Transcript from Part 1 of The Rebuild golf instruction session, where ModGolf host and struggling 16 handicap golfer Colin Weston works to build a solid foundation for his game to shoot lower scores but more importantly have more fun and enjoyment while playing. This is the first of three podcast episodes from the coaching session with Quinn, with Part 1 here focusing on proper warmup techniques, mindset and how to properly hit a chip shot. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Hey there, it's Colin with ModGolf, it is the new year, it's time for my new golf game, and as part of the rebuild, as a part two, I'm here with Quinn Vilneff, and Quinn is a PGA teaching professional here, and I've known you for a couple months now, we've been back and forth, and you are, I call this, the second leg to the foundation of what I'm trying to build here with golf in 2026. So, as you may have known, hopefully you've watched or you've listened already to the first part, and that was with Cameron Barkley at Vancouver Golf Performance, where I'm working on the fitness side, because I know there's certain limitations I have, I've got to build up strength and flexibility, stability especially, and then that needs to translate into the golf swing. So Quinn, what we're going to work on here, we talked about this, so that people that are watching, whether they're beginner golfers, never picked up a club before, someone in between that's frustrated and struggling but loves the game like me and has played for years, or someone that's at that elite level also, so we're going to run through some things here, and the takeaways at the end, hopefully three things that people can do so they will stick, and they won't give up after a month, as we do with resolutions, and it comes too hard and too overwhelming, so that's the key here, you're going to be looking at my golf swing here today, hopefully you're not going to be too overly critical, but I also want you to be, and to see where we can start in over 12 weeks here, as part of this rebuild, to where I'm going to get both on the physical fitness side of things, and also on improving my golf swing for more consistency, better ball striking, and hopefully better golf scores, leading to more fun on the golf course. So first of all Quinn, hey thanks for joining us, and why don't you let everybody know a little bit about yourself. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Yeah, well thanks for having me, so a little bit about myself, I grew up in Ontario, a young eager golfer, first picked up a club when I was about 13, so it's pretty late actually to the game, and played a lot of different sports growing up, but really seemed to click when I grabbed a golf club, and so that sort of snowballed into me going away to school in the USA, I got to play at a division one NCAA school, and played for four years, which was great, learned a lot of things, grew as a golfer and a person as well, got an education, and then really wasn't ready for the real world, so in hindsight it was a great thing because I was offered a coaching position, so I was the graduate assistant coach, I did grad school, did my master's of science, and was coaching the men's and women's team as the assistant to the head coach, and it was really the first time in my life I had ever cared about anyone's golf game except for my own, and it was really moving, it was very eye-opening for me to start to help other people, and I had a lot of great coaches as a kid, and my mom's actually a figure skating coach. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast You had mentioned that in a previous conversation, she had quite the impact and influence, and she was a national level instructor also, was she not? Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Yeah, she's actually heading to nationals next week for figure skating with one of her students, so good luck to coach Lori and Jake, but she played a huge role in my golfing career, she used to drive me to tournaments and really sort of helped me with the mental side of things at that high performance level, understanding pressure and how to deal with that pressure, and what to say to yourself, and also helped me from all angles, which is sort of what we're going to talk about a little bit today, and those little things that you can do and over time how well they can improve your game, and I don't think it's just golf specific, I think it really goes with a lot of sports, nutrition, health and fitness, making sure that your body's ready to go, sure that your mind's ready to go, and sort of having a plan for every step along the way is really what she helped me with, and then I had some really good instructors as well that taught me how to swing a club, and when I graduated, I was fortunate enough to start caddying, so I caddied on the PGA Tour, I caddied on the DP World Tour, I caddied in over 40 countries all over the world, and got to play and compete inside the ropes alongside Rory, John Rom, Tommy Fleetwood, and really learn from those experiences and sort of see firsthand what the best players in the world do, and what makes them so great, and be able to take away some of that information and use it with my students every day here in Vancouver, which is a dream come true for me to be able to kind of grow the game at the grassroots level, and like you said, I get to work with players all along that spectrum of the first ball they've ever hit to playing golf for a living. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Love this, love this. So we're doing this today from the Gowanus Golf Club, this is a virtual indoor membership-only golf club that I've had the pleasure of becoming a member in December for a month here, and what I love about this in Vancouver, it's rainy and cold, so I can come inside a couple times a week and practice all the good things that Quinn is going to be instilling here today and beyond. I'll have a chance to get some reps in and put that into play here. So if you're listening on the ModGolf podcast or watching on the YouTube channel, what we have here behind me on the screen in one of the two bays here, this is powered by TrackMan that we have here, so whether it's practice on the range, playing virtual golf courses all around the world, or using it for entertainment, TrackMan, what they have here can do it all, and the great thing about this also, Quinn, we have behind us here, we can see from a shot here, that it tracks all the data here between the club head speed, ball speed, carry distance, roll out distance, smash factor. We love these things. Some people may think that's way too nerdy and dorky, but we love all these numbers, and we're going to also talk about how that will affect my golf swing. One thing I wanted to mention, Quinn, is when I was working with Cameron last week, talking about what's my goal on the year, and I'm not one that looks at things as results based as a number, but as far as certain improvements, and there's a couple things that I've thought about that I want to do. One is as far as, especially with the fitness side, and hopefully with my swing becoming more efficient, is my club head speed for driver right now is about 97, 98 miles an hour. If in 12 weeks, if I can get a 5% boost on that, if I can get up to 105 consistently, which I know means I'll get another 10 miles an hour on my ball speed, which means I'll probably get another 15 yards on my ball, as far as how far it goes. Those are all great things for me. So that's one thing I'm looking at. And the other one, it's kind of competitive here, I'm a member at the University Golf Club in Vancouver, the weekend men's group, and they have awards every year. And the fact all these guys that are scratch golfers, good golfers, I'm never going to beat them straight up. That'll never happen. I'm okay with that. But there's one award that they have. And that's the most improved golfer. And last year, the guy that improved, improved by 4.1 shots. So I'm a 16.4 right now. By the end of this year, in 12 months, if I can get it down to a 12, which I've been before, that's my goal is to win most improved player at the golf club. So hopefully we can get there. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional That's a great goal. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast There we go. Yeah. Let's get started. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Let's do it. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast All right. So like most golfers, I am overwhelmed where to start. I'm going to leave this to you.I am now in your hands. I'm a piece of clay for you to mold here, Quinn. So where are we going to start? What's the first thing you want me to do here? What do you want to look at? Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Well, I would start with a high lofted club. So you've got a few different wedges in here. If I was in your shoes, I would be starting with my highest lofted wedge. And a drill that I really like to do or a little warmup routine that I find very effective in not only warming my body up, but also helping me avoid that injury is I try to start with a shot that goes 10 yards. And I try and hit each ball for 10 shots further than the last ball. And generally what that means, if you can effectively accomplish that by the 10th ball, you're making pretty close to a full swing. And then you can start to work your way up through the bag. You know, on my day-to-day job, I see way too many people show up, you know, grab two wedges, swing violently four or five times, grab their driver and say, well, this is the problem. Can we spend some time on driver? And I, you know, every day I say, sure, that's fine. But you need to hit about 25 to 30 golf balls before we see that drive. Right. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Yeah. All right. Let's get that 59 degree wedge in my hand here. And we'll start with that. So the first one you want me to try to hit about 10 yards? Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Yeah. Just a little pitch shot, just short of the green. You're, just going to have a little pitch nice and easy. Good. So first one was 12, eight. Second one was 26. Okay. So at this rate, you're going to have to dial it in a little bit on, on how hard you hit each shot. I had to go for 20. Grab these balls here. It's actually a really good drill, not only for warming up but also to, to start to get some feel in your short game. There's a very big difference between really good players and amateur golfers or struggling recreational golfers is their short game consistency. And you hear people talk about, well, I had a really good game today, or I had one of my best rounds in months. And they reflect on sort of what they did well and what they did poorly. And a lot of times those good rounds don't necessarily come from reinventing the wheel of, oh, I hit so many perfect shots. It's, it's more about not hitting any disastrous shots and you make your four footers all day. You don't chip and then have to chip again. You chip it, you get on the green. If you're 30 feet, you two putt. The bad rounds are the ones where you, you chip it and you have to chip it again and then you three putt. And the difference is two shots. And over the course of 18 holes, if you're having some struggles around the greens versus you know, generally low stress, I don't mean you need to get every ball up and down, but throwing away additional shots is something that, you know, I think is a very quick way to lower your score and lower your handicap. And it's, it's more so about disaster avoidance than it is about how can I hit more shots perfect. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast And I can relate to that because I know sometimes being, I'll be in the middle of fairway, I'll hit an okay approach shot and it'll be off to the side, maybe five yards off the green. Maybe I pushed it a little bit. I'd missed to the right that I have. And then yes, I'll hit a poor chip shot. May not even get it on the green. Maybe I hit it over and even two putts from there or three putts. And then from the side of the green, it takes me four to get down. And I have that at least once around still. So these are the things I know because I have with Arccos with the sensors that I can see the stats. So I know where I'm losing my most strokes. We could get into strokes gained and strokes lost. I think that's a good conversation to have. And I know from that data that for me, if you're looking at, there's four different categories of driving off the tee, approach shots with irons, chipping and pitching, and then putting that I'm losing my most strokes off the tee. So I'm not hitting it far enough. I'm not hitting enough fairways and also with chipping and pitching. So those are the low hanging fruit for me that I've known that I need to work on. The other parts of my game, if I look at as a 16 handicap, as a putt, my putting is pretty good. So I, we had a putting clinic a while ago. So you've seen my putting. I probably putt like a four to say like a single digit handicapper. My irons for the most part, yes, I do hit a couple inconsistent ones, but I think that's a single handicap. So I chip and I drive more like a 20 handicap. So it's all over the place and it drives me crazy. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional I would be in your exact same position if I was, you know, if I putted the ball like you and I struck it with my irons like you and I felt like it, you know, breaking, breaking through to that single digit just, just almost felt like, you know, I'm sure that there's drives you hit where you're like, well, single digits is a pretty tall task if I'm going to hit tee balls like that. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Yes. Right. Absolutely. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional We do also happen to live in one of the most difficult places that I have been when it comes to driving the golf ball. I find, I find it very tight off the tee in British Columbia. Do you find also the fact we're at sea level and it's colder that we don't get as much distance also, you're finding a lot of, a lot of the core, a lot of the courses also does just the shape of them as parkland courses kind of carved out of the forest. The ball goes as short in British Columbia as anywhere, right. You know, especially if you, if you go and play places during the summer and you're at elevation, you know, play golf in even Calgary, we've got a little bit of elevation or you play golf in Denver. You know, I've caddied some events in, in some very high elevation places, Switzerland, right. Columbia, Bogota, Columbia is almost 9,000 feet. The ball goes pretty far when it's 20 degrees outside. You know, you're working off charts that are generally, I would say 15 to almost 20% further. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Wow. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional You toe your chips. Didd you ever know that you toe your chips it's the impact. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast This is interesting because the other day I was here, the S word. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Oh, interesting. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast I was really off the ones that I didn't. I was, I was hitting it way off the inside. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Okay. I'm curious of a couple things here. Do you mind if I look at a couple of data points here? Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Please do. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional I'd like to see here. Club path. There we go. That's one that we can take out. We can take out total. I'm not a huge fan of total. It's so relevant to the course you're playing and the conditions that you're playing. I can tell you firsthand that there was many times guys that I've worked with who have made, the last six or seven bosses I had that I carried clubs for have made over $50 million playing golf. And we would turn total off. We would turn a lot of data off. So when I put down a GC quad or we'd have a track man and we're looking at numbers. We would just look at carry, look at a carry distance. So roll out is inconsequential because it's, it's so random. It's exactly that you go play golf right now. You're going to get a few yards a roll. You play golf in one week from now. I don't know if you've seen the forecast, it's rain every day for like the next 10 days. If you play golf in a week, where that ball lands is as far as that ball is going to go. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast I know I played last week and it's yeah, I have a rollout of zero. Sometimes even negative. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Yeah. Right. So I, I'm not a huge, you know, user of, of the total distance. I do think that the carry distance is very important. But what I've done is I've just added club path there just to get an idea of the direction that your club is moving when you hit the ball. All right. So let's go back there. Perfect. All right. Get a couple more. Yeah. A couple more. Still off the toe. Okay. So club path, 10 degrees. One before that was 14 degrees, right? In Trackman world, when we see any sort of number that does not have a negative, yes. That tells us that your path is somewhere to the right of your aim or your, your center line. Okay. Does that make sense? Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Kind of. Maybe explain it one more time. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Okay. So if your club is moving left, right. If you're swinging over the top or out to in correct, this number would be negative. Your number has been 14 to the right now, 10, 9.7 to the right. So your club is traveling into out a fairly significant amount for this type of shot. Now the reason that you, you know, like you said, the, the recently you, you were hitting some chip shots and you were having that dreaded shank word, right? It's like when your club is traveling directionally away from you, if it gets going a little bit too much, that hosel is going to be what's presented to the ball and you're going to hit a shank, right? So what I would, what I would like to see you do is, you know, you have, you have a struggle with your chipping and you generally have a shallow into out path and you strike and you're right now you're striking the toe. What I would like to see you do is I would like to see you get steeper and more exiting to the left. As you, as you strike it like almost intentionally, which is the opposite of your golf swing. I know I took, took a look at that video, but ironically, I want you to actually get steep and left on your chip shots as opposed to shallow and right. Like I'd like for you to hit a driver. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Yes. Right. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional And driving and chipping seem to be the two pain points for you. And, and I've got a sneaky feeling that you are too much this way with a driver and too much this way with a chipping and they need to be flipped. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast I think you're right. Yeah. I know you're right. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Okay. So let's just try a few because I would like to see if we can get that center contact first. And one thing that I really like to do, and I'm not sure exactly how it will work with these Trackman IOs because they're above there. But what we can do is I can actually put this here. I want you, this is a tea towel, by the way. I bought five of them for a dollar at Dollarama. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Good investment. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Very good investment. Really good little training aid. But what this is going to challenge you to do now is it's going to challenge your club to move back a little straighter. And if anything, as you come down, you can no longer come from the inside or you're going to hit this towel. So it's going to force you to actually get your club moving a little bit more to the left as you strike the ball. Does that make sense? Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast It does. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Okay. So let's give that a go. And for starters, if I just put a little hole in this mat, I just do a little, dug a little hole there. And I said, okay, let's pretend the ball's there. Yes. Without a ball. I just want you to take a few brushes of the turf where that pretend ball is. Okay. Good. Good. Up and left. I want you to feel like you're exiting left. Good. Okay. Up and left. Lift that club up and brush the ground. Awesome. Okay. Now I'm going to put the ball there. Same feel. Ball's just there. We're going to have that same sort of feeling. Good. Okay. Now, path. Immediately your path is now changed 15 degrees. It's negative now. Now a negative. So what we need to do in order to not hit that shot too much to the left is now we get to play with your face. So when you look at your wedge, there's this sort of unknown thing that people talk about all the time. They're not really sure what it is. The bounce. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast The bounce. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Right. So the bounce is there to prevent the club from digging straight into the ground. Which happens all the time in Vancouver because it's soaking wet. So what I would like to see you do is I would like to see you open the club a little bit. And when you're getting that club moving a little bit more out to in, okay, you can keep that face open because if I have a quite left path, do you mind if I steal the show here for one second? Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Please do. Steal away. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional So if I get this towel really nice and close to the ball so that I can't come inside. If I keep the face nice and open, when I strike the ball, you're going to see now the path was super duper left, but the shot itself didn't actually go as far left as your last shot. And that's because my face stayed open. Now this is something that it takes a little bit of time to visually get comfortable with because most people, most golfers are not very used to looking down and seeing their wedge wide open. They think, oh, okay, my wedge is pointing this way. The ball is surely going to go that way. It's not really the case because there's so much loft on this club. Now I don't know if you've ever heard the saying that people say that you have a loft problem and you say, oh no, I've got a, you know, I've got a 60 degree. They said, no, no, no, not the loft of your club. You have a lack of freaking talent! Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast That's a pretty good one. I like it. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional So the reason that this, this loft is going to play a huge role in chipping is as the loft decreases, the face and where it's pointing at impact is going to determine where the ball goes more and more and more. So the club that has the least amount of loft in your bag is what? Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast The driver. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Close. It's a trick question. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Oh, actually that's not true. Probably my putter. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Yes. Generally one to four degrees. So then next is driver. Three wood, hybrid, four iron, five iron and so forth. But if I open this wedge wide open, if I get rid of this towel, if I open this wedge wide open and it's pointing right of the entire screen. But I swing nice and straight. The ball goes dead straight. The path was five degrees to the left. You can even see that impact video. The face is quite open. It's wide open. And now if I get a putter, a low lofted club, and I open it up to the corner of the room and I swing nice and straight, the ball goes dead right because there's almost no loft. So when people are like, Oh man, I hit my pitching wedge pretty straight, seven iron, four irons hopeless. And my driver always slices. They're like, well, my club face is fine, but I swing over the top. I'm like, well, your club face isn't fine. Or you wouldn't slice the ball. If you had a square club face and you swing over the top, you're going to hit a dead left. You're not going to slice it. The slice comes because the club face is open. Yes. And, and that goes back to what you were saying about high golf IQ is when you start to apply physics to your golf game, then you can not only, you know, mentally get over some of these hurdles of, well, I got to learn how to chip with the face open, but you're going to just have this core belief that what you're doing makes sense mathematically. It's not this theory that some golf coach is talking about. And my opinion, this or that, I'm sure you've heard the opinions, but if you look at it mathematically, when we look at the stats of how you chip a ball, you are too shallow and you're too inside out. And so you need to get steeper, more out to in and keep that face a little bit more open. And that is going to give you a lot more consistency, a lot more consistency. It's just challenging everything that you think is right in how you're supposed to swing a golf club. And maybe even some of the practice of swinging into out over and over and over is sort of spilling into your short game. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Oh, a hundred percent. It is right. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Because I was intentionally doing that coming from the inside, totally the practice, that warmup. And I think that's okay. I would rather see you though, if you're going to practice something or exaggerate something, exaggerating it for a shot that's beyond a hundred yards, right? Because inside of a hundred yards you can manipulate wedges so much. And because there's so much loft on the club, the rules that you hold very close and keep, how do I say this? They're the governing rules of how to swing a golf club or how to hit a golf ball properly. And they don't really apply to short game. Oddly. But like you said, you strike your irons while you putt just fine. It's driver and chipping that needs work and they need work the opposite ways. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast That's a revelation. All right. Should I hit a couple more chips? So it's interesting what you say, because my bunker play is pretty good. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional And this idea of what are you talking about? What we're going to be hitting my chips now is very, very similar because of the wide open. Yeah. And keeping that face open and definitely swinging and coming, coming across and steeper. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Yeah, absolutely. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional And I think that actually a really good way. Bunker shots and pitch shots are very similar in a number of ways. Pressure is forward. You're going to get steep. You keep your face open. I much prefer that method versus the method of in out super shallow, shut face. And to use Trackman to our advantage here. What you're doing on a bunker shot or a pitch shot is you're creating what's called a high amount of spin loft. So spin loft is essentially the difference between your angle of attack and the dynamic loft at impact. So let's just say for easy math, you have 10 degrees of loft, right? I know that's more than 10 but, and you hit 10 degrees down on the ball. Your spin loft is 20 degrees. So if you have a 10 degree driver and your balls teed up and you're hitting up on your driver five degrees and right at impact, you have that same 10 degrees of loft. Your spin lofts five degrees. See that the best players in the world. PGA tour players have the lowest spin loft with their long clubs. The reason that amateur golfers, recreational golfers struggle is because they get over the top steep and then they open the face. They increase the dynamic loft. They increase their angle of attack. So their angle of attack goes down, their loft goes up and they have a high spin loft. That's the spin loft. You can think of it that way, right? Where if you hit up on a driver, your angle of attack is more neutral and you close the face because you're swinging into out and you don't want to hit it a mile, right? So you close the face to draw it. You de-loft the club. Now you don't have much spin loft do you? This is how the best players in the world, Rory, Bryson, the guys who bomb it, this is their spin loft. They hit up at it with a shut face. The players who are poor drivers of the golf ball hit down at it with an open face. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast I think I know which one of those two categories I currently fall in. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Right? Not that I got to get to a Rory or Bryson level, but we're going to work toward that. But there's a lot of things you can learn from them, right? And when you look at their short games, they have high spin loft. So they hit down on the ball with a lot of loft. This is what we're doing. We're trying to hit down on this thing. Keep as much loft on that face as possible. Increase that spin loft. This is how good short games are built is high spin loft. Good drivers of the golf ball do the opposite. Now what you were showing me and your chipping was you're going very shallow, almost no angle of attack and trying to close the face. Your spin loft was pretty small for a chip shot, which is just a absolute death sentence. If you are in sand, if you are in thick rough, if you have a perfect lie in the fairway, that's nice and flat and you want to hit a little low runner, grab a pitching wedge or something like that. That's a great way to do it. But if you have a shot in the rough or if you have a shot in the bunker, you're trying to get down to it and some fescue grass or something like that, you need to add loft and chop down. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast All right. Well, I can see my numbers here already. I'm in the negatives. So hopefully we're going in the right direction. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional We like that. We like that. All right. Yes. We like that for pitching. Pitching in bunkers. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Awesome. Like that feels better already. Yeah. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional What's great about it too is look at the first few chips you were hitting for me, it's gone from 14 right to six left. We've changed your path 20 degrees. That's crazy. And now you're hitting the center of the face. That center of the face is going to increase your spin, right? Do you think you're going to get more spin off the toe or off the center? Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Definitely the center. Yes. 10 times out of 10. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional So what that's going to do for you is that's going to allow your ball to stop faster. 100% of the time, rough fairway, whatever bunkers, all the things, this is what we need to increase. When we are hitting a driver, do we want this to be high or low? To be low? Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Low. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Yes. Right. So how are we going to do that? We're going to hit up and close the face versus hitting down and opening. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast All right. Well, it seems like we've managed to flip the script on my, my chipping here. I'll hit one more. There we go. Using that bounce of the club. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Look at this. It's perfect. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast All right. Well we solved that part of my golf problem. Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional That was outstanding. Let's move on. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast What should we move on to next? Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Let's move up. Let's get a few iron swings in. I know that irons aren't really necessarily the problem child here, but why don't we move into something? Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast Seven iron here. I think there's a seven. Want to go with that? Quinn Vilneff - Class A PGA of Canada Teaching Professional Yeah, we can go with seven if you feel like you're loose and limber enough. If not, then I would suggest maybe a half dozen nine irons or eight irons somewhere in there. Colin Weston - Host of The ModGolf Podcast And then I can do that. I will to that. I think you're steering me towards the nine iron here. So we'll go with that. So that wraps up the first of three parts of my session with Quinn. Or yeah, we focused on the short game and see already that I've drastically improved rather than coming in shallow from the inside, which I should be doing with my driver. I'm now coming a steeper from the outside from the right and across exiting to the left. And it's made a huge impact positively for my short game already in my confidence is really built off that. So, Hey, two more videos coming with this part with Quinn. Next one is with my irons. We're going to be learning that and changing my motion and my sequencing. And then after that, I'm going to have that dreaded driver in my hands and trying to sort that one out. So, Hey, if you haven't watched our first video, I'll include the link for that. And that was my session, uh, that happened a couple of days before this was shot. And that was a couple of weeks ago now and halfway through my rebuild. I'm going to have more information for you on that too. But yeah, why don't you check that out? Also, I'll keep the link down below and connect to that video with Cameron where I had my Titleist Performance Institute fitness baseline test. And yeah, I've been working hard with him at Vancouver Golf Performance, getting my fitness up, getting ready for the golf season. Thanks for joining us and get ready for the next video.
