00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,320
Hi, this is Fred Green of
Golf Smarter with our spring back into Golf

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,759
season with the late Tony Manzoni.
In previous years of replaying these episodes as

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,559
part of our archived content, we
kept it to a hand picked selection of

4
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:21,239
nine. But this time and for
the future, because of your response,

5
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:27,079
we're going to feature every episode in
order that Tony discussed his single pivot swing

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,280
method, his incredible College of the
Desert Golf Team's success, his book and

7
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:38,119
video, and stories about his relationship
with the rich and famous from Palm Springs,

8
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:43,759
including the godfather of his daughter,
Frank Sinatra. Last episode from July

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,719
twenty eleven was just after he released
his book The Loss Fundamental, One Simple

10
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:54,520
Move, Better Golf Forever. But
you probably have never heard this episode because

11
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,560
it was for members only in April
twenty twelve and has never been replayed.

12
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,200
We recorded this just after his video
of the same name was published on DVD.

13
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,560
After he passed away in twenty eighteen, both the book and the DVD

14
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,920
were out of print, so we
were instrumental in getting his widow to agree

15
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:19,000
to republish the book on Amazon,
including the Kindle format, and allowing us

16
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,400
to distribute the video online. All
this was with the promise to create a

17
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:30,359
tax deductible fund created in his memory
to benefit the first t of Coachella Valley.

18
00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:34,040

26
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,639
Smarter for members only. Tony.
How are you doing. I'm doing well

27
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,360
and I'm so glad to have you
back on the show. You are such

28
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,400
a fan favorite, a listener favorite
on Golf Smarter. I'm just so pleased

29
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,039
that you've gotten such nice reaction from
the Golf Smarter audience. Well, I

30
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,599
do appreciate that Fred and you know
this is a labor of love for me,

31
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,280
and I'm sure it is for YouTube. Oh yeah. We have a

32
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:43,199
passion about golf and golf instruction,
and you know, I'm just trying to

33
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,840
get something out there that helps people. It's not an ego basis. I've

34
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:51,800
done a lot of reading and I
believe every day that I listen to people

35
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,599
teach I learned something and I'm just
trying to get this down to where it's

36
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,719
great for the consumer, that they
can understand it and do it well.

37
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:02,800
That's what's so special about your teachings
is that you are able to communicate it

38
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:12,319
in a fashion that the average,
the average golfer, the just the lay

39
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,319
person understands what you're saying. And
it's not so technical, but it is

40
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:22,919
concise. And I think that that
also is true to a testimony to how

41
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,360
well your teams do at College of
the Desert. Yeah, we do have

42
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:30,039
a great record, and we're off
to a good start again with four and

43
00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,479
zero in league playing, and we've
played three invatationals one two and and that

44
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:39,080
was the second place in one.
So we're off and running. We're you

45
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,639
know, we're going after our twenty
fourth consecutive year to win the conference,

46
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,479
which is kind of crazy, but
yeah, it is what it is.

47
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,439
And you know, we we have
a new team every two years, so

48
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,520
it's not like we have this dynasty
that we're building here. But well,

49
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:58,199
I mean, the weather, the
weather doesn't certainly doesn't hurt. So we

50
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,400
draw some nice young man and so
far we've been lucky. Ke've drawing them

51
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:06,879
and we're saying the right things and
they're producing. Well, that's what's so

52
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:12,479
interesting is you say that these kids
only play for two years. What age

53
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,160
are your team members? What are
they raised? Right out of high school?

54
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:21,519
You know, eighteen nineteen years old? So they're all yet man,

55
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,759
and they all have a dream of, you know, playing this game professionally,

56
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,800
So we try to put them on
that track. Obviously they all can

57
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:33,319
make it. We show them the
work ethic that's needed. Okay, so

58
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:38,240
I know that you don't have much
of an issue talking about your age.

59
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,360
How old are you again, I'm
seventy five. You're seventy five, and

60
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:46,000
you're dealing with eighteen and nineteen year
old which could easily be grandchildren or even

61
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,560
great grandchildren at some point. Well, yeah, they're really might they become

62
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,279
my children? There's no question about
that. Yeah, and I love it,

63
00:04:56,319 --> 00:05:00,439
I really do. I learned from
them in some ways. It keeps

64
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:03,319
me from getting caught in the gap, you know, and staying segments.

65
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,079
So it's a win win for both
of us well. And it goes back

66
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:15,120
to what we were just speaking on
that your ability to communicate with eighteen and

67
00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:21,680
nineteen year olds, and clearly to
have going on your twenty fourth consecutive regional

68
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:27,600
championship, you must be doing something
to gain their respect, to not have

69
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:30,720
attitude from these kids, because that's
an age where they can really have a

70
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,399
lot of attitude when they come in
and tell you that, what do you

71
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:40,480
know, old man? You know, it's I'm just so impressed. Well,

72
00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:45,120
you know, it's not easy at
times. I'm not going to say

73
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,360
that it's always simple. We get
a few kids, but you know,

74
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:51,519
as I tell all the boys on
my team, I don't care if you're

75
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:56,959
a plus five. If you're a
jerk and you want to stay a jerk,

76
00:05:56,959 --> 00:05:59,800
then you're not going to be part
of my team. Becay's winning championships

77
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,800
is is important, but buillion character
is much more important. And that's what

78
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,519
I'm really here for a lot of
these young people haven't had a lot of

79
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,399
parenting for for whatever reason. And
that's part of my responsibility is as a

80
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:17,879
golf coach, is to help them
on that part of it because the majority

81
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,959
of them are going to go on
to work in the golf business or do

82
00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:26,680
something, and it's my responsibility to
show them what they need to do to

83
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,800
be successful. And you know,
that's just how it goes. And I

84
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,040
love the kids, and you know, I learned a little bit. I

85
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:35,079
mean, I'm not really crazy about
their music, but they're not crazy about

86
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:41,839
Frank Sinatra either. You know that's
right. You know, I'll tell you

87
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:47,399
something. I can almost guarantee you
that it's going to be faster for them

88
00:06:47,439 --> 00:06:51,279
to appreciate Sinatra than it will be
for you to appreciate their music. I

89
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:57,920
know when my when my younger kid
came out of college and started telling me

90
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,199
about Frank Sinatra, discovered Frank Sinatra
and how cool he was, I'm like,

91
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,240
oh my gosh, you're kidding.
Really, that doesn't mean I have

92
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:11,040
to listen. I don't have to
listen now all cool Jay do I that's

93
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,600
funny, But you know, every
you know, when we were kids,

94
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,079
we had our own little fashions and
some of the things. And I try

95
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,439
not to be too you know,
judgmental about some of the things they do,

96
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:27,639
but some of the things that I
can see that it's it's a determ

97
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,360
from them. People are going to
misjudge them. But where their pants down

98
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:35,399
and all that sag and stuff.
And I don't want to jump on them

99
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,480
being critical pull your pants and that
kind of thing, because that just makes

100
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,920
them resist more. So I try
to explain to them, you know,

101
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,399
what they're projecting and how that hurts
them financially, and also people draw conclusions

102
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:54,639
about them that aren't true, and
a little by little by little, bartipulate

103
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:01,000
way and just trying to make sense
without saying don't it starts changing And that's

104
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,360
always feel the better. That's a
nice approach. I tell me, you

105
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:09,800
got choices in life. You can
be common or you can be special,

106
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,800
and I really really hope you choose
special. And when you talk like that,

107
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,519
their eyes open up a little bit, you know, so their minds.

108
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,639
Well, that was a great piece
of That's a great golf tip right

109
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,519
there. That for any parent and
any teacher, that's a that's a great

110
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:31,079
piece of advice. Thank you.
Very much. Well, as we dole

111
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,200
out these congratulations, let me also
throw out that the DVD, The Lost

112
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,879
Fundamental DVD has been created, published
and released and it will be available on

113
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:48,159
the Golf Smarter website. Thank you
very much, as well as the loost

114
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,279
Fundamental dot com. Talk to me
about your new DVD, The Lost Fundamental

115
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,919
that supports the book The Lost Fundamental
One Simple Move Better Golf Forever. Well,

116
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,159
I was lucky enough to me the
young man by the Adrian Herze,

117
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,960
and he really helped me put this
together. When we're trying to do a

118
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:13,720
DVD, it's really easy to talk
too much and trying to get your point

119
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,159
across, so we edit it down
to her It's almost almost too simple,

120
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,759
but that's the way I wanted it. Uh And I think it's going to

121
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:24,159
be very effective if people watch it. You have to watch it a couple

122
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,799
of times. The only downside to
it you realize how old I really am.

123
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:35,080
I've got a young voice. But
anyway, all kidding aside, I'm

124
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:39,799
very happy with the DVD. It's
just a reflection of the book and for

125
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:45,200
those of us that learned better by
watching, I think it shures the purpose.

126
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,519
Mm hmmm. Tell me about where
you start on the DV. Well,

127
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,159
how is the DVD different than the
book. Well, it's just visual.

128
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,200
The concept is there, it's the
same. It's the same concept.

129
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,600
Uh. But you see, I
use three different age groups and teach them

130
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,519
basically the same thing. You can
see their flexibility issues are different. But

131
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,600
again I what I primarily say is, look, this works for everybody,

132
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,200
and this is an easy way to
play the game. And you're not to

133
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,360
injure your back. Uh. That's
that's the message. And I promise you

134
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:26,799
that if you look at so many
of the young players on tour, they're

135
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,840
they're staying centered over that golf ball. They're not moving their head to the

136
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:33,000
right anymore. Uh. And and
and it's not something new, it's something

137
00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:37,559
that they're going they're going back to. It's what It's what Hogan did,

138
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,600
it's what Nicholas did, it's what
Palmer did, what Trvino did. None

139
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:45,879
of those guys swayed off the ball, and and their careers lasted a long

140
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:48,679
time. As we hit at a
certain age, it's really hard to move

141
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,600
off the ball and back onto it
while you're trying to hit that thing in

142
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:54,799
the back of the back of it. You know, it's really hard to

143
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:01,120
do that. It's it's it's doable, but the old you get it becomes

144
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:05,039
impossible. So that's what that's what
my DVD's about. You can actually see

145
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:11,679
the person doing this, and that's
that's the proof of the pudding. Uh

146
00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:16,519
yeah, I noticed that as well, and I think that the thing that

147
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,279
came across in our multiple conversations before
even that you have the pictures in the

148
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:26,440
book, but you talk about the
way and how that's just deadly to your

149
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,000
swing, right. It's just you
know, there's been some great players,

150
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:35,320
Curtis Strange, who's a big swayer
off the ball. There's some great players

151
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,080
that were but I don't think you
can continue that, especially as you get

152
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,679
it into your senior years. And
so what I think, I think it

153
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,600
becomes almost impossible. Most of the
people you see on the driveway and you

154
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:50,840
see them get off their right foot
and their body swings back. They're going

155
00:11:50,879 --> 00:11:52,080
in the opposite direction, and then
they say, well, I guess I'm

156
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,519
getting older and I can't hit anywhere. Well, you can't hit anywhere with

157
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,879
your arms, but if you learn
how to use your core properly and get

158
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:01,639
your body in the right position relative
to the ball and impact, you can

159
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,399
hit it a lot farther than you
think you can. And that's what I'm

160
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:07,360
finding I have. That's the thing
that I hear more than anything else.

161
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:13,480
I'm hitting a father, and that's
from people that are fifty sixty, seventy,

162
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:16,240
they even got eighty six years old, taking a lesson from me,

163
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,000
and he claims he's farther than he
did when he was twenty and twenty years

164
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,759
old. I'm not twenty years old
and twenty years ago. So because he's

165
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,440
hitting more square, and that's the
whole thing. You don't mishit it when

166
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,840
you're on the ball, when you're
moving back and forth, it's just so

167
00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:39,720
hard to catch your flush. I
recently took a trip with of my buddies.

168
00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:43,440
I talk about this every year we
go on this golf trip, and

169
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,519
I noticed one of the things in
looking at photographs of us at the end

170
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,200
of the weekend. I have one
friend who just he has no distance.

171
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,399
He has a really tough time hitting
the ball farther than one hundred and fifty

172
00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:03,399
hundred and sixty yards. And I
noticed that not only is he most of

173
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,799
his weight is on his back foot
throughout the swing and definitely at the end

174
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,600
of his swing. But he also
does not help me on this one.

175
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:16,879
He doesn't pivot his back foot at
all. He's right handed, so it's

176
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:20,000
his right foot. But when he's
done with the swing, not only is

177
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:26,200
he leaning far back, but his
right foot his back foot is still pointed

178
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,440
to where the ball was teed up. Sure, sure as it must be,

179
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,519
because if you put any any weight
at all on the right side and

180
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,960
then try to turn your body left
or it has to go here, he

181
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,559
gets stuck. And and I'll tell
you you put a lot of pressure on

182
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,639
your lower back. So for the
listeners out there that are doing that,

183
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,799
just put all your weight on your
left foot to lift your heel of your

184
00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,440
right foot off off the ground so
that you're just on the till barely weight

185
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,679
there, and then just turn your
chest and shoulders. You'll see that you

186
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,960
can turn left quiet aways. Then
if you put some weight on that right

187
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,600
foot, try the same thing and
you'll see that you'll stop midway. And

188
00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:07,519
that's where most people are, so
they don't get the full force of the

189
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:13,559
body driving through that golf ball.
You watch a good boxer, you know

190
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,320
it isn't in our motion. It's
a body motion, and and everything throwing

191
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,759
the ball. Whatever the body has
to be, has to be in position

192
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,159
for the throw. It has to
be in position for the punch. So

193
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,240
if it's not a position you're gonna
it's gonna be a weak motion. And

194
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,039
that's what this is all about.
I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here

195
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:37,080
and then Holding discover this as have
a lot of players. But the closer

196
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:41,879
you're the center of gravity of the
body is about four or five inches below

197
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:46,240
the navel. The closer that center
of gravity is during the backswings to the

198
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,279
pivot leg, the faster you're gonna
pivot, and the freer you're gonna pivot.

199
00:14:50,399 --> 00:14:54,080
That's just that's just a scientific fact. That's not that's not Tony Mansoni's

200
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,159
theory or anybody else's theory. That's
just how it is. And Holding them

201
00:14:56,279 --> 00:15:01,600
smart enough to discover this in a
book called Actual Them Golf Uh with one

202
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:07,039
of his students, John Sleeve,
he said, I find that the more

203
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,559
I'm on the left side of the
top of the swing, I can pivot

204
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:16,320
my shoulders faster around my left my
left axis, consequently hitting the ball farther.

205
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:22,399
So Hopey made this statement a lot
time ago. It's just that there's

206
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,320
only so many people caught this thing. Well, isn't that reverse weight shift?

207
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:28,600
No, I had nothing to do
with reverse wayship. Reverse weight shifts

208
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:33,039
is on the on the dolls wing
where your body is going backwards towards the

209
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,960
right foot. You can put all
the way you want on the left side

210
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,240
at the top, as long as
you move forward with the second move.

211
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,600
So you know, I mean,
you know, when you try to hit

212
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,679
a ball low, you're you're you're
moving forward, then the club closes a

213
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,960
little bit. Well, in a
sense, we're just centering ourselves on the

214
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,159
golf ball instead of putting our heads
behind the golf ball, and we make

215
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:58,639
contact as we're turning through the ball. We're not We're not making contact as

216
00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:03,559
we face the ball. We're making
contact as our body has rotated towards the

217
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,120
target. If you think about Anxie
Sorensen, she had one of the best

218
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,159
moves I've ever seen except for Hogan, because she looked like she was looking

219
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:12,279
at the target when she hit the
ball. But that was just because she

220
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:18,879
was moving through prior to impact.
And that's where all that power came from.

221
00:16:18,919 --> 00:16:26,240
At the very beginning of this answer, you mentioned lifting the heel of

222
00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:30,600
your right foot. Now, is
that just as a test or in your

223
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,559
setup? As a test as a
test, but one of the things that

224
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:41,799
I do to ensure as I put
my right foot, I kicked my knee

225
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:45,360
in and I put I really feel
my weight on the inside edge of my

226
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,360
right foot, and as I coil, I try not to gather any more

227
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:52,679
weight than that position. And then
when my hip turns behind me, my

228
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,919
shoulder turns behind me, I'm actually
displacing weight more towards the left side.

229
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,279
If I was in a cylinder and
I turned my right shoulder, my weight

230
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,960
would be going towards my left side. There's no question about that, and

231
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,759
no one could argue with that.
Uh. And so so what I'm doing

232
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:14,960
is I'm I'm bracing between the instep
of the right foot and and the and

233
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,599
the instep of the left foot.
So I embraced there, but primarily the

234
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,680
majority of my weight is left,
okay, because that's where I have to

235
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,519
have that impact. So I'm just
kind of cheating a little bit. I'm

236
00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:27,359
getting it over there sooner. See, Now, all I have to do

237
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:32,720
is to rotate hard, rotate around
that axis, and the club had comes

238
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,319
the last. My body is first, and I get I get terrific compression

239
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:37,880
on the ball, you know,
for for our old guy, I can

240
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,640
still hit the ball. They're pretty
good, uh shockingly Uh. And I'm

241
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,319
certainly not a physical specimen. But
I'm in the position to hit it as

242
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:52,599
destiny with as much power that I
have. And I think everybody out there

243
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:59,079
probably hasn't reached that position unless they've
read my book and been practicing. Uh.

244
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,759
If they're in the middle, their
standswer on that right side when they're

245
00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:03,920
hitting the golf ball in there's no
way they're compressing the golf ball like they

246
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,440
can. And then of course there's
the the sweeping of the ball versus the

247
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,440
compression of the ball, you know, or trying to lift the ball.

248
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,200
That's the other thing I found that
the same player did. Not only is

249
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,119
he not turning, but he's with
all that weight going backwards. It looks

250
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,759
as if he's trying to lift the
ball. He's not letting the club do

251
00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:27,240
its job well. With you're way
going backwards, your arm still only goes

252
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:30,640
so far. And then they start
going up so as I tell people when

253
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,839
you hit a ball fatter hit the
ball thin, it's because you're behind the

254
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,319
ball. That's that's the reason.
I mean, you know, it shows

255
00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:42,079
itself in a different form, but
you're behind the ball. When you're moving

256
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,920
through the ball, the club is
still it's actually it's shallowing out. But

257
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,079
when you stay way behind it,
the club that is going up, it

258
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:55,200
has to go up because your center
of your swing is a foot or two

259
00:18:55,279 --> 00:19:00,200
behind that golf ball. So the
forward arc starts way too early. And

260
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,359
that's why a lot of people can't
get an iron in the air because they're

261
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,039
too far behind the ball. Oh
well, actually, now that we're going

262
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:11,200
to con I know this friend is
not listening to this, so I'm going

263
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,200
to keep and I'm not even to
use his name. So I'm going to

264
00:19:14,279 --> 00:19:17,920
keep talking about this because I noticed
so many things after talking with you so

265
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,920
many times, I'm now looking at
at other people so differently than I had

266
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,559
in the past, because basically I
wasn't looking at them, I was looking

267
00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:30,759
at their ball. But he tops
the ball a lot, I mean,

268
00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:34,200
there's there. It's frequent that the
ball is rolling off off the tee.

269
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,000
I mean he rarely we get all
excited when he hits the ball in the

270
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:40,960
air. Boa great hit. Whether
it goes right or left, it doesn't

271
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,079
matter. It's like, oh,
you got it, you make great contact.

272
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,039
Do you hit the ball in the
air. Well, there's two things

273
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:48,799
that cause toffees. I've always believed
when people say you looked up, that's

274
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:55,079
just infanity because nobody's looking up.
But what if you tighten up prior to

275
00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,000
impact where everything stops. When you
tighten your hands in the anticipation of him,

276
00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:04,039
fact, your arms pull back,
your muscles contract so the club comes

277
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,880
up a little bit. That's one
way to top it. That's how most

278
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,480
people. I always tell people,
you top it because you're tightened up,

279
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:15,039
not look up. But and how
how can we notice? Because I noticed

280
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:17,680
that he when he's about to hit
the ball, even when he pulls his

281
00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:23,599
club back, his whole face just
turns into as if he's he's trying to

282
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,640
How do I be kind about that? He's got to look It's because he's

283
00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:32,799
he's he has a hit thought,
he's absolutely doing it perfect. He's telling

284
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,680
his body that he's going to hit
something. The body FLEs it up,

285
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:41,319
getting ready for that blow. That's
why everyone talks about swinging through the ball,

286
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,400
swinging past the ball, using the
ball as a point of reference to

287
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:48,240
line line the body, but not
not as a target once. When you

288
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:51,359
when you do that, your instincts
are going to jump right in and you're

289
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,559
going to tighten up your hands,
and you're going to do it now.

290
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,400
Some great players can purposely try to
hit it a little harder, but I

291
00:20:56,519 --> 00:21:00,680
promise you we've all done this.
We take one more thub on a hole

292
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,680
because we think, well, I'll
hit an easy five instead of a six,

293
00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:06,720
and you blow it right over the
green. Well, that's because you're

294
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,480
swung. We're trying to hear anything. You're swinging smooth, so you're you

295
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,160
get you get maximum flexibility, you
get maximum uh thrust, you get everything.

296
00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:19,559
Nothing swolling down at impact. And
when we topped the ball, it's

297
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,920
an accelerating move. Uh. That's
why I say when you when you stay

298
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,039
behind the golf ball and you're gonna, you're gonna you're never gonna get fairly

299
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:32,920
loose up. I can tell you
that you forget about hit the three with

300
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:34,799
in the air. It's just not
gonna happen. Uh. You've got to

301
00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:38,720
be moving through that golf ball,
so that club can shallow out and catch

302
00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:41,680
that ball a little bit on the
down. If you're hanging back, it's

303
00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:45,400
it's that club's coming up too soon
and you're gonna hit. You're gonna hit

304
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,519
the middle or top of the ball. So for somebody who's been playing the

305
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:52,480
game for twenty thirty years and has
all these issues, it's not going to

306
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:56,599
be very easy for them to make
some some changes into their swing, into

307
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:03,119
their into their basic mechanics. And
after a lesson, it's it's still he's

308
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,599
going to forget it next in two
weeks if he doesn't. Well, I

309
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,160
don't really teach swing so much as
I teach the relationship of the body to

310
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,640
the golf ball. If I can
get your body at address in the right

311
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,160
position, and if I can get
you to move your if your right hand

312
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:25,519
and get your right side past that
ball prior to impact or at impact,

313
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:30,359
I don't care what your hands do. If they're somewhat connected to the body,

314
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,119
they're going to they're going to react
on their own. You can't purposely

315
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:38,279
square the club with your hands,
and that's just crazy. I get these

316
00:22:38,279 --> 00:22:41,279
guys say you just has to be
flat of impact. That's that's because of

317
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,119
momentum. You can't put them there. The club's moving seventy eighty miles an

318
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,720
hour depending on how strong you are, there's no way to do that.

319
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,000
But if your body's in the right
position, that will happen. You know,

320
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:56,160
there's if you're rotating through that golf
ball, your and your and that

321
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,039
club has lasted and your hands are
going to be Your hands are going to

322
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:02,680
be flat an impact, they're not
going to be cupped. But once you

323
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,400
stop that body, then the momentum
of the arms going forward are going to

324
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,160
cut the wrist. That's why that
happens. It's just that people don't go

325
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:12,559
through the ball. When you're hit
any golf ball you have to you mind

326
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:15,880
has to be a position A position
B, and the ball is in the

327
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:22,039
way of you going to those positions. If you target the golf ball,

328
00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:25,640
you're never going to get the position
B. And consequently you're gonna cup your

329
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,880
wrist, You're going to swing up
prematurely, you're going to hang back.

330
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,119
All those things are going to happen
just because you didn't get through the ball.

331
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,799
I mean, I have I have
women that I teach and I say,

332
00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:36,200
look when you get at the top
of the swing. Oh, I

333
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,480
want you to do one thing,
get past the ball with a turning motion.

334
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,160
And they're always so shocked when they
see they hit so much farther and

335
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,799
hit the ball up in the air. But that's I mean, that's that's

336
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:51,279
the core thing here that has to
happen. No matter what you do with

337
00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:52,960
your hands at the top of your
swing, they can be cupped flat.

338
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,079
I don't I don't care about that. It doesn't mean anything. Then all

339
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,519
way to cup wrist at the top
TI you with this flat Who cares?

340
00:24:02,079 --> 00:24:04,240
What matters is at the bottom.
And the only way you're going to go

341
00:24:04,279 --> 00:24:08,440
through impact properly is that the big
muscles have to be pulling the little muscles.

342
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:12,079
Once the big muscles stopped and the
little muscles move forward, all hell

343
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:18,440
breaks loose unless you're lucky any time
it you know, and you hear more

344
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,799
and more players talking about I want
to eliminate the timing action of the golf

345
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:26,240
swing because it's just too much pressure
out there. You can't get it out

346
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,559
there and be timing the rolling of
your hands and things like that. And

347
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:30,720
that's been taught for years. I
mean, that's how I was taught to

348
00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:33,680
play. You can't do that now
now if you're going to play at that

349
00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:45,119
level. On our third and last
round of the weekend, in the back

350
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:48,359
nine, he was my friend was
so frustrated. He said, what am

351
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,680
I? What am I doing?
What can I do? I keep,

352
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:56,079
you know, rolling the ball,
and I'm like, are you asking me

353
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,279
for advice? Because I kept my
mouth shut all weekend and I'll be All

354
00:25:00,319 --> 00:25:06,319
I said was try moving the ball
back about an inch in your stands.

355
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,839
Just move the ball back a little
bit and see what happens. Because if

356
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:12,960
you're continuing to hit the ball,
that must mean that you're you're you're you're

357
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,039
on your upswing a little too early. Because I didn't want to say yeah,

358
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,119
because you're leaning on your back foot
because you're getting no rotation, because

359
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,160
in the middle of a round that's
not going to help. So I just

360
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,480
said, just move the ball back
and see what happens. And his next

361
00:25:27,519 --> 00:25:32,559
three shots were the best shots of
the weekend, and he kind of looked

362
00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:37,160
at me like, what where what
the essence? In essence you move he

363
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:41,440
moves his head more forward by moving
the ball back. You see what I

364
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,359
mean by moving the ball back in
the stands, the head position now is

365
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,640
more forward of the ball than it
was when the ball was forward. So,

366
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,480
in essence, you did kind of
that. Hmm. Interesting and I

367
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,640
didn't even know I did that.
Yeah, that's that's what That's what you

368
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:03,119
did. You see, because I've
read the Lost Fundamental. Well, look,

369
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:06,920
you know, absolutely not small,
because there's a lot of great teachers

370
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,759
out there. But I know that
this concept is based in science, and

371
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,799
I know that when the body is
in the right position, you can get

372
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:18,920
your best. Everybody has a best. Some of us are limited because we're

373
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,119
not athletics, some of us are
weak, whatever, but everybody can play

374
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,079
this game and everybody can enjoy it, and everybody can get the ball up

375
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:29,359
in the air. That has never
been, that has never been. I've

376
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,640
never had a lesson in the thousands
and thousands of lessons that I've gived,

377
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,880
I've never had anyone not be able
to get it in the air once they

378
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:41,279
understand what they're supposed to be right, And what about is the hip rotation?

379
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,559
You know, as we get older, we get into our late fifties,

380
00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:51,319
our sixties, and god bless you
in your seventies, the hip rotation

381
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,200
some people just don't have that kind
of flexibility. I don't know what kind

382
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:57,559
of workout regimen that you have or
if I have no flexibility. No,

383
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,839
I don't do any that. I
don't have any flexibility. But when my

384
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:08,559
weight is on my left access and
I turn my chest left, my hips

385
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:15,839
turn left. Everything works when the
center of my chest is to the right

386
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,400
of my legs, like I was
taught, take it back to put the

387
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,880
stern them on top of the right
leg. Okay, so there's a leaning

388
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,640
of the upper body back behind the
lower body. Then the legs have to

389
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:32,000
go forward because the legs, the
left hip has to align itself to the

390
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:34,200
outside of the left footed impact.
So there's that little sliding move that you

391
00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:38,839
had to make. But with this
concept, what you're doing as you're coiling,

392
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,039
as you're turning in your backs,
when you're actually putting, you're actually

393
00:27:42,079 --> 00:27:48,720
getting to that position where you align
that hip leg thing. Okay, so

394
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:52,359
now you have a forward access.
Now all you do is turn the top

395
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,559
around the axis. The lower body
works right with it. When you throw

396
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:57,799
a ball, did you ever think
about shifting your legs or moving anything.

397
00:27:59,319 --> 00:28:03,519
I mean, your body, your
top part is connect to the lower part.

398
00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:06,279
But if you if you tilt your
top part over to the right,

399
00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:10,160
of course the lower part has to
go forward to bring the top part back.

400
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,079
But when you're more centered to the
ball, you're I hate to use

401
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,279
this word stacked, but you're stacked
on top of each other. So if

402
00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:19,440
you turn the top the lower part
turns too, as long as there isn't

403
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:25,640
weight on the right foot. And
again for the listeners, just stand up,

404
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,000
put primarily most of your weight on
your right foot, and just take

405
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,559
your left shoulder and turn it as
left as you can. You'll see that

406
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:36,799
you're hips and belly turnal lied,
so you don't have to worry about hip

407
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,480
rotation. See, and that's that's
one of the beautiful things about this is

408
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,519
that you can control. And in
my video I show you that. I

409
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:47,200
show you that when you're at the
top of that position, all you have

410
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,519
is just clear your chest. Everything
else will turn with it, so you

411
00:28:49,519 --> 00:28:52,680
don't have to get your legs out
ahead of the you know, like legs

412
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,039
first then top. No, you
don't have to do that. So we're

413
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:06,079
eliminating all these little timing things that
we had to do. Hmm. I

414
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:10,480
have so many more questions but we
don't have time today because I want to

415
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,359
talk to you. I want to
talk to you about I'm gonna say.

416
00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:17,359
I'm sure there's some golf throes out
there that are saying that guy's nuts.

417
00:29:17,359 --> 00:29:19,359
But all I asked you to do
is try it. Ok, Well,

418
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:23,759
you're not us. You know.
I came out there last year with a

419
00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:27,240
friend of mine and you spent an
hour with him. And the video is

420
00:29:27,559 --> 00:29:32,519
up on YouTube. It's on the
golf Smarter TV channel of your you know,

421
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,319
the highlights of the lesson that you
gave my friend Neil. And I'm

422
00:29:36,319 --> 00:29:40,440
telling you, ever since that lesson, he has been a maniac on the

423
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,240
golf course. He says that he
continues to do what you taught him in

424
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:48,759
less than an hour, and his
game has just gotten so much better.

425
00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:52,920
He's so much more confident. So, yeah, you may be out of

426
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,920
your mind, but it works.
Well. Yeah, everyone says that anyway.

427
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,519
But I think that I think that
this is just an easier way to

428
00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,319
play. It's not the only way
to play. You can be a handful.

429
00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:07,680
You can fan that club open and
close it on the doll swing.

430
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:11,119
If you choose, you you just
weigh all your way to the right and

431
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:12,680
try to get it all going back
to the left. You can do that

432
00:30:12,759 --> 00:30:18,440
too, It's been done. I
only say that. I say this confidently.

433
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,839
This is an easier way to do
it well. Next time we get

434
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:26,400
together, I want to talk about
your tempo and the swing rhythm, and

435
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,359
I want to talk about ballflight.
We've never really talked about ballfight. I'd

436
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:36,400
like to get your theories and ideas
on that. But also my friends and

437
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,920
I, you know, we travel
every year, and you and I talked

438
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,319
about this before. But I'm going
to throw this out here right now.

439
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:48,440
So we're talking about coming down to
the Palm Springs area next April twenty thirteen

440
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,920
and on. I want you to
put on your calendar right now the morning

441
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:59,759
of April sixth, Saturday morning.
I'm hoping that you're available, that you

442
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:03,559
can meet with me and my three
buddies, and I'm gonna throw this out

443
00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:07,039
here to the Golf Smarter audience.
If you want to be Tony. Do

444
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:12,440
you do clinics? Yeah? Sure, okay, So Monday, Saturday morning,

445
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:18,319
April sixth, twenty thirteen, if
you have any interest in joining Tony

446
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:26,079
Manzoni and myself on a one maybe
two hour clinic, a Golf Smarter clinic,

447
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,000
one on one with Tony. You
start sending me emails, you let

448
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
me know if your calendar. I'm
giving you a year to think about this,

449
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,599
right, I'm not going to keep
mentioning it. I'm just gonna throw

450
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:40,640
it out here this one time,
and maybe Tony will will get something together

451
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,279
and bring a group of people instead
of just my foursome. That would be

452
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:45,720
great fun, I really would do. It would be great fun. Yeah,

453
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,359
that would be a lot of fun. Because I know that some people,

454
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,039
some Golf Smarter listeners, have traveled
across the United States to come and

455
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:56,960
have one on one sessions with you. Yes they have. I've had a

456
00:31:57,079 --> 00:32:01,880
ton of them, and as far
away as New York. Uh. And

457
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:07,240
there's a one fellow in France that
said just coming down on waiting and he's

458
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,599
a Golf Smarter listener. He's the
Golf Smarter listener. Wow in France.

459
00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:15,599
How cool is that? France that
I love? Well, you know,

460
00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:19,119
when I first did the first interview
with you, I thought this was a

461
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,480
sum Intel kind of a deal,
and I had no idea that you were

462
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,720
worldwide. And I started getting emails
from people from Switzerland and I heard of

463
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:30,359
the golf smarterer blah blah blah.
I thought, what in the heck?

464
00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:34,960
Well, yeah, you know you
were thinking radio when the first time we

465
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,279
talked, and I think it was
about the shot watch, right, it

466
00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:39,319
was shot watch. Yeah, it
was about shot watch. That's exactly right.

467
00:32:39,359 --> 00:32:45,160
So I had no idea. You
know how important you're You're what you're

468
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,440
doing is I mean, it's fantastic. Really, I don't know that important.

469
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:52,920
I'm just saying that it's important.
No, we have a we have

470
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,839
a far reach because we're on the
internet. You know, it's it's a

471
00:32:54,880 --> 00:33:00,200
global idea. I don't know if
it's important, but what you're saying is

472
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,880
important. I'm just giving you the
soapbox. Well, I mean fellows like

473
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,799
me that have something to say about
the golf swing. You know, whether

474
00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:12,039
you whether you agree or not.
At least it's an opinion, that's all

475
00:33:12,079 --> 00:33:15,759
there. And it kiss people thinking. And how would I do that if

476
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:20,960
it wasn't for your company. You
know, I'm surely not a household name

477
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,119
in golf. I mean, you
should be family. But we don't want

478
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:31,039
to hear what they say about you
at home, all right, So let's
