00:00I, of course, am not a tour pro.

00:04I am a tinkerer.

00:05Sometimes it's just looking at something different that gives you a little bit of confidence.

00:09So when he goes to that 35 and a half inch, that tailor made spider tour X with the L

00:14neck, all of a sudden it starts putting a little better as look something different.

00:18But now to, to find a grip to the, to your point, it makes him feel confident and rolling

00:23it online with good pace inside 10 feet.

00:26Stroke look good, man.

00:27It could be a blood bath this next year.

00:29If, if very well could, and that, uh, you know, I, you wanted to talk a little bit about

00:34tiger woods being the booth and my takeaways from what he said about Scotty, it's, it's

00:40not earth shattering.

00:41It's, it's nothing we haven't heard before, but I think one of the things that stuck with

00:45me was just how he describes Scottie's ball striking.

00:48He said, well, he, you know, he hits the center of the face.

00:51And when you do that, you're able to hit it high.

00:54You're able to hit it.

00:55Well, you can curve it both ways.

00:57And I just am just blown away when I'm looking at the monitor and I'm watching Scotty every

01:04time with a driver, whatever the shot is, it just comes out the exact same window every

01:08single time.

01:10And it's the same in person, say watching on a monitor, he hardly makes mistakes.

01:16And that's what kind of what tiger was saying.

01:18It was that, you know, when you have a player that, you know, doesn't have a weakness in

01:23his game and is not going to give it away, he's going to have a chance to win a lot of

01:27golf tournaments.

01:28And I thought one of the things this week that he was really good at that actually something

01:34that's interesting is in a putting set was his approach putt performance was first.

01:40So like basically lag putting how close you got it to the hole in your approach pot.

01:44He was first in that category and that was putting with his conventional grip.

01:49And I was watching him on the putting green before the round.

01:54And this is interesting for a lot of people that are trying to get better at lag putting.

01:59This is a great drill because I didn't know we did this, but he'll have a 40 footer and

02:06he looks at the hole like he always would looks down, strokes the pot.

02:11And instead of looking up at to see, you know, where the ball is, he waits until the ball

02:17finishes rolling.

02:18So he strokes the pot and he's just staring at the ground.

02:22And then maybe he's guessing in his mind, is it long?

02:26Is it short?

02:27Where, where is this ball going to end up?

02:29And then eventually when the ball stops rolling or close, you know, you can't be perfect when

02:33it stops or starts rolling, but somewhere around the end of the putty looks up, sees

02:37where it is.

02:38And then his mind, he's calibrating basically the speed of the greens that day.
