Great video! Rule 11: when you miss your putt, keep looking at your ball's trajectory as it passes the hole. It's litterally giving you the read of your next putt. Often we're disappointed and will look away spontaneously.
Jon, thank you for the lesson in course management! Ive always believed, ‘I’m a good golfer, but terrible scorer’ Always enjoy ‘smart golf’ Thank you..
Good stuff. I recommend having 25-50-75-100 stock shots. They make it much easier to pick conservative targets off the tee & avoid greenside hazards...while still having a chance at par or easy bogey on tough holes. They are also handy for making birdies on par 5's for better players.
This is a great video. I have been playing just over 18 months and joined a club at the start of the year, with an 18.2 h’cap. Unfortunately chasing pins and not using any of the tips you have spoken about I’m now playing of 23. I will use this video to hopefully focus on the correct things which will hopefully help me to push my handicap in the right direction. Great video and great advice.
@@JonPerkinsGolf ….i have subscribed to your channel, as this is exactly the kind of channel that all amateur golfers need. Helpful advice that will actually help an amateur golfer improve. To many golf channels offer advice which only leads to confusion on the course, especially around the swing. Keep up the great work.
The tip i never here any youtubers talking about is aiming to give yourself an uphill putt, rather than a downhill putt. I heard tiger woods say it in an interview and its seriously effective.
One reason why you may hot hear much about leaving an uphill putt is that the vast majority of golfers may not have a solid grasp of their distances and they'll typically hit it short of that uphill putt distance anyway, thus leaving themselves WAY shorter than the green. Many course management preachers suggest going for back of the green distance, coming up a bit short, ultimately having that uphill putt.
Hi Jon. Antill Park was my home course in my 20's. Good to see it again. You also played Leura Golf Club which I went to two years ago. Are you planning somewhere else soon?
Hey, glad you enjoyed it! I try to play a few different courses if I can, and mix in some interesting country tracks. It's always a bit up in the air as to when I can fit in filming and where. Love trying to find new courses though.
Great video Jon with some very good ideas that us hackers should think about. Is there an Australian site to purchase the Shotscope V5. The UK one linked doesn't seem to deliver to Aus. Cheers.
Thanks mate, appreciate that. I double checked with ShotScope and the link should go to their site and re-direct to Golf Box for Aus sales. Apparently all of their sales in Australia are via Golf Box. Hope that helps and thanks for watching along!
Great video! Rule 7 really made a huge difference for me, completely changing my scores. It's crazy how many players don’t realize that an extra putt can hurt your game just as much as chunking a shot 30 feet. I recently shared a video with 5 easy mental tips that helped me go from a 15hcp to a 7hcp in 2 months(!!) some years ago. Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/5VNSixykH9Q/v-deo.html I'll be posting more videos soon (already tomorrow), all made with the same pro who gave me these game-changing tips.
Great vids... But don't understand your first tip... Hovering the club removes tension? It adds tension has you have to keep the club up in the air... I find the opposite works where I place the driver down the ground and feel arms and body relax before embarking on my swing..?
Hi. I'm very happy with mine, locks on straight away and very easily. In general no rangefinders seem to like foggy days, but perfect the rest of the time.
I'm a 0.2 handicap Here my tips... 1. If you can break 90, don't use a driver ever... If you are near the green, putt, don't play a normal shot On a tee, tee up the side where trouble is and hit away from it
Hi Henrik, it's a sort of cross between a hybrid and a driving iron. I found it online from a company called Caley and love it. There's a video on my channel if you do want to know more about it: ua-cam.com/video/Iw_ZNOn0fnM/v-deo.html
I hit my driver 215 . How do you hit your so far ? What am I missing. I am 6’4” 255. And when I feel like I smoke it … it goes 220. So I need to switch to a regular flex or what ???
Pro could help...or an experienced good player. Some basic numbers will tell you a lot. What is your clubhead speed? If under 100mph with your build, you probably have a lot of tension in the arms and wrists. If over 100, you have a strike problem and would benefit from impact tape, videoing your path for pro help (Google Swingtweaks), and getting launch numbers. Good luck...you definitely have 300+ potential with less effort than the current 215.

Brilliant, totally agree and thanks for adding!
Jon, thank you for the lesson in course management!

Brilliant, hope it helps
Great video, Jon! Some great tips in here for pretty much all golfers!
Thanks mate!
Love the content mate. Keep it up. 🙌
Appreciate it mate, thanks!
Excellent Jon.
Thanks!
Really informative, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Hole strategy is under-developed, & you addressed this nicely!
Thanks
Great insight. The course looked fun. It had some nicely laid out holes. Maybe one too many par 3's for my taste.
Great, appreciate the feedback. My first time there and really enjoyed it.
Love your videos. Just subscribed.
Also, having a go at some target practice at 16:10 ?
Thanks!! They actually waved me down, so I think (hope) were also watching 😅

It is but amateurs aren’t good enough to do that and they’ll likely have an uphill putt because stats say they’re generally short of the pin
Brilliant 👍
Thanks Dave 🙂

Hi Jon
How do you find the shotscope ranger finder, no problems locking onto pin etc ?
Hi. I'm very happy with mine, locks on straight away and very easily. In general no rangefinders seem to like foggy days, but perfect the rest of the time.
I'm a 0.2 handicap
Here my tips...
1. If you can break 90, don't use a driver ever... If you are near the green, putt, don't play a normal shot
On a tee, tee up the side where trouble is and hit away from it
Like it
About 4:50 into the video you mention a ‘utility iron’. What exactly is that?
Hi Henrik, it's a sort of cross between a hybrid and a driving iron. I found it online from a company called Caley and love it. There's a video on my channel if you do want to know more about it: ua-cam.com/video/Iw_ZNOn0fnM/v-deo.html
Trying to imagine a world where I can confidently have a 150 yard club or a variety of clubs with confidence.
😃
Imagining is the first step toward making it a reality. Maybe a silky smooth 5, 7, or 9w for 150 is your ticket. Cheers!
I hit my driver 215 . How do you hit your so far ? What am I missing. I am 6’4” 255.
And when I feel like I smoke it … it goes 220. So I need to switch to a regular flex or what ???
Quite hard to unpack that online. Sounds like you're probably not far from great results though, maybe worth seeing and asking a local pro?

LOL
you have very nice looking swing smooth and easy
Sometimes.. (but thanks!!)
