1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: It's the Son of the Bridge podcast. I am your host, 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Clon Harmon. This week's guest, Ryan Kreisler, works with me 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: here at the Floridian. I think he's one of the 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: best destructors in the game. We talk a lot about 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: golf chaos and managing the chaos of playing golf, and 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: that's what this week's pot's about. How to manage the 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: chaos of playing golf. And I think it's something that 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: we talk about a lot with our players, and it's 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: something that I think is not focused on enough the 10 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: actual playing of the game, because when you're on the 11 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: golf course, it's going to be chaotic, right. Things are 12 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: going to happen, and it's how you deal with those 13 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: situations that I think are really really important. But before 14 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: we get to that, let's hear from our friends at 15 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: Cobra Golf. The king Tech x irons define how a 16 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: game and proven iron should look and feel. Exhilarating distance 17 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: and forgiveness are achieved through an internal seventy gram tungsten 18 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: weight and haul of body construction, giving you the keys 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: to improving your game while looking like a serious player. 20 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: So I think everybody wants to try and you know, 21 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: obviously have the coolest irons blades. You know, if you're 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: a Cobra guy, you want to use the clubs that 23 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: Ricky's using, right, you want to use the clubs that 24 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: the best players in the world are using. But from 25 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: a game improvement standpoint, I think one of the cool 26 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: things is Cobra has irons that look like they are 27 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: tour quality, but they have all of the characteristics and 28 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: all of the things that are going to help you 29 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: hit the golf ball further. If you're hitting the golf 30 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: ball off the heel, if you're hitting golf ball off 31 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: the toe, if you've got a player's iron, and let's 32 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: be honest, if you've got a player's iron and you 33 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: don't hit it solid all the time, sometimes you're not 34 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: getting the most out of the irons you play. And 35 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: that's why I think the King Tech X is an iron. 36 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: If you are looking for something that has the look 37 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: of a player iron but performs and has a little 38 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: bit forgiveness, you definitely want to check it out. I 39 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: guess today is Ryan Chrysler. I've worked with Ryan for 40 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: about twenty years now. I think he's one of the 41 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: best instructors in the game. Ryan I mean, one of 42 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: the things that we're always talking about with our players 43 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: is that kind of battle between technique and execution. And 44 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: it's something I've talked about a lot on the podcast 45 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: where I think most golfers are just going to predeposed 46 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: to think of everything that happens on the golf course 47 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: to them is technical and they've got to go straight 48 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: to the driving range. And what we started to notice 49 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: with a lot of the aspiring to our players with 50 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: juniors is what's happening on the golf course isn't necessarily 51 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: a representation of what's happening on the range. And one 52 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: of the questions I mean I've been asked for twenty 53 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: years from players is how do we simulate what happens 54 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: on the golf course on the driving range? And I mean, 55 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: I just don't think people are practicing playing the game 56 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: of golf enough and everything is just golf swing and technique. 57 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. Actually, the first problem we have is the driving 58 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: range is not a golf course. It is a box 59 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: with targets that don't move on perfectly flat lies with 60 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: perfect balls, with. 61 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: A ton of balls. You hit a bad shot, there's 62 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: no consequence. You just roll one back over and you've 63 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: got an entire bucket of balls. You've got an entire 64 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: den caddy of balls, a purvan of balls. So you're right, 65 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: there's not necessarily that importance on every single ball counting 66 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: because you're working on your technique. You've got a bunch 67 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: of ball You're gonna try a bunch of stuff. But 68 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: there's a big difference between. Again, what I keep talking 69 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: about as much as I can on the podcast, the 70 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: difference between technique and execution. And I think if you 71 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: are looking to try and lower your scores, the answer, yeah, 72 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: everybody's golf swing. And I say this all the time. 73 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Everybody's golf swing can get better. Obviously having a better 74 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: technical golf swing can help you on the golf course. 75 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: But I say this to players all the time. Every 76 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: single player in the game, he's trying to improve their 77 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: golf swing. I mean, we just heard Ry Macero saying 78 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: he spent three weeks in a simulator, not looking at ballflight, 79 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: not looking at the golf ball is going, just working 80 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: on the technical. Okay, that is the ultimate example of technique, right, 81 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: put yourself in a room you're flying blind, so you're 82 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: only working on the positions of the golf swing, which 83 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: obviously have a huge impact on your scores, But there 84 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: is an art to play the game of golf, which 85 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: I think we're trying to have players focus more on. 86 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 2: That, right And like Roy is the perfect example. I mean, 87 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: no other sport you do that during the season, where 88 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: Tom Brady or a bow Knicks sit on their throwing 89 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: technique fundamentals for three straight weeks. 90 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: While the season is going right, while the season is 91 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: going you know, whatever team sport they're playing, whatever individual 92 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: sport they're playing, maybe tennis a little bit, but all 93 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: the team sports, there's no way they're going to try 94 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: and tear something apart in the middle of a season. 95 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: And I think the average golfer doesn't realize that. Every 96 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: time they go out and play it is like they 97 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: are a football team, a basketball team, a baseball team. 98 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: You know, let's say you play fifty times a year. 99 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: Let's say you pay twenty five times a year. That's 100 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: your season. Those are your games. Those are your opportunities 101 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: to play the game. They're not opportunities to go out 102 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: and practice your technique. You do that on the driving range. 103 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: So I also think that one of the things that 104 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: we've I can think tried to get players to kind 105 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: of zone in on the playing of the game should 106 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: be sacred, right, that should be the most important thing. 107 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: But I think the majority of people listening to this 108 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: podcast and are trying to work on their golf games, 109 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: they're only trying to do that on the driving range, 110 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: and they hope that, Okay, all the work that I 111 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: do on the driving range is going to somehow translate 112 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 1: to me actually playing the game better. 113 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: When you're doing that practice, it's nothing like how you play. 114 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 2: It's nothing like the penalties you'll see. It's the only 115 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: sport where practice is not on the same field. It's 116 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: literally the only sport where practice is not on the 117 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: same field. 118 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: Tennis players, when they are practicing, they are practicing on 119 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: a tennis court, right, So even if they're just warming up, 120 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: you know, with a hitting partner, there's a net the 121 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: court is to find if they're missing the court, if 122 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: they're hitting the balls out of the court, if they're 123 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: not hitting them in between the lines, if they're hitting 124 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: him into the net. That's a big problem for tennis players. 125 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: So I've never thought about that. You're right, golf is 126 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: the only real sport that's practiced on a completely different field, 127 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: basketball football, American football. They're all played and practiced on 128 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: the same surface. 129 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: And one hundred years ago, one hundred and fifty years ago, 130 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 2: these clubs put in maybe a little bit of a 131 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: practice seede just for warming up. It wasn't for practice, 132 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: it wasn't designed for practice. And now some of the 133 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: new modern clubs you're building these really extravagant practice tees. 134 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: Which are great, right, they have a massive role in 135 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: helping golfers get better, right, But it's still not quite 136 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: the same. 137 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: And so how do you practice real scenarios? And I 138 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: think we've got a good way to do here, So. 139 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: Why don't you dive in and tell like kind of 140 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: what we're trying to do with players to get them 141 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: into that play mode. I mean, you and I have 142 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: talked and I've talked about it on the pod in 143 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: the past. Tournament golfer can competitive players, but for the 144 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: average fifteen twenty five handicap, a round of golf is 145 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: it's their tournament, right, So how do you think that 146 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: players can get into that mindset of saying, Okay, I've 147 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: taken my practice, my technique practice. What tools are we 148 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: trying to give them and what tools do you think 149 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: are important in practice? That isn't technique, right, it's basically 150 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: the ability to handle duress. 151 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: Right. So the military you train under duress, right. In 152 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: football you're training under a coach helling, you under duress, 153 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: two minute offense, you know things like that, right. So 154 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: you have to create a system or a practice system 155 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: that creates duress. And the easy first step is to 156 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: maybe create a group environment or a team environment and 157 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: make sure your responsibility to complete this task. Let's say 158 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,559 Speaker 2: it's seven drives out of ten inside boundaries is done 159 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: in a group environment with a penalty. And the games 160 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: we're gonna use tomorrow is you're gonna have to run 161 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: basically a half mile if you don't complete seven out 162 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: of ten drives down our window, right, And so you 163 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: have that external pressure, you have that intrinsic motivation not 164 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: to have to run. But even if you get six 165 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: out of ten, you're gonna throw in a mile of cardio, 166 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: come back, and you're gonna do it again. And what 167 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 2: that does is really simulate your physiological response on the 168 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: golf course to your practice. And that's one of the 169 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: key things that doctor Doris talks about is we don't 170 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: practice under duress, right, So we can create these conditions, 171 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 2: these tasks that are seen maybe relatively easy. But when 172 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: you start adding heart rate, start adding accountability to the 173 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: group around you, now it starts to get interesting. And 174 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 2: now it starts to create this sense of practice being 175 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: super valuable and super close to what it is on 176 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 2: the actual course. 177 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: One of the things I think players struggle with is 178 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: they work a lot on their technique, right. They work mechanics, mechanics, mechanics, mechanics, 179 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: the drills, drills, drills. The club's getting too deep inside 180 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: if you're coming over the top of it, you're doing 181 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: drills to try and shallow it out, whatever that is. 182 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: And I think the disconnect with a lot of players 183 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: is they work NonStop on their technique and then the 184 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: test is when they go play golf, right. 185 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 2: And the test needs to be before golf. 186 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: So I always look at, you know, what we're working 187 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: on from a technique standpoint, Like if you work in 188 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: a Michelin Star restaurant, right, if they're going to come 189 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 1: up with a new dish, right, they practice it for 190 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: months and months and months, and they refine it and 191 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: they refine it, and they refine it. They just don't 192 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: come out with a brand new dish for the menu 193 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: Friday night, three hundred people in the restaurant, busiest night, 194 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: and say, Okay, hey, I've got this new dish we're 195 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: gonna putut. We're gonna put it on the menu. We've 196 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: never really tried it. I've tried it once, and we're 197 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: going to see if it works. The probability of that 198 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: tasting good being good is slim. So what they do 199 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: is they practice it, They practice it, they refine it, 200 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: then they practice making it to see if they can 201 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: make it in the right time, and then after months 202 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: of work and months of refinement, they say, okay, we 203 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: know it works in a controlled environment, right. We know 204 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: that because we've tested it, We've tested how fast we 205 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: can make it, we've tested the time element all that. 206 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: Then only then do we put it out on the 207 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: menu for people to taste in a restaurant environment. And 208 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: I think what I'm always trying to ask players to 209 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: do is listen, work your technique, work your drills. That's great, 210 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: But then in a practice type situation where you're not 211 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: working on your technique, where you're working on another task, 212 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: working on having to complete something then we're going to 213 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: see quite quickly if anything that you're working on technique 214 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: wise actually really does work. 215 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: This is not uncommon in other fields, like military units 216 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 2: don't go in a battle without a plan, all right. 217 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: Football teams don't go into the games without a game plan, 218 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 2: similar to other sports, right. And so what we're trying 219 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: to do basically is you gotta have like a battle 220 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: tested technique system way of playing before you get to 221 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: the golf course, right, And it has to be done 222 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: under duress because when you're playing, even with your buddies, 223 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: even with your friends out there, there's still a little 224 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: bit of edge, there's a NASA going on. There's something right, 225 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: and it's a little more extreme obviously when you get 226 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 2: the tournaments and junior tournaments, money craw Firescu's cool. 227 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: Trying to win your club championship, trying to win your 228 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: flight in you know, the monthly medal, trying to win 229 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, the ladies club champion. It doesn't matter what 230 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: that tournament is. The Masters is important and incredibly famous 231 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: for putting players under pressure. That's the tournament everybody wants 232 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: to win. But sometimes if you're trying to break one 233 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: hundreds for the first time. If you're trying to break 234 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: ninety eighty, trying to break power for the first time, 235 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: that is the equivalent of your major championship, right, that 236 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: is your masters You were going to feel things all 237 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: the time. When we've really started to do we call 238 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: it round defense. We get all of our competitive players, 239 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: a lot of our juniors, a lot of the people 240 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: that are trying to play, you know, on various tours 241 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: to get their tour cards. We every week have what 242 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: we call round defense. We get everybody in a team environment, 243 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: We get them in a boardroom and we put their 244 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: scorecard up on screen. We sometimes get another screen where 245 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: it has the GPS of the course, and then we 246 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: basically go through and have the players talk us through 247 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: their rounds, talk us through, Okay, the birdies you made, 248 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: but more importantly the mistakes you made. So anytime we 249 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: see kind of big numbers on the scorecard, right, doubles, 250 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: triple bogis, and then the other thing that we're constantly 251 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: looking at, which I think is a great way for 252 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: everyone else to look at their score cards. Look at 253 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: what you're doing on the par fives, and look at 254 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: what you're doing on the par threes. The par fives 255 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: or the legitimate scoring opportunities that we all have. Right, 256 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: Almost all the tour players that you see on tour, 257 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: they're killing the par fives, right, They're not losing. So 258 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: over the course of the year, the majority, if not all, 259 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: of the players on the PGA too, are under par 260 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: on the par five. So we're starting to look at 261 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: their scores and actually challenging them when they do make 262 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: a big number, when they do make a double, when 263 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: they do make a triple, say okay, talk us through 264 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: the mistake that you made. 265 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: We had round offense with Dubai a couple of weeks ago, and. 266 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: We had three kids. They're all brothers, two twins. They're 267 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: really good players. They're kind of in that thirteen to 268 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: seventeen range. They're super super competitive. They played in a tournament, 269 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 1: a big junior tournament the Tummy Fleet would put on 270 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: out in Dubai. It got Wagger rankings, It was contioned 271 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: with the AJGA, and one of the brothers won it. 272 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: But the first brother shoots sixty five the first day, right, 273 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: and that's the lowest round of golf he's ever played 274 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: in competition. Right, followed up the second day with I 275 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: think what seventy five made a couple of big numbers. 276 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: But talking to this player about what he was thinking 277 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: in the first round versus what he was thinking in 278 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: the second round was really I found interesting. And I 279 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: think you zoned in on it. You were on a 280 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: zoom call. I you're you know, connecting through zoom, but 281 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: you said sixty five. You were leading, I think he 282 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: was leading by four or five, and you said to him, 283 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: have you ever shot a score that low in a tournament? 284 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: And he said no. So that is the equivalent of 285 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: being a mountain climber and you're trying to climb Mount 286 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: Everest and you've just never been that high on the 287 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: mountain before, right, So you don't know what you're going 288 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: to do in that situation. And I think the following 289 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: day is a great example of what we see a lot. 290 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: You're going to have a good score the first day 291 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: and then the second day based off of I think expectations. 292 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: Just hanging on trying to get down the hill, right. 293 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: And one of the things we really preach is the 294 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: journey or the process. So it's like sixty five and 295 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: now what right? Seventy five? Now what right? So those 296 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: those peaks and valleys are gonna be there in golf. 297 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 2: But what do you do now? What do you do next? 298 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: And that's one of the big things we talk about 299 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: during these sessions is like, this is the first time 300 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: you've actually played a second round of a tournament with 301 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: a three or four shot lead. It's new, it's a 302 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: new tapic golf, right, you've never done this before. 303 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: You see this a lot Ryan on players that have 304 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: that really good front nine, right, They'll be maybe one 305 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: two under on the front So then the back nine 306 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: a lot of times just goes into Okay, I'm just 307 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: going to try and go into prevent defense. Now. I'm 308 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: just going to try for the next nine holes to 309 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: not make any bad swings, to not hit any bad shots, 310 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: to not mess up. And what ends up happening? 311 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: And it's up because nobody plays golf like that, right, 312 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: So it takes experience, takes practice, and we try to 313 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: assimilate those situations in our practice. 314 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: I think of the things Nico Darris, who's been on 315 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: the podcast before, Nico's big on heart rate, and one 316 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: of the things I think that we're finding is the 317 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: simulation in practice. Again on a driving range, there's no 318 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: consequences right, you're just hitting balls. You hit a bad one, 319 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: you scoop another one up. So there's there's no consequence. 320 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: Your heart rate doesn't get up, you're not, you know, 321 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: kind of in a heightened state, both physically and mentally. 322 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: And I think Nico's tapped into you know, we've started 323 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: putting heart rate monitors, you know, on players to where 324 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: we can say, okay, before you actually have to complete 325 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: this drill, this task, this kind of simulation of shots, 326 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: you have to get your heart rate up and then 327 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: you we also, I think are finding that in a 328 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: practice environment, getting the heart rates up, but then having 329 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: a task that you have to complete with outcomes, consequences 330 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: for outcomes, but in a time specific spot three minutes 331 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: five and it's whatever it is, that's what you're going 332 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: to be feeling on the golf course. 333 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 2: Golf which are real good at like finishing the bucket right, 334 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: taking a handful of balls, hitting the chips and we're done, right. 335 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 2: And so one of our concepts is you cannot move 336 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 2: on to the next task without completing the task prior, right, 337 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: and so we've got to get you hyped up. We 338 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: got to hit you seven out of ten draws seven 339 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 2: out of ten fades, whatever the situation is, and if 340 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: you don't do it, there's a penalty for it. And 341 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 2: there's also a penalty for it in the group setting. 342 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: You got some peer pressure now working against you, and 343 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 2: if you've got to run to the stops, hunt and back, 344 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 2: that's just what the task calls for. Right, that's the journey, 345 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: that's the process, And you got it used to playing 346 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: under those situations and under that duress as you move 347 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 2: through this career that you're trying to play golf in. 348 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think getting into those heightened states, both 349 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: physically and mentally is the chaos that is golf at 350 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: the competitive level. I mean Brooks Kepto's five time Major 351 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: champion John stub I think those two are very very 352 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: good on the golf course at managing the chaos. They're 353 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: very good at kind of staying in the present. They're 354 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: very good at kind of controlling their emotions. I think 355 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: Brooks is one of the best at when the pressure 356 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: gets the highest. Everyone says they love pressure, right, but 357 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: as you know, we've heard from many famous athletes, pressure 358 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: is a privilege. And the more that you can be 359 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: under pressure in your practice, the better you are. 360 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: Going to perform on the golf course. We talk about 361 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 2: it's like a saving principle. We talk about the practice 362 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: being tougher than the actual event. So we want you 363 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: to get to the tournament. If it's a junior, it's 364 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: on the weekend. If it's a pro, it's a Monday 365 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 2: or it starts Thursday. We want to practice so extreme 366 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: and so hard that the tournament feels like the fun part. 367 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: That's why they call it playing golf. You are playing 368 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: a game. They give you a scorecard, they tell you 369 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: what the rules are, they take you to a specific 370 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: field that has boundaries and obstacles stuff. But everything that 371 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: is about playing the game of golf is given to 372 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: you beforehand. So if you think about a scorecard, and 373 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: this is one of the other things that I always 374 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: say to specifically the juniors, if you look at a 375 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: scorecard on a round of golf, look at how small 376 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: the boxes are. The boxes are only big enough for 377 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: you to put a score down. But when you make 378 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: a big number, when you make a double bogie, when 379 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: you make a triple bogie, there is this long drawn 380 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: out narrative, almost novel type story. Every time we question 381 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: one of the players that's made a big number. There's 382 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: always this big, long, drawn out, you know, story as 383 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: to how they made the double. And one of the 384 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: things that I always say to them, so they go 385 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: through this whole thing and they, you know, Okay, so 386 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: I'm standing on the tee and I hit one, and 387 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: then I hit it in the water. So then the 388 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: drop I get goes into a hole, and then I 389 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: tried to go for the green, but then it clipped 390 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: the tree, and then it hit a sprinkler head, and 391 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: then it kicked out. About there's this big, long narrative, 392 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: and I, you and I we will sit in these 393 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: conference room and listen to these people talk about this, 394 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: and at the end of it, I'll just say, nobody cares. 395 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: Nobody cares how you made the double. Try to stop 396 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: making doubles and triples. Look at the decision making process 397 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: that is called it. Why do you think golfers when 398 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: they do get out of position, Ryan, why do you 399 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: think they become so aggressive with their shot selection. So 400 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: you've hooked to drive into the trees, and now you know, 401 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: let's say you're one hundred and you know, sixty five 402 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: yards out, you've got some treat trouble you're in the rough. 403 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: The li's not good, it's not a flat lie. Almost 404 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: all the time players just go, okay, I just push 405 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: all my chips into the middle of the table, and 406 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: I just go all in on this shot. 407 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,239 Speaker 2: There's a couple of different factors to this. Number One, 408 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: they watch too much golf on TV, right, so they 409 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: see the best players hitting the best shots even in 410 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: recovery situations. Number Two, they are eternally optimistic that they 411 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 2: can actually do this despite never having hit a finesse 412 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 2: practice three wood from two point fifty, which is one 413 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 2: of the Dubai kids talked about. He's like, dropped it 414 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: hitting three. Now he's gonna try to finesse it. Yeah. 415 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: So one of the kids that we were teaching, so 416 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: the Race for Dubai Tournament, which will be on TV 417 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: this weekend from Jamier Golf, estates the eighteenth poles a 418 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: hard five. There's a creek that kind of goes right 419 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: down the middle. He hid it in the water off 420 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: the tee. Then he dropped it and he said, you know, 421 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: the lie was a little bit still in the middle 422 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: of the you know, in the fairway, but all a 423 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: little bit below his feet. There's you know, a bunch 424 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: of stuff around the greens. So he said, you know, 425 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: it was kind of in between like three wood and 426 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: five wood or something like that. So he tries to 427 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: finesse kind of three finger a high cut soft three 428 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: wood from two fifty to a front pin with not 429 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: a lot of landing era. I mean, he's just rinse 430 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: one in the water. So now he's going to again. 431 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: Now he's pushing all of his chips into the middle 432 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: of the table and basically, for lack of a better word, 433 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: just as fuck it. I Am just going all in here, 434 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: and there's no thought process of what happens after that 435 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: shot if he doesn't. 436 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 2: Pull it off. And we see this sometimes like in football, 437 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: the quarterback just thrown it up right. But the real 438 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: problem is that that's just how golfers have been trained 439 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 2: and how they've been brought up. They practice until they 440 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,239 Speaker 2: get it right. When you go to other organizations New 441 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 2: England Patriots, the military, the army specifically, those units practice 442 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: until they can't get it wrong, and so they're out 443 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: there until it becomes automatic. 444 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: I think that's a huge thing for everyone that you 445 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: just said. There, everyone thinks I'm going to practice until 446 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: it's perfect, but the best practice until they can't get 447 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: it wrong. The other thing I think Ryan that we 448 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: see is we see players go to the golf. 449 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 2: Course and. 450 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: They don't expect anything bad to happen, regardless of their 451 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: handicap range. Right. They think that the lies are always 452 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: going to be perfect, they think the conditions are always 453 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: going to be perfect. They think everything is going to 454 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: be perfect. I mean there are times where players will 455 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: come off and they'll shoot kind of even one over, 456 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: you know, tour players, and you'll talk to the caddies 457 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: and they'll say, listen, every single club today was in between, right. 458 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: We didn't have one good number. We were constantly in 459 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: between seven and eight. We were constantly in between five 460 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: and four, and that constant battle. We just we just 461 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: struggle to get some decent numbers. And I think when 462 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: that happens to normal regular golfers, it's almost like they 463 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: don't prepare for the worst. They're only preparing for the best. 464 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: Every club they choose, whatever yardage it is, most people 465 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: will choose a club that they say, all right, if 466 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: I flush this right in the middle of the club, 467 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: face hit the best seven iron I've ever hit. That 468 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: seven iron is going. 469 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: To carry the distance that I need to carry it 470 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 2: for this flag, right, And maybe it happens in practice 471 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: six out of ten times, but on the course in 472 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: reality maybe it's three out of ten times. Right. So 473 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: the data just doesn't support the decision making because they're 474 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 2: eternally optimistic. 475 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I've said this on the pot before. Richard 476 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: Bland came in last year and spent some time with 477 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: some of our players that are trying to compete, and 478 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: he said, listen, if you get into trouble, and I've 479 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: said this before, but I'll say it again, it's very, 480 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: very impactful and very powerful if you get into trouble 481 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: and you are going to try and hit some sort 482 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: of recovery shot to get to the green. Richard Bland said, Listen, 483 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: I always say to myself, Okay, if I had ten 484 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: balls from this situation, could I get five of them 485 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: on the green. If I can't get five on the 486 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: green from this, I'm probably going to struggle with one. 487 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: So the decision making process of a player that he 488 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: gets in trouble off the tee needs to be what getting. 489 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: Trouble off the tee needs to be? Basically, what club 490 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 2: do I have in my bag today that is actually working, 491 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 2: so I can get it into the fairway since penalty 492 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 2: shots are the number one reason why score start high. 493 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 2: And it's a domino, right, So we put ourselves on 494 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 2: a defensive because we're taking driver, because maybe the people 495 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 2: in the group are taking driver and it's either block right, 496 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 2: block left, whatever, and we just have to let it 497 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: go and move on to the next club or the 498 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 2: next shot right, and being able to take a moment, 499 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 2: take a pause and make that decision is going to 500 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 2: save you shots throughout the rest of the round. 501 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: In the military, they call that a tactical pause. So 502 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: explain what that is. 503 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, quite simply, it's taking a knee when you're undercover, 504 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: right and trying to reassess the plan of action and 505 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: our advisors, an army ranger just gave us a simple mission. Example. 506 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 2: When we're going on a mission to eliminate or arrest 507 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 2: to terrorists and there's a sniper in a building that 508 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 2: we didn't account for. Most military units will go after 509 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 2: the sniper because you know, the man next to me 510 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 2: got shot, right. The rangers will back up, reposition, take cover, 511 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 2: and create a new plan to get to the mission right. 512 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: And if they take out the sniper on the way over. 513 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 2: It's really not even a factor. They're trying to get 514 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 2: around that and go back to focusing on the mission, 515 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 2: which in golf basically is how can I make power 516 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 2: in this next hole? Right? And when you're trying to 517 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 2: either outplay the competition, meaning you're trying to hit driver 518 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 2: because they hit driver, or you're trying to hit a 519 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 2: shot that's close that's not your shot shape because your 520 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 2: buddy just hit the same shot and just flagged it, 521 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 2: or hit club that you know on a par three 522 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 2: to where you know you can't hit the golf ball 523 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 2: get it on the pin. If the you know, one 524 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 2: seventy five and your your your playing partner pulls out 525 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 2: you know, eight iron, right, you pull out eight iron, 526 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 2: you probably know that you're not going to hit it 527 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty five, but you do it anyway. 528 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: Right. 529 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: So it's like that that shot that doctor Joe Parent 530 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 2: talks about in Zen Golf. You just do it anyway. 531 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Like no other sport organization or even you 532 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: in a business setting are just going to do something 533 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: because of I'm just going to do this anyway. Right. 534 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: One of the things I find amazing. When we're in 535 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 1: round defense is when players will hit bad shots, bad drives, 536 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: and a lot of times I record it. And I 537 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: remember one specifically with a young player, you know, kid 538 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: that played Division one color golf. He was trying to play, 539 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: he is trying to play a minor league, mini tour 540 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: event down here, you know, professional, and he said, okay, 541 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: so I hit my driver out of bounds, and then 542 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: I went back and reteat it, and I knew it 543 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,239 Speaker 1: was the wrong play, but I reteat driver and then 544 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: hit that one over and and I actually stopped and 545 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: played the recording. I said, you actually said you knew 546 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: it was the wrong play, the wrong decision, but you 547 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: did it anyway. That makes absolutely no sense. 548 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: It's it's freaking crazy. I mean, come on, right, no 549 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: other sport, business, setting, whatever, would ever do something like that. 550 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 2: But here we are in golf, just flying by our 551 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 2: ass and here we go, We're just gonna do it. 552 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: What are some tools for everyone listening? Listen, we're doing 553 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff in a team environment. You know, 554 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: we're having them. You know, the consequences are push ups, 555 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: running stuff in the gym. Right for the average person listening, 556 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: that's not part of a group that's just doing it 557 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: by themselves. What are some things that they can do? 558 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: Give me some drills that and some games that they 559 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: could play, and some consequences that they could implement for themselves. 560 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: Number one, my favorite one is to go play in 561 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: your Saturday morning group with one ball, and now see 562 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 2: how you feel you're going to have to make decisions 563 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 2: because number one, if you run out of balls and 564 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: it's going to be pretty embarrassing you've only got one, 565 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 2: you can keep it a secret amongst the group, or 566 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: you can tell everybody. 567 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: But we do that a couple of times a month. 568 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: You know. 569 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: We will get our players that we work with, we'll 570 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: get them in a group setting, and the task is 571 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: they go out and play on the golf course. They 572 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: have one ball in their back right and the winner 573 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: and the goal is to see who can play the 574 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: most amount of holes with one ball, which means you 575 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: hit it out of bounds, you're done, You hit it 576 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: in the water, you're done, you lose one, you're done. 577 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: So the object isn't the score that you're making. The 578 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: object is to just keep going as long as you 579 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: can with one golf ball. The decisions that you have 580 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: to make if you get into trouble. If there is 581 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: trouble out of bounds, water and stuff, the one ball 582 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: that you've got, you will make much different decisions then 583 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: if you've just got one in your back pocket and 584 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: you rinse one in the water and then you just 585 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: throw another one down. 586 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: And the other way we do it, basically is this 587 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: coming up with tax and tasks are basically hitting a 588 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: certain amount of balls that achieves some sort of objective. 589 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: So if it's a wedge shot from one hundred yards 590 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 2: and you have a definable green on your practice tea, 591 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 2: or maybe just boundaries that you can visualize on the 592 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 2: practice tee, if you were to get five out of five, 593 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: that'd be a great wedge practice. Let's say, now let's 594 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 2: raise the stakes, let's take it. You know, maybe there's 595 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 2: a tighter boundary, so whether it's trees or clouds or bunkers, 596 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 2: and let's say if you don't make the objective five 597 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 2: out of five, then you're not allowed to use that 598 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 2: club for the round. Right, So the club gets ejected, 599 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 2: it's not approoved for play because it doesn't meet the 600 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 2: criteria required to play. Right. You can do that with 601 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 2: wedges you can do that with irons, you can that 602 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 2: with driver, just creating these imaginary boundaries that they're not 603 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: defined on the practice team and just making sure that 604 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: if they don't complete the test, they don't make the game. Right, 605 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 2: So you go into the game with six clubs in 606 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: the bag. Seven clubs in the bag, and now we 607 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 2: have to play the course with a limited arsenal to 608 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 2: what we have. 609 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you also have to learn if you don't 610 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: have your lot weedge ne'ar in a bunker and you 611 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: only have it at a nine iron, right, You've got 612 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: to learn how to get out of difficulty. With different 613 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: golf clubs. I think everybody has their kind of go 614 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: to golf clubs around the greens. Everybody kind of has 615 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: their go to golf clubs when they practice, and I 616 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: think what we try and do is get players out 617 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: of that comfort zone and say, okay, I know that's 618 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, I know you would never play the shot. 619 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: I did this a couple of weeks ago when I 620 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: was in Dubai. There were two young juniors and we 621 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: were going over and we're going to work on their wedges. 622 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: And one of the players and these were young players, 623 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean the twelve thirteen, fourteen years old. Well, one 624 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: of them said, I said, okay, so what do you 625 00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: want to try and work on? He said, well, I 626 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: want to take spin and speed off of my wedges. 627 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, if somebody told you to say that, 628 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: But they said okay. So I gave them targets and said, okay. 629 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: We had like a wedge distance that was like sixty yards, 630 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: and what's the first club they pull out of their 631 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: back lob wedge right, immediately go to lob wedge, and 632 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: now they're going to try and take speed and spin off. 633 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: So they're going to start to swing slower and the 634 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: lob wedge is going to go no distance. By the 635 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: time we finished, we were hitting pitching wedges and nine 636 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: irons from sixty yards, flighting them down, controlling the length 637 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: of the backswing, controlling the length of the follow through. 638 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: And I think they were blown away that how they 639 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: eventually got to taking some speed off of their wedges 640 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: was very different than what they thought it was going 641 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: to be. They thought it was just going to be 642 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: trying to master the lob wedge. So then what we 643 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: ended up doing is we worked on trying to take 644 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: some spin and some speed off with a pitching wedge 645 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: from six yards. By the time we give them a sixty, 646 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: they don't even want to hit the sixty right. They're saying, no, no, 647 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: I'll just chip flight my fifty four right or my 648 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: sand wedge is supposed to using my lob wedge. And 649 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: once we started moving to different targets, it was very 650 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: interesting that the clubs that they would normally pick they didn't. 651 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: Their dibbots got better. They understood, you know what the 652 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: length of the backswing and the follow through is. By 653 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: just using a different tool than they're used. 654 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 2: To use, you're basically taking the technique request out of 655 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 2: the player and putting them into a place where they 656 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: have to solve problems. That is basically what happens on 657 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 2: the golf course. You got to solve the problem with 658 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 2: the first te get to the first fairway, get to 659 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 2: the first green. It's basically problem solving. 660 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean you can make You can snaphook your drive, 661 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: hit it behind a tree, right, chip out, and then 662 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: hold a bunker shot and the score you write down 663 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: looks very different than if you pipeoin down the middle 664 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: of the fairy pipeline to fifteen feet and put it 665 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: in so you know, my dad used to always tell it. 666 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: There's no points. You don't get any points for style 667 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 1: in golf, right, It's it's not a style competition. So 668 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: when we're trying to have players in these tasks and 669 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: in these drills, there's no right answer. The only right 670 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: answer is can you achieve the task? Can you win 671 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: the game that you're trying to play? Can you figure 672 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: out how to solve the problem? That is one thing 673 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: that I say that I probably said more to the 674 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: juniors when I was in Dubai a couple of weeks ago. Listen, 675 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: this is a problem that we have to solve, right, 676 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: So the game has given you a problem that you've 677 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: got to solve. 678 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 2: Problem solving is a great learning environment because you're not 679 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 2: focused either working as a team or as a pairt. 680 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 1: Force. 681 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 2: In's a alternate shot. Let's say you're also focused on 682 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 2: an external solution to the problem, basically versus the internal 683 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 2: is my swing care? Am I doing something incorrect? Am 684 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 2: I doing what I'm supposed to be doing with my grip? Whatever? 685 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 2: All that internal intrinsic technique questions disappear when I'm faced 686 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: with I actually got to solve this with whatever tools 687 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 2: and whatever I have in myself that day. 688 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 1: I think most great athletes, yes, they love the hard work, 689 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: they love the practice. But I think so many golfers 690 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: feel so much more comfortable and confident on the driving 691 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: range than they do on the golf course. It's a 692 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: little bit like they're sailing. They're great at sailing in 693 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: the harbor. They're great at sailing, you know, not in 694 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: the big, big ocean. But then the only thing that 695 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: matters is, Okay, it's great if you can sail in 696 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: a control environment, but can you actually really sail when 697 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: it matters. I think a lot of you know about 698 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,760 Speaker 1: playing golf on the golf course like pilots, Right, everything's 699 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: fine when the autopilot's on thirty five thousand feet and 700 00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: the seat belt signs off and the flights. The skill 701 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: is a pilot is when something goes wrong. 702 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 2: I was thinking, just Michael Jordan, you know, his practices 703 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 2: were like the worst to be around on his team 704 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 2: with the Bulls. Nobody really enjoyed his intensity. They appreciated it, 705 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: and by the time they got to the game they 706 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 2: could see why. Right, And so golfers, golfers show up 707 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 2: for practice and it's like, man, it's such a great day, 708 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna hit this bucket of balls. I'm not sure 709 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 2: I'm gonna work on. Oh, I'm gonna turn around and 710 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 2: hit some pitch shots over here. Nothing like how you play, 711 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 2: nothing with how you play. And it's just a systemic 712 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 2: infrastructure problem with golf. I believe. 713 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: I think you want to get more comfortable as a 714 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: golfer on the field that you're playing on the golf course, 715 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: then that comfort of going back to drivers. A lot 716 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 1: of times DJ or a player that I'm working with, 717 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 1: if they don't play good, I'll sometimes say to DJ, 718 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, has a round where you know, hitting the 719 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: water on a par five double shoots you know, one 720 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 1: or two over. And I'll say, hey, do you want 721 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: to go hit balls? And he'll say, no, I'm good. 722 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: I made one bad swing today, I know what I'm 723 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: supposed to do. I'm hitting it good. I had a 724 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: lot of good chances and stuff like that. So he 725 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 1: doesn't want to immediately go to the range. So many 726 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: of the junior golfers that we work with, they want 727 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: to spend they want to practice for four hours before 728 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: they go play golf, and then as soon as they 729 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: get done. Whatever happened on the golf course. There's no 730 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: analysis of what happened on the golf course. It's just 731 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: let me go back to the driving range. Because everything 732 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 1: that happened on the golf course today was my technique. 733 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: I just need to practice, work on my back swing, 734 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: work on my club base, work on this. And I 735 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: also think it's important for players to build in play 736 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,280 Speaker 1: days and practice days. Right days where you don't practice, 737 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: you do a warm up maybe twenty thirty minutes max. 738 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 1: It's not a practice sition. Then you go play golf. 739 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: When you're done, you don't go to the driving range. 740 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: You take stock, you analyze so that when you go 741 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: back to the driving range, the range should be a 742 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: place where you look at what you're doing on the 743 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: golf course and then try and use the practice range 744 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,720 Speaker 1: and use your practice to try and fix what's happening 745 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: on the golf course when you're playing, not to just 746 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: have your golf swing look prettier on video. 747 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 2: Let the practice tee be its own practice tee, and 748 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 2: you have to come into that practice tee armed with 749 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 2: the plan, armed with a set of tasks or items 750 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 2: you have to complete before you move on essentially right, 751 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 2: the only to practice, dictate how you're going to practice that. 752 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: Day, having a plan when you practice. It doesn't have 753 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: to be super involved, but say, okay, listen, when I 754 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,959 Speaker 1: played the other day, you know my wedge game wasn't great, 755 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: my ability to control my shape wasn't great, my driving 756 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: wasn't engaged. So then you're not just going to the 757 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: practice range and getting exercise right, you're actually practicing specifically 758 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: with the purpose. I think game building and task building 759 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 1: in your in your practice sessions is huge. I mean, 760 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: most ranges are going to have visual things on the 761 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: golf course that you can use to try and work 762 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: on your scoring. So give yourself. Say you know a 763 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: good one that I like to do on the drivers, 764 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: Say okay, let's go pick out a fairway on the 765 00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 1: driving range. Right, you know, two pins, two targets, one left, 766 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: one right. You've got to hit a drive in that, okay. 767 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: Then pick out a green and say, okay, whatever the 768 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: yardage is, I've just got to hit the ball anywhere 769 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 1: on this green. Right. Then go make a five foot 770 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,479 Speaker 1: pot right, so you're moving right. So there's a test. 771 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: So there's three points available, four points available. Whatever each 772 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 1: round you go through, think about how many points you 773 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 1: get a point if you hit the fairway with your driver, 774 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 1: you get a point if you've hit it on the green, 775 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: and then you get a point if you make the 776 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: five footer exactly. 777 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 2: Those are tasks you can wait the task you move on. 778 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: You're not thinking about your technique while you're doing this. 779 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,720 Speaker 1: You're in your preshot routine. You're in your pre shot 780 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: you know whatever that is, treating each shot like it 781 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 1: would be on the golf course. Then do three, four 782 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: or five rounds of that. Evaluate what the issue you're 783 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: having is right, is it quality of contact? Is it 784 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 1: you know, too much CURRCT. Then get out of that mode, 785 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: go into a practice environment and say, okay, let me 786 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: work my technique, work my drills, work my fields to 787 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 1: try and do this. Now let me get back into 788 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 1: test mode to see if anything that I'm working on 789 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,320 Speaker 1: is actually really working. 790 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 2: Right. I kind of like if we had like sixty minutes, 791 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 2: we're gonna have maybe thirty five minutes of task going 792 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 2: in and problem solving the quick reevaluation where we're at, 793 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 2: and you maybe have ten minutes to solve it before 794 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,439 Speaker 2: you move on to the next task, Right, so there's 795 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 2: a structure, there is a clock if you will, there's 796 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 2: pure pressure if you will in a group. 797 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 1: Environment, but also holding yourself accountable, holding yourself accountable for 798 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 1: you know, go to the short game area and say, okay, 799 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: let me chip this, and wherever I chip it, I 800 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: have to then make the pott to see if I 801 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: can get up and down. I've got ten balls. How 802 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: many of those was I able to get up and down? Right? 803 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,399 Speaker 1: So there's a consequence, right, So you feel like, okay, 804 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 1: I've got ten up and downs. I've got to get 805 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: up and down around these greens, right, and I've got 806 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: to chip it, and then I have to go and 807 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: try and make the putt for par. The more times 808 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: you're trying to make putts for par under pressure under 809 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: a game type environment where there is a consequence to 810 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: missing it, I think is another way that you can 811 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,799 Speaker 1: simulate what you're doing on the golf course. 812 00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 2: You're moving around trying to solve these situations. Instead of 813 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 2: just hitting thirty chips in a row at one target, 814 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 2: even maybe a couple of targets. You're moving around. You're 815 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:54,919 Speaker 2: simulating play. It's not technique, it's solving the shot at hand. 816 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 2: And moving on and creating some sort of consequence. I 817 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 2: love having the clubs not make it to the game, 818 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,800 Speaker 2: not make it in the bag, to the course, forcing 819 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 2: you to really adapt on the course. That's where I 820 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 2: think is another big macro problem with golfers just don't 821 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,440 Speaker 2: adapt to what they have that day, to what they 822 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 2: have on the first tee. They just don't adapt, and 823 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 2: they just are eternally optimistic. 824 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: And I also think, like you said, everybody wants to 825 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 1: play golf the way Scotti Scheffler plays golf driver off 826 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: the tee, you know, wedge fifteen feet stuff like that. Sometimes, Okay, 827 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: maybe driver isn't the right play for you, Maybe you 828 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: need to hit an iron off the team. Maybe, you know, 829 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,720 Speaker 1: if you're a higher handicap, start playing the par fours 830 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 1: as three shot holes, right, get something and play off 831 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,760 Speaker 1: the tee. Then hit an iron that gives you a wedshot, 832 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,399 Speaker 1: then chip it on and then that's an easy way. 833 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: I think if you are someone that's making big, big numbers, right, 834 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: and big numbers are you know, ruining your score and 835 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: you're struggling to kind of get down from that kind 836 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: of one hundred, break hundred for the first time, break 837 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 1: ninety for the first time. There isn't a specific way 838 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: to play each hole, right, There really isn't. So like 839 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: I said, you could hit five iron wedge, make the putt, 840 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: and that writes down as a four. Where someone could 841 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: hit driver, wedge, hit it to five feet, lip it 842 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: out and the score is the same. 843 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,320 Speaker 2: Right, There's an infinant number of ways to make a 844 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 2: part and whatever you have that day is what you 845 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 2: have that day. Right, So being able to adjust, be 846 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:32,879 Speaker 2: honest and focus on just solving the problem without any 847 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 2: emotional toll or optimism and bottle the optimism into at 848 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 2: the end of the round. Right, if you go out 849 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 2: and stay calm, stay smooth, not too many ups and downs. Right. 850 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: I talked to Jason Duffer recently about and I was 851 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: talking to him and I said, you know, he's a 852 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 1: major champion, played on Ryder Cops, President's got multiple winner 853 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, you know, long career. I said 854 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: to him, what are some of the attributes you have 855 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 1: to have to be a great player? And it's like, 856 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: you know, I think acceptance is a big part of this, right, 857 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 1: Accepting that, Okay, this is the situation I'm in, this 858 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 1: is the shot I've just hit, accepting now this is 859 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 1: what my options are. Right. Yeah, I can go through 860 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 1: the trees and stuff, but that's that's bringing in a 861 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: lot of danger. Can hit a tree, could go in 862 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: the water, it could go out of bounce. So accepting that, okay, 863 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,520 Speaker 1: this is where I am, and accepting that I might 864 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: have to chip out backwards or chip out sideways, and 865 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,439 Speaker 1: maybe I won't be able to get to the green. 866 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 1: But what I'm not going to do is compound the problem. 867 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to accept that, Okay, I made a mistake, 868 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: and I'm going to do my best to try and 869 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: not compound the mistake that I just mad. 870 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 2: That's our concept of offensive and defensive golf. You hit 871 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 2: your driver behind a tree, you're on the defense for 872 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:47,919 Speaker 2: the next shot. 873 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,720 Speaker 1: But everyone goes on offense. 874 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 2: Right. This is when we hand the ball off and 875 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 2: go ahead and hunt on fourth down right, and until 876 00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 2: we're back in the fairway, then we have an opportunity 877 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,799 Speaker 2: to get back on the game plan, get back on plan, 878 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 2: get back on the green. So a lot of golfers 879 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 2: tend to go into the trees or bunkers, and they 880 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,479 Speaker 2: think offense is the best strategy. They throughout the hail Mary, 881 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 2: they run the thirty yard out when quite simply, all 882 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 2: you have to do is hand it off, hitch it out, 883 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 2: move on to put yourself at one hundred yards, get 884 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 2: the wedge on the green to put. Now it's a 885 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 2: bogie instead of triple or worse. 886 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 1: I think that if you can just say to yourself, listen, 887 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,000 Speaker 1: if I get in trouble off the tee, the worst 888 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to make here is bogy, right. But what 889 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,480 Speaker 1: I'm going to do is get this somehow on the green. 890 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: And no matter what length of pott I've got, if 891 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,319 Speaker 1: I have a putt for par if it's from forty feet, 892 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 1: I've got a pot for far, you can make a 893 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 1: forty footer right. It's hard to hold bunker shots. It's 894 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: hard to have all these incredible, you know, fantastic rescue 895 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: shots that we see players on TV make and just 896 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: accept that, Okay, I'm in trouble, I'm going to get 897 00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: out of trouble and I'm now The worst I'm going 898 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,880 Speaker 1: to make here is bogie right. 899 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 2: Part five, five hundred and fifty yards. Driver in the water. 900 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 2: You can dink a five iron from three p fifty 901 00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,919 Speaker 2: out two times that say one hundred and eighty yards 902 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 2: each time and still be in decent position to have 903 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:19,280 Speaker 2: a chance for a bogie. 904 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: Rian, we could talk all all day on this stuff. 905 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna do another one in a couple of weeks 906 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: where we actually go through some of the games and 907 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 1: the tasks that we have, and I think everyone listening, 908 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:31,839 Speaker 1: I mean, there are some things that you'll be able 909 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: to take to your game and to your practice. But 910 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: you know, our goal is to help players play the 911 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,839 Speaker 1: game of golf better. Our goal is not to try 912 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: and help people practice the game better, swing better, right, Listen. 913 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,719 Speaker 1: Technique is a huge part of this, right, but just 914 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: remember Ry McElroy, Scottie Scheffler, John Rahm, Nellie Cordo, Lydia Co, 915 00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 1: Padrick Harrington, Ernie, all of the best players in the 916 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: world world across all of the various tours, they're all 917 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:07,720 Speaker 1: trying to improve their technique. But where you can become 918 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: a better golfer is to get better at playing the 919 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 1: game of golf and learning how to play on the 920 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 1: golf course. 921 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,480 Speaker 2: Als perfectly said, right, I'm being able to adapt and 922 00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 2: play on the golf course. 923 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: So some great stuff that can help you with your 924 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 1: game from Ryan Cressler there and golf it's game. There 925 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: will be things that happen, and there will be things 926 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,200 Speaker 1: that are kind of chaotic, and how you handle those 927 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: and how you handle the situations that happen when you're 928 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 1: out on the golf course, not with what's going on 929 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,360 Speaker 1: in your practice on the driving range, but what is 930 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:46,360 Speaker 1: happening when you are out on the golf course, I 931 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 1: think is the most important thing that you can focus on. 932 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to improve their technique, but the way you 933 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 1: play the game and how you play the game and 934 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 1: the decisions you make on the golf course and have 935 00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: a massive effect on your scores and your handicap.
