Golf Course Lesson Chipping Sodbury
right guys hello Mark Crossroad here we’re here at the beautiful chipping sodbury Golf Club we’ve got gorilla James here say hello James hello and we’ve also got James Diamond on cam hello James hi guys so we’re going to play this course it’s a lovely Parkland course in looking like it’s in Splendid Nick we’re going to um show you a little bit about what we do out on the course uh unleash the gorilla into the wild once again is out the cage he’s out of the cage let’s get stuck in [Music] okay so this is a 45 yd par 4 downhill to the left I’m just going to hit my 20° uh hybrid down as close to these trees James if you can show them close to these trees as possible Wich what have you got got five iron the Gill’s got five Diamond what have you got I’ve got a four four on let’s do it let’s play Let’s get stuck in James y looking perfect to me that little draw around the corner good shot it’s far enough which I think it should be should be a good lining from there G in James is that shirt tight enough he’s exploding out of it packing on the pounds [Music] yeah nice draw it’s good James good shot thank you let’s going to straight is not is it right D’s a little worried cuz we’ve gone in it the Fairway there your turn now James bit of a draw around the corner is the gig if you can pull it off what have you got did you say I got a four on do it looks good yeah good shot it’s all on the distance cuz it does dog lay quite a lot to the left here I hope we’ve all gone far enough we’ll get down there and see right James explain to the viewers your management scenario here what’s happened I thought you didn’t want to go too far as I thought it was quite sharp dog l so how far have you got I got 27 yards left and how far has James got he’s got about 200 yards left how as far as yours truly got 27 no I haven’t you cheeky bug on way up there I’ve got about 160 I’ve arguably done the right you’re the right club and you guys have not done the right thing but the hole is far from over now what club you got I got four R again go four four how to make the hole as hard as possible for yourself by James Diamond goo yeah will he get it over oh these cars about the cars these cars have obviously never seen you play before what is happening well I think everyone heard that you were here and they’re emptying the car park look the green Keepers know you he knows you there go J’s four iron anywhere over the GoPro is good yeah yeah just left the GoPro l strike oh that’s a pure iron be the club go oh James what a shot good is that four IR four IR down the neck I don’t reckon I can get mine inside that great shot right James is Nick on in it how far James 198 198 didn’t want that far really did I James for the gorilla 198 is 198 equals a in between 7 and 8 off this SL between seven and probably a seven seven go with the eight get the gorilla uncaged get him out get it close it’s about smoothing it down isn’t it no go you’re not trying to prove a point I don’t know what that means to him [Music] yeah turn good shot it’s drawing in keep going keep going keep going strike fit long back right but still take nice strike just didn’t quite get all the shape okay 167 nickon finest yards nion 167 what you reckon it’s uh between eight and seven for you isn’t it eight I think it’s definitely an eight it’s down downhill last time I played with these jpx power I was long all the time I’m eting shots in long so I’m going to go with an eight I’m still learning my distances a bit with these um see if we can get inside James for iron be a hard shot cuz his was very [Music] good get up little heavy good work left I’ll take it I CAU it slightly down SL didn’t get as much as the ball I want but all on the Ping okay then guys so gorilla a lovely strike in there he pin eye on the right hand side of the green just off the green Mark shot came up a bit short he’s on the front edge and mine’s somewhere in between Mark’s ball and the hole so let’s see how he does it’s got about about 35 ft or so lots of work in that still rubbish go on James good run of it a little bit of juice in that though Gan James let’s see if you can roll in a birdie all right James is pure forine I be one of the best Forin I’ve seen can he make a Better Effort at the putting than me and James did bit off the left James I saw mine it looks a bit off the left but then yours has finished what looks left here yeah I did pull it thanks right make not four forarm in the ground look at the smile come on James very good birdie right after James shocking star I’m going to make Pokey off my sing a time that’s the first time I’ve hit the groov in about two months Oh I thought I was going to Spring from there unlucky nice free pts always what you want to kick you off quite everything it deserved I think have a look at the human cannon putting out all right this is straight straight and F Bo boom done broke the hole talk us what we’ve got then for iron birdie man yeah just to four iron birdie man another four iron birdie what have you got four I got four IR so what’s the hole doing it’s a dog leg right to left it’s only about 340 this one obviously you can see trees are really tight on the left bunkers down the right so you need to get a little bit of draw on the t- shop so hit it around about 200 gives you about 140 in so do it just and the gorilla well I’m try and knock on the green plays a different game than us go then let’s see it [Music] James sure very good nice little draw middle of the Fairway very good try and H it higher next time all the power I got it’s a 4 and isn’t it that’s very good that 4 you off the first isn’t it so my rescue was going further than your 4arm wasn’t it so I be a 4 as well so I got 140 yeah yeah so it’s a lot of draw with a Freewood isn’t it yeah James right there’s a gap there’s a big tree Gap see I don’t see a gap there I see a gap you can hit it over the trees that about 50t high well maybe I should hit first cuz those guys still on the green yeah I think you probably should it first so I’ll hit even though it’s not my honor I’m just going to pass the camera to James the Gap I see a big water of trees so I’m also going to hit a 4 IR I did have a Freewood at at the start but see where James is landed I think it will go it needs a lot of curve I think you’re making the hole quite narrow by hting through don’t you yeah absolutely it’s a bit of a draw for un like James got really get up little left but I reckon you might actually get away with that we’ll see right okay where’s this gy there’s a massive Tre in front of us you go left of that with a cut and hit it like 100 yards in the air all righty car like 320 Gap it’s weird I didn’t see that right still yet to see that Gap Let it Fly there you go oh ouch get on the green that’s a great shot we’ll see how that is when we get up there what we seen James got 133 yards pins back left uh slightly into wind so I’m going to hit a little nine little N I was thinking full wedge but I don’t the gorilla’s gorilla on the green front right I’m just over by my electric trolley over there so a little bit ahead of James but further left got fortunate come on in James whip it in there little nine how far did you say 133 go on then stay right stay right got lucky bit of a n stri yeah slightly thin but I think that’s up there just P for birdie okay let’s see if I can get inside James Diamond uh gorillas on which is on green a problem 11 what club’s that well for me I’m right in between with this yardage little wedge big 52 got a swing so out the rough I’m going to go for a big 52 and see if I can Chuck it back there but I don’t like this yardage it’s not my key my best yardage this one coming left a disappointed middle of the green to Backside possibly but see what we can do with the putter so diamonds just spun off the off the front I’m just near the back and we’ve got gorilla shades on where they come from I didn’t even see them come out of the back pitch rep the pitch mark repair I think he wants this on camera that’s where he’s so what’s that carried how long was this all 340 boom one gorilla drive but he’s now got one gorilla putt two putts from here would be good let’s see what he can do we know you can knock it a long way can he get it down in two got about 5T of break as well 5 foot of break let’s see it oh bit that hard I think that’s not bad bit right y I think you over read the break I almost see it going two ways but not a bad put from there more of a misread than the pace well done who’s it on James me or you probably on myself go on then so Diamond next bit of a misre a it’s coming back good P you like homing it on the GoPros I should put it in the hole should you going to finish yours off I’ll mark him I’m on his line okay I kind of landed all just past pin ey so good with the the distance just uh pushed it a bit really it’s always it’s hard to know how they’re going to react at the long stuff so this is simply kind of feeding it down off the right I guess there’s a strong argument for hitting it on the short stuff isn’t there here we go see if we can get one back roll out a it’s online didn’t have the leg I’ll just tap that one in guys going in James if you knock it into for your three okay greens are in good Nick aren’t they greens are very good can’t see a lot in there no say straight and firm again straight and firm break the back of the again it’s only one way there’s only one mode for James even the t-shot was straight and firm boom well done James deserve that good birdie go in James tap it in for your four similar to James’s line oh slots yeah take it though what on guys so if you like what’s going on here don’t be afraid to subscribe to the channel

james diamond's putting is awesome. 4iron 4iron and putt for birdie
google earth shows Gorrila's carry at about 295…
why are you using the JPX irons and not the MP-64's?
love the drive through "the gap" class video
DIAMOND GEEZER
New shoes?!?
Nothing better than having a crack at a short par 4 with the big stick 🙂
i thought the same, but it's called the chipping sodbury.
Mark, did i see you pick up your ball from the fringe and clean it? Hmm?
I'm enjoying these course playing lessons more than watching Golf on television
Love your vidios they help me alot
What does Gorilla Play, the shafts looked like PX 7.0… one of the hardest shafts out there arent they?!
Anyone else think this was a video on how to chip haha
is he sponsored by Būnker or something???
He has bunker tops and stuff every vide
Greatly enjoyed this, I'm currently addicted to golf (it happens to me every couple of years, I get my clubs out of storage, hit a few balls, realise how utterly terrible I am, put them away again) and this is the next best thing to being out there myself. Also, when I'm just watching I don't have to find my ball when it inevitably goes into the trees. On the side of the other fairway. Three holes over.
Hi guys. Im 14 and my handicap is 14 i would really love to turn pro i would much appreciate it if you could follow me on twitter to see how i play golf, Thanks
@RonnieCaseyFFc
Hey man im mexican and now im in cambridge..if is possible i wanna play golf with u..
Chipping Sodbury golf course video with Mark Crossfield AskGolfGuru.
Amazing how far you guys can hit your irons! ……sigh
Is Crossfield using the Mizuno JPX-825?
Mark, you are sucha legend mate.
mark please make more of these, i love watching them!
What is the drumming in the background
I thought this was a lesson on how to chip from a special kind of grass called sodbury
Mark shut the … Up and let others talk and don't talk so much
Great videos thank you Mark
Great videos. Are your two mates pro's too Mark.
Regards
James
CARS???!!!!!
Really enjoyed seeing Chipping Sodbury played there as a junior. Trees have really grown up. Looks like a really good test now. Will have to get my brother out for a game next time I am down there.
Such a different style of vid to the more recent ones. You're almost taking it seriously Mark. Not quite as much fun though.
What on earth is that drumming noise?
So funny to come back and watch this one. You are acting slightly more reserved than you do in the newer ones Mark.
I have never seen/heard someone be on the green of the whites there and I've been a member for 5 years. I take that line and end up in the bunkers. Great shot gorilla. Me and my some love the videos 🙂
Mark, I have been watching ur videos for so long man! Your videos and Rick Shields are my favorites. The golf course strategy vids are my favorites because that is how I play. I play strategy in the sense that I see and hit the ball as an extension of myself. Just positioning the ball in the best place to attack the hole.
Thank you for the vids! You have no idea how much they helped me in my golfing journey. God bless my friend!
I'm liking these older videos but where is coach?
