    Not sure why people are calling Dan boring. He's calm, collected and a great golfer. His calmness is something I wish I had on course. He's not a UA-camr, he's not a celebrity, he's a very talented young golfer who just struggles to put his thoughts into words because it comes naturally to him after all his years of hard work. Imagine someone jumped in your car and asked you to explain exactly what you're doing as you drive. The bunker and flop shot tips are getting tested ASAP! Cheers

    What I loved about the video is how Dan doesn't let any doubt come into his thinking before he hits his shots. He visualizes the shot....knows that he has hit the shot countless times before...and then let's muscle memory take over and makes the swing necessary to complete the shot!
    I know even when I was carrying a 4...I was always questioning myself on certain shots... especially ones where I needed to hit a draw, or a low shot into the wind.
    Once the practice range is back open, I know what I need to work on... visualizing each shot on the range instead of just hacking balls down range!!!!
    One of the best videos ever Liam!!! Big thanks for Dan letting us in on how his mind works when playing!! 👍👍👍👍👍

    This video is pure "Gold" and what a player Dan is. He has such a good smooth swing, just class and those flop shots, unbelievable. The insight players like this give to handicap players on course management is just great but of course Dan has the talent as well to carry out the shots he visualises. What a player. Thanks to Liam for bringing Dan on the chanel again and Joe, once again wonderful production....

    I understand I’m commenting to an old vid. Oh well …
    I don’t see this the same as many. I didn’t once see the pro golfer as boring or dry. I was in awe. He was just super focused and serious and matter-of-fact. And he was oozing confidence. I mean … it was the purpose of the vid, to show the difference between a +3 and a 10 or 16 hcp. Now we see … it’s miles difference. Loved the video, Liam.

    VG tips on bunkers and the flop shot. Major differences between pro’s and us amateurs is their course management. U R correct Liam, us amateurs could get our HC down a lot further if we applied correct course management. That’s why OMP is off 11 at 80 yrs of age.

  • @devivoman
    @devivoman 4 роки тому +3

    One thing I would add to the bunker lesson; its an all arms shot, keep your lower body quiet through the swing, you open your stance at address to mimic where your lower body would be at impact of a full swing, but the swing itself is mostly arms. I use this same concept for flop shots and I get relatively positive results.

  • @Stephens857

  • @simonleach3812
    @simonleach3812 4 роки тому +3

    Pitching out of the rough: If grass gets between t'clubface and t'ball, the ball will come out hot with less backspin because the grass prevents the grooves from doing their job i.e. the grass stops t'grooves from grabbing t'ball. So t'ball will release more when it lands. In this case, t'ball was lying well, and the ball came out soft because there was little or no grass between t'face and t'ball. Most of us mortals just want to get t'ball onto t'green or at least leave a good miss for a chip and a putt.

      @@GolfMates I get Adam's post though. I work with a fella who was a 2 handicap golfer. He stopped playing because he said the difference with his game and mine (19 handicapper) was, where I could have a few really bad holes but still post a decent net total, his whole card could be ruined if he had a really bad hole. It got to the point where it messed with his head and he stopped playing. (Obviously, he wasn't a tour pro, but played at a decent amateur level). His enjoyment disappeared completely and he hasn't played for 10 + years.

    Interesting, 95% of all golfers hardly reach more than 250 yards with their driver, but 95% of all UA-cam recommendations regarding the driver are aimed at the 5% who hit further than 250 yards. 🤣😂🤣

      I would think more like 5% can't hit 300 plus. If you're watching golf on UA-cam I would think you're at least a decent golfer. 250 yards is a very responsible number for most.

      adrian lawson I guess it depends how you define success. I’ve met many successful people who aren’t, but golf seems to produce more of these arseholes than many other sports, probably due to the fact most people who are at elite levels of golf are middle/upper class and have grown up with a silver spoon up their arse.
