## Resource

GS1030 April 21, 2026 Fred and Josh Karp continue to talk about the future of Golf Smarter as Josh takes over in the next episode. Also, in an effort for us all to learn more about Josh, we replay our original interview with him from April 20, 2010 after the release of his funny book, “Straight Down The Middle: Shiva Irons, Bagger Vance, and How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Golf Swing” The book covers his adventures and mis-adventures as he follows an enlightened path of instruction to better golf with various coaches, including many who've been featured on GOLF SMARTER.

He’ll be back in the near future to talk to both Josh and Fred. So as not to shake things up too much, Golf Smarter will continue twice each week. Tuesday's will be new episodes with Josh. On Fridays we’ll continue to rerun Fred's archived Mulligans episodes. I hope you’ll continue to listen. Thanks so much for your support and friendship over the years. As I move into retirement, my focus will be on playing and practicing a lot more golf! -Fred.
