Aside from the low scores (my dad and I combine for 2 birds max), this felt so relatable that I had to comment. Chill and shady Alhambra GC is a fantastic one to play with pops. Congrats to him and to you kids too. I know those shaggy lies well and found that toe-down chipping helps a bit. Ymmv.
Thanks! It's truly a blessing to have this golf course-it's such a unique setup where both young and old can enjoy the game. "Chill" really is the perfect way to describe it. Appreciate the chipping tip! I used to only use my 58º around the greens but recently switched to my pitching wedge to play more bump and runs-will definitely keep the toe-down technique in mind for the next round!
Congrats to you and your dad for personal bests!! Your dad is awesome! Happy belated birthday to him! 86 is my best at Alhambra. Hope to run into you guys there one of these days.
I'm not crying. You're crying. It's not even his channel, but your dad has become one of my favorite TH-cam golfers. Accepts the mishits. Celebrates the good shots. And always celebrates the success of his playing partners. No better example of what it means to be a golfer right there!
Thanks @MikeGolfsOregon! - That means a lot and I'll pass along your kind words to him. I presented this video to Dad for his birthday today (he's currently overseas) and he said he had tears in his eyes as well. Amazing how this game draws people together and brings out the best in us!
I found myself smiling throughout the entire video. The sound quality was superb 👌. From swing to ping 😀. But I was most impressed of how clear you conveyed the joy you guys were having. Thanks man. Quality upload 🫡
Damn Mig nice video! Your dad hitting under par at that age is a momentous occasion! Makes me wish my dad played golf haha. Nonetheless your tee shots are so good. Cant wait for the next one!
Thank you! We were pretty stunned by it when it happened. The best he's ever shot there these last couple of years was a 76. When he made those 3 birdies in a row on Holes 2, 3, and 4, I realized the round was going to be special. 🙂
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I couldn’t agree more-it's absolutely the greatest game! This was definitely a round I'll cherish and look back on fondly for years to come. 💙
oh my, thank god the algorithm recommended this video. I play all the time at Alhambra and even if it was a short day its still super challenging. Well done Dad!
This was great, no frills, just golf! And very good golf also! Where is Dad from, I mean I can guess China or Taiwan? Absolutely beautiful and heart warning. Well done Mig and Dad. Inspiring.
Thank you for the kind words! 💙 My dad is originally from Taiwan. He married my mom there, and they moved to Argentina, where my brother and I were born. We then moved to the U.S. when we were very young and have been here ever since. Both of my parents speak Chinese, English, and Spanish. 😁
Yes-I’m so glad this course exists! It seems easy at first, but it’s deceptively challenging and forces you to play strategically. Lots of risk/reward holes and you still have to putt well to put a good round together.
Nowadays Dad plays from the white tees but will occasionally play from the blues on shorter courses. (We all played from the blues in this video because they were moved up that day.) He doesn't hit it as far anymore but he never seems to miss a fairway and his short game is still exceptionally sharp.
I’ve studied his swing with great fascination over the years. In short, he’s reached an age where he needs to limit his body rotation to avoid injury, relying instead on directing his club path with his arms and a well-timed weight shift. And it's a complete mystery to me how he manages to sink putts with that putting stroke. 😂
I’m not crying
This is the greatest TH-cam golf video of all time.
Thanks. 💙Glad you enjoyed it!

You deserve way more subscribers love the content and happy birthday to your pops and breaking par!
Thanks for the kind words! Just putting these videos together is reward enough. Glad people are out there enjoying them. 😊
Algorithm brought this video to me, so glad it did. A memory you will all have forever. Why golf will always be the greatest sport.

Thank you! I often play there as well and have found that the forward tees really challenge you to rethink your strategy on many of the holes.
this is such a great video love it !
Thank you! 💙

@@migl9000 That's amazing. Good luck on your golf journey!
Nice video! Great family.
I appreciate that. Thank you! 💙
magnifique !
Merci! 💙
Perfect course to break par....several drivable par 4's....short course but tricky
Yes-I’m so glad this course exists! It seems easy at first, but it’s deceptively challenging and forces you to play strategically. Lots of risk/reward holes and you still have to putt well to put a good round together.
what tee does your dad play? he's so good
Nowadays Dad plays from the white tees but will occasionally play from the blues on shorter courses. (We all played from the blues in this video because they were moved up that day.) He doesn't hit it as far anymore but he never seems to miss a fairway and his short game is still exceptionally sharp.
If i could like this video twice i would.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. 💙
I have the same nike shoes, they are so nice
Nice! You have excellent taste. 😁 I love these shoes because they’re so versatile-you can wear them pretty much anywhere, not just on the golf course.
Dad has the most unconventional swing and puts, but all works.
I’ve studied his swing with great fascination over the years. In short, he’s reached an age where he needs to limit his body rotation to avoid injury, relying instead on directing his club path with his arms and a well-timed weight shift. And it's a complete mystery to me how he manages to sink putts with that putting stroke. 😂
