I find it so fascinating that the best players don't do this.
31:41
So I will dive into the alignment.
31:42
Can I, can I tell you one piece, though, on-
31:50
Yeah.
31:51
And Serm, you can attest to this.
31:52
You saw this.
31:53
Like, I learned a long time ago that very rarely are you ever going to hit the ball, like, perfect or, like, how you envision it or, like, not miss a shot in a round of golf.
32:07
Like, it's just not going to happen.
33:12
Mm.
33:12
I think that's always been my Achilles heel in golf is I really haven't done a good job of being able to step off of a club and hit a, you know, hit a, a soft seven, right? Or hit a soft nine.
33:24
Like, it's always been full bore, everything I got, and I just kind of make it work type thing.
33:31
And conversations that I've had with some peers and with Mark, one of my older brothers, you know, the goal at the end of the day, whether you're hitting a five iron or if it's an eight iron or if it's a wedge, if you can hit the ball pin high and you can hit it on the green and you do that 15, 16, 17 times over the course of a round and you give yourself that many looks at birdie, there's a pretty good chance you're gonna play a really good round of golf.
33:59
Whereas before, I was of this mantra of I'm gonna hit it as hard as I can.
34:03
I'm gonna go it.
34:05
There's not a flag that I won't fire at or go at.
