hello ladies and gentlemen I’m Jimmy
with Tropicana golf I just got back from
Pebble Beach where we had Battle of
California Battle of California is the
Tropicana Southern California chapter
goes and battles golf matches against
NorCal golf guys we do it every year we
pick a different course it is so fun
it’s a lot of wine and a lot of alcohol
and a lot of cigars a lot of golf but a
lot of fun
and when you’re in that kind of scenario
it’s hard to play good golf I didn’t
play good golf I had a lot of fun but I
didn’t play good golf why because I was
hyperfocused on the wrong things I was
just trying to grind and like what’s my
club head doing and what where’s my body
and H and it’s exhausting it’s
exhausting because you’re exhausted and
now you’re exhausting your
mind it wasn’t until the 14th
hole on the final
day where it clicked I’m standing next
to my partner Ricky Hunter and I told
him this and I’m going to share it with
you right after
this okay
so I pumped this drive on 14 at Pacific
Grove great shot awesome perfect I come
back to Ricky Hunter the lighthouse is
behind us I go Rick you know what I
thought of there he goes
what I
said crispy crust cheese pizza he goes
what I said I saw a video earlier today
on my way here the guy picked up a piece
of pizza
and you just heard the crudge of the
crust oh that’s so good so
smooth I stood over the ball I was just
thinking of that and I swung the club
that’s it I just swung it wasn’t
thinking about what my hands were doing
wasn’t thinking about what my body was
doing wasn’t thinking about where my
head was going or where it was in my
stance I just hit it I just swung the
club the next shot I had 50 yards I
pumped this ball and guess what just
swung the club 5et missed the putt but
easy par next hole par
three swung the club one after that
swung the club I went one under from
that on that point on didn’t think one
thing so am I telling you to stop
thinking
kind of kind of let me explain when you
get over the ball you can’t be full of
thoughts you can’t start controlling
every
motion no think of the general idea the
general idea is to go here and then to
go
there that’s it the general idea is not
to go here and then this way or this way
the general idea of the golf swing is to
turn
back and turn
forward and I was missing out on that
because I was tense I was doing too much
I’m going to play this hole it’s a par
four dog leg left I’m going to turn back
and turn
forward at a medium crispy crust Pace
ready turn back turn forward
so
good it’s so good I couldn’t hit a shot
like that I couldn’t do it I could not
do it balls were going left balls were
going right I had all kinds of weird
shots coming in the wind and I was super
focused and oh why is it going so far
and what because I was doing too much
man I was doing too much I have to
just turn back and turn forward at the
same speed I don’t care who you’re
playing with I don’t care what’s going
on stick to
this stick to it and you’ll see how well
it works trust me I got through those
final six
holes like I said one under didn’t think
about the golf swing once
I played two days before that and all I
thought about was everything that my
body was doing and what
to hinge and and holding and pinning my
arm AC it was it was look at this dead
center of the Fairway I
have I don’t know 150 yards let’s say
okay yeah it’s call it 150 there’s a
little wind I’m going to hit a little
nine iron and I’m going to hit it short
of the green
hopefully okay I’m not going to do
anything I’m not going to think about
anything I’m just going to what was it
turn back and from here turn
forward what’s the general idea of the
Swing turn
back turn
forward don’t do too much turn back turn
forward 32 one fire
wow just just
wow
just just wow I mean that’s all I can
say when you break things
down into individual little segments
dude think about how much can go
wrong it it’s crazy
you know like you’re overdoing it you’re
overthinking that happens in a lot of
things
relationships
business just think of the general idea
man what are you doing what are you
trying to do you’re trying to hit a golf
ball why would you have all these stupid
thoughts you’re not flying to the Moon
that you know that that probably
requires a lot
of intense
math and numbers
and you know you’re flying through outer
space in a place that’s crazy you better
be spot on this whatever man look just
hit the ball just hit the ball or swing
the club don’t even hit the ball just
swing the
club just swing it stop thinking so much
here we go we have a putt
uphill here’s all I’m going to do
now yes there’s a way to putt for for
sure all I want to know is two
things which way is the ball going to go
and how far am
i which way is the ball going to go I
straddle the line I feel all my weight
over here Ball’s going to go that way
how far am I I’m this far do I need to
swing as hard as I can absolutely not
I’m this far what does that mean this
far just this far I’m tossing a ball to
the hole that’s gonna break that
way I’m tossing a ball to the hole
that’s going to break that way if I was
going to toss a ball I wouldn’t go like
this I’d go like this like
bowling watch it’s going to break that
way and this far away Bowl it three two
one
oh very close it’s a good putt though it
almost caught a piece can you see it
yeah you can see it okay hey you got to
finish your pars here right tournament
mode now I have a little little tap in
you should never miss this putt how just
stand here look down at the ball and tap
it don’t do too much just tap the ball
and follow
it those are easy that one yeah whatever
you’re going to make one out of maybe
two out of 10 it’s a birdie putt but
whatever okay look easy par right let’s
go to the next hole continue the mindset
think about that crunchy crispy crunch
of that crust I’m telling you I don’t
know why don’t know how that video
popped in my head but I remember telling
Rick I go you know what I thought right
there he thought I was crazy but he also
did say oh sounds so good then he went
on to say I want some
spaghetti but those are the thoughts
that you have to have when you’re
playing golf I feel I feel that over
complicating
things and overanalyzing oh man that’s a
death trap cuz you can’t you can’t
overanalyze you can continue to analyze
forever and when does it end when does
it stop your knees your wrists your head
your elbows your back your butt like oh
my god dude you’re not going to get
everything
perfect
just general
idea general idea the general idea is to
swing the golf club around your body at
a medium pace Here We Go part five look
at this course look at awesome wow
nice job
boys and gals there is a gal that works
here very appreciative the work they’re
doing general idea is what swing the
club around your
body
here correct is this around my
body is this around my body around you
ever played tetherball as a kid here’s
tetherball just go around your
body line up take the tension out of
your arms swing the club around your
body dead middle of the
Fairway I need to go back and
play this weekend
again it’s just it’s a shame because I’m
such a big advocate of less do less and
I got out there and I tried to do
more I really did I shot 83 and
79 but it was
unnecessary like totally
unnecessary I could have
just hit the ball just swing the club
I was trying to get all these crazy
numbers and analyzing for when and yeah
you kind of have to do that
but just swing it just swing the club
what’s going to happen’s going to happen
just go I was trying to knock down shots
and stop it just stop just hit the ball
man and hurry up because there’s people
behind you okay let’s
see and I thought that was really good
what happened oh there it
is all right not too bad it’s four feet
off the Fairway I mean four yards
whatever yeah uh there’s
a mole or what do they call this things
groundhog Beaver what I don’t know what
they’re called but there’s a hole right
there and I’m not going to hit from
there so I’m going to put it back next
to it groundhog right no what what are
those things in catty Shack that Bill
Murray
fights is it a
groundhog no it’s not a
groundhog damn
it what are those stupid things called
beavers no they’re not
beavers squirrels
jbls forgot anyway all right here
we go
around your
body around your body at a medium pace
around your body three two one
fire wow that’s so good
damn damn that’s
good gosh I would have thought of all
kinds of
stuff this weekend with that shot
all kinds of
stuff I would have got every number
every yardage every wind Dynamic so
stupid just hit the ball man you’re not
like I said you’re not flying a rocket
to Mars you’re just hitting a golf ball
like stop it go out there and think less
have more fun think less have more fun
you know how it’s just aggravating when
you’re just overthinking everything and
it’s not working that’s stuff just burns
you up man every hole you’re trying
something different
like it’s
exhausting
truly truly exhausting look where this
thing ended up kind of have a little
issue right there it’s right by that
thing which is the 100 yard marker no
it’s not it’s a 120 yard marker okay so
let’s hit a 50°
wedge let’s give ourselves what is this
never even seen that okay so this is
sprinkler head I get releas Leaf so I go
back a little
bit okay good I’m back here now all
right what do I have 130 yards let’s say
I’m going to take a 50° wedge I’m not
going to overthink anything I’m just
going to put it somewhere on the green
I’m going to turn back around my
body and turn forward just like
this no acceleration no deceleration
just swing the thing around your body 3
two one
fire I’m so upset right
now where where was this
guy where was I I would have hit the
ball in the street or in the bunker the
guys I’m playing with they’ll tell you
it was like what who’s this guy my first
t-shot of the third
day was a par three at Pacific Grove
it was 112
yards I took a pitching wedge or like a
no it was 132 yards I took a pitching
wedge and hit it 11
yards right into a cemetery like
what it was unbelievable I I I I
couldn’t I couldn’t figure it
out and what I was trying to figure
out was something that needed no
figuring out
I know how to do this your body knows
how to swing something around your your
body like it just knows so just let it
happen don’t try to force it stop it
it’s like jumping rope do you think
about what your hands are doing or your
feet are doing when you jump rope no not
at all you don’t think about your knees
when you’re jumping rope you just jump
rope and it just happens but this we get
all Technical and stiff and
stupid Let It Go man just let it go
swing it around your body don’t worry
about anything
else don’t worry about anything else
let’s see if I can make a birdie putt
for the
boys back
home all right there’s my
ball bada bing bada boom we got a lot of
break right okay kind of need to think
about two things what are they how far
am I and where is the ball going
well let’s see where the ball is going
obviously it’s going to go that way
because this is a steep hill so I know I
have to hit it like up here and it’ll
come down that way now how far am
I and this far how far would I have to
toss the
ball there just toss the ball toss it
look here and then just toss it
Watch What
Happens toss
it tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
[Music]
oh am I upset about it N I would have
taken that all
day all day let’s put this over here so
you can see
it got a par
putt what is that 2
feet did I take the flag out
ah don’t overthink it
just roll it in
there roll it in 3 two 1 roll it
in Bingo guys more ol of
today stop
overthinking it will cost you so much
it’s it’s so much
easier than you think I didn’t think
once about my wrists or my knees or my
hips or the angle of attack or my swing
path or shallowing or
whatever swing it around your
body at a medium pace and you will be
rewarded I hope this helps and I’ll see
you next time
