Great video and round Adam and thanks for the back 9! I hit my gap wedge really well so one thing I've started doing is playing from the green to the tee, not tee to green. If I can leave myself 110 to 120 into the green with my best club, all I need to do is hit the club off the tee to get me to that number. Even if I'll hit the green at least 50% of the time or more I'm minimizing my damage. Or at least trying to. Looking forward to the next one Adam! Thanks!

Good stuff Adam. I like to pay attention to your self-talk and the 'caddying' back and forth btwn you and Darin. It gives me some insight into what considerations better players like to emphasize. Working through the thought process while planning for the next shot is typically where I go wrong. This is especially true on approach shots. Do you go through a *mental checklist* as you prepare for the next shot? Perhaps you and Darin can talk a bit more about this.
