It's 4:34 AM and my 3 year old has insisted we watch golf... and he will only watch videos that have Rory in it.
Master's highlights it is.
What a start to a Thursday!
[Watch your emails this weekend... We're giving away a Tour Aim to someone on the email list this week!]
➡️ BLACK FRIDAY DEALS (I'd be checking out right now)
Prime Putt Matt: Every golfer needs a putting matt at home or the office. The key is having one that you actually leave set up so you use it. I think the Prime Putt is the best option if you need something that will work on soft carpet and want it to look nice. Black Friday sale is going on now.
Sunday Golf has 15% off all their golf bags. The Storm Ryder was my go to this summer.
NEW PODCAST - What happened to the armlock putter?
We're still in the alt putting series on the podcast. In this episode I wanted to learn about the first big attempt to make Armlock putting mainstream.
It was the Matt Kuchar signature from Bettinardi that launched in 2013. I had on Sam Bettinardi to talk about it (fun fact his first role at the company was to sell this putter when it launched).
🤯 I've never had a video make me so frustrated. The ease at which Kyle Berkshire swings it 130mph club speed is CRAZY. Goes to show the value of pushing up your max and how everything else comes easier.
I've received some complaints about my snoring over the years.
My sleep scores on Whoop are generally pretty good so it wasn't really a sleep quality thing.
But I wanted to figure out if I could improve it.
We first start with data. Found this great app to track it called SnoreLab.
You set it next to your bed and it'll track your snoring and score it for you.
I set a baseline over a few days and then started testing things..
The best thing so far has just been the classic nasal strip. Honestly it helps me breathe so much better I don't want to take it off in the morning.
And my snore scores have gotten better.
Need to keep testing more things but this has been a fun mini experiment to work on.
MYTH OF THE WEEK
Myth #4: You should only work on mechanics at the range.
Truth: It's time you start working on mechanicsathome no matter if you have a simulator set up or not! This one surprises a lot of golfers. Dr Luke Benoit talks about why he actually prefers you don’t work on mechanics at the range. Why? The ball ruins everything.
Learn new movements at home with video or a mirror.
Use foam balls to test your new motion without pressure.
Once the movement looks right, then hit real balls.
His students online often improve faster than those in person because they separate learning from hitting.
