yes he plays  about 5 times slower   than Rory

I’m constantly yelling “just hit the ball already!,” while watching a tournament. Spieth was on the end of a few yesterday.

4 missed putts inside of 8’ on 4 straight holes. Tournament over. Just a bad stretch of holes. I wasn’t watching every putt, but Jordan seemed to be looking at the hole on short putts (which he was missing) and looking at the ball on longer putts. He and Greller will get it figured out. Still my favorite player on tour.

Might not be as easy as you think.  It depends.  I’ve been accused of the same. I get “ chatty “ while playing golf.  I like the mechanical side of all of it. And I have a bad habit of talking to my ball. Your ball , and thinking out loud about what just happened,   But I’m actually introverted.  By a wide Margin in most other settings.  
 

sooo. Things like alcohol or other non stimulant substances are really counterproductive to the point of falling asleep. So it may shut jordan up.  But it likely will do just like me.  Make him unable to function .  It almost certainly wouldn’t be a plus for him.  And the reason is this.  The constant stream of consciousness that is seen as a plague by the outside , isn’t.  It’s the mechanism by which his art is made. Cut it off and he’s probably out of a job.  He’s not hyperactive. He’s just one that needs all info available. 
 

what would be more interesting is to figure out why it bothers some people ?  Does it interrupt your own self talk internally ?  Not an attack. I’m genuinely curious.     I can tell you in the moment it feels like everyone in the groups is constantly chattering.  But at some point certain people will single me out.  And then here is the funniest part.  I’ll zip it.  And inevitably then someone takes my silence as “ why you mad”.  I’m not. Just following directions.  Lol. Can’t make you people happy.    Had teachers in school try to get me to speak.  When I finally did. I’d get in trouble for not shutting up.  Humans are funny creatures.  How’s that ?!  🤣

 

😄😃😃 Zip it.  (j/k)

Nice guy.  But on every shot that's 40 seconds of my life I can't get back.  When I'm ready to check out of this life I'll be asking Jordan for my 4 hours, 22 minutes and 12 seconds back.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to figure it out, his struggle with the short putts isn't a recent occurrence. If you look at his stats over the years he usually ranks is in the top 10 on long putts but his ranking nose dives on putts 10' and in. Can tell from his body language that he's uncomfortable over the short ones.

The more he misses short putts the more uncomfortable he becomes.  I'm terribly uncomfortable at about 6 feet.

You hit the nail - it interrupts my own internal self-talk. I agree we are all different and I'm more of an internal thinker.  People who are more demonstrative out loud is aok with me, but a verbal avalanche of minutia can cross over into annoying.

He should fix his inconsistent forward press and try out the Sergio eyes closed putting for a while.

To be clear though, he's hitting very few poor shots.  The only thing he can't do right now is putt:

 

https://www.pgatour.com/players/player.34046.jordan-spieth.html

 

SG off the tee: .467 (26th)

approach: .643 (13)

around the green: .259 (39)

putting: -.386 (177)

tee to green: 1.37 (8)

Needs a mallet 😉
