That’s not good I’m going to go bankrupt camon we’re not going to penalize you On so you mentioned you have some objectiv is coming up a golf course those objectives would be stated how in bullet point form mhm um expectation management uh self-critical and my post routine got it so inside of that we’d best be able to assess those things under some level of duress or stress
Right so let’s play a game what are you accustomed to playing with your peers your teammates on the golf course playing for money okay so let’s play for money so you should be rewarded for offense right cuz you need to be able to make four four and a half five birdies
Per round so every birdie earns your reward okay what’s a reward that would be satisfactory to you $5 five let’s make it 50 okay so $50 per birdie M you to be penalized for a bogey right it should be proportionate yeah it’s beening pretty tough
Today you to be rewarded for a bogey or penalized for a bogy oh sorry P penalized for a b you’re going to be penalized for a bogey you should be proportionate to the reward for a birdie from where I’m at in my game now where I’m trying to get to making less
Bogies like bogey avoidance and double bogey avoidance I’m trying to should hurt more shouldn’t it yeah yeah let’s make it hurt more yeah let’s make it 75 for a bogey yeah on top of that mhm there’s another game within a game okay and that’s that game is reflected in uh
Stats on the PGA and LPGA Tour which is bounce back or reverse bounce back so if you do happen to make a bogey if you bounce back with a birdie on top of that it’s 100 for that next birdie okay nice right yeah so if you can bounce back
Like PGA Tour players do then you cover up in fact you double up from the um well not quite the cost right the opposite is true as well though if you follow a birdie with a bogey then it’s a $100 loss gee okay okay yeah right and Bogies on top of
Bogies that’s not good I’m going to go bankrupt Cameron we’re not going to penalize you on top of that okay so blowing a hurricane out here first hle he’s got he already selected a club is going back to the bag for another 155 yes sir you don’t know pin location I
Don’t can you tell me would you like to yeah you could course of course yeah we’re playing for real how I didn’t know if how much he want to take my money so We’re Playing for Keeps it’s less about me wanting to take his money it’s more
About me trying to expose the type of invite or the type of person that we’d be playing under some level of direct like competitive play yeah you think it’s fair Al yeah okay perfect what club we going with 155 into the wind yeah I’m playing it 170 5 low
Trajectory gr it I hadn’t observed the ball flight before you s asked me grade it okay I was talking about grading the performance real quick cuz I’m I’m trying I’m trying to keep you in a place where you can manage this yeah and it’s reasonable to expect that if we can
Manage the ballf flight we must be managing the movement better yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I would have given that A B minus yeah okay this is like death down in yeah thanks thanks for the heads Up shot did that one come out as intended cuz the t- shot came out exactly as intended right so the reason you’re in a bad situation down there is because the intent what the the plan for the shot wasn’t accurate enough and it wasn’t accurate enough cuz you didn’t have full
Information did you yeah that is wait wait wait while that’s on us not providing information it’s on you for not asking enough questions to know where should I land this in order to get close to the hole sure and so for future reference as we move forward so you’re
Earning money not paying me ask more questions yeah good save Che well done thanks Nice Shot Che you got a cover probably 15 short there’s a little down slope there um if you fight all the way to the hole it is mostly into the grein so it should stop relatively
Quickly how many from the left or right you’ve got middle you probably have 15 left you see the right edge of that bunker over there yeah yeah and then the left edge of the right bunker is the right edge of the green which will also kick it down into the
Left so so basically anything in that green grass you see up there should end up on the green yeah good line back Edge probably yeah okay let’s go how soon did you know it was Gass and three poble how soon off the face eror detection kicking pretty soon pretty
Soon yeah kind of a little bit rough what sort of picture do you putt to what sort of picture do you putt to what s what do you PCH to a picture oh yeah stand over it with some sort of picture of where it’s going to
Roll the pace it’s going to roll either through a point or to a point with that all happens in my think box behind the ball oh my God it’s not in your play box no oh my God it needs to be in your play box there is there is as I trace tracing
The curve that that’s in all of the decision making is done in my oh sure sure yeah yeah the pre the pre-planning is back there yeah but the execution is more often than not informed by the picture you’re creating cuz that picture is Direction and also the force do you
Agree yeah and so that picture is how much speed is this ball going to be rolling in the hole with perhaps right is it going to be dripping over the edge is going to be hitting the back Edge captured sure yeah we got action we got action down
50 we got to bounce back now so you see this orange stuff that’s kind of sticking out about 80 yards 90 yards out there that’s kind of your Center okay and then right edge of left bunker left edge of right bunker 127 we’re trying to land it all
The way there even with a with a low trajectory yeah one or two short so 127 124 so the wind is in off the right 10 m now yeah I’d say it hurts with a low 6 to8 okay so that 124 goes to 130 yeah I
Was thinking a low I don’t think it’s really going to jump from that lie so like a low 13 yeah low 130 you might like it we might get some bounceback money here nice job up 25 256 241 okay so we need to cover 241 I should try so there’s the wind
Probably Landing in just a couple short of the hole 255 call it okay where’s our wind down off the right yeah not a ton it yeah kind of like 4:00 almost yeah I’m feeling cuz if I hit a fade it’s going to be quite fighting almost into it what do we have
Behind it cam we’ve got a lot behind it plenty behind 25 yep plenty behind it let’s not play any help because we’re trying to get it there right so 255 let’s just play 255 normal especially if it’s going to cut yeah better win come on St
Up as soon did you know that one was 15 ft short soon as it got to the top of the hill so in your brain off the club phase you thought yep they hit it at a speed that’s going to get it around the hole Yeah I thought
Yeah just didn’t Factor enough wind and not enough did you have a a clear picture of that ball being around the hole before you hit it yeah yeah there okay so 192 there’s a little slope that’ll kind of release this down to the hole I think it’s
Probably eight short so 92 you said so 84 is our Target to land we’ve got wind do you think just straight behind us yeah a bit off the left okay so 184 n or 10 yeah I’d say I’d say eight or so so 76 76 yeah okay what iron is that this
Is a seven handy win 25 or lose 50 right here that’s right so you mentioned like post shot stuff I think it it can continue until we get here as a cad this was something that I wish I had learned when I was in college you landed that what is that
Probably seven short yeah so that’s 85 and it didn’t release at all so you can take that with you if you were playing 18 holes you know now okay we didn’t need to land at seven short CU it’s not going to release seven with full seven wind and then there’s a hole
Over there that it’s the same direction the wind’s going to face the same direction so you’re going to know kind of how it affected it right we could have played either less wind or we could have tried to hit it farther and if you’re if you do that on the second hole
The third hole the fourth by the time you get to 17 18 you know how far the wind is affecting each shot mhm and you know how far a lot of your clubs are going in that specific moment yeah that was one thing that like as a caddy you
Have to do I can tell Harry hey three holes ago we had the same wind direction your seven iron you nutted it it went 195 or whatever it was so you can kind of use that as a baseline the rest of the day similar to the shot you hit on
The par that air meld the green we probably could have had a little bit less for elevation stuff but the wind didn’t really touch it yeah right so you can kind of use that as a gauge like okay we were playing 15 yards of wind on
That hole and we didn’t get it so if we have a straight end of the wind shot coming up and you’re going to flight it again yeah maybe we just go to 10 yeah so on course process the process as long as it reflects what we started to see as we
Stopped talking about other stuff unrelated to Performance as we got through those first two holes I like okay the more information you gather the more accurate the choices that you’re going to make and the more rewarded you’ll get for the quality of execution that you can demonstrate yeah the
Expectations they simply need to be high you play around and are around other if when you do when you are around other worldclass players you recognize that they have expectations yeah that are super mistake intolerant they expect the best and it’s a double-edged sword they’ll often times uh carry on being mistake in
Tolerant because it strives or causes them to strive and work hard to Chisel out the small differences between um a 25 foot miss or a 40 foot Eagle attempt versus having something inside of 30 ft so at the top of the pyramid the difference between number
One versus number 25 in the world versus number 100 in the world it’s small and given that those differences are that small it demands that your your work and also your attitude towards Excellence always be high the other side of that is that there is a eror forgiveness almost
A mistake Amnesia that they have that allows them to work hard to trim the fat on the things that prevent them from hitting excellent shots uh that they’ll they won’t carry the burden of all the weight away from poor shots as much as sometimes others do so this
Mistake Amnesia is almost a superpower so um navigating that pathway is difficult and we’ll continue to talk about those things uh that kind of anchors to your self-critical piece there doesn’t it yeah and then the post shot routine I think Al synchronize that point really all right how are you 25 you
Do thanks man
