Hey everybody, thanks for watching. I’m going to talk about five things that I saw that Scotty Sheffller does that I think that everybody can do. Real basic, simple things that he does in a way that I think can make everybody better at golf. They’re things that I’ve taken to heart that have made me better at golf. And I think there and it’s not super complicated stuff. It’s really basic stuff, but if you do it, it’ll make you better at golf. So, I’m going to get straight into the list now. Scotty Sheffler just won the Open Championship and everybody was kind of universally kind of bored with the entire thing. I think if you took Scotty Sheffller off the top of the leaderboard, then you had like a really riveting, exciting uh leaderboard. But I think that is the first thing to know that Scotty does that we should do is I think a lot of us should be a lot more boring in our approach to golf. I went to the US Open this year and one of the things that I learned from watching that is that them playing the US Open, they end up shooting about the same scores that I shoot at my municipal course that I play at, like Elorado Park Golf Course. So, which is interesting. The Oakmont set up for the US Open, insanely difficult. Elorado Park is not that hard. It’s not nearly that hard and uh it’s about average for for a normal course. But I was thinking I should play the way they play. I’m not even I’m nowhere nowhere near as good as them, but I’m playing on a much easier course. So, I should probably have a swing strategy the way those guys play the US Open. Meaning, they’re putting an absolute premium on hitting fairways and hitting greens and not going for anything tricky, not really getting it like too risky, just like plotting your way forward and trying to make like collect as many pars as possible. That that’s the first thing. But for Scotty, the first thing is a renewed focus on your grip. What Scotty Sheffler does is every day before he plays golf and maybe even on his off days, but he has a form grip and he’s working on his grip. And you see he doesn’t just mindlessly put it on. Every time he grabs that form grip and watch a video of it, every time he grabs that form grip, it’s as if you gave it to a person and it was the first time they ever put their hands on this form grip. He’s It looks like he’s really getting it on in a very unique way. I feel like when my swing gets off, it’s usually something that’s very basic about what I’m doing. And so I have my grip club because I’m checking my grip. I have the alignment sticks down because I want my alignment to be good. And that also helps me with my ball position. And then usually either Randy or Teddy’s back there making sure I’m taking the club back online. And uh I’m just working on my form and then hitting shots. And it’s it’s pretty much my normal practice routine. That’s exactly how I practice at home. And so when you come to a tournament, it’s just more of the same. And I’ve been doing some work recently with Lee Dietrich behind the scenes about the grip and kind of the function of what each hand does. And there’s actually once you really know what each hand is supposed to do, there is something really really genius about the standard orthodox golf grip. And uh even those form grips can teach you. So I would say everybody should get one of those or do something to improve your grip. It doesn’t mean your grip is going to look like Tiger Woods 2000 or Scotty Scotty Shuffler 2025. It might look like Azinger. It might look like something else, but you have to learn like what is the function of why you’re holding it a certain way. And there’s just certain things that no good player does as far as like gaps in the grip and other stuff like that. So, just a renewed focus on your grip is the first thing we can learn from Scotty Sheffler. Number two, balance is probably overrated in golf, but dynamic balance is underrated. All right, what does this mean? When a lot of people try to have a balanced swing, they end up not moving. So, they basically they think balance means like, okay, there’s a statue standing there that’s really balanced. That would be hard to push over. But in golf, you really want to concentrate on dynamic balance. That means the balance of the entire system as you’re hitting the ball. So that means that if you’re swinging a certain way, you’re doing something else that is going to balance that force in harmony with itself. And I think the best thing you can do to learn this from all the stuff I’ve seen is eyes closed swing. Imagine that there’s a shadow of you like it’s casting on the ground and you don’t want the shadow to move too much, but you want to swing fast. Close your eyes and take some swings both directions and keep the swing in constant motion and just feel as as the club tugs on you, you kind of tug on the club and you just swing a lot more in balance. And that is what Scotty Sheffller is an absolute expert at. He swings with a lot of force, but then he’s counteracting those forces with forces he’s pulling back on the club. So the club’s going out, he’s pulling back on it as a beautiful strike. And sometimes all that stuff will equal some over ununityity and he tips over or leans or something like that and looking and the feet shuffle. All that stuff is a little bit of style, but I mean it’s there’s a function to why he’s doing that. So eyes closed swings, even hitting uh foam balls with your eyes closed a little bit, it can really help you a lot. doing other things that where uh the bender stick used to do this where you can kind of feel where your swing is and plays or watching in real time your swing on video from another angle or mirror work or things like that. Anything you can do to swing in tempo and keep your dynamic balance really good. Dr. Quan, when I saw him in Texas, he said of all the things that he does, the number one thing he he sees that makes people look better biomechanically is stage X, which he’s that’s constant swinging back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. I think if people do that a lot, they’ll get better dynamic balance just like Scotty Sheffller. All right, number three. There’s something about a band and a stick. This is something that there there’s a product called Golf Forever that Scotty Scotty Sheffller endorses, but I’ve seen him use it like even on his own. And if you look uh so it’s a stick with a band at the end of it. I like the downshift golf one. It’s cheaper and it’s just as good as the Golf Forever one and uh you can go online and you can find different workouts. But basically, if you do the basic thing where you have it set up to the wall back there and you have that band and stick here and you’re going like that and stretching it and like if all you did was that motion there, you know, the different chops and stuff, the bandon the stick is something really good. And banded stuff is just I think peak golf performance tool. I’ve noticed that your body seems to turn into the tool you use a lot. So, if you’re using that rubber band, your body becomes more like a rubber band. That’s what I think anyway. And that’s one of the reasons I really like the gravity fit is you put it on and it gives you that good stability and you can do the things with it, but then it gives you that elasticity to your muscles that’s also springy and it’s has power. I really like that. One of the things I love to do with the gravity fit is just go walking around with it, but also I put it around my foot and I do that same thing that I was doing with the band and stick. I really like that. It’s something that Scotty Sheffller, if you watch his workouts, he’s on the Bosu ball wiggling around, tossing tennis balls back and forth, you know, warming up his dynamic balance, and he’s using bands a lot. So, he does everything. He does the weights and stuff as well, but I think for us, I think do all kinds of different band stuff. It’s something that Tom Brady has talked about really helped his longevity was working with bands specifically, those stretchy bands or pull-up assist bands. All that stuff is great. Okay. The other thing that Scotty did that I think we can learn from is go get a putting lesson. I’ve met a lot of people that have taken golf lessons. Sometimes they’ve taken thousands of golf lessons, hundreds of golf lessons. I haven’t met that many people that have taken a putting lesson. And this is something that Scotty Sheffler like he humbled himself. He went to Rory Maroy for advice. And Rory has worked with Brad Faxton before and he knows a lot about how to get better at putting because he’s had struggles and he’s had success with putting. and Rory uh told him, “Hey, why don’t you try the mallet putter?” He changed putters. He at least tried it out. And then he went and uh recommitted himself to the lessons with Phil Kenyon, his putting coach. That’s something I think everybody should do. Go get a putting lesson, preferably a coach that is really good at putting and has some technology like some tech like the capto or something like that. And then once you do that, I think you really should like book out a certain block of lessons where only the first lesson is your uh swing lesson so to speak or your stroke lesson with putting. Everything else you should think of a lot more like it’s a personal training session where the coach is going to go there and is going to train your putting. It’s going to set up different drills to do and things like that. This is the thing that’s the hottest thing and one of the hottest things that’s new on the PJ tour is they have a coach, but then they also have a practice coach like my friend Will Woo. He uh works with Victor Perez on the PJ tour where he sets up drills and practice things to do that um is totally separate. Like he works with the coach, but then they say, “Okay, this is what he needs to get better on.” And then they figure out like, “Okay, what is the practice drills?” And that’s really how you could work with a putting coach and be like, “Okay, let’s work on this today.” And just for an hour or an hour and a half, you guys are, you know, he’s making sure you’re doing the drill right. He’s keeping you on task. Things like that would make everybody so much better cuz that’s probably the lowest hanging fruit is to make more six to 10footers and make more two putts instead of three putts. Another thing is get to the course earlier. This is uh something that I saw. There was a video of Scotty Sheoffller and all these other pros at the Travelers Championship. Most guys were getting there like two hours or something beforehand. Scotty Sheffller was traveling with his, you know, family and little kids and stuff and he got there 5 hours and 20 minutes before his tea time. Now, you don’t need to do that. I mean, he’s obviously going to be doing a workout at the course and he’s going to be eating. He’s going to be hanging out with his family and doing other stuff like that to get ready. But in general, you have to think about it like this. You have to get the course earlier because you’re going to play this round of golf and it is going to determine your mood until the next time you play golf, which might be a week, it might be a month later. So, if if you’re going to do something that is going to really affect your life profoundly for the next like say 48 to like 150 hours or whatever beyond, then you really ought to put some work into getting into golf. It does take some time to transition from life to golf. Meaning like you need some time. It’s almost like going through a uh a time tunnel or something like that. When you’re transitioning into like, okay, now I’m ready to play golf. You have to start like giving give yourself some time to detach from the the worries and stretches stresses and the other things you have going on in your life so that you can focus on golf. Golf is really hard. And uh if somebody as talented as Scotty Sheffller needs that much time just to get locked into a golf space, then you definitely need time. And it’s not really about getting to the course and beating a ton of balls, making a ton of chips, making a ton of putts, but just being at the course, uh maybe buying a snack, paying for your round, and just not being rushed by the time you get to to the first te. and like you know giving your there’s specific things I’ve talked about before as far as really long lag putts um trajectory chips and uh certain drills to do on the range that I could do a whole video about a warm-up, but just being there and not being rushed and being in that golf atmosphere earlier. You need to do something that’s going to get your heart rate elevated and then you’re going to get you calmed down again and then into the golf space. Now you’ve fully transitioned to your golf mind. And then after you’re done the round two, you also need to do something social with the guys you played with to then transition back into real world life. So get to the course earlier. All right. Final thing that I’ll say, and this is maybe not for everybody, but I think it’s true. Be thinner and be more slim, fit, uh more erect posture. If you look at Scotty Sheffller, obviously he’s got maybe like uh the perfect build right now for golf. He’s, you know, very muscular, long arms, tall, long levers, things like that, and he’s hitting the ball like 180 mph. There’s something about you have to know what your fighting weight is for golf. Now, that for you might be, you know, 240 lbs or whatever. It might be 165 lbs. There’s a certain fighting weight that you play your best at. And when you have a lot of fat on your body and you’re kind of dragging it around, that saps your energy throughout the day and during the round of golf. And then also, uh, you know, it really it sucks a lot of testosterone out of you and it, uh, makes you like weaker and less focused and all kinds of things. I think the best example for this, it’s non-scientific, but look at the US mid amitter. I think a guy like Stuart Haggistad or a guy like uh Dan Sullivan who’s now a senior amateur or even a guy like uh Tim Hoggarth you know from this area like these guys who are lifelong really good amateurs they all have this certain look and it’s this kind of long and lean and wiry kind of look to them. That is the kind of look that I think you’re going to play your best golf at. That doesn’t mean that you have to like get all the way down to that, but there’s certain things that you can do to become like this slimmer and more wiry version of yourself. That’s why I think like working with the stretchy bands and stuff is so good cuz it kind of you can kind of look at those guys and see like they look like a long bundle. Uh they look like a whole bunch of stretchy bands pulled tight and they’re ready to go play golf. There’s something to that. And I need to learn this just as much as anybody. But there’s there is definitely something to that. And there’s something uh the final thing that I’ll say that goes with that is think about how many steps per week Scotty Sheffller is taking. If he walks four rounds a week, plus he does the ProAm, plus he does his own practice, plus he does workout stuff like whatever, jogging or just walking around. That is like an unbelievable amount of steps in a week. Now, for for us, that would be a minimum of 10,000 a day or whatever. But there is something to just walk more and be upright. Go for a walk holding your golf club or get the gravity fit on and go for a walk. There’s something about a whole ton of walking that makes you a better golfer. All right, so that’s what you can learn from Scotty Sheffller to be a better golfer. Thanks for watching everybody. I put this video out like I do all my videos out early on the members site.

  1. HOW STUPID!!!……….you think a Hockey when he goes into a slump works on his grip? …… YOU think a Tennis player works on his grip? HOW about a baseball player on his grip? This is such bull shit! Go get an axe and square it on a tree! WHY in the world would you want to practice with your eyes closed, when YOU Hit the ball looking at it!!>………..Grab a ping pong paddle and play table tennis!

  2. I recently bought some insoles as I have high arches. It’s made a world of difference to my swing and balance.

  3. Indeed, I have struggled with putting. But I can’t afford the putting lessons that are so good it makes a real difference. Those kinds of lessons COST$$$!!! Chipping too. But I went to the trouble of spending MANY hours on the putting green and finding a putting stroke that works and a chipping stroke that works. (I was playing with the long putter until I learned how to putt with the standard putter. But now I’m switching back to the standard putter and with a system that works. Makes for a certain “joy” in putting.) But the way I am putting is sort of the Nicklaus open stance set up, or even a Raymond Floyd set up. It fits in with the way I hit my chips, with an open stance basically. I won’t go on about the details of the chipping and putting systems I’m using but I really do NOT think I would find a golf pro (instructor) that would have taught me what I learned on my own. Could I teach someone what I learned? I could IF someone would listen to me, and pay me because it takes some time and effort to teach such things. I don’t think anyone would be willing to pay to improve their chipping and putting, even because they would not believe I (or anyone) could help them. For some reason no one teaches short game, and it’s the most neglected part of most golfers total game. And the reason why no one is teaching short game is because no one truly has anything to teach of much value other than to remind the student to “keep your head still.” No one is paying for that. But I don’t see that anyone is really teaching golf as to the “full swing” very well either. And I don’t see that anyone that is getting lessons improves very much. I think there are “secrets” to the full swing and the short game strokes, but no one is giving away those secrets cheap. I know I would not give away swing secrets cheap. That’s why I’m not teaching golf — no one would pay a fair price for what I struggled to learn. And, again, I don’t see anyone ever really becoming a total golf pro from these “lessons” with their “local golf pro.” As I say I would give golf lessons but no one would pay me fairly to learn what I know, which at this point is about everything. You reading this don’t believe me, right? That is typical. I’d be skeptical too, but I’m more skeptical than others because I don’t have a lot of money to spend on a luxury like some really expensive but really effective golf lessons. And my approach to teaching? It would be first on a whiteboard to explain the physics of the golf swing and to illustrate the geometry of the golf swing, from that understanding we’d go to work with swing drills to develop the proper swing movements in the various body parts as necessary to be in full control of a total golf stroke — all of which leads to a very systematic swing that just works, and really, a very comprehensive understanding of the golf swing. And, indeed, some training and exercise would go into learning “the moves.” I don’t think anyone would pay to learn what I know. I think MAYBE, just maybe, that I could possibly convince someone to take my super-advanced golf lessons that are “not cheap” if (1) they would play 9 or 18 holes with me first to see I really know how to make low scores, and (2) they have the money to pay for the “not cheap” lessons, and (3) they are ready to make a commitment to learn what I have to teach to them. (There are some drills and exercises to be undertaken and maybe some talented athletes can quickly make the proper golf movements really rapidly, but most people just don’t have that talent and just would rather pay the “local pro” for what are really “beginner lessons” and just forever putting band-aids on a flawed swing and just convince themselves they can’t ever get any better, and so they even stop taking lessons from the “local pro” because they really don’t improve past a certain point — the “local pro” certainly is not going to teach the physics of the golf strokes.) But, generally speaking, beyond exercising (and stretching) and drilling enough to make the proper swing movements (in the correct sequence), that’s really all most fit and reasonably coordinated people need to learn golf to be a “scratch” player. But no one really believes me and has their own set of self limiting beliefs… that’s just the way people are, that’s just the way people think, and that’s why people can only get so good at golf. (And that is why they would never pony-up the money I would ask of them for a proper set of golf training lessons.) I think most people are content to just be outside and moving around a bit, and beating on a golf ball at the range is fun, and hacking around the golf course is fun. Actually learning what golf pros know, well, most people really are not interested in learning all that. But a few are interested, but either don’t have the money someone like me would charge for a total explanation of the mechanics of golf and/or if they do have the money, they just cannot believe that I would really teach them what they need to learn and know. And, indeed, I would charge the full price up front because I would not want to get started with a student and have them quit and think they can figure the rest out on their own. Indeed, after the whiteboard lecture on the physics of the golf swing I think some clever athletes might get the idea, and might even become really excellent golfers as a result — I don’t want to give up any secrets unless I get paid for the whole package of “lessons.” And that is why I think it is necessary to offer the chance to play 9 or 18 holes with someone interested in golf lessons on the physics and all the secrets of golf, so they can see I really know my stuff and they will learn if they pay me what I ask. It would be like going to a “magic shop” to plop-down like $10K or $20K or more to buy a really great magic trick (an illusion) to use to amaze and delight an audience. I don’t think many people would be willing to pay what it’s worth to be taught the secrets of “scratch golf.” But not knowing the physics and secrets of the proper swing movements i the next best thing is to get physically fit for golf. That alone will lead to golf performance improvement, usually.

  4. Very good video. Now that you have years of lessons behind you and 1.5k videos I would like to see a retrospective on which ideas are still part of your game today. For example what have you retained from Monty, Tim Yelverton, and Milo Lines. Perhaps a top 10.

  5. Thank you – very interesting – i liked all of these ideas, the stretchy bands and the “be thinner” stuck with me the most – i definitely do not get my 10,000 steps every day, that is something i can actively do
