Awesome Mark - great stuff.
I would add:
1) tap the sand off your shoes when you walk out of a bunker so you don't walk sand all over the green and carry the rake with you into the bunker so you are FAST getting out of there
2) carry multiple clubs with you if you are playing cart golf and remember to grab your cart partner's needed clubs (putter etc) when they don't have it
3) beginners are horrible at watching where exactly their ball enters the woods - teach them early to remember an exact location
4) as you walk to a green, look where the next tee is and leave your bag there so you don't have to walk backwards and get it
5) if you are a beginner, just tell the people you are playing with, and don't worry about it - we have all been there - just play fast and everyone will appreciate it
6) have someone else explain to your wife (or husband if it is the case) everything in this video because there are some things that there is no winning way to do it
7) if you are a beginner, it is ok to pick up your ball on a hole to keep pace and just restart at the next hole. Do not be embarrassed - it is absolutely ok
Thanks for number 7.
number 7 i still do that, especially on those days were you are just playing like crap, which also happens to everyone
The rake should be in the bunker anyway
Number 3 is so important
Great tips. Im a beginner golfer but im always respectful of other peoples time so i always pick up at triple. I usually have 1 maybe 3 holes a round where im at triple bogey and still not in the cup i just pick it up unless im playing alone and the course isnt packed.
How about......Remember to enjoy yourself too!! So many stuck up people play this game.....makes you wonder why they bother?
The look on Dan's face holding the flag 🤣🤣 classic.
Another one to add is leaving your bag at the side of the green you'll exit to go to the next tee before you pull your putter.
leaving your bag at the front of the green is the #1 give-away that you are a beginner or hacker.
@@danchanner7887 I SLAM MY BAG INTO THE GREEN AND THEN PUT WITH THE FUCKING FLAG YTB
Top tips boys - me and my buddies have been playing for years and have the etiquette thing and ready golf thing sorted but it is amazing how many people, experienced golfers as well, who get it wrong i.e trolley on the wrong side of the green, marking cards on the green whilst group behind are waiting to play, taking hundreds of practice swings on every shot etc... more of the same Mark and the gang - good fun!
My two biggest bug bears for new and some 'experienced' golfers: first one - people who are just short of the green, chip on and leave their bag 20 yards short of the green , walk on & putt out, then have to walk back to get their bag .. position your bag where you're going to walk to the next tee please! .. second bug bear .. putting out & filling your card out whilst still stood on the green, chatting to your mates .. was that a 5 or a 6? .. Mark it on the next tee please!!
Those chit chatters on the green bottleneck a good flow when it's super busy, just because it's a week day and not the weekend super busy times is no excuse. Seen it numerous times.
One of the most enjoyable golf videos I’ve watched in a while. The Crossfield gang killed it. I’m ready for the weekly half hour show on the golf channel.
This is good. When I first started playing golf with my Dad back in the 1970s he taught me a few points which I still follow today. 1) As far as you are physically able, keep up a reasonable pace between shots. There is nothing worse than the group behind watching you dawdle between each stroke as they anticipate another 4 hour plus round. In fact as a beginner try and find out peak times and avoid them. 2) 80% of wild shots don't go as far as you think, therefore find the nearest point to where your ball went into the rough and start your search there rather than 50 yards ahead. 3) Leave your bag or trolley en-route to the next hole. Don't walk back on yourself and don't mark cards on the green unless there is no one behind you waiting to play. If you are playing an unfamiliar course look for signs to the next tee or ask your playing partners if they are familiar with the course. All these little things add up and could save a good half an hour a round. Finally, your tip of standing behind to look for your playing partner's ball when hitting into the sun is a good idea. I tend (where space allows) to stand a good 5 yards behind and I take my hat/cap off and hold it in front of me to block out the sun. I can then watch the apex of the flight. Of course these rules don't apply to Dan, who will more than likely nob one knee height.
Loving the subtle changes to the channel
Been a long time coming. Still the most genuine and authentic golf content online
Don't be afraid or embarrassed to yell "fore" if you have to. Better to be cautious than let someone get hurt without warning.
absolutely. great advice
Pretty much all I do say on the course 🤣
Agree 100%, so many people just don't seem to do it.
Plenty of non-beginners out there who ought to watch this video!
Facts
Would live to see instruction on how to repair your pitch marks, hate seeing un repaired or badly repaired ones.
And the ensuing arguments about what is the "correct" way. Especially when you see touring pros on TV doing it the "wrong" way compared to what the greenskeepers and the USGA recommend.
Great video! 2 additions 1) more accomplished golfers didn't start out that way, so if they're polite, they don't care how bad the person they're playing with is, so don't worry about not being very good 2) there is no shame in picking up after 6 or 7 strokes if you're not on the green; keep the pace of play up.
Mark I learned everything you showed as a caddy many years ago and they haven’t changed. Once you get it down it sticks and it becomes routine. Start by carrying the bag correctly. Goes a long way towards looking good
Dan is bloody hilarious. Love it 👍
You could do a followup:
- driving buggies by players on a tee box
- where to wait before approaching next hole when play backed up
- repair pitch marks
- talking (or ripping on Velcro) while ppl hitting
- when/how to let others play through
I liked the sarcastic adages haha but real life circumstances. Thank you! As a beginner I think it’ll be helpful.
Dan’s acting skills are first class!
Dan standing in front of the hole is hilarious 😂😂 how did you not burst out laughing?
Great video Mark. A lot of this is common sense courtesy. Respect your playing partners, respect the course, respect and understand the rules, respect your equipment this leads to respect yourself. Be humble if you win and be magnanimous in defeat. Never forget that the game will nearly always win.
I loved the "this is for par now!" as he's in the rough after three-hitting it
Great video as a new golfer in my 60,s it's nice too get information you fill stupid asking
Think we need a bit of bunker raking/positioning chat in the next one Mark
That's a good one, never been showed that before and I've played on and off for 15 years.
I always put it to the outside so it's away from the green or the fairway. My thinking being that it won't stop a ball from going in the front of from coming out the back.
To be fair though most courses I play it appears that most golfers don't know what that spikey pole thing is for anyway!
@@robertcourt8593 some courses actually have it written on their scorecards along with local rules where they want their rake. Last one I visited said "head of the rake towards the flag and the whole rake within the bunker"
@@robertcourt8593 The problem with giving advice on this though is that different courses will have different requests for how they want rake placement handled. Some like it in the bunker. Some like it outside. Ideally i think they should be outside in line with the hole. But green staff dont want that because they are generally understaffed and dont have time to pick them up when they mow around the bunkers each week.
The course I play has rake holders to keep them up off the ground and outside of the bunkers so that the rake doesn't interfere with the ball
OMG! How do I share this anonymously with everyone I’ve played golf with for 50 years?! Such a great idea to do this video! Found you about a month ago ... seriously love all of your work. Thanks so much!
I ordered a polo shirt from William Murray and the email confirmation came with the quote "You're not good enough to get mad at your bad shots". Go out, have fun, respect those around you by keeping up the pace of play (these are great tips, Mark!) and enjoy your game for what it is. No one is going to go out and be Tiger or Rory. That first truly ripped drive or perfect chip shot and you'll be hooked.
Coming back two years later as I’m getting a friend into golf! You guys need to re make it even bigger and better!!!
But what a great video thanks guys
Been playing golf 20 years now but only wish someone told me these things when I was a beginner. Great video Mark 👍🏻
great video, thanks a lot, all the way from KL, Malaysia
Love your stuff. You mention the no 1 beginners don't realise.At newbies level you MUST watch your partners ball ,as it's fairly likely to be heading off into the wilds.Dropping shots because no one's watching is a major enjoyment killer.
A few people that play every week for the last 10 years could do with watching this
Really good vid and helpful for people maybe worried about playing in comps with people they don’t know. Get all this stuff right and you’re pretty much good to go.
When it comes to clubs in the bag, I keep the odd numbers together and even on the other side. As there’s greater lengths between clubs they don’t clunk as much and reduce the risk of scratches. Also keep a pocket sized brush in my pocket so I can clean the face of each club before taking my shot, rather than clean a club after a shot when I might not even use it for the rest of the round!
Great video! I’ve been playing for 50 years & cannot recall any of the magazines and golf programmes on TV doing this!
Very useful information. Will be starting my golf lessons soon. Thank you guys
Loved this its amazing what we take for granted and just do and never really thought about it as i would do all of the above without thinking but i was lucky in that i played with my father as a kid and you learn from them. Mark you always manage to amaze me with the different types of content . keep going sir and ill keep watching
Brilliant Mark! Laughed my head off at ‘tour bag carrying guy’ at the start 🤣🤣
Glad I watched this. I'm new to golf. My golf instructor recommended this video as he fixed my clubs in my bag.
Good video this. Had seasoned golfers do all these things. Sen this to members clubs as a tutorial
Absolutely loved this! Thanks for mentioning shadows. That one bugs me. You forget how much new golfers don’t know. I’d say do these every couple of months Mark. How to play properly when in a buggy would be great as well.
Thank you. Im a 58 year old beginner that needs all the help I can get, lol.
Love it. Just watched with my 5yo. He was laughing and nodding his head at the same time.
Ps. Dan is comedy gold.
😂 great vid and good light hearted vibe. Wish you’d have done this when I started playing 4 years ago !! May well share with a few of my golfing buddies 😂
Is this video for seasoned members!!.. I see this every week... And if you say something, then all hell breaks loose!! Aaaaaahhhh!! Great vid guys xx
Excellent, first one I've seen of yours, I hope the rest are as good.
This is a properly good video for beginners will be sharing this with quite a few people. Might be boring but a basic rules video would be good too. 👏🏻
Great video. My 3 takeaways are, do not complain or analyze your shot if it's a bad one move on to the next hole forget about the last hole. Complaining simply takes up too much time and it undermines your concentration. The second takeaway which I thought was an excellent point you made , was the courtesy aspect. Be ready to play understand the rules and keep the pace up. A third point has to do with your cart or as you say in the UK your buggy . Follow the rules that the golf course posts. If it says cart path only be courteous and stay on the cart path. Treat the golf course like it's your own backyard nobody wants to see things chewed up because of an inconsiderate golfer. Pick up your litter pack out the garbage in your buggy or cart and return it like you found it. Thank you. Keep up the great content!!!
Informative and funny! Thanks. You have a new subscriber. 😊
I’ve watched this twice already and really enjoy it but please go further, you are helping the game even here in the states! Please talk about divots, new golfers seem to think they either fly back to the hole when they walk away the ugly spot will simply regrow overnight!
Group searches for lost balls that seem to last for hours, when some the group should be addressing shots! Thank you
This is absolutely brilliant I like the old “oh... erm... on yer head” shout instead of fore 😂
And.....know what ball you’re playing!
Neil Atherton a friend hit my ball being drunk by the time we were at the 13th hole, I got in the car and left lol
Love the way you quiet the clicking club heads with the hand when walking; I've been putting my towel in between them to keep them quiet.
laughed my ass off when you carried the bag off into the sun set! READY GOLF, READY GOLF! Noobs need to be taught this lesson!
Still in my first year of being a member of a golf club here & bag carry aside I've done pretty much all those booboos along the way as well as heaps more. Very grateful to patient playing partners (and even a few less patient ones too) for educating me, a vid like this should be mandatory viewing for a clueless beginner like I was & still am at times :) as the saying goes, a man who never made a mistake never made anything. Love the content, always entertaining and interesting, would definitely love to see more bits and pieces aimed to help keep us new and beginner golfers on the straight and narrow, keep this wonderful game we play growing & thriving
Fn hilarious but so true. Watching dude hit out of the rough was like watching an Ozzie Man video lol
I'd add a few things for a beginner to take the pressure off themselves in very early rounds. .Step one is can you make the ball move more than 100 yards down the fairway. Aim to complete the hole in 'double par' or less and whatever has gone wrong, pick up after 10 strokes and move on. Reset. You gain nothing from melting down to eventually write 16 which will occupy your thoughts for the rest of the round. With lessons these targets get harder and soon it's knocking on door of breaking 100.
Brilliant, brilliant video. Having experienced nearly all of these it actually had me pissing myself laughing on a couple of occasions. BraVo!
Fantastic advice. Love your channel. Best part....how you end it with "Enjoy yourself". Perfect.
Excellent video that should be an annual mandatory viewing for every golfer. How soon we forget things?
Great video! Should be a tutorial for all beginner golfers and weekend warriors! Could add something on how and when to allow quicker groups to play through!
That's pretty good. Also, rake the bunkers and repair divots. I once had to stop my setup and look around for a weird noise. One of my playing partners was absentmindedly fidgeting the loose change in his pocket...and to think how distracting it'd be playing with y'all's banter!
I liked this video. Full of useful information, and hilarious as well. Thanks. :)
Thanks that helped refresh my memory.
Great video also etiquette vids on controlling emotions & temper would be funny as well as helpful to people who are their own worst enemies 👍🏻
Excellent vid guys. Love the walk with the under slung trolley bag near the beginning. Had me in stitches.
Cracking video, perfect for my 16 year old son starting out, but a timely reminder for me as well! Always forget the shadows
Good swings for beginners guys. You’ll soon improve.
The other classic is putting the club bag down behind your back - just to realise that you have it down too close. Instead of putting in front where it doesn't get in the way of your swing. The amount starters I have seen moving their sometimes 2 times before hitting the ball ;-) . Hillarious video. Thanks
Actually so simple for experienced golfers but so important for beginners great vid boyz
Great video, maybe add a bit about not taking your bag onto not only the green (obvious?) but also on the tees too. My first time at a club, first tee, member told me off because my bag was about 5 inches into the tee area.
Looking for balls, how long, etiquette etc. Playing through, how, when etc. Don’t feel rushed into shots by golfers behind, let them through and relax.
Ringing bells and looking/climbing steps to see/hear that it’s safe to play.
Just a few things that seem obvious but are not often mentioned to newer golfers.
A classic one is hitting a duff into water and having to go back to the bag to get a replacement ball. Always have a spare ball in the pocket.
Thank you! Was looking for this comment before I said it myself.
Super helpful. Thank you!
Loved your examples! Thankfully, where we golf in 🇨🇦 we use push carts for our clubs. I wouldn’t want to carry mine all over the course and have to drop them ever hole.
Great video!!! Good honest content! Really enjoyed Dan's part in this...lol!!! Really handy video that I can show to my wife who recently took up golf. Non-golfers sometime don't understand why there are certain "ways" but they will catch on quickly...whether in a polite manner by a friend/partner or a rude old man shouting at them in a club-comp...thank you for the good content!! Keep it up!
This one is full of fun! lol!
I like the way it's a mickey taking but serious video! Luv to see more videos like this 👍 would have been a great help when I first started!
Great vid, all the other basic stuff that you learn when playing golf. Agree with other comments how to repair pitch marks, replacing divots, raking bunkers, (lifting up rake and taking it with you a d where to leave after) picking up broken tees, especially plastic ones (why use plastic?) shouting FORE, (OK ill stop rant) I think you got whole series here. And if you can do it in style of Golf Monthly that would be hilarious 😂
Has anyone ever tried to deliberately top it? It’s bloody hard. Well done bruh.
I am a skilled topper 👍👍
Big one for me - if the next tee is on the left side of the green, put your bag on that side then walk to your putt. Saves time, and saves you looking like you're lost!
every Golfclub should show this as a teaching video for beginners!!
Helped a lot! Thanks.
You forgot.... go to the range a lot to build a good basic swing before playing a proper round... and if you do play ... and swing is all over the place just double the par to keep pace of play going... also when riding in carts with a buddy..... split up to each of your balls when on opposite sides of the fairways with 2 clubs and a distance tool so as not to slow anyone down ....
7:09 Dan tending the pin.. OMG actual LOL moment that earned me a punch from wifey and threat of iPad confiscation 🤣🤣
Yes, good idea, the video was great.
Good advice here. I would add more encouragement of ready golf. But also set the tone - if it’s your honour on the next tee then make a point of getting there first.
Also, the liberalisation of the flag in/out rule is a godsend when you and your mate are both on the front of the green and the pin is at the back.
I’m a new golfer and find this very helpful! Thank you!
Dan's acting skills are something to watch XD
Great video guys !
how high should i have my socks?
Well your trousers should cover your socks
Tee thing was actually proper useful,,thanks
I think we need a little explainer for the newbies on cart etiquette. Where to park it at greens so you’re ready to pull off to next tee, watch for sharp turns (oh look there’s my ball) so your partner’s stuff (or them) don’t fly out of the cart, who’s ball do you drive up to first, when to go to your ball while they play their own so you keep pace of play, mark your card at the next tee box (not sitting next to the green), etc. cheers bruh!
Would love to see a “tips on how not to be annoying to fellow golfers” as a usually single golfer I get grouped up with strangers and I’ve seen some terribly annoying things: spitting sunflower seeds on greens, not repairing pitch marks, talking while someone is close to hitting a tee shot, driving carts on to the tee area et cetera. Thanks for all the great content Mark and the boys. Cheers!
Great way of taking the stigma out of nervous situations lads
I was taught and taught my son to stand on the tee box and watch the shot. It always seems that when we're playing with someone they paired us with, that we're walking up to the box (we tend to play ready golf and not always honors) and they're at the cart playing with the head covers and trying to decide which club to hit and we've already teed off. Also, I see a lot of guys play with covers for all their clubs and after we tee off they're sitting there messing with the covers, I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I take my covers off at the start of the round and don't put them back on until we're done. It's very busy here where we play so you really have to keep moving and not wasting a bunch of time messing with things.
Good video. Fun and informative, even for the experienced golfer...
Wish you could add photo to comments. I am so fussy how my bags set up 😂😂😂
Great vid. Don't be on the last minute and rushing, Get to the club in plenty of time before your T time. Warm up or have a practice put. Support your pro and spend some money in the shop.
Excellent video Mark and Co. Many many non beginners need this as well. Maybe add chatting or even shouting while somebody is swinging ? Including other golfers not in your group. Fairways next to yours etc. More like this please. Possibly a new rules demo for more accomplished golfers ( like that term, I now will be an 'accomplished' golfer :-) )
I’ve had the bag organisation conversation a few times with people. All the reasons you give for putting the clubs in the order you suggest are equally valid for the other way round, as I do. As long as the headcovers are put on properly they protect the shafts and don’t cover the irons over, if the woods are then at the bottom of the bag you can clearly see the layout of your irons from above and not have to bend down to see under the driver?
Great video boys. We need more of this stuff from all the other "golf youtubers" as well to reach a wider audience. Would be cool to see you guys do a rules one as well if you could. It still amazes me how wrong people get the most basic of rules.
Matt could find his driver in the dark! Another good one for golf carts is park to the right of the ball for righties and the left for lefties. You sorta mentioned this but golf carts apply as well.
Something that even high nose seasoned golfers don't do, REPAIR YOUR PITCH MARKS
Or rake the bunker
Whenever anyone in the crew I play with needs to repair a pitch mark it's a cause for celebration. We have a lovely little ceremony, and take great care to make a perfect repair. Those two holes are usually the most fun of the day.
I fix any pitch mark I see and fill unfilled divots. And many times end up tapping down rough spots from the guys that drag their feet in golf spikes. I want the course to stay in good shape so I fix these for the lazy. Would be nice if everyone took a minute.
Mark what grip did you put on the phantom??
@@bryanlina4724 It should be like rubbish. Fix (pick up) yours and one other, but there are times when it seems pointless.
Good tips...very cheeky
Really enjoyed that, lots of very good advise, lets see how many take it up.
