- I NEVER Expected This In His FIRST EVER Golf Lesson!? A BEGINNER GOLFERS FIRST EVER LESSON! WHAT TO EXPECT? People are taking up golf all the time and we are starting to see more beginner golfers than ever before, eventually they hope to move through the ranks of high handicap, mid handicap and maybe even low handicap. Hopefully with the help of golf lessons. why is golf so hard? well we have to smash long drives, hit straight drives, get out of bunkers every time, hole putts, get up and down when you miss the green, strike pure iron shots and even get the occasional hole in one right? well, maybe with the help of golf lessons for beginners these are a few things we can tick off, in this video we have another episode of our BEGINNERS RACE TO DUBAI series, where we Take a total novice golfer, and see if he can break 100 at one of the worlds best golf courses in Dubai... this is the first time he ever hit a golf ball!!! lets do it... and lets do it now!!!
One of the most impressive lessons I have ever seen in my 51 years. Great teaching and well done by your student.
Thought he did a good job, light and informative. One tip i heard Butch Harmon giving to teaching pros a long time ago was that a pro should never hit a ball in a lesson. He said when you feel like trying to show someone a movement, pick another option like putting them in the position or use a drill instead to reinforce the concept.
You picked the right man for the job, great to see a beginner that's so comfortable on camera and shows that there's nothing embarassing about starting out and will show people thinking about getting into golf that there's nothing to be intimidated about. We all had to hit that first ball. Fantastic results from start to finish - he already hits a ball better than me :)
That was interesting to see how you approach a first golf lesson.
I suppose times have changed but when my uncle taught me to play (many, many, many years ago) he basically worked through Mr Hogans Five Lessons, starting with the grip. All I did for the first lesson was to learn how to place my hands on the club and I didn't hit a single Ball until my uncle was confident that I knew how to hold the club, how to address the ball, how to align my body to the target, how to to take the club away in the backswing and how the downswing worked! Although I made plenty of swings I didn't actually hit a Ball for about a month! I suppose he didn't want me to lose any of his golf balls!
After a month I was that desperate to hit a damn Ball I nearly wet myself with excitement, (well I was a youngster)!
Getting back into golf after a good few years off. Struggling with striking my irons but the basic tips in this video will definitely help me. Thank you!
Well done on your first lesson Mr. Fox, some great strikes there. 😎
The smile when he hit that nice shot lol that’s why I play
Great vlog James..Mr fox is a lucky man having you there from the beginning of his golf journey. He's obviously got good taste as he is wearing a Golfmates tee shirt. Best of luck to mr fox and yourself breaking 100 in Dubai . I'm l👀king forward to the journey.
Well done Mr Fox your doing really well so listen too James and in no time you’ll be enjoying more good golf shots, don’t take any other advice from anyone just yet otherwise you’ll get confused so stick to the basics for now. Well done keep going and enjoying your golf.
Probably the best video I've seen prior to playing golf. I've never played. I've ordered my kit, and I'll be taking it up as a pass time next week🤞🤞
Welcome to the game Viv great to have you!
I got started last Saturday and I was terrified I wouldn't hit the ball even once, after a good 30 min of working on my stance I finally got it.
I was so excited I did not want to go home, can't wait for next Saturday 😊
I give the lad a big 👍🏻 up for taking his first lessons on you site, being video, he will break a hundred pretty quick
I asked for a lesson on transfering my weight to my forward leg at the end of my swing ... and now you have given it to me. Thanks. I’ll try this in my backyard first, then take it to the driving range. To complete the cycle I’ll take it to the course.
Great lesson James, way to put yourself out there Mr. Fox. Some great swings some horrible swings let me welcome you to the game of golf😎
James’s it will be interesting to see this pan out as 99 .9% of us then go off start hitting it poorly due to not being natural or ingrained so lose the effect until booking a new lesson. Can you take him past this with regular visits, and if so how quick can his hcp drop?
Can't see where else to message, any chance of looking at the various golf tags for shot tracking?
Good videos, good effort from the big lad learning!
Wish I could have had you teach me for my 1st lesson James, after just over a year of playing I broke 100 yesterday for the 1st time with a 93. Your videos have definitely played a part in it
you broke 100 in your first year during a tournament? no way JOSE, how old are u? if u prove it, i sponsor you right away
@@nickname9377 I never said tournament and also just over a year, but thanks for taking the time to respond
So glad to finally see this video series. I wish I had that little nugget of information when I started rather than playing for a while and having to go back and fix those mistakes. Especially the shaft lean. Great video as always!
First ever video I've seen in youtube of a beginner lesson. nice James...…..also very nice short he has on.
160 yards with an 8-iron on first ever lesson, impressive! I started a month ago and can only get about 120 of a 7-iron. Gonna try the budgie trick.
Great results from the beginner. You can see some of athleticism he has from playing cricket and very good impromptu modification of the beginner's swing by the instructor. It was awesome to see the smile on the beginner's face after he flushed the iron.
Some great stuff in this video, even for us 10 yr golfers
Grip strength
Hip movement, weight transfer and follow thru.
Always pick up something from your instructional videos
Loving these vids with foxy, he's got a really good swing for a beginner, I'm starting to realise I think my issue is I'm too stiff and rigid and I need to loosen up. Learning alot from these vids thankyou. Love the golf vlogs t-shirt aswell 😉 #golfmates
Love that your doing this....played my 3 round (9 holes) today...having a great time. Shot 61-68-60. Don’t care because I’m new. Looking forward to getting better
Fair play to the lad. Having his first lesson on camera, he’ll break 100 easy
Happy days Foxy , top stuff , top teacher , n his golfing is better than his heating skills , yours truly Mr Mark Morgan x
Great lesson James now i understand everything
Great job, way better than I did my first time!
He may want to look into getting a good pair of stable golf shoes to go with that glove. Shoes are everything to getting that right balance, running shoes have too much give and never seem to support my weight shifts. I can't wait for more on this series!
Loving this series. Reminds me of my first time. You talked about grip. I use the 10 finger grip because my pinkie fingers curve severely and it hurts to interlock. Overlap just slides off...so I have had to learn to use the baseball grip effectively
You are a great instructor James 👍
A few things mentioned in the video resonated with me. I have issue snatching at the top of the swing
Nice vid James. Foxy is a lucky lad to be able to do this sort of thing on his journey to playing good golf. By the way I can see that driving range from my house across the valley.👍
Great first lesson and every golfer can learn a thing or two from this I know I have 👏👏
Love the fact he has a Golf VLOGS t-shirt on. Quality vid as always James
I was thinking a little forward tilt to the club at address would help.
Hi James great video
Could you please talk more about hip turn and weight transfer
I sure can Chad!!!
@@JamesRobinsonGolf
Thank you
I am 61 and never hit a golf shot until last week when i took my daughter to the golf range. Out of 50 shots i missed probably 5 times, sliced left and right 40 times and hit it good 5 times. You can tell this man has hand eye co-ordination and i have none.
Cracking series so far james!
Great video, one question, when talking about loft you hit down on the ball and compress the ball into the matt and I have seen in other video people talk about taking a divot after hitting the ball, which I understand, what puzzles me is when playing a sort par 3 and using a tee, do still hit down on the ball or would this be a more sweeping action, therefore changing the style of swing. I normal play these shots with out a tee. Thanks
Hey James, would you consider doing a video on how grip size effects clubhead speed. I'm a old codger that recently switched to Jumbomax ultralight grips to relieve pain I was experiencing in my right hand after playing 27 holes. The grips work and I don't think I have lost any clubhead speed, but I curious since I don't have the equipment to measure it. Keep up the good work, Thanks.
You said Cricket was rubbish.. it was at this point I hit subscribe 😂
Good vid, enjoyed the watch
Just subscribed, when the world is safe I’m booking you up. 👌
Great video. I love that you make it fun for the student rather than him getting all steamed up because he makes mistakes.
Right side being dominant and placed in the inferior position in a golf set up, causes over the top move where the right side is trying to take over. Everyone is struggling with this
In baseball over the top move is not an issue.
7:24..... this was the moment he got hooked for life!
Difference in follow through and waist turn
Top Vid James
What a "boogie" "bugie"? What are these positions in cricket? Whats a bowler? Thanks from America.
Budgie- small pet parrot, bowler = pitcher in baseball, cheers
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Tell him think about a square drive but instead of horizontal turn it vertical with a follow through!!!👍
NICE
VERY NICE..
When is the draw for the clubs4cash voucher??
Come on mate. We worked hard on this video! The draw is early next week!
Sorry mate didn’t mean it like that. Was just curious. Love the content pal
Great, he is going to be a natural

You got him focused on shifting weight, the weight will shift naturally if you just tell him how to swing through the ball, this way his swing is struggling because he is focused on weight shifting. Golf being left handed sport, the focus should be how to swing using left arm which is in dominant position on top of the club. The body will naturally respond in perfect sync. Weight shift happens naturally it’s not something has to be mindful of in a golf swing.
Leave it to me mate... he seems to be doing ok for now!
Love it, but shots got worse once you started working on positions. Maybe not during the first lesson? Could discourage most first time golfers to go from not bad to worse. Easy for athletic people to get caught up chasing positions instead of hitting the ball
I was always told to grip it as if you were squeezing toothpaste out off the tube worked for me
1st shot from you was a bad connection but a good posture position and swing 8 out of 10 swings should hit nice. The second shot was very unbalanced, a hit or miss you could say...4 out of 10 will hit nice
I broke 40 in my front nine today, and played 5 under par . And I wish to play with you james
Needs to get those hands more connected. Maybe you'll fix that in the driver lesson.
Great video James.
WTF is a budgie???
Budgerigar - small wild and domestic parrot from Australia, cheers
ian koch thanks, I would never have guessed.
For a first lesson he did quite well, he just needs to fix the left spaghetti arm 👍👍👍.
Feet solid and head kept down
No follow through just hitting it with his arms. Right back too the video and see what you say!!!
When the winner to the 500 pound voucher be announced
His lower body was stiff and not as flexible which made it hard for him to follow through!!
Much harder with a camera on you.
Sorry don’t believe it he’s played before
A bit unfair as it looks like he is trying to hit a cricket ball for six.
