    I’ve commented before but I love it. My biggest mistakes are leaving myself too much to handle when I miss the green. That safe chip shot is what I lack every time. You bounce back so easily, something I have to get better at. So many rounds I could broken 80 but I just blew a few holes up.

    Our games are very similar… ive watched a few episodes and you have better chipping and putting which is why im a 9hdc. My tee shots and second shots play like a 5 but my chipping plays like a 12.

    Golf is easy to make a decent score (relative to your skill level) by playing conservatively but to score tour lowest you need to take a bit more risk. I guess the real skill is knowing when you can push and when you need to be patient.

    Im confused , you say this is how to eliminate doubles and blow up holes then hit a treble on a 340 par 4 .. then get birdie with an eighteen foot putt , then a ten footer for par after a dismal approach shot ,
    I mean it continues in the same vain , no mention of the obvious hook from an above feet or not hitting a lefty draw from the tee into a the massive trouble right ? I mean this is some great recovery play and amazing putting but for the majority of golfers this method would result in an over 100 round .
    Great golf but not as advertised is it ?
    It should be billed as ‘how to great a great result from a crap plan by playing super care free borderline great golf like a happy drunk fella on sunday ‘

    not under standing why your hitting a hybrids off the Tee box on 350 something yard par fours when its just a clean straight shot to the pin down hill even ,, just setting yourself up for longer second shot in to the green ,, second shot is always way harder then a Tee shot ,, and if your drivers not working why wouldn't u just use a 3w ,,, like i said not understanding the whole hybrid thing

    • @AgainstThe-Grain

      I was hitting driver so bad on the range, everything was a huge hook so i was hitting hybrid just to get it in play. Tough to tell in the video but there was also lots of creeks, rocks and bunkers that hybrid let me avoid. I actually didn't have my 3-wood at the time, only had a 3 iron and hybrid hahah
