    I gotta say, when I first found your videos, I was like: there’s no way this guy with this swing can have x handicap. Now I'm completely addicted to your videos, your storytelling of the round and your humor are what makes it for me. Keep it up!

      Thanks so much, Gustavo. As you've seen, I'm liable to blow up on some days but can drop a respectable score from time to time. I don't really get too exercised about it. i just love the game.

      I’m in the exact same boat. I still don’t genuinely believe your HC reflects your game, I feel like your HC goes off the short course (basically chip n putt) course that you absolutely murder. Still good content.

    Pebble has that effect on you where the scoring becomes secondary and the round is full of gratitude that you get to play such an iconic and scenic course! I liked the b-roll bits where you showed you took the time to soak it in and capture some views. Another great one Adam keep em coming!

      Played Pebble and Spyglass in 2014. My hands and knees were shaking for 17 holes around PB, the view and the history are awe inspiring. I managed to pull it together to par 18 and shoot 101. Standing in the middle of 18 with a birdie putt waiting for me on the green was the closest I'll ever come to that rock-star feeling. What a day, worth the cost of admission without a doubt.

I love your approach to content - no frills, no filler, just beautiful courses with great commentary. I really admire your positivity. As someone who is starting his golf journey a bit later in life (35) and still terrible after months of lessons, your videos (and the occasional dream shot I'm able to somehow hit) really inspire me to keep the dream alive. And as someone with his own struggles, it warms my heart so much to hear how you came out of your illness and found your happy place. You are honoring your donor and his family. I hope there's a lot more content to come. ❤️

    Absolutely agree with some of the others that while people freak out about playing well at Pebble, the golf really is secondary to the experience. It's such a special place and soaking it all in is what matters.

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed. Could have shot 150 and wouldn't have cared.

    I played here 28 years ago, from the tips and playing off 3. I was delighted with my 81 especially because it took 7 or 8 holes to get over the 'OMG, I'm playing Pebble'. IMO, this course/area is among the most beautiful on earth.

    Oh man did I enjoy this video. I am a disabled veteran who has not been able to swing a club in nearly 30 years thanks to a horrible back injury in a training accident. The only golf I get to play is computer golf like Links 2003 and Perfect Golf on the computer. I have been playing Pebble Beach in these games all this time wishing I could see and play the real thing. Now I get to live vicariously through your videos. I see you have one for Banff Springs, my absolute favorite course in the world so I will watch that one next.

    • @NotAScratchGolfer
      @NotAScratchGolfer  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow, this is really touching to read. I'm sorry to hear about your injury and am so glad you're still enjoying golf in your own way. It's humbling to hear that my videos also bring you the joy of golf in another way, too. The back 9 Banff video goes live on Monday - hope you enjoy it!

    Started watching your videos a couple months back. Two things. They are the perfect length to watch at 7 or 8 minutes and I have made this recommended watching for the boys on the golf team I coach. It reinforces what I say when I tell them that you can shot low scores without perfect execution.

    Had a similar experience like yours - just sneaking on at the last second! Got to spend my round with an 85 yr old man and his 60 yr old son, both crossing it off their bucket list - score was secondary that day (although its awesome you got your birdie! I had mine on the 7th!). Looking forward to somehow playing there once again down the road.
