I got an on-course lesson from former World #1 golfer Jon Rahm… and he didn’t just give “generic tips” — he broke down how pros think, choose targets, and manage misses in real time.

We start with something most golfers ignore: bag + club prep. Jon is obsessive (in the best way) about keeping grooves clean, keeping the bag organized, and treating your equipment like part of your scoring. Then we get into the real lesson — driver strategy + shot shaping, including how to pick a target for a fade and why Jon focuses more on the end point than the start line.

From there, Jon helps me with distance + speed (without turning it into a technical rabbit hole): how to swing faster using a “whip” feel, relax the hands, and stop wasting energy on the takeaway.

Then the video turns into a masterclass in course management — dialing the correct number, picking a club based on conditions, and aiming to maximize your miss. You’ll also hear a really cool mindset tip on stepping off putts for confidence, plus Jon’s approach to reading greens (entry point / tracing the break backward) and why a consistent routine matters most under pressure.

We finish with my biggest weakness: this rough. Jon shows the highest-percentage choice (bump-and-run vs flop), then gives an insanely practical breakdown on how to hit a higher shot properly — open the face first, then re-grip, widen the stance for stability, and keep the face open while swinging with speed (no decel).

If you want real Tour-level advice that actually helps your game — driver, approach strategy, putting, and short game — this one is packed.
