Butchy.
Hey.
What’s up?
Oh, you missed the green, uh?
Well, what do ya got? You can hit this.
Yeah. I mean, fine. I’ll just go over it.
It’s cool.
Over it? That’s too easy. Anybody can go over it.
Just hit it through it. Let me see what you got there.
Okay, fine.
Let’s challenge it.
I’ve seen it. I know how to play it.
That’s true, and you played a good shot,
but let’s talk about how you played the shot,
and why you played it.
For me, I would say this is a pretty generic pitch shot.
You’re not trying to make it too complicated,
although we have a golf cart in front of us.
But, that kind of gives us a little bit of a window.
So, you’re really just working on
controlling trajectory here.
So what mechanical things do you try and do?
Big thing is not a whole lot of hinge in the wrists.
There’s not much turn on the way back.
I like that.
But, then the way through, the body continues to rotate,
and then I like to think about the chest kinda
finishing at the target.
That’s really good too, because the average guy at home,
they just stand so still and just slap at it
with their hands, It’s kinda, this.
And they’ve got no chance.
Alright let’s see it.
So, not much turn, then turn through the ball.
[Rickie] Wasn’t too bad.
[Butch] Yeah, it was alright. Pretty good shot.
Why don’t you hop in, I’ll hit another one through.
Sure, no problem at all. You got this, right?
Yeah. I got another ball right here.
You’re okay with this right?
Yeah, for sure.
How’s this right here? Good?
That’s perfect.
See ya.
