How to break 80: dont OB and dont 3-putt.
I am trying to break 85, baby steps.
Great exhibition in course management. Although I have to admit I don’t feel macho playing my dink and dunk game.
I tried Swing tweeks…They suggested I take up checkers ??
Love watching your videos Adam, always great whenever I see a notification that you have uploaded another video, shall finally sign up to Swingtweaks and get my swing analysed 👍
damn, I would’ve bought you a beer if I knew you were in Portland
regularly breaking 90. I know I have an 85 in me just need to make sure I follow your advice.
Two questions Adam. 1) would you suggest taking a club your not confident with and using it primarily for all shots on a 9 hole course? I'm not really confident with my 6 iron. 2) do you use an app to track and calculate your handicap and if so which one? I'm trying to get a registered handicap so I can start doing events and tournaments.
looking forward to meeting you at PGA West!
No double squares but there was triple thought I wouldn’t catch that huh Adam 😂
I said it once and I'll say it again, how to easily break 80 is skipping two or three holes. Lol
Bro your channel has literally changed how I see golf.
Well done sir
Great video! Always love to see new courses featured on the channel, hoping for even more this year.
Can you please do a video on how you approach putting? I really admire your distance control.
Did you play 18 from the white tees?
aaahhhhhh, ego. gets me every time. i bought a driver to hit it farther, I hate hitting lesser clubs even though its the smart play. You are right, game plan and mindset, thats where as a 12, i mess up too much.
The closed caption at 13:05 killed me. 😂
Broke 80 for the first time this week. Took a 294 yard drive 191 yard 5 wood and a lag putt to 1ft from 42 feet to get it done, but still got it there. Thanks for the inspiration to keep grinding
Ahhh, Pumpkin Ridge. Nice course, but home to the worst round of my life.
Those reach past and drag the ball tap ins always get me anxious Adam!
Adam – I just want to say that your attitude in these videos has helped me become a significantly better golfer between the ears. I appreciate the game more, I shake off bad shots faster, and I'm more fun to play with because of my improved demeanor (despite my high handicap). I find myself saying "it's never too late for your best shot of the day" at least 3x a round – you need to sell tshirts! Awesome to see you playing one of our excellent Oregon courses, and would love to see another match play video between you and Diane. Keep up the awesome content and thank you for helping me learn to love this game even more.
Are you doing any other oregon courses?
I fractured my clavicle in a motorcycle accident last month. This week I’m having surgery for my golfers elbow. I’m really hoping to get some warm weather golf in the summer. Wish me luck boys.
Was maybe the better miss on #2 to use a club that left the ball short front of green, versus trying to get pin hi?
Do you have any videos where you detail your routine for lag putting so well? Thanks for the video. Great work!
06:46 New golfer here trying to pick your brain. Why would you say left of the pin was the conservative shot vs to the right of the pin? I would think shooting over a bunker may be too risky?
Soo I can't help but notice the different tees. some holes were blue. some were white. some were white/red. what's the deal there??
Hey new golfer here! I have a question, why do you not seem to finish your swing most of the time? Does it affect your game at all?
Thank you so much! Bought this headset a few days ago, got the G hub update and when I changed volume I thought maybe I had shocked them and fried them! Working now!
Any tips for quickly/easily setting up a camera while playing with a group to not slow things down?
Love playing Pumpkin Ridge!
Broke 80 for the first time ever at my home course, 4 shots better previous best. Your videos and approach to the game has been so inspiring, thanks
Brilliant YouTube Adam. Watching you work your way around the courses you play is a joy!
Pumpkin Ridge! Awesome round Adam. The Reserve south?
How about fixing that horrible backswing ? Probably lead to breaking 80.
Very instructive, as I can & do make about the same number of errors. My putting lets me down. Chipping not great. Thanks for making me feel like I can improve. Almost seems like no problem to get better.
i love these videos => very relatable golf.
How to break 80:
1. Keep the ball in play
2. Putt well
Woah welcome to Oregon! Awesome to see you play Pumpkin. Such a fun course.
Biggest takeaway from your videos is your ability to get GIR. Don’t get me wrong, your lag putts are money. But your GIR is your best asset, IMO.
Broke 85 after watching your videos with an 84! Previous best was 91.
Love how you explained the mindset around each shot ensuring that mistakes don't compound
Your channel is great, I just started watching it. It's extremely relatable and reinforces my decision to forgo trying to go long off the tee the way I did 20 years ago, for being in play most of the time. This is a great golf Chanel Adam, keep it up.
I started to break 80 regularly when I accepted the fact that you hit poor shots sometimes and those can get you in very bad situations. You just accept it and move on. It is no place to get angry because it just happens even best of players. Before it was easy to get angry and lose your game and double bogey rest of the round. Now I just stay calm and focus on my next shot and try to make best I can from what ever situation I'm in.
great video bro,despite you being a yank i find your content relatable, i'm currently a 23 hcp trying to break 90,love your demeanor and attitude!
Dude – Just stumbled across one of your videos – the Langdon Farms one – but I gotta say, I really enjoy watching them. Keep up the great work man and thanks for sharing!
my observation has been that most mid 80's and higher guys would still struggle if they played from the forward tees. A combination of poor fundamentals and a horrible mental game as far as course management, they would still be hard pressed to break 80 honestly.
That front 9 is the story of my life.
