1
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: It's the Son of a Book podcast. You guys know

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: the drill come to you every Wednesday. This week. This week,

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to follow up on something that I touched

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: on in the pod last week, this concept of this

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: domino effect that I talked about when I give golf lessons,

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at golf swings and I'm looking at

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: how players swing the golf club, I'm looking at a

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: lot of different things, right, There's a lot of different

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: body parts. And I think one of the things that

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: confuses a lot of people that play golf is there's

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on in a very very

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: short period of time. You know, you're making a dynamic

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: movement pattern, but the movement pattern that you're making is

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: really only taking about second and a half to two seconds.

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: So even though there's a lot of things going on,

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: there tends to be a one main cause. My dad

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: used to always tell me, find the cancer in the

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: golf swing. Find the answer that is killing this person's

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: golf swing. And I thought about that, and I thought, Okay,

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: how can I kind of take that concept and kind

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: of make it my own? And I thought, okay, Well,

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: when I look at golf swings, and I look at

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: what players do. There's this series of events, this chain reaction,

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: and when you hit a bad shot, and I'll be

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: in golf lessons and all last players what they're working on,

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: and then they'll tell me what they're working on, and

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: then they'll hit a really really bad shot. So all

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: the stuff that they said that they were working on,

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: they do the exact opposite, and they they'll look at

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: me and they'll say, I'm not trying to do any

31
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: of that. But as I said on last week's pod,

32
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: there tends to be one main thing that starts to

33
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: cause all these other things, and there's a domino effect.

34
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: So if we can kind of reverse the domino, so

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: I thought, all right, maybe start doing some of these

36
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: pods and call it, you know, the Domino Series to

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: where we're going to look at real world situations that

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: I encounter and kind of talk about these things and

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: how the dominoes affect what's going on. So I was

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: working with one of the players I work with and

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: their bunker game has not been great this year, stats

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: below fifty percent, and that to me, that's really low

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: hanging fruit, right, That's where you can really make a

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: lot of gains by taking something like short game. I

45
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of short game for players is concept everyone. Yes,

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I think there are some technique issues, but I think

47
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: a lot of what happens is there's concept issues, and

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: the concept issues bleed into the technique issues. So in

49
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: looking at this player, we're watching them hit bunker shots.

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: And one of the characteristics of players that I see

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: struggle with bunker is the golf ball was fairly neutral

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: in the stance borderline almost back. I think you can

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: maybe get away with it being neutral, but if it

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: starts to creep back, and that's where I see a

55
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: lot of players get into some problems. And so the

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: ball position was pretty neutral, and to me, the big

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: domino in this scenario was the setup. The ball position's

58
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: kind of in the middle, the hands are a little

59
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: bit ahead, so very similar to if you were going

60
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: to be set up to try and hit kind of

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: a long bump and run chip shot. And that is

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: a setup that I see over and over again with

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: players when they do struggle out of the bunker. Is

64
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: they get in there, that ball position gets really really

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: neutral to almost back, The weight gets forward, the stance

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: gets open, the face gets wide open, and then they

67
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,559
Speaker 1: lean the shaft forward. And that is just a recipe

68
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: for a disaster. Why is that a recipe for a disaster?

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: So the domino effect there is if you think about

70
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: what you're doing in the bunker, imagine that in the

71
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: golf ball. So the golf ball when it's in the

72
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: bunker is resting on the sand. So my dad and

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: my run you used to always say that the bunker

74
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: shot should be the easiest shot in golf because it's

75
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: the only shot in golf. Well, we're not going to

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: ask you to hit the ball. We're going to ask

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: you to hit the sand. And it's you hitting the

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: sand that the golf ball is resting on that is

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: going to pop the golf ball up and get it

80
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: out of the bunker. So this idea of the domino

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: effect and what causes it, well, if you think about it,

82
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: think about the way that your wedge is designed. So

83
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: most people in the bunker are going to use probably

84
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: their fifty eight or their sixty, and on the bottom

85
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: of the wedge there's going to be what they call bounce.

86
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: Your bounce can be anywhere between four six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen,

87
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: whatever that number is right, and then you have the

88
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: leading edge of your your wedge, and then you have

89
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: the club face. So if you hold the club face, okay,

90
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: hold the club face up, hold your sand wedge up,

91
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: hold it in your right hand, and go ahead and

92
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: have the face pointing to you. And if someone said, okay,

93
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: show me more of the club face and more of

94
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: the leading edge, you would lean the handle forward and

95
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: you would see more of the leading edge. If somebody said, okay,

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: show me more of the bounce, you would lean the

97
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: shaft back and expose more of the bounce. So when

98
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: the golf club in the bunker, and I think this

99
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: is really really important. When you're in a bunker, the

100
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: single biggest effect that the sand is going to have

101
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: on the golf club as it it's the golf club

102
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: hits the sand, is it's going to slow the golf

103
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: club down because the sand has so many particles you're

104
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: coming in. So there's two issues. When you're trying to

105
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: hit a bunker shot. You need to have a lot

106
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: of speed because you're not hitting the golf ball right,

107
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: you're hitting the sand. So you need to have speed

108
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: to pop that golf ball up. You've got to imagine

109
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: that the golf ball is resting on a bed of sand,

110
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: like a dollar bill or a square. And one of

111
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the things that I do with players is We'll get

112
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: them in the bunker and then I'll go down and

113
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: I'll just go ahead and draw a square around the

114
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: ball and say, Okay, the golf ball is resting on

115
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: that square of sand, and you have to get the

116
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: sand out of this bunker. So if the ball position

117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: gets neutral and the handle gets forward, as the golf

118
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: club comes into impact, that handle is going to be

119
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: very much ahead of the golf ball. That leading edge

120
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: is going to be exposed more. We're going to expose

121
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: more club face. We're not going to be exposing the bounce,

122
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: and the golf club is going to dig, and as

123
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: it digs into the sand, it's also going to be

124
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: slowed down by the sand. So I think it gets

125
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: very very hard to get the sand out of the bunker.

126
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 1: And if you're getting the sand out of the bunker,

127
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: you're going to be getting the golf ball out of

128
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: the bunker. So ball position neutral, shaft forward, club comes

129
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: in steep, it digs, doesn't bounce, there's no splash, and

130
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: it makes it hard. So one of the ways that

131
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: you can change that sequence of events is to move

132
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: that golf ball more forward in your stance, so almost

133
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: like imagine if you were hitting a driver, you would

134
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: want to move that golf ball more forward and make

135
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: sure that the shaft that the shaft of the club,

136
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: the grip of the golf club isn't pointing in front

137
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: of the golf ball. If anything, you would almost want

138
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: to imagine that that it was almost resting behind it.

139
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: But a good rule of thumb is the back end

140
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: of your grip right the top of your grip in

141
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: the bunker. If you could have the back end of

142
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: your grip pointing to where the zipper on your pants

143
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: or shorts are, or where your belt is, that's going

144
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: to get that shaft a little bit more neutral and

145
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: have a little bit more of the bounce being exposed

146
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: at a dress. Then as you come into impact, trying

147
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: to have the feeling that there isn't a lot of

148
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: shaftlee when the ball is on the ground and we're

149
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: hitting chip shots, or when the ball is on the

150
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: ground and we're hitting full swings. Shaft lien is really

151
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: really important because we want that good constant contact, we

152
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: want that good angle of attack all of those things.

153
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: And one of the characteristics of really good ball strikers

154
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: is to have a lot of forward shaft lien. That

155
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily work in a bunker because the handle gets

156
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: too forward, the club starts to dig, and it just

157
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: makes it hard for you to get the ball out.

158
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: So I think one of the easiest ways to kind

159
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: of shift these dominoes is to move the golf ball one, two, three,

160
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: maybe four balls more forward of center. When you set up,

161
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: make sure that that shaft is not leaning too far forward.

162
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: If anything, you've want to feel like it's leaning back

163
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: just a little bit. And then in the full swing

164
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: in your swing, you've got to make sure that you're

165
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: making a swing that is long enough to get the

166
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: sand out of the bunker. So if you remember, when

167
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: you are in a bunker, you are not hitting the

168
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: golf ball. You're hitting the golf ball if you're hitting

169
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: a bad shot. But when you are in the bunker

170
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: and you're hitting your bunker shot, you are not hitting

171
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: the golf ball. You're hitting the sand. So you need

172
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: a swing that has enough force to get the sand

173
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: out of the bunker. So one of the drills that

174
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: I do with players is I just go ahead and

175
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: get him in a bunker. I go ahead and draw

176
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: a little circle in the sand or a little square

177
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: in the sand. I don't even use a ball, and

178
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: I say, okay, make me a swing that can get

179
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: the sand out of the bunker. Because if the sand

180
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: doesn't get out of the bunker, then the golf ball

181
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: is probably not going to get out of the bunker.

182
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: So you need to make a swing that has enough

183
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: force to get the ball out of the bunker. Now,

184
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I think a lot of

185
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: players don't do this is because because of the setup.

186
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: Because that handle can get forward, because the ball can

187
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: be a little bit further back, you're going to be

188
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: coming in and instead of having loft on your lob wedge,

189
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: your fifty eight, you're sixty, whatever club you're using, when

190
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: that handle starts to get forward, you're delofting the club.

191
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: And a lot of players hit the golf ball way

192
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: too far. They hit the golf ball, they hit that

193
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: the kind of low screamer, They hit that over the green.

194
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: They hit that low screamer that goes straight into the

195
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: top lip. So as a result of that, I think

196
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: they get scared to make a swing. So the domino

197
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: effect of when you don't make enough force in your

198
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: golf swing, when you don't have enough length in your

199
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: back swing and enough length in your follow through and

200
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: enough speed in your golf swing, is the domino effect

201
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: of that is the golf ball struggles to get out

202
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: of the bunker because the golf club is being slowed

203
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: down by the sand. So if we want to do

204
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: this at a dress you would want to feel like

205
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: you're moving the golf ball a little bit more forward.

206
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: Move that golf ball more, maybe more towards the logo

207
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: on your shirt, if you've got a logo, more like

208
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: a driver swing. I think most players could benefit from

209
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: being a little bit more on the open. There are

210
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: some players at play bunker shots from very very square positions,

211
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: but I think most people to get that body out

212
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: of the way and to start to get some rotation,

213
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: I think having the stance just a little bit on

214
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: the open side. How much you open the face, I

215
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: think if I would be critical of what I see

216
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: in the majority of my golf life, since I think

217
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: if you're going to open the face, you need to

218
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: make sure that you've got that golf ball forward in

219
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: your stance, and you're going to have to have that

220
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: stance a little bit on the open side to offset that.

221
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: And again I see a lot of players set up

222
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: very very neutral. I see a lot of players with

223
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: that handle forward, and then I see them with the

224
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: face wide open. So now the face is pointing, you know,

225
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: sometimes ten twenty thirty yards right of where their intended

226
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: target line is. Then the handle gets super far forward.

227
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Then the angle of attack gets super super steep. They're

228
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: de lofting the golf club. The face is wide open,

229
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: and those are the ones where you'll see players sometimes

230
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: just pull straight across it. So in working with this

231
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: player and working on it, the majority of the changes

232
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: we made were set up related. I kept saying, get

233
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: the ball more forward, get the ball more forward, get

234
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: the ball more forward. I was using a lot of

235
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: video and the player said, to listen, I feel like

236
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: that ball's outside my left toe. And I took some

237
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: video of the setup, and they couldn't believe that the

238
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: golf ball was still almost kind of borderline back. So

239
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: once we got the golf ball very much forward, we

240
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: were able to then feel like that shaft wasn't leaning

241
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: so far forward, So we were able in a setup to

242
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: get the golf club in a really good position to

243
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: be able to do its job, to get the lob

244
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: wedge in a position with the bounce to be able

245
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: to do the job that we need it to do.

246
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: And then one of the other generalizations that I see

247
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: a lot in bunker play, and yes, generalizations they work,

248
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: but sometimes I think players can do this too much,

249
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: this idea that we're going to take the golf club

250
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: very much out to in and cut across the golf ball.

251
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: And that's what this player that I was working on

252
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: was doing. The golf ball was very very neutral in

253
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: the stance, The hands were a little bit forward, the

254
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: face was wide open. The golf club wasn't going back steep.

255
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: And that's another thing that you need to think about

256
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: in your bunker game. Imagine that instead of the golf

257
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: ball resting on sand, imagine if you were in a

258
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: pool and there is a beach ball resting on the water, right,

259
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: how do you make the beach ball go up in

260
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: the air. Well, if you try and do it the

261
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: conventional way and swing your arm up, your arc is

262
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: going to bottom out and your arm is going to

263
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: hit the water. First, the water is going to slow

264
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: it down. So the easiest way to make a beach

265
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: ball go straight up in the air is to push

266
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: downward on the sand. As you push or on the water.

267
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: As you push downward on the water, the force and

268
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: the pressure of that pops the beach ball up. So

269
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: we need to do a little bit of the same

270
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: thing in the bunker. We need the club to work up,

271
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: and we need the club to work down. And I

272
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: think a lot of times when I see players take

273
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: the golf club very much on the outside, the golf

274
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: club is going back outside. It's going back in a

275
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: very very shallow position. So I always think in terms

276
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: of if I can try and shift the dominoes, maybe

277
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: I work the opposite. So this player ball neutral, hands forward,

278
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: face wide open. We moved the golf ball more forward.

279
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: We got the hands to feel like they were almost

280
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: back a little and then as opposed to the golf

281
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: club going outside and cutting across it, I wanted this

282
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: player to feel like they were taking the golf club

283
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: steep and almost a feeling of inside. And as a

284
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: result of that, I've kind of neutraled out what their

285
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: path was doing. They were no longer taking that club

286
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: excessively on the outside. They were taking it inside, but

287
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: the feeling of Okay, I'm gonna take the golf club

288
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more on the inside, and then the

289
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: path got a little bit too neutral. What I see

290
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: a lot of times when players start to struggle, if

291
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: you look at you, sometimes I think it's really good

292
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: to where wherever your golf ball is right in front

293
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: of your golf ball in the sand, go ahead with

294
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: your with your wedge and draw an arrow. So point

295
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: the arrow to where your target is right, so that's

296
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: your intended target line. And this is a good way

297
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: to see if you are excessively swinging across your target line,

298
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: if you're swinging across your body. When that tends to happen,

299
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: the divots tend to get really really steep. The divots

300
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: tend to get really really deep. And anytime we get

301
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: super super deep divots in in a bunker, in a

302
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: green side bunker, that's going to slow the golf club

303
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: down because the golf club's coming in too steep. So

304
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: in working with this player, the domino effect was ball

305
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: position change, set up change, and then from a technique standpoint,

306
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more feeling like the golf club was

307
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: going almost a little bit more on the in, a

308
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: little bit steeper, and then a much longer golf swing

309
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: with more force and more power. And that's where we

310
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: were able to make some big gains starting to get

311
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: that sound up instead of the golf club digging, that

312
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: sound of the golf club thumping the sand. And if

313
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: you start to do this properly, you should look at

314
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: your divots and in the bunker, and one of the

315
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: things that should happen is the divots should be a

316
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: lot shallower. They shouldn't be as deep. We shouldn't see

317
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: such a deep divot that we're going to see a

318
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: lot of wet sand. And if you do this properly

319
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: and you're utilizing the bounce and the club's coming in

320
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: in the right way, you should start to see your

321
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: divots more shallow. But you should also see them kind

322
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: of have an oval football type shape, a rugby ball

323
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: type shape to what the divot is. And that's always

324
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: a good example of the club coming in, the bounce

325
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: being utilized and that kind of oval shape divit is

326
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: the sand being pushed out and then the club is

327
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: you're utilizing more of that. Anytime the divot gets a

328
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: little bit more shallow in the bunker, and we're hitting

329
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: a really really good kind of bunker shot that has

330
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: some spin on it. That's showing us that we're utilizing

331
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: the bounce, that we're using the bounce of the wedge.

332
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Anytime the divot starts to get dig diggy, deep steep,

333
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: we see a lot of that wet, wet sand because

334
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: the club is digging very very deeply. That's going to

335
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: show us that we're using too much leading edge, that

336
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: that handle is getting forward. Another really good way to

337
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: get this sensation and this feeling is to make some

338
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: practice swings in a bunker one handed with your if

339
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: you're a right handed golfer, with your right arm only,

340
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: and that's going to give you the feeling of how

341
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: the club head should work. So if you make some

342
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: practice swings and do it with just your right arm only,

343
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: what you're trying to do with that is you're trying

344
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: to feel a lot of the clubhead. You want to

345
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: try and feel that club head working back and through impact,

346
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: and I think you can start to also with one

347
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: handed shots, feel the bount My grandfather was famously on

348
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: the cover of Golf digest. I think it's in the

349
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: mid seventies and the title of the article was get

350
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: out of the Bunker with one arm, and my dad

351
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: did a little bit of the same thing. He kind

352
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: of did a reboot of that in the nineties. But

353
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: I think it's a great way to try and teach

354
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: yourself how to get out of a bunker. Is if

355
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: you're a right handed golfer, use that trail arm your

356
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: right arm, your dominant arm, and that's going to give

357
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: you the feeling of being able to use the golf

358
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: club properly. If you have too much forward shaft lean

359
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: with your with just your right arm or one arm only,

360
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: I think you're going to feel it a lot more

361
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: than if you have too So you can choke down

362
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: kind of to the maybe choke down just to the

363
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: end of the grip right so that right arm is

364
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: choked down to the end of the grip, and that's

365
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: going to give you some of your grip. The shaft

366
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: that the grip is a hatch to. That's going to

367
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: give that grip some exposure to you. And what you

368
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: want to try and do is feel as you're coming

369
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: into impact instead of the grip leaning towards the target.

370
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: You would want it to feel like as you're coming

371
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: in with that just that one arm, only that right

372
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: arm only, you would want to feel like that grip

373
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: would be pointing back, that that would be backing up,

374
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: because that's what we want to try and do in

375
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: the bunker is we don't want that shaft to be

376
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: leaning too far forward. But again, going back to this

377
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: idea of the domino effect, is if that setup gets off,

378
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: the hands are going to get forward just on their own.

379
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: Because at that ball position gets neutral and you've got

380
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: it in the middle of your stance or a little

381
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: bit back, and then you try and open the face

382
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: and then you try and get the handle back. That

383
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: setup is just got disaster written all over it because

384
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: now the club face is going to be pointing miles

385
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: to the right, and it's going to be very hard

386
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: for you to get that club back into that really

387
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: good position. I do think that short game is probably

388
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: one of the easiest ways that we can see and

389
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: shift these dominoes in a very very short period of time.

390
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of the dominoes that you

391
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: can start to shift in short game start with setup.

392
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: The way you're set up to hit a golf ball.

393
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: So when I'm talking about ball position, right, So if

394
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: you think about your ball position, there are three ball positions.

395
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: There's one that would be kind of your neutral or

396
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: middle of your stance ball position. If you wanted to

397
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: hit the golf ball lower, you would move the golf

398
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: ball back in your stance. And if you wanted to

399
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: hit the golf ball higher, you would move the golf

400
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: ball more forward in your stands. So the domino effect

401
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: of what happens in golf swings is sometimes happens just

402
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: in the setup and then based off of the setup.

403
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: So in short game and in what we're talking about today,

404
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: in the bunker, if the golf ball gets back in

405
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: your stance, that is the recipe to try and hit

406
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: something low that is more of a bump and run

407
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: back of your stance with an eight or a nine iron,

408
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: the ball is not going to get into the air there.

409
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: The golf ball is going to get very low to

410
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: the ground and run. So when you're in a bunker,

411
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: the first thing that you want to do from a

412
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: setup standpoint to help change these dominoes is move that

413
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: golf ball more forward. The other thing is your arc

414
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: when you do that, is going to bottom out way

415
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: more towards the front of your stance. Because one of

416
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: the things that happens in the bunker that I see

417
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: on a regular basis is because you're trying to get

418
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: the golf ball up and you're trying to get the

419
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: golf ball out of the bunker. In an effort to

420
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: do that, I've seen players at times shift their weight

421
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: back to that trail leg. So if you're right handed

422
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: an effort to get the ball out of the bunker,

423
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: you're shifting and you're trying to help that golf ball

424
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: in the air, then that arc is going to bottom

425
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: out way too early. And then again that handle is

426
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: going to go forward, that shaft is going to dig,

427
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: and it's not going to be a super solid method

428
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: to get that ball out. So short game in a bunker,

429
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: this domino effect idea. Always start with your setup. Ask yourself,

430
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: if you're in a bunker and you're trying to hit

431
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: the golf ball high, the last thing you want to

432
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: do is have the golf ball be back in your stance.

433
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: If you're in the bunker and you're trying to hit

434
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: the golf ball high out of the bunker, the last

435
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: thing you would want would be to have your handle forward,

436
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: to have a lot of forward shaft liing. And then again,

437
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: if you're trying to hit the golf ball high and

438
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: soft out of a bunker, the last thing you would

439
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: want to do at impact would be to have a

440
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: lot of forward shaft liing, because that's not going to

441
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: have the golf ball come out. You're not going to

442
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: be able to utilize the ounce, and then the golf

443
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: ball is just going to struggle to get out of

444
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: the bunker. And then because of that, it's going to

445
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: be very hard for you to have a golf swing

446
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: that is long enough, that has enough speed, that has

447
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: enough force through impact to get the golf ball out

448
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: of the bunker. So I think some of those things

449
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: set up ball position. The way you're setting up with

450
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: the shaft, that's to me some low hanging fruit that

451
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: if you're struggling out of a bunker, go ahead and

452
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: take a look at that, but start to think about

453
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: the effect of what you're doing at setup. Ask yourself

454
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: in your setup, specifically in short game and in a bunker,

455
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: what the setup is designed to do from a ball flight.

456
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: And I think if you can start to think about

457
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: that on a consistent basis. It's going to make it easier.

458
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: And then the last thing I'll say, you have to

459
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: make a swing that has enough force to get the

460
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: golf ball out of the bunker. So don't be afraid

461
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: to make that swing. Do it without a golf ball,

462
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: because obviously when the golf ball's there, there's a lot

463
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: of anxiety for players. Just go ahead, and you can

464
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: just go ahead and draw a line, a straight line,

465
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: and then just go ahead and hit five swings and say, Okay,

466
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and hit the line, and I'm

467
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: going to try and take the sand that is in

468
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: this bunker and get it onto the green. If the

469
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: sand doesn't get onto the green, the ball isn't going

470
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: to get onto the green. Because this is the only

471
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: shot in golf where we're going to ask you to

472
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: not hit the ball. We're asking you to hit the

473
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: sand underneath the ball. You need to throw the sand

474
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: out of the bunker. So I think I'm gonna think

475
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: I'll do some more of these to where we talk

476
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: about just real life situations and what those domino effects are.

477
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: And I think it's a really good way for everyone

478
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: to try and start to think about how all of

479
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: this stuff, all of this stuff is interconnected in your

480
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: golf swing. I want to thank everybody for listening some

481
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: of it which comes to you every Wednesday. See you

482
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: next week.
