Jerome your cameraman needs a stabilizer or something. Idk if every video has been like this and I haven't noticed but every shot is super wobbly

Budget mi boi

Your passion for golf reminds me of the most important thing in golf which is to have fun！

Jerome, why do you not have a club between driver and 5 iron yet, one year into your journey? Makes no sense to me to not have a wood or a hybrid.. Also- I’d start supplementing your journey with some tougher courses. I can tell you, if you break 80 on this course you usually play at, you can add 5-10 strokes easily on a championship course. Would love to see you take those on and start calculating your actual handicap. Anyway, love the series and keep up the grind bro!

For chipping go to the UK and train with Dan Grieves. His methods have changed my game.

Dan Grieve's book is excellent. I am getting up and down to save par much more often after practicing Dan's methods.

Jerome, Jerome…the metronome! Great video/round, I see the improvements brotha. Keep it up!

Your already a single digit ball striker however you are like a 20handicap putter. You either need to lean heavily on girs and lag putting. But your putting brings back so many memories of where my putting used to be. Getting better at putting is like a spiritual adventure!😅

Good stuff. Not sure if you noticed but you counted a bogey as a par. I think the 8th hole?

Congrats, Jerome. You have worked hard and the dedication is paying off.

I definitely see the growth and improvements!

good shiet jerome. i've been following your journey for a while. started about 8 months ago myself. let's see who gets to scratch first!

Jerome, That was a great attitude shift much calmer presence. Your thoughts seemed to be focused on the next shot. I didn't see any pre-shot practice , it could be edited out, but if not 2 or 3 practice swings will help your body adjust what your mind wants to accomplish .... GREAT JOB !

“Let’s Go” way to go Jerome!!!!!!

Damn, your swing is so nice. I'm a 8.1 HCP and your swing is far better than mine. It's always my short game that saves me. Excited to see when you get that dialed in, your HCP will drop so fast.

I'm following your journey alongside you brother. Started almost 2 years ago, recently started breaking 90 on my good rounds. Really appreciate your coaching vids! Let's get to scratch together.

Congratulations 🎊

That grind ❤

Your swing looks great

Great progress Jerome! Just remember tour pros will shank the ball or hit it off line every so often. You will never fully eliminate all bad shots. It’s a matter of how good your recovery shots are that help you shoot low.

Ignore the comments haha. Your commitment to the craft (and dana) will produce sub 80 scores in no time. Awesome to watch 💪

Would love to have a timeline of between which lessons these outings were.

swing looking great 🚀

That’s a challenging course but you did good man! Love seeing your videos. How to come across you one one of these courses

Dude! The sound of your strikes is getting sick! You've come a long way. FWIW, I like the visor. Hey how do you know that the A was going 91 yds? Did you get a monitor, or were you at a sim? That would make some good cuts showing your practicing. I have been liking swinging at 80% lately instead of swinging out of the shoes too. We're all on the journey, aren't we. Thanks again for all of the awesome content!

need full scorecard updates throughout vid plz!!! Keep grinding my boy!

Good stuff. Do you think it helps to visualize your chip/pitch shots landing before hitting them?

Made a more detailed post but my pc stalled. Basically I said you've improved greatly, but practice putting at home should help. Plenty of devices to buy cheap to just line up putt and return ball to you to putt again and again to get a feel. Short gam e you mentioned is next with a coach, so hopefully that will help soon enough. For a year you are doing great

Swing is looking good man. Short game is a killer! Hope that's your focus in S3.

Year 2 is all about short game :)

Am I the only one who noticed that he missed counting a stroke on one of the holes on the front nine. I don’t know the course, but it was on a par 4 that came right after a par 3 late on the front nine. Got recorded as a par but he took 5 shots.

Loving the improvements shining through! The camera def needs a stabilizer and smoother zooming, it’s janky on the eyes

For the algo. Let's get you to 100k.

THAT'S INSANE BRO !

You go over the first green it's always going to cost you extras. It's either a snowman or a par on that hole for me.

Your swing is looking great, just need to work on that short game but good job bro.

Nice work on the 89. Compared to previous videos you played less "golf swing" and more golf on the course. Clean up that putting and you'll be under 85 for sure.

Bro your progression is great but um there's no way you break 85 without a short game!! Golf is played inside 150 yards...great stuff!!!

It’d be interesting to see your stats after each round.

enjoyed the vid... might have gotten a little motion sickness... might I suggest a gimbal? otherwise still tuned in to your progress

when u was on 9 over you got to a shot par 4 and hit driver then iron then chip shot then 2 putt and put yourself down as a par lol tut tut tut

@12.43 the hole before took 5 shots not 4?

It's great you shot 90 but at this stage it's not about the score. When I started chasing scratch 15 years ago (!) I shot 75 within my first two years (on a legit course), but I did it with a shite swing I had mastered, a big OTT, slice. You, on the other hand, have a beautiful powerful swing, so when you start learning to score, your potential will be in the 60's not 70s (like mine). I have had to completely start from scratch. Keep it up and I think you can do it within 5 total years. Bravo!

Yup glad u see it in a similar lens. My coaches and I don’t really care about the score the first year we just want to build the best foundation. This means I’ll actually score worse than most people at this stage even with all my coaching but we only look at the long term. And yeah 5 years has been the timeline I gave myself since the very beginning

@@JeromeRufin Golf is such an all encompassing sport with loads of different shots and techniques required and it's a very hard game to start from scratch. Staying motivated to keep going when it's not going well is one of the hardest things as a novice golfer. As a software engineer, you obviously understand the need to build something from the ground up, ensure it's properly tested and won't fall down in time. The fact that you have a plan and are sticking to it with a super positive attitude speaks volumes for you and will ensure that you ultimately succeed. There will be a time when score becomes much more important but for now, building strong foundations with a really efficient swing will make everything easier in the long term. Throw in a bit of short game and putting for a bit of variety in your practice and so that you can enjoy the game more on the course but these are areas that you can easily touch up in the future to shave shots off your scores. Not much point in having a dynamite short game right now if it's going to take 3 or 4 shots to get to the green! Great idea for a channel. I'm enjoying your videos from over here in Scotland and looking forward to following your journey 👍

I like the what ifs…what if you did not have double and triple bogeys….what if you did not miss those 5 footers….what if they were pars and bogeys, would that be about 85?….good game, Jerome.

Can you add what number hole you are on to the graphic . The par 5 you went 5 iron wanted to go 7 but switched to 5 punch or something? If you stay with 7 you are not long .chipping up to hole is easier.Course management requires discipline

Is that a new bag?

I need a driver lesson from you 😊

Hi Jerome your course management not working all get th ball there taking to many shot too get there

News Flash. Your not supposed to wear, Nike and Adidas at the same time. Jp, you still the man!

You know shit is workin when your score picks you up after the round.

Swing is looking better. Your short game needs a bit of work though. You could better yourself by 10 shots if you fixed up your short game.

Sorry Jerome, last thing I want to post is anything negative because I enjoy your content. But golf is also about accountability too. Hole 8 (362 par 4) you had a bogey and not a par. Start around 12:11, you'll see that it takes you three shots to get on the green and then you two putted. Sorry dude.. :D Keep at it though, you'll be breaking more than 90/80 with that work ethic.

Yup caught that too. Awesome job so far though Jerome. Hey, just a thought, when I start fading the ball mid round, I usually go to the far right side of the tee box and play the fade. Just a thought.

looks good! ... In the last 2 videos you have hit more and more fairways giving yourself more opportunities to score. When you take the driver out of your hand it makes you think ahead. and it makes you think about course management. Staying out of trouble is the way to get that score down. Not only do you play a cleaner game then you can really see where you are leaking strokes. The other thing I noticed, your demeanor from the front 9 to the back 9, totally different! Front 9 excited emotions borderline "Loss cannon" back 9 you were focused on the shot "calmness". Stop worry about what the score could be and just play the game it will come.. You mentioned there's 2 par 3s that give you trouble? think thru the hole. What is your miss, what is the play to keep you out of trouble, if I aim here can I get up and down if I miss? its not always about aiming at the pin some holes you just want to get out of there with a par and move on. once again Short game short game short game!

Almost didn’t recognize you without that visor

19:42 bro what do you mean? you've literally hit one shot so far on the back nine lol

“You can talk to a fade, but a hook won't listen.” - Lee Trevino ☝🏻You should play a scramble with a guys who have good short game and putt well … see how low you can go.

Any practice on short game would gain 5-10 strokes per round

From the video it seems your playing fast! Slow down and hold all your swings like your drives maybe?

Hey I’m a member at a private club also been golfing for a year , in the Bay Area if you would like to come play a round here let me know.

Definitely work on your pace control with putting. It looks like you're spending more time on line, which is not as important as pace. Also - why are you playing off the blue tees?

Nice round! had some great shots! What if you played two shots each hole, pick best spot each time and take that score! Probably be your lowest..and you could super aggressive (80-90% shots maybe a couple 100% drives) and just test your full potential? Who knows could be fun or a disaster but either way it would be fun to watch. This is what I like to do to believe in myself. You may be surprised how many hero shots you are capable of..

Bro manage those expectations. I’ve been golfing for a super long time and have only broken 80 a couple times. You may break 80 in the next couple months. However you also may not.

Why do you try to leave such long shots in? You’re like hit a 5 that’ll leave another 5 or so in. Hit that driver or get a 3 wood. Leave shorter shots in to the green.

Are there even fairways on this course?? That shit looks like straight rough wtf

have you thought about getting fit yet?

Will get better. Had to get a replacement cameraman for a small handful of videos because my main guy was out of town :/

So you were +13 on the front 9. And +19 on the round for a 90 because you incorrectly marked your score on the front 9. So you talking about breaking 85 is unrealistic because your 89 very well may not be legitimate. I know scratch to scratch is catchy but your ABSOLUTE ceiling is like a 12 HCP. You’re currently what like a 20? Get real

He is absolutely not. He’s not even counting his scores or penalties properly in most cases. He’s playing a simple, short municipal course that he’s played 100 times not even tough or different courses. He may break 80 a single time maybe a handful, which does still not translate to scratch. We will be knee deep in WW3 before he breaks 80 legitimately

7 iron for 210? Nah. Re-evaluate your distances.

Quit hitting 7-5 iron on par 4s. Practice driver it’s the clubs you use most every round besides putter.

I'm struggling with believing that this dude was clueless about anything golf and now he's in the low teen handicap a year later. Film crew and all. I'm not buying what he's trying to sell here in these KZread streets. 🤷‍♂

Your stroke looks really good, but your short game? I watched your putting video earlier and you now seem to have forgotten all of the pre-shot routines he taught you. Slow down and follow your routine. It will seem forced and will be forced, until one day it won’t. The routine is designed to make you focus. Find your flow. I’m enjoying your journey. Sorry, I went back and checked. The putting lesson just happened. Same advice though. Slow down. Develop a rock solid pre-shot routine and the course feel will follow. 🙏🏌️😎
