Coaching better golf.

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

This is interesting, obviously you want kids and families with good character. But if the scores are relatively equal I want the kid with a shit routine who makes some dumb mistakes occasionally.

I can coach that kid.

The polished kid could be tougher to improve

[Brad Sparling @playgolfcollege]

If you want to play college golf.

I coached at Duke and Ohio State. Here's what nobody tells you about the day a college coach shows up to watch you play.

By the time I got there, I already knew your scores. That's why I was there. The scores got you on the list.

So I wasn't watching your scorecard. I was watching what happened between shots.

Your routine. Did you have one, and did it hold up on 15 the way it did on 1?

Your body language after a bad hole. Double bogey, then what. Shoulders, pace, eyes.

Did the next tee shot look like a new hole or a continuation of the last one? How you treated the volunteers and the rules officials. The scorer at the turn. The kid carrying the standard.

Nobody thinks a coach notices that. They notice all of it. Coaches cross players off their list for how they treat a rules official.

And yes, I was watching your parents.

Where they stood. What they said at the turn. What the walk to the parking lot looked like after a 78. Coaches cross families off for that, too.

Here's what players get backwards. They think the score is the evaluation. The score is the invitation. Everything else is the evaluation.

So build a routine you can run when you're mad. Decide right now what you do after a bad hole, before you have one. Say thank you to every volunteer, every round, whether anybody's watching or not.

The score got you noticed. Everything else got you recruited.

Next tournament, pick one of those and make it the thing you're best at during that tournament.

@Top100Rick It was the bird

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@panscan27 It’s not just golf and honestly I get it because I’m old now. But wooden clubs is so dumb

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

Wooden clubs ffs… let’s be serious

[Jim McLean Golf @McLeanGolf]

Bifurcation for golf. My position has changed a bit. Change the clubs for the tour pros. Leave the ball alone. Everyone can keep what they have except for tour pros. Go back to wooden club heads or at least small metal heads. It’s just insane to keep lengthing golf courses. @usga @PGATour @SiriusXMPGATOUR @GolfDigest @GolfChannel @LouStagner @GOLF_com @fried_egg_golf @engineeringolf

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@GBeardsley @McLeanGolf @USGA When did the tour hit the highest percentage of fairways?

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

Drop kick toe to middle of fairway on 1, major drop kick snipe on 2.

Realized my legs aren’t responding because I just started lifting again a week ago… shoot -1

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@Mike_kim714 Time to get a new day job, he’s coming for you

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@Ilikeracing3 Of course

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

Seems like a misunderstanding of what he’s trying to do or can do…

It’s unlikely he’s making a “swing change” more searching for a feel that works.

Can you change your swing in a night? Not in a way it will show on TV, but ABSOLUTELY in a way it will show with ball flight.

[Lou Stagner (Golf Stat Pro) @LouStagner]

Bryson on the range at 8pm after a round.

Dedication or waste of time?

In today's Hack it Out Golf podcast, Greg and Mark are talking about practice.

Not a game. Practice. They talking about practice.
Not a game. Not a game.
Not the game we all love.
They talking about practice, man.

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@Ilikeracing3 That too… it’s a whole thing. And as many balls as he hits on the regular I doubt it’s going to “wear him out”

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@JustinSadauskas @sir_mercer @Mike_kim714 Average tour fairway is 31

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@JustinSadauskas @Mike_kim714 Nope

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@n10siveporpoise @TotalBrownsMove @acaseofthegolf1 Makes a ton of sense

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@n10siveporpoise @acaseofthegolf1 Stop it.

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@FreedomVirus0 @iamswoboda @Mr_Husky1 Increase your value.
Go to a competitor who will pay in stock.
Start your own company.

Capitalism is amazing, so many options.

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@adamyounggolf @paddo Keep your butt on the chair, Jack!

Goat humper or GOAT humper?

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@FreedomVirus0 @iamswoboda @Mr_Husky1 Then negotiate for stock.

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@TheStreetsofATX @Pack_Rat_EWaste Not if you want to make minimum wage a “livable” wage

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

Well, that’s a pretty terrible argument given the popularity of each of these sports is nearly inverse to “ball in play”

FWIW, golf has dozens of balls in play at all times and still nobody watches

[Andrew Petcash @AndrewPetcash]

This is a MAJOR problem in sports!

For how long the games are...so little of it is actual "game play".

Definitely creating an opportunity for new leagues (and showing the need for alternative ways to monetize beyond just media rights & ads).

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@GageEHC @dcbvsdcb22 @acaseofthegolf1 Yes

[MM🇺🇸 @MMGOLFSTUDIOS]

@WSWayland Man… that went a different Thani expected… the first 4 lines had my attention
