Draw two lines, dig in to lower your swing arc, & make a practice swing to find where the club enters the sand. Hit between the lines so the sand moves the ball.

I dreamt I was in the Masters with Bryson DeChambeau…but then someone stole all my clubs—except the driver, the power club.

In the World Long Drive Championships, I’d win locals and set records, then freeze in the final step before Worlds.

When I turned pro in golf at 27—after starting as an average golfer only six months earlier—I wasn’t sure where the journey would lead. By the time I neared 30, I didn’t know how I was going to keep going.

Golf is played in three-dimensional space—swing technique, shot dispersions, equipment, strategy. But what if we can access other dimensions to play differently—and better?

In this Short, I'm talking about shifting awareness into one-dimensional…
