  • Today I shot my first ever hole out at the Admiral Baker Golf Course in San Diego. It's been 301 days since I started playing golf, and currently on the quest to break 85 on this journey from Scratch to Scratch.

    We both started playing golf around the same time. I am shooting around 20 handicap currently. I have not had any lessons but i have seen all of yours and many others on UA-cam and i apply everything to my game. I record myself and break everything down, then go back out and try to fix the problems. My only focus recently has been short game and i plan to make that 80 percent of my game plan moving forward. I was on the range all winter and struggled with my irons once on the course, hitting on real grass until i added more extension and rotation to my backs swing and its been improving. Keep up the hard work and thanks for sharing. Your lessons have helped my game tremendously over the last 10 months. Good luck breaking 85

    This is a good course for you. You can hit irons on most drives and your swing looks much better when you're not trying to kill it. Your distance control, on your short shots, will get much better with practice. Go to a chipping green, with a friend, and play closest to the pin, while shooting at all the different pin placements. Lots and lots of practice.

    Been here since Day 1. Your swing is looking great when you're not trying to kill it. I think youre close to consistent 80s:
    *No more swing changes.
    *Work on the short game.
    *Work on putting.
    *No, seriously, no more swing changes. You dont need anything but more reps.
    You got this.

    You arent gonna break 80 if you dont have something like a short game. You have enough length, but the course was also wide open other courses will punish you for being so off line. Pump the breaks focus on short game, which should be double the time you put on the range and set some realistic goals which right now should be breaking 90 consistently.

    Most fairways Ive seen you hit in a round. You took the driver out of your hand most holes and gave yourself a chance at scoring well. If you go back I bet you will realize 95% of your bogeys and doubles were from short game. Time for short game practice.

  • @jeffreylawrence9172
    @jeffreylawrence9172 6 місяців тому

    Looking good. Most beginners start from the Whites, but you started from the Blue and now shooting under 100. We had the golden rule of picking up after 8 strokes aka Snowman from the Whites to keep the game moving. You still have to learn how to use your shoulders and feet for Direction. A lot of your shots are pure and you think the club was opened. Nope. You'll shoot in 80's when you do what your instructors say. You are over swinging. Finish the swing with the club going towards the target and not behind you. Watching other golfers will make you swing differently-testosterone. Momentum will take the club behind you after you get finishing club towards target. Some of your finishes are under your waist causing a slice.

    @edsimps123 6 місяців тому

    Love watching your videos you are making a basic error in my opinion you are not taking enough notice of where you are aiming your feet are usually way right of your target your brain will then compensate by changing your swing so everything you are learning you're not doing you need to pay more attention to your lines and where you're aiming a lot more attention

  • @jamesdavis5517
    @jamesdavis5517 6 місяців тому

    The lessons are great, the course play is a little disappointing because you show some real ability on the lesson tee. When you’re on the course it becomes about the game which is target, not swing. Target is your imagination programming your body as you saddle up to the shot at hand. See the trajectory, see and hear it bounce, see the roll out...act. It’s amazing how well you play when you master the visualisation in your pre-shot routine...and putting is just a variation of this.

    Good job. Work on things one thing at a time, like your last lesson. Yow will break 85 soon.
    I would call that shot a chip in though any last shot that goes in the hole is technically a hole out, it usually is followed by a distance. I
    holed out from 50 yards, but around or putting it's I chipped in, or I putted out or in, usually followed by a distance.
    Think of the description of the shot as how to play it. Pitch, just like a pitch underhand, Lob etc... avoid words like, crush, kill, destroy, as these will tighten you up and you want to be loose. When hitting a jump shot would you think I am crushing this?
    Think, smooth, relaxed, calm.
