Thoughts from Pebble: -18th hole is the hardest hole in golf 😬🤦🏻‍♂️ -Really up and down week… Swing felt really good at times and really bad at times. I don’t feel like I’m too far off but not sharp either. Will work on my swing with Sean and try and get it going this week. -My short game was consistently bad though haha 😅. Couldn’t figure out the bunkers very well, and chipping was off. Not technique wise, just off with my touch. -Speaking of which, a tip for all you amateurs. You have to open the face when hitting bunker shots. The leading edge just digs way too much when you keep that face square. When you open the face, it doesn’t dig as much and you can release it more which is a better motion overall. -My amateur partners were great to play with. Thomas and Michael were both really nice guys and I hope they enjoyed their time. The weather the first two days were really great. Pebble in good weather is so so sick. -Good part is that my putting has definitely improved from last yr. I had a little trouble with greens being so slow this week but I’m finding my groove with my putting way more than last yr.

Width and body turn are really important in the backswing. Many ams think they have a full turn only because the club gets to parallel but in reality, they barely get any turn. It’s a lot of “fake” turn. First swing is a demonstration of how it can look like the club gets to parallel but with small body turn. When I “unfold” my arms, the club is only at hip length. The second is the opposite. Some think I’m trying to keep a short backswing when in actuality my body is turning really full with width and no wrist cock. I can get to “parallel” really easily with some wrist cock.

No tweets last two days cuz I was doing my day job with my coach/boss Sean Foley. First swing is what I’m trying to feel. Really get to my right side, stay there during the transition and then go thru. Reason for this is I have a tendency to pull really hard with my arms and shift too early in the transition causing the club to get too far out. Then to get it back inside, I side bend late which causes too much flipping.

Made a video on hip turn as promised! It’s a bit long but hopefully this will help you guys a bit. Plus a 🧵 on some additional swing info. I’ll answer some ?s about this video if you got any. (Don’t be too 🤯 at the transition effect in the middle of the vid) Happy Kevin Streelman??

Made a video explaining some of the advice I’ve been giving out the last couple days. I even had to subscribe for Twitter blue to post a long video 😂 hopefully you guys like this and if it gets a lot of likes I’ll post my favorite chipping drill that I do as a follow up

Had a blast filming this with the Range team last month. These guys are doing something really different in wealth management, and honestly, the shoot was way more fun than most of my sponsor obligations Call me Leonardo Di Kim 😂
