What Patrick Reed Did Differently This Week

Golf Magazine posted an article late Friday examining why Patrick Reed is playing better in this Masters than in past majors. It's an interesting look at how his preparation has changed after a talk with his coach, Kevin Kirk. I'm going to pull a couple of quotes for this post.

Early on, the item rates Kirk:

"I told him in Mexico that his golf sport rings a bell in my memory of whilst someone leaves an oven on in a residence," said his train Kevin Kirk, who has grooved Reed's swing in view that 2011. "All you need to do is light a fit."
Later on, we learn what happened when Reed arrived at Augusta:

With his swing clicking, he arrived in town remaining week, and rather than killing time on mechanics, he and his teach took a deeper dive on the path itself. On Reed's first exercise day at Augusta, he spent 8 hours at the course however performed simply four holes: 1, 2, 12 and 13. "We read the slopes, practiced at the pin positions, formed plans for exclusive winds," Kirk said. "In his mind, he's prepared."
There's a lot more to Reed's preparation than just focusing on four holes, of course. He arrived at the course last Friday and has been at work ever since. The article goes into a fair amount of detail about the strategic work he did, as well as his mindset for using that strategy this weekend.

But, as you no question have guessed, you'll want to read the object to get all that. And within the process, you simply may choose up a few hints you could use to your own recreation.
