0:27.4	this that are no longer available in any podcast app.
0:31.0	Because the ball popped up, it's like, oh yeah, well, I got under it, so I definitely teed

0:35.3	It's like, no, I don't think so.
0:37.3	Yeah, when you pop it up, you need to pee it higher. What? Yeah. Why? First of all, you're too steep on the golf ball, so your angle of attack coming into the golf ball is too steep.

1:26.6	You start giving too much information to some of the students,
1:29.8	and they get just more and more and more confused.
1:32.0	So when they leave a lesson, they have two or three things to work on, and that's it.
