1 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,079 Speaker 1: It's the Son of a Butcher podcast. We come to 2 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: you every Wednesday. I'm your host, Claude Harmon. We're gonna 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: do a solo episode of the pod this week, but 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: wanted to take a moment and thank our partners at 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: rap Sodo. If you've been listening to the pod, you 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: know then I'm a big fan of their launch monitors, 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: and I really like the MLM. It utilizes Doppler radar, 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: so you can use it with your iPhone or your iPad. 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: And the thing I like about this it's under three 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: hundred dollars, right, So a lot of the launch monitor 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: technology out there a little bit more expensive. And I 12 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: think launch monitor technology is getting, you know, cheaper and 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: cheaper because different companies like Rhapsoda are saying, okay, how 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: can we help the regular golfers. Yes, if you've got 15 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: thousands upon thousands of dollars, there are different models you 16 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: can buy. You see them on tour. But for the 17 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: everyday golfer that's just trying to get better, you're gonna 18 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: get remarkable accuracy. You can use this indoor or outdoor. 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: It's portable, and the cool thing is so the shot 20 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: tra So we're used to seeing on TV behind all 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: the players shows you the shape of the shot. The 22 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: MLM has that has performance combines, and again, as I 23 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, under three hundred dollars, I just think if 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: you're trying to get better at your golf, having this 25 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: type of technology for this price allows you to look 26 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: at a lot of the same numbers that the best 27 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: players in the world are looking at. So obviously I 28 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: work with players that are winning majors, winning tournaments, play 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: all over the world, but when I'm not on tour, 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: I work with regular everyday golfers and I'm always trying 31 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: to figure out ways that they can get better. And 32 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: I think for under three hundred dollars, you can use 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: it with your iPhone. It doesn't really take that much 34 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: to set up.

So I wanted 45 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: to talk today about the difference between working with elite 46 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: tour players and everyone else that I teach. I just 47 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: got back from a fairly lengthy three weeks on the road, 48 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: and it was probably nine out of the last eleven. 49 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: But when I got back straight into golf lessons today, 50 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: and you know, it's interesting. I think when you're working 51 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: with really really good elite tour players, I mean I 52 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: think that I probably spend more time on just when 53 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, when you're looking, I mean specifically the guys 54 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: that I work with, you know, Brooks, DJ, Pat Perez. 55 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: But when I look back at kind of all of 56 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: the players, you know, both on the men's and the 57 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: women's side, that I've been lucky enough to work with, 58 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say there's so I mean, it's not nearly 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: as technical as I think everyone thinks it's, at least 60 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: not for me. Maybe that's just me and the way 61 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 1: that I teach. But I mean, if I look at 62 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: really since before the Masters, if I look at kind 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: of the way Brooks has been trending and the way 64 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: Brooks has been playing, the majority of the work that 65 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: I think we've done over the last month till a 66 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: month and a half has basically been predominantly where Brooks 67 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: is con termed set up related right ball position basics. 68 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I've mentioned this a couple of times 69 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: on the pod, but that's not the sexy stuff right 70 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: now in twenty twenty three, right there aren't a lot 71 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: of people making, you know, Instagram or YouTube videos about grip, stance, posture, 72 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: and alignment. And it's something that that I think is 73 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: still very very important, but I think it's probably more important. Yes, 74 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: it's important for the average golfer the right grip, the 75 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: right setup, the right posture, the right alignment. But specifically 76 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: from you know, an elite tour player. You know standpoint, 77 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: these guys have so much speed, right they're all swinging 78 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: the golf club now, you know everybody, you know, it 79 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: seems like everybody on tour is you know, over one 80 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: seventy ball speed, over one fifteen to one eighteen, you know, 81 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: over that in clubhead speed. So when the basics and 82 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: when just the basic fundamentals get off, good players can 83 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: hit the golf ball miles off line because they have 84 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: so much speed, right they already are swinging the golf 85 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: So in Brooks's case, with a driver, Brooks is you 86 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: know over one hundred and twenty miles per hour club 87 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: at speed, and you know over one hundred and eighty 88 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: mile per hour ball speed. So when his grip, his posture, 89 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: his stance, his alignment, his ball position, when something gets 90 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: off before he's hitting the golf ball, because he's already 91 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: got so much speed, he can start hitting the golf 92 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: ball miles offline. And so sometimes it's I would say 93 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: most times it's a slight tweak here there. Yes, every 94 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: player has their own kind of swing signature, their own 95 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: swing DNA, and so all of the players that I 96 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: work with, they all kind of have their own idiosyncrasies 97 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: in their own way of doing things. But one of 98 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: the things that I'm always checking is what they are 99 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: doing in their setup. And listen, everybody has you know, 100 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: from a tour standpoint, a lot of people have. You know, 101 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: there isn't necessarily one setup. There are guys that you know, 102 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: play with the golf ball a little bit more forward 103 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: in their stands. There are guys that maybe like get 104 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more back in their stands. There are 105 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: players that tend to get or like to get a 106 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: little bit closed in their setup. There are players that 107 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: like to get a little bit open. So, you know, 108 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: from a tour standpoint, I think setups and they're very, 109 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: very I think in twenty twenty three they are unique 110 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: because not everybody has the same kind of setup. But 111 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: having said that, you have to look at what a 112 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: player is doing and kind of know what their DNA is, 113 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: and you know, specifically for the guys you know that 114 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: I work with Brooks and DJ both like to fade 115 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: the golf ball. So we're looking at things that we 116 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: can do in their setup that are going to help 117 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: them be able to consistently fade the golf ball. First 118 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,119 Speaker 1: and foremost, for both of them, the ball gets back 119 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: in their stance, it's going to cause problems, right, They're 120 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: not going to be able to hit the golf ball 121 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: the way they want to, specifically if they're trying to 122 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: fade it because the golf ball gets too far back 123 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: in the stance. They're going to catch it too early 124 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: in circle and they can't really get the path where 125 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: they need it to be. Now, if you are trying 126 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: to hit Draws ball up in your stance, probably isn't 127 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: going to help you because it's going to mess up 128 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: your posture, it's going to mess up your alignment, but 129 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: it's also going to mess up where you're catching the 130 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: golf ball. So specifically with Brooks and DJ trying to 131 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: make sure that they make sure they keep that golf 132 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: ball forward. So a lot of times it's just basic. 133 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: They can be hitting it quite poorly and then we 134 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: can make a small, minor little tweak to the alignment 135 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: and that all of a sudden changes everything, right, It 136 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: changes the way they're catching the golf ball. One of 137 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: the things that we've been seeing, even though he hasn't 138 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: necessarily hit every golf shot perfect, really Brooks for about 139 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: the last month to a month and a half has 140 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: been hitting the golf ball as solid as I've seen 141 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: him hit it maybe ever. And the misses are solid. 142 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: So the misses are in the middle of the club face. 143 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: So anytime the misses are solid, we're going to look at, 144 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: is that mechanics or is that kind of something that's 145 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: happening before he hits the golf ball. So I mean 146 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: he's still fighting right now, having the golf ball too 147 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: far back in his stance, which then closes his shoulders 148 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: a little bit too much, which then tends to get 149 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: him aiming a little bit more to the right. So 150 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: a lot of what I've been doing over the last 151 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: you know, three four or five weeks is just been 152 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, standing face on and just saying, hey, listen, 153 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: let's get the ball position a little bit more forward. 154 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: If you've watched any of his warm ups, you've also 155 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: noticed his caddy, Ricky Elliott. Every now and again, he'll 156 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: call Ricky in and he'll have Ricky kind of get 157 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: into his stances. So Brooks will take his stance. He'll 158 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: go ahead and take his club, the head of his 159 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: golf club and kind of put it where his right 160 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: toe is. Ricky'll stand in there, he'll step back, and 161 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: then he'll do that for the left foot as well. 162 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: And so you'll see Brooks do that a lot. Kind 163 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: of go and look and say, okay, where's the ball position? 164 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: Where is it? You know, where's the setup. And so 165 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: we as guys on Brooks' team, we're definitely second pairs 166 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: of eyes for him because he can't see himself. And 167 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: I've talked about that a lot on the pod as well. 168 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people ask me, hey, you know, 169 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: when I see you on TV standing behind these guys, 170 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: it turned it. You're not really saying that much. I 171 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: mean that's, first of all, that's one hundred percent by design, 172 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to say as little as I possibly 173 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: can because warm ups, specifically warm ups before rounds, there's 174 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: not really a lot that you can do. Right The 175 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: players are going to go play and they've kind of 176 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: got to play with what they've got. And I mean 177 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: it was really interesting. Brooks, even though he won at Oakhill, 178 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: won the PGA his fifth major, he didn't feel like 179 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: he was hitting it that great. He felt, and I 180 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: definitely felt and I know Ricky Elliott as Catty felt 181 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: the same. He hit it much better at Augusta, but 182 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: he didn't win at Augusta and he hit it, didn't 183 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: hit it that great. His warm up was I'd say 184 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: his warm up on Sunday at o'kill was, you know, 185 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: on scale of one to ten, I'd probably give it 186 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: a six or a seven at Augusta on Sunday before 187 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: the final round, I'd give it a fifteen. That's how 188 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: much better it was. But he didn't win that day, 189 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: and he was able to get it done on Sunday 190 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: at Augusta, I mean at o'kill. He wasn't able to 191 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: get it done Sunday at Augusta at the Masters, but 192 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: he was hitting it better at the Masters, and he 193 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: was hitting it at o'kill. But I think that just 194 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: goes to what I've talked about a lot on the 195 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: pod is technique versus execution. I mean, he was fighting 196 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: a little bit of a setup, and so the setup 197 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: has a lot to do with how he hits the 198 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: golf ball. DJ is a little bit of the same. 199 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: Right when DJ's kind of basics get off again, grip stance, 200 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: past your alignment. DJ's tendency is it's the distance from 201 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: the golf ball that he tends to get right. He 202 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: can get sometimes a little bit too far away from 203 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: the golf ball, which can really have a dramatic effect 204 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: on how he strikes the golf ball. And then you know, 205 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: we're we're always looking at what players do and kind 206 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: of monitoring kind of their kind of DNA, right, what 207 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: is it that we know makes them really good players? 208 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: And I think after working with you know, both Brooks 209 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: and DJ for you know, over a decade, you kind 210 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: of have a really good idea of where they are. 211 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: So I'm constantly to I think it's really important for 212 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: everyone listening. Take videos of your setup, take videos from 213 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: face on, and then take videos from down the line. 214 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: And you know, especially if you get into really good, 215 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: you know, spells of good ball striking, I always want 216 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: I mean that's one of the things on Sunday at o'kill, 217 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, right before Brooks is getting ready to tee off. 218 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's got a chance to win, you know, 219 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: a major championship. He's playing good, he's swinging the golf 220 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: club well. So I want to document that and get 221 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: an idea of what he's doing. So I take a 222 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: lot of video. And you know, Brooks and DJ, they 223 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: want a lot of video. They like looking at the 224 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: DJ probably maybe a little bit more so than Brooks. 225 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: Brooks he likes to look at, you know, videos, He'll 226 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: kind of he has his things that he likes to 227 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: look at. So most of the time I've got my 228 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: idea of what I'm saying to Brooks, and I'll say, hey, listen, 229 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: these are things I think we need to do, which 230 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: all of which he agrees with. But he'll kind of 231 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: take my phone every now and go, let me go 232 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,719 Speaker 1: and take a look at that and just run at 233 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: myself because he's looking for his own things, right, So 234 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: the player will have things that they're looking for in 235 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: their golf swing and the coach will have the instructor 236 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: will have things they're looking for. I think we're definitely 237 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: both on the same page with that. But I think 238 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that you're taking video of 239 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: your golf swing, video of your setup, both face on 240 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: and down the line, so you can have a good 241 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: idea of what a good setup for you looks like. 242 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: So if you're hitting really good shots on the range 243 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: and you're in a practice session and you're flushing it 244 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: and it looks pretty good, go ahead and take a 245 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: video of what you look like it's set up both, 246 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: you know, face on and down the line, so you've 247 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: got that so you know that if you get to 248 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: a place where you're not hitting it well, you can 249 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: then go back and video yourself and say, okay, let 250 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: me just go ahead and eliminate all of the things 251 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: I'm doing before I hit the golf ball right, all 252 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: of the things that don't take any athletic or golf ability, 253 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: because it doesn't take any athletic or golf ability to 254 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: set up to a golf ball in the right way right, 255 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: to have the right distance, to have the right alignment, 256 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: to get your hands in the right place, to get 257 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: your grip in the right place. All of those things 258 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: are really really vital. And I just think that sometimes 259 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: people completely overlook basics, you know, they overlook what's happening 260 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: before you're actually swinging the golf club. And I think 261 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: if if golfers paid more attention to that and really 262 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: really hyper vigilant on their setup, I think it will 263 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: definitely help your ball striking, you know, being consistent with 264 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: where your ball position is, be inconsistent with where your 265 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: hands are at address. That was another thing that happened 266 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: to Brooks at o'kill. His hands had just gotten a 267 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: little bit back on Thursday. He said he felt it 268 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: on the golf course. Why, I don't know, you know, 269 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: these guys aren't robots, they're not machines. They're going to 270 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, do something. So really it was kind of 271 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: a quick fix to where we were just able to 272 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: go to the range and just move the hands a 273 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: little bit more forward. Then the ball position, then all 274 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: of the things that we were trying to work on 275 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: just kind of fall into line. But definitely check your 276 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: ball position, check your alignment, check your posture, and get 277 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: good images of that that you've got with you so 278 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: that if you're not playing the way you want to, 279 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: if your ball striking isn't the way you want it, 280 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: you can then go, okay, let me go back to 281 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: three weeks ago where I was playing really really well. 282 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: That's why I've got you know, ten eleven, twelve thousand 283 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: videos on my phone because it's a catalog. I've got 284 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: albums for Brooks, I've got albums for DJ, I've got 285 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: albums for pat Press, and I just dump all of 286 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: the videos in there. So I've got all of this 287 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: stuff that I can go look at and every now 288 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: and again, you know, a player will say to me, hey, 289 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: you know last year, three weeks ago, month ago, two 290 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: weeks ago, whatever, many videos from that that practice session 291 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: or that day or that tournament or that week, and 292 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: we can always then go and compare and contrast what 293 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: they're doing before they hit the golf ball. So I 294 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: think it's not sexy, it's not glamorous, but really really important. 295 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: And then obviously, in the lessons that I give on 296 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: a regular basis to just average regular golfers, I think 297 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: setup is hugely, hugely important. I think alignment is probably 298 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: the thing that I see most in golf lessons that 299 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: I give at home when I'm when I'm not on tour. 300 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people really really struggle with 301 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: what happens before they make a golf swing, and a 302 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: lot of times it can be a slight change in alignment. 303 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: It's a generalization, but I would say the majority of 304 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: the golfers that I see tend to have the anti 305 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: slice setup, so they're closed with their feet and their 306 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: shoulders are open and with irons. A lot of times 307 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: you'll see players that are in that setup. You know 308 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: they're in they've read all the books and the magazines 309 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: and heard all of the things that say, listen, if 310 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: you want to draw it, you know, aim to the right, 311 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: get closed with your chest, get closed with your shoulders, 312 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: get closed with your feet. But I think a lot 313 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: of times because they're slicing the golf ball, the golf 314 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: ball is going to the right, they're aiming massively to 315 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: the right. But then because they're so tired of hitting 316 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: the golf ball to the left or to excuse me, 317 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: to the right, they're going to aim their shoulders instinctively 318 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: more to the to the left. And with irons, it's generalization, 319 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: but I see more players struggle with the ball being 320 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: too far forward at address with their irons. Then I 321 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: see it being too far back, and I think the 322 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: reason for that is for some I wish I actually 323 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: knew the reason for that for some reason, it's a generalization, 324 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: but when the golf ball with the irons gets too 325 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: far forward in their stands, rarely do I see someone 326 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: get too closed in their setup. What we tend to 327 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: see is if that ball position gets too far forward 328 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: with an iron, because the clubs are shorter, it's easier 329 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: for you to set up to it, and the shoulders 330 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: are going to be open. So probably the most common 331 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: set up mistake that I see is feet aim into 332 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: the right, shoulders aiming to the left, and so a 333 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: lot of times it's you work the opposite right. You'll 334 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: say to a player Okay, feel like you're a little 335 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: bit open with your feet, and then feel like you're 336 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: a little bit more closed with the shoulders. And if 337 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: we can get you into that set up position, if 338 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: I can get the player to feel like their shoulders 339 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: aren't so wide open when they go ahead and address 340 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,719 Speaker 1: the golf ball with their shoulders a little bit more 341 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: square and their shoulders a little bit more neutral. Now 342 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: they see how far forward that golf ball is, right, 343 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: that golf ball starts to get really, really really far 344 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: forward in their stands because now their chest is square 345 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: and it's not open. And then that's an opportunity for me, 346 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: as an instructor and as a coach, say, okay, now 347 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: we move that golf ball back to a little bit 348 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: more of a neutral position. And that's going to help 349 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: you with your ballflight, it's going to help you with 350 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: your contact, it's going to help you with a lot 351 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,479 Speaker 1: of things. But I mean, I don't practice without an 352 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: alignment stick down. There are tour players that are religious. 353 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: DJ is one that definitely always has an alignment stick down. 354 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: He likes to know where his feet or aimed. Adam 355 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: Scott's one that's come to mind. He loves to practice 356 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: with an alignment rod, and I think it's low hanging fruit, right. 357 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: It's an easy way to make sure that you're set 358 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: up that your feeder aiming where you're trying to go. 359 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: And then the other thing that I think is really 360 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: important is, and you can do this with an alignment 361 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: stick as well, is don't get locked into just being 362 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: or just aiming at one target. Right. I think that's 363 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: something that I see that's very common. A lot players 364 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: just get locked into that one target. They hit bucket 365 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: after the ball after ball, bucket after bucket, and they 366 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: never really change the target. So I think, yeah, I mean, 367 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: if you're working on mechanics, and you're working on you know, 368 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: very specific mechanical things, if you're doing a bunch of drills, okay, 369 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: maybe stay at the same target. But after you've done that, 370 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: you want to say to yourself, Okay, let's see if 371 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: any of this is working. Let's see if anything that 372 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm trying to work on from a drill standpoint, from 373 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: a technique standpoint, let me see if any of this 374 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: stuff is actually really helping me in my golf swing. 375 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: And that's where I think you can go ahead and 376 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: then say okay, let me you can still use an 377 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: alignment stick, right, You could still take an alignment stick, 378 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: but go through a variety of different targets, because that's 379 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: always going to help you start to get into game mode. Right. 380 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: I get asked so many times over the course of 381 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: the year, how do I simulate what happens on the 382 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: golf course in my practice sessions? Right? How do I 383 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: practice like I'm going to be playing on the golf course. 384 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: And I think one of the ways that you can 385 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: do that is golf I think tends to get practiced 386 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: in in block practice, right, in repetition, same golf club, 387 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: same target, trying to make the same swing over and 388 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: over and over and over again. And I think that's 389 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: great if you're working on something specific technique wise, but 390 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: I've discussed this in the past. I think you definitely 391 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: want to break up your practice and do half of 392 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: what I'll call block practice and half of what I 393 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: would call random practice. Block practice is, you know, drills 394 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: a lot of repetition, working on feelings, working on technique, 395 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: doing the same thing over and over and over again. 396 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: You're just kind of drilling in feels. Right, If you're 397 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: working on something with your coach, or your instructor trying 398 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: to get that back swing a little bit more inside, 399 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: maybe making the backswing a little bit whatever. The technical 400 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: the technique that you're working on block practice and lots 401 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: of repetition is great for that. But then in your practice, 402 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: I think what you also want to do is say, Okay, now, 403 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: let me see if any of the stuff that I'm 404 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: working on actually is really working on the driving range 405 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: before I go to the golf course, right before I 406 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: get out there and take the test, let me go 407 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: and practice taking the test. The test is standing up 408 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: and hitting shots, hitting shots to different targets, moving around 409 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: on the driving range, not getting locked into one thing 410 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: and not getting locked into Okay, if I'm going to 411 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: work on my golf swing and work golf swing thoughts 412 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: and technique, that's going to be where I'm doing this 413 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: in block practice. When I go into random practice and 414 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm picking new targets and I'm changing up the targets 415 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: and stuff, you're not thinking about your golf swing there. 416 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: You're trying to play golf. You're trying to hit shot. Now, 417 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: if you find you're unable to do what you're trying 418 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: to do, that's when you shut it down, shut down 419 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: the random practice, and go back into block practice. I 420 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: really fundamentally believe that most golfers could improve by just 421 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: practicing smarter and practicing better. And sometimes that's less technique 422 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: and more kind of targets, more hitting shots, more hitting shapes, 423 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: more hitting it high, more hitting it low. That's more 424 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: of the kind of playing of the game. And that's 425 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: the randomness of the game. Right when you get out 426 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: on the golf course. Let's say you've been doing a 427 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: lot of block practice, a lot of repetition with a 428 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: seven or an eight iron, and you've just been pound 429 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: in seven and eight irons. Well, if you think about it, 430 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: you could go to the golf course and it might 431 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: be two, three fours, four holes it depending on where 432 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: you're playing, it might even be to the back nine 433 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: before you actually have a shot on the golf course 434 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: with the golf club that you do the majority of 435 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: your practice with. So I think everybody has a favorite club, 436 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 1: right And if you are working on technique, if you 437 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: are working on specific things in your golf swing, yes, 438 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: I do think it's easier to do that with shorter 439 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: clubs because they're easier to control. It's hard to work 440 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: a lot of technique with your driver, because first and 441 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: foremost you're worried about how far it's going. You're worried 442 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: about the distance you're going to swing harder because it's 443 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: the driver. But I do think it's important also in 444 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:44,479 Speaker 1: your practice sessions. It's okay to work with your favorite club, right. 445 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: Everybody has one. Everybody has it's for a lot of players. 446 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: It's seven iron, it's an eight iron, something like that, 447 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: maybe even a six iron. But those are great things 448 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: to Those are great clubs to use if you're just 449 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: working on drills and mechanics. But then you have to go, Okay, 450 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: now let me go try. Let me do odd numbers, right, 451 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: So let me go through my bag. Let me give 452 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: myself five shots with all of the odd number clubs 453 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: in my bag, pick out my targets, figure out where 454 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: I want the ball to start for the shape that 455 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to hit, and let me go through all 456 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: the odds. So nine, seven, five, if you carry a 457 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: three iron or three hybrid something like that, right after 458 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: you've gotten warmed up, do that five balls with each 459 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: and pick different targets. So five balls with each club 460 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: and pick out a different target with every ball, right, 461 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: So you're gonna go through all the evens, and then 462 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: the following day you could go through the odds. Whatever 463 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: it is. I don't really care. But give yourself five 464 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: shots with each club, so you've got if you're doing odds, 465 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: nine iron, seven iron, five iron, and then three iron, 466 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: you've got five with each. Go through five different targets 467 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: with each, go through your routine on the driving range 468 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: with each, and treat each shot like you would treat 469 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: it on the golf course. So however many practicings you make, 470 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: do that, however many waggles you make, do that, but 471 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: go through your full routine of practice swings, getting behind it, 472 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: how you walk into it. I think that's really really 473 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: important because I just see a lot of players practicing 474 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: and when you're on the driving range, so many golf balls, 475 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: and if you hit a bad one, you just rake 476 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: another one over, and hey, I'm just gonna use that ball. 477 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: I hit a bad one, let me fire one over. 478 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: The other thing that I think is really important is 479 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: give yourself a pitch count. Right when you're practicing, Say, okay, 480 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: I've done my block practice right, I've hit however many 481 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: balls I've needed to hit to try and groove this 482 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: technique or this theory or this thought or this feeling. 483 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: Let me go ahead and hit a bunch of balls 484 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: like that and then say, okay, now I'm going to 485 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: go for quality over quantity. Right, so I'm going to 486 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: not rapid fire golf balls. I'm actually going to go 487 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: Now I'm in random practice. I'm going to take now 488 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: my seven iron I've been grinding working on Let's say, 489 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm working on shortening in my backswing and getting the 490 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: club more in front of me on the downswing. Right, 491 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,959 Speaker 1: So I do my practice work on that. You know, 492 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: do a bunch of technique drills, do a bunch of feels, 493 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: do a bunch of different things, and say, okay, now 494 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: let me see if any of this stuff works. So, 495 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: now I'm gonna hit five shots with my seven iron, 496 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: and I'm going to choose five different targets. Now I'm 497 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: going to take five shots with my five iron. I'm 498 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: going to choose five different targets. And I'm going to 499 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: take five shots with my three iron, five different targets. Right, 500 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: you're going through your full routine. You're going through how 501 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: you would approach the golf ball, and then you know 502 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: The other thing I think is really good is on 503 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: your phone, go ahead and time that in time how 504 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: long your pre shot routine is. I think sometimes you'd 505 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: be really, really surprised. One of the things that I 506 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: do with players, specifically elite golfers, is I'll look at 507 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: and I'll film and time their pre shot routine, how 508 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: many times they look at the whole, how many waggles 509 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: they have, and then I'll make them watch that. Most 510 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: of the time, I think they're surprised at how long 511 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: it's taking them to hit the ball. I think they're 512 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: probably surprised as to how many waggles they're taking. One 513 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: of the things that I see consistently when I'm home 514 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: with the average golfer is they glance very quickly at 515 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: the target, stare at the golf ball, glance quickly at 516 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: the target, stare at the golf ball, and then just 517 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: kind of get frozen staring at the golf ball. Whereas 518 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: you look at the best players in the world, the 519 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: best players in the world glance at the golf ball, 520 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,239 Speaker 1: stare at the target, glance at the golf ball at 521 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: the target, so they're always kind of looking at where 522 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: they want to hit the ball. The golf ball is 523 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: not going to move right, What are you looking at 524 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: the golf ball? And what are you staring at the 525 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: golf ball for so much it's not going to move. 526 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: You'd be better off staring at your target. So go 527 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: ahead and video your from face on. Go ahead and 528 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: video your how you get into the golf ball and 529 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: everything you do before you hit the golf ball. And 530 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: the other thing I'll do is I'll ask players the 531 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: looks that they're looking at right. You know how many 532 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: looks Sometimes you'll see players have three, four, five, six 533 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: looks from ball to target, ball to target, ball to target. 534 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: They tend to be quite quick. I'll ask a player, 535 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: what actually are you looking for? What are you trying 536 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: to see? Now? If they're using visualization, if they're trying 537 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: to visualize where the ball is starting, they're not going 538 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: to be doing that right. They're not going to be 539 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: glancing at the target, staring at the golf ball, glancing 540 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: at the target, staring at the golf ball. If they're 541 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: really working kind of their visual and really want that 542 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: kind of visual of what the SHOT's going to look like, 543 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: they are looking at where they want to start the 544 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: golf ball they're looking at where their target is. They're 545 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: glancing very briefly at the golf ball, and I think 546 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: that everyone that's listening, if you can improve what you're 547 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: doing before you hit the golf ball, to me, those 548 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: are easy wins, right, that's low hanging for Those are 549 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: gains that everybody can make because they don't take any ability. Right. 550 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: You could take someone that was blind and deaf and 551 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: you could put their hands on the golf club. You 552 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: could set them up to the golf club. You could 553 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: physically get them into the posture, ball position, posture alignment 554 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: that you would want them to do. I'm not saying 555 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: they could be able to hit the golf ball, but 556 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: you could definitely get them to set up right. And 557 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: when we're talking about setups, if you think about let's 558 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: say you're going to tee off. There's a group in 559 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: front of you Saturday morning. You're waiting to tee off, 560 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: so you get to the tee early, and there's putting 561 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: green right next to the first tee, and you're watching 562 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: the group in front of you tee off pretty much 563 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: by looking at the way each individual player. Let's say 564 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: there's threesome in front of you and you're gonna watch 565 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: all of them t off, you're probably making a good 566 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: evaluation of how long the round is going to take 567 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: based off of what these players do before they ever 568 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: hit a golf ball, Right, You're probably so. If you 569 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: watched Rory McElroy, and Roy McElroy was in the group 570 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: in front of you, you didn't know it was Rory 571 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: basically by the way how many practice swings he made, 572 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: how many looks at the target, how many looks at 573 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: the ball, his waggles, his movements, his posture, his alignment. 574 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: If you're watching someone like a Rory McElroy or a 575 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson or a Scotty Scheffler set up to the 576 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: golf ball, you're making an evaluation of the type of 577 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: player they are based off of how they're setting up 578 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: to the golf ball and based off of what they 579 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: do before they hit a golf ball. So, if you 580 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: see a player that kind of has that kind of 581 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: tour player kind of pre shot routine to where they're 582 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: getting behind the golf ball, they're making a couple of 583 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: practice swings, they get behind their golf ball, they're really 584 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: kind of focusing in on their target. They walk in 585 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: and if you watch them on the golf course, you're 586 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: probably going to see them do the same thing every time, 587 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: and the amount of waggles they're going to have are 588 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: probably going to be about the same. How many times 589 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: they look at the ball and the target and all that, 590 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: that's probably going to be the same. So I think 591 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: if you watch someone you put a mask over Rory 592 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: McElroy and you watched him go through his pre shot routine, 593 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: I think you would be shocked if he topped it, 594 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: if he shanked it, if he hit it one hundred 595 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: and fifty yards, or sliced it or laid the sod 596 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: over it or whatever. I think you'd be surprised based 597 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: off of what was happening before he hit the golf ball, 598 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: if he hit a bad shot in the same way 599 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: that you look at that player that's all hunched over, 600 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: and he's got the four knuckles and an elbow grip, 601 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: and he's got the quick waggles, and he's not even 602 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: looking at where he's aiming. His feet are aiming to 603 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: the right, shoulders are massively open. Everything tends to be 604 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: kind of quick in the movement pattern. But then they 605 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: get over and there's a million waggles and there's a 606 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: million kind of shuffling of the feet and all that. 607 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,239 Speaker 1: You're surprised if that person pipes one two ninety down 608 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: the middle of the fairway. I mean, we've all been there, right, 609 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: So you're making value judgments based off of how good 610 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: a player is, based off of their grip, stance, posture, 611 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: and alignment. So if you're doing that and you're looking 612 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: at the best players in the world, and you're looking 613 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: at the way that they set up, and you're looking 614 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: at it and it seems maybe different than what you do, 615 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: I think it's really important to go ahead and video 616 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: of that video you're set up from face on down 617 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: the line, and video you know, five swings, and then 618 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: see if anything looks the same. Is the ball position 619 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: the same, is the alignment the same, or the feet 620 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: in the same place. How many waggles are you making? 621 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 1: How many times are you looking at the golf ball, 622 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: how many times you looking at the hole? How long 623 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,439 Speaker 1: are you taking over the shot? And I think if 624 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: everyone could improve what they're doing before they hit the 625 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: golf ball, it can make a massive, massive difference in 626 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 1: what's happening when you're trying to hit the golf ball. Now, 627 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: if you've got a great setup, great ball position, great alignment, 628 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: great posture, and then you have a garbage golf swing, 629 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: maybe it's not going to help you. But I do 630 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: think that based off of what I see day in 631 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: and day out, just specifically on tour, grip, stance, posture, 632 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: alignment can have a massive effect on how you're hitting 633 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: the golf ball. And I think that's true whether you're 634 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: a tour player or you're a regular golfer. But like 635 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: I said at the beginning, it's not sexy. There's not 636 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: a lot of Instagram videos on posture. There's not a 637 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: lot of Instagram videos on ball position and set up. 638 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 1: There's tons of those on backswing, laying it down, handle, 639 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,319 Speaker 1: center of master's, tons of all that new stuff that's 640 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: out there. But I promise you what you're doing before 641 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: you hit the golf ball has as much effect on 642 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: the outcome as anything that you're doing in your golf swing. 643 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: So posture, set up, alignment, grip, where your hands are at, address, 644 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: where that ball position is. Make sure that you have 645 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: a good idea of what the basics are before you 646 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: hit a golf ball. When you're hitting your golf ball 647 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: your best and if you can have a video record 648 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,720 Speaker 1: of that picture reference of that to where if things 649 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: get off, you can go, okay, I'm hitting it sideways now, 650 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: because as soon as the average golfer starts to hit 651 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: it bad, they start trying to make massive, massive, massive changes. 652 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: And sometimes you don't really have to make these big changes. 653 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: Maybe you just need to move your ball a little 654 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 1: bit more forward, Maybe you need to move your ball 655 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: a little bit further back. Hey, maybe you just need 656 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: to watch where you're aiming. Maybe you just need to 657 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: make sure that you don't get too far away from 658 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 1: the golf ball, that your head isn't too down. All 659 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: of these things can be fixed and attended to before 660 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: you hit a golf ball. And if you can get 661 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: in the process of making sure that, okay, when I 662 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: hit a shot offline, I want to be able to 663 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: eliminate my posture as an issue, my grip is an issue, 664 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,919 Speaker 1: my ball position as an issue, how far away from 665 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: the golf ball I was, all of the basics, then 666 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 1: you can go, Okay, it wasn't my alignment, it wasn't 667 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 1: my posture, it wasn't my ball position, wasn't anything that 668 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: I was doing before I hit the golf ball. So 669 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: then you have a good idea of saying, okay, if 670 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: I can tick those boxes off as being issues, then 671 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: I can start to say, okay, well, the single biggest 672 00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: effect on where the golf ball is going to go 673 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: is where you, as the player, present it at the 674 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: moment of impact. So wherever that face is pointing at impact, 675 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: that's where the golf ball is probably going to end 676 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: up if it's shot, if it's open. But if you 677 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: can sometimes I see players hitting really good shots that 678 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: miss greens and they think it's a terrible shot, and 679 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, that's exactly where you were aimed, and they're like, really, 680 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: that's exactly where you're in. You were aimed in the 681 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,879 Speaker 1: right bunker on this part three. Let's go and get 682 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: you feeling like you're aiming a little bit left of 683 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: the flag right and the player will say, oh no, no, 684 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: that's way offline. Then they hit the middle of the 685 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: green and you show them where they're aiming and they're like, ah, okay, 686 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: so I don't need to make a massive overhaul my 687 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 1: golf swing. No, you just need to make sure that 688 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 1: your basics are good. So maybe not the fanciest, coolest 689 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 1: stuff to talk about, but wanted to do a pot 690 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: on it because it's something that I see both on 691 00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: tour but at home when I'm giving lessons to regular golfers. Basics, 692 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: the way you set up to the golf ball massively, 693 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: massively important. So get a good idea of what your 694 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: setup looks like when you were playing your best, when 695 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: you were hitting the golf ball solid. And I do 696 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: think if you do get off, you can then go 697 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 1: check that, and I think you'll be surprised that maybe 698 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: it's not your golf swing, it's your setup that's causing 699 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 1: some things in your golf swing. It's been a crazy 700 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I want to thank everyone for listening. 701 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep trying to get good guests and keep 702 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,919 Speaker 1: trying to give good content to help you with your 703 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 1: golf game.
