Great video Adam. I am an 8 handicap, yet shot a 51 (9 holes) this past Wednesday. Started triple, double, double. Hard to recover but I managed a 91 after managing a 40 on the back. As always, love your content from Halifax Canada.
I have watched almost all of your videos (good job). I am always amazed at the number of 6 irons - hybrids that you hit into par 3-4. You downplay your driver, but it is not that short compared to most normal golfers. It maybe the people you play with are mostly single digits and want to play longer tees, but it would exhaust me to never hit a 9-7 iron. Great job and keep up the good work. You are the most relatable good golfers on YT!
It is very individualistic. I love my hybrids and hit them all the time. I think it just depends on what you enjoy about the game.
@@mistahshorthitterSpeaking of awesome YT content- MSH himself? You are on my must watch list as well. You and Adam should arrange a collab!!
Yup, your driver distance is actually really good! I'm only hitting driver about 210 as a 5'5 golfer with a driver too long for me lol
@@Joe-ed1xj Thank you so much!!
@QuanNguyen-cq1ie I'm about the same as you.
Adam, your presentation style is great and I appreciate your (largely) ego'less approach to golf. Being a past practicing sport psychologist I would have to say Dr Rotella's suggestion about going with your gut is something I have tried but being a quantitative traditional scientist, I like a little more analysis in my putts. I have two points that I check and then get on with it. Regardless, what I would say about any psychological suggestion is that it is like any physical skill you want to implement - it can take anywhere from 2-3 sessions per week (practice round or putting practice session) for 4-6 weeks before you will know for sure whether using your "gut" is for you - just like a physical change; psychological change needs lots of reps and time before it can be evaluated. Keep up the great content. *Also I noticed you used my countries "Eh" at the end of a sentence - super polite and humble ... you sure you are not a closet Canadian? Ah Ha! So I went back and watched your "How golf saved your life" video which let me know you are probably Canadian or lived there for a while - I'm from Penticton and lived in Van for a couple years (now in the UK for the past 20 years). So funny that - "Eh" can identify us as Canucks.
I’m a 7/8 handicap. Many more rounds in the 80s than 70s. It’s the occasional 70s scores that keep the cap in single digits.
Loved that low punch draw sequence. Every time I attempt a low punch draw it’s quickly followed by me talking to myself about not trying to hit shots that I just can’t hit 😂
i couldnt begin to tell you how much youve changed my mindset when im out on the course, and the different sayings i use from you. I actually relay them to my playing partners to help them out as well.
keep digging..love your videos!
Good stuff here. Most people just don't understand the handicap system at all, and they tend to be the loudest haha. Fact is, we can pretty much crap the bed 50% of the time and the cap will stay around our potential number.
Would love to see a round when it all comes together for you. No telling how low you could go.
One of us! One of us! Thanks Adam, for your honesty and lack of ego. It makes your videos very relatable and truly helpful in my own growth as a high handicap but enthusiastic golfer. You did a great job staying calm and evaluating where things were going wrong, as well as acknowledging your many great shots & decisions, and despite the errors I hope walked away having had another good day in the beautiful Pacific North West.
Adam
I love your attitude - it is just a game after all . Keep up sharing your rounds with us.
Mike
Definitely relatable truths in there. My index is 4.5. My last 10 rounds were (most recent first): 85, 80, 80, 80, 82, 76, 83, 79, 77, 81.
Thanks for this - I don't feel so bad. I went from a 5.3 to an 8.7 over the past couple of years, but I'm getting older and just can't move it like I used to. My scores are not all that different from yours (probably a lower course rating). I need to adjust my thought process and attitude. This is a great channel for that.
Adam, I love your content.
Your rounds are very relatable and I learn so much from watching your videos and your routines.
My only gripe is that there is not enough videos 😂 I was getting withdrawal symptoms waiting for this video 🤣
I can't believe your subscriber count is not higher, I wish more people saw your content as I am sure it would help so many people (Not from a Golf Mechanic point of view, Just course management and attitude). You and Mat (@GolfSidekick) make it look so easy and your game management makes total sense.
Keep up the great work, just keep doing what you do 👊
Still…one of the key signs that your game is coming together is that you have a “bad” day and manage to score ok. 86 on a tight track with slopey greens is nothing to be ashamed of.
Man! Some big life stuff happened to me last week, so I'll be traveling for family instead.. So disappointed to not be able to catch y'all at PGA West! Have a blast and be sure to get us some video so we can be all jealous!
Most golfers (me included) practice driver more than anything else. The reality is that your time is better spent practicing on and around the greens.
Your voice is all I hear when I’m working on managing my game on course. Most notable having a “goldfish memory” with bad shots. Absolutely love your realistic golf videos as it gives me the belief that achieving a single digit handicap is within reach with the right mindset and focus areas.
You should have a combo of Adam and Golf Sidekick, up the humour a level. It is a great combo
I noticed you kept sunglasses on during this round! Maybe that's what happened! ;)
😂😂😂😂 i noticed it too. Adam never plays with sunglasses…that was the issue putting, the sunglasses😂😂😂
I was just there a couple of weeks ago Adam! Almost met you in person lol
respect your honestly massive, keep giving casual golf players hope :)
Love watching your content! The planning of what I want my shot to be before the swing is something I forget regularly. Watching you helps me remember golf is more than just a swing.
Those ski goggles are next level
Question on on Swing Tweaks: Do you send them a video of a shot that you hit pure or do you send them your swing of a common mis hit?
What a stinker of a round! You are a legend for sharing this video that shows the reality of golf. I aspire to hit a +14 round from where I am now but I'm working hard and enjoying the journey. Your mental fortitude is inspiring. Many thanks
Nice to see you back on the North Shore.
I always play across the street at Northlands, its been a while since I went to Seymour.
But I often think about how many times I could play Northlands just for the initiation fee to be a member of Seymour.
I really want to do a few swing tweaks this season
Great that you are able to be honest about things like this. But weird seeing you putt like that!
Great video to show the average or not so great rounds that often show up (uninvited of course). Don’t think I’ve ever seen you putt like this before either, but that’s golf sometimes. What is a strength one day can be a weakness the next.
Love your videos!! Your modesty and relatability are really good for the amateur game. The courses you film at are always top quality too!!
Finally! A channel from the perspective of a ‘real’ golfer. Great content and look forward to watching all your videos.
First Instinct doesn’t necessarily mean you shorten your routine. If anything, it means to trust your routine. The end of your routine is your first instinct. If you then question that, that’s what you want to limit.
I mean..AMEN. I watched the Masters and someone who finished top 15 duffed one right into that little stream in front of the green and I couldn't relate more. When i saw a pro do it on the biggest stage (Schauflee or however you spell it), I was so happy to see we are all human.
I like that he threw a jab at all the creators that played at the Q.... Micah ONLY plays bad when hes not the one editing the vids... lol
Micah is absolute garbage guy shouldnt be anywhere near golf
Please don’t abandon anything your putting guru says. Take first instinct to be line only then put all of your energy/process towards pace. Match the pace to the line. Like your line on instinct. Evaluate, apply creativity to, and love your pace. I’m sure that’s what the book meant and really what you’ve gone away from of late. Keep grinding!
Great content, and a really good reminder that we should be playing this game for enjoyment, not some arbitrary score that we achieve maybe 5% of the time.
another beautiful golf course.
I played a hard local yesterday.
Front 9: +11
FIR: 89%
GIR: 30%
Back 9: +18
FIR: 29%
GIR: 0%
Shot 101.
I got lazy off the tees on the back. Fatigue is huge variable.
What course was this Adam? I know you’re a local to the Vancouver area but can’t say I recognize the course. Keep up all the good work, I appreciate your honest videos and approach to the game.
Alright, Adam. It’s 2024. Time for a new What’s in the Bag!
Honestly the score wasn't that bad
Just one of those days, you had a game plan and you couldn't execute
Good luck in your next round!
I had one of those days today, shot 77 yesterday from 6500 yards, with a bit of a wonky back today I shot 89….such is life of this 8 handicap player.
Yesterday I had 8 birdies, 4 bogeys, a triple on a 195yrd par 3 and parred 3 out of 4 par 5s, 🤬 Plus i only hit 65% of GIR thanks to some errant approach shots and Shot a -1 71 (7000yrds) The week before i parred holes 1-15 then went birdie par birdie, missing only 3 greens. Two weeks before that i couldn't hit a barn door and shot 84 (+12) thats why i love golf, you never know what game is gonna turn up, a average one, a great one or a 💩 one.
Great video Adam! How do you recover from a bad round/cold streak? I had been seeing constant progress over winter, but for whatever reason I've hit an atrocious spell recently and trying to figure out how to get back on trap. There's no real pattern - bad bunker play, ice cold putter days... I'm guessing it's possibly mental, but it's definitely frustrating! I'm wondering about trying something like Fluid Motion Factor Golf.
club hitting audio sounds really crisp and nice this video, no idea if you are using anything different.
you should do a free giveway for the last slot for PGA West, would be neat.
A little bit more of a heads up next time and I’d be interested in the PGA West trip.
Could you do a video on golf balls? Is it worth stressing over what you play? And what do you play and why? I’m around a 29 handicap and on a good day breaking 80 and a bad day could be mid 90s. I can’t justify premium balls even though I want to play well. Would love your thoughts on this topic
For sure meant a 10 handicap 😂
This course looks insane right now.
Hey I know that course. It's a nice one!
Really love your stuff and have gained so much from keeping your guidance in mind. It resonates as much or more on the rounds where you don’t play your best. Always learning!
I’m a junior and I want to go on the West PGA trip. Is that allowed?
This is therapeutic after an awful, disheartening round.
What do you recommend to find more consistency with hitting putts inside 10 feet? I get nervous over those putts and I need a sort of routine or something so I don’t feel shaky over the putt
😂 yup! 💯 correct
I enjoy your rounds...#7 seemed weird, you smashed your drive but you still had 196 in, so you only hit your drive 198?... was it more uphill than it showed?
What shoes are you wearing, and how do they feel walking 18? I’ve been looking for some new spiked shoes and always love Nikes
Hey Adam, thanks for your videos which I really like. I will be in the Kelowna area in a couple of weeks. If you had two courses to recommend, which one would you pick? Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words, Eric!
For the "wow" factor, it's hard not to put Predator Ridge (Ridge Course) at #1. Stunning views and a relatively forgiving Resort Course.
Tower Ranch is similarly pretty spectacular, although it's more divisive as there are a few gimmicky holes.
I'd skip The Rise and the Okanagan Club, personally.
A lot of people enjoy Gallagher's Canyon, but it is definitely tight and gimmicky in places, too.
My #2 course would be The Harvest. More walkable, some cool views of the lake and the surrounding orchard. A good changeup from Predator, IMHO.
Hope you enjoy your time there!
@@NotAScratchGolfer Thanks Adam, terrific. I appreciate your quick answer. Best.
Hi Adam, re: your PGA West weekend, may guests who are not part of the event stay in the room with me (I'm specifically referring to my wife and kid)? Please advise. Thanks!
Absolutely!
Club is so much more on plane in downswing
What’s in the bag?
How do you like Seymour compared to Northlands? Never played Seymour
what driver do you game?
Hey Adam, just wondering what kind of putter do you have?
Is it a Scotty Cameron phantom?
Thank you..
It looks like the new Waddaplaya (Golf Sidekicks company) putter.
You were right…my bad.
Didn’t know Adam & Matty collaborated on this new putter..
Thank you👍🏻
Man, I'd love to hit an 86 and feel like it was a bad round
Is it hot or cold? Your buddy is wearing shorts and a golf shirt. You got a winter jacket on. Ha!
We all have terrible rounds. Im off +1 but shot +13 the other day. And I had 3 very lucky birdies on that card. 😂 Coukd easily have not broken 90. Total hackfest.
Not even that far into the video but I'll definitely say I'll never make someone putt for a double from 4 feet if it's not meaningful. That's just salty.
What does bro do for money???
First 😊
