  1. Great vid. I’m gonna say that’s 99% of the golfers out there. Most on a good day!
    If Playing with strict rules, not fluffing the ball every bad lie like most do or forgetting (😇) the first ball off the tee that went in the woods, that was a pretty decent round for an average Joe player…
    Cool vid for sure

  2. Okay, so there is a camera?

    This is a learning experience, okay,

    I would like to see, ( not every shot, ) but

    How about in the process of teaching,

    Let the subject, like the man said earlier, let the subject tell you his thoughts, let them hit their shot, then

    Let the caddie give his perspective, and let him try to hit that shot? Then,

    On a miss hit, let him try a second one ball, in hopes to get the feeling, that, yes I can do this?

    Sure, no problem, I volunteer.

  3. I love the concept, what a good caddy can do do for the vibe is amazing. One thing i dont understand, if he is a 16hcp, schouldn‘t he been breaking 90 regularly?

  4. Why do Americans insist on gimme putts. I've only watched the first hole and already considering turning it off. You're supposed to be teaching the guy how to score, the amount of putts inside 3 feet I see missed in amateur competitions is astonishing. No putts should ever be given.

  5. I was really rootin' for Shane on that fast breaking putt on 4. Then the approach on 5 his target was 35 feet right, but he actually lined up 20 feet left. His alignment–and his divot–told us exactly where the ball was going. Not a lack of talent or skill at all. It sounds like maybe Paul said something to correct this habit at some point. I love his teaching style. Fun video.

  6. IN Golf who Record does every chase … Jack Nicklaus … Jack never let his caddy tell him what to do … Jack never traveled with a swing coach or anybody else much less a posse … Jack has said he met with a guy who wasn't a true swing coach as people think now a days once a year … otherwise he did it all himself … he has said guys today have way too many people on " Their Team" as they all like to say … I have been a Pro since the 70s … it is ridiculous the amount of outside interference a player has today.

  7. Hole 12 Paul should have told him he could get one club relief since the sprinkler box was in his putting line. He lost a stroke with deciding to chip it instead

  8. What an excellent video! Who couldn't put themselves in your shoes and recognize the thinking/strategy each shot required, and in particular assessing the risk/reward of each shot. What a fun video to watch…that hour went FAST!
