Every drive that went left, my heart broke a little more for you. Of all the UA-cam Golfers, there isn't anyone I want to see succeed more. Keep pressing, keep showing up, proud of you for hanging in there. Looking forward to the rebound, you 100% got this!
Really was pretty decent except for drives. Made 2 birdies from the wrong fairway. Sunk a few putts. Played the par 3s well. Thanks for the video! I really enjoy this kind of tournament content.
Next time call ** spoiler alert ** lol
2nd this!!!!
Bro needs to play a draw off the tee, don’t know why he’s so set on a cut.
@@aidan2371 who knew Ben was asking for advice from a 20 hdcpper XD
This is for everyone who doesn't know how hard it is to be a pro golfer. It is truly one of the hardest GRINDS in the world.. Especially when so many amazing golfers are on that same line
Ben, I am rooting for you BIG TIME! Keep it up!
It’s a “grind” when your work ethic exceeds your talent . To many are just very very good golfers but not pro golfers and fail to have the self awareness to realize that so they continue the “grind”
In the early 90"s i played on the HOOTERS TOUR. I could not believe some of these guys were going 9-10 under par on some rounds. Final score 26 under on some tough tracks , and this was considered mini-tour in the south. The competition has only gotten more brutal.
2nd this!!!!! Well said
@@hardknox1917 that doesnt add up at all, if you are very very good then all you need is work ethic for Golf. Ben has tthe talent, he just needs to continue to work.
Great video Ben! As you said the driver is the one making you struggle to shoot better scores. Maybe it's just me but I feel like you are always trying to crush the ball 100% of the times when driving it. I feel like hitting it at 85-95% would help you a lot keeping the ball on fairways more often. Your irons are definitely your strength so fairways would make your life easier.
Love seeing this type of content, keep it going!
Hey Ben! I’m sure you read all of these comments and I just wanted to say that you have a big community pulling for you! I’m sure you will pull it all together for Q school! Always PRESS! Best of luck and can’t wait for the content (or maybe see you on “Sunday!” 🎉
Keep on pressing brother!!!
Golf is hard
I'm looking forward to seeing the journey!!!
Beautiful video. Felt so bad every time I saw the ball head left 😢. The rest of the game was on point. Driving can be fixed.
Keep grinding man. The tournament mode will kick into full swing and the game will hit on all cylinders
Just need to get used to tournament speed with the driver. Mechanically everything is good enough to not have that happen.
You know what you need to work on.
Rest of your game looked very solid.
LOVED the content! Comp content is always appreciated
JUST MET BEN AND DUDE WAS SUPER COOL. Really took the time to talk and meet my son Jacoby. Hated to bother him because he was with his family but he like I said he took the time and had a good quick chat. Thanks Ben good luck!
Good meeting you guys!
Get it done Ben, you can do it!!!
Love this content Ben. Keep grinding and keep pressing. Went to USGA's headquarters in New Jersey recently for a work summit. Saw a guy wearing an Always Press hat and we talked about your content for a while! This video was really cool to watch.
You’ll get the next one! Keep your head up!
We are all with your mate, some of those drives and missed putts were hard to watch. I am sure you were fuming beneath the surface but it sounded like you had some really great playing partners there being as supportive as you can when trying to win yourself. Keep grinding man and love the content
Perfect practice round :-) Go for it!
Question : after the rain delay ... the ball was in the same spot in the bunker but a much friendlier lie .. is that because u just mark your spot and than when u come back you just place it there so no need to bury it ? Thanks for the content !! Look forward to a glorious comeback !!
awesome video, great editing, great access, really fun to watch! can't wait for more! good luck Ben!
Props to you for posting this. I wouldn't have if I were you.
Well put together video regardless of the result keep that up 🆙
This is your best video!! Great job
I just finished .. must say it felt like I was watching a Netflix series and I'm now looking forward to the next episode !!
Shoutout to u brother. Keep grindin
That drop in the hazard on 10 is some Mcilroy P Reed special
Where i come from we have a saying "keep er lit" your life is good stay positive.
Ben, just wanted to put this out there. If you find yourself in North Carolina playing a tournament and you need a place to stay, we have a spare room right here on a golf course. Would love to host you.
Really enjoyed this vid... looking forward to the next
Keep grinding!
Irons seemed good..maybe next time pull back 20 yards on drives and hit some fairways..
The average golfer wouldn't have broke 100 if they had to start with a handful of those drives. You did well to scramble and finish out the round strong
Dude I didn’t know that about you, but I’ve been missing you I. The vids, hell yeah big dog. A
And hardscrabble is in my home town that’s dope. Fun course
You missed the cut by 4 strokes?? Come on man, you can easily fix that, don’t feel bad, just put in the work to find those strokes. You are close!!! Let’s go!! 💪🏼
You not letting that eagle putt go in in the practice round pissed me off so much
And if you're ever in central florida, give me a shout. I've a place you and jalen can crash, no joke.
Wade!
What did the dude in the orange shirt and green and white socks shoot? Gotta know!!!
Golf is hard.
Happy to see you playing competitive again. You’re too good and young to just play UA-cam.
Hey Ben will you bring hats to crown with you
@Ben_Hadden_Golf check your messages lol
You should join forces with Luke kwon
🙏♥️
The game looked great just the driver messed you up
Your scrambling is unbelievable. If your driver would've been on, It would definitely have been a different outcome. Man you're right on the edge of something great! Enjoying this content a lot.
Completely agree
Not gonna lie, it was tough to watch you struggle and get frustrated because as fans we feel it with you. However, I loved how you came back and played the last hole like a true warrior would. Keep that mentality and you will succeed...Always Press brother!
Ben have you ever tried taking full length swings with driver at less than 50% effort just to feel the face. I swing it pretty fast as well and taking down to 20 or 30% effort has really helped me to control the face at impact on regular swings. to me it's kind of like taking jump shots really close to the basket to work on form. Anyways, way to grind it out even a negative experience like this can be a positive in the future!
Couldn’t agree more. Ben’s take away is way slower than his downswing; I’m no golf coach but that’s prob why he is hooking left
THIS is the best video you’ve made man. Real, serious golf that we are all pulling for you on every single shot. This was a pure golf video
Thanks for letting us join you on your journey Ben! Keep it up, really enjoy watching you.
Does decade not have a if you're not hitting driver good try something else?
Great golfer, but man, you’re allowing emotions to control your golf swing way too much. I’m sure if you manage your emotions more. Your golf will improve
The "nope, not in a practice round" i love the superstition, i feel that
effortless eagle
What if sinking that eagle would've given him the run he needed. Instead he tempted destiny and killed his rounds.
@@snr7287 nope. it's all meaningless superstition. he played poorly because his driver is offline
Hey Ben, been watching your channel since before you were with good good. Just want to say that during your practice round your attitude was great. You seemed relaxed, and excited to be there. You were having fun, and you appeared to be playing really well. If you could carry that same mindset into the tournament, you would kill it. Who cares if everyone else is tense and serious. That's not your demeanor. Be yourself and have fun man!
Love your content man. But one thing i found myself wondering while watching the video. Is that the course isnt long, youre a big hitter and youre struggling with the driver. Why not just start hitting a long iron off the tee for position, youre still going to have mid to short iron into most of those par 4's. Either way good content.. Best of luck out there!
Ben, if you ever need a place to stay, reach out. We have a lot of great military friends throughout the US / World. I can always reach out.
Grind,Grind,Grind …Ben you definitely have the game, I thought the same as you with the misses you managed score very well! Like you said a few putts and it’s a different story even with the driver issues!!
You are an absolute stick. But off the tee just stop trying to crank it. Remember slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Anyway good luck, definitely rooting for you
really impressive keeping away from the big numbers, id be happy to break 100 from the spots you found yourself in
Crown Isle is near me ... I'll buy you a beer. If you want a practice round in Nanaimo, let me know
Always Press! Great that you got the q school list! Have fun in BC!
Props for showing up for that last hole. If nothing else, you increased your recent tournament days of golf by 50%. Keep hustling!
Why wouldn’t you just play the draw if that’s what your shot shape was for the day?
love seeing content at the home course, I got to meet you and wish you luck for a school
keep grinding ben! you have an amazing swing and great discipline, you just gotta get back in the groove.
Back to the roots. Love to see it.
It was a very good round besides the tee shots ...
that was the most impressive +7 ever. although as someone who fights the “lefts” i have a touch of ptsd watching you hook everything possible, lol. way to grind. love the tournament rounds.
Back in the trunk!!!
Rooting for you man!
I am glad to see you back at it. You have the skills, keep believing in yourself.
Always let it happen. Remember the feel and set up.
Keep it up brother. It’s awesome seeing you chase your dreams of playing pro golf. Can’t wait for more vids. Chin up kid
Bringing back the trunk slammers hahaha those were some good videos
You have the talent,hope the best for you UA-cam or PGA.
Great video 📹 one of the best.... Ben, you played well for your first tournament back the grind is real and you have tjd game and tje drive..... Keep pressing brother can't wait to see the next tournament!!!
Keep pressing Ben. Follow your Dream.
I respect the hell out of you for showing up, out of the tournament, to finish the last hole. Thats heart and sportsmanship right there.
That was heartbreaking. Sometimes, heartbreaking is a great learning experience, and it is ALWAYS good content. Thank you for that!
Mad respect mate! Your game is looking great! Once you groove the driver back you’ll be crushing! Sending you nothing but the best!
Sleeping in the trunk, crashing hotels that offered free breakfast cleaning the fruit and cereal spread, walking the halls to collect shampoo, soap toothbrush/toothpaste. I've lived those days 😢
The fact that you were playing most balls out of the rough and in the trees and still managed plenty of impressive saves. Once that Driver gets dialed come tournament time you’ll be 5 under per round easily. The short approach shots made my jaw drop with the amount of precision you had.
I always hear pros talking about their fairway finder go-to shot. I'm curious, what is yours? I kept waiting for you to dial it back or maybe hit low stingers since the driver wasn't working out too well. But you kept going at them 150% for two rounds. I thought you could have easily shed those 4 shots if maybe you just left the driver in the car. lol. Every other part of the game looked great. Good luck in Q-school. 😎
Awesome video Ben, and love all the content lately. Loved it when you came back to finish that last hole even when you knew you were out.
Keep it up! Kill it at Q school soon 🤙🏼
With how good your iron play, wedge play, putting and overall short game was... I might just see what it would look like to put the ball in play and give yourself more chances. These big swings with your 3 wood and driver weren't really it for this course IMO. You gotta figure out a way to tighten up your tee ball... hell, with your speed a 2 iron that goes 280 would be perfect for most par 4's I gotta imagine.
You’re such a good golfer and I never saw you hit such crappy drives and then even in this quantity, I honestly couldn’t believe this. The rest of your game, your recoveries were excellent I thought. I’m not worried for you future at all, just get this former fantastic driving back to level again. Good luck 🍀
It's true there are so many great golfers you've never heard of. A guy at my club plays in college and is a +7 handicap, and I think he's ranked in the 690's for amateur golfers. It's crazy. The guy is an absolute stick.
This video was great regardless. I’d watch these every day. Keep it up man!
Ben is a great golfer. I’m sure it’s not easy playing in these tournaments. But every UA-cam golfer I’ve seen compete in qualifying tournaments never perform well. A normal video for their channel, always solid golf. Tournament time, they don’t perform. Am I the only one that notices this trend?
Once the nerves are jangled that bad they don't unjangle so easy. Good start on day 2. But the first twitch the nerves just let loose again. From experience if you were nervous during those practice days instead of convincing yourself you were not, it MIGHT have gone better.
Funny thing is you know all this. You have some deep scars. I feel sorry for you and I really to say that. A little success might get you over the hump but the scars are always there.
You are one of the best golfers on youtube. Loved you on good good. Sky is the limit when you can get the driver under control.
Hang in there, Ben! Idk if this will help at all, but I've found that practicing with a long iron teed about an inch off the ground really helps sort my driver out. It makes the setup similar and your miss zone is way smaller. If you can flush a 2 iron straight from an inch off the ground, you can hit your driver straight in the center. Maybe start looking at the gear if everything else in your bag is working. In any case, just keep grinding, you've got it in you
This was my home course for about 4 years. It's fairly short but boy is it tough. Especially on a rough driving day. Keep grinding bro. It'll come!
You shot low 70's whilst having a LOT of errant tee balls.
If your driver was working, you probably would have won the tournament.
Kid is starting to sound EXACTLY LIKE MICAH MORRIS with all the excuses.
Oddly, even after that chaotic round of golf, I'm not even worried... You've got the game, dude, you're damn good. You won't pull/hook teeshots forever 😉
Love watching you man but someone has got to pick some better background music. Makes it tough to watch. Feel like I’m watching the depressing scene in a drama film.
How do you go pro to be able to play in these as a pro? I am a 31 year old aspiring pro and love competitive golf. Would love to be able to play in events like these, but with no golf background I am not sure how to do that. Love the content Ben! Keep it up and Always Press.
Hey Ben, even though your play wasn't up to your standards I really enjoyed this type of video. Looking forward to he next one, thanks for bringing us along the journey!
No way bro Wade Binfield used to play at my home course, my swing coach used to coach him. Used to talk to him all the time. Small world. Keep up the great work Ben 💯
Yeah I was feeling this with you the whole way. You are exponentially better than myself lol. I just wanted to say I have my best rounds when I give in to the fact I go left. Not snappy but slight draws or pulls. Any rounds I try to move it right just doesn’t go my way. Stay after it brotha and earned a sub from me today 👍
That was hard to watch. I cannot even imagine how hard it was to live through. Every hook, every lip-out, every breaking put that didn't break.
I love the grind side bro. If you get a chance to schedule some stuff in maybe you could go whip up on George Bryan and Ben Kruper real quick for some vids. I would love to see you playing with some guys that are seriously working towards tour as well
Oh boy. We are all rooting for you Ben. Seems that all your long clubs didn’t work well for you. Perhaps a slightly softer shaft on those clubs?
Wait you have self (brand) logos stitched on your covers. But nowhere to sleep. This is madness. Are you claiming poor rn? Do not send this guy loot
