00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.080
this video is playing golf as a rhythm golfer so rhythm golfers are similar to

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.160
field golfers in that they experience a very rich environment inside of their

3
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:16.720
body however since field golfers are very much in tune with kind of muscles

4
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:21.000
and tensions and activations and that kind of stuff rhythm golfers are more

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.160
in tune with sequencing and pressures and and kind of where your weight is

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:30.440
similar to more of a dancer so a rhythm golfer is getting most of their

7
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.520
information from what's happening with the vestibular system and so what's

8
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.480
going on with the vestibular system is very common to those who practice dance

9
00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:44.530
so what you'll see with a rhythm golfer is that they when they're playing

10
00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:44.920
really

11
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.800
well they will tend to have this kind of constant rhythm that happens

12
00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:49.080
throughout

13
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:53.280
their game and it'll all start back here so if they're behind the golf ball

14
00:00:53.280 --> 00:01:00.240
you'll see a rhythm golfer where everything is kind of moving at a very

15
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:07.920
pronounced count so whether it's kind of a you know almost a one two three four

16
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.320
or whether it's a one and a two and a three and a four away they'll have this

17
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:19.040
own this this count that works for that but when they play well is when

18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.520
everything kind of moves off of that count you'll see them constantly fidgeting

19
00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:31.520
and wiggling and moving over the ball similar to say a Tom Watson or Jason

20
00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:38.880
Duffner or Sergio Garcia where you see them kind of moving moving and go what

21
00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:39.040
you

22
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:44.720
want to do is you want to establish your rhythm for the day and you want to

23
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:44.880
have

24
00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:49.620
everything work off of that rhythm so I've had golfers with kind of slow

25
00:01:49.620 --> 00:01:50.160
rhythms

26
00:01:50.160 --> 00:01:55.200
where basically they're counting in their head and basically every little thing

27
00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:02.920
has this kind of look to it boom where the field golfer is going to spend a lot

28
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:08.080
of the time over the golf ball kind of getting set a rhythm golfer really wants

29
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.760
to go on their count and they'll feel better when they go on their count and

30
00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:17.000
if they choose a count that tends to have the right amount of time built into

31
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:17.080
it

32
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.360
what I mean by that is some golfers who are rhythm golfers will tend to get

33
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.480
over the ball and kind of stay there for a long period of time Allah Sergio

34
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:28.000
Garcia

35
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.960
who who hadn't practiced or didn't have a good enough count to know exactly

36
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:35.120
when

37
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:40.480
to take the club back so he was kind of waiting until his body had this rhythm

38
00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:45.040
and he was waiting until everything lined up so he could start it on one pretty

39
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:49.600
much want to figure out what do you need to do to build one right how do I

40
00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:54.400
make sure that everything kind of starts on one so whether that's Lee

41
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.480
Trevino getting up there and in two beats getting ready to hit or it's Jason

42
00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:04.960
Duffner and he's kind of got a certain number of waggles two three and let's go

43
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:10.750
but rhythm golfers will tend to do well when they stay with their cap the

44
00:03:10.750 --> 00:03:11.080
rhythm

45
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.960
golfer is going to store stress when they feel like they've lost their count

46
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:20.140
and when they feel like they are either moving faster or slower so if I

47
00:03:20.140 --> 00:03:26.600
here in my head a beat of one two three four but I'm trying to kind of slow

48
00:03:26.600 --> 00:03:30.640
things down that's going to tend to build some tension in my body which is

49
00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:32.920
going to make it hard to repeat the swing that I've been practicing on the

50
00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:37.960
range without tension the other option is they're going to tend to get quicker

51
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:43.520
especially under pressure and so having this count that they hear in their head

52
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:50.000
or having these rhythms is going to provide that kind of inner clarity that

53
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.360
they need in order to process things well so when you're doing your drills

54
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.560
you want to focus on the sequencing and the relationships of movements more so

55
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:07.120
than the details of exactly where the positions are so instead of focusing on

56
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.520
kind of okay bending this wrist getting this elbow in front yes you're gonna

57
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.200
have to do that to work on technique but then what you need to do as a rhythm

58
00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:21.600
player is you're gonna say okay if that if I do those movements together where

59
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.520
does that change the waiting where does that change the pressure where does

60
00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:24.680
that

61
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:30.240
change this timing because as these timings change you're gonna find what is

62
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:35.280
kind of your perfect timing so you can use these drills to focus on some feels

63
00:04:35.280 --> 00:04:38.720
you can use these drills to get pictures of where the path is going but the

64
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:38.960
ones

65
00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:42.080
that are going to do the best for transferring practice are going to be

66
00:04:42.080 --> 00:04:47.360
the ones that help you feel your perfect sequencing and exactly when you need

67
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.880
to start your swing is going to be based on the count so when you're playing

68
00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:55.880
around with building your pre-shot routine you want to practice taking steps

69
00:04:55.880 --> 00:05:02.600
on count waggles on count rocking on count everything moving kind of on this

70
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.880
beat the more that you do that the more success you're going to tend to have

71
00:05:05.880 --> 00:05:09.520
transferring it from the range to the course
