  • In this video I give you 5 tips and tricks on how I lowered my handicap from 30 to 12 in only 12 months. Watch this video, follow these steps and I guarantee you, you will see lower scores on the golf course.
    These tips were fundamental in me going from shooting high 100s to low 80s in less than 12 months, such as improving short game, hitting more greens in regulation, managing the golf course, tracking your golf scores and approach shots.

    Hi I’m Luke Hickson, welcome to my channel Hicks Golf Vlogs. I played golf in October 2021 and since then have been hooked to the game.
    In my first 12 months of playing golf, I took my Handicap from 30 to 13 and started making Vlogs documenting my journey on UA-cam and social media in October 2022.
    In my journey from 30 to 13, I had to develop many aspects of my game, have plenty of visits to a PGA Pro for lessons and study all angles of golf.
    On my channel you will find a wide range of topics, from entertaining golf content such as trips & courses I visit, challenges with friends & much more.
    Plus I will also bring out other videos with the tips & tricks I've learnt along the way that may help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons consistently , master your short game and hole more putts.
    If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

      Not yet! I've been planning on doing my thoughts on the Arccos sensors as I've nearly had them 12 months now. Not sure I would be able to play golf without them!

    Great content! Getting that short game together is, imo, the most important piece as well as always (ALWAYS!) aiming for the middle of the green on approaches! 🙌🏾
    12:05 - Honestly, for this shot I’m doing a chip and run using an 8 iron since in right in front of the green like this. I will rarely use a wedge within 10-12 yards with green to work with.

    • @HicksGolf
      @HicksGolf  Рік тому +1

      Thanks! Short game is where it's at and its surprisingly much easier to improve than a lot of other areas of golf.
      Personally I like the PW bump and run there!

    Im usually under 30 putts a round, on a good day chipping i get up and down about 60% of the time, if off day 30%, driving is sketchy but last time out hit 80% fairways about 210 / 220 yards on average. So what would you expect my hc to be? At the moment 20! Gir only 8 to 12% basically my approach iron play is poor. If i get gir ill par the hole 9 out of 10. I need advice badly, i get in great positions to just throw it away from 150 yrds in or closer.

    • @kelleywilson141
      @kelleywilson141 Рік тому

      Well a 10 handicap hits 63% of greens from 150 yards. Need more than 210 to 220 off the tee or need to move up a tee box. Par 5 is 500 yards you should be able to hit 250 yards ( 50 percent of the total yardage ). If already on the up tee then need to concentrate more on short game.

      Forget par.
      Play for a personal par. Off 20 that means.
      16 holes one over par and 2 holes 2 over.
      Means if card says 340y par 4
      This really is a personal par of 5 for you.
      Now think how to get on green in 3 shots.
      For hole rated 1 &2 you have a personal par of 6, so this means on for 4.
      This approach will help you.

  • @geoffcohen613
    @geoffcohen613 Рік тому

    10:40 forget GIR, play nett GIR. Ie par 4 PP is 5 so on for 3.
    Par 3 on for 2.
    Par is Professional Anticipated Result.
    For handicap make own expected score on hole.
    If play by yourself with no competition cards how will your GHIN come down for year.
