Video Transcription:

Clay: Absolutely. Great to have you here. I'm joined with a good friend of mine, Riley Andrews and really interesting video he did recently. And we're going to talk about it here and how in your backswing, if you do your takeaway like this, really not a good thing. If you're doing your takeaway like this, it can be a very good thing.

Although it looks really small, but when he describes it to you, uh, it'll make a ton of sense. And I've actually started to incorporate some of this in, in my teaching on the takeaway and So, you want to show them the hula hoop drill, Riley? 

Riley Andrew: Yeah, 

Clay: absolutely. 

Riley Andrew: So, um, I think you're exactly right. Like, just to the naked eye, you're like, dude, that looks pretty much the same.

But the sensation that the player is going to have is like crazy, crazy, crazy different. Right? So like the, the differences, the main differences that I see just, I test in you when you move in that way, clay is your, your hip axis or your pelvis. It's first action of the backswing. And the first example that you showed that the hip axis is rotating this way.

So we have this like early, early rotation to start off your golf swing compared to the hip axis, almost working in opposition of that. So it's almost like opening to the target rather than rip and open away from the target. It's a massive change to totally different looks. And so I think the video that you're talking about on our YouTube is this like idea, this like hula hoop look and to kind of explain the hula hoop just a little bit more in depth.

It's not, I don't think it's actually this like forced rotation in the pelvis where it's like, Whoa, that's like a crazy look. But kind of almost like. I E Matt Wolf, when he starts his golf swing, it's more just a lateral movement that the player is seeing and experiencing that makes that open to the target look happen.

So meaning this bro, like if I'm, if I've got my, my shoulder axis on this, like clothes line here and I start just moving my shoulders along this clothes line, notice how my axis isn't changing at all. It's just working towards you or towards the camera. If I do that from a shoulder axis standpoint, that's my map.

So I'm moving pressure laterally in this manner. If you look at that, Rory does that exact same like initial like swing starter takeaway. If we do the same thing through the shoulders, look at what happens to the knees. See how the axis actually changes here. Like if I'm off this camera just slightly and I start moving in this manner.

See how that knee axis changes. So it appears and it actually does open to the target when we're just moving laterally. And that's what we're describing when standing above the golf ball. And if you imagine this Hulu hoop right out in front of us, just moving the shoulders laterally away, we'll make the knee axis and the hip axis start to Hulu hoop in this manner.

And that's swing start. That's our preference. 

Clay: Yeah. And I like that a lot. Cause it's like. If you imagine like just a natural movement. So if I took a big medicine ball here and I said, okay, what am I doing in the golf swing? Well, I'm trying to make a backswing some what on plane. So I have to get my body and all the energy in the club moving up that plane.

Well, if I had a medicine ball and let's imagine there's a guy, you know, he's standing on top of a ladder here and he's like 10, 12 feet up in the air, kind of on that plane. So if I toss this ball back to him, He would be up here on the, on, on the same swing plane extension, the swing plane. Well, if this medicine ball weighed, say like 50 pounds instead of eight, how would I get it to him up there?

15 feet up in the air. Well, the first thing I would do is I would get a little weight shift very early to my right side, little chance. If this is a 50 pound weight that I'm going to be able to toss that up to him here, if I'm on my lead side on this left leg and kind of like pushing it across my body, right.

It doesn't make any sense, but if I get a little bit of almost upper body, like Thorax or shirt buttons, if you want to think of it that way, uh, going to the right very early. So almost like as I'm even loading up the ball in the opposite direction, I'll be bending into my knee. And like Riley was just talking about, if I put a club on there, if I did that motion, it would start to kind of open to my target line or turn a little bit in this way.

And then that's so good. I have a little hip hinge too. Like I wouldn't be like. no hip hinge, you know, no flexion in my pelvis. I'd have a little hip hinge. And then from there, I could just toss it right up to him. Right. That's like a, a very powerful way to say, how do you get energy moving up the plane without really having to put out tons and tons of effort from your body, you know?

And I think in the golf swing, everybody's looking cool. So everybody's looking for like a easy way to get the club moving in the right direction. Well, if I'm weight left, Center. My spine, thorax, all this is left. My right hip now is like locked out straight in my, you know, be throwing it back is going to be a weird feeling.

If I do my little throw the medicine ball to the guy on the ladder, all of a sudden I'm, it's like a little close and then I'm throwing it back. And I realized, you know, I thought this was like, I never really thought about the closing part. It's something I've always done in my swing. Exactly like you're describing there.

But I've never thought of it in that kind of closing off to the backswing direction. And I realized for me, this trigger of my swing, ever since I was real young would be like lifting my lead foot. So I'd have like a little tap of my left toe, like lifting it off off the ground. And when I do that, this automatically closes like a hair and my shoulders close the hair and my white, my weight ends up going to my right side.

And then it's easy to kind of throw it back there, which I thought was like kind of genius. To be honest with you, I don't know if you came up with it, but you should say you did. You just, cause you sound really smart right now. 

Riley Andrew: No. Yeah. You know what? Honestly, Clay, there's not one damn thing that I, the, that I coach that isn't from somebody else.

That's invented the concept first. Right. I'm just trying to organize it in a way to help students play better golf. Right. So dude, there's so many like little sexy little things that you just talked about there. I don't even know where to fricking start with it, but yeah. Like. And I think that the idea here is for a lot of players, the, the really cool positions that we see out of some of the best players in the world, right?

Like you look at Adam Scott or Fleetwood or Victor Hovland, Neiman, Mito, I mean, name your favorite player. Right. And whatever you really like about them, we can freeze frame a certain portion of their golf swing and go, look, that looks so fricking awesome. Right. And for a lot of players, and I think historically how the game is taught or was taught was a position based static approach to being able to get there, right?

Whatever you want to call them, two piece freezers, whatever, right? You go to the back, you want to see the golf club on plant and you hold it there and then you make your golf swing from there. Um, and the problem with that general approach is it doesn't translate and correlate most often doesn't correlate.

For players to actually sense that and feel that athletically problem. And so a lot of the things that, or ideas or maps that we prefer is, and I think I speak, when I say we, you and I, we like seeing things in a dynamic manner. And so like, it's, it's almost like how you just explained, like with something with weight, if I'm holding that 50 pound medicine ball, there's no way in heck.

That I'm just going to run that medicine ball back on that plane that you just described just with running the arms 

Clay: makes no right. 

Riley Andrew: You have to create some kind of like, yeah, there's, there's a, there's a, A kinetic sequence to that, to be able to actually put energy in certain portions of your body that leak into additional portions of your body to support.

And then finally into the object, it'd be no different than like winning a tug of war. If I got a rope here and I want to pull it away, I would never just run it with my arms because the opposing force, I'm going to shove my, my body forward by doing, you're going to be, you're going to be like this when you get 

Clay: started.

Riley Andrew: That's exactly right. So there's all this like load into the trail and then you might start to rotate and that's swing start the golf club. If the golf club were, were the entity that we're trying to move away, I mean, shoot, it would hardly move at all while I went lateral and started to rotate away.

Right. But this first initial, like what you're talking about with this, like flexion in this right knee, well that creates, if I put flexion in the right knee because of this pressure change in my right side, the lead knee is going into extension. Not because I'm pushing off, none of that crazy stuff. It's just this like pressure over here so that now I can turn on top of this right side.

And now you can start moving the golf club away and curve it on the plane and do all the cool stuff. But that little dynamic, like, Oh, is the swing start. 

Clay: Yeah. And I love that. Cause you know, for those of you who aren't familiar with Raleigh, awesome teacher, I started watching his videos. He does the best job of what I would say is describing the invisible.

Um, so like there's these invisible things that are happening that unless you're really, really paying attention, you'd never see them, but it's, it's what creates the motion. And I think that, you know, the, the flow of the swing, the motion of swing, he does as good as anybody I've ever met. I started watching his videos.

We became buddies here and, uh, check out elite golf schools. YouTube, Instagram, basically anywhere you type it in, it's going to pop up 50 different places, but, uh, highly recommend that you, you check it out, but we had some good conversations. I was like, Hey, we should do a video where we kind of talk about some things that we agree on.

And then also talk about some things maybe we disagree on, right. Have a little debate, a little conversation on like, wow, we teach them that way. So yeah, I think that that's, I just love that for the backswing. It's almost invisible, right. Cause it's just this little, that little motion like that. It's just a little flex here.

My entire body goes to the right. It's not like, yeah, we're going to get you to do, you know, I don't want you to be doing this when you're, you know, that makes sense. That's not what we're talking about. It's just a little tiny shift. You changes your pressure. Now, all of a sudden my right leg's loaded up.

I can swing it back and it's really easy. And then in the downswing, you're just kind of repeating the process in the opposite direction where I'm loading here, backswing when my, at least this is what I teach when the club gets to about here. Backswing is over. So that's why that first little bit is so crucial because once I get the club moving, backswing is over here and then I got to start shifting back to the left and doing almost the exact opposite thing to where now my upper body and my lead legs start to flex.

My weight begins to shift to the left as I'm still going back. And now I'm in a position to where if I was going to throw the medicine ball the opposite direction, I'd be in a great position just to rotate through and hit it. Is that kind of, would you agree with that 

Riley Andrew: dude? 100%. I'm actually jealous that you got to say that because that's my preference as well, man.

Like it's, um, isn't it interesting clay, like, you know, how, how the game was and still even kind of to this day described, like how the swing is described is there's a backswing. And if we want to use the P system just to kind of give, you know, position one is address and then going up to the top, this is position four.

And for the majority of instruction, this is the finish of the backswing. And then there's a downswing, which is a weird concept because there's a back, so a way, and then there's this down swing. It's not a forward swing, but it's a backswing So it leaves like this, there's no room for transition. And I think for most of the, like the golf swings that we just are attracted to as the public, we go, Oh, he just swings it with such great rhythm.

You hear this all the time. Like you go to a PGA tour event and everybody's sitting in the crowd back behind the driving range and watching all the guys hit balls. And you'll hear these murmurs throughout the crowd. Like, I just don't understand how it looks like they don't work at all. And the ball goes forever.

The ball just rockets. And it looks like they're swinging so easy. We're seeing this time. In this transition where the golf club almost appears to float, but that transition starts where you just described like the golf swings, the the back swings relatively done, roughly halfway back ish, somewhere in this space.

And now all of a sudden, this is like the transitionary period. So look at how long the golf club can flow or float in this space. Before you start to change direction and go to the other and swing the instrument forward towards the target. 

Clay: Yeah. You want to look like Ernie Ells. That's how you do it, right?

So many people get the, to the top of the backswing. They're thinking smooth, smooth, smooth. My weight's still on my right side. I'm way over here over my right foot and I'm just kind of stuck here. And then all of a sudden I have a quarter of a second to get down to the ball and it's like, I got to throw my weight left.

Rush the club down and you're just like, so fast, whereas an Ernie Ells is going to be, he's going back. His weight's going to begin to shift. Everything's coming to the lead side as this club is just almost like floating, moving about a half a mile an hour. Right. And then once he gets over there and is in a position to start the downswing, then it's just unload.

And that's what makes it smooth. Is that you want to have a smooth golf swing and you have a powerful golf swing. It's all about the transition. In my opinion. Get the weight moving back early, get the club moving back early, and then take your time to get to the lead side, take your time to let that club kind of set and begin the swing, and then you can come through and still get some power.

So, you know, if I did have one thing I got, I'd maybe, maybe disagree with, or in the video that I was watching, maybe we have a different philosophy here is, One of the things that you taught was almost do that. And as you're in this transition, you're going to almost let the upper body. So if you imagine this club is my spine angle, my upper body is going to fall a little bit into the ground.

And then as I get there, as I push in this lead side, that creates a lot of rotation. I can keep the upper body, the torso moving through the shot and get a lot of power in it. What's your, what's your opinion on that? What's your, your kind of take on how that move would work? 

Riley Andrew: Okay, so how do you even start this because it's such a, it's such an interesting concept and looking at like how the spine is moving in space and we hear a ton about, you know, spine health and, you know, Hell of a lot of debate when it comes to spine health as well.

It seems like everybody that you talk to is like, that's not healthy, but this is, and then the next guy that you talk to, he says the dead, dead opposite. So meanwhile, we're all have back problems. Meanwhile, that's a common thing. No doubt about it. Right? No, no joke. So I think what, what the difficult thing here to do is conceptualize stuff like human beings as animals are really good at seeing things in 2d space and 3d space is.

In some ways, like almost impossible to conceptualize, but here we go, we're going to try to do it right here. So if I'm in golf posture, like from a face on or caddy view perspective, and we just tried to study the spine, right? We'd see the spine and almost this vertical shape, like it's 90 degrees to the ground roughly.

Now, if I turn this way, it sure as heck isn't 90 degrees to the ground. It's on some kind of angle and the angle changes depending on the club that you're hitting. It's going to be higher wedge. It's going to be lower. Right? Throughout the entirety of the swing, what I prefer to see because we battle this, um, with 99 percent of the players, like I'll tell you this much, I've never taught somebody that I had like in the initial onset of coaching them that I have to go, okay, dude, we have a problem.

You need to hip extend more. I have yet to coach that person. I I've coached numerous players where I'm like, okay, we want to stay dropped in or more hip flexion for a longer period, like darn near everybody that I see. So a lot of the, the stuff that we're pushing and, and, and, and shoving through our, you know, our social media channels or, or whatever it may be.

Our conceptualizations on how to stay in flexion for longer, because everybody battles extension of the hips too early. So what we're really describing, like if we just look at this, at this shape, like my spine look right now, my midline, which is perpendicular to my, my shoulder axis is pointing towards this wall over here.

So let's hang on to where my midline is right now. If I face you and I want to rotate my midline towards this target, but I'm staying in this same flexion state that I started with. If I keep the same flexion state and I turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, this spine angle right here looks extremely similar to what I just showed over here.

That's the map in my mind. So what I'm trying to explain here, Clay, is that if I just maintain, I'm not adding more and I'm not subtract, subtracting the amount of hip flexion that I started with. And I turned either away from the target roughly 90 degrees. So now my midline is pointing towards this wall, or I simply turned towards the target.

I'm looking to keep the same general spine shape and same hip flexion state that I started with. Is that in actuality going to happen? No, probably not. Like I don't see too many players that finish right here on tour, right? Everybody's in this extended state in the hips. At the finish. It's just how early we get there that causes issues in the golf swing.

That's the map that we're looking to explain. 

Clay: Yeah, that makes total sense. So it's like if somebody is making a down, so this is what I, this is how I teach Sue. So if you're watching this video, what I'm thinking in my head is I'm thinking of the thousands of lessons I've given. What do I see players do in common that if they did it more like a tour player or more like the best player at your local club, they would hit it a lot better.

You did a lot better. And what Riley's saying there is almost everybody that we see as they start the downswing, typically they'll get out of, so flexion would be like, if my upper leg, my femur here, and my span, my spine were straight up and down, I would be in extension. If I hinge forward to where now my spine is at a different angle than my femur, we're not going to worry too much about the pelvis because it's a little more complicated to think about it, but if I flex like this, Then I'm in flexion.

So most people in good golf swings will tend to start the downswing, either maintain flexion or even increase flexion a little bit. So they're in their posture. And then as they come through the shot, they go into this posting up an extension in the follow through most players that I see. In fact, I would say dang near every player that I've ever coached tends to go here.

And then as soon as they start the downswing, they back up out of it with their upper body. The hips go forward and they pop up out of their, their posture and then start to throw the club a little bit. So in Raleigh's video, he was describing going a little bit more like in the downswing, you're going to be here and then you're falling into it and you get quite a bit of forward tilt with your spine.

And then from there, you just simply post up and drive through. Now, if you do that, in my opinion, if you really did it the way that extreme. It takes away a little bit of power and you may disagree with this, but we can just talk about it. So if I went, I like to think of an extreme example. So if I go all the way forward like this, and I was going to make a golf swing, I would have to swing my arms real low across my body or around my body like that.

If I was straight up and down, I would be able to have more elevation with my arms. So think about like a Davis Love versus somebody that's way down bent over. And the elevation and up and down portion of the arms. So doing this motion in the swing, as you add rotation, can add quite a bit of swing speed.

It's also a little easier, like unless you're crazy flexible, it's really tough to get down in this super spine down toward the ground position. And then be able to rotate through it, just because your shoulders have to rotate so perpendicular to the ground. Um, also if you're, you know, if you're like some of these tour guys that are like a buck twenty five soaking wet.

Yeah. You know, like they, they, they're so light, it's very easy to drive with the legs and post up through there. Uh, we were talking earlier and you're mentioning, yeah, if you're a Brooks Koepka, uh, this is what Riley was saying is if you're Brooks Koepka, you're a bigger guy going to be tougher to do that.

You're going to be a little bit more upright. So as a whole, I would say a little bit more, in my opinion, a little bit more upright spine angles, upright actions are going to give you free speed, but most people are way over doing that. Most people get to hear. And then, boom, they're right out of it from the start.

So if they feel like if I'm, I don't want to speak for you, but I think what you're saying is if I feel like I'm down here and I look on camera, I'm actually pretty good. I look a little bit more like Adam Scott or tiger from 2000 kind of thing. 

Riley Andrew: Yep, exactly. Okay. So here, let's have some fun with this. So there's, there's definitely, and here's like one big caveat that I want to just like throw out there is every fricking golf instructor has their own like.

Preferences and what they see, right? Clay has his preferences. I might have some different preferences and no hate on clay. There's no hate on anybody else. However, however, there's some things that I would say that I, I, I generally somewhat disagree with in there in that it doesn't take a ton of flexibility to go into the drop and, and just describing like how this drop happens.

The flexion state in the, in the pelvis is not just me like hinging forward in this manner. So it's not like, uh, it's not necessarily that I'm trying to move my spine in a direction where it's just falling forward and trying to get level with the ground. It's more that I'm moving my pelvis and dropping the pelvis.

Like if I, if I'm in a, in a squat rack and I've got a squat bar on my back and I start to drop, my drop is here. So my, my, my, my buttocks, my booty is going kind of down towards where that, um, Hula hoop is. And as I do that, I increase the flexion state in the knees and I increase the flexion state in, in the hips, but look at what my spine does to counter that.

We'll see my spine axis here, generally. And then as I drop, I'm keeping generally that same spine shape as far as the S shape, the S curve. But the, the spine starts to fall forward because of the action of the pelvis and the hips. Now, I don't think I would argue that it doesn't take a ton of flexibility to do that because every darn person can sit down in a chair.

Everybody can do that. Right? It's not, and we're all also not looking to have this like massive drop to actually get into a full squat position. It's just as I, as I've turned to the top here, and by the way, I start with some amount of flexion to start with. What we're looking for here is, is just a tiny drop in this transitionary state.

And you'll see, like, as I do that, my head level would drop some, and a lot of the guys that are like crazy lowering guys, like Neiman would be one of those dudes. A lot of the lowering that we see is not necessarily because of an abnormal amount of hip flexion. It's a, it's a crazy amount of C and T spine bend.

So if I've dropped some amount, I've turned over here, we don't see a ton of drop here. But as I've been more and more and more, we'll see all of a sudden that my head level has dropped dramatically because of the amount of side bend that that particular player has. And now we're in like a whole nother can of worms, right?

Like, is that healthy or not? Blah, blah, blah. And everybody has a different turn, like preference on, on like the healthy, uh, a healthy preference. And if you talk to one doctor competitor, another, they're going to give you two different answers on that. But what we have seen when it comes to the studies is that side bend.

In the T spine and the C spine doesn't create injury on its own from that movement in the golf swing, as long as it's done based on certain, certain movement patterns to be able to create that. It's not like I'm trying to like shove side bend into my, into my action. It's because of a different map that the player has that causes side bend for the most part.

Clay: Yeah, I think that's great. And if you're going into a tremendous amount of side bend, I'm guessing what you would agree with is if I'm going into a tremendous amount of side bend. Um, I also wouldn't want to thrust my hips toward the target a ton and get a lot of lower back, lower back. So if you imagine like a lot of extension from a lower back this way as I'm inside Ben, that's a back killer.

Right? So if you're trying to get a ton of that and your hips are kind of bumping out this way versus your hips kind of going more back and through, then. You know, that's a lot easier on the, on the body. So you say, so I think as a nutshell, you know, as an overall philosophy, we're probably agreeing on a lot there where, you know, most people are doing this, right?

So you probably couldn't overdo, I can't see anybody overdoing getting the pelvis and the hips to go back away from the golf ball too much. I mean, if I could think of, I've had students do that. It's a real rare case that they do that too much. So it's almost like, don't worry about it. I'm overdoing that a little bit.

And one thing I'll say for, you know, if you're top speed golf, you've been watching a lot of my videos. You may think, well, if I'm getting this weight to the left, I'm almost talking about getting the upper body to the left, I'm getting the pelvis. I don't want to get it too far forward this way. Well, how does that fit in with a stable fluid spine?

So I'll talk about having spine tilt away from the target at impact, which every player will have spine tilt away from the target impact. What happens to create that is I get my weight to the left. My pelvis doesn't ride way in front as I get into the side bend. It's almost like it kind of goes a little bit back this way, almost like I'm turning my butt away from the target.

But then as I drive through it and get an extension, you're still going to see that spine tilt away from the target. So it's not, not that you won't have spine tilt, it's just how you're doing it with your pelvis and when same thing with early extensions, not that you don't have extension, it's when are we extending?

If I'm extending up here, it's bad. If I'm extending through here, that's really good. So, you know, is that kind of, would you agree with that or disagree? 

Riley Andrew: Yeah. And I think the, the, the main, like, cause we can extend in like all kinds of different ways. We can have jumping patterns, right? Which we feel that from like the feet and the legs, we can have active rotation in the pelvis, which I tend to try to stay away from because typically that, that creates early extension, or it can have this, this extension because.

Of certain fascial lines and not to get like crazy into this, but, but maybe one image that we could throw up on this clay is just a picture of the spiral line, which is a myofascial line that works through the entirety of our body. And in general, where it, where it starts just for like, conceptualizing this is kind of over the players.

Um, scapula, and then it works underneath the armpit diagonal across the chest and across the abdomen. So it's working this way over the neighboring hip complex and then down the IT band. Okay. And then I'd also have another one here that's symmetrical to it. So in, in my preference, again, when it comes to when the hips extend, it's because the upper spiral line commands that that happens.

And if, uh, a simple way to see this is if we, uh, had a dot or a sensor kind of in my armpit and then another sensor here in the trail hip so that I could just track the distance apart that these two sensors are. If I move this sensor away from the trail hip, we'll see all this like expansion in the, in this, in this space.

And so, if I'm in my backswing, I drop in, and then from here, the upper spiral starts to pull. Eventually, it pulls onto this trail hip, and that's why we see this hip extension. But it's a passive move in my preference rather than an active move. So it's not necessarily that I'm dropped in and I have to get this moving into extension because that's active pelvic rotation to make that happen.

And there's, there's some science behind like the, uh, the unhealthiness, that's a word of that pattern because we're just, we're putting like all this pressure on certain vertebrae. And if we've, if we're limiting space in a certain region of your body in a certain joint group, That's, that's where inflammation comes from and that's where pain comes from generally in our game.

Well, this is increased space, whereas this decreases that space, right? So there's a difference between active pelvic rotation and passive pelvic rotation because of certain fascial lines. And my favorite line is the spiral line because we can see so much good stuff based on proper spiral line movement in the golf swing.

Clay: Yeah. So it's not like you just throw it. Cause like a lot of times if somebody is trying to extend and they're just like throwing the hips forward, but this is like tucking into the, you know, still back there. It's like an easy way to block it. Like six miles to the right. 

Riley Andrew: Exactly. You just shove the handle out to the right and have fun with that.

That's either like rope hook or block cuts. So have fun playing golf. 

Clay: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Cause you try to save it. You know, you're coming away in there stuck, you save it and you rope hook it or block it. Yeah. Well, it's been great, man. I appreciate you joining me. It's been, it's been great getting to know you and, uh, we'll keep on doing this.

Like you said, love to do more of these. And maybe like in these, in this comment section on this video, if your followers are, are having, have specific questions on certain movement or their golf swing in general, maybe that can create some, some cool videos that we can like jam on in the future. And we can just take, uh, take some ideas from your crowd.

Clay: Yeah. I love it, man. Let's do it. All right. See you, buddy. Beautiful. 

Riley Andrew: Thanks so much, Clay. See you, bud. 

Clay: All right. So if you're a member of Top Speed Golf, I would highly recommend you take what we took. We take what we talked about in the takeaway at the beginning of this video and apply that to the power turn.

It's the exact same motion. You're trying to get your hips and body loaded up in the backswing. I'm going to challenge you to go to the very first level of the power turn section, go to the instruction tab, top speed golf system, power turn. Just do one video from there. As you get through level one, it becomes more comfortable.

As you get to level two and level three, it becomes completely ingrained. And that's the only way to have emotion in your swing where you don't have to think about it. You show up to the course, all of a sudden you're hitting it 30 yards past your buddies having a great time, but it all starts with one video.

So go over there to level one, do one video today. I can't wait to see you in the power turn.
