1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,559 Speaker 1: It's these out of a Butcher podcast. I am your host, 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: Claude Harmon. So one of the things that I'm always 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: trying to do is look at I'm obsessed with coaches, right, 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: most of the sports that I watch, when I watch 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: NFL football or college football, I don't really care about 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: the sport. The teams that I follow tend to be 7 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: teams who'se coaches that I really like and admire. So 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: when I watch NFL games or college football games or 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: things like that, I'm looking at it from a coaching standpoint, 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,959 Speaker 1: and I've talked about them a million times on the podcast. 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: But Nick Saban, the college football coach, you know, one 12 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: of the greatest of all time, and I always trying 13 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: to look at what coaches core principles are. And one 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: of Nick Saban's core coaching philosophies and principles is the 15 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: twenty four hour rule, meaning win or lose, you get 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: twenty four hours to process it and then you have 17 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: to move on. Right, So you get that twenty four 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: hour time frame after a game, the process what happened, 19 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: and then you know, in college, in the NFL, in 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: team sports, you don't really have a lot of time 21 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: to evaluate. You don't have months to evaluate games because 22 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: the games are coming all the time, right, So that 23 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: twenty four hour rule, I really like that, and it 24 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: was something I wanted to expand a little bit further 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: on in something that I think that we can all 26 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: kind of take to our own rounds of golf on 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: the golf course, or even our own practice sessions as well. 28 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: So I think one of the big problems with golfers 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: is the emotional side of golf. Due to the extended 30 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: time gap other sports, you don't have time to think, right, 31 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: the game is coming fairly fairly fast. One of the 32 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: things they always try and talk about, and you hear 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: them talk about for quarterbacks both at the college level 34 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: but definitely at the NFL level, is the great ones. 35 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: They always say the game is slowing down for them. Right. Well, 36 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: in golf, you've got eighteen holes. You're probably going to 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: be out on the golf course for you know, four 38 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: to five hours, but a lot of that time and 39 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: the majority of that time you're not really doing anything. Right. 40 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: Let's say give your so forty five seconds to hit 41 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: a shot, right, So if you have if the goal 42 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: was par and you had seventy two shots, and let's 43 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: say you gave yourself forty five seconds for each of them, 44 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: you don't really need to concentrate for that long. So 45 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: I think emotion becomes a big, big part in golf. 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: And you have a bad round, and most golfer spiral, 47 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: lose confidence, and the next time they go play, they'll 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: throw everything out and try something completely different. The opposite 49 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: of that is a good round. You think that it's 50 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: going to happen all the time. You get over confident, 51 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: you think I've got this figured out. And you know, 52 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: Nick Saban always called that the rat poison right. Too 53 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: much praise is a bad thing and being too negative 54 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: is a good thing. I saw a quote that Nick 55 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: Saban was talking about a football team recently that lost 56 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: a big game, and he said, you know, I always 57 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: used to tell our team when we lost games, we 58 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: were ready to lose one. And I was like, that's 59 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: a really interesting phrase, meaning, yeah, we weren't doing the 60 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: things that we needed to do to compete at a 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: high level to win consistently, and as a result of that, 62 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: we lost, and we were ready to lose because losing 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: and failing will help us learn something. So I think 64 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: most golfers every time they played poorly, they hit bad shots, 65 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: they have bad practice session. It's just an open invitation 66 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: to lose confidence, spiral and to constantly make changes, to 67 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: constantly change everything. So this idea of a twenty four 68 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: hour rule for your bad rounds, for your bad practice 69 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: sessions yourself, you know, twenty four hours to be frustrated, 70 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: to be disappointed or whatever. But then try and figure 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: out what you can learn from that. Right? Was it 72 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: was it my technique? Do I need to go to 73 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: the range and spend more time in the technique phase? 74 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: Or was it execution and performance? Do I need to 75 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: have a better strategy. Do I need to work on 76 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: my mental state on the golf course? Was it course management? 77 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: But pick one thing from Let's say we're going to 78 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: do it from a bad round. Right, you've gone out, 79 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: You've played poorly. You know, nothing really went well. But 80 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: if you evaluate the round of golf you played and 81 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: you try and evaluate it logically, try and pick it 82 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: apart and imagine that there's a panel looking at the 83 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: round of golf you just played. You had a back nine, 84 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: you had a front nine, you had seventy two holes, 85 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: and you're going to have, you know, like a Golf 86 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: Channel panel of people that are going to try and 87 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: analyze your round the way they do from live from 88 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, when you know Brandle and Paul McGinley are 89 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: at the majors and they evaluate the leaders, they evaluate 90 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: their rounds. If somebody was leading and they played poorly, 91 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: they evaluate the round, but evaluate it and see if 92 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: you could pinpoint what the problem was, so that when 93 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: you go into your next practice session, which is going 94 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 1: to be technique phase, you can figure out what you 95 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: need to practice. And I think that's the issue. Right 96 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: when you don't play well, it's easy to spiral because 97 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: you can look at your round of golf and you'd 98 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: always find a lot of different things that you feel 99 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: like were the calls. But a lot of those things 100 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: will be the result of some other things, so they 101 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: won't necessarily be the cause. So look at the bad 102 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: round of golf that you played and say, okay, let 103 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: me think about this logically. First of all, let me 104 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: analyze were there any things I did well today? Okay, 105 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: let's say I'm trying to break ninety for the first 106 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: time and I still didn't do it. You know, I 107 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: shot ninety seven and my goal is to shoot ninety, 108 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: and that's kind of holy grail for me in my 109 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: golf development is to break ninety for the first time. 110 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: Because I can't break eighty for the first time, I 111 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: don't break ninety for the first time. I can't break 112 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 1: par for the first time. If I can't break ninety, 113 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: I can't break ninety for the first time, if I 114 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: don't break a one hundred. So when you're looking at 115 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: that bad round, try and see what you can pull 116 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: out of it, and say, Okay, if I go to 117 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: the range tomorrow and I really really focus on trying 118 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: to fix these things and commit to it, can commit 119 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: to that technique phase we've talked about and then work 120 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: the technique side of it and then say, okay, let 121 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: me get into kind of that transfer phase. But try 122 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: and find one thing that you can pull out of 123 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: your round of golf that you did well, But then 124 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: what was the main thing you did poorly? And then 125 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: if you play well and you have a really good round, 126 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: give yourself twenty four hours, celebrate, right, and then get 127 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: your ass back to work. That's one of the things 128 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: that I always say to the competitive players that I 129 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: play with. If they win a tournament. I always say 130 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: the same thing. Celebrate the win, take a day off 131 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: and celebrate, and then get your ass back to work. 132 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: Get back to work because doesn't matter. Right, doesn't matter 133 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: if you just want a golf tournament. The only thing 134 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: that matters is the next golf tournament you're going to play. 135 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: When you play really well, don't into that trap of thinking, Okay, 136 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: I've got it now right, I'm going to I'm going 137 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: to continue to play well and again, process over outcome. 138 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: What was the process that led you to the outcome 139 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: you wanted? And just like when you play poorly, taking 140 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: a deep dive into what you feel like was the 141 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: main reason why you played poorly. When you have a 142 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: good round of golf, do the opposite. Most golfers can 143 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: tell me everything they're doing wrong on every bad swing, right, 144 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: they tell me a laundry list of things that they're 145 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: doing wrong when they hit the golf ball well. But 146 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: if they're hitting the golf ball really, really solid, if 147 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: they have really good rounds of golf, what are you 148 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: doing well? Can you identify the things that you do 149 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: on the golf course when you're playing the game that 150 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: helps you play well? Right, So it's just as important, 151 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: and when you play poorly, to figure out what you 152 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: feel like was the main cause of why you played 153 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: poorly and what is the main thing that you can 154 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: try and change. I think you've got to do the 155 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: opposite of that. When you play well, if you have 156 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: a really good round of golf, write down, Okay, today 157 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: I did these things really really well, right today. I 158 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: drove the ball well today, I putted really really well. Today. 159 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: I had a really good round of golf. And you 160 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: know what, I really didn't hit it that good. But 161 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: my decision making process on the golf course was really 162 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: really solid. My course management was really really solid, my 163 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: course strategy was really really solid. I had a really 164 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: really good game plan. So you want to try and 165 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: extract the things of the bad rounds that you did 166 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: poorly and try and take those into your practice. But 167 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: when you play well, say okay, yeah, this is what 168 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: I did really really well today, and let me focus 169 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: on that. You know, if you think about the idea 170 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: of the process, sticking with the process, the Nick Saban 171 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: core process over outcome right, the process can protect you. Right. 172 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: If you're focused on the process, then each individual round 173 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: matters less, right, because it's a long season. You know, 174 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: they're going through that right now in American college football, 175 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, because the way they've changed the playoff system 176 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: and all those things used to be you were trying 177 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: to stay undefeated. Now it's going to be very, very 178 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: hard for the best teams in college football to remain 179 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: undefeated because of the schedule, because of all the things 180 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: nil and stuff like that. So you're probably going to 181 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: have some losses. Whereas before the goal was to go undefeated. Yeah, 182 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: that's probably still going to be the goal, but that's 183 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: not going to be somewhat realistic. So in team sports, 184 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: the process is, hey, listen, you know, it's a long season. 185 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: We have more games. It's just not we had a loss. Okay, 186 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: let me try and learn from that. Let us as 187 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: a team try and learn from it, and then you know, 188 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: we've still got a long season and we're going to 189 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: try and have more wins than losses and learn from 190 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: this mistake. So I think that's important. If you have 191 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: a good round, ask yourself, listen, was it really a 192 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: good round or did I just have a lot of 193 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: things go well for me today? Did I get breaks 194 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: that I haven't been getting? I think that's really really important. 195 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: But again, a good round of golf identify what is 196 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: the reason. And I just think that so many golfers 197 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: just don't do that right. They're so focused on the outcome, 198 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: and they're so focused on the negative outcome. So I'm 199 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: always doing that when I'm giving golf lessons. Right when 200 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm giving a student a golf lesson, It's easy for 201 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: me in lesson to look at a player and look 202 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: at all of the things that they're doing poorly. What 203 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: I always try and do is say, Okay, in my head, 204 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: i'm looking at a golfer, I'm watching them warm up, 205 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm kind of going through my analysis of what I 206 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: think would help them play better and hit shots better 207 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: and things like that. So there's probably going to be, 208 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: you know, for a regular normal golfer, a handicap golfer, 209 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: there's always going to be a number of things that 210 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: I could say to them, Hey, yeah, I mean, your 211 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: grip's bad. Backswing's terrible. Don't like the top of the 212 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: back swing position that much downswing, Not a huge fan 213 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: of the downswing. Impact needs to get better post impact. 214 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: I always try and say to myself, okay before I 215 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: say anything constructive, and I guess before I tell them 216 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: the negative, I always try and say, listen, I really 217 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: like these parts of your golf swing. I really like 218 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: what you do with your grip. I really like the 219 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: way you set up to the golf. There's always going 220 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: to be something that is good that you can focus 221 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: on and say, listen, you do this really really well, 222 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: or you do these things really really well. And what 223 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: we can do is focus on these as really good 224 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: parts to your movement pattern and really good parts to 225 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: your golf swing, and see if we can take some 226 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: of the things that you really do well and then 227 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: say listen, and then the places where we can make 228 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: gains and the places where we can improve are these one, 229 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: two and three things. And that's only going to help 230 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: accentuate and help the good things that you do well 231 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: really affect your score. So I really do like that 232 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: twenty four hour. You could do that from a practice 233 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: standpoint as well. Get done with your practice session. We 234 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: talked about this, you know, the three phases that you're 235 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: going to be in in your practice session. You're going 236 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: to be in a technical phase where you're working on 237 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: swing mechanics, positions, all of the technical elements of your 238 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: golf swing. It's not the playing of the game, it's 239 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: the practice part of it. And then that's one bucket. 240 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: So that's the technical stage. The middle phase of that 241 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: is the transfer phase to where Okay, now I'm trying 242 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: to take some of the things that I'm doing in 243 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: my technique, some of the fields, some of the drills 244 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: and stuff, and in a practice environment, pick out some targets, 245 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: put some alignment sticks down, and try and now get 246 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: into hitting some shots that have some result outcome based 247 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: to them. But I'm still in the technical phase as well. 248 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: I'm trying to transfer what I'm doing from the technique 249 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: phase into the performance side of thing, right, And so 250 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: it's this transfer phase that I think is just a 251 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: phase that a lot of players never really think about, 252 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: they never really get into. They just want to make 253 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: that jump from trying to get kidting golf holes and 254 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: practicing golf and playing golf and scoring and performing on 255 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: the golf course. So let's say you're going to try 256 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: and learn French for the first time. The first thing 257 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: that you're going to try and do when you learn 258 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: language is you've got to learn the vocabulary. You've got 259 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: to learn the grammar, you've got to learn the pronunciation. 260 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: So that's a new language, and you've got to try 261 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: and learn what the words are in French, right, what 262 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: the word for cat, dog, plane, food, whatever, what that 263 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: word is, the grammar, the pronunciation, and stuff like that, 264 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: and that's kind of the foundation of how you then 265 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: start to then the transfer phase of that would be. Okay, 266 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: I feel like I've got a pretty good gauge and 267 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: a pretty good understanding of kind of the grammar of French, 268 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: grammar of German, Italian, whatever the language is. Okay, I 269 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: understand I'm probably still going to make some mistakes when 270 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: I start to try and make some phrases now and 271 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: put some sentences together. And if I was talking to 272 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: a French speaker and I was saying, hey, listen, I'm 273 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: trying to learn French, and you know, I've been practicing 274 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: the grammar and the pronunciation and all of that, and 275 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, could we kind of try and have some 276 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: basic conversations in French. A French speaker is going to, 277 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, regardless of what you say, if you say 278 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: it incorrectly, if you don't say it the right way, 279 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: if the pronunciation is off it it's the wrong word. 280 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: If it's just if it's not grammatically correct. A native 281 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: speaker would say to you, no, no, no, no, you say 282 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: the word this way, it's pronounced this way, or you're 283 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: adding a verb, you're adding an out, whatever the rules 284 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: of that language are. That is kind of the transfer phase. 285 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: And then the performance side of things would be to 286 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: stand up and give a two hour presentation all in French? Right? 287 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: Can you do that after one day of trying to 288 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: learn the words and the grammar and the pronunciation, right, 289 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: It just it's not realistic. So they always say one 290 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 1: of the ways to really learn a language is to 291 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: go live in that culture. So one of the easiest 292 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: ways to learn French is go live in France, right, 293 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: because you're going to be immersed in it every single 294 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: day and it's going to help that transfer phase become better. Right, So, 295 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: evaluating your good rounds, evaluating your bad rounds, but maybe 296 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: evaluate them in a different way and think about it, Okay, 297 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: what can I take from my round of golf today 298 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: and what did I see on the golf course that 299 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: was the issue in the performance side of things, right, 300 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: and whatever that is, then say okay, what can I 301 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: then go work on from that? Evaluation back into the 302 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: range environment, the controlled range environment, back into that kind 303 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: of no fear save space for practice, and what can 304 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: I work on technically that is going to help me 305 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: transfer what I'm working on technically and get into that 306 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: transfer phase so that I can get out of that 307 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: transfer phase and get into that performance phase, because that's 308 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: what we're always trying to do. Right Whereas I think 309 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: most golfers that are listening right now there they stay 310 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: in technique mode. They stay in the technical mode. They're very, 311 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: very comfortable on the range. You know, I hear this 312 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: all the time. I hit it good on the range, 313 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: I really really struggle when I go to the golf course. 314 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: And so I'd never heard the term transfer before. And 315 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: so I was working with a junior golfer. She had 316 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: aspirations to play Division one college golf. She went on 317 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: to play college golf, not at the Division one level, 318 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: but I remember she was playing in a big tournament 319 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: down in Miami and she went down and played a 320 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: practice round at Durel. I think it was the Red 321 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: course at Durel. And in the Red course at Durel, 322 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: she played pretty good. You know, I think shut seventy 323 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: four in the practice round, and she was using arcos 324 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: at the time, so we were able to kind of 325 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: look at how many fairaways she hit, how many greens 326 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: she hit. We were able to kind of look at the 327 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: round that she played and stuff like that. And then 328 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: she I'm pretty sure I've told the story before on 329 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: the pod, but I think it's a powerful one. And 330 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: then in the tournament, I think shut eighty six or 331 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: eighty seven, and parents freaked out. She freaked out. I mean, 332 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: she just I mean they were freaking out. And the 333 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: parents immediately called me and said, she needs more practice, 334 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: she needs more practice, she needs more practice, she needs 335 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: more technique, more technique, more technique. And I was talking 336 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: about this concept with Greg Rose from the titleist Performances 337 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: to doctor Greg Rose, who I've had on the pod before. 338 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: You haven't listen to that one, that's a really good one, 339 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: and I was talking about this. I was like, you know, 340 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: when you see this, what do you see? And he said, well, 341 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: that's transfer problem. I said, what, I've never heard that phrase. 342 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: What does that mean? He is, well, she's struggling to 343 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: transfer what she's doing in practice and in practice rounds 344 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 1: into competition, so it's a transfer problem, because if it 345 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: was a technique problem, if it was solely a technical problem, 346 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: she would shoot in the high eighties in the tournament 347 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: because she lacked skill. But you can see that the 348 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: technique and the technical side of things that she's working 349 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: on is working because we have data points to back 350 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: that up. Right, we have a school or to where 351 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: I think of seventy two is par. I think she's 352 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 1: shut two over. We have data that we know how 353 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: many fairways she hit, we know how many greens she hit, 354 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: we know how many putts she had. We were able 355 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: to kind of go through and look at the clubs 356 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: that she was hitting and where she was hitting it, 357 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: and to be over ten shots higher in the tournament. 358 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I do that in the limited golf that 359 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: I play, right, my golf, when I play golf and 360 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: compete at golf, It's not a transfer problem, right, because 361 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: I don't hit it good in practice. Right, I'm struggling 362 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: in the practice phase of things. I'm struggling with the 363 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: things I'm trying to work on in my golf swing. 364 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: So I haven't you done enough work on the changes 365 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: that I'm making Because I don't really practice a lot. 366 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: I don't really play a lot, so I'm not surprised 367 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: when I go out and play in competition or score. 368 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that I play poorly because I'm struggling 369 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: in that practice side of things. But I hear a 370 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: lot of players say to me, listen, I hit it 371 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: good in practice. I feel like I'm making the changes 372 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: that you know you want me to make. I'm just 373 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: really struggling in the tournament. You know. I'm going through 374 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: this right now with Noah Kent, who I've had on 375 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: the podcast before. Finalists twenty twenty four USAM which got 376 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: him into the Masters in the US Open this year, 377 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: and he also got invites into the Byron Nelson and 378 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: the Houston Open on the PGA Tour. So he played 379 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: four professional golf tournaments this year, including two majors and 380 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: two regular tour events, and he is a junior at 381 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: the University of Florida. He played a tournament a couple 382 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: of weeks ago and finished fifteenth with a ten and 383 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: two doubles. And the good is good, the good is 384 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: as good as anybody's. And we're trying to clean up 385 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: the bad, right, trying to make the bad better. And 386 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: then a couple of weeks ago, trying to qualify for 387 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: the next tournament at the University of Florida. Three round 388 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: qualifier sixty eight sixty nine, so five under through two rounds. 389 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: The leader is ten under. They're going to take the 390 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: top five scores and sixty nine to sixty eight. Three 391 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: bogies through two rounds, right, cruising, no doubles, some birdies 392 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: and one by one bogue in the first round, two 393 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: bogeys in the second round. Right, So playing well, right, legit, 394 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: chance to qualify right where he wants to be. Third 395 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: round eighty another ten and two more doubles. Now some 396 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: of that technical sure. Talking to his coaches J. C. Deacon, 397 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: who I've had on the pod before and Dudley Hart, 398 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: who played the PGA Tour. I'm going to get on 399 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: the pod soon. I sent him a message that night, 400 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: technique or execution. They both came back with one bad, 401 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: getting some bad breaks on the golf course, but couldn't 402 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: really make worse decisions and compounding problems. So I'm talking 403 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: on the phone to Noah and I'm like, dude, you 404 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: think it's all one hundred percent technique. It's not. If 405 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: the technique was bad, you'd shoot eighty in the eighties 406 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: for the practice rounds. It's transferring what you're working on, 407 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: the mindset you have for the two rounds where you're 408 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: cruising sixty eight sixty nine, and then transfer to you 409 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: can take that to your own golf game and say, Okay, 410 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: when I'm on the golf course and I have good 411 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: rounds and I have good days, what is it that 412 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: I'm doing and is it one hundred percent that I 413 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: hit the golf ball better. So obviously the barriers, the 414 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: score barriers that we're all trying to break one hundred, 415 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: ninety eighty and par right, if you're trying to break 416 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: a hundred for the first time, Absolutely some of that 417 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: and a large majority of that is going to be technique, right, 418 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: getting the golf ball in the air all the time, 419 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: taking divots with irons, getting the golf ball in play 420 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: off the tee, getting the golf ball anywhere on the green, 421 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Yeah, that's always going to be somewhat technical. 422 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: But if you feel like you're in that bucket of Okay, 423 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: I'm working on some things in my golf swing, I 424 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: see them working on the driving range, I feel more 425 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: comfortable with it. I've got data points through video, through 426 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: launch monitors, through or whatever technology that you're using to 427 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: try and quantify if the changes that you're making are working. 428 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: So I've got the good data points to where yeah swings. 429 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: You know, I've been trying to shorten my backswing looks 430 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: much shorter on the driving range. A video myself on 431 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: the golf course looks you know, right, but still not 432 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: performing the way I want to. So having that understanding 433 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: of to the three phases that you're in technique transfer execution, right, 434 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: technique is swing mechanics, swing changes, swing thoughts, feels, transfer 435 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: is Okay, Now I'm going to practice my technique under 436 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: game for slight conditions with targets consequences, building kind of 437 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: nine holes on the driving range, right, you could build 438 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: nine holes on the driving range, pick out flags on 439 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: the golf course or on the driving range and say, okay, 440 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get myself a fairway there, right, and I've 441 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: got to get the golf ball in that fair wa. 442 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: You make that fair as big or as small as 443 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: you want. I'm going to pick out a green or 444 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: a target flag, and I'm going to rather than do 445 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: what I do in tech. So the difference between technique 446 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: and technical phase and transfer is technique. You're genuinely working 447 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: with one specific golf club, from one specific lie that 448 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: tends to be flat on the driving range, from a 449 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: good lie, and you are making your technical changes in 450 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: a controlled, good environment. Right, if it's super super windy 451 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: and you're gonna work on your technique and you're just 452 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: gonna be working on swing mechanics and swing changes and 453 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 1: it's blowing fifty, you're probably not going to go out 454 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: there because you're probably gonna not get a lot out 455 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: of it because golf ball is going to be flying 456 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: all over the place. Well, if you're working on technique, 457 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: that probably shouldn't matter. So the technical phase is okay. 458 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: Now I am working on all of my swing thoughts 459 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: and my swing mechanics and all of my feels. But 460 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: now I'm choosing different targets. I'm choosing different lies, I'm 461 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: choosing different alignments, So you know, I'm choosing different clubs, 462 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm choosing different fairways, I'm choosing different greens, I'm choosing 463 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: different targets while I'm still working on my fields, working 464 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: on my swing thoughts whatever they are. And then the 465 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: performance side of things, the execution thought side of things 466 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: is going out and doing none of that and just 467 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: going out and scoring. But I do think building in 468 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: that twenty four hour rule for yourself for good rounds 469 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: and good practice sessions and for ad rounds and ad 470 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: practice sessions is very similar to again building that no 471 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: blame practice environment. Did a pot on it recently, and 472 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: I do think that's important. Don't get two to down 473 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: on yourself for twenty four hours after a bad round 474 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: or a bad practice session, figure out some of the 475 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: things that you can do to kind of affect change 476 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: and change things on the golf course, and then not 477 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: getting too high and feeling like you've got it when 478 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: you play well, and then saying, okay, what are the 479 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: things that helped me play well today and the reasons 480 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: why I played well, and then what are the things 481 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: that I can still improve on. So that building that 482 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: twenty four hour rule for yourself, to Nick Saban concept, 483 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: one that I really really like and one that I 484 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: think can help you get into that no blame environment 485 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: where you're not beating yourself up constantly. So give that 486 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: a try see if that works, and I definitely think 487 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: it will be able to help you. You can rate 488 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: review subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. It's the son 489 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: of a Butch podcast
