Episode notes
Shanks Before A Qualifier, Then A Good Round
- Jon shanked repeatedly in a US Open qualifier warm-up and arrived terrified at the first tee.
- Despite early nerves and a poor tee shot, he settled and played well that day.

- After a confident warm-up at a subsequent event, Jon played horribly, showing warm-ups don't guarantee results.
- These two rounds taught him to avoid emotional buy-in to warm-up outcomes.

- Practice 20–30 footers and mixed-length routines to lock in speed control.
