here<\/a>.)<\/p>\nAnd yes, they talked about how to hit out of a divot.<\/p>\n
\u201cOr you could just do what Kevin does,\u201d Nick Jonas said, \u201cand just move it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the 26-minute show, there were eight other notable golf insights from Korda. They are below.<\/p>\n
How does Korda handle big-stage nerves?<\/p>\n
Joe Jonas wondered about this.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy routine,\u201d Korda said. \u201cSome people call it superstition, but a routine, it\u2019s always something that you fall back on. It\u2019s the same over and over and over again, but when you get a little nervous \u2014 and they\u2019re excitement jitters. It\u2019s not nervousness where it\u2019s a bad nervousness, but they\u2019re excited to go again, being on that first tee if it\u2019s for a major.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd for me, it\u2019s my routine. I fall back on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
What does it look like?<\/p>\n
\u201cI have my practice swing,\u201d Korda said, \u201cI lock into my target, talk to my caddie, and then I go.\u201d<\/p>\n
When will Korda \u2018reassess\u2019 playing pro golf?<\/p>\n
This came up after Joe Jonas asked whether Korda enjoyed practicing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like to play alone,\u201d Korda started. \u201cI\u2019m a loner out there. I just like when I\u2019m out on the golf course, I have to give it 100 percent. And I\u2019m always practicing, but I\u2019m having fun. Like I\u2019ll like skip off the tee. Like I\u2019m there like with my coach obviously, but I\u2019m like, I hit a good shot and I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh my god, that was so good.\u2019 Like I\u2019m still like a little girl when I\u2019m at golf.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I tell myself all the time when I\u2019m not like that, then I think it\u2019s time to kind of reassess what I\u2019m doing. But right now, I\u2019m feeling the jitters on the first tee \u2014 I want to feel that. And I\u2019m also excited when I\u2019m going out to practice. I\u2019m completely burnt out when I\u2019m like, \u2018OK, I need to go practice. I don\u2019t want to go, but I need to go.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018I never slam my clubs\u2019 \u2014 except that one time\u00a0<\/p>\n
What\u2019s the most embarrassing thing Korda has done on the course? She had a story that included her caddie, Jason Dede.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never slam my clubs,\u201d she started. \u201cAnd the first year Jason started caddying for me, I took the butt end of the club \u2014 so I gripped it by the head of the club \u2014 and I slammed it into the ground right in front of him and it ricocheted back and hit me into the mouth and I had a bloody lip. I thought I knocked out my teeth.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd he was like, \u2018I thought if I laughed, I would get fired right there.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
How does Korda \u2018decompress\u2019 when she doesn\u2019t play well?<\/p>\n
Joe Jonas asked this.<\/p>\n
\u201cPut the clubs away for a little bit if I have the time,\u201d Korda said. \u201cIf I only have a week, it\u2019s like back to grind mode.\u201d<\/p>\n
McDede and her team also help, she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s always in my corner,\u201d Korda said of McDede. \u201cThat\u2019s I think the best thing about my career that I love so much is my team. Yeah, I\u2019m winning and I\u2019m hitting the shots, but there\u2019s so much going on behind the scenes and like I wouldn\u2019t be where I am without them.\u201d<\/p>\n
How does Korda decompress after a win?<\/p>\n
Kevin Jonas asked this. After a show, he said the group needs hours to decompress.\u00a0Korda said she needs a burger.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe post win meal is always Five Guys burgers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
What goes on it?<\/p>\n
\u201cI like mustard, ketchup, mushrooms and that\u2019s it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Does Korda have a \u2018go-to golfing drink?\u2018<\/p>\n
Something with electrolytes. No booze.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never had an alcoholic beverage on a golf course,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Nor has she had one the night before a round.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like a pilot wouldn\u2019t have a drink the night before,\u201d Nick Jonas said.<\/p>\n
How do you get young golfers hooked?<\/p>\n
Nick Jonas asked this. He said his 5-year-old daughter, Malti, is getting started in golf.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always about the fundamentals,\u201d Korda said. \u201cEven I revert back to the fundamentals. So knowing how you grip, knowing your weight distribution, the small things.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut also at that age, you want to make it fun. You want to play a lot of games. And I had a great coach where we were hitting flop shots over trees. She would do like five minutes of technique work and then the rest of it was just to play games and to really fall in love with the game and fuel my competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n
What should an \u2018up-and-coming\u2019 golfer focus on most?<\/p>\n
Kevin Jonas\u2019 daughter, Alina, asked this.<\/p>\n
Short game, Korda said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of short game,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Korda then talked about a drill she \u201cloved\u201d when she was younger.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s called the six-ball drill,\u201d Korda said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard. So you pick an easy, medium and hard. And you have to make six up-and-downs in a row. And if you don\u2019t, then you can\u2019t move on to the next one, or you can\u2019t leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
At times, Korda said, the drill took her a couple of hours to finish.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I did not make six up-and-downs in a row,\u201d she said. \u201cSo a bunker shot, you have to actually make the putt, too. It\u2019s challenging. But on that sixth putt, you\u2019re feeling pressure.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that\u2019s what you feel out on the golf course.\u201d<\/p>\n
