Episode notes
Process Beats Vibes
- Jeff Ma and Rufus stress quantifiable process over vague "vibes" when evaluating team performance and decisions.
- Small, repeatable process gains (e.g., pairing choices) matter more than unmeasurable chemistry in outcomes.
Don't Cluster Top Players
- Avoid pairing your two best players together in formats where you need variance to catch up.
- Spread top talent to increase independent scoring opportunities instead of clustering certainty.
Conviction Shows In Small Details
- Clear preparation and consistent process (e.g., tee order in alternate shot) signal conviction and reduce costly in-event confusion.
- Lack of a communicated, rehearsed plan can magnify mistakes in high-pressure formats.
