the less you emphasize putting the better you'll put the more you talk about it and think about it

i think it puts a block i think with hogan he hit it so close in his later years and he felt like

he should be rewarded for that and i think that's what what happened with hogan he made statements

that said putting shouldn't be so important you should get points just for getting it close to the hole. Well, that was his frustration coming out because he did hit it so close. And unfortunately, he did have the yips. He couldn't pull a putterback on a short cut. The only time I had the pleasure of seeing him play golf, and at the Olympic club, he played in the, I think it was the open. And I mean, he hit every fairway, every green. And I don't think he had more than a 12-foot putt all day. And the only puts he made were kick-ins. But when he got that four or five-footer, his pant leg would be shaking. He couldn't pull the putter back. Wow. Now you think about that, this is a guy that could hit a go in a motel

and hit a two-arm

right down the pant leg would be shaking. He couldn't pull the putter back. Wow. You think about that. This is a guy

that could hit a go in a motel and hit a two-arm right down the hallway and not hit either side.

How are you? I hope you, your family, and all your friends are well and safe. This is the craziest time

I've ever experienced in my life, and it's also really scary for all of us.

I'll talk more about why golf is so important for us right now during this pandemic at the close of the episode.

But let me focus.

Thank you so much for asking for more information about Tony's video, but I'd like to read just one of the many emails I received this week about these episodes with Tony Manzoni from Golf Smarter listener, Johnny Martinez.

He said, I bought Tony's book after listening to your Golf Smarter and Mulligan's podcast with him last Friday,

went out and tried it at the range on Saturday, started making solid straight drives, never

could do that before, and played Sunday and hit three drives over 270 yards straight down

the fairway, resulting in two eagle putt attempts, ended up with two

birdies, but still, I'm a 17 handicapper with a 200-yard drive average, so this is amazing to me.

To say I was blown away is an understatement. Thanks, Johnny. And as for today's show, the original episode was titled

Taking Your Game to the Next Level, One Club at a Time. And again, because I enjoyed talking to

Tony so much, it was about an hour long. Well, part two of this conversation has just been

published on Golf Smarter Mulligan's number 48.

And when you're about to hear is Tony and I just chatting about golf, but we also covered so many other topics.
