WEBVTT - Garrick Higgo

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Gark. It's so nice to be able to talk to

0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you again, and so long since I have spoken to you.

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>And I went to the Open. I did the whole

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>week and the one day I was crossing over, you

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>were crossing over eighteen. You look very neat, looked like

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>you lost a bit of weight. Have you lost a

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>bit of weight? Not intentionally? Maybe maybe because they opened

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>was my seventh week in a row. Maybe because of that,

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 1>But I haven't tried to know. I'm actually trying to

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>poke a little bit, So that's yeah, I'll work on that.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.919
<v Speaker 1>Why did you not any particular reason that you're not

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>put very well? Or what happened? Did they open? I

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>was gonna ask you, you know, Um, it's a bid

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>because putting has been my you know, the best part

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of my game, the last little bit um and I've

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, as an amateur, played pretty well on links sources.

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>But for some reason I struggled to read the greens

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>at the Scottish and at the Open, so um, and

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean I was I was struggling to get the

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>ball to the whole, which is which is quite strange. Yes, well,

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the thing that those greens are can be very deceptive

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and The big thing you've got to do there is

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Number one is look at the cup on the worn side,

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 1>as you know, because that is never lied. And this

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>is something you understand that very few people do understand.

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And look where the cup is worn. And sometimes it's

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 1>not easy to see people putting their hands in the

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 1>hole now or routing the cups a lot, raising a lot,

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>but look now, these things happen. And you know, you

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>as you say you had seven weeks in a row, yeah,

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>you know. I don't believe this business are being tired.

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's in one's mind. But when you play

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>seven weeks in the row, I think that that is

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit too much. I think five weeks in

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the row is good, and then have a week all

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.119
<v Speaker 1>come back, but seven. But the things you'll you'll learn

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>as you go along, and nobody can teach you that.

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 1>That's something that you've got to feel. But it was

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>open for me because first of all, I think that

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>John Rome should have won, but he put it so

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>badly the last day. But it's very interesting for me,

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and I tell people I see somebody like Jordan's speech

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>and I see at least four faults and he's swing

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that he is one tremendous competitor. He's got what I

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 1>call it now nobody, nobody can define it. It's something

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that certain people had. And it's another thing that Jordan's speet.

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.200
<v Speaker 1>He knows how to play golf. Now you tell somebody

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that somebody on the regular too knows how to play golf.

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot of people knew how to play they

0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>could swing. Well, well, it's taken the top hundred players

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Open. There's a hundred and fifty six guys.

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>The top hundred is very little difference between the first

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>and the hundreds of hitting the ball. So what is

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>it that you know? It's not how well you swing

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>or how well you do this. As you and I

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>have discussed, it comes from the mind. And that's the

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I've tried. And you, of all the

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>young men I've ever met in my life, you're the

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>greatest gentleman. I wish I could have a doctor, don

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you said to a nice guy. But you listen, you listen,

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and so many young guys don't want to listen. They

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 1>come up with while I'm working on the modern day swing,

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and there's nothing, there's no such thing as a modern

0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>day swing. There's nothing new. I'm dying to hear something

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>new in the swing. But Jordan's speaker is a very

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 1>good man to emulate because he's all over the place.

0:03:56.480 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>He's the Sevy of America, I mean, Dallas Tiros. But

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>he's putting. He's a competitor, he's got it, he knows

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>how to And I think what happens this is what

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I find, But that doesn't find for everybody that when

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you played too many torments in a row, you lose

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 1>that little bit of irritability in your system because your

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>system is now burnt out from energy. And I played

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>my very best golf, and I noticed Hogan and Sneen

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and Palmer and Nicholas and Travino. And if you watch

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>John Ram, he gets really pumped up. You know. You

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>when you get a bit irritable, your mind then works

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to the maximum it can to get you focused. And

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 1>what you wouldn't You are really focused, And if you

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:53.839
<v Speaker 1>played so much, you lose that focus which prevents you

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>from playing well. Yeah. I agree with that. Yeah, I mean,

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely something that I'm going to learn. Fro Um.

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, because everything changed so quickly, you know, there

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>was no time to really pick and choose what I

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>was going to play, especially having the two majors, you know,

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 1>or even playing the three three majors in in the

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 1>eight weeks. Um, I can see all the top guys

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>either take the week off before the major or played

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.719
<v Speaker 1>the week before the major and you know, take a

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks off before that event. So um yeah,

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I definitely play my best golf when I'm fresh and

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready to win. Um. But I definitely felt like

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I was a bit drained going into even going into

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the Scottish but I tried, I tried not to be

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>um and I fought until the end. So um yeah,

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess I'll just learn from it. No, that's good.

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>And now you got into the Olympics. Uh well, actually no,

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm flying. I'm flying tomorrow actually, um flying tomorrow night

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:08.799
<v Speaker 1>to joe Burg and then Saturday night, UM to Tokyo.

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>And are you playing at Kasumi Kaseki? That it actually

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.559
<v Speaker 1>no no, no, I never designed it, but Harold Henning

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and I represented South Africa and nineteen fifty seven and

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>we got five hundred dollars in in American Express checks

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>to go all that way and play. So that was

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and we finished second there. We beat America and Japan

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>won it, and that was the start Japanese golf. This

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>tiny little guy, he wasn't even five ft three. He

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>hold bunker's shots and he was holding puts from all

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.479
<v Speaker 1>over the the middle old dab stroke and it was

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 1>such a great thing that this is. I'm gonna be

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>watching very carefully. I know the course well and it's

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.799
<v Speaker 1>got great memories for me and and you've got busied

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>not as your partners. I'm hoping you're going to do

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>very very well. And it's it's an honor. I mean,

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I can't do the Olympic Game for South

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Africa men and women. And I was always sure that

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>people like Rory McElroy say he wasn't interested in going

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to the Olympic Games and he he wouldn't even watch

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>the scores of the Olympic Games. It's quite sad because

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Ory and I was sad to hear that. And to

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>go to the Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>in the world and it's such a great honor for

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you and BIS know to be playing. And please tell

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 1>him I'm pulling for you. Guys, will be watching you

0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Yeah, yeah, I can't wait. She's it's

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be amazing. And also just kind of being

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>in the athletes village and seeing all the other athletes,

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 1>although we can't go and watch them. Um, I mean

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>it's something that we haven't really grown up watching because

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>golf phase only in it now for the second time.

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>But I think hopefully we can inspire some of the younger,

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>younger guys. When I went to great when I went

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to the village there, they had me sleeping well in

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>a cardboard cuboard as a cupboard for my clothes and

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a bed that was a plank. And they came to

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>your mind, you know, you leave the village and boy

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>they put me in the hotel and I pretended I

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 1>was sad, but I was very happy. But it was

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.840
<v Speaker 1>an experience going to the gym. Everybody could get together.

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I met all these wonderful athletes from all over the world.

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>It was a wonderful experience. So but you'll be able

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to see something no we're not allowed to, well I was.

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that was kind of one of the best things.

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was going to be. Um, you know,

0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>being able to go and watch the sprinters or something

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>like that, but we're not allowed to. Oh my goodness,

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 1>well good yeah, so I'll just have to make up

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>and win the goal. That's it. That's it. Where is

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Basidian at the moment, He's in Johannisburg. It's Christian, Christian, Christian,

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Christian Christian. Yeah, and tell me how what do you

0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>feel at the moment, any department of your game that

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you're not feeling good with. You're feeling good with everything. Yeah,

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 1>my long my long game, My long game is feeling

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>really good. Um, I mean it was. It was definitely

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>just you know, mental sharpness the last two weeks because

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I didn't make a double drop, which usually

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>those come from you know, Arran t shots and stuff.

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>So um, you know, I made a lot of drops

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>which were soft dropped. So I'm actually in a positive

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>headspace to be honest. Um, my game is feeling really good.

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 1>And I think this week at home seeing family and

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>getting a bit of risk is going to give me

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good because I'm itching to go back

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 1>and play. So that's that's great. She's I can't remember

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.080
<v Speaker 1>we organized the game for me to play, to play

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>with you Gary when I was really little, but I

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>remember playing the nine alls that goose and that really

0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>inspired me a lot. But then also remember you wrote

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>me a letter um and gave it to someone to

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>give to me when I was at school, and I've

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>still got a frame just saying you know, um. It

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>was in Afrikaans. I think it said a fast bait

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>um and that you're thinking of me, um, And yeah

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>it stuck with me, and yeah, I mean you're a

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>you're and I look up to you a lot. So

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>it's been amazing and I can't thank you enough for

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>for all your support. You know, the one thing that

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, your coach and I don't want you to

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>do is get paralysis of analysis. You saw them potentially

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the greatest player they developed Tiger Woods, when's the US

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>fifteen shots and then goes to teachers for lesson and

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>they want him to have a flat follow through and

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 1>they want him to fan the club face open, and

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>he from his great talent that he has, he has

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a taken away and he doesn't win a major for

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a eleven years. And you know, we just want to

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>see you be slight tune. Your coach knows you will.

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I know you will slight tuning. That's all you do

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>but to keep your mind, because we haven't scratched the

0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>surface of the mind, and it's the mind that wins tournaments.

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's what you've got to do. You've gotta do meditation,

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you've gotta do prayer. A lot of people don't any

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 1>emphasis on prayer. I know you do and I do.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>And so you've got to building your mind because we

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>are nowhere near what we're going to see happen with

0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the mind in time to come is going to be dramatic.

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that's what you know. We keep on emphasizing

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>with you keep fit, got to learn to eat. You

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>see what happens today in tennis. Tennis is my favorite

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>thought to watch Jokovic. You look at him now, there

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>he is having one his twentieth major championship. And those

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 1>other guys, I don't know if they will ever win

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>any others, but this man is no unforeseen accident. He'll

0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>win twenty five majors and it's because he's a beast.

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>So in December, I well, I kind of realized that

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.359
<v Speaker 1>I needed to take it a little bit more seriously,

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and I started working with bath Mom, who's in thankour Um.

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.920
<v Speaker 1>So he travels with me and Yeah, we've worked on

0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>my mobility, which is in a big part of getting longer,

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>not so much my strength. I'm quite strong, but I

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>can't access all of that strength because I'm a bit

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>limited in my te spine and hit mobility. So we've

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>worked on that a lot, just so that I don't

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>have to, you know, I don't have to do anything

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.640
<v Speaker 1>extra to gain length. And by working on that, we've

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, we've been able to do a lot more

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:40.160
<v Speaker 1>strength stuff, um, you know too, enhance my ability basically. Um.

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And he helps me with nutrition and all that stuff.

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's quite jacked up with all that, so

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 1>he keeps me on my toes when it comes to

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:53.680
<v Speaker 1>that for sure. Yeah, very good, very good. And yeah,

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 1>uh Grek, that was a very nice wort of Maraca

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>where he seems like a very nice young man. And

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>there again, you know, everybody's brainwashed with long hitting now,

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>and long hitting is an asset. It's an asset, but

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:17.439
<v Speaker 1>it's not a necessity. And we've seen this first and second.

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>We're not long hitters really, but you could see it

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>coming down the line. They were holding the puts left,

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>right and center and almost chipping in when they were chipping,

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 1>and there you have John ramitting these massive drives and

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>missing the putts. And then we go to the extreme.

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>You see a man like Bryson Deshambro. I mean, he's

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>eating so many calories and so many shapes and things

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 1>like that, and he's a very intelligent guy. And I

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>spoke to him at a gust of this year and

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, are you not perturbed about affecting your kidneys

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and your liver? And he said, no, I have my

0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 1>blood monitored every three weeks. Well that's a that's straight,

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>very nice, blood checked every three weeks. But that's what's

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>suiting him. But I was in I'd rather work on

0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:15.360
<v Speaker 1>hitting the ball a little bit straighter. I saw him

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>some places I've seen him some places in that I

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you that you've got to be awfully strong.

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 1>And he gets out, I have a job outsideways with

0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>a sandwich. But I mean, one must be careful that

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 1>you realize what Woulden's golf tourments is the mind and putting. Yes,

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that. I mean, that's the biggest thing

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>that's changes for me is I've realized that I don't

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 1>have to hit it well at all. Two when um

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and my short game has been so good the last

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 1>four months that I can go at a lot of

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 1>flags that are previously not was scared to go at,

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 1>but I can almost fired all of them. And I

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>know that I'm going to up and down, which have

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 1>been from you know, wherever I wherever I finish. So

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a nice feeling. And I feel like that's that

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>trees me up to hit better iron shots as well,

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not scared of missing shortsided and then I

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 1>hit a good iron shot and then you know, you

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 1>make a lot of bodies doing it doing it that way. No,

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>that's right. And the one thing that the two things

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 1>that I hope that you don't forget what I said

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>that you must you must enjoy adversity. You've got to

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>enjoy it. Do not shake it off because it's impossible

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>not to have it. It's impossible. Everybody has it, and

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>from adversity comes great joy if you can stick it out,

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and so many people can't stick it out, and it's important,

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, so the other thing is you've gotta

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you've gotta have great patience. And I love what you

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.720
<v Speaker 1>just said. Now, you don't always have to play well

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to win. You know, you know it's good mind you

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 1>getting up and down into and feeling confident and feeling

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.679
<v Speaker 1>good in yourself, all these things, you know, And and

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the last thing I remember really talking to you strongly

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>about it, to believe you the best. That's the big thing.

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 1>When you go on that team, I Garrick Hugo am

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the best player in the world. You're gonna believe it

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.399
<v Speaker 1>because I believe. I'm believing you are. They all asking

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>me who's the next world champion? I don't hear it.

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I say, Garrett, because I believe you can and you

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.919
<v Speaker 1>know it's up to you. Yeah, that's right. Nobody's going

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 1>to do it for you as your all your guys,

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>none of us can help you do that, but you

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 1>that's what You've got to keep believing. And so I

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>hope you have a great week in the Olympics. It's

0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>thank you. It's gonna be awesome. I can't play it.

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And then where do you go from Tokyo? Then when

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you finished, so we go straight to Memphis for the

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>w G c UM and then I'll take a week

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:10.480
<v Speaker 1>off and then the playoffs start, the FedEx Cup playoffs. Yeah,

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>why wouldn't Why would you. You know, I always found

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 1>if I could, if I could having traveled with the

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 1>time change, not to go into a tournament because your

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 1>body is not really adjusted properly. But sometimes you don't. Yeah,

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>this is that one. I don't have a choice, unfortunately,

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 1>but I agree. Um, it would have been nice not

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 1>to have to play with the nine hour time difference. Um.

0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.680
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's it's one that after that I can't skip. Um,

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>but at least at least it's going I feel like

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:49.680
<v Speaker 1>when I go to West actually the jet lags a

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>little better because you wake up earlier. Um, like going

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:56.639
<v Speaker 1>to Japan. Now it's going to be a bit of

0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:02.160
<v Speaker 1>loculty wake up to No. I told you about that

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.879
<v Speaker 1>year I was playing in the World and the World

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Cup the same, but this was the not the Canada Cup,

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and we were playing in France and we were fogged out.

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.959
<v Speaker 1>The one day in the travel agents said well, I

0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 1>can get you to Melbourne three hours before the Australian

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Open Scots and Arnold and Jack said no, And I

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>said I'm going and I got there time change. Never

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 1>saw the course, you said, A clams a sandwich and

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.959
<v Speaker 1>the shower and one the Australian opened by seven shots.

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember that in saying what can if they believe

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that they could do it? You know. Yeah, I mean

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember the beginning of the in the Desert. I

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:50.159
<v Speaker 1>didn't start off very well, almost the first three cuts

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of the earth. Um. And I came back in salt

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Cliffe for about two weeks and um, you know, we

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 1>just went back to kind of my old seal and

0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 1>my old swing. And yeah, I was a little worried

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>because obviously, you know, you want to stop playing better

0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 1>because the year was getting on, um, and we're we're

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 1>so out of my short game for about four months,

0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, the first four months the year. Um. Yeah,

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I just got onto a role and she's it's amazing

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>how how how it's changed. But I'm really excited. I

0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:29.639
<v Speaker 1>can't can't wait to get back and play in the States.

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I must say. The other day, I've got very choked

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>up a guy who would be a picture to sign

0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and I looked at it and I thought there was

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a junior next to me, and I said, see who's

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.199
<v Speaker 1>that and he said, that's Garrett. You go at the

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Junior President's Cup. Yeah, I remember that. That was I

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know what I was doing, shaking your hand or

0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:57.359
<v Speaker 1>giving you a trophy or something, and I think giving

0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>us the medals all we think, well, we obviously finished second,

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>but I think you were giving us the medals. But

0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>that was an awesome experience as well. And who else

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>were with the so so Travil was up captain and

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:21.320
<v Speaker 1>obviously you were also um and we had Luca Philippi

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 1>another South African Jaden Shaper and just to Lampa, it

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>was as four South Africans with obviously the rest of

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that with the rest of the team. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 1>we actually played all right. We we didn't do well

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>in the four balls, we lost quite badly, but in

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the singles we beat them. If you had to go

0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:49.199
<v Speaker 1>on the yeah we beat them. Contrament board it was,

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:53.359
<v Speaker 1>but it's quite a few points. Yeah. So I mean, Gary,

0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>your your opinion on this would be valuable. I mean

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have come up to me and said,

0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, how are you going to play Augusta because

0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I had draws, you know, um, But I don't feel

0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>like I need to change. I don't feel like I

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 1>need to change my game to play there. I feel

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 1>like I can I can figure it out the way

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:19.320

<v Speaker 1>handed with you. The fairway is there, the board doesn't

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 1>know that it's a dog leg, and you'll you'll be comfortable.

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 1>But there are different, diffinite things about Augusta that are

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>very very valuable to to know because it is a
