Speaker 1 (00:03):
All right, it's the Golf Show on the Ticket Busy
with Joe Carriso. One of the things that you were
talking about in our first segment was encouraging people to
go play the Part three golf course and play from
different yardages.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'll just necessarily play one set of teas all the time.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
And it goes back to the fact that when we
talk about one of the handicaps that other than Alimo Heights,
San Antonio high school golfers have in that school gets
out late, so they don't have a lot of time
to play or practice.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
And practicing is one thing.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You can hit balls into the net, you can hit
balls in the driving range, but you're not going to
learn things until you figure them out on the golf course.
And you're a big proponent of playing golf, and whether
it's nine holes a day or you can get in eighteen,
but you've got to be playing a lot of golf,
you know.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
And it's I always talk to the young kids that
are trying to play in high school that you know,
some of these districts and I can name them, I
don't care, but the is I'm very set with the
public school golf right now, where they're not allowing these
coaches to be able to excel getting out at three
(01:09):
thirty three, forty five, four ten. Now, to me, even
though you might not be able to get to Almss
or Brack or Willow or at your home course to
play some holes, you can get to San Pedro and
play from different yardages. You can back up to one
sixty eight, one eighty, all right, and it's slit. So
(01:31):
golf is golf. He had to go out there and
you're going to hit a bunch of iron shots and
you're still hitting to a target. You still got to
deal with the winds, you still got to deal with
the grass. And I just like I told some of
my kids, I go, look, it's gonna be a tough
year getting out late. Get over here, get a tea
time two or twice a week, and play nine holes
(01:53):
from different yardages and watch what happens. You're not going
to lose what you've gained all summer, right, all right,
you'd be able to hold on to it.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Now you can't. Golf's golf. Go play.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
How do you make practice fun? Because I think that's
the one thing. After a while, people just like I'm
tired of hitting balls. So the ones that can sit
out there for two or three hours figure out a
way to make it fun on.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
The driving range.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
They, I think they What you should do is start
learning how to hit all the hit big low snap
hooks all right, and shots that you think you might
have to hit in the trees.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
That makes a little bit more fun. But then i'd
but the golf balls.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
You know, a bucket of balls is not I'm not
going to say it's not cheap, all right, it's not.
It's the people don't want to hit wedges to the
little spots on the on the on the driving range.
That would be a lot more fun hitting of different
shots to all different places on the ground on the
on the driving range.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But you know, Andy, I'll go back.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I mean, if you want to practice and have more fun,
hit a bucket of balls. But go go like I'm
gonna keep going saying, go play the part three. If
you only have an hour, hour and a half, go
play the part three. It's so much more fun than
standing on the driving age.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, all right, let's get this some tips. We'll get
to some of this segment and the rest in a
little bit. I sent you a video of something I
saw online and it's a Nick Faldo drill, and he
credits winning one of his Open Championships by working on
this and basically lays a club down our an amy
stick like a lot of golfers do, on the ground,
and then before he makes a golf swing, he basically
(03:31):
sets the club by you know, breaking the wrists and
putting the club and his arms parallel to the stick
on the ground and the club is putting up in
the sky so it's in the right position, and then
he just makes a golf swing from there. Take us
through that, and do you like that drill? He likes it,
and I was wondering if you've ever used it.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
So Nick Faldo had a long career, and that long
career is one of the big reasons he had that
long career. And well, I think Scotti, Scheffler, Will and
Tiger did and all these justin Rose is for one reason,
and I'm gonna use David Oger and also had a
long career because they had what I consider one of
(04:14):
the perfect grips. You can't do the drill that he's
talking about unless your grip is what we call neutral.
You know, if you have a strong grip and you
try to break it back like that the face of
dead shut.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Right, he can't arm will go up what he's talking about.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
So the drill is that some of these guys will
throw out there, especially a PGA tour guys. You know,
the first thing you have to look at is does
your grip mimic theirs? Because if you don't, it won't work.
And he had, you know, a phenomenal look. His hands
were phenomenal on the club, like Snee, like Hogan, like
(04:50):
you know, Demerit, like Tiger. You can go down the
list of great great grips, Tom Watson, guys who played
forever all right, the they had what I called a
neutral grip period. That drill works only if you mimic
the grip.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It's kind of like you want to go exercise, but
if you're going to have a bad diet, it's I'm
not going to do any good, that's the way.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
So yeah, so you can.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
If you're going to have a good golf, practice a
certain drill and the grip is bad, the drill.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Is not going to work any Is it a good drill? Yes,
we've used it.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
As a matter of fact, I used it twice yesterday
where we preset is what he's talking about and then
rotate around that, so only if the grip is mimic.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Scotty Scheffler talks about this with pro am partners, and
I heard Michael Bred talking about this on one of
his shows earlier this week, And basically, there are a
lot of people who go to them, to go to
an instructor to take golf lessons or play pro ams,
and their body isn't physically in a position to where
(05:57):
they can do what's.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Necessary to be to make the proper golf swing.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They're overweight, they're not flexible enough, they've lived a sedentary life.
They need to be in the gym more often, and
they wonder why they can't do certain things and the
body just won't let them happen.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So when you teach.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Somebody that has limitations because of their body shape and
size and whatever, how do you work around that to
where at least they can try to get a little
bit better.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I think a lot of it stems from the way
they're going to stand, all right, So I'm going to
use some different words that people might not heard of,
But at a dress position, you can get somebody actually
to rotate by opening up the joints, all right, is
what I call it at a dress position. Just give
me an example. If your feet are ninety degrees to
(06:46):
the target line you are going you are locking down.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The hip joint will belatorus.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, And so to me, like say, if you are
a little bit overweight and you don't really get to
practice a whole lot or get to play, you sit
all day and you're awfully tight, the first thing I
would do is flare the left foot out twenty to
thirty degrees if you're a right end or in the
right foot about ten to twenty, and then preset your
(07:16):
angles from there. You know, your spineiees have a slight
tilt to the right, you know, and that's from the
tailbone to the stem of the night and our day,
it was like, you know, drop your right shoulder now,
tilt to the spine. You start there and you will
start being able to move. And that's what we need.
We need movement, and that's where it starts. That's where
(07:37):
the movement. And I can show you one hundred percent
change in people and their ability to at least you know,
start advancing the ball and start moving.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, when I started working out with Craig Brown about
fifteen years ago. I basically told him I don't want
to be, you know, a mister Universe or Iron Man
or be able to lift, you know, bench press three hundred.
I want to be able to make a better golf
swing as I get older and whatever. It doesn't take
a lot of work to do the exercises that I do.
It's just a matter of getting in the car and
(08:08):
going to the gym or pulling out the yoga mat
and doing some stretching or whatever it is. It's just
you're sitting there watching TV anyway, just go do a
few things to move around a little bit. And I'm
being around the UTSA training staff for as long as
I have, and I've had asked this question the doctors
and trainers. They said, what's what's the number one thing
you see with your athletes? But not only that, but
(08:29):
with you know, your your family, And it says most
people just sit around too much. Get up and move,
just walk, Uh, do some push ups against the wall,
just do something to get your body moving.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
And I got to be you know, mobility is the
most important thing in golf.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Mobility stability.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
So it's like you don't have to be like, you
know Tiger who looks like he can run on the beach,
and itspeedo. So it's like, it's it's about mobility stability.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
The few times I've been standing next to Tiger, the
one thing that television does not do justice is how incredible.
You look at the guy on TV and you go, Okay, well,
he's older, he's got a little bit more body fat maybe,
But then you stand next to him and it's like,
there's nothing there.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
It's a rock, there's nothing there. So it's it's mobility stability.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He's not he's not that overly intimidating as a physical
a person.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He's the same height as I am.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But I mean the shape of his body and the
the whatever it is, the tone of the muscles, it's
just it's just.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
A perfect spot. It's different, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
A couple other things to get to in the next
couple of segments.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
