Butch Harmon

You know, and then they got guys that are really helping people.

What's the difference, do you think? To me, the best tour coach is Butch Harmon.

Because when you walk the range, you can't say, oh, he's working with Butch.

Because a lot of these other guys, you see what they're doing.

You've got to stand up over and say, I'm knocking this in.

That's one of the things I find interesting with all this technology we have now.

I saw a clip with Butch Harmon talking how technology, you know, how's that helping people? You know, everybody's data.

Oh, how open did I open the face or close it or this or that? Or what was my tempo or what's my data? You know, it's like.

And for some of the younger teachers out there, I think it's harder for them to, you know, for them to be able to just say like definitively, like, this is what I need you to do.

And for, for people to listen and, you know, I know you and I have worked so hard listening to Butch and what Butch has done.

And, you know, when Butch Harmon speaks, people listen, um, So, yeah, I think the answer to that question, in my opinion, is yes.

It's harder to build confidence in players these days with all the information and noise that surrounds them.

How do you keep them on it? How do you keep people from – I mean, I don't think you can keep them from listening.

From a client perspective, a lot of times, if you can get the client ready to learn, then you can really do some work.

But if you're just ready to bombard them with, you know, track man numbers or 3d stuff, you know, it's like clients are going to be overwhelmed very quickly.

Cause I think one of the things, you know, Claude and Butch always said this to me, we think people know more than they do because we have done this for a long time.

He needed to flip the switch on how I am going to – match up my ball striking with my putting and simplicity.

So it is a fine line because we always, you know, there's many times as coaches and, you know, one of the most valuable lessons I ever learned from Butch Harmon, who was a great mentor and I've spent enough time around him, is Josh, I asked him when I was 25 years old, excuse me, 26 is my first year at Augusta.

I said, Josh, as Mr. Harmon, I want to be great in this business.

What do I need to do? He said, Josh, when something's wrong, you better say it with conviction.

second.

But acknowledged for the last several years as sort of the Butch Harmon, you know, the undisputed, you know, in the media, king of putting coaches.

For sure.

Even David Orr, who's probably the top researcher, I'd like to say probably he is the top researcher in putting and a great putting coach himself, but he just doesn't like the grind being on the regular tour or on the PGA Tour or any of the tours.
