060: Ralph Bauer – Traveling on the PGA Tour; The Green-Reading Method that Tour Winners Use

In this episode, we are joined by Ralph Bauer (@cdngolfcoach). Ralph is currently the Director of Instruction at Hamilton Golf and Country Club in Canada. Before taking that role in 2020, Ralph traveled on the PGA Tour for 19 years working with PGA Tour players. Ralph still coaches Tour players, but has reduced the number and the travel so he can spend time with his family. Ralph also helped invent the Tour Read app, an app that helps you learn to intuit the break of the putt.---Follow us: Twitter - @TournamentCode Instagram - @thetournamentcode YouTube - The Tournament Code Hosted by: Cooper Collins (@coopercollins99) and Daniel Hamrin (@DanielHamrin)---(02:57) - long-term sustainable advantage(03:30) - shortcomings of previous coaches(06:58) - working with friends on Tour(11:25) - external vs. internal practice(13:15) - coaching based on player tendencies(16:29) - green reading training system(19:33) - improving green reading skills(24:01) - becoming a great green reader(26:18) - controlling the golf swing(29:48) - putting practice techniques(33:20) - greens getting faster during the week(37:19) - green reading books(39:15) - green reading techniques
