Nice video but I miss some calculations from your shots. What number you coming out with
Is there a specific example you wanted to know?
Good taltthrough. This is a really difficult one. I also have the aim to get below 60 on those conditions. I have made 60 a couple of times, but 59 keeps eluding me. Cheers.
Wow thanks so much Rob, this make more sense. That example shot was too accurate
Fantastic Rob brilliant Wow love watching your Golf.
Very nice playing. Great score in those conditions.
That’s unbelievable great round, those greens are impossible, love the way even in heavy winds you move the marker to just the right place.
Hi Rob, love the way you play the game, are you a feel putter or do you dot count. Love the way you move the Aimer out in high winds to the exact spot and the ball lands next to the pin, just awesome.
Thank you. I have never dot counted and instead go with what feels right to me for the pace I want to hit the putt. Some do very well with that method though and if it works for them that’s great. At some point I may use a simplistic method just to double check my intuition on horrific putts (eg if you go long on Pebble 8) as a check but for now this works for me
Great video, do you do any live streaming?
Thanks. I sometimes stream in our club discord but recently have been doing a lot of travel so with hotel wifi it isn’t really practical (meter jumps all over the place).
@@robhon wheres the best place to keep a lookout for your latest videos, I love watching them and learn a lot from them
I’ve been pretty poor at uploading anything recently, mainly a result of a lot of travelling with work but will try to do one of 40mph winds and 20 greens at Olympic! There’s a tonne of stuff to learn there
Thank you Rob would you have a game and give me some advice Super player my name on here is HONEY WINSTON
Hello. I like your style of play. What kind of device do you play on? The performance looks really good
Usually IPad
I always kinda struggle with my short game, but this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much.
So to help me understand the grid measurements in yardage, each small box is representative of 3 yards ? Thanks for the video, its very helpful 😊
Yes in almost situations that is the case. And you can see the proof on the video. There are some where the grid box will look different when you are closer to the green. Those are a different scale with the grid in total being approx 10y instead of 27. St Andrews 18 does this. You can use the same logic to check the width of a box when you think this might be the case
@robhon ok that's really helpful. Thank you so much, very much appreciated 😊
Excellent mate
If I take this long to make a put. I’ll time out and be disqualified
It takes less time if you don’t putt so often 😉
Will you consider being my wgt Santa this year? I really need more distance of the tee. I have my eye on the Ping G430 (L81) driver. Please please please help me out. Ign :cipla77
Hi Rob , I'm MAPowney51, played you earlier today in showdown said I could find you on Discord searched RobHon but no luck am I looking in the right place ? Regards Mark
Boom! Beautiful golf shot
Brilliant play Rob Super
These videos are so incredibly helpful. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome!
Tanks Rob but is 180 for all wind angle directions.?
For crosswind or headwind, yes. For direct tailwind deduct 25%, so use 225
Rob can you do a video how you work up down measurements out not understanding it all thank you
Do you mean elevation for full shots or putting?
I’d like to see you method working elevation for full shots.
Brilliant Rob
Rob can you also make a video on how many grids to move on wind angles please..
Wind play is complicated. And depends on many factors but guess I could do a simple version if that works?
@@robhon Thank you Rob
I'm curious what is the diameter of the cup in the game in relation to the IRL cup (4.75")
I believe it’s exactly the same as the real thing.
Can you offer any tips on the lie and how it affects the distance? I struggle with how much I need to add to my club if I'm hitting out of the rough or sand with 30, 40, 50% etc...
It really depends on the club you’re using, and power %, so for example a 100% wedge is impacted a lot less than an underpowered long iron. Also need to consider landing area. Let me think about how to explain what I’m doing here. I have the key stuff mapped and apply that to all the other similar situations
You make it look so easy! I'm a level 69 and feel like I'm just making somewhat educated guesses on most shots and I'm pretty well lost with chipping and pitching...
We all started like that. The best advice I can give for chipping … is don’t chip. It is unreliable for many reasons. Focus on the pitch and just dial that in
Thanks for the tip. I’ve been watching your videos and they are very helpful. Thanks so much.
Brilliant Rob can you give me some lessons desperate thank you HoneyWinston
Hello can you show why you bring flagstick back before you putt Rob thank you HoneyWinston love too putt like you beautiful. Thank you.
It’s a while since I did a short game series video so will add something on this when I get a chance, probably over the weekend. It’s basically to get a complete view of how the dots are moving over the line of my putt and focus in on areas that look important to understand. There’s also the practical thing of the aimer actually blocking much of your line to start unless you move it

I'm a big fan of your gameplay and hope to one day be half as good as you. Can you tell me why you bring the aim point back and to the side before you putt?
Two reasons: the first is the aimer actually blocks a lot of the view of your line unless you move it out of the way, so I always just do that in the first instance, then I will usually put it back somewhere that “feels about right” from the first camera angle and go check if I feel comfortable with that from the others or not and adjust accordingly. The second reason is that by dragging the aimer about you can also have the view of the dots themselves move about to a more convenient place for example so you get a good view of how the dots are moving along your estimated line rather than whatever the default view might have been

Great round. I suspect you play snooker, am I right?
Thank you. Long time since I played snooker and to be honest I wasn’t very good!
Great round Rob!
Thank you, you’re getting real good quickly yourself, keep it up!
What about us poor hackers on tablets who play an honest game and do not use spreadsheets or shot calculators
It won’t make any difference. None of the shots I’m playing require any spreadsheets and all the things I’m explaining can be calculated in your head, or at worst on a calculator. I don’t use spreadsheets either, it’s not really practical to do so on a tablet or mobile phone
Good to see how you manage the holes. Great putting
Thank you sir, pleased it was useful
Brilliant stuff 👍👌
Thank you very much for your very helpful video. Concerning your last wedge shot on the green (23 yards), is there a formula for calculating this?
You’re welcome sir and thank you for the feedback. For a wedge off the green a rule of thumb is that it goes half the normal distance but you will need to add or subtract a bit for green speeds, whether the landing area is on an upslope/downslope and of course wind. It just needs a little practice to dial in
@@robhon Thank you, Sir. Really appreciate it.
Very helpful as always. Thanks, Rob.
watching your videosand maki ng notes. Practice to improve and help represent Wesr is the Best
Hope it’s useful!
27:51 man what a round. I’m working on lowering my score to the low 60’s. I’ve been playing for 7 months and I average a 69. Level 75 master
Thank you vm sir! Chambers is a very difficult course with the equipment available to you at L75, so don’t worry. In the meantime, learning where you can miss (and not miss!) plus learning how to use the slopes to help you is the way forward.
@@robhon thanks for the info buddy. I just played around and shot a 67 on chambers. I need to learn the greens on there. Easy missed putts and I would’ve been at least a -7 or -8
Good Mr rob
Great play, do you mind sharing your calculations please?
Putting or long game? I don’t use a spreadsheet but can give a very oversimplified view of the world if that helps
@@robhon Good day, calculations on long game, with wind.
Simple calculation for full backspin is distance * wind / 180 for 100% headwind wind impact, 225 for tailwind. You will need to add more on links courses and was for lower shots such as out of rough, punch, less than full backspin
So 180y, direct headwind @ 10mph = 10y to add
Same for crosswind. For partial head/crosswind you need to reduce accordingly
I've seen many others say the 'standard' speed is 9 (as opposed to 7.9) and to divide the green speed into that (i.e. 12 spd gr = 9/12, or 75%). But I've seen you putt many times and I'm going with YOUR #s lol
Correct, 9 is wrong, plain and simple. HOWEVER, I suspect some get away with it from short - medium range because it at least means they aren’t short
Good
Another helpful video. Watching you, I’m thinking I need to be a bit braver with my lines (& power) when putting. Thanks for uploading!
Thank you. Yes I do putt much more aggressively than a lot of players. I feel this takes some of the break out on otherwise very difficult putts. But… you gotta be confident on the 6 footers coming back!
@@robhon Ha exactly - working on my courage lol
That was really helpful and entertaining to watch. Thanks for uploading!
Pleased it was helpful, thank you
Excellent! Holes in one are easy compared to albatross. I’ve yet to score a double eagle. For this hole i pay no attention to the elevation, rather just add 5 yards to my calculated shot. Based on your distance and wind speed, I would have hit the same exact club, with the same exact backspin. Unfortunately, I would have been hitting from the rough or bunker or wherever the hell the ball would land except near the hole 😂
Definition of pay to win
On the contrary, players who learn to play the game well don’t need to pay anything. It’s possible for anyone to do that with effort. I believe this one was done using a relatively cheap ball too
@@robhon the ball really doesn’t matter. But I know you don’t start with those clubs, you definitely paid for those and I’m not wrong
Nope… just learn the game properly. There are plenty opportunity to earn those clubs on the way up if you’re patient and don’t upgrade too early. Sure it takes effort but it’s honestly not that hard to do.
Solid round. You're absolutely right about the wind not affecting the ball as much on uphill shots, specifically the par 5 at PB where you mentioned it. Can't argue with some people, no use.
Thanks for sharing. Is there anything in the forums about aiming properly for crosswind? I don't have much trouble calculating headwind and tailwind, but aiming "heavy crosswind" I am not as consistent as I think I should be. I've tried searching, but the results are so saturated. If you can point me in the right direction I'd truly appreciate it. -Leftysway
There’s lots in the forums but my observations would be this: 1) A lot is just plain wrong. Very few players have bothered to learn heavy wind but many are willing to comment so inevitably the advice can be questionable. 2) Ball and spin used eg fbs vs no spin as well as whether you hit the ding one side or the other give large variations in ball flight (same for head and tailwind) so there’s no one size fits all rule. 3) The physics for a pure crosswind and pure headwind are the same so you already know much of what you need. How I learned this was by experimenting in heavy winds at St Andrew’s and just determining how much the ball actually moves vs what I expected. It’s also a good exercise occasionally to watch top players and compare how much wind offset they used vs what you would have done and comparing the likely results. Generally the wind offset is more than people intuitively think so that’s maybe the first thing to look for too
Wow amazing to watch this and your shot selections. Did you allow a few extra yards on the 9th to account for the extra distance the ball had to carry coming in from the right with the wind?
Yes you do need to add extra yardage in heavy wind to account for the ball having extra distance to travel (it’s moving in an arc rather than a straight line)
@@robhon Thank you Sir 🙏
Excellent round and solid play, you make it look easy. I'm a little envious to be honest. So far I can't do better than -15 here, few shots not close enough and a few putts I shouldn't miss add up.
