Loving the information from the inside. Breaking down the way a tour works out. Key information on how to plan out your way to get set for a tour Q-School. Everything from understanding the expenses and also the best suited plan for what you do in order to prep for not only the course but, the mindset for the upcoming events. Really, loving your channel from the inside. Best of luck to you.
Thank you Daniel 👊🏼
Your plan sounds good, keep going straight ahead.
Always love the insight. Such a different view than anything else. Thanks again
Glad you dig it Cory 👊🏼
That drone game is Lit! Keep grinding bud and best of luck for Q school!
Just wait until you see some shots from the PGA Show 🔥🔥
Brilliant video again! Practice strong and lets get Q school done🤙🏻
Thanks Charlie!
Best of luck Andrew, looking forward to watching the journey!
Thanks Lukes!
Really enjoying your content - keep it coming!
tQ Graham .. may GOD bless u..
Love the vid... Interesting to hear about preparing and the intricatese that go into...
Thanks Dennis. It’s certainly a topic that’s common, but there’s very little knowledge about exactly how it works!
Best of luck in Q school!!!you got this!!!
Thanks 👊🏼
Awesome video. Q-school and the progression is a complicated process these days. Explaining it isn’t easy. I get lots of questions from young pros about it. In my day it was much easier, I must say.
I know you’re going to it hell and everything you have. You have to do Q-School, US Open Qualifying. Stick to your plan and you’ll do great. 👍👍
It’s a complicated beast nowadays! Haha
Andrew Jensen and wait until you get to the Web.com and PGA Tour final series sorting out who goes where the following year. Boy that is a minefield... 😳 😂😂
Graham Arnott e
I like your range etiquette. Hitting in straight lines. Wish more people would use the range that way. I played North Hampton for the first time this week. Great track; I'll be back.
So awesome to hear you enjoyed it!
4:40 how did you do on the two starts, did you make the cut?
Thanks for useful tips
Excellent video man. Really pulling for you man.
Thanks so much Camryn!
I know Q school is super stressful for players trying to earn a good spot in the card ranking. Good on you for getting the first part of the process in your favour - It will hopefully make a difference in the end.
I sure hope so too 🤞🏼
I think we all clicked this video, see what are the requirements for qualifying for Q school. What are they? That would have been a good Episode 1
If you're at sawgrass, tell my buddy Devon hey. He's one of the asst. supers out there.
Shoot 65's constantly and you'll get your card! Keep swinging! All the best! DC
David Curtis lol
Best of luck at “Q” school. Following your Vlog motivated to play competitive golf.
I recently played in my first am tournament.
Completely different way of playing golf.
Always wanted to be that journeyman who bounces around mini tours, begs steals and borrows just to get to q school. After several tries, finally getting my card only then do I have to struggle to make Monday qualifiers. Getting that last spot on Monday qualifiers to maybe, just maybe sneaking in to make the weekend and finishing barely enough to cover expenses home. Aahh the nomadic lifestyle.
thanks for the info. I decided to quit my job as full time youtuber and focus only on golf. I just broke 100 from the womens tees last week for the first time so at this rate I can shoot even par in a couple weeks. I look forward to kicking ur ass at q school. thanks you
Breaking 60 by March at this rate 👊🏼
If you don't make it you can always win the lottery.
Wish you best of luck Q-school!
Thanks Les!
Fantastic ! Thats how plans work! Gud luck
Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Super contenu AJ ! Continue les efforts nous te suivons de près
Merci Eric!
Haha, I just discovered this song yesterday. Super awesome you used it in your video. Keep doing what you're doing big man!
Such an amazing song! I want to use it in ever video haha
What was is like the first year at q school and how did u find out about it/ decide to enter
Nice Frank! I’ll tackle that for sure 👊🏼
How do you sigh up for q school for the Mackenzie tour? How many spots are available at each venue?
It’s on their website. 132 spots in each field.
how do you enter q-school in united states? Is it a different entry than Canada?. Ive googled it and seems like its hard to find registration or information on it. Thanks love your channel!
Well this was PGA Tour Canada, so that’s still a PGA sanctioned tour, US based site info. The other US based tour would be web.com and that info is up on their site later in the summer as Q School approaches in September
Is there a maximum Age to play on those tournaments?
whose thanks Graham!!
Good luck
Have you played the Valley course now that it’s later in Feb? All the best!
Finally getting out there this week 👌🏼
what was the intro song
Do you feel that having one stock shot shape in a tourney like this, or would benefit you or do you feel it is important to move it both ways? Best of luck as well!
You should always be able to move it both ways if you just, but having a ‘go to’ shot under pressure is key. I want to see a fade when I’m playing my best golf.
Do you remember what your handicap was or what you usually shot when you were like beginning high school? Thanks
I was maybe a 4/5 handicap around 13years old. I think I got down to scratch at 15, maybe 16.
How did you do?
What types of tournaments are you playing in? You mentioned it a few times in this video.
Will just try to tee it up in some Florida mini tour events
Do you play many money rounds with other aspiring mini-tour/Canadian Tour/Web.com Tour players? Would that get the juices flowing?
I don’t. It doesn’t really do it for me... not to mention I don’t have a huge network of buddies that are tour players as well here in Jax
Yo Andrew how do sigh up for a mini tour at your level, what scores make money.
Gotta do the google research. Pull up old leaderboards, etc.. check out my November q&a, I talk about what goes in to choosing a tour.
Ever get tempted to swipe a few of those Top Flites from the range and stick them in your bag?
Every. Damn. Day. lol
I love your videos but how much time you use for your videos that you can use to train moore and be more focused when you only train and don’t film around the whole day ?
If you only saw the full thing. Capturing that b roll doesn’t take much time at all.
I’ve been doing it for nearly a year now, and have figured out how to film without it interfering my practice. Filming the confessional style things is easy too. Everyone takes breaks, I use those breaks to film those segments.
What did you shoot? What is like the average cutoff score around the 17 spot?
Around even par. Depending on the location. The second and third stage is look -5 and lower.
Andrew, I have played Dye's Valley and I love the course! I have a friend coming to stay with me in Jax to play the course before Q-school. Let's link up. -Dave
Sounds good!
Cool. Just messaged you my contact info.
If you tell the course that you are prepping for a school will they let you play for free?
Not likely. We get one practice round the Monday before the event. The rounds I want to get in will likely cost me a reduced green fee
where do you practice in JAX. Just played Valley course: much more in front of you than most Dye courses; easy to learn where to miss; much easier than Stadium to recover. Luck to you
I practice at North Hampton up in Fernandina. Can’t wait to get some reps in at the valley course 👌🏼
Andrew Jensen Thanks for the info, Andrew. Played Amelia National 10 days ago across street from where you practice. greens there are identical to Dye Valley in speed and grain. hope that helps getting more reps in your ‘hood
Thanks Joseph. Amelia National is 👌🏼👌🏼
I have been playing for 2 years and 3 months ...I played my first tournament ever 3 months ago and won with a score of 88 with 18 handicap cause it was my first time playing a tourney and most of the players were 10 handicap and under with 2 scratch players.....and now since they saw my game ...they put my handicap at 12 .... I shot my best 78 about a month ago ..I had a -1 thru 9 with one bogey and 2 birdies and all pars..... I am so addicted to this sport ..its all I can think about ...I caught up and passed my friend who has 8 years experience on me and he is pretty good ....lately I been playing in the 85 and under constantly ....every once in a while I might shoot 90 and up but for most part I have been improving drastically with no professional training just youtube videos but mostly playing at the course ...people tell me I'm a long hitter cause I can hit my pitching wedge 160 easily and accurately and I play with standard beginner set and just learning about technology in golf and that with better golf set I will decrease my strokes even more ...Im really considering this but I dont want to get ahead of my self just cause Im playing good on local golf courses.. ... what do you think is the best approach to see where Im really at and how far I need to go to be a golf pro ?
There are so many paths to be a pro, I’m 18 years old and when I was 16 my parents got me into the pre qualifying for Q School. I was only a 3 handicap at the time and I ended up making the cut at like +2. I actually ended up making it to the 3rd round but on the last day I shot a 75 to miss the cut by 2. I suggest get yourself a coach, I’m self taught myself and I’ve been playing for 4 years but the best way for me to get better was to not hit balls all day on a driving range but go out and play a round and then work on what you struggled with and just dial in everything else to keep the flow going. Honestly there are so many pro tours that are a possibility. Do some research. Look at the Mackenzie Tour, Asain tour, web.com, Monday qualifiers are a one day tournament that gives like 2-4 golfers a chance to play in a pga event.
YAYarea 510 consistency is very important. Once you are able to shoot below par on a good solid round and make little mistakes with more pars and less bogeys, aim for the smart spots on greens. Don’t flag hunt golf is a game of patience. The only flags I go for are front middle, middle middle, or back middle. Anywhere else and your miss or putt becomes longer. Always think about where your miss will end up so you don’t have a tough second shot. Golf is so mental , when you’re putting pick a line and don’t change it. Trust the line you pick and choose a pace that you feel is good. Make sure your eyes are directly over the ball while you’re putting as well. All these tips are what I have put into my game and they have drastically changed the way I have been able to play. I went from being 14 shooting 100 everyday with a 20 handicap to 15 shooting mid 80s, 2 years later and I’m shooting high 60’s low 70’s. trust me you need confidence to play this sport, be confident in everything you do and it will be so much easier.
Which course is the B.C qualifier at?
Crown Isle in Courtney 👌🏼
What are the handicap requirements to qualify for Q school?
No real handicap requirements. Pros don’t carry handicaps, but as an amateur, you’ll need to be below scratch to have any hopes I think.
5:25 were all those divot stripes you?
Yes!
Andrew Jensen wow impressive
Dude I’m from Jax let’s link up. I’m not great but I’d love to get some pointers !
So do you have a job while preparing for Q school? How do you go through Q school if you have a job? Do you have to quit?
Every case is different. Some players are lucky to be fully committed to golf as they prepare, some players work part time... there really is no "set" way, nor a right or wrong.
If you are in Calgary, the first beer is on me.
Sounds good! Hopefully I’ll be out there for the ATB event
0:00 4:59
Wishing you luck! Do work!
Thanks John 👊🏼
refine the technique but dont overcomplicate it. sawgrass is doable. simplicity. fairways greens fairways greens fairways greens. As long as you keeping tee ball on the planet you got it. Putting will help you reach your dreams (:
Thanks Kolby!
Do you really train with Top Flites?
That’s what my course has for range balls 🤷🏼♂️
I assume you have your gaps figured out man! Good luck with Q School (and use TP5's instead, LOL)
I have all that figured... can only use what’s in front of me my man. TP5s on the course, but not everyone has range ball access to tour balls
Of course! But that must be tough to get around, do you know if it happens to all your peers at Q school? I can't get around my horrible range balls. I game Z Star XV and boy it's a different sport. xD
It’s the case for every professional golfer not practicing at a TPC course, or a posh private club... just the way the cookie crumbles
hey andrew, do you know someone named chris wolff?
Doesn’t ring a bell, no 🤷🏼♂️
Can't you go to the Monday Qualifier
Yeah I can do any Monday’s I would like... just a matter of the costs
Andrew Jensen how much does a Monday Qualifier cost?
Cheap compared to racing motocross which is what I did thru childhood
big divots, steep
I just subscribed today because I like watching your progress.....my opinion really doesn't matter as you have done great with your subscribers, but for me, I find the music a little monotonous.....just my opinion.
My luck I would hit the drone and ruin a very nice, and very expensive, piece of equipment.
40 second intro with that shitty music too?! Come on!
it was 41 seconds... but thanks for noticing
@@andrewjensengolf I gave you the benefit of the doubt with the scene transition.
👊🏼👊🏼
@@andrewjensengolf LOL 👍
