Send us Fan Mail The Open Championship is hours away, Royal Birkdale is reportedly firm and fast, and we’re doing what golf sickos do best: talking…
striking's been great for you.
It's just we haven't been able to make any putts.
We have cracked the code on the ball striking, which for the newer listeners of the podcast was what initially brought me to you.
That was my first... question uh or or not question but my first thing i brought up was i can't control my face i can't get the ball started where i'm wanting and i also can't get it to finish where i want and so if you haven't listened to last week's podcast on how to start it and get it to go where you want it to go.
You need to listen to that one.
A friend of the show.
I don't
think people are, are, are taking that to heart.
And I think everybody just naturally assumes they know how to aim.
He called me in the, and Josh is a really good player.
And he called me in the middle of the podcast.
And he was like, okay, explain this to me.
Cause I think I've had it all wrong too.
And we finished the conversation, like a 30 minute conversation.
He was like, I'm pulling up to the club right now.
I'm about to go hit some balls.
And then two minutes later, he's like, oh my gosh, this is the most freeing thing I've done.
And Josh is somebody that typically has a path that's pretty consistent and Um, I'm always surprised when he doesn't hit a ball online, he's got such a good swing.
Um, and this may also be cracking the code for him.
Um, I mean, and, and for mine, the aim absolutely helped and helped free me up, but we did, we, we've had some good tweaks to the golf swing recently, which are exciting.
Um, I haven't had ball striking this consistent in a long time and it, um,
And that's not just how you feel.
That's what we're seeing.
Yeah.
