Learning to Play Golf

The Golf Sit Down: Master Your Golf Game with the 6:15 System

Ever wonder why two golfers can both shoot a 72 but play completely different games? That’s the beauty—and the mystery—of golf. And it’s exactly what Episode 8 of The Golf Sit Down Podcast unpacks with the introduction of the 6:15 system.

Coaches Ryan Dailey and Seth Thompson break down how a simple stat combo—6 greens and 15 putts for 9 holes—can transform the way golfers of all ages and skill levels practice, compete, and develop. It’s not just about the final score anymore; it’s about understanding how you got there.

Originally designed to help juniors and parents navigate disappointment when they didn’t shoot “36,” the 6:15 system has become a go-to for developing smarter players. It simplifies post-round conversations, helps parents support their kids better, and gives coaches a clear roadmap for practice sessions.

Whether you’re helping an 8-year-old stay motivated, guiding a high schooler toward college golf, or training for your PGA PAT (Playing Ability Test), these two simple numbers can unlock game-changing insight.

Listen now to learn how the 6:15 system can give your players (and you) a whole new way to track progress, celebrate wins, and take the guesswork out of improvement.
