Practice Thinkers Podcast

Written by: Peter Arnott
Listen for free

A show about practice — the part of golf nothing measures. Peter Arnott has spent thousands of coaching hours asking one question: what does practice have to contain to show up on the course? He's found some answers, he's still searching, and he's made plenty of mistakes on the way. This show is him inviting you into the search. Some episodes are Pro Practice History interviews — tour players and elite golfers walking through their practice life, junior golf to tour, what stayed and what got cut. Some are conversations with the people who shape practice — coaches and sport scientists. And some are Peter on practice design itself — what a session has to contain, and why. Peter is a performance and practice coach and the founder of Ettle — the app that shows what kind of work your practice was.

    Title: Pro Practice History - Aidan O'Hagan
    Aug 11 2026
    The podcast is back. First conversation of the new run: Aidan O'Hagan, a professional golfer, on how his practice changed as he moved up — and what most golfers get wrong about theirs. Inside: The shot that went left three times in a round, and what it taught him about where to aim his practiceWhy he stopped grinding on technique and moved to a 70/30 splitExternal focus vs internal focus — what he thinks about over the ball nowStandards and consequences: what a practice session has to cost to mean anything"Compete as much as you can" — why almost everything he does now has a score on it Why the podcast went quiet: I spent the time rebuilding Practice Thinkers into an app. It's called Ettle now — a 30-second daily log that names what kind of work your practice was: Build, Challenge, or Prep. The first coaches and players are on it this month. It opens up in September. Links: Get first access to Ettle (plus a practice game every fortnight): https://ettle.golf
