Tip #6: don't automatically grab the driver on every par 4 or par 5, especially if you struggle to put the driver in play. Don't be afraid to hit 3 wood, 5 wood or a hybrid on the shorter holes when there is a lot of trouble off the fairway.
My rebuttal to this is always “if I’m going to hit a bad shot out of play, what’s the difference between hitting a bad wood or hybrid shot out of play and a bad driver shot out of play?”
@@joegiammatteo In my experience, a bad shot with the driver is generally way worse than a bad shot with a hybrid. It's sort of like when you're just off the green and trying to decide whether to chip it or putt it. Generally, your worst putt will be better than your worst chip. So, if being off the fairway just means hitting from the rough, I'm all in favor of hitting the driver and having that extra distance. But if missing the fairway means being in a fairway bunker, thick trees or a water hazard then I'm going to pick a club that gives me a much better chance of finding the fairway even if it costs me some distance.
@@MrMikeT89 Exactly. Years ago when I struggled with my driver there was a par 5 that I played in my after-work league that always gave me trouble. It was tight with heavy woods on the left and OB on the right. But after some quick math I realized I could actually reach that green pretty easily by hitting three 7-irons. From that time on, I started to easily make par and virtually never made worse than a bogey and I took double-bogey or worse completely out of the equation.
Great tips! Love that you don’t retake the shots even though they didn’t go according to plan (which is golf anyway). One thing is it would have been nicer to have seen these with the shot tracers. Still great tips and ones that we really need to remember and follow
Thank you both for the time, effort and delivery style. Much appreciated. What people forget is that as amateurs we dont turn up with same stuff twice😀. The aim is to enjoy the golf and the surroundings along with social chat. What turns up, turns up. Your tips trigger good golf course management through years of experience and coaching. If we get three good shots in a round, that`s the memory. Keep up the good work..
Thanks Brian. Glad this was useful. I am not sure any golfer turns top with the same thing twice😂. Course management is such a key part and can really make it much more enjoyable too. Plus, all it needs is some different decisions.
Piers and Andy how high should I be teeing a wood? Obviously I can't hit the ball as far as you on a par 3. My heaven wood usually goes 150 metres and my 5 iron only about 120 metres. It's always great to watch you guys. I've joined the break something, so I will be trying to break 100 in the next 6 weeks.
Awesome video. Do y'all by chance happen to have already made one on adding spin to full shots? On approach the other day a playing buddy of mine asked me how far my rollout is. I said simply, "however long the green is after my ball hits it". I can't stick em. I hit the distance I want, but no matter where I land the ball, it rolls off the green. Frustrating.
Years ago when I was a bit inconsistent with the driver I switched to a Cleveland 2 iron and it changed my game, all of a sudden I'd be hitting my 2nd shots from the fairway, not that far from where my driver may have got me 3/10 times .. my scores were much lower .. I worked on my driving on the range and only went back once I was confident I could hit a fairway 8/10 shots.
RE Tip #5. If you aim left to battle a slice, you have to actually set up on a target line to that left target, take dead aim at it, and commit to that shot! Your normal ball shape will take care of the rest. Too often, high handicap slicers will set up square to the middle, then turn themselves toward that left target. What have they done? Set up even more of an out to in swing, and caused even more of a slice! I used to do this so much!!! 😜You have to set up and commit like you are trying to hit a straight shot at that left hand target. Yes, sometimes you will hit that straight shot. So try and pick a target you can live with if you hit to it. Try not to aim it OB. Speaking from experience here. 😉 But most of the time, you'll fade/slice it back in play. And oddly enough, your slice will probably start to become not as severe once you get good at this. Because you'll have straightened out your swing path a bit.
@meandmygolf - I too like the tip about using more club with an easier swing. My question though is this - at what distance do you stop doing this and revert to a full shot?
@Iain. Good players rarely hit full shots with any club but never with short irons. When was last time you saw a good player at your club swing so hard he lost balance. When was last time you saw a high handicapper loose balance trying to hit a PW 100yards, cause they have seen someone do it on you tube. You can break 90 by consistently hitting a PW 70 to 80 yards.
Hi, tip 3: your heel line was aligned to the bunkers… shame the camera was not down the line so we viewers could clearly see your mistake. A shot tracer would be great 👍 Tip 5: not sure I agree. I’m a bogey player and I can’t always predict my shot shape. It starts as a draw and becomes a fade and then a slice as the round progresses and tiredness creeps in…
Watching these videos hoping to find they key to breaking 90, only to find I do all of these thing already 🙈. I think I just need to improve consistency of my swing and shot shape.
While these are great tips, I'd love to see data that talks about struggles of golfers in the 90-100 range. For me, the single best thing I can do to break 90 is to get it in the fairway off the tee. Way too many shots are lost from OOB balls, having to punch out (and not make compound mistakes doing so), etc. As a mid 90s golfer, I know if I can just get it in the fairway off the tee, I can shave at least 5 strokes off my game. Now to practice getting consistent off the tee....
On the par 3's I definitely wouldn't recommend hitting off the deck. As the greatest Jack Nicklaus said you'll never have a better lie then when it's on a tee.
90? How about break 70 😁. Shot 68 the other day... But I played from the Senior tees that I never play from in preparation for our Club Championship. I'm 66 and usually play from not the white tees but the blue tees. Blessed.
Do this: Play shots you know you can do, avoid risks. Practice putting, bumb'n'runs and short pitches around the greens. Easy to break 100. All those OB and waterballs are the difference between a 100 and a 120 shots player.
Good tips. I never use a tee on a par 3. You can't tee your irons in the fairway, so why on the par 3? That would require you to adjust your swing, whether you do it consciously or not. Also, you tip about playing your ball flight. I was hitting a bit of an over draw, not quite a hook, but turning more than I wanted it to. On the 3rd hole I told myself, "well if you're going to hit the ball that way, just adjust the target". Lined up on the left side of the box. aimed to the right side of the fairway, and hit the straightest ball in the world, right into the woods! LOL! So, you want to fix your ball flight? Just aim at the trouble, you'll get there every time! Just can't take this game too serious. Just have fun with your buddies! JM2C
I tee it up the tiniest bit just like a nice clean lie. In the words of Arnold Palmer you get one chance to create a perfect lie each hole, you should take advantage of it
My course requires the use of tees of the greens. They take too much damage if, say, 50% of players didn't. Just tee low. Two fingers around the ball and tee, press down a bit hard and you got that 1 cm required.
Hi Robin. If you are a slicer then your ball finishes right. You need to aim left. This video is about managing your game to get it in play. Fixing the slice is left for the range. A mistake that golfers make is trying to fix things out in a competitive round.
Also Robin it sounds like your slice could be something that is holding you back from breaking 90. This is something we really dial in on in our Break 90 coaching plan and we know we can help you break 90 in less than 6 weeks.

@@meandmygolf. thanks for taking the time to reply … really means a lot. I have just started some lessons at my club and pleased to report its looking promising, but if it falls out of bed I definitely will be in touch .. once again thanks for the reply, nice to know it’s not just lip service or ‘click bait’ … great videos btw 😊
He might be saying it as a daily thing just to break 90. But he's also right that it's a lot harder to try to hit it straight, it's better to just swing your swing for that day.
@@meandmygolf. that is a very difficult question to answer. My concept of what the actual golf swing must be wrong.(feel vs real). putting is impossible..(usually pace) and poor experience with in person lessons. The game is just very difficult as well...I think most golfers don't break 90 is proof of that. Say hi to Chris from me in Bermuda next time you talk ! Roger Trottier
Wow. I’ve only been playing with more intentionally for two years and I snapped three clubs (so far) this season. How do you keep sane after all these years? What keeps you coming back?

Great tip! There's a par 5 that I used to struggle with using driver/woods. With a 6 or 7 iron, I can get there in 3/4 shots with relative ease
My rebuttal to this is always “if I’m going to hit a bad shot out of play, what’s the difference between hitting a bad wood or hybrid shot out of play and a bad driver shot out of play?”
I fell out of love with the driver last year and always use 4i or above depending how to split hole

Good course management and knowing your yardages are a big help. Forget the crap shots, reset and make sure the next shot is good.
Agreed Paul.👌🏻
Really enjoyed that! More on course tips like these, please. 👍
Great to hear Stephen! More to come.

What course are you guys on?
Which shoes are these please??
@meandmygolf - I too like the tip about using more club with an easier swing. My question though is this - at what distance do you stop doing this and revert to a full shot?
You can do it with mid-irons but sub 140 yards is a good guide👍

Thanks gentlemen! The tip about clubbing down with the irons is interesting, I will practice that and see how it turns out
let us know how it goes.👍🏻

Having lost nearly 6 stone since January I’m really struggling with the my driver but irons have improved? Any advice much appreciated
Cheers guys

I use a red tee

Between the tips from you guys and Rick Shiels I may have a chance
Good luck Daniel!🙌
Looks like rain guys...said nobody in San Diego ever. Keep cool. Nice video.
😂👍
I feel I consistently break 90 but watched anyway, safe to say I do all these except go for the safe option of punching out
Play the slice he says, it’ll be fun he says
"I going to make a sensible decision here."
We play golf very differently from each other!
I'm a nice guy so I'll do you guys a favor and see if these tips also help with breaking 120 next time they let me back on the course! 😅
Do this: Play shots you know you can do, avoid risks. Practice putting, bumb'n'runs and short pitches around the greens. Easy to break 100. All those OB and waterballs are the difference between a 100 and a 120 shots player.

Broke 90 for the first time I was 🔥🔥🔥 less than 200 yards and I only used 3 wood for my drives
Great work Ricardo!
great number tip 2,, let the ego go.
Hey now, I don’t tee my par 3’s up that high!
Do all this already … rarely break 90 😂 … as a slicer aiming left is a formula for disaster surely!

These guys look super stoned in the intro
I don’t think aiming more left with your driver is good advice it can make the slice way worse.
Almost always the case...everyone that has a slice only gets worse the more left they aim.
Agree. Just makes it worse. But that said, on the course is not always the best place to try and fix things...
He might be saying it as a daily thing just to break 90. But he's also right that it's a lot harder to try to hit it straight, it's better to just swing your swing for that day.
