    Nice to see a real and genuine breakdown of your golf game and what to except at your level - or I suppose 'golf development' would be a more appropriate phrase.

    Hi Luke, really enjoyed this especially since I’ve played the course myself! I loved the graphic on the right of the screen. Some huge golf channels don’t bother to do this and then when you don’t know the course you can get lost where they are on the hole and how the shots have gone. This little touch made the video very watchable!

    Just discovered your channel, great stuff. I’m a similar standard to you (12.6 world handicap). One thing that has helped me in the winter is always taking one extra club as I often come up short, and never taking three 3 wood off the fairway - always switching to 5 wood, which works out better most of the time. Looking forward to see more videos from you!

    First time tuning in from New Zealand. The way I look at it is that at 15 handicap you are only expected to make 3 pars during a round. You made 6. Already under par. If you can eliminate the triples and turn those into doubles then that's another 3 shots. Throw in a wee bit more course management, like not going for the green with a long iron over water and just laying up, saving even more. All in all, a great round.
    Definitely practice the bump and run. 1/3 air time for total distance = 2/3 distance run out.

    • @UpDownGolf
      @UpDownGolf  ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting! I'd say I probably make about 5 pars per round on average which likely means I shoot more doubles to make up for that. Better course management is definitely the low hanging fruit for me I think 👍 Thanks

    Something that’s worked for me, and might for you, is ditching the 3w/5w and going to a 7w. Much more consistent and while it won’t go as far as a flushed 3w, it was rare for me to hit them well. Now I just go Driver/7w/21 deg 5i/26 deg 6i. Only use the low irons off the tee really.

      @timnew7662 ปีที่แล้ว

      A 15 hdcp probably shouldn't even carry a 4I in the bag. I would take it out and replace it with a 22 degree #4 hybrid. The hybrid might gain you another ten yards and its versatility out of the rough makes it an easier club to hit. Other than that one tee shot he was hitting his 3W just about as far as his driver so he might even consider taking out the driver and replacing it with that 7W and then use the 3W from the tee while the 7W can be his go to fairway club when he needs accuracy on longer shots. If he can find a 20 degree 7W that is adjustable for loft +/- 1 to 2 degrees so much the better. He could then adjust it down 1 degree to give him a 3 degree gap between that club and the 22 degree hybrid. I have the Callaway Epic Heavenwood that is a standard 20 degree and which is adjustable.

    I live in Pennsylvania US pretty much unless you have a membership most courses are closed this time of the year.
    My only hole in one was made with a stinger Shot That only went about 50' in the air for a 172 yds it hit the green bounced once, rolled and disappeared given it was a stinger I thought it was over the green. Never checked the hole first, given the nature of the shot. Searched behind the green. Found a similar ball but not my exact ball. So my playing mates and I agreed to just play that ball. When my playing mate went to pull the pin he found my ball sitting at the bottom of the cup. It was my first and only hole in one.

    I was playing quite a bit up until this week when the weather turned much colder (Philadelphia region). Mid 40's F is my temperature threshold for golf. I enjoyed watching a player with a similar handicap to my own work around the course. The driving and approach shots were very similar to my game. The major difference was in chipping and putting. Perhaps it was the conditions ....but my short game is much better (aside from the early back 9 par run). I'm a 13 hdcp....maybe those 2 strokes of difference in hdcp are where short game differences matter? In any event....I enjoyed the video....thanks for posting!

    Luke, why do you choose to go with a 60 wedge out of the sand, as opposed to the usual 56? And second question, as a novice golfer did you realize initially that there was a 14 club limit and do you stick to that "rule" or not? I wasn't aware of that rule and I carried 17 clubs for 2 years until I joined a league and discovered it. I wanted to go by the book, so I trimmed my bag down to 14 but I'm curious as to weather anyone else made that mistake.

    • @PB-sc5uo
      @PB-sc5uo ปีที่แล้ว

      I use a 21 degree iron as a tee club on narrow holes (5i but that’s only because modern clubs have jacked lofts). I can confirm, for me anyway, that it’s far more accurate than a fairway or hybrid. Can get it to 200 yards on a good swing and I’m barely a 90mph driver.

    Just rotating a little fast and the club is getting left behind only a tad,( it's not really bad). It leaves the face open at impact, and making the ball go right. Just need to let the arms go first and then rotate. That will stop your drives from spinning and you'll defo get up to 220-230 carry.

      Orlando, FL here. Winter golf here is quite enjoyable as the temp yesterday was about 82 degrees F and bright sun. The tough weather here is Summer when the temp and the humidity is 90 to 95 and the sun beats down mercilessly. (Heat exhaustion can and does happen in the summer here.) Great video as I'm about and 18 - 20 and I'm 73 and I can relate to your bad shots. I might suggest that you add a 5 wood to your arsenal: it's shorter and easier to swing for a 190 to 200 yard shot. The one thing I noticed is how slow the greens were at your course as FL greens are usually quite fast, unless they're dewy or haven't been mowed.

    First time I’ve seen one of your videos Luke. I’m very impressed. I have only broke 90 1 time so far (87), so I can really relate to your round here. If I’m not mistaken, on the 17th! the rule for a ball in water in a bunker is you have to take relief no more than 1 club length from the water but still in the bunker to not be penalized. You took relief outside the bunker which means you should add 1 stroke for that hole. Correct me if I’m wrong or is the rule different then here in the U.S.? I think I would like to do a video exactly how you did. What camera do you use? What do you do for the ball flight? What do you use for the graphic on the top right? Is that a template of some sort?
