Speaker 1 (00:02):
All right, it's eight fifty, it's the Golf Show. Thanks
for being with us this morning here on the ticket.
Markin Valier and Kurtin James Keith Becker from MK Golf
Tech all with us here on the program. One of
the things that we talk about from time to time
when these guys are here is your fitness routine as
you want to play good golf. I think lifting weights
(00:23):
as important as you aid so that you maintain your strength,
but we also have to maintain flexibility. And you kind
of hinted this a couple of months ago when you
were here, Mark, and I've kind of followed this lead.
There is not enough. You can do as much as
you want, but there's never a limit to how much
stretching that you can do before you go to the
golf course. And the last few months when I've played
(00:47):
in my Saturday group or a few weeks because it's
only been since mid March that before I head to
the golf course, I stopped by the gym. Yeah, and
I'll just do a few little light weight training things
to get to kind of loosen your body up, a
little bit of yoga type exercises, those kind of things.
(01:07):
Because even if you have a driving range like Mission
a Lago has a driving range, Northern Hills has one,
Cere Creek has well. A lot of places don't. Some
now have nets that you can hit into. But I
automatically hit the ball better when I go to the
driving range if I stretch first. And I didn't think
about stretching when I was thirty or forty or fifty.
(01:28):
I thought I was pretty flexible. And then when I
was about fifty five, I, oh, you're not that flexible
as you think you are. I know you do a
lot of stretching when you work out and when you play,
when you would get ready to play golf, and I'm
starting to do that, and I think it's a benefit
to everyone.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
First thing, and I work out almost every day, at
least six days a week. The first thing I do
is I ride a stationary bike for about twenty minutes,
and I ride it pretty aggressively, and I'm got a
good sweat going when I get off. And then I
lay down on a mat with a roller and I'm
I'm there for at least twenty to twenty five minutes
and I'm stretching legs, hamstrings, I'm rolling my glutes, I'm
(02:07):
rolling my SI joint, I'm rolling as much as I
can my lower back, my thoracic, my neck, and doing
as much as I can by myself because I don't
have a trainer. Refuse to pay for a trainer. I'm
a tight ass. Soon and then I go and I
do all I do, everybody part with weights and including
(02:29):
my core, and then I'm there about two hours.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
You know, if you look at these pros down every
place that they stay at, whether it's the JW. Marriott
on they're here for the Texas Open or whatever hotels
they're staying at, you're going to find them in the
gym before they go to the golf course. And now
there's also the mobile trailers that have fitness equipment in them. Right,
and so Scotty Scheffler has the ten thirty tea time, well,
he's had a bed between six and six thirty, probably
(02:55):
has a little bit of breakfast, a light one, and
then he goes to a routine that inclines a stretch,
a light workout, another meal, a shower, a change of clothes,
and then goes to the driving range. And he's constantly
moving his body. I mean even when he's eating, he's
probably sitting for no more than five minutes, and then
(03:16):
when it's time for Tim to tee off at ten thirty,
his body isn't tight. There's too many of us probably
that wonder why we play poorly, especially in the first
half half of the round. The tea times at one
o'clock you pull in the parking lot. At twelve fifty,
you throw your clubs on the cart, you run to
the first tea and swing the driver as far as
hard as you can and wonder why you didn't go
very far.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Right and you're lucky you didn't hurt yourself. Yeah, you know,
it's a very It's just you know, flexibility. You know,
Kirk and I have preached this with everybody we've seen
in the last twenty five years. Flexibility is a key longevity.
I just talked to an old friend and we fit
for years ago. And if you remember Dick Sheffield, you know,
he called me yesterday. He's seventy seven years old, still
(03:57):
playing golf. Wants to know if the fifty five gram
shaft they're still using, you know, is still good for him.
And we talked on the phone on the way back
from horseher Bay you know, And I told him, I said,
I still think that's probably still good for you. But
he then wants to come in for fitting and I
told him yesterday, I said, the drive you have if
you when you come here for fitting, if we can't
get you ten yards, you probably don't need to buy
(04:19):
another driver, right, I said, Because if you're driving it
down the middle of the fairway, I said, if we
can't get you another ten yards, you probably don't need
to you know, you know, do something. But you know,
he seventy seven is still playing. I said, you're you're
you're you're head of the game, dude.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And I think the other thing too, And this is
never going to change here. But everybody in Scotland walks.
I mean, even though there's guys that with our caddies
at one of the golf courses, they were all as
old as we were older. And they're in way better
shape than I am because they walk seven miles every
day all day and they walk from there, I mean
at four roads. The town is fifteen hundred people, it's
three square miles. They can walk everywhere they go. And
(04:57):
so we're not going to do that. We're not going
to get rid of golf carts, and I'm planning to
play most of the rest of my golf in a
cart anyway. But if you can get yourself in the
right so shape before you get to the golf course,
I know time is of the essence sometimes, but I'm
going to tee off today around one o'clock, but I'm
going to be a planet fit and it's about ten
forty five for about thirty minutes.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Well, Kirk, you were talking during the break, and I
think whether you're a golfer who's trying to, you know,
be really really good and or you're just a weekend warrior.
I'll make fun of myself. And I was telling you
this mark the first five or six holes, I'm usually
just trying to kind of get into a rhythm, and
I usually don't start very well. But you know, maybe
I could take some stuff before we go to the
(05:35):
golf course, because I'm usually just hanging on for the
first four or five holes trying to find that rhythm
and it's you know, it's it could really help your
score if you could get right out of the gate
and you're already warmed up. I think of Scottie Scheffler
when he went through that whole ordeal. You know he's
stretching in his prison cell. Absolutely so all.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Right, Thanks guys, enjoy your open grand opening on Monday.
Keep up all the good work with fitting, and I
may come see you for a putter here pretty soon.
See if I can figure this thing out. Sounds Thanks
to all of you for the listing today. We'll look
forward to the Golf Show next week.
