Thanks MSH. You give the best practical advice on UA-cam. Players of any level will benefit from your golf wisdom. Even though it's super gratifying to pull off a good flop shot I rarely attempt it if anything is on the line. (Can't make consistently good contact with normal shots let alone the razor thin margin needed for a successful flop shot.) I'll use it occasionally in a scramble. "Hit'em straight "
Love this approach Mistah Short Hitter. Have a good game plan for each hole and don't beat yourself up if you don't execute. Positioning your shots in the right places reduces disasters, and accepting poor execution will help you to identify the parts of your game that need improvement. Great lesson, thank you.
Thanks for the tips, I have been onboard with you and your ideas around the greens and chipping for awhile. Recently adopted the left hand low putting style. Practiced it for a couple weeks, tried it during a few rounds for a few holes. Dedicated to it about 6 rounds ago. Have dropped my average putts per round from 36-38 to 32,
I'll say this: Being subscribed to this channel has taught me a lot about golf. One of the most important things is that it doesn't matter how far you can hit a ball. What matters is your game plan for each hole. I'm still pretty much a beginner (3-1/2 years). I wish that ALL beginners would subscribe to this channel b/c of what I've learned: RULE 1. Do the best with what you've got (which applies to both skill as well as situations in which you may find yourself). RULE 2. Make a plan. RULE 3. Don't lose your cool if your plan goes south on you; go back to rule #1. RULE 4. The only guarantee in golf is that not every hole is going to be a success. Yeah...I got all of that from this channel. Big thanks to my friend who told me about you. :-}
Thanks for the tips. On another note, when I switched to left hand low putting, I started to get wrist pain in my right wrist, so switched back to "traditional". Did you encounter any wrist pain when you switched to Left hand Low?
Thanks MSH. Can I ask you and everyone out there. Why not use the “flop” shot? Seems the perfect choice when having little green to work with. So often I see people chip and the ball screaming past the hole. Where a flop would have been a better option. Thanks MSH 🤘😎
I'm a mid-80's shooter so I'm decent. To me, personally, a "flop shot" is a very risky maneuver that I would only use under ideal conditions and how I'm playing that day. There's a lot that has to go right and a lot that can go wrong. The biggest item is being able to gauge the swing length with the required distance; too little and you come up short, too much and you're long. MSH has the right idea and I've used his philosophy of finding the right miss location on the courses I've regularly played. I play one par 4 (#10 at Cog Hill - Ravines) as a 3-shot hole, there's too much risk any other way. I'd rather have a decent chance at putting for par than the alternatives.
@@bchbum4 Thank you...New to golf but love it and boy-o-boy is it challenging. So the FLOP is a high risk shot, but looks so sweet when stuck. Thank you and yes I understand the Limiting the risk vs reward MSH is talking about. We are not pro's so: Chip = 75% success within 15 feet and worst case a 2 putt(the remaining 25% = 3 putting. Flop = 35% success within 5 feet and 1 putt but a 65% of 3 putting. I understand the odds, but Bryson DeChambeu makes it look so easy 🤣 Thank you 👍
The flop is a good choice with little green to work with. Watching the first hole of this video will be a good explanation. The goal is to miss in better locations, so you don't have to resort to the flop shot. Most people don't hit 1000's of flop shots in practice to have a chance of getting the precision of Bryson. I hit flop shots, typically as a result of a shot missed in the wrong location.
My takeaways 1. Don't short side yourself with fast greens (period) 2.Water and OBs are an easy +2 to your score 3. You and Dave Pelz say get GOOD at 150yds and in and 6 feet on the greens. Sound words for us serious goofers

Thanks for the sound advice. Great video
Thank you for watching!
Great tips! Playing short of pins on fast greens and putting whenever possible work well for me.

For most people, a flop shot can result in missing the green short or blading it over the green.
Ego gets in the way of a lot of golfers when it comes to coarse management. Good tips MSH!
Thank you!
Hello mistah , can you do a golf review of the maxifli softfli golf ball 🙏
You got it!
Just curious, which golf ball do you use in a tournament, and why?
I've played the Srixon Zstar for a couple years now. Maybe I'll give all the reasons in an upcoming video.
@@mistahshorthitter please do. That would be interesting.
Perhaps your best video of all time! Maybe you should re-christen yourself MISTAH SMART HITTER. Thanks.
@@bradleyanderson247 Thank you so much!!!!
Golden nuggets! Great video. If my ball goes rolling off the green like that on a semi-good putt, I will positively (not negatively) say bad werdZ!🙂
@montymeyer7172 Thank you, Monty!
When is the next live MSH ?
@@BriantheLion13 I'm going to schedule one soon.

Yes!
People don't realize how much course management can lower your score well done.
