@Ben Ronnie Instablaster =)
@Bo Bronson thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Bo Bronson it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Ben Ronnie no problem :)
17 hcap, looking to consistently break 90 and move in to the low 80s. Best round this year 81, worst 98!
22-23 and I am trying to break 90! Touched 90 once this summer but working towards a 18 handicap by next summer! Great stuff James!
Love to know where you're at now, 3 years on...
Need to get your guests miked up James. Really spoils video listening to a one sided conversation. It would be interesting to hear the thoughts of high handicapers when their playing?
Absolutely...would be great to hear their thoughts on each shot and any feedback from James.
Currently playing off 28. Set myself the goal of breaking 100 before the end of the summer. Managed to achieve it with a 94 yesterday. Onto the next target now.
I rarely comment on videos but I just had to come back to comment!
I watched this video a couple of weeks ago after playing shocking not breaking a 100 again with a 105.
This weekend just gone, I scored an 85!!!!
Your advice of setting up to the ball, thinking about hitting the ball like a football resonated with me and it helped me massively, especially off the tee with the driver!
I used to be scared to hit the driver as I always sliced it but now! love it!
Big thanks to you James!
Playing off 16 and working hard to stay there. Not a spring chicken anymore and my bones have started to creak.👍
Bogey golf is about getting the ball on the green in +1 and 2 putting...not getting it close to the flag but on the green!!! Once you come to that realization bogey golf becomes easier. Breaking 80 is a refinement of chipping and putting and making 50% of your 6 feet putts from my perspective. .....James/Will I have enjoyed your videos!!!!
I'm a 25 handicap and looking to also break 90. I came close with a 92. But then couple of rounds later lot's of mistakes come into play and I get 102!! So frustrating but we keep trying. Keep up the good work, I'm loving the content.
Started breaking 90 last year and the start of this year I was back to shooting 92-96. Now back to shooting 85. Lot of work and taking a lesson which really helped. Good luck all. Thanks James.
Everyone hates when you point out they are aiming wrong. It’s something they have to figure out on their own. I don’t blame you James for keeping hush.
Very relatable for me being a 26.9 hcp at the moment
You're awesome, funny, keep doing what you're doing, good luck with everything, and have a great day!😀🏌️♂️⛳
Very relatable. after 10 years away i got on a course again after lockdown, got my first handicap of 29, and have only broken 100 twice, with 2 97's, and got cut a couple of days ago to 26.3. Looking at breaking 100 consistently, and will be looking at breaking 90 in the not too distant future. My aim is bogey golf atm, which should fulfil both goals at the same time.
I’m in my second season of golf. Much like Will. I shoot in the mid nineties. My best three rounds this summer are 92. I’m still trying to break 90. When my driver is working I have a legitimate chance. It’s my second or approach shots from 130 or more out that is my biggest struggle. I’m one bad stroke per hole from getting into the 80’s.
I was off 22 at the start the season and now current down to 17 wanted 18 at start but happy to be down more, putting was always my problem, had 10 3 putts on captains day then changed my putter to one with alingment on it, and went and won the next comp with 1 three putt in round
Really great to see some one helping Foxy, he keeps a great attitude when things are going right. As a high handicapper as well he said some thing very important , we us high handicappers have the trouble of the tee. I never know where the ball is going using my driver. To break 90 I use my 3 wood of the tee every time.
Good video! I'm a single-digit handicap and I'm STILL thinking mainly "Keep it in play" on the tee and "Get it somewhere on the green" when I'm chipping and pitching. Well...get it somewhere close if possible. But the point is what James says: minimize the mistakes that you can and don't get worked up about bad shots. That last part I'm still working on.
I’m a 19 from the white tees and a 14 from the senior tees. Last year I started out as a 26 from the whites and 22 from the senior (gold) tees. I’ve been hitting in the high 80s and aiming for the low 80s. Just got a new set of Callaway Mavrik Max irons. I shot a 46-39 the first time out with the new irons. I just need to keep the ball in the short grass and try not to kill the ball!
Very true, hardest part is getting off the tee into decent position, bought myself a Calloway Bertha mini 1.5 and an Epic flash 3 hybrid to try off the tee this year
I have only been playing for 3 months. Around 25 handicap. My quest too is to be in 90s consistently. I have totally falling love with the game. I only lost 1 ball driving the ball on 18. Best driving day of my short golf life. OF COURSE my chipping and putting sucked...😣
My goal is to beat my lowest ever handicap of 3.5 this season. I was back up at 5.5 after lockdown but I've lost 1.8 shots in my last 3 rounds after a run of 73, 68 and 75 and I'm currently back down to 3.8. The -3, 68 gross was my lowest under par round and the first time I've broken 70 which has always been a goal of mine.
I do not have a handicap, but guess I'd be around 25. My immediate goal is to break 100 and with the points you've talked about in this video I can see myself on the way to 90 in no time
Really want to get into golf as an avid carp angler the tranquility and competitiveness and just the love of being outdoors appeals to me and enjoying watching golf I want to take it up as another hobby but I don't want to look a fool out on the course or even on the driving rage for that matter 😔
You just described my game of 2 years. Currently tracking to 23.1 (also thx to The Grint app). I can consistently break 100 but 90 has be thus far elusive. Bring the match on! I also don't like my shirt tucked in.
Alright James, only recently started playing golf self taught, been playing just coming on 3 months I played my first full 18 round the other week and LOVED IT! My handicap is 36, I’ve gotten addicted to the game and just want to improve in every aspect of my game especially my driving, but I just want to improve every time I get the clubs out of the bag! Love the videos!
handicap 17.3 (=playing handicap 10 on my homecourse) - came down from 23.6 beginning of this year... together with my Pro... working towards 15...
Currently an 8 handicap. Working on being able to shape shots, mainly wanting to hit a little draw on all my clubs. Of course could always be a better putter as well.
I'm a 13.3 HC atm. I'm going to work on my fitness over the winter and try to have a monthly golf lesson. Really make a push this winter to improve and finally break80 and get my cap down to 9 👍⛳🏌️♂️
Ended last season really striking the ball well. Started this season out as a 15.4 handicap with thoughts that this year could be the year to bring it down. Signed up to use the handicap within The Grint. First 5 rounds or so didn't really go so well. All of a sudden, started playing really well. Started putting in some really good scores. As of right now, I've worked my way down to a 13.1. I've set me goal for this year to bring it down 2 shots. But the season isn't over yet. Since I've got that goal, in stretching to bring it down another half shot. I think realistically I can bring it down to a 12.5. That's the new goal for 2020. Fingers crossed....
My son has just started playing golf James he has started to play on a par three golf course and is doing ok thinking of taking him on full course when he starts to get more confident can't wait to he said golf was boring now he has got the bug 🏌️♂️⛳👍
Very appropriate video for me, thank you. I'm a 20 handicap who is trying to consistently score below 90. I've improved my ball striking this season, but it hasn't translated to lower scores as I'm still adjusting to the distance I'm getting.
23 hcp, trying to break 90 (92 last week is my lowest score). At the moment struggling with my rhythm, specially with my irons. Lesson tomorrow will hopefully help 🙃
My current handicap is 37.2. Working on my iron play trying to strike the ball better.
Gone from 10.5 down to 8.5 in the last 3 weeks. Finally got a couple scores in the 70s after being in the 80s for a long time. Hoping to consistently break 80.
Good positive and constructive comments, well done.
Will needs to give a tad more feedback.
I noticed his nice swing was a slower tempo. Didn’t try to smash it like off the tee... that’s what I do. I tense on the tee, try to hard... when I don’t, it is nice and easy.
I'm somewhere between 20-21. I shoot pretty consistent mid 90s and I shot a 91 to end my golf season.
Well done Will.
First year I've played golf seriously, and I'm also on a quest to break 90 by seasons end. My last 3 rounds were 94 94 97. Handicap according to the SwingU app is 31.
I need to learn to read greens because 2-3 putting EVERY(literally) hole is the biggest reason I haven't broke 90 yet.
I tend to get 28 as only play once every other week,(work and pain),suffered a massive dtroke 15 year sgo during a footy match and retired so got the clubs out and tried getting back into it for exercise yet loving it again
Great video! As a returning 'golfer' after 15yrs (previously off 8) I am surprised how difficult it is to strike the ball consistently and with reasonable distances. Let me say it's not like riding a bike! New Mizuno clubs and having needed to buy trolley, bag, clothing etc I'm wondering if I should have invested in a fishing rod 😬🤣. Still love the game and will be working on my swing through to Spring before joining a club 🙂
My first handicap was 24. Lots of fun and heartache getting it down to 13.
Hi, James, I'm an 18 handicap Goal is to be 15 by Jan2021, break 90 and double bogeys consistently
Just down to 23 after being cut 2.8 and getting more consistent off the tee, finding more fairways. Getting a second shot is the key
Been playing almost 5 months and my handicap is a 20.4 I’d like to break 90 really soon! My best and about 3 rounds ago was a 92. But my real goal is a consistent 80
Thinking of getting back into Golf, had a 8 year break from playing regularly.
Was at Low Laithes and got down to 9 handicap.
I play once a week. 20 Handicap and Consistency is my biggest problem. 86 was my low this season and 115 my high and everything in between. I have one course that is narrow and tree lined and I have 4 scores 100 and above there. Drives are all over the place this year and I've never been able to chip from 50 yards in. I don't tin cup it, I don't take risks, I am just soooo inconsistent.
Handicap currently 9.3,
Best 5.8
Current goal to get more consistent and brake 80 more, have gone thru a horror 12 months, one week shot 75 next game shoot 90 but a few lesson and the last 4 games have beaten 80 every time,
Hardest part for me watching is my best clubs are driver and 3wood, it’s my approaching that kills my game and I had lots of wrist troubles as a kid so get tentative on most irons, but am getting better
I am a 61 year old returning golfer having not played much for around 20 years (work etc). Im trying my best, had a couple of lessons but so much has changed especially my body mechanics! James how do you fancy taking on a project/challenge for your channel?
awsome clubs and putter for a high handicapper!
Playing off 32,8, but off irons only. Goal is to get a stable swing, and when I feel secure about my irons, get on to driver.
1 shot of breaking 100 today was fairly gutted but I did hit some nice strikes and putts so all good! Plus I’m a 34 handicap
I've been shooting 100+ since I picked up golf near the start of quarantine. Working hard and watching lots of your videos on that road to break 100; hopefully it'll start paying off and I"ll get there soon!
Love to know where you're at now, 3 years on...
Still to get first handicap. Joined last year a nice 9hole course and score 45-49 usually (with the odd 53ish thrown in) drive normally good. 100yards in is okay. Its the long irons/mid irons are hit and miss
I don’t know my handicap, but it’s high. Just broke 90 for the first time on Sunday. It was a hell of a good feeling once that score was added up. I double and triple checked to be sure.
Foxy V Will would be an outstanding match. Good solid 9 hole grudge match.
Getting off the tee is my main issue too so this was a helpful video. Generally after that my irons and putting are acceptable and I can manage around the course. A lot of the time I resort to using 4 iron off the tee just to try and make a score
I'm currently a 21 handicap, I've been a low as 19 this season. Having moved about a year ago, I haven't really found people of my handicap to play against. Breaking 90 on a consistent basis is one of my current goals. Play a par 71 course.
find guys who play off a lot better then you. You will improve a lot quicker. Most lower handicaps don't mind playing with a high handicapper as we all started there.
Great video. Currently off 26.8 and hoping to try and get close to 20
Still play every hole to 5 , now a 15.8hdc , before lockdown 24 , around the greens cost me a lot of shots , nearly always short with them
17 handicapper trying to get to 12 - I’ve had new clubs and lessons in the past 4 months and totally “lost” my game for 6 weeks - keep at it and keep practicing - James, I’m loving this series with Will, perhaps some practice / range sessions with him and then more course management and rounds - Thanks
Don't lose faith. It took me the better part of 6 months to get back to playing well after my first lesson but once I was back I was better and shot my first under par round before the year was out.
Holmer thanks for that 🙏 Felt like giving up but I’m now getting back to where I should be and hopefully will get down to 12 soon
@@adrianscott6005 It's just a game. Never let it get the best of you. We can't put the time in the pro's do, so our best bet is get a coach, practice as much as we can, even if it's just putting and slow motion practice in the house, and we'll get better far faster than trying to do it on our own. I played for 20 years never breaking 80 before I broke down and got that 1st lesson. I was a fool. Now I'm a 7 trying to get to 5 before the year ends.🏌️♀️
I'm about a 14 (at 62 years old) and for me breaking 90 is all about not having "blow up" holes. I can have a string of pars or bogeys - feeling great, then shank one in the woods or drop one in the water... So it's more about consistency for me.
15 rounds played in 2020. 20.4 handicap. Average score is 94. High is 102. Low 83. I'm averaging 33 putts/round. Would love to get my average down to 90 or better in 2021.
Currently flipping between 18 & 19. Never broke 80 which is my goal. Been struggling with driver/SLICE think I've found a process now best 83, regular 88-95! but enjoying playing !!!
Been playing properly for 2 months. 16 handicap. If only I could hit more fairways could be closer to single figures for sure!
I started playing two years ago around the time your first video came out. I started on a 22 handicap and now down to 14 trying to crack to single figures but due to covid I’ll be waiting another 6 months to improve
I am a 8 handicap and I've been playing for 2 years after not playing for 12 years and my goal is to get below 5 and start playing tournaments with a job and 2 kids its tough to dedicate the time to hey more consistent but I'm trying
Full 18 holes match. Will v Foxy. Would love to watch that as it's relatable to myself as a high handicap golfer.
Up to a 29 handicap
Have broke 100 since returning to golf this year after 5 year break so goal is consistently play in 90s possible break 90
Love seeing you out with higher handicappers. Foxy and Will etc. Great content. Keep developing
A case of “mate” overload today!
I play off 28. I have such inconsistency with my driver, lands me into all sorts of trouble when I need it the most 🤷♂️
Video was great, really useful content so well done - only negative was the sound 😊thank you
17 Hdcp, would be happy shooting high 70's - low 80's consistently.... keys should be for me, stop 3 putting and keep the ball in play
Awesome video yet again, not sure what my handicap is as im a new golfer but believe i can be good lol dont we all, that's the fun of golf.
Just scored 95 around Pine valley on my first 18 hole course. Had a few total scuffed shots as well so hoping to see that sub 90 soon.
26 to 28 cap. just coming off a bad back injury and just loving being able to get back out and play. would definitely like to see Will vs Foxy
Excellent video James. I've watched a few of your videos and found them very informative however I can really relate to this one. I'm a 27 handicap and sometimes feel like a leper when I walk onto the course😄. Its great to see someone of a similar handicap being guided by someone so positive, it makes all the difference👌🏼. Made me think of someone srarting a job apprentiship in the good old days and having a teacher who really knows his trade. Have subscribed to your channel following this and hoping to see similar content in the future. Many Thanks👍🏼
I'm currently at 8.6 but my goal is to get down to 6. Finding it very tough at the moment. Consistency is the issue.
Will’s swing is looking good and with your help his handicap is soon going to drop and drop
My problem is the opposite to Will's - i can get off the tee with booming drives, but iron game is inconsistent. Good video 👍
what a par on the last there from Will! great scramble
The hardest part for me to break 90 is hitting greens from 120 or less yards. I have trouble with accuracy on my short irons. I’ve been playing a 9 hole course recently that’s mostly par 3’s. It’s helping me get used to hitting greens, but I still struggle with left to right dispersion.
Off 18 been back playing for a couple of years now and the goal i set myself is to play off 15 ! best round to date is an 88 so still got some way to go yet.
25-28 on a given day, dream of playing in the upper 80's. Gotta slow down somehow LOL.
Play off 21 with a best of 90. Regularly scoring in the 90’s but always seem to have a card killer or too many doubles etc. Or a great front nine followed by a dyer back. Think once I get into the 80’s I’ll be able to get in there quite often. I wonder whether tracking my points with strokes an after thought is the reason I’m taking too many risks on holes?
Hi James, thank you for everything you do, i’ve been ill with a golf these last few days and your videos have helped me, thank you again and keep doing what you’re doing 🙏
Great video!!! Lots of fun. I am a 19 handicap trying to get a handle on my fairway woods. 18 handicap was always my goal so if I can just improve a little more and hang on to it, I’ll be pretty happy.
Honestly, I am trying to break 100 right now. A few years back, I had a construction accident where I lost my dominant hand's index finger. I recently picked up golf again in COVID, and have found that I am not progressing as quickly as my playing partners. I have noticed the I tend to pull the club in on my follow through as a result of being afraid to hit the ground. Here in California, the ground is hard, and as a result of my accident, there are a lot of nerve endings in my "nub", and they make my hand hurt any time the club makes contact with the ground. I've been considering a few options and would love to hear your thoughts. 1) thicker grips, 2) a right hand glove with padding, or 3) irons that some how cut into the ground better.
14.1hcp working towards single figures got new irons got my lessons hopefully next year I can have a proper charge at it.
hola la verdad muy bueno video lo disfrute bastante necesito el siguiente grabación los dejo les envio besis gracias
19.2, just trying to get more consistent scoring, avoiding the blow up hole.
Officially a 29, but I don't play tournaments so my garmin says I'm hovering in the 19 area. But even with that I still never broke 90. My second to last round I shot 92 with a 9 on the par 4 first - two airshots on that hole before I finally took an unplayable lie from next to a tree... In Stableford scoring I actually score in the 20 gross range, but in stroke play I usually finish the round with one or two triple/quad bogeys that just destroy the stroke play score. For example my last round out I was +1 after 6 holes and then scored 10 on the 7th par 5...
HCap 7.. working on it all! Driver is hard to hit consistently well...have a low spinning low launch driver to keep it in play.After that short game short game short game! and putting too!
You might get more control with a more lofted driver. Recently switch from a 6 degree 50” long driver to a standard 9.5 degree 46” and have been much more consistent off the tee. Still hitting it between 290-330, don’t feel like I’ve lost much in distance.
@@alanl902 its set at 10.5.. Driver is fine.. shot 72 tonight with 1 x double and an eagle!
20 handicap, looking to get more consistency (Started in June 2020) best round 88, worst 104
Always great content with cheer! Currently 18.6 and trying to get to 14 or beyond. Low round of 83 and I haven’t been able to repeat or beat....yet!
I’m playing 31.4 my goal is to enjoy myself when ever I play golf
I’ve just been given my first official handicap of 14.0. I’ve been playing for a while and managing to play to 18. The challenge of 14 seems very daunting!🙈
If regularly breaking 100 already, would that not put him less that a 26hcp? Great video, very relatable.
Watch golf sideckick trying to break 100 or 90 on those little pitch or chip shots your number 1 priority is just to get it on the green you can always make a putt on the green 1 or 2 putt get off to the next
