[SPEAKER_01]: Our summer report with tipped and senior golfers.
0:12
[SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to the central Indiana Sports Report with your host, Craig Mendel.
0:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm here once again at Tipton Municipal Golf Course, joined once again by Tipton Tribune and Elwood Colleter Sports Editor Michelle Garmin, and we're joined by our reigning golfer of the year, Josie Butler, a state finalist.
0:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to talk about how her off season is gone and her summer in particular, all that you've done.
0:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, since the end of last season, since you were named golfer of the year and
0:48
[SPEAKER_01]: today.
0:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So welcome.
0:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome Michelle.
0:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Take it away.
0:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks.
0:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Josie.
0:54
[SPEAKER_02]: You sounds like your first major area of one of the first major decisions you made this year to start your summer ones where you're going to continue after a high school and you are going to continue to play golf, correct?
1:08
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're going to a really good
1:11
[SPEAKER_02]: school.
1:12
[SPEAKER_02]: So go ahead and tell us where you're going and why you decided to go there.
1:17
[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm going to the University of Indianapolis and so obviously when I was deciding where I wanted to go to college.
1:25
[SPEAKER_04]: a huge part of it was their golf team and another huge part of it was school because that's still very important to me and I'm going into physical therapy or exercise science that route and so I got an offer in the beginning of June
1:43
[SPEAKER_04]: and that was my top in the end of school.
1:45
[SPEAKER_04]: So I knew right away that if I ever got to offer from you, and that I would probably accept it because they're programmed for what I want to go to school for is very good.
1:55
[SPEAKER_04]: Their golf team is very good.
1:56
[SPEAKER_04]: So I really wanted to take a tour.
1:59
[SPEAKER_04]: So I went for a visit.
2:01
[SPEAKER_04]: I met the golf coach.
2:03
[SPEAKER_04]: I met a exercise science professor and I just loved it from the moment I stepped on campus.
2:10
[SPEAKER_04]: I know that I would thrive here.
2:12
[SPEAKER_04]: I know some of the girls on the golf team already.
2:14
[SPEAKER_04]: So it just felt like a really good fit.
2:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm excited and happy for you.
2:18
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, my kind of way went to you with his freshman here.
2:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know he enjoyed it down there.
2:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I have a cousin that is a pull Walter at UNDM.
2:29
[SPEAKER_02]: She will be a senior this next year.
2:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And she's actually nursing his her major.
2:34
[SPEAKER_02]: So yes.
2:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a question.
2:35
[SPEAKER_01]: How long did it take?
2:37
[SPEAKER_01]: literally how long I'm going to take you to say yes.
2:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, oh, like right away.
2:42
[SPEAKER_04]: So because he offered me in person.
2:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And you said yes, right there.
2:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't have that because it was a perfect fit.
2:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
2:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I won't.
2:50
[SPEAKER_04]: I won't have to be in task.
2:51
[SPEAKER_04]: I wanted to visit it before I said yes obviously.
2:54
[SPEAKER_04]: So I was just super grateful that one time was there and I'll work down.
2:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I talked to your mom earlier in the spring.
3:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And she said that it was a stressful time for you through recruitment.
3:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
3:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Recruiting process.
3:08
[SPEAKER_02]: So did you take visits anywhere else?
3:10
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
3:11
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was a very long process.
3:13
[SPEAKER_04]: We started and thanksgiving break.
3:19
[SPEAKER_04]: We started visiting.
3:20
[SPEAKER_04]: But my original plan was to get south.
3:24
[SPEAKER_04]: and golf there because I wanted to go off year round but my problem was all the schools I was looking at in the south they were taking a lot of girls from other countries so or they were taking people
3:41
[SPEAKER_04]: that were transferring.
3:42
[SPEAKER_04]: So a lot of their teams were upperclassmen or girls from other countries.
3:45
[SPEAKER_04]: So it was really hard to get into those schools.
3:48
[SPEAKER_04]: So my thought was, okay, well, I might as well start in Indiana, then transfer to Florida.
3:55
[SPEAKER_04]: But once I found a school that I love so much and that has the program for my schooling,
4:01
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm confident I'll probably just stay in Indiana because I love the coach.
4:06
[SPEAKER_04]: I love the school.
4:07
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm only an hour from home.
4:08
[SPEAKER_04]: So it just works out like that.
4:10
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going to say the nice thing too is if you and the is successful has yes they've been at the D to level means they must have
4:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure if you're going to be able to go on with the play golf every day.
4:20
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
4:36
[SPEAKER_02]: She just, I think a couple years in a row, she's made an academic couple of stuff.
4:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that was Maverick, but he transferred up to Michigan.
4:46
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm talking about female golfers.
4:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Josie Logan, yeah, was, in fact, Josie Butler here will be the fourth lady double golf right of to have no fifth to have played college golf.
4:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Lila, Crawford Gilman, her sister.
5:05
[SPEAKER_02]: It was at St.
5:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Francis Leila, was a U.K.
5:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, in the Kelly Gulf of Butler, and then Josie will be golfing at UND.
5:18
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I'm guessing that
5:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we'll be the our next female girlfriend.
5:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Tiddens had a lot of us had a lot of male golfers.
5:28
[SPEAKER_02]: We could go back we could go back years and years to find them to play golf for sure.
5:34
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so but that's it's great.
5:36
[SPEAKER_02]: So now with that have that
5:40
[SPEAKER_02]: behind you that choice that you feel like that just frees you up for your senior season.
5:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
5:46
[SPEAKER_04]: I really wanted to go into my senior year just with like not having to worry about, I mean, I'm still gonna worry about my scores, but I just wanted it to be a little more laid back, just have a lot of fun, do with my friends.
6:02
[SPEAKER_04]: And so now I feel like I can work on my game, I can work on that stuff without worrying about getting recruited anywhere.
6:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's what I say.
6:09
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't have to worry that if you have a bad day and you're not feeling well and you have a bad around at all my gosh, is that how is that going to turn a recurrent off?
6:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
6:19
[SPEAKER_02]: But now tell us about your summer, because obviously, I mean, you made the college choice, but you haven't stopped.
6:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you haven't played all summer on my correct.
6:27
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I have.
6:29
[SPEAKER_04]: So this summer, my swing coach and I decided that since it's not school season right now, since I'm not qualifying for anything through school, we wanted to work on a lot of swing changes and just a lot of changes throughout my game.
6:43
[SPEAKER_04]: So I was ready for my senior year.
6:45
[SPEAKER_04]: So the beginning of the summer, it was honestly a struggle because once you change your swing, your game starts to be changed.
6:53
[SPEAKER_04]: So it takes a long time for everything to add up to one.
6:55
[SPEAKER_04]: So like when my driver was, yes, exactly.
6:59
[SPEAKER_04]: So like when my driver wasn't good, I like my short game would be good.
7:02
[SPEAKER_04]: When my short game was good, my driver wasn't good because I was changing so much about my swing.
7:07
[SPEAKER_04]: So it's taken until pretty much this point in the summer to where I'm starting to play like I was in high school because of all these swing changes.
7:14
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's completely normal, especially like at my age, like I'm still going through a lot of changes.
7:19
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's how we wanted to do everything during the summer.
7:23
[SPEAKER_04]: So by this time where I am now, I'm starting to be more consistent.
7:26
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's exactly how it's gone.
7:27
[SPEAKER_04]: So it went like the play and was supposed to go.
7:30
[SPEAKER_04]: But the summer started out rough.
7:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's all right.
7:33
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the great thing is folks, Josie Swinko, just Blake Hoover, a former Tipton Bluedouble golfer himself.
7:39
[SPEAKER_02]: He competed in the state finals when the Bluedouble's went as a team.
7:43
[SPEAKER_02]: And he also played college golf at St.
7:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe's, the now-de-funked, unfortunately, St.
7:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe's of college in, in the inn, Rinsalera, Indiana.
7:53
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and that was a great, I mean, say Jeff, it was a great deal too.
7:56
[SPEAKER_02]: It's cool too.
7:57
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's really a shame that it, they have longer exists.
8:01
[SPEAKER_04]: You always describe it as like you and the level around me.
8:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and he had a really, he had a really nice college career.
8:08
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah.
8:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And now he's, does this for his, makes golf his living?
8:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
8:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Sure does.
8:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's your senior year?
8:18
[SPEAKER_04]: Mm-hmm.
8:19
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you thinking?
8:19
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you, uh, how are you approaching it?
8:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'm super excited.
8:24
[SPEAKER_04]: It's crazy that four years has, it's already about to go by.
8:28
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm just going to try, have the most fun I can.
8:31
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to work super hard, hopefully make it to say it again.
8:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have a goal for state.
8:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you going to win it?
8:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what we're talking about?
8:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what your new swing is doing for you?
8:42
[SPEAKER_04]: When are you staying?
8:44
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's a reasonable goal.
8:46
[SPEAKER_04]: I think I can make it again.
8:47
[SPEAKER_04]: I just have to keep working hard, like even though.
8:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're just getting there through this week.
8:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
8:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
8:53
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I'm saying.
8:53
[SPEAKER_04]: But I mean, even though all my swing stuff has been crazy this summer, I think I'm in a really good place right now starting to get back to how I was.
9:03
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think this season is going to go great, especially with we have some new girls that I think are really willing to work hard.
9:09
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it'll be good.
9:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know, of course, obviously, it starts with you in Kennedy.
9:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
9:14
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, so who else?
9:16
[SPEAKER_02]: You had a first-year golfer last year.
9:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that made some nice progress.
9:19
[SPEAKER_02]: She worked.
9:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh-huh.
9:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that she's going to continue.
9:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Ashlyn Morgan.
9:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, yes.
9:24
[SPEAKER_04]: She's golfing again.
9:25
[SPEAKER_04]: And then we also have a transfer from Hamilton Heights, Presley Cherry.
9:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, wow.
9:31
[SPEAKER_04]: So now we're going to have a solid team, I think.
9:35
[SPEAKER_04]: And then we have some new girls, too.
9:37
[SPEAKER_04]: We have, um,
9:39
[SPEAKER_04]: one from middle school coming up that wants to play.
9:42
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think we have a lot of girls that really want to try and I think if they can practice enough we can practice as a team that this year will go pretty good.
9:51
[SPEAKER_02]: So who is the one from middle school?
9:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I couldn't remember who I'll go off down there.
9:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we're gonna go a little bit because the one thing about Tipton is it's, you know, you have not just outstanding golfers, I say you have golfing families in some ways and Greg Josie's brother, Jameson, is gonna be a freshman this year and he's gonna elevate that boy's Tipton boy's golfing right in there.
10:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though, I mean, they graduate Calvin but with
10:20
[SPEAKER_02]: pressed and coming back and I really liked Pablo first.
10:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
10:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, exactly.
10:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And so you and your brother go out and have some friendly competitions.
10:34
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, I love that we both play golf because we're out here all the time and the other and not even just that.
10:40
[SPEAKER_04]: You like your brother?
10:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I love him.
10:41
[SPEAKER_04]: We get along.
10:42
[SPEAKER_04]: We get along so well.
10:44
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't just play different spirits.
10:47
[SPEAKER_04]: He's been good because he would
10:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we're very close and we love to just go to different courses in Indiana.
10:59
[SPEAKER_04]: Like we don't stay here.
11:00
[SPEAKER_04]: We like we go to rock hollow.
11:02
[SPEAKER_04]: We go we'll go to chip and Dale just different places for fun over the summer.
11:06
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's really nice.
11:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So what's the most challenging course you've played here in the state of Indiana?
11:11
[SPEAKER_04]: I would say rock hollow is pretty hard.
11:13
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a lot of water, a lot of trees.
11:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, prayer review of the state course.
11:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Difficult, but if you can keep it in play, you'll be totally fine.
11:24
[SPEAKER_02]: What's your Wendy's home course?
11:25
[SPEAKER_04]: They, well, okay, so they have a few different.
11:28
[SPEAKER_04]: They don't stay at one, but broad more is one.
11:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
11:31
[SPEAKER_04]: One of their main ones, and I'm actually playing a practice room there on Wednesday, because I have a tournament there soon.
11:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, so yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:36
[SPEAKER_04]: So have you played the get a camping or the product course?
11:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
11:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
11:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's pretty
11:48
[SPEAKER_04]: That is true.
11:50
[SPEAKER_04]: They're very pretty though.
11:51
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your favorite one?
11:52
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your favorite one?
11:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I love Harvard trees and noblesville.
11:57
[SPEAKER_02]: That's good.
11:57
[SPEAKER_04]: That's good.
11:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That's good.
11:58
[SPEAKER_04]: And then Chatham Hills.
12:00
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where I practice every week.
12:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
12:03
[SPEAKER_04]: That's where I'm going right after this.
12:04
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
12:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, because that's where Blake Hoover, my swing coach, that's where he coaches.
12:09
[SPEAKER_04]: So every single week I'm there.
12:12
[SPEAKER_04]: And so I've grown to love that course.
12:13
[SPEAKER_04]: I have some challenges, but it's helping me grow a lot because it is difficult, but
12:18
[SPEAKER_02]: it's put me in place is like I've never been before like certain lies and stuff and that's we know that's not a bad thing because you know Griffin here one of his best high school seasons came after he's been he got that program through crooked stick and he had like a free membership year and he got and everything and he I mean that elevate just playing that level of course practice everything he did yes
12:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, all those courses are pretty hard.
12:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but I think it's a super cool experience.
12:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what I mean.
12:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Like even on their heart, you're going to learn.
12:51
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say this when the very first course that I covered tipped in at a state golf, which pressed week in that day.
13:01
[SPEAKER_02]: It had one of the most amazing holes and I still
13:05
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the whole ten.
13:07
[SPEAKER_02]: You could not see the green literally.
13:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you had to walk, you went down a slope, you had to walk down.
13:12
[SPEAKER_02]: You could, you were teeing off into, and you just didn't know where your ball was going to land on the green.
13:18
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it really was.
13:19
[SPEAKER_02]: The green's up, I mean, the tea is up here and the green's down here.
13:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It was amazing.
13:23
[SPEAKER_02]: It challenging, it was challenging.
13:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold, but it was fun because of that.
13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what, yeah.
13:28
[SPEAKER_01]: The more challenging, the more fun, right?
13:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly, that's what I think.
13:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a question.
13:34
[SPEAKER_01]: and a way to be completely honest with me.
13:37
[SPEAKER_01]: How much do you want to be Kennedy head to head each time you play?
13:41
[SPEAKER_04]: We obviously want to beat each other, but we've been tying so much like during the school year.
13:49
[SPEAKER_04]: It was almost neck to neck.
13:51
[SPEAKER_04]: And we ended with almost the exact same score like at the banquet, almost exactly tied.
13:57
[SPEAKER_04]: We obviously want to beat each other still.
13:59
[SPEAKER_04]: It's competition, but I think it's friendly competition.
14:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, deep down.
14:01
[SPEAKER_01]: You just don't like each other, right?
14:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.
14:05
[SPEAKER_04]: We both want each other to succeed.
14:07
[SPEAKER_04]: And we both push each other.
14:09
[SPEAKER_04]: We play together all the time.
14:11
[SPEAKER_02]: One great thing is their parents, too.
14:13
[SPEAKER_02]: They always ask them, wouldn't want to make sure that how the others, and I know someone was competitive, but a lot of them, as they really do.
14:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
14:18
[SPEAKER_02]: They really do care.
14:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Each other on.
14:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Like we're both very competitive, but we're both cheering for each other at the whole time too.
14:27
[SPEAKER_01]: What's your next tournament?
14:28
[SPEAKER_04]: My next tournament.
14:30
[SPEAKER_04]: The broad more one.
14:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Next.
14:32
[SPEAKER_04]: Well.
14:32
[SPEAKER_01]: What is it?
14:33
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the tournament.
14:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Hold on.
14:36
[SPEAKER_04]: I can pull up the actual name.
14:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I have it somewhere right here.
14:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You just compete, you don't even know what you're competing for?
14:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
14:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
14:44
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a good attitude to have.
14:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, because we have so many lined up over the summer that I'm like.
14:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
14:54
[SPEAKER_01]: One after the other.
14:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
14:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's IWGA.
14:57
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm getting a shot.
14:58
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, now I know.
14:59
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's just IWGA.
15:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice.
15:01
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a broader one.
15:02
[SPEAKER_01]: That's Indianapolis, right?
15:03
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, yes.
15:04
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm around there.
15:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Kennedy's also played a lot this summer.
15:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I know person has.
15:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna guess that your brother has also done.
15:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we both have.
15:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you guys crossed paths already?
15:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know Preston and Jamison would be different.
15:18
[SPEAKER_02]: Was there different age groups?
15:20
[SPEAKER_04]: The only one that all four of us have been like Preston kidney me and Jamison.
15:25
[SPEAKER_04]: The only match that we've all been together and would be age group at Swan Lake and that was last week.
15:31
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's the only one that we've ever all been together.
15:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, me and Kennedy play together all the time.
15:37
[SPEAKER_04]: It's pretty much there's I WGA and I and GA and the tournaments are always different.
15:43
[SPEAKER_04]: So, me and Kennedy play together.
15:45
[SPEAKER_04]: James had a present day, but we normally don't.
15:47
[SPEAKER_04]: So, what did you guys do?
15:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Well,
15:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Last week, I played the second day.
15:52
[SPEAKER_04]: I was playing super good.
15:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I was shooting for a seventy-eight and then I hit the ball out of bounds twice on one of the last tools.
16:01
[SPEAKER_04]: So that's just... Why did you do that?
16:03
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
16:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I really don't know.
16:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I hit it.
16:07
[SPEAKER_04]: twice in a row on the T-box so I ended up shooting in the eighties but that goes to show me like I've spent all the summer fixing my swing and it's finally coming together it was just those little mistakes on one of those last holes so I'm confident that my game is back it's just those mistakes that they're easily fixable
16:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to ask you how much, because I know two years ago you were crushed when you didn't get out of the section of arbitries, but how much of last year's run that you made through the section of the regional and then down to the state how much confidence in your
16:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Did that give you in the obvious I know you're going through the swing changes but mentally for your game.
16:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh a ton because I think growing up Since I hadn't always done golf it kind of like I started and I was put down because I wasn't as good as everyone else and It's different because like gymnastics was a sportwear when I was little I had always just thrived I picked up on it really easily and
17:10
[SPEAKER_04]: and golf isn't something that you can swing a club and hit it two hundred fifty yards.
17:16
[SPEAKER_04]: It just takes a while.
17:17
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think last year finally getting to the point where I wanted to be, finally put me in the mindset of, oh I know I can play golf now, I want to keep playing golf, I want to thrive.
17:28
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think that's definitely helped me and proved myself that I'm okay, I can play golf.
17:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you ever met another golfer who also did gymnastics?
17:38
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a very common.
17:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not a very common combination.
17:41
[SPEAKER_02]: That'd be a great way.
17:42
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a great way to build your coat.
17:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, both in one more question.
17:46
[SPEAKER_02]: When you glad that you're not a junior anymore to where you don't have to work, concessions the Friday night before us.
17:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I am done.
17:55
[SPEAKER_02]: For those who don't know or don't remember.
17:58
[SPEAKER_02]: kid error sorry josey had a slight uh... well wasn't her fault it was a attire a stool or whatever you should have never been in the concession stand broke and she uh... reacted and all back injury from gymnastics and literally so scared turned in probably one of the guts he had a special performance is ever one session standing yes yes to go out and do what she did at the regional was amazing yeah yeah you didn't know how you i assume you did it golfing because
18:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.
18:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Golfing can give you back problems.
18:29
[SPEAKER_04]: No after.
18:30
[SPEAKER_04]: So after I re-injured my back on the stool.
18:34
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, the next day on on the course the entire time I would I say after every whole I'd take I'd be profan.
18:41
[SPEAKER_04]: It was it was this whole thing when I got through it.
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: You did and it was a it was an amazing song.
18:46
[SPEAKER_02]: It really couldn't hardly walk am I right?
18:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah, I heard so about it hurt and then it was worth it.
18:51
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, so worth it.
18:52
[SPEAKER_04]: It was okay.
18:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I just remember getting a text from your mother on Sunday night and was just, you know, beside or saw it and trying to figure out how what could be done because they're trying to get reach out to that just saying that it was too late to get the waiver for a car.
19:12
[SPEAKER_02]: But you know what, in the long run, it was better I think that you didn't have a problem with your mental, at home, your mental focus.
19:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
19:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Tough kid.

22:44
