WEBVTT 00:00:04.809 --> 00:00:08.429 Sit back and get ready to take off with Dynamic 00:00:08.429 --> 00:00:19.769 Golf. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Welcome back 00:00:19.769 --> 00:00:22.449 to Dynamic Podcast. I am your co -host, Tim McElvenna. 00:00:22.570 --> 00:00:26.289 And with me, as always, Sean Klotz. Sean, tell 00:00:26.289 --> 00:00:27.629 us about a little bit what we're going to be 00:00:27.629 --> 00:00:30.510 looking at for the Masters Preview today. Well, 00:00:30.530 --> 00:00:33.310 T -Mac, I think this is really... You know, one 00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:35.530 of the best weeks in golf. I mean, I think it's 00:00:35.530 --> 00:00:37.670 you've been there last year. You finally made 00:00:37.670 --> 00:00:40.810 it. Yeah. Right. You made the trek. So I'm kind 00:00:40.810 --> 00:00:43.030 of interested to see, you know, we talked about 00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:45.630 it last year, but maybe some of your feedback, 00:00:45.689 --> 00:00:49.570 like being a first time visitor, like what were 00:00:49.570 --> 00:00:51.689 some of the holes that maybe like really impressed 00:00:51.689 --> 00:00:54.969 you? You know, the viewing audience doesn't get 00:00:54.969 --> 00:00:58.799 to see the front nine. too often no so um did 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.219 you have any specific holes that you really were 00:01:01.219 --> 00:01:03.880 like surprised at how different they look in 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.299 person versus real life type of thing uh yeah 00:01:07.299 --> 00:01:10.340 for me i mean i found that uh you know what was 00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:13.590 it number Well, obviously when you first start 00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:15.209 out, when you look at number one, you can't believe 00:01:15.209 --> 00:01:18.150 how much of an uphill that is just to start off 00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:21.269 with. And then when you look at, I think the 00:01:21.269 --> 00:01:23.450 changes that they made to number two, I mean, 00:01:23.450 --> 00:01:25.150 it's almost like you're hitting back there in 00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:28.090 a phone booth back there. It's so, so far back. 00:01:28.989 --> 00:01:32.250 And then I would say, I want to believe it's 00:01:32.250 --> 00:01:34.629 number seven, the par three that's over there. 00:01:35.549 --> 00:01:38.629 Number six. Yeah. I absolutely fell in love with 00:01:38.629 --> 00:01:40.810 that hole. You know, I don't think anybody sees 00:01:40.810 --> 00:01:44.480 it, but. For me, personally, that became my new 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.579 favorite hole by far. Yeah, it's such a cool 00:01:47.579 --> 00:01:50.599 hole. I mean, number six, just the green itself, 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.200 right? You got the top right template. You got 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.959 a little kind of two -tier green. It's a par 00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.319 three. It's kind of like 180 from the back tee 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.799 box, which is really close to five green. Yeah. 00:02:02.980 --> 00:02:04.599 That's another thing that I don't think that 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.180 the players realize or the viewers realize. These 00:02:07.180 --> 00:02:09.400 holes are... They're right next to each other. 00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:11.539 There's not like cart paths, you know, where 00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:15.740 you have to go through woods or swamps to kind 00:02:15.740 --> 00:02:19.000 of get to them. You know, I kind of think of 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.860 it like it's such a cool walkable golf course. 00:02:21.979 --> 00:02:24.860 I mean, it's very, very hilly. Yes. Everything's 00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:27.819 right next to each other. You know what it kind 00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:30.139 of reminds me of, and obviously in a much lower 00:02:30.139 --> 00:02:33.159 level, but when we went and played Palma Silla, 00:02:33.460 --> 00:02:35.500 you remember every time you got off the green, 00:02:35.620 --> 00:02:37.939 the tee box was really immediately right there 00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:40.840 next to you. Right there, yeah. It's definitely 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.879 that old time. It just brings you back to the 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.580 1920s, 1930s lore of golf where you had to carry 00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:50.379 your own bag, you had a four caddy with you, 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:55.580 and when you got off the tee, the green was right 00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:58.830 there. and vice versa. You're right there. To 00:02:58.830 --> 00:03:02.469 me, the other one is, I mean, obviously, in that 00:03:02.469 --> 00:03:05.509 corner, you can see all the stuff happening right 00:03:05.509 --> 00:03:07.189 in front of you. You're playing 11. You're coming 00:03:07.189 --> 00:03:09.969 down that fairway, and you see, you know, you 00:03:09.969 --> 00:03:12.330 can visualize, like, what was that, three or 00:03:12.330 --> 00:03:14.849 four years ago? Actually, five. Actually, seven 00:03:14.849 --> 00:03:17.289 years ago, I guess, when Tiger won. You know, 00:03:17.289 --> 00:03:23.729 when the two guys there, Finau and who was the 00:03:23.729 --> 00:03:26.379 other gentleman who dumped it in the water? The 00:03:26.379 --> 00:03:29.439 guy that won the British Open. Trying to think. 00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:33.379 Remember the guy's name, you know who I'm talking 00:03:33.379 --> 00:03:39.979 about? No, was it Lowry? No, it was Fino, and 00:03:39.979 --> 00:03:44.379 I'll come back to you. We'll circle back on that 00:03:44.379 --> 00:03:47.580 one for sure. But yeah, 2019, you know, when 00:03:47.580 --> 00:03:50.319 Tiger won, absolutely. When Tiger won, yeah, 00:03:50.379 --> 00:03:53.460 18, I think, right? 18? I can't remember either. 00:03:53.539 --> 00:03:57.539 No, it's funny. But the point being that you 00:03:57.539 --> 00:03:59.500 see all that happening in front of you because 00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:04.020 you can see the guys, you know, either dumping 00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:06.479 into the water or hitting it close and the crowd, 00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:09.280 the roar of the crowd, you know, when they hit 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.879 a good shot on. Yeah. You're playing number 14, 00:04:12.020 --> 00:04:15.319 which is a par four, and you see a great shot 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.120 coming on 13, the par five, and the crowd, you 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:20.259 know, kind of erupts because you're sitting there 00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:23.540 on 14 tee box. Mm -hmm. And you see all that 00:04:23.540 --> 00:04:25.000 happening right in front of you. So it's just 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.230 such a cool golf course in that respect. Well, 00:04:28.310 --> 00:04:30.509 you've got so many views too. I mean, I don't 00:04:30.509 --> 00:04:32.670 think that the audience has no idea about that, 00:04:32.689 --> 00:04:34.949 obviously, but you, you, you have so many little, 00:04:34.990 --> 00:04:36.889 you're on little Hills and you've got little 00:04:36.889 --> 00:04:39.290 views to other parts of the course. You're looking 00:04:39.290 --> 00:04:41.750 through these pines. I mean, it's, it's like 00:04:41.750 --> 00:04:43.769 being in a fairy land, to be honest with you. 00:04:43.790 --> 00:04:46.410 It's amazing. The little views and the sounds, 00:04:46.589 --> 00:04:48.689 I don't think people really realize the sounds 00:04:48.689 --> 00:04:51.250 that echo, you know, and I was there for the 00:04:51.250 --> 00:04:53.689 practice round. And I remember I was out in the 00:04:53.689 --> 00:04:57.819 parking lot and. I think somebody made something 00:04:57.819 --> 00:04:59.860 or something like that. And you just heard this, 00:04:59.860 --> 00:05:03.220 this billowing sound slowly start to build like 00:05:03.220 --> 00:05:05.620 a jet engine and it just crescendoed. And you're 00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:09.100 like, Holy cow. And you really do have the hair 00:05:09.100 --> 00:05:11.100 on your back of your neck stand up because it's 00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:13.800 a sound that for your first time person, you've 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.819 never heard something like that, especially on 00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:18.560 a golf course for God's sakes. Right. Right. 00:05:18.699 --> 00:05:22.639 Oh, absolutely. Yeah. And were you there on a 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:24.319 tournament day or were you there on a practice 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:26.920 day? I was there on a practice practice day. 00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:29.480 So I couldn't even imagine what it was like for 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.899 like a tournament. You know, when Tiger, you 00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:35.019 know, made that amazing putt on 17, I can only 00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:37.620 in the back of my mind, try to, you know, get 00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:39.860 a glimpse of what that sound was like. And I'm 00:05:39.860 --> 00:05:44.680 sure it was just all inspiring. So I've got to 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.139 correct myself. I'm making sure we autocorrect 00:05:47.139 --> 00:05:49.399 while we're doing this. So 2019, you are correct, 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.459 with Tiger winning. And Francisco Molinari was 00:05:53.459 --> 00:05:55.019 the guy I was thinking of because they were all 00:05:55.019 --> 00:06:00.300 paired up. Tiger, Tony Finau, and Molinari were 00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.160 all paired up in that same group. And that's 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.040 where Tiger hits it on the green on 12, and then 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:08.920 both those guys dump it in the water, and that 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.500 was essentially the end of there. Tournament. 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:13.920 Their tournament, you know, he goes on and he 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:17.259 birdies 15. And it's just, they've done, you 00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:19.319 know, over the years, they've changed the way 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.220 the course looks because they did tiger proof 00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:28.279 it. He was negative 13 in that year. And I believe, 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:29.959 I'm going to look that up while we're talking 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.240 here too, I think it was negative 18 in the 1997 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.560 year. Holy cow. Yeah. That's when the, like the, 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:39.680 you know, the kind of powers that be at Augusta 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.149 kind of got a little, Yeah, they were, they were, 00:06:44.149 --> 00:06:46.269 they were, I think Augusta got a little embarrassed 00:06:46.269 --> 00:06:50.230 by that. Uh, you know, um, you know, he, he definitely 00:06:50.230 --> 00:06:54.670 brought in a whole new generation of golf. And 00:06:54.670 --> 00:06:56.850 I think Augusta was definitely not prepared for 00:06:56.850 --> 00:06:58.790 that. And I think the next year after that, they, 00:06:58.850 --> 00:07:01.110 I think they kind of swung a little too hard. 00:07:01.410 --> 00:07:04.170 If you ask me, I think they, they, they, they 00:07:04.170 --> 00:07:07.829 try to make it too hard. And I just think. not 00:07:07.829 --> 00:07:10.810 that it tiger it tiger proof tiger to be honest 00:07:10.810 --> 00:07:12.970 with you but i think it took half the field that 00:07:12.970 --> 00:07:15.269 had a chance and threw them out for the next 00:07:15.269 --> 00:07:18.930 10 years or so if you know what i mean so if 00:07:18.930 --> 00:07:22.790 i read you from 1997 right there's a negative 00:07:22.790 --> 00:07:25.910 six and negative five you know minus four minus 00:07:25.910 --> 00:07:28.189 three minus three minus two minus two minus two 00:07:28.189 --> 00:07:30.149 minus two it was like six guys at minus two it's 00:07:30.149 --> 00:07:33.290 open now yeah so that that's that's the rest 00:07:33.290 --> 00:07:36.259 of the field and that was That was second place 00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:38.339 was Tom Kite, which is interesting because he's 00:07:38.339 --> 00:07:39.939 one of the shorter hitters, as you kind of remember, 00:07:40.060 --> 00:07:42.660 minus six. And then you had this guy named Tiger 00:07:42.660 --> 00:07:47.480 Woods at minus 18. You know, 12 shots in the 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.879 front. And he did that at the U .S. Open, too, 00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:52.120 when he played Pebble Beach, and he won by 15 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.839 shots or whatever. It's just playing a different 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.480 golf course, right, really. You see Tom Kite 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.680 shoot 69, 66, or 70 the last three rounds, and 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.240 he's doing pretty good, except Tiger shoots 68, 00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:16.019 65, 69. And to your point, it's fun to see some 00:08:16.019 --> 00:08:19.720 birdies. It's fun to see the – like you talked 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:24.279 about the sounds of the back nine there. Those 00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:28.939 roars at 16 when he chips in and the putt, even 00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:30.959 the putt, I mean, I'm going back some before 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:32.759 you were born, but the putt that Nicholas made 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.340 on 17 where you, you know, where you kind of 00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:39.419 see him in 1986, like that's such a signature 00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:42.279 moment for that, that golf tournament. Yeah. 00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:45.500 Yeah. So it's, it's, it's just such a great facility. 00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:47.399 Obviously, you know, you kind of always talk 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.399 about that if you ever can get there. More of 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.580 a museum than it is a golf course. It's so tricky 00:08:56.580 --> 00:08:59.379 in person. They were talking about that today. 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.440 Like, again, same thing. 15 handicap guy. What 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.200 does he shoot at Augusta right now? They don't 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.559 break 100. It's not even close. Oh, we're probably 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.559 not. I guarantee you we're not breaking 100 out 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.259 there. I'm shooting 97. I'm posting 97. I'm posting 00:09:15.259 --> 00:09:20.529 97. Um, yeah, I'm sure the, you know, when you 00:09:20.529 --> 00:09:23.190 look at those greens are quick, um, you know, 00:09:23.190 --> 00:09:25.870 the complex is always running fast out there. 00:09:26.110 --> 00:09:30.250 Um, but. You know, one thing you will always 00:09:30.250 --> 00:09:33.269 see at Augusta is it always looks like it's just 00:09:33.269 --> 00:09:35.730 perfect. And, and, and you go there and you, 00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:38.529 and you have a responsibility, you feel a responsibility 00:09:38.529 --> 00:09:41.169 to keep it as perfect as you can. If you know 00:09:41.169 --> 00:09:42.909 what I mean, it's like being at a guest house 00:09:42.909 --> 00:09:44.769 and you're like, I don't want to mess anything 00:09:44.769 --> 00:09:47.029 up because there's nothing out of place. Even 00:09:47.029 --> 00:09:49.370 when you look at the drain cauldron, it's just 00:09:49.370 --> 00:09:51.590 perfect, dude. I mean, you're looking at something, 00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:53.970 it's shiny, it's beautiful. And you're like, 00:09:53.990 --> 00:09:57.049 God, they put even the time into, to that little. 00:09:57.129 --> 00:09:59.909 detail which is amazing yeah now they've got 00:09:59.909 --> 00:10:03.049 the uh they've got the guy the superintendent's 00:10:03.049 --> 00:10:06.389 crew out there with the scissors around the bunkers 00:10:06.389 --> 00:10:08.250 right because they're that's how they're kind 00:10:08.250 --> 00:10:10.850 of manicuring the bunker grass which is amazing 00:10:10.850 --> 00:10:14.669 just the edges everything about it like you said 00:10:14.669 --> 00:10:17.980 i was there but whatever it was 10 years ago 00:10:17.980 --> 00:10:20.860 Steve Bozeman our buddy and it was walking around 00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:23.779 with me and we got you're on hole number three 00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:26.740 four so three is the par four it's kind of like 00:10:26.740 --> 00:10:29.039 a shorter hole sometimes it's a birdie opportunity 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:32.000 for these guys it's really strategic hole you'll 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.179 see some guys hit iron off the tee versus some 00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:36.840 guys will kind of hit the three wood maybe driver 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.419 because it's all about like the second shot going 00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:42.860 into the hole yeah and then that green is such 00:10:42.860 --> 00:10:45.299 a slopey front to back you know you got to be 00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:48.340 on the you know short of it ideally um short 00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:52.919 of the hole um and then four is a par three that 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.940 can play up to 230 as far as distance over a 00:10:56.940 --> 00:10:59.700 bunker and the green again kind of get that little 00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:03.059 like a peanut shape you know to the right basically 00:11:03.059 --> 00:11:06.480 um so we're on we're kind of on three green we're 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:07.899 just kind of watching what they're doing end 00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:10.940 of the day and you see these you know you see 00:11:10.940 --> 00:11:14.610 these john deere mowers tractors coming out It 00:11:14.610 --> 00:11:16.269 might have been Toro, actually. I think they're 00:11:16.269 --> 00:11:18.330 a Toro facility. For some reason, that sticks 00:11:18.330 --> 00:11:20.409 in my head. But you see them coming out of the, 00:11:20.509 --> 00:11:22.730 you know, whatever, out of the woods, must be 00:11:22.730 --> 00:11:24.289 kind of near the maintenance department, I guess. 00:11:24.970 --> 00:11:27.629 And you see them in line, like they're staggered, 00:11:27.629 --> 00:11:29.230 right, like three or four of them, and they're 00:11:29.230 --> 00:11:31.809 just going down number three fairway, and they're 00:11:31.809 --> 00:11:33.909 going to cut the fairway in a staggered motion 00:11:33.909 --> 00:11:39.549 just to create that cut, the way that the grass 00:11:39.549 --> 00:11:43.039 is manicured. It's just... And Steve went down 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.059 to like run after them. He got kind of, you know, 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.379 admonished by one of the one of the volunteers. 00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:50.340 Hey, there's no running here at Augusta. And 00:11:50.340 --> 00:11:51.620 he's like, oh, I know. I'm sorry. I just want 00:11:51.620 --> 00:11:54.360 to take a picture. And it's just such a it's 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.600 such a unique facility. You're right. Absolutely. 00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.120 I mean, you know, it's it's world it's first 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.960 class, world class all the way around, you know, 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:07.830 even even down to like. The restrooms, they have 00:12:07.830 --> 00:12:12.389 you in, they have you out. The food is, I mean, 00:12:12.409 --> 00:12:15.769 I think I got a sandwich, a drink, a souvenir 00:12:15.769 --> 00:12:21.750 cup, some kind of like cozy thing. And one other 00:12:21.750 --> 00:12:23.389 little thing, and I think it came up to $10. 00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:27.320 Yeah. And I'm like, where is this out in the 00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.500 world? I wish these prices were out in the world, 00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:33.000 but yeah, it's, it's amazing. It's out. And then 00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:35.360 the, you know, the driving range itself is, is 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.299 first class. You could sit there all day and 00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:40.500 watch those guys and just hitting balls on the 00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:42.480 range on that beautiful driving range as it is. 00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.279 And that's, that's a newer range too. Meaning 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.259 like when I first got there in 03, 04, that wasn't 00:12:48.259 --> 00:12:50.320 the range. The range was in a different area. 00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:52.690 You kind of. Came in from Washington Street. 00:12:52.809 --> 00:12:56.090 He didn't come down from Beckman's Road. So that's 00:12:56.090 --> 00:12:58.850 a pretty new facility. Probably about 10 to 12 00:12:58.850 --> 00:13:01.730 years, I'd say, maybe. It's 2025. So yeah, probably 00:13:01.730 --> 00:13:05.110 around 2010, I think they put that in and really 00:13:05.110 --> 00:13:07.450 changed even the entrance to how you walk in. 00:13:08.330 --> 00:13:11.409 I still love, even again, for some of the listeners 00:13:11.409 --> 00:13:14.049 who maybe have gotten there, when you walk, you 00:13:14.049 --> 00:13:16.110 know, you kind of walk in through the entry gate 00:13:16.110 --> 00:13:18.309 and then you kind of get into the... clubhouse 00:13:18.309 --> 00:13:20.649 is sort of on the left and the pro shop is sort 00:13:20.649 --> 00:13:22.929 of on the right where you buy all your product 00:13:22.929 --> 00:13:25.230 but then you kind of come up to that little rise 00:13:25.230 --> 00:13:27.710 and then you see number one and like you said 00:13:27.710 --> 00:13:31.570 you see kind of one nine uh you see everything 00:13:31.570 --> 00:13:35.210 kind of going down towards almost like 16 15 00:13:35.210 --> 00:13:37.409 that area but it's you're at the top of the hill 00:13:37.409 --> 00:13:41.860 yep and uh you see i guess you see one two maybe 00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:43.820 eight might be the next hole you see that's a 00:13:43.820 --> 00:13:46.440 par five uh seven so it's just kind of all going 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:49.720 down but i just put my head in that that alistair 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:54.159 mckenzie bobby jones world of 1934 was the first 00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.139 time that they played the tournament so you know 00:13:56.139 --> 00:13:58.539 whatever that is early 30s when they're kind 00:13:58.539 --> 00:14:01.919 of building this course and you know just the 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.659 vision just the vision and the ability to see 00:14:04.659 --> 00:14:07.840 that yeah you know and and it's it's amazing 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.490 because i think you know both Bobby Jones and 00:14:10.490 --> 00:14:12.750 Alistair McKenzie, both when they got on the 00:14:12.750 --> 00:14:15.429 property, I, I think they did some moving around, 00:14:15.549 --> 00:14:18.289 but I really think that it's really, as Bobby 00:14:18.289 --> 00:14:20.850 Jones said, that that place was set there divine 00:14:20.850 --> 00:14:23.570 by God to have a golf course there. I mean, it 00:14:23.570 --> 00:14:26.870 really is. It really does. When you look at the 00:14:26.870 --> 00:14:28.769 holes, I mean, it, you know, I'm sure they did 00:14:28.769 --> 00:14:31.110 some jostling and moving around, but I mean, 00:14:31.129 --> 00:14:34.289 it really does set up pretty well for a, a golf 00:14:34.289 --> 00:14:37.580 course. Absolutely. Amazing. Yeah. Yeah, and 00:14:37.580 --> 00:14:40.259 another signature of the course, and it's funny, 00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:42.620 some of these guys, they kind of outdrive this 00:14:42.620 --> 00:14:44.919 part of the characteristic of the golf course 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.600 now, but you do see that on certain holes, 7 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:50.679 and 14. Those are two par 4s, not really kind 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.139 of talked about too much. 17 actually has some 00:14:53.139 --> 00:14:55.500 of this component, too. Those are all, they're 00:14:55.500 --> 00:14:57.879 three par 4s. They actually all face the same 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:00.610 way. I mean, they're all going from one side 00:15:00.610 --> 00:15:03.009 of the course to the other. But all of the holes 00:15:03.009 --> 00:15:06.309 are slight little dogleg lefts, and the fairways 00:15:06.309 --> 00:15:09.389 all have slight to the right components to them. 00:15:09.470 --> 00:15:12.090 So it works against the way that you're trying 00:15:12.090 --> 00:15:15.149 to shape the shot. And like I said, now these 00:15:15.149 --> 00:15:17.210 guys just kind of bomb it over the trees and 00:15:17.210 --> 00:15:20.090 pass as an Eisenhower tree out there, and that's 00:15:20.090 --> 00:15:22.940 not even considered anymore type of thing. But, 00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:25.279 you know, and then all three of those greens, 00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:28.720 7, 14, and 17, they're all different green complexes. 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:32.279 And, again, 7 is one of the hardest, like, stroke 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.519 over average holes that you'll see out there 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.840 just because the green is so kind of tricky. 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.799 You can, you know, depending on the pin position 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.460 where they put it, you can kind of get the one 00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:45.639 on, I think, Saturday where it does kind of funnel 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.879 down to the right and you can kind of hit it 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:52.559 off the backboard. I guess the best way to say 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.580 it, T -Mac, is you don't aim at the hole very 00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:57.519 often out there. You really aim at different 00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.460 parts of the green or different parts of the 00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:02.220 fairway to make the ball end up going wherever 00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:03.919 you want it to be. Well, I think you bring up 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.259 a great point is that, you know, the imagination 00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:09.879 that Bobby Jones wanted to bring to the game. 00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:12.740 And that was one of them is that if you want 00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:14.840 to get it close to the hole, you've got to, you 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:16.379 know, it's almost like playing snooker. I've 00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:18.919 got to send it up against that backboard over 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.139 there and bring it down. Um, you know, now with 00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:23.960 the new wedges, kind of the guys kind of take 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.460 that out a little bit, but you really kind of 00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:30.139 had to, you know, use angles and, and, and imagination 00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:32.940 to get the ball to really where you want it to. 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.820 And even when you're out there in the fairway, 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.059 you've got to think about, you know, not just 00:16:37.059 --> 00:16:39.899 your distance, but what are, what's my feet going 00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:41.600 to be like, you know, am I going to be uphill 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.220 downhill? You know, how does that go into the 00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:47.159 green? And there's so much thinking that you 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:50.799 have to do. Um, just with, with your setup alone 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.399 in, in the angles, um, that, that you, you really, 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.259 I'm sure it's just an absolute mind test, you 00:16:57.259 --> 00:17:00.419 know, even from hole to hole. Yeah, it's, uh, 00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.759 it, it is, it's, it's a great, you know, it's, 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.960 it's. it's a start. It's funny again, being up 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.440 here and now for the fall winter in Boston and 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.440 kind of the whole like anticipation of spring 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.599 people getting excited. We've had two good days 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.940 in the past two weeks. The other 12 days are 00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:20.779 like today, which it's 38 degrees and it's sunny, 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.319 but we wouldn't be playing cause it's too windy. 00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:27.099 But you know, last Friday was 67 and we played, 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.740 but it is that passage of, of spring and whatever 00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:32.319 you want to call it. It's the first tournament's 00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:35.160 first major. Yeah. You know, it's a different 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:37.720 feel than when you're in Florida because it's 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.240 so nice all the time, realistically, down there. 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:44.180 So you do kind of get a different feel being 00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:46.799 up here with the excitement, the anticipation 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.779 of the tournament coming up. Yeah. It's almost 00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:53.460 like hopeful, we'll call it. So, you know, that's 00:17:53.460 --> 00:17:56.809 if you think you can play it. Well, it definitely 00:17:56.809 --> 00:17:58.730 has the start of that new year for you guys, 00:17:58.789 --> 00:18:00.809 right? I mean, you know, everything's cranking 00:18:00.809 --> 00:18:03.869 on up. The grass is green. The birds are singing. 00:18:04.009 --> 00:18:06.869 It's been cold and gray long enough. And now 00:18:06.869 --> 00:18:08.750 we're going to get to watch Augusta. So, yeah, 00:18:08.829 --> 00:18:12.450 I get that. That's for sure. Yeah. Did you happen 00:18:12.450 --> 00:18:14.349 to go out on the whole number five out there 00:18:14.349 --> 00:18:19.029 at Augusta? I was on all of them. I tracked all 00:18:19.029 --> 00:18:21.190 of them. Yes, sir. So I was on number five for 00:18:21.190 --> 00:18:25.670 sure. Yes. I always get that. long par 4. They 00:18:25.670 --> 00:18:28.029 backed that thing up a little bit since Tiger 00:18:28.029 --> 00:18:31.450 won it. It's got two massive bunkers left. There's 00:18:31.450 --> 00:18:34.690 another one. The hole works left and you've got 00:18:34.690 --> 00:18:37.130 to make sure you hit it right of these bunkers. 00:18:37.390 --> 00:18:42.029 That green is arguably the most diabolical kind 00:18:42.029 --> 00:18:45.029 of green that's out there. It just doesn't get 00:18:45.029 --> 00:18:47.529 viewed again enough because you've got to see 00:18:47.529 --> 00:18:50.420 the early golf channel. you know, coverage of 00:18:50.420 --> 00:18:52.119 it to kind of see what it's doing. But it's, 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.279 it's so tricky, so tricky. And you're hitting, 00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:56.359 I mean, me and you were hitting hybrids into 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.400 it, maybe seven woods for me. And these guys 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.599 are hitting still, they're hitting six irons 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:04.480 and seven irons, which means it's still a 190 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.579 to 200 yard shot. And it's, it's, there's just 00:19:08.579 --> 00:19:10.839 some holes out there that you just, you make 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:12.940 par and you walk away because you know that you 00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:15.619 got some par fives coming up. You know, you got 00:19:15.619 --> 00:19:17.579 a couple, maybe par threes that you can kind 00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:21.480 of get to. get close to but a lot of those par 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.539 fours are really just let me let me make my four 00:19:24.539 --> 00:19:26.900 number one number one let me make my four let 00:19:26.900 --> 00:19:29.980 me start well yes yes just hold on to the par 00:19:29.980 --> 00:19:33.500 fours if you can they really are tough and you 00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:35.880 know true coming back to the bunker you could 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.230 actually you could probably I would be able to 00:19:39.230 --> 00:19:41.369 stand in that bunker and probably raise my club 00:19:41.369 --> 00:19:43.910 up and it would probably just get to the top 00:19:43.910 --> 00:19:46.529 of the ridge. You would probably, you know, you'd 00:19:46.529 --> 00:19:49.069 stand up and more than half of your club would 00:19:49.069 --> 00:19:51.190 be up over that thing. But I mean, you could 00:19:51.190 --> 00:19:54.289 really, you could hide a VW bug in one of those 00:19:54.289 --> 00:19:56.630 things if you wanted. It really is deep. I mean, 00:19:56.650 --> 00:19:58.170 if you got in one of those, you're pitching out 00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:01.210 sideways. Yep. Yep. Absolutely. And that's those 00:20:01.210 --> 00:20:03.289 couple of ferry bunkers or greenside bunkers 00:20:03.289 --> 00:20:06.500 up on five that are. The greenside bunker on 00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:08.559 four looks challenging. There's just so much 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.420 good character to it. It is because we know it. 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.079 It's because the U .S. Open travels every year, 00:20:14.140 --> 00:20:15.819 so you don't pay attention. You don't know the 00:20:15.819 --> 00:20:18.279 courses as much as the British Open. Yeah, we 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.839 all kind of know St. Andrews, and that's probably 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:25.640 it on that rotation. That's about it. Yeah, PGA 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.000 Championship, different year. So this is the 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.799 one constant in sort of the calendar year, the 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.589 beginning of the golf season. The hope and the 00:20:34.589 --> 00:20:37.150 excitement, all that stuff. So, yeah, it's a 00:20:37.150 --> 00:20:40.309 really, really pretty exciting time. Do you have 00:20:40.309 --> 00:20:41.809 any picks? Do you have anybody that you're kind 00:20:41.809 --> 00:20:45.589 of tracking? Yeah, so my picks for this year, 00:20:45.690 --> 00:20:47.589 I'm going with Scotty Scheffler. He's trending 00:20:47.589 --> 00:20:49.670 in the right direction. I think he's going to 00:20:49.670 --> 00:20:52.210 get over this hand thing. My second pick would 00:20:52.210 --> 00:20:54.789 definitely be Rory. He is coming off a very strong 00:20:54.789 --> 00:20:58.029 win with the players. I think he's a good pick 00:20:58.029 --> 00:21:01.769 right there. And I would say my dark horse would 00:21:01.769 --> 00:21:05.799 be Terrell Hatton. okay yeah he's always strong 00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:08.279 he's very like competitively strong mental guy 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:10.640 yeah he's a fiery kind of guy he reminds me of 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.980 myself out there on the course you know always 00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:15.779 mumbling and babbling to himself about you know 00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:17.779 things that really shouldn't be mattering but 00:21:17.779 --> 00:21:20.440 you know there i am that's good that's it how 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.759 about yourself I'm probably going to go with, 00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:26.380 I think Morikawa's got a good chance. I think 00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:28.960 he's one of the best ball strikers. Yeah, he's, 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:31.619 I guess, you know, T. Green currently, I think 00:21:31.619 --> 00:21:34.079 he's the leader on tour, which is still important 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:35.960 out there. He's not as long as some of the other 00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:39.410 guys, but of course. you know, you can, you don't, 00:21:39.410 --> 00:21:42.630 you, you length is good, but kind of preciseness 00:21:42.630 --> 00:21:45.630 is more important. Correct. Um, so that's, that's 00:21:45.630 --> 00:21:48.609 always a good one. I like the Ludwig Aberg. Yes. 00:21:49.009 --> 00:21:51.690 Yeah. Uh, we just, he's just got such a solid 00:21:51.690 --> 00:21:54.289 golf swing. He's, you know, had a win earlier 00:21:54.289 --> 00:21:57.490 this year. And so kind of those two, and then, 00:21:57.529 --> 00:21:59.769 you know, we'll see what Bryson does. I think 00:21:59.769 --> 00:22:02.069 Bryson's, it's just funny that you don't pay 00:22:02.069 --> 00:22:04.900 attention to the live tour guys. Right. Cause 00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:07.000 we don't see them. So you kind of forget about 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.059 Kepka Bryson. And yeah, it's just, I mean, to 00:22:11.059 --> 00:22:12.599 be honest with you now that they're, they're 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:16.019 charging 60 bucks to watch it. And I just, I 00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:18.359 just wait for the YouTube video to watch it and 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.160 I watch it that way, but you're right. It's sad 00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:22.619 because you've got all these players that you 00:22:22.619 --> 00:22:24.819 want to see and they just come to, you get to 00:22:24.819 --> 00:22:26.640 see them only in the, in the four majors nowadays. 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.859 So it's tough to really say, Hey, how is Bryson 00:22:29.859 --> 00:22:31.599 in shape? But I think he's coming around pretty 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:35.099 good. Right. Absolutely. Yeah. You've been able 00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:36.420 to get out and play at all. You got anything 00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:38.160 you're working on in your golf swing right now? 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:42.440 Got out and played yesterday, working on the 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.859 short game, working on chipping. I've been listening 00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:48.619 to a gentleman by the name of Dan Graves. He's 00:22:48.619 --> 00:22:51.220 a short game guy. If you guys happen to check 00:22:51.220 --> 00:22:53.240 him out, but I've been using his technique for 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:57.269 chipping and pitching. Um, and really, really 00:22:57.269 --> 00:22:59.970 seeing some really good results. So if you guys 00:22:59.970 --> 00:23:02.089 have a chance, I think he's, uh, he's got a book 00:23:02.089 --> 00:23:05.049 out called the three releases, uh, of the wedge. 00:23:05.210 --> 00:23:07.970 Uh, so if you guys get a chance, listen to him, 00:23:08.049 --> 00:23:09.990 I think, and he's also got some YouTube videos, 00:23:10.089 --> 00:23:13.009 which are absolutely amazing. Uh, so that's what 00:23:13.009 --> 00:23:14.890 I'm really working on. Everything else is kind 00:23:14.890 --> 00:23:16.789 of coming in place, but you gotta have a decent 00:23:16.789 --> 00:23:19.750 short game to score. How about yourself? What 00:23:19.750 --> 00:23:21.890 you working on big guy? Yeah, we went and hit 00:23:21.890 --> 00:23:24.579 some balls on Monday and that. you know, 43 degree 00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:26.740 weather with the heater behind us type of stuff. 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.339 And same, same story. We're just going to keep, 00:23:29.380 --> 00:23:31.299 keep the boat, keep the movement going. But, 00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:34.400 uh, we're filming each other. And I got Scott 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:36.339 out there with me and, you know, just watching 00:23:36.339 --> 00:23:39.559 him repeat his golf swing and hitting, you know, 00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:41.019 he's like, I'm going to aim at that pole out 00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:42.740 there with the driver. And he hits the pole, 00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:45.660 you know, four out of five times, you know, it's 00:23:45.660 --> 00:23:47.839 two 60. It's not too 80. Like it used to be, 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:50.869 but we're looking at. golf swing video and i'm 00:23:50.869 --> 00:23:52.950 like i hit seven irons and i'm hitting seven 00:23:52.950 --> 00:23:57.170 irons to the one 165 kind of 160 165 marker and 00:23:57.170 --> 00:23:59.809 they're good they're you know good little consistent 00:23:59.809 --> 00:24:03.089 pattern but the downswing i'm not making a good 00:24:03.089 --> 00:24:05.250 follow through my right foot's not off the ground 00:24:05.250 --> 00:24:07.289 it's like all the things i teach and talk about 00:24:07.289 --> 00:24:10.250 like hey get get shifted get your transfer yeah 00:24:10.250 --> 00:24:12.730 but then at some point the ball is going 160 00:24:12.730 --> 00:24:15.230 165 to the target you're trying to hit out you're 00:24:15.230 --> 00:24:18.529 like Yeah, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, 00:24:18.609 --> 00:24:20.329 right? I mean, there's more than one way to skin 00:24:20.329 --> 00:24:23.549 a cat. We are who we are. We don't get a chance 00:24:23.549 --> 00:24:25.769 to play as much or hit balls as much as we would 00:24:25.769 --> 00:24:29.029 like to. So for us, or at least for me right 00:24:29.029 --> 00:24:31.410 now, and for you with your little ones, you know, 00:24:31.410 --> 00:24:33.990 it's like, hey, let me try to get out there and 00:24:33.990 --> 00:24:37.849 break 80, feel good about it, you know, make 00:24:37.849 --> 00:24:40.890 a couple putts, maybe get under 77. And right 00:24:40.890 --> 00:24:43.089 now that's who we are. So keep working at it 00:24:43.089 --> 00:24:46.460 always. But the last. Last stat I'll give you. 00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.059 I heard this one, Scott, actually. We were talking 00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:51.839 about this one this morning. The number of range 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:54.680 balls that Bryson hit yesterday. That was kind 00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:57.259 of the stat. And then we know who the second 00:24:57.259 --> 00:24:59.440 guy is, too. So kind of give me what your ballpark 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.019 is you think that Bryson went out there and hit 00:25:02.019 --> 00:25:04.359 range balls with yesterday. I'm going to say 00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:12.150 he hit 22 shots. 22 shots? 22 shots. He hit 493 00:25:12.150 --> 00:25:15.210 range balls yesterday. Holy cow. Okay. I was 00:25:15.210 --> 00:25:17.089 way off. I thought he was just like working on 00:25:17.089 --> 00:25:22.910 a few things. Okay. No. 493. Holy cow. I mean, 00:25:22.950 --> 00:25:27.150 I'd be dead. Yeah. Max Homo was second. He was 00:25:27.150 --> 00:25:30.309 at like 290, which is kind of the point is a 00:25:30.309 --> 00:25:32.730 little bit like, you know, these guys work at 00:25:32.730 --> 00:25:35.009 it, T -Mac. We talk about it almost every podcast. 00:25:35.089 --> 00:25:37.910 Like you can't just expect to think about it 00:25:37.910 --> 00:25:40.799 and be good. they are top of their level best 00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:43.500 players in the world. And they're hitting two 00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:46.660 to three to 400 golf shots in a practice session 00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:50.740 two days before the event. So, wow. That's, that's 00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:52.420 a, that's a lot of work that they're putting 00:25:52.420 --> 00:25:54.420 in before the tournament and, and, you know, 00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:56.900 just the routine. I mean, you just, the dedication, 00:25:56.980 --> 00:26:00.900 I mean, you gotta be dedicated for. God, that's 00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:03.460 gotta be a two, three hour process. I would think 00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:06.460 so. Absolutely. You know, hitting balls, analyzing, 00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:11.079 thinking, talking, you know, wow. That's the 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:13.400 quad next to you. Track man, something next to 00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:15.980 you that you're looking at each number and trying 00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:18.079 to improve on it. No, it's, it's, and it's that 00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.940 1 % better that they talk about. Just get 1 % 00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:24.119 better. And that's, that's amazing. So, yeah. 00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:27.480 So last thing before we break, what would be 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.599 the tip of the day for some of our students? 00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:32.480 What would be a tip of the day that you would 00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:36.039 say? I'm a big fan. I'm going to say for this 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.359 one, I'm going to say I keep seeing in my in 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:40.759 my students that we work with. You got to keep 00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:44.079 your arms extended a long way on both sides of 00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.839 the swing. I think that people really kind of 00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:49.539 get used to get at that habit at the bottom of 00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:52.339 the swing of the impact there. They're trying 00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:54.740 to. you know you always hear kind of release 00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:57.660 the face or make the club face close but you 00:26:57.660 --> 00:27:01.039 do that you do that with your body and your arms 00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.460 are really they're set up at the beginning for 00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:05.220 a reason where they're extended away from your 00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:08.480 body and You make your rotation with your stomach 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:10.799 turns to the right, your arms are staying in 00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:13.779 that same triangular fashion. You don't want 00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:15.720 your right elbow to come close to your body in 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:17.700 your backswing, yet you want it to come close 00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:20.200 to your body on your downswing. But you've got 00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.599 to get – and watch these guys. Watch these guys 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:25.460 hit driver this week. They are not – there's 00:27:25.460 --> 00:27:28.869 just so much width in their backswings. follow 00:27:28.869 --> 00:27:31.650 -throughs are always wide and long and finishing 00:27:31.650 --> 00:27:34.930 towards the target type of stuff and the hinge 00:27:34.930 --> 00:27:37.309 and the whole you know the hinge and kind of 00:27:37.309 --> 00:27:40.269 the fold of the hands on both sides it happens 00:27:40.269 --> 00:27:43.329 later it happens later than you think and i think 00:27:43.329 --> 00:27:45.289 that's a good one for people to kind of if you 00:27:45.289 --> 00:27:47.750 want some more length in your in your distances 00:27:47.750 --> 00:27:51.250 then you need to keep the club head essentially 00:27:51.250 --> 00:27:53.470 further away from the center part of your body 00:27:53.470 --> 00:27:56.839 yeah for a longer time. Absolutely. Well put 00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:58.700 right there. And, and something I have always 00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:01.200 taken away from, you know, watching you do lessons, 00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:04.380 you've always reiterated the point to your, to 00:28:04.380 --> 00:28:06.539 your students to maintain their structure out 00:28:06.539 --> 00:28:09.559 in front of them. So I've always taken that to 00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:11.940 heart and that, that really does matter. You 00:28:11.940 --> 00:28:13.920 know, you need to keep that width as you're talking 00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:16.680 about throughout your swing. Yeah. What's your, 00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:18.920 what's your short game. So give us a little insight 00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:21.759 into the graves thing. Like what's, what's something 00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:24.160 you're working on with the short game. type of 00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:26.220 thing right now? Uh, the big thing I'm working 00:28:26.220 --> 00:28:28.440 on the short game is that I've really, the big 00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:31.460 improvement I have taken is taking my grip from 00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:37.829 being a little too strong and really it really 00:28:37.829 --> 00:28:41.670 enables me to get the toe up a little bit and 00:28:41.670 --> 00:28:43.869 to be able to expose more of the bounce to get 00:28:43.869 --> 00:28:46.650 under it. Um, where I start to get too much of 00:28:46.650 --> 00:28:49.430 a strong grip, I start to get a little bit too 00:28:49.430 --> 00:28:51.569 much of a wrist hinge, and then I'm leading with 00:28:51.569 --> 00:28:54.630 the leading edge too much. Uh, and that's gouging 00:28:54.630 --> 00:28:58.490 the thing. So, and that, that, you know, you'd 00:28:58.490 --> 00:29:00.609 say, Oh, that's kind of an easy change, but something 00:29:00.609 --> 00:29:02.950 I've done for 40 years now, you know, you got 00:29:02.950 --> 00:29:05.329 to kind of think about those things. So that's 00:29:05.329 --> 00:29:07.880 what I'm working on right now. Love it. Love 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.259 it. The point is always working on something, 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.519 both of us. And you guys do that out there too. 00:29:12.619 --> 00:29:15.920 And enjoy watching this amazing event that happens 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.140 every year. And we'll catch up next week. All 00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:19.319 right.
