Keep it simple. Keep it smooth.
Two takeaways from this great session: I like how your swing thoughts are simple and consistent each time you're on the tee. You don't replay the last shot and tell yourself "I gotta adjust this" or "Don't do that". Secondly, you keep calm and accept the outcome of each shot without overcoaching yourself. I've had the tendency to do that, so I'm gonna work on staying in the moment.

I'm 55 overweight truck driver that just started playing golf about 18 months ago. I bought a really good set of sim 2 max os iorns from 4 / A wedge and i added a 54° and 60° and a old Wilson 64° R 15. Driver and 3 wood and a 4 hybrid. Wish I would have found your channel sooner. I can crush my iorns and wedges and keep them as you say , on the grass. My driver, 3 and hybrid are hit and mostly miss. After seeing your videos, the big clubs are coming out of the bag. I started out shooting in the 120's. My last 5 rounds I have not lost ball. And just that brought me into the mid 90's . Really looking forward to some warm weather and going iorns only. Thanks
Pure, simple and honest feedback on your swing thoughts! I appreciate you sharing your videos!
A new nickname “FAIRWAY JIMMY”. Good stuff!

Again,,, I really really enjoy these lessons.
Here's my only swing thought now. Not joking: "Turn right, turn left, hit it right in the middle of the f-ing fairway. It's that easy, dude." Forces me to relax and hit an easy shot -- right down the middle of the f-ing fairfway.

Man, you are so SPOT ON! I love your videos. They are simple, and not too technical (99% of us are just average golfers). These are great tips. I have the reputation in our league of bombing my tee shots. I am always hitting 8-9 irons when other members are hitting 6-7 irons. However, I have been in really bad positions after these shots! I'm trying to club down, and go from 90% swing effort to 75% swing efforts, in order to keep the ball in play more. That 7-iron into the green on that last hole was absolutely what I'm talking about! Thanks for this great video! I'd love to see more like these (live play).
Great video - Thanks

Love this honesty and mental focus on game strategy. Very few coaches put themselves on play like here. And they dont show bad shots either. Even Rory makes many bad shots. But he can recover better than othets. So that way there is lot of dishonest coaching. Only good shots counted. 👏 for You!
Love your videos. Wasn't looking for this kind of video but said what heck go for it. Your approach to the game is real time. I cant stand all the techno talk. I just want simple tips that don't hurt your brain trying to execute them. You have a fan in me. Thanks a bunch.

I am really liking your videos and one recent tip I have from you has been very useful, but I just have one question and that is, are you a golf pro as I heard you say on one video that you had been playing for 16 years. I just assumed you are a pro but not really sure. It doesn't matter if you are not as the tips and advice are great, and work.
Your advise is good. Where is the cow pasture you're playing on?
This is very good basic advice. You don't have to hit the ball a long way to score well, especially with hole lengths like in this video. If the course is almost 7,000 yards or more, play shorter tees unless you can hit the ball along ways off the tee VERY ACCURATELY. Or be willing to have second shots that are sometimes short of the green. Practice your short game and you can still score well with a short shot and one putt. Especially on a course like this with trees in close on every hole accuracy is way more important than distance to avoid blow up holes that destroy your score.
@TropicanaEntertainment

All very helpful for real amateurs who play for fun. Thank you. One thought, though: on the courses I play on, an iron off the tee would not even reach the fairway, not at my age (I am older than you). Could you do a video in which you have to use a wood, even a driver, if that does ever apply to you?

For those golfers that are getting older (ancient) like me, I found a ball that may help your game. Its the new Bridgestone e9 ball that is a distance ball but actually goes straight. The ball does go a club long for me so practice your lag putts with it because you will hit more greens instead of being short & chipping. Give it a try.
Great tips , real golf finally. Not the fake stuff
Just started watching your content and we're exactly on the same page. I recently got into a single digit handicap, and the majority of the reason is mental....i.e. focus on the task, course management, etc......but your focus of not allowing the head to get across the line was huge for me also. Good stuff bro, keep it coming

I like that you have a process and stick to it. Are you able to tune out distractions? As in helping your fellow competitor hunt for his lost ball, or super slow groups in front? One thing I try to do is follow the advice of psychologist Bob Rotella, who makes the point that the subconscious brain has trouble hearing the word "don't." So when faced with water or OB on one side of the fairway I tell myself "hit it in the fairway" rather than "don't hit it in the water."

Idk about that 69° over the bunker. All that green to work with you'd pretty much have to fly it there. A little lower loft same swing and that's within 3 ft.
I enjoyed the real golf, course management lesson. One thing that drives me nuts personally is dropping the flag on the green. Lay it down so it doesn't leave a rut.

I don't get it. If the pin's at the front, you want to be putting. You take a club that will land pin high. If it hops forward, no problem. If you don't catch it as well as you hoped, you're probably still on the front and putting, BUT, if you take a club that's going to be short of the flag, and DON'T hit it perfectly, you're chipping when there was NO reason to be chipping, not with plenty of green available behind the pin. (hence holes #1 and #2, both short) I also think that it might be better to be 'quietly aggressive' than 70% and easy. Just my take.
Where is that golf course?
