So you talked about kind of the training or the, uh, lessons you were taking to, to kind of-
I guess how is practicing for long drive different than just practicing simply to, like, play good golf? Or maybe another way of asking that is, like, what are some training methods or things that you're doing that maybe you would not recommend to, like, just the average person trying to break 100?
I mean, I guess the ultimate thing for me would be, like, where there's gonna be a point where gaining speed is not gonna necessarily benefit the golfer who's trying to play good golf.
So when I really focus speeds and, um, and focus on long drive, my game as a whole is [chuckles] very volatile.
And people say, "No, my game is volatile." It's like, no, I'm, my game is volatile.
Um, so there's kind of a diminishing returns on gaining speed and power, um, unless you can use it and obviously put it, put it to work the right way, right? You can control it, is a better word.
Um, but I think the basics of training and movement, I think anyone and every golfer should be participating in that and focusing on that in a game.
Um, sort of learning how to use the power of the force through the ground up, and just gaining strength I think helps, you know, in any sport really.
... definitely in golf, 'cause using the power more efficiently, you know, it's a smoother golf swing.
so.Good. Yeah, as a fitness instructor and somebody who's, you know, very passionate and very well-versed in the, you know, the, lack of a better ver- term, I guess, like, the physiological, you know, methods and exercises behind hitting good golf shots.
Like, over the past few, uh, I mean, decade-plus, I guess, really since, since Tiger kind of bursting onto the scene as this, like, powerful guy who's working out, who's dedicating a lot of spare time to building his body.
Um, like again, that's, that's a stark contrast, right, to, like, golf in, like, the '70s, '80s, and '90s, where most golfers-
... just kinda looked like your average person and really weren't working all that hard in the gym.
