Luke Brosterhous Golf

Simple. Repeatable. Easy.

Great short game play isn’t about being perfect—it’s about using a technique that allows for some room for error.

The goal is never to hit a “perfect” shot. The goal is to develop a more efficient motion that holds up when it matters, in a variety of conditions.

Understand it. Feel it. Own it.
The Country Club at Castle Pines

Last week, my son and I had the chance to play a quiet round in the mountains. No place we needed to be afterward. Just a walk, a few good shots, and a few not-so-good ones.

It reminded me that golf is never really been about the shots.

It’s the time between the shots.

Realizing that every round asks something a little different of us—and so does life.

The game has unique way of bringing people together. Generations. Old friends. New friends.

It allows for a space that seems increasingly rare these days: time without distraction, that space where perspective changes…

Fortunately, I get to spend a lot of time helping people improve their golf swings. But the longer I’m around this game, the more I believe golf’s greatest value has very little to do with the swing.

3D has completely changed the way we understand how the best players move.

Center of mass moving LEFT matters.

The Step Change Drill is one of my favorite ways to exaggerate and train that movement—creating pressure, momentum and rotation without trying to manufacture a bunch of swing positions.

Swing back and up. Step toward the target. Swing through and out.

Your golf swing is a movement.

“Get athletic.”

It’s probably the most common setup instructions in golf…

…and one of the least helpful.

For most golfers, “getting athletic” turns into squatting, adding knee flex, moving into the heels, and creating a posture that makes it harder to turn, harder to use the ground, and harder to move the club through space.

Real athletic posture is different.

Stand taller.
Hinge from your hips.
Feel your weight load into your hamstrings.
Let your arms hang naturally.

From there, your body can rotate, create speed, and deliver the club with far fewer compensations.

Start setting up in a position that actually lets you move like an athlete.

Face Control: It’s Not Just Your Hands

Many golfers try to square the clubface with their hands alone.

The reality? Face control is largely influenced by two things:

✅ Grip
✅ Body Rotation

A stronger or weaker grip changes the clubface’s natural orientation throughout the swing.

Body rotation influences how the clubface is delivered to impact and the amount needed has to match the grip…Most people miss this.

If you’re fighting hooks, blocks, or slices, don’t just look at the clubface at impact—look at the grip and the amount of rotation that is required to square the face.

Better face control starts with understanding the relationship between the hands and the body.

GolfPerformance

Most golfers try to “fix” the clubface or swing path directly.

But often, the fastest changes happen when you change the environment and the player’s attention within it.

External cues shift movement patterns naturally. The brain organizes motion around a task or target — not around mechanical positions.

Instead of:
“Take it more inside.”
“Hold the face off.”

Try creating a task that influences the motion indirectly:

• Different start lines
• Obstacle constraints
• Curved ball flights
• Gate work
• Target-oriented intention

The body self-organizes.
Path changes.
Face patterns shift.
And players stop getting trapped in overthinking mechanics.

This is one of the most powerful intersections of motor learning, perception, and skill acquisition in modern coaching.

Environment drives behavior.
Behavior shapes movement.

M3 ⛳️ 🧘‍♂️ Mindsets:

Putting Without Attachment

One of the biggest traps in putting…
is being too attached to the result.

Make → good
Miss → bad

That’s the tension loop.

There’s a powerful idea in Ethan Hawkes “Rules for a Knight” where he talks about the archer:

“The archer must not be divided…
If his mind is on the result, on hitting the target, he loses the purity of the action itself.”

That’s exactly what happens on the greens.

When you’re standing over a putt thinking about whether it’s going in…
you’re divided.

Part of you is trying to execute.
Part of you is already reacting.

That split is where fear creeps in.
That’s where the stroke breaks down.
Freedom becomes fleeting.

Great putting is different.

It’s undivided attention:

* See the line
* Feel the pace
* Trust the stroke

Then let it go. Invest in the purity of the action.

No steering.
No protecting.
No needing it to go in.

The goal isn’t to make putts…
The goal is to roll it exactly how you see it, and be complete absorbed in that task.

Do that…
and you’ll make more than enough.
