Golf With Jay Delsing - - Records Are Meant To Be Broken

25 years on the PGA Tour and a lifetime member of the PGA Tour and PGA of America, Jay Delsing brings you his perspective on one of the world's greatest games as a professional golfer and network broadcaster.

It's the game that connects the pros and the average Joes. Brought to you by Whitmore Country Club. Golf with Jay Delsing is now on 101 ESPN. Good morning, St. Louis. This is Golf with Jay Delsing. I'm your host, Jay Delsing. I'm here with my buddy, John Perlis. Perli, good morning.

Good morning, Jay. I got the clubs in over the hour. I had decent dreams last night.

I didn't lose your clubs. I'm ready to go. I'm just ready to go. You're ready to go? I am ready to go. Let's go then.

Let's go. We have formatted the show like a round of golf. The first segment is called On the Range, and the On the Range segment is brought to you by our friends at Golf Discount.

Golf Discount is where St. Louis shops for all its golfing needs. And then we have to do our social media because this is really important, and it's really important to me. Really? Yeah. I have a Twitter account.

It's at Jay Delsing. Facebook is Golf with Jay Delsing, and Jay Delsing Golf LinkedIn is Jay Delsing. And Instagram, I don't know. Well, what's been blowing up lately? You keep saying something's been blowing up. Yeah. For some reason, a bunch of people have been hitting me up on Twitter and following me on Twitter.

I don't know if I got arrested or if I did something. This is so embarrassing. I mean, I know Twitter because I hear Twitter. Yeah. But what does that mean? So they're saying things to you or they're just watching you? Oh, they follow me, so they're waiting for me to say something. Have you said anything?

No, not really. No. Maybe tonight. Maybe tonight you'll say something. Maybe I'll say something like, give me some Twitter love. You know Twitter. Who do you love to follow on Twitter?

Oh my goodness. There are so many good people on Twitter. Who's the best follower? Like comedians, athletes.

What do you want here? Who's your guy? Who's your guy? Who do you follow?

Who's your sports go-to? Locally, I love Danny Mac. He's always snarky. He's on top of everything. Just under the radar jabs that he can take. But he's professional at all times. Danny Mac is the bomb. He's tremendous. Love Danny Mac.

How about out of the golf or sports world? Oh gosh. You got a little off color one, me too. You don't want to tell anybody about like I'm following that guy.

He's not going to give it up. I can tell. I like some of the barstool guys that cover the cover golf. Yeah, the barstool sports.

I like the off the wall stuff. I don't follow as many golfers. Yeah, forget golf. How about just not even sports? You follow anybody outside of sports?

You're just a comedian or any musicians? One athlete I love is Alex Bregman with the Houston Nationals. Third baseman. He's a stud, by the way. He's at the top of his game. He's everywhere. Yeah, he's honest, which I think is hard for a lot of athletes on social media because there's so much backlash, but he just lets it fly.

He gives his opinion all the time and he can have fun with it too. Right on. Okay, so that's social media, bro.

What do you think about that? That's why I know exactly why I don't follow it right there. Well, I mean, I see people take pictures of their food.

Yeah, exactly. And they go, hey, I'm with John and Jay are going over to so-and-so bar and we're with meat and we're going to, I mean, I don't want to tell anybody. I'd rather go there and just eat by myself and throw food at people and stuff. I'm at the Walmart looking for peas and dragging my kids around here and talk about all that.

Yeah, I'm going to eat my food and hang out and try to be anonymous. But anyway, all right, so. Let's get back on it here.

Yeah, let's general overview of the show. Pearl, we're going to go to, let's just go right now. Justin. We're going to go down to Justin. He's been a great source of fixing your golf game down at Golf Tech. So this is Justin Hoagland.

Thanks, Jay. The topic today is on how to effectively practice. At Golf Tech, we allow our students to practice using our technology, reviewing their swings and developing skills of new movement on a weekly basis, along with taking weekly lessons, of course. And when golfers first come to us, they all say, I want to become more consistent.

We hear that all the time. What I try to accomplish with them is how to develop that consistency over time and in a way that breaks down their flaws and creates lasting change through slow motion, attentive practice. And most of our listeners have perhaps heard of the four stages of what's called reflective competence. And let me just briefly mention that it's unconscious competence means I don't know what I'm doing. Conscious competence, which means I know that I don't know. Conscious competence, which means I know what I know as the learning and effort phase.

And unconscious competence means what I know becomes second nature. And that's what we're trying to get with our students. Our goal as instructors is really to coach you to become more self-studiers of your swing, helping you to make more to effectively change what it is we're trying to change in the ball flight ultimately is what we're trying to change. So at Golf Tech, we really try to enhance that for our members. I would encourage everyone to look into us and how we can make your swing lasting through effective practice.

Really what we call that is reflective competence and improving your practice skills along the way. And Justin, thanks so much. Really great stuff. Well, we've got a couple additions of Whack and Chase. Yeah, yeah, we do. We are, you know, we are actually finding people are calling us and asking us about their golf game. We're having a little fun with it.

Fun. Yeah. You know, there's some stories.

Yep, there sure is. So we got a couple of those coming up. We've got, we're going to talk about the FedEx cup. We're going to clarify some of the stuff about the FedEx cup. We'll talk a little bit about the playoffs. If you don't know about the playoffs, we'll talk a little bit about that. Oh, because the FedEx cup is what to follow.

You mentioned a couple shows again. You know, we've run out of the majors now, but there's still a lot to pay attention to. Even if you're not a golf geek, it's fun to just kind of see who's on the bubble and you're watching these guys putt for their financial lives and their futures, but it's so different. Instead of just like the last week of the year, which is what it was for forever. Now it's kind of week after week, there's this elimination process that you're going to explain later, but it's fun to see guys under pressure. That's so immense.

They start acting like I do an average golfer. Well, you know, it's cool. Pearl is next week. I'm going to Jacksonville.

I'm doing PGA tour live and I've got the last tournament of the year before the FedEx cup playoffs start. It's the win them championship. I know we're going to get into this, but how many guys get into that final? So what are they vying for? 125 guys. If you make the top one 25 year, basically splitting $60 million.

Amongst those 125, but then those 125 one more week. We'll talk about that. But most importantly, we've got a new date for our next Mike Duffy.

So we're going to wear teeth. That's called Pearl. Just so you understand, you know where I'm that's called a tease.

Is that me? Everybody right now we're going to, we're going to have a little tease. Yeah. So we got our Mike Duffy saying that'll come in the 19th hole.

Cause Mike, it is restaurant sponsor that. So yeah, I've also got to talk, we're going to give a little recap. A few weeks back, we had my buddy Phil Frings on he.

He's the CEO of logistics, but he also has that really cool racing team and his wife is stricken with Alzheimer's and they put the names of the folks on there. We're going to get a little update about what they're going through and how the racing team's done. And then we're also going to talk about a couple of things that I I'm almost certain most people don't know about, but one's called a Wyndham top 10 and the other is called the Aon risk reward challenge. So it's amazing to me that there's that many cool things.

I'm so glad you're going over there. That's so many cool things to just kind of pay attention to, if nothing else, to see how guys that are on the verge of doing something in those different avenues, how they react, it's just fun. I always tease you about pros don't like to have anything different. There's all kinds of changes and opportunities. It throws them off their regular pace of their game and it's fun to see how they react.

Yeah. The other thing that we talked about a show ago or two was, you know, these opposite field events, you know, there's these opportunities for guys playing professional golf right now are just outstanding. I mean, back in when, when, when I was playing and you were playing and stuff, it was like, it's a PG tour, nothing. I mean, there's the goosey tour, there's a golden state tour and those things were like winging a prayer. And you do remember, this is a fun story.

Do you remember sitting in a room down in some lousy, there was about 2000 nights. So keep going down in Florida and have JC goosey stand in front of you, who the namesake of the tour that you and I were trying to figure out how to play on. We just got out of college. There wasn't much for us to play in.

We're going down and we're living in outside of Orlando in Kissimmee, Florida. And he said to us, I'll never forget this. He said, boys, just want you to make sure you're clear.

I know what you're going to say. The leading money winner on this tour is me. JC goosey. Cause he ran the tournament.

Cause he ran the tournament. So y'all can play the best golf you can possibly play, but you're not going to make more money than me. So here's two Midwest guys that play golf at UCLA. And we're down there playing in Florida and we're playing the Bermuda. Getting our ass handed to us week in and week out on that Bermuda, because you and I didn't know what in the hell to do in that Bermuda grass. Sometimes I'd hit that putt in the Bermuda and it would go half as far as I thought.

Another time I hit it in the Bermuda and it goes twice as far as I thought. Yeah. It was, it was something.

But you know what, Jay, obviously the money mattered and we saw what the money was, but we played because we fricking love to play golf and we wanted to be able to play on the tour someday. I got to tell you, we're running a little house. It was, we're not even going to go there.

This was a house. All right. We'll just leave it at that. And inevitably he'd be paired in the morning and I'd be paired in the afternoon. So we'd see each other in the morning. We rendezvous back at this place at night and we would sit down and Pearly was a beer guy and I was not. So I was drinking water. Oh, ma water. Yeah.

I'd rather have Tito's in it. I don't know. Maybe a little bit.

Yeah. And we'd be talking, I mean, in the stories meet, I remember one, one, one time we, we, I don't know. I think you played in the morning and I was playing the afternoon. Second day. I'm like, Hey, Pearl, how'd you do?

You know? And you were like, ah, I shot, you know, 70, 71, which is what a three under par. And I, I remember shooting like 68, 69. It was like seven under par. And I made like $320. Pearly made like $180. And the guy that won was a guy named Dick Mast, who beat, I was seven under par.

He was what? He shot 61, 62. Yikes. I'm like, somebody give me a ticket out of Florida. I thought it was windy for 36 holes. I didn't play great.

Orange tree, Pearl. You bet. Never forget. And I, and I didn't, I certainly didn't play great, but I didn't play bad.

I I'm only 20 back. It was a 36 hole. And here's the deal, meet. We had to put up how much did those tournaments cost us? I think 500.

It seems like a lot, but maybe it was, I don't, I tried to, I tried to, did like give me myself the electro cardio shock treatment and get that out of my brain forever, because it was such, I'm like, wait a minute. How are you guys beating us? And then we find out, meet these guys live for these events.

They don't even go anywhere else. Remember David Kneipp? Do you remember the name David Kneipp? This dude was like a kind of a fat, he was a good guy, but it was a good player, but he only played on like four courses.

You got played by a golf shark. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. And they played that area. You're right.

You're right, meet. And, and, you know, there was a couple of them that made it out of there. I can remember Aisinger playing some of those.

He clearly made it out of there. Mast certainly did well on regular tour, decent. And then had a decent senior tour. But to your point, Jay, very few of the guys made it out of there, just as we couldn't play the Bermuda, they couldn't play anything else. Anywhere else had four courses like, nope, that's out of our wheelhouse.

We're not. I'll tell you what, who I did play down there with, which is very, very fond memories. Cause I got to be a little bit friends and saw them through the years. And I can't, if you was Kenny Perry, I played with Kenny, Kenny and I played, I think our first professional tournament each, we played together at Cypress Creek. I made everything I looked at and hit every shot bad. Kenny hit every shot good. And missed everything he looked at.

He couldn't put it into the ocean back in those days. And his dad was Kenny and foremost, I think his dad did early in some of the tour events and just got to be, you know, I'll pretend I'm best friends with Kenny, but it was, it was fun through the years. He was always nice to come up and say hi and reminisce a little bit. And just one of those great guys on the tour. And we are talking about a guy that's made over $40 million now playing golf and he's got one shot meat and it's a duck hook or kind of a hook. Well, it's pretty good.

It's a big hook. He's also the kind of a classic guy that kind of had some perspective. He was a family guy and he wanted to work on his cars. He played golf so that he could raise a family and work on his cars.

He was also involved in his church a little bit, I think he liked that aspect. And so, uh, man, he is nice to see him do well. Yep. And he's also, uh, kicked a little, little tail on the champions tour as well. One of the senior open and things like that. So, um, well, let me give a quick recap on Phil Franks before we go to, um, the front nine.

Give us an update, remind us. Yeah. Phil's a CEO and founder of logistics.

So they do that legal work, uh, and legal documents for, for law firms. Um, he has a racing team and the racing team is the letter R the number two and E N D A L Z.org. So go to this website. It's a great website.

It's just on a gym. Nance has a great spot on there because as we all know, Jim Nance, his father was stricken with Alzheimer's and that's why Jim Nance started all of his broadcasts with hello friends because his dad was listening to him and wanted to know friends, but didn't know his own son's voice anyway. So Phil came on the show. The coolest thing is Phil has this opportunity.

You could do it right on his website to get to the name of your loved one, their birth date. They could be alive. They could have passed whatever you can memorialize them.

It's just a way of really trying to bring some, some attention to this cause. So Phil's that they've had three races since they've been on. And unfortunately it hasn't been, it's not been awful, but it hasn't been great. They, they had one race. Phil told me they're running first about midway through the race and they slowed down because there was some sort of shenanigans going on with another car. And somebody ran them right off the road and crashed the car, broke something called their like rear suspension, which, you know, I'm not a car guy. So that pretty much took them out of the race. They didn't even get any points. And then he went to Toronto and finished sixth and then they were at ninth in Connecticut.

And so they're currently 31 points out of first place with three races left. But more importantly, first of all, Phil Frings is a rock star. This guy is one cool dude.

Okay. And the other thing is they've got 60 names on the car. When we were doing our show, they had like 30 and their, their goal is 150. Anybody can put a name on there.

If this is important to them, it's, it's like a $200 donations tax deductible. It's a, it's a great cause praise, you know, the universe that you and I don't have anyone afflicted with this horrific illness. And, but Phil's doing and, and here's good folks. Why am I talking about Phil? And why are we even talking about this on a golf show? Because this guy loves and supports golf. And he uses golf in any way he can to bring awareness to these causes. And I love that. And creative guy, creative guy. And if we can help, you know, folks with this and bring more attention to his website, again, it's the letter R, the number two, E-N-D and A-L-Z.org. And it's a cool website. And he's got a, his, his main driver is a guy named Nick Gallant. He was a 2016 champion. And if you're a race, you love racing and you happen to want to look at that. They got some cool picks on there.

Nick's got to get 2016 back in his sights and have a great finish. Right on. Good. Right on.

So that's going to do it for the On The Range segment. Stay with us. This is Golf with Jay Delsing on 101 ESPN.

Welcome back. This is Golf with Jay Delsing. Jay and John are here to bring you this segment.

We call, excuse me, the front nine. Please reach out to us with your questions, comments, requests at jay at jaydelsinggolf.com. Each week if we read or select your email, we'll read it on air.

The winner will receive Golf for Two at Gateway National Golf Club, compliments of Walters Golf Management. Today's question is from Brad. Jay, I gotta laugh for this question. You can tell he's pretty frustrated here. His question is, what the heck do I do when I have a downhill lie?

Period, exclamation point. Right, right, right. That's the question. Okay, so Brad, first of all, thanks for the question. Second of all, as a general rule of thumb, try to get your shoulders matching up to the terrain that you're dealing with. So you got a downhill lie. I'm going to assume you're a right-handed golfer.

And assuming that you're a right-handed golfer, you're going to have to get your left shoulder considerably lower than your right. John, it's one of the things when we played on tour, we saw more good players screw this up than ever before. I remember us screwing it up in particular.

Who? I remember us. It was a team thing. Me? Even back then.

Are you saying I hit a bad shot? There wasn't too many guys that looked at it as a team, but you and I did. I think that's why we got along so well. Now it's popular. They all say we or my team, whatever.

But you and I did. Jay, what hole was that? It was a Tucson Nationals, a short par four, kind of downhill, slight dogleg left.

13. 13th hole. And I can remember you'd hit that five-wood, seemed like perfect. Every darn time you have, I don't know, 110-ish, 120-ish, something like that in there from that.

But a downhill hanging lie. I remember this specifically and hit it all over the place. Half the time it wasn't on the green. And I can remember after, I don't know, eight years doing it, I said, hey, let's have a different plan here and talk about it. And that was one of the starts of us planning those couple of shots or couple of holes that were so awkward.

But we talked specifically about this. And here's the deal. Downhill lie, ball moves forward, moves for right-handed golfers, moves toward your left foot. Uphill lie, shoulders go reversed.

Right shoulder lower than your left, ball back towards your right foot. Swing. Just swing after that. But stay with it and let the ball come out, quote, lower than your eye wants it to come out.

The problem was I think you would kind of get in there, be not parallel to the ground. And try to help it. In essence, help it up. We were dead. Dead, dead, thinner fat, thinner fat, and dead. So appreciate you remembering that Pearl. That's awesome. It was a dead frustrating.

Dead, brutal. Here's a birdie hole and we're making bogeys. God, that bag just got so heavy when we make bogey with the waves in our hands. I can remember looking back at Pearlie going, oh man, I feel like you were carrying a Volkswagen every once in a while. And then, on the other hand, when we were down in Alabama and I had the best round I've ever played on tour, I couldn't even keep up with you.

He's like the lead dog in the pack. I'm like, Pearlie, throw me my putter. It would be like 50 yards ahead of me. When you were rolling out, it was just so much fun to be in it. And you were rolling a lot.

It was fun times. But yeah, really getting with the hill, the side hills, plugging into that type of stuff, being a little bit more fair to yourself on the expectations, those all helped a lot. Okay, so back to answering Brad's question. Yeah, no, that's what it is. And then you've got to get used to swinging. You've got to just get used to it. It's a different little feel. When you've got that downhill lie, your backswing is going to feel much more like a chop. Because with your left shoulder lower than your right, the club's going to get lifted up abruptly. But it needs to, in order to swing down that ...

It feels abrupt relative to speaking, but it's not abrupt to the slope. Otherwise, if you don't do that, you're going to naturally bottom out a good, solid foot behind the ball, and nobody wants to do that. Yeah, that's exactly right. Nope. So Brad, that is the answer. Best of luck.

And get back to us and let us know how that works. You know what, Jay, a lot of times at the end of ranges, you can find a severe uphill or downhill lie. Go practice some of those on the range, too. Get a bit of a feel for it so that when you go on the course, it's not just as theoretical. And, Pearl, even off the side of the putting green, you get in there and just drop a couple balls, if they allow chipping on that putting green, and just feel that.

And you will not believe how beautifully your club will move through the grass once you get your shoulders the way they're meant to be. Yep, right on. Yeah, very good.

All right, so hey, we are moving to Whack and Chase. Is this your favorite part of this show or what? It is my favorite. It's just fun. It's fun to hear people's stories. It's fun to hear kind of where people's heads are at with things. I think we're starting to do a pretty good job asking questions, some kind of goofy, fun questions that got to get them out of their shell. And we've put some nice episodes together. Okay, cool.

So we'll let the people have their own opinions about our nice episodes. So we've modeled this idea after the popular show Car Talk, and we call it Whack and Chase. So let's go over to Whack and Chase right now.

All right, fellas, the people are loving Whack and Chase. Christo is this week's caller on the line right now. Hey, Christo, how are you? Very good. How are you guys doing today? Great, Christo.

Hey, thanks so much for calling into Whack and Chase. Where are you from, Christo? From Effingham, Illinois. Effingham, Illinois. We can be called from Effingham, Illinois. And we're big over there. We got to be big somewhere.

Exactly. Well, Christo, what's your question today? What are you kind of looking for for us to diagnose and Jay to solve?

Yeah, what can we help you? What's the most pressing thing you'd like help with your golf game? So right now, with my putting game, I tend to have a case of the yips. I have tried everything from changing my putter grip, trying to get a longer shaft on my putter, everything. But I can't seem to shake them from three foot putts to the other foot.

They just keep going around the hole. So no pun intended, shake the yips. Is that what you're trying to do here? I'm trying.

Exactly. Shake the yips. Have you tried Jack Daniels?

I have not. I have not tried that, but that might be good medication. Well, we'll leave that for plan B. But are you thinking the night before with the Jack Daniels, Jay, or the day of or during?

Oh, I'm thinking during and the day of. Okay, well sometimes that over the night before, you kind of put you in a place where you don't really care about anything. Really?

I've never felt like that, bro. Well, wait a second. Remember back in the college days when we were playing with my father about six o'clock in the morning at PV?

Oh yeah, and still having like a stamp on our hand for whatever coastal bar we were in. Okay, so Chris, so give us a little background, bud. Give us what's your handicap?

How tall are you? Just give us some things that we can hang our hat on over here. Gotcha. Yeah, that's pretty random. That leaves it wide open for you, Chris. So you can talk about like your elementary school teacher and you would be in the realm of what we just asked you. Well, we want to keep it vague over here.

We're not, I don't know how much you listen to this show, Krista, but we screw up our facts and we're, we're somewhere in the ballpark on some things, but not all of them. Right. So, so give you an idea on my physique. I'm five 11. I have a dad bod.

Uh, so, so not, not, not super fit, but not, not unfit, I would say. Um, and, uh, I, uh, I, you know, I'm a 10, probably 10, 11 handicap, uh, hit the ball decent. You know, my, my driver and irons are good. It's really the putter that holds me back.

That's good. How long you've been playing? Have you been playing golf most of your life and are you an athletic guy? Did you play other sports? Yes. Uh, I, I like to consider myself athletic.

I don't know other people consider me athletic. Are you married? Are you married crystal? I am. Yeah. Does your wife consider you athletic?

Uh, yes, but that's probably because she is not an athlete at all. Hopefully she's not listened. Good one. Good one. That's very good. Go. I'm sorry.

Go ahead. So, so, I mean, there's the one thing that the, uh, part I've been trying to claw recently, um, as opposed to just your typical putter grip and that's helped slightly, but it's, you know, I don't, I feel like I've lost my, the touch, you know, getting the ball it's either way past or way short with that. So Chris, so are you having the yips on 30, 40 foot putts as well? Um, from 30 or 40 foot, I don't even think I can really, you know, get it with him. I'm typically getting it maybe five feet. I don't get it close to five foot to the whole.

So it's not, I'm not getting it super close. So I don't even know if I can consider saying I'm getting the yips from there. It's mostly, I start to feel it when I'm, you know, within five, five foot of the hole. Is it all the time or just when you, do you ever play, are you playing tournaments or playing a Nassau with your buddies? Do you, if you're out there in the evening, just putting around or playing nine by yourself or something, do you yip it then or just when it matters? Yeah. So you, you know, when I, when I'm hitting for a double bogey, no, I don't usually have it.

It's usually I'm going for par and it's actually birdies. Okay. So it's, it's only a yip when it matters. Exactly. That's a big clue. That's a big clue. It absolutely is. And so, um, how long has this been going on? Uh, I w it's, it has, it has never been a part of my golf or never not been a part of my golf.

My hat is off to you for hanging in there, man. That is not a fun thing to play in other sports. You're playing other sports. Let's say you're shooting hoop or you're playing, I don't know, uh, uh, tennis or something like that. Do you find yourself yipping in those sports too?

Uh, no, I don't think so. And I, you know, I don't know if it's just the fact that golf is more of a head game, you know, you're not just, you know, with, with tennis, you know, I play, I play pickleball actually. Um, and with pickleball, you know, you're just kind of reacting to the ball.

And so you don't really have to think much. And I don't know if it's just the in between the ears that's, that's affected. There's a little between the ears. So how, how much of a freak out do you have before you even like, when does, when does the anxiety start hitting you other than when you get to the golf course in the morning? Cause I'm sure it's like in the back of your mind, but when does that anxiety and the Palm starts sweaty? When does that start happening when you're, uh, uh, on the putting green? I mean, as soon as you're in this occasion or when you've already say you hit a nice shot up there and, oh man, I got this three footer for birdie and already you're thinking, oh hell I can't make this thing.

Right. I would say that it's probably when I'm taking my practice swings on the green. So, you know, I I've read the, I've read it. I think I know where it's going to go, but I'm not feeling it then. But I say, right when I step over the top of the ball, uh, that's typically when it starts to, so it's kind of interesting. If you think about it, you hit the shot, you walk up there, you're kind of excited. You read it, you go through everything you're ready to go. And then you go, oh yeah, I got the yips. Is that basically how it goes? That's exactly how it goes.

Oh dude. I'm thinking he should run up and hit it like super fast before he has time. Like Chevy and Fanana.

He's definitely a Fanana guy. I mean, I say you read the green when you're walking up from like 10 or 15 yards, you look at the other guys and say, I'm going to, I'm putting out. Yeah. Well, the nice thing is, uh, Chris, so they changed rules of golf for you. So you don't even have to take the flag out.

You can just walk and go. Yeah. Well, let's see. Here's what I'm going to say. There's no other going to say, no, no, no.

If, if there's, um, first of all, let me ask you another question. What's worse, the anxiety that you're going to have the yips or missing the putt. I've had the yips before and what happened, the mental crapola that I put myself through. And for me, Chris, so it would happen on my way to the course. I'd be like, I cannot, I do not want to putt. I hate putting. And I love typically, I love to putt, but I've been in that mode.

I'm like, oh man, you just almost can't hit it close enough. You know? So what's worse. Are you running through this whole movie in your head about, Oh man, I got the yips before you hit the book. Yeah. Yeah. Um, that's a great question. Um, Hmm. I, that, that's really hard to answer. I, I'd say, you know, it happens both ways, but I would say that, you know, whenever I have a, if I, if I put the ball within five foot and I have an, a birdie opportunity, I know when I'm riding in the cart, that I have the yips.

That I have the yips and yeah, this is like, this is like, they're going to get really close, but probably not drop. Okay. So I got a question. I got another question for you. Stand up right now. You're right-handed right? Yes.

Okay. So Chris, so basically right hand jumpy on the putter or left hand, I'm assuming right hand. We repeat that right hand, or is it your right hand or your left hand?

It gets jumpy on the putter as you come through. Like where it's my, it would be, I would think it's my, I think it's my left hand. I think he's thinking it's his brain and you're talking about left hand and right hand. Yeah, I know. Well, there's a couple of components to this. Okay. Cause I'm assuming, you know, most people from Effingham aren't completely certifiable and crazy other than maybe you, right, Pearly?

No. So here's, here's what I'm going to say. I'm, I'm 99% convinced that the yips Christo are all created out of aiming poorly. So what I mean by that is your putter is not aimed where you want it to be aimed.

I agree with this. And what happens is you want, you know, your brain knows where you want this ball to go. And the only way you have a chance of making this thing is to make some sort of strange, weird opening.

I'm assuming it's opening. Typically it's opening of the putter. It's like a subconscious move to correct the putter. Right.

And it absolutely is. And so what I want you to do, if it's your left hand or right hand, it gives you the trouble stand up right now and mimic a putting motion and you can move your hands through that area and it won't flinch. I'm a, I'm a hundred percent sure that what happens is it gets you get a ball down in front of you. Then you get a putter in your hand and all of a sudden you have this, Oh man, I'm playing an old tape that says I got the yips. So the first thing I would do is I would go on the putting green and I would get a sharpie line on my ball.

So have you seen those lines on your ball that you can get Chris? No, that you can. Yep. Okay. So do that, but do not in any way, shape or form putt towards a hole. Just all I want you to do. I don't want you to have the fear of making or missing the putt.

I want you to just roll this ball. Okay. Okay.

But the reason why the line is going to do twofold, but it's going to, it's going to make you line. Do you have an arrow or a dot or something on the top of your putter to help you with aim? Yep. An arrow or a line. Yeah.

Cool. So you match those two lines up. And the first thing you're going to notice is that that doesn't look right when you match them up. I promise you you're, I'd say you got an 85% chance of aiming too far left. I have seen people with the same too far, right?

But not very often. Typically it's, it's, it's too far left. So you're too open, but whichever it is, when you line those, that putter and that line on that ball up and you look at that relationship with the putter and the ball, you're going to go, what?

No way. You're going to go, this is, this is, this is a whole new world. And what we want for you, bud is a whole new world. Cause the old world you're living in sucks, right?

The old world putter sucks. And so what I want you to do, it could be that easy and you could start rolling the ball. Great immediately.

Okay. If you don't and you may not, then I want you to try a couple of things. First of all, check your grip pressure and your putter. I'm also going to bet barely a dollar that you are squeezing the living tar out of that putter grip. I bet it is, especially as you get a little more conscious of these, of these yips. I want you to, I want you to test that.

And if 10 is a white knuckle and as hard as you can grab it in a one is this putter is going to fall out of my hand. I want you to go in like a three or four. Okay. Wow. The first thing that's going to do for you, Chris. So it's going to relax all these muscles that are so tense, some dynamic and so tight. And, and I want you to swing that, that putter head with no ball in the way and just watch it swing.

Okay. And watch it swing. And then the next thing you're going to have to do is try to hit some putts with your eyes closed or have hit some putts looking at the hole and hit and actually hit putts, hit contact.

You will not yip. Spieth was putt may or may be the best of anybody in the world. And he was doing that for a while.

So that's a very legitimate thing. The other thing to remember is our brains can only hold one thought at a time. So your thought is something like smooth ice, cool, whatever. You don't let yip come into, into your mindset. So as soon as you hit that shot, close to the hole, all you're thinking is smooth, smooth, smooth, or whatever makes you feel good. And then do all the other things Jay said.

And like you said, we're 99% sure. So if you're that one percenter, Cristo, I don't know what to say to you. But the other thing is if you're standing over the putt and you get those thoughts, run into your run over to a golf cart and get a wedge. And I seriously don't want to get a beer.

I want to get two beers. You have two hands. That's why you have two hands and Cristo grab your wedge. And I want you to, I would much prefer you to try to belly this thing with a wedge than try to hit those putts with a yips in your brain. You'll get a wedge in your hand and go.

All of a sudden I don't yip because you'll be so focused on trying to hit that ball solidly that the yips gotta be. So if you can remember all this stuff, your goal is nothing else. We changed the music in your head. That's what we're after here. Thanks a lot, Cristo. Does that sound like something you can do?

No, it certainly does. You know, I am a little disappointed. I was hoping for just free advice. Now I'm gonna have to go buy one of those line things for my ball, but I think it'll be well worth it. So I do appreciate it, guys. Actually, you don't have to. You could just free hand the line on there.

You only need it about an inch long and it's a little wobbly. Who cares? It's a little squiggly. I have the, I have the yips.

Don't you know, I can't draw with your marker. That's for a different show. Appreciate it, guys. Thank you. Bye bye. Well, Cristo, that was phenomenal. Thanks for calling in. Pearl, that was fun. That's why we're doing whack and chase right there. That was just to get a story or two, have some fun. Cristo had some fun with it.

I really appreciated his time and Cristo had a serious mental mind bender going on. Here's a guy hitting good drives. He said good iron shots and then just you get into that funk.

But the advice that you gave him is right. And it could really help him enjoy golf that much more. Yep. We hope it does. Well, that's going to wrap up the front nine.

Now back to more golf with Jay Delsing on 101 ESPN. Welcome back to Golf with Jay Delsing. This is Jay Delsing, got my buddy Pearly here with me and we are on the back nine. Pearly and I gotta thank Whitmore Country Club for being the title sponsor of our show.

Man, I feel like we know these guys well. 90 holes of golf at Whitmore. If you join Whitmore, you get privileges at the Missouri Bluffs, the links of Dardeen and the Golf Club of Wentzville. The card feeds are included in that membership and 90 holes of golf.

Their holiday parties are rocking out there. There's picnics, date nights, live music.

There's also junior golf, junior tennis, swim teams available for the kids. It's basically all about the family out of Whitmore. It's all about the family.

Plus, Jay, if you want to learn how to play golf and you're playing a bunch of different golf courses, that helps a lot. No doubt about it. Then we got to talk about Bummer, our boy Bummer. We got to get Bummer back on the show. Great guy. He's in the golf shop. He's the assistant pro. He is terrific.

He'll tell you about the golf leagues, his skins, games, and member tournaments and things like that. Call Whitmore at 636-926-9622. Yeah, Whitmore has been great and we appreciate their support.

Let's go back. We got another version of Whackin' Chase. You guys are going to have to pay for some long distance rates.

A call all the way from Dallas for Whackin' Chase. Hey, Patrick, thanks for joining us. Dallas, Texas, huh? Well, yeah, it's a little bit, a little bit hotter than where you guys are, isn't it? Yeah. Hey, really appreciate you calling in.

Thanks for joining us. Patrick, what's your question for Jay? Where do you need the most help in your golf game?

Well, you probably get this question quite a bit, but I would say, you know, hitting from the top and then coming over the top. I mean, that's definitely my biggest problem without question. So, tell us a little bit about what's your handicap and a little bit about your golf game so Jay can kind of get a feel for kind of what level you're at. My handicap, probably about a 20. I've been playing for three or four years. Picked it up just to, you know, to meet people at the local club.

How's that going? Have you met anybody fun? I have.

I've met a lot of people. There's a lot of fun to be had on the golf course, right? There is, absolutely.

Absolutely. Well, where do you go from there, Jay? So, you shoot, so, so are we talking predominantly, Patrick, about tee shots? Your driver, or is it basically you have this sense that you're kind of throwing the club from the top, you know, with everything in the bag? Everything.

It's worse, it's worse with the driver, but yeah, everything. So, just real briefly then, give us a hint of what, what the ball is doing. High, low, fade, pull, slice. What's, what's happening?

Well, I wish it did the same thing every time. So, what'd you call that, Jay? Hang on one second, Patrick. Jay had a name for that.

When I'd caddy for him on the tour, and we'd have one of these guys, not like you, that said there, you know, an eight handicap, and after about five holes, the guy showed us every shot in the book, except for the one that went near the hole. What'd you call that, Jay? We'd call it, we, we, we'd call it what he did. He had it stuck on widespread with his eggbeater, baby. I was going to get to that.

We'd have it on widespread. You know how you have that little nozzle on your, on your little spray can where you can focus your little pinpoint thing, and then the other one goes like in all directions, and then, you know, that's basically kind of what an eggbeater does. Although an eggbeater does, however, shoot one straight every once in a while.

Well, so is the clock, right, once in a while. But, tell us a little bit more about yourself. Are you an athletic, are you an athletic guy? Are you currently in shape? How much golf are you playing?

Tell us a little bit about where you stand right now. Yeah, I'm, I probably have an athletic build. You know, I mean, I, I lift, lift weights and, and whatnot, but I probably play nine holes really once a week, if that.

No more than that. What sports, what sports have you played in the, in the, in the past, Patrick? Mostly just running. I was a runner.

Nothing with, with a bat or a swing, which I imagine is part of my problem. Well, so that's interesting. That's really, really tough to take on this challenge. How old are you? Ballpark, if you don't like to share your age, but how old are you? I'm 34.

So you go all these years and you didn't really play kind of a, you know, a bat and ball type of a sport before, and then you jump into it. So I think that's absolutely awesome. Yeah, there's no question. And a 20 handicap? You should be proud of that. I got to tell you, Patrick, I don't know if you know this or not, but 1% of all the people that play golf can break a hundred. Is that right?

I mean break 80, sorry, can break 80, 1% of all the people can break 80. So the fact that, you know, where you're, where you're playing is, is very, very good. And then after this, uh, solve on, on whack and chase here, man, we're talking about, you'll be a 21. Will you be a 25 or not?

So no. Have you taken any lessons, Patrick, or how do you even go about it when you get out there? Well, uh, and Patrick, how's your equipment? How up to date are you on your equipment? Um, I had purchased new clubs a couple of years ago. Um, you know, my, uh, my driver is actually a loner, uh, from my father who, who plays, um, but other than that, I mean, my, my irons are, you know, a few years old.

Okay. And do you take lessons or how do you, how did you learn the game to this point? Well, I just kind of went out there and started swinging the club. Really?

That's awesome. Well, you liked that Jake, cause you kind of wanted to be batting ball. Just go play.

No, I do like that because that, that starts your authentic swing in motion. And the thing is when you start and you're 10 or 12 years old, Patrick, and you've watched, you know, Tiger Woods play on TV and things like that. It's one thing when you start, you said you're 34, you've been playing a few years. So you started at 27 to 30.

Your body is you, you have all sorts of already preconceived ideas in there that you can't, you know, physically do. So what's, what's the best shot you've ever hit in, in golf? Oh, um, I mean, every once in a while I'll hit a, you know, an iron.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Patrick, Patrick, we want to know the best shot you've ever hit. Have you ever made one from off the green or made a long putt? Tell us about it. I have hit a hole in one. I have hit a hole in one.

Okay. So what's your face look like? Were you like, Holy, how did that happen?

I mean, get the surprise look off my face. Or did you just pass out right on the tee? No, we were, I was actually playing with my dad and, uh, we were the only people on the course. It seemed like, except they paired us with this other guy. So he was there and he was taking photos.

I mean, he was more excited than we were. That's awesome. How long was the whole, what iron did you hit or what club did you hit? Oh my gosh.

Uh, it was like 135 probably. And I hit an eight iron. I remember that. Congratulations. Congratulations. Yeah. Thank you.

So what's the best sports event other than your hole in one that you've ever been involved in or just pops to your head, maybe you weren't involved in it, but you just got to watch it. Oh, wow. Man, that's a really good question. That put me on the spot. I like to throw these people off a little bit.

Jay's over on the ground, gasping for air, laughing over here. Patrick, I'm thinking it's a damn good question too, because I'm trying to get back to the microphone. That's good.

That is really good. Well, no, I want to get a sense of what's going on here. I let, first of all, first of all, think about it. Patrick was struggling to remember the best shot he ever hit.

Then he says, oh yeah, I got a hole in one. So this, this question, that was easy. This one is a little harder, but right.

Not that much harder. No. So kind of, so dig into any sport that you can remember. What kind of pops out in your head that was just a really great sport thing you were involved in or did you get to see? I saw Butler play Duke for the national championship in person.

I remember that game. In person. Good for you.

In person. Yeah. Good for you. That last shot was amazing. It just rimmed out. That's awesome. That's awesome. That, that was definitely a great basketball.

NCAA finals are always fantastic. Okay. So Jay, what else do you need to know from Patrick to, to get to a solve here? No, nothing. I've already got, I've already got something. I think it's really, really going to help him. Should we go ahead? I think you're going to solve.

I think he's ready. Patrick, I got to tell you, the thing that you've got to do is incorporate your lower body. How far, how far do you typically hit a drive? You said you're an athletic build, you're how far do you typically hit a drive?

Typically to 200. I mean, yeah. And that, that, that doesn't, how does that, how does that grab you? How does that make you feel? Not good. Yeah. Not so good. So Patrick, what we've got to do is incorporate your lower body into this golf swing.

Okay. We've got to get you using the bigger muscles from your shoulders through your knees, the, the, the, the core part of your body. We've got to get your quads in there.

We've got to get your, get you turning through there. And when you throw or, or swing from the top too much, it's typically comes with like a reverse pivot. Meaning when you come through the ball, I bet you're going to feel like your left hip almost goes backwards.

When you come down through there and you wind up kind of with a lot of weight be on your right side and kind of behind the ball. What we want you to do, what I want you to do is Google or YouTube, either Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods hitting a driver and watch their lower body. And one of my favorites, and you could do this as well, is Sam Snead, an old sequential shot of Sam Snead.

So Patrick, check this out. Sam Snead out of gorgeous swings. He's still the record holder for the most number of wins on the PGA tour at 82.

That's going to be surpassed by Tiger Woods eventually. But anyway, but anyway, so by the time that he got Oh, sorry, I had a little momentary senior moment here. But so when Sam, Steve was winding up and his backswing, his hips started moving through the ball, and he would still have seven more frames on this video of his club going backwards. So what he was doing, Patrick was building up a dynamic, okay, swing, I know your swing has no dynamic, everything is getting thrown from the top and thrown right at the ball in your hips are just kind of staying in place. I'm imagining is that does that seem familiar?

Absolutely. Okay, but so what I want you to do is take there's a couple things you have a step drill. So you start with your insert with any club in your bag. But start with like a seven iron, put the ball, put your feet together, and the ball in between your left and right foot.

So the ball is going to be there. And on your backswing, start making your backswing. And when the club gets to waist high on your backswing, start taking a step to your left with your left foot.

It's going to be so weird. But basically, it's going to be getting your hips engaged early, early, early in this swing. That builds up to dynamic causes that torque that you need. And to Jay's point, when you see the pictures of those guys, he just talked about the video, you will see that their belt buckles almost pointing at the target before they make contact. That's where you build up that torque and all that power, right?

Jay, is that what you have to do? Patrick, it's that simple. Plug into those videos, it'll literally take you a minute, and then go out there and work on what we call the step drill, and then soften the hell out of your hands, wrists, and arms.

Soften those up so that those hands, wrists, and arms can do whatever the hell they want to do coming through the ball. And look, you're going to be a 10 handicap before you know it. Maybe a five. Well, thanks, Patrick. Appreciate you being a good sport. Thanks for the great stories, and good luck with- A nice hole in one, Patrick.

What the- There's a lot of players that are single digit, play their whole life to never get one. So congratulations on that. That's a big deal. Way to go, and it had to be extra fun doing it with your dad.

Yeah. Hey, thanks, guys. See you, Patrick. Bye-bye, Patrick.

Well, thanks to Patrick for calling in. That was fun. And Patrick hole in one with his dad- It's so funny. When I asked the question, what's the best golf thing that ever happened?

He didn't remember. I was like, oh yeah, I made a hole in one. I mean, come on. That's great stuff. Well, that's going to wrap up the back nine. We'll be headed into the 19th hole after these messages. This is Golf with Jay Delsing.

Mike Duffy's Pub and Grill, the best burgers in town since 1986. Well, thanks for staying staying with us. This is golf with Jay Delsing. We've just finished 18 holes and we are on the 19th hole. I'm your host, Jay Delsing. Got my buddy, Pearly. John Pearly's here with us.

And Pearly, we've got our buddy, Mike Duffy, the official sponsor of our 19th hole. We've got our second date arranged to go to the Richmond Heights store on August 23rd from 5 to 7 or later. You and I have been known to stay a little longer, a little longer, but we are going to have some games this time. My father always used to tell me, leave when the party's still going strong. Don't wait to the end. My wife never wants to do that. I always want to do that. You always want to leave while the party's going strong? Absolutely. Oh my God, I want to go.

I want to help people pick up all the stuff that's left on the floor or maybe eat some of it. Oh, you're no kidding. Oh man, that's hard to believe that we got along as well as we have with those kind of... Yeah, because I also have the two-minute warning in effect. When I'm tired, two-minute warning. You can fall asleep standing up.

Well, a buddy of mine from Michigan told me this high school buddy, Alan, really, really great guy. And he would call a two-minute warning. And he wouldn't be mad or anything, but he would just say to his wife, two minutes. That means within two minutes, he's going to be sleeping somewhere. If she said, hey, I'm going to have a good time, we're not leaving. He's looking for a closet. And he would just lay down and go to sleep.

And she would have to find him like an hour later, try to get him up or drag him out to the car. And it worked out good. I liked that.

And that was a good attitude. Hey, this next Mike Duffees, we might have a live kind of a spontaneous whack and chase. We don't know what we're going to have, but I will promise you we're going to have some games. We're going to have some giveaways.

What's one of the games you're talking about? Well, there's this beer pong golf chipping game that I bought that it's going to be fun. Explain it a little bit. So you got to chip the balls into these little areas. And if you chip it into this area, you get, you know, I'll buy you a beer. Okay. And if you don't, I'll buy you two beers. So I want to talk a little bit about the FedEx Cup.

Okay. One of the coolest things about being a modern day tour player is okay, so let me ask you this. I know you follow golf. I know you may or may not know about the FedEx Cup. Do you have any idea what the total spend is for FedEx on the FedEx Cup with a PGA Tour? This is not this is just this purse.

I'm not talking about stuff. So if you are involved as a PGA Tour player in the FedEx Cup, how much are you playing for? How much are you playing for? Not a clue. I have no clue.

Take a guess. And then double it. Five million.

And you doubled it? Oh, no, I'm sorry. I know they win 10 at the end.

So sorry. 20 million. 60 million dollars. Wow. 60 million.

The winner of the FedEx Cup this year gets 15 million. I remember when it was 10, which is unbelievable number. Now it's 15. Unbelievable. Yikes.

But the party doesn't end there. I know you like to go home a little early, so you might miss the fact that there's the Wyndham Top 10. Do you know what the Wyndham Top 10 is? So what's the Wyndham Top 10?

Yeah, no, I don't know what it is. It is a deal that Wyndham Hotels, who actually is a title sponsor for the last event before the FedEx Cup playoffs start, down at Sedgefield, down at Greensboro. Cool course, cool tournament, great history in Greensboro. They throw in 10 million dollars for the top 10 people in the FedEx Cup standings to split. The top 10 finishers in FedEx, or at the time of their tournament? No, top 10 finishers.

Wow. So that means you win the FedEx Cup and you get 15. Wyndham over here is going to throw you two. If you just happen to, you know, just you straight into the 10th place spot for the FedEx Cup, you get 500 grand. And how much from Wyndham? No, 500 grand from Wyndham. Oh, that's that even. And how much from FedEx? I gotta look for my info book.

Probably another million or two million or so. No, I got it. Oh, it's huge money and I've got it right here somewhere. So Jay, how do you even relate to that from when you played? By the way, you didn't play that many years ago and those numbers were nowhere near the vicinity. It used to be exciting when there's a car for a hole in one and the car was worth about $9,250.

Exactly, and then you didn't get it because if you didn't make it on Sunday. So you asked me how much money is 10th place worth in the FedEx Cup? Yeah. $900,000. And then he went another half million from Wyndham. Yep. And he went another half million from Wyndham. That's a pretty good year right there. Yeah. And then we're not finished with all the fun.

What else is there? Aeon, which is a phenomenal company. I've known some top executives, the Donnie brothers. Tim and Tom Donnie are great friends of mine, great supporters of the game of golf. Love the Evans Scholarship Foundation.

Aeon is a risk management insurance company. So they figured this out. They've donated a million bucks on the LPGA and the PGA tours. They've designated 65 holes throughout the year.

They're going to compile everybody's score. Whoever scores the lowest on those 65 holes will get $1 million. 65 holes.

So do we know what those holes are? Yeah. Oh yeah.

Can you look it up somewhere? Oh yeah, for sure. And it's just random holes throughout the year.

Because they want the strategy or our favorite President Bush, the strategery of the whole thing involved. So we're going to have some strategery and then you got to figure out the odds and you got to do all that and you're going to get a million bucks. What if you don't play all those holes? What if you don't make the cut? Yeah, if you don't make the cut. What if you didn't get in the tournament? Then you're out?

Well yeah, you don't qualify. Well I mean it's kind of interesting. Think about it. I know. Somebody could be checking everybody's button and not play one of the holes.

Well yeah, I mean there's got to be a minimum number of it. Anyway, the bottom line is what a great deal to be a PGA tour player right now. Yeah, incredible. Come on. It's fantastic. Man, where the hell did this show go? This show just flew by. It was really fun. Pearly, thank you for being with me again.
