The putting one. switched to TM stripe balls to force myself lining up the short ones. The fact that they are also lovely feeling balls doesn't hurt either.

Alex Elliott and Danny Maude. I call you both The Dynamic Duo! I've gotten so many tips from the both of you that my game is improving by leaps and bounds. Right now my driving is the weakest part of my game, but thanks to the both of you I'm working on it, and it's getting better. Thanks, gentlemen!

Thanks 🙏🏼

Brilliant video as always Alex, thanks mate. Broke 80 (77) after a year or so of way too much playing according to my wife.

"Less is more" is probably the best advice you could give a golfer for sure! From my own experience, I can confidently say that this works!

Alex I started watching your videos …so impressed with your teachings the best improvement I got from the driver by addressing 6 inches away from the ball by doing so i am hitting 30 yrs further and straighter I was always slicing and loosing distance …you have become my Gokf Mentor …I am struggling with irons now dont know why duffing them and hitting flush if the fair way ….depressing..need your help Trevor from Canada

Much appreciated

Alex, just got back from Myrtle Beach golf trip. These tips absolutely work. Thank you, for this channel.

Great video! I've been really frustrated with my game lately. On the range I hit the ball great, then fall apart on the course. Would really like to see more videos on game management. We spend so much time on drills and technical things in the swing, we forget about actually PLAYING golf. Thanks so much!

Unfortunately only you can summon the focus required and ability to not "feel pressure" on course! I too struggled with this, after 25 years I've learnt to treat every round like a practice round, laugh at the bad shots and move on, try not to take it too seriously.. there's always next time! Until I did this, I couldn't get my HC lower than 10.. I currently play off 3 and the only difference is I can now laugh it off! Keep up the good work mate and just enjoy your time on course 💯

Ok it’s a deal. I’ll try to play boring golf to get my consistent best scores. Last year I finally shot 77 on a really good course (par 72) lol I’m 47. So this year I want to stay around 80 or lower. Thank you sir. I’ll try this. Soon as my golf course opens in 1+ months:( ps I’m Canadian:) lol

Brilliant simple tips from a returning golfer - especially the ball/ putter lines -thanks a lot

Great information . I need to implement these tips in my game . Shot 85 with 4 doubles .

Great video!

I call it “ playing in my own shoes “. Stay even keel with no hero shots and play improves !Thanks Alex for all the swing tips throughout the years.

Was just giving similar advice during a lesson. Took it out to the course the next day shot 39 on the front but then forgot about everything and shot 52 on the back. Happy with myself and thank you for the video

Good video. The 6th point may be the mental game. So often if you are having a good round you get nervous and it all goes wrong! Containing your nerves is paramount

Thank you!! Yes David that no.6 point is crucial

Your driver swing speed follow-through tip is fantastic, never considered this a way to increase club head speed. Anxious to try it tomorrow!

Practicing effective course mgmt, in and of itself, took me from mid 90s to mid 80s consistently. After that, it's keeping the ball in play, sticking more approach shots, and improving the short game to break 80

Hey Alex, where should my eye position be at the time of strike when hitting irons & woods? I have used a variety of positions in order to accommodate my swing as I have been trying to improve and find my swing. I have used C. Ball, back edge of ball, front edge, 1” ahead, and 2” ahead of ball.

The y method worked amazing well. Up and down about 75 percent of the time once I got it failed in a bit. Thank you!

Great tips Alex, I look forward to making myself only go for the middle of the green. Quick request at any stage if you could advise on any long iron set up shots 2 iron,4 iron (in particular from fairway) as I'm currently struggling with driver and woods

Another great piece of advice. Been out of golf for 4 months coz of shoulder is raring to go after watching you teach

Could you show me how to read a green. To many 2 & 3 putts thanks great video as always

Ha! "Less is more!" has been my mantra for years -- and always in play on the days I have the best rounds!

Great video mate, great tips. Since I focus more on my short game, my scores improved so much. Normally, first hole at the local club, I take 5i, freeing up my mind with that first drive of the day nerves. Will definitely take your tips to the course this weekend

Straight fire

Play in a local St. Patrick's Day event .. held yesterday .. may playing companions started drinking on the first hole tee box, whiskey provided for purchase by tournament ... I hate to admit, I'm the only non-drinking Irish I know, so I stay sober... during the round only 3 shots of my playing partners were used .. 1 bogie on the day and a half dozen birdies ... I made putts from everywhere and killed my drives without effort.. when we had trouble on some holes, I'd drop a 60 yd pitch to 2 feet.. the question is: How the hell did I do it? That's at least 10 shots below my usual best scores and I have absolutely no idea what I did differently. Only the results were changed, everything else felt exactly the same as usual; Nerves and everything. Should I just thank St. Pat and go on?

That first green is a -4 on the stimpmeter.

Great tips as ever Alex. Hope your new arrival is all good. Do you live near Mottram? I’m in Bollington and a member at Shrigley Hall. Keep it going pal 🤝

Great video my course management is very good, however because I always go for the middle of the green I very rarely go in any bunkers. However playing foursomes this is where the wheels come off if my partner puts me in a bunker I very seldom get out. The bunkers at my course are reverted faces and very steep. Please could you do a video on getting out of bunkers. I really really hate bunkers!

Hi Alex, thank you - that makes a lot of sense I now have a better understanding of how to play them thanks@@AlexElliottGolf

Going on a trip out of the country, going to take my clubs. I want to make my golf bag ligher what clubs should i leave at home. I have all irons, and 3W. 5W 7W . Should I leave these clubs at home or take all of them.

I need tips on making it go up.. fed up of being beaten in stableford by the 25 handicappers 😂

One thing I need answered. When putting, you say to line up where you want your ball to start with the line on the ball. Then line up the line on your putter with that line. However, what if your eye line isn't directly over the ball. Some people put with their eye line inside the ball. Do you recommend ALWAYS having your eye line directly over the ball? Because, if your eye line is inside the ball, the line on your ball should point at the target, but be inside the middle of the ball. Sort of like lining up the ball line for a drive. Or, am I over thinking it?

Just get your eyes over the ball like almost every lesson teaches you

​@@obijuanperoniHow about this from top pga coach Scott Foley. "You might have been told that when you putt, your eyes should be over the ball But if you set up that way, your perception of the putting line can get distorted. When you lean over a ball and turn your head toward the hole, your eyes trick you into thinking the cup is left of its true position. This visual distortion can make you pull the putt. Instead of positioning your eyes directly over the ball, do what most pros do and set them several inches to the inside. This is especially important over those short putts where you can't afford to be off line by more than an inch or so. Try setting up this way, and see if it doesn't get you sinking more must-make putts. So, there's that.

@AlexElliottGolf

It’s a good point to be honest, yes just use the line on your ball and have your eyes over it if you can, just line up as close as you can, it’s not as easy as that i know

There is not enough game management and tips around on utube, as you say Alex everyone is looking for the perfect swing but shots are lost mainly on short putts and stupid decisions . 👍

Short putts killing my game. Is the speed supposed to still be 12-18 inches past the cup?
