1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: It's the Son of a Bitch podcast. I'm your host, 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: Claude harmon a solo episode of the pod this week, 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: and I thought i'd kind of go over some stuff. 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: I just I'm actually in Dubai at my academy, which 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: is always fun. It's over here the other night, but 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: I spoke at the Titleist Performance Institute World Golf Fitness 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: Summit on Friday, kind of did a presentation, but wanted 8 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: to go through one of the things that I talked about, 9 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: which was kind of my checklist when I'm giving golf 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: lessons right what I'm looking for and how I look 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: at golf swings, and I think by doing this, I 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: think it can help you think about your own golf 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: swing and your own golf game. So the first thing 14 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: I do when a player comes in and I watch 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: a player hit at golf balls, I always think, what 16 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: is that player's DNA or their kind of swing signature. 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: And I think, player, regardless of your handicap, you will 18 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: have something that is kind of your DNA, kind of 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: the way that you swing the golf club. And I 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: think a lot of times this is why players struggle 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: over years of and they tend to struggle when they don't, 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: when they don't get regular golf lessons and they're not 23 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: working on something, they're just trying a bunch of stuff, 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: but they don't really fundamentally understand kind of what it 25 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: is that they do. So when I look at a 26 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: golf swing and I look at a player, I'll always 27 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: ask a couple of things. But one of the things 28 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: I'll ask is tell me what you're trying to do 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: in the golf swing, and tell me why you're trying 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: to do this in the golf swing. And that sounds 31 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: and should be a pretty simple question and should be 32 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: a pretty simple answer. But I think a lot of 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: players they don't really know what they're trying to do. 34 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: They struggle with the concept of what they're trying to do. 35 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,279 Speaker 1: But also, and I've talked about this on the pod before, 36 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: they don't understand what their body can do as well. 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 1: So when I look at a player, I'm trying to 38 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: figure out, Okay, what does that player do naturally. And 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 1: one of the things that my dad talked a lot 40 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: about when I was a young instructor, he said, listen, 41 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: I don't ever want to take away what a player 42 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: does naturally. And I think a lot of times for 43 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: the instructors out there listening. You can have a model 44 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: in your head maybe right, I'm not a huge fan 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: of that, but you can have a model in your 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: head about how you want everyone to swing the golf club. 47 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: The only problem with that is you might be taking 48 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: away what a player does naturally, and what they do 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: naturally could be a huge part of what makes them 50 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: who they are. So I'm always looking at a player. 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: Does a player have a tremendous amount of speed? Does 52 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: a player not have a lot of so I kind 53 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: of work. I'll give you an example. So there's two 54 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: players I work with who have a tremendous amount of speed. 55 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: Brooks and DJ on the men's side have a tremendous 56 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: amount of speed. I work with a player on the 57 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: LPGA Tour named Marina Alex. She played on the Solheim Cup. 58 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: She's a multiple winner on the LPGA Tour. Marina doesn't 59 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: have a lot of speed, right, Marina's back is a 60 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: little bit compromised. She's had some back issues. So there 61 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: are a lot of things that Marina does naturally that 62 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, physically I can't change, even though I might 63 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: not like them. It's just she does certain things in 64 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: the golf swing. Her body has some limitations, so there 65 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: are some things that she does that are just part 66 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: of her golf swing and if I try and change those. 67 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously everybody is trying to hit the golf 68 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: ball further, but on the LPGA Tour, distance is a 69 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: it's a differentiator. So the obvious thing in watching Marina 70 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: hit GoF balls is to say, Okay, she needs hit 71 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: the golf ball further. So there are loads of different things, now, 72 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: speed sticks, stacked, all of these different things that we 73 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: could do to try and help Marina hit the golf 74 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: ball further. We do all those things, her back's gonna 75 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: go down, it's gonna crash. So I have to take 76 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: a look at what she does physically. I have to 77 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: take a look at what she does naturally. Dustin Johnson's 78 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: another great example. The position he gets into at the 79 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: top of his backswing with that flat left wrist. That 80 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: is what he does naturally that he doesn't know why 81 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: he does that. He's never been taught to do that, 82 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: that's just what he does in the golf swing. So 83 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: years ago, probably I don't know, fifteen twenty years ago, 84 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: when my dad started working with DJ. Phil Michelson said, Hey, 85 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: I play a lot of golf with DJ. Has been 86 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: my partner in the money game. I want you to 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: take a look at him. My dad was working with Phil, 88 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: and I think everybody looked at DJ's golf swing when 89 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: he turned pro, looked at that position at the top 90 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: of the back swing. Nobody was really playing from that position. 91 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: Maybe back in the day Paul Aigsner from there, but 92 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: certainly nobody with a tremendous amount of speed. So I 93 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: think in looking at his goal swing, my dad looked 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: at that left risk position and was like, listen, that's 95 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: what DJ does. Naturally. I'm not training him to do that. 96 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm not teaching him to do that. That's what he does. 97 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: It's a risk position in twenty twenty four that I 98 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are trying to get into it. 99 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: It's Brooks is a little bit on the shut side. 100 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: DJ is a little bit on the shut side. We 101 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: are seeing more players play from that position. But that's 102 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: what DJ does naturally. No one's teaching him to do that. 103 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: The other thing I'm always looking at with a player 104 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 1: is I'm asking as say, Okay, what does this player 105 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: need do they need speed, do they need accuracy? Do 106 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: they need consistency? There will be something that the player needs, 107 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: so I'm always saying, Okay, do they need to hit it? 108 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: So again, using Marine Alex is an example, and I've 109 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: had her on the pod as well. Marina needs speed. 110 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: The problem is we have to work around that given 111 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: what her body can do physically. So I'm always trying 112 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: to balance that between what a player wants to do 113 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: versus what a player does and what a player can do. 114 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes I think players just it's a concept issue. They 115 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: don't know they're supposed to be doing this. They don't 116 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: know they're not supposed to be doing this. So that's 117 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: why that first question, Hey, tell me what you do 118 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: in the golf swing, what you're trying to do in 119 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 1: the golf swing. Sometimes they'll just be a concept problem. Listen, 120 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: you don't know you're not supposed to do that, or 121 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: you don't know you're supposed to do this. Sometimes it'll 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: be a body issue. So the physical screen, getting screen 123 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: to understand what your body can and can't do naturally, 124 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: I think is huge. I'm always asking myself how much 125 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: is too much? Meaning I think it's important as an 126 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: instructure to understand the type of learner a person is, 127 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: and I learn a lot by asking questions about, Hey, 128 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: what do you do for a living? Listen, if you 129 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: work with somebody that says, oh, I'm an engineer, you 130 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: can probably give them a bunch of data and it's 131 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: not going to confuse them because that's the world they 132 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: live in. But if somebody doesn't have a brain like that, 133 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: and you overload them with tons of launch monitor data 134 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: or a bunch of information and a bunch of numbers, 135 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: and they don't learn like that. I've worked with two 136 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: players that are on opposite ends of the spectrum, so 137 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: Trevor Immerman. When I worked with Trevor in the early 138 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: two thousands, I couldn't give Trevor enough information, right, That's 139 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: the way his brain worked. He wanted as much information 140 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: as possible. DJ wants things to be pretty simple. His 141 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: brain just isn't wired like that, is not wired to 142 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: get a bunch of information. He wants things to be simple. Trevor, 143 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: on the other hand, wanted I wouldn't say Trevor wanted 144 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: things to be complicated in the years that I worked 145 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: with him, but Trevor wanted more information. I mean you 146 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: could give I mean information for Trevor was crack for 147 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,119 Speaker 1: the crack addict. Just give me more, more, more, more more. 148 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily think at times that was the 149 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: best thing for him and his career. If I tried 150 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: to overload DJ with a bunch of information and a 151 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: bunch of numbers and data and stuff like that, It's 152 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: just not the way his brain works. So with regards 153 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: to the player, I'm always asking myself, Okay, how much 154 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: is too much? How much is too little. The other 155 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: thing I'm really trying to do when I look at 156 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: golf swings is as an instructor. If I'm working with 157 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: the player, I want to try and help them build 158 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: the golf swing that is going to hold up under pressure. 159 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: For the tour players that I'm incredibly lucky enough to 160 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: work with, that is the back nine on Sunday right, 161 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: that is coming down the stretch in a major, that 162 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: is trying to win a tournament on a tour somewhere 163 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: in the world. For the majority of you listening to 164 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: this podcast, pressure is trying to break one hundred for 165 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: the first time, trying to break ninety for the first time, 166 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: trying to break eighty for the first time, trying to 167 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: win the club championship, the city amateur. So pressure comes 168 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: and is different for everybody, but pressure's pressure, right. So 169 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: when I look at golf swings, I'm always thinking, Okay, 170 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: what am I doing to help this person while they're 171 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: on the golf course. I'm not thinking about how to 172 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: make their golf swing look good on the driving range, right, 173 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about a model in my head that 174 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: I have a specific swing model that I am going 175 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: to try and get everybody into. So for the instructors 176 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: out there, but also for everyone else listening that's playing. 177 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: If you aren't working on things in your golf swing 178 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: that are going to help you score and perform better 179 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: on the golf course, you're wasting your time. The reason 180 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: I say that is I think a lot of people 181 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: are trying to have their golf swing look better. Right. 182 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: I worked with Graham McDowell when he just turned pro, 183 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: probably Gosh two thousand and three, two thousand and four 184 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: won the Italian Open. But I worked with Graham in 185 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: two stints. I worked with them for a while and 186 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: then he moved on to another instructure, and I think 187 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: like five six he came back to me and said, hey, 188 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: I want to try and work with you again and stuff. 189 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: And I've got some video somewhere that I'm still trying 190 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: to find. I've got pictures of Graham McDowell looking like 191 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: Tiger in two thousand, right knee flexed, club online at 192 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: the top, club face dead, neutral, left wrist in a 193 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: perfect position. Looking at it on TV, the video looked 194 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: like Tiger Woods in two thousand. The only problem was 195 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: from that position Gmac could not get the club onto 196 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: the ball, couldn't make contact. Looked great on film, looked 197 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: great on video. Positions were perfect, just couldn't hit the 198 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: golf ball from there. So, when you're looking at your 199 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: golf swing, aesthetics or function, I am far more interested 200 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: in function than I am in aesthetics. Esthetics are the 201 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: way a golf swing looks and the style of a 202 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: golf swing. But golf is not figure skating, right, Golf 203 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: is not gymnastics. There's not judges saying, oh, yeah, he's 204 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: got the best looking golf swing. If that was the case. 205 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: Adam Scott, Nellie Corda, Tommy Fleetwood, the people that have 206 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: beautifully fundamentally sound golf swings that look really, really good, 207 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: they'd win all the time, but they don't. Across the gamut, 208 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: there's golf swings that are very, very different that are 209 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: winning golf tournaments. There's not one specific way to swing 210 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: the golf club. If you look at the Hall of Fame, 211 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: and you go to the World Golf Hall of Fame 212 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: and you go and look at all the people that 213 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: have been inducted, is there anybody out there listening that's 214 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: a golf instructor that has a junior golfer, female junior 215 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: golfer fifteen sixteen, Is anybody trying to teach her to 216 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: swing the golf club like on Akasians damp the greatest 217 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: golf female golfer of all time, one of the greatest 218 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: golfers of all time. No one's trying to do that, right, 219 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: No one's trying to teach any I don't see anybody 220 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: coming in. I don't see anything on social media where 221 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: people are trying to have everybody swing like on a 222 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: Coasorians dam right. I don't see anybody teaching putting like 223 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas putted, one of the greatest putters of all time. 224 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: Jack's one of the greatest putters of all time. Jack's 225 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: one of the greatest pressure putters of all time. But 226 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: nobody is trying to emulate that, right, but under pressure 227 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: Jack made every put So my point behind that is 228 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: your golf swing has to be functional. Yeah, it'd be 229 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: great if your golf swing looked good, but some of 230 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: my favorite golf swings don't necessarily look that great, but 231 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: they are one hundred functional. Great example would be Bubba Watson. 232 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: Anybody trying to swing the golf club like Bubba Watson. 233 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Anybody trying to swing the golf club and shape it 234 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: and curve it like Bubba Watson. Nope, guys won two Masters, 235 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: Guy's got two Green jackets, been on Ryder Cups, He's 236 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: been on President's Cups, a hell of a player, has 237 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: had a hell of a career. But again, no one's 238 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: trying to swing like that. No one's trying to actively 239 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: work on the things that Bubba Watson does. But under 240 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: Pressure won two majors, one two Masters. So if you're 241 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: taking lessons, if you're working on your own game, you 242 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: have to think of it like this, what am I 243 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: working on in Will it help me score on the 244 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: golf course? Not will it make my golf swing look better? 245 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: On video will make it look better on the range 246 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: because none of that matters for the instructors out there. 247 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: Build a team, right, Build a team around you. Find 248 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: a physio, chiropractor, medical in your area. Right, So if 249 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: you have players, I think the guy Greg and Dave 250 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: Greg Rose and Dave Phillips, both who've been on the pod, 251 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: and you can go check them out the work that 252 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: they've done at the Titleist Performance Institute. They were big 253 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: on that, right, Create a team. So I'm currently at 254 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: my academy in Dubai. I have seven full time instructors 255 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: here and we have two full time fitness guys. Right, 256 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: that's mandatory for us. At my academy, at my dad's 257 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: academy in Florida, at the Floridian where I work, we 258 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: have instructors and then we have a fitness guy. Just 259 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: open up an academy out in Bangkok. We're in the 260 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: process of hiring. So we're building a team of people 261 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: around us. You want to work. If I'm taking lessons, 262 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: I want to find an instructor that if there's something 263 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: wrong with my body, he's got somebody that he can 264 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: send me to. If I'm doing something in my golf swing, 265 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: if I'm in pain hitting golf balls. He's got somebody 266 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: that I can go to. So I think building a 267 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: team as an instructor, building a core group of people 268 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: around you hugely important. I'm always trying to build a 269 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: strength with players, right. I think in order to be 270 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: a good golfer, you've got to have a strength, right. 271 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: I always say that at the elite tour level. Right. 272 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: If you look at the best players in the world, 273 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: they all have a strength, right, and their calling card 274 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: is that strength. Brad faxon great putter, Patrick Reid, Sevy, 275 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: bi Astero's unbelievable short game, Rory DJ Brooks. The strength 276 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: is speed the driver, Luke Donald unbelievable wedge player. Right. 277 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: So when you're looking at your own game, think about 278 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: do you have a strength? Right? And I listen, when 279 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: we're looking at strengths with players, I really don't care 280 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: what that strength is. Are you a good green reader 281 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: that could be a strength. Are you a good win 282 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: player that could be a strength, Or you a good 283 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: bunker player that could be your strength? Right? And then 284 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: you look at that strength and you try and ride that. 285 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: So let's say you're a really good wedge player, right, 286 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: You're gonna want to try and lay up to where 287 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: you lay up to your strength. Right. If you're a 288 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: great putter, you're gonna try and hit more greens so 289 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: you can take advantage of your putting. Right. If you're 290 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: not a great putter, if your short game isn't great, right, 291 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: then you've got to try and hit more greens. Right. 292 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: So I also when players come in and take a 293 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: golf lesson for the first time, I try and find 294 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: something in their golf swing that's a strength. Hey you've 295 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: got a great grip, that's the strength of yours. Hey, 296 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: you've got a great setup. You've got great posture, you've 297 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: got great tempo, you've got great rhythm. I don't care 298 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: what it is. It's easy for me in a golf 299 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: lesson to look at a twenty five handicapper and tell 300 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: them all the things are doing wrong, right. I want 301 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: to find some things. Hey, listen, I really like a 302 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: lot of these things in your golf swing. We just 303 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: need to clean up a couple of other things. But 304 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: you do a lot of really good things in the 305 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: golf swing. And when I say that to a fifteen 306 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: twenty handicapper, hey, I think you do some really nice 307 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: things good things in the golf swing. They're like, well, 308 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: why am I twenty five handicap? Why am I still 309 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: at fifteen? Right? Then I can say, well, these are 310 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,719 Speaker 1: the problems, but you do this really really well, so 311 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: make sure you keep doing that really really well. Another 312 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: thing that I look at when I look at players, 313 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: and it's something that I've talked about before on the pod, 314 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: but I will continue to talk about it because I 315 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: think it's hugely important. Start line where the golf ball 316 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: is starting. When I'm looking at a player, I am 317 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: evaluating how good a player they are on their ability 318 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: to start the golf ball in the direction it needs 319 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: to start for the shape they're telling me they're trying 320 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: to hit. So if a player is trying to hit draws, 321 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: and we give them a target and say, all right, 322 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, take a seven iron out. You know it's 323 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty yards one hundred and forty yards 324 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: hundred However, are you hit a seven iron? Right? What 325 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: shape you hit? And I do this before I tell 326 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: them anything, right, I do this at the beginning of 327 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: a golf lesson. Watch a player hit some balls. I'll 328 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: have them watched some you know, once they get warmed up. Hey, 329 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: hit me some seven irons. Tell me what you're trying 330 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: to do. What kind of shape you are you trying 331 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: to play? What kind of shape do you like to play? 332 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: Where's the miss what's the contact like on the golf course? Hey, 333 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: you know, I really like to try and draw the 334 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: golf ball. All right? Cool? Okay, So there's the target 335 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: flag and then we're gonna give you ten balls. And 336 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: the only thing I'm going to ask you to do 337 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: in these ten balls is can you start all ten 338 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: of them to the right? If you're a fader of 339 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: the golf ball, Hey, you like to hit fades? All right, 340 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna pick out a target, give you seven iron, 341 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: give you eight iron, whatever the club, and say, all right, 342 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: just hit me ten balls. And the only task here 343 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: is all ten of them start. If you're trying to 344 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: fade it, all ten of them start left of the 345 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: target right. So I'm as much interested in that as 346 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: to how their golf swing looks right and how they're 347 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: I want to know, can you just concept wise what 348 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: would you need to do? I take a lot of 349 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: video and I'll show a player. Okay, let's say you're 350 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: trying to draw the golf ball and the club's working 351 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: very much on the outside on the takeaway. And then 352 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,239 Speaker 1: we go to try and have you hit more of 353 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: a draw and feel like the club works maybe a 354 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: little bit more on the inside so that it can 355 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: work a little bit more into out on the downswing. 356 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: And what I'll do is say, all right, this is 357 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: the first swing you were making with the club you 358 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: know is working way outside, and now this is you 359 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: trying to hit a draw the club going back. So 360 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: I'll put the two pictures on the screen and say, 361 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: all right, if you didn't know this was you, tell 362 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: me which one hits fades and which ones hit draws. Right, 363 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: you should kind of be able to look at a 364 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: swing and say, yeah, I mean, it would look to 365 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: me like that swing would produce fade. It would look 366 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: to me like that swing would produce a draw. And 367 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: again that goes back into one of the things I 368 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: talked about at the beginning, which is concept Right, if 369 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: you're trying to draw the golf ball by take if 370 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: you're trying to fade the golf ball by massively taking 371 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: the golf club inside, right, you're going to have to 372 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: do more than likely what Hail Irwin did take it inside, 373 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: come over the top and hit a fade that way? 374 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: So I think also this always leads me in a 375 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: golf lesson to talk about intent. What is your intent? 376 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: What is your intention? What are you trying to do? 377 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: I think intent is really really important to me. The 378 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: intent is for regular handicapped golfers, non elite tour players. 379 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: I think intention is something that is missing. I think 380 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: you've got to ask yourself, Okay, what are you trying 381 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: to do with your golf swing? What are you trying 382 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: to do with this shot? Right? What is your intention? 383 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: I think that is incredibly powerful, I really do. And 384 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: I think start line ken. If you're a right hand 385 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: if you're right handed, you're trying to hit a draw 386 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: a ball, damn well needs to start right of your target. 387 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: If it starts at your target and curves, you're you're 388 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: gonna miss greens right, You're gonna be in trouble. You're 389 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to have a hell of a short game. 390 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: So whatever shot you're trying to hit, if you're trying 391 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,239 Speaker 1: to fade it, just stand up and say listen. If 392 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: you want to fade the golf ball, pick your target 393 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: flag out and say all right, I'm gonna hit ten balls, 394 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: and the only thing I'm going to do so if 395 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: I can start all ten of them left of my target. 396 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: If I'm trying to draw the golf ball, I'm just 397 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: gonna try and see if i can start all my 398 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: golf balls. Where the ball starts for me, is as important, 399 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: if not more important, than when the ball where the 400 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: ball finishes. But I think I've said this before. I 401 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: think everybody is hyper focused and just obsessed with the 402 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: curvature of the golf ball and where the golf ball 403 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: is ending up. For me, where the golf ball starts 404 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: is as important, if not more important, than when where 405 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: the ball ends up. And then the last team I'm 406 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: trying to do with giving golf lessons is just check 407 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: my ego right. Golf is hard. Golf isn't easy. I 408 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: don't ever think golf is easy. I never played to 409 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: any real high level, so to this day, golf is 410 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: still hard for me. So I'm always talking to my 411 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: instructors that are on my team, hey check here you go. 412 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: Nobody cares if you can do it. The only thing 413 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: that matters is if your students can do it right. 414 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of players that come. A 415 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: lot of instructors that come from a playing background, they 416 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: can be guilty of that. Sometimes I just do it 417 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: like this, You're fine, Yeah, I can do it, so 418 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: you can do it. So I'm always trying to check 419 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: me ago at the door. I said this in my 420 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: presentation on Friday in Orlando for the TPI guys. I've 421 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: worked with Ernie Els he won the Open Championship in 422 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: twenty twelve. I work with Dustin Johnson. He won the 423 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: US Open in sixteen, he won the Masters in twenty 424 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: won the FedEx Cup. He's been number one in the 425 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 1: world for almost you know, he and Brooks have been 426 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: number one in the world for almost three years cumulative. 427 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: But I still don't know everything, right, I still don't. 428 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: I still haven't figured this out. I never think I have. 429 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: But it would be easy for me, at this stage 430 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: of my career to just say, listen, I've got all 431 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: these major champions, I've got all these guys that have 432 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: been number one in the world, worked with players that 433 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: have won basically all over the place. But I still 434 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: don't There's still days where I feel like I don't 435 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: know what I'm doing. There's still members of my team 436 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: that I say, hey man, can you take a look 437 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: at this golf swing? Maybe I'm just not seeing it, 438 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: maybe I'm too close to it. So I don't ever 439 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: think that I've figured it out and I've kind of 440 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: found it, because I don't think that quest will ever stop, right, 441 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: I'll always try to get better. I'll always try and improve, 442 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,239 Speaker 1: so my knowledge base can always get better. And so 443 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: I always try and check my ego and just say, listen, man, 444 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: you don't know everything. You can learn something from other instructors. 445 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: I ask when I'm on tour. I'll sit with other 446 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,959 Speaker 1: instructors on tour and say, hey man, i'm working on 447 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: this with a player, what do you think about this? Right? 448 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: And I don't necessarily agree with everything that every other 449 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: instructor does. You know, I have my own way of 450 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 1: doing things, but I don't know everything, and maybe they 451 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: can see something or come up with idea or concept 452 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: that I don't know. Having given that presentation, I just 453 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: thought it'd be a cool podcast to just talk about 454 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: how I think and about how I see golf swings 455 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: and what I'm trying to work on with players. So 456 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: just a little brief overview of kind of my checklist 457 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: when a player comes in for a golf lesson. Maybe 458 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: that's helpful, maybe it's not. But I think it's some 459 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: good information and I think you should be thinking about 460 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: this when you're taking your golf lessons, some of it 461 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: which comes to you most every week, Rate review, Subscribe 462 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks everyone for listening. We 463 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: will be back
