Benchmark Tracking Overview

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.120
All right, golfers, welcome to the GSA system where we're going to talk about

2
00:00:08.120 --> 00:00:09.200
using benchmarks

3
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:12.160
to help prioritize what you need to work on.

4
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.400
Part of being your own best golf coach is figuring out or assessing your game

5
00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:16.640
to figure

6
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:19.320
out how to spend your time and what you need to work on.

7
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.280
We're going to use benchmarks to largely drive that process.

8
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:29.560
So remember, this is one of the big steps in becoming your own best golf coach.

9
00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:34.100
The basic GSA strategy is we're going to play golf.

10
00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:38.580
And when we play golf, we're going to keep some rough stats or at least an idea

11
00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:39.000
as far

12
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.800
as how we're doing on four key scoring skills.

13
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:49.330
We're going to identify which of the benchmarks or which of these scoring

14
00:00:49.330 --> 00:00:50.320
skills we're struggling

15
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.680
with the most.

16
00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:57.270
And then we're going to use feedback, either ground contact and ball flight or

17
00:00:57.270 --> 00:00:58.040
video.

18
00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:03.280
You will probably have to use some video to help diagnose a key issue that is

19
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:03.960
causing

20
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.300
your benchmark to be poor.

21
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:09.830
So let's say, for example, you need to work on putting, you're missing a lot of

22
00:01:09.830 --> 00:01:10.240
short

23
00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:14.480
putts, you tell, you can tell by the feedback that you're missing them both

24
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:15.440
left and right.

25
00:01:15.440 --> 00:01:18.770
So then you put it on video and you see that your lower body is moving a lot

26
00:01:18.770 --> 00:01:19.440
and you have

27
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:23.400
a big kind of arm scoop on the way through.

28
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.400
Then, okay, we've identified an issue, I'm going to maybe do an alignment thing

29
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:29.920
and work

30
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.360
on my lower body stability.

31
00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:35.400
So I'm going to do some drills to train my pattern.

32
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.600
Then when I play, I'll be able to track and make sure that the benchmarks have

33
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:39.040
actually

34
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.800
gotten better.

35
00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:44.570
As I do this, I won't have to do as many drills because I'll have a field

36
00:01:44.570 --> 00:01:45.240
library of

37
00:01:45.240 --> 00:01:48.520
my swing keys.

38
00:01:48.520 --> 00:01:51.980
One of my favorite quotes was from Jack Nicholas, he said, "Most golfers have

39
00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:52.800
three to five

40
00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:56.640
swing keys that they have to monitor to play their best."

41
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.850
And so I think for each shot, like in that particular scenario, maybe you have

42
00:02:00.850 --> 00:02:01.280
a lower

43
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.520
body swing key where my lower body stays still and you have a shoulder swing

44
00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:06.240
key, maybe like

45
00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:09.680
a chopstick drill to feel your arms connected a little bit better.

46
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.220
So you'd have a couple keys that would, those would be the repeatable things

47
00:02:15.220 --> 00:02:16.080
you'd go back

48
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.970
to and you'd take it to the course and we just go through the cycle until we

49
00:02:19.970 --> 00:02:20.440
get our

50
00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:23.560
benchmarks or our performance as low as we can.

51
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.640
All right, let's investigate those three real quick.

52
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:31.840
So we can break down play golf into our four core scoring skills.

53
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.530
You've got your T shots, you've got your iron shots or your approach shots, you

54
00:02:36.530 --> 00:02:37.120
've got your

55
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.560
wedge play and you've got your putting.

56
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.990
With the iron shots or the approach shots, depending on how far you hit it, we

57
00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:43.520
're going

58
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.200
to include hybrids and three woods, it's basically a full swing when the ball

59
00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:48.840
is on the ground.

60
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.230
Now Mark Brody in his book showed that the skill difference between, like let's

61
00:02:54.230 --> 00:02:54.720
say we

62
00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:59.050
were going to take two golfers, one who shoots about 100, one who shoots about

63
00:02:59.050 --> 00:02:59.680
80.

64
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.260
About two thirds of the actual difference in their scoring ability will usually

65
00:03:04.260 --> 00:03:05.600
come from

66
00:03:05.600 --> 00:03:07.200
the full swing.

67
00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:11.430
About 40% is going to come from the approach shots or the shots when the ball

68
00:03:11.430 --> 00:03:11.840
is on the

69
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.120
ground and about 28% is going to come from driving.

70
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:20.880
So if you are limited on time, working on your iron play, solid contact and

71
00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:21.800
controlling

72
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:26.040
distance and direction is going to have one of the biggest impacts on your

73
00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:27.840
overall scoring.

74
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.640
But there is still a third of the difference that comes from short game and

75
00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:32.440
that's about

76
00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:38.360
evenly distributed between your wedge shots inside 100 yards and your putting.

77
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.110
Now I should say if you are terrible at one skill, like maybe you four put

78
00:03:42.110 --> 00:03:42.880
every single

79
00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:48.420
green, then you're not the normal and you want to put a lot of emphasis in your

80
00:03:48.420 --> 00:03:49.040
putting

81
00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:52.040
until you get it more within the range.

82
00:03:52.040 --> 00:03:55.060
So you might be wondering to yourself what's in the range, that's what we're

83
00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:55.720
going to cover

84
00:03:55.720 --> 00:04:00.360
with these benchmarks.

85
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.200
So here are the simple stats for playing golf.

86
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:06.000
And I've got four different categories for us.

87
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:11.210
We've got golfer shoots about 100, golfer shoots about 90, golfer shoots about

88
00:04:11.210 --> 00:04:11.720
80 and

89
00:04:11.720 --> 00:04:13.720
then pro benchmark.

90
00:04:13.720 --> 00:04:17.270
I want you to choose the benchmark that's a little bit better than where you're

91
00:04:17.270 --> 00:04:17.680
at.

92
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.880
So if you're currently shooting 110, I want you to pick the 100.

93
00:04:21.880 --> 00:04:24.960
If you're currently shooting around 80, I want you to pick the Tour Pro.

94
00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:28.580
So you're always going to pick a benchmark a little bit better than where you

95
00:04:28.580 --> 00:04:29.160
're at.

96
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.800
If you're towards the higher handicap level or more of a beginner, then just

97
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:34.640
worry about

98
00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:36.240
the bold categories.

99
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:41.600
And just keep track of fairways, greens of regulation, up and down, putts and

100
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.400
these awful

101
00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:45.640
shots or really bad shots.

102
00:04:45.640 --> 00:04:50.940
Now what we'll see and what I'll quickly discuss is there are limitations to

103
00:04:50.940 --> 00:04:51.440
these

104
00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:53.880
different bold categories.

105
00:04:53.880 --> 00:04:58.200
And so in the subsequent videos in this course, we're going to break down into

106
00:04:58.200 --> 00:04:58.880
what I think

107
00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:02.440
are better stats to keep track of.

108
00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:07.880
But as a really quick, rough ball part, these are easy ones to track and they

109
00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:08.760
are useful

110
00:05:08.760 --> 00:05:09.840
enough.

111
00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:15.950
So you'll see that if we take driving distance, you'll see that typically to

112
00:05:15.950 --> 00:05:17.280
become a better

113
00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:21.200
golfer, you're going to have to hit the ball a little bit further.

114
00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:23.760
In some cases, a lot further.

115
00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:28.000
And so as a result, if you hit it shorter off the tee, it's easier to hit more

116
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:28.640
fairways.

117
00:05:28.640 --> 00:05:31.440
We'll look at that in the driving stats program.

118
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:37.180
But basically, there are typically in a golf course, four par-3s and then 14,

119
00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:38.360
either par-4s

120
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.040
or par-5s.

121
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:46.480
At minimum, to shoot about 100, you're going to have to hit about half of them.

122
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.480
You'll see it only goes up from there.

123
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:52.980
Now greens of regulation is on a par-3, if you hit it on the green for your

124
00:05:52.980 --> 00:05:53.920
first shot,

125
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.440
so you have a putt at birdie.

126
00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:58.870
On the par-4, if you hit it on your second shot, on a par-5, if you hit it on

127
00:05:58.870 --> 00:05:59.480
your third

128
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:00.480
shot.

129
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.440
It's basically having a birdie putt.

130
00:06:02.440 --> 00:06:06.950
You'll see that to shoot 100, you're only going to hit maybe two greens of

131
00:06:06.950 --> 00:06:07.960
regulation.

132
00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:10.120
To shoot 90, you only double that.

133
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:15.360
It starts to go up exponentially as you get closer and closer to pro-level.

134
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:21.850
So greens of regulation is a really good indicator because it builds in how

135
00:06:21.850 --> 00:06:23.040
well you hit it off

136
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.040
the tee.

137
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.400
If you're driving it in trouble, you're going to have a hard time hitting the

138
00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:28.000
greens.

139
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.060
Or if you're driving it in the fairway, but you're really short, you're going

140
00:06:31.060 --> 00:06:31.440
to have

141
00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:36.480
a hard time hitting greens with fairway woods and hybrids and things like that.

142
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.970
Now the green of regulation plus one, that's a Mark Brody's stat as well, which

143
00:06:39.970 --> 00:06:40.640
is basically

144
00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:43.840
looking at one over green of regulation.

145
00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:46.040
Or do I have a par-putt?

146
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:51.250
So to shoot 100, you're going to have to have about a par-putt on half of the

147
00:06:51.250 --> 00:06:51.840
holes.

148
00:06:51.840 --> 00:06:56.360
So that lends itself to, you can't have too many really bad shots, but you can

149
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:56.720
have a

150
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.560
bunch of average shots and still hit that goal.

151
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.500
When you get down to pro, they're basically having a par-putt on every single

152
00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:05.040
hole.

153
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.280
And to shoot 80, you can only have a couple holes where you don't have a par-

154
00:07:09.280 --> 00:07:09.800
putt.

155
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.550
Basically, to get closer and closer to this high-level scoring, you're going to

156
00:07:13.550 --> 00:07:13.840
have

157
00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:19.670
to eliminate the really bad holes so that you at worst have bogeys and most of

158
00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:20.320
the time

159
00:07:20.320 --> 00:07:23.160
have your chance at saving par.

160
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:30.760
Now up and down percentage, we'll see quickly across the board, there are 18

161
00:07:30.760 --> 00:07:31.400
golf holes.

162
00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:37.020
So basically a hundred golfer is only going to get up and down about once,

163
00:07:37.020 --> 00:07:38.040
maybe twice

164
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:43.460
when we get to the 90 golfer and then it starts going up to where pros are at

165
00:07:43.460 --> 00:07:45.240
about two-thirds.

166
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:50.400
Now you'll see they typically miss about six greens of regulation per round.

167
00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:54.640
So two-thirds, they'll usually get up and down about four out of those six

168
00:07:54.640 --> 00:07:55.760
opportunities.

169
00:07:55.760 --> 00:08:01.430
And then here we've got putts, you'll see general categories, it just gets a

170
00:08:01.430 --> 00:08:02.360
little bit

171
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.880
lower at each benchmark.

172
00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:08.820
Now the important thing is it's getting lower, but they're also hitting more

173
00:08:08.820 --> 00:08:09.440
greens.

174
00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:13.680
So I'll cover that here in a second, but why that's critical or important.

175
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.920
And then last is looking at awful shots.

176
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:18.600
In the video, we'll discuss awful shots.

177
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.970
They're basically shots where you don't gain anything, you whiff it, top it,

178
00:08:21.970 --> 00:08:22.520
hit it into

179
00:08:22.520 --> 00:08:23.520
a penalty.

180
00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:25.560
We'll go over all the different categories.

181
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:31.220
But basically you can't have, to shoot a hundred, you can have about ten awful

182
00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:31.720
shots.

183
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.560
And then as you start getting down closer to pro, it's less than one per round.

184
00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:43.740
So these are the ones that some golfers who are in the right ballpark with

185
00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:44.960
these, with

186
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.620
the majority of their categories, but their scores don't come down, they still

187
00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:47.960
have too

188
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.280
many awful shots.

189
00:08:49.280 --> 00:08:52.440
And those can either come from big technical errors or procedural errors.

190
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.880
We'll talk about that in that video.

191
00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:57.810
Now each of these has problems, which is why I like looking at some of these

192
00:08:57.810 --> 00:08:59.280
other benchmarks.

193
00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:04.180
For example, the fairway goal, perhaps you play a course where there's a bunch

194
00:09:04.180 --> 00:09:04.800
of holes

195
00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:09.570
where your ideal shot is actually going to be more towards one edge of the fair

196
00:09:09.570 --> 00:09:10.080
way.

197
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.240
And so you hit a bunch of average shots that finish in the rough.

198
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.860
Or greens and regulations, some golf courses can be very small, some golf

199
00:09:16.860 --> 00:09:17.680
courses can have

200
00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:19.600
really big greens.

201
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.640
So I grew up at a course that have really big greens.

202
00:09:21.640 --> 00:09:27.850
You could hit a lot of greens and have a bunch of 60 to 80 foot putts, where I

203
00:09:27.850 --> 00:09:28.760
played with

204
00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:31.600
a buddy of mine at a much smaller green golf course.

205
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.400
You typically wouldn't hit as many greens, you'd have a lot more chip shots.

206
00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:38.680
So those can be a little bit misleading as well.

207
00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:42.040
Up and down includes both a chip and a putt.

208
00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:45.960
So I could hit a really bad chip, duff it and make a long putt.

209
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.760
And that counts as a positive in my stats.

210
00:09:48.760 --> 00:09:52.680
Or I could hit a really good chip shot to three feet and miss the putt.

211
00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:53.960
And that would count as a negative.

212
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.840
So we're going to break this down into more wedge play versus putting.

213
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:02.280
And putting the total number of putts, in general, the more greens you miss,

214
00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:02.880
the more

215
00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:06.200
you'll be able to get it close with your third shot.

216
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:10.740
So your par putts could be a little bit easier, or you'll have more putts

217
00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:12.080
inside eight feet,

218
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.160
kind of makeable zone.

219
00:10:14.160 --> 00:10:19.980
So basically, I'd rather look at putts per distance or putts per green in

220
00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:21.300
regulation.

221
00:10:21.300 --> 00:10:24.960
So we'll talk about that when we look in the putting categories.

222
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:30.670
Now once you've identified an area you want to work on, then we have to

223
00:10:30.670 --> 00:10:31.960
diagnose a key

224
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:32.960
issue.

225
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.200
So let's say we're struggling with greens and regulation.

226
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.280
We are going to then look at, well, why am I struggling with greens and

227
00:10:39.280 --> 00:10:40.080
regulation?

228
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.360
We're going to analyze the feedback.

229
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.400
We're going to look at the swing on video.

230
00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:47.640
But to do that, we have to have kind of a model in our head.

231
00:10:47.640 --> 00:10:51.410
In general, we're going to start to impact and work backward, but in the how to

232
00:10:51.410 --> 00:10:51.880
analyze

233
00:10:51.880 --> 00:10:56.610
your swing program, we'll talk through the major keys, the quick bullet points

234
00:10:56.610 --> 00:10:57.000
of how

235
00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.720
you can identify what's going on.

236
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.000
But let's say we're just looking at impact.

237
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:06.640
I'll give you a couple of keys for why you might be struggling with impact.

238
00:11:06.640 --> 00:11:09.270
Let's say we're not hitting enough greens because we're hitting it, we're not

239
00:11:09.270 --> 00:11:09.640
hitting

240
00:11:09.640 --> 00:11:10.640
it solid.

241
00:11:10.640 --> 00:11:14.480
Well, we're going to quickly look at this impact line and see how many pieces

242
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:15.480
are behind this

243
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.880
line and impact.

244
00:11:16.880 --> 00:11:20.150
So let's say you get up here and you're kind of spinning back like this and

245
00:11:20.150 --> 00:11:21.120
then scooping.

246
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.320
So you hit a lot of fat thin shots and maybe even some top shots.

247
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:29.080
So that would be, okay, we got to identify an issue.

248
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:30.440
We got to get on to our left side.

249
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:32.860
There might be some other factors involved, but we got to get a little bit more

250
00:11:32.860 --> 00:11:33.200
on our

251
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.040
left side to get the low point ahead of the golf ball.

252
00:11:37.040 --> 00:11:38.360
Or we could be looking at direction.

253
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:42.360
I hit it pretty solid, but a lot of my shots go way off to the right.

254
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.960
I look at the video from the down the line and I can see that the club face is

255
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:46.360
really

256
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:47.360
open.

257
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:54.090
So we're going to use these checkpoints here to help us identify what's driving

258
00:11:54.090 --> 00:11:56.000
the performance.

259
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.410
And then in theory, or what I've seen in practice is if you improve what's

260
00:12:00.410 --> 00:12:01.920
driving the performance,

261
00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:04.040
the performance will improve.

262
00:12:04.040 --> 00:12:08.280
And I'm not going to make you just take my word for it as far as what the swing

263
00:12:08.280 --> 00:12:08.600
looks

264
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:09.600
like.

265
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.290
I'll have plenty of examples, most of them from John Michael Field's YouTube

266
00:12:13.290 --> 00:12:13.920
channel.

267
00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:17.200
He's a fan of the site and says we can use his videos.

268
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:21.440
He's got some great quality videos that you can look at if you're trying to

269
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:21.920
study some

270
00:12:21.920 --> 00:12:22.920
other golfers.

271
00:12:22.920 --> 00:12:26.460
But here we'll see a common trend of that impact line, a little variety

272
00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:27.240
depending on

273
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.240
clubs.

274
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.040
But this is one of the keys for solid iron contact.

275
00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:35.630
So if you remember nothing, just work on looking more like that and you will

276
00:12:35.630 --> 00:12:36.800
hit the ball much

277
00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:39.080
better.

278
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.080
Step three is once we've identified what we need to work on, like let's say we

279
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:42.400
need

280
00:12:42.400 --> 00:12:46.330
to get more into that left side, we're going to do some drills and the drills

281
00:12:46.330 --> 00:12:46.920
are going

282
00:12:46.920 --> 00:12:50.100
to help you build some fields and those fields are going to be what you use

283
00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:50.720
when you get

284
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.360
on the course.

285
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.650
So it could be drills, it could be swing thoughts, but we're going to use our

286
00:12:56.650 --> 00:12:57.320
stats.

287
00:12:57.320 --> 00:13:00.070
We're going to use our feedback and we're going to use our video to monitor and

288
00:13:00.070 --> 00:13:00.320
make

289
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.360
sure that we're improving.

290
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.600
When you use the benchmarks and when you use the video to kind of track your

291
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:08.100
game, it makes

292
00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:13.720
both of us accountable for actually improving and improving in golf is one of

293
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:14.560
the rich and

294
00:13:14.560 --> 00:13:20.140
rewarding aspects to those who are putting in enough time to who want to get

295
00:13:20.140 --> 00:13:20.960
better.

296
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.660
So we're going to experiment with different drills until we see the change we

297
00:13:23.660 --> 00:13:24.040
want and

298
00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:26.520
we're going to monitor that against the stats.

299
00:13:26.520 --> 00:13:28.720
That's the GSA system in a nutshell.

300
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.290
So in the rest of the videos, we are going to go through breaking down those

301
00:13:33.290 --> 00:13:33.960
four core

302
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:38.200
skills in more detail as well as the awful shots and then we'll have another

303
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:38.880
bonus video

304
00:13:38.880 --> 00:13:41.940
where we talk about getting ready for a tournament.

305
00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:46.350
So the benchmarks is going to be the barometer or the measuring stick to make

306
00:13:46.350 --> 00:13:47.120
sure that we're

307
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.960
actually getting better.

308
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:56.600
So this is one of the big first steps to becoming your own best golf coach.
