I would like a vid on the fitting exp. I have a unique swing and i feel like a fitting would help. Also cost involved would help too. Enjoyed the under 10 minute vid short and sweet and to the point Gotta try that.
Typically fittings for specific clubs are free if you buy the club in question, but you can get more information out of a professional with more experience, might cost up front.
Hi Adam. Not sure if you will even be able to read this. I just want to thank you for what you have been doing. I have been watching your videos almost everyday until I got caught up on them. It has been a long winter here in Manitoba and as a fellow golfer, you know how it is. We played our first game of the season and I applied everything you preach. I am a 10 handicapper last year and I shot a whopping even par on my first game of the year. I am sure without your preaching's I would not have done this. SO again, thank you so much and I really appreciate what you have been doing. Keep it up and more power to you.
Finally a course I've played!! Was here a couple months ago and had a great time, plus the hot dogs were killer. Love the channel Adam, discovered it recently and you have been tremendous for my expectation management on the course, which goes such a long way for overall enjoyment. Keep up the good work bud!
Adam, I'm freaking out that you shot my home course. I love this place. And it makes me feel all the better seeing you of all people struggle with the flat stick here. 34 putts is my very lowest ever here, during my low round of 84. Well done and thanks.
One of my favorites as well... 84 is very good, I managed 88 and still working on lowering that! Just love the variety of holes and the scenery - great vibes indeed!
@@NotAScratchGolfer Right? And SO pretty. I'm up there at least once a month. Every time I tee off there, I firmly resolve to par the first hole, and every time, it's a 7.
**Indian Valley!! One of the most underrated courses in the Bay Area imo. I’m from That area, just moved to SF and watched your Presidio videos before playing there for the first time. Big fan, would love to play together someday either around SF or north bay. Cheers!
My advice for any single digit handicappers about scoring(You probably think the same as me) 1:Pars are your friends.Birdies are just bonuses 2:Only start thinking birdie when given a good opportunity 3:Bogeys aren't too bad.It's the doubles,triples etc that you should avoid Also,I've noticed you're hitting the ball higher than you used to!
Adam , your videos have gave me so much confidence out there on the course, I started a few months ago and I truly enjoy it more and more now thanks to your videos and your perspective and attitude on the course! Keep up the hard work
Bring on the fitting video! 😀 I got fitted at Club Champion with no rams affiliation. Just wanted my equipment to be best for me no matter the brand. All my tech is in the shafts for me. 👍🏻
Hey Adam. Amazing content. I'd love to see a video on how you practice (if you do). Just how go through a range routine or how you work on your short game at the practice green. I think it would be very interesting! Thanks!
ive played this course earlier this year... Indian valley has some great views but a tough course the first time you play it. this is a great video.. wish i seen this be for i played it earlier this year, Nice vid
6:30 That’s why I personally always take the pin out. Didn’t look like it was moving too quick on video. You just never know when you could get robbed by a weird pin. But it’s all personal preference
Thanks for showing this course, it’s close enough to me that I’ll look it up. Definitely show the fitting video! They are always interesting to watch and the process is fascinating. Would be cool to see you collaborate with the boys from TXG!
Love to see the fitting and a new what’s in the bad ! :) Also would love to see what you do on a range session or etc I am a weekend warrior and just want to see how to get more consistent
Loved seeing a piece of “Home”, there aren’t many flat holes on the course, everything is either an uphill shot or a downhill shot, club strategy comes in to play for pretty much the whole round. Thanks for the vid. 👍🏼
@@NotAScratchGolfer I get up in Marin (Novato), but I live in Florida now. Only other course I ever really played around there was StoneTree Golf Club, also in Novato, also a place where I worked. It’s a Johnny Miller design course, so be ready for the greens. 😬💀
@@NotAScratchGolfer It was good, I’ve been a big PXG fan for a while, but their prices usually kept them out of my bag, they had a big sale this year on last years models so made the purchase.
Would love to see a fitting video. Its been interesting watching you get comfortable with your new irons. It’s not the magic bullet folks think it is, you still need to see success with irons before you really trust them.
Lucky guy.. My province is still a good week or two away from being golf-able. I got an itch I can't scratch, the virtual thing just makes me yearn for grass under my feet.
just had my PXG driver break after only a mere 9 months. That grey thing on top just popped off. Heading in tomorrow to see what they're going to do to rectify it.
The closest I've been is 5.4 (which is light years away, in my opinion). Hmmmm good question. I probably don't play enough front tees to find *any* course very easy. Langara from the front tees comes to mind, though.
I recently got PXG 0211 DCs and they are not a golden bullet but man are they so much more forgiving than the 1998 iron set I was playing before. Just spent a week in Florida and my iron play was much improved over last year with the old irons.
Thanks, Brent. Lately I've been hitting more wedges and fewer bump and runs. There may be a better mix. It seems like I'm only confident with one of the two techniques at a time :p
Hi! Big fan here, awesome videos, no bs just golf. Which camera and tracer do you recommend? I have tried filming with the phone but I don’t quite get a great image on it. Would you recommend using a drone or is it too much? Thanks in advance!
I really enjoy your videos. Have a couple of questions. On your recap, what do you mean by scrambling? And do you always keep records of fairways hit, putts etc etc?
Thanks! Scrambling = making a par after missing a green in regulation. And yes, I record putts and my own variation of "fairways hit" (instead of "fairways hit," I record "green light drives," which I define as any drive that left me in position to reach a green in regulation).
I think you’ll see a huge improvement if you research and do some lag drills. The lag in your downswing is almost non existent. You are releasing your clubhead as soon as you start your downswing. You need to let your hands get deeper into the pocket before whipping that clubhead around. Keep the shaft pointing to the sky until your hands get into the pocket and then release the clubhead in the contact zone. Instead of storing all that energy and speed and releasing it at the ball you are wasting it by throwing your clubhead around at the start of your downswing. You’re missing out on an easy 15-20mph and all the benefits that come with it. All that momentum you’re wasting in transition should be stored in those hands until it’s time to release them on the ball. You aren’t getting that whipping motion at the bottom of your swing because you’re releasing that clubhead way too early. That’s the single most impactful thing you can change about your swing.
It's pretty rare that I play with strangers these days. Usually it's friends and/or subscribers. On the rare occasion I get paired up with people, it's never really been an issue. The whole process is pretty discreet :)
That has to be one of the hilliest courses I’ve ever seen. Felt like I was watching an optical illusion video. Usually the camera flattens out courses but it couldn’t do it for this place
@@NotAScratchGolfer actually, I love my gen 4 driver (9), irons, and wedges (I play the sugar daddy’s too), but have yet to check out the wood. That’s why I was curious. May hop down to PXG Philly and ask about that spec! Thanks for getting back me. Big fan of your channel and your approach to both the game and vlogging. Keep it up!!!
@@PatrickCoyle23 Thanks, Patrick. Funny enough I was actually losing distance to my old fairway wood with the PXG. It was one of those things where the #s on the trackman said one thing, but I just jived with the PXG one better, found myself feeling better standing over it. The results on course have borne that out so far.
Scoring definitely happens within 100 yards. Based on my shotscope numbers, I drive it like a scratch golfer. My approach and around the green game is the equivalent of a 25 handicap though... I struggle to break 90. lol

Yeah, I tend to pull the flag on shorter putts lately. Definitely feel like the pin robbed me of one there.
First on my new favorite channel. Keep being you Adam, would love to see your fitting and any swing thoughts. Your lag putting makes me jealous
Thanks for the kind words :)
Great attitude while grinding out a sub 80 score on tough greens!
Your commentary is so valuable 👏 keep it up.

Thanks Martin :)
Yea it be cool to see that fitting video. I upgraded to PXG’s this year too, 0311’s had a good sale on gen 3’s, love them so far.

@@NotAScratchGolfer
It was good, I’ve been a big PXG fan for a while, but their prices usually kept them out of my bag, they had a big sale this year on last years models so made the purchase.
You should come to Austin and check out the Munys, sir! It'd be fun to join you and get some pointers.
Tough putting on greens that were recently punched. Definitely want to see the fitting process and what shafts you were fit into.
Coming soon!
Would love to see a fitting video. Its been interesting watching you get comfortable with your new irons. It’s not the magic bullet folks think it is, you still need to see success with irons before you really trust them.
Agreed! And it seems like I have to make this video, given the responses so far!

just had my PXG driver break after only a mere 9 months. That grey thing on top just popped off. Heading in tomorrow to see what they're going to do to rectify it.
Have you ever hit scratch? Also, what's your favorite easiest course in the lower mainland?
The closest I've been is 5.4 (which is light years away, in my opinion). Hmmmm good question. I probably don't play enough front tees to find *any* course very easy. Langara from the front tees comes to mind, though.
to be fair, if these greens weren't in the absolute garbage state they were, you'd have been up another 3-4 strokes for sure. Awesome match
Yes. Let’s get a what’s in the bag. No video on the fitting process?!
Coming soon :D
I recently got PXG 0211 DCs and they are not a golden bullet but man are they so much more forgiving than the 1998 iron set I was playing before.

Good stuff! Yeah, 24 year-old irons seem like they could be improved on lol!
Gotta work on the old bump-n-run with a 7 or 8 iron on those long ones. Still a good score in my book!

@@NotAScratchGolfer THANKS!
Good round. Thought your swing on 17 was great. Nice tempo, smooth finish.
Thanks, Jason!
@@NotAScratchGolfer No prob, as always. Though I am getting a little jealous of all the rounds you are playing! :-P
Love your videos, I liked it better when you didn’t tell the score in the title though. I liked cheering for a good score
Hi! Big fan here, awesome videos, no bs just golf.
Which camera and tracer do you recommend? I have tried filming with the phone but I don’t quite get a great image on it.
Would you recommend using a drone or is it too much?
Thanks in advance!
Yes please to the PXG fitting video!
Damn your driving it really good now! Keep it up
Thanks!
You need to check out Gleneagles in SF, tough little course. Other suggestion, Hiddenbrooke.
Do a tutorial on the tracer, would be awesome!
I'd love to see your whole round practice

If you gotta problem with Candada Gooses then you gotta problem with me, and I suggest you let that marinate.

Haven't played any of those, only Cinnabar Hills! If I only had time for one, which would you recommend?
