You are so right about playing a round with a teaching pro. As a young teen I was fortunate to have playing lessons with a pro back in the early 60's. Sam Penecale was his name at Whitemarsh in Philadelphia. I was also present when Gary Player, Sam Snead, Cary Middlekoff and other PGA pros walked a hole with a bunch of people and we all played each hole with a different pro. That may not happen the same way again but what a fantastic learning experience it was. Later I was team Capt. in high school, played for my college team for 2 years before enlisting. Playing the game of golf often enabled me to re-focus in life and tough through the hard times. I would love to see playing pros do something similar again.
Fantastic video. One of your best. Really enjoyed seeing an instructor that can provide feedback and tips, but also make it enjoyable and fun. Brad was solid. RIP Mike’s coffee though, ahaha!
That was interesting to watch and Brad was a great chap, it was like he's one of your pals ! The best comment was Mike, I even take divots with the putter !! In the UK a European Tour caddie set up a business where tour caddies will coach you on course and it seems to be very useful. I think Rick did a vid a few months ago.
Great video fellas, and you can tell your games are improving, some really solid contact on some of those shots. This was very informational for us followers I would love to see more videos like this.
Great vid guys. I like the diversity in your videos, and the ocassional swing tips never hurt. I always gain something from those. That pro's a cool guy and knows his stuff. ;)
The reason you catch it on the heel, and early extend is all in your back swing pivot. On your back swing, you are pivoting off your right hip, thus moving the center of pelvis towards the ball, and then pivot around your center pelvis or left hip coming down, creating early extension and hitting it off the heel. This also causes you to steepen your shaft since your hips are closer to the ball. Try to turn around your center pelvis and have your right butt push backwards on your back swing. I'm no pro, but had that exact problem not too long ago, and it just stuck out. Hope it helps ya. Haven't been to Pound Ridge in few years, nice vid!
How much fun was that? Just great stuff out there. I was working on the very same thing with bow of the wrist through impact. It's made a world of difference. I continue to practice that slow movement as a warm up prior to hitting balls at the range and it's part of my practice swing on the course. Exaggerated for a reminder. Another great vid from you guys.
I'm thinking about getting one, might get stick for this comment but I play off 28, but at my home course if I took my best score for every hole and put it on a card id be off 12, alot of my trouble now is course management and shot selection. One day I'll be good
Mike you need to make sure that you fire your hips and start your downswing with your legs and make sure you're pulling with your left side (left arm pull) to get rid of that over the top thing. I repeat fire your legs from the top and pull with your left arm and you'll stop coming over the top and taking steep crisscross divots My go to swing thoughts are 1.head still 2. fire my hips and 3. pull with my left arm
good vid sure. just out of curiousity from a high handicapper, wouldn't it be better to stick to one coach like mr sprecker or is multiple advice from multiple coaches better
You release it like that you'll duck hook the hell out of it. Moe Norman, Hogan and Trevino were the best strikers and none dude this bow and turn because it causes a duck hook.
@@ddarrenwillsond3620 both are unacceptable. You should leave the course better than you found it. We always repair ours, we just don't film it because that could be quite boring for the viewers.
Have you ever taken a playing lesson? If so, did you feel like it was worth your time?
It was definitely worth it when I took my first lesson because it took a few strokes off my score.
I've always wanted to but never have.
They did a playing lesson video
Mike!!!!"Divots even with Putts" Had me rollin

Great video. That flighted approach swing is everything once you figure it out
Fantastic lessons. Playing lesson is definitely the way to go

Great video guys, really good content. Could watch these all day.. We call taking a divot "ploughing".. Great work lads.. 👏⛳
Love your guys channel, super fun to watch.
Great video fellas, and you can tell your games are improving, some really solid contact on some of those shots. This was very informational for us followers I would love to see more videos like this.

Thanks Matt! We plan on doing more of these for sure.
I think the best video you guys have done!! GREAT INFO.
James Hecker thanks! More of this type of content to come for sure.
This is great content guys! It would make a great series! Love where the game is at! Both your swings are looking better and better
Great video/info guys, really liked this one!
Love to see where the game is at you guys. Can't wait to see frank finally have to fix those divots and putt better.
Great video! Brad was excellent at teaching, and seems like an awesome dude! I hope you guys get more opportunities to film with Brad!
Reminded me of “play lessons with the pros”. Well done boys ... great video.
Hope you guys do another playing lesson down the road. Awesome content
Love a good instructional twist to the always great vids guys 👌🏻
I love learning from these vids. Great content!
Good stuff guys .very interesting 💯🏴
Love the video guys. Mike if you have a stronger grip it will straighten up that slice. Instead of being more neutral with the grip
Yesss Franky Divots! Great video gentleman

Thanks Eddie! It's a great move if you can master it. Just takes time to get the motor pattern down.
Great putting drill
Amazing video, best one in my mind! On course training and you brought in a professional. Thanks and I took something away from this.
Thanks John! We're going to try and include more of these "playing lesson" videos on the channel for sure.

Great lesson...would like to hear how that K grind is working for you? Most ppl use S & M grind and less F & K grind.
Great video guys! I am looking to get one of these lessons as well. Would you recommend?
Highly recommend taking a playing lesson. Great having a professional show you some strategies on the course!
What’s the app you use to keep your stats???
How can us regular guys get to play these courses? Take lessons with the pro?
Which club and distance what that chip shot @21:21?
good vid sure. just out of curiousity from a high handicapper, wouldn't it be better to stick to one coach like mr sprecker or is multiple advice from multiple coaches better
This guy is brilliant! His student runs one by 8 feet and he says "if you hit it softer it would have been a good putt." WTF???? Thanks Mr. Obvious!
Want to see more awesome content
can i play with u guys sometime

I don't sweep like the amateurs...yes you do.
Kevin sprecker watch out!
LOL. Plenty more with Sprech coming soon 😉
I never saw them repair their divots ...
d: Darren Willson :D can’t film every divot repair 🤪
@@GolficityIt isnt my course so ill forgive you lol. thanks for the reply
@@Golficity what do you think is worse. not repairing divots or pitch marks?
@@ddarrenwillsond3620 both are unacceptable. You should leave the course better than you found it. We always repair ours, we just don't film it because that could be quite boring for the viewers.
@@Golficity If you want it to be better, fix them with a slow release nitrogen fertilizer/sand mix. My repaired divots are greener than the course lol
nice video, if you would ever be interested in a domino intro please let me know, i make domino videos if you would like to check them out 🙏
