I started watching you when you had like 800 subscribers just a few weeks ago, and I gotta say, this is some of the most valuable golf content on KZread. I almost can’t believe these coaches are ok with you uploading entire lessons. It’s amazing to watch.

He claims he’s “new” to golf which in my opinion is EXTREMELY DISINGENUOUS. What new golfer you know has access to PGA Tour swing coaches and premier Country Clubs with Super Bowl Coaches (Norv Turner) as members??? Great videos but this guy is NOT bring honest about his origins. PERIOD

These lessons with Derek are absolute gold! So much insight and detail.

Great improvement on the stroke. Derek is an amazing coach and person. Enjoy every minute you get with him and pick his brain. He's forgotten more about putting then we will ever know!

This guy just explains evrything so well, perfectly easy to understand

Some players like to think more about the physical part and less about visualizing and the outcome. It depends on your personality and how your brain works best. Try not to just copy what someone else does. Do what works best for you. This is best golf instructional channel on KZread right now!

In all my years of playing golf and now teaching golf i have to say this is the one of the top videos i have seen. Very technical and easy to understand i would say i personally do 80% of this but there where a few things i just didn't think about which was super cool and definitely will implement my self.Been having to many birdie opportunities missed that i definitely need to focus alot more on putting.Most golfers can improve their game by getting better at putting and short game. Thanks guys awesome video.😎

Time to get some birdies!!

Following all of the scratch 2 scratch videos and the putting lessons are some of my favorites. The mental side of decent ball strikers, chippers, putters etc. is what separates us the most IMHO.. I am certain my brain has been getting in the way when I’m way off! I’d say after a round with ez 10 makeable putts for birdie and 0 birdies to show for it, that was it. Once you get inside the “Box”, you gotta let feel take over! Im gonna use the 3 ball drill to check my aim too! THANKS for the lessons!

Your progress with these high level coaches is insanely fast! These videos are addictive to watch and I’m sure they will help myself and millions to enjoy golf even more! Keep up the great work Jerome!

This is absolute gold!

For us that have been playing for a while, I can't overemphasize how good Derek is.

I love this putting coach. Watching these videos has been great!

These videos are gold! Such good insights from top notch instructors. Thank you for these videos.

Phenomenal content Jerome. Thanks for the Knowledge Derek!

Love this putting lesson. Very well explained and executed. No wonder Xander is such a good golfer. Well done! Are all the great instructors in SD??

This is awesome and so helpful. Amazing he did this

Great instruction, super explanation of theory etc..

Thanks Derek for looking out for the viewers

This coach is freaking great. I snagged so much info from this.

I would watch Derek all day long

Really loving your videos Jerome. I had always been an okay putter during my playing career (playing off 3 or 4 handicap) but I got to scratch working mostly on my putting and short game. The one thing I believe that got me to scratch most however is putting looking at the hole NOT at the ball. I now look at the hole when I put, on all puts long or short - sound crazy but for me it got me holing more puts and ultimately brought my handicap down to scratch. Have you ever tried it? It improved my speed control and felt more natural to me - you don't look at the ball when you throw it at an object, you look at the object to gauge the distance, so it's the same sort of theory I guess. I do agree with Derek when he says you must visualize the ball going into the hole. I do this and it really helps me. Many thanks and keep up the good work!

Just a quick point. I'm not disagreeing concerning looking at the hole but it's a lot different to throwing an object. The object being thrown is in your hand meaning you know exactly where it is. If the ball were attached to your putter and you released the ball by (say) pressing a button on your putter then, sure, you wouldn't need to look. However, the ball isn't attached to you or your equipment. Think about football. When taking a penalty kick, is a player looking at the ball or the target at contact? What about a goalkeeper kicking the ball back upfield? Is he looking at the ball at contact or the player upfield? Now if the keeper throws it out he will be looking at the target player. Why? Because he has the ball in his hand and knows exactly where it is. Now I'm a reasonable putter and I tried the looking-at-the-hole method when putting and, damn, I'd be lucky to three putt it like that, never mind sink it! I'm not saying it's bad to look at the hole but I'm also not saying it's necessarily good, quite simply because it depends on who's doing the putting. It suits some, not others. It certainly doesn't suit me. When I putt I have a point around 6" in front of my ball and the centre of the ball has to pass through that point for my putt to be online. If I looked at the hole I'd miss a _lot_ of putts which I'd normally hole.

I know this coach. He's awesome.

After 1min. I agree on everything. lines on the ball are too much. Pick a spot in front of the ball and push it/hit it/ trust it and go.

This is a very Good reality check on your optics👍🏽. Had lesson with putting Doc Jon Karlsen Norway and this was one of 10 different challenges… the thing is You need to do them for result 🎯🥊

Hey, can we see some of your practice videos? putting/driving range/pitching/chipping etc.

Awesome video. Do you know what that putting aid is called that he lines you up with?

How much does Derek charge per hour ?

Very interesting, student seemed to think it was all a joke, he is hard work.

Love putting Videos hahaha i know i need it😂😂😂

I’m really enjoying these lessons. I’m wondering what your coach would say about my putting.

Jerome, I said this before and it is easy. Take 5 steps to the hole, take putter back 5” and use your regular tempo to see how short you come up. Then from the same 5 step distance, take it back 6”, 7” until you het 18” past the hole. Let’s say it takes 7” so for those greens, the speed is # of steps +2. Take it from 10steps away and you’ll see it will take 12” to get the ball just past the hole. Equation is different for different speed greens so adjust before playing on the practice green and ensure to keep the same tempo. If going up a standard slope or back down, just add or subtract the extra inches in the equation.

Fail, fail gloriously and learn from it! These Coaches “tricks” are to show how to be successful. In your practice the understanding of what makes a miss is good, your other coach does the same thing. These guys are actual teachers giving you the tools to enable you to understand a miss and self diagnose! Trust them and have confidence to fail with them.

Love this coach and Mike. I understand making money but damn these adds r like every couple minutes lol

Awesome channel! Where can I get the putting plate tool?

1:08:10 “You could look up here and not miss it” Sir you underestimate my 3-putting ability 😂

Can you show what that plate is? I've seen the Dave Pelz one where you create gates with ball bearings, but this one with holes for tees seems much better. I'd also like to know what type of digital level he's using.

Awesome video. Really valuable information. If I could give you one bit of advice, and I understand its very subjective, but I would suggest not adding float and zoom or that 'handheld' motion to the camera. The most important part of your videos is the content, and moving the camera without purpose is a distraction to the viewer in my opinion. Please take that suggestion with a grain of salt, because I'm a bit hypersensitive to camera motion without purpose. That being said, your videos are golden. Thanks again for sharing.

I really like the idea of a plain, white ball for golf. A player can mark their ball with their initials but when they tee off or are putting, the initials must be facing the ground. I agree with Derek; these lines on the ball are training aids and should be illegal, at least in the professional game.

What we all need… but won’t do…

Jerome, do I sense that you are more comfortable with Derek than when you are with Mike? I notice you are more chatty when you are with Derek. Anyway, keep the video coming. Cheers

On these pitch and put type courses have you considered not using a tee? The practice hitting full shots off the ground might help you out in the long run on the regulation courses

Wouldn't happen to have a discount code for those putting plates? Might be able to get a little incentive. Love watching the journey brotha, keep grindin 🍻 cheers

Great video! No nonsense instruction.

Absolute gold! Yes sir! That like was for Derek! Wouldn’t have thought though if you didn’t say something Jerome.

Jerome. Does Derek have a website we can buy the practice plates?

What training aid is that (the one with the gates)? Would love to buy one

Where can I get that putting alignment aid? The only one I can find like that is the Dave Pelz version for about $50 that uses marbles instead of the tees and cannot be fixed to the green.

I see line the same way. I literally almost see the putt rolling on the line like a tiger vision putt from the video games. Aiming and speed control needs emergency room help no doubt. My good putting friends love my reads lol so maybe I’m destined to be a better caddy than a player but I’ll never quit 😂

It would be great if you had a teaching pro on your show that explained cheat codes on playing faster, for all of us to watch.

Its extremely simple, walk to the teebox/your ball directly and be ready to hit it, no reason to stand behind your playing partner when your ball is 20 feet to the right of them

bro has some serious hip and ankle flexibility LOL

What you doin at 3:34? Standing on line. Weve seen it a few times now.

People used to use the logos as an alignment tool maybe not as good but some help. What about club face groove design?? Is that an alignment tool? I think a straight logo design with pointer arrow type things is fine maybe a little overkill with the lines wrapping the ball imo

Did he say the type of carpet to get? I'm trying to find these cheap training aids lol.

what is that tape measure he is using with the string on it?

Go to your local lumberyard and ask for a chalk line and either don’t add any chalk or clean out whatever chalk is in it to start with

I’m curious how much you got from him, and still use?

yea yea yea

What are the critical dimensions of that putting plate? Like how wide is the exit gate and how far from the putter face? We need to know dammit!

What are you shooting now?

I thought it was good he was building you up with your green reading… then I could see he wasn’t happy with it really, then he couldn’t wait to shoot you down that it was all random things you were doing 😂 what a bellend. 5 mins before it he said about Rahm, how it’s all feels for him and he’s great. You were reading it well, he should have kept building you up.

I think he coaches Xander

Tell the kid to stoke the fricken ball for Gawd sakes! He leaves everything short
