Please hit the thumbs up button the video! Also, what grip do you game? 👇🏼
Hi Alex I have had 2 years off I was a 10 but I’ve gone up to 13 . Im so nervous with my driver and 3 wood . Would there be any way of you looking at my swing and advising on a training plan at the range or something?
why are you stealing saguto golfs titles? real shitty
yes now I remember good tactics and know the distance of your clubs
Guarantee to take 5 strokes of your score: skip the next par 3
huh?
Old golf joke my boy 🤣 @@AlexElliottGolf
Just 5? 😂
😂
😂😂😂
All good information Alex on how to slash one's handicap! Now that I'm a senior golfer, I try to manage a golf course differently than when I was younger. Now, I'm going for pars and boggy as opposed to birdies and eagles. Therefore, I use a lot of lay up shots and middle of the green shots as you recommend. I like your suggestion of dividing the score card into three hole increments. I can see where this "refocusing" would help if the round wasn't going as it should. Good Job Alex!
Great advice, 5 things I had never thought of doing, appreciate all your instructional videos , Darran
Great video Alex, thanks
Excellent insights!
Alex, spot on especially the par 5 tip. I do it all the time now. Much safer shot than going for the green I use a strong interlocking grip. Tried all grips and like the interlocking best. Great video.
Excellent tips! I have started using shorter, more accurate shots from the fairway and my scores have improved. Thank you!
Great content! Thanks
Great course management video...
I love the tips for hitting the low shot with long irons! My 4i is super under utilised
You are brilliant in your theories 👏
Love those high percentage plays. Works out so much better. Thanks.
Such excellent advice. I love course management ideas. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Some great help Alex. Thank you😊
Happy to help!
Great tip on the Par 5. I always go for my fairway wood or hybrid and end up topping it.
Alex, really enjoy your channel. Your short and to the point tips are very insightful. Your best for me to date was shortening the grip on the driver and not hitting so hard. Keep up the good work!
Great to hear! Thank you
Great practical advice!
Great tip on course management
Great video Alex. I might put my laser yardage scope away and use the yardage makers on the course. I get too focused on the flag yardage and not the middle of the green. Thanks.
Alex, your videos have helped me so much this year. I am hitting my drives better and my approach shots are more consistent. I appreciate your approach to helping “duffers” improve. Stay well, Bob
Thank you so much bob!!!
Your content has been lower my score, thanks so much
You are 100% correct with those tips. Just get it on the green, learn the punch shot and play within yourself on long approaches. Yes I want to get on in two, but the chances are slim to none for us average golfers. Sometimes on a long par 3 with terrible bunkers and trouble I play it like a short par 4. A nice close chip and on is better than in a bunker or in a bush.
I love the way you think and instruct. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
Brilliant. I have that where I always feel I need to go for it. 😂 I thought that is what I was supposed to do. Thumbs up
Well done alex 🏌♂️ 👏 👍
your tip on hitting under the tree branches and stil getting the ball down range was very helopful as I am way to often in that situation - the gripping down should help me next time. thanks
Thanks
Awesome vid mate, makes so much sense yet we never really think about it... Keep the great content coming...
Thanks, will do!
Great tips Alex - I love the grip down or grip up
Thank you! and interesting
That was excellent thanks Alex.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great tips Alex
Glad you like them!
Alex, I have improved tremendously watching your tips. I will be fitted soon and buying new clubs. My current shaft weight is a bit heavy for me so I hope that further helps.
So good to hear this! Hope you get sorted with new clubs
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Terrific tips. Will remember them alex
Thanks Alex - just come back from the course. Had to play a 170 yd low shot under trees from elevated ground (I knew I’d not make the green but thought about your advice)- down the grip, back in stance, punch and finished short in the follow through - boom finished 5 yards from the green and made an easy par 🎉
Great video, Alex. I feel I'm a very good course manager and have always played par 5's like you described. I'm a shorter hitter, so why take a risky shot that might not even get there, when I can divide the distance in half and play two higher percentage shots versus one lower percentage higher risk shot. Combining that with your tip of going to the middle of the green will create so many more birdie opportunities with par being the worst case scenario. Thanks for a great mental game and course management video. Great stuff.
Thank you, good to hear from your perspective too
I have played golf for 30 years and currently a 3.1. I have found golfers at all levels try to go for everything. I had the luxury of escorting pros and the biggest difference outside of talent is course management. Ill take a two putt par on a par five over a scrambling par any day
…,,,,or a 7 or 8.
Great tips. Thanks Alex! Any tips/videos on approach shots from uneven lies / rough..making the smart decision/club selection in these situations. Thanks in advance.
Yes, that would be a good idea for a video!
That was really good information! Honestly and I am going to try to do it next time playing. Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Alex! More course management coaching is what we want.
More to come!
Hit the green in 2 on a par 5. Maybe for you but, in my dreams for me. Your video s have helped me improve my gave. You keep putting them out and I’ll keep watching.
Thanks so much!!
Just a suggestion on the par 5 lay up tip. I am absolutely deadly with my gap wedge at 80 yards using a three quarter back swing. So for me, whenever I am laying up, I am looking to get to that 80 yard spot. So the suggestion is, find a short iron you can be very consistent at to a particular yardage and use that yardage when making your lay up shot. Great video as always, thanks.
All of your tips seriously helped me break my goal of 40 on 9. Shot a 38. I usually shoot 42 to 44. Thank you so much!!!!!
You are so welcome !! Great work
Maybe you meant your goal of 13 , then 14, then 13 on the first 3, 3-6, and 7-9 holes, instead of 40 on front 9, as Alex instructed. Joking
Fantastic I will try????????? to remember. All the best on this Labour Day from Canada
All the best!
Thank you for 4 excellent tips.
For older golfers or short hitters we can alter the distances for pitch shots to the green.
eg. My normal pitching wedge has a total distance of 80 yards.
thank you! appreciate that
I appreciate clear easy to follow, practical advice.
Golf Pride midsize tour wraps. Unless you're taking how you grip the club, then interlocking. 1) I'll try the middle of the green from 130-160. 2) I'm really looking forward to adding the gripping down to my repertoire. I've always disliked gripping down on the club, but the way you describe it, it makes more sense. I currently use clock positions for my iron shots, with the same grip position (at the end if the grip). I use 9, 10 & 11. Using the idea of end, middle and bottom of the grip, I'll have nine distances (well ten, with the option of using my driver swing on an iron in case of emergency) with each iron instead of the three I'm currently used to. I should be able to hit any yardage with at least three or four options for trajectory, peak height and spin. I foresee a lot of calibration shots in my future. 3) I'll add choking down and finishing low for punch shots, I do the other bits. 4) I've never thought about breaking down a card like that. I'll try it and see if it makes me feel any different about how I approach a round. Maybe I'll set some goals for each segment, depending on the course. Lots to and try! Thanks!
Liked this a lot!!
ps what is the ball, & colour of same please
Thanks Alex! been trying to get my 7 handicap down!!!
Fingers crossed this will help
Some great tips, especially re leaving yourself 100 yards to the hole rather than trying the gallant hero failure shot which rarely works for me!
Yeah exactly, thanks for tuning in!!
Interesting, I’ve also seen advice that the closer you are to the green the better. Also, I’ve switched to Jumbo Max Extralite grips. Really like them.
@@geraldgoldstein6636That statistic depends on how good your short game is. For a pro, that's true, for an amateur that doesn't practice, a full shot is likely better.
HI . PAUL AGAIN , I have a tip for you and your viewers, A mate or 3 of us play stableford individual but I also add on the card best score like pros WHY !!! TO SEE IF WE CAN BEAT THE COURSE , OK THERE IS 2 OR 3 OF US , BUT WE FIND THAT IF ONE IS RUNNING AWAY WITH IT THERE STILL IS THIS TO BEAT . OUR BEST IS 80 ON A PAR 71 , OK ITS NOT ONE ON ONE . BUT I FIND IT KEEPS YOU KEEN AND MIND WORKING. But off handicaps of 16, 22, 24, remember it's gross score .
Omg.... Your 3 wood tip is spot on. That happened to me twice yesterday. Was about 220-230 yds out each time and hit my 3 wood and end up chunking it and hitting it about 120-130 yds so I was in about the same spot I would have been had I hit a 110 yd club or so but I would have felt so much better and confident. Great tip.
Thanks! and yeah i see so many golfers make the same mistake
Amen!
Thanks Alex. I now have permission from surgeon to get back playing so can't wait to try these out.
Good luck and keep moving! My friend had lower back fusion surgery four months ago and he's back playing now almost like he was before his back started bothering him. Wish you the best!
Best of luck!
*ALL excellent tips*
Glad you think so!
the low shot, stinger, has helped me out of tight situations a lot.
couse management is great advice,but the feet together drill is the best drill there is!!!
Some mega tips there Alex. Being a relatively short hitter of the golf ball, my usual play of a par 5 is Driver, 5 wood and 7 wood. All within myself. No stress.
thank you!
Great tips. I am in my 70’s and don’t get much distance from my irons. I feel I’m doing something wrong. 👍👍👍
Well done Alex. As always your tips are practical and usable right away. It is clear why you are a top 50 instructor. Come play in Texas and we will follow up the golf with great BBQ
For the low shot would you recommend slightly closing the club face as it is backwards in your stance and so slight arcing outwards on impact? Didn’t realise about the low finish!!
The stats say the closer to the green the better so even if I’m 230 out, why would I not try to hit a shot that could be around the green or even potentially on it rafter than leaving myself 100 in?
Great except for laying up to 100yds all the time. Most pros have changed that thinking to getting as close as possible. I am much better with a lob wedge than a gap wedge. I'd rather be pitching with an L wedge han hitting a full a full A wedge. If Im 2 degrees off with my L I'm missing by a couple of feet to either side. If I'm two degrees off with my A wedge or or full sand wedge I'm ten feet wide let or rt.
Yes, that's for people who aren't pros or people that haven't put in the time to practice their short game. Most of the league players I see aren't very good at partial shots (or lob wedges).
Nice tips didn’t realise the low release after playing off the back foot and chocked down
Glad it helped!
That pond cost me a 7 iron :( ... hahaha - great tips yet again Alex. Great job, Mike
I think the best advice for high handicappers is use the back of green yardage period! Most high handicappers never hit the middle yardage….always way short!
My weight shift is complete crap. It would be good to see more tips on how more properly use your hips in the swing.
that 3 holes is a round sound good to me! i often get misfocused on back 9 .
Fab and yes that is a common mistake for a lot of golfers
I love your videos Alex. Just one question. What do your eyes focus on when hitting driver. When I look at the back of the ball it feels like I hit down on it. So I’ve been focused about 5 to 6 inches behind it but now I think I’m releasing the club too early. Frustrating as a new golfer
I find two to three inches behind and a quarter to a half inch inside (closer towards you) works best for me. Five or six inches behind would make me release it early, too, and I'd probably hit it off the bottom of the club or top it.
Great tips. Not taking that 230 shot resonated.
An eraser works on my handicap! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sorry Alex, I’m feeling snarky today! Great tips as usual!
Alex can you explain in detail the downswing. Step by step. Different between driver and irons?
Yeah i will address this in another video, thanks for tuning it!
Alex, if I’m unable to take divots, what am I doing wrong?
I’m red colorblind and could hardly see that red ball in the grass. Something to consider for future videos. Great tips though!
I've even gone so far as to "chip" with my driver if I didn't have clearance for a backswing. gives me a really long bump and run.
1ST OF ALL HELLO . I have been doing the under the tree one for years and found . Open stance ball back in stance 4pm to 8pm is best with 5i or 2 iron. I MUST ALSO ADD BEING 67YRS I CAN NOT HIT PAR 5S IN 2 THREE YES . I AM NO BIG HITTER . SOME PAR 4S I CAN NOT GET ON IN 2 WE HAVE S.I. 3 DOWN HILL 408 YDS OFF YELLOW BUT STILL COME UP SHORT. SOME I DO GET ON IN 2 AND OUR 13TH S.I. 1. 450 YD UP HILL no getting on that in 2 rarely . Our 17TH is a par 4 and long my driver and 3w are still 50 yds short . SO ON IN 2 IS ONLY FOR THOSE BIG HITTERS.
Hi Alex, thanks for your great videos that really help to improve my game. I lose ca. 20 - 30% of my backswing - height and width - when I try to hit the ball compared to my practice swing. The questions is, how do I get over this barrier - being afraid not the hit the ball - to swing the same as in the practice swing?
I know it’s hard! It just comes with practice i’m afraid to say
Great tips Alex, tbh I’d hit the tree one and hope it goes through 😂
The greatest golf tip I've ever known is to learn how to hold your finish until the ball hits the ground on every single swing. It's amazing how much better I hit the ball when that's all I think about doing. It automatically corrects many swing faults.
Is there a easy way to figure out if my clubs are even the right length for me?
Alex question? I'm fairly accurate with my club distances but have some distances where I'm in between clubs. Do you have any tips on how much choking down will affect distances? I.e. 1" down reduces 5 yards??
Sorry, I'm not Alex, but I'm pretty sure the answer would be to hit shots using a range finder while hitting balls with your hands at the end, middle and bottom of the grip so you can learn them. If there's ever a slow time on the course and you're out by yourself, drop some extra balls at one of the yardage markers (say the 100 or 150) and hit a few balls from each grip position. Then step it off from the middle of the green and see what the difference is. Currently, I use more of a clock method, where I grip the club the same every time, but stop my swing at 9, 10, & 11 for irons and know my distances from there. But after seeing this video, I'm also going to practice all those positions while changing my grip positions, too. Doing that, I should be able to cover any distance because I'll have nine different distances with each iron instead of the three I currently have with the clock way I'm doing it. Exciting stuff!
great video - quick question- if facing a steep back to front green does your thinking change in terms of going over a front pin location? My club has a lot of severe back to front sloping greens so usually want to play to the yardage or short to leave an uphill chip or putt
The punch shot under the tree is my usual iron shot regardless. I can’t get loft to save my life. I struggle so much with irons
I fall sucker to the reach the par 5 in 2 trap all the time and maybe 3/10 3 wood shots in make it which is far too low a percentage playing off 13 I should just lay up and leave a nice east wedge in
Anthony Kim had the same advice when he played on the tour
👏🏻👏🏻
Good advice as usual Alex, but for me there is no way I lay up with that 230 yards in. I will aim for side of green with least trouble and let it rip. If I can smash a fade in there to a pin on right than even better. That is what gets me going back to golf again and again, unless the green is surrounded by an English style “mout”!
Yeah, personally, I'd move that back to 270-300. I practice 40-90 yard shots every day, so, the closer the better, in my opinion.
Yea, me too. I’ll go for it every time and usually hit in the woods or bunker. But hey… it’s more fun that way 😊
Great tips but my games gone so far south at the moment that the numbers have racked up on each hole way before I’m anywhere near the green .
If players know the yardage's for each club that would help massively.
Would golf balls with a chip as in chip n pin be better for golf , ? For example ball in the rough we would be able to find it . GET IT OUT THATS ANOTHER STORY . Paul
this tip SLASHED my HANDICAP by a BILLION strokes
at par 5 i just cant leave 100y. got to go allmost as far as you can. Yes, i should not go with a 3wood, instead 4 hyb. its my goto club. but i mean ill take 25 y instead of 100. sorry, nitpicking here maybe.
I'd take 100 yards in the fairway over 25 yards in the heavy rough any day. Or twenty five yards in the tall grass, or at the bottom of a tightly mown chipping area ten feet below the level of the green. There's any number of places twenty five yards (or closer) to the green that you can't hit it closer than even a mediocre shot from 100 yards.
What ball do game. Looks like a vice?
Yeah that’s right, love them. Link to the ones I use is in the description at the bottom
I really enjoy your videos but, there is no way that I can hit as far as you do. A 130 yards with a wedge or 9 iron. I my dreams.
3 out of 4s not bad, if I’m laying up with a wedge on a 230 2nd shot, why the h e double L did I hit driver to get that close, not happening
It could be that you mishit it to there. I suppose it depends on the hole. There's plenty of reasons to hit it to 100 yards. I play a par five regularly that's surrounded by significant trouble and difficult to hit from 175. It's easier to hit it close to the pin from 100 yards than almost anywhere within even five yards of that green.
Number number one?
Yeah
Why is the title and thumbnail IDENTICAL to Saguto golf, who posted this 2 weeks ago?
This happens to me every single day 😂😂😂😂
First comment , sweet
Thanks for watching !
I'm 6'5" with standard length clubs. Choking down is probably not an option for me, Great video though.
Fair enough! and thanks!
Excellent video. It is practical and something that EVERYONE can benefit from watching and applying to their game. Read Ray Floyd's book, The Elements of Scoring. That might give you a great idea for a series of videos like this...that book helped me lower my handicap from 18+ all the way down to a 1.8 at my lowest.
Thanks so much! glad it helps
No short cut this time too bad 😅
What kills my score is the "big number" hole. I can be cruising along, making bogeys and pars, then a triple or quad shows up out of nowhere. I don't know how to address that.
I will try and cover this in another video !
