This episode of Son of a Butch is brought to you by PLATFORM Golf — the world-class solution bringing uneven lies to off-course golf.

Whether you’re hitting indoors on a simulator or training from an in-to-out bay, PLATFORM Golf lets you practice like you’re out on the course — with sidehill, uphill, and downhill lies adjusting right beneath your feet.

It’s the first-of-its-kind solution giving players and coaches the ability to replicate real-world conditions, in or out of the studio. You don’t need to be on the 10th fairway to learn how to handle an awkward stance or sloping green — now you can train for it inside the studio.

Trusted by me and top PGA teaching professionals, PLATFORM Golf is changing how golf is practiced.
