Speaker 1 (00:04):
The Director of Instruction reports your day Bobby signed Bobby
Steiner with a signed Bobby, good morning, Welcome back to
the Take Up seven to sixty Golf Show. How are you?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh great?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Thanks for having me back.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
David Pleaser, good to have you on. You're the official
director of Instruction. And as is the case whenever we
have our final segment of the Golf Show, it is
for the tip segment of the week. What tip do
you have for us?
Speaker 4 (00:25):
First of all, Bobby, Well, you know one thing that
I get asked a lot is I have this big
tournament coming up and it's you know, cramming for the test,
and you know it's.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
On Saturday, and this is Thursday, and I'm coming to
you for this lesson what can I do in preparation?
And so that's where I want to go And if
you'd like I can get into that, yes please. Yeah. So,
So the mistake people make when they're preparing for a
tournament or some special occasion is that they do something
that doesn't do anything other than promote more and more
(00:58):
mechanical thinking, which is to the detriment of the individual.
And so time, if you've got a limited amount of time,
the best thing to do is to chip and pott,
not just in any old way, but literally go out
in these two days that you have and spend your
time making one hundred four footers. Now here's the thing
about a four foot putt. If you make one hundred
(01:18):
four footers, you're going to find that you're going to
miss every other one for the first five or six.
But after that you're going to dial it in and
so the whole thing. It will take at the most
something like about twelve minutes. It's a very small investment
considering the reward. And then after that, whatever time you
have left, work with your chipper and your putter together,
because remembers, it is impossible to save shots with your driver.
(01:42):
The job of the drivers to keep you out of trouble.
In other words, the job of the driver is not
lose shots. The job of the chipper and the putter
is to actually help you save shots. Because every single
time you chip the ball within four feet and then
make the four footer, you saved the shot. If that
chip happens to go in, you save two. And so
my advice for anybody who really wants to maximize what's
(02:02):
coming up on the horizons don't don't worry with things
that are just gonna bring about more and more swing thoughts.
Leave your golf swing alone. It's good enough. Work on
your chipping and putty and there you will find the
most reward.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Bobby'steeners our guests. He's a director of instruction of Golf
Out and Beautiful Horseshoe Bay. Bobby, let's chat about that
evnue you have coming up on November fifteenth and sixteenth
with Rich Beam.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, he and I are teaching a two day golf
school and basically what that amounts do is he and
I will do three hours of instruction in the morning
and then followed by nine holes in the afternoon. Now
that's a two day school. And so when we do
nine holes and we take up to eight people, we've
got just one I think one place left for a twosome.
(02:47):
We've got six already. And then what we do is
on day one. So if you play with me on
day one, you'll play with Rich Beam on day two.
In other words, you'll play nine holes with each of
us in the afternoons. And so it's all about chipping, pitching, putty,
bunker play and full swing, full video analysis with track
man and all that, and not only will you get
to learn from a major champion, Rich Bean, but also
(03:09):
get to play nine holes with him, and so it's
really you know, I forget sometimes I think it's misleading
when you call both of us golf pros, because when
I watch rich hit that golf ball, it makes a
different sound than just about any any golf pro Mike caliber.
He really really is a good player, and it's clear
when you see him go that why it is that
he was able to win the PGA Championship and do
it so handily.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Bobby'steeners are I guess the director of instruction out at
horse Shoe Bay, Bobby, we have this big event coming
up on November seventh and eighth that is going to
be the twentieth I believe twentieth Annuel Winding and Jazz Festival.
I'll be out there m seeing that as I did
last year, was a great honor to be out there.
I'll be out there again on Friday night to basically
m see what the chefs have cooked up for everybody eating,
(03:50):
and then of course on Saturday, the jazz takes place
that afternoon out of the beautiful Horseshoe Bay. The website
is HSB Resort. I believe it is dot com for
information about that event, and I hope to see you
out there. Are we going to see you at the
dinner on Friday night?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Absolutely, I wouldn't miss it. I'll be there and I'll
look forward to seeing you there too. This is this
is my among my favorite events of the entire year.
I wouldn't miss it. I will forgo plans elsewhere because
it's a great.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Time, Bobby. You know, earlier I was talking with Brian Gathright,
one of the top instructors in the US, about being
starstruck and so forth. Has there been anybody in your
life since you've been in the golf and you know,
basically the golf industry. Is there somebody that you might
have met that may have made you feel somewhat starstruck?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Wow, Well, anytime you're having an opportunity to just sit
next to a tour player and have a conversation with
them while they're hitting golf balls, it's what, I don't
know if starstruck is the right word. After a while,
you sort of get used to the you know, I
feel good about this career that I've chosen and allows
me to spend time with a lot of the tour
(04:56):
players over the years. But one thing what I do
stand in awe in amazement of the amount of time
that it's clear to me a person who's put in
to be able to strike the ball so well. And
you know, I've sat next to Phil Mickelson while he's
hit shots and talked to him, you know, Rich Greg Schadler.
If I had ten minutes, I could come up with
twenty more there over the years, just at the various
(05:18):
places where I've been and they're hitting shots. It's just
it's just it's just a different sound, you know. And
a lot of a lot of the guys who are
who are pros like me, they you know, when I
turned fifty, I'm going to get on the Senior Tour,
and I'm saying, well, that's good, but you better step
up your game because these guys who have been playing
on the regular tour for thirty years or the same
(05:39):
guys you're going to have to compete against when you
get out there. And so it's just a it's just
a different breed of individual that can get out there
and work on parts of the game that would bore
the average person to tears, but they do it over
and over and over again, and it shows in every
aspect of the game.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Bobby Steener, thank you very much for being with us again.
He is a director of instruction at Horse Shoe Bay.
Will see you out there on the weekend and the
remember seventh and eighth stay saved. Bobb. You have a
