ARCHIVE from LIVE Q&A with Scott Piercy, Tuesday, March 25

[gophers79]

Sorry, I keep coming up with more!

I know you mentioned that you play older clubs because you haven't found anything you like better yet. I've found that a good set of clubs is something that's hard to replace for me... can you comment on the seeming ease with which some tour players change drivers / irons every year?

How many pairs of golf shoes do you own?

Thanks for answering the first question ... How much time do you spend working on fitness and flexability ? I have been working with my coach and physio every 3 weeks but I find it hard to do it at home as I lack motivation and get lazy. Do you have any thoughts or want to share what you work on?

fitness is def a part of the game. almost as much as being at the course praticing. and if your lazy and not motivated then i wont worry about you taking my spot on tour

[CMUgol4]

Thanks for coming on here.

Do you have a favorite tournament (non-major)?

Also, who should I pick for my fantasy golf this week (I'm tanking and need all the help I can get)?

Really cool of you to take the time and answer some questions on here Mr. Piercy! Thank you!

There are so many great golfers on the PGA Tour, the Web.com Tour, even top level amateurs. What are one or two key things that you think separates a PGA Tour pro from a great golfer on the Web.com Tour or top level amateur that just can't quite make the jump to the next level yet?

What advice would you give a good amateur player on how to improve their game?

its different for everyone. work harder than the next guy!

Thanks for joining Scott....you are one of my favorite players!!!

Can you comment on your game, specifically the streakiness! (don't mean that rude) To me your game is like in basketball when a shooter gets hot and can't miss. What is the "switch" for you? or the Why?
[/quote]

i think its more of horses for courses and of late only having one good aarm the past nine months

[thatboygaule]

How long do you stretch for before going out? And what do you stretch? the Christmas tree muscles ?

Another one: what do you do to handle the nerves of a big tournament when you're playing well / in contention? Any go-to tips or thoughts that help you calm down and focus on the shot at hand?

focus on the process

How come you no longer use Michael Collins as a caddie?
[/quote]

cuz he is too tall! lol

Good answer! Was the bag bigger than him?

Is he as funny in person as he is on the radio?

Have any books influenced your game or thought process in anyway? If so, which ones?

Thank you for the responses!

I was in the gallery at PGA National in 2012 when I believe you caved in the hole on the 5th green with your tee shot. It had to have been the 2nd round. Do you remember the shot?

[thatboygaule]

Is there a way to stop thinking about what might happen after getting off to a good start ? I' ve often been a few under and thinking if I birdie here and here I can go real low but then I "choke" so to speak and finish up over par

[CMUgol4]

What's the one rule that most of the guys on tour would like to change or get rid of ?

[pga43]

Follow Scott on Twitter ask him your question and when he does a Q&A there he may answer some of the questions he missed.

Thanks, Scott!

[bjackson]

Thanks for coming on Scott! Great to hear your responses.

I can answer that one for you. Sand filled divots should be played as ground under repair.

[aswo3332]

Scott,

Awesome of you to do this. What is a typical day of practice for you like?

Thanks

[thatboygaule]

I can't believe this wasn't more popular! How often do you get a chance to ask a tour pro questions

[TooMuchAwesome]

Dude, that was so cool to read through. Thank you golfWRX guys who work so hard to make this site the BEST golf forum out there, bar none! Excited for future chats, and it's great to see how the site has grown over the past 5 or so years I've hung around.

[BCULAW]

Awesome read. Thanks for taking the time.
