So I think I saw some people commenting on Twitter about Ryan Foxman in the Canadian Open recently, certainly at the time of recording this podcast.

Welcome everyone, Lou and Greg in the house.

And I think it was literally the last shot in the playoff.

Ryan Fox did not take a practice swing on his amazing three-word approach shot.

And a few people were talking about how amazing that was

to see someone just kind of, I guess, rock up and hit it.

Is that the case?

It was the playoff hole where he didn't do a practice swing.

He just hit it.

Is that right, Greg?

Did you?

Yeah, so as I understand it, second shot over water.

Yeah.

And he just stepped up and hit a three wood

over there and then won't. I think it's an interesting, potentially interesting chat about

routines and their purpose for amateurs and what do you, why do you, why when and how do you

take a practice move slash swing? I. I think a lot of people get, get it confused sometimes. I have some thoughts on it and it could be a good chat. Yeah, like that, like that. I wonder if, just out of interest with Ryan Foxx, that was the second time he played that hole in a very short time, I guess, wasn't it? They played it, I think, three times in the playoff, plus he just played it to finish out the fourth round. So it was like the fourth time he played it, basically, that day. So he was probably done. Yep. I've swung it up. He's on the green or I'm going home. Yeah, pretty much. I'm worn out. Yeah, and it worked because ryan fox won the event and

having an amazing few years now ryan's turned himself and always was into a complete world-class

player which is great to see um so let's talk practice swings then gregg your what's your

theories around practice swings is it something you thought about in your professional game do you

have a system or is it changed over the years why do you use them yeah so i i was taught originally

that the routine should be built around being exactly the same um i have since evolved slash learned
