Whoever complained about the last video is crazy
Here before the he's too bad comments 🙄😂
This was great. Honestly, very impressive
Metro!
Doesn’t the coaching of swing in between holes kind of contradict the message of ball striking not being as important?
YES! This was the video I've been waiting for!! I'm a new golfer (female) who's really trying to improve their game. I've loved all The Scoring Method videos you've done with Coach Will but didn't know if it could actually benefit someone with such a high handicap (currently 44 😬). Last year (my first year of actual play) I shot mid-to-high 120s. I decided that this year I was going to use some of the tips I've learned from your Scoring Method videos (intermediate targets, staying out of danger areas, choosing "safer" shots, using fewer clubs, etc), and I shot a 53 on my first 9-holes a few weeks ago! I know I've got a long ways to go, but it was a huge improvement for me and sparked a new obsession! THANK YOU! This video convinced me the program can actually help someone like me, and I'll be purchasing tonight! AND…my plug is to coach a FEMALE next!!! 😉
Need to bring on a worse golfer. Jk, this is a great way to think around the course for most.
That was a terrific video
Great video! Wish I was the guinea pig for this. This captures a true high hcp golfer: the swing, frustration, ego, and swing/course management. Thanks
lets do it with a 30 handicapper, thats been playing for a year that is trying to break 100 consistently. thats me lol i get awfully close 102-103 a few times i have broke 100
Great video! I love using the scoring method in my own game and I plan to use it with the high school golf team I coach in the Fall. I would love to see a collaboration with @chasingscratch Podcast. The four of you playing a round would be great content!
i think this guy is too new….
Still seeing people in the comments who just dont get it. Some people just look at everything so literal all the time.
The scoring method isnt just a course management method. Its a whole game improvement philosophy!
Great video It was great to see the scoring method used by a beginner and it was amazing to see it "clicking" in real time how it's supposed to be used. Will is one of the most patient and engaging instructors i have ever seen on any channel and fair play to the beginner to allow all of his "flaws" to show honestly on the course. Brilliant video which shows how simple (or complicated) golf can be depending on what way it's played. Well done
