And what's happening in 73 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.040 your space at the moment? 74 00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:28.240 Say sure, yeah, I don't even know where to begin, man. 75 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.959 But I was thinking about it the other day that 76 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.199 I've kind of grown up with with golf pretty much 77 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.199 most of my life because my uncle used to be 78 00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.000 a caddie back in the day, and when we were kids, 79 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.160 he used to take myself and my cousins to the 80 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.639 driving range and at the time, I mean we would 81 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.920 just mess around, just see the golf balls, not really 82 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.680 with any aim of anything, you know, not even like 83 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.040 so we were pretty much sort of self taught in 84 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.439 in how I even sung a club and we were 85 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.480 obviously singing my uncle's clubs, which were way too heavy 86 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.800 for us. And but as the years went by, my 87 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.480 cousins kind of fell away. They love football more than golf. 88 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.519 I do. Cute still my number one passion, but but 89 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.040 I kind of kept on playing, you know. So my 90 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.839 uncle and I would spend quite a lot of time 91 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.879 playing at Cruise the golf Club, which is where we 92 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.480 were members. And and yeah, then the bag you know, 93 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:34.600 sort of brit and caught when I was when I 94 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.600 was very young, and and and somewhere along the road, 95 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.600 I kind of like, especially when the Tertiary I kind 96 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.560 of stopped playing, but sort of you know, rekin, look 97 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.680 my love for the game once I once I once 98 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.000 I started working and could afford to time my own clubs. 99 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:57.000 Mm hmm. 100 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.160 And and you know, I like to think that that 101 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:04.040 you're mentioning that when you go to Tertiury, you sort 102 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.480 of took a step back, and I want to It's 103 00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.199 something that's very intriguing to me to say, why is 104 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.000 it that often enough when we get to that stage 105 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.160 of our life, So we just decide, you know what, 106 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.279 sports can read a bit, Let me focus on this 107 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:19.680 thing instead of jacking the two. 108 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:24.319 You know what I always and I think because I've 109 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:27.199 had years to kind of think about it, people who 110 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.480 went to high school with me will always tell you 111 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.720 that at some point I thought my career path would 112 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.199 be to become a professional golfer. But in retrospect, I 113 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:42.560 realized that I didn't have the necessary knowledge. Neither did 114 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.040 my parents or my uncle left the necessary knowledge of 115 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.120 how to actually get me on that park. So at 116 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.800 no point that I have a coach, At no point 117 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:57.079 that I play amateur events across the country on any circuit. 118 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.040 All I enjoyed was playing and beating the old people 119 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.800 and having some money, like on a Sunday competition. You know. 120 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:10.439 So somebody if somebody had said hey, madam don and 121 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.519 I like, oh no, list something, and then had kind 122 00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.839 of put me on the pathway, there's a bit of 123 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.000 structure and there's a there's a way to get to 124 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.040 that goal, I think it might have been different, So 125 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.639 I give it. I'm a tricky even then. I didn't 126 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.319 know what I was going to do. I ended that up, 127 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.759 you know, studying information technoledge because at the time somebody 128 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.000 was like, hey, if you want to make money, that's 129 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.879 where the mine is going to be. And and I 130 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.240 did that and and and went to study that. But 131 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.160 it was never really a passion of mine, you know, 132 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.800 so I never really stuck around. I finished school, but 133 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.480 I worked for a little bit and realized, Hora, this 134 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.240 is not really what I want to do. So I 135 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.959 think I kind of not even fell look off. It's 136 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.279 just that now you find other things. You're making new friends. 137 00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.199 You you were obviously school to think about. Now you 138 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.480 move that a home. So look where my clubs were. 139 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.600 You know, it wasn't in every every weekend thing. So 140 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.639 and I think over time you kind of forget about playing. 141 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.839 Mm hmmm, no, no, no, I hear you. 142 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.600 But I like the fact that you taught your elder's 143 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:32.840 lessons on Sundays and yeah, but but tell me, og, 144 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:38.200 I mean playing for so long and getting to meet 145 00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.320 different people, get into play different courses, like you said, 146 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.960 Sunday competitions and all of those. I want to ask 147 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.639 you what happens now when you get on the golf course, 148 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.679 when you get on the first t what thoughts actually 149 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.279 go through your mind? Do you still have the same 150 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.960 kind of feeling that you had when you were s touching? 151 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.080 Do you still have the same kind of feeling that 152 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.000 you had when you got back into the. 153 00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.559 Game after Oh? Is it more like? Okay, now it's 154 00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:07.759 just the occasual thing. 155 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.279 You know what, I'm used to this thing and I'm 156 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.000 going to hit this ball so so long and so straight. 157 00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:18.600 Yeah, you know, like there's there's there's friends of mine 158 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.600 that I play regularly with who are actually frustrated by 159 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.759 my game because they they know and I've seen when 160 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:30.159 I put together a low around and they so, how 161 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.120 are you not shooting in the loose seventies all the time? 162 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.679 And and I always say, and I reached the point 163 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.039 where I kind of stopped being hot on myself when 164 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.679 I play like a bedground or even a bad shot. 165 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:47.639 You know, there's a friend of mine, Craig Rodney want 166 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.200 like he used to play together and jobs. Then he 167 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:51.919 moved down to Cape Town and then one day said 168 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.480 he was playing and he was a really good god 169 00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:56.240 for down to like a two handicap, and he said 170 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.840 he played with this guy up into me, a psychologist, 171 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:02.879 and and Craig just got so hard on himself because 172 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.559 he knows he's a really good golfer. And the guy 173 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.840 was like, ah, man, think about it this way, like 174 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.399 you play this game socially. You don't get paid to play. 175 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.159 You're not a professional, So why do you even get 176 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.240 hort on yourself? Firstly, do you even like spend days 177 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.919 at the driving range? Like for me, when I think 178 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.840 about going to the driving range, now I'd rather go play. 179 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.519 So I now accept that when I hit a bad shot. 180 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.039 It's because I haven't really prepped to the level of 181 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.240 where I know I can play, and I think I've 182 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.000 got I've got such an understanding of my swing to 183 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.360 the point where I don't get shocked when I shoot 184 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.039 a low round, and when I shoot a bad one, 185 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.600 I don't get down on myself. So I enjoy the 186 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.159 game a lot more so. Even if I were to 187 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.080 shaenk abo before, I'd be like, that's just now. Now, 188 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.240 now you're walking to the next shot and thinking about that. 189 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.919 Now I really let it go. I'm like, I'm blessed 190 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.799 to play this game. I'm blessed to play some of 191 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.080 the best golf courses around. Grandma said, be hard on 192 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.960 myself because I'm not a pro, you know, so even 193 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:07.279 and the cool thing also about now working on tour 194 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.000 is that I see the pros hitting bad shots, and 195 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.360 these guys spend almost every waking day of their lives 196 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.600 practicing for this game. So if those guys can have 197 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:18.919 a bad shot, NA give man like to even be 198 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.240 hard on myself when I don't even practice, you know. So, 199 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.559 now when I step on the t I literally enjoy it, man, 200 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.679 So I never know and it will turn the rest 201 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.960 of my around. Like I might strip one down the 202 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.679 middle and it's like, oh, man, this is going to 203 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.000 be a good day. And sometimes it doesn't even turn 204 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.240 out today. Or I might push on hit a little 205 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.279 snaphook and I'm like, oh, it's going to be a 206 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.360 long day, and then for all you know, I end 207 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.080 up turning level or something like that. 208 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:45.360 You know. 209 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.639 So, so I've learned to not to be too hard 210 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:48.919 on myself to play this game. 211 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:49.120 Now. 212 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:57.720 No, now, I mean you mentioned that at the moment, 213 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.480 it's not about about being high on yourself. But the 214 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:07.120 key question here is do you still get nervous when 215 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.840 you play in competitions or let's say competitive games. 216 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.600 Do you do you do you get nervous? And how 217 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.440 do you actually ceher your nets? Do you? 218 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.840 I mean, every single player has their own routinees to say, Okay, 219 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.120 before you get into this thing, I'm just gonna focus 220 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.559 on my party and then push everything out of my mind. 221 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.919 Some would say, listen, when I address the ball, I 222 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:34.600 will just take the club, grip it, do multiple practice strings. 223 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:38.879 So how do you actually exercise the thought of getting 224 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:40.080 rid of your nets? 225 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.639 Ah? Man? Like, I think the nerves are always there 226 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.519 after traveling for a long time, Like I hadn't played 227 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.039 clap Champs for for quite a long time. So last 228 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.879 year I got I got an opportunity because I had 229 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.159 a window that weekends I played clap Champs. And it 230 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.159 was crazy how nervous are got. But it's because you know, 231 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:04.000 what is it they? You know, like like they literally 232 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.840 every shot counts, you know, and and and it's hard 233 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.759 to control those nerves when when when you also haven't 234 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.840 like I said, you haven't practiced, you haven't really you know, 235 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.519 knuckled down on how to handle them. So for me, 236 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.519 I often find when I actually don't overthink this game 237 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.080 is when I actually play my best. So even when 238 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.720 I feel them, I most often don't even hate a 239 00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.519 practice shot because I think I want to replicate that 240 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.480 and then I don't quite do it. So especially on 241 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.639 the first team, I will literally peg it up, loosen 242 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:39.600 myself and just smash. Depending what's saying. Hopefully, if I'm 243 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.480 losing enough, it becomes a good one. You know that. 244 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:48.240 But I also I also thrive on on making people 245 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:53.600 say wow. So for me, when they people on the 246 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.960 tea box, yeah, when I'm on the T box, I 247 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.480 actually get excited more than nervous. I'm like, hey, to 248 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:04.320 give up, Like I can actually hit a ball, so 249 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.440 that kind of settles the nerves. I get a little 250 00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:08.320 bit cotty. And if I hit a bad run. I 251 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:12.039 mean it's not all the time that, but I actually 252 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.399 feel off that nervous energy and and and I know 253 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:17.519 if I don't do too much, don't overthink it, and 254 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.600 if everything is a line that really plays the ball 255 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.120 exactly where it should be. My swing is so repetitive, 256 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.919 like there's nothing that changes in my swing for for 257 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.600 years now, so I know if I just pick it 258 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.879 up and then swing the club, if I'm loosing up, 259 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.559 I know it's going to be good. Mm hmm. 260 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.720 I like your confidence. 261 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.679 I wish I was like you because you see, the 262 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.759 thing with me is that whenever I'm on the tea box, 263 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.360 I actually like being lost because I want to see, Okay, 264 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.919 what's happening, what's this guy going to do? And then 265 00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.559 if they're all good shots that I know I'm in 266 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.759 the right place because I feel of that energy to say, okay, 267 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.120 now now the rhythm is back. 268 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.639 And then but I still do those two things. 269 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.080 And like you said, if you, if you, if you 270 00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.159 do a practicing, you want to replicate it, and sometimes 271 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.000 it doesn't work the way that you want. 272 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.600 So yeah, I start beating myself. 273 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.600 I know very well. So not for another The opposite 274 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:19.879 is I hope I said like a good president so 275 00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:22.320 that they see. But more than anything, I hope it 276 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.720 puts them under pressure to say, yeah, you said one. 277 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.240 You know. But obviously if I if I push the 278 00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:32.919 drive like but I like to be the first one up, 279 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:33.840 it just gets. 280 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:39.639 Out all right. 281 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.200 Now, Now let's talk about the rest of the game, 282 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.200 like the entire cost management. 283 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.360 Right, Uh what what? 284 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.279 What is your ideal approach or what do you think 285 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.000 is an ideal approach overall? When getting into into the 286 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.000 game itself to say, okay, this is a round of golf, 287 00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:00.279 I'm gonna play an eighteen. Do you go aggressive from 288 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.840 the get go? Or would it depends on, like you said, 289 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.840 what's at stake? Or do you just play the same 290 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.600 type of game over and over again with the mindset 291 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.879 of saying, this is the way I play, and I'm 292 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.799 not going to put a lot of pressure on myself 293 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.919 just to try to achieve something better than what I'm 294 00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:19.320 used to. 295 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.080 Yeah, I think it also depends on the game like 296 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:28.519 if it's a social round, and I probably don't. I 297 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.240 think I play a lot on my golf because I'm 298 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.200 a member. Johannes Burger played there, So like there's there's 299 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.600 holes where I know, for instance, that you can get 300 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.120 around without hitting a driver, Like the first hole is 301 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.240 a is a short is part five, So if you 302 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.840 hit a good driver, you can get then too. But 303 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.399 if you actually off with a foe im and you 304 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:52.320 hit a layup of the eight, You're going to have 305 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.039 like a sandwich in and the number of times and 306 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.960 I'm like, when I get to the course today, that's 307 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.360 what I'm gonna do. Just hit a four I and 308 00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.879 then I'll think like River, like I actually now forget 309 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.720 the let me pull out the driver. So even my 310 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.960 own player for the Boe part God, and there's a 311 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.480 lot of holes there where I know, like you do 312 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.799 not necessarily have to hit driver. But also what what 313 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.960 what then? I think about sometimes when I get in 314 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.160 the box, I'm like, okay, I did think about how 315 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:24.079 I'm gonna actually play this whole, but let me actually 316 00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.200 see what is my shape for today with the driver? 317 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:29.920 Now if I push a driver, I don't mind because 318 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.559 I can play for that and just aim a little 319 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.880 bit left. But if I start to hit the snap hook, 320 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.480 then I know I'm gonna leave the driver and I'm 321 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:38.720 hit through it all day. So even though sometimes I 322 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:40.559 think I'm not gonna start off with the driver, it 323 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.720 kind of tells me what sort of shots tape I'm 324 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.640 gonna be playing for the day. And if I do 325 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.039 that for two drives in a row and it's not 326 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.039 what I want, I often just put it back because 327 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:52.839 if you just force it the entire time, by the 328 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:54.839 time you wake up, it's hard if you can't find 329 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:59.559 the failways because now you're literally bringing the bogies and 330 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.319 the double into play. So the one thing I've learned, 331 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.440 like like following and playing with a lot of pros, 332 00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:07.440 is that try to limit the damage as much as possible. 333 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.799 So if you think and there really isn't a gap, 334 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:14.720 sometimes there's nothing wrong with punching the ball out sideways. 335 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.400 You might hit a brilliant third shot, get yourself closed 336 00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.440 and walk from the park. At worst you come up 337 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.799 with a bull no clary. The ball comes back now 338 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:31.240 staring unnecessarily, you know. So sometimes I think as amateurs 339 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.559 we need to learn and to to kind of take 340 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:36.160 the medicine a lot more than we do. 341 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.559 But tell me, since you mentioned. 342 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:46.880 Arter, do you regularly have this what if moments to say, 343 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.519 if I had if I had done this, if I 344 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:50.400 hit this club. 345 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.400 Do you regularly have those or is it just in 346 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:54.799 a long while that it happens. 347 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.759 Nah, I think every golfer does. I think, like, especially 348 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:01.279 if you play Coastal Gold of because for us, like 349 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:05.680 it's completely different like playing up here things. So there 350 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.720 you kind of question yourself a lot because you might 351 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:10.880 under club, you might overclub, and then you think about 352 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:13.599 it actually just hit this iron or that other iron. 353 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.839 But generally like and it's also like, because I'm friends 354 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:22.559 with a lot of professional caddies, you start to think 355 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.960 about just safety on a golf course. So you don't 356 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:31.319 necessarily necessarily have to go for every pin. You don't 357 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:35.000 necessarily have to be like to attack everything. If you 358 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.599 can tell who this pain has been tagged front right, 359 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:41.480 and there's definitely like a penalty area on the right. 360 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.519 Hold on, let me see there's a banker that if 361 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.720 you go in you're gonna shortside yourself. There's nothing wrong 362 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:49.000 with going for the middle of the green. You might 363 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:50.920 think a long one or you took part for a 364 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.599 past So that's if there's one thing that's changed over 365 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.200 the last few years for me, it's there to say 366 00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:00.920 like miss on the right out side, you know what 367 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.960 I mean. So even if if if the pen is 368 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.720 at the back, or even if it's front right like, 369 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.160 I will now think what is the number I need 370 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.799 to cover all the problems? So if there's water, if 371 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:14.640 I have to go over water, what is the club 372 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.039 that will make it safely over there? And then I'm 373 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:19.880 as that will be there, that will be the base. 374 00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:22.279 But if now the pin is way at the back, 375 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.160 that means I must just take an extra you know. 376 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.559 So having safety first is kind of what I've kind 377 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:29.519 of tried to do over the last couple of years. 378 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.759 So try to just take all the danger out of play. 379 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.799 Then then it makes the game. I mean, it's not 380 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:36.400 an easy game, but it just helps you out to 381 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:37.359 put bit more. 382 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:39.880 No, that's that's that's one hundred. 383 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:43.279 You know, I hate you saying something about a path 384 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.279 five and no, you know, I didn't want to ask 385 00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:49.160 this question, but it seems like you don't just hit 386 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:55.000 that ball, you you destroy it. So you you mentioned 387 00:20:55.039 --> 00:21:00.920 a four time and an eight times to lay up yeah. 388 00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:05.039 On a part five? So how long do you your 389 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.480 four eye? 390 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:09.079 No? No? And and this is the thing right, So 391 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:12.559 so I'm not a long driver by any stretch of 392 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:15.039 the imagination. I think I play with some corlas like 393 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:20.279 some of my friends hit a stupid ball. But I 394 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:23.400 know if if if I if I hit my full 395 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:27.960 iron properly, I can hit it two hundred meters, you know. 396 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.720 And if I hit it properly, I go dads too. 397 00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:35.279 So I find the target and I hate that point. 398 00:21:35.279 --> 00:21:37.359 If I catch it properly, it will go two hundred. 399 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:40.079 So if you, if I think about I think that 400 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.240 it could be like four fifty four sixty. So if 401 00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.319
