Lessons from The Masters on how to reduce stress, get better swings, and shoot lower scores with Jamie Zimmeron.

This is Golf Smarter Premium.

Here's your host, Fred Green.

Welcome back to the Golf Smarter Podcast, Jamie.

Thank you. I'm so happy to be here. Good to see you, Fred. Actually, see you. It's good day.

I'm happy to be with you. And I think that we've got the perfect topic for today because we've just had an hour of stress trying to get this thing set up.

But even more appropriate this past weekend was the Masters.

And I think the thing that I enjoyed most about it is seeing the best players in the world having the same type of stress that I have, that we have as crappy amateur golfers.

Well, we're human. They are human and we forget sometimes that they're human.

Yeah. Well, it doesn't matter. They're the best in the world, and they're not supposed to play like we play.

Well, that's true, but, well, I think I've talked to you before, talk to your listeners.

I talk to everybody about why I call what I do key I go.

So we'll start there, okay?

Because key means your life, or chi in Chinese Tai Chi, and I is this harmony, this unity, this synchronization. Okay. And the bottom

line is that what makes your golf ball go is you, your energy. So your energy goes into the

golf ball, right? You wind it up and you deliver it. And when you're looking at your golf ball,

for better or worse, good news and bad news is you're looking at yourself. It's the energy you put

into the golf ball, how you shaped yourself to get it into the

golf ball. Now, we back up a little bit. What is this life energy that we all are? It's universal.

And it really doesn't matter what level we're at or what country we grew up in nationality,

religion, gender, levels, anything, okay?
