    All proceeds of this video going to Doug? What a man!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому +18

      I just found his email and sent him the vid. Hope he likes it!

    And not a comment not replied to - no one deserves your success both on the golf course and online as much as you. I like to think I've been around since the start of the channel and have only seen both you and the videos improve immeasurably, we are all incredibly fortunate to have you on here. Well played Adam!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому +15

      Thank you so much for the kind words. It's still difficult for me to believe there are so many people watching and enjoying, and I'm grateful for every last person who watches! Appreciate you sticking out the growing pains on the channel!

    Caddie Doug has the laser eyes. My God his reads probably took 4 strokes off the card at least.
    Course looks beautiful.

  • @wdiddy1
    @wdiddy1 11 місяців тому +11

    Holy crap what a difference Doug makes, his knowledge takes the guess work out of each shot so you can just concentrate on doing what he says. Playing with a clear mind is one of the most difficult thing for high handicap golfers as the confidence is not there yet.

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому +1

      Agreed! That round is easily half a dozen strokes worse or more without Doug.

    I don't comment a lot but I've been watching for two years and Its awesome watching the channel grow and great to see your career round. Alot of golf content creators are not 100% honest with their shots and to see you shoot par knowing it's honest makes me respect you and your work so much.

    What a series. This felt like the long awaited season finale to a tv series you’d been watching for years. Maybe that’s because I have been haha. Congrats on this great round Adam. Keep it up, excited to see where the channel takes you going forward

    I swear, every good round of golf starts with what feels like 2 awful swings that treat you nicely. Well done dude, going low!

  • @OffBrandGolf

    Haha. At the end of this video I just smiled and enjoyed you two putting that. Man this made my week.

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Man, I mentioned this in the video, but after holing out on 9, I really thought I had a chance of going even or under par on the back. I had just wedge in on 18 and thought, "holy crap, I could stick this close and go under par." Then, I pushed it a hair and it got a brutal kick, and suddenly I went from thinking about going 1-under to sweating about not 3-putting and shooting 1-over. Then, the putt REALLY had a chance of going in and suddenly it was "maybe I'll shoot 1-under!" again. A real seesaw of emotion!

  • @bobfrantz768
    @bobfrantz768 11 місяців тому +6

    Holy crap! What a round! I’ve had 5 scores from 80-83 and not broken 80 yet. Handicap down to 8.7 from 14.6 a year ago. This weekend it’s happening!

    The stuff that golf roadtrip dreams are made of - a great score on a beautiful course in spectacular weather.

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Indeed, I'm so grateful to have dropped one great round during the trip!

  • @adub22
    @adub22 11 місяців тому +11

    Having Doug mentally freed you up to just focus on playing golf and not thinking about your swing mechanics, but just hitting the ball at an intended target. Most of your misses were not far off line. This was such a great video to illustrate what all those golf books talked about (Zen Golf, Elements of Scoring, etc.) mentally where you should be on the golf course. "The golf course is not where you give yourself a lesson" Thanks Adam!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Glad you enjoyed it, and great callout to Zen Golf! I haven't read Elements of Scoring. Will add it to the list.

  • @mek90703
    @mek90703 11 місяців тому +1

    I don't want to comment on your first caddie, you know haw good or bad he was. I want to comment on your second caddie. What a joy it would be to play Bandon with him! Always encouraging and, like you said, he REALLY knew the course. I've unfortunately had a couple of bad caddies (one who couldn't give me the correct number if his life depended on it), but golf is so much easier when you have a great caddie! Most of us can hit the ball in the direction we want to, but doubt causes us to flinch at impact. Having a great caddie tell you with certainty where to hit it removes that doubt! Great roun, Adam! I'm sure you tipped that caddie well!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      I'm with ya! Aside from this trip, I think I've had caddies on 3 or 4 other occasions, and the difference between a bad caddie, a good caddie, and a great caddie is indeed immense. I can't recall who Doug caddied for on tour, and in any event you could just tell immediately that the guy knew the game and - as important - knew that course. I obviously wouldn't have carded that score without him, and believe me he got a healthy tip!!

  • @jamesdouglas8365

    @strokerAce411 11 місяців тому +10

    wow! I've watched your videos for a long time and that's the best I've ever seen you play and what a place to do it. I played Pacific last spring and it is not an easy course and those greens are slick. Well done Adam, well done!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Thanks so much. I figure if you play enough golf, one day it has to come together. Very fortunate that I did it at Pacific!

  • @aChar_13
    @aChar_13 11 місяців тому +2

    Love the peacefulness of your videos. SwingTweaks helped me immensely with my driver and thanks to my first tweak I was able to break 90 twice so far this season! Keep up the great content Adam!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Thanks for the kind words. And great to hear this SwingTweaks feedback. I've never jibed with a product/channel sponsor as immediately as I did with SwingTweaks. It just makes perfect sense to eschew the in-person component of the traditional golf lesson (especially when considering the price). I'm really glad that people are enjoying it! Yes, they're an official sponsor, but I'm a believer and I'm going to keep singing their praises!

    @mikepz4907 11 місяців тому +3

    Key stat; 13-18 (72%) GIR. That's scratch level accuracy! Super impressive. Combined with 10/13 fairways hit, that's the formula for low scores. A pleasure to watch, congrats!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, 13 GIRs is definitely atypical for me, and I'm glad I was able to capitalize!

    @RamanKumar-mi6nn 11 місяців тому +7

    Thanks for sharing these rounds Adam! It's tough to stay grinding on the rough rounds like the first one. Good to see you reset and finish par on the second one. I recently went through a rough patch of 10 rounds... never been so frustrated in my life but then I shot the best round of my career eight after. Golf is such a funny game. Best of luck.

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Funny game indeed. PBs can come in the middle of terrible stretches, and I often follow up PBs (or near PBs) with big numbers.

    great round! great caddie! i've played Pacific 10-12 times over the years. Toughest course on the property. This is not the first time i've seen a caddie bring out the best in someone and improve their score by 10+ shots. Well done sir!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer

    Loved the contrast between each of the two rounds. Perfectly encapsulates the mercurial nature of the game. Doug obviously played a significant role, but kudos to you for such a great scorecard on round 2.
    The difference was like night and day. Captivating content - well done!

    @marshallhilfman 11 місяців тому +1

    Adam - you should try reading some of Joshua Medcalf's books! He is the club champion at my club (San Diego Country Club), and writes from the perspective of a golfer and a life/mental coach. From Hack to Scratch or Pound The Stone are probably his most relatable books and reflect well on some of the emotions guys like you and I experience on the golf course. I feel like I am improving on my golf journey as you are - taking more club and just going for contact with my irons and wedges as I am knocking on the door of a round in the 70s. Joshua took the same path to become club champ. Thought you might find that shared connection interesting. Awesome to watch you take down Bandon like this!!

I'm down from 26 to 18 since I started watching your videos. Matched my best score of 85 last weekend too. Onwards and upwards for us both!

    @ryannorthcott8483 11 місяців тому +1

    This is just the video I needed! I took a lot from your level of focus but also zen like state when entering the back. I’ve even par on the front a few times before, but I haven’t found the right state of mind to bring it home on the back nine. I’m either putting too much pressure on myself or am too aloof..
    Also liable to shoot 90+ on any given day so I like that you included your terrible round (although I would have watched it all the way).
    Congrats on the 71!

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Thanks! Until this round, my prior best (aside from a round on a short course in Palm Springs) was 2-over. I definitely began to feel it on the back 9. I was mostly even keeled although, like I said in the video, I was very nervous hitting my tee shot on 17.

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  11 місяців тому

      Thank you! I think part of the reason some of us have a hard time keeping our cool is that we're misled into believing that we should always play at or near our handicap. It's for that reason that I try to include the 90-something rounds on the channel. Golf is hard.

    Man your driver was HOT in that second round.
    Keen to know what you've been working on to get so much more distance recently, it's night and day!

      Thank you!
      My driver has really run hot and cold for a while now. This round was actually recorded almost a full year ago, and since then my driver has gotten cold and then hot again.
      I actually don't think I gained meaningful distance until about a month or two ago (a better fit driver helped), it's just that the rollout in August on a links course (like in this video) compared to Vancouver golf in the Winter (where it's cold and soft) are drastically different. If I go into a simulator and hit a good drive, it carries 230-240. So, in Vancouver in the Winter, that drive may only carry 220 and roll out to 230, compared to Bandon in the Summer where it carries 240 and rolls out to 270+...
