0:00.0	If you could shift your attention elsewhere away from the golf swing, you could free your body up to do what it knows how to do.
0:09.0	I think there's an inner athlete in all of us and there's that golfer on the range that everyone knows exists.
0:14.0	You're hitting great shots on the range and all of a sudden you're shanking him on the course.
0:18.0	What happened? There's some disconnect there.
0:20.0	I believe one of the reasons for that disconnect is the obsession of the swing and thinking about

1:25.6	This is Golf Smarter.
1:28.8	Sharing stories, tips, and insights from great golf minds to help you lower your score
1:34.2	and raise your golf IQ.
1:36.8	Here's your host, Fred Green.
