This is why most people never become scratch golfers. While there are many that can make it to single figures, to consistently break par you need to be able to mentally process this level of detail, even if it just gains an extra yard or so closer to the pin, that can lower your score by 5-shots.
Davids face while Phil is talking about shot variables. 😅
Phil Bryson!
What does 6-8 yards “dead” mean?
Phil needs his own show
Wow…😦, I thought the brand of ball made all the difference.
Still the most entertaining golfer on and off the course.thanks Phil for always making it a show
That's years of experience explaining exactly what goes on. Phil is the modern day Ben Hogan … but much more likable.
Is that Phil Fonzi Mick?
Cool name.
I sometimes wore misplaced attire.
However, I didn't ever apologize. It was all me.
Go Phil! Just sayin'.
I love how every Tour pro does this but for some reason Bryson gets called "The Scientist" for also doing it
This really hits home now after watching Phil win the 2021 PGA Championship. Congrats to Phil for making history!
I think maybe a big part of why his iron play is so good came at the end there. "I hit 1500 practice iron shots a month". I remember Larry Byrd talking about shooting 3 pointers 2 hours a day, 365 days a year. Work ethic counts.
Feherty: "You've always thought that way, very analytical."
Bryson: (cough, cough)
So awesome!! As an Engineer,I literally think like that
Feherty's jaw was dropping about 145 yards as he heard the master talk physics.
Phil is the most confident bullshitter in the world while telling you the truth at the same time and enjoying every second of messing with you. He's a class act.
Gotta love Phil bafflin' us with the BS 😂
Yet he has no clue where his driver goes!
I factor in temperature and altitude as it pertains to my beer consumption on the course. Higher temperature requires faster beer consumption. Higher altitude and I'll drop down to a slightly lower ABV.
LMFAO
Imagine asking bryson to explain his thinking on his game zzzzzzz
Yah Phil..all thats ok when you pure your 9 iron 99.9% of the time
In another life Phil would be a stock broker or hedge fund manager
I love watching Phil. Followed him around at the Honda one year. He's so respectful of the volunteers. Made sure to say hello and thank each one of them. And he is hilarious! Hits it every where but in the fairway and shoots 4 under LOL. Was behind about 17 trees after a drive and some guy says " nice positioning Phil " and everyone laughed. Phil says " yeah, I have the perfect opening from here ( he had no shot, so we thought) " and proceeds to hit four iron through the first set of trees and then it slices around the next group lands 12 ft. and says to the guy " it's all about positioning " with a shit eating grin. Oh yeah, made the putt!!! UNBELIEVABLE LOL
Could’ve gone to work for NASA if the whole golf thing didn’t work out
Big Chunky Line
It’s awesome to have a big CPU.
That turned me on
At 1:56 Feherty learns the difference between the PGA and the European Tour.
IBM tried to get the Big Blue computer to process all of this and the system blew up.
WTF? Every time I think like that a little voice inside me says… "just hit it".
I mean, when you think about how this is what it takes to beat golf, I'm happy with my +9s
yawn, grip and rip
After listening to Phil's mental calculations, I have decided to quit golfing. If this is where it leads, I want no part.
Well, this is what pretty much separates the absolute legends from the great golfers. This game is so finely nuanced at it's most competitive levels.
1500+ balls a month people, just with the wedge…probably for the last 30 years, and that is just at the range practicing. Sicko and committed.
Came for the video – stayed for the comments.
I do not feel that I am remotely worthy to even look at my irons much less touch them now.
Wow! What I’ve found is your ball will never go farther than when it’s going the wrong way!
Still less complex than Bryson.
Yeah I do exactly the same thing: I process wind, temperature, time of day, lie, cut of the grass etc etc.
Then lift my head on the downswing and fuck it 20 yards with a huge divot.
yeah….I know some of these words
When he is playing for that kind of money then it's perfectly fine to fine tune his game. To the rest of 99% weekend hackers, this is useless info.
GO HOME BALL!. Why you don't you just go HOME? That's your HOME! Are you too good for your HOME? ANSWER ME!
Watched this 6 times, I will probably still be a 4. Amazing insight into the mind of a great golfer. I never even thought about half the factors he mentioned. What I wonder about is the power of the subconscious mind and his ability to trust himself when even his caddy tells him he is wrong. We, as humans, are quite a bit smarter than we give ourselves credit for.
I like Phil's analytical approach to the shot making process, but I also think that he has eye-hand-body coordination that will correct mistakes before they happen. This is extremely interesting to me. Using a baseline for every club makes perfect sense, but anyone who has seen him play knows that he is not entirely analytical.
He is a psychological case study. I mean that in a good way.
