| 0:00.0 | So one thing I know about myself and plenty of other golfers is that we tend to be control freaks. |
| 0:05.1 | And we think the things that work in life are going to work on the golf course and it usually |
| 0:09.6 | backfires. So this week we're going to go back to an episode that Adam and I recorded over three |
