Once again, Scottie Scheffler is a great champion. In Quail Hollow, the 28-year-old surpassed the field in the PGA championship along the way to his third major title, ending the week with Wanamaker Trophy raised his head.
Through all, his tall coach, Randy Smith, was next to him.
“He is the one who teaches me how to swing, and he is almost the only guy who is advised when it comes to that kind of stuff,” Scheffler said. “He’s a wild when it comes to teaching me the shake of golf, and he is also a very special guy. I’m grateful for what he taught me in golf game, and life too.”
Smith, who in 2022 was included in Famous World Golf Teacher HallHe has learned the great winner three times from Royal Oaks in Dallas since Scheffler was seven years old. At that time, Scheffler evolved from a premature child who liked the ball beats in the best player in the world.
After his latest triumph, Scheffler was asked about the best advice he would have ever received from Smith. And his answer is something from which every golf player can learn to improve.
Smith’s tips for Scheffler
Scheffler did not become the best golf in the world overnight. His ride from the Royal Oaks to the top of the world golf rankings had many turns and curves – but all over all, Smith had a main memory for Scheffler.
“I felt like all the time he taught me, he always did a really good job to help us all stay patient,” Scheffler said. “When you are younger and things are not going as it is thought, Randy always did a really good job to remind me that it was a long trip to become good at Golf.”
Golf improvement is rarely linear. It is a two -step -step game, a step back, and if you get too high or too low for what you shoot, it’s hard to appreciate your progress.
What the best players in the world (such as Scheffler) do so is good to fall in love with the improvement process. Committing to the improvement process, rather than the results along the way, the construction of greatness becomes easier to achieve.
“You will have landing -driving,” Scheffler said. “I wasn’t always the best player. I felt like I could be the best player. But I was a good young player, a good amateur player, and I did a good job by ranking up to professional golf. Randy was always by me helping me be patient and teach me little things along the way.”
