Kyle - this is a noticeable uptake in production value and shows your personality better than other videos. I know the algorithm favored you more in previous years, but you’ll get back to massive views with this format. Good job!
Bento's maturity and awareness of his game is superb for a 14 yr old. Myself playing Jr golf at that age, I just wanted to hit the ball straight & hit it as far as I could. Bento is shot-shapping & whatnot. It was really fun and educational to watch this young guy play. Thanks, Kyke, for putting this kid on display. And what a display it was!!⛳️
Bento started playing golf here in Porto Alegre at the Belém Novo Golf Club. I had the opportunity to see him take his first steps, a kid with a natural talent. His parents, Isa (I miss the “Palha Italiana”) and Rodrigo, are very nice people. I hope to see him at the PGA soon!!!
I like what he said about relaxing his upper body, similar to what you say about the wrists. The kid is definitely going to be making waves on the PGA tour. Well done Bento!
Majority of kids under 18 with this amount success burn out before making it to the pga. Especially if they have been playing competitively since they were like 5 years old
Kyle, this is entertaining but also educational, its great to see a second taken to see whats a better choice. When I'm out playing along, I take the safe shot with my game ball and then try what are to me the risky shots, I really do better with he ricky shot and it teaches me you to not try them playing with others. Ilove a bump and runs over a high flop.
Bento, you used an alignment aid on hole 4 timestamp 8:23, lol. Great golf and you're so fun to watch. I hope we see a lot more of you with other TH-cam golfers too.
Kyle you are willing to learn and listen to a 14 year old .. that will make you a better golfer for sure, work on your short game and take the big tour by storm. you have such a strong iron/wood game, and you put good. i hope you dedicate hours on the money yardages!
Kyle ...I worked as an uncarded "Pro" at Pitch and Putts in the 1980s...was a "low handicap Amateur" officially, so I had a good short game and my weaknesses were from inconsistent sand play and tee to green play. Your length is great...about 100 yards farther I am, or was I am guessing...I liked your 1 putts on the 1st 2 holes! Anyway, on the 3rd hole, that pitch you chunked into the slope can be fixed by focusing on a forward weight shift (to steal Jack Nicklaus's idea that you should try to have no more than just 1 primary swing thought during a shot). That quick forward weight shift ensures you hit the ball 1st on a slight descending blow. Check out Paul Runyan's Book .."The Short Way to Lower Scoring". I am 65 now, so between age and back and elbow injuries I went back up from 0-4 Hcp to about 14 or so (rarely play now). But like any armchair quarterback my mind still imagines near fault-free play! Don't let a "fluffed chip" or "fat chip" bother you too much...use a heavy sand wedge which is great in GRASS BUNKERS, so fluffed chips will almost totally DISAPPEAR from your game! Keep up the GREAT DRIVING!!!
Kyle, I absolutely LOVED the comment at 6:40 about the yip-type shots. I struggle with the same problem. Please share your approach to solve this, please !!
Played a match against Andrea Lee when she was a kid. She hit 2 of the best bunker shots I’ve seen live or on tv. Elite golfers short games are just that, ELITE!
Love the instructional value and the thought expression. Nice work. Shows development of Artistry. (Short chip shots to prevent stabbing...Look at a blade of grass in front of the ball...let the ball blur and almost become nothing)
i remember how crazy good he was as a younger kid playing against Grant... he's gotten bigger and even BETTER! just crazy stuff ahead for him at the highest levels!
Dude who said “I watch your videos” is the same dude who said that exact same thing when Bob Does Sports did their holiday drinking special. Imagine the people and celebrities that guy sees everyday playing in his backyard
Kyle, you need to go see Dan Grieve to help with your chipping and pitching. Martin B went and it was a great video, he changed pretty much everything Martin was doing.
Hey Kyle. I'm a member CROFTON CC. I had same around green issues. I just let the ball get in the way of my practice swing around the green. That's what helped me a lot.
Kyle! I fixed those yips by taking the practice swings , brushing the grass and then instead of trying to hit the ball, I don't look at the ball and just try to brush the grass directly after the ball. It really worked so well for me.
@Kridian01 easily the best short game coach/content creator on TH-cam. Saved my game and i had same issues Kyle has Chipping yips. Now i get up and down most of the time.
He could have played from the same tees. he's got the length.. Was interesting hearing your thoughts on the short game. Sounds like you've got an issue understanding speed
6:30 in- I feel your anger... heh. I am getting a little better around the greens though, building confidence by staying away from anything remotely approaching a flop shot. Bump and run whenever possible, and that has allowed me to feel at least somewhat comfortable flopping when I absolutely have to (over bunkers, etc).
Damn man. I relate SO SPECIFICALLY to what you’re dealing with with the short game yips. Adds a few strokes to every round and no amount of practice seems to help. It’s just an on-course mental block or something. Absolute wizard around the practice green. Like a 20 handicapper on the course from 10-40 yards. Lmk if you figure out and what does the trick 😅
I struggle on those little nippers as well.I have perfect practice motions then get yippy..If there is a way around it it is finding a feel where you aren't focusing on the ball..Just when I think I have it..I don't But a double interlock gets the hands closer together and working better..Other feels that are starting to work are keeping better posture,timing the hit off the right knee..and keeping the right elbow tucked...try some of those n see if they work.
Kyle should use the town down choke up on the wedge and hit a putt with his wedges on his short game. He can still spin it. He just always uses his hands a lot in chipping which is not necessary
Had the same issues with chipping kyle, but what helped me was to use my big muscles and body/shoulders more. It looks like you get almost a but to handsy. I would suggest getting a lesson as I learned it was more of technique based instead of it's the "yips".
This is amazing content, thank you Kyle!! I really, really wanted to come up with a prediction, before the round starts. My instincts are to give it to Kyle, because of the sheer distance he covers. But the best 14 y/o in the world?? He's gonna have phenomenal fundamentals, his approach game, short game, putting, everything. If this was a "real" match, who would Bookmakers give the edge to? Serious question, because I have no idea what a 14 y/o World Champ is capable of.. anyone have ideas, let me know! Edit: Alright, i'll adjust my comment instead of just deleting it! lol -- clearly this 14 y/o has the edge, statistically. I understand gold is not about sheer power and distance, this is not what wins matches and gets scores down to 75 and 80. It was a pure guess that Kyle would have the edge, but nope!! This kid is clearly the favorite! They're even through 2! Tremendous upload, can't wait til see what Kyle uploads in the New Year!
6:44 Kyle, as someone who has always been successful with driving and iron play, my chipping yips are what plague my rounds. I do exactly what you described… perfect practice swings and fluid motion but put a ball there and I chunk, flub and skull it lol it’s INFURIATING
Kyle - I just got over the yips and I found ( you won't see this anywhere ).... It's because your club face is too open on the backswing and your brain knows that on the downswing. In the backswing, turn your left wrist "under" ( face more closed and make the shaft be "steep"..... good luck just try it
You need to understand how that wedge works, check out Dan Grieves, the low point can be behind the ball if you use the bounce, it's definitely not Infront unless you're Phil Mickelson

Bento commenting and really getting into Kyle's shots show his love for the game and competition. He's going to be amazing on tour to watch.
Amazed you managed to get up and down on the first hole from where you were. And that kid hits the ball so pure.
I love how violent your swing is
I only know one way 💪🏻
Yes Sensei🥋⛳️@kyleberkshire3371
@kyleberkshire3371 and that's why we love you and of course your personality
Bento started playing golf here in Porto Alegre at the Belém Novo Golf Club. I had the opportunity to see him take his first steps, a kid with a natural talent. His parents, Isa (I miss the “Palha Italiana”) and Rodrigo, are very nice people. I hope to see him at the PGA soon!!!
this was a quality production kyle, love to se this from you!
Kyle, this format is great for your personality! keep up the great content!
Super video!! Bento was just chillen! I want to see him play Charlie Woods!!
I like what he said about relaxing his upper body, similar to what you say about the wrists. The kid is definitely going to be making waves on the PGA tour. Well done Bento!
Bento is going to be a problem for a lot of golfers on the PGA
Majority of kids under 18 with this amount success burn out before making it to the pga. Especially if they have been playing competitively since they were like 5 years old
L hater
Glaze is wild
@@dad-ing this kid seems to truly
Love and have passion the game and not into it for The money. He definitely
Gonna cook
Intrusive thoughts that are winning ... what a great line !!!!!! Ohhhhh the psychology of golf ....
Bento is a BEAST! Looking forward to watching him play collegiate or possibly straight into the Pros!
Kyle, this is entertaining but also educational, its great to see a second taken to see whats a better choice. When I'm out playing along, I take the safe shot with my game ball and then try what are to me the risky shots, I really do better with he ricky shot and it teaches me you to not try them playing with others.

the production value increase is inane lol
Bento, you used an alignment aid on hole 4 timestamp 8:23, lol. Great golf and you're so fun to watch. I hope we see a lot more of you with other TH-cam golfers too.

No joke Kyle, that bunker shot was very hard and he just made it look easy. What a talent.
Excellent video Kyle, would love to see more content like this in the future!

When chipping Kyle, we need to use the bounce. GL
Great video and amazing maturity from Bento! His consistency is also amazing!
Kyle, I absolutely LOVED the comment at 6:40 about the yip-type shots. I struggle with the same problem. Please share your approach to solve this, please !!
Played a match against Andrea Lee when she was a kid. She hit 2 of the best bunker shots I’ve seen live or on tv. Elite golfers short games are just that, ELITE!
I like your honesty about your game Kyle. I agree with you, as a 16 hcp, short game is key. 🔑 great content. Thank you 🙏🏽
You should create more match/stroke play content! It was nice seeing you compete!
Bento hit puberty and gained 20% more speed. Fun to watch him play
Love the instructional value and the thought expression. Nice work. Shows development of Artistry.
(Short chip shots to prevent stabbing...Look at a blade of grass in front of the ball...let the ball blur and almost become nothing)
thats a great reference Kyle, its very difficult to get a sportscar to drive like a daily. 👏
i remember how crazy good he was as a younger kid playing against Grant... he's gotten bigger and even BETTER! just crazy stuff ahead for him at the highest levels!
Dude who said “I watch your videos” is the same dude who said that exact same thing when Bob Does Sports did their holiday drinking special. Imagine the people and celebrities that guy sees everyday playing in his backyard
I’ll watch for this young man in one of the up coming annual Porter Cups we have here in Niagara Falls , Good Luck !
Kyle, you need to go see Dan Grieve to help with your chipping and pitching. Martin B went and it was a great video, he changed pretty much everything Martin was doing.
Hey Kyle. I'm a member CROFTON CC. I had same around green issues. I just let the ball get in the way of my practice swing around the green. That's what helped me a lot.
We the people want u and Bryson on the break 50
Been fan of bento since seen his match with grant. What a great kid. Hopefully he will become no. 1 golfer very soon.
2 clutch players going at it. You guys should scramble up against the Bryan brothers!
That kid is a machine doesnt miss a shot. Same perfect swing everytime.
Kyle! I fixed those yips by taking the practice swings , brushing the grass and then instead of trying to hit the ball, I don't look at the ball and just try to brush the grass directly after the ball. It really worked so well for me.
Holy crap this kid is insane!!. Great content Kyle. Also stop being so dam hard on yourself bro!. You are an absolute weapon
Very impressive golf and very educational. Great job!!
So glad you found him Kyle! I've always wondered how he has been doing since being on Grant's channel.
Kyle mate go see dan grieve.
Absolute master short game coach.
I have zero doubts he can help you and woukd also make an exception video
I learned a ton of short game tips from Dan. Highly recommended.
@Kridian01 easily the best short game coach/content creator on TH-cam.
Saved my game and i had same issues Kyle has Chipping yips. Now i get up and down most of the time.
Oh that Faldo grass tip is gold . Going to steal that one .
Kyle: "I could not have hit it in a worse spots."
Me: "hold my beer!"
Bento is very impressive...nice match.
Good luck to Bento and thanks for the video.
Bento seems like a good kid and humble. Hope to see him make a highly successful career out of golf
What is the bounce on your wedge, maybe try a higher bounce wedge so it doesn’t dig on ya, just a suggestion
He could have played from the same tees. he's got the length..
Was interesting hearing your thoughts on the short game. Sounds like you've got an issue understanding speed
Try to hit infront of the ball, it really worked when I was having that same exact problem
Perfect teacher!
6:40 I feel you Kyle, it sucks so much that the practice swings are perfect and then you just chunk the ball
I love that this kid hits a 52 out of the trap. I’m pretty certain he hits a 60 for short shots, a 56 for medium ones and a 52 for longer ones
I'm from Brazil, I really liked the video, Bento is playing very well, hitting hard doesn't mean you're going to win the game, right Kyle Berkshire
That kids swing is damn near perfection. Looks like a mini tiger
Love the content Kyle keep it coming! You inspired me to pick up long drive! We should play sometime
Kyle, great video! Maybe you could do an upcoming video with short game master Dan Grieve... he'd help you with your short game yips.
Great video! Been following Bento on Instagram for many years already, and he seems very humble and dedicated. Hoping he'll make it big 👏🙂
OH YEAH, Bento goin be good!
6:30 in- I feel your anger... heh. I am getting a little better around the greens though, building confidence by staying away from anything remotely approaching a flop shot. Bump and run whenever possible, and that has allowed me to feel at least somewhat comfortable flopping when I absolutely have to (over bunkers, etc).
This was an unbelievable watch 😮
Kyle try just think about the finish position of your club head when pitching. Should be waist high. That simple “swing thought” has helped me.
Damn man. I relate SO SPECIFICALLY to what you’re dealing with with the short game yips. Adds a few strokes to every round and no amount of practice seems to help. It’s just an on-course mental block or something. Absolute wizard around the practice green. Like a 20 handicapper on the course from 10-40 yards. Lmk if you figure out and what does the trick 😅
Kyle, a suggestion on your trouble pitch shots. Think of it like a putt and don’t let your left wrist break.
Great video Kyle. Have you considered going to Dan Grieve for a short game lesson, you’d be unstoppable after 😂
Goddam Bento is a sniper, and a clearly humble dude
Great video by the way.
If Bento gets his putting down he is going to be a huge problem on the PGA. One of the best swings I've seen!
Great video, thank you for posting.
That bunker shoot on 5th hole.. is his future
Hi Kyle. Loved the video. This guy could have a future in pro golf. no doubt about it! On a side note; is your putter longer than 34? Looks like it is
The 60° wedge is full of surprises.
I struggle on those little nippers as well.I have perfect practice motions then get yippy..If there is a way around it it is finding a feel where you aren't focusing on the ball..Just when I think I have it..I don't But a double interlock gets the hands closer together and working better..Other feels that are starting to work are keeping better posture,timing the hit off the right knee..and keeping the right elbow tucked...try some of those n see if they work.

The kid’s swing is special.
that 52 deg bunker shot was nasty
Kid has a good head on those shoulders, hope he gets taller and stronger as he grows.
Love your brows brotha 😻🥸
Entertaining video and that kid is going to win something big in less than a decade
This is amazing content, thank you Kyle!! I really, really wanted to come up with a prediction, before the round starts. My instincts are to give it to Kyle, because of the sheer distance he covers.

so so awesome!!!
Link up with Dan Grieve Kyle! Would be an awesome collab!
6:44 Kyle, as someone who has always been successful with driving and iron play, my chipping yips are what plague my rounds. I do exactly what you described… perfect practice swings and fluid motion but put a ball there and I chunk, flub and skull it lol it’s INFURIATING
Holy not afraid to cuss I love it!
Such a mature kid, massive future.
Insane bunker shot
16:55 you definitely heard what he says you’re just the most awkward dude out there u didn’t know what to say 😂
that was a fun video ,,, thank you
Great video
Kyle - I just got over the yips and I found ( you won't see this anywhere ).... It's because your club face is too open on the backswing and your brain knows that on the downswing. In the backswing, turn your left wrist "under" ( face more closed and make the shaft be "steep"..... good luck just try it
DAMN...........AMAZING
Yall should play the same tees
definitely like when you play with another good player.
What’s Bento’s Hat?? Need the link
kyle that flighted 6 iron. you set up to the right. and with water left it was always gonna go straight right.
You need to understand how that wedge works, check out Dan Grieves, the low point can be behind the ball if you use the bounce, it's definitely not Infront unless you're Phil Mickelson
Try and hit the front of the ball, with all weight forward on short shots. I have not missed since I started doing this.
Bento is a very good players Especially his long games Irons,wedges,bunkers but not a great putter yet😅.
