Mark, like you, I worked on my chipping and I've gone from near head case to actually good - it took hundreds of hours to beat the brain into submission and re-build my confidence. I'm now focusing on putting - working on my mechanics on 4-footers, and then 8 foot left to rights & right to lefts until my brain hurts. Scratch is only a few shots away.

This is great advice. I loved the Tiger quote about being aggressive to your spots. I’m gonna try it today!

I love these videos. So much needed insight. Nobody is doing these tours of videos. Please keep them coming. We need in a week Terri would be a treat. Thanks

Respect on the topic! You have a boat load of breaking 100, 90 and 80 articles - And videos as well. This clip is gold!

Best video to date…!! Absolute class content, more of this please guys, opens your eyes to what can be achieved with the right mentality taking on different shots.

I really enjoy these " breaking.." videos, even as a high handicapper I learn so much course management from watching them.... i just seem to forget it when I get on the course !

I really love the use of stats with the mental part of the game as well as the emotional parts of the game. Really great reference video!

Back in the mid 1980's were my best years. I shot mid 70's most the time for scores and then during that time shot 2 - 69 scores with my Dad and friends. It was fun playing golf back in those days.

Great video chaps, the whole series has been very insightful and original. You guys are raising the bar again.

I love it when you two play serious golf, I get so much valued Information from them. Another great vid boys 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

A brilliant set of vlogs guys they have been fun to watch and learn and if theres one thing with this game is you just never stop learning.

You truly have the best golf content, I hope you gain double the viewers. You deserve it.

I love this type of video!! It is so helpful!

Amazing video and Insight, I would watch these every day if you keep putting them out. Great Golf 😉 keep it up

What a brilliant video. Definitely worth a rewatch ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a great message to put out there, love the on screen stats that let me pause and evaluate.

Great videos - really help you think about your game! Not that I’m breaking 70 anytime soon but still loads of relevant content. 👍

Another great insightful video gents. Looking forward to seeing more vlogs from courses around the world when you can travel again. Feeling another #LD coming

Great video lads! Very interesting to watch and a good appreciation of what is required to go low.

Excellent! Looking back over my recent rounds there’s a really obvious area to focus on - don’t go left off the tee! Cheers both👍

Great course management advice for us all. Thanks

We see Mark Crossfield and we click! Love it!👍

One of my favorite videos i have seen on this channel 🔥

Agree given that one form of golf is a game of scoring as low as possible. More content on how to do that would be great. Especially during the UK competition season.

I enjoy the vids when you get randoms of different handicaps on. Think it's beneficial to let them crack on front 9 and then give them guidance on course management on the back. Would be keen in you fancy coming to Woodbury and do a pilot episode with me 👀

24:30 Byson and Jim, this Jim must hit it a long way 🤣🤣

i enjoyed a nice 78 with like 40 putts today THANK you!!! lol 4 putt for the first time ever lol

Great vid...I'm trying to break 80....now checking out shotscope....👍👍

Thanks Mark and Coach ☺️

Liked this. Good explanation of ‘aggression’ and knowing when to go for it or not.

Loving these vids.

22 mins - “I wouldn’t of told anyone if there was no one here”. Classic Lockey!

Thanks for all the good tips. Curious about the thing on the flag what the name of this item is. Very cool that you don't have to bend over to get the ball out of the cup. For those of us with bad backs this would be great. Thanks

It would be much more enjoyable watching your videos, if you could mic up rather than "hoping" the camera will pick up that audio sufficiently

Have not collected stats and really should start as you say to lower my scores. Will do it when I get out more often, until then, its just fun guessing....

Look at this, I didn't even know I had things on this side, love it 🤣🤣🤣

Loved the video. Good info for my game. 150 and in is where I can score better. Also 20 more yards on my drives would make a big difference.

This has been a great series of videos. Regularly shooting 74-80, so the realisation of what is needed for the next level is really helpful. One negative, the amount of adverts on this video was almost unbearable. Not sure why there was so many, not had many issues in previous videos

I am always doing what coach did play good all game and blow out the last hole or two, I float in between 8 to 11 and have played off #7 but injuries are my biggest challenge haven't played in about 5 weeks 👍

A lot of beautiful references to the DECADE way of getting around the golf course

I'm trying to break 90 more often than I do at the moment. Great video Mark and Coach, golf is frustrating. You think you've got it then it bites you back.

If coach would have left his cap backwards (good ol’ rally cap) he would have made that putt! 😁 These are some of my favorite videos…love the course management with stats!!! Thank you guys!!!

Great video Mark.

I love the stats and record mine on every round, the trouble comparing it with tour players, on something like GIR is that some of the greens on the courses that they play are so large that they must have their own post code. That said, if I was playing their courses my putts per GIR would probably double :)

Superb video Shows no matter how well you play There always a hole that does you like the last one for Matt

Great video as always lads 👍

Let’s get stuck in!! Miss you saying that!

Great content Guys

play off 5 and would love to get to scratch - thanks for tips great video

My approach play is woeful. My GIR stat is horrendous. I need work on my iron and wedges but ultimately I think I just need to build up at the gym a bit and gain a few more yards off the tee so I’m not leaving myself 4/5/6 irons in all the time

Played today and shot 84 best so far 44% GIR 1.8 average puts per hole,great videos hope to get nearer 80 soon as well

Great vid. As a shotscope user these insights are really useful and great to get today’s update for SG so that we can compare to handicap banding. I was tired of just using tour players stats!

Another great video chaps👍🏻 The one thing I am not convinced with Mark is the “visiting the gym” thing. I say that because, without being rude, Coach Lockey is definitely not a gym visitor but is able to hit the ball further than most. Is it more a timing/practice issue or am I missing something 🤔

I had never broken 70 before but I have now done it twice in the past 10 days. I hope I can continue at this level and it’s not a never to be returned peek 🤪

First it's 100, then 90, 80, then par. Are we never satisfied? 😂 I've gotten a few tastes of breaking par and ... I L I K E I T !! And I want more. Gimme more!!! Oh, and keep the vids coming guys. Loving them.

One thing I never thought I'd hear on this channel... "zoom in on that gun." :D

Well played guys. I would be 4 putting some of those greens.

I shot a 78 on Saturday, my lowest score ever. My friend does not believe me even though my brother was there as a witness

What watch are you gents wearing? I'm sure you've mentioned it in another video but was hoping you could tell me.

Guys, it’s June, not November!! Perhaps another visit to B&B on the cards, bit more wind to blow that stubble off😄. I sometimes try to use slopes on greens but normally it doesn’t work, usually hit too hard and it goes over the slope so then left with a quick putt back down the slope, don’t have the required skills.

Solid rounds

There's 2 ways around Queanbeyan Golf club, under par, over par. 1 way is Over The Trees, the other is Around the Trees.

I've been able to beak 70 one time time this this year and the struggles are so similar to mine.

I hit wedges 10-1 over any other clubs in practice and inside 165 (7i and down) probably 50-1 because that's where I have to make up strokes considering my max 275 average 260 drives.

Getting lower on a weekly / monthly basis. I’d love to be consistently under 90, but my skill set won’t let it happen. However do you get points for trying???

Great video and stats! What’s the slope and cr for this course?

awesome

My best round ever was a 68 on a par 67 course. Put first tee shot straight over the fence then played the next ball 1 under. Have gotten as low a 3 under in a few rounds but never finished a full 18 under par yet due to silly little mistakes. Working on the issues with the goal of shooting par or better eventually.

Yesterday I went 4 under through 6 on the par 65 course I live on. Then I fell apart. A few days before it went the other way. I blew the first 4 holes in a row badly, then woke up and ended up 2 over. If you shot a 68 there, you'll break par soon enough. Good luck.

currently trying to break 100 with 12 year old slazenger clubs... got fitted last weekend with a guy in Southampton and i should start seeing my score drop. i do get the low scores sometimes but most of the time not.

great video . I drive the ball 180 average ,what handicap roughly do you think i should be ? Cheers

to take presure off me i alway think the hole is a par 4 is par 6 subject to SI (stroke index and hadicap) it gives me more room if needed, but i do need to push more but keeping it close or inplay is hard somtimes get me into trouble!!! do PAT PAT or do PUSH i am learning witch is my hardest holes but its putting in stratagies to give me a chance 🤔

1 handicapper I practice a lot more than I play. The only time I step on a golf course is where I play off whites. Either singles or doubles competition or where I play for the team. In practice I spend 90% of my time on putting, chipping, bunker and pitch shots. Full pitch shots from 100 yards. Pro told me once count all my shots from 100 yards or less . Try and score 36. When I break 70 I always take 36 shots or less from 100 yards. I have been +1 but that’s only playing my own course. If I only put in away scores from scratch competitions I’d probably be off 3-5 handicap.

Unlucky Coach and congrats to Mr Parfield. Very interesting. Must start looking at stats more

Seems you're moving back to HB TURBO driver i/o XL one, still good to play, right?

Use to be able to go 2 or 3 rounds without 3 putting... moved to a new course and can't get use to the green speeds. Now it's like 3-5 3 puts a round lol I've shot 80 with 37 putts >

'Be aggressive to your spots.' I've got the Clearasil, now what do I do with it, coach?

Broke par once but never 70. Will be my goal over the next 12 months or so. Just need the shoulder to heel first

what golf course is this? it looks fantastic

I've found that one must get comfortable with their driver - you need to be hitting you FIR, and also as you say be comfortable with aggression. In this regard you need to practice bunker shots so that you don't fear bunkers around the green. Also, putting (duh) - a couple of hours a month with a repeatable set up is essential for confidence. One needs to be confident that their putting stroke repeatably hits the ball on the centre of the putter face. I see too many guys I play with pulling or pushing the putt, or stand there at address like a deer in the headlights hoping and praying that by some miracle their putt might go in. When I am at address I have complete confidence in my green reading, and that my ball will roll over my chosen spot because I spend a lot of time practicing a repeated putting stroke - my grip, my feet, ball position is in the exact same position every single time. 32 putt per round average.

More of these please.....with maybe a break 80, 75 for us in the teens

level is a win

I could do with a lesson on how to interpret the shotscope app.

I think the next step after 'Break 80' should be 'Break 75' I would break 80 a fairly often throughout the season (7 handicap) but 75 is tough. Closest has been 76 this year, 79 last year.

Mark have u sent out that Big Bertha Driver yet?

Par three is a chance to make par, if played well. A birdie is allways a bonus on a par-3. However, on par-3’s the two’s are a competition for old hags in the expat world, cause they’re the only ones, where luck plays a big role.

i can’t be aggressive with my driver cause for some reason it goes all over the place but when i hit my 3w it’s a freaking straight fairway rocket. help 😂

The par 3 where coach stiffs the 6 iron to 12ft. Coach takes a divot, mark sweeps it. Can you do a video on the importance of divot taking, and is it needed. As this is a part of the game which baffles me. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Trying to break 90 consistently.

I thought it was a bite lol hahaha

Trying to break 80

going to the gym is no guarantee of hitting it further, certainly not in the short term... I golf and gym regularly and if i go to the gym before golf I'm always shorter! today I deadlifted for an hour and then played 18 and i could barely hit the damn thing off the ground 😂

Use those new muscles you showed us to stop leaving it short 🤣

Love these types of video, but for me breaking 80 is always the goal even then probably only on a sub 6200 course, old age and a body falling apart from playing too much rugby rule out length for me these days. I get it is all about averages but not having bad misses seem the key to me, even a few yards off the fairway is a disaster if you are up against a tree and chipping out left handed where as sometimes really wild still leaves an easier shot. On my good days I just seem to get lucky with my misses.

Gents, you really need to sort the audio on your vids - half the time we can't hear anything if one of you is anymore than 6ft from the camera. Spoils what otherwise is great viewing
