    This is the most amateur-friendly golf station on YT! Jimmy eschews the analysis that causes paralysis on the course. I just turned 76, and, after incorporating Jimmy's approach to the golf swing, I've gained back the accuracy--and most of the distance--I thought age had robbed me of forever. Turns out, it wasn't age that was the bandit; it was the detailed direction I'd fallen prey to. Thank you, sir. You keep filming, and I'll keep watching.

    Exactly the type of golfer everyone would love to play with. Just turned 64, started playing at age 50 and have never broken 90. As a former all star baseball player, decent athlete, I thought golf would be "easy," and it's been the typical endless journey since day one for me of being dumbfounded and never feeling confident with my swing. Just now discovered this channel and can't wait to chill a bit, drive my truck and implement these tips asap ... I'll be back. Cheers ...

    I used to play in your neighborhood......Marshall Canyon. Then I moved to Las Vegas three years ago and stopped playing. Just started again and now I can't break 100 to save my life!! Maybe the air's thicker here or something!😆 Anyway, I've been watching your videos and my scores are improving slowly but best of all, I'm feeling more comfortable. Keep making those videos, I'll keep watching them and I'll get it back.

    To preface: I am one of probably 99% of part time golfers who gets lost down a rabbit hole of golf videos on YT. Within the first few mins you earned my sub. For the first time in hundreds of YT hours spent, this video actually made me feel like you were one of the homies riding on the course. Super calm, logical, and relatable content tbh. You are on to something here and I hope your channel goes far! Im super glad that I am not having to take copious notes or remember like 55 cues and techniques for this one. You preach tempo...but more importantly, at a easy tempo. Thanks for the vid. Ill be watching more. Peace.

So many other content makers are producing golf shit that I just can't relate to as a mid-handicapper and I'm so glad I found you!!

    Jimmy!! I watched your ball placement video earlier. Went to the range. Felt wierd with my mid to long iron being so far back but right away, great contact and straight divot. Been pulling my irons on longer par 3's, been a bad stretch really, but even off the tee they were going straight. Can't wait for tommorows game. Also, played the ball back even farther on .y wedges... I've got a good wedge game but I'll be dasmned if they weren't going a tad bit further. Hitting my 54 almost 20 yards further. Made a point to relax, swingbeasy snd let the club do the work. Fantastic Jimmy!! Thsnk you!@

      Jimmy!!!! I applied so much today during my money round. Quick highlights... greens were just punched, not sure what the winds were but closer to 30+ mph winds than 25 with freshly punched greens. I listened and applied so much. Waived to the camera, turn. Never EVER put so little into a round. We get heavy winds up here in Prescott, Az and today a storm rolled in. The ONLY ball I lost was one in the fairway??? No clue where it went, we never found it. Terrible conditions, freshly punched greens, +16 for the day. Better than 2nd place +24. To many good things to go through. You will see me commenting on many more vids and promoting you as best I can. So many up snd downs, can't be mad at my 0/1 hot tub attempts, still got a bogey on it, no big deal.
      Best to you sir, and look forward to the future.
      BEST!!

    Jimmy - great vid ! Once you learn the main motion .. everything falls into place. Keep it simple ! A good followup is tempo .. as the motion can get to quick or slow some days .. depending on coffee intake :) Careful you don't disrupt the golf instruction biz .. haha. They specialize in complex rocket science. PS. My favorite answer from Brooks Koepka when asked about his key swing thought: ' I don't have one '.

    I know now why I like how you teach, Jimmy. You present clearly. However, the visuals are simple. Your rotation described as an 18 wheeler was spot on in my brain. Tied to 55 mph was spot on. Back and through. I could see your belly button face the target at the end every time. My Dad always, always said make that happen. I had the big lightbulb moment. I'm going to practice later. Thanks Jimmy. Oh, the shoes? Very nice! Classic.

    Another great video. The mentality really is a game changer. Played 9 on Sunday with my dad and actually shot a 48. Had two pars. Quite a few strokes off my 55 stroke average. Just been trying my best to keep focusing on the shot at hand and keeping everything smooth. Still teeing off with my 4i though. My confidence with my driver is pretty bottom of the barrel right now lol.

I’m living in France and it’s not usual and can’t be found even in Paris in our best shops. So, could you precise which brand is it and may be I could get it through Luxembourg.

    dude, after about half a bucket of balls I thought you were nuts...or not giving the total 411. Then, cleared my mind and smack da shit, good contact but pushed out to the right. Next shot I tweaked my grip a tad and launched a rocket. Amazing how moving focus to the big muscles to turn erased my thoughts of wrists, hands, lead this, trail that and so much more menudo floating in my casaba. 1 week later and 4 buckets O ball and I am enjoying the golfing shot and not being so concerned about my next lie. Thx for the video...#bigfan of the channel
