I'm most impressed with your patience with your camera man.
Hahahaha. That guy is a disaster. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Yup. 1 of the golfers at my course said, "this game is easy, 3 shots down the middle, putt for par." I've slowed my swing down, hitting every club in my bag now, and it works.
Keep it smooth my friend. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Jimmy has become my favorite golfer by far!
Thats awesome. Thanks so much. Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Same. The Bob Ross of golf. Awesome. Happy little birdies in his world.
I've been playing golf for 50 years at a high level single-digit handicap for over 40 years but I can't stop watching these videos they are outstanding great advice for anybody
Love to hear that John. Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Need this guy in my ear during every round. Good video
Hi Jimmy, love the fact that you do not edit the videos. Played the first 9 holes
May 1, in league play, shot a 45 using your techniques, got rid of the 60 year olds
from the hot tub, replaced with 30 and 40 year olds, made only 1 and 2 puts, best ever.
Thank you for your help, Ron Pagliaro , not easy at 76 years old.
Happy news Ron! Keep it up.
Atta boy Ron. Keep it smooth. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Jimmy, I don’t normally comment on videos, but I have to say that of all the 100s of golf videos and golf UA-camrs I’ve watched…you’re the best. The way you make the repeatable golf swing so easy is amazing. You have helped my golf game a ton and I will be passing your lessons on to friends. My golf balls now jump straight off the face of my clubs and I don’t even have to swing out of my shoes. Keep doing what you’re doing! Great to see this stuff coming out from a regular golfer
I love to hear this. Thank you for watching
this is the most realistic on the course instruction video out there, great shots, not so great shots, but all very real!
Golf is real. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
You cannot overstate the beauty of keeping the ball on grass...short grass...nice..
Most important part of the game.
Love it Jimmy you have me laughing every video so relatable keep em coming
Jimmy, you are my favorite golfer, what a great teacher.
Thank you for always watching Bill. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Another great inspiring video 👍thank you 🙏
Im really enjoying your content, ive been subscribed a short while now, some of the analogies are great, the hot tub idea when putting, the wave at the camera man so you dont over swing. The way youre playing these holes is just stress free completely. It inspires confidence, thanks!
After watching your videos my game has improved !! My score has improved every time and putting is no longer a problem or stressful 😂 I’m always invited to the tropicana hot tub 😂🤣
Lets go!!! Glad the hot tub is working for you. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
The “grip it and rip it” mentality currently helps me not overthink the shot. Just swing and make good contact. Not maxing out any distance records anytime soon, so ease up and make it centered and solid.
These walkthroughs are super helpful in getting in the right frame of mind.
Hi Jimmy, gotta say thank you for your videos, First time out after 2 year hiatus due to a wreaked shoulder. Shot for me a respectable 96 on punched greens, No lost balls, only 2- 3 putts and, highest hole was a 7. Your teaching methods work.
Thank you Jimmy.. Another great video! Much appreciated..
Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Best Golf videos on UA-cam!
Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Awesome video and approach! The short game and putting is the great equalizer.
Love to hear these comments. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Solid advice! One thing I rarely see mentioned is playing from the right tees. If you are a 18+ handicap, you probably shouldn’t be playing from the blue tees!
I agree kinda. You can be 80 years old and still a 5 handicap. Shouldn't play from the back tees. Thanks for watching and for the comment. As a courtesy Tropicana would like to offer you 20% off to support our merch. visit tropicanagolfshop.com/collections/tropicana-merch and use code TROP20
Jimmy, your buddy's humor got me to watching him, dat's it....he has me now watching you. The best thing I can say about your videos is that you make this ol hacker BELIEVE,that i can play this game. Thank you, sir.
You sure can play tommy. Keep it smooth. Thanks for watching
Very good advice.
Outstanding!
Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
For me the best part of this video is your acceptance of the poor driver shot. You kept your poise:(22:30) "This is golf, and you must continue..." I'm telling myself those exact words from now on. Thank you so much for making this crazy game so real for us.
thanks for watching! -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Great! Great Video!
I love it good advice
Thanks for the new approach to the golf swing. I'm taking less shots per round each time out...I'll be buying sweet new hat to support you. Thanks!
Love to hear it. Thanks for the support. Here’s the link tropicanagolfshop.com/products/trop-king-snapback-hat
Played a tight course today. Didn't play smart. I'm doing what you're talking about from now on. You understand this maddening game
Gotta keep it simple during the hard times! Thanks for watching.
I'm a 10 at my home course it's pretty wide open but when I go tighter courses I play like at my home course. Maybe (if you haven't already done it) have an episode about transitioning from home course to unfamiliar course
Keep it on the short grass! Perfect advise. Oh, and nice new shoes!
Thanks for the comment Mark. Gotta keep em shiny. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
*Good Golf - G00d Tips! Golf IS truly MENTAL* 🤪
It sure is!! Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Bogeys are, for most of us, your friend. I could always hit the ball a fairly long way. Several pars every round and often a birdie. But still typically shoot in the mid-90’s or sometimes worse - too many doubles and triples, from too many drivers out of bounds, trying to thread hybrids 200+ yards into a green guarded by water, or mindlessly trying to blast a 3-wood off the deck with no real goal in mind. There is some great advice here.
I love to hear that. Thanks for watching. For more info and more content visit : www.tropicanagolfshop.com
When I was 49 I had cancer of the head and neck. I wasn’t able to eat for 4 months. After treatment they wouldn’t let me take out my feeding tube until I proved I could maintain my current weight. I had lost 40 lbs. with feeding tube in me I played Torrey Pines North. My drives were about 160 yards. I needed a six iron to hit a 120 yard shot. I shot 83 from the middle tees.
Wow. What an amazing story and the fact that you’re still here is even better. Keep on keepin on. Thanks for watching.
Buddy you look like you come straight from Magic City. Love it.
Maybe I did :) thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Hi Jimmy. Love the tips and they have been working for me. So, thank you. Question, what do you do, to know you are lined up for the shot you’re hitting.?
Line my feet up parallel to the flight of the ball that I wish to hit. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Another great video on one of the most rundown golf courses I have ever seen. I can only imagine how well you could play on a halfway decent maintained course. LOL
DUDE! First time post and first watch of any of your content. I've never even heard of you until i was scrolling randomly earlier and stopping because i thought you like looked like some jerseys guy you see from movies. This is fucking amazing! I love the approach you are taking. Almost like a confidence, thought coach take. I think most have heard many times from old timers, about using 7 iron only on par 4s , but dont ever do it. But ithere is something different going on here. You've got a beautiful swing and its obvious you can play. I really enjoyed this. Please dont take this the wrong way and it may not come out how I hope it does. I have this funny thought that pops up at different times in the video that i see a golfing version of Ron Burgundy. I honestly loves this. I cant decide if this a character youve created or not. As I said before, it's obvious you can play. You have a perfect classic swing and finish. I love the style of humor going on. Im sorry if you took any of that wrong. Far from it. If this is a character you have made you need a movie. I'd go to watch. And if its not a character you developed it doesn't matter, it's still great stuff. You are on to something. Thank you. Im going to share this not just to my golfing friends but all of my friends. Take care man.
Just came across your video, very helpful and simple. What is a good drill loosen my hips and get your smooth swing
I'm old. I like to put my foot up on a bench and very slowly move towards my knee. Switch, do the other side. I do this until I can feel my hip Flexer muscles deciding to cooperate. I also will spread my feet pretty wide and slowly turn the upper body side to side. Don't force it, go slowly. Stay with it just a bit and slowly try to go farther each time. I try to get some stretching at home before I arrive at the course. I will stretch more once I get there, before I hit a few range balls. If you feel loose, you can swing easy like Jimmy stated.
All stiffness comes from hamstrings. Lift your toe off the ground and then bend over to try to touch them. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Man...just hearing you break it down when explaining why people say they can't hit 3 iron is exactly me.. I swing faster, ball further forward etc etc.. I'm just gonna play this game without the science that I obviously don't know, and hit a ball with a stick.
Incredible golf philosophy for us mortals. You have to practice that short game for sure though.
Just finished my first 54 holes and I’m sitting at a 28.5. Gonna start focusing on better play and course management
Hello Johnny, was wondering, do you use any fairway woods? Thanks for your time on your channel, my wife & I so enjoy your info.
Hey Mike. I do not use any woods. Here’s a 3 hour video that includes, WHAT IN MY BAG.
tropicanagolfshop.com/products/golf-my-way
I watched a couple of videos yesterday before my round and shot the best round of my life with less is more!! I might not shoot a 78 the rest of summer.
Enjoyed the info. I have no handicap established so I will ask this knowing that slope, average score and other things come in to play but what does a 25 handicapper generally score?
A general rule for calculating handicap is that your handicap number is your average strokes over par. So if you are a 25 handicap, generally that would mean you average 25 shots over par per 18 holes.. The calculation is not exact for the trolls out there but its relatively correct! So if par is 72, 25 Handicap means you average 97 strokes per 18 holes..
Over 105 normally. Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
9:02 is your recommendation the same, if the sand is compacted - like really hard (almost "rock-like"), on those less than spectacular courses?
I hit every green side bunker shot the same way. Works well for me
The older you get you use course management more. I am 71 years old and I treat every hole like a bogey. It takes off the pressure. I always end up with 5-6 pars and the occasional birdie
Its easy to play well when you stay relaxed. You got it right. Thanks for watching and for the comment. As a courtesy Tropicana would like to offer you 20% off to support our merch. visit tropicanagolfshop.com/collections/tropicana-merch and use code TROP20
What camera and tripod are you using? Please share
Hi Jimmy. Will you please give an example of ball compression and shaft lean? One of my biggest issues with ball contact….
Dont think about that stuff. Just make sure you swing to a good finish. Everything will take care of itself. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Thank you Good Sir!!
Hey Jimmy, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made.
I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
Im not quite certain what it is that you said but It sounds entertaining. Haha.
@@TropicanaEntertainment I mean, do you need any help in your thumbnail designing and video editing?
Hey Jimmy. Can you share your camera set up with us? Also what do you use to easily set up and pick up the camera before and after shots?
I just use an iphone and a terrible tripod. I edit with i movie
Thanks bro
Nice shoe
It would help us if you showed us your ball position. Is it more towards your back foot?
I play everything back in my stance toward my back foot. Better compression. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
I like the bing, bang, boom in your older videos than 3-2-1 😊
Either way the rhythm is still the same
Gotta stay smooth. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
How much did your game improve when you started showing others your easy swing, strategy and club choice? It’s been great for my game.
I play great when I dont try to do to much. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
My mates think i’ve lost it when I start talking about getting into the hot tub…. My course greens are some of the hardest around , 1 three putt in last two rounds and two low 80’s rounds the first for ages 100% works 👍 I hit a five wood 230 + yards the other day through the green never hit even close to that just slowing it all down and swing.
Stay smoooooth! Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
As humans that is to effortless and calm we like action
maybe, calm down.
@@TropicanaEntertainmentjust coming from driving range applying your technique it was amazing
U got king cobras brah?
#NiceAF
The course is a little rough
Bob ross of golf!!!
Played like crap the other day with my wife... Made her feel like she was a pro golfer. So...a good day to be golfing.
My buddies and I were trying to get in the hot tub this past weekend 😅
thanks for watching! -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Course is beat up!
And the guy still makes pars 🙂
You didn't say, "3...2...1..." on your third drive. Thank you for the video!
Wow. I didnt. Then I hit it to sliceville. Keep a routine!! Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Which course is this??
via verde cc. San Dimas, ca
@@TropicanaEntertainment oh! Never played there, maybe a round w my kids!
Oh! Country club…..
I typically lose par after my first tee ball. Then it just goes downhill.
I play 8 shots on par 4
bro, how tall are you?
6ft. Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Hello Sir :)
Hello!
Those guys that were draining the swamp should get a job in the next Administration.
Jimmy I have to say that I appreciate your videos but man you need to find a course that is in better shape.
Why?... Oops! sorry, I'm not Jimmy
On any of these golf instruction videos, whenever I hear shit like..."All you need to do is hit an easy 3 iron low and 200 yards." I bail.
It seems 90% of UA-cam golf instructors simply can not comprehend that 90% of their potential viewers can't F'n hit an "easy low 3 iron 200 yards".
And yet..... here we are again.
Thats because you think hitting a 3i and a pitching wedge is a diff swing. When you realize its not, you’ll start learning to play. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
The fairways look like they are in terrible condition
Jimmy those fairways look like a 15yo girl’s acne.
Just there to play golf man. Ill play in any condition. Im no primadonna
‘Shoes ready for inspection Sir’.
‘Good job golfer, nice shine on those toes!’
Gotta keep em crisp! Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Really enjoyed this video. Currently a 26 HC and looking for whatever can help me reduce my scores. Love the easy going approach and common sense of your video. Plus the course looks similar to what I play on… shaggy and not perfectly manicured. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
thanks for watching! -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
