Mental Coach Carey Mumford, creator of the Clear Key System, spends nearly an hour in this entertaining and provocative episode that was originally published privately as a Members Only episode. This was my last conversation with Carey before he passed in 2013. Over the years, we’ve had many requests to hear more from Carey as all of his content, and his book, have basically disappeared after he died. Because of the Mental Game content we’ve focused on the last few episodes, I thought this was the perfect time to share this episode on Golf Smarter instead of Golf Smarter Mulligans This episode is brought to you by PXG Golf Clubs.

851: If you’ve taken a golf lesson in the last 15 years, your instructor may have used a Trackman launch monitor to gather shot data. But Trackman is a huge investment which can exceed $25,000.

Rapsodo is the clear leader in this space, being name the Best Personal Golf Launch Monitor of 2021 by MyGolfSpy because of its impressive performance against other Mobile Launch Monitors from SkyTrak, Flightscope, and Garmin. The great part of Rapsodo is that it can be used indoors or out, whether you’re hitting into a net or at the driving range.
