00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Hi. This is Francine Valley from West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,

2
00:00:08.359 --> 00:00:11.679
<v Speaker 1>and I play a Squamish Valley golf course. This is

3
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Golf Smarter number nine hundred and seventy three.

4
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:16.640
<v Speaker 2>There was a story of Sam Steed and it's a

5
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:19.120
<v Speaker 2>week before he's playing in his first PGA Tour event.

6
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 2>And it's in nineteen thirty six. He's at the Greenbrier

7
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 2>and the head pro organized a big match's going to

8
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 2>be this rookie Samsteed, that's the big up and coming name.

9
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.399
<v Speaker 2>He's going to play against the former US Open champion.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 2>He's going to play against two other US Amateur champions.

11
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 2>As a result, work gets out massive crowd around the

12
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>first tee and Sam Steed is last hood. He is

13
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 2>shaking so bad and is so nervous that he's basically

14
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 2>on the verge of a panic attack. He was shaking

15
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.759
<v Speaker 2>so bad that he couldn't steady the ball in the

16
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>tea with one hand. He had to use his other hand.

17
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>That's setting the stage for how nervous he was, so

18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.880
<v Speaker 2>he backs up. He's doing his visualization and what most

19
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>people are not aware until after a fact, but what

20
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Sam actually does is he closes his eyes and he

21
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 2>relives his most amazing drives on that same hole. He

22
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>collects himself, moves forward, and then he hits the shot.

23
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Then a crowd they're like, whoa. The reason why everybody

24
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>was like gasman is because he just outdrove his playing

25
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.719
<v Speaker 2>partners by fifteen yards, and only that he has hit

26
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.400
<v Speaker 2>about ten yards further than all of his most successful

27
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>drives on that same hole. How does a guy go

28
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>from a verge of a panic attack to then hitting

29
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>his best drive ever just moments later?

<v Speaker 3>Here's your host, Fred Green. Welcome back to the Golf Smarter.

00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Podcast, Bo, Fred, it's a pleasure to be back. Thanks.

37
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, it's been a while since we've had a

38
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.280
<v Speaker 3>chance to catch up, and you've been doing some really

39
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 3>remarkable stuff as far as the golf training side of

40
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 3>it and creating these summits. And we'll talk about your

41
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 3>upcoming summit later, but let's talk about what's going on

42
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 3>in the media space. You know, we briefly touched as

43
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 3>before we started recording, and I didn't want to go

44
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.159
<v Speaker 3>too deep into because I really want to hear your

45
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 3>thoughts on it. But there seems to be this movement

46
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 3>from the tourist side to look towards things like YouTube

47
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 3>and media influencers who are being invited to play and compete. Now,

48
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 3>what is going on?

49
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's pretty fascinating. I mean, we're watching I think

50
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 2>it just speaks volumes to the platform that YouTube has

51
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.479
<v Speaker 2>been able to provide the golf space. I mean, you

52
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>can look for it for some really good information, but

53
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if I'm gonna be honest, there's a lot

54
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>of bad information out there. But on the side of that,

55
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>that's the thing.

56
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.840
<v Speaker 3>That we talk about all the times, like just be

57
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 3>careful about YouTube because there's so much conflicting information that

58
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 3>you can just your mind will.

59
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Explode one hundred percent. And you know, for the I

60
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.439
<v Speaker 2>would say for the greater part of like say the

61
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 2>last fourteen fifteen years, I mean it's been primarily used

62
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>in the golf space as a place to go and

63
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>get instruction information, right, but over the last like I

64
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>would say three to five years. You know, you've had

65
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 2>some influencers come out and kind of overtake Rick Shill

66
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 2>so to speak, as far as like, you know, the

67
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 2>most subscribers on YouTube. And when you look at the

68
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Good Good, you look at Grant Horvat's and you look

69
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>at those types, even Brian Brothers and those guys, and

70
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 2>it's it's fascinating because now it's kind of like shifted

71
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 2>into a direction where it's all about entertainment, and you

72
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>got all these guys and YouTube stars that are playing

73
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>against each other in these matches and they're bringing a

74
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 2>lot of eyeballs to it. And so as a result

75
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>of that, you know, PGA Tours taken notice and earlier

76
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>this year, interestingly enough, they actually believe it was several

77
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.160
<v Speaker 2>spots they offered, as you know, exemptions or sponsor invites

78
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.199
<v Speaker 2>into the Myrtle Beach. That was the first year that

79
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Myrtle Beach has had like a PGA Tour event, and

80
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.439
<v Speaker 2>so several of these guys actually were able to go

81
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 2>play in a PGA Tour event. So it's pretty interesting.

82
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Then you get to say the creators Cup, it's the

83
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.319
<v Speaker 2>first time they ever did this. But the week of

84
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the Tour Championship. They had what was called the very

85
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 2>first I believe Creators Cup. I think it was played

86
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 2>on Monday or Tuesday. And what was so interesting about

87
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 2>it is that you know, you had you know, Luke Kwan,

88
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 2>you had I believe it was Wesley Bryan. I don't

89
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>know if George played in it, but you had a

90
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.480
<v Speaker 2>few of the good good guys, Page Spirnaka I think

91
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>is how you said you last name, Amy Chow and

92
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 2>or a few others like that. And so it was

93
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 2>all these like big top influencers that are invited to

94
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:12.160
<v Speaker 2>play into US event and Lukewan ends up winning it

95
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>in a playoff, and if I'm not mistaken, because he

96
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>won that, he got an exemption or an invite into

97
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>next year's Masters and the Open Championship.

98
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

99
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, wow, tell me about it.

100
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 3>That's really remarkable. And so there, I guess it looks

101
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 3>like PGA is recognizing what's going on, you know. And

102
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 3>it's interesting because a lot of the names that you

103
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 3>mentioned I'm not familiar with that. I'm obsessed with YouTube,

104
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, I really enjoy no matter what I think

105
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.439
<v Speaker 3>of live, but I really enjoy watching Bryson and his

106
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 3>break fifty. I think it's just such a great idea.

107
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 3>And I've asked a friend of mine, I said, look,

108
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 3>instead of competing against each other, why don't you and

109
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 3>I just go out together, combine our efforts and see

110
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 3>if we can shoot par And he's like, yeah, I'd

111
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 3>be willing to.

112
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Try that, so just make sure you film it.

113
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 3>No, no, you know that's the thing is. And I've

114
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 3>always it's like, oh, I'll just bring the camera out

115
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 3>and we'll just video. It's like no, no, no. These

116
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 3>guys are going out there with a crew. They've got

117
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 3>multiple microphones, they got at least to probably three cameras

118
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 3>going at any given time. Dragging around these guys, and

119
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 3>it's like, I just that's a lot of pressure. You

120
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 3>forget about gambling, just doing it in front of a

121
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 3>camera a lot more pressure.

122
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, I mean, but hey, what better way to

123
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>similar pressure? And uh, you know, work on your tournament golf? Right?

124
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well that's what you're doing, right, You're you're you're

125
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:01.759
<v Speaker 3>talking about tournament golf and playing to win as opposed

126
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.519
<v Speaker 3>to just playing. You've been focusing on how how golfers

127
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 3>can just like no, no, no, I'm a very competitive person

128
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.639
<v Speaker 3>I want to win? How do I do that?

129
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Right? Yeah, that's a that's a key subject, right because

130
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 2>everybody talks about I remember doctor Rick Jensen talking about

131
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>this one time and I'll never forget it. He talks

132
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 2>to like there's like four phases of you know, playing

133
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 2>golf so to speak, and training. First phase is kind

134
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 2>of like you're leaves like block practice, like where you're

135
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>working on your swing and stuff like that. And then

136
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 2>there's like a second phase that you know, you're you're

137
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 2>starting to kind of transition and do like game like

138
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 2>scenarios and I could be missing the vote on this,

139
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 2>but you know, the principle is still the same. And

140
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 2>then the third phase is like you're going out on

141
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.439
<v Speaker 2>the course, which is what he called like transfer training,

142
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 2>like how are we able to take the skills that

143
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>we're learning in a practice environment and able to take

144
00:07:56.199 --> 00:08:00.199
<v Speaker 2>it to the course. And then the last phase is, right,

145
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>how do we do it in a tournament setting? How

146
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:06.079
<v Speaker 2>are we doing under pressure? And that's a totally different animal,

147
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And honestly, that's what you know, Shannon, my business partner

148
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.439
<v Speaker 2>and I we specialize in, which is more of the

149
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>mental side, and that's where we show golfers. We call

150
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.639
<v Speaker 2>it psychond mask of training. It's it's it's teaching people

151
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 2>how to get into the zone at a flip of

152
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.800
<v Speaker 2>a switch. You know. The more appropriate scientific term, obviously,

153
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Speaker 2>he's flow state. And we we like to coin or

154
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 2>talk about. We coined the term, you know, caveman golf.

155
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you when you play your best golf,

156
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 2>it's it's when you see target, seaball hit ball. And

157
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.279
<v Speaker 2>it was funny. Scott Fawls and I were having a

158
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 2>conversation just last week and he's he was sharing, you know,

159
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of how he's been playing, and you know,

160
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>he invited Garret Clark in his only YouTube channel and

161
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>just talking to him about that. But you know, these

162
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>last few weeks, like Scott has been playing like lights

163
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:59.360
<v Speaker 2>out and it's been funny because what he shared on

164
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.039
<v Speaker 2>the phone was like, this is the first time and

165
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how many years where I do not

166
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 2>have a a single swing key or swing fault. And

167
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.519
<v Speaker 2>I was like, well, Scott, you know what that is, right,

168
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and he's like, I don't know. It's like, you know,

169
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 2>I said, that's caveman golf. You know, it's just sea target, seatball,

170
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>hit ball, and we know that when a golfer can

171
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:21.320
<v Speaker 2>get to that place, all is a special place to

172
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.679
<v Speaker 2>be in because honestly, that's where your best golf is

173
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 2>going to be. And that's in any sport. I mean

174
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>you go ask you know, like the late Kobe Bryant

175
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>or anybody, or even Lebron. You know, when they're playing

176
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>their best, they're not sitting there talking about how their

177
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker 2>elbow flexion is and where the pressure is on the basketball. No,

178
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>it's like I see the arc of the shot and

179
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I see it going in and it's more right brain oriented,

180
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>where a lot of golfers to get in trouble so

181
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.600
<v Speaker 2>fast when they stay in the left side of the brain.

182
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 2>And honestly, the only sport I think that people can

183
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 2>actually dominate from the left side of the brain is

184
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.639
<v Speaker 2>playing chess. But you don't want to take to any sport,

185
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>and especially not golf, because when you start getting into

186
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.279
<v Speaker 2>the overthinking and too many swing thoughts, good luck.

187
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I totally understand it. I've had it a couple

188
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 3>of times. There's times where I'm like, I'm so comfortable

189
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 3>out there, I'm not thinking about it. I'm just you know,

190
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 3>see target, aim, hit it and don't think about what

191
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to do with it. But I don't know

192
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 3>what's going on. But the last couple of weeks it's like,

193
00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 3>what am I doing out here? I really feel lost.

194
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:36.200
<v Speaker 3>And in the last round I played, it was like,

195
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 3>this is not going well. There's periods of time where

196
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.080
<v Speaker 3>I can play three four rounds with a ball, and

197
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.960
<v Speaker 3>then there's last week where I lost five balls in

198
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.200
<v Speaker 3>one round. I'm like, who are you playing? Who is this?

199
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.240
<v Speaker 2>What's going on?

200
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm overthinking it? Huh.

201
00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Very likely you need a reset, you know, And well,

202
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 2>how do you do that? Oh, that's a good question

203
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of people they try to do the

204
00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:11.480
<v Speaker 2>textbook version, right, you know, they read all that I'm

205
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 2>not going to call it the books, but you know

206
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.399
<v Speaker 2>they know what is said in a lot of mental

207
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 2>game books. But there really isn't anything out there that's

208
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 2>very practical. And I think that's one of the things

209
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 2>that really a lot of people in I mean, and

210
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 2>you can go on our Amazon and honestly, like we're

211
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.399
<v Speaker 2>not taking credit, Like God gave us the download for

212
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>the book that we wrote, so I'm giving him the

213
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>glory on that. But you know, it's fascinating. One of

214
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the biggest things that we hear all the time from

215
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Amazon reviews and people that read our book is that

216
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>it's so practical and so like. One of the things

217
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.759
<v Speaker 2>that we share about resetting is what's called the ball reset,

218
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 2>and we go in detail in our chapter, but I'll

219
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 2>briefly cover it here because like when someone's in what

220
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>we call a red light state, when things are going south,

221
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:02.679
<v Speaker 2>like we said, you've lost several balls or something like that,

222
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.879
<v Speaker 2>you have to do something in order for you to

223
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:07.720
<v Speaker 2>get back to what we call a green light state.

224
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

225
00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Neuroscience. Doctor Is Justice kind of pioneered this part of it,

226
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, analyzing and doing brain scans of you know,

227
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 2>thousands of golfers and he's done a lot of amazing

228
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.879
<v Speaker 2>work in this area, and he has shown that, you know,

229
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 2>when we have so many swing thoughts or so many

230
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 2>thoughts or just negative thoughts. For example, let's say like

231
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 2>you hit two shots, ob, you're in a red light

232
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 2>state at this point, and especially if you've done it

233
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>off the tee two times in a row. You know

234
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>how many times we've heard people or they snap hook

235
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 2>one left OB and then they're like, all right, I'm

236
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 2>not doing that again. I'm going to try to overcorrect,

237
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 2>and they overcorrect and then they slice it into the

238
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 2>water on the right hand side. And at that point

239
00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you're in fight or flight mode at this point. And

240
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the main thing is if you don't do something here,

241
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.159
<v Speaker 2>it's going to come off the tracks very very fast.

242
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 2>And this is where the ball reset enters the picture.

243
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>And so part of the ball reset is we do

244
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.440
<v Speaker 2>it is called a hard reset.

245
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:05.679
<v Speaker 4>Now.

246
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Piece of this we got from Doctor is Justice, but

247
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the other part of this is from Brian Kine, which

248
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 2>is one of our mentors. And what we did is

249
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.159
<v Speaker 2>we were able to piece this all together. And what's

250
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>so fascinating about it is when you do the hard squeeze.

251
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:23.559
<v Speaker 2>This is where like you take a club, or you

252
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 2>take your hands, you take a towe, it doesn't matter.

253
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:27.960
<v Speaker 2>But there's a type of breath that we like to

254
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.960
<v Speaker 2>utilize which is called a physiological side, which, by the way,

255
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.960
<v Speaker 2>if you just do that breath alone. Stanford came out

256
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>last year and Pioneer or they came out and shared

257
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 2>this research and believe it was January last year. You

258
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 2>go look us up, and the original study of it

259
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 2>was how to lower anxiety, and so they found that

260
00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:51.039
<v Speaker 2>this type of breath, Like you could think of all

261
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:53.039
<v Speaker 2>the breathing techniques that people have talked about over the

262
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.679
<v Speaker 2>last like ten twenty years, Well, the physiological side is

263
00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:59.720
<v Speaker 2>on a totally different level, and it just completely outdid

264
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.559
<v Speaker 2>every single one of them. You know, the military box breathing,

265
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:05.759
<v Speaker 2>all those, right, and physiological SIAO is just in a

266
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>totally different category. So like Scottie Scheffer for when he's

267
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>playing the best, he's like in a totally league of

268
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.919
<v Speaker 2>his own like tire was in his prime. That's the

269
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 2>physiological side when it comes to breathing. Okay, so when

270
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.399
<v Speaker 2>you do a physological SIA, it's like where you're doing

271
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:21.279
<v Speaker 2>two quick inhales, like or you're breathing through the nose

272
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 2>and you're taking like a deep belly breath first, you know,

273
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 2>in hell, and then it's a very second quick in

274
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 2>hell pausing, and then you're doing a long exhale out

275
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:36.519
<v Speaker 2>your mouth for like five or six seconds. Now, when

276
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>you do the hard reset, you're basically doing the same

277
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 2>thing where you're going and then you're holding your breath

278
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.519
<v Speaker 2>and then you're squeezing as hard as you can, so

279
00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.720
<v Speaker 2>like on a pressure of like one to ten. You're

280
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.840
<v Speaker 2>squeezing that at eleven for five seconds, and then you're

281
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 2>exhaling slowly while decreasing decreasing the pressure. Let's say on

282
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.440
<v Speaker 2>the golf club in my grip, and I'm decreasing pressure

283
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.919
<v Speaker 2>from like a ten down to like a two while

284
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:06.559
<v Speaker 2>slowly exhaling. Now, doctor is a justice a part of that.

285
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.440
<v Speaker 2>He found that when you did just the deep belly breath,

286
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 2>squeeze as hard as you can, ex hel slowly. They

287
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.080
<v Speaker 2>found that in an actual real time brain scan on

288
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>a golfer, they found that he went from a red

289
00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:20.919
<v Speaker 2>light state and it went back down to a green

290
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:23.440
<v Speaker 2>light state. And what was interesting is in the brain

291
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>it had the equivalent effect of if you had done

292
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty minutes of meditation or twenty minutes yoga. Talking about

293
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.679
<v Speaker 2>a massive nerr a hack. Right. So just that piece

294
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.879
<v Speaker 2>right is part of the B which is breathe. We

295
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>call it breathe hard reset. So that's B is in

296
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.440
<v Speaker 2>the ball acronym. The next part is as where you

297
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 2>do an a firm, you do a power talk statement,

298
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.399
<v Speaker 2>you know say you hit you know your drive ob

299
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Well you just say hey, you know what? Adversity is

300
00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.200
<v Speaker 2>my advantage. So you say that really quick under your breath.

301
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.879
<v Speaker 2>The first L is look back. All that simply means

302
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:02.919
<v Speaker 2>is we're going to look back to a time where

303
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>we hit an amazing drive on a similar hole or

304
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:07.639
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's the same hole, and you're going to relive

305
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:12.799
<v Speaker 2>that memory. And so you relive that memory basically like daydreaming.

306
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:15.559
<v Speaker 2>So you play that shot over in your head, and

307
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 2>then once you've done that, then you go to the LASTEL,

308
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:23.320
<v Speaker 2>which is look forward. So just in about under twenty seconds,

309
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>we just go through the entire ball acronym, which is

310
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 2>a hard reset power talk statement. Relive an amazing memory.

311
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Now your attention back to the present moment. And here's

312
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.320
<v Speaker 2>the cool part. Let me give it a little bit

313
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.159
<v Speaker 2>of a story here on that first L.

314
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 3>And before you do that, we're going to take a

315
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:50.720
<v Speaker 3>time out and I'll hear the story after this. Okay,

316
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.559
<v Speaker 3>I cut you off, and I apologize for that, but

317
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:58.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't so because I needed to absorb what's going

318
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.960
<v Speaker 3>on here, because I'm going through the breathing part and

319
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.400
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that I'm creating tension by tightening up

320
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.079
<v Speaker 3>with this, you know, squeezing it, but then letting it go.

321
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.279
<v Speaker 3>I think back to doctor Joe Parent telling us about

322
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:16.200
<v Speaker 3>the etches sketch, you know that you use when you're

323
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:18.319
<v Speaker 3>having a tough time. Just take your edges sketch, flip

324
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.480
<v Speaker 3>it over, shake it out, and erase the whole thing

325
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.839
<v Speaker 3>and then start again. But we're at the ball acronym

326
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.759
<v Speaker 3>breathe a firm, look back, look forward.

327
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:28.799
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

328
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:30.480
<v Speaker 3>And you had a story to tell.

329
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So what's fascinating is we came across this. I

330
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.759
<v Speaker 2>forgot where I found it, but there was a story

331
00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:40.279
<v Speaker 2>of Sam Snead and it's a week before he's playing

332
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.119
<v Speaker 2>in his first PGA Tour event, Like he's going to

333
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.720
<v Speaker 2>make his PGA Tour debut, right, And it's in nineteen

334
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty six, I believe is the year, and he's at

335
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the Greenbrier and the head pro or whoever it was,

336
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.880
<v Speaker 2>they organize like a big match and so in this match,

337
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be this rookie Sam Sneed that's the

338
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:00.440
<v Speaker 2>big up and coming name. He's going to play against

339
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 2>a former US Open champion. He's going to play against

340
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 2>two other US Amateur champions well. As a result, Work

341
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 2>gets out massive crowd around the first tee and Now

342
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Sam Sneed is last to hit. He is shaking so

343
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.319
<v Speaker 2>bad and is so nervous that he's basically on the

344
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.640
<v Speaker 2>verge of a panic attack. And to put this in perspective,

345
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 2>they said that he was shaking so bad that he

346
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:28.880
<v Speaker 2>couldn't steady the ball in the tee with one hand.

347
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:32.799
<v Speaker 2>He had to use his other hand, all right, So

348
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 2>that's setting the stage for how nervous he was. So

349
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>he backs up, he gets find the ball. You know,

350
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:43.559
<v Speaker 2>he's doing his visualization. And what most people are not

351
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.559
<v Speaker 2>aware of until after the fact, but what Sam actually

352
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>does is he closes his eyes and he relives his

353
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:54.960
<v Speaker 2>most amazing drives on that same hole. Now he collects

354
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.319
<v Speaker 2>himself and moves forward, and then he hits a shot

355
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 2>and a crowd like is gasped. You're like, whoa. And

356
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.480
<v Speaker 2>the reason why everybody was like gasping is because he

357
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 2>just outdrove his playing partners by about fifteen yards. And

358
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:11.400
<v Speaker 2>not only that, he has hit about ten yards further

359
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>than all of his most successful drives on that same hole. Now,

360
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:17.720
<v Speaker 2>wait a second, how does a guy go from a

361
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:20.279
<v Speaker 2>verge of a panic attack to then hitting his best

362
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 2>drive ever just moments later? And a big piece of

363
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.160
<v Speaker 2>that is the first L and the ball acronym is

364
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 2>what we call the look back. And the reason why

365
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 2>it's so powerful and it's so important for people to

366
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.640
<v Speaker 2>utilize is because when you have a bad memory, or

367
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:35.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe you have an upcoming shot that's you know you're

368
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.279
<v Speaker 2>dreading or you're very nervous about. You know, we hear

369
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 2>all the time people have first T jitters. This is

370
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.440
<v Speaker 2>an amazing, amazing tool to utilize before you go hit

371
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 2>that first T shot because here's the thing. You could

372
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.839
<v Speaker 2>be dreading it. You could be thinking about all the

373
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:53.000
<v Speaker 2>negative energy and what if scenarios. But if you go

374
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:55.319
<v Speaker 2>through that entire ball acronym where you do the hard

375
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 2>squeeze and you say something like, hey, the more pressure

376
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:01.680
<v Speaker 2>there is, the better I perform, And then you do

377
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.680
<v Speaker 2>a look back where you maybe go back in time

378
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.519
<v Speaker 2>where there was a lot of pressure in a certain

379
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.559
<v Speaker 2>certain shot and you hit your best drive ever and

380
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:13.880
<v Speaker 2>you go back and you relive that memory. Well, I

381
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:16.000
<v Speaker 2>got to ask you, if you've done those three steps

382
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.680
<v Speaker 2>and you did it with the right intensity and you

383
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>were obviously walking in faith with those first three steps,

384
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 2>then that last hole when it comes to looking forward,

385
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:27.599
<v Speaker 2>you would have to be at that point pretty excited

386
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.839
<v Speaker 2>to play that upcoming shot. You would have to be.

387
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:32.839
<v Speaker 2>You'd be much better. I mean, let's say you're like

388
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.799
<v Speaker 2>five percent. Like if we're gonna put a scale on this,

389
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.240
<v Speaker 2>let's say you're like at a five percent of being

390
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.599
<v Speaker 2>successful too. Now you do the ball acronym. I mean,

391
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.759
<v Speaker 2>you just increase your chances of hitting a pretty good

392
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.480
<v Speaker 2>shot to probably like eighty ninety percent at this point.

393
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:50.160
<v Speaker 2>So that's how we practically do a hard reset. So

394
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:51.880
<v Speaker 2>when you're in the middle of a round, you're playing

395
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 2>terrible or you got something that you're dreading, ball reset

396
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:56.880
<v Speaker 2>is going to be your secret weapon.

397
00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:01.279
<v Speaker 3>Awesome. Also, there's the acceptance. And we talked to Joel

398
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Suggs a couple episodes back, and he talked about his

399
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:11.799
<v Speaker 3>PGA Bell Curve un scoring, which is you're gonna have

400
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:18.039
<v Speaker 3>rounds that go poor good average, right, and the bell curve,

401
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.240
<v Speaker 3>the top of the Bell curve is your average. So

402
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:26.079
<v Speaker 3>accept that. Don't beat yourself up, right, lighten up, let

403
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 3>it go move forward, and stop thinking about your swing

404
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 3>mechanics because it's only gonna hurt, right, Yeah, it's really

405
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:38.559
<v Speaker 3>going the swing. The thinking about swing mechanics.

406
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, swing mechanics. If you think too much about that.

407
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, don't get me wrong, Like I come from

408
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:48.839
<v Speaker 2>a swing background and you know, blessed to learn under

409
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:53.240
<v Speaker 2>some amazing minds in the game, and it is a

410
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.440
<v Speaker 2>piece of the game that you can't ignore. However, if

411
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:00.240
<v Speaker 2>you don't shut that off when you're playing, it's going

412
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to be really, really difficult to play your best. You know,

413
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you have to eventually either with just like one swing

414
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:09.200
<v Speaker 2>thought or one swing key, which is healthy. But when

415
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.839
<v Speaker 2>you start going and thinking too much about that and

416
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.039
<v Speaker 2>start adding in more, it's going to be very, very

417
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 2>tough to perform. And that's that's just the nature of

418
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the game. You know, it's a sport that demands precision.

419
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 2>But when we start getting in our own way with

420
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:31.359
<v Speaker 2>too many thoughts, too many things that we're thinking about

421
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and splitting our focus, good luck, it's just going to

422
00:22:35.720 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 2>be a really really difficult round for you. I hate

423
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:39.759
<v Speaker 2>to say that.

424
00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:46.799
<v Speaker 3>And you work with a lot of amazing instructors, but

425
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:51.000
<v Speaker 3>you're partnering with them. It's not necessarily that you're getting

426
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:58.000
<v Speaker 3>instruction from them. You're trying to collaborate with them, right, Yeah,

427
00:22:58.039 --> 00:22:59.920
<v Speaker 3>And that's what you're doing with your summits that you do.

428
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:02.319
<v Speaker 3>Seems like you've been doing them manually now for a

429
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:03.079
<v Speaker 3>couple of years.

430
00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, this will be our upcoming one. This will

431
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 2>be our fourth one. Yeah yeah, four or five.

432
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:11.480
<v Speaker 3>I think we've I think we've covered each of them

433
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:17.759
<v Speaker 3>with you. Yeah, I'm not mistaken. And so let's talk

434
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.000
<v Speaker 3>about some of the people that you work with at

435
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.039
<v Speaker 3>these well, your upcoming one, your upcoming summit.

436
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So, you know, I think it's fair to say,

437
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.160
<v Speaker 2>like the very first tim that we had was consistent

438
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 2>golf summit, and the whole idea behind that was, you know, sadly,

439
00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:37.559
<v Speaker 2>we talked about it a little bit. You know, unfortunately,

440
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.319
<v Speaker 2>mini golfers they go on YouTube, they're searching for information

441
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:43.000
<v Speaker 2>and it's not that it's bad. You know, they got

442
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:45.039
<v Speaker 2>something wrong in their swing, or maybe they don't have

443
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.359
<v Speaker 2>access to a coach. And unfortunately, I hear that a

444
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 2>lot from golfers in our community. You know, they're in

445
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 2>a place where maybe they do have some swing instructors,

446
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 2>but they're not very good unfortunately. And you know that's

447
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:01.160
<v Speaker 2>the other reason why we have the summit is we

448
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.839
<v Speaker 2>want to not only educate golfers but you also want

449
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 2>to educate instructors and help them get better. And so

450
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>the idea behind the very first summit and the reason

451
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:12.160
<v Speaker 2>why there was such a big need for it is,

452
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you had God forbid something seriously wrong

453
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.279
<v Speaker 2>health wise. You know, you have a special disease, or

454
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:24.839
<v Speaker 2>you have something that you know, like cancer or tumor

455
00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.519
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, my question to you it would be, are

456
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you going to go see a general practitioner or are

457
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you going to go see the best specialists in the

458
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.839
<v Speaker 2>world on that particular topic. I mean, it's a no brainer, right,

459
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.079
<v Speaker 2>you want to go to the very best. And so

460
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.079
<v Speaker 2>that was the idea behind the very first summit, and

461
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:44.400
<v Speaker 2>it's the idea behind every summit we've ever hosted, and

462
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:46.079
<v Speaker 2>especially the one that we're about to do, which is

463
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 2>the Road to Tours Summit. You know, if you're going

464
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to go out there and search information, yeah, you can

465
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:52.799
<v Speaker 2>go on YouTube and you can go search for free,

466
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.319
<v Speaker 2>but then that is probably going to cost you more

467
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:58.920
<v Speaker 2>than the free information you just got. And see, that's

468
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:01.920
<v Speaker 2>the part of the quation most people aren't taken into account,

469
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 2>is that you can honestly go out there and search

470
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.039
<v Speaker 2>your way out of this game, and sadly that's what

471
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 2>mini golfers do. And I know that from research by

472
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 2>the Proponent group. Lauren Anderson runs that group down in Florida,

473
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 2>and it's kind of like a you know, who's who

474
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:26.039
<v Speaker 2>an instruction and the research that Lauren has you know,

475
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 2>published and you know, have found over the years. I'll

476
00:25:28.799 --> 00:25:32.240
<v Speaker 2>never forget the one study that he found where yes,

477
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:35.799
<v Speaker 2>we see, you know, over a million golfers typically you

478
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:38.799
<v Speaker 2>know National Golf Foundation. You know, it's no secret, and

479
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:41.039
<v Speaker 2>we talk about this in the book too, but they

480
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:44.279
<v Speaker 2>they said, you know, someone like a million to two

481
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 2>million golfers quit the game every year. Now, besides injury retirement,

482
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, getting old being kind of like the number one,

483
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:56.400
<v Speaker 2>but the next closest, the biggest reason why golfers are

484
00:25:56.440 --> 00:25:58.640
<v Speaker 2>quitting the game is because of frustration.

485
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:02.680
<v Speaker 3>The word I was going to toss out frustration yep.

486
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.720
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of that, unfortunately, is self inflicted. And

487
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.440
<v Speaker 2>it's because of people going on YouTube searching for something

488
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that they look at the symptom right, which is, hey,

489
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I got a slice. Okay, I'm gonna go search YouTube

490
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:23.599
<v Speaker 2>for how to fix a slice. But here's the downside

491
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:28.759
<v Speaker 2>in this game. You have so many different body types,

492
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:33.279
<v Speaker 2>you have so many different types of setups, you have

493
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>different clubs and different shafts. So, I mean, there are

494
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.920
<v Speaker 2>so many variables that are in play here that it

495
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.119
<v Speaker 2>doesn't just come down to swing plane. There are other

496
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 2>factors that were not taken into account. And honestly, unless

497
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:53.640
<v Speaker 2>you are a really really good coach or somebody that

498
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:56.759
<v Speaker 2>has actually learned under a really good coach, you know

499
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.160
<v Speaker 2>that's that's a big key. That you're educated on what

500
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.319
<v Speaker 2>to look for and how to search for, it very

501
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>likely you're not going to get to the root of

502
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:09.039
<v Speaker 2>the problem. And that's where the specialist comes in. And

503
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of been the idea behind every Summer that

504
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.599
<v Speaker 2>I've ever hosted, is I went and found the expert

505
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.119
<v Speaker 2>in this particular you know, part of the game when

506
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:20.160
<v Speaker 2>it comes to club fitting or nutrition, or the mental

507
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>part of the game or a full swing or short

508
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 2>game or putting. You know, we went out and found

509
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.200
<v Speaker 2>those types, you know, like a Jane Seekman or Sean

510
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Folly or a Goodness grat I mean, there's so many

511
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:38.680
<v Speaker 2>like doctor Kwan, I mean, Ralph Bauer, I mean, there's

512
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.160
<v Speaker 2>so many types out there in different areas of the

513
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.720
<v Speaker 2>game that it's like, Okay, here's the specialists, and here's

514
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:47.799
<v Speaker 2>the information, and here's the questions that you need to

515
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:50.079
<v Speaker 2>know in order for you to be successful in your game.

516
00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 2>So that's been the idea behind every summer hosted and

517
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>one we got coming up as the road to the tour.

518
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.319
<v Speaker 3>It's so interesting that you said something that I had

519
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 3>just written down about the downside to YouTube is you'll

520
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:13.119
<v Speaker 3>see something that resonates with you, but it's not personalized

521
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 3>to you. So you'll think, oh, well, I have this

522
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:17.279
<v Speaker 3>lice and this guy's teaching me how to get rid

523
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.160
<v Speaker 3>of a slice, and so I'm going to go out

524
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.480
<v Speaker 3>and do that. And yet that's not really what.

525
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.000
<v Speaker 4>The cause of the problem is, right, you know, maybe

526
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.960
<v Speaker 4>you just have a bad grip and that's not being

527
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:32.640
<v Speaker 4>discussed in any of the videos that you're looking at,

528
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:34.920
<v Speaker 4>nor would you even consider that, Oh well, this is

529
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:36.799
<v Speaker 4>the way I've always gripped it, so it's.

530
00:28:36.599 --> 00:28:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Got to be fine. So the downside again of YouTube,

531
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 3>as prolific as it is, is it's not about you.

532
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:52.160
<v Speaker 3>You make it about you right on that I mean,

533
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.160
<v Speaker 3>is that kind of where we're going with this?

534
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's the idea, right, It's you can

535
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 2>quickly spot out the very good coaches, the one that is,

536
00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:06.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, are the ones that are sharing the really

537
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.799
<v Speaker 2>good content and they're the ones that are kind of

538
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.799
<v Speaker 2>educating you more on what to look for versus like,

539
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:16.319
<v Speaker 2>here's a drill to fix it, and you've got to

540
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:19.720
<v Speaker 2>get to the Y. And that's really really hard when

541
00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.799
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna take that one to many approach. And that's

542
00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:27.119
<v Speaker 2>that's why I like, it's so important to educate you

543
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:31.000
<v Speaker 2>based on So I'm a big fan. Yeah, I've been

544
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:34.599
<v Speaker 2>blessed to kind of learn the golf machine more ad

545
00:29:35.160 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 2>and so, like you know, you'll hear coaches and even

546
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:41.960
<v Speaker 2>some of YouTube instructors will talk about P one, P two,

547
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.799
<v Speaker 2>P three, P four, p five, and they're great positions.

548
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:48.720
<v Speaker 2>That's all they stand for, you know. P one being

549
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:51.119
<v Speaker 2>a draft. P two like chaft pro in the background,

550
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, and backswing, you know, just to keep it

551
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.240
<v Speaker 2>really simple. P three being like we're left arms pro

552
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:58.920
<v Speaker 2>of the ground. And so you're looking at these positions

553
00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and it's a really easy way to kind of pinpoint

554
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.960
<v Speaker 2>figure out like where are you getting wrong? You know,

555
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:09.039
<v Speaker 2>John Dougherty, who he partnered with and he's a phenomenal

556
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:13.200
<v Speaker 2>coach that nobody knows about yet, but in my opinion,

557
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:14.720
<v Speaker 2>he's one of the best in the world. And it's

558
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.200
<v Speaker 2>mainly because he spent so much time with Maco Grady.

559
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:20.200
<v Speaker 2>And anybody that's worked assault and teaching a game have

560
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:23.160
<v Speaker 2>gotten their information one way or another from Maco Grady,

561
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:27.839
<v Speaker 2>whether they're going to say it upfront or not. I can.

562
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.799
<v Speaker 2>I can attest to that because I've had conversations with

563
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the who's who in the instruction the world, and I

564
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:35.759
<v Speaker 2>can tell you they have gotten their information and or

565
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:40.000
<v Speaker 2>either indirectly or directly from Mac. Okay. In fact, funny,

566
00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:44.000
<v Speaker 2>funny side story, I'm not going to name names, but

567
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:46.480
<v Speaker 2>like the who's who when they did a Golf Digest schools,

568
00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:49.039
<v Speaker 2>and I'm talking about the who's who. We're talking like

569
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the top five top ten people that are currently right

570
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.400
<v Speaker 2>now in Golf Digests. But back when they did the

571
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Golf Digest schools in the late nineties, they had Mac

572
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.440
<v Speaker 2>come in and teach the teachers. Hopefully they went out

573
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and did the school so it's pretty funny. But anyways,

574
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:08.880
<v Speaker 2>so P. One, P. Two, P. Three, P. Four, You

575
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:11.720
<v Speaker 2>know when you have somebody talk about those positions or

576
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.440
<v Speaker 2>you educate them on what to look for. John is

577
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:16.880
<v Speaker 2>always a big promoent proponent of you know, P one

578
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:19.319
<v Speaker 2>to P two is probably one of the most important

579
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:22.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, what do you want to call it? Sequencing

580
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:24.720
<v Speaker 2>that you want to look for because a lot of

581
00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 2>times what happens when a person takes caught back or

582
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.559
<v Speaker 2>their grip type or how their tilts are working. You know,

583
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you can fix a lot of issues between P one

584
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:36.119
<v Speaker 2>and P two that affect the entire rest of the swing.

585
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 2>So like, for example, someone like over rotates and goes

586
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 2>way inside from P one to P two in the backswing,

587
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:45.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can get yourself in a lot of

588
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:47.440
<v Speaker 2>trouble going up to the top of the swing at

589
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.880
<v Speaker 2>P four and then when you start down P five,

590
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:52.319
<v Speaker 2>which is you know, someone getting very steep and coming

591
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:54.599
<v Speaker 2>over the top or whatever. But it all started at

592
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.279
<v Speaker 2>from address to the backswing and the very early part

593
00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:59.599
<v Speaker 2>of P one to P two. So you know, that's

594
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:03.519
<v Speaker 2>what I mean about, Like you want to have a

595
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:06.440
<v Speaker 2>foundation or a system, which is what mac has done

596
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:08.839
<v Speaker 2>when he created a P one system. I mean the

597
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 2>P system like P one to P nine basically that's

598
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 2>what we call it. But what's fascinating is that when

599
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.319
<v Speaker 2>when you have something like that, you know what to

600
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:22.960
<v Speaker 2>look for it and it's easier to diagnose the faults

601
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:25.880
<v Speaker 2>and then get to the root of it. But when

602
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you go straight into hey do this, drill, do this

603
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:32.200
<v Speaker 2>without explaining the why, that's where it gets dangerous.

604
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.920
<v Speaker 3>M interesting. So the summit that you've got coming up

605
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:43.839
<v Speaker 3>this year, it's interesting because again this is talking. You're

606
00:32:43.880 --> 00:32:49.599
<v Speaker 3>addressing golfers that want to be serious about playing winning golf,

607
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:53.200
<v Speaker 3>not just playing golf, not just going out there and

608
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:56.480
<v Speaker 3>having I mean not just going out there and having fun.

609
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.480
<v Speaker 3>But when you're playing good golf, it's a lot more

610
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:04.000
<v Speaker 3>fun when you're playing bad golf. But still, no matter

611
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:06.119
<v Speaker 3>what level you're at, there's going to be days that

612
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.319
<v Speaker 3>you're going, I was not good today, I shot at

613
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:12.200
<v Speaker 3>seventy three, you know, and then there's guys who were like,

614
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.440
<v Speaker 3>I was not good today. I shot one hundred and six.

615
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 3>But you're you want to talk, you want to address

616
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 3>those folks that are serious about competing, and you've got

617
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:24.599
<v Speaker 3>this summit coming up this year that's going to be

618
00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:28.720
<v Speaker 3>it's well, just let's start name dropping here. Who do

619
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.240
<v Speaker 3>you have and how is this what you do for

620
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:34.519
<v Speaker 3>the years you spend your time developing the next summit?

621
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Are you teaching these days?

622
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:39.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, it kind of seems like in this particular one,

623
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean this has been in the works for probably

624
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 2>the last five months, so I mean I spent a

625
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:46.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of time put into this and you know, bringing

626
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:50.680
<v Speaker 2>in these type of people and experts and influencers and

627
00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:54.039
<v Speaker 2>all that and set this event. So yes, I mean

628
00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 2>the majority of my time is still spent where coaching

629
00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 2>clients all around the world because, like I said, you know,

630
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:00.319
<v Speaker 2>a big part of what we do on a day

631
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.200
<v Speaker 2>and day out basis as the mental side of the game,

632
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:04.400
<v Speaker 2>which is, you know, teaching people how to get into

633
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:06.559
<v Speaker 2>flow state more often because that's where you're going to win.

634
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:09.039
<v Speaker 2>That's where you're going to play your best golf. Regardless

635
00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 2>of what level you're at, even if you're a guy

636
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:12.840
<v Speaker 2>that shoots in the nineties hundreds, if you can think

637
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:16.280
<v Speaker 2>better and you know, get to a place where we

638
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:18.880
<v Speaker 2>call cavem in golf, you're going to lowder scores. Like

639
00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 2>that's just the fact. And that also applies to a

640
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.199
<v Speaker 2>player like a really good player that's on tour, you know,

641
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:27.159
<v Speaker 2>if you can remove the distractions and get to the

642
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:31.400
<v Speaker 2>point where pressure doesn't necessarily bother you as much or

643
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:37.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's not that you'll ever remove pressure. It's

644
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.760
<v Speaker 2>okay to be nervous, it's okay to you know, fill

645
00:34:41.840 --> 00:34:44.480
<v Speaker 2>that kind of energy. But it's how you respond is key.

646
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:47.199
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's what we've really helped a lot of

647
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:50.440
<v Speaker 2>players do, is how we respond to that type of environment.

648
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, And although the summit is road to the

649
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.000
<v Speaker 2>tour Summit, we know there's gonna be a lot of

650
00:34:57.000 --> 00:34:59.559
<v Speaker 2>people that are attending us that are your everyday golfer

651
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.119
<v Speaker 2>at once win a club championship, or maybe he just

652
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:05.360
<v Speaker 2>wants to be the best player in their foursome, or

653
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's a college player or maybe even up

654
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.079
<v Speaker 2>and coming junior golfer that wants to play golf in college.

655
00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:12.199
<v Speaker 2>And then you know you're playing in college. I mean,

656
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:13.960
<v Speaker 2>how do you win your first college tour event? I

657
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 2>mean a college event or you know, after college, what

658
00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:19.400
<v Speaker 2>does it look like to turn pro? And if I'm

659
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:21.039
<v Speaker 2>going to turn pro and I'm going to make this

660
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:24.639
<v Speaker 2>my pursuit, you know what's the fastest path. Well, that's

661
00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:28.119
<v Speaker 2>your answer with the summit is we have literally I

662
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:29.960
<v Speaker 2>guess you could say we pioneered it because I haven't

663
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:33.440
<v Speaker 2>seen anything else out there in the last five years.

664
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Last time you hosted this, the very first one was

665
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:37.559
<v Speaker 2>I think twenty twenty one, and it was the very

666
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:40.960
<v Speaker 2>first ever summit that was designed around what does it

667
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:43.320
<v Speaker 2>take to get to a top ten world ranking? And

668
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:44.960
<v Speaker 2>so that's what we've done with the Road to the

669
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Tour summits, and that's what this one is all about.

670
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:50.119
<v Speaker 2>We're bringing in the who's who to show you the

671
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 2>fastest path to get to the top level in the game.

672
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.119
<v Speaker 2>And that's for the PGA Tour and the LPGA.

673
00:35:54.800 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Tour Amazing, amazing and the the people that you bring in,

674
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:06.320
<v Speaker 3>you're not just talking about swing mechanics. You've got them

675
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:11.880
<v Speaker 3>covering all different topics. Absolutely a month a month of

676
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:15.800
<v Speaker 3>golf smurters, like just going all over the place with

677
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:21.079
<v Speaker 3>a lot of different experts sharing their wisdom and instruction.

678
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:23.559
<v Speaker 3>Is this a hands on or an online course?

679
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.400
<v Speaker 2>No, so this is this is a live online summit

680
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:30.800
<v Speaker 2>LB two days on the eighteenth and nineteenth of November,

681
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and you know, we we have brought in PGA Tour

682
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:41.559
<v Speaker 2>LPGA Tour and a dp World Tour. So we had

683
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Justin Barget from PJ Tour to share his insight, you know,

684
00:36:45.960 --> 00:36:47.760
<v Speaker 2>what does it look like in all the different paths

685
00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:51.480
<v Speaker 2>to get to the PGA Tour. We also had Jody Brothers,

686
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:56.480
<v Speaker 2>who is Chief business Officer of the LPGA Tour and

687
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:59.039
<v Speaker 2>also the head of the Epsent Tour, which is the

688
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:02.920
<v Speaker 2>development tour for LPGA Tour. So he gives all of

689
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:06.599
<v Speaker 2>his insight and shares the multiple paths for someone to

690
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:12.360
<v Speaker 2>get to the LPGA Tour. But he also has given

691
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:17.960
<v Speaker 2>and is giving some amazing insight to get the attention

692
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:26.239
<v Speaker 2>of a potential sponsor invite. And that is fascinating because

693
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:29.639
<v Speaker 2>what he has and what he's going to share is

694
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:33.639
<v Speaker 2>amazing when it comes to getting your name recognized or

695
00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:36.239
<v Speaker 2>putting yourself to the front of the stack. You know,

696
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:40.840
<v Speaker 2>these tournament directors, they're getting like fifty sixty seventy applicants

697
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:44.079
<v Speaker 2>on you know, trying to get a sponsor invite into

698
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:47.199
<v Speaker 2>a tour event. And what Jodie is going to share

699
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:50.920
<v Speaker 2>is one of the fastest ways to actually secure a

700
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:57.320
<v Speaker 2>tournament sponsored invite and that's super important. So that's gonna

701
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.119
<v Speaker 2>be a good one. And then we had Stuart Cage

702
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.559
<v Speaker 2>of DP World Tour, which is known as you know,

703
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:05.280
<v Speaker 2>formerly as a European tour, and he shares some amazing

704
00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:08.360
<v Speaker 2>stuff and we'll share some incredible stuff. One, you know,

705
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:11.159
<v Speaker 2>how to increase your chances of qualifying through you know,

706
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Q school and stuff like that. So we got those guys,

707
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:15.360
<v Speaker 2>and then of course.

708
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:19.000
<v Speaker 3>And then well, well let's there's a long list of

709
00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:20.679
<v Speaker 3>names and we'll get to more of those, but we'll

710
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:28.920
<v Speaker 3>come back and we'll do that in a minute. You

711
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.360
<v Speaker 3>mentioned that the summit is just coming up in a

712
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.440
<v Speaker 3>couple of days of when we're publishing this show. It's

713
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:40.559
<v Speaker 3>November eighteenth through the nineteenth. It's a two day online summit.

714
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 3>So that means if somebody is like fascinated and wants

715
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 3>to pursue this, but the date has already passed, is

716

00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:14.760

00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.360
<v Speaker 2>call it FOMO fear missing out.

725

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Jay instructors that are going to go through this for

740
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 2>the MSR credits, but a lot of them will also

741
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:08.679
<v Speaker 2>attest and say that yes, I could have charged you know,

742
00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a thousand plus for this event just for the information

743
00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:13.320
<v Speaker 2>and who's on it, what they're going to be sharing,

744
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:15.840
<v Speaker 2>and even let's put it this way, if you're a

745
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:20.400
<v Speaker 2>person that is like a tour player and this information

746
00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:23.480
<v Speaker 2>secures your tour card. What does that worth? Do you? Well,

747
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:24.880
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you right now that could be worth

748
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:29.519
<v Speaker 2>millions of dollars. So to be able to attend this

749
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.639
<v Speaker 2>for free for two days pretty fascinating. But if you are,

750
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:36.599
<v Speaker 2>by chance.

751
00:40:36.360 --> 00:40:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Stop teasing, how do you do that?

752
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:39.880
<v Speaker 2>You go to the page, you'll find out.

753
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:42.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, So the link will be in our show notes.

754
00:40:42.599 --> 00:40:45.000
<v Speaker 2>It will be. But even if even if you're listening

755
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:48.239
<v Speaker 2>to this after November eighteenth, nineteenth, it's totally fine. We're

756
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 2>still going to show you twenty four yep. For we're

757
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:53.159
<v Speaker 2>going to show you how to still go to the

758
00:40:53.199 --> 00:40:55.360
<v Speaker 2>link and you'll still be able to watch and see

759
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:57.159
<v Speaker 2>the recordings and we'll show you how to do that.

760
00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Great, great, great great. Okay, let's keep talking about some

761
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:03.320
<v Speaker 3>of the people that you're going to have there, because

762
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:08.039
<v Speaker 3>make it worth it. Let's let's go down the list

763
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:12.199
<v Speaker 3>of people that you're going to be showcasing in your summit.

764
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so like day one, obviously we got the PGA Torial,

765
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:19.840
<v Speaker 2>PGA Tour and dp World Tour, but we also have

766
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Mark Emmlman and you know Mark Snellan as a longtime broadcaster,

767
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:28.960
<v Speaker 2>brother of Trevor Limiman. And you know, Mark's a player himself,

768
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:32.199
<v Speaker 2>but he's also a great coach and he's been out

769
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:34.559
<v Speaker 2>there inside the roads for many years, and so he's

770
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:37.039
<v Speaker 2>got to see the who's who in the game. And

771
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:40.960
<v Speaker 2>what he's going to be sharing in that particular recording

772
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:45.039
<v Speaker 2>session with me is going to be fascinating because he's

773
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:48.079
<v Speaker 2>going to show you what it takes to get to

774
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:51.719
<v Speaker 2>that level, but not only that, what you need to

775
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:54.280
<v Speaker 2>do in order to stay out there. See, this is

776
00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:57.199
<v Speaker 2>where a lot of players get wrong. They can make

777
00:41:57.239 --> 00:41:59.679
<v Speaker 2>it on tour, they get their tour card, but how

778
00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:03.440
<v Speaker 2>many times that we heard people lose their card within

779
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:05.559
<v Speaker 2>the year of actually obtaining it, and then we don't

780
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:08.199
<v Speaker 2>see them again. And so you want to watch Mark's

781
00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:10.679
<v Speaker 2>episode because he's going to share some incredible stuff that's

782
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:13.559
<v Speaker 2>going to actually show you how to stay out there

783
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:13.960
<v Speaker 2>on door.

784
00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:17.199
<v Speaker 3>And let me ask you this about about these presentations.

785
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.199
<v Speaker 3>Is this like a PowerPoint presentation that they're doing or

786
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:26.199
<v Speaker 3>are you interviewing these people? And I'm guessing it's all video.

787
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's going to be video, And that's what's unique

788
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:33.719
<v Speaker 2>about it. You know, sometimes unlike you you know, most podcasters,

789
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:37.800
<v Speaker 2>they basically just record it and it's only audio, right,

790
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:41.079
<v Speaker 2>whereas this is going to be video and audio, and

791
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:42.760
<v Speaker 2>so people will be able to watch this. It's going

792
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:44.639
<v Speaker 2>to be live, and it's gonna be a live summit.

793
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:48.039
<v Speaker 3>On and each person's doing their own presentation and it's

794
00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:49.000
<v Speaker 3>like a PowerPoint thing.

795
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Not necessarily a power point A lot of them is

796
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:53.719
<v Speaker 2>going to be like an interview style where we're going

797
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:56.079
<v Speaker 2>to be asking them questions and just getting information and.

798
00:42:56.039 --> 00:42:59.840
<v Speaker 3>You're going to be doing that interview yeah, okay, okay.

799
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And so someone might use a PowerPoint, they might

800
00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:07.159
<v Speaker 2>go into presenting style, but in the case of market

801
00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:09.239
<v Speaker 2>it's probably going to be sinces. His style all the

802
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:12.400
<v Speaker 2>time is podcasting like yourself. He's probably gonna be more

803
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:16.360
<v Speaker 2>comfortable to just sharing his information freely, right. So that's

804
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:18.239
<v Speaker 2>that's the first one, or that's one of the ones.

805
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:21.159
<v Speaker 2>On day one, we also got Pete Callen. Pe Callen

806
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:24.000
<v Speaker 2>is probably the best coach that nobody knows about. It's

807
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:26.960
<v Speaker 2>funny there's a Golf Digest article written about him with

808
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that title, But Pete is somebody that you should know

809
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:34.920
<v Speaker 2>about because, honestly, in my opinion, he's probably top three

810
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:37.559
<v Speaker 2>in the world just in terms of his wisdom and

811
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:39.920
<v Speaker 2>who he's worked with. I mean Roy mcroy's part of it.

812
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:43.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, the students he's worked with, Ian Matt's, Fitzpatrick,

813
00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:47.320
<v Speaker 2>I think Lee Westwood, a lot of European stars, right

814
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:52.599
<v Speaker 2>and just to him and who he's worked with, he's

815
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:54.960
<v Speaker 2>credited for helping players win over two hundred and fifty

816
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:58.440
<v Speaker 2>times worldwide and then eight majors. The guy's got a

817
00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:02.840
<v Speaker 2>ton of wisdom and so his is someone I'm super

818
00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:05.800
<v Speaker 2>excited about because wisdom that's gonna be shared on that

819
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:09.679
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be amazing. He doesn't really do a whole

820
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:11.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of interviews or you know, a lot of like

821
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:15.079
<v Speaker 2>freely sharing his information out there, So to get him

822
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.639
<v Speaker 2>on the summit, I'm pretty pumped about. So he'll be

823
00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:20.639
<v Speaker 2>another one. We also got Parker McLachlan. He will also

824
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:23.440
<v Speaker 2>be on Day one. That's a short game chef. He's

825
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:26.119
<v Speaker 2>also a PGA Tour winner and he's gone through Q

826
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:29.079
<v Speaker 2>School twice. And he's the one that I'm really excited

827
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:33.239
<v Speaker 2>about because this guy has successfully gone through Q School twice.

828
00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Not many people can really say that, and so again

829
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:39.920
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna have a lot of wisdom to share, like

830
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:42.679
<v Speaker 2>how to successfully go through Q School because everybody knows

831
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Q school is like the most intense pressure, right There's

832
00:44:46.960 --> 00:44:49.400
<v Speaker 2>so much on the line, and for him to go

833
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:52.280
<v Speaker 2>through it and successfully qualify twice, it's gonna be pretty

834
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:56.199
<v Speaker 2>interesting to get his wisdom. But his segment is also

835
00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:58.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a lot on short game. He's a phenomenal

836
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:00.920
<v Speaker 2>wadge player and he's one of the best out there

837
00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:03.760
<v Speaker 2>to ever do it, and so he's going to share

838
00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:06.079
<v Speaker 2>some really incredible insight on how to become a better

839
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:08.800
<v Speaker 2>wedge player, better person around the green, also in putting.

840
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:13.119
<v Speaker 2>And then we also have Scott Fawcett Ando. Scott's been

841
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:17.559
<v Speaker 2>on your show, and what better guy you know to

842
00:45:17.599 --> 00:45:19.280
<v Speaker 2>cover strategy right.

843
00:45:19.199 --> 00:45:20.840
<v Speaker 3>What decade decade golf?

844
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:23.239
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing. You know, he and I have developed a

845
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:25.480
<v Speaker 2>really good friendship over the years, and he's been pretty

846
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:29.719
<v Speaker 2>much I think, every summing I've done, and I mean,

847
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.239
<v Speaker 2>why not, because the guy is just so brilliant when

848
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:35.559
<v Speaker 2>it comes to just making better decisions and anybody is

849
00:45:35.599 --> 00:45:38.079
<v Speaker 2>going to get better if you apply any of his stuff,

850
00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.480
<v Speaker 2>so his is always going to be good. And then

851
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Shannon and I will also be on day one and

852
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:47.000
<v Speaker 2>we're going to share, you know, a lot on the

853
00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:49.159
<v Speaker 2>mental side of game. And so that will include day

854
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:51.880
<v Speaker 2>one as far as the speakers for day one, but

855
00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:55.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, it gets really good on day two. Get

856
00:45:55.760 --> 00:45:57.280
<v Speaker 2>some incredible people on day two.

857
00:45:58.119 --> 00:45:59.280
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, come on.

858
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:03.880
<v Speaker 2>So one of the headliners is going to be Ted Scott.

859
00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:06.599
<v Speaker 2>So it's no secret in the incredible year that Scotty

860
00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:09.719
<v Speaker 2>Shuffler had this past year in twenty twenty four. But

861
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:13.199
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, I really believe Ted is a big

862
00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:16.480
<v Speaker 2>reason behind it. And here's why I know that we

863
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:18.800
<v Speaker 2>all got to see what happened at the PGA Championship

864
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:23.360
<v Speaker 2>earlier this year. Right Scotty gets arrested, goes to jail,

865
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:27.800
<v Speaker 2>He's probably only like one or two people that could

866
00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:33.960
<v Speaker 2>go through that type of you know, firstands right adversity

867
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:36.559
<v Speaker 2>and still come out and shoot, man, what do you shoot?

868
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:36.840
<v Speaker 3>That day?

869
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:38.199
<v Speaker 2>It was like four or five under or something like

870
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:43.760
<v Speaker 2>that on that Friday or whatever it was. And what's

871
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:46.880
<v Speaker 2>interesting is the next day, and this has been planned,

872
00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Ted was supposed to, you know, go home to his

873
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:52.920
<v Speaker 2>daughter's graduation or something like that in high school that

874
00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:55.440
<v Speaker 2>he had already planned that he was going to be away.

875
00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:58.639
<v Speaker 2>And then we see Scotty on day three, moving day

876
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and he really struggles with the fill in caddy. And

877
00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:05.519
<v Speaker 2>so my opinion is Ted is a big part of

878
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:09.320
<v Speaker 2>like keeping him grounded. And Ted also believes like Scotty,

879
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:11.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, he believes in God and so he's he's

880
00:47:12.119 --> 00:47:15.280
<v Speaker 2>and there's been articles and stuff like that written on

881
00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:18.440
<v Speaker 2>their relationship and everything else. But I really believe that

882
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Ted is a major part of why he's done so well.

883
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:24.320
<v Speaker 2>And you know, the fascinating thing is Ted's got a

884
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:27.320
<v Speaker 2>ton of wisdom just in terms of caddy in So

885
00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:29.679
<v Speaker 2>I brought Ted in because I want Ted to share

886
00:47:29.880 --> 00:47:33.480
<v Speaker 2>on his experience as a caddy and what players need

887
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:35.599
<v Speaker 2>to look for when it comes to hiring their own caddy,

888
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:38.559
<v Speaker 2>because that's important. That's a team and a lot of times,

889
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:41.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, players come out of college and they don't

890
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:43.519
<v Speaker 2>give a lot of thought. And I remember Mark Fulcher,

891
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:45.760
<v Speaker 2>justin Roses caddy I had on the very first summit.

892
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he covered a lot of red flags when

893
00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:51.599
<v Speaker 2>it comes to choosing the right caddy and stuff like that.

894
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:54.840
<v Speaker 2>And you don't have that luxury if you earn your

895
00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:57.920
<v Speaker 2>torque card and you choose a bad caddy and you're

896
00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:01.760
<v Speaker 2>not gelling and you waste you five, six, eight events

897
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:04.320
<v Speaker 2>and you're not making a cut. That's gonna cost you

898
00:48:04.360 --> 00:48:06.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money and that's gonna put you behind

899
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:09.639
<v Speaker 2>a ball. So that's another person that we brought in

900
00:48:09.679 --> 00:48:11.840
<v Speaker 2>for Day two. We also brought in one of our

901
00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:16.920
<v Speaker 2>tour players, Savannah a Lobby, and she's been amazing at

902
00:48:18.079 --> 00:48:22.400
<v Speaker 2>just being able to showcase herself like through Instagram and

903
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:26.559
<v Speaker 2>making herself attractive to sponsors. So her information and her

904
00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:31.760
<v Speaker 2>wisdom and just showing players on how to attract sponsorships

905
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:34.480
<v Speaker 2>is a big deal because when you're a college player

906
00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and you're coming out, you need to go ahead and

907
00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:40.840
<v Speaker 2>get the ball rolling on the social media side of

908
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:43.119
<v Speaker 2>things so that you can make yourself attractive to a

909
00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:47.079
<v Speaker 2>potential sponsor. And she has done an amazing job of

910
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:50.480
<v Speaker 2>that from a grassroots level, so to speak. And so

911
00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:52.599
<v Speaker 2>she'll share her wisdom on how to do that and

912
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.199
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be very valuable. And then we also got

913
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:57.480
<v Speaker 2>people like Ralph Bauer of Tour Read. You know, I

914
00:48:57.519 --> 00:48:59.239
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of times I was one of the

915
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:00.880
<v Speaker 2>first ones be so to find an aame point at

916
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:03.440
<v Speaker 2>the very beginning with David Orr. But you know, a

917
00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:05.719
<v Speaker 2>lot of times I hear the complaint that when people

918
00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:07.960
<v Speaker 2>struggle with reading greens and they've gone through ain point,

919
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:11.280
<v Speaker 2>it's like they can't really feel the percentage of their

920
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:14.800
<v Speaker 2>feet and stuff like that. Well, Tour Read is incredible

921
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:17.239
<v Speaker 2>because it's an app on your phone that you can

922
00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:19.320
<v Speaker 2>literally just go out there and place on the green

923
00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:22.320
<v Speaker 2>and see what the percentage is and you just continue

924
00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.360
<v Speaker 2>to work through that to verify what your reads are.

925
00:49:25.880 --> 00:49:29.000
<v Speaker 2>And so it's a really good alternate to someone to

926
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:31.159
<v Speaker 2>maybe struggle with a point. So I brought in Ralph

927
00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:33.559
<v Speaker 2>to share his expertise on that. So that's going to

928
00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:37.599
<v Speaker 2>cover the putting green reading side of things. And you know,

929
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:39.880
<v Speaker 2>we got a few more like John Dockerty who's going

930
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:42.320
<v Speaker 2>to cover full swing. And you know somebody that, in

931
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:46.400
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, is probably the most underrated in the swing

932
00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:50.320
<v Speaker 2>space because of his time spent as Maco Grady's right

933
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:52.360
<v Speaker 2>hand man for many years when Mac did a lot

934
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:56.320
<v Speaker 2>of these golf schools. So a lot of wisdom, a

935
00:49:56.320 --> 00:50:00.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of information, but it's all geared toward helping people

936
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:02.800
<v Speaker 2>get to that next level in the game, yep, yep.

937
00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:06.840
<v Speaker 3>And how long per day is each summit day? So

938
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:10.440
<v Speaker 3>it sounds like a commitment to.

939
00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:13.280
<v Speaker 2>An extent, right, you know, I believe we're looking at

940
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:15.960
<v Speaker 2>somewhere between three and a half to four and a

941
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:17.559
<v Speaker 2>half hours each day.

942
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, okay, so make make that your plan for golf

943
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:21.920
<v Speaker 3>that weekend.

944
00:50:22.239 --> 00:50:25.960
<v Speaker 2>You need to, right, No, no, no excuse Right, We're

945
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:30.559
<v Speaker 2>going to be a November golf for you know, basically

946
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:33.760
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina and above right, you know it's getting colder,

947
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.639
<v Speaker 2>so what better way to maybe take some cold days

948
00:50:37.679 --> 00:50:40.760
<v Speaker 2>and immerse yourself into an event like this, The better

949
