Jesus is the only way to heaven Being a good person won’t get you there. “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV Repent from your sin(disobedience to God) and turn to God and follow Him so that you will be saved “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV

I am a beginner at golf .....I wanted to learn the basic swing. After watching a bunch of KZfaq videos I was like WTF this is just a Rubik's cube of complications. I eventually found a few videos that make it simple like this . A few days at the range and I played my first round of golf . I was useless off the Tee . However my irons and putting was decent and I actually played decent for my first time . I switched to a 4 iron off the Tee and I really enjoyed my round . I hear my friends talking to each other about wrists , knees , feet , coming from outside , inside etc etc . I can't fathom how they even hit the ball thinking about all that stuff .

@@TheRaceface22 I’d suggest mike Malaska if you’re a beginner. he breaks things down very simplistically and is one of the best coaches on the planet. I’d also suggest not getting too caught up in all the online information because there’s not one exact way to swing the club, all different types of swings have won major championships and you can find a lot of contradicting information. Always try to understand “why” we want to make certain moves in the golf swing instead of just blindly copying positions. And of course every player should fully understand “the new laws of ball flight” because a lot of rookies have the physics of the game completely backwards and think they understand but don’t understand what makes the different shot shapes, understanding and practicing the laws of ball flight makes the game way more simple.

@@TheRaceface22 you don’t think about all that stuff while you’re playing. You work on one maybe two things for months until it’s ingrained in your natural swing and then you move onto the next improvement. Golf is the lifelong pursuit of unattainable perfection, you’ll never stop learning and striving for perfection if you truly fall in love with the game.

@@TheWedgeWizard Brilliant replies mate , thanks . I play a LOT of snooker and also used to coach juniors at snooker too . The similarities between snooker and Golf is unbelievable. I could go on all day on how the timing , thought process etc etc is very similar

@@TheRaceface22 nice man, idk much about snooker but I’ve played regular 8 ball or 9 ball pool since I was a kid, I’m not to shabby with cue. Even won 2 years ina row an annual 8-ball tournament when I was 15 &16, other players tried to protest me (unsuccessfully) playing because of my age, that same thing happened when I was 13-18 playing in club championships and other golf tournaments, the old guys didn’t want to loose to a 13 year old 😂 But yea, similarly both games are all about the different spins you want to put on the ball and playing strategically to set up your next shots. A lot of beginners just want to hit driver on every hole but a lot of times closer isn’t better and driver can get you in trouble on many holes. Especially juniors, they love smashing driver lol, I taught a junior golf camp for five or six years and gave lessons to hundreds of adult players back when i played/taught professionally. I’ve had my amateur status back for a while now which is nice because I can play in so many more tournaments and golf isn’t my whole life the way it needs to be to play professionally, not to mention the expenses to travel and play on mini tours isn’t cheap so I’d only get to play in a handful of tournaments a year. Back to being a big fish and a little pond 😂 keep grinding, hit ‘em flush 🤘

You need to maximise the use of both.

Yep. Then I miss the ball completely 😂😂

😂😂😂

Yes I feel you. I would try making a couple swings split grip like a hokey player. Then yiu can really focus on clearing your hips by feeling your front foot rips backwards into the ground in transition

@@happytuesday "feeling your front foot rips backwards into the ground??" Lost me there

@@brianchristopher4666 check out my short video titled “my new speed record” In the comments I explain what I’m trying to feel with that move.

@@happytuesday Alright. Some hocky swing like move. I'll give it a try. Thanks

Lol. Hands should definitely not be passive. Wrists need to be very active as that is where most of the speed comes from.

Not true at all. When I am having a bad ball striking day, I swap to this on the course to "reset", and 100% of the time I have MUCH more controlled ball flights.

Agreed. Earlier wrist setting like this takes a lot of speed off club head. I think a wide takeaway and late set is the way to go.

Handicap?

How so

Why?

@@Ill_trigger_you_lol because your swing should not start with a wrist hinge. Making your first move a poor move means you will fight against yourself the rest of the swing to try and put the club back into the correct position.

Mechanically hinging your wristscauses a lot of people to loop their swing outside to in

Did you watch the video? I said In the real swing the hinge is much more gradual and this is just a great drill for beginners to get an idea how to use the big muscles in the swing.

Someone in the replies just said beginners can do it. But it’s not controllable. That’s what he said.
