0:00.0	Hey, it's Fred. You know, I regularly get asked about my all-time favorite episodes, and this one
0:06.2	comes to mind because our guest is Dave Stockton. Over 30 years as a touring professional, Dave won
0:13.0	11 times on the PGA tour, including two PGA championships in 1970 and 1976. After that, he joined the Champions Tour in 1992 and won 14 times
0:26.4	through 1997, including two senior PGA championships and the U.S. Senior Open.
0:33.8	Later, he went on to become one of the most sought-after short game instructors in the world.
0:38.5	So in this episode, we tried something different as it was two complete episodes in one conversation
0:44.9	that was presented at one time to golf smarter members behind our paywall and has never been shared publicly before.
0:53.4	I know you'll agree with me that there's a lot of really helpful insights and instruction
0:57.7	from one of the best.
0:59.6	So here's Golf Smarter episodes number 430 and 431 from April 1, 2014.

1:21.6	Our interview library features hundreds of hours of game improvement conversations like this that are no longer available
1:28.9	in any podcast app.
1:30.4	I was never the most gifted physically, but I'm going to beat you mentally.
1:34.6	If 75 or 6 was the best I could do, it certainly made the 67 I was going to need to shoot
1:39.9	the next day to make the cut a much more viable approach rather than getting all mad and huffy about it.
1:45.6	It's like the two things with Rory, the one I alluded to where he won the Open, where I basically
1:51.1	had him, he was monitoring how he played. The second, which is his PGA at Kiowa, where I saw him the
1:57.7	way before, and he had a terrible year so far. He's been up and down.
2:02.1	He wasn't consistent.
