Great work, Adam. 🦘
I'm coming back to this video after shooting the best 9 of my life after watching this video. For some reason it clicked, and instead of going for the "perfect" shot, I decided to just make do with whatever I had in front of me. This video led me there so thank you Adam!! Keep it up
Do you practice putt a lot or how did you improve your putting?
Adam, when you play somewhere new or get paired up with randos, how do you explain that you'll be filming every shot? Do people ever find it weird? Just curious about the logistics of being a youtuber.
Really love the channel since I found it and truly appreciate your zen approach to the game. It's been helping me enjoy it more, too, since I am also not a scratch golfer. 🙂
As a newbie golfer myself I really love your videos. They really learn you to be patience and back off when needed.
What clubs do you have, from driver to putter?
I'm guessing an 81 on that course is still a 7.something differential.
Another ball popped out into the water at https://youtu.be/Am88Jx3BOWU?t=537
At 7.1 HCP, could you give us an idea of what distance you play from (6000, 6500, or 7000yd tees?) and what the general slope/rating of the courses you play from are? I didn't fully appreciate, especially slope/rating, how much those things can impact a score.
You sometime hit another ball into the water on your pitch shot from the rough at 8:58 lol.
yeah your scramble and short game are so dang good, that's clearly where your handicap comes from. Great job!
The mental game is so much of what gets you in the 70s. Doubles are score killers but like you’ve said, your next shot can always be the best shot of your day. Gotta stay positive!
long time watcher, avid commentor but question……what tech are you using for tee shot distances and why are you using it on all shots?
I have been watching your videos for several months now and my golf has gotten more consistant. Not only am I making better choices, but my attitude after a bad shot is litterally, "Oh well, it's not the end of the world". That has helped me lessen the poor shots afrer a bad one and keep a good attitude. It is good to see a single diget handicap show what he is thinking and what happens. Keep up the good work.
Very good philosophy to keep in mind on the course. Why all the blur-outs on 18?
Always enjoy your videos. You like Matt show us how to play and not get frustrated about bad shots. Just concentrate on the next shot!! 🏌♂⛳😀👍
I don't mean this to sound rude because 7hcp is fantastic and I'm quite a new player myself but can i ask if you still practice trying to fix your driver swing?
I only ask because you seem to stay on the same swing plane and don't have a bump/fuck to give yourself leverage on your lead foot to get any push off through extension/release.
The out to in swing plane is why so many slice like that including myself. That and the "whip" are what I'm focusing on now myself. Sorry if this sounds rude in just curious how much someone like yourself will plays with single digit hcp still practice things like that
This is really weird right, but i clicked on the description icon & expecting to find out which course this fantastic video was filmed on, i find not that…
Honestly if all my bad shots ended up live like yours I'd probably be a single hcp as well. Over here those bad shots of yours would automatically result in stroke and distance. Our courses just aren't cleaned up as well, when you hit it into the trees you might as well re-tee.
Really, you’re a good golfer, better than good. Not seeing any really bad contact, duffs or skulls on a approach shots.
I used your code for Swing Tweaks, hope it supports you. How much time do you spend practicing short game? I really appreciate this channel.
Great video! What do you use for the audio? And for the tracers?
the highlighting of tha landing areas is a great feature. provides lots of context
Do you have a home club or a course you know very well, if so would love to see what you would shoot there! Keep up the good videos anyways man!
Hey Adam. I absolutely love your channel. I took about a 10 year break from golf and having just gotten back into it I've been loving your channel, and also Bob Rotella's "Golf is Not a Game of Perfect". I broke 90 for the first time today with an 88 on a par 72! There were plenty of bad shots in there, but kept it light and positive and despite four double bogeys still made it happen and managed a birdie, par, par run on the last three. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work!
I appreciate the rawness of your videos. As someone who's returning to the game after a 30 year absence, I'm practically a beginner (the sport has changed A LOT since I first swung a club). It's nice to see others struggling with the same things I do and learning something new after every round. Gives me hope for my own game.
What course is this? Maybe it was mentioned but I don't pay attention
On swing tweaks, can you submit driver and iron swing or only one of the two?
Barely 50% of fairways hit. Only 20% scrambling. 18 bad shots. Still had a chance for 79 on 18. This game is wild.
It's really your game under 120 yds which is getting your score down. nice job. Also, you got lucky and found a number of your errant tee shots. lose a few of those like I do and it adds to the score quickly.
I notice you don’t lose a lot of your misses, though. Not a lot of drops
I am also a 7.1 and you are spot on
8:55
Looks like he shanked his ball in the creek but idk
Whatever your analysis: your good scores are simply due to you not being long enough to REALLY get you in trouble, and your exceptionally good putting…
So neat seeing my childhood course on here. Worked on the green crew for 7 years while going to school. 100+ rounds a season. Nice shot outta the bunker on 3.
whats up with the blurbox at 13:10?
I know you are not playing in an official competition, but technically you cannot hit a provisional ball if you think your ball may be in a water hazard, only if it could be lost outside the hazard or OOB. It is a rubbish rule that should have been fixed years ago but it hasn't been unfortunately.
Good video. How did you get so good at putting? I practice a lot and am always disappointed. Pitt great on my mat and much much worse on course
Ugh, your bad putts are my good putts.
