00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840
This course game is golf course coin flip. So golf course coin flip, similar to

2
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:05.940
the

3
00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:09.920
range coin flip, is basically I'm going to use the coin to challenge me on the

4
00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:14.640
golf course. So in this particular case, if I flip a heads, I'm going to have

5
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:14.760
to

6
00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:18.320
play a fade on every shot on this hole. If I flip the tails, I'm going to hit a

7
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.680
draw on every shot. We can also add, if I was to flip a heads, I'm going to hit

8
00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:24.720
a

9
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:28.640
high shot. If I hit a tails, I'm going to hit a low shot. It adds a little bit

10
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:28.720
of

11
00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:34.960
randomness to and a lot of course strategy to playing the round of golf.

12
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.640
Because there may be a hole where the pin is tucked left and I'm just going to

13
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.800
play for the center of the green because I didn't flip the right shot. What you

14
00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:43.840
'll

15
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.840
find is that sometimes you're going to play better, playing aggressively,

16
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:48.240
sometimes

17
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.040
you're going to play better, playing conservatively. But by focusing on a

18
00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:57.200
specific shot, it's really going to challenge you to get real specific with

19
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.040
your starting line, with your path, and with your intentions. So I highly

20
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:04.500
recommend it for adding a little bit of variety and randomness to your practice

21
00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:04.640
,

22
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.720
which will keep challenging you, which forces you to work on the process as

23
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:14.320
opposed to getting out there and just kind of being a robot.
