AI Ranked the 20 Best Golf Books Ever. It Got #1 Wrong. | No More Lies Ep. 7
<p>We asked AI to rank the 20 most influential golf instruction books in history. Then we tore the list apart.</p><p></p><p>Brian Manzella, Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America, and former touring pro Sam Osborne react to Grok's top 10: Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons, The Golfing Machine, Bob Rotella, Dave Pelz, Mark Broadie and more.</p><p></p><p>In this episode:</p><p>Why Hogan's "Five Lessons" actually contains eight fundamentals, and why the claim that it ruins slicers is baloney. The one grip picture in the book Brian says you should not copy.</p><p>The Golfing Machine: the hardest book to find, the worst-written book on the list, and still the most influential book in golf instruction today. It's not close.</p><p>The putting setup that had Brian rolling everything in from eight feet (a Pelz putting track and a training aid called The Plip, if you can find one on eBay).</p><p>How Bob Rotella invented the tour mental coach, how Mark Broadie's strokes gained proved the real separator between golfers is the 200-yard shot, and the one book Grok left off the list entirely that belongs in the top ten.</p><p></p><p>New episodes of No More Lies every Monday.</p><p></p><p>Subscribe and follow Funnel Golf: @funnelgolfx on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, and X.</p><p></p><p>Be your own coach.</p>

The Ugliest Fight in Golf Instruction | Ep. 6
<p>Golf instruction has a war going on, and this week Brian and Sam walk straight into it.</p><p></p><p>Brian Manzella (Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America) and Sam Osborne (former touring pro) trace Stack & Tilt back to its real roots: Homer Kelley's The Golfing Machine, Mac O'Grady's MORAD, and the symposiums that shaped a generation of teachers. Sam shares what happened when he actually tried the method as a tour player, and Brian makes the case for why no single system will ever take over golf, backed by GEARS data sitting right there in the room.</p><p></p><p>Also in this episode: Brian brings TrackMan proof that at 64 he can still get it out there (103.9 mph club head, 155.4 ball speed), and the guys debate whether distance is something you're born with. Sam checks in from the Ray Fisher amateur in Wisconsin and explains what it's really like teeing it up against college kids half his age, plus his honest take on whether ex-pros getting amateur status back is fair.</p><p></p><p>On the pro side: why Brian and Sam think the ball rollback died under Tour pressure, what the two-tier PGA Tour actually means for players (and the hometown-event problem nobody's talking about), and Sam's verdict on the Shinnecock setup from a guy who's played a U.S. Open himself.</p><p></p><p>No gurus. No systems. No spin.</p><p></p><p>New episodes every week. Subscribe so you don't miss one.</p>

Bryson, Gemini, and Why AI Could Wipe Out Half of Golf Instruction | Ep. 5
<p>Bryson DeChambeau went to the press and said AI helped fix his golf swing, name-dropping Google Gemini and tossing out terms like alpha torque, gamma torque, and passive squaring. Brian Manzella and Sam Osborne were not buying it.</p><p></p><p>In Episode 5 of No More Lies, the two veterans break down Bryson's AI press conference line by line: what he got right, what he got wrong, and why the idea of "passive squaring" does not survive contact with the actual physics. Brian explains real 6D club kinetics. </p><p></p><p>Then it gets bigger. The guys make the case that AI and swing apps will wipe out the middle tier of golf instruction within five years, why the top and the bottom of the market survive, and what that means for anyone teaching the game. Plus the gutting of Sports Illustrated's golf desk, why golf magazines always ducked the hard instruction stories, and a Jack Nicklaus equipment story that will stop you cold.</p><p></p><p>Golf without the spin. Two veterans saying what golf media won't.</p><p>Hosted by Brian Manzella, Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America, and Sam Osborne, former touring pro. New episodes weekly.</p><p></p>
