Charlotte, NC – Ryo Hisatsune knew what was coming. It was Friday evening, and I had just walked the last six holes of the second round with his group, on the anonymous side of the draw, alongside Jt post and a club pro from California.
Hisatsune had just finished an interview session with the Japanese press when I encouraged him in English. Can I just ask one question?
“Yes,” he said with a knot. And before I could get it out, he interrupted, “for the water bottle?”
Yes, water bottle. He who presented to him from his caddy before every single blow and with short games. Follow his round closely and you will notice that he refuses to hit a blow – everything off a long leg – without first taking a swig from a light blue bottle.
It all started a few years ago, during the first year of Hisatsune as a professional. He found himself feeling nervous about some strokes, unable to calm down at the moment. And what do players do often when nervous? They rush through their process. Therefore, why do sports psychologists and coach shakes point out routine, routine, routine.
“I felt a little nervous with some games and short games,” HISSATUNE explained. “So I asked my caddy, can I drink a drink of water? And now it’s my routine and I’m calmer.”
The order of operation is as follows:
When Hisatsune reaches green, he reads the blow from all angles while his velvet stands about five steps behind his ball. When Hisatsune crawls to stand directly behind the ball, his caddy goes forward with the water bottle, drinking straw ready. With the touch of his heels, lighting the Putt line, Hisatsune gets a swig, delivers the bottle back to his caddy, and then moves to a stroke. If he misses him and has to point out his ball and line up another blow, his caddy will return the water again. He will often require water on shots with short games, and occasionally in more complete shots that stimulate nerves. On Friday evening, the last sip came as he stood behind a two -legged Bogey.
Is it different? Certainly does it help him stay hydrated in wretched, sweaty charlotte? Absolutely. Hisatsune also fills different water bottles with gatar electrolyte packages throughout the round. When asked how often he was recharging his blue water bottle, he said, “No idea, but maybe four or five recharge (during a round)?”
It would be a better question for his looper, William Spencer. He is young for concert, playing this additional role of Water Boy for the last few months. But Hisatsune says you’re doing well.
“He’s got good time,” said hissune with a smile. He has had several different loopers in recent years and needs to teach each of them the right sequence. “Some velvet have (no), some have forgotten. But he is doing very well.”
As duet, everything is going very well The empty quil. He is the top five in the field in the strokes obtained: setting and making the turn Saturday afternoon In six under, just a back of the superiority.
