What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Claude gets a lot of great and interesting people to discuss a variety of topics and I find them very interesting. But his interviewing skills and conversational skills, or lack thereof, can detract from the interview at times. He’ll ask a question, usually a good and interesting question, and then interrupt his guest midway through their response. This happens many times during every interview. Again, I enjoy his questions and his guests, but it’s hard to listen to at times when he spends more time talking instead of facilitating and letting his guests talk. Claude definitely makes a lot of good points and has a ton of knowledge and perspective to share, I’d just love for him to do more listening than talking when he has guests on.

I’d heard previously about this podcast, however I dismissed it due to Claude Harmon’s involvement in LIV. Recently, while looking for great instruction explained in a simple way I decided to give this Podcast a try. Man was I missing out! Claude does an amazing job explaining golf terms and what is meant by instructor’s . I’ve had to slow down my consumption since I find so many useful items. I can only work on a couple of things at a time! In short, if you’re looking to improve & understand the golf swing. This is a must listen to Golf Podcast.

Great guests and content but the host has to let the folks speak. I was really interested to hear Tommy Fleetwood’s thoughts but all I took away from the conversation was the thoughts of the host.

This used to be a great podcast that gave insights on how the best in the game approach the game. How they practice and what tips weekend golfers could incorporate into their own game. This has morphed into a sounding board for Claude to CONSTANTLY over talk his guests and whine about why LIV players don’t get OWGR points even though they knew they wouldn’t get them when they went to LIV. I don’t know how many tv deals LIV has to not close for you to understand that we don’t care to see LIV. Please get back to letting guests speak on the game of golf
