Chuck BryantHOST
I don't know that feeling as much.
Adam PranicaHOST
Are you familiar with Bob Rotella at all? No.
Adam PranicaHOST
He is like, he's a well-known golf writer and he is all about the mental side of the game.
Adam PranicaHOST
And I've, I mean, he does, he has released like short audio books, the sort of audio books that you could listen to on the way to the course.
Davis Love IIIGUEST
I, it's a fine, fine line.
Davis Love IIIGUEST
So we coached them with Bob Rotella and a lot of other people in 2016 to say, "Hey, look, this team has never played together before.
Davis Love IIIGUEST
You, you have not lost three in a row." [laughs]
William KaneHOST
Mm.
8 MINS LATER
Davis Love IIIGUEST
And, um, and stood there with Steve Stricker practicing two dots on the green two weeks before over and over and over again.
Davis Love IIIGUEST
I think we overdid it a little bit.
Davis Love IIIGUEST
We, we over, like Bob Rotella would say, we overread the greens, you know? We, we weren't quite free.
Davis Love IIIGUEST
But we literally, and we, we put almost every pin on the left.
Bradley J. PluthGUEST
But the, uh, the over-coaching, like, if you're gonna coach parents, like, we- you wanna give your parent- your kids the best opportunities, right? But I always tell, uh, I got to work with Dr.
Bradley J. PluthGUEST
Bob Rotella at, at the University of Virginia, and he's, he'd always say, "It's the role of a parent or spouse to provide opportunity and encouragement.
Bradley J. PluthGUEST
Let your PGA professional teach the backswing." [laughs] So that's my, my take on that one.
Ricky PottsHOST
That's cool you got to work with him.
Padraig HarringtonGUEST
When I finished, it was a different feeling.
Padraig HarringtonGUEST
I walked off the golf course, I said to Bob Rotella, I said, now I know I can win this because nothing happened in 2006 that I felt was, this wasn't a lucky week, this wasn't an outlier, this was all me.
Padraig HarringtonGUEST
And I said, look, all I need to do is keep doing this.
Padraig HarringtonGUEST
And I will keep getting in contention and it will happen.
Michael LeonardHOST
Dr.
Michael LeonardHOST
Bob Rotella talks about this all the time, gives it the green light mentality.
Michael LeonardHOST
Every l- every putt is a green light putt.
Michael LeonardHOST
Even if it's a 52-footer over a ridge, you're still trying to make it.
John C. MaxwellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The first step in becoming a possibility thinker is to stop yourself from searching for and dwelling on what's wrong with any given situation.
John C. MaxwellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Sports psychologist Bob Rotella recounts, I tell people, if you don't want to get into positive thinking, that's okay.
John C. MaxwellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Just eliminate all the negative thoughts from your mind.
John C. MaxwellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Whatever's left will be fine.
David OgrinGUEST
And I wanted to learn more about, um, the teachings of Jimmy Ballard.
David OgrinGUEST
I couldn't get to Jimmy Ballard, but I could get to Gary Grove, who w- won on PGA Tour, his t- taught at Bob Olink for years and years and years up in Chicago.
David OgrinGUEST
And so I'm a collector of information like that, and, uh, that's why I like going to education seminars and stuff to talk to the people, um, that have these good ideas.
David OgrinGUEST
Eventually, always at the end, the player needs to be empowered to make his own choices, right? It's your game.
David OgrinGUEST
Then we might've seen, uh, The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey.
David OgrinGUEST
And then, uh, I th- basically the first on the scene is Dr.
David OgrinGUEST
Bob.
David OgrinGUEST
I can't think of anybody who was on tour doing mental game stuff before Bob Rotella, okay? I don't, I could be wrong, but, you know, Bob Rotella changes the game.
Paul MonahanGUEST
Very famous books have been written about it.
Paul MonahanGUEST
Um, I think the GOAT of all, who, who, uh, you know, from the mental game space, Bob Rotella, Golf Is a Game of Confidence.
Paul MonahanGUEST
You've probably read the book.
Tim GravesHOST
Right.
Matt DavisGUEST
I've always loved putting, and I saw the opportunity to try and help more people love it as well, so I went for it.
Mark ImmelmanHOST
Bob Rotella, noted sports psychologist, has said this to me in person.
Mark ImmelmanHOST
He goes, "For a golfer to be good," and I'm paraphrasing, "you've got to learn to love your putter." Now, to me, that's a tenuous relationship [laughs] at times, because when you're making putts, it's easy.
Mark ImmelmanHOST
Uh, when you're not making putts, most folks hate it, and they're going to buy new putters.
Mac McDonaldCORRESPONDENT
Remember, we got him on the phone and we talked to him, but just watching the newsroom react and how everybody really around the country reacted.
Mac McDonaldCORRESPONDENT
There is a wonderful story that, and Bob Rotella won't mind me telling it because he will not talk about it, and I heard it just days after on the Golf Channel, and Bob said it would be the last time that he ever talks about it, but Bob was actually on a...
Mac McDonaldCORRESPONDENT
Well, I'd have to count the planes, but there was a plane leaving Dallas.
Mac McDonaldCORRESPONDENT
Bob had an appointment to go speak at Pepsi-Cola.
Joe ThomasHOST
We'll get into this TMZ documentary... which turns out to be a big nothing burger, and I'm going to make clear how it's such a big nothing burger despite the headlines that pimp it.
Joe ThomasHOST
So the TMZ folks exposing the 9-11 cover-up.
Joe ThomasHOST
What it turns out to be, and by the way, 21 minutes into a 40-minute documentary, you finally find out what the cover-up is, is the flight crew from that plane that Bob Rotella was on was interviewed by the FBI the next day and asked them about open... floor compartments.
Joe ThomasHOST
Did tell them that I felt there were
