ABOUT ME:
I’m Liam Harrison, Bolton born and bred. I’m a lover of Golf, life and laughter.
Started Golf 12 years ago after packing in football when i was 28 due to a back injury.
I started the TH-cam channel as a laugh and a Wim, to make me practice but that went out the window as i started vlogging, loving being on camera but more so the interaction with my #golfmates.
In 14 months i have seen the channel evolve and become the only real golf community on TH-cam which i am extremly proud of.
I would like to thank all the #golfmates that have been with us and supported us and the channel from the start. Also not forgetting our new #golfmates that may have only just come across the channel.

I play golf with Rob most weekends. I can confirm his mates are knobheads. 🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂
😅
goochywill 🤣🤣🤣
Liam called them Arseholes! 😂
He would most probably break 100 with just a 7 iron, putter.
Need omp back giving him a lesson,who more qualified than the legend GO OMP!!
I cant give Rob any advice as I have only been playing 3 months myself so have no idea what I'm talking about. But I think you for sure should make more video's like this. I really enjoy the funny one's but this I found compelling viewing and really looking forward to seeing what changes Rob makes to break 100 which I'm sure he will do.
Another great video Liam. Cheers Rob for having the balls to get up in front of all the golfmates and show us your game. Small tweaks lead to big gains mate. I’ll play a round with you anytime.
Thanks for the comment Frank
A part from that doing great job hope OMP getting better I think OMP his moe Norman 😛😋
Great video. Well done Rob for showing us your faults. I'm.going to check out the video to see if you break 100 then have a look.at Dave's chipping & putting videos
He lost his balls, but luckily found one of them later.
Hey Rob, I see that I'm a year late to the party. Mad respect for you putting yourself out to the world like that. Liam told you true on immediate things to do to vastly improve your game. As it's a year on now, I hope you are now working on breaking 80! Cheers.
He’s holding all his clubs almost at the bottom of the grips? Even Drivers! Why? And putter! Every club. Also seems to have a tendency to lift his head quickly through the stroke, which might lead him into topping the ball etc..
I saw that too
Hes going to loose lots of yards choking down on his club's he does it on them all.
I’m sure he’d hit it another 20-30 yards if he held the grip further up. I also imagine he’s more likely to pull it left all the time as he’ll lose control of the follow through.
FIRST THING I SAW MYSELF 20 YARDS PER CLUB LOST OVER THE SHORT GRIP
Reason I hold the bottom of the grip with my clubs is that I was poorly fitted with stock shafts which are a bit long, pair this with me being 5'6'' means I was always fatting the ball. With regards to the putter, this is similar, I feel I have more control with the putter when I grip like that.
Thanks for the comment Gary.
I play also of 23 24 handicap so many similarities, duff shots and fat shots keep at it m8 I will no doubt pick up some good points here also cheers
1st comment I have ever left on any utube video and I watch a lot of them !
What a great video Liam and hats off to Rob for braving the camera!
I really look forward to seeing Rob play with you, OMP etc. I recon under a 100 in 1round with your guidance!
Whilst commenting, can I just say, moreJosh also please, as what a great lad he is also!
Just wondering how he’s off 24 without breaking 100 🤷🏻♂️his swings decent considering tho
Probably because, as Liam mentioned, he was put on an 18 hcp by the club when he started and has gradually crept up to 24 😊
@@vont8332 just said my exact words 👍
Driver looked good. Rule I use chipping and its bob on 7 iron hit it 25% of the way pw hit 50% of the way LW hit 75% of the way ( normal dry conditions )👍I'm 7 iron all day chipping unless I've got to go over something. I think he'll break 100 no problems tbh you caddie for him Liam think he could break 90 with a bit of work no problems 👍⛳🏌️♂️
Cheers sjmgolf, thanks for the comment.
Firstly, fair play pal, not easy to go on camera and have your game analysed.
To break 100 you just need to play consistently for 18 holes.
High handicappers always suffer at the beginning and end of the round.
I’d recommend a decent warm up to get that swing loose and making sure you eat around the course to keep energy up at the finish.
I get the feeling his game has a lot of scar tissue, and he carries this around with him.
“Thats a typical Par 3, for me - shoots a 6
Aims left on all tee shots, cause he slices, but doesn’t slice the ball.
Plays 48deg for every chip shot, I’d guess he has written off his other clubs as they aren’t comfortable.
Plays a 6iron every fairway shot, again feels comfortable with it and not comfortable with the correct club.
More disappointed with a high straight drive than hitting three tee shots OB.
etc
I’d say the biggest take away is to practise practise practise just to increase your confidence on the course. I’d say you are currently resigned to score high, almost waiting for the blow up hole.
Celebrate your good shots, don’t dwell on the bad.
Also, have a clear idea of what is a good score on a hole. Much easier on 400yd par 4s when you know it’s either a Par 5 or 6
Liam How was he given an initial handicap of 18 if he hasn’t broken 100 ?
Think it's when you put your cards in for your initial handicap you don't get anything worse than a double bogey for example if you get a 9 on a par 4 it counts for a 6
I handed in 3 cards 98, 103,104 and was given 19, that was 3 years ago. Struggling to break 90 atm best was 91, but like Rob course management and short game were terrible, have improved them a lot since but handicap has gone up to 22 over the 3 years. Most rounds in the mid to low 90s but like Rob there’s usually a snowman ⛄️ on every card bringing up the total. Work out the bad shot and eliminate it buddy.
@@seantobin515 I think most of us are in the same boat buddy. The OMP traffic light system is great and also knowing how long you hit each club. #golfmates #stampyourwedges
Iv never broke 100 and my handicap is 11 @golfvlogsuk
Rob can break 100 easily he's got the game, just needs a better idea of how far he can actually hit, like you said irons go multiple distances, can't all be Phil Mickelson with a wedge either stick to the bump and run never fails... Good luck pal can't wait to see what you score next round 👍
I rarely break 100. But that's because I lose too many balls. Once lost 18 balls in one round and shot 100 🤣😂
Rob needs to course manage better. Driver every shot is only worthwhile when you are consistent with the club and sometimes like you said a wedge for a chip and run isn't playing the percentages. It's easy for me to say that but you can always see things your own way.
Once he knows his correct yardage per club and manages the course a little smarter he will easily consistently break 100.
Why is he lifting his clubs away from the body before he starts his swing
John Walter Peter Finch swing, all day long.
its designed to help you hit down on the ball, if you struggle from the thins its a good drill. but plenty good players do it like Peter Finch
Doesn’t seem to bother his ball striking much. Obviously works for him.
I think leave this for now and work on he's distance 1st and putting
I like this format Liam.
This will go against the majority but I would recommend changing the 48 for a 60 and watching Phil Mickelsons 'chipping 101' youtube video. Weight forward, hands forward, ball position. Easy once mastered.
18 up to 24 is tough. As club golfers know, one can only go up 0.1 if you miss your buffer so unless he has had a handicap review, Rob has played at least 55 supplementary / Competition rounds where he has missed buffer.
Rob, your swing is all hands. That’s why you’re inconsistent. You need to turn your shoulders more and have your hands higher and further away from your head at the top of your swing. Currently you’re too steep - that’s why you fat and cut the ball. Also, your pitching at 10 mins, watch your head movement- that’s why you duffed/thinned it. Loads to be positive about though. Just needs some work - get a lesson and work on your takeaway.
To not break 100 you just have to not duff (proper duff) the ball. This is the problem 100+ shooters face....not duffing the ball 3,4,5 times on the bounce just trying to get TO the fairway.
You are allowed to putt whilst holding the flag as long as you are not leaning on it, it is removed from the hole and the balls doesn't hit it.
Player May Make Stroke While Holding Flagstick
Rule 13.2b(1) allows a player to make a one-handed stroke while holding the flagstick with the other hand. However, the player may not use the flagstick to steady himself or herself while making a stroke (Rule 4.3a).
For example, a player may:
Remove the flagstick from the hole with one hand before putting and continue to hold it while making a one-handed stroke with the other hand.
Give the driver a rest, use rescues or 3 wood.....take more club with irons & use 7-9 for chip and run.....GREAT video 👍⛳️😃
I would deff get on a monitor and hit 10 shots with each to get an average and know your distances. From what I seen I'd guess your iron distance as follows:
PW = 110
9 =120
8= 130
7 = 140
6= 150
5= 160
4 = 170
Write these down and laminate it and keep it in your bag or tie beside clubs. Great tool to use.
This year is my first year breaking 100....left my driver in the bag and use OMP's traffic light system.👍
Congrats pal, I need to have another look at it. 👍
Best round 101, starting handicap of 18, thats at best 23pts off 18(though start), even off 24, 101 only 29pt. Playing the right club will soon break 100, everything seemed to be 6 iron and that 48(pw), just play the percentage shots. Driving seems OK, need a bit of time on pratice green
Never broke 100, why not 28 Handicap?
Dodgy golf mates lol
After been given the 18 handicap by the club, he'll only get 2 shots back a year. 3 years later 24
@@derekmcatamney3327 isnt that unfair and a bit demoralising for a new player.
Golf handicap calculations normally deduct anything over double bogey from score.
@@phughes4224 well what a cartel that is. I'm so glad I've never got an official handicap. I would have given golf up years ago. Absolutely no incentive to get one and the reason golf clubs are struggling. Everything so weighted against the newbies.
If hes never broken 100 why is his handicap as low as 24 , he should put 3 cards in to get a realistic handicap ,you should be able to play to your handicap 23% of the time , only use a wedge if you have something to go over , if you have Bunkers both sides of the green lay up just short of the green and it takes them out of play , i always play an average of 5 an hole , our 1st hole is a par 3 , so can be 1 or 2 under my average after 1st , 2nd is a par 5 , so have 1 or 2 shots to play with , he might benefit from using an app called Swing U , Golf GPS score card and stats keeper also you are able to measure how far you hit you clubs on the course and then it works out an average and recommends the club to use , you can click on hazards for measurement to it and the basic version is free
I'm using Golfshot at the minute, that is similar to swing U. I definitely need to use the app a lot more to gauge distances.
Thanks for the comment Alan.
To be honest buddy, just using a 7 iron chip n run would probably be enough to knock 5-8 shots off the round. Nice vid Liam. 👍
Liam these are great videos, even looking at rob there it’s making me realize about things I should work on, lately I’ve taken OMPs tips for the traffic light system into play and really helping. Also like rob I used to always use my 56 degree around greens, now I’m using a 7 iron and it’s much better. Great videos and I look forward to seeing more. Best of luck rob breaking 100, you can definitely do it mate.
Question: - Can I hold the flag stick with one hand and putt with the other?
Answer: Yes.
The rules state that you can do this providing that the flag stick has been removed from the hole (Decision of the Rules of Golf 17-1/5)
If the ball were to strike the flag stick you would breach rule 17-3a and incur a 2 shot penalty for strokeplay or loss of hole matchplay.
You must ensure that the flagstick is not touching the ground whilst you are putting.
Bit of course management should break 100 easy
Decision 17-1/5 covers it. As long as the flagstick is removed from the hole, you aren't leaning on it, and the ball doesn't hit it, you're in the clear. NO PENALTY.
He keeps lifting his club head up before he starts his back swing which I definitely think is harming his ball striking,I noticed he hit a few fat shots and I think that is the main reason,need to start the club head on the correct path, I think I saw him lean back on a chip aswell but il look forward to seeing him play again and he will break 100 no probs when he leaves that 48 at home lol😉
In my opinion Rob could break 100 using around 5 clubs only.
One for hitting off the tee that could be used for 2nd shots on par 5's and long par 4's, such as a 3/5 wood or hybrid.
One for advancing it down the fairway at least 150 to 160 yards, also on tight tee shots, maybe a 6 iron
A club for 130 yards and shorter, also for chipping/pitch and runs, possibly an 8 or 9 iron
A sand iron/56 degree wedge for out of bunkers and pitching over trouble
A putter
This also means less decisions have to be made, as you have less clubs it's usually obvious which club can be used for each shot. I personally love to take 5 clubs out a few times a year, it's really enjoyable.
He's choking down on the club's
Looks like he's hitting it fat a lot
Or his mates are arseholes.........two shot penalty there mate. You broke the news well though xx Lovely vid.
I think if he feel like his backswing is 80% he’d knock 5 shots off immediately
that is a cracking video, iv only been playing for 2 months, and even i can see were he should and shouldn't have used certain clubs, i have just broke 100 twice now, loved the putting drill, I'm a 25 hcapper, hopefully one day ill get a game with more golf mates and well done rob for doing this vid as well, you will break 100 in no time
At 7:08 we’ve only just met the man and your calling us a$$holes ... Rob sorry for being an a$$hole but next time your out use Liam’s butt cheeks to hold the flag. You’ll get no penalty from the golfmates. My advice enjoy the game ... yep work from the hole to the tee in your practice. Never play a found ball donate it to the junior program. You don’t want someone else’s bad luck! (Joking)👍
This is what puts new golfers joining a club. Never broken 100 but given a handicap of 18
When the golf season comes back and the nights are light and bright it`s time for the late night practice sessions working on short game.Take your tee shot and your approach shots as per,But drop a ball or two on edge of the fairway from 50/40/30/20/10 yards in picking one of those numbers on each hole you will get a realistic feel of what shots works for you...If you have a chipping green at your club spend more time learning what you can do with each club sod the full swing just whacking balls pracitce short game soon you will be a wizard like liam and shooting lower each week ...best of luck ..you got this!!!
Decision 17-1/5 covers it. As long as the flagstick is removed from the hole, you aren't leaning on it, and the ball doesn't hit it, you're in the clear.
Putting pace is an obvious one
Grips down the club quite far
But the biggest thing that needs looking at is the club takeaway. At address you have the club behind the ball where it belongs and then before you start the back swing you float the club head on the outside of ball. From that point onwards your body is making up for the swing being offline. Which is why you probably more often than not slice most of your clubs but get the occasional hook. No consistent swing path. Just my observation......and yeah...48 degree.....BIN. If you can't hit it don't use it
I have struggle with blow ups and with club selections. Which iron is his favorite ( most reliable ) ? My 7i seams to be my fall back club. 300 yards? ( 2 seven irons )
Great video. We can all see what Rob needs to do. Yardages need to be checked and if he has a p wedge why a 48 as well. Especially as he is struggling, just like I do with wedges and my short game.
I bet a few weeks later we will see a much improved Rob if he takes on board some of the comments.
I have read 50 plus of them and agree with many.
Yardages
Traffic Lights
Lag Putting
Watch him improve
Life is life......especially in golf
I broke 100 for the 1st time with a 93 this weekend, I did it by leaving the wedges in the bag other than PW and SW also took my time and didn't try and be a hero. I normally hit 108 and only been playing a year and a bit
Good work mate!
Congrats Johnathon
Good job. Very Encouraging!!!
Short game short game short game. Especially putting. Then a bit of good course management, break 100 every round
Like this style of video Liam. Keep at it Rob.
Hi liam great video rob can easy break 100 . What I've seen he's swinging to fast and over swinging 3/4 swinging for now would help. Agree needs to watch Pat's traffic light video and think about course management more. Chipping needs to put the ball top back of is stance hands slightly forward and correct use a 9 or 8 iron when no objects in the way. Practice range and find is distance to ease club would really help. Hope you don't mind the comments just trying to help good luck rob I'm sure you will do it
The best money I ever spent for golf lessons had nothing to do with my swing, but rather was on course management
Enjoyed the video gentlemen.
Cheers
Really good vlog.. i think the 1st thing to say.. rob has a good game a can break 100 with no problem.. i would say sometimes don't use driver maybe a 5 wood or 3 wood off keep it on a fairway.. 7/8 for chipping .. form 100 yards in.. a few lesson with dave the pro to learn he's distance off clubs...good luck rob go smash it...
I feel Rob did pretty well playing in front of the camera and having someone there judging his swing. It would be enjoyable to play a round a golf with him.
So, a few years ago, I was able to help someone drop 10 strokes on their handicap and win the club championship in the same year. Typically, the fastest way to lower handicaps is improving the short game. A pro should look at how Rob is gripping the club. Hands in correct position? Why is he choking so far down the club? Are the clubs correct for him? Further, Rob's swing is a bit steep and hits the ball a bit heavy. He should ensure that he is not lunging as this is a sign of hitting behind the ball. Try to reduce the body movements on those short swings. Rob's golf swing just needs refinements. Using the bump and run shot around the green is OK but for me, it's based on conditions (fast, hard, slow, soft, lot of green to pin or less green to pin, etc). Fun video. Most important advice that I can give HAVE FUN!
"Typically, the fastest way to lower handicaps is improving the short game." - Amen to that.
No driver needed to break 100. My 16 year old son started playing golf this summer. 5 weeks after he hit his first balls, he shot a 96 on our par 70 course, only using irons and a hybrid. 7 weeks after he started playing golf he shot a 85 on the same course, with still only irons. Now, after 2 and a half month, he likes to play with the driver. Hits it great sometimes with about 220m carry, but most of the time it is all over the place. He did not break 100 any more, since he uses the driver. ;-)
I use the same putting grip style and handle as he does and one thing you can't do holding the club that way (or any putting grip style for that matter) is to let your wrists break down and use your hands/arms to control pace, the moment you do that the clubhead opens and shuts as you flip the head with your hands.... There's no way you can get a flush strike on the putt doing that, you'll hit thin putts from the bottom of the putter and some you may even catch the ground... hence you have no chance of predicting how fast the ball will go. He has to use his shoulders and rock them back feeling the hands being very quiet with grip pressure light enough you can feel what the clubhead is doing but not so light that the wrists break down. A good feel for me is feel the trail shoulder going up and lead shoulder going down and keeping that triangle made from both shoulders and the hands in tact and try to feel the pendulum of the putter head and the weight of the head starts the downswing..... it's a putting stroke not a hit, a gradual acceleration of the putter head.
Ah. I agree with this 100%. I think you could drop the strokes you need to break 100 just with putting. I personally dont feel like I am a good enough golfer to give golfing advice, but I am a therapist and do feel I can give body mechanic advice. If this is the putter grip you like to use and are going to keep it then a good way to stabilize your arms and maintain the triangle pendulum mentioned in the first comment is to gently pull your shoulders back once you have your stance. You want the feeling of squeezing your shoulder blades together but not to an extreme, just a slight retraction of the shoulders about 1/2 the distance possible within the range of motion back. This stabilizes your shoulder blades makes it virtually impossible to swing your arms free and independent of your body. Then if you stabilize your wrists so you dont flip the putter head I think it will make your contact and line much more consistent. Practice that with the tip Liam gave you for pace and once you get used to maintaining that triangle and creating the swing with your body and shoulders you will be making more puts and dropping your score. Good luck and good on you for being willing to do this video with Liam. Loved it. Cant wait to see you meet your goal.
@@fz6rider04 Thanks for the feedback
Thank you
Stealing from a certain Playa in the South Pacific... find the shots you are comfortable with and build your game around those. The goal of your tee shot should be to have a playable second shot, nothing more. If that's driver, hybrid, iron, even a wedge, do whatever it takes to take penalties out of play off the tee. From there, get it close to or on the green however possible. If that means an extra shot to play distances you are comfortable with, fine. And most importantly, short game short game short game. Practice chipping and putting the majority of the time. The technique you use is your choice, but whatever it is commit to it and practice it. It will save you countless strokes and if you have a day that your game outside 100 yards is working, you're golden for a low score because a good short game travels anywhere. I'm a 12 handicap and if it wasn't for my short game I'd be a 20+ easily.
He’d be a perfect candidate for Dave’s tip about hybrids around the green too
Ahh, the old Texas wedge!! Gets the ball moving forward quickly.
I got given an 18 handicap 16 months ago when i started playing. I put 3 cards in 103, 105 and 92. It came back with a 18 handicap, is this right? Great vlog- hope he breaks 100.
Lifting his irons just before he hits surely isn't helping
I noticed that. His club head moves all over the place.
He has a very long backswing, too long, he is loosing control of the club. But ... I know shite! however that slice didn't really materialise and given that he's a member there is no one helping him? he really could do with a couple of rounds with OMP and you to just give him the confidence to play. I agree totally he can smash 100
I’m a 8 handicap I use 52* wedge from 110 and in never anything else for me it’s about picking one club for chipping and sticking with it learning different techniques with that club , but for a 20+ handicap golfer loft round the greens is not your friend bump and run all day long , I also thought his putting was ok one 3 putt in 4 holes 🤷🏻♂️ sort his stance out and loosen his grip to stop the fat shots he will be breaking 90 , great vid
"20+ handicap golfer loft round the greens is not your friend bump and run all day long"
I totally agree, i often beat my mate by a few shots just because he insists on using his 64-deg wedge whenever he's inside XX yards, bump and run with a 7 is my choice 90% of the time, and i hit 7/10 which is much better than he's 3/10 with the wedge.
He must have put 3 cards in for his handicap.Every card over 100 and hes given an 18 handicap seems strange....But he will break 100 with some solid advice cheers mate....
Rob has a very good swing. I think he can easily break 100 with what I've seen.
Defo putting drill, learn bump & run with 6i to PW.
Good luck Rob
Thanks Alan
Rob could use the 4 or 3 iron as his "driver" and loose that flop wedge. Use a 7 or 8 for bump and runs. Rob certainly has skills which could have him breaking 90 in the not to distant future. Practice in knowing how far each club Really flies for him would be great.
Rob, pace out your putts and know your distance. It brought my long and short dispersion down dramatically. Rob, fair play to you, brave to do this vid. You'll soon will be a bandit off 24, you can be so much better with more practice and learning how to play. Well done.
"A bit like the Dick: fat". Liam, you're hilarious. It looks like Rob can break 100 right now. Maybe just a little practice on the short game.
Great video Liam. Would be interested to see others of a similar vein. Break 90 , 80 etc.
Rob is a good lad and on the verge of a breakthrough. Great to see all the golfmates are helping him to get there 👍
Definitely sort out short game. Agree about the 48. Didn't do him any favours. Needs to experiment with other clubs as you have suggested. I'm not good at hitting greens in regulation but getting up and down or at least a chip and a couple of puts has got me down to 12. Agree he can easily break 100.
more of these vids please Liam, spot on mate
You are overextending your swing with both driver and irons, go 3 quarter swing then start your down swing, better to be 220yrds straight or just off the fairway than 260yrds in the rough, you should have more weight on your back foot with the driver, spread your legs to give you a better stance and more balance you seemed unsteady in the video on the first driver shot following through and hit it towards trouble, the two you hit well you had better balance, a wider stance will help you hit up on the ball and give you a better flight, are you hitting along the top edge of the driver?
With your wedge do you have your weight on your front foot? Make sure you do. As liam said sometimes it's better to run a ball up to the green than wedge one on, take your time access you lie and pin location, make a decision and believe in it don't think "oh I'm going to duff it" the bumb and run will take a bit of getting used to but you WILL get better at it and you WILL be closer to the pin, practice different swing lengths with different clubs to bulid mussle memory and visual memory rember how the ball reacts and how far the ball travels
Spend 10 mins putting at a range of 3-5 foot you will get a feel for the greens and you will make more putts get used to the sound of the ball dropping in to the hole this will give you confidence out on the course.
If you do have a bad hole don't let it get you down, just say OK I'm allowed that and I have plenty of time to go.
Chipping i would use the peter finch chipping videos improved my game massively. Still not good but it simplifies the hard bit. Shoulder to shoulder mentality he uses
no need for woods...5 iron, 7 iron 9 thru to sw. And putter. should be able to break 100 using them...
and get around the practice green for 10/20 mins a day
"I normally hit driver and I normally end up in the trees on the right", that says it all. Use your head, course management and hit safer shots.
He has a fairly solid backswing but passes his hands at irregular speeds causing open or closed face. Follow through towards target. Good vlog. Keep him thinking correctly.
Best video for ages.
I have also never broke 100 can take some from this video to maybe help.
Fair play to rob for getting out there and letting his shots be assessed cant be easy.
Should do more of these liam top man .
needs to go in and see a PGA Pro about his set up, defiantly a few grip issues holding it too far dawn but apart from that good swing and commitment. he should easily be 16-18 handicap with a few right choices. cannot wait for the next vid Rob,.
Great video Liam!
My points on Robs game.. IM NO EXPERT THOUGH!
His down swing looks very quick, if he slowed that down and concentrated on getting a good strike I think his flight will be much more controlled.
Couldn’t agree more with Liam when Rob hit that ball out of bounds. He’d hit two good previous drives and then decided to hit an iron which brought all the danger into play.
When hitting your driver, consider where you tee the ball up. If possible tee the ball on the right hand side to allow extra room for the sliced.
When playing the bump and run, understand how far the ball will run after it has pitched. Once you’ve understood that picture the spot where you want to pitch the ball then play your shot. Always commit to the stroke (the first chip on the par 3 the swing tempo was completely different to other chips)
Putting stroke also looked a little jerky, practice your stroke over and over. To gain extra distance try not to hit the ball harder just make the backstroke longer.
All in all I think it’ll be very easy to break 100! Keep at it Rob.
Thanks for the feedback Simon.
Definitely some good course management stuff like Liam said but go and see a pro and work on ball striking. It’s likely one thing you’re doing within the swing that’s causing the fat/pull/push shots and it’ll be the best money you’ve ever spent.
I too suffer with the putting just like Rob. Could do with more course management vids like this, great one Liam!
Your a great golfer when I practise for the afternoon I do 45-60 mins of chipping then 45-60 mins of putting also if that sounds boring get some earphones and listen to music( that’s what I do but not every one likes it ) and keep practising consistently
Great video. Someone once told me that 97% of golfers never break a hundred. So I think this type of vlog should statistically appeal to a lot of people. My suggestion for Rob, shorten your back swing, you'll have a lot more control of the clubs path.
"Someone once told me that 97% of golfers never break a hundred" - Average handicap is 15 so how is that possible?
@@Jeddyboi123 Depends who you consider a "golfer." If it's someone who plays enough or belongs to a club so he knows his handicap, then that person is probably already in the top 10% of all people who play golf.
Most people who play golf don't know what their handicap is. So to say "average handicap is 15" isn't quite fair because it's the data set is biased toward better golfers.
Soon as it started I expected to say he should put his driver away, but to be fair he hit it well. Struck irons well also for handicap. Definitely practice from 100 yards and in and putting.
ahh this is brilliant. i see alot of similarities in my own game(i usually hit 100-120). the swing is there, gotta be more confident in your shot and what your doing cause you can strike the ball rob. i think the first tee shot was just down to it being on camera. the tee shot that went high i think was because the ball was a tad too high on the tee and you got under it, try using the coloured tees that only go so far in, pink or orange is usually good for a driver, ive noticed a massive improvement since switching from a traditional style tee to the plastic pink ones, that way i know the ball is sat the same for every tee shot. and just try and loosen up and not hit the ball too hard, let the club do all the work.
defo get rid of the wedge, i only just started using a wedge myself practicing on a range, i honestly thought i could do what i want with it, but when i played with it on a course for the first time, it did everything but, was taking 2/3 shots to get on the green every time, i soon learned that hitting a wedge on grass is completely different to a matt..so i went omp style 7 or 8 iron and started bumping it on the green, it will take some practise, but aslong as there isnt and obstacle, omp it every time ;)
and i think this is where the biggest thing is, ive realised this recently(my short game and putting is shocking), rob said it was his short game that let him down, ask your self, how much time do you spend on a chipping/putting green in comparison to the driving range. in the past 2 months i must of hit 600/800 balls on the range, and not a single one on the putting green right next to it, and then i wonder why i usually 3 putt sometimes even 4 if the greens arent great. so it might be worth only taking shorter irons and a putter down to a range, i tend to hit 5 or 10 with the driver then leave it now and just practise my short game because honestly i think were very similar, we can both play, we just need to find the mistakes in our game and remove them, but its sometimes hard to work out what your doing wrong, especially if your like me and arent sure what you should be doing in the first placce haha
the putting drills in the video look great, im defo going to give them a go.
sorry my comment is so long, im no expert or anything, far from it, i do think we play similarly and that weve both easily got it in us to beat that 100 mark. looking forward to seeing you do it :D

I currently have a hcap of 33 and hit a ball like hcap of 10 since I have been in lockdown in Melbourne Australia I have watch your videos and Rick sheilds video which have help me with a new swing , hand grip club practicing in the back yard I feel once we are out of lock down I will be able to play around and break 100 as well cheers Liam
I would tell Rob to shorten his swing, and get more width in his swing.
I loved the video buddy. I'm not the greatest golfer in the world but if I could say a few things to rob then I'd say this. Every green approach shot I'd play for centre of the green. As a high handicapper it dont make sense trying to get to the flag every time. Especially if there is danger between u and the flag. Also get to the range and really work on knowing the distance u hit with each club. Make a note of it if need be. I defo think u will break 100 and defo think u will break 90 to. Good luck bud
It’s a two shot penalty if the flag touches the ground I think 🤔
If it's in the air it's fine. You just cant use it to rest on or stabilise yourself when putting, I believe
As a high handicapper the inconsistency kills you. Then the frustration comes and you swing harder or the other side is you don’t commit! I think the 7 iron round the greens is the key. Get the ball on the ground and running as much as you can. That will get Rob below 100 straight away!
I think some more videos like this one would be a great help for all us Golfmates who are yet to break 100.
Ditch the driver, ditch the wedges, swing easier, check alignment,and practice the arse off your 7iron for chipping ,and practice putting.
Enjoyed that Liam, great watch, keep them coming for me good stuff.
Thank you
He needs to take more club. Approaches at first few holes were short. Swings decent though. Should break 100 easy days
Good video
Thanks Golfmate
I just broke 90 to get to 18 hcp did it by using 7/8 irons chip and run and making every hole a three shoter big man will soon be 18 hcp with your help Liam
He thinks he has to hit everything 300 yards,causes tension , throws timing tempo .needs to think SMOOTH or FLOW.. Watch OMP, you score from the short grass not the woods or ponds. same with Irons have him take one more longer and be smooth/relaxed. I was stuck in the 100's for 2 years till I figured this out Relax an Soft hands..
No penalty for holding the Flagstick while putting. Dec. 13.2b(1)/2
Love the format of this video. To be fair Rob did well with the camera on him. That 7 iron run up to the green is a must, you can duff a wedge but that 7 iron is easier to hit and you’ll always get distance with it, hopefully making the next shot(s) easier.
Hi, I think his back swing needs attention. He over swings in the effort of trying to hit too far. Just a tip. At the top of the back swing, meaning when your left shoulder touches your chin, if your left arm is straight the club shaft should not be less than 90 degrees to that left arm. His is about 45 degrees and is close to bouncing on his right shoulder. Hope you understand.
No advice as I’m only new myself but great video, very useful.
Thanks Carlos
I think you should have asked him WHY he uses the 48. It's no good waxing lyrical about mid iron chip and runs if its a shot he absolutely hates the thought of.
I know his brother Ronald! He used to get some McDouble bogies
Bull shit been playing golf 40 years I'm off 10 I never no anybody score over hundred be 24 handicap
