I've been playing golf for 50 years at a high level single-digit handicap for over 40 years but I can't stop watching these videos they are outstanding great advice for anybody
Yup. 1 of the golfers at my course said, "this game is easy, 3 shots down the middle, putt for par." I've slowed my swing down, hitting every club in my bag now, and it works.
I hadn’t find this channel yet. But last Sunday I took the mindset of playing smart with as little ego as I could. Got my first pars ever and bogeyed so much. It was great. Love this concept.
Jimmy, I don’t normally comment on videos, but I have to say that of all the 100s of golf videos and golf TH-camrs I’ve watched…you’re the best. The way you make the repeatable golf swing so easy is amazing. You have helped my golf game a ton and I will be passing your lessons on to friends. My golf balls now jump straight off the face of my clubs and I don’t even have to swing out of my shoes. Keep doing what you’re doing! Great to see this stuff coming out from a regular golfer
Jimmy, I am someone who got so damn frustrated with golf that I gave it up in 2018. But recently I’ve wanted to get back into it but just needed somebody who I could watch and learn from you. Are that guy. I’m a younger senior citizen, trying to get back into this word that I used to love. Your videos are helping me.
Hi Jimmy, love the fact that you do not edit the videos. Played the first 9 holes May 1, in league play, shot a 45 using your techniques, got rid of the 60 year olds from the hot tub, replaced with 30 and 40 year olds, made only 1 and 2 puts, best ever. Thank you for your help, Ron Pagliaro , not easy at 76 years old.
For me the best part of this video is your acceptance of the poor driver shot. You kept your poise:(22:30) "This is golf, and you must continue..." I'm telling myself those exact words from now on. Thank you so much for making this crazy game so real for us.
After watching your videos my game has improved !! My score has improved every time and putting is no longer a problem or stressful 😂 I’m always invited to the tropicana hot tub 😂🤣
Jaime, every time I go to the range I watch your videos the night before. I am not good by any means but, your videos are definitely helping bit by bit. Gracias camarada.
The “grip it and rip it” mentality currently helps me not overthink the shot. Just swing and make good contact. Not maxing out any distance records anytime soon, so ease up and make it centered and solid. These walkthroughs are super helpful in getting in the right frame of mind.
Great video. I just started golfing again 2 months ago and was shooting high to mid 90s the first month. With better course management and not hitting driver every tee shot, im now back down to mid to low 80s. Once i can start hitting driver a bit better again hopefully ill be back into the 70s with better course management. Bogies on tough par 4s is always good for anybody. Keeping ball in play and not taking drops is so much more fun and works wonders for your score and confidence.
Hi Jimmy, gotta say thank you for your videos, First time out after 2 year hiatus due to a wreaked shoulder. Shot for me a respectable 96 on punched greens, No lost balls, only 2- 3 putts and, highest hole was a 7. Your teaching methods work.
Jimmy, your buddy's humor got me to watching him, dat's it....he has me now watching you. The best thing I can say about your videos is that you make this ol hacker BELIEVE,that i can play this game. Thank you, sir.
Truly great way to teach patience of playing golf. Loved this Tropicana hot tub put drill 👏. Nxt time on court try to play this way. This is what I need to cool down my crazy ambitious shots. Sometimes they work well but often not. Better strategy is presented here: just aim for Par. And mostly get a Bogye. But avoid Double Bogeys t .
I love how relaxed and easy going your plays are. You really encourage confidence and common sense. Great videos - I'll hopefully remember your pointers this weekend 😅
Hi Mike I haven’t been on your channel in quite a while. I’m also a TH-camr (Sarasota Tim) and you inspired me to start my channel and actually do exactly what you were doing as I had a Toyota 4Runner but I never did. However, my channel did take off making videos about social Security and other things and now I’m pretty successful, traveling in an RV at 65 years old basically videoing my life. My Social Security videos made me popular a year ago with millions of views. So I’m sitting here in Utah in my RV and I’m subscribed to your channel I was thinking let me check in and see what you’re up to and I saw the thumbnail of you in the hospital! I make devotional videos two or three times a week along with my regular videos as I am a Christian and I tell people on my channel nobody is promised tomorrow live your life today. I’m gonna be praying for you and prayer works my friend. Thank God for your wife and you were home and lots of other things that many have already said. You will be stronger and better and your TH-cam channel will grow even larger in the weeks ahead. Get well soon and don’t worry for tomorrow for tomorrow. 😎-ST
Solid advice! One thing I rarely see mentioned is playing from the right tees. If you are a 18+ handicap, you probably shouldn’t be playing from the blue tees!
I agree kinda. You can be 80 years old and still a 5 handicap. Shouldn't play from the back tees. Thanks for watching and for the comment. As a courtesy Tropicana would like to offer you 20% off to support our merch. visit tropicanagolfshop.com/collections/tropicana-merch and use code TROP20
I'm a 10 at my home course it's pretty wide open but when I go tighter courses I play like at my home course. Maybe (if you haven't already done it) have an episode about transitioning from home course to unfamiliar course
Bogeys are, for most of us, your friend. I could always hit the ball a fairly long way. Several pars every round and often a birdie. But still typically shoot in the mid-90’s or sometimes worse - too many doubles and triples, from too many drivers out of bounds, trying to thread hybrids 200+ yards into a green guarded by water, or mindlessly trying to blast a 3-wood off the deck with no real goal in mind. There is some great advice here.
@@CCain-gl5feI had two rounds - one in a club tournament and one more casual with my brother- with FOUR birdies each round, and did not break 90. True story. How bad is that??
Im really enjoying your content, ive been subscribed a short while now, some of the analogies are great, the hot tub idea when putting, the wave at the camera man so you dont over swing. The way youre playing these holes is just stress free completely. It inspires confidence, thanks!
When I was 49 I had cancer of the head and neck. I wasn’t able to eat for 4 months. After treatment they wouldn’t let me take out my feeding tube until I proved I could maintain my current weight. I had lost 40 lbs. with feeding tube in me I played Torrey Pines North. My drives were about 160 yards. I needed a six iron to hit a 120 yard shot. I shot 83 from the middle tees.
For this handicap look at par as bogey , take stress off and bogey golf is 90 on par 72 . When u do reach in regulation u have good chance for par and then you can beat 90
More relaxing than my massage therapist.. Easyyyyy does it 😄 also if it’s close enough to green and not confident chipping just putt a little harder to get on the green 👍👍
I'm old. I like to put my foot up on a bench and very slowly move towards my knee. Switch, do the other side. I do this until I can feel my hip Flexer muscles deciding to cooperate. I also will spread my feet pretty wide and slowly turn the upper body side to side. Don't force it, go slowly. Stay with it just a bit and slowly try to go farther each time. I try to get some stretching at home before I arrive at the course. I will stretch more once I get there, before I hit a few range balls. If you feel loose, you can swing easy like Jimmy stated.
All stiffness comes from hamstrings. Lift your toe off the ground and then bend over to try to touch them. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Hi Jimmy. Love the tips and they have been working for me. So, thank you. Question, what do you do, to know you are lined up for the shot you’re hitting.?
Hi Jimmy, I've just watched some of your videos today and I'm inspired! My game has been all over the place the past 12 months, handicap increased by 6 strokes while trying everything under the sun with no success. I'll be practicing with the reduced back swing etc in the next couple of days and looking for some improvement in my club game at the end of the week. One question please....on a scale from 1 to 100%, how hard should we hit the ball? Thanks & regards....
So I'm confused. If I miss the hot tub, can I still get in it? Great stuff. When I play golf, I hear my dad's voice telling me as a teen, stay out of trouble. Great advice for golf too. Thanks for the common sense videos!
Man...just hearing you break it down when explaining why people say they can't hit 3 iron is exactly me.. I swing faster, ball further forward etc etc.. I'm just gonna play this game without the science that I obviously don't know, and hit a ball with a stick.
DUDE! First time post and first watch of any of your content. I've never even heard of you until i was scrolling randomly earlier and stopping because i thought you like looked like some jerseys guy you see from movies. This is fucking amazing! I love the approach you are taking. Almost like a confidence, thought coach take. I think most have heard many times from old timers, about using 7 iron only on par 4s , but dont ever do it. But ithere is something different going on here. You've got a beautiful swing and its obvious you can play. I really enjoyed this. Please dont take this the wrong way and it may not come out how I hope it does. I have this funny thought that pops up at different times in the video that i see a golfing version of Ron Burgundy. I honestly loves this. I cant decide if this a character youve created or not. As I said before, it's obvious you can play. You have a perfect classic swing and finish. I love the style of humor going on. Im sorry if you took any of that wrong. Far from it. If this is a character you have made you need a movie. I'd go to watch. And if its not a character you developed it doesn't matter, it's still great stuff. You are on to something. Thank you. Im going to share this not just to my golfing friends but all of my friends. Take care man.
Another great video on one of the most rundown golf courses I have ever seen. I can only imagine how well you could play on a halfway decent maintained course. LOL
My mates think i’ve lost it when I start talking about getting into the hot tub…. My course greens are some of the hardest around , 1 three putt in last two rounds and two low 80’s rounds the first for ages 100% works 👍 I hit a five wood 230 + yards the other day through the green never hit even close to that just slowing it all down and swing.
I watched a couple of videos yesterday before my round and shot the best round of my life with less is more!! I might not shoot a 78 the rest of summer.
Charle swhratzl was my neighbor when I lived in South Africa and he told me the same thing. Even if you bogey all par 4 and par the 3s and 5s you will shoot in 80s
The older you get you use course management more. I am 71 years old and I treat every hole like a bogey. It takes off the pressure. I always end up with 5-6 pars and the occasional birdie
Its easy to play well when you stay relaxed. You got it right. Thanks for watching and for the comment. As a courtesy Tropicana would like to offer you 20% off to support our merch. visit tropicanagolfshop.com/collections/tropicana-merch and use code TROP20
Enjoyed the info. I have no handicap established so I will ask this knowing that slope, average score and other things come in to play but what does a 25 handicapper generally score?
A general rule for calculating handicap is that your handicap number is your average strokes over par. So if you are a 25 handicap, generally that would mean you average 25 shots over par per 18 holes.. The calculation is not exact for the trolls out there but its relatively correct! So if par is 72, 25 Handicap means you average 97 strokes per 18 holes..
@@StephenHall-ew1dxHandicap has nothing to do with your average strokes, it's calculated using your best 8 rounds out of your last 20. A 10 handicap does not average 82 on a par 72 course, they may shoot 82 8 out of 20 times, the other 12 times they may shoot 105. Golf will kill you if you think you're supposed to shoot your handicap or less every time.
Hey Jimmy, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
Jimmy, in some of your shots the camera follows the ball in the air, but is behind you when you hit the shot. How is that possible? Yesterday I played and hit 5 iron (don't have a 3 or 4) off the tees and scored about the same as usual, I could have shot better but had 5 doubles and maybe 3-4 3 putts. Overall I felt much better and never was stressed out. Your thoughts on how to play golf make sense. Thanks
Dont think about that stuff. Just make sure you swing to a good finish. Everything will take care of itself. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

"everybody's trying to hit it 350; it's not gonna happen for you, it's not"

Charle swhratzl was my neighbor when I lived in South Africa and he told me the same thing. Even if you bogey all par 4 and par the 3s and 5s you will shoot in 80s
Exactly. Make it easy. thanks for watching. -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
My buddies and I were trying to get in the hot tub this past weekend 😅
thanks for watching! -jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
I like the bing, bang, boom in your older videos than 3-2-1 😊
Either way the rhythm is still the same
Gotta stay smooth. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com

Played like crap the other day with my wife... Made her feel like she was a pro golfer. So...a good day to be golfing.
The older you get you use course management more. I am 71 years old and I treat every hole like a bogey. It takes off the pressure. I always end up with 5-6 pars and the occasional birdie
Its easy to play well when you stay relaxed. You got it right. Thanks for watching and for the comment. As a courtesy Tropicana would like to offer you 20% off to support our merch. visit tropicanagolfshop.com/collections/tropicana-merch and use code TROP20
Enjoyed the info. I have no handicap established so I will ask this knowing that slope, average score and other things come in to play but what does a 25 handicapper generally score?
A general rule for calculating handicap is that your handicap number is your average strokes over par. So if you are a 25 handicap, generally that would mean you average 25 shots over par per 18 holes.. The calculation is not exact for the trolls out there but its relatively correct! So if par is 72, 25 Handicap means you average 97 strokes per 18 holes..
Over 105 normally. Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
@@StephenHall-ew1dxHandicap has nothing to do with your average strokes, it's calculated using your best 8 rounds out of your last 20.
A 10 handicap does not average 82 on a par 72 course, they may shoot 82 8 out of 20 times, the other 12 times they may shoot 105.
Golf will kill you if you think you're supposed to shoot your handicap or less every time.
Hey Jimmy, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made.
I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
Im not quite certain what it is that you said but It sounds entertaining. Haha.
@@TropicanaEntertainment I mean, do you need any help in your thumbnail designing and video editing?
How much did your game improve when you started showing others your easy swing, strategy and club choice? It’s been great for my game.
I play great when I dont try to do to much. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
1:10 I feel like this dude is personally attacking me right now lol
Jimmy, in some of your shots the camera follows the ball in the air, but is behind you when you hit the shot. How is that possible?
Yesterday I played and hit 5 iron (don't have a 3 or 4) off the tees and scored about the same as usual, I could have shot better but had 5 doubles and maybe 3-4 3 putts. Overall I felt much better and never was stressed out. Your thoughts on how to play golf make sense. Thanks
It would help us if you showed us your ball position. Is it more towards your back foot?
I play everything back in my stance toward my back foot. Better compression. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
I aim at the bunker because I never hit what I'm aiming at. Lol . By the way, how was the Srizon soft feel?
That was actually a fun ball. Im back to ODIN though.
9:02 is your recommendation the same, if the sand is compacted - like really hard (almost "rock-like"), on those less than spectacular courses?
I hit every green side bunker shot the same way. Works well for me
Very good advice.
I agreed but keep forgetting once I'm on the course...:(
Anyone know what shoes he’s wearing in the video? Love them.
Hi Jimmy. Will you please give an example of ball compression and shaft lean? One of my biggest issues with ball contact….
Dont think about that stuff. Just make sure you swing to a good finish. Everything will take care of itself. thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
Thank you Good Sir!!
Nice tips thanks❤
You didn't say, "3...2...1..." on your third drive. Thank you for the video!
Wow. I didnt. Then I hit it to sliceville. Keep a routine!! Thanks for watching! -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
As humans that is to effortless and calm we like action
maybe, calm down.
@@TropicanaEntertainmentjust coming from driving range applying your technique it was amazing
