Let's find out how to be more confident consistent and in control of our inner game of golf
This "Tip from the Pro" brought to you by Golf University the world's premier golf improvement program
Well
What are you up to here? What are you what are you gonna do? What what's your plan for this shot?
I'm going straight at the pin
Why are you gonna do that? Well, that's what I normally do. Okay
Well, let's just talk about a little rule a simple rule that we should we should bring into into place
right here now Andrew
It's called the seventy percent rule
seventy percent rule says that you if you're gonna hit this club it what do you got there?
What club is that five and how far we got 150 uphill?
Okay, so it's 150 up here with a humungous bunker up there
that is just yeah. Okay, I get it. Okay
Seventy percent rule says Andrew that you play the club that you can play seven times out of ten
Can get the result you're looking for seven times out of ten. Let me ask you an honest question
I want you to be honest back to me
Can you hit that clock that shot on to the green with that 5-iron seven times out of ten?
No
All right
so my best advice for you here is let's take a club that we can play seven times out of ten
because the consequences of this shot not coming off
because you can't pull the shot off and it's possible
is a dire result that's going to rack up the big score. We don't want to do that, right? There's a big bunker, isn't it?
Well, this is what we want to help the viewers with right
We don't we don't want to have we want to start avoiding this stuff the right way
All right, and we're gonna do that by making a better decision
If I gave you this 7-iron
Yes, we would move the target away a little bit, right?
We're not going to be now at the green but let's say we swing around a little bit
say 25 degrees more to the left
Left of that big tree up there and you make a nice smooth swing
Could you hit that Club?
Seven times out of ten up into that area
I could surge. It'll feel a lot more comfortable or confident doing that
Yeah, look now
I know that by hitting it on the green, you know, you give yourself the potential having a good score and ROI
But the bottom line here
is what's just called score management
and the best way to do that is to have simple model
so you can apply the seven out of ten model
to every type of shot that you're hitting it works with your strategies and so on with everything you do
Now, It's interesting. If you don't do this, then you bring into play three types of errors
you bring in a play either a mental error
An execution error or strategy or a combination of those things?
so by trying to hit a golf club that literally and I use the word try as opposed to you can
You get into problems all the way
and we've talked about stretching the skills
This would be stretching the skills Andrew
Well, I must be honest mentally it. I've got a bit of doubt. Yeah, technically I'm gonna have to hit it even better
Yeah, so strategically, it's probably not a good idea. Is it for me to go straight at the pit?
That's exactly right and if we can play the game and start
You know with a simple model like this seven out of ten model
you can use this for every type of shot you could play from tee to green
and it's going to help you enormously
So why don't you play the shot now, Andrew?
Play it. You can see that big tree up on the hill.
Let's play the left side of that tree. Nice smooth swing
Let's knock it up there ready for our next shot
Fantastic beautiful golf shot
I think you can see from that by just going back to a club that you're more confident with and more capable with
It reduces the tension level.
You're not stretching your game as much
and you're going to hit the ball more into the target area you want more often?
Yes, you may not have got the you know, the the birdie up there in this particular instance
But you're gonna make more pars and more bogeys
and you're gonna keep those big scores off the card and after all isn't that what It's all about?
Well from another game perspective
It certainly makes me feel more relief more relaxed
and I guess over time it's going to build more confidence
We can't ask for more that can't we?
Well there it is so hope you've enjoyed this Golf University "Tip from the Pro"
