Right you can leave me the way here this is a lovely another lovely haul it kind of dog legs from left to right you can definitely take the green on really is that is that the smart play no no but that’s what we’re doing we want to see it okay that go oh Yes that’s phenomenal yeah that’s got to be good that’s to be be very good golfers around the world myself included when they learn golf you can bet their bottom dollar that chances are they’re going to look at a swing of yours right for some help coaches pull your swing up as the

Absolute grade a pin up of gold swings it’s a thing of beauty it’s poetry in motion sometimes thanks yeah yeah doesn’t always feel like that but yeah yeah well of course it’s difficult to see things sometimes from the inside but from that is how it is you know your

Swing is one that is idolized by golfers men and women around the world what do you think the secret is to a good golf swing um I actually think rhythm is the secret I mean there are some fundamentals that probably everybody could use but uh you know developing

Your own Rhythm and owning that rhythm of what works for you I think is the biggest thing and over the last at least 15 years golf coaching has become incredibly um technical there’s so much information I’m not saying the coaches have but there’s just so much information from biomechanics we’ve broken it down

To you know a million frames a second or what whatever it is so we can see everything but you know I think think no matter what uh path your swing is on and how the club face looks if if you understand your own rhythm of how the

Club has to move around your body then you can have a really great golf swing I love that yeah I’m going to think of that yeah find a rhythm that’s all I try and do on the Range before most rounds Anyway that’s better okay yeah once you start thinking position it’s hard to keep a rhythm because you’re like putting the club somewhere so there’s less flow and I kind of associate Rhythm and flow to go together yes and I heard this like when you get

To the top the back swing has to mature up there like it’s there’s a time it might not be stopped you know like some guys stop now but then there’s a time where it’s at the top you know as it slows down to transition it was like the

Back swing has to mat and I really liked that yeah and I think about that sometimes when I’m you know anxious or whatever and you get up there and you’re too quick to rip rip it down it’s nice and it allows the club to like really

Load and transition strong I think it it also speaks of that people think when they need to hit it hard and fast that speed from start to finish is required and I think it’s a real skill to achieve what you have and what professional golfers have in there yours

The ability to I think yeah I think that’s mine yeah um effortless speed is it’s it’s to make it effortless Yeah yeah I really think all the information we get Now is really fascinating but when it comes down to teeing off in a tournament you know you’ve got to just let go of all that and play still play the game yeah and when when you know you watch the best

Players most of them are doing that they have like this just talent to get the ball around of course what do you think is the best round of golf you’ve ever had in your life that I’ve ever had yeah that you’ve been flowing yeah I think I

Think I remember it’s so long ago so that’s terrible but I shot 10 under at mfield Village the second round of Jack’s tournament in ’06 and it was a really hard setup that year and I had a horrible warm up that morning on the Range like really struggling to get a

Ball flight with anything and decided to do some like set and turn thought for the day just to like get me around somehow today and it started okay and I birdied the second and then then I got going and I was going I come off the 15th and I needed a

Birdie bird two or the last three for 59 and I ended up bogeying the 16th but it just all all started happening and I on that setup I think that was probably the best round of golf I ever had when I get in close like this I picture Cricket

Pictures to do you yeah for an eyeball yardage like 20 20 20 and 20 like a cricket strip yeah so not that I’m a good cricketer but if I was bowling and I’d see a batsman at the other end that’s 20 yards you know so wow yeah so

I’d be guessing this is uh 45 Maybe okay cool it’s got to go yeah nice skip on I just slid under it a little bit there how important do you think it is to play golf sometimes eyeballing things if at all yeah it’s it’s pretty important I I don’t really get a yardage

Unless it’s 50 I would say most of the time so 50 and in you’re eyeballing in yeah pretty much would you describe yourself as a field player I certainly once would have done done that but Pro probably still a little bit because you know I’m not a

Huge track man I don’t spend a lot of time on track man and stuff like not every day although I there is good benefit for wedge play with that but once you’re getting down into 40 yards and stuff I think I think the feel can overtake some of those kind of mechanics y

Yeah you like to use your feet and aim point is I do very much part of your yeah I’ve kind of been a aim Point disciple for a long time now I think myself going back myself and Hunter Mayan were maybe the first two guys to

Aim Point okay a lot of the lot of the girls on the LPGA were already doing it but yeah it just didn’t get out on tour and then now since they banned the green reading books so many guys now aim Point I’ve always wanted to ask ask how the

Shoes you’re wearing affects the way you feel the green yeah cuz sometimes you see guys changing from a flat shoe to like a big like right that’s not ideal if I I pretty much wear the same ones all the time so I think that’s helpful

If you can do that how would you like the flag yeah you can leave it for me that’s fine I’ll leave them in on most Parts kind of got a soft two here soft too okay yeah it’s out there to the right a little bit break yes oh great

Effort thank you I think the aim Point’s just such a great start point to putting you know I said I’ve been putting’s been a sensitive area in my game but it I’d say it’s the most solid area of my game now for sure and reading the green is the

First important part of putting in my opinion and having like this method no matter where I go I can use this method and it’s a great start point and then after that I think aiming the putter is the next most important thing so I practiced that a lot and the third thing

Is the stroke and I actually don’t even practice my stroke anymore really yeah so it’s like really freed me up to feel so confident with putting wow yeah just kind of getting those first two elements really good yeah so you mean you just step right into it and you

Take the part I mean I don’t take practice strokes but I don’t when I practice part on the greens I don’t focus on my stroke I practice aiming this is pretty ho too another one it’s a gorgeous hole Yeah par three up the hill 153 yards 153 up the hill playing like

160 maybe yeah of course it’s an a iron for me me but I don’t have the Aon I brought a half set today okay that’s interesting you’re going have a bit of feel so yeah the easiest way to take some off is probably cut us a little

Bit right I think so we’ll go with that what’s your one thought when you think I need to hit a cut uh just just aim a little left you know and I think then naturally everything else will kind of happen like I don’t really Force the club face open

It’s probably going to be a little open anyway cuz I’m aiming left and I’m also subconsciously going to hold the club off a bit more through the ball cuz I don’t want it to go left so just go a little left and have like a a fade kind of theme Going that’s fine yeah the green feeds from from left to right okay Strike work there’ll be so many golfers watching this and as we kind of touched on in the golf course you are you are one of the greats you’ve become one of the greats and not only in your classical swing that just looks so effortlessly beautiful but you

Know in in your performance a major champion and what you’ve achieved on the golf course with that swing and you have to have something to achieve in sport you have to an edge or a grit or a resilience a mindset somewhere that takes you there because there’s so many things that knock you

Back on the way where do you think you developed that Elite ability I think definitely some of it is uh you’ve got it or you don’t for sure you know and that’s that’s harsh out the womb yeah you’ve kind of got it or you don’t there’s definitely some of that

But uh even even the greatest in whatever they’ve done they they work for sure they worked hard you know and and they figured a few things out along the way and uh you know there are times throughout the career where I mean I remember certain things and you know the we talk

About patience a lot in golf you know it’s 18 holes and you know don’t react to a double bogey but then someone told me like the the greatest are not patient they want it now right you know like don’t waste time being patient don’t don’t think ah it’ll it’ll I can

Practice next week you know the greatest are out there practicing right now so little things like that were motivation to keep me moving in the right direction but more than ever certainly as I got to my best play and and since then now uh I think everything is just a bit of

You know you’ve got to understand yourself and balance everything out you know at 43 years old I can’t practice like I’m 21 you know if I practice 7 hours on the Range I’ll have to practice next week cuz I can’t come back out tomorrow you know so you’ve got to find

That balance with everything and I think um looking back on it at times I balanced too much away from the game you know I was surfing I really enjoyed ened that I lik being at the beach and I felt good about that but you know just didn’t

Always have the right balance to play as good as I possibly could but in another way those escapes were really good and I’ve had longevity at the top of the game for a long time so I wasn’t far off but you know you have to it it’s like

Everything at the at the very top level it’s a fine fine line with everything your pace puing is so good yeah what why is it so good I think it’s to do with the putters I’ve chosen to use actually yeah the putters I choose to use are pretty uh heavy Putters so on

Long putts with that like highi there’s never really a Mis strike so as long as my touch is pretty good it’s going to go the distance I swing it every time you know so it has been good for a while yeah Beautiful get nearly great pot thank you car five driver N9 iron yeah thoughts well take advantage of those easy holes yeah yeah putting has been like probably the biggest Journey for me in my career I think really yeah you know for the first you know I was I’m a good Putter

And and always have been and I was a great putter as a kid and I think I puttered really well when I first turned Pro but they didn’t have all the same statistics back then MH and I don’t think the statistics showed how good a putter I was when I first turned Pro

Right and uh it was a bit of a like a temperamental or a touchy area for me putting okay cuz I’ve been like a nice swinger of the club and a good ball Striker yeah my putting was criticized a bit more than uh if I wasn’t a good Striker so

Yeah I got a little touchy with that and then when I had moments where I wasn’t putting well I think it affected me more than other parts of my game like the confidence went really yeah so and then in the end I was really frustrated with uh my putting in

2010 it was either really great or really bad there wasn’t any consistency nothing in between and that’s when I started experimenting with a long putter right just to start from scratch something new yeah completely fresh would you say it felt like a different game from the game of potting with a

Short Potter versus the game of potting with a long Potter are they the same uh well when I changed it felt like a new game like this is great yeah you know it was a freedom it was you know it something was easy again mhm and and uh

You know so when you walk to the course and you’re confident in any area of the game that’s a good thing so I started walking out there feeling like I know I’m going to putt solid today yeah and that freed up the rest of my game I think who taught you how to

Putt my dad kind of taught me everything as a kid but uh I don’t know I think I think other than my dad giving me fundamentals and things like that I was really good as a kid at like watching watching the guys on TV and mimicking what they did

Whether it was a rhythm like Ernie ‘s or uh putting you know Greg watching Greg Norman putt uh I was really good at like going out and putting myself in their shoes when I was practicing so I got little bits from all those great players I think who did you love to watch

P uh growing up or now or any time in your life I think I really I I really loved watching Ernie putt especially once I became a pro and was you know short his whole short game but his putting and I played so much golf with him early in my

Career and just saw such incredible stuff I mean thinking of him hauling that part at the President’s Cup in 03 against tiger uh in the playoff in the dark to kind of keep everything level yeah the pressure and but it was just so pure and tiger was obviously

Pure as well watching putt did you ever get a shot of his backup putter I should have done that now yeah see I wasn’t smart enough to do That

  1. Awesome video.. Iona.. you have a smooth swing.. but Adam and Fred couples have a dynamics tempo swing.. the big easy as well

  2. I’ve always said rhythm is so important in the game.
    It’s always the answer I give when asked about playing,because it’s all through the game.
    Also it stops you from trying to smash the ball as hard as you can cos you can loose everything.
    And that’s exactly what Adam Scott has rhythm though out his game which makes his swing such a wonder to watch.
    And it’s always great to listen to what the greats have to say 😊

  3. Love Adam’s philosophy about the game, and his swing isn’t half bad as well 🙂. Love the way you quickly put people at ease so you get the most interesting dialogue from them. Such a skill 👏👏

  4. Yes I'm a huge Adam Scott fan and I study his golf swing but people are also missing just how good Iona swings the club. I study both of their swings and they both have excellent tempo.

  5. Yep, a couple of class acts right there. I love that he's got a tiny bit of old school in him. And I think Iona has as well. And I really love that he qualified for Royal Troon. Thanks and looking forward to the next one as always.

  6. Thanks Iona, lovely edit of the original to highlight Adam's thoughts on the swing. Of course, no way we could hear those thoughts without your inteligent and probing questions. Wonderful conversation.

  7. Great video Iona playing a few holes with Adam Scott it doesn’t get any better.

  8. Soooo good, more great golf awareness. By the way loved the dog picking the ball out of the rough on your short vid today

  9. I could watch Iona interview and play with Adam every day. Tomorrow: Adams Mental Game Secrets, Next Day: Adams Secret to being fashionable! Thank you

  10. best looking swing, amazing bloke, good looking, amazing golfer. is there a man alive that doesnt want to be this man?

  11. So sad about your pro golf career Iona but…..bugger me, what a lovely job you have now!

  12. first video I have ever seen of yours. What a fantastic 17 minutes!! Amazing video. Great questions and gave Adam all time he needed to take his long pauses and give thoughtful answers

  13. I always wonder if he had of been a more consistent putter how many more opportunities he would have had. I’m sure deep down he does also.
    Keep hearing them words. Drive for show putt for dough.

  14. Great edit of the original conversation you had with Adam. Thank you for creating this insightful 17 minutes of video. Love listening to you both discussing golf.

  15. Would really like to play 18 with this dude… just a great guy, awesome swing and seems genuinely humble
