00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
This video is two ball games. So there are three different games that I like to play

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
late in the evening where you're going to use two balls. So one is going to be two ball

00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
total. You can play that actually anytime when you're playing with somebody who's got

00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
kind of a similar skill level. The second one would be a two ball scramble and the third would

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:28,000
be a two ball reverse scramble or two ball worst ball. So the standard two ball total version

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
is basically you're just going to play two balls and you're going to take your human

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
of score. This will really force you to kind of grind on those bad holes because sometimes

00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
you'll have a birdie and a double and someone also make two cars and they're end up winning the

00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
hole. So it just focuses you to kind of work on the mental game and work on your patience.

00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Two ball scramble I love to do when I'm feeling a little bit let's say self-conscious about my game.

00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Like it's just not quite there. Two ball scramble can help me get over the hump and see

00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
what kind of really positive shots I can hit or how well I could score if I were to hit every shot

00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
really well. So in two ball scramble you're going to hit two shots choose the best one go to

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
there and hit two shots from there choose the best one until you finish the out each hole.

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Two ball reverse scramble or two ball worst ball is basically I'm going to hit two shots and

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
then I'm going to choose the worst one and I'm going to play it from there. So if I hit one drive

00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
320 down the middle and I hit another one 250 into the trees I got to go pick up that ball that's

00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,000
320 down the middle and put it right next to that ball with a one club of the ball that's in the trees.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
So it can really challenge you to grind it out because I'm going to tell you if you're playing

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,000
again somebody and you've got a puddle on the nine hole for from 15 feet and you know you got

00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
to make it twice in order to save part in order to beat this person it's going to put a lot of strain

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
and a lot of pressure on you. So reverse scramble is really good for seeing for testing yourself

00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and seeing how well you can score if you know on your worst days. Two ball scramble is good for

00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
building your confidence and showing you how good you could score on your best days and two ball

00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
total is just a great one for kind of getting in a lot of random practice on the golf course.

00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:24,000
So any any game with two balls is going to help you in my opinion. So try to work that into kind of a

00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,000
weekly practice or at least every other week. If you practice a fair amount of time it will really help

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
pay dividends when you're getting on the course under pressure.
