So, let’s play the last four holes and talk you through all my shots. So, first of all, we’re going to zap the flag. And that is 173 playing 169. So, if I move the pin to 173, which uh there we go, it tells me that I’ve now got nine yards short of that pin and 16 yards long of that pin. So, I don’t really want to be messing with anything short of this pin because there’s water drop offs looking like it’s running back towards that water. So, I can’t be short. So, I’m going to be playing that sort of 173 to the back yardage. Now, I’m also going to tee my ball up on this one. Not all par threes I tee my ball up because depending on how I want the ball to react. So I want this to go sort of my normal to long end of my distance which means if I tee the ball up it will catch slightly higher on that face lowering the spin a little bit and getting that maximum sort of distance. If I hit it off the floor and hit it off the bottom grooves it will spin a bit more and I might get my shorter distance. So tearing it up. Going for that longer distance as I don’t want to be anywhere near short of this screen getting away from that water. It’s a good strike. Slightly pulled it. So it should definitely be on the longer side. And yeah, it’s gone slightly long off the green. That’s annoying. Even with all the perfect planning, you’ve still got to execute your shot, haven’t you? The first thing I do before hitting my chip shot is assess the lie. I have a look at it. I pop my club behind it just to see if it’s sat up or sat down. And it’s actually sat quite nicely. So, this is going to be a pretty sort of basic chipping technique to get that ball on the green and let it just run down to the flag. Now, there is a little down slope which I could use as well depending on what club you’re going to use. Like if I was using a pitching wedge and landing it on that slope, it’s going to go too far and run out too much. But because I got my 58, it could use that slope to get the right roll out as well. Let’s see what we can do. Oh, go go go. Oh, just not low enough trajectory. Ah, this will be a disappointing start, won’t it? Come on, let’s roll it in. I’m cleaning my ball, having a little look around the hole, trying to gauge what the slope’s doing as well with my feet as I’m walking around, seeing if it goes to a certain part of my foot to really help me line this putt up. And it looks a little bit right to left. Not much though. Oh no. That was such a nice roll. How’s that not caught the lip? And a no. Par four. Next. Let’s see if we can try and get that bogey back. Now, if we start zooming in on things here, it gets super tight around the bunker and then wider as you go past it. So, have I got the beans to get over? 263 to get over. So, yeah, driver will get me over. Now, you could play safe and go short in this wide a bit here, but getting further down the hole is always more advised. I’m going to use the teeing ground to my advantage here. Now, if I teed up on the left hand side, I’d be blocked out by these trees. And if you’re like a slicer of the golf ball in this situation, and you’re teeing up on this side, you’re just forcing yourself to start the ball down the middle of the fairway and miss right probably. So try and start using the teeing ground to your advantage. Teeing up on the right slicer, I can aim further down the left now. Finishing the ball more in the middle of the fairway. This for me though just gives me that comfort that I can aim where I want to and just try and send it there. Oh yeah, that’s a perfect ball over the bunker. Easy. I’m probably going to get told off for going too close to the green in my buggy in a sec. But that ah there it is. Approaching the green return to cart path. I got quite close to my ball. That is now in birdie range. What a stunning approach. So, even though I’m close, I’m still going to zap my yardage. So, it’s 51 playing 50 yards, 58°. And because this is on more of a down slope, I feel like I can sort of play this in a little bit lower, get it to pitch sort of midway up the green. It should check a little bit and just release out to the hole. So, we’re going to go a bit lower on this one. Keeping that weight forward. Tilting my upper body to match the slope a little bit for this shot as well. Get just making sure that I strike ball first. Pitched it halfway up. Should roll out. Here comes that birdie. Oh, stop it. locks. See, if you analyze everything nicely and execute, unlike my T-shot on the par three, you get amazing results. But if you don’t execute it, then you’re hopefully giving yourself more chances to recover. Unfortunately, I didn’t get up and down on the last, but I probably gave my big gave myself that bigger opportunity because I gave myself more green to work with and that easier shot. I just didn’t execute it unlike that one. Stop it. Back to level. So, we’ve got a par five up next. And there’s no real trouble going on on this hole. It’s just like there’s a wider part of the fairway here, which is uh 340. Not quite going to hit it that far. Uh if I go back to sort of 280 odd carry, then yeah, it’s going to be tight. I need a good T-shot. this driver all day long, but there is out of bounds up the right. So, my aim is going to change slightly. I’m going to aim more up the left side of the fairway rather than the middle to slightly right, which I would normally. And if I miss it left, it’s not a problem. You’ve got sort of the barky stuff that you’re going to end up on. But that’s fine. I just don’t want this ball going out of bounds. That’s the only place this ball cannot go. and in the lake obviously in front of me, but that won’t happen. Oh, that is up the left. The out of bounds and the multi-million pound houses might have scared me a little bit on that one. As we said on the tea, you can go up the left and you’ll be in the barky stuff. And yeah, there’s a few tree problems, but it’s not the end of the world. So, 250 left in the middle of the green. H I was hoping to try and get on into and make birdie again, but going to have to move it a bit right to left. There are bunkers up and around the green, but I’m just going to try and get as close as I can. I think five would three would a bit out the question. So, a five iron it is, I reckon. out to the right of this tree. Bend it back a little bit. It doesn’t need to be over the top, but if I can get a bit of a draw, then we are all good. Little bit of a draw out to the right. Coming back. Should be in good shape. Shame about the drive. What are the chances? That one tree is there and the pin is right behind it. Look, like come on. And 61 yds to the middle. Flag is 68. So another 58. And I’m just going to go around to the right. I think of it is probably the safer bet. Might be able to draw it around slightly. Not going to do anything crazy though on the green. Two putt. I was out of position. Don’t make bogey on a par five. Oh, I played it nicely. Oh, I played it really nicely. My wedges are on fire. I could have been more aggressive on this approach. You don’t again not knowing the course. This green is pitched right into you. So, that ball stopped a lot quicker than I thought it would out of that rough. And that’s why. All right, right to left up the slope. Don’t like missing low. So, let’s give it a bit of extra right to left, especially as the greens are quicker than what I’m used to at the moment. break. Oh no, that’s a shame. That would have been a great birdie off of that drive. Okay, final hole. And it’s a dog leg to the left if we zoom in on this bunker. What we at here to get over it? 213. So that’s easily carryable. We move up the hole a bit. Probably to around here. What’s that at? 296. So, let’s go left of this bunker and around here. 262. Oh, we need to go real left of that bunker actually, don’t we? So, I can see the green. What is the green like going straight at it? It is too far, but too far a 352. I’m not making that. Okay. So, it’s I’m taking driver. I can’t remember if I mentioned this, but I’ve changed my grip with driver because my grip’s more on the stronger side of things. And for anyone that doesn’t know, stronger grip on your lead hand is sort of seeing for all your knuckles, basically. And that’s going to twist loft off of the club face. And drivers don’t have any loft on them anyway, really, do they? So, it was making it really hard for me to manage my delivery and getting loft on that club. It’s making me bend side bend loads to try and get some loft on this club. And then I was finding it hard to control the face. So I’ve weakened it with just my driver. I know I towed it on the last but it has been having an impact on my strike location too. Moving it more towards the middle and slightly heel, which again is what I like. And if I can get used to it, I can just aim down the left more and pummel a fade out there rather than be scared of the duck hook with the stronger grip. Lovely. That should be perfect. I hope with irons I’m keeping my strong grip because there’s loft on them already and I’ve got the speed to control it. So, irons I’ve kept my stronger grip, but driver I’ve gone weaker. Let me know in the comments if you want a more in-depth video on that. I thought I’d hit the perfect line, but I haven’t. And now I’ve got a tree problem. There is a lot of wood chips here. So, I can move these and hopefully not move my ball. And then I’ll get a nicer strike on the back of it. This could be a problem. This one. Is that a problem? No, that’s not a problem. And these might not be a problem either. So now stop moving. Come on. Don’t you move. It had a little oscillation there. So now that shouldn’t affect my ball too much hopefully. Keeping it low, chipping it forward. Can I get it on the green? Just need a general yardage here as well because I’m not like pin seeking or anything. So 89 to the front, 120 to the back. And I feel like a low chippy eight will keep it under this first branch and under the tree and get it rolling up. I’m going to go out to the right. Slope of the fairway is right to left as well. Putting it back in your stance will encourage more of a draw as well. So, aiming out towards the right of the green. Trying to keep it low. Run it 100 yards. Have I played a lovely? Oh, I’ve played a lovely. Oh, I really have played a lovely as we’re driving to the green for that birdie put to finish one under.

Can we finish the trip as I’m going home after this with a birdie? Now, this is downhill. It looks pretty straight. I’m even going to double check, you know. Is it pretty straight? It’s pretty straight. Come on. In you go, little ball. Cuz that is one hell of a recovery shot. In you go to finish the trip. Thank you, Quinttera Darago or Kinta, I think it’s called. I always call it Quinttera, but it’s Kinta Darago. And this is the south course. In it goes. No. And I’ve ripped it past. That is disappointing. Unbelievable. Snuck it in the side for my paw. Well, thanks all for watching. I’ll see you in the next one.

  1. More of this type please – great to hear your planning / course management thoughts. And entertaining as usual. Thanks.

  2. I change my grip to change shape. Strong = draw, weak = fade.
    What do you think about that, Coach? Mad or valid move? Seems to work for me

  3. Great video Coach. I like these as refreshers for sure… Especially when you get in a bit of trouble to see how you get out😊

    I'm curious… For amateurs – shorter shots(wedges and pitches)… Do you have a thought on how far back in our stance we put our club? I'm thinking that I should put the club farther back in my stance(at least one summer cases to make better contact)… Maybe that's just me 🤪

  4. yeah these are good. Nice playing. Seems your course management has got a lot better from the early days on Mark's channel, blasting drivers onto balconies…! 🤣

  5. WOW LOCKS you must be talking about CROSSY. LOL. I noticed in the video of you Crossy and Rory how straight and long you hit the ball. Crossy has gained distance and you have maintained you distance advantage over him. You were the short game master but that has become not what it was. SO what is happening there ? regards and I have thumbed up.

  6. I'm a huge fan of course management videos. Honestly, I try to avoid swing mechanics videos as too many cooks in that kitchen make a huge mess of my swing.
