I 9 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.679 missed my first ten. There's no way I can miss 10 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.240 e let given the ball, and that's what the mentally 11 00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.960 tough athlete thanks. They always want the ball. They always 12 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.560 see the next shot as an opportunity, and they keep 13 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.600 on shooting, shooting, shooting, And people in all that are 14 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.159 not my light top don't do that. They're defeated when 15 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:53.560 they get to the course that are defeated. 16 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.240 If they get three holes in, they started bogey, double bowie, 17 00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.719 it's all over. They don't think that way more. We 18 00:00:58.799 --> 00:00:59.479 help people in. 19 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.799 This program understand that the whole bowl of golf is 20 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.040 to be able to walk up to your golf ball 21 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.359 and see an opportunity to do something amazing. 22 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.319 The highlight reel is virtually never from the tea box 23 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:13.200 or the center of the fair. 24 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.879 With the highlight reel is from impossible situations, tough lines, 25 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.000 no view of the pin, You got to hook it around, 26 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.879 go over something, you made a long putt to save par, 27 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:25.599 you were down that you weren't out, You came back 28 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.640 and you made five birdies to finish the round. I 29 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:29.920 mean that's the stuff that highlight reels a right. So 30 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.400 instead of hitting the ball somewhere that you don't like 31 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:38.640 in saying this sucks or now I'm screwed, why not say. 32 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.799 This is perfect? This couldn't be better. 33 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.439 Because when I put this ball around this tree and 34 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.560 a bounce between those buckers and a coast of. 35 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.680 The cut, this crowd is going to lose their mind. 36 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:56.239 And that's how a mentally tough athlete thinks. 37 00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.599 Jeff Ritter's preview of his upcoming fifty two week Make 38 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.400 the Turn Challenge.

It's 59 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.960 a website design, marketing, and personal branding company that's dedicated 60 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.719 most specifically to the golf business and even within that demographic, 61 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.599 more specifically to the coaches out there. So we're branching 62 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.240 out into doing some branding for golf facilities. 63 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.479 And what we do is it's all small business related. 64 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.520 So anybody that has an idea or a skill that 65 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.159 you need from a small business perspective, such as golf 66 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.360 instruction you know, we're going to help them. 67 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.199 Leverage that platform, you know, to its ultimate potential. So 68 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:37.800 it was something that kind of was. 69 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.560 Born from my success using social media in the last 70 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:41.520 seven eight years. 71 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:43.560 Jeff Bolten was a client of mine. 72 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.560 He had run a very successful business in his own 73 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.120 right and decided to exercise his exit strategy and he 74 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.199 was really passionate about getting into the golf business and 75 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.400 doing something cool. So we started Square it Up and 76 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.680 we sort of launched on a larger scale last year 77 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:02.280 than the PGA Show, and now we've got nearly seventy 78 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.039 clients that are working with us all the world to 79 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.199 build their brands. So, you know, when I'm not coaching, 80 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.919 I do actually spend a lot of time talking to 81 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.639 PGA professionals across the country about how to leverage their 82 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.000 gift of coaching into something that's you know, fulfilling and 83 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.959 worthwhile both you know, financially for themselves but also for the. 84 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:22.959 Security of their families. 85 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.279 It's a good looking website, man, Thank you, thank you. 86 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:28.720 It's very sharp. 87 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.079 You know, the golf businesses, you know, as you know, 88 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.639 it's the entertainment business, and the things that we're trying 89 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.079 to do is you know, to really slick graphics and 90 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.040 great connection points, be able to you know, get the 91 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.720 consumer connected with you know, the unique skills of the professional. 92 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.560 And it's one of these things where, for some reason, 93 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.279 in our industry, and I think it's probably the same 94 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.199 a lot of industries when it comes to the presentation 95 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.800 of the skill, a lot of people like to cut 96 00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:55.360 corners and. 97 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.879 Do it themselves.

Tell us one more 119 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:03.199 time refresh our men on what Make the Turn is 120 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.240 and what you want to do for your fifty two 121 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.040 week challenge. 122 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:06.839 Yeah. 123 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.959 Well, the core initiative behind jeffer Or Golf was a 124 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.480 program called Make the Turn. And as we said during 125 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.279 the last segment, you know, make the Turn it's a 126 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.959 high performance, lifestyle based brand that really helps people get 127 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.560 inspired and energized about their games and also their lives 128 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.360 in the areas of golf, performance, mindset, fitness, and nutrition. 129 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:27.800 You know. 130 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:29.560 So what we're going to be doing to help launch 131 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.920 the program really get people excited about what we're doing 132 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.480 is we're going to have a fifty two week weekend challenge. 133 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.600 So basically what people will be able to do is 134 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.759 this will probably start, I guess most officially probably around 135 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:42.720 like the first of the year. Fred. 136 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.720 We talked with our team actually since our last conversation. 137 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.120 We want to make sure that all of our ducks 138 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.480 are in a row and we've got most of the 139 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.560 content completed. But you'll be able to go to Facebook 140 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.000 on a Friday and you'll be able to see what 141 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.000 the challenge is for that week. It's going to rotate 142 00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.600 in that order of golf performance, mindset, fitness nutrition. 143 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.439 We're going to try and do is give people more 144 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.079 of a sense of purpose. 145 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.839 Behind the time that they spend on the golf course 146 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.800 and also in some cases away from the golf course 147 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.079 as well. Like we discussed before, you know, golf is 148 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:17.480 such a tip based industry, and as a coach, I've 149 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.759 just gotten tired of listening to tips, you know, from myself, 150 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:25.639 from other coaches, and I want the tips to add 151 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:27.519 up to something that's a little bit bigger than. 152 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.160 Just a one off experience. 153 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.360 You know. So when you go to the golf course, 154 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.279 if it's golf performance based, you're going to have some 155 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.759 kind of a of a drill to. 156 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:37.959 Try and complete. 157 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.000 It could be in the areas of you know, power 158 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.279 or putting or chipping or pitching or sand. If it's 159 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.199 mindset based, it might be an attitude that you're going to. 160 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.160 Hold for the day on the course. 161 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:50.199 And as you mentioned, you wanted me to talk about 162 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.680 some of the exact challenges, But it's all about creating 163 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.040 a sense of purpose. And all these challenges are are 164 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.079 very doable, but they are they are challenging. And the 165 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.600 idea is that if you participate in freday this program 166 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.560 for fifty two weeks and each Saturday you actually try 167 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:06.279 to complete one. 168 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:06.959 Of these challenges. 169 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.160 Some of these challenges is designed to improve your game, 170 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.800 improve your mindset long term, improve your overall health, and 171 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.319 improve the way that your body performs in fields. So 172 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.800 a lot of times when people start getting into a program, 173 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.199 the size of the program is so overwhelming. 174 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.279 You know, it's like p ninety X. 175 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.040 It's a great program, but man, you got to bust 176 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.360 your butt for ninety straight days. 177 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.240 I don't know how many people can actually do something 178 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:30.560 like that. 179 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.960 So this is all about getting people excited and engaged 180 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.320 and you know, having. 181 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.759 Little victories along the way that up to something big 182 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:38.200 in the end. 183 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.600 So if it's only going to be one day a week, 184 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.360 I mean you're issuing it on a Friday and asking 185 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.200 people to do it on a Saturday or whatever day 186 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.000 works for them that week. I'm sure whatever their Saturday is, 187 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:57.159 they may work on weekends and Wednesday is their Saturdays. 188 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:57.960 Right exactly. 189 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.000 You know, the weekend challenge is just you know, it's 190 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.279 a good moniker for a program like this, and if 191 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.159 somebody doesn't complete the challenge, it doesn't mean that the 192 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.159 next time they go out they don't actively participate or 193 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.000 work on it. You know, it's just sort of something 194 00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.639 we can put out every single week for fifty two weeks, 195 00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.480 and it's something people can look forward to. 196 00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.600 So certainly they can choose the day that works best 197 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.759 for them. But of course if they don't complete the 198 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:21.919 challenge day one, now they know. 199 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.240 That they get something to work towards and they can 200 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:27.120 infuse that practice session with that sense of purpose that we're. 201 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:28.200 Trying so hard to supply. 202 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.919 So let me play this skeptic here for a minute 203 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:36.720 on this idea, if you don't mind without me offending you. So, 204 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:40.600 you're not requiring a lot of time in each challenge. 205 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:42.039 Not at all, not at all. 206 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.480 I mean in the time that you're normally going to 207 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.960 dedicate at the golf course. It's just adding purpose to 208 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.519 that time that you're already setting aside pretty much. 209 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.120 And so that is key, is just adding a purpose 210 00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:01.480 exactly exactly. So I do challenge the first five, six, 211 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.919 seven weeks, and now we're starting now the eighth week, 212 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.480 ninth week. Now I'm starting to get into the rhythm 213 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:10.919 of each each week you have a different challenge, but 214 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:15.480 you're going to be repeating these. What's going to remind 215 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.519 me of what challenge one was when I get to 216 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.080 week ten and why that was important at that time 217 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:22.240 but it's no longer important. 218 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:23.720 Yeah. 219 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:26.879 Well, basically all the challenges will be listed on to 220 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:28.960 make the Turn blog, so you can actually go back 221 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.799 there and catalog the challenges and make sure. 222 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.279 That you can reference them. They're all going to be important. 223 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.519 It's one of these things where just because you. 224 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.600 Completed it, it doesn't mean that it's being left behind, 225 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.039 you know. So for example, if you've completed you know, 226 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:47.360 five to the fitness challenges, these are all things that 227 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.240 are designed to be sort of combined together that can 228 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:52.639 actually become a. 229 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.120 Relevant workout routine for you. 230 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.600 You know. But right now I'm not saying you have 231 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:57.960 to get into a workout program. 232 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.679 I'm challenging to get up in the morning and learn 233 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:01.000 how to. 234 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.000 Stretch properly with one basic stretch or challenging you get 235 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.360 up in the morning and do a balance drill, or 236 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.559 get up in the morning and spend five minutes doing 237 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.039 some kind of a strength based drill that can be 238 00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:14.559 done in the comfort of your own home. And you know, 239 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.279 life is all about building momentum. You know, anyone who's 240 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.279 really gotten involved with fitness knows that. You know, the 241 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.120 first day you go out there, you know, it feels like, 242 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:24.960 you know, the moment that you move or stretch or 243 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.799 pick something up, it feels like your muscle is going 244 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:27.639 to rip off the bone. 245 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.120 It's it's a terrible thing, you know, the first time you. 246 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:34.399 Experience fitness, if you are if you are unfit, or 247 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.840 if you're not conditioned for that. But the moment you 248 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.960 start to see yourself becoming more flexible or feel yourself 249 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.440 getting stronger, or you don't have that soreness, the next 250 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.240 day you can. 251 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:46.879 Go farther and farther into the program. 252 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.399 That's where you start building that momentum where you you 253 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.840 really want to go to the gym and you want 254 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:51.320 to push it. 255 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:51.879 Harder, you know. 256 00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:56.480 So this is all about creating you know, challenges that 257 00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:59.240 are that are doable, but they are are challenging, you know, 258 00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:02.720 revealing you might have a deficiency. But once you complete 259 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.279 a challenge, inspiring you to go ahead and tackle another one. 260 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.000 Wow, I thought I was going to be a bad 261 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.720 guy and throw out something you wouldn't have an answer for. 262 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:20.679 Now I'm curious, so we've got let's review what the 263 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.360 the categories of challenges are again mental. 264 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:27.919 Well, so we'll start with the golf performance, which, yeah, 265 00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.440 the technical aspect of proficiency, right, and then there's mindset, fitness, 266 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:34.600 and nutrition. 267 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:36.720 Those are four key categories. 268 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:38.720 Define mindset. 269 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.480 Mindset would be you know, the attitude which is the 270 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.879 precursor to each and every action that you have throughout 271 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.200 the day. 272 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:57.720 Okay, so let's okay, golf proficiency, mindset, fitness, nutrition. 273 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.840 You got it. Golf performance, we'll say golf perform, golf performance, golf. 274 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.240 Performance, mindset, fitness and nutrition. 275 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.799 All right, let's uh, let's start. Let's I'm really, I'm 276 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.039 so curious. I want to do one challenge of each 277 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.240 of these and that that's well, we'll cover the rest 278 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.159 of the uh the next twenty minutes. Well, let's do that. 279 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.000 So I'm sure that you. I know that you can 280 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:25.559 put five minutes into each of these. We've talked so 281 00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:27.399 many times. I know you can give me a five 282 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:28.519 minute answer if you need to do. 283 00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.240 Yeah. Well, and some of these are going to be 284 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.480 you know, all these challenges that I'm doing, they're going 285 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:36.000 to be video based challenges, so not only can you 286 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.519 hear what I say, but you can see me demonstrating 287 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.039 the challenge right before your eyes. So some of these 288 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.759 right here are going to be pretty difficult to explain, 289 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.639 such as the stretch that I have going. 290 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.200 But but no, I'll just you will do it slowly 291 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.919 and I'll do it along with you. You'll I'll get there, okay, 292 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.120 So listen, I've done yoga for golfers a number of 293 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.960 times in this show. I can we can get across 294 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:57.879 anything in audio. 295 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.799 Well cool, and the one I'm going to give you today. 296 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:02.080 Some are more difficult. 297 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:05.320 So the first challenge, which is a short game based challenge, 298 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.120 is probably not a challenge that you would start with. 299 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.279 But I'm going to throw it out there anyway. 300 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:09.000 So I love it. 301 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.039 You know, when people go out to the golf course, 302 00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:13.720 they buy a bucket of balls and they just start 303 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.879 whacking them. You know, and when it comes to putting, 304 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:18.480 you know, they'll drop down two or three balls and 305 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.360 I'll put them around for a few minutes and they say, well, 306 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:23.559 I got my putting practice in. And also if they 307 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.440 do have a couple of drills that they've learned, you know, 308 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.480 those drills get stale after time. So one of my 309 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.000 one of my favorite drills over the years is a 310 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.159 it's a four shot short game drill. 311 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:37.600 And what someone's going to do it it's important that 312 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.919 they can find a decent short game area to practice at. 313 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:43.000 Doesn't have to be perfect, doesn't have to be like 314 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.639 it's one of PGA West or some Race Jones masterpiece 315 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:47.240 right like that. 316 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.759 But you know, we would like to be able to 317 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:49.919 set up four different shots. 318 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.559 A fifty yard pitch, a fifteen yard pitch that goes 319 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.919 over a mound or over a bunker to the green, 320 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:01.600 a forty five foot chip, and then also a fifteen 321 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:05.799 foot putt. So basically, what they're going to do is 322 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.399 they're going to take ten balls and put them at 323 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:14.039 each one of these locations, and the goal is to 324 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.039 take as much time over each shot. So, for example, 325 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:19.200 if you're doing the forty five foot schip, you're going 326 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:22.799 to take as much time over each shot as if 327 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.279 you were trying to get up and down during a 328 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:25.879 round of golf. So we're trying to get away from 329 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.840 that rapid fire aspect. 330 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:30.399 Of practice of the bucket. 331 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.879 Yeah, to try and practice like you play right, sweep. 332 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.080 And swing sweep and swing sweep and swing sweep, sweep 333 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.879 the ball in front of you, hit it. Sweep the 334 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:41.919 ball in front of you, hit it. 335 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.279 So once you hit your ten shots from fifty yards 336 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.120 and then hit your ten shots you know in the 337 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.320 pitching shipping rotation, and then you roll ten puts from 338 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.320 fifteen feet, you're going to go back to these places 339 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.799 and you're going to hit one shot and you're going 340 00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:58.960 to play that shot. 341 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:00.559 Out to the hole right. 342 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.440 So your goal to complete this challenge is the number one, 343 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.360 hit all of your shots with that encore style attitude 344 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.600 and then hit one shot, get all the shots up 345 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.080 and down and make the fifteen foot putt. 346 00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:17.279 That's a harbor preak. 347 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:20.480 Yes it is. That's the way. So after you've done so, 348 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:25.759 now you've got you've given four different shots, taking ten 349 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.919 swings each right or whenever, reiterate this yep, okay, and 350 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.559 then when you finish those forty shots, you want to 351 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.639 go back to your fifty yard pitch with one ball 352 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.679 right and do the fifty yard pitch, but you want 353 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:44.919 to get it up and down right. I see, Then 354 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.559 you want to go back to your fifteen yard pitch 355 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:48.399 and get it up and down right. 356 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.120 Yes, so the complete challenge. 357 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.120 You have to get all three shots up and down 358 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:57.919 and make the putt to complete the challenge. So that 359 00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:59.840 that's a challenge that you could go out and do 360 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.639 every time you practice a short game, right. So this 361 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:05.880 is one of those challenges where I would be very 362 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.359 surprised if people were able to complete it that day. 363 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.640 But that's why it's challenging. 364 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.599 So it's going to really show you how important short 365 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:14.960 game is. 366 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.799 It's going to show. 367 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:20.160 You, you know, what your deficiencies might be and where. 368 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:25.079 But any professional golfer could could go out and very 369 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.559 easily complete complete this challenge. 370 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:32.640 I love this challenge. Yeah, I really love this challenge. 371 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:36.400 I think I'm not going to sneak out now that 372 00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:40.039 the sun is it's not daylight saving time, you know, 373 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.839 the local golf course, it's going to get dark early 374 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:44.319 enough where I can get to a hole that no 375 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.839 one's going to be around. I'm not really doing that. 376 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.920 I'm actually enough Fred. You know, if you've got a nice, decent. 377 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.039 Practice bunker in proximity, you could have a shot and 378 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:58.960 do the same thing for about ten to twelve year 379 00:17:58.960 --> 00:17:59.599 old bunker shot. 380 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.880 Okay, a bunker shot for just a greenside bunker. 381 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.559 Shot, right, bunker shot, Yeah, exactly. 382 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.000 That's a phenomenal challenge. Oh that is so good. Okay. 383 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:13.079 Fifty yard pitch, fifteen yard pitch, forty foot and ship 384 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:17.440 forty five foot chip, fifteen foot put and then a 385 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.400 green side. 386 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.960 Bunker greenside bumker shot. 387 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:26.119 Yeah, nice, very good. Okay, that is a great make 388 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.359 the turn performance challenge. 389 00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:31.640 Yeah, and that is a challenge that I actually got 390 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:34.799 years ago. I saw it in Golf di Just magazine. 391 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.640 You got to give credit where credit is due. I 392 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.759 believe Jack Kin, Jack Nulkin had a I think it 393 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:41.720 was a breaking. 394 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:42.960 Maybe one hundred and ninety or eighty, and that was 395 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:43.279 in there. 396 00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:44.599 But I think it's one of the drills that he's 397 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:47.680 done over the years with his tour pros and whatnot. 398 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:50.000 And also his client. So I stole that from Jack Lumpkin, 399 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:50.400 and that was. 400 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.359 Part of my challenge and I just stole it from you. 401 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:57.680
