Andrew Coulthard

I mean, I don't know how that's happened.

I mean, normally you've still got about six or seven holes left to play by the time you get to 63.

But, you know, he managed to do that just in front of the clubhouse.

And so he'll have really, really good vibes.

But he's also, as we can see from week to week to week to week, got that absolutely impeccable amount of patience

your iron play your distance control around here is going to be really really important yeah he really has found the knack of competing at majors fourth in that US Open last year that I referenced third at the Masters and Colty like Tommy he feels like a major champion in waiting yeah I mean you look at his golf swing Jamie and you know that with his irons I mean it's just it's almost like a one plane thing it's just straight up straight down it doesn't deviate very much he's never going to hit really any sort of destructive shots with

level of consistency again that he possesses is astronomical yes he's now a father as that's what we are alluding to and he's had a little bit less sleep that could work both ways it could either absolutely knack at him or it could help take his mind off things and he might be a little bit more philosophical on the golf course what do you think of that do you think there's any chance of that

Absolutely.

He called himself a good golf coach.

He's one of the best putters in the world, apparently.

Clearly, he didn't know what he was doing.

I mean, that's great that Laurie's saying that because, you know, you can actually desensitize yourself and switch yourself off.

Even as a major, you can switch yourself off with those ridiculously long practice rounds.

You know, you're so excited to get there.

You go there and they just destroy your thinking.

They destroy your enthusiasm for the game.

You're learning.

You shut down the learning.

You don't pay any attention to the golf course, even though...

bizarrely you're out there three times as long as you can that's a great idea just going out there playing a little bit here and there understanding the golf course and then by the time the gun goes off you're absolutely you hit the ground running and you're ready to go mucking about with these six hour practice rounds are a complete waste of time no
