Out of all the things
@TigerWoods
has done in his career, today was the greatest lesson for all junior golfers out there that he’s ever given. That finish after the 10 on 12 was self control at the highest level!!

Well, the PGA tour as we’ve known it for so long is being forced to change. I know that many have different opinions about all that’s going on, how does everyone feel about it? I was taught to not bite the hand that’s fed me. Loyalty is a thing of the past I guess.

Reflecting back on my career, if I hit a million balls in practice, I wish I would’ve hit half as many balls and taken twice as many practice swings without a ball. The ball owns you because you need a result and in a practice swing your mind is open to change!!!

I’m pleased to announce that on June 30th, I’m starting a brand new program called Let’s Talk Golf. Let's Talk Golf is going to focus entirely on the mental game. I'm going to teach you how I made a living thinking my way around the course and winning 14 times on the PGA Tour.

Let me be very clear, I’m so happy for Cameron Smith winning the TPC and I hope he surpasses me in wins. He’ll continue to see the locker and I won’t. I was just trying to help young golfers make a high percentage decision when leading by several strokes.

Hey Cameron, you’ll need one more to match your locker mate. The next time you get to 18 with a three shot lead, leave the driver in the bag. Less drama and easier on you.

After 5 years of teaching I can’t believe how little I knew about the swing while playing 22 years on the

Golf is a journey with no destination. To my knowledge no one has ever completed the journey. Not Tiger Woods, nor Jack Nicklaus. They all thought they could get better.

Great evening last night at the Payne Stewart Awards Ceremony.
@JustinRose99
was sensational and seeing old friends is always special. The highlight of any golfers career is being the recipient of this great award. I think of Payne often, golf misses him.

If I had my career to do over again, I would learn to hit it hard first and straight later. I learned straight first and that is a mindset that is hard to change to where you can swing hard. I think golf is a mindset to a large degree after you are entrenched in it.

A little piece of advice for parents: kids don’t know fear on the golf course when they start. We as adults introduce them to it. As they advance, let them make those mistakes that look like it’s too risky. Playing golf without fear is the goal.

617
For all the young golfers out there: who’s responsibility is your golf game? Your parents? Your coach? Maybe it just might be yours!! Take responsibility for your own game and seek it with everything you’ve got. No one can do it for you!! Once you do, there are rewards.

There is no set way to swing a club. What works for you is what’s best. We have to finally decide when that’s the best way. Are you there yet? The question we all face everyday. I’ll ad one more thing, there is only your perfect golf swing, find it and live with it.

Something for young players: I’m not sure I was talented at the game in the beginning. I just worked really hard at a young age and talent showed up. I question whether it was talent or hard work. Hard work makes talent reveal itself. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I spent most of my formative years in golf, alone on the course or practice area, getting to know the game I love. I wonder if kids today can stand to be alone enough to get to know this game intimately. I’m sure that the majority of great players did the same.

Golf is such a personal game. You have your own equipment, hopefully fit to your swing. Your own bag and your putter better be your best friend. It’s your personal journey to see how good you can become. No one can hold you back if you want it bad enough. Commitment is the answer

Thought of the day: When I was making swing changes I used to really like making full swings in slow motion while hitting a shot. I liked to see how short I could hit it with a slow motion swing while feeling the change. Slow motion reps are great for change.

For several months now I’ve been building what I think is going to be one of the best courses in Texas. It’s called Darmor Club. Doug Wright and myself have used several of the template holes to create a very special place. We will start grassing this month so stay tuned!!

Can YIPS we defeated? YES!! I lost my card in 1993 because I had the driver yips. It always starts with a technical flaw that then turns into a mental issue. First, go see someone that can find the flaw. Second, lower your expectations while retraining your brain.

Exciting times. A very different golf course is coming to Texas. Darmor Club in Columbus Texas, between Austin and Houston. Land that was mined for sand and gravel over a 100 years ago. Couldn’t have a had a better piece of land to create a great golf course. A tribute to history

I’ve never seen a player turn their weakness into a strength. I HAVE seen many a player ruin their career by trying to do it though. You can always ‘improve’ your weaknesses, but don’t forget what made you a good player to begin with.

I can’t over emphasize the importance of a strong commitment level to one thought on each golf swing. Have a plan, execute the plan and then except the result. Move on to the next shot.

Byron Nelson teared up at lunch with me one day because I had just won more money in 1982 than he had in his whole career. I asked, what’s wrong and he said nothing, I feel like I helped you and the tour get to this point money wise. I wonder what he thinks about now!!!

We recommend to younger players that have a good swing but aren’t scoring, to move up to forward tees so that they can go low. They start to think they are suppose to score low regardless of the tee they play. Would this be a good idea for you?

I was blessed because I spent my early years playing a short, tight golf course. I broke the course record when I was 16 with a 64 and by the time I went to college I had other records because of the mindset of going low that my first course taught me. Play it short and go low!!!

For the dedicated golfer, practice is what you do to get better and gain “trust” in yourself. Trust is what you use to gain peace that you can manage the difficult situations in competitive golf. This is your journey, trust your decisions and your work.

Parents please don’t use your kids to claim your fame. I see this a lot and it really disgusts me. Let the kid have their time, sit back and be proud for them. Help them stay humble and to always be grateful for the talent GOD gave them, not you.

Just thinking out loud, the day that a golfer learns how to control the face of the club with the coordination of rotation of his body, connection of his arms to that rotation and quiet hands is what every golfer dreams about. It’s possible for most with golf knowledge. Find it!!

Another little piece of advice for parents: kids don’t know fear on the golf course when they start. We as adults introduce them to it. As they advance, let them make those mistakes that look like it’s to risky to you. Playing golf without fear is what we all long to do.

How many of you golfers never experiment with a new shot? If you don’t experiment, you’ve stopped learning and you’ve accepted what you have currently. My advice is to stay on the journey of finding out who you can become as a golfer, expand your arsenal of shots.

We lost the wisest man in golf yesterday, Jackie Burke, Jr. in my opinion. He was a mentor to many in the game of golf and the game of life. He was a mentor to me. He was never afraid of the truth and felt it led to growth. He loved competition and amateur golfers. RIP Jackie!!

Let go of control of your swing when you go to the course. You must trust your work. Commit to the things you can control like decision making, thought process, pre shot routine, etc. Leave control of your swing on the practice tee.

My point this morning has been playing golf and swinging a club are two different things. Many have swung poorly and played great. Many have swung great and played poorly. Playing is an art!!! Many swing on plane today because of technology.

For all the parents out there that have a young golfer or athlete, the expression on your face says it all. Be aware because your child is always looking. In my early stages my dad’s excitement or approval always showed on his face and likewise his disappointment did as well.

Jackie Burke once told me that all the names on the lockers at any given time on the tour aren’t bigger than the game itself and we should always remember that. I think everyone that ever had their name on one of those lockers should be grateful!!!

I always wanted to be the best. I did everything I could to work toward being the best golfer in the world. I couldn't live knowing that I didn't work hard and give it everything I had. Ask yourself: Do you want to be the best? Are you ready for the commitment that takes?

What makes the golf swing hard is every body part has an exact time, direction and speed to participate. Any deviation from that creates manipulation. Manipulation can work for a short period of time but ends up failing us most often at our most important moments.

A golfer’s body is like an orchestra. Each body part has to work at the correct time with the correct energy going in the right direction. When it does, the music is beautiful. When it doesn’t, cover your ears!

Life lesson: after the
@RyderCupUSA
in 2004 I left the game and built Boot Ranch in Fredericksburg Texas. I spent five years away from the game. I played about 20 rounds of golf in that time frame and would practice once a week at the most.

Golf is so personal. If you want to be better, invite the right people with knowledge, into your journey to get better. Then listen and do the work. It’s still “your” swing and game.

It’s much easier to make a change in your golf swing with practice swings because your attention can focus on the change. The need for result when hitting a ball won’t let us venture far away from what we’re doing that needs the change. Try it
15

325
If I had my career to do over again, I would learn to hit it hard first and straight later. I learned straight first and that is a mindset that is hard to change. Once you’ve done something for long enough, it becomes really hard to change that mindset.

The golf course will teach you everything you need to know but by the time you learn it all you may be to old to compete at the level you dream about. I had many mentors to help me reach my dream, ask and listen!!!

As a golfer, we always think we can get better. Satisfaction isn’t real for a golfer. How to get better is always on our mind. Good rule of thumb is to look within first. The change must start within.

Grassing the green complex for the 7th hole at Darmor Club in Columbus Tx. It’s a 185 yard par 3 that has a Biarritz green. This is a very special place where I’ve spent the last 8 months building this course. You will hear a lot more about this course soon.

For the dedicated golfer, practice helps you get better and gain “trust” in yourself. Trust is what helps you gain the peace and belief needed to manage the difficult situations in competitive golf. This is your journey, trust your decisions and your work.

We are caught in flurry of chasing as much distance as possible. That’s fine with a driver. Let me remind everyone that our irons are our scoring clubs. Accuracy and distance control are more important than how far we hit them. Chase control as well.

281
This question is for the accomplished player: do you think your next improvement lies in a swing change or mental change? When I first went on tour, I thought it was always a swing change. Experience is the great teacher, be patient and learn. We always think we don’t have time.

Having played the game at a very high level makes me sometimes feel when I play that I have a reputation to play well from the longest tees. I love the game and I want to continue to enjoy it so I have to move up a tee to still enjoy the game I Love!!

Pre shot routine is one of the most important things in golf. Make decisions behind the ball: club selection, wind, downhill, uphill, break line, etc. Once you step up to the ball commit to the decisions you’ve made and don’t de-commit. Many de-commit, trust your decisions!!

Thought for parents of developing young golfers, 12 or less: don’t be worried about how far behind your youngster is from the rest of the players his age. Kids develop at different paces. Exposing them to what the game and what it teaches is what’s important.

The trend in golf here in the US is to make it as hard and long as we can and conquer it with distance. It’s killing the avg player so moving up a tee or two helps you play better, faster and enjoy the game. Feeling better about yourself as a golfer is a good thing

I’ve heard people say that if you would’ve changed Jim Furyk’s golf swing when he was young he wouldn’t have made it. Wrong!!! He was great because of all the things you can’t see like his heart, mind, discipline, will to compete, etc, He would’ve been great with any swing.
