I’ve hit a lot of golf balls in the last like seven months. Like an absurd amount of golf balls. So, you get these stretches that might you might just groove it. As bad as it’s been, I’m quite good at golf to play decent from some of the positions I’ve been in uh in my golf swing. But it felt like about two and a half, three weeks ago, John Scott came out for a few days and we really dove into what like I got more honest with him about what I thought we should do and he like it’s going to hopefully be one of those things I remember. I said, “I think I should swing it like this.” And he said, “Okay, show me.” And I showed him. He goes, “Okay, like let’s mold off of that. Let’s make that the model.” And it felt more like my old golf swing back in like 22 23ish. I kind of knew the misses better. My hands just work through the shot better. And so, yeah, about two and a half weeks ago, I was like, “Okay, I can I see the misses.” It’s been hard. I felt like I’ve been playing with a foreign swing at times. Um, and yeah, like I said, I’ll have weeks at home where I’m like, “It’s not bad.” But I definitely think it’s just because you can kind of time it. Everyone out here is so good and we played so long. You can make things work if they’re not perfect. Uh, but like last week was the first week where I played where I was like, “Okay, this is feels I hate to say the old me because I don’t like, you know, thinking like that, but it just felt like I I was plotting my way around golf course different and I was hitting enough good shots to play well.” What did it take for you to say, “Hey, like be proactive with this is what I want to do as opposed to maybe just listening.” Um, yeah, it’s always difficult because I I’ve felt so broken and I felt like whatever the swing change was going to be was going to be some grand thing, like something I’ve never done before. And we were just like not finding anything on this range session. Everything he says makes sense and it’s like very right, but it didn’t feel like me. it was close to like the the positions and everything were were on what I wanted to do, but I was like I just said I was going to I want to try to do it this way and just let me know if that looks okay. And like I said, it was immediately like we’re going to do that and let’s just work off of that as like the template. Uh, so it’s hard for me because I didn’t I don’t want to like John I’ve been very lucky like working with John and working with Mark like there’s brilliant people and you listen to brilliant people but at some point you have to maybe get in there and and and just say hey you know this technically might be right but it doesn’t feel like I’m going to be able to do this and he was really great at that and uh kind of um ebbing off of that a little bit. So it like I said it feels more like me. It looks more like the when I swung at my my best, I
