00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.120
This game is coin flip ladder, so we're going to use the coin to apply a little
2
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:05.340
bit of
3
00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:07.540
randomness to our practice.
4
00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:10.820
We're going to use the coin to adjust distances, so here I've got my 7 iron,
5
00:00:10.820 --> 00:00:11.560
let's say that
6
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.360
my stock 7 iron goes about 165.
7
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:17.860
Now I'm going to use the coin to adjust how far I'm going to hit the next one,
8
00:00:17.860 --> 00:00:18.240
or how
9
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:19.560
far I'm going to try.
10
00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:26.990
So let's say because 165 is my kind of full, I'm going to dial it back to 155
11
00:00:26.990 --> 00:00:27.800
as kind of
12
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.680
the midpoint for this game.
13
00:00:29.680 --> 00:00:34.290
I'm going to flip a coin, if it ends up heads, I'm going to add yardage, if it
14
00:00:34.290 --> 00:00:35.280
ends up tails
15
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.280
I'm going to subtract yardage, and I'm just going to repeat this 5 to 10 times
16
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:39.840
for each
17
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:41.000
club.
18
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.390
Now the more experience the golfer you are, the more advanced golfer you are,
19
00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:46.080
the smaller
20
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:47.680
you want to make the yardages.
21
00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:53.370
So if let's say I'm starting at 155, maybe a heads is only going to be worth 2
22
00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:54.160
yards.
23
00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:57.800
So I've got to get really good at making small adjustments by either choking up
24
00:00:57.800 --> 00:00:58.680
a little,
25
00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:02.960
dialing in my tempo, dialing in the distance of my swing, any of the above.
26
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.520
If I'm more of a novice golfer, that's going to be a little bit too challenging
27
00:01:06.520 --> 00:01:06.800
.
28
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:11.930
So I want to make larger gaps like 5 or even 10 yard gaps, where if I get heads
29
00:01:11.930 --> 00:01:12.760
I add 10,
30
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.760
if I get heads again I add 10 until I get to the point where I'm not going to
31
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:17.240
be able
32
00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:21.040
to hit it that far, so hopefully I get a tails, otherwise I'm just going to
33
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:21.840
stand there swinging
34
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.520
as hard as I can.
35
00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:28.000
So this is a great way to add some partial shots, this is a great way to work
36
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.760
on dialing
37
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:34.100
in your distance and making small adjustments to your stock's full swing to
38
00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:35.440
control distance
39
00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:36.400
with each club through your bag.
