*I know if you can just implement ONE / TWO you will break 90!*

Alex just want to say after watching your video yesterday about marking the ball in the bottom lefthand quadrant I had my best ever round by 3 shots that's in 25/30 years. Thank you very much

@@AlexElliottGolf thank you I play off 20 and I shot 9 over par

Tip number 6, put a 7 wood in your bag. I am a retired, short hitter, and the 7 wood is my favorite fairway club for 190-200 yards. So easy to get in the air. My 4 and 5 irons are collecting dust now.

Or buy some hybrid irons, game changer.

This is probably the best video I’ve seen from you - straightforward, common sense advice which, if followed, will definitely be of great help in reducing our scores. Thank you.

thanks so much!!

I’m working on getting better and consistency, your tips are helpful as an older and novice golfer you’ve been a help, now to try my foot work on the wedge shots you were doing to see if it helps, Thanks for your great videos

Hi Alex, Thank you for the tips. I struggle with chipping. Especially out of thick rough... Can you do a segment on chipping out of thick rough around the green? Thank you!

Alex, this is exactly what I've been working on for a while now, and I shot an 83 two days ago. I believe I would have broken 80, but the greens were so darn fast and hard to keep on line. These points you gave here are awesome!

I feel like I've recently forgotten about every single one of these tips in my recent rounds because I've just tried to focus on hitting the ball more consistently. Back to basics for me, great video!

What I used to do with par 5 holes was to divide the distance by three and use a club that would provide the distance. If there was a hazard in the middle of the hole, like a stream, lake or sand trap, the I would adjust the club for that to take it out of play. My problem was not putting (I averaged between 25-30 putts per round). My problems were hitting direction (I mostly sliced), especially on holes heavily lined by trees on both sides, and not hitting out of sand traps decently. BTW, that was over 30 years ago. I still have my set of clubs that I've had since the early 1980's. A great job with the instruction, as usual. Thanks for the video.

Fantastic, underrated tip to club down on toughest holes. Simple but hard to put to practice when your buddies are pulling out driver or long irons on every hole!

Good stuff. I've almost given up trying to be a hero, bombing distance, almost for the sake of it. Great tips. I've been working hard the last month on putting and short game. Really does make such a huge difference. And another one. I've ditched the driver on the course. Only work with it on the range. I won't give up on it, but it causes me more grief than it's worth at the moment..

Brilliant Alex 👍👍

Great video course management is one of the best parts of my game. Unfortunately because I don’t hit it that far I have to rely on my short game which again is very good. However when I play a lower handicap or longer hitter I cannot always get up and down from 50/70 yards so sometimes they have a free put and this puts me at a disadvantage over the course of the round.

I bloody love this channel

Happy to help!!

My course management isn't brilliant. After seeing this great video I am refocusing and hopefully going to get some shots back. Thanks Alex.

Great tips!! What is a MacKenzie on the green that you had to get across?

You should do this with someone who hits it that far, you hitting a hybrid 200 vs a golfer that carry driver that far is a different ball game, 3 wood is then 180, 5 wood 165, 7 iron 130 for example, the length is a different game, noone hitting driver 200 is hitting 7 iron 150

The flop is a lot more exciting to execute than the chip n run. Scoring is definitely the objective of playing a round but it's a lot more fun if one can score by executing at least a few pro like shots once in a while

All good.

Alex what is weight distribution when playing fairway wood or hybrid as I think this might be the reason why I’m still hitting the grass before the ball even though I’m setting up my stance correctly

Thanks for answering my question! Get your questions in guys.

My pleasure!

Do you have a video that helps fix hitting the ground first before the ball with the irons? I am having a consistent problem with that right now.

@@AlexElliottGolf Great! I can’t wait to watch it. It’s definitely frustrating watching me hit the ground then ball. It’ll go straight but I lose a ton of distance along with digging up the ground.

Sergio Garcia says he hits down on driver, as he hits more fairways, very Jack Nicklaus in his approach, rather than teeing it high and hitting up on driver

Alex, I’m just about to hang it up. Playing golf on and off for 30 years. I’ve been playing the best golf of my life this year. NOW after taking 3 weeks off for a rib problem, all I can do with my irons is hit fat shot after fat shot, I would rather take a beating, I hate fat shots with a passion!!!!!

@adiew4400

I have the same problem,have been half decent but now all I do is fat shot more often than not especially 8,7,6 irons 😱 and I honestly don’t know what’s changed or how to correct it 🤷‍♂️ perhaps Alex can help us out with some tips ?

This is literally my goal for 2024!🤙🏾

If a mid to high handicapper could go around a course without duffing any shot at all, they would stand a great chance of breaking 90, also taking an extra club into every green and no three putts, they could shoot mid 80's. If.!!

How do you hit a 7 iron 150 yards if you only hit driver under 200 yards?

my current nemesis is known as "devil's dogleg," where the water along the left, and the hillside on the right, leaves me counting by twos as often as not.

Shot 12 over at the weekend with a double and a triple on my card😂

Great tips but it all goes out the window when you push/slice or pull hook or top the ball into out of bounds even when playing a conservative shot.

Alex, We spend most our time in the ROUGH ! could you show us how to get out of, ball high grass and higher ? with 60yd wedge . with a 150yd iron ? with a 180yd hybrid/fairway wood ? Our Fairways and Ruffs are Not like Carpet !

I would love to see a video on how to hit the clutch putt or the clutch chip.. the one on 17th or 18th... What do you do to make it? The mental aspect. :)

Thanks Alex. I’m playing 27 holes today and will take all this with me to the course. 🏌️‍♀️
