00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.800
This golf course game is Odds and Evens. So Odds and Evens is a game that I

2
00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:05.120
played

3
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:10.080
a lot during high school and part of the reason was I lived about a mile and

4
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.680
a half away from the golf course and I had to walk to the golf course many

5
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:17.880
evenings or many afternoons. So Odds and Evens is basically you're going to

6
00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:18.160
take

7
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.560
out half of your bag. You're either going to play with odd numbers starting

8
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:22.720
with

9
00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:26.270
driver and working down or you're going to play with even numbers working

10
00:00:26.270 --> 00:00:26.600
starting

11
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.500
with your three wood and working down. So you're taking out half your bag. This

12
00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:30.680
will

13
00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:34.600
force you to hit a lot more partial shots and shape the ball to control

14
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.000
distance.

15
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.080
So this was a game that I played a lot in the off season. I think it really

16
00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:39.320
helps

17
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.000
you with your sequencing which is one of the biggest keys for hitting these

18
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.720
partial shots and it really helps you with thinking your way around the golf

19
00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:50.200
course. Not just getting up there hitting driver every time and then taking the

20
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:55.440
shortest club you think you can and swinging hard. So try it either playing

21
00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:00.000
against yourself or playing against the partner but for variety when you're

22
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.880
trying to figure out or when you're trying to work on a little bit more of

23
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:10.400
your shot shaping odds and evens can add a lot of variety to your normal course

24
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:10.400
