It was right there. Sorry about that. Um, Scotty Shuffler swing. You don’t want to do that. You want you want it to be athletic. But just in his, you know, in the defense of not teaching that where this is just facts, you know, there’s a big gap there. It’s harder to that’s going to close. You watch that’s going to be down there. And that club is just harder to get it back. Not that you cannot do it. And this guy does it pretty damn good, but it’s harder for the average guy. He hits balls literally 24 hours a day. So you watch that that gap in the arm close. See right there? See, I got to learn how to use this thing. See that? It’s right there now. So why why get it up there? I I again I don’t think you need to but hit hit thousand balls a day for 10 years you’ll be fine but you can’t so do it the easier way right from the inside textbook people right there so I how the when I first press this that’s where the hole starts yeah okay I see all right there perfect absolutely perfect again not a lot of hip rotation coming from the inside which means You know, remember the golf swing is a circle, right? It’s a it’s an rounded Why is that not working? A rounded motion. You don’t swing at the target. A lot of people don’t know that, too. They try to swing at the target. So, if we draw a straight line down here, that club is not going to go down that line. It’s going to go left of it. Please go left of it. Please go left of it. See? Boom. Left of it. Not going to go down the line. The club is following his body. His body’s turning to the left, rotating around and the club’s following it. Cirular. It’s all circles. Circles, people. Circles. Not straight lines. Once you get that down, then it gets better and you can start handling that better and start figuring that out. And you can do it better. It’s not that hard. That’s why the drills are so important to get the rotation going. You know, you get that rotation going, things get easier. And then up there. Boom. Up onto that corner. Dog is leaving me. Dude, what did I do? You got it, buddy. Chill. The dog has left me. I’ve been dumped, you know, and then he just gets it up there. But it’s just it’s it’s persistence and target oriented swing, you know. Try to fix that and he’s done. can’t play. He’s not the only one that has a weird, you know, action, but some of those swings he took at the British Open where he’s walking. It looks like he never played before. Oh, guy stealing second. Safe. Oh, he went off the bag. They call him out. Yep. Oh, he was going so fast he bounced off the bag. Horrible throw, but he got him. Out at second. Out at second. So yeah, this is um so let’s go now to another fella by the name of Justin Timberlake. All right, this was a weird video. So let’s go back down here. So let’s go up here. All right, again, arms hanging straight down. We love that coming from that inside that how shallow that is, right? You know I’m right right there. Look at that people. Look at that. That’s how you hit bombs. Literal bombs. That’s where you want to be. Now compared to um not Fowler, what’s his name? Sheffller. Watch where his hips are. Look at that hip rotation right at impact. Right after impact. And now you can see the gap in his knees. I have a better um app coming on to show you the show you come side by side. But see that that’s the gap in the knees. You can see his butt cheek there. His left pocket. That’s what you want to see for optimum balance and power. Is that a home run? No, that’s a double. Oh, I thought the Red Sox were up. Whatever. So, you compare that to JT um what’s his name? Look at that. Burn that into your noggin. Now, let’s go back to our boy. Yeah, I got to get a better um a better thing. I know, but just deal with it for now. Now, watch him at impact. See, it makes me change it every time. All right. You’re not going to see that gap in his knee. See, it’s almost like he’s too level. There’s a kind of a gap, but not really. Slight one, but his hips have turned. Certainly not quite as far as our boy. And that’s what gets that. I think it stalls and the leg keeps going up on the toe. There’s no spike there, so it messes it up. That’s my opinion on that one. Again, I don’t know, but he just picks a target and hits it. I I was hitting some today and and I was I had a lesson. I was showing the guy, “This is how you aim. This is what I think of when I’m hitting. You pick a cloud. You hit to the cloud.” He goes, “What do you mean hit to a cloud?” I go, “Yeah, you don’t you don’t hit to the fairway because you want to you’re hitting the ball in the air, not in the ground. You don’t want to look down. You want to look up.” And that that alone helped the guy freed him up because he’s looking at the ground hitting the driver. If you’re putting you look at the ground, but you don’t hit your driver looking at the ground. So, you got to be target oriented. You got to do drills. You got to have the, you know, understanding there’s no straight lines in the golf swing hopefully. And that just puts you in a better position to get the most out of your golf swing. You know, see, that’s right there is ideal with his arms. Ideal. But then he’s going to just keep going up. See, there’s no reason to go any further than See, he doesn’t have the wrist [ __ ] either. That’s another thing. There’s a [ __ ] right there. That’s why I don’t like that wider extension with the arms because then you don’t risk [ __ ] too late. You’re too early or whatever you want to call it. So, we don’t want that. You know, the Phillies are on fire, PayPal. Oh, that was a bad pitch. Right through his legs. But see how much Look at Now, burn that into your head. There’s got to be a better app I I mean website I can use to show these swings on here, you know, to compare them. I can do it on the phone, but I can’t do it on this, you know. See that? But right, see his see the steepness of that one. And watch where Jay teases. So, compared to his right forearm, look where that shaft is. Okay. Damn it. Just stop, bro. I just want it to inch. I don’t want it to go right there. So, you just draw a quick line on it just for reference to help burn it into your noggin compared to his arm. You see that? Now, let’s go back to JT and do it and look at the same thing and you’ll see the um the difference in why that line on there. I don’t know. Oh, that’s from uh Oh, that’s the old. We don’t want that one. There we go. Let’s start here. All right. Right here. Watch. See it? right there. See the difference? See his forearm. Why is that go so fast? I have it on ultra slowmo. Why is it going so fast? I have to do this, I think. Right. Yeah. See, but that’s rotation, circular motion. That’s what you need to do. That’s what you need to get. Rotation, circular motion. Scotty too hotty. Whoa. Wild pitches, baby. Wild pitches for the [ __ ] Yeah, right there. Why can’t I put these together? That What is this? This Can I Oh, that’s making him a lefty. Scotty’s a lefty now. Looks pretty good. Why don’t they have a comparison mode on there? This is nuts. I’d love to have the comparison mode. There’s a cool thing out there if you’re into learning new sports called Teach Me Too. I I’m working out a deal with them to be uh I don’t know what you call it. Help them. Teach me Too. Pickle ball, softball, tennis, golf obviously. So, I just signed up, gave a few lessons for them. You go through an app, you pay the app. It’s pretty good people all over. But um so I’ll be working with them. Teach me too. Pickle, you want to teach play pickle ball, tennis, everything. Surfing, snowboarding. You’ll find someone to help you. And they have bios on them so you can read up on it. Teach me too. Check those out and tell them I sent you. It’s again, it’s in the beginning stages. It’s it needs a lot of work. I just joined them today, so none of that work is mine yet. But I’m going to help him with the golf part of it. Obviously, not the not the pickle ball. Not the pickle ball, people. Not the pickle ball. All right, let’s get him back to a righty. It’s I mean, it’s something you wouldn’t teach people, but I’d take his trophies, right? Yeah, there’s got to be a better app I can use or website, whatever you want to call it. So, I’m going to do a um a golf tournament. I don’t know if anyone plays these games. I don’t, but I I’m going to try. I played um Blades of Steel back in the day, and my son was a NHL player. Um, but I don’t know if it’s Xbox or or um what do you call it? PlayStation, but we’re going to try to set up a tournament, a video. You can play online and I don’t know what day we’ll play, but we’ll play um I don’t know, once a week maybe. PJ Tour 2025 have like 10 tournaments, five tournaments, I don’t know, one tournament. We’ll figure it out if you’re interested. I don’t know how to play it. So, I have the Xboxes and all that. I just have to hook them up and figure that out. But I don’t care if I shoot. I just want to have some fun and do it. Maybe that just something different, you know? If people want to play it, let me know. Give me an email and we’ll get people going. We get hopefully get 10 people to try it. You know, something different and you can play live. Like my son played NHL hockey. He was on their Anaheim Ducks pro team. He’s a leftwing, right wing. I don’t know what position he played, but he since he doesn’t play it anymore because he has a real job, but he got paid money, too. It was nuts. He literally got paid money to play PlayStation by the Ducks. That’s why I got all this duck [ __ ] all over the place here. Now he’s on the king. He’s in the LA Kings. Oh, look at that. And that’s I mean, it’s just funny. And he made some weird swings yesterday with the elbow flipping. I love the cut. That’s why he’s get the ball in the fairway and game over. Game over. You know, you know that’s what Rory, you got to you got to hit the push cut, my friend. And you’ll win more. He should win so much more, but he drives poorly. He drives it perfectly, too. But his way he does it can lead to bad shots, and that’s what happens. You’ve got to change that. You know what I mean, folks? You know what I mean? It’s all chicken but the bill. Yeah. But I don’t know. There’s got to be a better way. So, he’s going to be on the RDER Cup, obviously. So, I’m going to go I’m going to go every day and get videos on the range. I’m going to live on the range and just get some awesome videos of all their swings and maybe I can climb. I don’t think they’ll let me in the ropes on a rider cup, but there’s going to be so many people wanting to do it. Regular tour event. I can get a press pass. Oh, maybe. No, I can’t. I can’t because it’s not the tour. It’s the PJ I’m a PGA of America member, but this isn’t I get a PJ tour pass, but this ain’t the PJ tour. This is the PG of America. They won’t let me in the ropes cuz every golf pro in the world wants to get in the ropes, but the press the um the p not the press pass. Hey, there’s the puppy. What’s up, buddy? Well, I can get in, but you know, you know what I mean? But I still will get some great content, but I want to get great videos of these guys swinging so we can you know my camera and and zoom in on his feet or zoom in on his ankle or something like that and try to figure it out, you know? But that’s what we’re going to do. That’s the plan. Stand. Make a new ride. Glide. That’s a bright That’s a bright thing. That’s why I wear these. It’s so freaking bright. I The lights are off in here, people. I know. I got monitors, but God, my eyes. I have eyes. But it’s so bright. I don’t know. Squint. Call me squinty, baby. But yeah. Um, the guy gets it done. He gets it in play and game over. Smart. He out thinks. He out, you know, he’s not trying to hit it 400 yards. Just hits that little cut, gets it in the fairway. Boom. Game over. Look at that. Boom. hangs back quite a bit, too. I’m gonna get some good vids, guys. Good videos, and we’ll work it out. We’ll work it out. But yeah, if anyone’s interested in that, want to play the the game video game. I don’t know if adults play video games, do they? I don’t know. But it’s golf and we’re in a golf zone here. We’re in a golf zone, folks. That’s what we’re doing. We’ll try it. I’ll play PGA Tour 2025 with anybody. I’ll try. It can’t be that hard, can it? Put it on easy downwind every hole. No rain hole like this big. Oh, what a nasty pitch there. Holy sheep dip. I got to stop swearing. I got to be more polite, more nice because I have like deals with people now. So, I got to be nice. I can’t be crazy. advertisers, whatever you want to call them, brands things. So, I have to be nice. Look at that. See, that’s not steep. It’s a little steep, but he’s taller than JT. Well, he’s, you know, again, not a lot of bend there, guys. You don’t want to bend your knees too much. Not good. Your knees are going to bend as you go, and that’s a pivot. It’s like a piston, but if they’re already bent, you’re going to straighten up. That make sense? So, make sure you’re just comfortable, hanging down, arms hanging down, not out there reaching for it. Like, look at that one video I did. This is the craziest golf swing ever. He’s reaching like way out there. It’s wicked. Oh, look at this hair dude. The Phillies Red Sox. It’s wicked uncomfortable looking, you know, and it just looks like he’s Now Scotty looks like he’s just going to pound it pound town. And he’s going right right at that um what’s that snack bar out there snack bath. Not a lot of wrist hinge right there. I like some wrist cocking if you know what I mean. I think you do. Wrist hinging. you get the I like an early wrist hinge for the average golfer because they if they get it too wide then they tend to move with it off the ball. Now if you’re practicing them more that’s different. All depends on how much you practice. So the guys come to me for in-person lessons even online lessons I got to ask them questions. There’s a little questionnaire we’re going to fill out because if you’re not going to practice you can’t do certain things. So, I have to I have to um temper, is that the word? My teaching around how much a guy practices. Now, a guy beats balls and swings in the backyard and and practices putting indoors and is addicted to getting better, then to give him a different plan. The guy that’s not going to practice, we got to, you know, work around it. But there’s something for everybody. There’s a plan for everybody. You know, these guys practice all day long because they have to. They’re going to get lapped. Now, this guy is, you know, is is is pretty damn good. He’s on the leaderboard every time he plays, you know, but yesterday was boring cuz there’s no weather. There’s no exciting holes coming up because of the weather. That’s where the the the Great Britain are giving me [ __ ] for saying that. But I like it. I just wanted the weather. They know that. That’s why it’s there. Nothing personal, guys. Nothing personal. I want to see a guy on a semi ballister bias on his knees outside the bunker, hitting inside the bunker. Hopefully, he can get it out to get it outside the bunker instead of bunkers are easy. Get me in the sand around here. Just no problem. I’ll hit it to a foot every time. But those ones are harder. But not at this course. They weren’t as what do they call ri re rivetted faces. They weren’t as steep. They were they were flatter so you could get out again. Nothing personal. Just want to see it harder. Chilly, go sit with your mother, please. You know, and then this guy’s not going to fold. Has he ever lost a tournament? Again, I don’t know these. I I I probably should know these, but I don’t think he’s ever blown a lead. you know, maybe one shot, but I don’t think four shots. He It’s like not He’s not obviously he’s not Tiger Wood. It’s not even close, but kind of now, you know, I mean, kind of in the um sense where you see his name on the board every week almost. You’re you know, Ben Griffin or Kis Ker you him again. You know what I mean? That’s what the Tiger They see his name every day. Ah, him again. You were playing for seconds. Jack Nicholas told me the same thing back when I cried for Jack. Same thing. They knew. He knew he gonna beat everybody. He knew it. He told me that. I knew I was beating everybody. I was betting everybody. I outworked everybody. I’m going to beat everybody. Like he’s like Bobby or who didn’t drink. He played in the big bad Bruins. They all drank and partied in between freaking periods smoking cigarettes on the bench. But he didn’t do it. The only one that didn’t do it. Jerry Chvers came told me that out of his mouth and Brad Park both of them told me that playing golf every Tuesday at the golf Golf tennis club. Bobby York wouldn’t drink. He might have drank on the weekends, I don’t know, but he didn’t drink in the games or at the night before the games getting hammered like Frosty Forestall, their um trainer. He get cocked. It was wild days, but he didn’t do it. And Jack was Jack was into winning golf tournaments. What? He wasn’t doing it for the fun of it. Tiger Woods wanted to win. Tiger likes money. I’m sure he loves money, but he he wanted to be the best player, not the most money that comes with it, obviously. And I think Scotty’s the same. You know, he’s a humble dude. This He seems like such a nice guy. I’m like rooting against him. I feel like I’m going to hell for it. I wasn’t rooting against him, but I was rooting for him to make mistakes so it would be closer. I’m happy that he won and would win. I just wanted it closer, you know. Nothing against him. Great champion. Third major, right? No. Is it fourth major? Third. Third grand slam. Yeah, fourth major. Third grand slam. He won something twice. The PGA or I don’t know that the Masters maybe. Yeah. Now, is he playing this week? I don’t even know what tournament is this week, but that kid got her up, too. How about him? He was a great college player. I believe he played for Ruters and then he went to Oklahoma for a year because the NIL thing and the transfer portal, you can just get jumping around any school you want. But another good player, you I mean, Ryder Cup, I don’t think so, but good American. And um they got to win the Ryder Cup. It’s in New York. It’s going to be madness there. I’m ready. I’m going. I am psyched. It’s gonna I’m going every day, too, because I want good footage of these swings, but it’s going to be wild there. I went to the one in 99 and the country club. That was wild when they came back and won. But I They lost the last one in Italy, I believe, right? Was it Italy? Yeah. But it’s going to be wild. The fans are going to be crazy. Beth Paige Black had last time I was at Beth Page Black, I think it was 2009 US Open. Lucas Glover won that. It rained horribly, horrible rain. But, uh, Lucas Glover was the champion. Great golf course, first hole, dog leg, right? The rough is going to be tough. It’s going to be fun. It’s going to be wild, you know. Would Keegan Bradley pick himself? Could you pick yourself as a captain? I mean, if he makes the team, obviously, as a top, what is it? Top six, then you get six picks, I believe, now. It used to be 10 and two, then it was like eight and four. Now it’s six and six. So top six automatically then you pick six. But um he’s in 12th maybe. I don’t think he’d pick himself. That’s ballsy. Unless he wins a couple like me. I don’t know. You’re the captain. You can’t pick yourself, right? Am I right or wrong? You’re the coach. Alex Cor is not going to go play shortstop here because he had a good weekend at home with his kids. You know what I mean? But if he makes the team, you can you can get an alternate coach, maybe. I don’t know. I I that’d be tough picking yourself. That’d be a ballsy move. And you better win every match if you’re going to pick yourself. Dambo, he’s really the only live guy, right, that’s on points. I don’t know. Keepa might be up there. Well, for the other team, Ram, I think Sergio says he wants to make the team, but those guys can’t get points on only on majors. That’s a a debacle. Remember when that I mean, it’s dying down, but that’s crazy. That’s bringing politics into golf and just nuts. Just crazy. All right, let’s look at him again, folks. Again, just look at that setup. comfortable. Looks like he’s just gonna smash it. Looks athletic. He’s boom, you know, he’s just hanging out. Good lines. He’s not hunched over, you know. He’s he doesn’t look like the hunchback of Notraam, you know. It’s like, you know, none of this, none of this with the knees. Just good straight lines. That That was a horrible straight line. That’s a straight line. Barely knee flex. Love it. The head’s not tilted down. I hate that. Get off there, [ __ ] Yeah, there’s got to be a better app. Let’s make him a head here. There’s his head. Yeah, you don’t want your head down, guys. You want your spine going right straight up because it’s connected, you know? So you make a better turn going back if you’re if you start to turn your head. Now if you’ve rounded your your your spine and it’s just not going to curve as much because your spine isn’t straight like that line. I would you know what I mean? It’s curved inside of you, you know, but you still want to turn the whole thing. But if your head’s down, you’re going to limit it. Bryson I have Bryson swing. He does kind of s it makes a huge shoulder turn. Get that wide swing hovering the driver. That’s I think that video is coming out at 9:00, but just looks like he’s going to hit it perfect. All right, good wide extension. Boom. Right in our kitchen right there. Look at that. You see that’s perfect right there with the arm. But he gets He doesn’t have the wrist [ __ ] right there. Something he’s not cocking that wrist enough. His hips go in. I think again being critical. The hips are too far at this point. They’ve already got there and then they’re going to you can’t you can’t go any further. You just can’t do it. I don’t I don’t think you can. Your bones won’t work. So the arm position right there. Now if he had this club is this on circle or not? If he had this club wrist hinged more already there, it’s as far as he needs to go in my opinion. But again, he didn’t ask for my opinion. So he goes way back across the line p pointing over here. So now he’s got to unscrew that. See, so all those weird idiosyncrasies. Hey, what’s up my friend? Your golf game is [ __ ] if you have scoliosis. Holy [ __ ] I thought you were giving me a hard time there for a second. I drove the ball perfect today, which is nice. Um, so yeah, so he’s you just add an extra to it. So I wouldn’t teach someone that. Again, he beat a million balls just getting it to his target. So that’s how he his brain figured out a way to get it to the target. You can’t change that. That’s n Lee Trevino did it. Ray Floyd did it. Nancy Lopez did it. They didn’t have a perfect swing. They just figured out a way to get that club back to square to the target. Get the ball to the target. That’s what they they stood at a target and they just kept hitting it till they hit the freaking target. They didn’t go back inside, outside, up, down. They didn’t they just figured it out. That’s how they did it in the old days. The swings weren’t perfect. They just figured it out. And that’s what it seems like that’s what Scotty did. I don’t think he’s a rich kid. He just beat balls at a target. The coach just said, “Hit the target. Hit the target. Look at the target. Look at the target.” Which I love. And that’s what he figured out. He’s been this forever. This isn’t something new. Textbook, right? And then watch the foot. So, he’s very level there with his hips. His hips are stalling. Scott stalling. And then that’s why the foot the momentum of the foot’s going. The hips stall. The foot keeps going. It I don’t I don’t know what else I see. And there’s no spikes on the toe of your shoe. Maybe he needs like Ben Hogan had an extra spike in one of his shoes, right? So maybe this guy needs Oh, error. Nice. If you’re a Phillies fan, your third your shorts stop third baseman just [ __ ] one up. Oh, I can’t swear. Messed one up. But I like these classic uniforms. No red [ __ ] blue [ __ ] pink [ __ ] Baseball uniforms. Phillies look awesome in these uniforms. Phillies, pinstripes. Uhoh. Oh, that’s a double. Roman Anthony, one of our rookies. Bregman to third. What What are the What are the Phillies? Are they any good this year? I haven’t been watching them too much, but the Tigers are good. The Cubs were good. I know that. We played the Cubs this weekend. We I don’t play for the Red Sox, obviously. Yeah. This kid Anony’s going to be good. This Marcelo Mayor is going to be good. They just brought these rookie when not Bregman. Remember Deas, Raffael Devers, when they told him they traded him, everyone, they thought the players were going to be upset. They were like cheering that he’s gone. He’s just whining [ __ ] Overrated, too. So, yeah, they brought up these um Is this story? Yeah, Story’s pretty good. The Red Sox could sneak into the playoffs, you know. They could. They could. Anyone have any questions on golf? Anything you want to ask me. Yeah. Do it, bro. Do it. Do it. Live lessons. I want live lessons, folks. So then I don’t know, Lefty, if this sounds stupid, but um No, but just something alignment. Yeah. No, I don’t change. Trust me. Just going to give you a drill. I’m not going to change anything. you’re gonna change it if you need to. I don’t over coach. I’m just like him. I wouldn’t tell him to where, you know, I’m just say, “Hey, where where’s the ball going?” Right? If you miss both ways, then something’s wrong. If you hit it left and right, there’s a problem. You can only have one miss. If you’re not have one miss, then you need to work on something. That’s a fact. I’ve hit the ball pretty good. Obviously, never ever go left. Ever. Ever in a million years would I hit the ball to the left? It won’t happen. I can draw it right to left, but it won’t go straight to left or not. If I’m on a [ __ ] hill or something, please. But your normal shot, no push cuts off the tea all day long. Alignment drills, you know what I mean? I’m not invent the golf swing. I’m not going to make you swing like me or or him. I mean at impact I think you should do it like me of course because it just works. You know the guy I had so the guy I had Wednesday Mike shoots a hundred broke peas broke a 100 this year. I showed him how to aim what to think of when you’re hitting. Squared him up a little better. I gave him some drills obviously. He played shot 92 with two quadruple bogeies because he just [ __ ] up a there was water. It was a wasn’t a bad shot but whatever. You know what I mean? 92 with two quads, two eights, hasn’t broken 100. Just didn’t tell him take keep your head down, turn your nothing. How to think, how to aim. Boom. Freedom up. Be an athlete, you know. Gave him some drills to do. Taught him how to play golf, not necessarily how to just swing the golf club. Not going to change your swing. It doesn’t work that way. I’m not a [ __ ] This guy can come the rest of us. He’s coming every week forever. He said, “Show me how to.” No, he doesn’t need to. That’s being crazy. But he’s telling all his friends and I’m not going to, you know, certain things got to happen. If you’re holding the club up up in here, right? We got to get it down there. That’s a fact. But yeah, I coach more than you know what I mean. You’ll see. You’ll see. You’ll see. I promise you. You’ll see. You know, and and and that’s what I do with these online lessons. I talk to them on the phone because I need to know where the ball’s going. I can’t necessarily see it every shot, but I can I kind of know where it’s going based on what I see here. And you say, you know, boom. And you you’ll see, my friend, you watch. Hooking’s okay as long as it’s not going left. If it’s going right back to center or right back to a little bit left of center. I’m talking about where the ball starts, not necessarily. I can draw my 3-wood. Yeah, I want on dog leg lefts. I use a 3-wood every time. I don’t use my driver ever. Ever. It never happens. always driver push cuts pretty they go pretty straight but push cuts we call them but you can’t hit a golf ball straight it’s yeah none of that [ __ ] right you can’t do that so in a jog leg right to left I pull my 3-wood out because you deloft it play it back a little bit a little bit lower and I turn it into a driver anyways oh you do yeah so you’re you hitting down steep probably right yeah so that’s what this guy was doing with his 3wood um today so he was just picking it straight up. So, he’s not going to turn because if you go this way, you can’t turn. You’re going to go this way, right? So, he’s he’s hitting his he’s hitting steep on his 3-wood and just had him just had him just take like 20 practice swings. We don’t hit a million balls. We work on our swing. You know, we don’t work on our We don’t hit a million balls. We work on our motion. And all of a sudden, he started piping his 3-wood. Just little tink little things. Little things. Because someone said, “Oh, you get worse before you get better.” So I asked this guy, Mike, today. I said, “Mike, you get worse before you get better. What happened with that? You you you beat your best score by eight and you could have shot 87 easily. I’d kill myself if I shot 87, but I I I would literally kill myself. But um if I shoot 77, I’ll kill myself. But that’s different. I’m a different animal. I This is what I do. I work on it all the time. That’s all I do is practice golf and think about how to be a better player. My the hardest part of golf for me is picking what clothes to wear if I match in my outfit because I know how to practice. I know how to think. It’s not that hard. It’s not listening to people today. So, I’m helping Mike out, you know, and there’s it’s a public range and I’m in the stall, so there’s like wooden things. My clubs are here. He’s there. And and I can hear the people behind me talk. Oh my god. I was like, boy, this poor bastard. He’s got two 2,000 $4,000 worth of clubs. He’s paying1 150 a round. Oh, the poor guy. I can’t imagine playing golf like that. I can’t imagine it. I can’t. Oh, it’s golf is you just show up and you hit it because they’re thinking wrong. I know I’m kind of being a douche, but because I want them to play better. You know what I mean? I want them to play better. It’s so frustrating. The guy’s locking his arm, keeping his arm straight. His buddies, you fl your head. You lifted your head. I’m like, what the [ __ ] Well, a good set of irons is two grand, right? Drivers are 800. Putter is 800. Bag is 300. The balls are 10 bucks a piece. I’m exaggerating to some degree, but yeah. But I told you my irons are 2017 AP2s or 19, one of the two. And I won’t change them. I won’t change them. I regrip them. I reshaft them. I [ __ ] hit him. I can’t change them. I can’t do it. No. I have the new driver and I have the new all the other stuff. And I have the lab putter. I think I showed you, right? I’m trying to I I’ll have the lab guys on here when I do my podcast soon. I got Tom Perzer. You remember Tom Perzer? He’s coming on. Gary Williams from the uh golf channel. He’s coming on. There’s more too. There’s more. I don’t want to rel release everybody, but the guy that invented this putter and the owner, they’re coming on separately, but yeah, they’ll be on talking about golf and all that. It’s going to be fun. My podcast, my friend. It’s going to be fun. Sim, right? You right. But now they’re not 900, right? Aren’t they more money? Sims a couple years old, right? It’s crazy. It’s crazy. You don’t need to spend a lot to either, right? I hit I So, this guy today, Mike, had um hit a white 3-wood. It was a tailor made I forget the name of it, but it was white. And I hit it just just fine. I mean, I know I can’t jam it because it’s a regular shaft, but I know that. And I did it. He goes, “Oh my god.” I go, “Dude, I could play with anything. It doesn’t matter because my swing is good. I have a good swing.” Yeah. I can’t go at a regular shaft or a lady shaft. I get it. But I know that, you know. Yeah. So you’re right. So they are more than that now. Probably three grand for those. You know, that’s all right. But but learn how to use them now. You’re a good player. You get it. But these guys that can’t break a hundred. How are you not lining up to call me? I don’t understand it. I don’t understand how they’re not trying to get better. They’re trying to help each other out. You got a carpenter and a dentist trying to help each other play better golf. When my teeth are [ __ ] up, guess what? I don’t fix them. Yeah. Do I want to spend 1,100 on a [ __ ] root canal? No. But I have to. I Where’s my hammer? I start ripping my [ __ ] tooth. Oh, I can’t swear. Ripping my tooth out. No, I’m calling the dentist or my hammer for the carpenter. I mean, I use this hammer to bang the nail in for my thing back there, but you know what I mean. I can’t fix crap. I call the carpenter. My door’s broken. I called the guy to fix it. I can’t fix it. But maybe they’re cheap or broke. They can’t be broke cuz they’re playing golf. You broke people don’t play golf. You have 50 bucks for an online swing evaluation. You do. They just they think they can do it because they play high school football, you know? Right. Exactly. It doesn’t matter. Play with my mother’s My mother’s dead, but I can use my mother’s clubs. It doesn’t matter. I know how to swing. I know what it takes. I practice right. I have the right thoughts and that’s what I pass on to you. You know this again I keep using this one guy Mike because he was the last guy I had but he’s so happy this guy’s he’s going to be shooting 75 in a month if he he’s got to still work on he’s not there yet obviously but he you should have seen him. He’s swinging like a [ __ ] tour pro because he knows how to do it. I go Mike what’s the difference between me and you? We both got hands and eyes. Do that and it’ll go. Think like me. Think like, well, I’m using me because I’m there with him, but think like any pro. You know, it’s so there’s so many people out there golfing. I’m just looking at this place. This range probably had a hundred stalls. There’s 75 people there today or more just going [ __ ] And that’s why, you know, yeah, 125 an hour, which I think is pretty [ __ ] cheap on live lesson is cheap for me. I haven’t raised my rates in a while, 5 years or so, cuz it’s crazy money. I don’t need to make 250 a lesson. But for a $40 swing evaluation and and I’m going to give you way more than that. I’m not going to say, “Oh, yeah, you you here’s your swing.” No, you’re going to get a video back saying, “All right, Jimmy, Tony, boom. Let’s work on this. Show me your grip. You know, call me on the phone. Let’s talk about let’s get you going. I I don’t get it. I just don’t get it. You’re not going to figure it out by yourself. Now, again, you you’re different. I don’t know what you did for practice and all that, but you know, again, now, no offense, Tree Handicapp doesn’t shoot 69 every time he plays. You shoot 80 sometimes. I’m I’m sure you do because they take your 10 best scores out of the last 20. You have bad days, right? True. So, can is there room for improvement? Of course there is. So three isn’t really a three, if you know what I mean. Like you’re shooting three over every time. That’s not legit. That’s not legit because that goes by the course rating, not par, too. So if you’re if you’re at a par 72 and it’s a 68 rating and you’re shooting 75, you’re a six-handed guy. You can never stop learning. I’m still learning. I’m watching these guys. I’m watching them. What are they doing? What are they trying to get better? you know, but I think I’ve done enough of it to know, you know, and study the motion in the swing to try to get I’m sorry. Let me go back, my friend. Standing too close. Right. See, you’ll see. Yeah. Send me some videos, my friend, and I’ll hook you up. You’ll see. You’ll see. And just talk about it. Why, you know, why this? Why that? Why? Well, and you’ll see. You’ll you’ll be a plus three handicap when you’re done with me. I’m a plus five. I’m [ __ ] old as [ __ ] you know? I still hit it in the air. Like I said, 260 in the air, which isn’t bad, but I used to hit 295 in the air. I’m a little older now, a little harder. I don’t work out. I don’t stretch. I don’t use the medicine ball thing because I don’t compete anymore. So, I don’t I’m just a regular guy now. If I was still competing, I’d be working my ass out. The medicine ball stuff, the the the bands and boom and swinging the speed stick a [ __ ] million times a day. That’s what you do to be better, you know? Oh, you’re I thought you were at three. Someone said, who was the three? Must have been someone else. I’m sorry. Right. You could right six handicap don’t shoot 78 every time they play. No, I’m not trying to be a douche. Trust. They just don’t you scratch players don’t shoot par every day. They shoot par three times out of 20. They might shoot one round under par, but they’re shooting 75 because it’s based on the scored, right? The um the um my brother’s a six handicap and I have to give him 12 shots and I beat him every time. How’s that? Because I make eight birdies. Because I’m legit. My I’m legit. Everything in the hole. He’s got a three-footer downhill. It’s not good. It’s good with your buddies. Everything in that [ __ ] hole. I play real golf. Here your [ __ ] foot. Yeah. Different bucket. No. You know, you hit one OB. Oh, I was tired. You get a free one. No, no, no, no. Move it out of Move it off. No, no, no, no, no. We play real golf, my friend. So, I can improve you easily. Easily. And you’ll see this guy. Like I said, I’m not making it up. It’s you just get better. And it’s not keep your head down. Turn your shoulders. You’ll see. You’ll see. Give me a shot, my friend. We’ll use you as an example. But you got to on your end, you got to do what I say. You got to practice it and do it. That’s why I said again every I’m just using Mike because I had him today. And he did it. I can tell he did what I asked him and he had the biggest when I saw him his he had he looked like that gesture cat cheshure cat smiling I go what’s up Mike how how’s it going I know how it’s going if he doesn’t if he doesn’t do it he’s like I know this works it’s not like I’m hoping oh my god I hope this works please work oh please god I hope it works no of course it works oh man I shot a 92 with two I could have shot 80 because it because I hit a couple just two two holes cost me. But next time if I cut those down, I’ll shoot 90. Boom. I said, “Fuck 90. Let’s go for breaking 80, my friend. You should I I do have video. I don’t want to put his video up without his permission, but but it’s a huge difference.” And and I saw him Wednesday to today. What’s that? Five days, four days. Uh he he he shot his 92 Thursday after spending an hour Today I spent an hour and a half with him. I spent an extra half hour with him. Didn’t charge him another 60 bucks because I like the guy and I had free time and I showed him how I hit a few and he learned something. He’s like, “Oh, do I owe you?” No, don’t worry about it. Just tell your friends if if they want to learn something to call me. You know what I mean? That’s how you That’s what you do. I love helping people. It’s like this what I love to do. And I do help them. If I didn’t help him, I wouldn’t I wouldn’t be doing this for 40 years, bro. 30 years, whatever it is. I’m not going to torture myself. And I don’t do I mean, I do it for the money, of course. That’s my living. But I don’t do it for the money type of thing. Money comes when I help people. And his brother’s coming um what’s today’s brother’s coming Thursday. His cousin’s coming Saturday. He’s told he’s telling everybody. And they’re like, “What? The guy gave him a hug after the round. No shit.” I’m like, So, you get in the brain of an expert just like I got in the brain of Jack and Lee and Olen Brown and Don Bees and George Burns. Um, J Jack Greg Norman. We used to play with Greg Norman and practice with him all the time at Jupiter Island back in the day. All the time. We’d be back at the range having a couple drinks, hanging out in our shorts, hitting balls, talking about how you draw it, how you fade it. This is an 88 when he was [ __ ] playing pretty damn good. Lee was there. I was so lucky as a 20-year-old to have that. So lucky to learn from these guys, you know. It was amazing, man. Amazing. Yeah. Get a swing. So you know how to do it. So down the line like this, like Scotty has. So you put the camera like right in between your right where your hands are pretty much hanging down. Let me put the thing over here. Where is it? Why won’t this go over? There it is. So, put the camera Yeah. See where the camera is? Right about your hands kind of belt highish and then the other way face on, you know, belly button highish right at you. And just email them to me tomgillisipj.com and we’ll check them out. And if you want me to put them on here, I will. If you don’t, I’ll just critique it and send it back to you. If you want me to put it up, I will. I won’t hurt you too bad. I promise. And just give me a little, you know, the ball. I fade it, draw it, high, low, whatever you can just give me for information would help too, obviously. But all right, my friend. I’ll talk to you soon. Thanks. I’m going to go myself. I appreciate it, buddy. Thank you. Yeah. Send me those things. It’s not lesson, it’s coaching. I should call him coaching. Coaching. Coaching. Coaching. May 1st. Two to two. Boston at Philadelphia. Jiren Durant home run in the first inning. Lead off homer. Oh and two. Uh oh. No, he’s out. Oh. Oh, he dropped it. Did he drop it? No, he caught it. Did he? Yeah, he caught it. Who’s that? I don’t even know who that is. Looked like he dropped it. The left fielder. All right. Good game. Good game. Good game, people. Good game. Good game. 508 is where I’m from. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Scotty. Scotty’s a lefty. I’m going to freak people out with a lefty thing here. All right, we got about a minute left, folks. A minute left. Scotty is now a lefty. Let me get his thing off there. Lefty Lutz. I made him a lefty for Lefty Lutz, but he’s not a lefty. His name’s Lefty Lutz. There’s a freaking fly in here that’s driving me nuts. Looks like Phil Mickelson. Lefty. It’s not It is good to look at at different angles. You know, sometimes you want to look from the top down or like the side or in the front. So, I’ll put a camera out in the front and see it from the front to show people that the rotation coming through. All different types of way, different angles you want to see. You know what I mean? Anything you can do to to get a better view. And I I just think a lot of over coaching with all this too much technology where where you just want to pipe it at a cloud like right up in here. Just aim here. If that’s a driver, you know, a wedge up there, you know, trying to hit that building. Forget about all the turns and techniques. Be an athlete. Have an, you know, an athletic motion because let me turn it back to righty, guys. So, you see how he’s standing here at a dress. Just look like an athlete. He’s just arms hanging down. Nothing. He’s not reaching forward. He’s not in here. He’s not hunched over, rounded. just good athletic positions, you know? Good stuff. Good stuff. And copy the best. Copy these guys. You know what I mean? Copy them. Find the best at it and do what they do. Skiing, tennis, pickle ball, baseball, walker, beller. Oh, he’s got different pants on today. He’s got the socks. Normally, he wore like tight yoga pants cuz I made fun of him. No offense. Cuz he looks I didn’t think it looked horrible. He doesn’t look like a baseball player. Now he’s got the um the red socks like from his kneecap down. So that’s at least better than the other one. So I’m a uniform junkie. Sorry, guys. Big- time uniform junkie. See right? See right there? That’s an overlap grip, too. No, that’s interlock. I’m sorry. Interlocked. So that’s gonna that interlock doesn’t you don’t you don’t really you don’t [ __ ] as early as you do. It’s a wider swing and what’s he 6’2ish six I don’t know how tall he is but I wish I could put some videos up from the open yesterday his swing because you’d laugh at it. It would be funny. Just weird. But the ball’s in the perfect fairway. The ball’s perfectly in the fairway. perfectly in the fairway. But look at that rotation, guys. Get the get that body to turn and your arms will follow. If you if you just if your body’s not turning, it’s just going to be chops arm chop city chop sooie city. Turn that body. Just take a basketball. Can you hear me? Take a basketball. Go in the backyard. Throw it up against the wall and catch it. See? Throw it against the wall. Don’t Don’t do this cuz it’ll you know get the Boom catch it right in front of your chest. Boom. We used to throw medicine balls to each other and I’d go up to my finish my swing. He’d catch it and it do the same thing back to me. But take a basketball or soccer ball, bounce it and catch it. Bounce it and catch it. But to your chest. Get that body turning, guys. You’ll hit the ball better because if the body’s not turning, then your arms are going to be doing all this twist thing which turns the face. You don’t have face control. You can’t have that club face rolling over, open, closed, up or down. You got to keep it square to your spine. Think of it like a door closing, right? That door closed every time on my on my uh front door. Close every time. It doesn’t do that. Doesn’t do that. Doesn’t do that. That’s why that feet together drill is amazing. What the hell is he doing? Oh, he’s throwing a towel. Oh, he’s doing a drill. major league pitcher doing a drill. You want to see drills, go to the tour event on a Monday or Tuesday. You’ll see these guys with the balls out, the sticks, the turns, this that all types of drills happening. So, they’re training their swings. Monday, Tuesday. Wednesday, now they get into target mode. Target, target, target. It’s not all take it in, take it out. Target mode. You want to play your best, you have to focus on the target, balance, balance, finish, athleticism. target, but you get overwhelmed with thoughts of golf swing, you know, because if if you have a golf show on on the golf channel, you have to say something different every week. Nobody’s going to watch. But I don’t coach that way. I I mean, you’re going to learn different things. There’s so much to learn, but a lot of it’s the Hey, what’s up, my friend? But you got to learn the same thing. If you’re not doing X, you can’t learn Z or Y. You got to keep doing it and grind it and grind it and grind it and grind it and grind it. Good to see you, my friend. Thanks for popping in. Thanks for popping in. I appreciate it. Um, but see that how his body’s rotated and turned. We all have to do that. We got to get through it. We got to swing at it. You got to have balance. You got to have all that stuff. What’s new, my friend? How are you? I know. Nobody knows I’m doing it anymore. Tell everybody that I’m back doing it. You know what I mean? Nobody knows I’m doing it. So, we have to get this out to the world. So, I’ve been doing it for the last week, I think, pretty almost every day a little bit because I said to so and so, they go, “I don’t even know you’re doing it.” I’m like, “Well, I think YouTube’s crazy.” Well, I can’t say that because they are. They’re listening. But they don’t push you out. They like want you to suffer for a while with 20 people, 10 people, two people, and then when you stay persistent, then they’ll push you out more and get you out there. There’s no question that shadowban is a fact. I have so many stories I could tell you about that. They I told you they demonetized me for showing a video from the PJ tour that I didn’t fair use enough and I did a couple times and I they complained and I told them the f off. So, they cut me off of everything. It’s so sad. But but I’ll get it back. I just need to get ours back. I had to like start over. So, no big deal. Well, it was a big deal, but I’m trying to pretend it wasn’t a big deal because I get angry. So, I’m trying to be nicer and happier instead of angry. But angry TG gets more viewers. But I should have a separate golf channel, non-golf channel, you know, the TG Express channel. Bring that back where I’m getting crazy and arguing at people in the line at the mall and really see right. See awesome everybody take a look at that picture because the loft you have loft loft which means lack of [ __ ] talent but not really. Um so I was explaining this to a guy today. So he’s got a driver 3wood fivewood. We went to the first hole. We had five balls. We marked each one, one, one, one, three, three, three, three, three, five, five5. So he had five, he had 15 shots, five with each club. His fivewood went further than all of them because club head speed. He wasn’t have the right motion. He needs to work on his motion, but you have loft on your fivewood. It’s going to give you a launch angle and carry further and go better. Awesome. I love it. And some people don’t have the swing path or the swing speed to get the most out of the driver. The driver is the devil. People don’t want to hear it because they’ve spent $800 on a driver that they can’t use. They think that that’s the magic potion, right? It’s the magic potion. It’s a filter on your app, right? We all look prettier on the filter on the app. We look 20 years younger. Everything’s beautiful. There’s no such thing in golf. There’s no filter on your app for your driver. Use a 3-wood. Use a fivewood. Use a sevenwood. Use loft, please, people. And work on your motion. If you’re not going to work on your motion, use loft. See, I help everybody not just with their golf swing, but with what clubs to use, what you know, where to put the ball in your stance, how to aim. There’s so much to learn. You know what I’m saying? So, someone someone previously said, “Oh, I don’t think you can help me much. What’s your handicap?” I’m a six handicap. I would literally kill myself if I shot a six handicap. I would blow my brains up if I shot a 78. I would kill myself consistently. It happens. Bad weather, bad day. Of course. Of course. But no, I I shoot 68 every time I play. You know what I mean? So, a six handicap. I have to give him 12 shots. How? He can’t improve. Are you kidding me? And it’s easy to get better. Yeah, that’s I did my left one. Yes. Isn’t it awful? But what you got to remember this now, you don’t want a lot of lifting with your arms. You want your arm to turn. I’m assuming you’re right-handed. You want to turn and and and stay close to you and around. You know what I mean? You don’t want lifting. See, that hurts. I don’t want to lift. The the club doesn’t go. You don’t lift the club up. The club gets up by wrist [ __ ] and your shoulder turning. You don’t want to lift your arms up. You turn. So, there’s there’s drills you can do to get that body turning and you won’t hurt your arm. It might hurt a little, of course, but it shouldn’t affect you too bad because I I mine was messed up, but I could still hit the ball pretty good because I kept my arms tight to me. You see what I mean? Not a lot of this. So, try that. Make sure you stay connected. Keep your like a towel across your put a towel a towel a glove under your left armpit and just take some swings with that and just keep that in there. If you lift up, it’ll fall out. That’ll just get you to rotate better and and you’ll hit it better. But I’m glad to hear that you’re hitting that fivewood. Awesome move. Love it. Seven woods. These So now another thing too that people don’t know, these these golf balls don’t spin anymore, right? That’s why they go straighter. They don’t spin. So it’s hard to get the ball in the air if it doesn’t spin. You need you need lift to get the ball in the air. So the these pros like my 3-wood is 16 1/2° instead of 13 like it used to be because the ball don’t spin. So I need loft to get it in the air. Now, a driver is different because you’re hitting it off a TE and it’s higher. It’s teed up. You’re hitting up on it. So, the driver, I’m hitting up on it. That’s different. But a three-woods T lower. Where’s my lower T? I don’t know what I did with my lower T here. But, you know, a lower T, I want more loft on it. So, yeah, even try more loft on your fivewood and you’ll probably get a little more distance. You know what I mean? Oh, you’re welcome. Anytime, my friend. Anytime. I’m I’m glad to hear you’re hitting it better. That’s great news. But you have to have loft nowadays. The balls don’t spin anymore. Now, you know how they’re trying to add spin to the ball? Because these guys hit it too far, right? Because the ball don’t [ __ ] spin. If the ball spins, it curves more and doesn’t and it lifts more. But now, when it doesn’t spin, you need to get it in the air. So, you have to have more loft on your um your woods especially. Uh oh, popup. Uh oh, that’s going to drop. That’s going to drop. Oh, that’s so weird. Like when the shorts stop and the left fielder are trying to catch it, they’re like, “Ah.” Yeah, I’m glad to hear that, my friend. Good for you. Good for you. Good job. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. Yeah, but spread the word with everybody. Tell them I’m back doing this because nobody knows I’m doing it. I said, “Expert.” He goes, “What?” I go, “Yeah.” He goes, “I never knew.” I go, “I’m not going to call people up and say, “Hey, I’m back doing it.” It’ll all work out. I’m not worried about it. I have great guests coming on too. So I have a little I don’t know if it’s a live podcast. I’m not sure what you call it. Don’t tell experts. Nah, we all share everybody. But the lab guys are coming on. Um Gary Williams from the golf channel’s coming on. Tom Perz Sutton, few other guys. Um Coin Ferry Tour winners, PGA Tour winners coming on. I don’t want to use too many names, but I’ll be doing that probably in another two weeks or so. having guests on like they’re not in here. I’m in my [ __ ] kids’ bedroom at the moment, but we’ll be doing it remotely. Um, great great interviews with Legends of the Game. He will shout me out. I love it. Intel. Yeah, I got to do one of those Friday night lives again, too. So, got to get back into it. It’s been a while since I’ve done this on a consistent basis, so it’s still I love doing it. It’s just I was I had a health issue, so I had to take a break. But we’re back, baby. We’re back. So, I plan on doing like Monday, Thursday night golf talk and then sporadically through the days. Yeah, I’m going to do some days, too. So, Monday, Thursday night, I should do later at night, too, right? Because different times. So maybe it’s like 7:30 Monday, 9:30, Thursday, and then some days, some golf tournament days. I don’t know. I I need like a a a advisor when to do it and when not to do it. I’m up to like 10,000 subscribers or so. So, it’s getting there. It’s getting there. And again, I really even do it, you know? So, but I actually want to help people. So, I I mean, these guys are making a fortune doing this, and that’s great. But they’re not helping golfers. They’re they’re they’re just entertaining you, which is good. I appreciate it. I’m going to make some new ones, obviously. So, now I can now that I can go outside again. I hit some balls today, which is nice. But I have a lot of ideas. Where’s my notebook? Where’s my notebook? If I had my notebook, I’d know what to say. I don’t know. Oh, here it is. So, I’ve just got pages of notes, what, you know, videos to do. Um, this thing, this whole thing is just notes. And those are all the guests coming on. I’m working on it, but again, it’s I’m not I know how to teach golf and play golf. I don’t know all this stuff, you know what I mean? So, I have to learn all this and when to put videos out and all that. And it it does matter. But, it is nice to give lessons from right here. So an online lesson, people just send me the video, they Venmo me of money. It’s way way cheaper than doing it in person, but I don’t have to leave the house. I can just do it from here. So I want to grow that. And you know, I still want to do on live lessons and playing lessons, of course, but but I can I’m helping guys right now. I’ve got like two in Australia, Korea, China, um uh Italy, people all over the world are are taking lessons from me, which is great. Normally you have to be within, you know, 30 miles from me to do it. So, yeah, it’s fun. I I enjoy it. Yeah. Thank you for popping in. I appreciate the support. I do. This is This gig YouTube is not easy. It’s not easy. So, my biggest Well, not my biggest besides them demonetizing me, which is huge, right? I had 14 million views on my channel, right? and they took them away. And I can prove it to you. It says it right here. You’ll see this. I’m gonna share it with you. 14 million views. All right. All right. I’ll have to share it then do that. But so, and I I watch this stuff religiously, especially since they demonetized me, right? So I watch it like I mean crazy. So here’s the page. So right here the 14 mil right there. See that? I don’t know if you can see it, but maybe I can make that bigger and you can see it. I don’t know how to make it bigger, but right there it says 14 million. Right there. 14 million views. Lifetime 14.8 million. So, you if you went to if you go to my page and you click on my info and it says more, you can see like all my links and stuff and it’ll say how many views. It’s going to say 4.4 million. It said 13. I’m up to 14 million, but last week when I saw it, it said 13.875 million. And then the other day it said 3.5 million and I went nuts. And I called them. I go, “What is Well, that’s not accurate.” I go, “Dude, I’ve been watching this religiously and you demonetize me for no reason. Like, what what did I do? I wasn’t getting rich on YouTube. I was making some money, but I was getting rich.” And I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s like they just pick on you, it seems. And these videos don’t get put out. I was doing 35,000 a video, 40,000, and then the other day I had two two people. How do you get [ __ ] two people? It’s It’s crazy. And I feel, you know what I mean? It’s crazy. Yes, it’s nuts. So, you saw that 14.8 million. And again, if you go go on your phone, my page info more, it’ll say more. Click on that. It’ll say Tik Tok, Instagram, Venmo, and then views on the bottom. It’ll say 4.4 million. It’s not going to say 14 million. And I I contacted them and I said, “Oh, that’s wrong.” It said it’s I’ve been watching it for the whole time. It’s not wrong. They did something weird. It It’s just I just don’t understand why Why would they pick on little people? You know what I mean? And they make money off of me, too. I don’t understand it. I don’t get it. Oh, that’s all right. No worries. I figured I know you know how to spell, but that’s that’s the thing is like you can’t fight them either. You cannot fight them. They tell you X. Boom. They go, “You’re using other people’s.” I go, “I’m not using other people’s content. If I do, I fair use it. And they just said, “No, you got to start over. Start over. I have 60 lifetime, 67,000 hours worth of views.” It says it right here. Well, you can’t see it anymore. Says it right there. 14 million views. 67,000 hours. Now I have to get 4,000 hours again. I have to start over. I got to keep this the the subs, which thank God, but for no reason. Literally no. I mean, just tell me say don’t you you got to do better or or delete those videos or something stupid like that. It is so frustrating because I worked hard to get that that that whatever the stat I don’t know what the hell the milestone whatever you want to call it. YouTube’s not easy. How many people try this and just quit and and doing live shows? So me doing these new live show things you get 10 people, five people, eight people. That’s how it works when you start, you know, and then you get 25, then 50. You have to keep doing it and be persistent. They want to see if you’re going to quit. They want me to quit. They’re saying, “We’re not going to tell anybody he’s doing it. We want him to quit. If he’s wants to do it, he’ll do it.” You know what I mean? It’s crazy. I’m at like 800 now. This is in like two months. But I didn’t, like I said, I I gave up on it, too. So what I got to is this kind of you just got to get more people watching and it and shorts don’t count. Shorts I have like 4 million views but that don’t count. 5.3 million views that don’t count. You have to have the videos in live shows. So this is helping me right now. This is helping me. That’s why I’m trying to do more shows. So if I can get five 10 hours a day the 4,000 will be faster. You know I got to make more videos too I guess. it. But we’ll get there, you know. We’ll get there. It’s just frustrating, you know, because you worked hard to get to a certain milestone, start making some money. Good. This is my career. This is my job. Not YouTube ain’t my job. Teaching golf and talking golf is my job. So, if I can do it from here instead of out there, what’s the difference? And you know what’s funny? I hope I hope people don’t take this wrong, but I’m actually helping people get something done. You know what I mean? I’m helping them. I’m not entertain hopefully I’m entertaining you, but I’m also helping your swing or your thoughts golf wise. I’m not just playing golf and you watch me go play golf. I could do that. Who? I was watching a guy. He’s got 700,000 followers and I’m sure he’s a nice dude. He’s playing just playing golf and he’s oh I hit the ball over there and then I’m going to chip it on the green and I’m like no he’s not giving a lesson or a playing lesson million views two million views I’m just laughing some of these guys have two million views just showing nothing but people like them because they’re funny or they’re good-looking and they entertain you but they’re not helping your golf swing. I don’t want I really don’t this is gonna sound stupid. Two million followers. I don’t I don’t I don’t need the money that bad, but I want to help like I when you when I want to help you play better. I want to help whoever’s out there play better golf. And if I can make some money at it, fine. But I want I do want to help you play better. That’s But I can’t If I had two million, you can’t do it. You’re too big. They’re too big. They’re not golf coach. Grant Horvat’s not a golf coach. He’s a great player. He’s a good entertainer. He’s not a great golf coach. Not He’s doesn’t He doesn’t know how to coach. He doesn’t know. He doesn’t He might know a few things, of course, but he don’t know how to get deep dive and coach people to get them to play better. He doesn’t. And that’s okay. I appreciate it, my friend. Thank you. I appreciate it. That’s what I’m here for because they work. I’ve been doing this. I’m not doing this. I just don’t make this [ __ ] up. I That’s how I do it every day. And that’s how I train. I played pretty good. You can see my stats. I play okay. But that’s how I practice. That’s why I train my kid who was state champion. That’s how I my family. That’s how we train people. The same as I would do it. Do I look the same as this other guy? No. But in our minds, we think we’re doing the same thing. And that’s how you become a a more consistent player. And then you enjoy the game, you know. Uh oh. Double play. No. What’s the expert talking about? Oh, you told me that. Yeah, this Karen Reed case took up a whole bunch of people. That’s a wild wild thing. And these trial guys, I I I don’t want to do trials, you know what I mean? I just I don’t I don’t want to do trials. I want to do golf. What I know how to do what I do best. And this is how you do it. You got to take your beating live because I when I first started doing it, what, two years ago? Well, I took a year off, so three years ago, I remember I took a beating like I am now. And I was saying to my wife, I go, “Oh my god, nobody hate everyone hates me. I suck. I suck.” And then all of a sudden, it’d be 10 years ago, five years ago. I mean, five years ago, be 10 people, 20 people, 50 people, 100 people, 800 people. That’s how it works. You just have to keep doing it. I started playing four years ago. Got tired of going on the course and watching while my guy and his friends played. Ah, you go. Just take, you don’t even need a club. Just do the drills. Look at some of my drills and swing with your feet together. Practice making a nice balanced finish swing. Forget about the ball. This guy is the devil right here. You can’t Uh oh, I froze. You can’t worry about this ball. You got to You got to focus on the target and finishing balanced. Be an athlete out there and and you’ll play better. You can’t worry about the ball. You can’t hit a ball. You have to make a good You have to make a swing. I have a good swing, the ball goes. I teach you to have a good swing. The ball just gets in the way of that. You really have to take that approach. You really do. This is a close game. I love it. What time is it? Oh, it’s only nine o’clock. Um, yeah, you you got to forget about the ball. You can’t just hit the ball. You’ve got to just make a fluid motion. Forget the ball. Take a million practice swings without a ball, and you’ll see a a better a better golfer come out, and you’ll play you’ll unleash that wild animal beast to play better. I’ve just seen it so so much when and that’s why so the guy the first the guy I had today I just had a small bucket there’s like 30 balls we hour lesson and he’s looking go is that enough balls I go first thing he said I go enough balls that’s too many he goes what I go we’re going to work on your swing my friend we’re not just going to beat balls all day we’re not here to beat balls you know we’re here to to work on your motion and he’s like oh I never thought of it like that no [ __ ] because you’re a doctor or a plumber you’re not a expert golf coach and and I know how to practice because I’ve done it. I’ve lived the life. I know what it takes. And you try to educate people how to practice, how to think, how to aim, not just keep your head down, keep your left arm straight, bend your knees, all that stupid voodoo [ __ ] that everyone’s talking about that just doesn’t know what they’re doing. They’re just guessing. That’s like me trying to go cook. I’m going to go on Guy Fett’s show and cook. No chance. zero chance of winning. I won’t even make food. I don’t even know what it will be. It’ll just be garbage in a plate. No idea how to cook. Just because I watch his show, like people watch the golf channel, doesn’t make me an expert at cooking. Yeah, I I know how to turn the oven on and throw food on the plate. I don’t know how to how long to cook it, how to sear it, whatever that means, and brown it or graze it or, you know, I don’t. But I watch the show because it’s funny to me and I enjoy it. I grocery games, whatever it’s called. I think it’s funny, but I can’t cook and I never will be able to cook. Maybe if I took cooking lessons, but I don’t I don’t want to cook. I have a cook. My my wife might cook, but you know what I mean? So, golf’s a tricky game. It’s hard. People make it harder than it is. And that’s what I have a problem with is is they spend all this money on clubs and playing, but they don’t spend the money to learn how to play. And it’s not that expensive, you know. It’s wild. Wild, my friend. Game’s tough. It’s a tough one. But it’s not that hard if you do it right. You know, that’s what I was telling the guy today. I go, I do it better than you. I have two arms, two legs, 10 fingers, two eyes, two noses. Look at the long hair on this bro. Matt Stum. So yeah, if you have any questions, email me tomgillspj.com. Glad to help you out, my friend. If you need any help with what clubs to use, what balls to buy, anything, please contact me. All right, it is I love practicing. I love it because I know it’s going to make me kick ass on the golf course, but I love training and working at it. Again, I don’t compete anymore, so I don’t really grind like I used to, but I have the medicine ball, the basketball, the bands that, you know, and and do all the drills to, you know, swing speed drills to to to be a better player. And I probably should do it as I get older. So, I just my body’s in better shape, I guess. But, uh, but competing wise, I don’t play anymore. So, I just don’t grind. I can still play, but not not for money, you know, big money. I can play my friends for money, but I just don’t train like I used to. And you don’t have to do that either. You still just have to do a little bit to be better. You put a little bit of practice in, you’ll be so much better when you get on the golf course. That’s an absolute fact. All right, my friend. I am going to call it a day. Hour and a half is good for me because I get too crazy. So, I appreciate you stopping by. Yeah. Yeah. Keep checking out the videos. Yeah.
