00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.040
this video is playing golf as a visual golfer so visual golfers are fairly easy

2
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:10.040
they get all the information or the majority of their information for how

3
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:14.000
they're going to perform based on what's coming through their eyes so this can

4
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.120
be an advantage in some ways because if a visual golfer gets hurt they're not

5
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.080
going to be as self-aware and kind of have as many freak out moments to if

6
00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:27.320
that pain increases a little bit because they're more concerned with what's

7
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:32.800
going on with their eyes that being said architects can do things to try to

8
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:37.280
trick them which field golfers and rhythm golfers tend to not really worry too

9
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:43.160
much about so if you're building the pre-shot routine as a visual golfer so

10
00:00:43.160 --> 00:00:48.960
you kind of didn't like either of the stillness or the the constant motion

11
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.300
drill and when you close your eyes you could actually see a picture of the

12
00:00:53.300 --> 00:00:57.080
golf ball then what that means is that during your pre-shot routine you make

13
00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:00.920
you have to make sure you have a crystal clear image for what you're

14
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:05.900
trying to do now whether that image is like a target or a hula hoop that you're

15
00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:09.320
gonna hit the ball through whether it's a arc like a rainbow that the ball is

16
00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:15.000
gonna follow doesn't really matter whether it's a specific look to the path

17
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.800
of the club coming into the golf ball where if it's there I know I'm gonna hit

18
00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:24.120
it well if it's there I know I'm not you have to have crystal clear imagery so

19
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:30.240
I use the example of an HD television versus an old staticky you know

20
00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:34.320
rabbit ear television so you need to make sure that during your pre-shot

21
00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:39.280
routine you get a crystal clear image of the shot and you're gonna take your

22
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.600
backswing as soon as you have this perfect image this crystal clear image

23
00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:48.440
so you're gonna get set up in your alignment make sure that all your lines

24
00:01:48.440 --> 00:01:54.640
look good and then you're gonna stare at that target stare at that target just

25
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.520
glance back at the ball you're gonna stare at the target until you have a

26
00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:02.720
crystal clear image of exactly what the ball is gonna do and then when you come

27
00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:07.320
back you're just gonna go so a couple good examples of visual golfers would

28
00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:11.720
be someone like Rory McElroy someone like Tiger Woods someone like Jack

29
00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:17.520
Nicholas, Anika Sorenstam those were all pretty clear visual golfers

30
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.680
staying over the golf ball too long can be problems for a visual golfer because

31
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.320
you'll start to feel things and one of the other things that you'll tend to see

32
00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:32.200
is that when a visual golfer is playing his best golfer her best golf you're

33
00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:37.160
going to see almost a consistent time that they spend looking at the target so

34
00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:46.440
they're gonna have this pattern of okay got it one more good one got it go when

35
00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:50.600
they tend to play poorly is when they're gonna get under stress and they'll

36
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:53.800
stand over there and they'll just keep looking back almost like really quick

37
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.800
looks almost like my brain has forgotten where the target is and that's one of

38
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.280
the clear ways that you know that a visual golfer is kind of storing a bit

39
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.480
of stress and he's not quite he doesn't have a crystal clear picture so yes you

40
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:10.440
could potentially still hit an okay shot that way but as far as law of

41
00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:15.520
averages we want to make sure that we have a consistent look to taking this

42
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.360
picture of the target and then a consistent way of knowing that we're

43
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.160
ready and that we have this clear image that we're gonna use to trigger our

44
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:27.910
takeaway when you have those clear images that's gonna help you take it from

45
00:03:27.910 --> 00:03:28.040
the

46
00:03:28.040 --> 00:03:33.680
range to the course so when you're doing your drills you want to focus on lines

47
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:43.200
angles pictures so one of the examples would be if I'm doing the handle in the

48
00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.280
bucket drill the handle in the bucket drill could be a tempo drill it could be

49
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:52.800
feeling that club shallow during transition it could be a field drill

50
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.600
where I'm feeling the muscles in my hands into my shoulders or it could be a

51
00:03:57.600 --> 00:04:02.440
visual drill where I feel like I'm just pointing this generally out in that

52
00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:07.920
direction kind of like so as a visual golfer you want to focus more on where

53
00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:11.920
are these angles pointing more so than what you're feeling in your body when

54
00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:15.760
you have crystal clear imagery that's gonna tend to transfer these movements

55
00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:22.080
for you to the course better than if you develop fields or tempo
