Finally, a good example of how to think your way around a hole. Started golf later in life, I’m 71 now and this is exactly what I need to see. Thank you!
"Standard pitching wedges now on average have about 44 degrees of loft. So when I was growing up that was more what an 8 iron was. So that's why people look like they're starting to hit the ball further."
LOVE IT. Someone who's willing to just casually call a spade a spade! Shrinking loft disease has been going on for ages now, and it doesn't do anyone any favours. That leaves you 8 degrees of loft between that and your 52 degree wedge. When David and I were growing up, a 52 degree wedge WAS a pitching wedge. But as lofts shrank, they had to invent a new wedge to fill that growing gap between a pitching wedge and a sand wedge. Some manufacturers even called it a Gap Wedge. Now, with some sets, they stretch the loft gaps to 6 degrees between 9 and PW and GW in order to avoid having to create a 5th wedge, and drop yet another fairway wood. And don't get me started about turning 3 irons into 5 irons, and creating hybrids to compensate for making long irons unhittable.
Lord, what a bunch of nonsense!
Hi David, new to the channel and loving this instruction. 64 years old, got down to 14 years ago. Now floating around 17/18. I feel I still have the shots, although not the distance. This is helping me to manage expectations and play a calmer and more relaxed form of golf, which is leading to more consistant scoring. Thanks again.
What a great video. I’m 71 years old and that’s how I try to play. If you know your limitations, you can have a decent score.
Great advice. I am amazed at how relaxed and seemingly slow your swing is to easily achieve 180+ off the tee.
So measured and calm. Many thanks David
A brilliant video, the key is to harness your capabilities, we overcomplicate the game but you just showed there that our 15th club the head on your shoulders is our best tool when playing golf.
love this video.. it makes golf looks like a relaxing game, not a rush and stressful one
Excellent video. I've returned to golf at age 53 after trying golf in my early 20s. This is how you do it folks. Bogey golf is my goal every time out.
Here's the problem: you're hitting every shot how you want to. Anyone can make a bogey and an occassional par doing that - the issue with most 18 handicapers is they flub shots that cost them strokes at least every few holes. I'm a 12 and play with lots of 18s and if we didn't have bad shots/penalty shots we'd all be several strokes better.
Totally agree. A bogey golfer has to be able to hit 2-3 decent shots IN A Row.
Of course it helps if you’re playing a course with what looks like 150 yard wide totally flat fairway with no bunkers on it or few around the green.
Pretty easy for a 2 or 3 handicapper to club down to hit the ball like a 20 handicapper. But 18-20 'cappers don't hit 10 good shots in a row ( i can vouch for that..)
One fat shot that goes 20 yds on the par five , plus one skulled chip and your bogey turns into snow-guy...
When you expect to bogey a hole, you will bogey a hole. Generally hit the club that will carry you to the back of the green. A miss hit will probably get you on the green. One thing that has really helped with chipping is to put most of my weight on the front foot. Stand close to the ball with the toe of the club on the ground. Start with the next to the most lofted club and chip 10 balls to an open spot on a flat green. My average was 14 yards. My G club was 19. My pitching wedge was 25. 9 iron 32. 8 about 39. All with the same swing. Up hill a little shorter, down hill longer. On a faster green, it may be 16 and 22, so I adjust. The point is if the pin is 15 yards, 54 degree club for me. My up and down has really improved with the “ same swing” you just have to trust it. Practice it and you instantly know distance.
David, wow I watch many many golf videos. This one truly stuck with me. I'm not a bogey golfer, more like 105 ish. I can hit the ball a ton, just never consistent (well except for bad). I seem behind scoring right off my tee shot. I plan on implementing this technique on my very first round of golf. I'm excited to give it a go. Thank you
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Thank you for this common sense approach to course management.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Amazing advice
Indeed very calm... avoids getting into uncalled for trouble. Thanks for your tips.
Don’t believe that many 18 handicap golfers always hit smooth down-the-fairway shots. Go out and follow an 18 handicapper, and you’ll see why!
Nice video thanks - I'm looking forward to the How To Shoot 100 video :)
A twofer, course management lesson, and how to play as an 18 handicap golfer. Excellent video. Oh, and I liked how you read the greens.
Good to watch but most of us duff a shot here and there that’s causing our game to gain shots that’s hard to work out 😊
Duffs and total miss hits are the culprit in my game as well. Totally agree
Yes, but we're also capable of parring six holes this way too. Still can break 90 with a couple of bad holes. He's teaching us to play with the shots we're confident we can play.
Bogey golf is pretty decent in the grand scheme of things. I aim to have a putt for par, even if its 20 or 30 ft. As long as your pace control is ok you should get plenty of easy bogeys. Then its a case of hitting more better shots than bad ones on and around the green.
Really enjoyed your course management
Best coach on HOW to play the game for improvement.
Yes indeed!
Thank you, please share with your friends
@@TheResourcefulCoach already have !!
Great video, inspirational ; will try it tomorrow.
Thank you for this cool lesson. I learned some good things have a great day
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
I like this
If you're an 18 learn how to punch from under trees to advance the ball and chip over bunkers to save par...
Just came across your channel, watched this video, good no-nonsense content!
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for putting things in to perspective.....
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching!
I think it boils down to using the club you trust to achieve the goal. Forget hero shots. The 70 per cent rule works well.
This style of play leaves no room for errors. My problem is fat/thins and shanks. So that adds a few more strokes and I end up shooting in The high 90s to low 100s. If you are a consistent ball striker this is a great way to play.
Watch my video ‘Improve Your Ball Striking - Practice off a Downhill Lie’ , this will help to reduce your fat and thin shots.
So true, one duff in their and its a double or triple bogey
I started playing golf in late April and now it is early July. I appreciate your videos but I have a question. How do you hit the ball in the first place so I can start getting those 90's instead of 140's?
playing boogie golf runs in increased risk for double B ? . I will trying it. Laying up a bit more with straighter shots.
A great representation of a bogey golfer. Manage long game mistakes and have a very good short game to clean up everything around the green.
The other way to give oneself more space with that chip on the 2nd hole is to aim just a smidge right, where there is a little more room behind in case the ball runs on a bit. Not much. Just a bit. I like your idea of only needing to get within a 15 foot radius. In this case, as you say, a little short and maybe a smidge right keeps all that radius on the green.
why didn't you hit a fairway wood for the second shot on the par 5, then a wedge to the green?
The data I have developed shows you what you need to achieve to play to a certain level, this video is to shoot 90. I always encourage my golfers to hit their best possible shot, the video is designed to show what is really required. Keep your game and mind in balance with this level. Please watch my 12 shots of golf, shot maintainers to help develop your consistent level.
@@TheResourcefulCoach do you have a video explaining the data?
@@trevh1400 my videos titled 12 shots of golf, show you data for all shots ranging from putting through to your driving
There are around 8/9 different videos
Great video but I didn't see a single sand trap or water hazard. I'm 78 years old. I might be able to shoot 90 on that course if Im having a good day.
I don’t know any club golfer that from the middle of the fairway on a par 5 would hit a 6 iron to lay up. These days players are hitting their rescue clubs and going 40-60 yards further than their 6 iron.
The idea behind the 12 Shots of Golf is to show you on average how far you need to hit each shot when playing down a hole. If you can advance it 150 yards, this will keep you playing to 18. If you have the ability to hit it further then you have the opportunity to play to a lower handicap. The 12 Shots of Golf will help you understand what’s required to play to a certain level, and I’ve found it takes pressure off the player, making them play better.
You played three relatively straight holes. On my home course there are a few holes that really eat me up! One is a double dog leg. Tee shot: trouble left and right but you need some distance to get in good position for second shot. Also, if you hit it better than average, you have a downhill sidehill lie for second. Second shot you need some distance also if you want to have a chance to clear the creek in front of the green. Sometimes you have to lay up if you have anything much more than 150 yards. Trouble left, right, and short. The easy-peasy style you're showing may not get you where you need to be. Par 5. My typical score is 7-8. Sometimes worse. Hardly a level lie for the entirety of the hole. So, although I like your approach, it won't work for every hole.
The 3 holes have their different challenges, which the camera may not show.
The Par 5 is a double dogleg, first it gradually moves right to left, and then a right angle dogleg to the right. The second shot is a downhill hanging lie with the ball above your feet.
The Par 3 is a straight 200 yarder
The Par 4 has a 5-6 degree slope from left to right, which is why the ball rolled into the edge of the trees.
The great thing with golf is every hole has its own challenges, which is why I love this game.
@@TheResourcefulCoach I guess the camera makes it look a lot tamer than it is. I have noticed this phenomenon in my ski photos. Sorry, I jumped to a wrong conclusion, there.
If i could just learn how to hit that far so easily. Cant find that timing
You are not realistic at all. 18 markers duff plenty of shots , lose balls, take 3 to get out of bunkers , have doubles and triples.
You hit perfect shots for what you were trying to do, no 18 marker ever does that.
Actually, that's pretty much how I used to break 90. I thought the video was pretty fair representation of how to go about planning your play. Yes, there will be some problems and duffed shots you'll have to work around. But my experience tells me that the number of such shots goes way down if you start hitting lower pressure, easier shots. The tops and fats and duffs mostly come when you are trying to really hit one, I find. When I took off the pressure, I hit straighter and hit into way less trouble, too. I'd get only a 1-2 doubles per round, but make up for that with 3-4-5 pars and shoot 87-89. On the days I duffed more and had a triple or two, I'd be up around 92 or so. Some days, things would really work out, and I'd scare 80. It works.
The ones I see going OB, and losing balls, and taking 3 to get out of bunkers aren't 18 handicappers. They are players that can't break 100. Or at least that's been my experience.
If you're taking 3 to get out of bunkers, carding doubles and triples, and losing balls, you're nowhere near an 18. Better rethink that handicap!
@@pepawg2281 I wasn’t referring those things happening every round but an 18 handicapper does all of those things . I’ve played with plenty of 18 handicappers, they are the mistakes they make…off 18 you are really inconsistent
Finally somebody who gives real useful tips for everybody. Greetings from Belgium 🏌️♂️👍😁
