Big numbers don’t usually come from one bad swing. They often come from a pattern you haven’t properly noticed yet.
In this episode of Divot: The Golf Performance Podcast, PGA Performance Coach Steve Thomas explains how to use The Double Bogey Audit to find the shots, decisions, and mistakes that are really costing you on the course.
Instead of blaming your swing every time your score gets away from you, this episode helps you look at the evidence. You’ll learn how to review your double bogeys, identify the real cause of your dropped shots, and turn that information into a clearer practice plan.
Inside this episode, Steve covers:
• Why double bogeys are one of the biggest scoring leaks for many golfers• Why the shot you remember isn’t always the shot that cost you the score• How penalty shots, poor recoveries, short-game mistakes, three-putts, and bad decisions create bigger numbers• How to track your double bogeys over your next few rounds• How to use the pattern you find to choose a better practice priority
If you feel like you’re playing better golf than your score suggests, this episode will help you stop guessing, review your game more clearly, and build a smarter plan for improvement.

A better golf swing can help you hit better shots.
But it doesn’t automatically mean you’ll shoot lower scores.
In this episode of Divot: The Golf Performance Podcast, I break down why so many golfers improve their swing in practice but still struggle to transfer that improvement onto the course.
Inside the episode, I cover:
1. Why swing improvement alone isn’t enoughA better movement gives you potential, but scoring requires more than technical change.
2. The gap between the range and the courseWhy golfers can hit it well in practice but lose clarity, confidence, and control when every shot matters.
3. What golfers often missTechnique matters, but so do skill, strategy, decision-making, emotional control, routines, and practice structure.
4. A simple performance frameworkHow to move from guessing what to fix to using a clearer process:
Diagnose → Prioritise → Solution → Practise → Measure → Transfer
5. A practical action step for your own gameAfter your next round, write down the three shots that cost you the most and label each one as:
Technique, Skill, Strategy, or Performance.
That one exercise can tell you far more than simply asking, “What’s wrong with my swing?”
Because the goal isn’t just to build a better-looking swing.
The goal is to build a game that works on the course.
