00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,760
Emergency Podcast. 
I just played in my first 

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,800
tournament of the year. 
Will I? 

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,360
I just smoothed it around for an
easy 78. 

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,280
Like I'm like, I'm just really 
good at so here I am again. 

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,840
Here I am again. 
Another year of frustrating 

6
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,560
tournament performances. 
Starts off in May. 

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,240
I'm very excited about it, so I 
thought I'd ask you why are 

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,040
tournaments so hard? 
Yeah, so let's start off with 

9
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,320
that. 
So first and foremost, shot 78. 

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,360
Frustrated. 
How many rounds of golf have you

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,000
played this year in Minnesota? 
I don't see how that's relevant.

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,800
No, it's not at all. 
I just. 

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,440
This is my first eighteen of the
year. 

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,520
Yeah, no. 
So, so first time of the year, 

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,080
OK. 
And and how many rounds have you

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,120
played? 
This is my first 18. 

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,080
OK, first eighteen. 
OK, cool. 

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,200
Good, good, good, good, good. 
So generally the expectations 

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,320
are low, right? 
Because you haven't played, it's

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,400
been cold, you've got 4 kids, 
all you've been doing is speed 

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,240
training, but you choose 78 and 
that's bad, correct? 

22
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:15,040
OK, no, it's not. 
I mean, like, it's fine, it's 

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,800
it's fine, but it's just, it's 
like it's so different. 

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,800
It's not like I feel like I 
haven't. 

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,960
Why did I practice all winter? 
What was I doing? 

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,040
Like what? 
Yeah, but, but, but, but think 

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,960
of it this way. 
It starts off with the 

28
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,240
expectations, right? 
It starts off with the 

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,720
expectations of I should play 
well in a tournament. 

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,240
So point being is if you don't 
want to just go and play the few

31
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,560
holes with your friends today, 
you'd have probably played 

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,440
pretty decent golf because 
there's no stress. 

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,440
There's nothing even playing 
little skins game, a little 

34
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,880
money game and say, whoa, I've 
got a ton of competency. 

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,920
So what's really important about
this is exactly that is like 

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:51,080
when you try and compete and 
you're not used to competing, it

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,760
feels completely different. 
So part of this is, you know, 

38
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,320
the solution to it is, you know,
how do you go ahead and compete 

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,840
and not feel like you're 
competing? 

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,840
And when you train, how do you 
feel like you're actually 

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,720
competing? 
So you've got 2 elements to it. 

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,000
One is you've been doing a ton 
of speed training, which is 

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,880
awesome, but you haven't been 
doing a ton of yardage, gapping 

44
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,640
of wages, playing golf, working 
on short game, making ten in a 

45
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:15,160
row from 4 feet. 
You haven't been doing a lot of 

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,400
that right? 
Yeah, I think I've gotten out 

47
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,200
for like I don't know, four 
times I've been able to go do 

48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,360
like the four foot circle and 
lag putting. 

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,640
So four times is. 
I mean, it was good, but. 

50
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,960
What time is good? 
So, so the first part is the 

51
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,080
expectations are aligned with 
what we've been doing. 

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,720
Second part is you go into a 
tournament, everything feels 

53
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,600
completely different. 
So why is that is? 

54
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,040
Because number one, you've gone 
ahead and thought like I should 

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,160
shoot 72 and qualify. 
So the expectations go up. 

56
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,160
Your name's going to be on a 
leaderboard. 

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,360
So the expectations are up. 
You're playing with better 

58
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,720
players. 
You don't get to drag another 

59
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,200
ball out or drag a putt back. 
You've got to finish everything.

60
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,120
So you're just completely out of
your comfort zone. 

61
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,760
And what people don't realize is
how different that comfort zone 

62
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,040
is. 
I mean, it's just tournaments 

63
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,880
are just not most of us are not 
used to them and we play the 

64
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,240
club championship once a year, 
have the worst round we've ever 

65
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,520
had in history on the first day,
shoot in 96 and then second day 

66
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,800
shoot at 77 and go, oh man, I 
know I'm capable of this. 

67
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,080
I wish I could have done it the 
first day, but you weren't 

68
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,040
because you weren't in the first
day, you were in the 

69
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,440
competition. 
The second day you were 

70
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,800
completely out of the 
competition. 

71
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,320
So there's no stress. 
I had one of my players just 

72
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,000
yesterday, Barry, he just texted
me in the first round, shot in 

73
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,920
80, didn't play good Second 
round went out with his buddies.

74
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,080
He knew every guy in the group 
and he just had a good time, had

75
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,120
fun and shot a 73. 
And it's like, OK, I think I'm 

76
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,840
starting to get it. 
Like I was more comfortable that

77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,960
second day. 
The first day I wasn't 

78
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,080
comfortable. 
So it's like, how do I learn how

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,040
to get more uncomfortable in my 
training and my practice and 

80
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,280
when I get on the golf course, 
I'm going to say it again, how 

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,160
do I try and get myself into a 
comfort zone that I don't need 

82
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,520
to worry about things, right? 
I don't need to worry about 

83
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,040
outcome. 
I don't need to be worried about

84
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,800
school. 
I just need to play. 

85
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,840
So I don't think people realize 
the difference between the two 

86
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,720
that they they think that 
they're ready to go and compete 

87
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,120
in a tournament and then they're
blown away when they go and 

88
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,520
shoot 10 shots higher than 
normal. 

89
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,600
It's like, no, that is the 
standard now we have to train 

90
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,960
for that. 
Yeah, it's just so it's just so 

91
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,920
weird though, Like I don't 
understand why it feels so 

92
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,960
different. 
Like I, I played on Monday, I 

93
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,320
played, went out and played nine
holes with a friend and hit it 

94
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,440
great. 
And then like it literally felt 

95
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,840
like I. 
A which means Jack nothing. 

96
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,400
I played night owls, which is I 
played with a friend, so I was 

97
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,640
comfortable and I played good. 
Let me give you the best, the 

98
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,160
best example that I told my 
players about and I've been 

99
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,800
sharing this this year quite a 
lot with them. 

100
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,160
OK, you have a wooden plank. 
It is 2 1/2 feet wide and it's 

101
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,520
30 feet long and you walk across
and go boom. 

102
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,240
I have the skill set. 
I can do that. 

103
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,240
And then you look at somebody 
else who walks across the plank 

104
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,560
and goes look at that like you 
walked across that plank, like 

105
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,960
you can do that too. 
I'm as good as you and it felt 

106
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,360
totally comfortable. 
Now if I then go and put that up

107
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,520
on top of a four foot table, you
go, OK, I can do this. 

108
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,520
But as you walk across it, 
you're a little bit more, you 

109
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,320
know, better focus in on this a 
little bit more because if I do 

110
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,800
fall, I just have to jump off 
and I'd be OK. 

111
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,320
But you know, let's just make 
sure I'm OK. 

112
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,840
And your buddy walks across and 
go, you see, I'm the same as 

113
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:14,560
him. 
Like, I know he's a + 3 and he 

114
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,920
just won the big state amateur 
tournament, but I can do what he

115
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,160
does. 
Now. 

116
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,080
You put it up at 50 feet. 
You put it up above your house 

117
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,240
and you start to look in that 
same 3 feet. 

118
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,920
I mean, you're freaking out. 
It's the same 3 feet, though. 

119
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320
It's still golf. 
It's still a wooden board, and 

120
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,040
you're grabbing onto it. 
OK, well now you put it up at 

121
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,000
2000 feet, you put it up above a
skyscraper and you are hugging 

122
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,360
the board, vomiting, not able to
move across the board. 

123
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,480
But your buddy just says it's a 
2 1/2 foot wide board. 

124
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,680
It's 30 feet long, I'm going to 
walk across it. 

125
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,360
They've learned how to do it 
under a situation that we 

126
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,480
haven't trained for yet, so it 
isn't that scary for them. 

127
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,840
So in your training, what you're
trying to do is level up. 

128
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,040
So it's 15 feet above 30 feet 
above 60 feet above 100 feet 

129
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,520
above. 
So a point, once you have a cup 

130
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,080
above 200 feet, well, I'm going 
to die from a 200 feet, I'm 

131
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,680
going to die from a 2000 feet. 
You, you can shift into a 

132
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800
mindset of like, stick to what 
you know what to do. 

133
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,560
And that's really the best 
analogy I can give you right now

134
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,320
of like, but I know it's the 
same thing. 

135
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,640
It's not it's, it's a completely
different thing because the, the

136
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,400
drop off, the fall is bigger 
than you want to fall, right. 

137
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,400
And so that's really the analogy
I would give. 

138
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,680
So your thoughts and feedback on
that. 

139
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:27,720
That's. 
A great that's a really good 

140
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,840
analogy, actually like that. 
That makes a lot of sense. 

141
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,120
So how do I make the board? 
I feel like it's on the ground 

142
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,720
then when it's. 
Exactly. 

143
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,960
So if you've ever done this, I 
mean, have you ever done a rope 

144
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,200
course? 
Have you ever done? 

145
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,840
Yeah, when I was a kid, I 
remember doing on. 

146
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,320
OK, I'm going to go and show you
a picture right here. 

147
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,520
Totally random. 
Totally. 

148
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,280
Here we go like this, OK? 
See this picture right there? 

149
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,960
OK. 
OK, so I'm on top of a however, 

150
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,440
however tall a Telegraph pole is
a phone call. 

151
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,160
It is high. 
I mean, it's, I don't know, 50 

152
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,440
feet. 
Maybe it's, it's high and you've

153
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,600
got to climb up the side of it 
and then you've got to stand on 

154
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,320
the top of it and then you've 
got to jump off it and grab a 

155
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,720
rope that goes across. 
All I remember is as I went up, 

156
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,200
my body was shaking, violently 
shaking. 

157
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,280
And all I looked at was this one
piece above it and there was a, 

158
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,800
there was a I could see 
something right in front of me. 

159
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,000
So I was climbing up the pole 
here and I could look up and I 

160
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,040
just stared intently. 
And I just told myself, just put

161
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,200
your left foot up, put your 
river. 

162
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,640
My hands are shaking. 
My no, I was tied to a rope. 

163
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,400
So if I fell, nothing was going 
to happen. 

164
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,960
I was just going to bounce. 
You know, I was just going to 

165
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,760
drop 15 feet and I was 60 feet 
up. 

166
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,760
I was going to be totally fine. 
So if you make a triple and you 

167
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,720
miss the cut, nothing's going to
happen. 

168
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,600
Your wife, she'll probably let 
you back in the house. 

169
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,280
Your kids, I mean, they'll look 
at you a little bit differently,

170
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,920
but it's never going to it's, 
you're not going to completely 

171
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,680
scratch and die. 
But I was violently shaking in 

172
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,840
my legs. 
And I, I mean, I was telling 

173
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,600
myself, lift your right leg up 
and it was like, no, I'm not 

174
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,840
going to do anything. 
And so the point being is you 

175
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,320
start to lift, lift it up and 
you have to act under your body 

176
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,240
is not doing what you want it to
do. 

177
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,080
So I would challenge you, if 
you're afraid of heights, go and

178
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,520
do a rope course and, and focus 
on what you do. 

179
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,440
You don't look down. 
What, what, what, what happens. 

180
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,000
You focus in front of you, you 
makes you, you focus on your 

181
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880
breathing. 
So my point is like, the more 

182
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,680
you can do to get completely 
uncomfortable and see what your 

183
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,680
body does, you then start to 
realize like this is a normal 

184
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,280
human reaction because we're 
trying to avoid pain, right? 

185
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,200
You know, like we're trying to 
avoid being killed or dying. 

186
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,799
Now go ahead and grab a Golf 
Club and see what you can do 

187
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:42,760
with a Golf Club when this is 
happening. 

188
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,320
The point being is, is that yes,
you have to start to understand 

189
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,840
that that happens and then learn
how do I go ahead and focus on 

190
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,320
what I want? 
How do I get my bereavement in a

191
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,400
lot in alignment so my body can 
actually work the right way? 

192
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,200
And then how do I go ahead and 
start to look at my expectations

193
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,480
or what I would say is my belief
system and say this is just 

194
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,040
another golf shot and having to 
really, truly believe that. 

195
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Because in the big scheme of 
things for Aaron Rye last 

196
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,880
weekend, it was just another 
golf shot. 

197
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:13,120
It was just another. 
It was another driver off the T 

198
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,480
box. 
It was another iron into the 

199
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,600
green. 
It was another 768 foot putt. 

200
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,840
Like it wasn't when you truly 
look at it wasn't anything apart

201
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,520
from that. 
But then we had a championship 

202
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,000
and a trophy and $15 million in 
FedEx Cup points and all this 

203
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,440
and it becomes difficult. 
And so I mean, that is the R and

204
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,720
we continue to fail at it over 
and over again. 

205
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,920
But each time we fail, the 
ladder goes up a little higher 

206
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,960
and we get more and more 
comfortable to the point where, 

207
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,920
you know, the, the guy that 
works at that park runs up the 

208
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,520
pole and goes look, oh, you 
look, who is this? 

209
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,400
Because he's done it 10,000 
times. 

210
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,320
We do. 
I bet you if I put him on a 700 

211
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,800
foot pole or 80 foot pole or 250
football, he'd be freaking out, 

212
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,520
right? 
And so I always look at Alex 

213
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Tunnel, you know, when that when
he climbed El Capitan with no 

214
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,320
rope, to him it was just another
grab this, grab this, do this. 

215
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,520
It wasn't, oh, you're now 2040 
feet and you're now 2050 feet. 

216
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,160
You're not, you know, so that's 
really The thing is that like 

217
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,200
these are human reactions that 
are going to happen in whatever 

218
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,920
sport when we get out of our 
comfort zone. 

219
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,840
But that's where we grow. 
We grow when we're outside of 

220
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,280
our comfort zone. 
OK, so that's why I, I didn't 

221
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,040
like this is a qualifier that I 
just kind of threw on because I 

222
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,960
wanted a early season Rep 
because I, I know from my past 

223
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,240
experiences that like for me, 
like I got to get reps in under 

224
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,080
this just because like it just 
you get going like this couldn't

225
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,600
have been a less stressful 
event. 

226
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,160
Let's be very clear, right? 
There is no one around. 

227
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,920
It was not a big deal. 
It was like a qualifier for 

228
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,600
something and, and but like 
still like things go so fast. 

229
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,640
Like I made a double on the 1st 
hole because I3 putted from 4 

230
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:53,960
1/2 feet, which was sick. 
And it, it was just like, but 

231
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,080
that little like those reps and 
things are going fast and I'm 

232
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,800
trying to do 334. 
I'm trying to trying to 

233
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,200
visualize, trying to rehearse, 
trying to let go. 

234
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,400
But if things just start going 
right and they're just moving 

235
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,760
and it took me like 5 holes to 
kind of like chill out. 

236
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,640
And then I was like fine air 
after that. 

237
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,960
You know, for you, they speed 
up. 

238
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,160
And this is the big part about 
journaling afterwards because 

239
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,800
lots of people will slow down so
much and they're like, oh, I'm 

240
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,480
going to back off the shot. 
I'm going to slow down. 

241
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760
I'm going to do it all right. 
That they're so overwhelmed that

242
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,440
they play terribly and other 
people ramp up and go too quick.

243
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Other people's mind drops away 
and they don't think at all. 

244
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,720
And they just randomly hit shots
and go, oops, what did I do 

245
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,160
versus I was overthinking. 
So what I would want you to do 

246
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,800
is journal like crazy. 
But OK, so here's what happened.

247
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,440
Things started to go quickly for
me. 

248
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,600
OK, so in the future. 
Oh, look at that. 

249
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Thumbs up. 
Thumbs up. 

250
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,200
Yeah. 
We've got to work on slowing 

251
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,400
everything down. 
So let me ask you this. 

252
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,160
How quickly were you in a rush 
to get to the golf course on the

253
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,600
way over there? 
No, I planned. 

254
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,240
I was good on time. 
Good in your warm up, take me 

255
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,280
through your warm up. 
Once your body was warmed up, 

256
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,680
did you start to pick specific 
shots and targets and start to 

257
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:09,400
get orientated on the target or 
were you still thinking swing? 

258
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:15,760
I did, I I did the last part. 
I did go into shot like shot and

259
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,200
work on routine. 
Did you hit two drivers or two 

260
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,680
irons or the two of the same 
clubs in a row in your last 20 

261
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,880
balls? 
Probably in the last I didn't 

262
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,160
hit that many balls, so I'm sure
I did. 

263
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,800
But I probably played. 
I probably tried to play like, I

264
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,280
don't know, four holes. 
Before did you get a driver that

265
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,080
even like and dragged up another
driver or did you you 

266
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,480
disciplined and then you hit a 7
iron or wedged out? 

267
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,680
OK did you do any up and downs 
before you teed off around the 

268
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:42,160
green? 
Did you make 3 or 4 up and 

269
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,560
downs? 
No, OK. 

270
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:46,480
Did you put out, you know, a 30 
footer and put it all the way 

271
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:47,280
out? 
No. 

272
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,360
So look at this is like, so the 
body was warmed up, the emotions

273
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,960
once, right, So you didn't ship 
onto the green, read the lie, 

274
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,280
slow everything down, walk out, 
pace out the rule of 12, 

275
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,640
whatever you want to use at aim 
point, you know, go through it, 

276
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,800
line it up, make the it's now 
slowing everything down into how

277
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,800
you would play tournament golf, 
right. 

278
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,240
So as you head to the first tee,
it's like, all right, OK, I've 

279
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,840
just focused in on this. 
I just played the first three 

280
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,560
holes. 
I did 2 up and downs. 

281
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,240
I made an 8 footer. 
I hit a lag put to a foot from 

282
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,880
60 feet. 
I'm heading to the tee box and 

283
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,560
my breathing is in a good place.
So do you see like there's a 

284
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:28,320
lesson to you is you're going to
learn a lot more from failure 

285
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,320
than actual success because in 
success is like always what he 

286
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,840
did right? 
And failure, you start to idea 

287
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,160
what you did wrong and how you 
fix it. 

288
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,040
And sometimes it's hard to 
repeat success because you have 

289
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,280
luck, right? 
You're not meant to make a 68 

290
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,880
foot part on the 17th hole of 
the PGA Championship that has 

291
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,320
like 6 feet of break in or 8 
feet of break in it. 

292
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:48,360
If you only have a two shot lead
going into the last, you've only

293
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,240
got to hit one into that right 
bunker and then hit the tree and

294
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,000
drop down and vomit all over 
yourself and you lose, right. 

295
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,160
So point being is, is that when 
you have those breakdowns, 

296
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,000
that's when you're going to 
learn. 

297
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,040
So for me to be journaling and 
starting to realize like, hey, I

298
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,600
didn't fully commit to the to 
the shot that, you know, sorry 

299
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,000
to the to the process right 
before I teed off, I then teed 

300
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,320
off right? 
And then as you said, you got 

301
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,560
super quick over 4 1/2 a putt. 
Well, Ernie missed 5 putts 

302
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:15,560
within 4 feet of the Masters. 
Remember that. 

303
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,280
Right. 
So then it would be like you 

304
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,840
said, Oh, and then I really, I 
was trying to commit. 

305
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,960
Oh no, there's either I try, I 
did or I didn't. 

306
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,960
Like, why are you committing to 
the golf shot? 

307
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,480
And if not, why not? 
Like what was was visualization 

308
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,240
that you struggled with 
commitment or letting go, which 

309
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,760
was the one that you found the 
hardest to do? 

310
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,480
God, I love a good thumbs up 
from you. 

311
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,640
It's still like man, that's 
awesome. 

312
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880
It's just like the word that I 
always use is shallow and I use 

313
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,880
it when we did there our video 
on three 3/4 of just like the 

314
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,960
the difference between like a 
really shallow visualization and

315
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,400
like feeling it of like, OK, I'm
going to hit a good shot, like 

316
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,040
really deep and you know, it 
versus like it's just kind of 

317
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,920
like surface level. 
And like I find it really hard 

318
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,680
to get beyond the surface level 
of just like, OK, I kind of see 

319
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,760
it and back in my old routine of
just like, oh, like I'm just 

320
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,320
waving the club around, taking 
all these practice swings all of

321
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,360
a sudden and then I'm hitting 
the shot and I was like, whoa, 

322
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:12,480
that's not what I'm trying to 
do. 

323
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,600
Like that was not what it that 
was not my goal. 

324
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,720
And so when you've got deep into
the shots, when we've worked 

325
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,160
together, you've hit great 
shots, pulled off shots, and you

326
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,160
realize that's where you want to
get to correct. 

327
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,600
Yes. 
So think about it, it's not a 

328
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,960
mental game, it's an emotional 
game. 

329
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,440
We've got to change our 
Physiology. 

330
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,200
So you see Bryson do this before
he hits the shot at Bay Hill. 

331
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,640
You see Rory bushing, you know, 
you know, you've got to get your

332
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,440
body into it. 
So I would challenge you to 

333
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,720
start to use more Physiology 
when you get out, like come on, 

334
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,400
see the shot. 
And then that's why I'll tell a 

335
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:41,880
lot. 
Or talk yourself through it. 

336
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,600
You have to say it out loud to 
other people, like a nice high 

337
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,360
draw for that right tree, high 
draw off the right tree, boom 

338
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,880
right there. 
So then you can't be like, well,

339
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,040
maybe I'll fade it. 
It's like, no, it's a right 

340
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,040
drawer. 
Look at shot tracer. 

341
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,280
See if you can visualize shot 
tracer going out there. 

342
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Some people can be really good 
general. 

343
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,480
They actually get worse when 
they get too specific because 

344
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,320
they're like, I panic, what if I
don't hit the shot? 

345
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,960
So I would work the 
visualization, but then on the 

346
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,320
emotion, how good would it feel?
Come on, how good would it? 

347
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,840
And like ramp the body up like 
really? 

348
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,040
Because I'd see you and this is 
what we did the other week when 

349
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,360
we did the speed training at the
show. 

350
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,960
And I'm like, come on, hit it 
like you're pumping yourself up 

351
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,200
like that all winter long. 
And then you get on a golf 

352
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,840
course and say, OK, be calm. 
And now see the shot that's not 

353
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,560
calling. 
Like Cody's like I'm going to 

354
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,640
pound the life out of this thing
and a rivet. 

355
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,440
I'd like to see that and then 
get over it because I've never 

356
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,760
seen you guide it when you've 
been doing speed train. 

357
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,320
You're just letting it go. 
I would prefer you to play with 

358
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,760
reckless abandoned and be like, 
I'm just going to RIP. 

359
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,320
I'm going to make some double S.
I'm going to. 

360
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,400
But I could make 7 burdens, 
right? 

361
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,760
I might like 7 birdies and two 
double s and shoot 69. 

362
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,840
So I would be saying that. 
And then obviously the last part

363
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,240
is the commitment. 
And once you're fully 

364
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,360
visualizing the shot, you feel 
good. 

365
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,960
It's easy to commit. 
So that's again, the journaling 

366
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,840
I would say is like, I've got to
get more into my, who I am as a 

367
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,920
player, more commitment. 
I, I'm guaranteed to make 2 

368
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,200
double s in a round, but I think
I can make 7 birdies. 

369
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,400
And then at least you're 
accepting that and you're going 

370
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,040
after it rather than trying to 
be calm, quiet, slow. 

371
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,760
You know, I'm not saying slow 
process, but it's like, you 

372
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,920
know, like guiding versus fully 
committed. 

373
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:12,720
I what? 
I like the word that I'm going 

374
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,480
to remember is like intensity is
bringing maybe intensity to the 

375
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,720
the pre shot routine. 
Yeah, maybe I bring too much of 

376
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,960
like all right, I'm just I'm 
chilled out. 

377
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,240
I'm getting you know, I'm just 
going to be in my head and like 

378
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,319
Zen, Maybe it's like I like that
maybe a bit more intensity 

379
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:30,080
because like, yeah, I I need to 
like it's let's talk about the 

380
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,840
body a little bit too, right, 
Like my golf ball was for the 

381
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,120
first six holes was just going 
like right. 

382
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,480
It's like I couldn't turn 
through the ball, so there's no 

383
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,400
option, but that thing just shot
to the right and it. 

384
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,600
Was like technique. 
What's that? 

385
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:45,520
Everyone's going to screen 
technique. 

386
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,160
Oh, my technique was off. 
I'm like, no. 

387
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,960
So let me ask you this down in 
the hitting zone, did you did 

388
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,560
you see as that? 
Was there a cut? 

389
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Like if I was to give you a 
color of what it looked like, 

390
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,120
felt like sounded like what, 
what would you say down there? 

391
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:01,400
Was it grayed out? 
Was it black? 

392
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,400
Was it, was it was there a color
to it? 

393
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,360
Was there a feeling to the 
bottom of the Gulf? 

394
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:07,920
Swing through to through to the 
turn as you exit. 

395
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:14,520
Was it just felt like, yeah, it 
was, it was just like a Gray 

396
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,200
swing because it was I, I 
couldn't get, I couldn't turn 

397
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,080
through. 
Like I just couldn't rotate 

398
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,680
through. 
I just stuck and it was going 

399
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,440
and it was like we're holding 
on. 

400
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,040
Yeah, so it's just like Gray at 
the bottom, like almost like I 

401
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,400
don't even like unawareness. 
There was no it was just like, 

402
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,520
you know my thing to you would 
be like, I know that tends to 

403
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,880
happen to me. 
So I will get up over shots. 

404
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,480
I'll tear it down low and I'll 
be like, I'm going to RIP a 75 

405
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,920
yard power slice down this 
fairway, pull slice and I'll sit

406
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,080
up there and I'm like, as long 
as I'm fully committed at the 

407
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,840
end of it, I feel like I've done
my job and I'll sit there and 

408
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,040
what about this? 
And I'll be hitting a power 

409
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,720
slice, I'll tow it and hit a 5 
yard draw. 

410
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,560
And I'm like, do you imagine if 
I was trying to get it straight 

411
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,680
right now? 
Because I hope that one all the 

412
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,520
way to another country. 
So the idea here is, is like, 

413
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,240
you've got to start to be like, 
you're right. 

414
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,600
Next time I play, I'm getting up
on that first tee and I'm going 

415
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,600
for 190 ball speed because it 
would be better to get 190 ball 

416
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,080
speed and pump it out of bounds 
and be like, yeah, but I fully 

417
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,440
committed to that. 
Then guide it into the junk. 

418
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,520
And we still made a double. 
And you, you breakthrough that 

419
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,400
initial power like fear because 
I'm sure towards the back nine 

420
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,520
you started to free up a bit, 
right? 

421
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,360
And the driver started to work 
OK. 

422
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,400
And if it was technique, you 
couldn't do it on the back 9 if 

423
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,120
you if you didn't have it on the
back 9, if you had all the back 

424
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:33,400
nine, we could have been on the 
front 9 if you'd never had the 

425
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,280
technique. 
So the tension was higher, the 

426
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,880
shoulders were tighter, the body
didn't turn through. 

427
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,120
So it's like now you're really 
learning golf. 

428
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,120
You're learning like, OK, I, I 
got to get into another 

429
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,680
competition. 
Like your goal is getting a 

430
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,160
competition in the next week. 
As soon as you put, even if it 

431
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,720
was a a money game against three
good players at your club and 

432
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,600
you said, listen, guys, I want 
to throw in 200 bucks. 

433
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,280
So it was like, this is 
uncomfortable. 

434
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,640
I don't lose this, but you need 
to get back into the heat of 

435
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,640
battle because the minute you 
get back into your right, I'm 

436
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,280
going to go and do this today 
and boom, what's the next 

437
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,840
lesson? 
Boom, what's the next lesson? 

438
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,920
And what you're really trying to
do is realize the 1st 10 

439
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,680
tournaments you play error, 
mistake, error, mistake. 

440
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,080
Oh, it's four under for one nine
and then seven over on the back 

441
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,760
right was a had a stretch of 500
or 200 or whatever. 

442
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,600
And you're going to start to 
figure, OK, and you're going to 

443
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,480
piece it together and all these 
pieces, but it just you can't do

444
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,080
it once and think, oh, I'll 
probably do another torment in 

445
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,920
six weeks from now. 
And now, because you'll be back 

446
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,720
to fresh your even if you 
journal this stuff, it won't be 

447
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,880
in you, you know, I'm saying. 
So you've got to get back the 

448
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,160
fire and get after that. 
This I'm such a big proponent of

449
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,360
people go sign up for something 
to put something on the 

450
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,040
calendar, like get something on 
the calendar so you can go like 

451
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,120
you have a reason to practice, 
you have a reason to train. 

452
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:43,120
And then you like go experience 
all this stuff, this different 

453
00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:46,440
sport of golf that you you 
haven't experienced. 

454
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,480
It's different. 
It's like it. 

455
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,400
It's so different. 
Well, I, I tell my players so 

456
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,880
like we'll have been priced and 
I didn't play good. 

457
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,000
I'm like, OK, so for a year and 
a half you've been going to the 

458
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,560
track and you've been running 
and you've been doing 110 meter 

459
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,600
hurdles and that is running. 
And then you showed up to the 

460
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,040
Boston Marathon. 
So it's still running it. 

461
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,240
You just are not prepared for 
what's about to happen. 

462
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,160
Like you're going to Sprint the 
1st 100 meters and 800 meters. 

463
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,920
You're like, why am I feeling 
like I'm going to die? 

464
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,840
It's like it looks the same but 
it isn't the same. 

465
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,280
And this is where again, the 
more I think the better the 

466
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,360
golfer. 1G ball consequences on 
every shot. 

467
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:23,280
Do nine holes up and down. 
Go and play worst ball golf. 

468
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,200
Go and have to make 10A row from
4 feet. 

469
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,240
Don't have block practice. 
I tell people it's like doing 

470
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,760
scales. 
If you are a world class 

471
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,080
musician, you don't just sit 
there and do scales all day. 

472
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,680
You got to get out on stage. 
But what we do is we do scales 

473
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,080
all day and go, I'm not ready to
go on stage. 

474
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,720
I'm not ready. 
What a certain point You just 

475
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,600
got to get on stage in front of 
three people and mess it up, but

476
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,800
then free it up and then you got
in front of 30 people. 

477
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,440
You don't just go from scales to
being world class. 

478
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,360
And so to me, it is like getting
off of the scales, getting off 

479
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:51,920
doing the right thing and go and
make some mistakes, you know, 

480
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,560
and get out there, but journal 
like crazy and get honest with 

481
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,600
yourself because this whole, 
well, I didn't feel, you know, I

482
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,080
was sharing with you, Cody, you 
have one of my students. 

483
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,840
Well, I, I, you know, I didn't 
feel any nerves. 

484
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,680
I didn't feel any pressure. 
But you couldn't feel the weight

485
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,240
of the club head and had no idea
where the ball was going. 

486
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,920
No, that is called nerves, 
right. 

487
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,160
So at the top of that pole when 
my body was shaking like crazy, 

488
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,640
that's just called nerves, 
anxiety, worry, tension. 

489
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:21,000
I don't care what you call it, 
it's my body wasn't doing what 

490
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,960
it normally does. 
You're going to say, OK, it was 

491
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,240
different. 
So what is that difference? 

492
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,200
And then you have to start to 
get honest on like, I've got to 

493
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,400
train to a point where I want 
that gut feeling. 

494
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,280
I want my stomach to be tight 
when I train. 

495
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,720
Because if not, you're going to 
the gym and you're doing your 

496
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,800
curls with 5 LB weights, you're 
not tearing any muscle. 

497
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,320
You're not going to get 
stronger. 

498
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,640
You got to go and lift your Max 
and the next day you're sore and

499
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,440
hurting. 
But now instead of 35 lbs, you 

500
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,760
get a 40 lbs or whatever that 
number might be for you. 

501
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,560
And most of us aren't allowing 
that muscle to happen. 

502
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,360
But twice a year, play a 
tournament, go I suck. 

503
00:22:56,360 --> 00:22:59,480
And then I'll go back to giving 
myself 4 footers. 

504
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,000
I'll go back to not having the 
proper penalty strokes. 

505
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,880
I'll bump my lies. 
I'm not putting it down. 

506
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,160
You're just having fun playing 
golf. 

507
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,120
But that's not tournament golf. 
That is just fun golf. 

508
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,360
And that is not the same. 
It's completely different. 

509
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,120
Tournament golf is great and 
it's terrible. 

510
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,520
Why do we do it? 
OK, So what were you saying? 

511
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,520
You're saying the journaling 
thing like is the idea like 

512
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,880
journal some of these things 
that worked and didn't work and 

513
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,240
then so next time remember like 
hey, on the the first three 

514
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,160
holes and things like start 
going fast. 

515
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,400
Like this is the thing to 
remember was like that, that the

516
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,800
idea. 
Like if you think about this 

517
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,920
Cordy's playbook and this would 
be an awesome thing I think you 

518
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,320
for you to do with golf. 
Well would be Cordy's playbook 

519
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,040
and for everybody. 
It's like my playbook is before 

520
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,120
tournaments. 
I will always start to think 

521
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,120
technique and put myself on 
video and I'm screwed if I do it

522
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:43,640
because I go oh right, I'm 
dipping underneath it again. 

523
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,200
I have. 
Do you want to see you want to 

524
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,120
see a video of me during the 
warm up, of how my swing is 

525
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:51,240
looking then during the warm up?
So I have to go to, hey, I've 

526
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,320
got to play power cuts. 
I've got to tear it down low. 

527
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,040
I've got to play worst ball golf
a lot. 

528
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,560
I've got to go ahead and focus 
on 334. 

529
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,240
I have to talk my way into the 
shots. 

530
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,280
Like I want you to literally 
have a playbook that you read 

531
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,160
the week before this. 
Hey, do you remember that movie 

532
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,240
51st Dates with Adam Sandler? 
Vaguely. 

533
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,640
The the the girl has a crash, 
has a car crash as a kid and she

534
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:13,840
forgets everything every 
morning. 

535
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
He dates her and every morning 

536
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,840
she has to watch a video. 
By the way, we're married and we

537
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,200
have kids and we live on a boat 
now and like literally have to 

538
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,040
plug in and go, hey, Will, 
you're a golfer. 

539
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,320
And guess what? 
When you're playing tournaments,

540
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,400
you suck because you know what 
you do? 

541
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,240
You worry about school. 
You worry about what people are 

542
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,320
going to think about you. 
You try to hit a draw. 

543
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,520
You try and affect your golf 
swing. 

544
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,560
By the way, this doesn't work. 
But we do have a formula over 

545
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,720
here. 
And what this formula is is warm

546
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,040
come up this way the first three
holes, focus on this did it did 

547
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,200
that when you get under par and 
you're not feeling it, back off 

548
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,760
of shots, pick easier shots, 
take extra club like and you 

549
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,080
basically only figure it out by 
messing it up right. 

550
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:53,480
And then you go up. 
Don't do that again. 

551
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,280
Don't do that again. 
And this is the difference 

552
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,640
between when you hit a 
conversations after the round, 

553
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,040
you hear Shane Lowry after he 
finished double bogey bogey and 

554
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,840
lost the tournament. 
And I, you know, I wanted my 

555
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,880
daughters see me and I didn't 
happen. 

556
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,560
And and he was just heartbroken 
because he had put it on that 

557
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,200
rather the process of Matt 
Fitzpatrick or Tommy Fleetwood. 

558
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,560
Oh, I'm just getting close every
week. 

559
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,680
I know I'm trending in the right
way. 

560
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,280
I'm feeling good about it. 
This isn't positive self talk 

561
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,960
because it's just logic is like 
everything's trending in a good 

562
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,680
direction. 
Like I feel it's coming 

563
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,240
together. 
I know I didn't get it today, 

564
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,720
but my goodness, it's getting 
close. 

565
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,640
And I think that the breakout 
player, I think for the next 18 

566
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,280
months is going to be Goberg 
because he just keeps on getting

567
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,400
in a position to win and doesn't
right? 

568
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,440
But he keeps he's right around 
it. 

569
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,480
What every time you do that, you
get more and more comfortable 

570
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,880
and go yet don't rush that shot.
Don't do that. 

571
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,680
Don't do this. 
Well, then you have all that 

572
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,040
information. 
Then you start winning like 

573
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,240
crazy. 
And so like that to me is like, 

574
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,400
we have to have a playbook. 
So I'd love you to work on your 

575
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,680
playbook, share it with everyone
to golf well and be like, look 

576
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,160
like, here's what I'm learning 
about me and I've got to apply 

577
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,040
that when I go and play, go and 
play that when I go and train. 

578
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:06,120
How like the one thing I do know
is like, boy, I hit some skanky 

579
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:10,360
iron shots like in tournament 
golf, but they work out because 

580
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,920
I like I don't hit him pure and 
flush them, but they go pretty 

581
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,440
straight and like decent. 
And I know it's just because 

582
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,840
like, well, I, it goes back to 
technique of like I can feel my 

583
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,240
body like handle going up, 
handle going up and like I'm 

584
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,280
just not rotating early, 
extending and doing this. 

585
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,040
Like I feel it happened and 
like, oh God, that was rough. 

586
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:35,360
But I'll get away with it. 
And like I just, I, there are a 

587
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,760
few swings around where I'll 
like, OK, I actually rotated 

588
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,920
through that one and like made 
it through. 

589
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,000
And man, I just would love to 
freaking be able to commit 

590
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,280
enough to rotate through every 
time. 

591
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,120
And. 
That's what exaggerate. 

592
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,720
That's what you have to 
exaggerate, right? 

593
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,040
So if you know my tendency, 
right, is up and under the ball.

594
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,520
So I have to feel. 
Like this when? 

595
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,040
I worked on video and it looks 
like this. 

596
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,880
You've got to massively 
exaggerate. 

597
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,200
So if your tendency is not to 
rotate, you know, you see guys 

598
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,400
swinging Graham McDowell across 
the ball, you see all these 

599
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,280
crazy swing positions and 
they're just calibrating what 

600
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,760
feel is versus what real is, 
right? 

601
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,960
So I would be you is massively 
exaggerate it until my ball 

602
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,280
starts power fading. 
Then I can be like, oh, I could 

603
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,840
tee it up a little bit higher 
and I can start to let it go a 

604
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,200
little bit. 
But if I do that a couple holes 

605
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,520
in a row now I've also got to be
worried if there's trouble on 

606
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,840
the left in a bit, I might slow 
the hips down, stall the 

607
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,880
shoulders and snap a thing into 
the water or pull it even. 

608
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,920
I have both shots. 
So I would just be saying to 

609
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,800
you, you've got to massively 
exaggerate that in training and 

610
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,440
way overdo it when you're 
playing. 

611
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,480
It's just it, it's so impressive
to to watch pros play and, and 

612
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,480
how they maintain their golf 
swings in the highest amount of 

613
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,280
pressure and don't just revert 
back to, you know. 

614
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,720
But think about it 
realistically, OK, listening. 

615
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,760
Everybody has put 10,000 hours 
into something, right? 

616
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,360
And they're an expert at 
something. 

617
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,480
And so you might be sitting at a
card table playing with a 

618
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,840
$15,000 hand, or you might have 
a stock trade that's a 50,000 or

619
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,920
$5,000,000 trade, or you might 
be driving a $600,000 car. 

620
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,600
But you're like, it isn't for 
them the same as what it is in 

621
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,360
terms of like their ladder is so
high up, their, their piece of 

622
00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:28,680
their plank is so high up. 
They're so used to it. 

623
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,360
It's only when they get outside 
of that. 

624
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,840
So when you're hitting 500 balls
a day, seven days a week with a 

625
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,360
pro watching you, you have a 
personal trainer and you've been

626
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:38,720
doing this for 2020 years for 
most of them. 

627
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,160
Like you don't understand like 
then very rarely feeling that 

628
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,000
it's only when it comes down to 
the stretch a couple times a 

629
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,400
year we're in the very final 
because they're so good. 

630
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,680
They're just a couple putts here
and there doesn't get them into 

631
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,160
the final group and but they 
still make 275,000 or 700,000. 

632
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,480
So I would just be challenged 
just to realize like each and 

633
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,320
every one of this listening here
can do stuff, even if it's 

634
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,880
playing video games where you're
on level 27 and you it's just, 

635
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,040
how are you doing that? 
Well, I'm just not thinking like

636
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,720
I'm just, I'm just doing it 
instinctively because I've 

637
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,760
trained it. 
But then we play golf once a 

638
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,480
week, hit balls once a month, 
get a lesson once a year. 

639
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,200
And we think we should be 
instinctive. 

640
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:22,280
It's like we all drive a car 
texting to listen to music, one 

641
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,200
handed knee on the wheel driving
when you first learn how to 

642
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,600
drive your freaking out, making 
sure it's like because it's 

643
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,440
begin to have instinctive. 
So understand like it's we 

644
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,560
cannot look at those players and
think we're anywhere even close 

645
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,520
to that because for them, they 
literally hit 500 balls a day on

646
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,800
track, man on quad with their 
pro standing behind them and 

647
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,200
they're getting the refinements 
of a of a Formula One car or a 

648
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,960
fighter jet. 
You know, I mean, and we are, 

649
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,600
we're a crappy blue Chevy Nova 
1987 with a bus transmission and

650
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,480
an old exhaust, so. 
I'm just so tired of shooting 

651
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,520
between, I don't know, 75 and 82
in tournaments for Frick's sake.

652
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Yeah, but you're getting close. 
You're getting close. 

653
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,400
This is the year guarantee it 
guarantees of you. 

654
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,360
You break 70, I'll put money on 
it. 

655
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,000
You tell me the amount. 
I'll bet it. 

656
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,600
How much money? 
Oh, wait. 

657
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:19,480
You tell me, we'll do $100 bill,
$100 bill for. $100 bill. 

658
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,840
Yeah, otherwise it is 10 grand. 
You're just intentionally going 

659
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,200
to shoot 80 twos every day. 
Yeah, yeah. 

660
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,240
OK. 
Well, that was fun. 

661
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,560
Thanks for helping me cope after
after another classic Cordy 

662
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,480
tournament round of golf, my 
wife always asked me. 

663
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:34,840
Now at this point she's like, So
what? 

664
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,600
Like why don't you play good in 
these? 

665
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,800
Like I'm going to call will do 
what he says. 

666
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,760
Exactly, man, let's keep doing 
this, let's keep sharing the 

667
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,200
knowledge, and that's good 
stuff. 

668
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,160
Thank you for your help. 
See you will. 

669
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:51,120
Oh yeah.
