Swing thought of the day: If I were a baby & had hit that last shot, my mother would refuse to breast feed me. Yet here I am, with another chance to earn my milk.

I'll be recommending all of my clients read this. Nothing says "you suck" like hard data.

[Lou Stagner (Golf Stat Pro) @LouStagner]

🚨Exciting Announcement!🚨

I’m writing a book about amateur golf data.

This book will use data to help you better understand the game so you can play your best golf...

... it will also be THE reference manual for every amateur golf stat you can imagine.

I am writing this with Michael Hutchinson (@hutch_golf). Hutch is the Senior Director of Data Science at @ArccosGolf and also a scratch golfer.

We also have Luke Doss on the team. Luke is a Data Engineer at Arccos and also a scratch golfer.

I am excited to be writing this with a couple of VERY smart guys that both have an incredibly high golf IQ.

I have wanted to write this book for YEARS and it feels good to have the project in motion!

We are currently targeting being done by December 1st of this year.

I'll keep you updated on the progress!

but we've got a lot of work to do. Just let me and JR do our work. I'll get him back, god willing.

[Dr. Dick Shanks, Phb | Golf Performance Genius @golfjesus2]

Hmm, that's not the tune Rahmbo was singing in our therapy sessions. I take patient confidentiality very seriously, but I think I need to loosen the strings a bit to help clear this up. Here this. I had to perform an intervention just two weeks ago with JR after....

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

Jon Rahm addresses the recent “report” that he was expressing “regret” with his decision to join LIV Golf:

“There’s zero validity to what any of that said. I don’t know where it came from. I don’t know why they feel the need to say that some of us are unhappy when we’re not. It’s one of the things that frustrates me a little bit, the fact that they can claim that there’s a source and there’s zero truth to it.” 

“I’m very comfortable with my decision, very happy with my decision, very, very eager for the future of my team and the league,” explained Rahm, who as part of the move runs the Legion XIII team. “I get to be a part of something very different to what we had in the past. I always enjoyed being part of a team and to be in charge of one now is something incredible.”

This is very similar to the “reports” that Brooks Koepka was deeply unhappy in early 2023. Look how that ended up. He’s now won a major and has 5 individual LIV victories, the most of any player. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rahm did similar. He’s in a great position to win the individual and team championship double this year anyway.

...his wife called me, desperately crying. John had lit a fire in the back yard & was burning $100 dollar bills (in Saudi Currency, of course), one by one while he wept, inconsolably. Fortunately we got him on the Magic Toilet quickly & were able to flush away his demons...

NEW: UFC’s Dana White says he told a big sponsor to “go f*** yourself” after they told him to delete a social media post that he shared of Donald Trump.

Amazing 🔥🔥🔥

“One of our big sponsors called and said, take that down.”

“I said, go f*** yourself. You vote for whoever you want to vote for and I'll vote for whoever I want to vote for. That's how this works. I don't even care who you're voting for. It's none of my f***ing business. F*** you.”

Swing thought of the day: "This ball is going out of bounds and there is nothing I can say to myself to change that. So just let it happen."

[Dr. Dick Shanks, Phb | Golf Performance Genius @golfjesus2]

Dr. Bob & I are cut from the same cloth. Where he was going with this was to say that confidence is like a fart in the wind. One gust & its gone. That's why its better to learn to play with no confidence.

[Dr. Dick Shanks, Phb | Golf Performance Genius @golfjesus2]

Swing thought of the day (this is my personal fairway finder): "That little white ball is a Russian soldier & will destroy my score card like Putin parading through a tiny, Ukrainian village. It must be punished."

[Dr. Dick Shanks, Phb | Golf Performance Genius @golfjesus2]

My client "Rick" is convinced in a past life he was a scratch golfer, despite being just a 9 currently. We did a past life regression to explore this & it turns out he was scratch in 1908. He was never the same after a horse ate his favorite wooden driver.

How does one mentally process shooting 45 on a single hole? First, accept that golf isn’t “for you” & that this is likely the only thing you’ll ever do on a golf course that gets talked about. It’s your one shot at any form of attention so own it. Then, find a new job.

[Dr. Dick Shanks, Phb | Golf Performance Genius @golfjesus2]

Notice the self talk before the shot. I'd never teach that.

****To all of my clients, including my senior ladies and double digit handicaps.****

Let this be a reminder to you that if a genetic wonder, ultra gifted, unicorn of a golfer like Ben Han (who shot par when he was 9) needs to use PED's to reach his golfing potential, you should be swallowing any & every supplement you can get your hands on, regardless of the risks.

Hearing from my players on site that this was simply a "blue angel" that got out of hand during the Euro after party.

Names are not being mentioned, but one Vik Hovland is highly suspected as being the perpetrator.
