That’s not good I’m going to go bankrupt Cameron we’re not going to penalize You so you mentioned you have some objectives coming up the golf course those objectives would be stated how bullet point form MH um expectation management uh self-critical and my PO routine got it so inside of that we’d best be able to assess those things under some level

Of duress or stress right so let’s play a game what are you accustomed to playing with your peers your teammates on the golf course playing for money okay so let’s play for money so you should be rewarded for offense right cuz you need to be able to make four four

And a half five birdies per round so every birdie earns your reward okay what’s a reward that would be satisfactory to you $5 five let’s make it 50 okay so $50 per birdie you be penalized for a bogey right should be proportionate yeah it’s ping pretty tough

Today you to be rewarded for a bogey or penalized for a bogy oh sorry P penalized for a b you’re going to be penalized for a bogey should it be proportionate to the reward for a birdie from where I’m at in my game now where I’m trying to get to making less

Bogies like bogey avoidance and double bogey avoidance I’m trying to should hurt more shouldn’t it yeah yeah let’s make it hurt more yeah let make it 75 for a bogey okay on top of that mhm there’s another game within a game okay and that’s that game is reflected in uh

Stats on the PGA and LPGA Tour which is bounce back or reverse bounce back so if you do happen to make a bogey if you bounce back with a birdie on top of that it’s 100 for that next birdie okay nice right yeah so if you can bounce back

Like PGA Tour players do then you cover up in fact you double up from the um well not quite cost right the opposite is true as well though okay if you follow a birdie with a bogey then it’s a $100 loss geez okay okay yeah right and Bogies on top of

Bogies that’s not good I’m going to go bankrupt Cameron we’re not going to penalize you on top of that okay so blowing a hurricane out here first hle he’s go he already selected a club and he’s going back to the bag for another cl5 yes sir you don’t know pin location

I don’t can you tell me yeah you could course of course yeah we’re playing for how I didn’t know if how much you want to take my money so We’re Playing for Keeps it’s less about me wanting to take his money it’s more about me trying to

Expose the type of inv or the type of person that we’d be playing under some level of direct like competitive play yeah you think it’s fair Al yeah okay perfect what club we going with 155 into the wind yeah I’m playing it 175 low trajectory grade it I hadn’t observed the ball

Flight before you s asked me grade it okay I was talking about grading the performance real quick cuz I’m I’m trying I’m trying to keep you in a place where you can manage this yeah and it’s reasonable to expect that if we can manage the ball flight we must be

Managing the movement better yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I would have given that A B minus yeah okay this is like death down here yeah thanks thanks for the heads up shot did that one come out as intended cuz the t- shot came out exactly as

Intended right so the reason you’re in a bad situation down there is because the intent what the the plan for the shot wasn’t accurate enough and it wasn’t accurate enough because you didn’t have full information did you yeah now that is wait wait wait whilst that’s on us

Not providing information it’s on you for not asking enough questions to know where should I land this in order to get closer the whole sure and so for future reference as we move forward so you’re earning money not paying me ask more questions yeah good save Che well done thanks well

Done Nice Shot Che we’ve got a cover at probably 15 short there’s a little down slope there um if you fight all the way to the hole it is mostly into the grain so it should stop relatively quickly how many from the left or right you’ve got middle you probably have 15

Left you see the right edge of that bunker over there yeah yeah and then the left edge of the right bunker is the right edge of the green which will also kick it down into the left so okay so basically anything in that green grass you see up there should

End up on the GRE yeah good line back Edge probably yeah okay let’s go how soon did you know it was Gass and three poble pass soon off the face eror detection kicking pretty soon pretty soon yeah kind of a little bit rough what’s a picture do you

Putt to what a picture do you put to what’s what do you PCH to a pitcher oh P yeah s you stand over it with some sort of picture of where it’s going to roll yeah the pace it’s going to roll either through a point or to a

Point with that all happens in my think box behind the ball oh my God it’s not in your play box no oh my God it needs to be in your play box there is there is as I trace tracing the Curve that’s in okay all of the decision making is done

In my oh sure sure yeah yeah Thee the pre-planning is back there yeah but the execution is more often not informed by the piture you’re creating cuz that piture is Direction and also the force do you agree yeah and so that picture is how much speed is this ball going to be

Rolling in the hole with perhaps right is it going to be dripping over the edge is it going to be hitting the back Ed captured yeah we got action we got action down 50 we got to bounce back now so you see this orange stuff that’s kind of

Sticking out about 80 yards 90 yards out there that’s kind of your Center okay and then right edge of left bunker left edge of right bunker 127 okay we’re trying to land it all the way there’s even with the where the low trajectory yeah one or two short so 127

124 so the wind is in off the right 10 Mile now yeah I’d say it hurts with a low trajectory 6 to8 okay so that 124 goes to 130 yeah I was thinking a low I don’t think it’s really going to jump that lie so like a low 130 should yeah low

130 you might like it we might get some bounceback money here nice job up 25 256 241 okay so we need to cover 241 I should try so there’s the wind probably Landing in just a couple short of the hole 255 call it okay where’s our wind down off the

Right yeah not a ton of it yeah kind of like 4:00 almost yeah I’m feeling cuz if I hit a fade it’s going to be quite fighting almost into it what do we have behind it cam we’ve got a lot behind it plenty behind 25 yep plenty behind it let’s not play any

Help because we’re trying to get it there right so 255 just play 255 normal especially if it’s going to cut yeah better win come on stay up as soon did you know that one was 15 ft short soon as it got to the top of the

Hill so in your brain off the club phase you thought yep I hit it at a speed that’s going to get it around the hole Yeah I thought yeah just didn’t Factor enough wind and not enough did you have a a clear picture of that ball being around the

Hole before you hit it yeah yeah did yeah okay so 192 there’s a little slope that’ll kind of release this down to the hole I think it’s probably eight short so 92 you said so 84 is our Target to land we’ve got wind you think just straight behind us

Yeah a bit off the left okay so 184 10 yeah I’d say I’d say eight or so so 76 76 yeah okay what iron is that this is a seven handy win 25 or lose 50 right here it’s right so you mentioned like post shot stuff I think it it could continue until

We get here as a caddy this was something that I wish I had learned when I was in college you landed that what is that probably seven short yeah so that’s 85 and it didn’t release at all so you can take that with you if you were

Playing 18 holes you know now okay we didn’t need to land at seven short cuz it’s not going to release seven with a full seven IR wind and then there’s a hole over there that it’s the same direction the wind’s going to face the same direction so you’re going to know

Kind of how it affected it right we could have played either less wind or we could have tried to hit it farther and if you’re if you do that on the second hole the third hole the fourth hole by the time you get to 17 18 you know how

Far the wind is affecting each shot M and you know how far a lot of your clubs are going in that specific moment yeah that was one thing that like as a caddy you have to do I can tell Harry hey three holes ago we had the same wind

Direction you’re seven iron you nutted it it went 195 or whatever it was so you can kind of use that as a baseline the rest of the day similar to the shot you hit on the par three that air meld the green we probably could have had a

Little bit less for elevation stuff but the wind didn’t really touch it yeah right so you can kind of use that as a gauge like okay we were playing 15 yards of wind on that hole and we didn’t get it so if we have a straight end of the

Wind shot coming up up and you’re going to flight it again yeah maybe just go to 10 yeah so on course process the process as long as it reflects what we started to see as we stopped talking about other stuff unrelated to performances we got through

Those first two holes yeah I like okay the more information you gather the more accurate the choices that you’re going to make and the more rewarded you’ll get for the quality of execution that you can demonstrate yeah the expectations they simply need to be high you play

Around and are around other if when you do when you are around other worldclass players you’ll recognize that they have expectations yeah that are super mistake intolerant they expect the best and it’s a double-edged sword they’ll often times uh carry on being mistake in tolerant because it strives or causes

Them to strive and work hard to Chisel out the small differences between um a 25 foot miss or a 40 foot Eagle attempt versus having something inside of 30 feet so at the top of the pyramid the difference between number one versus number 25 in the world versus

Number 100 in the world it’s small and given that those differences are that small it demands that your work and also your attitude towards Excellence always be high the other side of that is that there is a um eror forgiveness almost a mistake Amnesia that they have that

Allows them to work hard to trim the fat on the things that prevent them from hitting excellent shots uh that they’ll they won’t carry the burden of or the weight away from poor shots as much as sometimes others do so this mistake Amnesia is almost a superpower

So um navigate that pathway is difficult and we’ll continue to talk about those things uh that kind of anchors to your self critical piece there doesn’t it yeah and then the post shot routine I think Al synchronize that point really Co all right how are you 25 you doing thanks m

  1. The bounce back rules are awesome. Now if only I could get out there for a lesson. The swing needs wooooork.

  2. Loving this content and the mindset discussion so much more to this great game than technique of swing and contact. So applicable to so many other professional endeavours well!

  3. Really great video! Loved the questions you asked immediately after a “miscue” on the green, and the process of having a think-box and visualizing the ball near the hole. I sometimes find myself more focused on the line and speed and visualizing that than actually picturing the ball by the hole. Going to try and implement this in my own game and we’ll as the playing rules!
