Gaining Experience on the Golf Course | Achieving a Single Figure Handicap | Padraig Harrington
In the tenth Paddy’s Golf Tips video in the series on helping every golfer achieve a single-figure handicap, I now move on to gaining experience, which is key to improvement in your golf game and ultimately your scores, but the hardest thing to teach. With this lesson, I play a few different shots on the golf course and talk through key points to consider for each shot

Thanks ⛳
Always time for 9. Great video
THe overall hardest battle for me, Paddy, is simply hitting the ball without my mind interrupting the flow at all. I find there is always the varying difference between my practice swing…and the actual swing. The practice swing has an uninterrupted flow, while the actual swing is not always that way. I think it's a skill that takes time to truly develop….to have one's mind just watch and guide, when it really matters, and not interrupt anything. The mind has to be passive, to a very significant extent….but still be the guide, at the same time. This is probably true of every single sport, of course.
Experience. Thanks for a GREAT VIDEO. I play with single handicaps mostly twice a week. Really helps with the experience. 3 years now with these guys and I watch them like a hawk. Especially around the greens. And I practice 3 times a week. My handicap is now 12 down from 21. I am 69 and loving golf. Thanks for all your videos!!
Congrats to your son Paddy on his Ace yesterday! You were a pretty proud looking Dad out there. Hope his bar bill wasn't too bad.
This kind of video is the most valuable thing that most instructors don't talk about. Course management is always discussed, but never situationally. There are many variables in calculating the shot that will get you in the hole in the least amount of strokes without taking on too much risk of a big number. Love how he gave many examples for similar situations.
Hitting a good shot is more important to me than just a low score. Nobody has ever asked me what I scored yesterday and unless it was an unusually low score I won't even remember it. But I will remember that good shot over the trees or that green I hit in two. So I will always go for it, layups are for basketball not golf. I'm a decent player with a 7 handicap but if you have ever watched the movie (Bagger Vance), the old version of Hardy Greaves is a pretty good representation of my game.
True words don't be a hero be a single handicapper
What A Man!
