03:35
golf course there's so many like hidden
03:36
little things of water and in every
03:39
water hazard there's like alligators as
03:41
well so right it was just it was it was
03:46
not fun fun factor zero so but it was
03:48
still cool to hang out with us guys
03:50
around yeah it can get hot down it today
03:54
we had a heat index I think they said it
03:56
it felt like a hundred and like six or a
03:58
hundred and eight degrees here today wow
04:01
they're just the humidity crazy yeah I
04:04
don't I don't do you deal with the heat
04:05
real well either we had yeah like one
04:11
time I went night when I first did the
04:13
channel like I saw that there's a 250
04:15
dollar golf course that you could play
04:17
for like forty five dollars out in Palm
04:19
Springs because it was like like July
04:22
4th there's something in your life if
04:24
you know so I went out there and I
04:26
played it but it was like 116 degrees
04:29
when we play it and it was brutal so I
04:33
ended up getting myself really sick like
04:36
I got dehydrated and and got like an
04:38
infection and and got like really really
04:40
sick for like for like three months or
04:43
something so just from getting
04:46
dehydrated so I'm always careful about
04:50
the he'd like that mmm right Ian said
04:55
Gators don't faze him but losing that
04:57
many balls would not be fun I hear you
04:59
Rob I know you're waiting for global
05:01
domination you're gonna have to wait a
05:02

08:13
what 9 they go out once every couple

pretty avid golfers I'm very passionate
09:00
about golf myself hence I would have
09:02
started a golf glove business I'm a
09:05
single-digit handicap so I've watched
09:08
tons of Brendon's YouTube videos and
09:12

10:06
lot of not
10:06
to us all here today so with that being
10:11
said let's go ahead and get started into
10:14
the meat and potatoes of everything so
10:18
Brennan real quick you you are honestly
10:21
when I say this I'm being like you know
10:23
I don't personally know you all that
10:25
well but just watching your videos and
10:27
just realizing like this guy is
10:30
travelling videotaping and you've done
10:33
it for years like where did you you're
10:37
probably the most passionate person I've
10:39
seen about golf where where did that
10:43
passion begin well I didn't I played
10:47
golf like I took a series of three
10:49
lessons when I was 16 but like it didn't
10:52
catch like at all like I went to was an
10:55
indoor place and and I took the lessons
10:57
and and it just like like didn't do
11:00
anything for me I played baseball in
11:02
high school and and done some other
11:05
sports but like golf really was like
11:08
almost like a nothing to me like I
11:09
didn't think about it at all my brother
11:11
was a caddie at Philadelphia Cricket
11:14
Club and he was big into it so that was
11:17
like that was like his thing and but I I
11:19
really I had never even played on the
11:21
golf course I took those that series of
11:23
three lessons which actually at 16 Oh
11:26
and I think later on that ended up
11:28
helping me like having that little bit
11:30
of like you know grip stance super basic
11:34
things but I totally forgot about golf
11:37
completely and then I went to college
11:39
and then I moved out here from
11:40
Philadelphia to California to try to get
11:43
a job in like the film and TV business
11:45
and wet while I was first out here I had
11:49
like I had nothing going on like nothing
11:52
at all like I would there was nobody
11:54
looking for whatever skills I was
11:56
bringing which were like very little
11:58
anyway so um so I was spending all day
12:01
just waiting for people to return my
12:04
calls about jobs or whatever you know
12:06
and and this is like you know for like a
12:08
year I was just like you know just wait
12:10
trying to get a job trying to get my
12:12
foot in the door at a place so I ended
12:15
up to kill time I used to go over to the
12:20
there was
12:20
golf course near where I was living in
12:22
Arcadia and I would just my roommate or
12:26
a guy that it used to live where I was
12:28
living had left a putter and like a
12:31
wedge so I used to go over there and
12:32
just putt because you could putt and
12:34
chip around there for free so I would
12:37
just you know just in doing that and
12:40
killing it try it like killing time
12:42
doing that like all the sudden like
12:43
before I knew it like I got like really
12:45
really like badly hooked on golf like
12:49
real like really intensely and just yeah
12:54
just from trip it just from chipping and
12:56
putty and then if it got late in the day
12:57
like you could like you could like
12:59
scrape some balls back and then like you
13:01
know you'd whack those or whatever but
13:03
uh yeah that was it and then my brother
13:06
who the one who would he wanted me to
13:09
get he wanted me to become like a golf
13:12
addict so that he'd have somebody to
13:14
play with he lives in Virginia so my
13:16
brother sent me a hundred dollars in any
13:18
said like hey you can only use this on
13:19
golf so I went out and played like like
13:22
four times or something with that
13:23
hundred dollars and by the end of it I
13:25
was just like super into it so then so
13:29
then I kept pretty close to the time
13:33
that I first started playing golf this
13:35
is when when I was like 23 or 24 I made
13:40
a deal with some guys that I had met at
13:42
the golf show to where I would make some
13:46
video commercials for their business it
13:49
was like an indoor golf teaching
13:51
business so I would make some
13:52
commercials for them and in return they
13:54
would give me some some lessons and they
13:56
would let me practice at their spot this
13:58
is a place pub yeah so which is the
14:00
place called golf excellence and and the
14:03
same thing was going on like then like I
14:05
actually I had some like TV jobs or
14:07
whatever but like when you work in TV
14:08
then now - it's like you work like solid
14:12
for like two weeks and then you might
14:13
not work for like a month you know and
14:15
so so then I would so when they gave it
14:20
like I don't know if they realized when
14:22
they made this deal that I would be
14:23
allowed to practice there that I would
14:24
basically be there like constantly so um
14:27
I was I was there for like literally
14:30
like five six hours a day like all the
14:32
time like
14:34
when it opened and and and it was one of
14:36
those systems I really liked and I think
14:37
this is a great way for people who are
14:38
first first learning off where you would
14:41
you would hit the ball and then you'd
14:42
look back and you'd see your swing
14:43
replayed like again right away
14:45
kind of like golf tech has now but a
14:47
little different and then so then and
14:50
they were giving me lessons too so I got
14:52
kind of off to a pretty quick start with
14:54
with golf where I was getting a pretty
14:57
good foundation and then that's really
15:01
how it began I was really just bitten by
15:04
the goth bug pretty bad so it was
15:07
basically after you moved out to
15:08
California after college you you kind of
15:13
started getting into it so really wasn't
15:15
after after college yeah yeah and people
15:18
always like I think there's a huge
15:20
difference between how you have to learn
15:21
golf for the type of person who learn
15:24
golf basically like the dividing point
15:25
is like puberty
15:26
so if you tried to learn golf before
15:29
before puberty yeah that's like a
15:32
totally different way to learn golf then
15:34
you should after because when you're
15:37
learning how to ride a bike and you're
15:38
learning how to use a pencil and you're
15:40
learning how to do all you know to
15:43
tennis for the first time do all these
15:45
different things for the first time
15:46
you're also learning golf for the first
15:47
time like your brains like ready for
15:49
that you know but if you're trying to
15:51
learn it it like I did like it 24 years
15:53
old or even at like 17 or 18 years old
15:57
for the first time that's totally
15:59
different and the thing about golf is
16:01
that if you look at golf is taught not I
16:05
would say like 95 percent of the people
16:07
who teach goff are people who learned
16:10
like 12 years old or younger and 95% of
16:15
the people who take golf lessons are
16:17
people who first took up golf 12 years
16:20
old or older you know but they're to me
16:23
very different ways to to that you have
16:26
to go about it and I've always been
16:28
fascinated by golfers who did learn at a
16:32
late age late like weiyang or Larry
16:36
Nelson weiyang learned supposedly at
16:39
like 22 or something I don't know if
16:41
that's true but he was like he was like
16:43
a powerlifter something that converted
16:44
to golf and then like he became like a
16:46
champion golfer right
16:47
Larry Nelson learned after the Marine
16:49
Corps and Lee Trevino apparently learned
16:54
learns late but I think he was doing it
16:56
kind of yeah yeah was a kid he wasn't he
16:59
a cab not sure but like people use him
17:01
as an example of but like a late bloomer
17:03
that did he was definitely like one of
17:05
the like the most famous like goth
17:07
hustlers but I just don't know the age
17:09
that that was in because he was in the
17:11
Marine Corps as well and I think there
17:13
was something like with that so I always
17:14
been interested in those guys who were
17:16
able to like still do it at a really
17:18
high level and especially here in
17:21
California so it's probably like this in
17:23
Tampa as well but there's a lot of
17:26
people who move to this area to just
17:28
like they've done other things and now
17:30
they want to become like full-time
17:31
lawyer like pro golfers you know and a
17:34
lot of these people were have athletes
17:38
and other things or kind of dabbled in
17:42
golf but are now like getting serious
17:43
into it it's just like such a crazy hill
17:46
to climb if you're to be like at that
17:49
elite level if you didn't pick it up to
17:52
like say like your 20s or even your late
17:54
teens very tough right right oh yeah for
17:58
sure and I you know we I played with a
18:00
guy who played on you know what's now
18:02
called that the corner ferry tour and he
18:06
was a club champion at this at this
18:09
place that I played at with my buddy my
18:11
buddy was a member there and I would
18:12
play with them a lot and I think he was
18:16
like top like I don't know like diving
18:19
driving one when he was playing and he
18:26
was lights out and his and his short
18:29
game was like he had a like a 40-yard
18:33
bunker shot and this thing came out so
18:36
low I was like I really did it and you
18:40
know like nine and I was like geez how
18:42
did this guy not make it like he he
18:45
bombs it over 300 yards he's got a short
18:47
game like the Hat and like he couldn't
18:49
even make it on you know the bitter corn
18:53
ferry or at the it was called web.com or
18:56
whatever and he couldn't make it you
18:59
know it's it's amazing
19:01
like the level of play that you have to
19:04
have to be on like the PGA Tour is just
19:07
insane yeah but I think a lot of a lot
19:11
of a lot of people who play other sports
19:13
they think the other athletes are pretty
19:18
annoying when it comes to Goff actually
19:20
because like they come from other sports
19:23
let's say basketball or football or like
19:25
anything like those those sports are
19:28
hockey and they think like well golf has
19:31
never seen an athlete before it means
19:34
like I'm a great athlete and if I get
19:37
into golf like you know everybody in
19:39
golf they're just like these like nerds
19:41
that are that are like got really good
19:43
at this like skill of golf but if if you
19:45
put that kind of drive into you know
19:48
like a high tune racecar like my
19:50
athletic you know skill body like I'm
19:53
gonna be you know they just never saw an
19:54
athlete like this before but that's not
19:56
really what it takes to be like there's
19:59
Charles Barkley and and a list a huge
20:03
mountain of amazing athletes they cannot
20:06
play golf at all it it's really almost
20:10
like godlike athletic ability is like
20:14
very very small amount of what you need
20:17
to be like a really good golfer I would
20:18
say there's a lot of guys on the PGA
20:19
Tour not like real like athletic or you
20:23
you just watch them in general and it
20:25
would be like clumsy or uncoordinated in
20:28
general but like super sharp with golf
20:30
you know that that's it's kind of like
20:33
because some of these guys think that
20:36
they can just like oh now that now that
20:37
I'm putting my mind to I you know I got
20:39
a really good level at basketball or
20:41
baseball or whatever was now I'm putting
20:43
my mind to golf like it's only gonna
20:44
take me like couple years and I'm gonna
20:46
be like top of the nuke just like goes
20:48
on that no not really
20:50
but but there is there like my friend of
20:52
mine Milo lines who's a golf teaches a
20:55
lot of Tour Pros there's a guy oh yeah
20:59
yeah I saw the video he teaches the guy
21:01
that was a pitcher in the major leagues
21:03
and now this guy is winning mini Tour
21:07
events pretty which is pretty cool like
21:10
he's a really good golfer and he's like
21:12
actually he's not doing it through like
21:14
we saw like
21:15
like professionals like even John Smoltz
21:18
and other other guys like are winning on
21:20
kind of like this celebrity circuit like
21:21
that Tahoe band stuff like that this
21:23
guy's going through to these mini Tour
21:25
events he's actually you know paying
21:27
whatever the $750 a day or whatever it
21:29
is and winning money from other from
21:32
other guys who were like you know trying
21:33
to get up through it so I just yeah it
21:37
meets a level of golf requires a level
21:40
of humility that a lot of athletes
21:41
aren't really used to yeah gotcha gotcha
21:45
all right so let's let's talk briefly
21:48
here about like be better golf like when
21:51
did you start the channel what was like
21:54
you know did you just come up with this
21:55
thing like gosh you know what I should
21:57
just start this well I was I was always
22:00
like watching so many youtube golf
22:03
videos like all the time I was watching
22:05
YouTube goth videos you know there
22:09
weren't that many like I started be
22:11
better golf I think in like 2015 or 16
22:14
or the end of may be like March of 2015
22:17
March of 2016 I think and so I was
22:22
watching like and I had always thought
22:24
of because I have this like big passion
22:27
for golf and then also like
22:28
professionally like I'm real skilled at
22:30
like making videos and stuff that's like
22:32
what I do for my regular job and and I
22:35
always thought about putting these two
22:36
things together about thought about like
22:39
an interview show where I would like
22:41
travel around interviewing different
22:42
people about golf and then and I never
22:45
really I never really took any action on
22:47
that I did I did sometimes like I had a
22:51
UT like if you go way back in my youtube
22:52
channel I would every once in a while
22:55
put up like like a golf thought or
22:57
something like that or or I actually won
23:00
a contest there was this training aid
23:02
called the Gosling shirt I don't know if
23:04
you've seen it like you put it on like
23:05
this they had a contest like to to show
23:09
show yourself using and make a video of
23:11
yourself using it and I put up a video
23:13
about it and I won the contest with my
23:16
video and I got to play around the golf
23:18
at Trump national with Padraig
23:20
Harrington which was really cool yeah
23:22
and you he was like a really good guy
23:25
and a it was funny too because he taught
23:28
he gave
23:29
this tip when I was playing that day and
23:32
I was thinking like what like you're not
23:34
supposed to do that in the golf swing
23:35
what like that doesn't make sense and
23:38
that was kind of gotten the gears moving
23:40
in my head about like all right I've
23:42
been hearing there's one thing about the
23:44
golf swing forever which was like you
23:46
know hold the leg or whatever and
23:47
Padraig Harrington was telling me
23:49
basically to do the opposite and I was
23:51
like but that's not what I see when I
23:54
look at slow motion videos so I was
23:56
watching a in particular I was watching
23:59
videos so I kind of forget about it for
24:01
a little while but then I was watching
24:02
videos from Monty shine bloom a guy that
24:05
I've had on my channel home on a whole
24:06
bunch really great great instructor and
24:09
I was watching videos from him and it
24:11
was one of some of the first videos that
24:12
he he was putting up regularly at Oak
24:16
Creek the golf course he works at and he
24:18
was saying a lot of counterintuitive
24:20
things like Padraig Harrington headset
24:22
and that just didn't like that was like
24:25
I was sending flips in my brain and I
24:27
was like writing comments in the in the
24:29
youtube comment section I was like I
24:30
would like have so many questions but
24:33
then every time you get a question
24:34
answered it would be like you know
24:37
results in like three more questions so
24:38
I was like you know I should just go
24:39
down there and like videotape him so so
24:42
I so I did so I asked him and he said
24:44
sure and I said I just sent him an email
24:49
and usually I was I was like I'm
24:50
thinking about starting to this new show
24:51
I like interviewer he was like short so
24:53
I went down there and you see like my
24:56
first videos I wasn't really that good
24:57
at it or at all but um but I had this
25:01
kind of like I was kind of like a very
25:03
frustrated golfer and Noah Kelly kind of
25:05
angry as well so I would like ask them
25:07
questions of like what this guy says
25:09
this and you say this and this guy's and
25:11
like I was trying to make these things
25:14
that people always talk about you know
25:16
these these things that never match you
25:20
know one teacher says this and another
25:21
teacher says that and I was trying to be
25:23
like there's a you know for a while like
25:25
for a long time people used to think
25:26
like oh there's a secret there's a
25:28
secret to golf and just the pros and the
25:31
good players just don't want you to know
25:32
it and I was almost like I was I was
25:35
almost like getting to be like half in
25:37
that camp because that was I had reached
25:39
a certain level of golf and I just felt
25:41
like it wasn't getting any better
25:42
and I was desperate desperate to get
25:45
better that's why I just called it
25:46
because I was like as I was like I'm not
25:48
looking for that's the whole thing about
25:49
be better golf was like I'm not looking
25:51
for like a tip to - you know shave a
25:54
little bit off of here or to get it get
25:56
a little bit you know of a moron playing
25:59
there like I'm just because when I would
26:01
play in these amateur tournaments it
26:03
wasn't that this guy did something
26:05
better than me or some others better
26:08
than he was just a better golfer I was
26:09
like yeah that's what I want I just want
26:10
to in general be a better offer so
26:13
that's how I got started I did that
26:14
video with Monty and the thing that
26:16
really gave it Monty had like I think
26:18
like 4,000 subscribers at that point or
26:20
something and I asked Monty I said hey
26:23
can I put a teaser to the interview for
26:25
my channel on your channel so we put
26:27
like five minutes of it on his channel
26:29
and said to watch the rest of the the
26:31
interview go to subscribe to be better
26:33
golf so I had like zero subscribers or
26:36
maybe like like 25 or something and when
26:39
my when Monty put that teaser that I cut
26:42
up on his deal that a lot of his people
26:45
started coming over and like I got like
26:48
500 or something subscribers and that's
26:51
always like the hardest part of
26:53
anybody's like YouTube channel is always
26:55
going from like zero to something and
26:59
usually the part of the problem people
27:01
have is like they're waiting for like
27:02
they're waiting for like that golden
27:05
amazing awesome video opportunity to
27:07
like to put up that's really gonna catch
27:09
people but it doesn't work like that
27:11
you'd be much better off just to put up
27:14
like bad video consistently and honest
27:17
you know honest it can in consistent
27:19
videos about whatever you're making your
27:21
videos about and just like just keep
27:23
putting them up you know and and drone
27:25
really like expect anything out of it
27:27
for a while just just like get better at
27:29
it and be consistent at it because and
27:31
the journey of doing be a better golf
27:33
like I've become like a better golfer
27:35
for sure and but I've become like a much
27:38
better like YouTube video maker and like
27:40
that's one of the things that's been a
27:43
bonus but Scott was asking how that golf
27:49
shirt was I'm sure from Australia is
27:53
that we do one that you want
27:56
the golf swing journey oh it was good it
27:59
was good like I like that shirt but I
28:02
have kind of like a different golf like
28:03
if you saw that the the old the old Ben
28:08
Hogan five lessons book you know where
28:10
he's got his hand his arms like tied up
28:12
and like a mummy wrap almost like
28:14
together to like keep them together
28:15
that's kind of like what it's based on
28:17
but now like I love the golf swing shirt
28:21
for pitching and chipping and not
28:24
putting so much because you can't your
28:25
elbows kind of go out more
28:26
but for pitching and chipping I think
28:28
it's amazing but I think anything past
28:29
like belt high like I I don't like it
28:32
that much for that so you know if the
28:35
the they're still selling quite a few of
28:37
those and I don't think Patrick is
28:39
involved anymore but yeah and Pat your
28:44
question may get answered a little bit
28:46
later so I'm gonna table that and and
28:48
we'll have a Q&A session guys a little
28:52
bit later so Brendon so real quick on
28:55
that point
28:55
um the so basically what you're doing so
29:02
essentially you're reaching out to these
29:04
golf professionals and you're
29:06
communicating with them like hey I would
29:08
love to come out and film about X Y & Z
29:11
and then you go out you meet these guys
29:14
you guys do your film session and then
29:17
and then ultimately it ends up on your
29:19
channel you usually it works kind of
29:21
like in the same way that collabs work
29:23
for for more normal YouTube channels so
29:28
the best way it works is if a guy has a
29:31
youtube channel where they they're
29:35
they're trying to make a point about the
29:37
golf swing that you know that kind of
29:40
resonates with like it's only like if
29:42
somebody like has put up a bitch you
29:45
almost always somebody's put up a video
29:46
that's like really interesting to me or
29:49
a new perspective on usually like
29:52
because like off is like the general
29:54
problem of like golf and specially like
29:56
full swing is like it's it's pretty
29:58
basic so so like what you have to do but
30:01
when somebody comes with like a new
30:03
perspective on how to get that done
30:05
because I think that's what people get
30:06
lost in too much where there's two
30:09
different
30:10
you could go about like solving the
30:11
problem of what is golf like that you
30:13
could be like you could really
30:14
concentrate on the the things that
30:17
happen in a good swing so like let's say
30:20
like you see that's like good lag you
30:22
see this good rotation you see you know
30:24
the ball launching a certain way like
30:26
those are all the things that happen but
30:28
I like to but I mean that's something
30:31
that like anybody could tell that's
30:33
something that like a camera could tell
30:34
or anything like that but I like B
30:37
better golf to be a lot more about like
30:39
what to do to make those good things
30:41
happen yeah so many things in golf
30:45
they're talking about things that are
30:46
basically like a history lesson like
30:48
that that's an analysis of what happened
30:50
or like or they show like 20 players and
30:53
they're like look all these players are
30:55
similar in this way or that way or this
30:57
player is you're a bad player because
30:59
you're not like these other players well
31:01
that's all stuff that happened but and a
31:04
lot of the times the things that you
31:05
have to do in order to make the good
31:07
thing happen will be totally incorrect
31:09
like you may have to feel like let's say
31:11
let's say let's say like okay like you
31:14
have to go across the line you know like
31:16
they say you have to feel that you're
31:19
massively across the line with like a
31:21
broken wrist right like this alright
31:23
that might get the golfer to look like
31:26
Daniel Berger like it you never know so
31:29
even a lot of times when when people are
31:31
having these like ridiculous golf
31:34
debates it's like how come you're
31:36
telling your students to do XY and z XY
31:39
and Z never happens in any golf good
31:41
golf swing and but the rubber really
31:45
meets the road it's like okay well how
31:47
are the students doing are they getting
31:49
better with that info because you're
31:53
bringing the way your brain interprets
31:54
something you might have to tell them
31:56
something that's totally wrong to do in
31:58
order to get the good thing to happen so
32:01
when I'm so that's usually the process
32:03
when I when I see somebody that has put
32:04
up a cool video or a blog post or
32:07
something like that that's something
32:08
that I like I'll send them an email my
32:10
name is Brendon Brendon for I were in a
32:12
YouTube channel about golf with over X
32:14
amount of subscribers and I really like
32:18
to interview you on putting or I really
32:20
like to interview you about this concept
32:21
that you had like I haven't heard any
32:23
else talk about it like that and here's
32:26
an example and most guys have been super
32:29
cool only a couple times I've I've had
32:32
guys like have like very strange
32:36
reactions to me asking to do this but
32:39
for the most part everyone's in yeah I
32:42
think you know and and I think it's
32:45
important for everyone who's listening
32:47
right now to like just to think about
32:49
all the time and effort that takes to
32:52
set up to go work with someone go travel
32:55
to go see them videotape it cut the
32:57
videos do all that stuff so yeah I mean
32:59
you could you although you could put all
33:02
the work that goes into like those goth
33:05
videos and so like it would be about
33:07
like this much and then the editing is
33:09
always this much like the editing is
33:12
brutal like if you're gonna start like
33:14
it's it's so it's like such a time suck
33:17
and it's not really that fun either like
33:19
making the videos is it takes a long
33:21
time it's difficult but it like it's fun
33:23
you're golfing you're talking about golf
33:25
you're getting better you're like you
33:27
know you're interacting with like other
33:29
golfers like you know it's it's you know
33:31
I'd do that for free but but the the
33:35
editing is brutal because you know like
33:37
um I'm forty hours a week at a regular
33:39
job and they're so basically like all my
33:41
editing time is after after the kids go
33:44
to sleep or whatever else so for the
33:46
first two years of the channel like
33:48
there was no like work-life balance like
33:50
I was literally up almost every night so
33:52
like 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning editing
33:55
these videos and then and then you know
33:58
trying to consistently put him out it
34:00
wasn't until I got better at doing the
34:02
videos and gang shooting them and having
34:04
different like strategies to do that
34:06
before like the editing wasn't just
34:10
totally like the worst time-consuming
34:12
thing because that's what like you know
34:14
the one thing about it is like at like
34:15
working a desk job like most people do
34:17
and editing is just like that's acts
34:19
that's what I do professionally as well
34:21
it's like I would I think that like
34:25
somebody somebody who works the desk job
34:30
probably gets their body destroyed even
34:32
worse than somebody who's doing like
34:34
manual labor every day like on a
34:36
construction site
34:37
I mean I have to talk to you know and
34:39
doctor about that but like it is so
34:41
damaging you mean even the way you and I
34:43
are sitting right now like it's damaging
34:45
to your body and then to just to you
34:47
like personally like as an athlete you
34:49
know you're not moving you're not
34:50
interacting with things in the physical
34:53
world and so the editing itself is bad
34:56
so that that'll be in the next step of
34:57
be there Golf is to be able to to get
35:00
like a an intern or something like that
35:02
to help me with the editing but right
35:04
now it's all there
35:05
well I think I speak for everyone who
35:08
says you know we appreciate you taking
35:12
time out of your day to actually go and
35:14
do all these collabs and work with
35:16
people and travel and and then
35:18
ultimately you're you're trying all this
35:22
out for me to see what works so
35:25
definitely appreciate everything that
35:27
you do in there and now I want to move
35:29
over into the real things and you lights
35:33
one of my lights just went out here so
35:35
I'm going to move this other one all
35:50
right all right so now we're gonna go
35:54
ahead and move into the tips yeah before
35:59
someone someone someone asked Pat asked
36:03
do you have to pay mulaskey and all
36:05
these other instructors to see them well
36:07
you think I don't know no I don't know
36:10
it's like pretty no I I don't have to
36:13
pay these guys but to videotape them but
36:16
a good example of this is like I went
36:18
and saw Milo you know and Milo was like
36:21
he Milo was a guy that watch be better
36:24
got for a while Plus like he teaches
36:25
right next to Michael Aska so when I
36:27
would go out there and do videos of Mike
36:28
Milo would see the videos that I did
36:30
like from Superstition Mountain so I
36:32
kind of got in like his space and you
36:36
know where he was like watching my
36:37
videos and I was asking him some
36:38
questions and so I went out to - I told
36:42
Milo like hey we should do some videos
36:43
together once like you guys are
36:45
accepting people that don't like
36:47
outsiders at your club again after the
36:48
virus and he was like yeah
36:51
okay that'd be fun and so like Milo like
36:55
is 125 dollars a lesson or you can like
37:00
spend all day with them for a certain
37:02
amount or whatever like he literally
37:03
took like he's super generous like he
37:05
took like like a full day plus like
37:09
parts like like so basically like a full
37:12
day and a half like out of his work and
37:14
we just like did videos together and so
37:18
that's like that's like a risk on his
37:20
part like like okay let me not see my my
37:23
customers you know my clients you know
37:26
for for like take a full day out so then
37:28
but then like once I started putting the
37:30
videos up like people started really and
37:32
I didn't you know like really the the
37:34
guy was asking I didn't pay Milo
37:37
anything to to be on the channel and
37:39
Milo also didn't have to pay me to be on
37:41
the channel because sometimes people get
37:42
contacted by people to be part of things
37:44
you know but you got to pay but Milo
37:48
said that within like for within like a
37:51
week of the first video and be better
37:53
golf coming out he got over 200 requests
37:56
for online lessons yeah it's pretty she
38:00
blew up he needed he needed to switch
38:03
over to another booking system and so
38:06
like it's a total win-win I mean I like
38:09
the the win-win-win actually it's it
38:12
it's a win for me for the Golf Channel's
38:14
win for people that get to see the
38:15
videos and it's a win for the instructor
38:17
so one get one instructor did ask me
38:20
because I wanted to go visit him and
38:21
like really far away place but like a
38:23
interesting instructor to me he's like
38:25
and I was talking to him for like hours
38:27
on the phone and he's like okay I got
38:29
one question for you but no he was like
38:31
why would I do this like what what would
38:33
possibly be in it for me to do this and
38:36
I was like trying to tell him the same
38:38
things I was just telling you but he was
38:40
like an older guy it just didn't click
38:41
with them like you just didn't get why
38:43
that would be a benefit so I was like
38:46
okay that's fine that's fine just before
38:48
calculus yeah yeah right
38:50
by the way Milo rips yeah yeah yeah he's
38:55
the best driver I've ever seen
38:56
yeah he crushes it alright so let's go
39:00
ahead and get into yeah what you guys
39:03
are all gonna get away from
39:05
there are some of the tips that Bremen
39:07
shared with me so and we'll we'll spend
39:10
a few minutes on each one so you guys
39:12
can kind of hear Brendon's thoughts on
39:14
this tip number one sign up for a
39:17
tournament just above your level yep
39:21
so Brendon why would you know an amateur
39:25
who's trying to get better why what does
39:27
this do for them basically what this
39:29
will do for you is the reason I say this
39:32
and and I wanted to put it first is that
39:34
just that like one of the most powerful
39:37
ways to get better it's just like
39:39
motivation because like if you're just
39:42
playing golf say with like your regular
39:44
group or you're just kind of like
39:46
spinning your wheels and and you feel
39:49
like you're working on the right things
39:50
but you just don't know like you got a
39:52
if once you sign up for that tournament
39:55
that she's like just above your level so
39:57
for example like I signed up last year
40:00
like I sent like just above my level is
40:03
that mini Tour player you know so I
40:06
signed up for like a mini Tour pro event
40:08
and I like my goal or one of my goals in
40:13
the channel with like I think it would
40:14
be cool to go from like like just
40:16
amateur golfer so like somebody that
40:18
like as like as won money from other
40:21
people who are doing it professionally
40:23
like so I was doing this thing it was
40:24
almost called like what it was he
40:26
calling it like a project pro money like
40:29
I was gonna take somebody else's money
40:30
like that was like doing it at like as a
40:32
pro so um once you sign up for a
40:35
tournament that you know that you're not
40:37
quite at that level like you know that
40:39
for it and especially like if it's not
40:41
in your area or you're gonna be playing
40:42
with guys that like you you almost never
40:44
see you like when I was preparing for
40:47
that tournament I that motivated me to
40:49
start practicing like three footers like
40:51
when are you gonna like try to try to
40:53
like do that circle drill that you
40:55
always see people talking about where
40:56
you try to make a hundred putts in a row
40:58
in a circle like you're never going to
40:59
do that unless you know that you have
41:01
this tournament going coming up and it
41:03
also it's gonna fly there's so much
41:05
different information about golf when
41:07
you know you have like a tournament
41:09
coming up you're gonna start to be real
41:12
deliberate about what you accept into
41:14
your like sphere of influence and what
41:16
you get a you know toss
41:19
because like I like I don't need
41:20
something that's gonna work in like a
41:22
couple years or you know or even it's
41:25
just gonna be a quick fix but then
41:26
follow it like you're gonna start to of
41:28
all these different tips you're gonna
41:29
see you're gonna be like hey I need the
41:31
peak at this certain time to get it
41:33
pretty good by this tournament and it
41:36
just makes your when you have this thing
41:38
coming up and it's the same thing that
41:40
they always say like I knew this piano
41:42
teacher and she said one of the most
41:44
important things about being a piano
41:46
teacher is the recitals because they'll
41:49
just kind of practice and they'll just
41:51
the people the piano players will
41:53
especially you like kids they'll always
41:54
kind of like stay at their level but
41:56
like if you know you have that recital
41:58
coming up then like the intensity gets
42:00
get so much more and that's the main
42:02
thing when you practice more than
42:04
anything else more than any great tip or
42:07
anything else your practice needs to be
42:09
intense and this is the thing that Tiger
42:11
Woods figured out better than anybody
42:13
else because he was able to you know not
42:16
be playing on tour for weeks and weeks
42:19
and weeks but still like show up at the
42:21
the major having only practiced by
42:25
himself right at that you know bleeding
42:28
edge of intensity that he needs to do
42:32
that and the other thing is to like if
42:35
you keep playing with like the same
42:36
people like they see you in a certain
42:39
way and it's kind of a give-and-take
42:41
like they see you and you see them
42:43
seeing you so like you know like they
42:46
know your shot shape they know who you
42:48
are and they basically like have you
42:50
figured out it's nice when you go into
42:52
another tournament they know nothing
42:54
about you hey if you like let's say
42:56
you're a I say you're a 5 handicap and
42:59
but you go and you play you play in the
43:02
state ammeter you know a qualifier if
43:06
you go to that qualifier they don't know
43:08
anything about you so if you hit you
43:10
know three good shots your first three
43:12
shots are good and you made it and you
43:14
make a birdie for all you know you're
43:16
like the best player from your area or
43:19
your the you know and you can start to
43:20
kind of take that on you know and right
43:24
yeah it's just
43:24
it'll just signing up for a tournament
43:27
that is just above your level will
43:30
really motivate you and that might be
43:32
getting
43:32
the thing that actually gets you into
43:34
that level like permanently and then
43:36
beyond well you know what when you send
43:40
me that tip I wasn't even thinking of
43:43
that I was thinking more about like oh
43:45
he's probably wanting them to watch
43:48
watch like how they felt like the bet
43:51
better players play and all that and
43:54
like maybe like how they have like a
43:55
putting routine and you might absorb
43:59
some of that good stuff from awesomo or
44:01
osmosis or whatever but for the most
44:04
part no it's more about them looking at
44:06
you than you looking at them yeah no I
44:09
think what you made made so much
44:12
practical sense right there because I
44:14
know as soon as you started saying that
44:17
I was thinking to myself if I was in the
44:19
tournament that's exactly what I would
44:21
be doing I'd be like I gotta get I gotta
44:22
get yeah you feel their eyeballs on you
44:25
and and you get jazzed up I mean the
44:27
main motivator more than anything else
44:29
in golf is shame and you know you do not
44:33
want to I mean it'll know like more than
44:36
you want to win or you want to do it you
44:38
just don't want to be totally disgraced
44:41
in front of a bunch of other golfers you
44:43
know so that that will especially like
44:46
missing those short putts like that's
44:48
there's a big shame factor to it like
44:50
you'd have to be an idiot to miss that
44:52
putt so that was not wanting to be get
44:54
yourself in that position will get you
44:56
to practice and get become a better
44:58
putter that's awesome
45:00
John John was saying his that his club
45:04
championship starts tomorrow but he
45:07
wasn't confident enough to sign up well
45:09
maybe maybe next time apparently you you
45:12
talked to John to because he was saying
45:14
that you connected him with Eric awesome
45:19
all right tip number two build an
45:22
obstacle course and don't be embarrassed
45:23
all right so there's a great book that
45:26
Mike bender wrote called building a
45:30
swing for a lifetime anyway and when I
45:32
was talking I did an interview with Mike
45:34
bender we also did a be better golf
45:35
school at his golf school and when you
45:38
when you go yeah in Lake Mary so when
45:43
you go to his golf school the place is
45:45
just new
45:46
everywhere like all the teachers that
45:49
are teaching there they're putting
45:51
people with these the noodles by their
45:53
head or around the club or and then he's
45:55
also has these things this thing called
45:57
the makes the system which is the most
45:59
efficient swing golf swing obtainable
46:01
and which is basically like a jungle gym
46:05
apparatus that people stand in and
46:07
depending on what you're working on you
46:10
know you you sweet you set it up so that
46:12
you have to swing through it I think
46:14
yeah so it's it's a it's a cool thing
46:18
but you can do everything that that
46:20
machine does just by with shafts and
46:25
pool noodles and like lineman sticks so
46:28
it is difficult though the the diagnosis
46:31
process is difficult because sometimes
46:33
people will work on like that something
46:35
that is not even like relevant to making
46:37
them better but basically um when you're
46:40
good when you go to the range like I
46:42
don't think you're not really you're not
46:46
really gaining progress on becoming
46:48
better if I'm able to walk up behind you
46:51
and I just see like you're you know you
46:54
you hitting a club and your bag and like
46:57
the balls and like that's it like if
46:59
because the way your body works and this
47:03
is coming from like a lot of different
47:04
coaches that have seen people get better
47:06
and seeing people stagnate you you don't
47:09
want to hit stuff you know like you you
47:12
will improve so much faster if you're
47:15
using like obstacles and things like
47:17
that so for example like me like I stand
47:19
up in my swing like this so for mine my
47:23
whole golf career I've stood up in my
47:25
swing and I and my shoulders have gotten
47:27
flat and then and everything I've tried
47:29
like feel of this feel this feel that do
47:32
this do that like it nothing makes it
47:34
better but if I put a noodle here right
47:37
on my shoulder plane I'll stay under it
47:39
and I'll start to feel what I have to do
47:41
to stay on to stay under it and I'll
47:44
have that a negative feedback really
47:46
because like if I do the wrong thing so
47:49
I would figure out what you're what
47:52
you're working on in your golf swing and
47:53
whatever it almost any problem in the
47:56
golf swing other than like mental
47:59
problems is like
48:00
boil it down like if you're looking to
48:03
make your golf swing better you really
48:05
boil it down to okay what is the golf
48:07
club doing like don't be like I hate the
48:10
way my hip looks here or I hate that I'm
48:12
early extending their like look how my
48:14
toe comes up here like what would it
48:15
look like if you erased yourself and you
48:17
just saw the club swinging okay now
48:19
right based on what the club is doing
48:22
you need to find based on what the club
48:26
is doing you need to find some array of
48:28
noodles or whatever else to get you
48:31
doing the right thing and and then
48:33
there's also there's another more
48:35
complicated way to do it where you
48:36
actually feed the error and you actually
48:39
put the noodles in a way where you have
48:41
to do the wrong thing and then you hit
48:43
horrible shots but your body learns that
48:44
that's wrong and then you go back to the
48:46
right thing so there's a flip flopping
48:48
to that but basically like okay if
48:50
because that's all all double golf ball
48:53
knows and this is like nothing new but
48:55
all the golf ball knows is where the
48:57
golf is the path that the club came from
48:59
and then how it's tilted at impact and
49:01
where you hit it on the face so just
49:03
simplify it like okay what is it because
49:05
I wanted to get into doing some like
49:08
golf instruction so I was talking to
49:11
Tony loot sack who I've taken like a
49:13
bunch of lessons from he's like my
49:14
personal teacher people in your videos
49:17
with him so I did I did a I did a review
49:21
of my nephews golf swing and I yeah yeah
49:25
yeah I did a review of Jack's golf swing
49:27
where it was like he sent me a swing and
49:29
I did a voiceover on it and then I sent
49:31
it to Tony and I said like okay like how
49:33
did I do as a you know golf instructor
49:36
he's like well let's just say like if it
49:39
was pass/fail that you would have failed
49:42
I was like really it was like because I
49:44
thought I did a pretty good job he's
49:45
like he's like no this would be like d+
49:48
at best I was like really oh okay but he
49:51
was like no you he's like look at what
49:53
his golf clubs doing I had told Jack
49:55
like hey you're Elbow this and and your
49:57
shoulder that and blah blah but like I
49:59
had to mention like okay you know cuz
50:01
you're gonna do a lot better if you can
50:03
get yourself or your student in this
50:05
clay case to like you figure out what
50:09
you got to do to get the golf club here
50:11
it's because from there through there
50:13
just
50:14
like from you know they call it p6 to p8
50:16
or whatever that's really the only part
50:20
that influence is it like because the
50:21
thing that that I always see and this is
50:23
the big thing that comes to the obstacle
50:25
course is you always see from waist high
50:28
let's say you're the golf swing from
50:30
belt high on the way through is like
50:34
above waist high it's super like there's
50:37
Jim Furyk and there's Rickie Fowler and
50:39
there's Shane Lowery and there's Daniel
50:41
Berger and everybody in between but once
50:43
you get to about belt high on the way
50:46
through it starts to narrow like
50:48
dramatically like almost everybody's
50:50
pretty similar and then once you get to
50:52
impact everybody is extremely simply as
50:55
similar and how they're doing that so
50:57
figure out what you're doing around
50:58
impact that's that's not what you want
51:02
and start you know and and if you're not
51:04
like you got to make it difficult so if
51:07
you're doing it and you're missing the
51:08
noodle a lot of times then you're it's
51:11
probably not tough enough for you so and
51:13
that's the other part about don't be
51:14
embarrassed like set up this station
51:16
like on the range like I was on the
51:18
range I had all kinds of things I didn't
51:20
look like Tim cup or whatever but I had
51:22
a I had the thing for my shoulder here
51:24
and then I had another thing for my for
51:27
my club to keep it low on the way
51:29
through which is basically the same
51:31
thing but I was it's what I was working
51:33
on and then I had a camera set up and
51:34
this wasn't even like YouTube videos I
51:36
was just practicing and then I had a
51:38
camera set up doing like the instant
51:39
replay and a golfer so everybody would
51:42
be for the most part would be like
51:44
majorly embarrassed to have like such a
51:45
big setup like that on the range and a
51:47
golf pro walks by me and I could this
51:49
was during there's one of the only
51:51
places I was open at the time and
51:52
everybody would be like embarrassed
51:54
thinking like oh man like the pro
51:55
there's gonna like roll his eyes and
51:57
they're like what is this idiot doing
51:58
like you know doesn't know anything and
52:00
he came up to me and he didn't know be
52:02
better golf or anything and he just came
52:04
up to me the pro he's like you know I'm
52:06
really happy to see somebody actually
52:09
trying to improve you know I seen you
52:12
got your setup you got your camera like
52:14
you're making some progress at getting
52:16
better like everybody else here is you
52:18
know you're basically just exercising
52:20
you know because the way your brain
52:22
works once you've hit one shot like okay
52:25
you've done that and you can keep trying
52:27
it and you're just
52:28
searching for the feel of the day you're
52:30
not really making any progress on what
52:31
it's going to take to get better so
52:33
actually like people would be nervous to
52:36
be embarrassed to have so much stuff and
52:38
you know like apparatus around them but
52:42
you're actually gonna get more respect
52:44
from the people who go to a PGA Tour
52:46
event a PGA Tour event today is looks so
52:49
different than a PGA Tour event from the
52:50
80s today you're gonna see guys with
52:53
balls in between their hands with pool
52:55
noodles on the putting green is insane
52:57
with how many alignment aids they have
52:59
and other things right Judy she had like
53:03
that wooden box that he brought out
53:05
there one knows I'm the putting greener
53:06
on their driving range oh no I haven't
53:10
been it it was what it was literally
53:12
like I mean it looked like like like a
53:15
gate but I had to be more than that
53:17
because it was it was like a like a
53:20
miniature doghouse out there and he's
53:23
now that's a thing that you're good at
53:25
or event now there's all kinds of
53:27
apparatus and stuff that they're using
53:30
now and the other thing that tour
53:32
players have that is really important
53:35
like that they're using their caddies
53:37
and in in ways to hold the noodles and
53:39
also hold the camera and hold they like
53:41
that feedback is really crucial and if
53:43
you want to be better like the thing
53:45
that I used to say like because people
53:48
like when I first went out to do the
53:50
videos on golf courses and stuff the
53:52
thing that people said like aren't you
53:54
like embarrassed like pull the camera
53:56
out pulled the tripod out pull it like
53:58
all this stuff out sorry
54:02
aren't you aren't you embarrassed to
54:04
pull all this stuff out and I'm like
54:06
well those people aren't there when I'm
54:09
signing my scorecard for like an 84 and
54:13
I feel like I want to vomit you know
54:14
those people who are making me feel like
54:16
like silly for for having the camera out
54:19
or having the noodles out or like you
54:21
know they're not going to be the ones
54:22
that are gonna have to deal with like my
54:24
emotions when like I'm feeling horrible
54:27
and they're also not going to be there
54:29
when you know I've played really well so
54:32
it's like I I'm the one who has to deal
54:34
with you know the results of my good or
54:37
bad scores so I don't I don't care how
54:41
they feel don't be
54:42
hey you know what and I think it's a
54:45
great tip because I've been going to the
54:47
range a lot lately and I haven't seen I
54:52
haven't seen anyone with any kind of
54:56
apparatus SIG's any kind of setup going
54:59
on besides maybe the occasional
55:01
alignment stick around
55:03
I mean look my favorite show it's
55:05
actually in the future this is something
55:07
I want to do but like my favorite golf
55:09
TV show or Internet show that ever comes
55:11
on all year is live on the range at the
55:14
Masters you know oh so like you know on
55:18
the Wednesday or a Tuesday Wednesday
55:19
before the Masters they have the track
55:21
man set up so you can see the flight
55:23
scopes of how the ball is going but you
55:25
know Bryson and even Tiger and another
55:28
guys you know they put the head cover in
55:30
such a way on the ground or Vijay Singh
55:33
puts the the umbrella in such a way and
55:35
the end the sand bottle and like you
55:37
know they they have they have like these
55:40
little obstacle courses or even they're
55:42
doing it with balls sometimes but more
55:44
and more you're seeing guys like when
55:46
would you ever see like in the 80s when
55:48
would you ever have seen somebody come
55:50
out with like a straight-up training aid
55:52
like a but now you see it all the time a
55:56
friend of mine birdie from DST golf like
55:58
has the bent backwards Club you know
56:00
like 23 of the top 30 guys have have
56:05
used that club like on a peon at or
56:07
driving range so yeah that's like that's
56:10
an old idea that people think like is
56:13
like really embarrassing or whatever but
56:15
you just got to get over there
56:18
awesome all right our final tip here and
56:23
this is something that I feel like
56:24
you've probably done more research and
56:28
homework on than anyone else
56:30
definitely across the YouTube
56:33
stratosphere is towing the golf club
56:39
don't let the club control right so so
56:43
this comes from like I did a series of
56:45
videos with birdy who I was just talking
56:47
about the guy who yeah I've seen that so
56:51
I'm basically like birdy calls it lagged
56:55
tension which never really fit for me
56:57
because having the word tension in there
57:01
makes you think that like you're holding
57:03
it or like you know you're being tense
57:04
as you're holding it it's it's not what
57:06
it means but but it but it does give you
57:08
that image of like holding and that was
57:10
the thing with be a better golf when I
57:12
first started it that the main question
57:15
I had was like hey like I've been trying
57:16
because I learned the golfing machine
57:18
other things that's hard about like how
57:20
important lag was I've been trying so
57:22
hard to hold lag and keep lag through
57:25
impact and I'm just like I was like a
57:27
seriously bad like I was an okay player
57:30
like probably like a four handicap or
57:31
something but like but that took so much
57:34
like practice and like just to get there
57:37
and my and my anti handicap was super
57:40
high so like there's the handicap is
57:42
like of your whatever your 20 bet at 20
57:45
last rounds like your five lowest
57:46
averaged right but my ante handicap of
57:50
like of my 20 last rounds my five
57:52
highest average would have been like
57:53
really high you know especially for so
57:56
um so when you're talking about towing
58:00
the golf club the club has to be towed
58:03
through impact so if I'm see I'm like
58:05
pulling this through so think about like
58:08
how you could control like a if you're
58:10
running fast with like a push cart on
58:12
two wheels you know and you're running
58:15
fast forward pushing it think about how
58:16
much control you would have or if you're
58:18
running fast but it's trailing behind
58:20
you they kind of get an idea of it so a
58:23
lot of people get this confused with
58:25
shaft lean and can I share my screen
58:29
with you because I have some things
58:31
prepared if I can I don't know if you
58:35
can or I don't think I can yeah because
58:40
I'm in my yeah yeah I don't think so so
58:46
basically you have to tow the golf club
58:49
through through the area through the
58:51
zone so if you take the easy way to look
58:54
at this I'm just unplug from here second
58:57
[Applause]
59:00
swing from face on and you hit the golf
59:03
ball if you take an extension of your
59:06
left arm and
59:08
a line down to the ground this needs to
59:11
be past the golf ball at impact so that
59:18
shows whether or not you're towing the
59:20
club now most people what they do is
59:22
they they swing the golf club
59:25
we kind of overcharge it at the
59:26
beginning and then it then it kind of
59:29
tips backwards if you're swinging that
59:31
kind of tips so so the only technical
59:41
thing that I was as you're as you're as
59:45
you're trying to build your golf swing
59:47
and you're trying to become better at
59:48
golf you've got to learn first how to
59:50
identify how much toe you are doing like
59:54
how much you're throwing it through
59:54
impact then you've got to be able to
59:57
then you got to figure out like okay how
59:59
am I going to do that but 95 plus
60:02
percent of regular golfers have the club
60:05
at impact past their hands basically so
60:09
once the club is if you're toning it
60:12
through impact then you are controlling
60:14
the golf club once the club has passed
60:17
this line that if that goes past your
60:19
left arm once the club has passed that
60:21
the club is its own freewheeling thing
60:24
it's basically like I'm controlling this
60:26
pencil until once I let go of it like
60:29
I'm not controlling what that's doing
60:31
and that's exactly what you're doing you
60:32
would you're throwing the club to the
60:34
ball and then it gets flung past you and
60:36
then it can wobble sometimes you'll hit
60:39
it this way sometimes you're headed that
60:40
way so so then you version your
60:44
consistency even your power all of that
60:47
stuff futures and Sascha McKenzie famous
60:49
gosh fat Goff scientist so birdy had a
60:52
show do this thing called forward
60:54
modeling of the difference between legs
60:57
like what if everything was equal what
60:59
if the club head speed and the angle of
61:02
attack and this the location on the face
61:06
and even the shaft lean what if all
61:08
those things were the same but one swing
61:11
had lag tension what he was calling
61:13
there one was being towed and one had
61:15
been flung Sasha found that you'll hit
61:19
the ball 45 percent straighter if it's
61:22
toad you'll hit it like seven yards
61:24
further with like an 8-iron something
61:27
like everything like but like that
61:29
that's straightness it was like
61:31
dramatically more narrow if you're the
61:34
one that's doing it because you cannot
61:36
predict the timing that you need to line
61:39
that up is is really difficult and it's
61:43
just once you know how to and if you go
61:46
to if you search be better golf lag
61:49
tension you'll see you'll see a lot of
61:52
videos that will explain this better but
61:53
once you know how to identify that
61:55
you'll see it in every single time like
61:57
I'm it's impossible for me to watch a
62:00
Instagram post of a golfer with a face
62:02
on from a face on view without me doing
62:05
a screenshot and recording and pausing
62:07
and impact and you'll see like a huge
62:10
difference and but but the other thing
62:12
with this too is that doesn't mean like
62:14
yeah key Neiman like has like beautiful
62:16
like the most on tour like he's towing
62:18
it more than any other player on tour
62:19
him and Cameron champ a little bit but a
62:22
camera champ has a lot of probably maybe
62:25
the most weight driver but through the
62:26
entire bag
62:27
Hakeem Neiman's towing it more than
62:29
anybody else so he's got like his his
62:32
arms would be pointed about two feet in
62:36
front of the ball at impact but and that
62:39
doesn't mean that Yaqui Neiman is gonna
62:42
be better
62:43
golfer than like Charlie Hoffman who's
62:46
like eight inches in front of the ball
62:47
it's a binary choice either you're
62:50
towing it through impact either you're
62:53
towing the club and you're in control of
62:54
it and that could be two feet that could
62:56
be you know seven inches or you're
63:00
you're not and that could be and and on
63:02
that side of it though that's that's
63:05
pretty like the worst players are like
63:08
have the club like back here and they're
63:11
trying to impact like this and then
63:12
you're starting to get better and closer
63:14
to scratch as you get to here you know
63:16
on the tour side of it on the like
63:19
tension side of it it's you just need
63:21
some so that's like really the the
63:23
dividing line for if you're trying to
63:25
get better at golf that's the dividing
63:26
line for whether or not you can be an
63:28
actual whether or not you're actually
63:30
playing golf if you're towing if you're
63:32
towing the club through impact then
63:34
you're playing golf and
63:36
you're actually able to be like okay
63:38
that's when the game really opens up and
63:41
that's when like because I don't think
63:42
there's really any point in the mental
63:46
game of golf or course strategy or
63:48
anything like that if you're if you're
63:49
if the club has been flipped past the
63:53
point of you controlling it there's
63:55
because yeah because you you have no
63:57
idea but anyways the only point the only
63:59
point would be to manage your own
64:01
emotions and and to help you not feel
64:04
quite so bad about it
64:05
and maybe keep you in the game enough to
64:08
have your your short game save it but
64:11
you're gonna be no kind of player yeah
64:15
if it's flip leg and there have been
64:17
some people sometimes people send me
64:20
pictures of like what about like Jack
64:21
Nicklaus or what about this shot of
64:23
tiger woods and and without a doubt
64:26
whenever they're sending me these
64:27
pictures that like proves that you don't
64:29
need lag tension it's always like the
64:32
balls about that far gone or a little
64:34
bit on you know they're never hitting
64:36
impact exactly you it's it's a so that
64:40
was that's the main thing that and then
64:41
the the the channel you can make an
64:43
entire YouTube channel and I kind of
64:45
have about the different ways that you
64:48
achieve that state of toeing the club
64:52
through impact and really by just
64:56
raising anything the more some people
65:00
the more you need to try to throw it the
65:02
more you actually end up having so it's
65:04
a very difficult problem to tackle but
65:07
just to just know that that's that is
65:10
the problem of golf that is the question
65:13
that golf demands you get you you're if
65:17
one thing that you say that that might
65:20
benefit everyone as far as getting
65:22
closer to toeing the club that you found
65:26
that you feel like you need to do I mean
65:27
for me I like to hit low like not very
65:33
hard like seven irons that only only go
65:36
like like seventy yards or something
65:38
carry you know like and and you're
65:43
taking it here and you can start to feel
65:45
it that's that whenever you feel like oh
65:46
I compress that ball that means that the
65:49
club was toe
65:50
and you pulled it you you pulled it or
65:53
you rotate or whatever you did the club
65:55
was towing your control and you pinched
65:58
it so like I mean the best the best
66:01
thing I found to do that is to hit low
66:04
cuts with like a 7-iron that are just
66:07
like kind of kind of pinched the other
66:09
the other huge thing with this and and
66:13
this is so golf clubs are made like this
66:15
and they have loft on it and to help you
66:20
get it up in the air almost everybody
66:22
almost everybody who doesn't have lag
66:24
tension who is not towing the club
66:26
through impact has the ball too far back
66:28
in their stance so because they have it
66:31
too far back in their stance and then
66:33
they put some flip to it but because
66:35
they want the hands forward and they
66:38
want to drive it lower they put it more
66:39
back in their stance the further the
66:41
wall goes back in your stand so the more
66:43
you kind of have to cast to it to get
66:46
some kind of loft and it's just it's a
66:48
vicious spiral so the the ball goes back
66:50
in your stance so that you can hit it
66:53
more compressed but then you flip at it
66:55
more because it's back in your stance
66:56
and and you're you just you're stuck in
66:58
a pattern you'll never get better
67:01
really try to hit those seven irons put
67:04
the 7-iron in like a 3-wood ball
67:06
position and try to hit it low
67:08
compressed where you're taking a very
67:11
shallow divot to anybody can get
67:13
shattering or whatever by hitting like
67:14
down on it fifteen the best would the
67:18
absolute best way to practice this is to
67:20
get on a Forsyte machine which is
67:23
something that that's that thing Bryson
67:25
Dee Shambo is using all the time if you
67:26
can get on like a GC quad or something
67:28
where they can read what the what the
67:30
club is doing and what the ball is doing
67:33
both what you want to do is try to hit
67:35
shots not too fast but try to hit shots
67:37
where you're hitting down on it with
67:39
like a 7-iron like eight degrees or
67:42
something or even like five or five six
67:44
seven eight something like that but
67:46
you're you're launching it low you know
67:50
so there so you want to be shallow but
67:53
launch it low from a forward ball
67:54
position you put those three things
67:56
together the only way to do those three
67:58
things together is to have lag tension
67:59
then start building that and it gets
68:01
very difficult once because your body
68:03
what
68:04
you think create speed are gonna be
68:06
things that destroy this so you just got
68:08
to keep taking it up taking it up taking
68:10
it up until you can do it and then all
68:12
of a sudden I had this picture I wanted
68:14
to show with you but it's it's pretty
68:15
cool if you go to let me see where I
68:18
have it on here yeah if you go to Keith
68:20
Mitchell's Instagram on there he has and
68:26
Keith Mitchell is a guy with great toe
68:28
great leg tension right on the PGA Tour
68:31
but I usually don't see stuff like this
68:34
but he is a picture of a Saints swing
68:37
speed sweet sequence of his from when he
68:39
was 12 and that showed his impact so now
68:42
on tour he's like this he's got great
68:45
leg tension but when he was 12 he was
68:47
like this and he was totally flipped you
68:50
know and I mean and that shows it right
68:52
there some guys that he was whirling
68:56
golf teams with him you know they just
68:57
made that work that kind of flip thing
69:00
and they and they maybe they practice
69:02
twice as much as Keith did and and other
69:05
guys you know other golfers as you're
69:08
coming the but Keith at some point
69:11
either through good coaching or just
69:13
like intuitively figuring out he figured
69:15
out that this was not gonna work
69:17
and he figured out how am I gonna get it
69:19
like that and you know his level just
69:22
you know exploded you will never get it
69:25
like you would have to be such a
69:27
magician with your hands and there are a
69:29
couple guys on tour there are a couple
69:30
guys even on tour with that head that
69:33
don't have lag tension on every shot and
69:35
and if you want to see one of them it
69:38
would just look at the guy who's been
69:39
the best putter on tour for the last 15
69:41
years guy has no lag tension at all and
69:46
you have to be so good strokes gains
69:49
wise in your putting and chipping to be
69:52
able to keep a career on the tour if
69:54
you're not if you're not towing it and
69:57
it just helps everything okay yeah now
70:00
you also have you have a course on on
70:04
that - don't you like beyond great in
70:07
yeah I think it's let me look it up I
70:09
think it's be better golf net /bg I I'm
70:12
just gonna check that
70:17
yep we go to be better golf the dotnet
70:20
/bg I so basically like I did this law
70:23
like I did a year's worth of videos with
70:25
birdie from DST and I had been flip and
70:28
I would I was like could not get my head
70:30
around like why is this not like any
70:33
time I try to hit it hard it's gone I'm
70:35
doing those 7-iron things like I was
70:37
telling you but anytime I tried to put
70:39
any power into it it's gone I found
70:41
through like a really weird process
70:43
using that for the for the floor site
70:46
machining and doing some other things
70:48
like I found a way that like I can every
70:51
single time guaranteed doing this
70:53
certain way like not like a thing you
70:55
can do in the golf course but during
70:57
this certain way like I can have amazing
70:59
awesome lag tension and hit like the
71:01
poor quality pure shots but it would be
71:05
a little but doing this would be illegal
71:06
to do on the golf course
71:07
so I made like this little program about
71:10
it like I think it's really good like
71:12
I've had insane legal I got the results
71:15
of a lot of the people who have taken it
71:17
have been really good but like I'm not
71:19
like the only accreditation at all in
71:22
teaching or anything like that I have in
71:24
golf is when birdie came out to the
71:27
United States I did become a I got my
71:29
certification as a DST certified
71:31
instructor as far as this delayed his
71:34
his leg tension theory and all this
71:36
stuff to talk about that's the only
71:37
accreditation as a teacher or anything
71:39
I've ever had and well that doesn't mean
71:43
that someone came rather right right but
71:45
but if that is the one part that I do
71:47
know about which is if I could know
71:49
about anything that would that would be
71:51
the one part that I would want to know
71:53
about and yeah so on this this course
71:56
you be better golf net /bg I be on great
72:00
impact I basically found a protocol that
72:02
that anybody can do like you can take
72:05
the worst flipper in the world and if
72:08
they if they do this routine they're
72:11
gonna see like hey that's all the lag
72:13
tension in the world I would ever one
72:14
and then just the very difficult part is
72:17
then okay how do I port that on to do it
72:20
with with no apparatus with no help or
72:23
anything like that on the golf course
72:24
that's the that's the personalization
72:26
part that's very difficult but that that
72:28
first giant step is yeah thanks for
72:30
mentioning that yes beyond great impact
72:32
it's it's been like it was a moment in
72:34
my mind that just like blew my brain up
72:36
when I figured this out and it's been a
72:38
lot of fun and for everyone who's on
72:41
here and actually everyone on who's
72:44
following up glove on our email list
72:46
I'll send all this out ok great as well
72:50
stuff okay so first off thank you for
72:54
all that did anyone have any specific
73:00
questions here Pat said that Pat was
73:04
talking about the about the the towing
73:09
of the young so important have any any
73:13
questions that they personally wanted to
73:16
ask Brendon Shawn are you Anna are you
73:21
at a club there or do you just play
73:24
public offer yeah no I just played
73:29
public I have I have a few friends who
73:31
are members at stuff and I'll play I'll
73:34
play with them and at their courses but
73:38
I'm one of those people who like I like
73:40
to play different courses yeah I know
73:41
for me feel like it's once you're in for
73:44
the membership you you would be like I'm
73:45
wasting my money going somewhere else
73:47
I'm paying so much further yeah um yeah
73:50
exactly
73:51
John asked I didn't quite get how to
73:53
make my practice more intense that would
73:59
just go back to the first tip we said
74:00
your practice will become a very intense
74:03
once you say like spent $200 just sign
74:06
up for a tournament that's just out of
74:07
your level so John if you're you know
74:12
what what was a shame was there's a guy
74:14
that uh be better golfer called ray a
74:17
friend of mine that I met through the
74:19
channel so he was doing the Golf Channel
74:21
AM tour so he he came to he came to one
74:27
of our be better golf schools with like
74:29
20 loot sack and and I out in Long Beach
74:32
and he also came to the short game
74:36
school I did with Timmy Elberton anyway
74:38
he was playing pretty regularly on the
74:41
on the Golf Channel AM tour
74:44
and he had jumped around to a bunch of
74:48
different instructors and he was never
74:51
like really in the hunt for it but but
74:53
he kept being there and all the sudden
74:55
something clicked and he won like three
74:57
of those events in a single season and
74:59
like got to go play in the finals and
75:01
everything and that was like really that
75:04
was really cool so um and that was that
75:07
was the thing that I wanted to bring up
75:08
to you and for someone they closed that
75:10
though Golf Channel am towards out of
75:12
business now I heard yeah so in addition
75:15
to everyone out of Orlando they shut
75:19
down Orlando everyone's going up - not
75:21
everyone not even most oh yeah but their
75:25
whole operation is going but they're
75:26
firing a lot of people I heard I mean
75:28
yeah the only thing that keeping here I
75:31
think is the golf now and golf past
75:33
people is what it said yeah that's it's
75:38
a difficult situation I don't know I
75:40
don't know anything about but I've been
75:42
I've been you know working for TV
75:43
companies my whole life and it's always
75:46
chill and everything's cool and then
75:48
there one day there's like okay we're
75:49
gonna have a meeting and and you walk in
75:51
remaining and says there's an air over
75:53
the room and you're like oh boy it's
75:55
like the executioner's there no but
75:58
something that people ask me all the
75:59
time this is something I wanted to bring
76:01
out so people say to me all the time
76:03
like how do you get better at golf if
76:07
you're always jumping from like teacher
76:08
to teacher to teacher to teacher you
76:10
know you're never sticking to one thing
76:12
or sticking to one pattern and I was
76:14
saying this it's a somebody about it I
76:16
was like whoa if I had be better golf or
76:19
if I didn't have be better golf I would
76:21
be doing the same thing that's what I
76:22
was doing like I was I'm always because
76:25
I'm like a real curious type anyway like
76:26
I'm always going to be looking at tips
76:28
on the internet and I'm always gonna be
76:30
talking about golf to different types of
76:32
people whether I have the Golf Channel
76:33
or not but I'm not seeing in the in the
76:38
research I've seen and also in the
76:39
evidence of the players I've seen that
76:41
have gotten better and the players I've
76:43
seen that have not gotten better I'm not
76:45
seeing a very strong correlation between
76:47
sticking with one method and getting
76:50
better like there's just as many people
76:54
who have stick stuck with the same
76:56
teacher and sore stuck with
76:58
one method of doing things that have
77:00
never gotten better as I would say
77:02
there's more players that have jumped
77:03
around all different kinds of methods
77:06
that end up getting better than people
77:08
who is stuck with one method I mean even
77:10
if you look at the Justin Rose just
77:12
fired his coach and now he's doing it on
77:14
his own
77:14
Tiger Woods changed he's famously six
77:17
times or more and you know even like the
77:21
the best players in the world but like
77:23
you got a you got the main thing for me
77:26
has never been like like I've never
77:29
stopped taking lessons from a teacher
77:31
because of the information like it's
77:34
never almost never and I've like this is
77:37
talking like before be better golfing
77:38
noticing yeah like and this is the best
77:40
advice I could give to a golf teacher
77:42
the the main thing that that ever gets
77:45
me to stop taking lessons from someone
77:47
is just their enthusiasm goes down and
77:50
my enthusiasm has stayed the same or
77:52
gotten more you know cuz every golf
77:55
teacher when you go up they're there for
77:56
your first golf lesson or you signed up
77:58
for a set of three golf lessons their
78:01
enthusiasm about how much better they're
78:03
gonna get you is like sky-high lesson
78:06
one and by lesson four they're like done
78:09
with you they're like for their board is
78:11
your problem you know I mean or or maybe
78:14
they haven't made a better or anything
78:16
like that so that would be the main
78:18
thing it's like keep that enthusiasm
78:21
high and this guy that I was telling you
78:23
about that one on the the Golf Channel
78:25
amateur a bunch of times last year
78:28
he'd been to everybody bounces around to
78:31
a lot of different coaches and he kind
78:33
of keeps the things that he likes any
78:35
kind of like you know the things that
78:37
like he just knows that aren't gonna
78:39
click for him he is just kind of like
78:40
ignore but I would I would go against
78:43
that thing of thinking like oh I just
78:45
need one thing to stick to it you right
78:48
in some ways you you need to have like
78:50
go-to shots in that way but that's not
78:53
really how like I think Golf is a lot
78:55
more like MMA and a lot less like
78:59
archery so like archery like you're
79:02
doing that same thing and you're trying
79:03
to hit that the bullseye like exactly
79:05
every time you're doing and that's kind
79:07
of how people think of golf like I'm
79:08
precise I'm here I'm lined up and going
79:10
there
79:10
I think Golf is a lot more
79:12
like MMA and you think that the reason
79:14
that MMA got so big was they they figure
79:17
it out through all these you know Gracie
79:20
led tournaments they figured out little
79:21
well there's no there's no there's no
79:24
like okay it's not gonna be like all
79:26
kung-fu guys are all karate guys or even
79:28
all Brazilian Jiu Jitsu guys the guys
79:30
who are really good at MMA now are guys
79:34
who are they're like there's everything
79:37
and they're doing boxing and there's
79:39
Conor McGregor's doing these weird like
79:41
animal body movement things and they're
79:43
putting all kinds of stuff and that's
79:45
how golf is because it's not one skill
79:47
it's like you got to be a putter and you
79:49
got to be a chipper and you got to be a
79:51
good driver of the ball and driving the
79:53
golf ball is very different from doing
79:54
you know bunker yeah yeah you got to be
79:59
a really good learner and a really
80:01
really super adaptable so yeah right pat
80:06
pat ask ask Brendon since we are here
80:12
any discounts on BGI he's putting he's
80:15
putting you right right yeah anybody
80:17
who's watching this send me an email and
80:18
say hey I want BGI and I think it's 4995
80:23
the only twenty dollars off of that so
80:25
just send me an email and I'll and say
80:29
hey I watched you on the up globe talk
80:30
and and I want to I want to get PGI just
80:34
let me know and I'll send it to you for
80:35
for 30 bucks Pat said good deal links
80:42
see what else we got here your swing
80:46
speed I saw you do the swing speed
80:51
sticks were you able to maintain your
80:54
swing speed after you increased it uh no
80:58
not really I mean I I can like I can
81:02
spike it like to get high like right now
81:04
like I measured it yesterday was 116 was
81:07
like a good one a pretty solid one and
81:10
then I'm like golf course speed more
81:12
like 113 something like that but just if
81:17
you're not like you gotta be like
81:19
because that's what I did like I went
81:20
out to Kansas and and I did this thing
81:22
where I got up to 172 miles an hour ball
81:25
speed because I wanted to
81:26
170 and John and I thought empo like
81:30
we're really working hard like grinding
81:32
hard over two days and we did it you
81:34
know and I was I was and and the 170 I
81:38
hit wasn't like some crazy shot it was
81:39
like everything lined up was perfect and
81:42
when I came back I was like alright I
81:45
want to I know that it'll go away if I
81:47
don't keep up with it so I started doing
81:48
these classes with like some subscribers
81:50
and stuff where I was doing the sweet
81:52
and swing speed sticks and stuff but
81:55
what I found was that doing the speed
81:59
stick swings and stuff you have to
82:00
basically be doing that stuff right on
82:04
the range only I would say like I don't
82:07
really like doing it in the street
82:09
anymore like I was doing a lot in the
82:11
street or the backyard or things like
82:12
that I don't really love that anymore I
82:15
because it starts to creep into your
82:18
regular golf swing it starts giving you
82:20
like a pattern that's like not that
82:22
ideal like you need to like I would
82:24
rather have you like do that protocol
82:26
that Gogh stick Pro protocol or whatever
82:29
but you got to be then like hitting
82:31
shots in between it you always got to be
82:33
relating it back to golf like you're
82:36
because I found that the more like one
82:40
of the worst times I was swinging the
82:42
worst was when I was doing the speed
82:45
sticks and all that stuff the most and I
82:47
think now that I'm starting to get into
82:50
it again to build my speed I it's it's
82:53
got to be like it's got to be always
82:56
like popping back to golf like okay you
82:59
see how I'm swinging the heavy end now
83:01
and the way that feels let me grab my
83:04
driver and now now try to feel that the
83:06
heavy on through there or see the light
83:07
in here and that feels it's always got
83:09
to be constantly poured back in the golf
83:12
like it and just moving your body faster
83:14
like like for guys like Bryson to Shambo
83:17
like who races swing speed crazy with
83:20
the whatever they're called super speed
83:22
six that works for him because he's
83:24
hitting balls every day he's probably
83:26
hitting balls in most hours of every day
83:29
that he's not you know and or drinking
83:32
protein shakes so that'll work for him
83:36
because he's constantly golfing and I
83:37
even think like for the college golfers
83:39
that
83:40
that might be okay but for for guys who
83:43
like let's say you get you're able to
83:44
get to the range twice a week and then
83:46
you play once a week the protocol to
83:49
make you better you have to be doing
83:51
that three times a week for a while well
83:53
that's going to be a lot of times that
83:55
you're doing that and you're not hitting
83:56
balls so that's the whole thing also
83:59
about golf fitness is like I the what
84:02
you have to do in goth Fitness for an in
84:04
order for it to show up in your golf
84:06
game is like a lot like way more time
84:09
than then sean has or I have four four
84:12
you know you got to be a full-time
84:14
golfer so you to get a benefit out of
84:17
golf fitness for so so really like yeah
84:22
I would use that those SuperSpeed sticks
84:24
and stuff like that and I but how I'm
84:26
using them now is like it's got to be
84:28
right at the very time that I'm actually
84:31
hitting drivers gotcha
84:34
Lauren said he had Lauren had to go but
84:37
he wanted to thank you for all the
84:39
information here who's the best player
84:43
you've ever played with I would say well
84:49
I could narrow it down to a few so I
84:51
played I played golf at Hartwell with
84:53
this guy called Rory he he's like the
84:55
number 700 player in the world or no 550
84:57
player in the world he won on the Asian
85:00
Tour for the first time last year in
85:01
India and that was a cool experience
85:04
because this course that I'm talking
85:06
about Hartwell is an 18-hole course that
85:07
he grew up on that's only like 130 yard
85:10
holes and less so playing with him was
85:13
was really cool because he hits these
85:16
low flighted wedge shots and they're
85:18
always pretty close and if he misses it
85:21
he's got a lot of different shots that
85:23
he's learned so that that was pretty
85:25
cool but the best it's it's it's hard to
85:33
say because different guys do do
85:34
different things really well I did this
85:39
thing called the be better golf
85:40
Challenge series that I want to start
85:42
doing more so remember the old shells
85:44
wonderful world of golf matches well I
85:46
didn't call them be better golf
85:48
Challenge series so match so it was it
85:51
was just one match so far but I want to
85:53
and I took Monte shine boom who's a very
85:55
good player and put him against another
85:58
guy who's a YouTube channel called Blair
85:59
McKeithen from formula golf and I put up
86:03
$800 to the winner and I filmed it and
86:06
then I put it out on Bieber torn off is
86:10
like a pay-per-view thing be better got
86:11
to fund the purse so it was cool cuz
86:13
like they got paid and like people saw
86:15
it was like nine dollars and yeah it was
86:18
and and it turned out really cool and
86:20
that's that's the the craziest display
86:26
if you watch that video it's actually
86:27
free now and be better golf if you type
86:29
in YouTube be better Golf Challenge
86:31
series that's the craziest display of
86:33
driving that I ever saw from two guys it
86:37
was like about a hundred degrees out at
86:39
Ram's hill which is like in the is in
86:42
the desert so so it's like the ball was
86:44
carrying forever but both these guys and
86:46
Monty's like a big dude that like you he
86:49
gets like 185 miles an hour of ball
86:52
speed and this other guy gets like 180
86:54
miles an hour ball speed or or maybe the
86:56
same as Monty and they were hitting like
86:58
400 yard drives like this one hold that
87:00
was really downhill and there's like the
87:01
drives they were hitting were just like
87:03
crazy but probably the the best golfer
87:08
the best golfer I know that I ever
87:10
played with it would probably be Eric
87:11
Mike tree who the accident you know he's
87:15
he's just so like he was telling me like
87:19
I was saying he was telling me so many
87:21
good mental game tips I'm like yeah the
87:24
mental game for you you're like flushing
87:25
it and it's either like it's either like
87:27
left side of the green right side of the
87:29
green or like you know it's like yeah
87:31
obviously usually okay I'm gonna hit my
87:33
drive over here and they're gonna have
87:34
an angle over here it's like well yeah I
87:36
mean and yeah he mean he just the only
87:39
reason I say he's probably the best
87:41
player I played with is because I mean
87:43
making birdies is so easy for him he's
87:46
not insanely long like he hits a Fiat at
87:48
300 yards but but uh but he hits his
87:52
iron shots so close he has so many
87:54
chances for birdie it's like he made I
87:57
think seven birdies in this round and
87:59
was just like and he was and I was
88:00
asking him questions the whole time it
88:02
was like it was so easy for so yeah yeah
88:07
does comes off like it's just like it's
88:10
it seems so smooth like when he swings
88:13
he's like never muscling anyways like
88:16
yeah so yeah so he's probably the best
88:20
golfer so so I'm thinking about doing a
88:24
be better golf challenge match of Eric
88:27
versus Milo which I think would be
88:29
really interesting because my Milo is
88:33
the best driver of the ball I've ever
88:35
seen like I saw him hit probably 50 or
88:39
60 drives because we're on the range and
88:42
on the course and stuff and he missed
88:44
one drive of those 50 or 60 and the
88:46
reason he missed it was I was asking him
88:48
like okay when did the hand square and
88:49
you kinda think I'd like a snap hook but
88:52
that was just on the range like fifty
88:55
nine drives hit just like nuts perfect I
88:58
mean he's swinging so fast
89:02
yeah it really swings it yeah I don't
89:05
that's the thing I don't know like
89:06
that's what I'm so this is what I'm
89:08
going through and be better golf now as
89:09
I'm trying to figure out can I do my
89:11
lows more of a slinging body work thing
89:15
with I like a really active right hands
89:19
like a spanking thing you know Milo said
89:22
like he doesn't want any arms in the
89:24
swing like feeling at all tony is saying
89:27
that the arms that have that's to lead
89:28
the swing so I'm seeing is there a way
89:30
for me and maybe there's not but I'm
89:32
trying to figure it out is there a way
89:33
for me to have that that start of the
89:36
body and then and than but still have
89:38
this active spank or slap that I like to
89:41
have so that's what I'm going with
89:43
I'll what helped me a lot that I've
89:45
worked on on the range last couple of
89:48
days and you and Milo kind of covered
89:50
this it will one is like just my posture
89:53
in general but one thing that that I was
89:56
watching I was watching something on
89:58
athletic motion golf and a couple other
90:00
people and like one of the biggest
90:03
differences between a good golfer and a
90:05
bad golfer is side bend and like that
90:09
the difference between pros and Am's
90:11
like pros are almost at like 40 degrees
90:14
amateurs or like they're solely always
90:17
come flat huh yeah right okay
90:20
so so I've started working on that and
90:24
something that I think Milo said it in
90:27
your guys's and your guys's talk is like
90:31
you know the side bed needs to come from
90:34
like around your ribcage and I think a
90:36
lot of times I was doing it more from my
90:38
best tilting yeah you want to I would
90:41
you want to end but you don't want to
90:42
tilt yeah and so the last few days I've
90:46
been practicing I've been practicing
90:49
that at the range and it's felt it's
90:51
felt really really good one cool thing
90:53
to do is get a long stick and this is
90:55
something else I saw so if you can see
90:57
but see me more like this and you try AK
91:00
thing where you go like this and you go
91:02
see how my body so I'm like backwards
91:05
paddling like a kayak vector right
91:09
exactly so that that kind of shows
91:11
that's basically what's happening when
91:14
you're swinging you know at least vacant
91:18
so that's something you can do like at
91:20
home or whatever to just kind of warm up
91:22
and kind of like ya know what those
91:24
muscles are supposed to kind of be doing
91:26
yeah but um someone asked if you watch
91:32
txg the club fitting on youtube and will
91:35
you be getting a GC quad soon I was
91:39
watching yeah no I haven't seen I
91:41
haven't see I've seen a couple of their
91:42
videos I know they're like they're super
91:43
in-depth and I know that they use and
91:45
like them like they like the like I like
91:48
the GC quad like people ask me this
91:51
sometimes like I like the GC I'd rather
91:52
have that than more expensive Trackman
91:55
definitely I think the numbers and I've
91:58
talked to the guys from when I went to
92:02
the PGA show I talked to the guys from
92:04
4sight Golf and stuff like that and I I
92:06
trust the numbers that come out of that
92:08
more as far as like club head data and
92:12
and really to be able to use the GC quad
92:15
as a machine to get better you need to
92:18
be able to see what the club's doing
92:20
that costs an additional to be able to
92:22
get that data cost I think an additional
92:24
$5,000 or something so so like kids you
92:28
can get a GC quad I think for like maybe
92:30
I don't know these numbers but $15,000
92:32
or $14,000
92:34
then if you wanted to be able to see
92:35
it's just like a software patch kind of
92:37
like you know like in a Tesla like
92:39
unlocking auto drive it's just they can
92:42
all do it it's like but for you to have
92:44
them unlock the ability to be able to
92:47
read the stickers on a club yeah for
92:50
then the trip for them the pro button in
92:52
order like we're update yeah exactly
92:55
yeah they just press a button and you
92:57
got it so kind of like kinda like I was
93:01

93:02
impact there's this there's this study
93:04
that I wanted to do with lag tension and
93:07

93:10

Breakdown of the Top 3 Tips for Amateur Golfers...
Sign Up for a Golf Tournament Just Above Your Level
The reason this will help an amateur golfer is they will actually be laser focused on their practice sessions. Amateurs will actually practice instead of just hitting a bunch of balls. They will actually practice their short game and putting.
Build an Obstacle Course for Practice and Feedback
Don't be embarrassed to set up a camera and some pool noodles. You need immediate feedback to produce a result or to develop skills. Practice stations or obstacle courses can help you get better faster.
Tow the Club Through Impact
Brendon shared that best thing anyone can do is tow the club through impact sometimes referred as lag tension. When you can tow the club through impact you will gain consistency, a better dispersion and more distance.
