Episode notes
Twice Hitting 27 Led To Nearly A 59
- Robert Lee shot 27 on nine holes twice, first at Monte Carlo where a flyer landed in a bunker then checked to five feet for a birdie.
- He nearly shot 59 in the late 1980s but afternoon greens and missed putts left him with 61.
Playing With Greats Accelerates Learning
- Learn by watching better players up close because touring with top players accelerates improvement.
- Lee describes soaking up habits, aura, and routines from Seve, Langer, Woosnam and others as a rapid education.
Practice With Purpose And Shot-Based Work
- Practice with purpose rather than mindlessly hitting balls to hit a quota.
- Robert Lee recommends targeted short sessions (eg. wedge distance work 95/105 yards) and more shot-based practice instead of full-swing repetition.
