Being as this is, I was going through my victory sort of run.
0:59
No, you were going away.
1:06
I have two options here.
1:08
I'm actually going to let you to do it out and decide what question I asked you.
1:15
We're going to look at question one is about Tor Pros putting from 30 feet.
1:21
Question two is about five index players and how close they need to hit it to break
1:30
I think Greg should vote, dude, because he's struggling a bit at the minute.
1:34
I'm trying long, and I feel he should choose.
1:37
Let's get away from the two of pros.
1:39
Let's go to the five index.
1:40
Let's talk to some people.
1:42
We're going to do five index players.
1:45
What we want to know is we want to know they're in the fairway, and they're going to be
1:50
at three different distances.
1:51
They're going to be at 40 yards, 100 yards, and 180 yards.
1:57
They hit their approach shot, and it hits the green.
2:02
How close does that ball need to be for them to break even on Stokescane?
2:09
So what's the tipping point when they're actually getting an advantage?
2:11
What's the tipping point where they break even?
2:13
They get to 0.00 Stokescane on that shot.
2:19
Five index from the fairway.
2:21
The ball hits the green, so the ball's on the green.
2:24
How close does that ball need to be?
2:26
So what's the proximity of that shot in feet from when they are 40 yards in the fairway,
2:33
100 yards in the fairway, and 180 yards in the fairway?
2:39
Where do they break even on Stokescane?
2:41
This will be a good one.
2:43
I'm excited to see this one.
2:49
Really good amateur player, top 10% kind of player.
2:54
I think I'm crossing out going on, but I've got one in the end.
2:58
And this will be because there are three separate questions in here.
3:02
We'll be the best of three.
3:04
And tiebreaker apparently I need to disclose that.
3:06
Now tiebreaker is a set is a separate question.
3:09
It's not told this question, not whoever did the best guess.
3:14
Yeah, it's a random question.
3:16
Good clarification, Lou.
3:22
Mark, you need to go first.
3:23
So how close do five index players need to hit it from 40 yards in the fairway to break
3:29
even on Stokescane on that approach up?
3:36
Dude, I wasn't even.
3:37
No, we're near that.
3:43
Gregie, how close do they need to be in feet when they're 100 yards?
3:51
And then Mark, the last one, 180 yards.
3:59
So apart from the first guess, we're right next to each other there pretty much.
4:04
We're right next to each other.
4:07
We're going to start from 40 yards.
4:10
We have good guesses.
4:13
There's some good guesses.
4:15
And there's some guesses that are not good.
4:18
Because I don't like it when he compliments our guesses.
4:22
I mean, it feels like we're eating inside.
4:28
And when he doesn't say anything, this goes in the arms.
4:31
So why don't I do my own work in this week?
4:34
Well, some guesses are great.
4:36
Some guesses not so great.
4:38
But these are hard questions.
4:40
They're challenging questions.
4:48
And the answer is 14 feet.
4:51
Greg, you locked in on that one.
4:59
The answer is 37 feet.
5:05
I'm nervous for the last one here.
5:13
And the answer is 90 feet.
5:20
Greg with the win, though.
5:21
Can I borrow your horse, please, Mark?
5:26
The trotting is over.
5:35
There's just not many greens in situations set up where you can even have a 90 foot pot.
5:41
It's really hard for that to happen.
5:43
The pin has to be tucked somewhere.
5:46
Has to be a bigger green, typically.
5:49
Like, so, you know, 180 yards out.
5:52
If a five index hits the green at all.
5:55
Like, you've had a wonderful shot from 180 yards.
5:59
Every golfer knows the feeling.
6:01

7:24
Which is unbelievable, isn't it?
7:26
A five index is hitting.
7:28
Like there will be five indexes actually hitting seven ions from that distance.
7:32
Like they will be hitting a seven.
7:35
And I can't agree with it.
7:37
I'd love to interview the five index and ask them what,
7:40
because my experience playing with people like that is the expectation from that yardage is dialed in.
7:47
You know, like in reality they get it on the green.
7:51
Yeah, I can tell you from the weekly newsletter that I send out,
7:56
where I typically I have a quiz in the newsletter like this.
7:59
I ask questions each week and I give them options multiple choice.
8:03
Yeah, that's why you were winning all the time.
8:05
And now he's the, now the truth.
8:07
Nobody sits by their inbox just waiting for that more than me.
8:13
But the answers are always, I oftentimes make the answers, you know,
8:20
I want to say relatively obvious.
8:23
And in some people have picked up on the pattern where a lot of the times it's just, you know,
8:28
it's the least obvious answer.
8:30
And that's the correct answer.
8:33
And people will email me and say, you got to stop this.
8:36
Because it's obvious to me what you're doing here.
8:39
And I just pick the, you know, the worst answer of the bunch.
8:43
And that's usually the right one.
8:45
But the percent of people that still get it wrong is astounding.
8:50
Like they still get it wrong because the, you know, the, the myth out there
8:55
of what you should do and how you should perform.
8:58
And the expectations of people have are just, just completely not realistic.
9:03
Well, I think a thing is that aside from like your own egos when you play golf
9:08
and your expectations based on that one time that you did something really well.
9:12
And therefore now you do it, you think you do it like that.
9:15
We've been told for years just at the professional level when you listen to golf and watch golf.
9:21
These guys are going to hit this into 10 feet.
9:23
You'll be disappointed if he doesn't do this.
9:25
Like the commentary has built around the 0.0 percent of whatever that gets something done.
9:32
You know what I mean? Like it's, it's incredible.
9:34
And I think people extrapolate that potentially to their own games.
9:39
Aside from, you know, an honest assessment sometimes of just your own performance is not fun for a lot of people.
9:47
And I think the stats show that when some people do stats are one of their first comments to me is,
9:51
I can't, this isn't right.
9:53
This isn't what I like.
9:54
They don't see the positive.
9:56
Sometimes they think I don't want to see that anymore.
9:59
Well, they don't even want to enter the bad ones and stuff like that.
10:02
Don't enter the bad rounds.
10:03
Don't want to enter the bad rounds.
10:06
That's really cold.
10:07
It is so, it is very common.
10:09
Like I deal with that with some of the elite players that I work with where they do not want to,
10:15
like I look in their stats because we're going to talk about them in review.
10:19
And they're, they're missing some rounds.
10:21
And I would, what, and they don't like to enter their bad rounds.
10:26
They only like to enter their good rounds and look at the good numbers.
10:31
When in reality, the bad ones are ones we would potentially learn the most.
10:35
We want, we want all of them in there so we can understand everything.
10:40
And there's a lot of people that don't want to do that.
10:43
They just want to, they only want to focus on the good.
10:50
We were way off there, Greg.
10:51
You had a good one.
10:52
But that would have been taken some serious, like, gumption to be able to say,
10:56
oh, 89 feet, you know, as a guest.
11:00
I do remember looking at that.
11:02
I mean, I say, I remember looking at these numbers and being blown away at how far away some
11:07
of them were when you got me at the top end, even from, you know, five indexes.
11:11
Five indexes is a good player.
11:13
Like if you say you're five, you're going to be lower than most people.
11:15
You speak about golf too in the street or at a party or something.
11:22
I wouldn't be surprised if that 45 feet, if that was tall.
11:26
Some, yeah, like Torpro.
11:29
I reckon that probably isn't far off.
11:32
I don't have it in front of me, but that's pretty close.
11:34
No, I think Greg one day.
11:37
I don't think anyone really.
11:39
No one would ever class that as a win today.
11:49
No, I'm not sure anyone would do that today with those.
11:55
I'm on my horse now.
12:01
Well, Greg, I guess for being three better than me, but millions off on the last dance.
12:10
That's what it's coming down to.
12:11
I can feel that I can feel the energy you're bringing here.
12:13
I can't end the portal to the energy.
12:14
If I end the pot, I am then the loser for next week.
12:17
I'm still the rating champion until the pot ends.
12:21
This might be a 20 year pot.
12:23
I might just keep which is dead silence.
12:25
So did we just log off me trying in the corner.
12:29
Thanks a listen to everybody.
