Most golfers play with hindsight. You hit a bad shot, look back, and think about what you should have done. The Scoring Method flips that around. It gives you foresight. It is like having a great caddy by your side on every hole.

In this playing lesson I break down the two games inside the Scoring Method, the four gears of course management, and the simple rules that keep you out of trouble. The goal is not just hitting greens in regulation. The goal is getting into the scoring zone and then getting down in three. That is how you eliminate double and triple bogeys and finally start playing steady golf.

If you want to lower your scores, stop wasting shots, and learn how to manage the course with more confidence, this is the video for you.

you need a better course management strategy. And today we’re going to learn one. It’s called the scoring method. And uh we’re here with this guy so you can learn about it. When does hair and makeup show up? Yeah, you don’t have any hair. Oh, okay. Well, that’s good enough to know. I think I think nowadays there are so many good apps out there that do so much great data, strokes gained, all this information. And what it is to me is it’s all it’s all hindsight, right? It’s like well done, you shouldn’t hit an eight iron, you shouldn’t hit driver, and you suck at putting. What we need is foresight. We need to become a better caddy. A great caddy gives you foresight. What is the shot I should play? Here’s what we’re going to do today. We’re going to play three holes. On the first hole, we’re going to learn the two games that are part of the method. On the second hole, we’re going to learn the 10 rules of scoring. Yep. In the third hole, we’re going to talk about how all this scales for different levels of golfers cuz I’ve helped friends that are trying to break 90. Um, and I use this myself as I’m scratch trying to shoot better scores. It’s all about lowering tension, understanding how to play the game so you can actually score. All right, let’s do it. Let’s play a hole. Welcome to my home club. This is Summerby. Uh, this is the place I hang out. It’s pretty great. We’re at on 16. We’re on the back nine dodging all the traffic, right? And so early morning. 16. What are we What are we at? Like 4 uh 4:30? I don’t know. Yeah, 4:30. This is the second toughest hole on Second. Okay. Yeah. So, uh, I’m just going to bomb driver, right? Give it a rip. Let’s see how it goes. Let me uh I’ll show you how I implement the scoring method. It’s It’s different when it’s your home course, right? Well, if I hit like that, you know what else would you do? Okay. So, Cody, the first thing that I want people to understand is like the first goal is get into the scoring zone. Not get into the green regulation. Get into the scoring zone. I call the scoring zone 100 yards. All right, safe ball. Hey friends, this video is sponsored by Hule. You might asking yourself, what kind of Hule will fuel me? Well, let me tell you. So, what I have today is the Hule Black Edition Strawberry Shortcake. Quite a good flavor. Uh, before heading to the course here, shaking it up. So, the great thing about this is like they’ve thought it all through. It has the proteins, the fibers, all the vitamins that you need, so you have a healthy meal. So, obviously, super fast to make it healthy, and the kicker is super affordable as well. $2.65 a meal. So, hey, instead of running and grabbing some crappy food on the way to the course, this, my friends, is a better option. So, if you want to give it a try yourself, use our code golf 15 to get 15% off your next order. Uh, make sure to use that because hey, one of our video guys here on the team bought some and didn’t use the code. So, don’t be like him. Uh, he’s enjoying it. He likes the hule, but he didn’t use the code. You should use the code. There’s a QR code, a link, all that good stuff down below. Get some fuel. So, the two games that you’ve taught me, we’ve got entering the scoring zone. So, I got to get it inside 100 yards in two shots. So, on every T box minus 100. This is first gear, by the way. For those of you who are three or four handicap and think, “Oh, this isn’t going to work for me.” I’m going to show you right now how to take double bogeies off of your scorecard forever, which you should be paying me tens of thousands of dollars for that because that’s the reason why you’re a five instead of a two or a two instead of a scratch is because you’re posting doubles and triples, right? And they ruin your scorecard. But if we can get inside the scoring zone, that’s what we’ve done. We’re going to show you here. And then the second part, the second game is can you get down in three right now for again low handicap so I got to get in two. No, no. I’m showing you how to make a bogey at worst. It’s first gear golf. We’re going to show you the four gears, but for that 90 shooter, it’s look, take the pressure off, put driver away, put the ball down the fairway, get inside of 100, get on the green two putt, make a bogey. That would be a great score. And we’re going to start getting rid of the big numbers. I I love breaking the game down into two games, too, cuz then it gives you different things to focus on as you go throughout this hole as well. Let’s go some shots. Let’s do it. So, where’ the square method come from? Like, how did you come up with this idea? Well, the complete opposite. I built an entire stat program for every piece of data that you could ever have, right? and it was way too complicated. And then I just started to build it out into this into this idea of like, you know, how do we use this to eliminate the big numbers uh and just start to focus on keep the ball in play, get in the scoring zone, and then from there you can score. Yep. So the first game entering the scoring zone, you’ve kept your ball in play. I’m in play. You’re 190 out. Yeah. So if I go 91 yards right now, I’m going to get a check on my scorecard. Yeah. And again, let’s just say I was in those trees over there in thick rough and I could pitch it out 91 and get in the scoring zone. Way to go. Like I’m I’m in the scoring zone. I get a check. And on the scorecard, you physically write down I’ll go ahead and show you. So on the scorecard, I would say it took me two to get in the scoring zone. Check mark. Okay. But as we said, we’re going to show you the gears of the game. So for me, can I get inside of 100? Yeah. 10 out of 10 times. I could just hit a sandwich and not get in there. Could I get inside of 50? Right. So that’s level scorecard two. Right. And again, for some of you, it’s a little bit more advanced, but again, we’re giving you crash course in this. Can I get inside of 25? And then, can I get on the green? So, from 190 yards, no, I can’t get on the green eight out of 10 times from here. I just can’t. But I can get inside to 25 yards. So, my goal is to advance the ball as far down as I possibly can to give myself the best opportunity to get down in three. And that’s what I love about Mark Brody’s stuff is I remember asking Brody, you know, where he said people always trying to go to par fives and two and he’s like, “Yes, but you’re taking data from the PGA tour. Go as far as you can staying in play.” Right? So to me right now, I’m going to obviously if I’m hit it to the left, I’ve lost my golf ball. So I’m going to aim way right out at that bunker and I’m going to go ahead and take a club that won’t get me to the bunker and I’m going to be about 25 yards short of the green. So I’m in the scoring zone. Okay, totally fine. So again, the goal here is advance it as far down as you possibly can while being in play. Now that game is over, I’ve got to check on my scorecard. If I hit it in the water, I’m putting an X. The whole that game’s over. It’s done. Now we’re going to go and get down in the scoring zone. Yep. Yeah. I mean, that’s the first thing that people need to understand is keeping the ball in play at all costs. At all cost. Right. Yeah. Tool players don’t hit it out of bounds. It’s like it’s very very rare they hit it out of bounds. And so again, gives you the opportunity to go ahead and keep the ball in play and it keeps the big numbers off of the scorecard. You’re not going to compound the problem cuz that’s the the way you get an X on the first game is by hitting it in the water, hitting out of bounds, right? Like that’s Yeah. Or I suppose if you topped two in a row or something like that, right? But realistically, yeah, it’s going to be because you you put it so far out of play, you couldn’t advance the ball down to within 100. Yeah. Which means you play too aggressive. Yeah. 76. 76. Okay. What do I need? What do I need to do here? Okay. So, again, you’re already inside the scoring zone. So, I got to check because I did it. You already got a check mark. So, you’re going to go ahead. Let’s grab your scorecard. Took him one to get in. Boom. Now, your goal from here, level one, is to get down in three from here. That’s going to give you a par, right? So, let’s go ahead. Let’s see a great one in there. Easy. Easy enough. 76. Did I do it? I think we did it. Come on. Oh, come on. Nifty biscuit. All right. I am sure of that bunker. Should be short. Okay. Great shot in there, Cody. Thank you. So, stayed short of the bunker, like I said. Now, Cordy, what I tend to see, right? We’ve got the new game now. Yeah. So, what I want everybody to think is you’re going to play 18 par threes. Okay. Right. You’re going to be inside the 100. So, I look at as a dart board. Okay. So, the the bullseye is hitting the green regulation. The best players in the world do that 13 times a round. If you hit the little green circle, that’s with inside of 25 yards. Very easy to get up and down. If you hit the triples, right, and we’ll put a dartboard image on this, right? That would be inside of a 50. And if you hit inside the dart board, it’s inside the doubles. If you miss the dart board and hit somebody walking out of the bathroom, that’s an point is as you as you get into this, I’m actually not inside a 25. I’m inside a 50. It’s to the hole, right? Okay. And so here here’s what I see the amateur doing, right? Okay. I’ve got to I’ve got to open the face up on this. I’ve got to hit a good one. I’ve got to get it. And they’re going to plug it in the face of the bunker. I mean, this is a great opportunity for a double right here. It’s absolutely or or or they thin it over the green, but they try and hit that impossible shot. You got another ball on you? Uh, let me get another ball. Okay. So, so what I would prefer to see is take that flag out of all I got to do is get down in three. Right. So, I’m going to aim 15 yards right of this flag and I’m going to fly it onto the green and just literally play myself away from the hole and I’ve Oh, wow. It’s moving towards the hole. I didn’t didn’t really see that. So, I’ve now got a 10-footer, which is great. But but you get what my point is they’re playing way too much risk as level one and then my scratch golfer is playing too much risk because you realize you’re shortsided here. Don’t try and be a hero. Try and get inside of 10 feet and take your medicine. So the idea here is like I said a lot of people say, “Well, that’s great for bogey golfers. How does a scoring method work for me?” It’s like it’s about picking the right shot at the right time. And and what I think is a lot of people they want to say, “Hey, I’m super confident.” I’m like, “Look, your competency level is here and your confidence level is here. That’s fact, right? I I 100% think that conservative chipping is a good idea. I’m all on board for that. Yep. And I think this is like you just showed. I know so many guys. I mean, I played this hole 100 times. Yeah. Doubles are rampant on this on this hole, right? Because they go over there and they leave it in the bunker, they go long over here, and it’s just constant that like those those kinds of shots. And so, you know, for me, I’ve now got this putt, right? And so again, here’s what I see the, you know, the 18 and above handicapper do. I’m going to put my real ball down, okay? Is they try and make this one and if they miss it, they get frustrated. But let’s just take a look. One, two, three, four, five. Okay, my question to all the comment to everyone watching right now is on the PGA Tour from right here 8 feet. What does a PGA Tour player make? Come on, guess, you can put it in the comments below. 50%. So the best players in the world are 50% from here. From 12 feet, you know, they’re down at sort of what 25%. And just to remember, we’re not the best players in the world. Neither are you. And these aren’t the best greens in the world. So my point is is that I’m trying to two putt this. All I’m trying to do is get a good length on it. And if it goes in, that’d be great. But I don’t think it will. And you might think it’s negative. I’m just saying it’s realistic that if I can just advance this ball down there, cozy it up by the hole and make my bogey, I’ve done I’ve done what I need to do. Okay, easy done. Thought that was going to go in. So for me, that’s a check mark entering the scoring zone. Down in three inside the scoring zone, I get another check mark. Yeah, I don’t want to say negative about that lab putter, but you’ve pulled that thing at least four times and we’ve only user error. Okay, so let’s come and take a look at the scorecard real quick. All right, I got down in three. Okay. Okay, I get a check mark. So, A + B equals C. 2 + 3 equals a five right there. Okay. Total putts, I had two. Okay, for you down in scoring zone, we’re down in three. So, then three plus one. Four. Yeah, four and then two putts. Two putts. Okay, perfect. The idea now is that you’re looking to just go and get checks. And the reason why I think this is so important is, you know, if I go two or three under and I’m I’m six, seven holes into it and I’m three and a par, my brain’s like, “Oh, you’re playing good. Don’t mess it up.” If I’m six over, I’m angry and frustrated and, you know, and I start to stress out. So, my thing is the numbers never help. But if it’s just go and find another check mark, and the thing is in golf, it’s like go and find another fairway. Well, that’s proven that you don’t have to hit a lot of fairways to to win on tour, right? Go and hit another green. Well, you’re not going to hit a lot of greens if you’re an 18 handicap. So, the stats that a lot of people are using, fairways and red, greens in red, aren’t going to help you to score. Is the ball in play? Yes. Did I get it down in three? Then you didn’t waste any strokes. You made a bogey or better. Yep. Okay. So, you might be asking like, how does this work for me if I’m a scratch golfer? We’re going to show you that in two holes. You got to stay around to learn. But first, we may even show some on the next hole. Oh, we might. Yeah. But we got two games, right? entering the scoring zone, get it inside a 100 yards in two shots. Can you do that? Yep. On a on a par four, one on a par three, three on a par five. Yep. Um, pretty easy. I think if you think about that, you think you can do it. Uh, you’re saying I would never not get a check, go try it. Can you do that for 18 holes? Yeah. Are you patient enough to not hit driver on the holes where you could get it in trouble? It’s not as easy as you think. All right. And then we got the down and three game is the next. So it doesn’t matter where you are necessarily inside of 100 yards can get down in three. Absolutely. There’s a lot of opportunities not to get down in three. Well, yeah. If you shortside yourself into that bunker or if you put yourself in thick rough. So the goal on the second shot isn’t just get inside of 100. It’s put myself in the best position to score. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. Let’s go to the next hole. [Music] The next thing that you’ve taught me, Will, is the rules of scoring. Right? We have rules of golf. We don’t really have any rules of like, hey, here’s how to actually score. To me, it’s about do you know what the keys of scoring are. So on the back of the scorecard, what it does is it gives you those 10 keys. And so to get foresight, you’ve got to start to think about if I break these rules like having penalty shots, not getting out of trouble, three putts, under clubing, playing risky shots, shortsighting. Yeah. Before you hit the shot, you’ve got to start to think about how could I break the rule. So when I come up on a hole like this, it would be okay, a penalty stroke. If I hit it short into that water, I’m getting a penalty strike. I’m going to break the rule. I will not get two check marks. How could I do that under club? Try and hit something really, really good. So So the mentality is in about being positive. It’s about being realistic and saying, I’ve got 145 yards. There’s tons of room. All I’ve got to do is get the sunset of 100. Now there’s a lake in front, so you could top it 50 yards and still get a check mark. But my thought would be is I’d be telling someone to go with their 155 club and try and knock it long left of that green. Yeah. Cuz you get a check mark and then it’d be very easy to chip onto the green and two putt and make your bogey. Does that make sense? Yeah. So mentality here is Yeah. You know, take the trouble out of play, play the extra club, hit it long. Yep. No, I think the rules of scoring do give you foresight because I think of other things like when I look at this, I’m thinking about shortsighting myself, right? So I don’t want to go longer the pin to the right because it says short and that bunk could be terrible. Yep. Yep. So, kind of want to look left of this hole is going to be where we’re going to aim because of that rule. What other rules might might I look at here? No, I just I mean, well, you know, playing the risky shot, right, I suppose, would be playing the right club if I hit it perfectly, which is also under clubbing, and then aiming at that flag stick and not avoiding it to the left, you know, I mean, and hitting it long right. Got it. All right, let’s hit some shots. Let’s do it. Here we go. All right, 145. We’re going to aim left of the flag. We’re going to hit a pitching wedge. We’re going to hit it well. Oh, that could be the hole in one. Nice shot there for the flag. Another good shot. Here we go. Just left of the flag. Pass the flag stick. Let’s do it in the scoring zone. So, there we go. one shot into the scoring zone. Okay, perfect. Didn’t break any rules. All right, so Cord, I’m what about what 30 30 plus feet? Yeah. Okay, so I’m going to go and look at the rules of scoring, right? And I’m going to look at obviously the ones that I could do here is three putt, right? That would be the one that would would mess it up. So to me, how would I three club this? I would play too aggressive and not enough break. So in my mind, I’m not going to make this putt, right? So I’m just going to go and play extra bl and really focus on the pace for my goal to be. Now I can still get down in three. I could still three putt this and make a bogey. Does it make sense? But that’s level scorecard one. As we go into level scorecard two, it’s no longer get down in three. It’s get down in two. But we’re going to talk about that on the next hole. Yeah. So again, you know, we’re not trying to be negative here, but we’re trying to be realistic of like know the error before you make it. And I think any expert what they do is they can foresee the problems, right? And that’s what most amateurs struggle with is that they don’t, oh, I shouldn’t have hit that club or oh, I should have played more break. That’s where they pace right here. What do you think the break is on this? You play here. Yeah. I mean, you’re going to be up up in here thinking, but you’re saying the air is going to be somebody that hits it way too hard and under and you’re going to be down here. Exactly. Don’t go in. Okay. But my point is if that had have missed that would have been what? Yeah. Like a foot a foot or two feet past the hole. So yes, sometimes they go in and you know, but the point being is I played the extra blade and I played the pace and yeah, okay. One in 100 those ones. I I love that. I mean, I like the idea of thinking about what what could go wrong on this and then make So, for example, for you, you could charge this one, right? You could charge this one and put it 4 foot by and then miss it. And you know, it’s not going to happen, I don’t think. But the point is is that, you know, are you really going to make this part? It’s 15 17 feet uphill. You know, you know, maybe maybe three out of 10. Maybe it would have looked too unrealistic. If they’ have both gone in, it would have been too unrealistic, right? So, knock that in. There we go. So, so really the the the thing that we’re talking about here is is that people have got to start to realize at the end of a round of golf when they take the scorecard and they look at the stats, what I want them to look at is where did you break the rules and start to realize you’re going to have a tendency. I don’t play enough club. I play too risky and I get penalty strokes. That’s why you shoot 87 and not 82. That’s why you shoot 79 and not 73. But you start to see trends where people will like continually have those same misses or those same errors happening. Got it. Got it. because you’re having students, they’re adding up. They’re saying, “Hey, I did this rule.” Anytime they don’t get a check mark. So, let’s go ahead and we’ll fill in our check marks here. I’ll happily fill in mine because it’s gonna look really good right here. So, I got one there and then that plus that is a two and I had I had one putt right there. Now, if you break a rule, what you would do is you come in and tally and go, “Hey, I three putted that hole.” And so, anytime you get an X, right, that’s when you’re going to do that. So, go ahead. I lost I got my balance there. Score card’s up there. Score card’s up there. Okay, great. and keep it together. So, you were saying what type of person does best with this? People that actually have the scorecard on them probably the best, you know. Okay. So, what what kind of player has had the most success that you’ve taught like the scoring method, too. Well, I don’t Yeah, I think to begin with, it’s it really is just to do with are you willing to accept it? And a lot of people don’t want to change. I’m just going to do it my way. Okay, we’ll keep playing the golf that you’re playing. But the people that are willing to say, okay, I’ll give it a go. and then get very quick results and realize I’ve never had a strategy. I’ve always played too aggressively. I’m not patient enough. I don’t know where to miss. I don’t Once they understand the numbers, then they embrace it. And that’s where, you know, someone who’s shooting 95 will drop to 85 in in a handful of sessions, which isn’t possible skill-wise. They were an 82 shooter with a 95 set mindset. Yeah. I think it’s really hard to have the discipline to take the changes necessary. 100%. It’s it’s it’s a simple concept. It’s not easy to do because you’ve got to be disciplined. You’ve got to take yourself through this process. [Music] Five uh 60 550. Well, that’s not Yeah. 550. Okay. First thing we’re going to think of, Ray, is that for the level one level one golfer, it’s not a 542 yard par five. It’s a 442 yard par five because you’ve got to get inside the scoring zone. And again, what what if most bogey golfers just realize that they took their handicap on the T- box. This is a par six. It’s not a very hard par six. No. Right. So, my point being is that’s for level one. Now, as we’re going to show the gears of the game, right? We we know the keys to scoring. You can’t lose a ball. So you definitely can’t miss this left cuz you’d lose a golf ball, right? So you look at sort of the negative first. Where can I not go? Where can I go? I can go down the middle or the right bunkers. It wouldn’t be the best, but it wouldn’t be the it wouldn’t be as bad as out of bounds. Now we’re going to go for the gears of the game. So the gears of the game are level one is 100. Level twos get inside of 50. Level threes get inside of 25. Level fours get on the green regulation. Short shortish par five for you. Long hitter. Of course your goal is level four hit. Your goal is have a birdie put here. Does that make sense? Yeah, if you plug it in the face of that bunker, you go from fourth gear to I got to get instead of 100. So, the gears of the game move as you go. The levels of the scorecard, they stay the same. So, you’re going to do your checks and X is the same, but every shot you have, you’re going to figure, can I be aggressive? Do I need to be extremely passive? All right, let’s see it. Great drive. How do you shoot over 70 the way you hit it? I mean, I don’t get it. Oh, it’s cuz you don’t score. or because you don’t have the scorecard with you, you ded. So, Cody, one of the challenges I have for everybody is before you good golfers move off of level scorecard one, play 72 holes and get into the scoring zone 72 holes in a row. So, for a tournament, Yeah. Right. Because what they’ll do is I can pull this shot off. Can you do it four days in a row? Because on tour, you got to do it four days in a row. So, my point being is I want to see you with whatever your go-to club. For me, it’s my two hybrid, right? And it’s can you put it in play 18 times around? Perfect. And the nice thing about that is like I’ve always got something to drop back to. Most people are like playing with their driver. Oh, please let it be in play. Please let me hit a good one versus I know I can put this in play. I’ve got my mini driver, which is my my level level three, and my level four is my driver. So, you have to be able to advance the ball very very tight hole. I might take a four on off the two box. So, I think this is an important point because somebody might say like, “I can’t. My hybrid’s not just as bad as my driver.” Okay. Have you ever trained your hybrid? Absolutely. You know what you’ve done is you’ve trained that hybrid to be that go-to club for you. No, you like if you have that argument, you have not practiced. Well, and the other thing is is that you’re also it’s it’s it’s not factual. It’s delusional because a driver with nine degrees of loft creates more spin, side spin, than backspin. So, the more loft you get, a sandwich doesn’t snap hook cuz it’s all backspin. So if you go and rent a bay, you know, on some piece of technology for Are there anyone that you want to throw in here? Is it Skyrack? We want to talk about Sky Track. I love Skyrack, right? Rap Sodo’s awesome. But if you go and hit 10 drivers and then 10 hybrids and 10 six irons, you will see your dispersion rate is completely different. It’s your six irons this, your three hybrids this, and your driver is this. So you can’t say, “Oh, I can’t ski down a bunny run, so I should go to a double black diamond.” No. Learn how to ski down a bunny run. Get face control over your shorter clubs. And then you’ve all got to train to prove to yourself that your dispersion with a four hybrid is not as wide as with the driver. It’s just not. I promise you that, you know. Yeah. No, I think that’s important cuz people are going to argue that. There you go. That’s the Thank you. argued for me. Like the important thing is understanding what gear I’m in. So yeah, like you vomit down the middle, the green is pretty open. Obviously, you’re going to try to hit the green and go for it. Yes. First gear, fourth. It’s fourth gear. Go for it. Yeah. If if I’ve hit it in the in the woods, I guess the natural reaction is to try to punch out towards the green. Get all the juice I can out of that shot. Yeah. Make up too much of the shot versus No, no, I’ve got it’s a par five. I’ve got four shots to make a par. Play it. Wedge it down to inside of 100. Not on the green. Doesn’t matter. Wedge on two. Make make a bogey. Who cares? It’s it’s the doubles and the triples that are going to kill you. What’s the easiest way to make a bogey? You just hit it 200 yards. Yeah. And if we did, look, the thing is, if we did this for $1,000 a hole, every check mark you got was a,000. People would actually do it cuz it’ be like a,000 bucks. I’d hit 9999. Well, then freaking hit 99999. Don’t hit driver and hit it into the junk. Do you know what I’m saying? So, it’s it’s one of those things if you really take it for serious, you start to realize like you’re making the game way too hard cuz they see everybody on tour hitting driver. Yeah. Because they want to see 392 yard drives. They don’t show you Rory hitting four iron off of three T’s and threewood off of four T’s. Yeah, they show you hitting bomb driver on the holes that he’s bombing driver. So like they’re not showing him hit driver that gets in the fairway at 290. They’re showing the 390 yard shot like my 390 yard shot that I’m about to hit here in two. So I’m going to go for that bunker on the left. Good for the ads. 197 and Okay. So I’m 200 yards that bunker on the left. So to me is this isn’t the right club to play cuz if I miss it a little bit left, I’m in that bunker. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, to me, again, it’s not about how What’s your goal right now? Are you just trying to get to 100 yards or what do you Well, no, cuz I’m I’m here in two, right? I don’t need to get to I don’t need to get to the 100. I can get there in one more shot than this. So, my point is I don’t even need to. I’m going to aim up at the cart path on the right and just hit down the right side of the fairway and put myself in. I’m just trying to show that that that the you golfer that can hit something out here. How far do I hit this? 210. Yeah. So, put something out there 210. For some of you, that might be a driver. For some of you, it might be a six iron. Now, I’m going to go ahead and just try and put it down the uh put it down the right side here. Yeah. So, right where I want. Great. And I don’t care if it’s out of the 100. You know what I mean? My point being is I’m in a position to score. Yeah. And here we go. Let’s go. Uh find your bomb. The funniest thing about speed training is that I’ve learned that I have two swings now. I have a like 120 club head swing and but then like a lot of times I just lay back and I do I know like I can carry it 285 115 club head speed and it feels like I’m just really Yeah. Yeah. How far is this drive you think? Well, this one rolled out but this this is a long way. This this one carried 290 I guess. And how far do you think this drive is? Oh, 340 maybe. You know, 230. Uh, I’m just going to hit a five iron. It’s on the back, so probably 200 to the front. Yep. What’s your target? So, no. Now, let’s look. 10 keys to scoring. Okay. First of all, 10 keys. Where can you absolutely not go? Left. Left, short, left is dead, right? Okay. So, you know, you can go long and right, correct? Okay. So, the next thing would be, okay, so now let’s get gears of the game. You have 10 shots from here. Can you get how many can you get inside of 100 yards from two, how far? 230. 230. How can you get 10 of 10? Of course. How many get inside of 50? 10 of 10. Okay. Had an insert of 25. 10 of 10. I think 10 out of 10 within 25 yards of the flag. Oh. Of the flag. Uh cuz that’s the right edge of the green. No. Yeah. No. Right edge. My target’s probably the right edge of green. So this is level. This is gear three. Gear three. This is not trying to hit the green because if you try and hit the green, you’re going to get a little bit left. Could come up short. Could kick left into the water. So the point is, can I get it inside of 25 yards? Take it onto that right corner of the green. So, do you see how you’re pick out of it? I would say for most people it’s 8, but really 90% would be great. But 80% of the time, can you do it eight out of 10 times? You hear Phil Mickelson talk about that a lot. Y aim at the right edge of screen. Let’s see a good one. Okay. Oh yeah, there it is. Okay. How good was that? Yes. Card path. Is it up on the Is it Is it in in play? It is in play. It was nearly on the patio. Unfortunately, we’re not going to play from the patio today. So, this is my point. Here’s a guy who just told you No, we’re going to go to the next shot. We’re going to go hit this inside of 25 yards 10 out of 10 times and he just hit it 75 yards from the flag stick. So, my point is even as you get better, you got to understand, let me Well, here’s a question for you. From 200 yards out on the PJ tour, what are they average hitting? What’s the club that they hit from 200 yds? Six iron probably. Six to seven. Right. Okay. What’s the average distance from the hole for the best players in the world from 200 yards? How many feet? Uh 60. 60 ft from the hole. That’s 60t left and 60 foot right. So they have 120 foot dispersion. Okay. Are you one of the best players in the world? Close. I mean, but you you see everybody’s expectation is I should be able to put this on the green. It’s like no no no. What I should do is just try and get in a position where I can score. And you’re in a position where you can score. But it was a huge miss. But you didn’t hit it out of bounds. You didn’t lose a golf ball. Yeah. Right. Well, I think the miss would have been left, right? If that ball would have gone left that much. Yeah. It’s a penalty. All right. Let’s go and find if you injured anybody up there. Are there any injuries from that golf shot? I thought you’d landed on the freaking car. I thought you hit it up into the It hit the carpet. I thought you hit it up over the OB. I was like, “Oh my lord.” I was like, “All right, what do we got here?” Captain use my captain Spectacular. Uh 169 168. The pin’s way back. All right. So I’m 170 again in my mind. Where can I absolutely not go? Where’ the penalty be? Shortsided left. There’s penalty and there’s short-sided left. So my thought would be the tree on the right where that guy is in the background. 170 yards. Are we trying to hit the green? Uh no. 25 yards. If I tug it left by mistake, then yes, I’ll be on the green. But I think just to that far right tree is just fine. Right. Where I was aiming called it. Perfect. Great shot. Pin high. And there we go. Now again, for for some of the players that maybe don’t hit it as good as that, could they advance something down there with a hybrid and get it short right of the green? Yes, of course they can. They get a check mark. Now, can you get down in three? So again, now I get to go ahead fill out the scorecard. Now, one thing I want to explain for the more advanced golfers. So again, it’s a par five. It took me three to get into the scoring zone, but I’m on the green. Okay. And then what do I get down it? Now, the level of the scorecard, right? If we did level one, it’s entering the 100. I I play level three, so it’s inside of 25 yards, right? And then on the second row cord, you and I, it’s down in two, not down in three. So, what you start to realize now is on that first hole, I got an X right there. I didn’t get a check for for the higher levels. But again, this is where I tell people to go and look at the full scoring method. I mean, we’re giving you a 20minute version of a of a of an intent of a full course. Yeah. So that’s where the scorecard really develops because the big part about the scorecard everybody is it builds your practice. I think one of the things that people struggle with at the end of the round, oh I played terrible cuz they hooked their last two T- shots versus no, how many times did you get down in two, 12, how many times you get down in three, 16. Okay, well you got homework to do on those. So it takes the emotion out of it and gets people to work on the right things. So the levels of the scorecard define your purposeful practice. The gears of the game define what shot you should be hitting in front of you. Absolutely makes sense. Yep. All right, let’s go and apologize to these members. See how they’re doing. Oh, there’s there’s the there’s the there’s the medical cart. Let’s check in on their lunch. See if we can grab a fry. If you are enjoying this, uh Will has made an entire course that you can go through, all the details, all the stuff. You might even see myself hopping in there. You never know. Many of it. Yeah. Um we’re going to go ahead on with the cart curl in the middle of this ad. So, check out the scoringmethod.com. Um, and yeah, it’s really all about implementing all we’re talking about and really showing you the steps of how to build out a purpose or practice plan, how to train hard so you can start to enjoy playing easy out on the golf course cuz scoring method golf, we’re going to need to move forward a little bit cuz you’re going to have to lob it over that car if you stay here just because that’s where his ball is. Um, but it really makes the game enjoyable because you learn how to play easy and train hard. Um, so yeah, check it out. scoring method.com. So, first thing to think about right here, Cordy, then is what can you not do? You don’t want to get a penalty stroke. Yeah. Right. You cannot hit. You can’t hit this one long. You don’t want to short your side yourself, which would be long. Okay. So, you don’t want to play a risky shot. So, I’m not suggesting a flop shot from here. So, what shot are you seeing? I mean, probably bump and run. Lands into the fringe and just chases up. Yep. Exactly. Okay. He doesn’t want me to do the flop shot, huh? No, I agree with that. Here we go. Very nice. Sit. Sit. Sit. That’s good, isn’t it? We get a soft bounce. Hit it. Sit. Man, that is quick. That is so quick. All right, we can deal with that. Let’s see what we have over here. Okay, so again, all about pace right here. Just getting the pace. That’s the focus. No plan on making it. Didn’t break. Stayed dead straight. It’s a good putt though. Crossing. [Music] Almost. [Music] I tried to not play the risky shot there for you. Yeah. Will. I don’t know if you saw that. That was a putter. All right, let’s get my check. I got to make this. Yes. Well done, my boy. Well done. All right, knock it in. Yeah. All right. So, simple as that. Oh, we we’re doing a handshake. Oh, a handshake. We’re doing a handshake. But but again, I mean, I think what I want to show here is for the golfer who’s, you know, out there stressed out of their mind. The emotional round of golf where double and then a birdie and then in the trees and then out of the trees is like, I mean, look how simple this is. It’s just knock it down the fairway, knock it down the fairway, hop on, tw. Yeah, I got lucky on the last hole and made a birdie, but we’re even par. You were even par. And it’s Yeah, you know, it’s it’s just learning that first gear is really what we need to work on. I think every golfer needs a strategy and needs some intention when they come into a round. And hopefully today they got some they got some ideas of two games to play. Got some ideas of some rules of what to stay away from. Um and then how to like approach each shot. So it’s really good. And then change your training. I would say change your training. Start going out on the back nine or front back n early in the morning, front nine late at night. pay the 20 bucks for a green feet and go and play golf and start to do this consistently with maybe even three golf balls and start to prove to yourself lob shot from there over the isn’t the play. It’s a pitch into the hill. You know, getting better at putting the ball in play. You’ve got to start to train in a different way so you get better better scores on the on the golf course. And I don’t think working on technique will transfer to the golf course, but I think working and training will transfer to the course. Love it. Thanks, dude. Appreciate you sharing this. Awesome. Pleasure. See you. See you. See you. Oh, boy. Good, right? That was awesome. [Music]
