--> 00:03:58.445 I recorded off my phone, edited on my phone with the iMovie app. 00:03:58.727 --> 00:04:04.806 It's not optimal, but it was the camera on the iPhone For mobiles it's probably the best. 00:04:04.806 --> 00:04:05.532 Not fun, it's not optimal, but it was. 00:04:05.532 --> 00:04:08.032 The camera on the iPhones for mobiles is probably like the best in my opinion. 00:04:08.032 --> 00:04:17.908 So it was really just a like a last hurrah to keep something up with a creative outlet and then it kind of just I wouldn't even say take off, it was just something I do in my spare time for fun that I really enjoy. 00:04:17.908 --> 00:04:33.668 Yeah, yeah, so that's kind of how it started was just, like you know, was always into the creative content scene, like in terms of making stuff, but then kind of like a last hurrah, last ditch effort to do something creative after, you know, I invested in a phone but I spent a lot more money on equipment now. 00:04:33.668 --> 00:04:40.848 But, yeah, that was kind of like the last ditch effort to keep it creative and now it's a lot more than I could have ever imagined. 00:04:40.889 --> 00:04:44.987 So, yeah, Dude, and how's it been growing so far? 00:04:45.509 --> 00:04:46.752 I mean it's modest growth. 00:04:46.752 --> 00:04:51.329 I mean it's like at 5 000 subscribers, just past that threshold earlier this year. 00:04:51.329 --> 00:05:05.932 Um, I don't, I you know, and it's, it's the worst, because we're in a society now and I don't want to get too deep into this but where a lot of numbers are put to, not not your worth, but you're mentally always looking at your numbers. 00:05:05.932 --> 00:05:16.564 Oh dude, and like I try not to focus on that, there's like an app that you can check your stats and I'm sure for Instagram or TikTok, there's all those numbers, right, oh bro. 00:05:16.564 --> 00:05:19.750 But you know it's been growing at a modest rate. 00:05:19.750 --> 00:05:27.458 I wish it was bigger, but I'm not dwelling on that too much because it's not my full time gig, right, it's just a part time gig, but I'd say the growth. 00:05:27.458 --> 00:05:30.959 I wish it was more, but I'm happy where it's at oh, that's good. 00:05:31.862 --> 00:05:37.250 What inspired you to do the whole layout of how you just record yourself going through the course? 00:05:37.250 --> 00:05:38.261 Was it something you're just like? 00:05:38.261 --> 00:05:44.380 Oh, I need to record myself every hit I make, and all that because the course reviews are. 00:05:44.380 --> 00:05:45.887 That's actually what helps us. 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:46.762 Yeah, yeah. 00:05:46.802 --> 00:05:47.807 We're like looking at the courses. 00:05:47.807 --> 00:05:49.485 I'm like, oh, what did Matt play here? 00:05:49.485 --> 00:05:56.088 Yeah, and then it's like oh, he's actually okay, this hole, that hole, like yeah, what inspired you that? 00:05:56.420 --> 00:06:02.002 Kind of like the OG people, so like there was like golf holics back in the

day. 00:06:02.002 --> 00:06:09.410 So I'm bringing up some older, older YouTubers for sure, and like even good, good right, just what they're doing on the course. 00:06:09.410 --> 00:06:10.711 It was in their heyday. 00:06:10.711 --> 00:06:13.213 It was kind of fun because it really felt like they were us. 00:06:13.213 --> 00:06:22.286 There was just these kids on the course having fun, you know recording, and you know trying not to disturb the people behind them but just keep playing and just doing their thing. 00:06:22.286 --> 00:06:27.495 So I kind of want to do a similar format where I was just recording myself on the course keeping pace. 00:06:27.495 --> 00:06:34.785 And also kyle berkshire he was also in that good, good mix way back in the day, but he kind of went on his own and did course vlogs as well. 00:06:34.785 --> 00:06:48.607 So his course vlogs are probably mostly the mirror, like mine, but he obviously hits it a ton like we're not the same but his layout with you, the voiceover, the shot tracers and the layout was kind of I was I got inspired by him pretty much. 00:06:48.607 --> 00:06:49.007 Yeah. 00:06:49.028 --> 00:06:49.168 Yeah. 00:06:49.389 --> 00:06:54.267 I mean and then normally just you I was just trying to make the best of what footage I captured. 00:06:54.267 --> 00:07:09.067 You know, like it wasn't like really I was taking well, taking bits and pieces from everyone else, but like and produce with my on-course content that I capture right, because that's half of content is like capturing as much as possible and then making the best of what you do. 00:07:09.067 --> 00:07:15.125 So I know you do the same thing, right, you record something and like okay, I'm going to take this, what can I make out of this? 00:07:15.125 --> 00:07:20.963 Repurpose it for reels, tiktok you know long form and everything, so it's the same thing with the golf stuff. 00:07:21.004 --> 00:07:26.487 Yeah, it's just, you can always make something out of something, but if you have nothing, you can't make anything out of it. 00:07:26.507 --> 00:07:27.220 Yeah the base footage. 00:07:28.812 --> 00:07:32.689 You're just trying to record and everything You're like I'll just do it again. 00:07:32.689 --> 00:07:34.764 Let me just get another one just in case. 00:07:34.783 --> 00:07:44.709 Yeah, yeah yeah, so yeah, no, it's been good, but it's definitely a skill, you know, like recording yourself on the course or just you know capturing footage in general. 00:07:44.709 --> 00:07:56.418 I'm sure you can relate like that's why I'm hesitant to say, oh yeah, everyone can do it right, but the worse you are at golf, the more shots you have to capture and the longer it takes to edit. 00:07:56.418 --> 00:08:00.567 So you see all these really good people and they have like the shot counter only goes to four. 00:08:00.567 --> 00:08:04.459 I'm like bro, I'm hitting more than four every hole like you know it's true. 00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:05.963 Huh, it's like one goes

00:10:10.134 --> 00:10:15.148 Um, and so like it's not the footprint of it, it's really small, it's only like, like you know, like a 25 pounder footprint. 00:10:15.148 --> 00:10:16.410 Yeah, right, like that. 00:10:16.410 --> 00:10:19.946 And then it's easy to take it in out of the cart too, right. 00:10:19.946 --> 00:10:26.525 So if that's the cart setup, but if I'm doing it in my uh push cart there's an umbrella holder and I have a mini tripod. 00:10:26.525 --> 00:10:28.106 I just shove it into the mini tripod. 00:10:28.106 --> 00:10:38.803 So I set up my push cart, have a ball head, tighten it, frame the shot, hit record, then hit the shot and then come back to my push cart and just push myself along. 00:10:38.803 --> 00:10:46.691 Yeah, so it's like learned over time how to optimally capture the footage and be super fast, so practice with that too. 00:10:46.811 --> 00:10:54.890 Yeah, you practice with that I mean it's just fast, I go really fast, yeah, and it and like, honestly, it adds strokes to the score. 00:10:54.890 --> 00:11:08.294 But I mean, like, luckily, I started at a place where, like you know, I was just like an average golfer and so it helps that I'm not, like you know, I hit a chunk it into the sand trap, you know, and then I take four shots. 00:11:08.294 --> 00:11:14.366 Well, sometimes I do, but like being a little bit better at golf does help in terms of when, if you're trying to shoot your own content out there. 00:11:14.386 --> 00:11:14.855 That makes sense. 00:11:14.855 --> 00:11:20.644 Yeah yeah, we were just young pups topping, chunking and throwing clubs around. 00:11:20.663 --> 00:11:22.048 We always took the tee times when it was raining. 00:11:22.048 --> 00:11:25.480 Oh yeah, we were the first guys, when it was raining at South Z municipal. 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.044 I don't want anyone near me. 00:11:27.044 --> 00:11:27.746 I don't want anyone. 00:11:27.746 --> 00:11:31.960 I was like I'll take the shit times I'll take the shit times, but that's good. 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:40.768 You identified the trade-offs Like in the Bay Area, like we don't get the luxury of some of it's. 00:11:40.768 --> 00:11:43.491 Like you're going to be paired up for sure with other people. 00:11:43.491 --> 00:11:45.595 There's going to be everyone booked behind you. 00:11:45.595 --> 00:11:50.371 You know there's no like empty courses for you to go ahead and shoot content. 00:11:50.371 --> 00:11:52.849 So that's why I learned just to keep the pace. 00:11:52.849 --> 00:11:54.306 You know, I don't want any contention on me. 00:11:54.306 --> 00:11:57.129 I don't ask golf courses for permission, I just do it. 00:11:57.129 --> 00:12:00.128 But no one says anything about me, so it doesn't matter. 00:12:00.128 --> 00:12:00.249 Yeah. 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:05.921 Oh, so that's how it works. 00:12:05.961 --> 00:12:15.933 I never knew how that works on that side, like they would actually ask the golf course to, just so I think, like big creators

now, like the big channels, they just probably book out everything behind them, or yeah, yeah. 00:12:15.933 --> 00:12:18.201 So I mean they have it in the funds just to do it, I'm sure. 00:12:18.201 --> 00:12:20.809 Or they know how to play quickly as well. 00:12:20.809 --> 00:12:23.519 Um, but yeah, that's, I mean we don't. 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.652 I mean, as a small guy, I don't have that luxury. 00:12:25.652 --> 00:12:28.144 I'm not booking 20 tee times behind me. 00:12:28.184 --> 00:12:33.128 Yeah, you don't got three guys filming for you too, so, yeah, it's a lot more challenging, isn't it? 00:12:33.207 --> 00:12:35.326 also like the amount of golf courses. 00:12:35.326 --> 00:12:39.923 I think we have a lot, but in like I know Good, good, they started in the Midwest right, that's where they. 00:12:39.923 --> 00:12:43.730 I feel like there's like the the amount of golf courses there was. 00:12:43.730 --> 00:12:52.686 It's like it's all spread out the amount of players, but here like there's only like there's like really good courses yeah, like good courses where, yeah, especially within, like a 5-10 mile radius. 00:12:52.865 --> 00:12:54.951 Yeah right right, yeah, so yeah, they. 00:12:54.951 --> 00:13:02.365 That's kind of where they got into more of the personality being the focus rather than the course, because they were playing the same course over and over again. 00:13:02.365 --> 00:13:08.552 I've played a ton of courses and just recently I've been playing the same course, but yeah, so, yeah, that's. 00:13:08.552 --> 00:13:12.208 What's cool about golf content is that there's so many different I mean all content. 00:13:12.208 --> 00:13:15.648 There's just so much out there that there's so many niches that you can find. 00:13:15.648 --> 00:13:21.142 It's just finding your niche and then, like you know, trying to execute well within in that space, kind of thing. 00:13:21.142 --> 00:13:22.342 So yeah. 00:13:22.743 --> 00:13:27.405 I saw that you went to P4L, yeah, to do the golf performance. 00:13:27.405 --> 00:13:28.366 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:13:28.386 --> 00:13:28.846 How was it? 00:13:28.846 --> 00:13:29.888 It was pretty cool. 00:13:29.888 --> 00:13:30.869 I'm curious. 00:13:30.869 --> 00:13:49.446 So, if I'm being honest, like and this is like a hot take, I guess, like I think for golf, in terms of fitness, even the pros like, once they're a certain physique, they focus more on their technique rather than getting their body into a certain state. 00:13:49.446 --> 00:13:58.903 I think they, like, they work out to keep their current state, to continue doing what they can do, but unless bryson's, the outlier, where he made himself huge to try to hit the ball a ton. 00:13:59.284 --> 00:14:07.090 But all these guys, they're not like trying to make more gains because they already hit the ball far, yeah right, they're not trying to bulk up or anything, they're just trying to maintain. 00:14:07.090 --> 00:14:10.683 So when it comes to mid handicaps, it's like, what are we trying to do here? 00:14:10.683 --> 00:14:14.373 You know, like, like is there actual gains to be made? 00:14:14.373 --> 00:14:34.625 You know, for your golf swing and I think there is some some pros like, with, like flexibility, and you know health like and like injury, but in terms of trying to gain something physically, I think you're better off practicing technique rather than you know working out a ton to achieve some sort of body type no, I like that. 00:14:34.807 --> 00:14:51.301 Yeah, yeah, yeah and so, yeah, I took lessons from um golf garage, matt yeah, yeah, yeah yeah matt too, and um, I just remember when I was just trying to just like you know, I'm a beginner, so I'm trying to like hack it away oh, I mean, and you're a strong guy, yeah, yeah yeah, I, he's like dude, you're swinging from up here. 00:14:51.341 --> 00:14:57.274 You gotta use all your weight here like a catapult and I'm like what he's like? 00:14:57.274 --> 00:14:57.740 You're like you're. 00:14:57.740 --> 00:15:01.206 You're like he's like no, no, like you're a, you're like a dense dude. 00:15:01.206 --> 00:15:02.288 So use that weight. 00:15:02.288 --> 00:15:04.133 It It'll just happen. 00:15:04.133 --> 00:15:09.905 And I'm like, unless I thought about it, of just swinging and all of a sudden just start hitting. 00:15:09.905 --> 00:15:10.869 I'm like oh. 00:15:10.869 --> 00:15:11.850 I didn't know that. 00:15:11.850 --> 00:15:16.090 I thought you just just threw the shit out of it, right. 00:15:17.043 --> 00:15:18.745 So bringing it back to perform for life. 00:15:18.745 --> 00:15:33.947 I think what they're doing, though, is important, because they're getting kids that are young and then trying to build up the muscles that maybe they don't build up in a normal, just day-to-day situation, to prevent injury and maybe trying to develop them in a way to where they hit that optimal stage. 00:15:33.947 --> 00:15:37.616 But for us, I don't know, I'm not convinced. 00:15:37.616 --> 00:15:44.106 I'm going to there all the time to improve my game in terms from a physical standpoint Just me personally. 00:15:44.246 --> 00:15:48.508 No, that's good, Because I saw that and I took a seminar a long time ago. 00:15:48.508 --> 00:15:53.864 It was like a fitness business conference a long time ago and the owners were there too and I already knew they do great things over there. 00:15:53.864 --> 00:16:01.907 So then when I saw they were going to the golf side, I was like I want that Well because they got that's like the protease. 00:16:01.907 --> 00:16:04.870 No, it's not a cheap machine and they had you like doing all this stuff on it. 00:16:04.870 --> 00:16:08.095 And I'm like, oh see, I see I got curious, how much is that? 00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:13.801 Like can we use it? 00:16:13.801 --> 00:16:14.341 Or how did that feel using? 00:16:14.341 --> 00:16:14.743 I haven't used it. 00:16:14.743 --> 00:16:15.123 It was pretty cool. 00:16:15.123 -->

00:16:15.344 Um, I would. 00:16:15.344 --> 00:16:16.666 I would say I'm like polish. 00:16:16.666 --> 00:16:18.590 I mean I'm not like the strongest by. 00:16:18.590 --> 00:16:20.714 I'd like probably strong, stronger than average golfer. 00:16:20.714 --> 00:16:23.927 But I haven't lifted a lot of weights in a long time. 00:16:23.927 --> 00:16:24.789 I just do more cardio. 00:16:24.789 --> 00:16:26.644 But yeah, it felt pretty normal. 00:16:26.644 --> 00:16:33.346 But like when we did the percentile thingies, I was like already in the upper percentile in terms of the people on there. 00:16:33.346 --> 00:16:37.683 But then it like measured me against like athletes in my weight range and I'm like lower percentile. 00:16:37.683 --> 00:16:40.750 Yeah, because, like you know, 260, right. 00:16:40.750 --> 00:16:47.576 And like I'm like when you measure me against other 260 guys, they're like six something and like these big old yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:16:47.880 --> 00:17:00.048 I'm just like this guy you know like, who used to work out a ton of weights, but like, but in terms of the people that were on that machine specifically testing, I was like in the upper percentile, right, but it was like weird, it was kind of unnatural. 00:17:00.048 --> 00:17:13.839 You know, the Proteus machine, yeah, like they had this one where you just like go in and not like this and like I feel like I was trying so hard and I threw out my arm, didn't actually do it, but I was like, oh man, my arm afterwards. 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.388 But yeah, I did the fitness. 00:17:16.388 --> 00:17:27.858 They give you a handicap, like in terms of like where you stand from a fitness perspective and I did just okay, like maybe average, a little less than average of what they thought an ideal golfer body would be. 00:17:27.858 --> 00:17:35.292 And it identified where I could improve, like so core, hip flexors, right, you know, yeah, exactly. 00:17:35.333 --> 00:17:52.394 So it kind of just told me things I knew confirmed it yeah, but whether or not, if I were to pick up like a private training session with them, if it would help me I'm not I'm sure it would but for mid-handicap I think I'm better off practicing my swing, actually practicing my swing, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:17:52.394 --> 00:17:59.762 But I think that program is good for, like professionals or the people who are in competitive golf that want to get that extra. 00:17:59.762 --> 00:18:03.770 Like how we're talking about you, give that, how are we talking about you, get the extra couple percents more out of their game. 00:18:03.790 --> 00:18:04.813 Just squeezing everything out. 00:18:04.813 --> 00:18:06.060 Yeah, exactly, exactly. 00:18:09.140 --> 00:18:13.008 Or it's helpful if sometimes they get a lot of older people who probably don't ever work out like at all. 00:18:13.008 --> 00:18:19.064 That's true, and they, if you're older, you know you have a lot of gains to make just from going from no type of physical training. 00:18:19.064 --> 00:18:20.787 I'm sure you see it in your gym. 00:18:20.787 --> 00:18:28.625 Yes, right, if you get people who are coming in having lifted a barbell in their life and then they start getting into it and then they unlock another tier. 00:18:29.346 --> 00:18:30.709 Yeah, I'm sure they can relate. 00:18:30.709 --> 00:18:36.864 Yeah, yeah, hey, some of those guys that were Dude, I just started binging that yeah it was good. 00:18:36.903 --> 00:18:37.865 I need to watch it. 00:18:38.205 --> 00:18:41.309 I need to it's life changing. 00:18:41.369 --> 00:18:45.914 So we were golfing to prepare for this episode, we actually did an 18 like a few days ago. 00:18:45.914 --> 00:18:48.963 Oh nice, nice and he was like have you watched solo leveling yet?

always and then we kind of told him how to get along or whatever. 00:31:26.945 --> 00:31:36.492 So he kind of went straight from the range to the San Jose Muni. 00:31:36.492 --> 00:31:44.548 I think San Jose Muni is a really good course actually I like that course yeah it's just it plays a little slow sometimes, yeah, but that's expected for a Muni, right? 00:31:46.060 --> 00:31:47.686 But yeah, that's you know. 00:31:47.686 --> 00:32:05.266 I think once you start getting it and if you can advance the ball like 150 consistently within a spray pattern, like consistently going forward where you're not chunking it and trying to take multiple shots that go not very far, then I think you're ready to go to a regular 18-hole course kind of thing. 00:32:06.281 --> 00:32:08.845 So we shouldn't have gone to San Jose Municipal that fast. 00:32:10.221 --> 00:32:11.487 That's why I said everyone's pass different. 00:32:12.320 --> 00:32:22.249 And shout out to our buddy, angelo Mangi, who's probably been banned from San Jose Because we always put his name down as our fourth, but he doesn't show up. 00:32:22.349 --> 00:32:27.048 Sorry, Angelo, our guy didn't show up Sorry dude. 00:32:28.601 --> 00:32:29.384 This Angelo guy. 00:32:29.423 --> 00:32:38.730 he always knows I'm sorry, I think San Jose Muni is the 18 hole we've played, the most you know. 00:32:38.730 --> 00:32:49.907 So we have a lot of memories and a lot of triumphs, and yeah sure, but you know, yeah, we, yeah, I mean that's a great course it's a solid course. 00:32:49.928 --> 00:32:54.500 It's just the only thing is it just lacks elevation, but in terms of the layout it's interesting you know? 00:32:54.540 --> 00:32:55.564 yeah, but in terms of the layout it's interesting. 00:32:55.564 --> 00:32:56.005 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:32:56.025 --> 00:33:04.646 Like we were talking last Tuesday, it was very slow, yeah yeah, I mean it comes with the Muni territory right and, like the Bay Area golf in general, it's going to be slow. 00:33:04.646 --> 00:33:12.234 I'm surprised, like on a weekday probably not as much, but on the weekends it's like at least four and a half hours. 00:33:12.234 --> 00:33:13.036 This was going to six. 00:33:13.036 --> 00:33:14.915 Yeah, sure, sure, sure. 00:33:15.036 --> 00:33:22.266 We had to stop at 15 after 15, because we were going on four hours and he had to get home and we were just like. 00:33:22.266 --> 00:33:23.387 My wife was going to kill me. 00:33:23.428 --> 00:33:26.114 Yeah sure, I'm like let's get out of here, let's move, I'm down, it's fine. 00:33:26.903 --> 00:33:33.368 And the sucky part was probably the best we were playing ever. 00:33:33.410 --> 00:33:34.893 We were but yeah, we get it, but the score is lower. 00:33:34.893 --> 00:33:41.508 You know, you take that score from 15, that's your 18 score exactly that day you played golf and you shot, we were averaging a bogey. 00:33:41.528 --> 00:33:44.345 We were averaging a bogey a whole, so we'll get a bogey. 00:33:44.345 --> 00:33:44.887 We'll get a bogey. 00:33:47.548 --> 00:33:54.203 I don't count the first three, that's fair yeah, but yeah man, I start counting on the fairway. 00:33:54.203 --> 00:33:55.307 No, that's good. 00:33:55.307 --> 00:33:59.315 I also wanted to bring up McDonald High School. 00:33:59.315 --> 00:34:05.144 We're doing a fundraiser at Mountain View Golf Leagues. 00:34:06.388 --> 00:34:06.710 Shoreline. 00:34:07.823 --> 00:34:08.847 Shoreline or Moffitt. 00:34:09.340 --> 00:34:10.112 I think it's Moffitt. 00:34:10.112 --> 00:34:10.559 You said Moffitt. 00:34:10.579 --> 00:34:14.967 Moffitt's the one by NASA, shoreline is the one by Shoreline. 00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:16.081 Mountain View. 00:34:16.081 --> 00:34:17.648 It says Mountain View, Shoreline. 00:34:17.648 --> 00:34:18.351 I think it was Shoreline. 00:34:18.699 --> 00:34:21.550 Now I'm going to double check my thing, figure it out. 00:34:23.121 --> 00:34:23.985 No, I want to check it now. 00:34:23.985 --> 00:34:24.586 I don't want to be wrong. 00:34:24.606 --> 00:34:24.967 Double check. 00:34:24.967 --> 00:34:26.987 We don't want to steer the audience the wrong way. 00:34:28.123 --> 00:34:31.291 But we're doing a golf fundraiser for our athletics program. 00:34:31.291 --> 00:34:37.076 We are a new high school in Santa Clara in San Jose and this is our first fundraiser. 00:34:37.076 --> 00:34:41.389 It is in what's the first one, shoreline. 00:34:41.389 --> 00:34:45.226 Boulevard 2940 North Shoreline Boulevard. 00:34:45.226 --> 00:34:46.425 Shoreline Golf Links. 00:34:46.425 --> 00:34:51.822 Yes, so we're doing our first fundraiser annual McDonald High School Sports. 00:34:51.822 --> 00:34:53.980 Booster Club Golf Tournament 2025. 00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:56.822 Saturday, april 26 2025. 00:34:56.822 --> 00:35:00.684 It's a two person scramble, the price is $150. 00:35:00.684 --> 00:35:02.505 Goes to Booster Club Golf Tournament 2025. 00:35:02.505 --> 00:35:04.726 Saturday, april 26, 2025. 00:35:04.726 --> 00:35:06.688 It's a two-person scramble, the price is $150. 00:35:06.688 --> 00:35:07.467 It goes to a good cause. 00:35:07.487 --> 00:35:09.530 It's a youth athletic program, but, matt, would you want to compete in this?

anyone different ages, genders, whatever. 00:39:35.967 --> 00:39:45.586 So like got back into it, playing more with my dad kind of thing, and so it's like something we share more, and so that kind of motivated me more to get back into it too, and him as well, and then my brother too. 00:39:45.586 --> 00:39:46.481 He kind of played a little bit. 00:39:46.481 --> 00:39:51.164 So we all kind of got back into it, and now my mom's getting into golf, yeah. 00:39:51.164 --> 00:39:55.686 So maybe we'll do like a, you know, family scramble video or something, I don't know. 00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:57.219 But yeah, so like a you know family scramble video or something I don't know. 00:39:57.219 --> 00:39:58.208 But yeah, so it was. 00:39:58.208 --> 00:39:58.809 It was. 00:39:58.809 --> 00:40:03.231 Yeah, it was like never a love thing until recently, until with the channel and stuff like that. 00:40:03.251 --> 00:40:04.012 That's beautiful man. 00:40:04.052 --> 00:40:13.344 Yeah, See, that's a lot so if you get your kids into it when you're old, you could probably still give them, you know, junior run, right, so those kind of things. 00:40:13.344 --> 00:40:15.106 I think that's what makes golf so great. 00:40:15.106 --> 00:40:20.710 You know, like you can get your butt handed to you by some old person that's like 30 years old. 00:40:20.710 --> 00:40:21.670 Yeah, kind of. 00:40:21.670 --> 00:40:22.451 I've seen some. 00:40:22.871 --> 00:40:24.132 Dude, our friend's dad. 00:40:24.132 --> 00:40:29.737 You know like we play out in Dublin over at the Pleasanton. 00:40:30.036 --> 00:40:30.637 Romeo's dad. 00:40:30.637 --> 00:40:31.237 Romeo's dad. 00:40:35.139 --> 00:40:36.726 Like he doesn't hit it far, but he is literally a fairway finder. 00:40:36.768 --> 00:40:37.672 Straight every time, straight fairway finder. 00:40:37.672 --> 00:40:38.213 And you're just like man. 00:40:38.213 --> 00:40:39.440 This guy's cooking right now. 00:40:40.583 --> 00:40:41.710 We're going to cook by this guy. 00:40:41.710 --> 00:40:44.623 My uncle's roasting us right now and then when we finally get a good hit. 00:40:44.643 --> 00:40:45.907 he's like oh, you showed up. 00:40:45.907 --> 00:40:48.152 Hey, you're like yeah. 00:40:48.152 --> 00:40:49.266 Are you talking to? 00:40:49.266 --> 00:40:50.606 Yeah, are you talking to man? 00:40:50.606 --> 00:40:52.347 That's why we playing with them. 00:40:52.347 --> 00:40:55.289 But you know, it's like, yeah, it's just like that, like anyone can play. 00:40:55.289 --> 00:40:57.931 It's like it's funny because, like you know, you're in high school. 00:40:57.931 --> 00:41:04.197 These guys like, yeah, football, basketball, like you play golf yeah, this is definitely a stigma in high school. 00:41:04.496 --> 00:41:05.057 Oh, you guys are the. 00:41:05.057 --> 00:41:09.992 I mean we were like probably second to the bottom from the totem pole, other than the tennis team. 00:41:09.992 --> 00:41:11.643 For some reason tennis was like. 00:41:11.643

00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.802 And then you see Tiger and you're like what the hell is that? 00:48:09.802 --> 00:48:11.742 Is he playing on team 2 or no? 00:48:12.036 --> 00:48:12.940 yeah, he was. 00:48:12.940 --> 00:48:20.659 I think they were like bottom 2 or something yeah, but they, they were just more like comedy yeah, they Not very good, they were having fun. 00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:22.163 for sure, tom Kim was on that team. 00:48:22.322 --> 00:48:25.829 Tom Kim Max Homa Tiger and Kevin Kisner. 00:48:25.829 --> 00:48:26.650 Kisner had the…. 00:48:26.835 --> 00:48:33.054 He like bladed one across the… when he was like chipping, bladed it and everyone was just laughing yeah. 00:48:34.077 --> 00:48:39.782 So it's smart, it's like modern day, because attention spans of youth and just people in general is getting way shorter. 00:48:39.782 --> 00:48:48.309 So just like the pitch clock in baseball how they're spinning the game they're trying to make golf more enticing by you know, yeah, they have a shot clock 40 seconds per shot. 00:48:48.635 --> 00:48:49.818 So that's why it's always two. 00:48:49.818 --> 00:48:57.264 It's only two hours long, low commitment to watch and it's quick and you know it's modern. 00:48:57.264 --> 00:49:11.963 They're trying to get people into golf, you know pretty

much, and I think we'll see Like maybe it doesn't appeal for maybe people who are older than us, but I think for the younger generation, I think they like it more than like going to a course and waiting five hours to play 18 holes right. 00:49:12.505 --> 00:49:13.777 Yeah, that's a lot. 00:49:13.777 --> 00:49:16.045 Yeah, what was? 00:49:16.045 --> 00:49:25.793 I wanted to ask you this too, because I know a lot of people in our audience especially for this episode beginner golfers. 00:49:25.793 --> 00:49:33.739 What are the top three mistakes you've seen, or even yourself you experienced that beginner golfers make that kind of hold them back from actually getting to that next level that we always strive for? 00:49:34.755 --> 00:49:35.684 I think it's really. 00:49:35.684 --> 00:49:42.775 I'm always about setting the proper expectations and then kind of identifying. 00:49:42.775 --> 00:49:47.586 For me, I break it out into two types of like mindsets. 00:49:47.586 --> 00:49:52.226 So there, in terms of just practicing for beginner golfers, there's two things. 00:49:52.226 --> 00:50:02.025 One is like you know, making your swing actually better, and the other is like just practicing your golf swing so you know what you're going to get on the course, right. 00:50:02.094 --> 00:50:09.777 So two are completely different ballgames, right, when getting getting your swing better, that takes a lot of time on the range, experimenting, right. 00:50:09.777 --> 00:50:27.771 But to make that apply to your on-course swing, it takes a lot of practice, right, whereas, like if, instead of focusing on making your swing better, it's really the other part of it, like the other side of the coin, it's just figuring out like, okay, if I have a seven iron and I go hit it five times on the range, what does it tend to do? 00:50:27.771 --> 00:50:37.125 And then finding out, unlocking, you know, knowing the knowledge of what your swing does is more powerful to me than being able to hit a really good shot right. 00:50:37.125 --> 00:50:40.835 So, like, if you're 100 yards out, what club are you taking normally? 00:50:41.556 --> 00:50:43.980 me yeah, yeah, just anything I'm pitching. 00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:44.179 Yeah, sir. 00:50:44.199 --> 00:50:44.940 No, I mean that's fine, like right. 00:50:44.940 --> 00:50:45.202 So yards out. 00:50:45.202 --> 00:50:45.802 What club are you taking? 00:50:45.802 --> 00:50:46.563 Normally Me, yeah, just anything. 00:50:46.563 --> 00:50:46.804 That's fine. 00:50:46.804 --> 00:50:48.324 You're pitching wedge, you're 100 yards out. 00:50:48.324 --> 00:50:50.568 Do you know what your pitching wedge usually does? 00:50:50.568 --> 00:50:51.750 Does it just go 100 yards straight? 00:50:51.909 --> 00:50:54.032 No, it launches 150. 00:50:54.032 --> 00:50:56.143 When he catches it, flush he's 150. 00:50:56.755 --> 00:50:59.469 That's also something you need to know. 00:50:59.469 --> 00:51:01.039 That's your on-course swing. 00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:14.003 It's knowing what your clubs can do and then trying to figure out how to best position yourself on the course in order to predict the worst possible outcome right so, like, if you're 100 yards, you hit pitching wedge. 00:51:14.398 --> 00:51:16.315 Well, sometimes I hit it 150 instead of 100. 00:51:16.315 --> 00:51:19.521 Maybe I shouldn't be pulling one pitching wedge right. 00:51:19.521 --> 00:51:21.940 So it's like what is the best club for me? 00:51:21.940 --> 00:51:29.567 To go 100 yards right and then, if you're, if you know that knowledge, if you build all that up, then you can start practicing to get your swing better. 00:51:29.567 --> 00:51:40.202 So that's kind of how I view it know what you're capable of and what you do on a regular basis and plan for that, rather than, you know, trying to improve. 00:51:40.503 --> 00:51:43.543 Well, yeah, obviously you want to prove your swing, but, like, for me, I just think about it like, okay, I'm trying to improve. 00:51:43.543 --> 00:51:45.302 Well, yeah, obviously you want to improve your swing, but like, for me, I just think about it like, okay, I'm trying to hedge. 00:51:45.302 --> 00:51:47.000 What's my worst possible outcome? 00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:48.284 I set up for that. 00:51:48.284 --> 00:51:54.483 If I draw my gap wedge usually a little bit every time, I'm going to set up a little bit to the right with my gap wedge and hit it 100. 00:51:54.483 --> 00:52:02.545 Instead of like, oh, yeah, on the range, I'm not going to think about that at all. 00:52:02.545 --> 00:52:08.644 I'm going to go out there and set myself up and play my most predictable shot. 00:52:08.644 --> 00:52:13.202 So it's kind of those two things rather than, you know, beating a bunch of balls on the range. 00:52:13.202 --> 00:52:17.199 That's fine, but then, if you're going to go on the range, what are you kind of trying to do? 00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:20.358 Are you trying to improve your swing, or are you just trying to figure out what your swing is doing? 00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:31.503 That's a great perspective Because the knowledge is half the battle, I think for mid-handicaps we don't have all that time to practice. 00:52:31.503 --> 00:52:34.844 If you have time to practice, time to build up your swing, then do it. 00:52:34.844 --> 00:53:03.239 But if you're going to the course and you have no idea what your 7-iron does, you know, just think about the scenarios you have on the golf course and then just say, okay, yeah, this is the club that will do that, right, yeah, so it's not like, you know, mind-blowing or anything, it's just really, as a mid-handicapper, just trying to be realistic with your swing and you know, playing to know, I mean, obviously you're not going to hit them all. 00:53:03.239 --> 00:53:05.181 Good, right, um. 00:53:05.181 --> 00:53:06.722 But that's how kind of how I see it. 00:53:06.722 --> 00:53:13.545 Now I I'm more, uh, more you know course management, more, because I know that I'm

not going to hit them all. 00:53:13.585 --> 00:53:14.686 Good, right, right, right. 00:53:14.686 --> 00:53:25.780 So, yeah, if you're always hitting it from 100 yard out, find out that club that you are good with, but not only that, you can hit that. 00:53:25.780 --> 00:53:26.485 But what shot shape does it do? 00:53:26.485 --> 00:53:27.697 Right, what's the result of that? 00:53:27.697 --> 00:53:35.884 Right, because then you know, okay, yeah, if I slice it every time, then play that slice every time, but just set up for it on the course, right, I try. 00:53:36.123 --> 00:53:40.117 Yeah, we always tell them like yo play your slice, you know. 00:53:40.117 --> 00:53:41.619 And then after our rounds I was like man. 00:53:41.619 --> 00:53:48.005 If only our chipping putting course management our driver was good, we'd probably play a better score. 00:53:48.005 --> 00:53:52.471 You know, yeah, mindset that's a huge one People tend to overlook, probably. 00:53:52.530 --> 00:53:58.887 Yeah, I mean, and then I might be coming from a different place because I've been playing golf for so long so I can't. 00:53:58.887 --> 00:54:05.228 Honestly, a lot of pros and stuff that try to tell you do a lot of scenes they don't remember what it's like to be crappy at golf, right? 00:54:05.228 --> 00:54:06.411 So how can they? 00:54:06.411 --> 00:54:07.072 How can they? 00:54:07.092 --> 00:54:10.981 that's actually great even myself, me saying this in that position, like I don't. 00:54:10.981 --> 00:54:17.023 I mean I've shot in the hundreds, you know last year, I've done it before, but like I don't do it all the time, so I can't. 00:54:17.023 --> 00:54:19.778 I can only tell you you know an individual so much. 00:54:19.778 --> 00:54:22.847 The golf game of golf is so different for everyone. 00:54:22.847 --> 00:54:24.030 It's really hard. 00:54:24.030 --> 00:54:39.420 It's more people like trying to get when terms come to instructors, it's more of them getting into their system because they know, you know, they know how people can fit into it, rather than just you know going to the individual, seeing what they're doing and then making a system for them. 00:54:39.420 --> 00:54:41.438 Right, it's like it's pretty. 00:54:41.438 --> 00:54:44.786 That's why golf is so crazy, like crazy hard, you know. 00:54:44.806 --> 00:54:46.998 No, I know it's always continuous. 00:54:46.998 --> 00:54:48.884 Like you said, play your slice, yeah. 00:54:51.278 --> 00:54:54.179 The best thing that I can say for mid-hand campers is play. 00:54:54.179 --> 00:54:57.516 Try to play one type of miss Like. 00:54:57.516 --> 00:55:02.164 If you're spraying it left and right off the tee, you're just going to hit a ton out of bounds, right. 00:55:02.164 --> 00:55:15.782 But if you can like and it could be ugly or whatever, but if you know you fade it every time, even if it's a really big fade, then at least you know like you can just aim left and sometimes you'll get in the middle, sometimes you'll

slice it back into the other fairway. 00:55:15.782 --> 00:55:26.889 But if you're hitting in the middle and you go out of ten, play the slice and then that tenth one, so be it. 00:55:26.889 --> 00:55:28.010 If it goes left, whatever. 00:55:28.215 --> 00:55:33.224 Dude, it always goes straight every time I try to play my slice man. 00:55:33.956 --> 00:55:40.099 Yeah, but if you forcibly, that's like getting to know your swing, yeah, Like for me, like recently I had the driving yips or whatever. 00:55:40.099 --> 00:55:41.802 I was going left and right, left and right. 00:55:41.802 --> 00:55:53.320 Then I switched some stuff on my drive, I did some tinkering, but now I just play for a right to left shot and it's just like every time I step to the tee I know it's going to go right to left and I just live with it If one or two that go right. 00:55:53.320 --> 00:56:06.027 But if I can hit you yourself, aiming in the middle, praying your miss. 00:56:06.494 --> 00:56:06.896 Praying. 00:56:06.896 --> 00:56:08.322 Your miss doesn't go out of bounds. 00:56:08.894 --> 00:56:10.039 You'd rather just set up for it. 00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:14.103 Know your miss, it's going to be a severity, severity. 00:56:14.103 --> 00:56:19.958 You know one way or another, but at worst, at least, you won't be out of bounds. 00:56:19.958 --> 00:56:26.519 They say 100 yards in is super important, but like getting it and play off the tee, I feel like for mid-handicapper is more important. 00:56:26.519 --> 00:56:37.639 If you keep your score legitimately, if you hit out of bounds like oh that didn't count, 3-t, then of course 100 yards in is important. 00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:40.021 But you know, hitting out of bounds that's, it's tough. 00:56:40.461 --> 00:56:41.463 Aim small, miss small baby. 00:56:41.463 --> 00:56:45.405 Yeah well, I'll try, it happens man. 00:56:45.706 --> 00:56:54.817 But also try to hit as far as possible Just rip it, just rip it 100% full cowl yeah yeah yeah, yeah, man, do you have anything? 00:56:54.916 --> 00:56:55.960 else you want to. 00:56:55.960 --> 00:56:57.802 Oh, you know what I did want to mention. 00:56:57.802 --> 00:57:01.523 One of my favorite videos of yours is the Taste of the Masters. 00:57:02.014 --> 00:57:03.543 Oh okay, my favorite videos of yours is the, uh, the taste of the masters. 00:57:03.543 --> 00:57:05.077 Oh okay, I've seen that I'm like you know the lower. 00:57:05.577 --> 00:57:06.742 I wanted, I want to taste the. 00:57:06.742 --> 00:57:08.581 You know what the food is like at the masters. 00:57:08.581 --> 00:57:09.800 But I saw your video. 00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:11.896 I was like oh, this is a great video, yeah. 00:57:11.896 --> 00:57:16.561 It's I mean the food stuff you're doing now. 00:57:16.581 --> 00:57:23.128 Aren't you a, you're an iron chef. 00:57:23.548 --> 00:57:24.630 I was in the restaurant industry. 00:57:24.690 --> 00:57:26.851 Okay, yeah, that's what I thought I was watching some other episodes. 00:57:30.440 -->
