Hi Brett - Love your work and simplifying a better approach to golf. What I fail to understand is why we don't treat golf like throwing any object most the time you just pick something up and hurl it at a target and the results are pretty decent, why do we have to make golf so technical??? In order to make improvements in a golf swing how is it possible with the rabbit hole of swing tips on RU-vid, IG etc. One last thing pertaining to myself is why am I so curious and won't trust, accept a process from either highly credited swing coaches??? Thanks again keep up the great work!!!
Ive had my philosophy, mission statement, and core values written down for over 2 years and I'm 22. However, I'm always second guessing myself on what I believe. I want to pick 100 things but I can't. Short is sweet.
I have 2 scotty camerons i have used for the last 20 years or so (red x and kombi s) and i have never been this exited about a putter. I thought of i was going to be a shitty putter for my whole life, but this gives me hope. Some people say the 2.1 is ugly but i think it is 1 of the most beautiful,confident inspiring putters i have ever seen. I cant wait to get my swing video back. Sam hahn you look like you would have went to grateful dead shows.
Thanks Bhrett. Your diagnosis is spot on what I have. I'm now looking forward to practice today to start working on this. Appreciate the video and the clarity.
Lol very different day in age where seeing all the parents at every game who were road warriors in youth ball, was a good thing 😂😂.. nowadays, win or lose, travel ball parents are a lot more chirpey
In this day and age the answer is NOOOOO! Noone whats to work hard anymore. I learned the term “quietly quitting “ from my 28 yr old daughter . I fear for our future.
I decided to coach my daughters rec little league softball team because her 1st year was a disaster coach wise and I didn't want to deal with that again or have her experience that again. I have played and both my daughters have played. I have no idea how to coach but I don't want to wing it so I am researching how to coach and found this video. Thank you for your passion on this topic because I had no idea I needed this.
This was great! Love Willy's perspective. I lived in Birmingham for some time and it was a kick seeing his tour bag in the pro shop at Highlands. I only found out about him after the Fire Pit article and it's been great seeing his success with Ben Carr and Sung Jae. Best going forward for both of y'all. Keep up the great podcasts.
This is a great podcast. I watched it 3x in a row. Many messages, many levels about subject matter, process and the writer. It is about self as well. Well done.
Great video! I enjoyed it and want to expand on my mindset developed as a pitcher and how it guides my golf game and all areas of life. Pitchers and position players have vastly different expectations and experiences on the baseball field. Position players (hitters) are taught that the game of baseball is a game of failure and to succeed three out of 10 chances at the plate is good. They will only have three or four chances to effect the score of the game. That means in inverse is true for pitchers and a pitcher is expected to be successful seven or more times per 10 at bats. As you said in the video, your capacity and capability are different things. A pitcher might have the capacity to throw three pitches with great precision--but the capability to do it changes every time you step on a mound. I believe that when talent is relatively level, what differentiates great players from others is how quickly and accurately they can make adjustments. A great pitcher can find the proper adjustments to make that day to be able to use their pitches successfully. A great hitter will find the proper adjustments to make pitch by pitch, maybe even mid-pitch. These adjustments are physical and mental. For the pitcher, the game played within the game is the mental chess between the himself and hitter paired with the personal psychodrama playing out in his mind with every pitch, and the most influential character in that drama is his confidence. To be successful, a pitcher must have genuinely conviction in his ability to make the pitch he is about to throw and the slightest bit of doubt in a pitcher's mind while coming set or delivering the pitch will almost always yield a bad result...occasionally you will get lucky, but experience tells me this is when walks, wild pitches, hit by pitches, doubles, and homeruns occur far more often than when throwing a good pitch and the hitter somehow still beats you. The tricky part is balancing confidence and humility. Baseball will humble you over and over again and as a pitcher you will be tasked with immediately getting back on the mound after being humbled and it can be an incredibly lonely place to be. In those moments, you experience all of your doubts and insecurities within your psychodrama as loud as can be, but you must have the mental fortitude and flexibility to allow your confidence to reclaim the space in your mind as quickly as possible in order to have any chance of success. "So what, next pitch," was a common thing I would tell myself to achieve this. I never golfed until after my pitching days were over, yet I long idolized Tiger Woods' mentality, especially his ability to bounce back after a poor shot/hole. This mindset really made me fall in love with golf as soon as I tried it.
Yes:) i loved that the answer needed repeating three xs. And my respons is that you are worthy. You are loved. And you are important!!! This was my mantra that got me out of the dark. Loved his response. Beautiful episode💚💚💚
I swear these putters are made by witchcraft lol. Tried my buddy’s DF 2.1 for the first time yesterday, and just like in Bill’s demonstration it didn’t matter where I hit the ball off the face. Dead center, off the toe, or off the heel, the ball started on its line, rolled true, and fell over the center of the cup. It was unreal.
Missed this yesterday due to match play event and this happened to me. My driver went off the rails and I was unable to get it back! Experienced anger at myself, self doubt, and hopelessness that trickled down through all my clubs
Came in 2nd my tournament! Shot 75 today. Lowest ever in a state event! I really went through my tendencies after the podcast and came up with a plan to put into action on the course if they showed up so I wouldn’t get so frustrated and lost. And it worked like magic!! Thank you!!!
