00:00:16.000 –> 00:00:18.000

I’m your host, Brett Gilliland. Today, I’ve got Kevin Doughtery

00:00:18.000 –> 00:00:20.000

with me. Kevin, how you doing, my man?

00:00:21.000 –> 00:00:23.000

I’m doing great. How about you? I’m doing

00:00:23.000 –> 00:00:25.000

great. I’m here in Dallas, Texas. Right?

00:00:25.000 –> 00:00:28.000

Yes, sir. It’s where home is, and finally

00:00:28.000 –> 00:00:30.000

getting to spend some time at home. I

00:00:30.000 –> 00:00:32.000

mean, Kevin after the season ended,

00:00:33.000 –> 00:00:35.000

we’ve been on the road everywhere. So it’s

00:00:35.000 –> 00:00:38.000

definitely really nice just to be home and

00:00:39.000 –> 00:00:39.000

in place.

00:00:40.000 –> 00:00:41.000

Nice night at home. Isn’t it? Yeah, as

00:00:41.000 –> 00:00:42.000

you’ll you’ll find, because I think you got

00:00:42.000 –> 00:00:44.000

a little one. So as those kids get

00:00:44.000 –> 00:00:45.000

bigger, even if you’re, if you are at

00:00:45.000 –> 00:00:47.000

home, sometimes you’re not at home. So,

00:00:48.000 –> 00:00:50.000

well, listen, man. You are Kevin Doughtery. You

00:00:50.000 –> 00:00:52.000

are a PGA tour,

00:00:53.000 –> 00:00:55.000

player. You know, you’re not just a PGA

00:00:55.000 –> 00:00:57.000

tour cardholder. You are PGA tour player, my

00:00:57.000 –> 00:00:59.000

man. And so, you know, we go way

00:00:59.000 –> 00:01:02.000

back two years ago. We got them elevated

00:01:02.000 –> 00:01:04.000

together. You look like a golfer. I think

00:01:04.000 –> 00:01:05.000

had my sticks with me. I had the

00:01:05.000 –> 00:01:08.000

privilege of playing Muirfield village. You were, at

00:01:08.000 –> 00:01:10.000

a golf tournament, I think, at the Corn

00:01:10.000 –> 00:01:12.000

Ferry and made for the qualifier, if I’m

00:01:12.000 –> 00:01:14.000

not mistaken. And We struck up a conversation.

00:01:14.000 –> 00:01:16.000

We ended up being next door neighbors. We

00:01:16.000 –> 00:01:18.000

started phoning each other on Instagram, and now

00:01:18.000 –> 00:01:20.000

here we are at a podcast. You just

00:01:20.000 –> 00:01:21.000

qualified for the PGA tour.

00:01:22.000 –> 00:01:23.000

But before we dive into any of that

00:01:23.000 –> 00:01:26.000

stuff, man, I wanna start for our listeners,

00:01:26.000 –> 00:01:29.000

about a massive lesson that I’ve learned, through

00:01:29.000 –> 00:01:31.000

this whole thing. So I’m gonna brag on

00:01:31.000 –> 00:01:33.000

Kevin for a minute. I, reached out to

00:01:33.000 –> 00:01:36.000

Kevin. Kevin was very nice, gave us of

00:01:36.000 –> 00:01:38.000

his time. We did a podcast. Well,

00:01:39.000 –> 00:01:40.000

Brett had a computer that was a little

00:01:40.000 –> 00:01:42.000

bit older. And,

00:01:42.000 –> 00:01:43.000

my,

00:01:43.000 –> 00:01:46.000

technology, let’s say, wasn’t great. And it happened

00:01:46.000 –> 00:01:47.000

on a couple guest, and I didn’t think

00:01:47.000 –> 00:01:48.000

much of it. I thought it was just

00:01:48.000 –> 00:01:50.000

a rainy day. It’s bad wifi, but it

00:01:50.000 –> 00:01:52.000

really was bad on our time.

00:01:52.000 –> 00:01:55.000

And I got off. I was so embarrassed

00:01:55.000 –> 00:01:56.000

I’m like, my god. I hope I can

00:01:56.000 –> 00:01:58.000

idiot. You know, I’ve had all these guests

00:01:58.000 –> 00:02:00.000

on. And now here, Kevin has to give

00:02:00.000 –> 00:02:01.000

us his time. He thinks I’m this terrible

00:02:01.000 –> 00:02:03.000

person. And and in our minds, we build

00:02:03.000 –> 00:02:05.000

these fears. And the people listen to this,

00:02:05.000 –> 00:02:07.000

I’m sorry to do all the talking, Kevin,

00:02:07.000 –> 00:02:08.000

but we put it in our minds. It

00:02:08.000 –> 00:02:10.000

never blows up to our magnitude that we

00:02:10.000 –> 00:02:12.000

believe it to be. Right? A hundred percent.

00:02:13.000 –> 00:02:13.000

And

00:02:14.000 –> 00:02:15.000

I said, you know what, man, I gotta

00:02:15.000 –> 00:02:17.000

reach out to this guy on Instagram and

00:02:17.000 –> 00:02:18.000

apologize

00:02:18.000 –> 00:02:20.000

and, you know, tell him I was terrible

00:02:20.000 –> 00:02:22.000

as a host and

00:02:22.000 –> 00:02:24.000

kinda eat crow, and then humbly asked him

00:02:24.000 –> 00:02:26.000

if he’d even be open to doing it

00:02:26.000 –> 00:02:28.000

again. And here’s what I learned, ladies and

00:02:28.000 –> 00:02:30.000

gentlemen. He said, yes.

00:02:30.000 –> 00:02:32.000

Let’s do it. And I’m like, you know,

00:02:32.000 –> 00:02:34.000

in life, we put people on pedestals. Here’s

00:02:34.000 –> 00:02:37.000

a PGA tour player. He’s gonna say, no.

00:02:37.000 –> 00:02:39.000

What an idiot Brett is? And all those

00:02:39.000 –> 00:02:41.000

fears never came true. So, Kevin, you are

00:02:41.000 –> 00:02:43.000

the man. I appreciate it. Sorry for the

00:02:43.000 –> 00:02:44.000

long intro, but I think it says a

00:02:44.000 –> 00:02:46.000

lot about you and your character and who

00:02:46.000 –> 00:02:46.000

you are.

00:02:47.000 –> 00:02:49.000

Yeah. No. Definitely. Mean,

00:02:49.000 –> 00:02:52.000

just because of what I do for a

00:02:52.000 –> 00:02:54.000

living doesn’t change who I am as a

00:02:54.000 –> 00:02:57.000

person. And I’m technically, I’m at fault as

00:02:57.000 –> 00:02:59.000

well. I mean, I completely

00:03:00.000 –> 00:03:03.000

I completely whipped our makeup interview

00:03:04.000 –> 00:03:06.000

We’re back from Kevin on Monday,

00:03:07.000 –> 00:03:09.000

and we had a schedule for Tuesday. And

00:03:09.000 –> 00:03:12.000

about 05:00 on Tuesday, I was going through

00:03:12.000 –> 00:03:13.000

my calendar. I’m like,

00:03:14.000 –> 00:03:16.000

oh, no. Oh, no.

00:03:17.000 –> 00:03:18.000

Hey. I thought it was the next day.

00:03:18.000 –> 00:03:21.000

And So that’s my fault, but now I’m

00:03:21.000 –> 00:03:22.000

glad that we can kind of make it

00:03:22.000 –> 00:03:25.000

work and just kind of both being easygoing.

00:03:26.000 –> 00:03:28.000

I think that’s pretty important these days to

00:03:28.000 –> 00:03:30.000

feel. As if a lot of people have

00:03:30.000 –> 00:03:31.000

kind of lost that easygoing,

00:03:32.000 –> 00:03:34.000

just kind of roll with the punches and

00:03:34.000 –> 00:03:36.000

see how everything turns out. Yep. I think

00:03:36.000 –> 00:03:38.000

we both would agree. If if these are

00:03:38.000 –> 00:03:40.000

our biggest problems in life, we’re pretty damn

00:03:40.000 –> 00:03:41.000

lucky, aren’t we?

00:03:41.000 –> 00:03:44.000

We’re doing okay. Yeah. We’re doing just fine.

00:03:44.000 –> 00:03:45.000

So let me give a little backstory here.

00:03:45.000 –> 00:03:47.000

So another thing I wanna talk about, Kevin,

00:03:47.000 –> 00:03:49.000

is, I found in my research to be

00:03:49.000 –> 00:03:51.000

awesome, is and I know you guys talked

00:03:51.000 –> 00:03:53.000

about this on, on the subpar podcast with

00:03:53.000 –> 00:03:55.000

Colton Oss and the sleaze, and those guys

00:03:55.000 –> 00:03:56.000

are hilarious. They’re awesome.

00:03:57.000 –> 00:03:58.000

Colts coming on soon. I told you, and

00:03:58.000 –> 00:04:00.000

I’ve already had the sleaze. So they’re good

00:04:00.000 –> 00:04:01.000

guys. But,

00:04:02.000 –> 00:04:03.000

people talk about it, and it it’s your

00:04:03.000 –> 00:04:05.000

perseverance. You know, you you almost made it

00:04:05.000 –> 00:04:07.000

on the tour a couple times You know,

00:04:07.000 –> 00:04:09.000

I watched that chip numerous times. It was,

00:04:09.000 –> 00:04:11.000

you know, an inch from going in and

00:04:11.000 –> 00:04:13.000

and did not go in, which would’ve got

00:04:13.000 –> 00:04:15.000

your PGA tour card, thirty one years old.

00:04:15.000 –> 00:04:18.000

And now you earn it. Talk about that

00:04:18.000 –> 00:04:19.000

grind, man, and talk about that journey of

00:04:19.000 –> 00:04:21.000

what you’ve learned to get you to where

00:04:21.000 –> 00:04:23.000

you are now, getting right start on the

00:04:23.000 –> 00:04:24.000

PGA tour.

00:04:25.000 –> 00:04:28.000

Yeah. I just think I’ve surrounded myself with

00:04:28.000 –> 00:04:29.000

an incredibly

00:04:30.000 –> 00:04:30.000

close

00:04:31.000 –> 00:04:32.000

small circle

00:04:32.000 –> 00:04:33.000

of support.

00:04:33.000 –> 00:04:34.000

And

00:04:34.000 –> 00:04:36.000

they’ve kinda beaten it into me that,

00:04:37.000 –> 00:04:39.000

I mean, the ultimate goal is is not

00:04:39.000 –> 00:04:41.000

making the PJ tour. It’s not

00:04:42.000 –> 00:04:44.000

winning a PJ Tourpan. It’s not winning a

00:04:44.000 –> 00:04:47.000

major championship. I mean, it’s enjoying this journey

00:04:48.000 –> 00:04:49.000

and kind of learning

00:04:50.000 –> 00:04:52.000

as you go along the way, and I

00:04:52.000 –> 00:04:54.000

feel like I’ve done a job of that.

00:04:54.000 –> 00:04:57.000

And that’s definitely been something that’s kept me

00:04:57.000 –> 00:04:57.000

going,

00:04:58.000 –> 00:04:59.000

even in those

00:04:59.000 –> 00:05:02.000

really tough times, like, twenty eighteen when I

00:05:02.000 –> 00:05:02.000

finished

00:05:03.000 –> 00:05:05.000

twenty six, and the next year I had

00:05:05.000 –> 00:05:07.000

a pretty good chance. And

00:05:07.000 –> 00:05:09.000

just made a debacle of the last hole

00:05:09.000 –> 00:05:09.000

and

00:05:10.000 –> 00:05:12.000

just having a very positive

00:05:12.000 –> 00:05:15.000

set of parents, a positive wife, my brother,

00:05:16.000 –> 00:05:18.000

all my coaches, and then that small circle

00:05:18.000 –> 00:05:20.000

of friends that I mean I pretty much

00:05:20.000 –> 00:05:21.000

called my family.

00:05:21.000 –> 00:05:22.000

They’re all in it with me and that

00:05:22.000 –> 00:05:23.000

just kinda

00:05:24.000 –> 00:05:26.000

keeps the train going. Yeah. So I heard

00:05:26.000 –> 00:05:27.000

on a podcast you were on. It might

00:05:27.000 –> 00:05:28.000

have been the subpar when,

00:05:29.000 –> 00:05:31.000

I think you sat down with your dad.

00:05:31.000 –> 00:05:33.000

Right? And your dad You said, hey, I

00:05:33.000 –> 00:05:34.000

don’t know if I wanna do this anymore.

00:05:34.000 –> 00:05:36.000

And what what’d your dad tell you?

00:05:37.000 –> 00:05:39.000

Yeah. So it was that would’ve been a

00:05:39.000 –> 00:05:40.000

COVID year.

00:05:40.000 –> 00:05:42.000

And it was kinda like the wraparound season.

00:05:42.000 –> 00:05:43.000

So it was a long season.

00:05:44.000 –> 00:05:45.000

Nobody really knew

00:05:46.000 –> 00:05:48.000

what was gonna happen if we were just

00:05:48.000 –> 00:05:50.000

gonna stop playing again if COVID spiked up

00:05:50.000 –> 00:05:52.000

again or whatever. So I’m just kinda in

00:05:52.000 –> 00:05:53.000

a rut and

00:05:53.000 –> 00:05:54.000

I felt like I was

00:05:55.000 –> 00:05:57.000

working hard and I was traveling with two

00:05:57.000 –> 00:06:00.000

of my really good buddies that had kids.

00:06:00.000 –> 00:06:02.000

I didn’t have a daughter at the time,

00:06:02.000 –> 00:06:04.000

and they were on the end of their

00:06:04.000 –> 00:06:06.000

careers. So they were talking about

00:06:07.000 –> 00:06:10.000

kinda wrapping it up, and I kinda fell

00:06:10.000 –> 00:06:12.000

into that a little bit. Like Yeah. Easy

00:06:12.000 –> 00:06:15.000

to do. Yeah. They seem to be just

00:06:15.000 –> 00:06:16.000

fine with it and

00:06:16.000 –> 00:06:19.000

So it was after an event, and I

00:06:19.000 –> 00:06:21.000

I believe I missed a cut in Utah

00:06:21.000 –> 00:06:23.000

and it was a quick flight back to

00:06:23.000 –> 00:06:25.000

my hometown in Marietta, California.

00:06:26.000 –> 00:06:27.000

Sat down my dad. He was, hey, you

00:06:27.000 –> 00:06:30.000

just you kinda seem a little off. Like,

00:06:30.000 –> 00:06:32.000

what’s going on? And I told him, like,

00:06:32.000 –> 00:06:33.000

I just don’t know

00:06:33.000 –> 00:06:35.000

if I wanna do this anymore, I mean,

00:06:35.000 –> 00:06:37.000

I vividly remember him saying, like,

00:06:39.000 –> 00:06:41.000

right now, you don’t have

00:06:42.000 –> 00:06:43.000

a child. You have

00:06:44.000 –> 00:06:47.000

a very supportive set of parents, a very

00:06:47.000 –> 00:06:48.000

supportive set of in laws,

00:06:49.000 –> 00:06:50.000

an unbelievable life.

00:06:51.000 –> 00:06:51.000

And

00:06:52.000 –> 00:06:54.000

if you can kinda get the same back

00:06:54.000 –> 00:06:56.000

on track, like, you can provide for your

00:06:56.000 –> 00:06:57.000

family

00:06:57.000 –> 00:06:59.000

in more ways and just financially. I mean,

00:07:00.000 –> 00:07:02.000

my daughter’s been on my daughter’s been on

00:07:02.000 –> 00:07:05.000

forty flights probably. And she’s not even not

00:07:05.000 –> 00:07:06.000

even a year and a half old and

00:07:07.000 –> 00:07:11.000

different countries. And so and that kinda sparked

00:07:11.000 –> 00:07:13.000

something in me. Like, this is something that

00:07:13.000 –> 00:07:15.000

I really do wanna do. I’m just need

00:07:15.000 –> 00:07:17.000

to get away from just trying to take

00:07:17.000 –> 00:07:20.000

the easy way out and almost play victim

00:07:20.000 –> 00:07:22.000

a little bit. And, I mean, that was

00:07:22.000 –> 00:07:22.000

an amazing

00:07:23.000 –> 00:07:26.000

very intimate, like, conversation. I had, like, very

00:07:26.000 –> 00:07:26.000

touching.

00:07:26.000 –> 00:07:28.000

Yeah. Which I think is huge because it

00:07:28.000 –> 00:07:30.000

whether it’s your dad or just a a

00:07:30.000 –> 00:07:32.000

friend, a mentor. I mean, I think sometimes

00:07:32.000 –> 00:07:34.000

you need to hear. You got you got

00:07:34.000 –> 00:07:36.000

people in your corner, and thinking about your

00:07:36.000 –> 00:07:38.000

success and and and believing in your success.

00:07:38.000 –> 00:07:40.000

Right? And I always say as a leader,

00:07:40.000 –> 00:07:41.000

sometimes we have to believe in somebody’s success

00:07:41.000 –> 00:07:43.000

more than they believe in themselves, don’t you

00:07:43.000 –> 00:07:43.000

think?

00:07:44.000 –> 00:07:46.000

Oh, a hundred percent. And

00:07:46.000 –> 00:07:48.000

just going back to kinda small circle of

00:07:48.000 –> 00:07:51.000

support, and it kinda just dawned on me.

00:07:51.000 –> 00:07:52.000

But that same season,

00:07:52.000 –> 00:07:54.000

we’re kinda getting towards the end of the

00:07:54.000 –> 00:07:55.000

year, and

00:07:56.000 –> 00:07:58.000

it was kinda in that same time frame

00:07:58.000 –> 00:07:59.000

where I had had that conversation with my

00:07:59.000 –> 00:08:01.000

dad. My coach is out with me and

00:08:01.000 –> 00:08:02.000

He’s like,

00:08:03.000 –> 00:08:04.000

no matter what you end up doing, like,

00:08:04.000 –> 00:08:06.000

we’re always gonna be

00:08:06.000 –> 00:08:08.000

close. I mean, this relationship we

00:08:09.000 –> 00:08:10.000

golf is

00:08:10.000 –> 00:08:12.000

business, but then outside of that, it’s friendship.

00:08:13.000 –> 00:08:14.000

And because all I want you to do

00:08:14.000 –> 00:08:17.000

is just kinda give it your Gilliland

00:08:17.000 –> 00:08:18.000

just make sure you get to the finish

00:08:18.000 –> 00:08:20.000

line before you make up your mind.

00:08:20.000 –> 00:08:23.000

And that was just like

00:08:23.000 –> 00:08:25.000

another one of those sparks. And, I mean,

00:08:25.000 –> 00:08:27.000

just kind of conversations like that got me

00:08:27.000 –> 00:08:29.000

through one of the, like, my down years

00:08:29.000 –> 00:08:30.000

and my career. And,

00:08:31.000 –> 00:08:33.000

I mean, I look back at them now

00:08:33.000 –> 00:08:34.000

and I’m like holy cows or,

00:08:35.000 –> 00:08:36.000

I mean, pivotal

00:08:37.000 –> 00:08:39.000

kind of turn, like, times or whatever you

00:08:39.000 –> 00:08:41.000

wanna call it in in my career.

00:08:42.000 –> 00:08:44.000

So very, very grateful for those

00:08:45.000 –> 00:08:46.000

conversations and

00:08:47.000 –> 00:08:49.000

So talk about the preparation. I think, again,

00:08:49.000 –> 00:08:51.000

let’s let’s take the golf course back to

00:08:51.000 –> 00:08:53.000

the board room here for work, for leaders,

00:08:53.000 –> 00:08:55.000

and, people listening to this, is

00:08:55.000 –> 00:08:56.000

your preparation.

00:08:57.000 –> 00:08:59.000

What what’s that light for you on off

00:08:59.000 –> 00:09:01.000

weeks Obviously, now you’re getting ready to go.

00:09:01.000 –> 00:09:03.000

You probably start what in Hawaii in January

00:09:03.000 –> 00:09:04.000

here in the next month.

00:09:05.000 –> 00:09:08.000

Yeah. And so what’s that preparation like in

00:09:08.000 –> 00:09:10.000

the next thirty days. Obviously, Brett the holidays

00:09:10.000 –> 00:09:11.000

in there. But what what’s that like for

00:09:11.000 –> 00:09:12.000

you?

00:09:12.000 –> 00:09:14.000

Yeah. So it’s been amazing.

00:09:15.000 –> 00:09:18.000

Just kinda have some downtime and focus on

00:09:19.000 –> 00:09:20.000

kind of the way we wanna go and

00:09:20.000 –> 00:09:22.000

structure this off season.

00:09:22.000 –> 00:09:25.000

The way my personality is is I’m kind

00:09:25.000 –> 00:09:28.000

of a leave, like, don’t leave any stone

00:09:28.000 –> 00:09:29.000

unturned.

00:09:29.000 –> 00:09:30.000

I mean, it goes from

00:09:31.000 –> 00:09:33.000

literally when I wake up in the morning

00:09:33.000 –> 00:09:35.000

to every meal that I put in my

00:09:35.000 –> 00:09:37.000

body to my workouts,

00:09:38.000 –> 00:09:40.000

to the ways I structure my practice. I

00:09:40.000 –> 00:09:44.000

mean, pretty much speaking just golf,

00:09:44.000 –> 00:09:45.000

I mean, I have

00:09:46.000 –> 00:09:47.000

fundamental practice,

00:09:48.000 –> 00:09:50.000

skill development practice, and then games. And I

00:09:50.000 –> 00:09:51.000

try to just separate them

00:09:52.000 –> 00:09:54.000

like, one third, one third, one third.

00:09:55.000 –> 00:09:57.000

I mean, so there’s a bunch. And what’s

00:09:57.000 –> 00:09:58.000

that like? So nothing to Brett, but so

00:09:58.000 –> 00:09:59.000

that day, so is that like an eight

00:09:59.000 –> 00:10:01.000

hour day? Is that twelve hours? Five for

00:10:01.000 –> 00:10:02.000

it? What is that?

00:10:04.000 –> 00:10:05.000

I mean, I’d say a normal day. I’d

00:10:05.000 –> 00:10:07.000

get up at 6AM,

00:10:08.000 –> 00:10:09.000

and

00:10:09.000 –> 00:10:12.000

Brett much from six to 06:30, I do

00:10:12.000 –> 00:10:15.000

all of my mindfulness stuff. I know we

00:10:15.000 –> 00:10:17.000

talked about it a little bit and it’s

00:10:17.000 –> 00:10:20.000

just pretty much a way like you were

00:10:20.000 –> 00:10:21.000

talking about those thoughts that come into your

00:10:21.000 –> 00:10:22.000

mind and some

00:10:23.000 –> 00:10:24.000

get bigger.

00:10:24.000 –> 00:10:26.000

It’s just a way to

00:10:26.000 –> 00:10:29.000

get rid of disruptive thoughts and just don’t

00:10:29.000 –> 00:10:31.000

give them any credit because technically they don’t

00:10:31.000 –> 00:10:32.000

really mean anything.

00:10:33.000 –> 00:10:35.000

So I do that and then I spend

00:10:35.000 –> 00:10:37.000

the morning with my daughter and my wife,

00:10:37.000 –> 00:10:40.000

and we always do coffee and an unbelievable

00:10:40.000 –> 00:10:41.000

Brett, and

00:10:41.000 –> 00:10:43.000

by that time, she’s about ready to go

00:10:43.000 –> 00:10:45.000

down for a nap, and I’m out of

00:10:45.000 –> 00:10:47.000

the golf course at about 10AM. And

00:10:48.000 –> 00:10:50.000

depending on who’s out there or

00:10:51.000 –> 00:10:52.000

if it’s just myself,

00:10:52.000 –> 00:10:53.000

kind of structures.

00:10:54.000 –> 00:10:55.000

What I’m gonna do for that day, I

00:10:55.000 –> 00:10:58.000

mean, I have kind of my non negotiables

00:10:58.000 –> 00:11:00.000

that I have to get done. Every day

00:11:00.000 –> 00:11:02.000

with golf swing, short game,

00:11:02.000 –> 00:11:03.000

putting,

00:11:03.000 –> 00:11:05.000

stuff like that. And then if there’s guys

00:11:05.000 –> 00:11:09.000

there, we’ll go play a game and then

00:11:09.000 –> 00:11:09.000

come

00:11:10.000 –> 00:11:12.000

Brett much pretty much

00:11:13.000 –> 00:11:15.000

You’re basically living every guy like me’s dream.

00:11:15.000 –> 00:11:17.000

Right, is you do you get permission every

00:11:17.000 –> 00:11:19.000

day to go practice your golf game and

00:11:19.000 –> 00:11:20.000

go play a game of golf with your

00:11:20.000 –> 00:11:22.000

buddies, but really it’s work. And there’s no

00:11:22.000 –> 00:11:24.000

air quotes in that. That legitimately is work

00:11:24.000 –> 00:11:26.000

and how you’re providing for your family.

00:11:27.000 –> 00:11:29.000

Yeah. It definitely is. And now I’ll get

00:11:29.000 –> 00:11:30.000

home around

00:11:31.000 –> 00:11:32.000

four, 04:30, and

00:11:32.000 –> 00:11:34.000

I have a gym here at the house

00:11:34.000 –> 00:11:34.000

and

00:11:35.000 –> 00:11:37.000

normally my wife works out with me at

00:11:37.000 –> 00:11:39.000

the same time. It’s when my daughter’s down

00:11:39.000 –> 00:11:41.000

for a second nap, and Yep.

00:11:42.000 –> 00:11:43.000

Gilliland,

00:11:43.000 –> 00:11:44.000

I mean, I’m

00:11:44.000 –> 00:11:47.000

I’m pretty much asleep on the couch every

00:11:47.000 –> 00:11:48.000

night at 08:15.

00:11:49.000 –> 00:11:50.000

Dang.

00:11:50.000 –> 00:11:53.000

Brett at nine. I’m asleep by nine. If

00:11:53.000 –> 00:11:54.000

it’s either on the couch, then I have

00:11:54.000 –> 00:11:55.000

to roll over into the bed or

00:11:57.000 –> 00:11:58.000

I’m in bed pretty early.

00:11:59.000 –> 00:12:00.000

Yeah. And another thing I heard too is,

00:12:00.000 –> 00:12:02.000

which I loved and I thought this was

00:12:02.000 –> 00:12:05.000

really an abundant thinking, which is important. Right?

00:12:05.000 –> 00:12:06.000

For anything, but is,

00:12:07.000 –> 00:12:09.000

what you do on the road Kevin for

00:12:09.000 –> 00:12:11.000

your eating. I mean, how important that is

00:12:11.000 –> 00:12:13.000

for you and kinda get detail with that

00:12:13.000 –> 00:12:15.000

if you want. But I think And they

00:12:15.000 –> 00:12:17.000

ask you, like, you know, that’s not cheap.

00:12:17.000 –> 00:12:18.000

Right? And it’s not like,

00:12:19.000 –> 00:12:21.000

you know, in in golf, which is what

00:12:21.000 –> 00:12:23.000

I love about and kinda don’t like about

00:12:23.000 –> 00:12:24.000

it is there’s no there’s not they’re not

00:12:24.000 –> 00:12:26.000

signing you an eighteen million dollar a year

00:12:26.000 –> 00:12:28.000

contract and hoping you hit, you know, you

00:12:28.000 –> 00:12:30.000

know, one eighty for the St. Louis cardinals.

00:12:30.000 –> 00:12:32.000

You gotta go out and earn Right? But

00:12:32.000 –> 00:12:33.000

you are investing your dollars,

00:12:34.000 –> 00:12:37.000

extra dollars into your food prep. So talk

00:12:37.000 –> 00:12:38.000

about that.

00:12:38.000 –> 00:12:40.000

Yeah. So the nutrition part

00:12:41.000 –> 00:12:44.000

kind of dawned on me. It would be

00:12:44.000 –> 00:12:46.000

my Brett shirt freshman year of college.

00:12:47.000 –> 00:12:48.000

And Oklahoma State, by the way.

00:12:49.000 –> 00:12:51.000

Yep. I got injured in college. I fractured

00:12:52.000 –> 00:12:53.000

my l five,

00:12:53.000 –> 00:12:56.000

and I was out for the spring semester,

00:12:56.000 –> 00:12:58.000

and I’m like, this sucks. And that’s when

00:12:58.000 –> 00:13:00.000

I got bitness and nutrition.

00:13:01.000 –> 00:13:01.000

And

00:13:02.000 –> 00:13:04.000

I pretty much told myself that I’m never

00:13:04.000 –> 00:13:06.000

under my control, I’m never gonna get hurt

00:13:06.000 –> 00:13:07.000

again. If it’s a

00:13:08.000 –> 00:13:09.000

small stabilizing

00:13:10.000 –> 00:13:12.000

injury that I could have avoided. Like, that’s

00:13:12.000 –> 00:13:14.000

not gonna happen in my book.

00:13:14.000 –> 00:13:16.000

And so I was just taking the deepest

00:13:16.000 –> 00:13:19.000

dive into it and found an amazing guy

00:13:19.000 –> 00:13:21.000

that I work with down in encinitas, California.

00:13:21.000 –> 00:13:24.000

His name is Robert Yang, very holistic.

00:13:25.000 –> 00:13:26.000

He has a very

00:13:27.000 –> 00:13:27.000

straightforward

00:13:28.000 –> 00:13:29.000

type of way of eating.

00:13:29.000 –> 00:13:31.000

And just to kind of give you a

00:13:31.000 –> 00:13:32.000

quick preview on that, I mean,

00:13:33.000 –> 00:13:34.000

pretty much is

00:13:35.000 –> 00:13:37.000

outline or overview of how he’d like you

00:13:37.000 –> 00:13:39.000

to eat is the easiest way to maintain

00:13:39.000 –> 00:13:40.000

blood sugar

00:13:40.000 –> 00:13:43.000

and it’s protein fat and fiber. So

00:13:44.000 –> 00:13:48.000

protein is coming from animal. He’s massive into

00:13:49.000 –> 00:13:50.000

high quality

00:13:51.000 –> 00:13:52.000

organically stores

00:13:53.000 –> 00:13:56.000

grass fed cows or pasture raised poultry stuff

00:13:56.000 –> 00:13:59.000

like that just because the amino in it.

00:13:59.000 –> 00:14:00.000

You can’t

00:14:01.000 –> 00:14:02.000

get the amino acids on

00:14:03.000 –> 00:14:06.000

a plant based diet versus this animal based.

00:14:06.000 –> 00:14:09.000

And I mean, I felt I felt amazing.

00:14:09.000 –> 00:14:10.000

And

00:14:10.000 –> 00:14:12.000

when I literally wake up

00:14:13.000 –> 00:14:15.000

on the dot, I have the most energy

00:14:16.000 –> 00:14:17.000

throughout the entire day,

00:14:18.000 –> 00:14:18.000

and

00:14:19.000 –> 00:14:20.000

I just had to find a way to

00:14:20.000 –> 00:14:23.000

have that same thing on the road.

00:14:23.000 –> 00:14:24.000

So we just started

00:14:25.000 –> 00:14:28.000

renting houses every week, and I just cook

00:14:28.000 –> 00:14:30.000

every meal just because I can control

00:14:31.000 –> 00:14:33.000

every single thing that goes into it. I

00:14:33.000 –> 00:14:35.000

mean, if you go to a restaurant, they

00:14:35.000 –> 00:14:37.000

would actually show you what was in

00:14:38.000 –> 00:14:40.000

whatever, in a steak and vegetables. I mean,

00:14:40.000 –> 00:14:43.000

there’s gonna be terrible oils they use with

00:14:43.000 –> 00:14:46.000

it. It’s probably gonna be some sort of

00:14:47.000 –> 00:14:49.000

corn syrup or sugar on a sauce that

00:14:49.000 –> 00:14:51.000

they put on. I mean, so I’m just

00:14:51.000 –> 00:14:53.000

taking out all those factors and I just

00:14:53.000 –> 00:14:54.000

feel amazing.

00:14:55.000 –> 00:14:56.000

Yeah. I mean, what a commitment. What so

00:14:56.000 –> 00:14:57.000

what do you do when you go to?

00:14:57.000 –> 00:14:59.000

I mean, obviously you gotta go to events

00:14:59.000 –> 00:15:01.000

and, you know, your sponsors, and you go

00:15:01.000 –> 00:15:03.000

to nice dinners and all those things. So,

00:15:03.000 –> 00:15:04.000

I mean, what do you do if you’re

00:15:04.000 –> 00:15:06.000

at a nice high end steakhouse?

00:15:07.000 –> 00:15:08.000

How do you order food?

00:15:09.000 –> 00:15:11.000

Yeah. I just go pretty much as plain

00:15:11.000 –> 00:15:11.000

as possible.

00:15:12.000 –> 00:15:14.000

I mean, I’ll just get

00:15:15.000 –> 00:15:15.000

a very

00:15:16.000 –> 00:15:18.000

basic steak. I mean, say if we’re going

00:15:18.000 –> 00:15:20.000

to a steak house, it would be just

00:15:20.000 –> 00:15:23.000

a very basic steak, no sauce or anything

00:15:23.000 –> 00:15:26.000

like that. And Just get sweet vegetables. And

00:15:26.000 –> 00:15:28.000

normally, sometimes they’ll have a big sweet potato

00:15:29.000 –> 00:15:31.000

or just white rice or just something kinda

00:15:31.000 –> 00:15:33.000

easy like that and just keep it very

00:15:33.000 –> 00:15:35.000

simple. I mean Okay. Like, I I don’t

00:15:35.000 –> 00:15:38.000

eat any dairy, gluten,

00:15:38.000 –> 00:15:40.000

refined, like, I don’t eat any refined sugar.

00:15:40.000 –> 00:15:43.000

I’ll eat Brett. But no added sugars or

00:15:43.000 –> 00:15:45.000

anything like that. And,

00:15:46.000 –> 00:15:47.000

fortunately, I think I got this gene where

00:15:47.000 –> 00:15:49.000

I don’t like the taste of any sort

00:15:49.000 –> 00:15:50.000

of alcohol.

00:15:52.000 –> 00:15:55.000

So I may have tried literally great bottles

00:15:55.000 –> 00:15:56.000

of wine, and

00:15:57.000 –> 00:15:59.000

high end tequila. It all just tastes like

00:15:59.000 –> 00:16:02.000

gasoline to me. It’s like, oh, it’s burns.

00:16:02.000 –> 00:16:02.000

Yeah.

00:16:03.000 –> 00:16:06.000

So no no bourbon for you. Yeah. No.

00:16:06.000 –> 00:16:08.000

For me. I mean, I just put in

00:16:08.000 –> 00:16:11.000

all of it completely. So That’s awesome. That’s

00:16:11.000 –> 00:16:12.000

awesome. Good for you.

00:16:13.000 –> 00:16:15.000

Talk about the, you know, growing up, I

00:16:15.000 –> 00:16:16.000

think it’s important.

00:16:17.000 –> 00:16:19.000

You you can’t you you and Ricky Fowler

00:16:19.000 –> 00:16:20.000

have a relationship. Right? Both from the same

00:16:20.000 –> 00:16:21.000

hometown.

00:16:21.000 –> 00:16:23.000

Oklahoma State University.

00:16:24.000 –> 00:16:26.000

Talk about that. And I know, you know,

00:16:26.000 –> 00:16:28.000

you probably kinda right behind you here. You

00:16:28.000 –> 00:16:29.000

can see what you can see this blue

00:16:29.000 –> 00:16:31.000

back around here. That’s Jackie Joiner, Kersey, one

00:16:31.000 –> 00:16:32.000

of the greatest females,

00:16:33.000 –> 00:16:36.000

athletes ever. And she’s from, you know, six

00:16:36.000 –> 00:16:37.000

miles up the road. And I know a

00:16:37.000 –> 00:16:38.000

lot of people that have come out of

00:16:38.000 –> 00:16:41.000

that town And they said, they were they

00:16:41.000 –> 00:16:43.000

saw somebody do it. Right? They saw Jackie

00:16:43.000 –> 00:16:46.000

Joiner, Kersey. And so what about Ricky Fowler

00:16:46.000 –> 00:16:46.000

for you?

00:16:47.000 –> 00:16:49.000

We came from a little bit of,

00:16:50.000 –> 00:16:54.000

small town golf mecca because even outside of

00:16:54.000 –> 00:16:54.000

Ricky,

00:16:55.000 –> 00:16:57.000

Champions tour player and PJ Tour winner Tom

00:16:57.000 –> 00:17:00.000

Pernice Junior. No. He was there. Yeah.

00:17:01.000 –> 00:17:03.000

They moved to California because Brooke, his youngest

00:17:03.000 –> 00:17:04.000

daughter,

00:17:04.000 –> 00:17:07.000

was blind, and there’s a really good acupuncturist

00:17:08.000 –> 00:17:10.000

in Southern California. So Tom moved from

00:17:11.000 –> 00:17:13.000

Kansas City up to Marietta. So when I

00:17:13.000 –> 00:17:14.000

was

00:17:15.000 –> 00:17:17.000

When I was growing up, I saw

00:17:17.000 –> 00:17:20.000

Tom when he was directly in the prime

00:17:20.000 –> 00:17:21.000

of his career on the PJ tour.

00:17:22.000 –> 00:17:24.000

And then I also saw Ricky when he

00:17:24.000 –> 00:17:25.000

was

00:17:26.000 –> 00:17:29.000

eighth grade, ninth grade, tenth grade when he

00:17:29.000 –> 00:17:32.000

was shooting these low sixty scores in these

00:17:32.000 –> 00:17:33.000

junior tournaments

00:17:33.000 –> 00:17:36.000

Gilliland amateur tournaments and everyone is just like

00:17:36.000 –> 00:17:36.000

like

00:17:37.000 –> 00:17:39.000

the next coming with Jesus. This dude. Yeah.

00:17:41.000 –> 00:17:44.000

And just we struck up a friendship and

00:17:44.000 –> 00:17:46.000

practice together every day and

00:17:46.000 –> 00:17:49.000

we play with Tom. So, I mean, that

00:17:49.000 –> 00:17:51.000

was pretty much we had one other, which

00:17:51.000 –> 00:17:52.000

were probably my brother, some of the other

00:17:52.000 –> 00:17:54.000

good juniors at the club. I mean, we

00:17:54.000 –> 00:17:56.000

had a competitive day,

00:17:57.000 –> 00:17:59.000

every single day we were together with

00:17:59.000 –> 00:18:01.000

a current PJ tour player,

00:18:01.000 –> 00:18:04.000

and then Ricky’s obviously well on his way

00:18:04.000 –> 00:18:05.000

to becoming a golf hall of famer.

00:18:06.000 –> 00:18:08.000

Yeah. And able to learn from people who

00:18:08.000 –> 00:18:10.000

are better than you.

00:18:11.000 –> 00:18:12.000

I think is

00:18:12.000 –> 00:18:14.000

massive, and that was the main that was

00:18:14.000 –> 00:18:16.000

the main reason why I picked Oklahoma State

00:18:16.000 –> 00:18:17.000

was

00:18:18.000 –> 00:18:21.000

I was gonna be a small fish

00:18:21.000 –> 00:18:23.000

in an extremely large pond.

00:18:24.000 –> 00:18:27.000

And I was there with Kevin Twain, Morgan

00:18:27.000 –> 00:18:29.000

Hoffman, Peter Ulyne,

00:18:29.000 –> 00:18:31.000

Taylor Gooch, Wyndham Clark,

00:18:32.000 –> 00:18:33.000

and we had to qualify every week. So

00:18:33.000 –> 00:18:35.000

I’m trying to figure out ways

00:18:36.000 –> 00:18:38.000

to beat these first team all Americans and

00:18:38.000 –> 00:18:39.000

if now

00:18:39.000 –> 00:18:41.000

US Open champion and live player of the

00:18:41.000 –> 00:18:42.000

year. And, I mean,

00:18:43.000 –> 00:18:46.000

so just kind of picking choosing from kinda

00:18:46.000 –> 00:18:48.000

each player and kinda molding your own and

00:18:48.000 –> 00:18:49.000

trying to figure out how to win is

00:18:49.000 –> 00:18:52.000

extremely valuable, I think, in my opinion.

00:18:53.000 –> 00:18:54.000

Well, I put you on the spot earlier,

00:18:54.000 –> 00:18:56.000

so I can’t do it, twice. But, man,

00:18:56.000 –> 00:18:59.000

imagine if you had to pick Wyndham Clark,

00:18:59.000 –> 00:19:00.000

winning the US Open

00:19:00.000 –> 00:19:03.000

or Taylor Guch winning, you know, Catrillion dollars

00:19:03.000 –> 00:19:06.000

in the live tour of the year. Right?

00:19:06.000 –> 00:19:07.000

That’s

00:19:07.000 –> 00:19:09.000

a that’s a hell of a year for

00:19:09.000 –> 00:19:10.000

two of your buddies.

00:19:10.000 –> 00:19:13.000

Yep. And then, I mean, obviously, Victor, with

00:19:13.000 –> 00:19:13.000

the,

00:19:14.000 –> 00:19:15.000

yeah,

00:19:15.000 –> 00:19:16.000

up and

00:19:17.000 –> 00:19:19.000

pretty cool. We walked into we had a

00:19:19.000 –> 00:19:22.000

tournament up at Oaktree National, little pro scratch

00:19:22.000 –> 00:19:25.000

in Edmund, Oklahoma about three weeks ago, and

00:19:25.000 –> 00:19:28.000

you walk into the pro shop and You

00:19:28.000 –> 00:19:30.000

got the FedEx cut trophy on one side.

00:19:30.000 –> 00:19:31.000

You got to live

00:19:31.000 –> 00:19:33.000

golf trophy on the other side because Victor

00:19:33.000 –> 00:19:36.000

and Taylor both play out at Oaktree National.

00:19:36.000 –> 00:19:36.000

So it was

00:19:38.000 –> 00:19:39.000

were they there?

00:19:40.000 –> 00:19:43.000

Victor was. Yeah. Taylor went out I’ll be

00:19:43.000 –> 00:19:45.000

there. Yeah. Yeah. Victor had a hell of

00:19:45.000 –> 00:19:48.000

a year, man. That’s awesome. So talk about,

00:19:49.000 –> 00:19:50.000

you know, walking in that locker room, man.

00:19:50.000 –> 00:19:52.000

So you’re you’re going in basically a month

00:19:52.000 –> 00:19:55.000

from now, you’re gonna walk in and and,

00:19:55.000 –> 00:19:56.000

you know, it’s pretty cool as the guy’s

00:19:56.000 –> 00:19:59.000

following golf, Tiger playing today and teeing it

00:19:59.000 –> 00:20:00.000

I think I I looked. He was plus

00:20:00.000 –> 00:20:02.000

three through seventeen when we’re right before we

00:20:02.000 –> 00:20:05.000

started recording. So he’s right there. He’s five

00:20:05.000 –> 00:20:07.000

or six back, I think, or seven back.

00:20:07.000 –> 00:20:09.000

But cool. See him back out there. But

00:20:09.000 –> 00:20:10.000

But walk through and I know you played

00:20:10.000 –> 00:20:11.000

in p g a two or events, so

00:20:11.000 –> 00:20:13.000

maybe it’ll be different for you now. But

00:20:13.000 –> 00:20:15.000

as a p g a two or pro,

00:20:15.000 –> 00:20:17.000

walking into there, into that locker room, man.

00:20:17.000 –> 00:20:20.000

What’s that gonna be like for you and,

00:20:20.000 –> 00:20:21.000

and how do you keep your game face

00:20:21.000 –> 00:20:22.000

on?

00:20:22.000 –> 00:20:23.000

Yeah.

00:20:23.000 –> 00:20:26.000

I mean, it’s almost since the season’s been

00:20:26.000 –> 00:20:28.000

over, it’s almost been a sense of relief

00:20:29.000 –> 00:20:30.000

just because

00:20:30.000 –> 00:20:33.000

I mean, this journey’s been so long and

00:20:33.000 –> 00:20:35.000

you never know if you’re ever if you’re

00:20:35.000 –> 00:20:36.000

ever gonna get there. I mean, you can

00:20:36.000 –> 00:20:38.000

do all the right stuff and

00:20:38.000 –> 00:20:40.000

It just sometimes it’s just not in the

00:20:40.000 –> 00:20:41.000

cards. And so I think kinda getting over

00:20:41.000 –> 00:20:41.000

the hump

00:20:42.000 –> 00:20:42.000

of

00:20:47.000 –> 00:20:49.000

getting that to her card has been a

00:20:49.000 –> 00:20:51.000

massive sensor relief and I’m gonna go in

00:20:51.000 –> 00:20:53.000

there and I’m gonna enjoy every

00:20:54.000 –> 00:20:55.000

single

00:20:55.000 –> 00:20:57.000

week and every tournament. And

00:20:58.000 –> 00:21:00.000

I’m just I’m really trying to

00:21:01.000 –> 00:21:03.000

tell myself and remind myself to enjoy it

00:21:03.000 –> 00:21:05.000

because I know it’s gonna the year is

00:21:05.000 –> 00:21:06.000

gonna go fast.

00:21:07.000 –> 00:21:09.000

I mean, nothing’s guaranteed. I mean,

00:21:10.000 –> 00:21:11.000

I could play one year. I could play

00:21:12.000 –> 00:21:15.000

twenty five years. Yeah. So I’m just gonna

00:21:15.000 –> 00:21:15.000

try to be as present as

00:21:17.000 –> 00:21:18.000

possible.

00:21:18.000 –> 00:21:20.000

I know that good golf is gonna take

00:21:20.000 –> 00:21:21.000

care of itself,

00:21:21.000 –> 00:21:24.000

and I don’t need to try and change

00:21:24.000 –> 00:21:26.000

my game to

00:21:26.000 –> 00:21:28.000

fit the PJ tour and try to

00:21:29.000 –> 00:21:31.000

be someone else’s game or anything like that.

00:21:31.000 –> 00:21:33.000

And I might genuinely know if I go

00:21:33.000 –> 00:21:35.000

and I play good golf, then gonna plan

00:21:35.000 –> 00:21:37.000

on that tour for a very, very long

00:21:37.000 –> 00:21:39.000

time. Love it. Because you gotta be in

00:21:39.000 –> 00:21:41.000

the, what, top 01:50 to keep the card?

00:21:42.000 –> 00:21:43.000

Top 01:25.

00:21:43.000 –> 00:21:46.000

That 01:25. Okay. Yeah. 01:26

00:21:46.000 –> 00:21:47.000

to 01:50

00:21:47.000 –> 00:21:50.000

is still pretty much like a full card.

00:21:50.000 –> 00:21:51.000

Okay.

00:21:52.000 –> 00:21:53.000

I’ll just get to play. Do you get

00:21:53.000 –> 00:21:54.000

to play in all the tournaments this year

00:21:54.000 –> 00:21:56.000

other than, like, say, the masters, things you

00:21:56.000 –> 00:21:58.000

gotta qualify for, but do you get to

00:21:58.000 –> 00:21:59.000

play in most of the tournaments?

00:22:00.000 –> 00:22:03.000

Most of them. And then they have they

00:22:03.000 –> 00:22:06.000

have including the four majors. They have those

00:22:06.000 –> 00:22:07.000

signature events that they’re calling.

00:22:08.000 –> 00:22:11.000

Where they’ve kinda created their own it’s like

00:22:11.000 –> 00:22:13.000

sixty or seventy man fields.

00:22:14.000 –> 00:22:16.000

No cut kind of deal. You can play

00:22:16.000 –> 00:22:18.000

your way into those throughout the season. Okay.

00:22:18.000 –> 00:22:21.000

And then obviously you can qualify for

00:22:21.000 –> 00:22:23.000

US Open Brett Gilliland

00:22:24.000 –> 00:22:25.000

stuff like that. So, I mean, I’ll probably

00:22:26.000 –> 00:22:27.000

if I had to guess

00:22:27.000 –> 00:22:30.000

low twenties and mid twenties of full season.

00:22:30.000 –> 00:22:33.000

Yeah. Awesome. So, I know these guys will

00:22:33.000 –> 00:22:35.000

be listening to this. So we’re gonna have

00:22:35.000 –> 00:22:36.000

a little fun, and we’re gonna talk about

00:22:36.000 –> 00:22:38.000

what the amateur golfer can do. So I

00:22:38.000 –> 00:22:40.000

I these are two brothers, Mikey and Timmy

00:22:40.000 –> 00:22:40.000

Rai.

00:22:41.000 –> 00:22:43.000

And, you know, I’m gonna just I’m gonna

00:22:43.000 –> 00:22:44.000

take a lot of their money this summer

00:22:44.000 –> 00:22:46.000

coming up here in two thousand twenty four.

00:22:46.000 –> 00:22:48.000

So what do I need to do as

00:22:48.000 –> 00:22:49.000

a guy? Listen to this right now or

00:22:49.000 –> 00:22:51.000

gal? Listen to this. It’s Gulf or what

00:22:51.000 –> 00:22:52.000

I need to do this season to be

00:22:52.000 –> 00:22:54.000

ready for Gilliland then, how do I get

00:22:54.000 –> 00:22:56.000

better throughout the year?

00:22:57.000 –> 00:22:58.000

So

00:22:59.000 –> 00:23:02.000

to be ready, I mean, you need to

00:23:02.000 –> 00:23:04.000

have a small list of just your daily

00:23:04.000 –> 00:23:06.000

fundamentals Gilliland those should not change.

00:23:08.000 –> 00:23:10.000

They shouldn’t change over the entire year.

00:23:11.000 –> 00:23:11.000

Because

00:23:12.000 –> 00:23:15.000

to stay working on them and

00:23:15.000 –> 00:23:17.000

one percent each day, you’ll just kinda get

00:23:17.000 –> 00:23:20.000

better, better, better. And then within a year,

00:23:20.000 –> 00:23:21.000

then you can kinda reevaluate.

00:23:22.000 –> 00:23:24.000

Yep. Next is And when those things, are

00:23:24.000 –> 00:23:26.000

you talking about, like, working on chipping, working

00:23:26.000 –> 00:23:27.000

on putting, or is this more of, exercise

00:23:28.000 –> 00:23:29.000

type of stuff. Because, obviously, it’s cold here.

00:23:29.000 –> 00:23:31.000

We can’t play that much golf.

00:23:31.000 –> 00:23:33.000

Yeah. I mean, you know,

00:23:33.000 –> 00:23:34.000

do some indoor stuff.

00:23:35.000 –> 00:23:36.000

Regarding golf.

00:23:36.000 –> 00:23:38.000

If there’s, like, a pattern you wanna change,

00:23:38.000 –> 00:23:40.000

if you’re too steep, too shallow,

00:23:41.000 –> 00:23:44.000

just kinda work on those. And then

00:23:44.000 –> 00:23:46.000

you gotta figure out because that’s only one

00:23:46.000 –> 00:23:48.000

third of the whole puzzle.

00:23:49.000 –> 00:23:51.000

I mean, the other one, you gotta know

00:23:51.000 –> 00:23:53.000

how to hit shots. So I mean,

00:23:54.000 –> 00:23:55.000

that’s why you’ll see

00:23:56.000 –> 00:23:58.000

some guys with terrible golf swings,

00:23:58.000 –> 00:24:01.000

beat guys with perfect golf swings, just because

00:24:01.000 –> 00:24:02.000

they know how to play the game of

00:24:02.000 –> 00:24:03.000

golf better.

00:24:04.000 –> 00:24:07.000

And, I mean, that’s just as important as

00:24:07.000 –> 00:24:10.000

having the perfect wrist angle or whatever the

00:24:10.000 –> 00:24:12.000

this fat is on

00:24:12.000 –> 00:24:15.000

social media. I mean, if you can sit

00:24:15.000 –> 00:24:16.000

up there and hit a draw against a

00:24:16.000 –> 00:24:18.000

left to right wing to a left pin

00:24:18.000 –> 00:24:20.000

and then the next hole hit a fade

00:24:20.000 –> 00:24:22.000

to a right pin with a right crosswind.

00:24:23.000 –> 00:24:25.000

That’s gonna pay dividends compared to

00:24:25.000 –> 00:24:27.000

video your swing and trying to have it

00:24:27.000 –> 00:24:28.000

look

00:24:28.000 –> 00:24:30.000

So how do you do that Kevin, like,

00:24:30.000 –> 00:24:32.000

right? So let’s say, I mean, to the

00:24:32.000 –> 00:24:34.000

to the ten handicap guy or the fifteen

00:24:34.000 –> 00:24:36.000

handicap guy that probably can’t do that,

00:24:37.000 –> 00:24:38.000

How do you recommend that? We just, obviously,

00:24:38.000 –> 00:24:40.000

gotta learn it, gotta watch videos, gotta get

00:24:40.000 –> 00:24:42.000

with somebody, learn it, and then just edit

00:24:42.000 –> 00:24:44.000

copy, edit paste five thousand times.

00:24:44.000 –> 00:24:45.000

Yeah. You just kinda gotta

00:24:46.000 –> 00:24:48.000

experiment a little bit. I mean, when you

00:24:48.000 –> 00:24:49.000

do have that time to go to the

00:24:49.000 –> 00:24:51.000

range, I mean, try to make it fun.

00:24:51.000 –> 00:24:52.000

I mean, don’t

00:24:52.000 –> 00:24:55.000

don’t hit seven iron twenty five times at

00:24:55.000 –> 00:24:55.000

the same

00:24:56.000 –> 00:24:57.000

at the same flag on the range. I

00:24:57.000 –> 00:25:00.000

mean, hit a cut six to it and

00:25:00.000 –> 00:25:02.000

then grab your eight and try to hook

00:25:02.000 –> 00:25:03.000

the eight out. I don’t care if it

00:25:03.000 –> 00:25:03.000

hooks

00:25:04.000 –> 00:25:06.000

fifty yards, but just try to figure out

00:25:06.000 –> 00:25:07.000

how to play golf and then go to

00:25:07.000 –> 00:25:10.000

a different flag. And, I mean, I would

00:25:10.000 –> 00:25:10.000

challenge

00:25:11.000 –> 00:25:12.000

anyone to

00:25:12.000 –> 00:25:15.000

not hit the same club twice to the

00:25:15.000 –> 00:25:15.000

same target

00:25:16.000 –> 00:25:18.000

during a practice session. And I bet I

00:25:18.000 –> 00:25:19.000

bet their golf would get so much better.

00:25:21.000 –> 00:25:23.000

I love that. That’s awesome. Then what do

00:25:23.000 –> 00:25:25.000

you got? What advice you got for me?

00:25:25.000 –> 00:25:26.000

It’d be a better putter.

00:25:26.000 –> 00:25:28.000

Better putter. Well,

00:25:28.000 –> 00:25:30.000

do you have bad speed?

00:25:30.000 –> 00:25:32.000

Or is it more No. I’m I’m good

00:25:32.000 –> 00:25:34.000

lagging wise. It’s just, you know, that eight

00:25:34.000 –> 00:25:36.000

foot putt, that that ten foot putt, I

00:25:36.000 –> 00:25:38.000

miss, you know, probably. Well, I problem is

00:25:38.000 –> 00:25:40.000

I probably think I may I should make

00:25:40.000 –> 00:25:41.000

every one of them. In reality, I’d probably

00:25:41.000 –> 00:25:43.000

make about thirty percent of them. Right? But

00:25:43.000 –> 00:25:45.000

I but it seems like that’s my game.

00:25:45.000 –> 00:25:47.000

And I’m solid from t to green, and

00:25:47.000 –> 00:25:48.000

then I, you know, I can’t hit Brad

00:25:48.000 –> 00:25:49.000

said I have a bar and when it

00:25:49.000 –> 00:25:51.000

I just I don’t read putts very well.

00:25:51.000 –> 00:25:52.000

Yeah. So,

00:25:52.000 –> 00:25:54.000

I mean, I have a daily,

00:25:55.000 –> 00:25:58.000

daily putting, green reading drill that I think

00:25:58.000 –> 00:26:01.000

is incredible, and it’s very simple. So all

00:26:01.000 –> 00:26:02.000

you need is two dimes

00:26:03.000 –> 00:26:05.000

and pretty much as Sharpie. So

00:26:06.000 –> 00:26:08.000

same thing. Random. We’re only gonna hit one

00:26:08.000 –> 00:26:10.000

putt from the same spot and

00:26:10.000 –> 00:26:12.000

for example, say you’re ten feet on the

00:26:12.000 –> 00:26:13.000

putting green. Yeah.

00:26:14.000 –> 00:26:16.000

All down. Just put a little black dot

00:26:16.000 –> 00:26:18.000

behind the hole to mark your spot.

00:26:18.000 –> 00:26:20.000

Get behind it. However, you need to read

00:26:20.000 –> 00:26:22.000

it. However, you do it on the course.

00:26:22.000 –> 00:26:24.000

Do that. Put the black dot behind the

00:26:24.000 –> 00:26:25.000

ball or behind the hole?

00:26:25.000 –> 00:26:29.000

Behind the ball. Okay. Yep. Just so after

00:26:29.000 –> 00:26:31.000

you hit your putt, you don’t lose your

00:26:31.000 –> 00:26:31.000

spot.

00:26:32.000 –> 00:26:32.000

Got it.

00:26:33.000 –> 00:26:34.000

So then, however, you need to read the

00:26:34.000 –> 00:26:36.000

green, read it, and then

00:26:36.000 –> 00:26:38.000

about halfway between

00:26:38.000 –> 00:26:40.000

you and the hold. Take your two dimes

00:26:40.000 –> 00:26:43.000

about a putter head width apart. And

00:26:44.000 –> 00:26:46.000

wherever you think the ball needs to roll,

00:26:47.000 –> 00:26:48.000

just put it right there in the center

00:26:48.000 –> 00:26:51.000

with the two dimes on the side and

00:26:51.000 –> 00:26:53.000

go back to your black dot and then

00:26:53.000 –> 00:26:55.000

if you roll it through the dimes with

00:26:55.000 –> 00:26:56.000

good speed,

00:26:57.000 –> 00:26:59.000

it should go in with a good read.

00:27:00.000 –> 00:27:02.000

So you roll it through the dimes and

00:27:02.000 –> 00:27:03.000

it misses, then you know

00:27:04.000 –> 00:27:05.000

that it’s a bad read. So now you’re

00:27:05.000 –> 00:27:07.000

constantly working on green reading. So if you

00:27:07.000 –> 00:27:08.000

were to do that,

00:27:09.000 –> 00:27:11.000

nine holes a day, nine different putts uphill

00:27:11.000 –> 00:27:14.000

right to left, downhill left to right,

00:27:14.000 –> 00:27:17.000

all different distances. I mean, it’s impossible not

00:27:17.000 –> 00:27:18.000

to get better at Green Reading.

00:27:19.000 –> 00:27:21.000

Maybe I just edit edit this part out

00:27:21.000 –> 00:27:23.000

and don’t let Nike and Timmy and all

00:27:23.000 –> 00:27:25.000

my buddies hear this. Is that Yeah. No.

00:27:25.000 –> 00:27:26.000

We’ll let it go. We’ll let it go.

00:27:27.000 –> 00:27:28.000

I think that’d be good.

00:27:28.000 –> 00:27:29.000

I mean, I

00:27:30.000 –> 00:27:32.000

I understand too. I mean, it’s tough for

00:27:32.000 –> 00:27:35.000

it’s tough for guys that are getting out

00:27:35.000 –> 00:27:37.000

of the house once or twice a week

00:27:37.000 –> 00:27:38.000

and Yeah.

00:27:38.000 –> 00:27:39.000

Go up.

00:27:39.000 –> 00:27:41.000

I mean, you show up thirty five, forty

00:27:41.000 –> 00
