2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: you every Wednesday. This week we're trying out a question

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: show asked for questions up on my Instagram and we're

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: going to try and get to as many questions as

5
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: we can. But before we jump in, let's take a

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: moment to thank our friends at for Wellness. Do you

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: guys hear me talk about them every week? Um? Coffee

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: energy bites. Um, I've actually started bringing the coffee on

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: the road, can get them in the cured cups and

10
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: drinking that. But to me, the big thing that's been

11
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: a game changer for me is the good stuff performance

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: coffee supplement. What does that mean? It's just you're not

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna put bad stuff in your coffee anymore. I mean

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: that's what I was doing. I was going to Starbucks

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: and getting Latte's milk, you know, dairy sugar, all that

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: and pretty much ditched all of that and you know

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: coffee little scoop of the good stuff. What is the

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: good stuff? Um, it's got collagen and malaya, C salt,

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: M C T. I mean all stuff that's really really

40
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: of really good questions. A lot of the questions, UM,

41
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people that our golfers want

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: to know kind of how golfers practice. Um, what goes

43
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: into that whole process? And UM, I had a lot

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: of questions about the work that I've been doing with Brooks.

45
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: Haven't really talked about that. UM started working with Brooks again,

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: UM about maybe a month and a half two months ago.

47
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: It was at the live event in Bedminster, and UM,

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: he asked me for some help on the Saturday night

49
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: and UH, watch him hits the balls for about minutes

50
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: on the on the on the Saturday night. And then

51
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: on Sunday he asked if I could get to the

52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: golf course, UM, a little bit early before they teat off,

53
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: and we did some work. And UM We've been working,

54
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much ever since. I think everybody knows.

55
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: He finally got to win, which a couple of weeks ago,

56
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: which I think was really really big for Brooks. UM.

57
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: But I mean the interesting thing is, and in this

58
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: whole kind of PGA tour lives stuff. UM, you know,

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: I worked with Brooks for eight years when four majors

60
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of golf tournaments got to number one in

61
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: the world. UM. And this is not propaganda, this is

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: not spin. I have never seen him work harder in

63
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: the last two months then he I mean, he didn't

64
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: work this hard, didn't practice this much, wasn't putting in

65
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: this amount of time on his golf swing, UM, when

66
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: he was the number one player in the world. And UM,

67
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: I think it's been really really interesting to to to

68
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: watch um just how dedicated he is. Listen, I mean Brooks.

69
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Everybody knows the type of character Brooks is, right, I mean,

70
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Brooks has UM he plays with a chip on his shoulder. Um,

71
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: he's got you know, a big, big ego, big persona. UM.

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: And he didn't like the way he was playing golf.

73
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: He didn't like the way he was performing. He didn't

74
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: like the shots that he was sing on the golf course. UM.

75
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: And you know, full disclosure, we we really hadn't even

76
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: really talked. I mean, I guarantee you and I got

77
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: let go by Brooks at the end of November, um

78
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: or right after the Masters that DJ won in November,

79
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: and up until the time that that that we kind

80
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: of started working back together again. Uh. We we didn't talk,

81
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: we didn't spend any time together. So UM, I just

82
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: think that anybody that thinks that professional golfers, regardless of

83
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: where they're playing, don't care. Um, it's it's just not

84
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: the case. And and Brooks is working as hard as

85
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: I've seen him work. Um. A out of what we

86
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: did was just kind of getting back to basics a

87
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: lot of Brooks's problems. UM. And this is something I

88
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: think everybody listening can can kind of take to their

89
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: own game. A lot of what goes wrong for Brooks

90
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: happens before he hits the golf ball. My dad has

91
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: always said that it takes no athletic or golf ability

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: to set up to the golf ball, ball position, posture, alignment,

93
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: all of those things. Uh So, when I when I

94
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: saw Brooks, and I hadn't seen him really play in

95
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: almost two years. UM, a lot of the changes that

96
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: we made to his golf swing were set up related. Um.

97
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: He had gotten the golf ball a little bit back

98
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: in his stance, which when he tries to fade the

99
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: golf ball, which is the predominant shape that he likes

100
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: to play, it's tough to fade it from that position. Um.

101
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: The ball position had gotten back, which for Brooks always

102
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: tends to get his shoulders a little bit on the

103
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: close side. Um. And it's someone that likes to fade

104
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: the golf ball. That's a tough fit when you're trying

105
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: to hit a fade with the ball position back and

106
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: your shoulders kind of close. His left arm tends to

107
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: ride up really really high, the right arm tends to

108
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: get a little bit on the low side. And um, so,

109
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the changes we made and and he

110
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: was starting to aim a little bit kind of a

111
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: little bit too far to the right, and his shoulders

112
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: were getting a little bit open. So he kind of

113
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: had the open stance to the right, open shoulders to

114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: the left, close stance to the right, ball position back.

115
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: And even though he was trying to take the golf

116
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: club a little bit more on the outside, which is

117
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: where Brooks plays his best golf, because of the setup,

118
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: because of the ball position, and because of the shoulder position,

119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: he just couldn't get the golf club to go back

120
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: in the in the right way. So as soon as

121
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: we moved the golf ball a little bit forward, I

122
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: actually had him. I feel like his shoulders were almost open,

123
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: like the right arm, the right forearm was higher than

124
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: the left. Um that wasn't the case, but it was

125
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: an exaggerated feel and it was funny, you know, I said, listen,

126
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: get the ball position. We're hitting seven irons. I said, listen,

127
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: get the ball position a little bit more forward. Um,

128
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: I feel like your shoulders are more open. Um aim

129
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more left. And we looked at some

130
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: videos and we looked at some pictures, and I think

131
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: he was he was blown away at at how strange

132
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: that felt relative to what he thought it was going

133
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: to look like. I mean, he thought the ball was

134
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna be off his left toe. It wasn't. He thought

135
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: his shoulders were going to be wide open. They weren't.

136
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: But as soon as we were able to get the

137
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: set up and what was happening before he started making

138
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: a golf swing, it then was part of the domino

139
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: effect that allowed the backswing to get into a better position.

140
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: And that is one of the things that we've worked on.

141
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: We've tried to get the takeaway to get more square,

142
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: more outside. He was getting the golf club a little

143
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: bit on the inside. Brooks has always played his best

144
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: as a fader of the golf ball when the golf

145
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: club works in front of him going back, and then

146
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: the club works in front of him coming down, and

147
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: then he's able to rotate and turn through impact. When

148
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: when we started back together. His divot pattern was really

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: really deep. He was taking really really deep divots, and

150
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: his trajectory was kind of all over the place. He'd

151
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: hit a high one, he'd hit a bullet low one,

152
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: and he honestly he had a double miss. He'd had

153
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: balls that would start left and go left. He'd have

154
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: balls that would start right and go right. So we

155
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: went back to some of the things that we worked

156
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: on UM in the past. And one of the things

157
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: that I worked on that we worked on a lot

158
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: um that I like to work on with players is

159
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: is where is the golf ball starting relative to what

160
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: shot you're trying to hit. So I had Brooks, you know,

161
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and pick out a target, and I said, okay,

162
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: let's just hit me ten balls that start left of

163
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: your target. I don't care where they go, but hit

164
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: me ten balls that start left of your target, and

165
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: let's just focus on where they're starting. Let's don't worry

166
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: about where they're going to go. Let's worry about where

167
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: they're going to start. And if we can start them

168
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: left of the target consistently, then we can start to

169
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: manage the face because we know UM, for Brooks, if

170
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: he's starting the golf ball consistently left of his target.

171
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: He's doing a good job with managing what the path

172
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: is doing. Um And the other thing that tends to

173
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: happen when when Brooks gets the golf ball back and

174
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: the shoulders get a little bit closed at address coming down,

175
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: the path gets a little bit too neutral, and then

176
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: Brooks can really really kind of drag and drive the

177
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: handle forward with For a lot of people that's a

178
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: great impact position, but for what Brooks is trying to do,

179
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: that's the death move for him with all of his

180
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: speed and his power, because he basically just holds the

181
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: face and just hits kind of what you know what

182
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: I kind of term is kind of big block white cuts,

183
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: or he gets tired of doing that and he hits

184
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: the snap book. So as soon as we were able

185
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: to get the path in a better position, he was

186
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: also better getting into a better impact position. Brooks can

187
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: also at times hang back behind the golf ball and

188
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: get a lot of what we would call side bend

189
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: where he's hit the left shoulder gets really really high,

190
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: the right shoulder gets really really low. There's a lot

191
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: of you know, hang back and and and bending back

192
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: to the right. For him to try and start it online.

193
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: Once we were able to get him to feel like

194
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: the club was a little bit more in front of

195
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: the body, get the club exiting a little bit more

196
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: around his body to the low and to the left,

197
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: then his shoulders actually start to turn a little bit

198
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: more level through impact and they don't get kind of

199
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: so kind of left shoulder high, right shoulder low. And

200
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: and the divot pattern. He's the one thing that I

201
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: noticed UM last week in Miami. The divot pattern is

202
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: actually he's actually you using the bounce on the on

203
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: on on all the irons that he's using. And the

204
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: quality of the contact, the contact the mean the club

205
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: and the ball and the way the club is interacting

206
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: with the ground has been basically what it was back

207
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: in two thousand and nineteen. UM. I know Brooks, which

208
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: is there was three or four more tournaments that he

209
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: could play in UM because he's playing that good. His

210
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: ball striking right now UM is on a par with

211
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: what it was when he was number one in the world.

212
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: And the quality of the strike the hit. Brooks has

213
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: always had a very very heavy, heavy hit to the

214
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: golf ball. UM, so that's really started to come back.

215
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: He started to drive the golf ball better. Um, he's

216
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: starting to drive the golf ball further. Um. A lot

217
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: of the guys that have played with him in the

218
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: last month have come up to me afterwards and said, Dude,

219
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: this guy's hitting it as far as I've seen him

220
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: hit it. Um. But to be honest, a lot of

221
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: the changes that we made were all happening before anything

222
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: happened with the golf swing. It's just the way that

223
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: he was setting up to golf ball and it is

224
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: something that that I think everybody listening could could take

225
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: something from grip, posture, alignment, all of those things. They're

226
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: not fancy, they're not sexy, but they have a dramatic

227
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: effect on what's happening with the golf club and what's

228
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: happening with your your shots. So Um, as soon as

229
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: Brooks gets the golf club in these positions and starts

230
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: to see the golf ball in practice, in his warm ups,

231
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: in his practice rounds UM, it gives him a tremendous

232
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: amount of confidence. I mean, tour players guys are no

233
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: different than than the rest of us. We we all

234
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: play golf through confidence. If you're hitting a lot of fairways,

235
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: if you're hitting a lot of greens. Um, you're going

236
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: to make better swings. You can get the golf ball

237
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: and play off the tea regardless of what your handicapped

238
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: level is. You can get the golf ball in a

239
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: fair way. You're going to play better golf because your

240
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: your confidence is gonna go up. So it's been fun. Um,

241
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: it's been fun to see kind of Brooks Um, you

242
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: know not it's it's actually been fun to kind of

243
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: see him get a little bit of swagger back, um

244
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: and have the confidence back. Um because you know when

245
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: I when he asked me to start you know, helping

246
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: him again, Um, he had none of that. I mean

247
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: he had no idea where the golf ball was going. Um,

248
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: he didn't have a consistent shape. And for him to

249
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: get that shape back has been you know, massive for him. Um.

250
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna see Brooks three comeback healthier, Um,

251
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: ready to go. And you know, I think you're going

252
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: to see him have chances to win golf tournaments regardless

253
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: of where he is playing. Big week last week for

254
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Pat perez Man, I mean we did some big time

255
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: overhaul uh to his golf swing. Last week. He did

256
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: not play good in in Saudi Arabia, especially the last

257
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: two days, he just he just didn't have it. It

258
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: was windy, he wasn't hitting it solid. Um. We were

259
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: trying to cycle through a bunch of ideas and swing thoughts. Um.

260
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: We got down to Miami, Um, we were that. I mean,

261
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: they didn't play until Saturday, and we grinded Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

262
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday pretty much all day. Um. So I

263
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: was talking about Brooks, how Brooks likes to fade the

264
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: golf ball when the golf club gets too much on

265
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: the inside, he struggles. Pat wants to be able to

266
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: draw the golf ball. So basically, Um, all the stuff

267
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: that we were working on I was working on with

268
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: Brooks last week, I'm working on the hundred and eighty

269
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: degree opposite with Pat. We were trying to have him

270
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: get the golf club to go a little bit more

271
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: on the inside, because one of Pat's issues is the

272
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: golf club tends to go a little bit. He kind

273
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: of has to where he addresses it almost in the heel,

274
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: and then on the back swing the club almost goes

275
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: a little bit on the out. And when that happens, Um,

276
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: it's not so much what's happening with the golf club

277
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: on the back swing? Pat, Then on the back swing,

278
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: his lower body starts kind of going towards the golf

279
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: ball a little bit on the back swing. We call

280
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: that early extension. Had a question about that, can you,

281
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, be a great ball striker if your lower

282
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: body is getting closer to the golf ball m on

283
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: the down swing. Pat's always going to have a little

284
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: bit of that move on the down swing because he

285
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: plays very much UM as a lateral player. He doesn't

286
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of rotation in his golf swing. UM.

287
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: So one of the ways that he has to draw

288
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: the golf balls, he has to draw the golf ball

289
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: by feeling like the backswing and the downswing are working

290
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: really kind of inside on the backswing and then into

291
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: out on the down swing. But by letting him or

292
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: by having him feel like the golf club was going

293
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: very much on the inside going back, his right leg

294
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: was actually straightening a little, but it was actually helping

295
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: his lower body not move out of the way, not

296
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: move closer to the golf ball. UM on the back swing.

297
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: And he changed on Monday. He changed to a new driver,

298
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: changed to a new chef, and changed to a brand

299
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: new golf ball. Um and played really really good um

300
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: on Saturday in the in the team competition with Taylor

301
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: Gooch and then on a really really hard golf course. UM.

302
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's played trump de ral, but um,

303
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: they call it the Blue Monster for a reason. It's

304
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: a hard golf course. Um, it was blowing. The rough

305
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: is really really I mean the rough just berries. I

306
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: mean you hit a ball in the rough in the

307
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: practice rounds, we were struggling to fine golf ball. So

308
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: um he shut two under. UM. I think they're only

309
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: maybe two other guys that shut lower scores than he did. Um. Listen,

310
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: he's an easy punching bag. Um for a lot of

311
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: the people that you know, I want that as their narrative.

312
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: But I was really proud of the way he played

313
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: last week. Um and uh it was a really really

314
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: solid performance. UM. I think he was really proud of himself.

315
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: Um and uh he needed to come through. UM. You

316
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: know the way the team format works, all four scores

317
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: counted on Sunday, and you know, Pat made a lot

318
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: of really good clutch par pots from five eight, ten,

319
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: um fifteen ft um. Any of those pots don't go in,

320
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: they don't win. And then um, he was finishing on

321
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: the eleventh hole. Ninth hole is a long, long, part

322
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: three water all the way on the right, bunker's left.

323
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: He stood up, hit it left of the flag, right

324
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: in the middle of the green, pin high and hold

325
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: the pot. He could have easily bailed out hit in

326
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: the bunker, which a lot of guys were doing. Um,

327
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: he could have rinsed one in the water. But he

328
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: needed to stand up and hit a good shot. And

329
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: he did the ten poles Part five. Um, the further

330
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: obviously down you can get it, the better. And he

331
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: said that he said to his caddy, um, h, I've

332
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: been doing this on the range all day, every day,

333
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: all this week. I've just got to stand up and

334
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: trust it and hit a great shot. And I think

335
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: that's something really really important for everyone listening about that. Um,

336
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 1: the mindset of standing up and trying to hit a

337
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: good shot as opposed to trying to not hit a

338
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: bad shot. And and Pat said afterwards that, um, he

339
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: was really, really really it was proud of the fact

340
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: that he stood up. And he said on both nine

341
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: and ten when it counted at the end of the round.

342
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: At the end of the tournament. He hit the shots

343
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: that he needed to hit, and partly, you know, Pat

344
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: can have a really really negative attitude at times, you know,

345
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: really negative. And um, he stood up and he said

346
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: on nine, he said, I didn't think about the water

347
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: to the right. I didn't think about the bunkers to

348
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: the left. I said, I'm gonna start this at the

349
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: flag and hit a little draw and try and get

350
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: it in there about pin high. And that's the shot

351
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: he executed, standing on the tenth faraway dog leg from

352
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: right to left, water all the way down the left

353
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: hand side. So any miss that's left is in trouble.

354
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: Any miss that's to the right is gonna end up

355
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: in the rough and you're not gonna have a chance

356
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: to get to the green. Same thing. Stood up, said

357
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: that he focused on hitting a good shot, wasn't thinking

358
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: about any of the negative things. Wasn't thinking about the

359
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: water to the left, wasn't thinking about you know, the

360
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: thick rough to the right. But stood up and made

361
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: a really really good drivers swing and he said, trusted it.

362
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: He said, I trusted what I was doing all week.

363
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: And I think that is so important for everybody listening

364
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: to take to their own game, to take to the

365
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: driving range. It's so easy to go into all of

366
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: these shots and think about all the places you could

367
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: hit them, or all the places that you don't want

368
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: to hit them, But to stand up and actually focus

369
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: on hitting a good shot as opposed to trying to

370
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: not hit a bad shot, trying not to hit it

371
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: in the water, trying not to hit it into the bunker.

372
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: You're not going to hit good shots when you do that.

373
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: That's just it's just not to happen. UM. You know,

374
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: negative thoughts in your head will make your body do

375
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: things that you're trying to have them not do. It's

376
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: the opposite. And UM, I think it was a great

377
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: example in watching UM those two shots of what being

378
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: under pressure but standing up and focusing on a lot

379
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: of positive things as opposed to a lot of negative things.

380
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: And UM. Lastly, Dustin Johnson. UM, listen, Dustin Johnson is playing.

381
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: So I've worked with DJ for over decade now, and

382
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: Dustin Johnson is playing some of the best golf I've

383
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: seen him play. UM. If there was a major championship

384
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: next week, UM, Dustin Johnson is going to be one

385
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: of the favorites. UM. I think Um Brooks Kepco would

386
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: be one of the favorites. That's how good they're playing. Um.

387
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: You know, I've heard a lot of comments no competition,

388
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: weak fields. At the end of the day. Last time

389
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: I looked, UM, you're not playing against the field, You're

390
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: playing against the scorecard. You're playing against the golf course.

391
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,959
Speaker 1: So regardless of where you're playing golf. You know, I

392
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: remember my dad once, Um he I think he either

393
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: shot fifty nine or sixty and UM, I think it's

394
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: one of the lowest scores he's ever shot. But it

395
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: was a nine whole municipal course that he played twice.

396
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: And somebody said, oh, well, you know, I mean, doesn't

397
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: he can't really count if you're playing, you know, the

398
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: same nine holes, And he's like, I still have to

399
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: hit all the shots right. And regardless of what people's

400
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: opinions are about live or what you're you know what

401
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: side you're on. Um, Dustin Johnson is playing some of

402
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: the best golf right now that I've seen him play.

403
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: And the guy has been the only two people that

404
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: have been number one in the world longer than than

405
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: DJ or Tiger and Greg Norman. That's it, um, and

406
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: So if I'm telling you that the guys playing some

407
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: of the best golf I've ever seen him play, UM,

408
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: I think you should believe it. Because he's hitting the shots. UM.

409
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: He's driving the ball as good as I've seen him

410
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: drive the golf ball in a very, very long time. UM.

411
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: His wedge game has really really come back. Really for

412
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: the last two years, he's driven the ball like ship

413
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: and he's his wedge game has been horrendous. UM. And

414
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: he'd admit that. And you know, he's been putting in

415
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: the work. UM. And I think partly for DJ, and

416
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: again this is something that everybody can listen to. It's

417
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: confidence you put. You know, in the eight events that

418
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: that DJ played on the Live Tour in fourteen rounds

419
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: in the sixties, UM, he was playing like the Dustin

420
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: Johnson that was the number one player in the world. UM.

421
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: And you know, I think the way he played UM

422
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: in the last eight tournaments, UM, it gives me a

423
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: lot of confidence moving forward with where his game is at.

424
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: And UM, I know I keep saying this, but confidence

425
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: is so so big for these guys. And you just

426
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: don't you think that all of these guys you know

427
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: that you watch on TV, the girls on the LPGA tour. UM.

428
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: Wherever players are playing golf, you think that everybody is

429
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: just hugely confident and has a hundred percent you know,

430
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: control of what they're doing. And you know, most of

431
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: the times it's not like that. UM. But it's been

432
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: really fun UM to watch DJ play, UM, to watch

433
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: him drive the golf ball the way he's driven it. UM.

434
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: It's it's been a lot of fun UM, a lot

435
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot of reps with DJ. UM. DJ's warm ups

436
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: I've talked to about this before. UM. He's about an

437
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: hour and a half UM, so he's hitting a lot

438
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 1: of balls in his warm ups. UM. And he sometimes

439
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: every now and again, you know, in around you know,

440
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: we'll get to get about thirty minutes before he t

441
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: is off and he'll say, you know, I just felt something.

442
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: And I actually always think that it's really really good

443
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: when a player that I'm working with, especially at the

444
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: at the tour level, if they find something or feel

445
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: something on their own that I'm not telling them that

446
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: they as the player are able to go you know,

447
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: I felt this, and it I always kind of like

448
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: it when it's in a way that I'm not telling

449
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: them to do right. I kind of like that when

450
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: a player says, you know, I kind of felt you know,

451
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: and they put what they're trying to work on in

452
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: their own words as opposed to just me telling them

453
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 1: what to work on. And DJ does that a lot.

454
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: I think DJ probably does that more than you know,

455
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: any player that I've ever been around, because, believe it

456
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: or not, he is the ultimate field player. You wouldn't

457
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: think so the way he plays golf because his strength

458
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: is speed, power dominating with the driver. But DJ is

459
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: very very much a field golfer, a field player. UM yeah,

460
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's been fun to watch the way

461
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: that he has played. It's been fun to watch the

462
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: way that Brooks has played because when those two guys

463
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: are playing at the top of their game, UM, I

464
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: don't care what tour you're on, I don't care where

465
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: you're playing. Um, they're in that group of players with

466
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: John Ram and Rory McElroy. Um, the way Cam Smith

467
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: is playing right now, the way he puts the golf

468
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: ball when Justin Thomas is in full flow, when Calla

469
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: Morikawa's and you know has there are about ten players

470
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: in the world, UM playing that when they're on they're

471
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: tough to be and you know, Brooks and DJ are

472
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: definitely two of those players. I'm looking forward to seeing

473
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: what holds for them and UM, I'm excited um to

474
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: see how things go. Let's take a quick break and

475
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: we are back workout drills or movements for people that

476
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: are on the road often. UM, Listen, if you're traveling

477
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: a lot and you don't have the opportunity to hit

478
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot of golf balls and stuff, um, and you've

479
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: got your clubs with you, I think shadow swings in

480
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: um in your hotel room, especially now on the east

481
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: coast of the US with the weather getting bad, um

482
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: in Europe, the weather is going to start to get

483
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: a little bit rough for a lot of people. UM.

484
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: Hitting balls inside, hitting making practice swings to where you're

485
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: just making you know, swings with the golf club. You know,

486
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: the things that you as the player are working on.

487
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: If you're trying to get the golf club less inside,

488
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: trying to get a feeling of the club going more

489
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: you know outside, if you're trying to get the golf

490
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: club more inside, if you're trying to get more depth, um,

491
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: if you're trying to get more with with whatever it is,

492
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: you're trying to work on in your golf swing. You

493
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: can do that without a without hitting balls. You can

494
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: work on it. Um. One of the things that I

495
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: do with a lot of my students is if we

496
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: are having them make a specific change or move in

497
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 1: their golf swing, I would say, okay, go ahead and

498
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: take a set up, no ball, and close your eyes

499
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: and go ahead and make me a kind of conicum

500
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: mon alta biz hub super slow mo golf swing all

501
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: the way up to the top, and then a super

502
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: slow motion swing all the way back to impact and

503
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: then follow through. So you can do it in three stages. Right,

504
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: You've just got a golf club, you've got no ball,

505
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: take your set up, close your eyes. Whatever you're trying

506
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: to feel, the positions, the movement patterns, the things that

507
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: you're trying to work on in your golf swing, do

508
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: it with your eyes closed and say, Okay, I'm gonna

509
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 1: make as much of a slow motion back swing as

510
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: I can and go up to the top and stop

511
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: with my eyes closed, And just what does that feel like?

512
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: The eyes closed just kind of gives you that you're

513
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: not looking at what your body is doing. You're you're

514
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: kind of getting an opportunity to feel what your body

515
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: is doing. Um, go up to the top, do that

516
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: and super slow motion a couple of times. Then go

517
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: up there, go up to the top and stop, and

518
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: then think, okay, I'm gonna start my down I'm gonna

519
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: start the down swing. I'm going to do this in

520
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: as slow emotion as I can possibly do back to impact,

521
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: and then do that a couple of times, and then

522
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: say okay, I'm gonna get back to impact and I'm

523
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: gonna stop. Okay, and now I'm going to do a

524
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: super slow motion version of from impact all the way

525
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: up to my follow through. And those type of slow

526
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: motion golf swings can be really really helpful. UM practice swings.

527
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of instructors that talk

528
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot about that. I know, UM, Hank Haney is

529
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: a big, big UM practice swing guy. Make as many

530
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: practice swings as possible. So if you are traveling, UM

531
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: and you've got your golf clubs, you can't get to

532
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: the range and you you can't hit balls making swings

533
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: just whatever, you're trying to work on those swings. If

534
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: you're trying not to get the golf club too far

535
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: behind you on the back swing. Get up against a wall,

536
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: get your pockets of your shorts, your pants up against

537
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: that wall, and try and make some slow motion backswings.

538
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: And the idea would be to have the club head

539
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: not hit the wall behind you. Right if you were

540
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: someone that was taking the golf club too much outside,

541
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: take a couple of steps away from the wall and

542
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: in slow motion, try and feel like you're going to

543
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: get the club head to hit the wall behind you.

544
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: There are lots of things that you can do that

545
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: are just kind of mimics the no ball, but isolating

546
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 1: whatever motion that you have UM, I think can be hugely,

547
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: hugely important, UM for a lot of golfers, especially UM.

548
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: Now if you don't have the time and you don't

549
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: have the weather to get out in practice, UM, what

550
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: do average ams have to do to get to the

551
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: next level? Mentally? I think that's a question that I

552
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: get asked, you know a ton and I think I

553
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: touched on that earlier, UM, you know and talking about

554
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: Pat um Perez. It's easy to go to the range

555
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: and and work on your golf swing. I think a

556
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of people do that, UM. But I think thinking

557
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: your way around the golf course is hugely hugely important. UM.

558
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: I was working with a high school golfer today just

559
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: UM one Regional is qualified for the state championships UM

560
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: next week up in Orlando. Here in Florida where they

561
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: hold the state championships mission in. It is a very

562
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: kind of funky, fiddly kind of golf course, right. Um,

563
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: it's tight. Um. It can kind of make you feel

564
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: really really close to phobic. And I think one of

565
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: the things golf courses like that can do is put

566
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: you playing defense, right and put you on the defensive.

567
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: So what we did was we went through, we went

568
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: to Google Earth. We kind of looked at all of

569
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: kind of what the holes were, kind of looked at um,

570
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, got a score card off the internet, looked

571
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: at you know, what the scores were or what the

572
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: yardages were. And basically we just kind of plotted his

573
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: way around a tricky, difficult golf course. UM. And that's

574
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: one way you can kind of change your mindset when

575
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,959
Speaker 1: you're thinking about going out and playing golf. It's your

576
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,719
Speaker 1: if it's your home course, if you play a lot

577
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: of times, Let's say you're gonna even if you're just

578
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna go play casually. You know, if you're gonna go

579
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: play nine holes or eight holes you're not playing in

580
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: a tournament and say all right, the day before or

581
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: while you're having your coffee go through you're around and say, okay,

582
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: what am I going to hit off the first hole here? Um?

583
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: What do I want to hit? You know? Where am

584
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: I gonna hit? Driver? Where am I going to hit

585
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: not driver? What holes am I going to lay up on?

586
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: What holes am I not going to lay up on?

587
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: What do the part three's look like? Where it's the

588
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: easiest place on this green for me to um? I've

589
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: talked about this on the pod before. If you think

590
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: about the first green at your club, if you just

591
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: went down and dropped the ball in the middle of

592
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: every green, right, regardless of where they put the pins,

593
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: how far away are they are you actually going to

594
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: be from the hole? And that that would be a

595
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: really cool thing to do, right, is to drive out

596
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: um on your golf course. Do it one afternoon something,

597
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: Go out and just drive out in a cart, drop

598
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: the ball in the middle of the green and see

599
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: if you just hit it to the middle of the

600
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: green what kind of put you would have. I guarantee

601
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: you you'll hit from if you hit the bland the

602
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,239
Speaker 1: ball in the middle of every green based off of

603
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: where the pins are going to be. For eighteen holes,

604
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna hit You're gonna hit some good shots

605
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: doing that based off where the pinions. But what you're

606
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: not going to do is you're not going to miss

607
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: green stuff. So actually going around your home course before

608
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: you play and getting into that mental frame of mind, um,

609
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: where you want to hit the golf ball. I think

610
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: so many of us go out on the golf course.

611
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: What I was talking about earlier with Pat Perez and

612
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: all we is think about where we don't want to

613
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: hit the golf ball, right, don't want to hit it

614
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: in this direction, and we don't want to hit it

615
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: in that direction. We don't want to hit it in

616
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: the water, we don't want to hit it into um

617
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: the bunkers. How about doing the opposite. How about standing

618
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: up on the first hole and saying, this is where

619
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: I want to hit the golf ball. Obviously you're not

620
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: going to do that every time. Right, we're not tour players,

621
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: were not tiger Woods. We're not justin Thomas Ruory McIlroy. Right.

622
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: We may not have the command and control that the

623
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: best players in the world do well. One of the

624
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: things that we do have command and control over is

625
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: the way that we think about the shots that we're hitting.

626
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: So stand up and say, okay, this is where I

627
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: want and I'm going to try and hit the golf ball.

628
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 1: And if you don't do that, keep trying to do that,

629
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: because I think what so many golfers do. I heard

630
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: Bob Rotella wants um, Bob Rotella, the great you know

631
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: golf sports psychologists would love players to go to the

632
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: golf course with no swing thoughts, none, which is very,

633
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: very difficult to do, and but he will. And I

634
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: was I was working with Trevor Immelman, who has been

635
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: on the pod before. UM. I was worrying with Trevor

636
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: and Trevor was working with Rotela, and Rotella said, listen,

637
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: I want you to go to the golf course with

638
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: one swing thought. And Trevor was like, man, I just

639
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I need I need, I need

640
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: at least two maybe even three. I just can't go

641
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 1: to the golf course with one swing thought. And Rotelo

642
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: was like, I want you to go with one swing thought,

643
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: but I want you to keep that one swing thought

644
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: for the entire round. So if you hit a bad shot,

645
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: you can't throw it out. Because I think that's what

646
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot of us do, right, we have a even

647
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: if we even if we are going to plan, and

648
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: even if we are going to have a game plan

649
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: and and and go to the golf course and and

650
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: try and and stay positive. Yet one bad shot and

651
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: you just we all do it. We throw it out

652
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try something different. Now that didn't work.

653
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know. So taking one swing thought to the

654
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 1: golf course and keeping it for eighteen holes because Rotella

655
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: would say, if you're take king swing thoughts, which he

656
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: doesn't want players to do, I think their minds shouldn't

657
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: be thinking about technique. Their mind should be thinking about

658
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: scoring an execution. But he'll let players take the one

659
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: swing thought to the course, but he wants you to

660
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: keep it for all eighteen holes because his theory is,

661
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: if you take it to the golf course and you

662
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: make one bad swing and you throw it out, what

663
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: the hell was the point of taking the swing to

664
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: the golf course in the first place if you're just

665
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: going to throw it out, if you're not going to

666
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: stick with it. So that's another thing. That getting for

667
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: amateur golfers, getting to that next level mentally is saying, Okay,

668
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: what is what is the key thing I need to

669
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: do today on the golf course? Right? What is my

670
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: one swing thought? And then I'm going to take that

671
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: one swing thought and I'm going to keep that one

672
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: swing thought for eighteen holes, regardless of what the outcome in.

673
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to stand on every t box, on every

674
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: part four, every part five, every part three, and I'm

675
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: going to have intent intention. I'm going to have an

676
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: idea of what I try. I'm trying to do. Okay,

677
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick a club, I'm gonna pick a shot,

678
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick a shape, and I'm going to focus

679
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: on trying to hit that. And if I don't do that,

680
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick up where I left off on the

681
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: next hole and try and do the exact same thing.

682
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: And I think that is a huge, huge mental shift

683
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: in in going to the golf course with positive thoughts,

684
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 1: positive intention as opposed to go on the golf course

685
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: and just kind of winging it and if it doesn't work,

686
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: you try something else, and if it doesn't work, you

687
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: try something else. And by the back nine you've tried

688
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: four or five things, and let's be honest, it's not

689
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: a surprise I'm not working because you're not giving them

690
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: a long enough time to do it. UM. So I

691
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: think that mental frame of mind on trying to stay positive,

692
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 1: trying to stay in the present, focusing on each shot

693
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,479
Speaker 1: as they come, as opposed to thinking about the past

694
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: or thinking about the future. UM, because I think that's

695
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: really really hard to do. UM. Lastly, listen tons of

696
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: questions about Live. I mean, obviously, UM, I work with

697
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: three players on Live at the moment. I don't currently

698
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: work with any players on the PGA tour. That's not

699
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be on the PJ tour. UM.

700
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: I go where the players are, and currently the players

701
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: I work with UM are on live. UM. It was

702
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: a really really interesting UM. There are eight tournaments and

703
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: it was it was a new experience. I mean, one

704
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: of the questions I asked I got asked, UM. We've

705
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: heard from live players and caddies, UM as to the

706
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 1: differences of of being on live. What's the differences on

707
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,959
Speaker 1: coaching on live? UM, And a lot of the things

708
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: that I've seen about UM. You know what's happening on live. UM.

709
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff that you see on Golf Channel,

710
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: that you see on TV that you see reported, are

711
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: are being reported and comments being made by people that

712
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: have never experienced any of the term eaments. UM. So UM,

713
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: My experience has been really really positive. UM. It's been

714
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: a really interesting working environment, and it's been a very

715
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: very different working environment as a coach UM than it

716
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: than it has been in the past. On the PGA Tour, UM,

717
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: I get to spend a lot more time with the

718
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: player and the players UM during practice rounds from start

719
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: to finish. UM. We have tended to kind of UM,

720
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: stay in the same hotels. We're driving to the golf

721
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 1: course at the same time. One of the game changers is, UM,

722
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: we get to the golf course in the morning, UM,

723
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 1: and we can eat breakfast together. I can actually sit

724
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: down with a player and a caddy and eat breakfast

725
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: with him. Never been able to do that on the

726
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: PGA Tour. The players go one place, the caddies go

727
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: somewhere else. The coaches sometimes they let coaches in with

728
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: what the caddies are doing. But then there have been

729
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: many tournaments UM that I've worked on the PGA Tour

730
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: where you're not allowed to sit with the caddies, you're

731
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: not allowed to sit with the players. So that interaction,

732
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: that team interaction of being able to sit down with

733
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: the player and the caddy you know before around the

734
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: interaction that you're able to have with a player and

735
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: a caddy to sit down with them, you know, and

736
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: have lunch after around. UM, that has been really really different, UM,

737
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: and it has been, in my opinion, you're very UM

738
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: kind of game changing. UM. It's it's it's made I

739
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: think all of us feel a little bit more like

740
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 1: we're part of the team. UM. And then the team

741
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: concept that UM. A lot of people I don't think

742
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: understand or get UM. But as someone that has been

743
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: to all of the live events, as as someone that

744
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: has coached UM and been a part of it was

745
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: six winning teams, the team concept for the live guys

746
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: is real. UM. Dustin Books their team captains. UM, they

747
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: are looking at this UM in a very different way

748
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: than I think they've ever looked at golf before. UM.

749
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 1: They're looking at what the players are doing when they're

750
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: on the golf course. UM. They're conscious of what the

751
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: guys on their team are doing. UM. It's funny after

752
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: some of the rounds when the guys get off. Everybody

753
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: finished this at the same time because of the shotgun starts,

754
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: So guys are finishing and you know DJ, who everybody

755
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: thinks is kind of out there and doesn't even think,

756
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, he'll get out of scoring. He'll be coming

757
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: out of scoring, and and Pat Perez or Taylor Gooch

758
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,919
Speaker 1: or Patrick Read the guys that are on his team,

759
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: he'll say you finished on four under, you finished on

760
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: three under, meaning he knows what they're doing. He's watching

761
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: what their scores are doing on the golf course. Um,

762
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: half the time, you know, we'd get back to the

763
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: range and uh, you know when we were on on

764
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour, somebody be hit and balls, Hey what'd

765
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: you shoot today? You know, he wouldn't have a clue.

766
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: So the fact that he's got guys, and each of

767
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: these teams have guys on their team, Um, that part

768
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: of it has been I didn't expect that to be

769
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: as real and I sure as hell didn't expect it

770
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: to be as fun as it's been. Um, it has

771
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: made everybody. I mean, that's the cool thing. Um, you

772
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 1: know DJ's team, the four races we breakfast together, we

773
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: go to the range together, we play practice rounds together,

774
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: we lunched together. Um, we go out to dinner together. Um.

775
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: The caddies are doing team dinners. UM, the players are

776
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: doing team dinners. And then you know, at least once

777
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: a week, the entire team, players, coaches, caddies, everybody associated

778
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: with these teams all get together and go out. Um.

779
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: We never did that on the PGA Tour. UM. So

780
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: that has been really really unique and refreshing and UM

781
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And UM, Listen, I know this

782
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: whole thing, you know, between Live and the PGA Tour

783
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: is very very political. It's very polarizing, and I know

784
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: it there. It's like there's a line in the sand. Um.

785
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: All I know is my experience on Live was great

786
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: this year. UM. And I think the frustrating thing for

787
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: me is, UM, I saw some unbelievable golf being played. Um,

788
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: I really really did. UM. And I don't listen. I

789
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: have seen, I've I've I've been a part of seven

790
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: major championship teams. I have worked with and helped on

791
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: a team to get two separate players to number one

792
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: in the world. And I've probably helped players win over

793
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: fifty tournaments. Um, I know what good golf is. I

794
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: know what good golf shots are. UM. And I saw

795
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: some unbelievable golf this year on Live. Um, I saw

796
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: some unbelievable golf this year on the PGA Tour. And

797
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: I I love golf, right. I love watching golf swings,

798
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: I love watching players. I love watching players stand up

799
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: and hit shots. UM. And I've seen that this year. UM.

800
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: And I've I've been impressed with the golf that I've seen. UM.

801
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: I've been so impressed in being able to watch Cam

802
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: Smith play up close. Um, it's been a lot of fun.

803
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun to watch some of

804
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 1: the players that Yeah, okay, it's easy to look at

805
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: a guy like Peter you Line. Mean every time Peter

806
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: you Line plays good now and live everybody just as well.

807
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: He couldn't win on the PGA Tour, and he couldn't

808
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: do this, and he couldn't do that. Okay, fine, if

809
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: that's the narrative you've got, fine. But the way Peter

810
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: u Line has played this year and the confidence he's taken, UM,

811
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: it's been fun to watch. UM. I got to watch

812
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of players who's you know, names

813
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: that I struggle to pronounce. I got to watch them,

814
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: you know from Asia. Um that aren't household names that

815
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: maybe everybody doesn't know. But I've gotten to watch these

816
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: kids a golf um, watch them, watch their golf swings,

817
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: watch them practice. UM. And that's what turns me on.

818
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a fan of golf. I'm a fan of golfers. UM,

819
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of golf swings and UM, you know,

820
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I had a lot of people ask me

821
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: questions where all is play out? You know, what happens

822
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 1: moving forward? Listen. I wish I knew the answer to

823
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: that question. I don't know, UM, But what I do

824
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: know is, UM, I think Live is here to stay. UM.

825
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: I think the PGA Tour is not going anywhere. I

826
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: think the new schedule, the elevated events, and all the

827
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: things that have changed this year in this crazy, crazy

828
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: year of of of professional golf. UM, I think we're

829
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 1: going to see a very very strong PGA Tour next year. UM.

830
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: I think you know, the PGA Tour has so many

831
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: good players playing on it. You know, Rory McElroy, Justin, Thomas,

832
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 1: John rom You know, if you look at the players

833
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: that play on the PGA Tour right now. I mean,

834
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: they've got some of the best players in the world.

835
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: I believe that Live has some of the best players

836
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: in the world as well, And I personally believe that

837
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: they can both be true at the same time. The

838
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: PGA Tour can do what it does, Live can do

839
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: what it does. And if you're a fan of one,

840
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 1: that's fine. If you're not a fan of the other,

841
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: that's okay too. I mean, that's I don't have a

842
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: problem with that. There are people that don't like Live

843
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: for whatever the reasons are. That's that's your choice. That

844
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: you're prerogative. If you are a fan of what's happening

845
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: on Live and you like it and you're watching and

846
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: it appeals to you, that's cool too. But UM, I

847
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 1: hope that in three we see UM I'd like to

848
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: see less animosity between the players. UM because to me,

849
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: I support players, I support players competing playing, and I

850
00:45:53,200 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: also also massively support every professional golfer and professional athlete

851
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: making money. I have no problem with it because when

852
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: you're in sports at the highest level as a coach

853
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: like I am, you realize that you can't fake it

854
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: and phone it in you. It just it just doesn't happen.

855
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: You have to stand up and hit shots when it counts,

856
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: and you have to play good, right, And yeah, the

857
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: money they're playing on at Live is more than they're

858
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: playing on at the PGA Tour. So there are some

859
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: guys that made a lot of money, um, but they

860
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: didn't make a lot of money because they can't play. UM.

861
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: And that no Joe, that goes towards the the anti

862
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: liv pinata. You know, Pat Perez, Yeah, Pat wishes he

863
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: would have played better in some tournaments this this year,

864
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: for sure. But to make out like this guy's a

865
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: bum and he's got no talent and he's just riding

866
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: DJ's coattails, I think if that's your opinion, UM, I

867
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 1: think you're misinformed as to what's actually happening UM, because

868
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: I just don't see that. Um. And like I said,

869
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of golf, and UM, I'll continue to

870
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: be a fan of golf, whether it's on the PGA Tour,

871
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: whether it's on Live, whether it's on the DP World Tour,

872
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: whether it's in Asia, whether it's on the l p

873
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: g A, whether it's on the Champce Tour, I'm a

874
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: fan of golf, and I am a fan of golfers

875
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: first and foremost, and hopefully in three UM, some of

876
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: the the aggressive um us against them, them against us,

877
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: maybe some of that changes, maybe it doesn't. Maybe I'm

878
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: naive and thinking that. I don't know, but I saw

879
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: some great golf um on all the tours this year.

880
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: And you know, as we're going into offseason now, the

881
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: PGA Tour has got a couple of weeks left, LPG

882
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 1: not long and lives off until next year. Hopefully in

883
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: this offseason, you know, everybody takes step back and UM,

884
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: hopefully we can get talk get back to talking about

885
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: players hitting great shots and winning tournaments, regardless of where

886
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: that is. Because like I said, I'm a fan of golf.

887
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: I know everybody is, and hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
