Episode Notes
Six DP World Tour wins. One of the most respected short games the sport's ever produced. This week we sit down with Brett Rumford — the Perth kid who was too small to reach par fours in two, so he built a short game that carried him around the world instead.
Brett takes us back to chipping for six hours a day at Collier Park, caddying for tour pros as a teenager, and the day TrackMan showed up and blew up every edge he'd spent a lifetime building. We get into shaft lean, "the balance of the club," why he thinks virtuosity beats mastery, and why he flat out doesn't believe talent is born — only built through repetition and suffering.
Also in this one: a Scotty Drummond bunker story that has to be heard to be believed, why Brett calls most YouTube swing tips "the biggest load of horseshit," and — the big one — we announce Brett Rumford is officially joining Skillest.
