00:00
and just to explain the tiger five for the people that are listening and watching right now they're
00:03
like what is that well it's pretty simple it's an easy way to to track uh how you really are
00:09
playing and doing the little things good and and the first thing is uh three putting eliminating
00:14
three putting things good just not doing the little things bad there you go that's that's
00:18
probably a better way to put it so we're talking about uh eliminating three putting not making
00:22
bogeys with wedges the easy up and downs the ones that you should get up and down getting those up
00:27
and down avoiding double bogeys and then not making bogeys on par fives it's such a simple thing
00:33
that when i when i've told it to people speaking at clinics wherever it is people are like huh you
00:39
know i was thinking about what my wrists were doing at the top where i was thinking about oh should i
00:44
be able to shape it both ways or should i be able to control trajectory no you just need to do the
00:50
little things better yep and one thing that's critical to me is it's not no three putts it's
00:56
not no doubles it's not too many and that's a big shift mentally because now when they happen i used
01:02
to treat every problem as an anomaly like oh my god i can't believe i bogeyed another par five today
01:07
like yeah you duh you're gonna do those five things every single day so you can't be surprised when it
01:12
happens i mean last year i finished eighth at champions tour first stage and then i missed getting
01:16
status by three shots had like a 71 scoring average for eight rounds and i had 20 of those mistakes in
01:22
eight rounds which is two and a half per round and still played basically like plus five golf over
01:27
the course of you know a month and a half and eight rounds of qualifying school and so i do believe
01:31
that you know we're all such lunatics that it's just important to get out there and be like okay
01:36
there's one there's two i mean if you're a scratch you're gonna have like six or seven of those a day
01:40
and so really again what decade what proper course management is about it's your low rounds are still
01:46
going to be there like you've just kind of got to trust that that's just going to be positive
01:49
variance within your shot pattern or putting or whatever but it's that worst third of score so
01:55
like you've got a normal distribution curve of scoring so for me as a 71 average that's that's
02:01
going to be like 65 to 75 everyone's got like a 10 shot ish window that they're going to shoot in
02:04
it's that higher range that just kind of disappears because you don't get as mental and trust me if
02:10
you're a hothead out there it is possible to not get mental like you just take whoever's the worst
02:15
on tour right now multiply it by six and then add aliens and that was me i mean it's just
02:19
it's just really comical looking back how dumb i was mentally and and again it's a lot of a lot
02:28
of meditation a lot of other things that have helped me get to the point of not getting so mad but it's
02:32
also just a very basic understanding of expectation management that's why yeah it is just an acronym and
02:37
the first e is expectations right because once those are in check it's hard to just check out for 30
02:43
minutes and get all mad
