Stop Aiming Around Your Miss And Start Owning Your Ball Flight

Your “high draw” might be a pull hook wearing a costume. We unpack the hidden role of alignment—how where you aim can mask your true club path and face—and why one honest session indoors can save you from that single catastrophic drive that ruins a card. Sparked by Chris Godderup’s leftward aim and deadly push cut, we explore how unconventional setups can thrive when they match your delivery, and how to figure out your own “square” so start lines and curvature work for you instead of against you.

We share a real‑world driver story: a player with a 7–8 degree left path who swore he was drawing it, only to discover on the launch monitor that his “draw” came from aiming way right and watching a pull hook bend back. That revelation leads to practical steps any golfer can use: put a stick directly at the target, learn your ball’s start line, and use simple feedback to dial in path and face. We get tactical about posture (pressure under the balls of your feet), small grip adjustments to fine‑tune curve, and why pros always practice with alignment aids while most amateurs wing it—and pay for it.

If indoor sims feel tougher, that’s because a fixed screen keeps you honest. Use that to your advantage. Map your tendencies across driver, irons, and wedges, then choose start lines and clubs that shrink dispersion instead of relying on compensations that only work when timing is perfect. Fewer penalty balls, more fairways, calmer swings under pressure—that’s the payoff when aim and delivery finally match.

Winter Golf And Pro Tours Return

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Measured Golf Podcast, where you, the listener, sit down, join me, Michael, as we discuss all things golf. And it's still snowy, it's still winter. And I know as a golfer listening to this podcast, we are counting down the days until the weather gets warm, the birds are chirping, and we are back outside playing golf. So we're still a little bit away from that here in the great state of Michigan, uh, probably a month or two away. But luckily, there is hope. We are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. And what's kind of keeping us golfers sane, at least me for that matter, is we've got golf back on TV. And we've got the DP World Tour going, we've got the PGA tour going, we've got the Live Golf League back. Uh, so we've got plenty of golf for us sicko's that love to really immerse ourselves in golf. And it's it's really interesting out there right now. It's it's cool to see Chris Godderup kind of going on this bit of a run, who kind of has a unique approach to the game. But I think there's some really cool things uh that Chris Goderup does that we don't see a lot of other tour players out there doing. And right, wrong, or indifferent, depending on your belief system and how you feel about the golf swing. One of the most unique things about Chris Goderup is the fact that it's pretty well documented that he aims with his feet fairly left of his targets. Probably, if I had to put a number on it, I mean, he's probably lining up somewhere between, you know, 20 to 40 yards left of his target and kind of hitting these push cuts out there a little bit. But obviously doing it at a high level, having two wins already this year on the PGA tour, kind of becoming more of a household name within the golf community, and really kind of doing it his way. And I think very similar to how Scotty Scheffler's footwork footwork was in question early doors. I think a lot of people look at Chris Goddard up from a uh traditionalist viewpoint and go, well, you know, he aims the left, the swing gets really narrow in transition, uh, it really kind of gets steep early. You know, there's a lot of things there that I don't know that as a golf coach, a lot of the industry is teaching, but it's working really well for him. And I find it fascinating. I always like when somebody goes out there and has success doing something differently. So, right before doing this podcast, uh, I was working with a young man on his chipping and pitching. Obviously, that was inside because of the snow situation outdoors. And we do a lot of chipping and pitching here at Measured Golf in Ann Arbor on our putting green, and we've got basically 3,000 square feet of kind of indoor kind of practice space, uh, which is a really tight turf for putting, but we do a lot of chipping off of it. And with a traditional grip, this young man was really just not doing very well with the the pitching of the golf ball. He could chip it fine, kind of low runners, uh, but when it came to trying to elevate the golf ball, he didn't really have a ton of success. And one thing that I kind of wanted to play around with him with was we we put him crosshand and we had him do it, and I'm actually going to post this a little bit later on to our Instagram. So if you're new to the podcast or if you're unfamiliar, but have an Instagram. Uh, we have our own Instagram at Measured Golf where you can find some pretty cool stuff. But I also have my own Instagram at the forceplate guy. So the forceplate guy. You can find me there on Instagram. I'm gonna post a video of this young man chipping, but or I'm sorry, pitching. But we went cross-handed with him. Once again, not something that is really all that previous prelevant in the golf space. But once we went cross-handed with him, he really had a lot of success getting the ball up and kind of hitting some nice floaty spinners off of a very tight lie with a sand wedge. So, you know, I'm always I'm always willing to do something different in the name of better and creating not only a better ball flight, but a more consistent pattern for these young people. So um really cool stuff that Chris is doing with his alignment and how he kind of gets it around the golf course his own unique way. But I also am reminded of a conversation I had uh maybe either earlier today or yesterday with somebody who I know fairly well and play a lot of golf with. And he recently got a new driver, uh, same shaft, new head, and he comes in and he travels a fair amount and has been out playing golf a fair amount, and he was telling me how much he loves this new driver. And I was thinking to myself, yeah, this is probably a good match for him. It was a ping uh 440 LST seven and a half degree. And the thing that I know about this player, because I've watched him hit several golf balls in here at Measured Golf on our simul on our track man simulators, is that his club path is about seven or eight degrees left. Now, I don't have a coaching relationship with this person. We just play a lot of golf together, and that's kind of how he does it. Um, has a pretty significant sports background, good athlete, uh, really hits it hard, probably has a ball speed. Uh, I would say probably in the 175 neighborhood, but is seven or eight degrees left. And I was talking to him about the driver, and I was kind of questioning the loft, even though I understand how that's going to help him with the spin, because as somebody who swings it seven to eight degrees left, he tends to hit a lot of fades. Uh, and that's kind of how he gets it around the golf course. He definitely kind of pulls it, you know, from a target line perspective. He definitely starts it left and likes to work the ball to the right. So obviously, a fade is going to be spinning a bit more than a draw. So the seven and a half degrees, I totally understand how that helps with the spin scenario, but it makes me wonder if he's going to be able to control the starting direction of that as well as his previous driver that had a bit more loft. So we were having a conversation about this, and he goes, Yeah, I'm hitting high draws. And I was like, What? And he goes, Yeah, I'm hitting high draws with it. And I looked at him and I was like, dude, there's absolutely zero way that you are hitting high draws with your swing, unless you've been like, you know, cheating on me and going to somebody else instead of me and taking golf lessons, like something significantly would have had to have changed for you to hit high draws. So he goes, No, man, I'm hitting high draws with this thing. And he's pretty serious about it. So I'm like, all right. So we throw him on the track, man. And when you know it, everything is starting substantially left because the club path is eight degrees left. And it led to a very interesting conversation. And I thought to myself, this might be a good conversation uh for the podcast as well. So here we go. The reason that he thinks he is hitting high draws on the golf course is because he is, and it's not dissimilar from Chris Goderup hitting these push cuts. If you kind of look at what he's doing, right, Chris Goderup is aiming 40 yards left. So Chris doesn't really start it at his target, it starts a bit right. So if the ball is starting right of the target line where he's aimed, okay, that is a push. And then generally the ball flight that Chris Godderup has is a cut. It works left to right. That's a push cut. But when we put that onto the golf course, it's just a cut because he's aimed so far left that he gets the ball to start left of where he wants the ball to finish, and then it cuts and lands on the target line that he's picked. So when we get outside and we get into reality, all of a sudden he's hitting a you know normal fade, more or less, which is launching in the right windows and spinning in the right windows, which is why Chris is having so much success on the PGA tour and driving the golf ball incredibly well, doing it his way. Now, going back to my friend that I was just talking about, who's convinced he hits high draws, because when he goes outside and plays golf, yes, he sees a high draw. He hits the ball very, very high, tends to be a little down, as you might imagine, being eight left with his club path. So he hits a lot of higher shots that have a lot of spin. And he's been seeing draws lately. Now, interestingly enough, when we had him on track man, and he's swinging it eight degrees left, he actually was pounding some pole cuts. Because when we line him up straight, the ball, because the path is so far left and the face is pretty much square, if not slightly closed to the path, that ball is starting left and curving left. It is a pull hook. Okay, it's finishing left of the target. So the interesting thing about this is that my friend is really kind of the opposite end of the spectrum of Chris Goddard up. So Chris is aiming 40 yards left, let's say, just using a round number, not saying that's 100% spot on. It could be more, it could be less. But my friend is aiming, let's say, 40 yards to the right. So now all of a sudden, he's swinging it on the golf course, and now he's seeing that ball start a little bit right of his target line. Okay, not left, even though he's still making the same swing. He's seeing that ball start more right because he's aimed substantially to the right, and then because he's hitting a pull hook, he's seeing a draw. So I think that's kind of an interesting thing to look at. And you know, I was having a conversation with Aram, my trainer, about this uh earlier today, and he was asking me why that matters, why I'm so infatuated with that. And I think that this is really a common thing for a lot of golfers that they just don't understand their alignments. And he's like, Well, he's like, maybe they don't understand their alignment, but the ball is still in the fairway. And he's right, he's absolutely right. The ball is in the fairway until it isn't. And now all of a sudden, we have to start thinking about what happens when we hit the dreaded straight ball. Now, if you're Chris Godderup, you've got a pattern that's pretty locked in, and I don't know what his track mandator is. I'm not going to pretend that I do and throw a bunch of numbers out there. But generally speaking, if I had to guess, I would say Chris Goderup has probably got a club path a little more to the right, which is generally why he would aim left. And then he probably hangs the face a little bit. So instead of having a club face that is probably a couple degrees close relative to target line, and then having a path slightly more left than that to hit his cut, I would say he's kind of hitting more of a push cut. And because he's very big and strong and creates a lot of speed, he is able to kind of hit what we would normally consider to be a weak cut because it isn't left with the face slightly shut relative to the target line. Because he's hitting that weak cut, he can get away with it and he still has a ton of ball speed and gets enough distance out of it. Now, Chris, I'm not saying never misses a drive. And I'm not saying that Chris never really, you know, changes his pattern because we all do from time to time. But Chris is going to be very Chris is going to be way more locked in with his pattern as a PGA tour player than my friend who has a very busy life and just happens to play a decent amount of golf. Now, going back to my friend who thinks he's hitting a high draw when in reality he's hitting a pull hook, my concern, and the reason I think that this is so interesting, is because every now and then he does hit one straight and he hits it a mile right and it's out of play. And now it's a catastrophic drive because we have to get another ball out of the bag, and if we put him on a tight golf course, this can sneak up and bite him. And I've seen this happen in the past. So is it okay if we're getting the ball in the fairway to just say, hey, I don't need to worry about my alignments? I don't know. It depends on if you can live with that catastrophic miss. But I think a lot of golfers kind of work their alignment in terms of their aim where they need it to be to get the ball to land where they need it to land. Now, when that works out and we kind of time all that up and make all that work for us, that can lead to some success. So does everybody need to kind of get a more neutral delivery and a more neutral club path and uh, you know, create more optimal efficiencies with their ball flight? I don't think that's the worst idea because that is going to at least allow us to quote unquote aim straight and keep the ball in play. But now when I'm quote unquote aiming straight and I kind of push it or pull it a little bit, it's not as catastrophic. Versus my friend who's aiming 40 yards right every now and then hits one straight or hangs it straight, and now all of a sudden he's off the map because he was aimed so far to the right. That is something that I think we can really learn a lot from because I think so many golfers don't really understand their alignments and where they are aiming. Now, some do, I'm sure, but I think a lot of people don't. And this is where I think things get really confusing for the golfer in terms of hey, I practice really well, but then I go out on the golf course and I can't transfer it to the golf course. Well, when I go to a public driving range, not a PGA tour range, not a corn ferry range, but a public driving range, I very rarely, if ever, see anybody using any kind of alignment aids. Almost never. And I know a lot of driving ranges now have the alignment sticks out there for people to use. You can still drop a golf club and be super old school, but I see very few high handicappers, mid-handicappers, low handicappers, I see very few people using any kind of alignment aid when they practice. Now, here's how I think this kind of goes, and here's how I think we can get better at our practice is that when you're not using a alignment aid, and let's say you're at the driving range, and let's say the wind's a little left or right, and let's say you tend to hit more of a fade, okay, if not a slice, but let's say a fade, let's be nice, and we got a little wind left to right, or even just no wind, and the and then we just fade it, okay. If we're picking a target, which most people do, I think, on the driving range, and we're trying to hit the ball and we're practicing getting that ball to land on target. Let's say that the first couple that we hit miss the target to the right. Okay. Now that player pretty quickly is going to start trying to figure out a solution, whether conscious or subconscious, of how to get that ball more on target. So, interestingly enough, I think what happens to a lot of golfers is that subconsciously they just start aiming more left. And now they see kind of more of this lower launching or maybe the same launch ball that kind of still has the same amount of fate, if not a little more, but now it lands on target. And they go, Eureka, I I got my swing in check. Now I know what I'm doing. But then they go out to the golf course and they don't have a couple cracks at this to kind of figure out how much left they need to aim to get the ball on target. And now all of a sudden they start missing greens, missing fairways to the right because they don't understand the alignments that they had on the driving range that allowed them to get the ball on target. And I think there's I think that's a big lesson. I really do. Uh, because I've seen predominantly that one of the biggest things that really good golfers struggle with is aim. And if you go to any tour event, whether it be the women, the men, the corn ferry, the Epson, the PGA tour, the Live Tour, uh, the LPGA tour, if you go to the driving range, I would say 85 to 90 percent, if not more, of the players at the very least have some kind of alignment aid down. So that's a big difference. We went from almost nobody in the public to a most of the people that are professionals and very good players. And I think that's important because once again, golf is not a game of perfect, and we have to play and manage our misses. And when we talk about managing our misses, if our miss is 10 yards, but we aimed relatively well, well, we're 10 yards off. Now, that might be a fairway bunker, that might be a greenside bunker, that might be maybe a little bit into some trees, whatever the case may be, depending on how tight the golf course is you're playing. But that is a manageable miss. That is an acceptable miss. But if I'm aiming 40 yards right or left, and then I miss it 10 yards additionally, I'm off the reservation. And now all of a sudden I have a catastrophic miss. And now this is something that is really going to start adding up strokes on my scorecard. So I think there is a lesson to be learned here from watching Chris Godderup. Now, Chris obviously is having tremendous success. And depending on, and once again, I'm not privy to Chris's information when it comes to his launch monitor data, but I don't know that Chris Godderup would play better golf if we like got him to line up straight and like blah, blah, blah. I don't, I don't know. Okay. It'd be interesting. I would be interested to know what his data looks like uh and see how much it changes if we squared him up. But I think he has found a very unique solution for him that kind of matches how he delivers the club and how he moves. But for the more weakened warrior type, for the normal people out here listening to this podcast, I definitely think alignment is key. I really do. And I think if we did a better job aligning ourselves, I think we would have way more success on the golf course and have way less catastrophic drives and t-shots. So I think it's one of those things that is really interesting to look at. So I've known about this kind of concept, obviously, for a little bit. And I do find it interesting because when I'm teaching inside versus teaching outside or teaching at an indoor-outdoor bay, to where even though we're inside, we're hitting out onto a range. One of the comments that I do hear a lot from people is that, well, this is kind of strange. And I go, what's strange? And they go, Well, on the golf course I hit it way straighter than I do when I'm inside. I think it's because I'm inside. No, it's because when we're inside and we're hitting into a screen, we're trying to hit the ball into the middle of the screen. That's what we're trying to do. We're not going to aim it to the corners. Okay, we're going to aim it at the middle of the screen. So now all of a sudden we're in a fixed alignment when we're inside, and now all of a sudden we start seeing the actual ball flight that would present if we were fixed alignment straight at our target. And I think that's what people hate about indoor golf, is that outside, because we're not fixed in our alignment and we can aim it wherever we need to to get it to land on target. Now all of a sudden we're kind of hoodwinked and tricked into thinking that we're hitting the ball relatively straight when in actuality we're still hitting big cuts or big draws. We're just aiming significantly one way or the other. So I think it's something worth looking at. And it's definitely something that I pay a lot of attention to. Uh, it's something that I get my athletes that I work with to pay a lot of attention to, is this alignment. So, you know, we can talk about golf swings all day long, we can talk about ground forces, uh, we can talk about pelvic tilt, we can talk about all these cool, really in-depth things, but it kind of most of the time, especially with a better player, comes to act comes back to posture, grip, and alignment. Well, the third one's alignment, and that's what we're talking about. So posture is important, obviously. We can tell I could do a whole series of podcasts about posture. Uh, I could do the same thing with grip, but alignment is kind of that thing that gets taken for granted. And I think it's really, really important because if we don't understand our alignment, then how are we going to kind of manage our ball flight? And I think that's where a lot of people kind of just miss the mark completely. So I would say that if you're somebody who really struggles with the driver, and I know there's a lot of people out there that do, I think one of the first things I would do is I'd try to go somewhere that has a launch monitor. I would get inside, believe it or not. I I can't believe I'm saying this. I'm generally a fan of being outside. But I think I would get inside to where we're kind of in this fixed alignment and see what the club path says, right? And it's like, hey, if it's significantly left, if it's significantly right, and you're seeing the golf ball kind of straight on the good strikes on the golf course, okay, the misses are going to be big, right? Because we're having to aim to offset that. So I really like to get away from kind of offsetting our ball flight with alignment, because that's a tricky proposition on the golf course, because it's very difficult by and large to make that consistent when we're having to really align ourselves one way or the other, unless you practice it all the time and you're very aware of it. And, you know, I'm sure that there are people like my friend, he plays at a fairly high level. I mean, I think he probably is legitimately a four or five handicap uh with an eight degree left club path. It's just, you know, he would probably be a lot lower number if he didn't lose the ball. And look, he's not losing balls every round. And and he I've played golf with him. Um, you know, he's a member at Inverness. We've played a lot of golf down at Inverness, very difficult golf course. And I've literally watched him hit a ton of fairways before. Uh, as a matter of fact, I think I've played a round of golf with him where he hit almost every fairway that day. So when he gets it going, he gets it going. Uh, and he can play golf at a high level that way. But I've also played golf with him at golf courses to where it's not timed up that day and he's struggling a little bit, and the misses are big. But if we're kind of thinking about this from a handicap situation, right? And I'll tell you why I'm saying, you know, I'm not the biggest fan of handicaps, but the reason I'm talking about this from a handicap situation is because when we think about a handicap, that's kind of our totality for the year, for the season, right? Is hey, I started the season here and I got to here. Okay, well, if you think about this, let's say that you're like my friend and you do a pretty good job, and let's say you only lose one drive uh off the reservation per two rounds. Okay, so every two rounds you're you're losing one out of bounds. Do you think that's not gonna play out in your handicap? So if your goal is to go from a five to a zero or a ten to a five or whatever the case may be, that that's really that's a big chunk of strokes over the course of a season that we could cut away just by getting these alignments a little more sorted out and getting the club path a little bit more neutral. So I think it's one of those things that you know maybe I'm just kind of being crazy about this, I don't think I am, but I think it's one of those things that I don't see a lot of people working on. I see a ton of people working on speed, I see a ton of people working on, you know, just trying to hit the ball more solid, um, that those kinds of things. But I very rarely have somebody come up to me and they go, hey, I'm working on my alignments. But I think that if we think about low-hanging fruit and what really is going to have a big contribution to the overall scores that we shoot in our skill level, I think it always comes back to posture, grip, and alignment. So, you know, I'm not going to get into posture and grip. Uh, that's pretty tough to do on a podcast, but alignment, I've kind of spelled it out here. So I think it's important that we understand what our club path is. By the way, I would really look at that across the board. So I would look at that with your driver, I would look at that with your irons, I would look at that with your wedges. Uh, wedges are obviously quite a bit steeper with their static lie than your driver. Uh, weighting can be quite a bit different. Um, but I would kind of look across the board with those clubs and go, hey, you know, I tend to swing a little left, I tend to swing a little bit right. And then we need to kind of understand how we need to build our strategy around that if we're not going to change that. If it's significant enough to where you're like, hey, I need to kind of neutralize that a little bit, then we're also going to have to kind of change our aiming when we get back outside and playing golf on the golf course. So I think it's something worth looking into. Um, I think it really can be a difference maker for a lot of golfers, but I think it's one of those things that just kind of gets, once again, taken for granted and overlooked. So, you know, I think the the big thing that I would say is that as we get more serious about this golf season, uh, as we hit the driving range, as we uh we start kind of practicing more and kind of getting ramped up, you know, I would definitely at at the least, especially if you're outside, I'd put down an alignment stick. And I would point it. Look, I I know there's a million ways to do this, but when I put down an alignment stick, I point it right at the target. I'm not trying to aim it parallel left or any of that stuff. I'm putting that alignment stick exactly down at the target I'm trying to hit it to. So if I was to hit a perfectly straight shot with zero curve, it would go right at that target. I'm parallel to it, right? But the stick itself is right at the target. And I think that is a good kind of benchmark uh to see kind of what kind of ball flight you're making. If you are, you know, aiming, you know, relatively square. Now, by the way, um, aiming square and having your feet both feet exactly parallel to that stick, maybe not this, maybe not, you know, the way to go. I don't want to make anybody believe that we have to have the feet exactly perpendicular or parallel to our target line or club face. I do not believe in that. Uh people have weird things going on with their pelvis, their feet, and their alignments. So you got to kind of figure out where your square, quote unquote, is, right? But we need to be able to get the pressure underneath the ball of each foot, and we need to be able to kind of align that face to where we can get the ball to start kind of where that stick is pointing. That's your square, okay? So it might be that your feet are a little closed, it might be that your feet are a little open. You might be one of those people that just gets away with having them both parallel to the stick. But we kind of need to understand where our square is to start that ball on that stick line. Now, if you're fortunate enough and have a launch monitor and can look at club path, your square is kind of where the club path is zero. Okay, the face is zero. That's not going to happen all the time, by the way. But if you can kind of create a zero-ish path and a zero-ish face, and you can get the ball to start on your target line, that's kind of your square. Okay, so we need to kind of find our square where we are kind of squared up to our target line and can start it on that line with relatively neutral club delivery. That's where we need to start from. Now, that's a little bit more difficult for somebody who really struggles with a club path that is substantially left or right, but it is figure we can figure this out, right? So kind of finding our square and then kind of working from there is going to be best case for a lot of people. Um, and I I think it really can pay dividends over the course of a season, even over the course of a round, which is a much smaller sample size. So um, I don't know. I I think this is important. Um, I generally don't get this specific with a topic on this podcast, but I kind of have really beat the war drum for this one. So um, yeah, I think it's interesting. I've I've been looking at this for a while, operating an indoor golf facility and why people don't necessarily always like the indoor golf facility. But I think it has a lot to do with the fixed aim situation that we find ourselves when we're inside and hitting into a screen versus when we're hitting out onto a range. Um, that's the big difference. And I haven't really heard anybody talk about this, so I thought it might be good to talk about today on the podcast and try to get people some help uh that is way more simpler and way more kind of low-hanging fruit than making, you know, big changes to your golf swing because it could be as simple as this, right? So, you know, you can kind of tie some other things into it. Um, you know, posture like we talked about, you know, feet a little closed, feet a little open. Uh, there's still some things we need to accomplish within the uh posture game that are, you know, going to allow us to perform our best. But I think the the simple thought behind posture is is we got to get that pressure underneath the balls of the feet. Uh that's probably one of the most common things that I see when it comes to coaching people uh and helping them get better at golf is when we put them on the force plates, that one of the very first things I look at is where is that pressure at setup? And is it underneath the balls of the feet? That's super, super important. Um, when it comes to grip, you know, if we get our stick down and we know that, you know, generally our path is okay, but we're overfading it or we're overdrawing it, you know, I think that gives you some clues as to whether the grip is a little strong or if the grip is a little weak. Um, and I think that you've got to really be mindful of that, right? And that's once again, if we know our alignment's good and we know our swing and our delivery is pretty good, and then we're kind of seeing the ball not find the target, I think that's a a really good time to kind of do the grip check and you know play around with it, do a little mini experiment, you know. Hey, I'm missing these shots all a little bit to the right. Okay, well, let's strengthen the grip a little bit. Okay. Oh, I'm seeing all these shots kind of overdraw a little bit. Okay, let's weaken the grip a little bit. I'm not saying you have to commit to it forever, but we can do, you know, three to five shots there real quick with slightly stronger, slightly weaker grip, and see if that doesn't kind of get our ball flight more within the realm of what we're looking for. So I think there's some things you can do with posture, balls of feet, with grip, strong, weak, depending on ball flight. But most importantly, we we have to have something to work off of, which goes back to alignment. So I think it's important, I think it's worth looking into, uh, and I think it's something simple. Um, I always like simple. And I think as somebody who you know can get into the weeds with the best of them, uh, is super techie, uh, really likes to get into the details and the minutiae. Um, at the end of the day, when we're playing golf, man, I like it simple. So I highly recommend getting your stick out there, maybe getting somewhere with a launch monitor, kind of looking at some of these things and kind of using that to kind of guide your strategy for getting around the golf course. So um, yeah, I think it's important. So um it's been an interesting podcast. I like I said, I normally don't don't go in uh quite this hard on something, but let alone we have. So, anywho, uh, I hope you like this. I hope you found it informative.
