Having watched and subbed since your first video I'm impressed by how much you've improved since then. It's really just tidying up the short game & putting and you'd be playing around a 15-18 handicap. Good stuff!
Great job Dennis! One recommendation - Get a custom made putter headcover with the words "Hands of Stone". 😂 I feel your pain. Waiting for more best ball with Stephen, you two rock!
great round again! Well done adopting the toe down chipping and the bump and run. I know this is super dorky, but I'm working on a theory of breaking 100 for golfers who don't have a lot of time to practice or like me don't have a lot of energy. (I have long covid) Much is adopted from Golf Sidekick, but it's basically only use a tee club that will get you in play at least 80% of the time, don't try long approaches to greens instead lay up to big safe fairway areas, only use short irons to try for greens, practice should mainly be wedges and putting. Since you seem to be using a very similar strategy, I tabulated your last 2 rounds (this is the dorky part). what I found: - your tee shots were 74% in play, so pretty close - your long irons from fairway & rough stayed in play 88%, so great. - your short irons were great: on the green 59%, and not in trouble another 27% - about 2/3 of your bad shots came from long irons, either off the tee or off the deck. - you can have 20% of your iron shots be poor shots (slices, tops, chunks) and still break 100 - you can get in the trees and bunkers a fair amount and still break 100 - your chipping was great, 80% getting on the green - you were still able to break 100 despite the putting woes. - you averaged 40 putts per round, and you only made 70% from
1st hole 2 iron.. very smart! Shorter clubs can still get you in trouble, but it's usually must less than a driver. I am a 19.2 and shot a 89 today by not using my driver as much as the people I played with who were perhaps better golfers but, shot in the 90's. Just keep doing what you do best as your laugh made me laugh out loud with you today and keep working on those short putts! Cheers!
I feel your pain.....Sometimes ill open up a round shooting 7 on a par 4 and 8 or 9 on the next hole par 5 then play the rest of the round with pars and bogeys chasing my bad start off a couple of bad holes. I think keeping your bad holes to double bogey and bogey really is the key to good golfin!!! Keep striping them mate!!
Great video once again dennis ..keep them coming .. your attitude is spot on .. keep smiling and move to the next hole 😁 love it.... best way to get through a round .... i think all bunkers should be filled in for health and safety risk of getting sand in your eyes 🤣🤣 think i might shave 8 shots off my card trying to get out of them . Thing i noticed was your rotation was a bit stiff in this video. Not getting inside too our as much . Keep up the great work . All the best
Magic Dennis. i have just started playing again thanks to your you tube videos. Golf is a great game, one minute you can take anyone on. Next minute why do i bother. Anyway, new putter ordered.
On the way to 10K. The more people see your winning attitude. The more people will subscribe. Oh, and the golf. What can we say about the golf, that hasn't been said already? (In hushed tones under our breath). LoL Glad to be here for the ride. You're just fun and easy to root for.
I have 22 in hcp. Struggling with exactly the same thing as you. But if I really focus on the ball and try to do it every time I hit the ball I'm really okay, but my focus gets tired and 6-8 holes goes very very bad. And of course I need to practice much more from my 6 times every season. Keep on, keep struggling 😊
As the rest of the family are out on the golf course today, my eldest daughter (currently still 14 years old), with whom I played a 2-day daughter-father tournament last weekend (and she won it, by the way🏆😉), my youngest daughter (5 years old) and I watched your round on our own. Fun fact in between: Shot 2 on hole 3, spontaneous reaction of my 5-year-old: "Gnihihihihihi !"... very simultaneously to your cameraman, whose giggles I didn't even notice because of my daughter when I first watched.😉😁 🤔My 14-year-old brought up what I also noticed: you talked about "slicing" several times, but it wasn't always a slice off the tee. I'm sure that if you had a club on the ground aligned with your stance, the line would have been pointing to the right from the start and very precisely where the ball landed. Best example: hole 13, I think. You could see that very clearly there. And with your pulled shot 4 there, I think you were already aligned towards the left edge of the green from the start. Observe that... Well... Overall, however, I think you could see good progress today, especially long time with your putting. And - of course - we really, really enjoyed being part of your private round again. At all a nice round. Congratulations for it..👏 Salutations des Caraïbes françaises ...
Very good 2 iron play,i use only 2 iron from tees and 16 handicap. Would recommend a utility irion,several degrees choices and easier to hit,youd be well capable
Im a mid to high handicapper and something my teacher told me which helped fix my slice was shortening my backswing. Shortening it stopped me from coming over and slicing to the right
@@KillaCam_88 I must admit slicing isn’t a common miss, this round I just couldn’t figure it out. Great tip though I try not to over swing as a swing thought 💪
I was SO eager for this next Chapter Dennis after My comments about your putting last time out. Clearly you ARE making changes to that and these things aren't "Instant Payouts" are they ? First couple of holes your putting stroke seemed less "Snatchy" and your face was a picture of bliss. However, PLEASE remember that the moment BEFORE you stand over a putt is the moment that your "Golf Guardian Angel" gently inspires you, so listen intently then and all is good. If not then the second after that, what the late Great Peter Alliss called "Devils in The Brainbox" WILL brashly gatecrash your tranquil putting party, tilt the green and shrink the hole. We KNOW that The Gods of Golf are Wilful & Capricious. Please Dennis, listen to your "Golf Guardian Angel".
@@BogeyGolfUK Still THE MOST WATCHABLE honest Golfer Channel Dennis. Golf with a total smile. Never ever gonna see clubs lashed into ponds on Bogey Golf. I KNOW that you're going to click and TOTALLY SMASH IT soon ! And so do you !!
great vid, lovely looking course. really need to sharpen up those chips. very handsy, trying to get the ball airborne. lay the wedge on the ground, stand on the face and the angle of the shaft is the trajectory of the ball. take the club back and through, no need to try and flip the ball with the hands or wrists. but you're getting closer to breaking 95, keeping going, and keep posting the vids!
hey man, I'd love to see you try and put into practice the GolfSidekick's strategies for higher handicapers. This could give your videos a different twist (now and again) and could also help with the scores! Anyways love your positive attitude! keep going strong! You're doing super well!
Hey man, I feel like I sort of do a 50% golf sidekick strategy, no driver or woods and rarely go for long hero shots to the green. Thanks for watching 💪
Golf is about getting the ball in the hole in the least number of strokes. There’s no necessity to play a driver ever. Its a common mistake. Play what you’re comfortable with. And play each shot with thought to the next one
Another great video. Well edited, nice scenic shots and background music. As for your playing, clearly improving across all your shots. I noticed you seemed to be trying to swing your irons harder/faster this video compared to your last few, and you kept slicing etc. Edit: haha i posted this before i got to the part of the video where you acknowledge this
Doesn't matter what par the hole is it all counts the same for trying to hit a scoring goal. I guess you could get more confidence on the par 5 from the name given to the strokes to complete it being 1 less, but nothing to fret over.
When you say you're playing the yellow tees there, are those the tees just behind the forward tees? I know different colors have different colors of tee. I say try to go back to the driver to help with distance. Thanks for the video. I always enjoy them.
Dennis this was a little hard to watch….a lot of opportunities missed. Your tempo seems off. You take it back super slow and then your first move is to throw your upper body at the ball causing a lot of shots to be pulled left. Smoother tempo and then turn left hip first followed by your upper body. You should look at Ben Hogans Book Five Lessons…it’s short and sweet. I’ve got to go shank some balls…happy golfing.
It's your tempo. You are rushing at the top, getting stuck on your trail side.. You are young and athletic. But you look mechanical. 😅 Find timing, because you have a decent swing. 👌 You didn't lose a ball.🎉 I lose 2 balls a round. You will be long and shooting 85 with a swing count... Cheers
I've never seen a high HC player play a round and not use hybrids/fairway woods. Fair play if it works for you but they are so much more forgiving than long irons...
@@BogeyGolfUK it's because you are very steep, it's also the reason you take massive beaver tail divots 😂 try taking the club away slightly on the outside then take your right thumb of the club half way through your back swing, the weight of the club will naturally drop it to the inside (into the slot), your thumb is preventing that atm.
