1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: It's the Son of a Butch podcast. I'm your host,

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: Claude Harmon. So in the never ending quest to try

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: and help golfers get better, to try and help this

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: game become easier for you to play and for you

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: to manage your game. Another idea that I think in

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six that can help you lower your handicap right,

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: the handicap barriers that everyone is trying to beat, trying

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: to break one hundred for the first time, ninety eighty,

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: trying to break bar And I think a big part

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: of that is talking more about the miss instead of

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: so much focus on the good shot. And if you

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: think about it, your miss is kind of your identity

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: as a player. And I think what we all try

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: and do is we all try and focus so much

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: on hitting good shots, but really where you miss it,

16
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: how you miss it, and how destructive that miss is

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: is really is kind of your identity as a player.

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: So in twenty twenty six, embrace your miss right. It's

19
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: a way that you can really start to think about

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: the game differently, think about scoring differently. Every golfer has

21
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: a miss right, every single player that plays golf, regardless

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: of what handicap level you're at, regardless of what your talents,

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: what your scores are. Every golfer has a miss, and

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: I think all everyone listening you know what your miss is.

25
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: You hate your miss, you're trying to fix your miss.

26
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: But what if I told you that stop trying to

27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: fix your miss can actually help you score better, because again,

28
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: your miss is your identity and that's not necessarily a

29
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: bad thing. So what we're going to talk about is

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: embracing your miss and not trying to fight your miss.

31
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: So when we look at professional golfers, and I think

32
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: we're all very skewed as as golfers because we're always

33
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: looking at tour players. We're looking at the best players

34
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: in the world. We're looking at the best players in

35
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: the world. Golf swings to try and emulate. We're looking

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: to try and hit it as far as the best

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: players in the world. We're trying to have a short

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: game and putt like the best players in the world.

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: But that just really isn't a reality for the majority

40
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: of players that play Tiger Woods. Throughout his career had

41
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: a miss. Jack Nicholas had a miss, Rory Scottie, Nelliicott.

42
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: We can go down the list of all the great

43
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: players of the past and all the great players currently

44
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: that you're watching on TV that you're idolizing, that are

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: your superstars, right, Tour players miss. The best players in

46
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: the world have a miss. What's the difference between a

47
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: tour player and you. One of the big differences is

48
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: they know what their miss is, right, Their miss is

49
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: predictable for them. So whenever I'm going to work with

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: a player, what I want to know is the number

51
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: one of the first one or two questions that I'm

52
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: going to ask is where is your miss on the

53
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: golf course? Not where is your miss on the driving right?

54
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Where is your miss on the golf course? What is

55
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: the destructive miss on the golf course? You miss it

56
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: to the left, you miss it to the right, get

57
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: it thin, hit it fat. But when you're on the

58
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: golf course, what are you seeing on a regular basis?

59
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: And that predictability of where your miss is it's actually

60
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: kind of if you think about it, it's kind of

61
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: a gift because if you know where you're going to

62
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: miss the golf ball, you can plan for that miss. Right.

63
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: But I think the problem is most golfers are they're

64
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: constantly fighting their miss right. Most golfers spend their entire

65
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: golf career, their entire golf life, trying to eliminate what

66
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: their miss is right. I need to stop slicing the

67
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 1: golf ball. I hook it too much. Whatever that miss

68
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: is right. And when you try and focus on eliminating

69
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: the miss, I just don't think you're thinking about your game.

70
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you're thinking about it in a way

71
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: that's productive. And I think a lot of times players

72
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: struggle because they have a double miss right. Short irons go.

73
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: Let's say, I think a lot of golfers that I

74
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: work with, especially handicapped golfers, right, non elite competitive tour

75
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: players and everything like that, A lot of players that

76
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: come in and work with me say kind of the

77
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: same thing. Listen, my short irons, I kind of pull

78
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: those to start left, stay there, maybe go a little

79
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: bit more left, and then as the clubs get longer

80
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: with my irons, I miss it. You know, I can

81
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: miss it left, but as the clubs really start to

82
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: get longer, then I can miss it to the right.

83
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: So again, you've got your short irons going one direction,

84
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: You've got your longer clubs going in another direction. And

85
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: that's that's the worst scenario to be in. That's the

86
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: worst case is to have a double miss to where

87
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: you can miss it left and you can miss it right.

88
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Why because that makes it on the golf course really

89
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: really hard to aim, especially if you've got a double

90
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: miss so early in the round, if you've missed a

91
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: couple of irons left and then you've missed a couple

92
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: of drives to the right. By the time you get

93
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: halfway through your front nine, where the hell do you aim?

94
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Because you know you've got to miss it's going left,

95
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: you've got to miss that's going right. And a one

96
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: way miss, I think is ideal because then you can

97
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: aim away from trouble, know where you're missing is going

98
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: to be, and then you can plan for it right.

99
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: So when we think of the elite tour players right,

100
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: and I'll just give you some examples. You know, tour

101
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: players that I've worked with, they have a miss, They

102
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: have a miss over the course of a year that

103
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: we're trying to work around. We're trying to make that

104
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: miss a little bit more acceptable, a little bit more destructive.

105
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: So from a thought process, maybe shifting your thoughts as

106
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: opposed to saying, listen, I'm obviously yeah. I mean, you

107
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: can make your miss better, right, you can take lessons,

108
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: you can work on your golf swing, all of those things.

109
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you should stop doing that, right,

110
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: But I'm also saying that what you really need to

111
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: have a really good understanding of is you as a player.

112
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: What is your DNA, what is your signature? What does

113
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: your golf swing produce? From a miss standpoint? Right? And

114
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: with tour players, we want to know what the miss is.

115
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: We have data points for that. We have a lot

116
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: of data points on what the miss is under pressure,

117
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: what the miss is on the back nine on Sunday,

118
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: what the miss is if you're trying to make the cat,

119
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: what the miss is on Thursday, on Friday, right, what

120
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: the miss is on the weekend. So I think if

121
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: you can be honest with yourself and really kind of

122
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: have that mental check in of okay, historically, look back

123
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: at twenty twenty five and look at all the rounds

124
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: of golf you played, right, and say to yourself, Okay,

125
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: if I was going to be honest with myself, if

126
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: I was going to have someone taking all of us,

127
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: if I had access shot link data, right, because that's

128
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: kind of what we do at the tour level. We

129
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: are looking at stats, We're looking at where the miss

130
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: is off the tee right, where the miss is with

131
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: the irons. I mean, you can go into a real

132
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: deep dive with a lot of our junior golfers now

133
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: a lot of our college golfers and golfers trying to play.

134
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: We use CLIPPED. I think CLIPPED is a really good program.

135
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: You can input all your data, and the more data

136
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: you input, the more information you get out of it.

137
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: So I think you want to really if you are

138
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: someone that takes stats, if you are someone that's looking

139
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: at data on your own game, and I would I

140
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: would advise everybody listening to do that, regardless of your handicap,

141
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: because what you want to do is be able to

142
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: make informed decisions right, make decisions based off of real

143
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,359
Speaker 1: world information about your game, not what you're seeing on television,

144
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: not what you're seeing from your playing partners. You want

145
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: to have a really good idea as to what you

146
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: do as a player. So I think it's a good

147
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: habit to get into to where if you miss a

148
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: fair way right down, if you miss the fairway to

149
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: the left, right down, if you miss the fairway to

150
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: the right, if you're going into the green right down,

151
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: if you miss the green to the right, if you

152
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: miss the green to the left, if you miss the

153
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: green short, if you miss the green long. And I

154
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: think if you can start to get some trends and

155
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: some patterns and a better idea of what you do

156
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: as the player, then you can start to strategize. And

157
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: talked about this earlier on the pod. Try not to

158
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: be so perfect, because I think that's really really important

159
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: in the quest to try and figure out what's going

160
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: to happen on the golf course. So how do you

161
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: do that? How do you figure out what your miss

162
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: pattern is? Okay, go to the range, pick out one

163
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: of your short irons. You know you can pick out

164
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: nine eight seven iron. You'd hit twenty balls with that.

165
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: And as opposed to constantly focusing on the good ones,

166
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: actually focus on where are the bad ones go? Are

167
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: they left? Are they right? Are they short of my target?

168
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: Are they long? Are my targets contact? Then it is

169
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: contact heavy. Most golfers know really what their miss is,

170
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: but they just don't want to accept it. They want

171
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: to try and constantly think of themselves as the complete

172
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: golfer that when I hit good shots, this is the

173
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: shot that I hit. But for the majority of us

174
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: that aren't playing competitive golf, for the majority of us

175
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,479
Speaker 1: that are just trying to break down the score barriers

176
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: of one hundred ninety eighty break par for the first time,

177
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: you don't want to accept your miss. You want to

178
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: focus on, Okay, well, if I hit a really good

179
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: on this whole, I'm going to end up here. If

180
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: I hit a really good iron shot on this part three,

181
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to end up here. But the majority of

182
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: the time, you're not going to have your best stuff.

183
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: You're not going to hit your best shots. And I've

184
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: said this too many times on the pod over the years.

185
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: Golf is a game of misses, and golf is a

186
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: game of how good is your miss? How good is

187
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: your bad shot. So if you can really get an

188
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: honest evaluation of what your individual miss is. If it's

189
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: to the left, if it's to the right, if it's short,

190
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: if it's long. Maybe it's not so much on the

191
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: golf course, a directional miss. Maybe sometimes it's a contact miss,

192
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: but you are going to if you evaluate it, if

193
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: you go to the range and say Okay, let me

194
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: take a short iron, twenty balls, where did I miss

195
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: the majority of them? Go to one of your longer irons,

196
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: twenty balls where did I miss the majority of them?

197
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: Go to your hybrid's, your woods, your driver? Where did

198
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: I miss the majority of them? And I think what

199
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: you'll be able to start to get and start to

200
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: have a better understanding of is you'll see your pattern. Right.

201
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: We want your pattern as a player. What is your DNA?

202
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: What is your signature? Right? Because if you know that,

203
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: then you can go out and play course management. But

204
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: nobody does that, right. Nobody really wants to kind of

205
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: acknowledge where the miss is. They don't want to be

206
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: honest with themselves, leave their ego at the door and say, listen,

207
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: you know my miss is predominantly I miss the majority

208
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: of my full swing shots. I missed the majority of

209
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: them to the right, or I miss the majority of

210
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: them to the left. But if you know, let's just,

211
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: for instance, say you know your miss. You've tested it.

212
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: So you've done twenty balls with the short iron, twenty

213
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: balls with the mid iron, twenty balls with your hybrid

214
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: and your four wood, five wood, three wood, and then

215
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,239
Speaker 1: twenty balls with a driver right, go to the range.

216
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: I think you would get as much out of that

217
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: exercise of twenty balls with a short iron, where's the miss?

218
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: Twenty balls with mid to long iron, where's the miss?

219
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: Twenty balls with your hybrids, and then your fairway woods,

220
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: where's the miss? And then twenty balls with your driver.

221
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: I think if you're honest with yourself, you should be

222
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: able to get good and listen, write it down, put

223
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: it in your phone, put it in your notes so

224
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: that you say, Okay, the tendency that I see with

225
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: my game is this miss. So let's say your missus

226
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: to the right. Right, you can adjust your aim. You

227
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: an aim. So if you know that your miss is

228
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: to the right, and you think about your home golf

229
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: course that you're gonna play the golf course you play

230
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, one of the things that you

231
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: can do to improve your scores, to lower your handicap,

232
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: and to break down these four barriers is to say, Okay,

233
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: when I go on the golf course, I'm going to

234
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: go course management one oh one. My miss tends to

235
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: be the right, so I'm gonna aim more to the left.

236
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Off the tee. My miss tends to be to the right.

237
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to aim more to the left of the

238
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: green because I'm going to give myself more room if

239
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: there's water on the right, if there's o B on

240
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: the right, if there's trouble on the right, then I'm

241
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and aim more to the left

242
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: to allow for the shape that I've got. And if

243
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: your miss is to the left, you're gonna do the

244
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: exact opposite right. You're gonna aim more to the right

245
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: of the fairway. You're gonna aim more to the right

246
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: of the green, and you're gonna give yourself room to

247
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: miss the golf ball. What I see so many players

248
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: do and why I think so many players just get

249
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: stuck to where they never really are making progress on

250
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: the golf course and scoring when it counts. They might

251
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: be making progress on driving range, making their swing look

252
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: a little bit better, working on mechanics and stuff, all

253
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: which is hugely, hugely important. I've said this on the

254
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: pod a load of times. Having a better golf swing

255
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: is one of the ways that you can lower your score.

256
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: But having a better golf swing doesn't There isn't a

257
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: formula that says, Okay, my golf swing improves on the

258
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: driving range. My golf swing looks better on a launch monitor,

259
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: My golf swing looks better on video, whatever the tech

260
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: that you're using to kind of evaluate what's going on

261
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: with your golf swing. On the driving range, there is

262
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: not a formula, There is no direct correlation to where

263
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: that's going to produce better scores. So maybe in twenty

264
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: six the goal isn't to hit it perfect. Maybe the

265
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: goal is to make your bad shots playable. Make your

266
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: bad shots more playable. Right a bat let, Let's say

267
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: you slice the golf ball, you aim a little bit

268
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: more to the left when there's trouble on the right,

269
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: and then you still miss the fair way, but you

270
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: get it in the rough, but it doesn't go in

271
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: the water, so you don't have to take a penalty stroke. Right,

272
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: If you can hit any part of the green as

273
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: opposed to missing the green or getting it into a

274
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: green side bunker, that's a win. That's progress, that's going

275
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: to help you score better. And again I'm not saying

276
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: don't work on your golf swing. Right. I'm a golf instructor.

277
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: That's what I do. I help players try and improve

278
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: their technique. I'm a big believer in that. But what

279
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying is change the goal. Don't try to eliminate

280
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: your miss. Have an understanding that you're human. You are

281
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: still going to make mistakes. You are still going to

282
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: make bad swings. So the focus, as opposed to trying

283
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: to eliminate your miss, try to make your miss smaller. Right,

284
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: here's a good example. Right, Let's see, your old miss

285
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: was a thirty to forty yard slice into the right trees.

286
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: Let's say the new miss is because we've aimed a

287
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: little bit better. It's only going fifteen to twenty yards

288
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen yards offline. That's a massive, massive improvement.

289
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: You might still be curving the golf ball from left

290
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: to right, which is the same miss that you always have,

291
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: but by allowing for the miss that you've got, you

292
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: can make the miss smaller and a smaller, more predictable

293
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: miss beats hitting it both ways and you setting up

294
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: for a good shot. I think most golfers set up

295
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 1: for good shots right. They're not thinking about the bad shots.

296
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's an ego thing. I

297
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a don't want to have negative thoughts.

298
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: But what I want you and I think will really

299
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: help players is to be honest with yourself. Use the

300
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: information you have about your game on what your tendencies are.

301
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: Your miss is not the enemy. Flip the switch and say, Okay,

302
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: my miss is my identity. Stop fighting your miss, Start

303
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: trying to use your miss. Know where your miss is.

304
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: Aim away from trouble, make your shots more playable, make

305
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: your miss repeatable. The best golfers in the world, we're

306
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: not trying to have them be perfect. We're trying to

307
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: have them minimize mistakes on the golf course. We're trying

308
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: to have the mistakes they make on the golf course

309
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: be less destructive. And don't get caught in the thought

310
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: process of the trap of thinking that you're here, that

311
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: you see winning major championships, that you see winning tournaments

312
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: on television, that you see shooting all of these good

313
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: scores that we all marvel at, you know, the three

314
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: hundred and forty yard drives, you know, the knocking it

315
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: to two feet, stuff like that. Always remember that when

316
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: you're watching golf on television, what you're going to see

317
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: other than the players, especially on the weekend, what you're

318
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: going to see is a very very small sample of

319
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: televised golf shots. If they're showing you a player that

320
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: is not in the hunt to win the golf tournament

321
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: and they're a superstar, you're only going to be watching

322
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: one of two things they're going to be showing you.

323
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: So let's say it's tournament and you know you've got

324
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: Cameron Young and he's not in the hunt, right, but

325
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,959
Speaker 1: on Saturday or Sunday, they show you a shot that

326
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: he's hit. Kevin York's one of the best players in

327
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: the game, played great in the writer comp Well, everyone

328
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: expects them to be big thing. It doesn't matter who

329
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: the player is. But the majority of the time they

330
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: are going to follow on the weekend the best players, right,

331
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: the players who are playing the best and have a

332
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: chance to win. So you're seeing the players that have

333
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: a chance to win the golf tournament. So that's going

334
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: to be skewed because they're playing good. So you're going

335
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: to see these players hit a lot of good shots.

336
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: That's why on Sunday they're in one of the last

337
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: two groups. That's why on Sunday on the back nine

338
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: they have a chance to win the golf tournament. So

339
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: if you're watching the leaders, you're going to be watching

340
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: players who are playing well, who are hitting really really

341
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: good shots, and you're going to see a lot of

342
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: good shots. And then they're going to cut to Cam Young.

343
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna cut to any other player, right, They're going

344
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: to cut to a Ryder Cup player, They're gonna cut

345
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: to a former major champion. And they're either going to

346
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: show you one of two things. They're going to show

347
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: you that person from a bunker holing it out. They're

348
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: going to show you on a par three knocking it

349
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: to two feet. They're going to show you take it

350
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: over a corner on a drive where nobody's done that.

351
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Or they're going to show you a good player hitting

352
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: a bad shot, hitting it in the water, making three putting,

353
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: doing something poorly. Right, So, television really does skew what

354
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: you see. But if you followed the best players in well,

355
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: if you followed Scotti Scheffler around every single practice round

356
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: he played okay in a tournament, so all of the

357
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: practice rounds, if you watched his warm ups and then

358
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: you watched him play every single shot for his entire

359
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: PGA Tour season, you would see some amazing shots. You

360
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: would see some things that you've never seen before that

361
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: are otherworldly that really only a couple of people on

362
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: the planet can do. But you would also see a

363
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: miss that wasn't necessarily his best stuff, that wasn't necessarily

364
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: how he wanted it to go, but you'd still see

365
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: that ball in play. You'd still see that miss be playable.

366
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: So I really think that trying to focus less on

367
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: eliminating your miss and trying to own your miss, own

368
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: and understand who you are as a player, own and

369
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: understand what your tendency is. Spend the time on the

370
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: driving range working on your golf swing. One, absolutely, but

371
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: you should be If golf is important to you and

372
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: lowering your handicap and your scores is important to you,

373
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: you should be having weekly, monthly check ins with yourself

374
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, even with all of the stuff that

375
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: I've been working on in my golf swing, in my

376
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: golf lessons, on the range, whatever it is, let me

377
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: go ahead and test and give myself twenty balls with

378
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: a short iron, twenty balls with a mid iron, twenty

379
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: balls with my hybrids and my fairway woods, and then

380
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: twenty balls with my driver. Me pick out specific targets greens.

381
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: If you have a driving range that has target greens,

382
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: pick the flag out, figure out where it is. If

383
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: you don't have that, if you just go to a

384
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: driving range and it's just got you know, yardage markers

385
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: on driving range, say okay, let me go ahead and

386
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: have my intended finish to be the one fifty sign,

387
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: and then let me use the one fifty as the flag,

388
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: and then let me hit twenty balls and figure that

389
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: where that is on the driving range. Give yourself trees, poles,

390
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: flags to kind of come up with your own fairway,

391
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: and then say to myself, Okay, I've got my defined fairway,

392
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: I've got twenty golf balls. I'm going to go through

393
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: my routine. And that would be the other thing that

394
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: I would do when you're trying to figure out where

395
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: your miss is, try with the twenty ball challenge of

396
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where your miss is going to

397
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: be with your short irons, your mid to long irons,

398
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: your hybrids, your fairway woods, and the driver. Go through

399
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: your routine on all twenty right, so that you can

400
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: try and simulate what's going to happen on the golf course.

401
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: See if you can stick to your routine. See if

402
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: sticking to a routine and doing the same thing every time,

403
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: having the same amount of practice strokes, taking the same

404
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: amount of time on the driving rates. See if any

405
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: of that can help you improve as a player, right,

406
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: and improve your miss. But once you have a good

407
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: idea of what that pattern is and what your miss is,

408
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: own it, accept it, work on trying to get better,

409
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: work on trying to improve that. But for most of us,

410
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: and for the best players in the world, the best

411
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: players in the world have a DNA. They have something

412
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: in their golf swing that is a miss. You will

413
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 1: watch golf on television and you will hear the commentator

414
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: say that. Listen, he's one of the best players in

415
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: the world. He tends the miss the golf ball left

416
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: of the grain. He tends to miss the golf ball

417
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: to the right under pressure over the last two three

418
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: weeks when he's had chances to win. This is what

419
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: we have seen as announcers, right, this is what the

420
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: television shows us. You hear that all the time. So really,

421
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, flip the switch. Your miss is

422
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,959
Speaker 1: your identity as a golfer. Your hopeful good shots is

423
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: not who you are as a golfer. I'll continue to

424
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: say this said this before. Hope is not a strategy. Right.

425
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: If you're going out on the golf course and you're

426
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: hoping to hit a good today, you're hoping not to

427
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: hit any bad shots. If you're hoping not to have

428
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: any misses. One, that's not reality. Two that's impossible to

429
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: say score from. And I think this is embracing your miss.

430
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: Allowing for your miss, knowing what that miss is is

431
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: a way for you to improve your course management. It's

432
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: a way for you to improve your strategy on the

433
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: golf course. It's a way for you to improve your

434
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: thinking on the golf course. It's a way for you

435
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: to improve your playing of the game. Right, there's two

436
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: parts of golf. There's playing golf and then there's practicing golf.

437
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: So when your practice sessions, work on your golf swing.

438
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: Work to make your golf swing better. Right, but come

439
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: up and own where your miss is. Right. You've heard

440
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: players say, you know, great all strikers, you know they

441
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: own their golf swing. They understand their golf swing. Right,

442
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: You can do that. If you're shooting in the hundreds,

443
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: nineties or eighties, you can own your golf swing that

444
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: you want to try and get better through lessons, through instruction,

445
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: through working on things. Well. The other thing that I

446
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: think you need to own is own your miss because

447
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: you're responsible for it. You're the one hitting it. It's

448
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: your identity as a player. It's a huge part of

449
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: getting better. It's a huge part of lower in your scores.

450
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: And I think if you can switch that mindset of

451
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: understanding that you're going to hit bad shots, but understanding

452
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: when you do hit bad shots, this is the bad

453
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: shot that you see consistently and then allow for it

454
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: if the contact is the issue, if the miss consistently

455
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: is a contact error every iron you take. If you

456
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: grab a nine iron in your miss when you test

457
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: it is listen, stn't hit it as solid as I'd

458
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: want to. The shape isn't that bad, but I just

459
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: come up short a lot. If you go to pull

460
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: a nine iron out, put the nine iron in back

461
