Look how happy Paddy gets when Conor hits a good one! Absolutely fantastic - not many pros would get such satisfaction from helping an amateur like this
I'd love to have a couple of hourss with Padraig, I bet he'd make me so much better as a golfer than all the hours practice I do. Great videos, love this guy.
Watching videos of DeChambeau teaching Paige Spirinac and Rick Shiels, he talks about the same thing as Padraig. I've been golfing for 50 years and realize I've never hit the ball correctly. I'm now trending to a 6 index which I thought would never happen. Padraig's a great teacher; what he says about the 1% blows my mind. Also, is Padraig recommending coming a bit across the ball or hitting the ball square?
I remember watching Paddy hitting practice shots from a bunker on the range at the 2002 open at Muirfield. Incredible to watch. His caddie was throwing the balls in all different lies and he was nailing them all. I must have watched him hit around 50 balls. Total focus and dedication, shot after shot. This stuck with me and in 2013, I went back to the same bunker and there was Jordan Spieth doing the same. Moral of the story - even the best need to do sh!tloads of practice to be that good.
They need a lot of practice to maintain what they have, but as busy as professional golfers are, they don't have jobs or anything else so I'd expect them to be in the habit of practicing a lot daily. After all they're also paying other professionals, often a small team, to be at the ready to work on different elements of their game, so that's also going to keep you motivated when you have a dedicated schedule to stick to. What I find more impressive is the work they put in from being a junior and spending 2-3 hours before or after school every day, and countless hours on the weekends, and then as they got older if they didn't turn pro immediately, managing the same dedication with a full time job (Paddy was in the process of becoming an accountant before he eventually decided to go pro). Most of them did that without a coach or team pushing them daily (unless they were a total prodigy like Tiger, Rory etc) So I don't think practicing a lot now is a big deal to these guys, in fact I think they actually enjoy it for the most part. They'd have never gotten to this level in the first place if they didn't.

There's nothing like a perfectly struck golf shot, it's what keeps us coming back and striving for, but this perfection is fleeting
That sound I will be looking for that from now on in bunkers. Bryson did that line lesson on his channel great tip.
Love these with Paddy
Would love to get a lesson from Paddy- coaching is fantastic and so relatable
I have never heard that you want a little hit in a sand shot. This is eye opening.
If Padraig Harrington exclaimed “heaven” after a golf shot of mine, I’d die a happy man!!😂 great video & great experience for you, I imagine, Con!!
Go on the lads what a man to get tips from 👏👏 can’t believe u didn’t do Padraig for padraig 😂😂
Great stuff, loving the new content, keep it coming!

Love how chuffed Harrington is
You're a natural in the sand!
top man Paddy :)
I was expecting Conor to do a PH impression 😢😂
Imagine going round the course with Pádraig giving advice. Either, you will crumble or play the round of your life.
