1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: It's the Son of a Butch podcast. Welcome back. I'm 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Claude Harmon joined by Ryan Chrysler again this week RC 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: I've done podcasts on it. We've done them together about 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: going to the golf course no swing thoughts, because in 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: an ideal world, you want to go to the golf 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: course and just play right. You don't want to be 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 1: thinking so much. You don't want to be playing golf swing. 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: You want to be playing golf, and so in an 9 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: ideal world, you'd go to the golf course and you 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't be thinking about your golf swing. You'd be thinking 11 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: about strategy, you'd be thinking about game plan and all 12 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: of those things. But the reality is, I think the 13 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: majority of the people listening to the pod, they're going 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: to go to the golf course with swing thoughts. They 15 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: want to go to the golf course with swing thoughts. 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: So I thought this week we would say okay, rather 17 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: than tell you don't go to the golf course with 18 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: any swing thoughts. How do you take a swing thought 19 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: to the golf course. I think people take the wrong 20 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: kind of swing thoughts to the golf course. It's all 21 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: mechanics as opposed to feel, and they confuse a swing 22 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: thought with a swing change. So what we're going to 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: talk about today is taking one swing thought to the course, 24 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: how to find it, when to use it, and what 25 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: to do when it stops working. Because again, the ugly 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: truth that nobody really wants to do is not to 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: take any swing thoughts to the golf course. 28 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: Right, we're trying to think of not necessarily well, we're 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: trying to think basically of where to put the ball 30 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: instead of how to get the ball there. Right, So 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 2: a lot of players are thinking how they're going to 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: make their swing work. When we're throwing a football, we're 33 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 2: not thinking about how we're going to throw this football. 34 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: You're reacting as an athlete. You're reacting to where the 35 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: player is the other thing or see. I think that 36 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: people struggle with unlike other sports. I think one of 37 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: the big problems with golf is there's too much time. 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: There's too much time in between action. Right, you hit 39 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: a drive, if you're walking, you're walking to your ball. 40 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: If you're a part you're driving to your cart. But 41 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: again there's there's downtime in between shots. And I think 42 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: one of the things that hurts players is there is 43 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: too much downtime in between shots. I mean, ideally we 44 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: would like you to focus while you're hitting your shot, 45 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: and then soon as that shots over, switch your brain 46 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: off and don't think. But I think what most golfers 47 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: do is from the jump, from the minute they tee 48 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: off the first until the eighteenth, it's just a constant, 49 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 1: constant swing thoughts, swing thought, right, you know, drills, feels, 50 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: all the stuff that you do on the driving range. 51 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: So I wanted to talk today about what makes a 52 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: good swing thought, and I think it's feel and not mechanics. 53 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: Right, We've got some good we got some really good 54 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: thoughts here. A lot of times we kind of get 55 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: lost in the how to make the club move instead 56 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: of what it feels like when it moves correctly, And 57 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: a lot of say that's going to trump anything that 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: happens on the course, meaning that if it feels good, 59 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: most likely we're going to have a good result. 60 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 1: Right. 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: If we can kind of focus on thoughts that bring 62 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 2: that out of us, then I think are on the 63 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: way to playing some smarter golf, some stress free golf. 64 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I think that, you know, one of 65 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,559 Speaker 1: the things that I do in my teaching and instructing 66 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: is I'm trying to give the player whatever we're working on, 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: if it's a backswing change, if it's trying to not 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: have the golf club get too far inside, I'm trying 69 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: to give the player ten to twenty different feels ideas 70 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: of how they could work on one thing right on 71 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: the change we're trying to make. So if the golf 72 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: club is going too much on the inside, the feel 73 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: is going to be for the golf club to work 74 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: a little bit more on the outside. Right. So I 75 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: play this game. When I'm giving lessons, I'm trying to 76 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: give the player as many different ways of feeling it 77 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: as possible because I'm not the player, right, we will 78 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: never be able to get inside of our students' bodies 79 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 1: and know what they're feeling. So I always think it's 80 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: my job to give the players many different ideas, concepts, 81 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: and feels for the one thing we're working on, because 82 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: I know eventually, hopefully i'll say something where the player 83 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: will say, ah, Okay, I like that, I can work 84 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: with that, I can feel that. So also, I think 85 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: there has to be some positivity in the swing thought, right. 86 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I think so many players just talk about what they're 87 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: trying to not do on the golf course. We've talked 88 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: about that from a strategy standpoint, but also if you're 89 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: going to the golf course and the golf clubs is 90 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: getting too much on the inside, you're probably going to 91 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: have a swing thought that is long and probably has 92 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: some commas in it, and that's that's basically a swing manual. 93 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: That's not a swing thought correct. 94 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just trying to to go from a man 95 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: trying not to basically get so complicated out there. Essentially, 96 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 2: when we want to get the player some menicant mechanical 97 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: reasons why we need to do what we need to do, 98 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 2: But when we're playing the game, we need to play 99 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: as an athlete and we just can't be thinking. A 100 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: wise sports psychologist said a long time ago. If we're thinking, 101 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: we're not swinging, and if those swing thoughts become negative 102 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: as in, don't hang back, don't swing over the top, 103 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: we're just sitting the stage for some bad golf. 104 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you're if you're sitting there and you 105 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: know you tend to come over the top, the path 106 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: gets a little bit out in and you're fighting that 107 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: kind of high week right slice, If you if your 108 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: swing thought is don't come over the top, don't come 109 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: over the top. All your brain here is over the top, 110 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: over the top, over the top. Right, So I think 111 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: it's really good. Rather than having these long drawn out 112 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: swing to condense them into one word, find a word 113 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: based off of what you're working on, Find one word 114 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: that is going to kind of help you zone in 115 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 1: on which you do. Because the longer the swing thought, 116 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: the golf swing isn't going to be good. I mean, 117 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: we all see those videos on YouTube on social media 118 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: to where someone's on you know, they always say, I'm 119 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: stuck behind this guy today, it's going to be a 120 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: long day. And you're watching this guy go through his rehearsals, 121 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: his waggles and stuff like that, and you're thinking, there's 122 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: absolutely no way this outcome is going to be good, right. 123 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: I Mean it's funny sometimes when we're hitting golf balls 124 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: on the range in a warm up or in practice 125 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: with DJ, he'll hit a bad shot, he'll shank one, 126 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: he'll hit one sideways, and he'll always say the same thing, 127 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: I stood over that too long, Because the longer I 128 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,559 Speaker 1: stand over it, the outcome isn't going to be really, 129 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: really good, and he used to say that. He started 130 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: saying that really really rud And I mean, I've been 131 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: lucky enough to work with DJ since twenty twelve, and 132 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: it was something that he said early on in the 133 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: time that I've spent with him. He'll hit a bad 134 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: shot and he'll say that I was standing over that 135 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: too long, I was thinking too much. Or he'll sometimes 136 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: hit a bad shot and he'll say it that's okay. 137 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking about it, right, I was. So 138 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: I think having one word that's kind of accessible and 139 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: under two to three seconds, it's a trigger. It can 140 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: be a trigger for you. So give me some good 141 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: terms that you've heard tour players use one words that 142 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: you think would be good for regular golfers to try 143 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: and come up with. What's a good swing thought that 144 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: you've heard? 145 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, like simple ones like smooth, right, trying to smooth. 146 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: Maybe technically we're trying to maybe smooth the transition down 147 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: and so maybe the trigger is just stay smooth throughout 148 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: the swing. 149 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, the change of direction from the backswing to the downswing. 150 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: So that kind of transition from as you turn by 151 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: behind the golf ball and go to start your downswing. 152 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: If that gets really really quick, if that move gets 153 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: really really violent, A great thought for that is just 154 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: think okay, smooth. Another good one, you know, if that 155 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: change of direction gets really really quick and the arms 156 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: can get really really wide or narrow, you could think 157 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: okay width on the downswing. If you're someone that struggles 158 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: with getting behind the golf ball, it's a big difference 159 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: between saying to yourself, Okay, you need to make sure 160 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: right before you hit it. On the golf course, okay, 161 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: I need to make sure my left shoulder kind of 162 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: turns and really gets kind of deep into the backswing, 163 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: and I let that right leg straight and stuff like that. 164 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: I think those are all things that you can do 165 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: on the golf course. I mean on the driving range, 166 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 1: but on a golf course. Maybe it's just if you're 167 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: struggling to get behind the golf ball, if you're struggling 168 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: to load up. Maybe a good one is just turn. Yes, 169 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: just a thought you know right before you know, just 170 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: that thought of okay, turn making or you make that. 171 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: Another good one is finish, right. I think a lot 172 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 1: of players hang back and they they don't get through it, 173 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: and they hit off their back foot. I think finish 174 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: is a good one. Make sure you finish the golf 175 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: swam commit. Commit to the swing that you're making. I mean, 176 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: I think a great one. Or see that if you 177 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: just went out on the golf course and every for 178 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: eighteen holes and every single shot you hit, the swing 179 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: thought was commit. I think that's a fantastic one that 180 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: encompasses a lot of it brings a lot of other 181 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: swing thoughts into one. Just commit to the shot you're hitting. Commit. 182 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, define this shot you can can I visualize it 183 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 2: maybe from the peak head on under the green, or 184 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 2: maybe you can visualize the entire shot from the tee 185 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: all the way to the role. Some people can visualize differently, 186 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: but you know, for me, example commit would be I 187 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: want to commit to this ball starting leptimy target and 188 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 2: it's going to fade on target. 189 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: So some anti examples of swing thoughts that you want 190 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: to leave on the range. Rotate my hips well, keeping 191 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: my head still, maintain lag and then shallow on the 192 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: way down. I mean, you keep my right elbow connected 193 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: and then finish high. Again. These are long drawn out, 194 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: they're technique drills and they really belong and need to 195 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: be left on the range right, not on the first tee, 196 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: not on the golf course. 197 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, one of my swing thoughts is finished high because 198 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: I tend to kind of crunch down a little bit 199 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 2: too much, maybe with irons, So I just try to 200 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: finish high and try to hit the shot high. So 201 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 2: maybe not one word there, but finish has a good one. 202 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: But trying to keep my elbow connected. And that's just 203 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: way too y And. 204 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: If it's got commas in it, it's going to be 205 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: tough for you to execute on the golf course. So 206 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: how do we find that swing thought on the range? 207 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: Because the pre round range set and really only has 208 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: one job. It's just to get you warmed up. You're 209 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: not gonna have time to fix anything. You've got to 210 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: figure out what you're doing that day. Yeah. Yeah, some 211 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: days you're gonna have good tempo, some days you're gonna 212 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: have a good turn, some days you're gonna have that commitment. 213 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: But the swing thought that you have has to match 214 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: what you're doing on the range today for this round, 215 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: not yesterday, not for the perfect golf swinging, not the 216 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: one that your coach gave you in the last lesson. 217 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're looking to basically turn our brain into some 218 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: sort of receiving concept where we can really feel the 219 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: result of the shot. 220 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: Right. 221 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: We don't want to think about how the result happened. 222 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 2: We want to kind of really internalize and get a 223 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: good feel of what happened. And it doesn't have to 224 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: be correct, because the ball is going where we wanted 225 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: to go. And again, the ball does not lie. So 226 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: I'd much rather have a feeling that we internalize that 227 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: we kind of latch onto the sins of ball where 228 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 2: I'm going And honestly, if it doesn't even look like 229 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: what we're trying to accomplish technically, but the ball is 230 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 2: going where it's going, I'm gonna take that feel all day. 231 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: It's funny. You'll have players hit a shot and hit 232 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: a shot you know that gives them twenty feet in 233 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: for birdie, And I've been on the course with players 234 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: and I'll say a good shot, and I'll say, yeah, man, 235 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the swing didn't feel great, but I'm like, yeah, 236 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: but the shot was good, right, And the only thing 237 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: that matters is the number you put on the scorecard. Right, 238 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: So even if your golf swing doesn't necessarily feel perfect, 239 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: if the outcome is good, that's the objective of right. 240 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,359 Speaker 1: Playing the game. 241 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: Right, that's all we want. That's all we want. 242 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 1: So the test on the rain, I love to ask 243 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: Sip the last five balls you hit on the range 244 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: are kind of your diagnostic before you get to the 245 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: first I think everybody pretty much if you're warming up 246 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: before you go to the golf course, if you're going 247 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: on the range, you're probably going to have a pretty 248 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: good idea of where your golf swing is that that day, 249 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: that moment in time, as opposed to where you want 250 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: your golf swing to do. One of the things you 251 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: and I always tell juniors players and stuff that are 252 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: working on their mechanics, that are working on their technique. 253 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: I'll say, hey, when's your next tournament? Well, you know, 254 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: I was supposed to play next week, but I'm gonna 255 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: go ahead and pull out of that tournament because I'm 256 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: still working on my swing. You and I always say, no, no, 257 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: that's where you want to go play. You want to 258 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: go play, because I think most golfers are trying to 259 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: wait until everything is perfect, and it's on the range 260 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: never perfect to go play. So I think thinking about 261 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: your warm up, logically, one use your warm up first 262 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: and foremost to get warmed up to get your body 263 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: moving and stuff like that. And then you know, if 264 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: you're let's say you're thirty to thirty minutes to an 265 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: hour before U t off to go play around, there 266 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: probably isn't a lot that you're going to And especially 267 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: let's say you're just a regular recreational golfer, non tour player, 268 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: so your instructor, your coach isn't there standing behind you, 269 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, because that's what my job is on the 270 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: PGA Tour, right on live on Europe Asia, wherever the 271 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: player is playing. My job is kind of a second 272 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: set of eyes for players to where I'm going to 273 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: stand behind a player that I'm working with, and hopefully 274 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say anything. Hopefully i don't have 275 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: to say anything. Hopefully all I'm doing is looking at 276 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: the checklist of things that we've been working on in 277 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: the driving range, and I'm trying to if the club's 278 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: a little bit inside, hey just keep it a little 279 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: bit more or from whatever. That is. Simple stuff, simple stuff. 280 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: But again this is all in a range setting. So 281 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: the average handicapped golfer doesn't have their instructor or coach 282 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: standing behind them when they warm up, you. 283 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: Know, as a coach too back at home here, you know, 284 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: I'm trying to make sure that the player owns whatever 285 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: we're trying to change, or we're gone, and so they 286 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: have to kind of come up with their own explanation, 287 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: their own thoughts and feels. And if I give them 288 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: five to ten different versions what I'm trying to say, 289 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: hopefully one of those connects and the take ownership of 290 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: how we're trying to feel, and then we can roll 291 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 2: into that kind of one trigger, one word kind of swing, 292 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: thought and feel. 293 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: I've said this before on the pub, but I try. 294 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: And when I'm working with specifically someone that's playing golf 295 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: for a living, you know, a professional golfer, I'm trying 296 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: to speak to them like I hear Formula one race 297 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: engineers speak to the driver really really measured, really really concise, 298 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: you know, not a ton of information, just really really measured. 299 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: The way I'm speaking to them is very specific. I'm 300 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: trying not to if they're not hitting it good, I'm 301 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: trying not to panic because I don't want them to panic, right, 302 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: And so, how do you think is the best way 303 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: to go about figuring out what you have for that 304 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: day on the range? In the warm up, like, give 305 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: me some tools that we can give the listeners say, listen, Okay. 306 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: The other thing that we say all the time to 307 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: specifically a lot of our junior golfers, is when's the 308 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: last time you went to the range, warmed up fifteen 309 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: to thirty minutes a limited amount of balls, and then 310 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: went to the golf course. Because I've never seen a 311 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: time where golfers want to go and do practice, full 312 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: practice sessions for one, two, three, four hours where you're 313 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: grind and grind and grinding and then you go play, right, 314 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: So we always try and build in what jun say, listen, 315 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: you need one day a week that is your play day. 316 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: It's not a practice day. You're going to go to 317 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: the driving range. You're you're going to play golf, So 318 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: you're going to go to the driving range and you 319 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: are just going to warm up. You're not going to 320 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: go to the driving range for a full blown practice session. Right. 321 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean simple tools that I'm looking forward, especially 322 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 2: when you're about to go plays like little five ball tests. 323 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: You know, we're trying to get five wedges on the road. 324 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: What you know, tempo, turn, smooth with commit, right, which 325 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: one of those words help you which you're narrowing down 326 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: your swing thoughts into. So if you're a player that 327 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: has your three or four swing thoughts, three or four 328 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: checklists that you're trying to work on, write those down 329 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: and then say, okay, can I condense this entire idea 330 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: concept into a one word feel. 331 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: Word feel trigger? Yes, anything to keep it simple, Keep 332 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 2: it simple. I think another good tool to use would 333 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 2: be just to visualize those opening holes and just work 334 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: on internalizing what it feels like. We're the dog leg 335 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 2: left here, number one at the Iridian dog leg left, 336 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: a little left or right with a bunker out there, 337 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: and maybe the winds left or right, and we're just 338 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: trying to internalize that feel. How are we going to 339 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: get this ball down the fairway without mechanical swing thoughts? 340 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: What does it feel like it? Is it that down 341 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 2: a smooth finish? 342 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: Is it that a lot of Another one I think 343 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: is really good on the golf course is the visualization part, right, 344 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: You know, if you can visualize kind of how your 345 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: ball is curving. You know when when my dad worked 346 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: with Greg Norman, Greg was, you know, his number one 347 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: in the world. He was the alpha male. Everything about 348 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: was visualization, right, he'd kind of draw a line with 349 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: his eyes and you could watch his head. He'd go 350 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: from the ball to kind of a spot to where 351 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: he wanted the ball to start and kind of come 352 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: back like that. And he was very, very meticulous, very 353 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 1: methodical in that, so much so that in ninety six 354 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: when he had the big lead at Augusta and he 355 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: was playing against Nick Faldo and he had that historic collapse. 356 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: If you go back and watch that Sunday round, Greg's 357 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: playing terrible and he's taking an eternity to hit every shot, 358 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: but he's standing over it. And my dad asked him 359 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: about that, and he said, I spent my entire career 360 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: visualizing my shots. And he said the reason why I 361 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 1: was taking so long on the golf course is I 362 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: couldn't see anything. I couldn't see a shot, So I 363 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: was trying to visualize the shot that I was going 364 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: to hit, but everything was so scrambled. My brain was 365 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: so all over the place. He told my dad, listen, 366 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: it's the first time like the shot he hit on 367 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: Greg hit on nine, right, he knows that if the 368 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: ball lands on the front part of the ninth green 369 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: at Augusta National, that it's going to roll back down 370 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: to his feet. Right, He's played there enough times, he 371 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: knows that he stood over that shot for an eternity 372 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: and then hit the worst shot you've ever seen, got 373 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: on the front edge and rolled all the way back down. 374 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 1: So you've got one of the greatest golfers of that 375 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: era who used visualization. But when things went really south 376 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: for him on the golf course against Nick Faldo trying 377 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: to win the Masters, he couldn't see anything, He couldn't 378 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: find a swing feel, he couldn't make it more simple 379 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: in his head because everything on the golf course was 380 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: moving so fast, but white noise was so loud. 381 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I remember watching that man. I was twenty 382 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 2: years ago, Right about twenty years ago, Yeah, maybe thirty. Yeah. 383 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: It happens to the best, so it's gonna happen more 384 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: often to the people that are not the best. And 385 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: we got to think of ways to really internalize what 386 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: it feels like when things are working, not necessarily why 387 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 2: or how things are working. 388 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: I like that. I think people really want to delve 389 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: into more of the why part, as opposed to just saying, Okay, 390 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: this is what's working, this is the feel that I've 391 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: got and I'm just going to go play with this feel. 392 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean, one of the things that I'm always trying 393 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: to do when I work with tour players is build 394 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: a foundation, build a golf swing, build a movement pattern 395 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: that they can go out and play with that they 396 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: don't have to go out and think about. I think 397 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I've been successful in my 398 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: career is I've tried to make the on course thought 399 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: process simpler as opposed to just adding more fuel to 400 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: an already raging dumpster fire. Right, So, a pre shot routine, 401 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: we hear a lot about that, but a pre shot 402 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: routine is something that you can practice. A pre shot 403 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: routine is something that you can work on. But your 404 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: pre shot routine is kind of going to have three 405 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: phases to it. Right, You're going to be behind the 406 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: golf ball. Standing behind the golf ball, and that's where 407 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: you're trying to kind of acquire the target. Figure out 408 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: where you're trying to start the golf ball, Visualize where 409 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: that is. Then as you're stepping in, you know, you're 410 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: trying to get comfortable, work on your alignment, and then 411 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: that's where I think you can start to introduce after 412 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: you've picked the target out, after you've committed to what 413 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: you're shot, you're trying to hit, what shape you're trying 414 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: to hit, where you're trying to start it, where you're 415 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: trying to finish it, and then you get in and 416 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: get comfortable, and then your one word, last look up 417 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: is the one thought and then you swing. What we 418 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: don't want is that process take a really long time. 419 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: We don't want you to stand over it because I 420 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: watch players sometimes RC and the longer they stand over it, 421 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: none of the faults are positive, right. And if you 422 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: ask a player and I've done this, I'm like, okay, 423 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: talk to me about what you're thinking here with a 424 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: seven iron from the middle of the fairway, and it's 425 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: always the same thing. Well, I mean, I don't want 426 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: to hit it here and I'm trying to not hit 427 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: it there, and I'm trying to feel that, and you're like, 428 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: none of that has any kind of positivity about it, 429 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: you know. That's that's one thing that we see a 430 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 1: lot good players glance at the ball, stare at the target, 431 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: Glance at the ball, stare at the target. I mean, 432 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: whereas I think players sometimes get out on the golf 433 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: course and they're not even looking at the target. If 434 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: they do, they maybe look once, but then they spend 435 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: an eternity looking at the golf ball, kind of going 436 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: through it. And when you see that, you know they're 437 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: going through a paragraph in their head of things, checkpoints, drills, 438 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: all that stuff while they're trying to hit a shot 439 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: on the golf course where there's a real outcome on 440 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: the driving rings. There's no there's no consequence for missing 441 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: one right. Right, You've got an entire bucket of golf balls. 442 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: Do you miss one, you just pull another one over. 443 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: But it's that shot that you're hitting on the golf 444 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: course one. That's the only ball you're playing. And if 445 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: you miss that ball, you know, well, I mean, hit 446 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: it and go find it right. You've got to go 447 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: find it right. You can't have this paragraph of information 448 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: that you're trying to work on right. 449 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of coaches even that do 450 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 2: this where they just put a lot of material into 451 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: the pre shot routine. Before every shot, there's a decision 452 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 2: routine that we need to go through, and then the 453 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: pre shot routine that is it, and the decisions need 454 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: to be made before the pre shot roaster. 455 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: I think every shot you hit, you know, should have 456 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: five core principles. Intent, What are you trying to do? 457 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: Tell me what you're trying to do on this shot? Okay? Purpose, 458 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: why are you trying to do this? Tell me why 459 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: you're trying to do this in your golf swaying? Why 460 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: are you trying to hit this shot? Okay? Focus? What 461 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: do I need to have? That? Focus of what do 462 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: I need to do to do this? Then you have 463 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: to have you know, a process, a plan so that 464 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: you can then go execute. And I think if you're 465 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: missing one of those, that's where the white noise can 466 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: really come in. So the intent is, okay, where are 467 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,400 Speaker 1: we trying to start this golf ball? Okay? I want 468 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 1: to start it here? Okay, okay, So then why are 469 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: you doing that? Okay, Well that's the shot I hit? Okay, okay, 470 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: what focus do you need to have to do that? 471 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: And then tell me the plan the process that you're 472 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 1: going to do to hit this and then stand up 473 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: and execute. So those four things to me would be 474 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: in the information gathering phase, right, you're doing all of 475 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: those and further you kind of get in acquire the target. Right, 476 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: So ask yourself, what am I trying to do with 477 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: this shot, what's the reason why yep, what's the focus 478 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: I need for this shot? And then what's the plan, 479 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: what's the process? And then once you've answered those, now 480 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: it's time to execute. So then you put your encyclopedia 481 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: of your dictionary of swing thoughts into simple, concise, one 482 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: word phrases and you pick one that's going to work. Right. 483 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: So you know, if we're talking over time here, like 484 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 2: that didn't figure gathering and decision making process that probably 485 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 2: should take thirty seconds, but let's just give it a minute. 486 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 2: But the appreciat routine, you know, target only start to line up, 487 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 2: settle into the shot. Your one thought, Man, that's gotta 488 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: be quick past ten seconds. So we're talking like just 489 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: the let's give it like in a conservation amount of time, 490 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 2: like sixty seconds. 491 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: Like if you're a last to hit in your group, right, 492 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: you should be answering those four questions before it's your 493 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: turn to hit. Right while the other player is getting 494 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: his yardage and then the next guy is going to go, 495 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: you should be standing there going, Okay, what am I 496 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: going to try and do with this shot? Where am 497 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: I going to try and hit it? Where am I 498 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: going to try and start it. Why am I going 499 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: to do that? Well, that's what I was doing on 500 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: the range, and that's the shot that I've got right now. Okay, 501 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: where's my focus need to be for this shot? And 502 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: then what is the process it's going to help me 503 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 1: do that? So then when it becomes your turn to play, 504 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: you've already gone through the four steps. Now you're getting 505 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 1: ready to execute, you should by then have a really 506 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: good idea of what club you're gonna pull. You know, 507 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: I was working with a junior I'm Jack Martin the 508 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: other day and we were we were kind of going 509 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: through some of this stuff of you know, trying to 510 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: focus less on his golf swing and trying to get 511 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: him into you know, thinking about playing, think about strategy, 512 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: and thinking about the actual playing of the game as 513 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: post to golf swing. And we were I mean, he 514 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: probably had, you know, a shot of like one hundred 515 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: and fifty yards and stuff, and so he stood behind 516 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: it and then he went over to the bag. So 517 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: he took the yardage. Then he went over to the 518 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: bag and they brought over to maybe three clubs because 519 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: he was in between clubs, And I said, can we 520 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: start that process over? Can you stand behind this golf ball, 521 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: look at the yardage, look at where the when conditions 522 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: are and stuff, and can you commit to something before 523 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: you go to the bag and bring over And I 524 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: think he said it really kind of helped clear up 525 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: a lot of this. I'm like, listen, what do you 526 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: need to do for the shot? What do you want 527 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: to do with this shot? Right? Okay, so make your 528 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: decision of what you're going to do. Then go to 529 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: the bag and pull the club because I think if 530 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: you go to the back listen. I think people do 531 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: that because they see tour players doing it, right. They 532 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: see good players kind of go to the t box 533 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: on part three and it's into the win. They've got 534 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: a couple of clubs and stuff like that. But I 535 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: think a really good thing to try and force yourself 536 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: to do is make those decisions first, yes, then trust 537 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: the fact that you've made that decision, own it. I 538 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: mean that's the other thing, right. I think it's hard 539 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: for a lot of players to commit to a shot, 540 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: to a shape, to a target because they're indecisive and 541 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: they they want to have this like mental talk with themselves. Yes, 542 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: So I said to Jack, listen, make the decision now right, 543 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: you can make the decision without a club in your hand. 544 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: It's I said, what's the decision you're trying to make 545 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: right now? And he said, you know, I'm in between 546 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: chipping an eight and you know three quarter eight and 547 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: trying to hit a nine and we were hitting, and 548 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: that's because we were He was, you know, do I 549 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: nuke the to try and get it there? Or do 550 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: I hit you know, little three quarter knockdown eight? And 551 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: I said, okay, well, what's the difficulty on this shot? 552 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: Right now? The lie is flat, You've got a good lie. 553 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: The difficulty it was a windy day here in Florida 554 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: or are the wind's coming off the ocean in the 555 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: inner coastal and it's blown twenty five to thirty into 556 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: his face. So the difficulty is judging what the wind's 557 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: going to do. Right That's the internal self talk that 558 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: he's having with himself. And I'm like, solve the problem 559 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: now and make a decision and say, okay, based off 560 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: of what the wind was doing. I said, listen, talk 561 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: me through what happens with the nine into a You know, 562 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: you can get nine there, but you've got to smash 563 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: it because it's into the wind. You're gonna swing really, 564 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: really hard. More than likely if you miss it, the 565 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: ball's going to balloon and get crushed by the wind. 566 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: And I said, listen, I think the eight three quarter 567 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: bring the flight down. You know, Jack's gonna play Division 568 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: one college golf next year, so he's a good player, right, 569 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: he can hit that shot, right. And I said, Okay, 570 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: you're happy with the decision you've made. Yeah, I said, 571 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: now go to the bag And the only thought is 572 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to bag to pick the eight iron up 573 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: because I want to try and bring the flight down 574 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: and I want to try and and not have the 575 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: ball be affected by the win. Doing all of that 576 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: in advance, Yes, then make the decision, go through your 577 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: pre shot routine and get yeah. 578 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 2: I mean, ideally, we're tracking all of our stats. We 579 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 2: have a good indication of where we're going to go 580 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 2: between the yardage buckets if the pins are favorable to 581 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: us already, so we're just trying to make those decisions 582 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 2: happen before the Clotte Harmon pre shot routine begins. 583 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously I talked about this before. We don't want 584 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: you taking any swing thoughts of the golf course. Bob 585 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: Rotella the sports psychologists great books out there, He'll let 586 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't want players going to the golf course with 587 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: any swing thought. 588 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 2: Yes, but famous for Sanda. 589 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: He says, if you are going to take a swing 590 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: thought to the golf course with what I don't want 591 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: you to do, you have to keep it for eighteen holes. 592 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: Might keep that, which is really really hard. Yeah. Right, 593 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: So if you are going to what do you do 594 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: when a swing thought starts stops working right normal to 595 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: mid round? You know, smooth that thought worked for you know, 596 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: the first six holes, and then you know it stops working. 597 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: Your thought hasn't necessarily failed you. Maybe it's just gone 598 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: a little stale. So I think the mistake that everybody 599 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: adds is they abandon the swing thought that they've got 600 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: the one, or they keep it and now they just 601 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: start adding to it. Right, so now they go, Okay, 602 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: I was just thinking smooth for the first six holes. 603 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: You know that that that tempo rhythm, and I made 604 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: a couple of bad swings. So now I'm going to 605 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: keep the rhythm, but now I'm going to add more. 606 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: And then there's two swing thoughts, and then it becomes three. 607 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: Three becomes the checklists, and then the round is then 608 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: you're playing golf swing again. Right, You're you're immediately into 609 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: playing golf swing. The concept of maybe the thought is 610 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: let's replace that swing thought, as opposed to stacking multiple 611 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: swing thoughts, multiple ideas, multiple concepts while I'm in the game, 612 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: while I'm playing golf, while I'm in the round where 613 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: I should be thinking about scoring. That's where I think 614 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: if you can condense the multiple swing thoughts you have 615 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: into one word descriptions, you can maybe then interchange them. Okay, 616 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,719 Speaker 1: smooth isn't working, So let me think about tempo, let 617 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,719 Speaker 1: me think about rhythm. What are some other ways that 618 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 1: I can give myself one word thoughts that kind of 619 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: say the same thing. 620 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, So let's say, example, we're starting chunk, maybe some wedges, 621 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 2: we kind of maybe stuck behind it. We need to 622 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 2: get through, or we need to get high, little things 623 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 2: like that. We're just we're just changing kind of the 624 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 2: essence of that thought with one word, with the one 625 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 2: word replacement, just to kind of nudge the ship in 626 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 2: the other direction. Not a complete drastic overhaul, bullet pointed 627 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 2: checklist of multiple things that are just going to take 628 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 2: away our energy and focus from where we need to 629 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 2: put the ball instead of how to put the ball. 630 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 2: There just need to still keep the focus on where 631 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 2: we're going. 632 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: We always try and talk to players about, you know, 633 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: non negotiables. You know, I did a podcast on it. 634 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 2: YEP. 635 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: I think a real non negotiable is don't just stack 636 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: swing thoughts on top of each other. One, two, three, 637 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: four swing thoughts. Don't think about on the golf course. 638 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: I need to change this right again, Those those words 639 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: have power. Yes, like the words that you're saying to 640 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: yourself your self talk have power. Don't hit it out 641 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: of bounds, don't hit it in the water, don't miss 642 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: the green. Yes, there's a big difference between that and 643 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: hit the fair way. 644 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. They take away energy. They take away power from 645 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 2: other positive things we should be powering up, like our 646 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 2: mind and our ability to kind of smooth out the 647 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 2: round or deflect any of the bad shots. It just 648 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 2: kind of becomes these power second thoughts where we just 649 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 2: kind of keep going into a spiral. 650 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: So I said at the beginning, the goal is to 651 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: go to the golf course with no swing thoughts. Right. 652 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: Some of the best shots they just happen, right, They're 653 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: not You're not thinking about anything. It's pure target, pure reaction. 654 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: Another way to think about it is a swing thought 655 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: is kind of a set of training wheels. Sometimes you're 656 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: gonna need them and sometimes you don't. 657 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that. Yeah, that's a good thought. 658 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: DJ is the ultimate example of seaball hit ball. Right, 659 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: not a lot of time, not a lot of thought process, 660 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: but the progression of that beginners are going to need, 661 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: you know, high handicap golfers, beginners, they're going to need 662 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot of swing thoughts to just make contact right 663 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: because they're just trying to get the golf ball into 664 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: the air. A mid handicap player would be kind of 665 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: down to one or two swing thoughts per swing on 666 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: the range. You know, advance would be one simple feel 667 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: and then elite would be nothing. Just turn your brain off. 668 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: Seaball hit ball. The progression isn't finding a better thought 669 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: and adding more thoughts. The goal is hopefully that if 670 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 1: you can learn this trust, if you learn this skill, 671 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: you're just going to need fewer of them. 672 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's either it's very difficult for that high handicapper 673 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 2: just to keep things so simple and not complex, because 674 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 2: they see what everybody else is doing and they think 675 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 2: they need to think more or try harder. Well, we're 676 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,240 Speaker 2: actually trying to tap into that inner athlete, the athlete 677 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 2: that can shoot a free throw. Right, I'm not telling 678 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 2: you how to shoot the free throw. You're just shooting 679 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,720 Speaker 2: the free throw. So it is a difficult game in golf, 680 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 2: but we really need to tap into that brain power 681 00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 2: where you're more accepting, you're more kind of focused on 682 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 2: that one where trigger little things like that where you're 683 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 2: not going to judge yourself on how bad you are. 684 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 2: We're judging yourself and how good your process is, how 685 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 2: good your pre shot routine is, and how simple you've 686 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 2: made the decisions. 687 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: So I think the challenge on the golf course is 688 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: to start small and say, Okay, I'm going to go 689 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: to the first team. I'm going to go from the 690 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: driving range, and I'm going to go over the first 691 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: and my number one goal is to play this first 692 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: hole with no swing thoughts at all. Just pick the 693 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: target again, intent, purpose, focus, process, then execute. So see 694 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: if you can go one hole at the start of 695 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: year round and commit to having no swing thoughts. Just 696 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,879 Speaker 1: play the hole, look at the strategy, look at where 697 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: you need to hit the golf ball off the tee 698 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: use that warm up as feedback to saying, Okay, I'm 699 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: on the driving range. I'd love to hit draws, but 700 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,919 Speaker 1: I didn't really hit any draw I mean, I see 701 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: players never hit one draw on the golf on the 702 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: driving range, right in the warm up, and then they 703 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: go to the golf course and now they're gonna aim 704 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: down the right, they're gonna close stance off, and they're 705 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 1: gonna try and hit a high draw. They haven't hit 706 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: one in practice, they haven't hit one in the warm up, 707 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: they rarely hit one. But now they're going to go 708 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: to the golf course and attempt to do something technically 709 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: mechanically that they don't do on the range. So if 710 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: you can just start small, play one hole with no 711 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: swing thought, play one hole with just pure strategy, you know, 712 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: that's a start. If you could build that out to 713 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,879 Speaker 1: two holes, yes, that would be amazing. Listen, it's going 714 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: to be a work in progress. It's going to be 715 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: really hard to do that. It's a little bit like 716 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, I've tried meditation before, right. I know people 717 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,280 Speaker 1: that use meditation, it's it's a big part of their life. 718 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: It's helped their life. And I've tried it before, and 719 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: it's really really hard for me to slow my brain down. Right. 720 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 1: So from a meditation standpoint, if you can just try 721 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 1: and quiet your mind for short periods of time, you know, 722 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: if you can go three four holes in a row, 723 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: that's execution, right, total execution. The bad shot that the 724 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: bad shot that you fear without a thought is really 725 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: no worse than the bad shot with the wrong shot, right. 726 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 1: And I think I'm always trying to say to players, listen, 727 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: build If you do this, you're going to build that 728 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 1: trust with yourself. I always do this in practice and 729 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 1: on the golf course. I talk to juniors about walking 730 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: up to their golf ball. What's every junior do they 731 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: walk up to the golf ball they've hit the ball 732 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: in the military, the first thing is they walk up 733 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: the golf ball, get the rangefinder out, and figure out 734 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: what the number is. I always say to players, listen, 735 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: bring your rangefinder over, stand behind the golf ball, ask 736 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,920 Speaker 1: yourself how far it is. How far do you think 737 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: this is one fifty five? Okay, if it's two hundred, 738 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 1: that's a problem. But if it's one fifty eight, or 739 00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: if it's one fifty, you're pretty close. Right, and you 740 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: can build that trust with yourself to say, listen, I 741 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: can make good decisions on the golf course. I can 742 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: eyeball this yardage and get a feel for what it 743 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: is and then use the technology then use the data 744 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 1: to verify and confirm what should now if you're twenty 745 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: yards out, if you're fifteen yards out, you need to 746 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: go to the range and work on that. Right. You 747 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: need to go to the range and just stand there 748 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: and go okay, let me look at all the flags 749 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 1: on this driving range and go okay, from here, how 750 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: far is that? Then go for it. That's a trainable skill. 751 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 1: But sure, I think most golfers never do the work 752 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 1: to build any trust with themselves, so they don't trust 753 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,359 Speaker 1: their decisions. They're constantly, you know, they're hitting shots where 754 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: they're not fully committed because they don't they didn't really 755 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: buy into the shot that they were trying to hit. 756 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: They really didn't buy into the club that they chose. Right, 757 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:50,439 Speaker 1: They're hoping to hit the number that they're hitting by 758 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: hitting an absolute flush, nuke smash nine iron that's right 759 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,839 Speaker 1: in the center of the face, and if I catch 760 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: it absolutely perfect, I'm going to get it where I'm 761 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: trying to go on to the green. So I think 762 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: doing things that build that trust and say to yourself, listen, 763 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 1: I just played the first hole with no swing thoughts, right, 764 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: and I do that again. Can I try and play 765 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,879 Speaker 1: now the second hole with no swing thoughts, just targets. Yeah. 766 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 2: I think you know one thing I might add to 767 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,439 Speaker 2: what you're staying there is, you know the juniors always 768 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 2: quick to kind of shoot the pin and kind of 769 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 2: build their plan from there. Well you could you can 770 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 2: basically build a plan for that shot without shooting the pen. 771 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 2: Meaning like if we've got a back left pin and 772 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,080 Speaker 2: there might be a tier we got to clear to 773 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 2: get to that back shelf, we just want to get 774 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 2: somewhere pin high right right. We're not going to take 775 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 2: any risk. We're not going to try to hit a 776 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 2: fade that starts left to the green and comes back 777 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 2: to the pin, right, So I don't really need to 778 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 2: shoot the pin per se. What's the number to carry 779 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 2: the tier. Let's say it's one forty five, the pin's 780 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 2: back one sixty. The shot I'm trying to HiT's one fifty, right. 781 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: I mean I think that if if you can build 782 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: that and work on that it does have a lot 783 00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: of power. I've talked in the past about for me, 784 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: there's three phases of practice, three phases of the way 785 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: you do things. On the driving range. There's your technique phase. 786 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: There's your transfer or bridge phase, your execution phase. So 787 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: in practice, technique phase is lots of swing thoughts, lots 788 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: of mechanics. Okay, that's the driving range only you don't 789 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 1: really need a target. You're trying to build a pattern. 790 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: You think all you want it's the experimental kitchen. I mean, 791 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,880 Speaker 1: the point of being there is to try out different thoughts, 792 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: different ideas, different feels, and where the ball goes. Really 793 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 1: isn't that important in the technique phase because you're trying 794 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: to change a movement pattern. You're trying to change what 795 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: your golf swing, which your body is doing in motion. 796 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 1: A golf swing is going to be over in kind 797 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,680 Speaker 1: of a second night half, right, So when you're in 798 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 1: technique phase on the rain, you know that's where you 799 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 1: want to be thrown out all these ideas. You know 800 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,399 Speaker 1: at yourself, hey, what about having the club work here 801 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: and stuff like? You can to have as many of those, right. 802 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 1: The transfer phase with the bridge phase is where you 803 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,880 Speaker 1: say to yourself. Okay, I can quantify that through video, 804 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,240 Speaker 1: through other measuring devices, through my coach. Okay, my backswing 805 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: is better now. My backswing is shorter, my backswing is 806 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 1: less inside, my backswing is less outside. Right, my stance 807 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,760 Speaker 1: is why, whatever it is, my grip is stronger. Okay. 808 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,879 Speaker 1: The transfer phase on the driving range is okay, can 809 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,400 Speaker 1: I take that one swing thought, pick out a target 810 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,759 Speaker 1: and see if I can trust when I introduce the 811 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: target if I can trust myself to stay with that 812 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,120 Speaker 1: swing thought? Right? One feel? Only you know anything more 813 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 1: than that, You're going back into technique phase, right, which 814 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: is fine if you need that. Think about it as 815 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,839 Speaker 1: three separate rooms. There's the technique room, there's the tr 816 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: it's for a bridge room, and then there's the execution room, right, 817 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: and these are all things that you do on the 818 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,600 Speaker 1: golf course. So you've worked on your technique, You've worked 819 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 1: on all these swing thoughts. I think the transfer bridge 820 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,240 Speaker 1: phase is to say, okay, can I now have one 821 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: swing thought, pick a target out? And now that I've 822 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 1: picked my target out, can I trust it and keep it? 823 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:26,319 Speaker 1: Or do I go and revert back to what I 824 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: always do? Does the swing change the positions, the mechanics 825 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 1: do they break down. If they do, you need to 826 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 1: go back into the technique room because it's not there yet. 827 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 1: You haven't owned it yet, right, you don't. You can't 828 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 1: do it when the target is involved. Right you go, 829 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 1: you revert back. And then the last phase RC is 830 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 1: the execution phase, the execution room. Again, all of this 831 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,959 Speaker 1: on the driving range in practice, ideally, no swing thought, 832 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: where's my target? You know? On the range, where's my target? 833 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,239 Speaker 1: Where am I trying to start this golf ball. I've 834 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,280 Speaker 1: done the work in the technique phase in the technique 835 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: room to change my back swing to get it wider. 836 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: I know that I can keep that pattern change when 837 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: I put a target in. Okay, now can I throw 838 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: all that out and just target? Commit? Go right? Right? 839 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 2: I think you know we're critical of our swing and 840 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 2: technique phase. We're critical of our results process in the 841 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: transfer phase, whether it's like a five ball challenge under 842 00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 2: duress or a time clock. And then when you're in 843 00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 2: the execution phase, the criticism happens in our process, our 844 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 2: decision making process, because we got we got to let 845 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 2: go of the result. Right, We can kind of judge 846 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 2: the result, but we're here to play golf. We're not 847 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:54,320 Speaker 2: here to fix our golf swing. We're trying to be athletic. 848 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 2: And if the result of a shot is bad, somewhere 849 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,840 Speaker 2: in our process of that shot and our focus somewhere 850 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,279 Speaker 2: in the in the transfer phase where we' that's the 851 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 2: reason why the shot didn't come off. Because we're human, 852 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 2: not every swing's gonna be perfect. 853 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,240 Speaker 1: I've said this before. As soon as you introduce a target, 854 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 1: your brain will scramble and go into survival mode, right, 855 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 1: and you will start judging everything that you're doing based 856 00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: off of the outcome and the result. So that's why 857 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,839 Speaker 1: you want to do this. In this middle phase is 858 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: transfer a bridge phase. Okay, I can quantify that my 859 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: back swing looks better. It's not so much inside, it's 860 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,239 Speaker 1: a better spot. Okay, I've quantified the fact that I 861 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 1: can take one swing thought and hit my target, hit 862 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: my shape and something like that. So then I can practice. Okay, 863 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 1: let me throw all that out target, commit go. I 864 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: mean the progression of this is fewer thoughts over time, 865 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, not better thoughts, just fewer figure out and 866 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: then you so after you've worked the technique, after you've 867 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: been able to pick a target out and hit the 868 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 1: shot with one swing thought and the technique holds up, 869 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,759 Speaker 1: and then you are in execution phase in your practice. 870 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 1: I think then it's going to be easier for you 871 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: to commit when you're on the golf course. Yeah, if 872 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,359 Speaker 1: you've done the work on the range. I think it's 873 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: easier when you go on the golf course. 874 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 2: And you're giving yourself a pass on the result too, 875 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 2: if you're just judging yourself in that process, if it 876 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 2: didn't take enough time to think about where the plan is, 877 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,760 Speaker 2: little things like that, didn't notice the wind, didn't notice 878 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,720 Speaker 2: what the other putt did when the other player putted, 879 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 2: little things like that. 880 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:43,360 Speaker 1: So some takeaways one swing thought, simple, field based, positive, 881 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 1: one word right, and then you're going to take from 882 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,840 Speaker 1: the golf course or to the golf course from the 883 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,720 Speaker 1: range what you have that day, not what you hope 884 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: to have in three months when you've refined your technique, 885 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: because you know you can't play golf in a laboratory. 886 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 1: You have to get out. You got to get the 887 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: boat out of the harbor and see if you can 888 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 1: sail in the open ocean. And if everybody can sail 889 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,160 Speaker 1: the boat in the harbor, right, there's no waves, it's protected, 890 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,880 Speaker 1: you're not really going to be going that fast. But 891 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: can you get out on the on the on the 892 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: water and do this? So find what you've got that 893 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: day and then pick a one word answer, a one 894 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 1: word phrase to try and take. And the goal is 895 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: to aim for no thoughts at all. Right, if you 896 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 1: wanted to think about if you're going to play Saturday Sunday, right, 897 00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,880 Speaker 1: and you're someone that practices during the week, right, the 898 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 1: work happens during the week on the practice sessions, right 899 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,919 Speaker 1: on the range. Saturday Sunday, that's when you go play 900 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: the game. That's when you go play golf. So college 901 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: football plays on Saturday, NFL play on Sunday. Once they 902 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,239 Speaker 1: get to the game that they're playing, the work is 903 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 1: the work. They've got what they've got at that point, 904 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: there's no more practice. They have to go play the game. 905 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 1: So playing the game and playing golf means trusting the 906 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 1: work that you're doing with one feel, one thought at most, 907 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 1: and the goal is to get eventually to none. 908 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 2: Exactly. If we're focused on accepting what we have for 909 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 2: that day, we're open to challenge. Right. If we're always 910 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,720 Speaker 2: focused on what we're trying to do or the reasons 911 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,640 Speaker 2: why we're trying to do it, and if we're kind 912 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 2: of locked into what we've done in the past, we 913 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 2: want to when we're playing golf, we gotta be ready 914 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:44,279 Speaker 2: for that day. 915 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: The other thing I think r C would be playing 916 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,840 Speaker 1: golf is problem solving. Yes, but you're trying. You're trying 917 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: to solve this puzzle, right yep. And you can't solve 918 00:50:55,560 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 1: the puzzle on the golf course in the game by 919 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,239 Speaker 1: more swing thoughts, by adding more because number one, you're 920 00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 1: gonna start taking longer, right, your preshut routeam's going to 921 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,240 Speaker 1: get longer. The self talk isn't going to be anything positive. 922 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: It's going to be don't do this, don't do this, 923 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,200 Speaker 1: don't let the club get inside, don't take it outside, 924 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,040 Speaker 1: don't come over it, don't hit it in the water, 925 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,359 Speaker 1: don't hit it out of bounds, don't miss the screen. Right. 926 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 1: None of that is good. And I think practicing the 927 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,520 Speaker 1: skill of trying to stay positive, trying to use one phrase, 928 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 1: have four or five phrases one word that basically say 929 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,280 Speaker 1: the same thing. So if that one you have isn't 930 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:38,280 Speaker 1: working smooth, okay, maybe you then you go okay, tempo, rhythm, 931 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, finish right, any of those so that you've 932 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 1: got something to go to if things go wrong on 933 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: the golf course. Because things aren't going to go wrong 934 00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:49,839 Speaker 1: on the golf course. 935 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 2: We're not guaranteed to go wrong. 936 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 1: We're not machines, we're not perfect. Anything to add before 937 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 1: we close this up. 938 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 2: No, it's a great show. I think it's a very 939 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:03,320 Speaker 2: simple show. Swing thoughts. There's tons out there. Narrow it 940 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,479 Speaker 2: down to you, and narrow it down to one word, 941 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,360 Speaker 2: and one word feels. 942 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,480 Speaker 1: And narrow it down to a swing fault that works 943 00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 1: for your game. Your swing, not Scottie Scheffler swing, not 944 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,719 Speaker 1: Ry mackerel's swing. Fine swing faults that work for you. 945 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,399 Speaker 1: Rcie always good to talk to you.
