Man, thought id never say this... But I think the game will eventually break this man. Scratch to Scratch is looking like a long long long long long unreachable par 3... but possible if you hit the cart path... Advice from a scratch golfer. Stop taking lesson atm. You have all the fundamental work. You need to work on how to score on the golf course. Seriously, if I was you. I'd be playing 18 holes every day or at least 5 times a week. Go play the same course so you can build on what we call 'course knowledge' You can't get consistent with anything if you're always changing it. Find your ball flight, get your yardages down, and play with what you have.

Make sure you heal man! Dont screw yourself over in the long run

Don't get discouraged. Your game has improved in all areas. You now have the tools to put what you have learned to practice. Instead of taking more lessons from pros I would occasionally review old lessons but spend more time on the course.

Don't be too hard on yourself while playing with an injury... From what I saw, you greatly improved with your chipping and putting compared to your older videos. You had a few holes where they didn't drop for you so definitely hit the putting green and practice the North South East West drill at 5 feet a lot... This helped my confidence so I wouldn't screw up those close birdie and par putts that usually get people nervous about making.

The camera is shaking for 100% of the video. Motion sickness 🤢

Welcome back bro! Hate you got injured, hopefully you can find a grass range to practice on. Ease back into it you got this man. Loving the improved video quality too

We’re both on our journey to being scratch and I’m really thankful for the coaches you showcase because they give such great advice. Can’t wait until your app becomes fully operational.

Hey Jerome, I think I had the same injury last year November, I started my golf lessons in August and really tried to put the work in spending 4 - 5 hours at our local range at least 3 times a week minimum, my left wrist was in serious pain and for some reason I started losing feeling in my fingers too. I was open with my coach and told him what I was going through, he recommended taking 2 weeks off, but I just didn't want to lose all that progress so I only decided to take 1 week off only to injure myself completely with my first lesson after the break, there was nothing I could do afterwards, so I was forced to take a break for a full month which was terrible, but my hand fully recovered and I've been golfing since then, guess what I'm trying to say is just take the break that's needed, you can always practice putting and just use your free time to watch alot of PGA highlights cause I was very close to destroying my hand and ever since my proper recovering I've never felt that pain again and it was an eye opener to understand that you shouldn't over do it. PS Hope you get better soon.

I broke 3 ribs in an accident a couple months ago, and was off the course and range for 6 weeks. It took me quite a few rounds and range sessions to get back to where I was before. The things that were probably the hardest to get back were body rotation , wrist set , swinging through the ball. I felt like I wanted to protect the tender areas, so I wasn’t fluid at all. It will return, but dint rush it. Trying to protect a certain area of your body will only make you hurt something else by over compensating . Glad to see your back in action!!!

Bro your high as hell 😂😂 straight cheesing 😁😁🤯🤯

Bro I hate practicing on mats. Good luck bud. Stay on that grind. PS: Jorge, put that camera on a tripod or something when he’s swinging, that shaking is rough. Maybe an IS lens might help. 👍

Hope you heal up brother 🙌

Dang! was hoping to catch you here in San Diego 😂 good luck out there in LA and the golf journey bro

Awesome seeing you play golf again!

I’m glad you’re still making Contant. I hope you have a speedy recovery! I was actually in LA in May. I tried to send you a DM to see if you wanted to play. I stayed in Newport Beach and played at pelican Hill. Would’ve been nice to have you. I’m sure I’ll be out there again.

Is the camera on optical zoom? My Sony ax53 has built in gimble lens. It’s really good and not that expensive. Also what resolution did you filming as your old camera looked better quality.

You mention trying to get to a single digit handicap by the end of the year but haven’t seen you record a ghin handicap on the channel at all. Hard for us to track your progress without a handicap update each round. I think single digit is more realistic by end of 2025, scratch by 2030.

Welcome back to golf bro and sorry about your injury. Some negatives - Most of the zoomed in shots turned blurry and we couldn’t see where it went. Plus the shot tracer was lost when you zoomed. Other times you would point to your club but the camera wasn’t looking there. Just some growing pains with a new camera guy but it’ll get better I’m sure. Keep it up!

You have a great looking swing. Congrats on the improvement!

Glad to see you back! You need a gimbal or some kind of stabilization

When your wrist is injured like that, just pick it up and place it ouside the bunker lol

I would love to see you take some course management lessons. You are losing a lot of shots to being too aggressive off the tee and trying too many impossible shots rather than chipping out. Driver on the 300 yard par 4 and 3 wood off the dirt, too many shots under tree branches are just a couple of examples. You could shave 10 shots off the round by picking different clubs and aiming away from trouble. Love your journey!

liked! thank you for making all these videos

i had the same thing and got a cortisone shot and it completely went away. Not sure if it was the "same" but worth exploring.

Save your body. Shouldn't matter playing solo to move your ball away from a rock or tree root on the fairway or in some areas in the rough or areas that are dried out hard with clumps of weed-grass if you'll hurt yourself or damage your equipment if you swing. Best to ask prior or during a "competitive" round between friends or betting strangers. I don't destroy nice plants if my ball lands in it. Play a great manicured course soon to see how every inch should be taken care of. TIP: It takes 70-72 strokes to play and can be hit within 1 hour or so each day rotating clubs. Should practice be 5 hours everyday? Ask your coach and let us know.

Your short game looks so much better now! Good job. When your wrist feels better, try Course One at Brookside. It longer and one of the best in the area.

Now that you’re in LA can we get some content with George Gankas? 👀 Love the channel, the content with Dana was phenomenal

I hope you do the video on trackman. And try Aberg approach to swing ( when he put the club behind the ball, he swings right away). I try that and my hits was really better. Maybe when you wait to long at the setup, your body gets to tired?

Your wedge shots looked awesome on 60-70% of the chips. On the others you are still chunking by keeping your weight back on the right side. All in all - a great improvement on chipping.

#relatable :-) nice journey, thx for sharing it!

Keep it up, Jerome. Come play in Tucson this winter.

You need to rest and fully heal

Make sure you take enough time off to heal. Pushing it could make you compensate in your swing and cause you to groove something in that will take a long time to reverse.

Wow. Injured like Tiger. I thought it was strange there was so much practice info- Great info. Tip. We play on Public courses w loose rules. Real rule- move ball from area deem " Ground under repair" on 2nd hole so you don't injure/ reinjure self. 2nd hole you lined up where the grounds keeper aimed the tee box great shot- Check tee box to target.

That bunker part happens to me every round with every bunker on the course it feels like 😆

Mr. Jeromaroni! Mr rebelllll! Getting the golf cart lock downnnnn! Rob Schneider voice

Jeromes running handicap based on his rounds posted to youtube: 16.9

Fill up the divot with sand which is on your cart‼️

Bro, you are doing great, the chipping is improving! Take care of your injury first before it becomes something permanent! Try to practice the things that you can with the injury or if the doctor tells you to take rest, do so. You actually improved a lot with regards to self-reflection. You said it yourself, it is your aim (35:17) and falling back instead of having your pressure forwards (36:34). Especially the pressure forward (to target) is what went wrong with almost all your 'bad' shots.

Just a quick piece of advice to avoid further injury. If you are going to hit that many golf balls hit some irons off of short tees to save yourself from the jarring of the mat. Also hitting irons off a tee will help with low point control. Also if your left wrist is the only one hurting, hit/chip some balls while swinging one handed. Davis Love III grew up with a dad as a pro and that was a drill he had him do all the time with each hand.

with the swing you have now compared to when you started, its time for a players iron so you know what your distance is going to be. The problem with Game Improvement irons is the distances arent consistent. Its easy to get a flyer and then you dont get a good understanding what your irons are really doing.

Periods of not playing, while you only cognize what you've learned, is absolutely necessary to get better at anything you learn.

I used Wim Hoff breathing techniques to work with my doctors plan to help reduce back inflammation. Back's better now.

what device is that you use for aimputting? See, 8:35.

If you like high 60’s low 70’s for the weather move to the Bay Area ! Perfect golf weather 10 months of the year

Yup I just healed from the same injury fun stuff

Anybody else concerned? I’m guessing tendonitis just takes some time. Do what you gotta do Jerome! Truly miss your content.

Keep it up man. LA city has a player’s card for $25, you could book throughout LA 9 days in advance. The Valley has great courses. You can’t go wrong with Encino/ Balboa, Woodley Lakes or Hansen Damn.

Love the journey Jerome! I think you'd probably shave 2-3 strokes off your game just by slowing down. I know there's always pressure on the course to keep play moving, but take a minute and make sure you're making the right play with the right club. You don't seem to have any pre-shot routine after you tee off.

The DeWhiz will really help you dial in distance control and a lot of other stuff.. I literally gained 30y wedge control in 100 balls that translated onto the golf course and gave me some serious confidence. Good luck in the city of angels. Come out to OC sometime!

I grew up playing Brookside #1 and #2. Great muni courses. Please fill your divots with the sand that's provided!!

I'm surprised you don't have a Bushnell Launch Pro. Getting some sort of launch monitor will make for more efficient range practice.

Jerome have you considered arcos sensors! It will definitely help your golf game!

Which part of LA? So much easier to get a tee time now since they fixed the issue of bots taking tee times.

Just an opinion piece.. love what youre doing here in regards of improving your game. Obviously a very driven individual and all these video lessons are good content for viewers and so forth.. However, for the sake of improvement of your game, I do believe you are over-coached.. there does come a point where after fundamentals and education, that the game should simply just be played, and repeated, trained constantly.. over and over.. until eventually you master your game. As there is a great deal of Individuality to this sport, and none are perfect, even at proffesional level. I cant see this ever happening with the amount constant changes, swing thoughts and lessons your undergoing. I only speak on this because I've been through this myself.. And seen it with others coming through the system. I hope I'm wrong tho, for your sake. Good luck on the journey regardless..👍

J, the grind will give you the aches. Some worse than others. Use K tape on your wrist right between the hand and wrist. You’ll figure out a good tension and warps. Won’t even know you’re wearing it and can play with it as well.

Welcome to LA!!!!

I feel like I’m watching myself - before I learned how to play golf. 😊

Man you look so good. Unfortunately a lot of golf is in your head. Join a club and play in competition it will help you focus Keep going amazing transformation

When you were on the 6th hole in that greenside bunker you seemed to be trying to take too much sand which, with your wrist injury, only made things worse. The ball was sitting perched on top of the compacted sand on a slightly uphill lie. That's a situation where I would try to pick the ball off the sand cleanly using a club with very little bounce. That's something that really needs to be practiced to feel confident about when you're in that situation. More importantly, I know it's really hard to do but stop playing and hitting balls until your wrist heals. You're only prolonging it healing at best and possibly doing more damage.

Jerome, I like your general attitude. I think you're killing it with driver and mid irons, but you need to work on short game. Pitches, chips, sand. Which a lot of us need. Keep up the optimism. Not a game of perfect.

I think since you gained massive distance on your clubs you should consider lower frequency cavity backs. I know for a fact those stealth irons are made for lower swing speeds and you don’t have that problem

dude I have had a nagging wrist injury since the 2022 season. I fatted a shot on a really dry course hit the ground really hard and ever since then its been a long recovery time. I reaggravated it pretty bad a month ago. shit sucks man.

SD to LA?! You skipped the OC, golf heaven! Keep up the grind!

When you get in hard-packed sand, play it as if you are on dirt. Try and hit as close to the ball as possible - even ball first. Otherwise you will hit the hard pan first and bounce into the ball and skull it or hit it thin.

You need a golf watch bro. A mid rang watch with hole layout works great for learning to plan a hole better. Pace your chips halfway maybe

I know you get the best coaches in the world but a tip for bunkers or tall grass , bend your right knee and lean back a good amount those flops are gonna go crazy and it doesn’t need too much power.

You are no longer at base camp; you are at camp 2. Resting and preparing to move on. Eventually you will strike for the summit, scratch golf, but that is still a way off. On short chips add loft by opening face slightly, also work for spin and when the ball dances and hops around the pin, you will know you are on to something. More relaxed and balanced at the finish. Just chip it out of packed down sand, or hardpan in general. On putts, long ones, I want to see some knee and hip movement, you are not a statue. On short putts aim for the back of the hole. I miss them too.

Better courses in the inland empire. And more affordable. You need to go to Goose creek!! My favorite course.

I live in LA. SD is way better than LA imo. Either way, if you just want to be close to muni courses, go to the studio city - sherman oaks area. 10 min drive to Encino, Sepulveda and Woodley courses with a bonus of Van Nuys executive and 18 hole par 3 for short game practice around the corner as well.

DO NOT RUN ON THE GREEN 😱

You know im aim guy and great awarness to check aim on tape while playing 16th.

I’m shooting this out there. I have a professional videographer friend that is obsessed with golf and would probably be willing to film a round or two. The quality of this video just isn’t it.

you need to give the long game a rest for a while. Most of your lost shots are from your short game. Once your wrist recovers you could practice your short game for hours with minimal impact on your wrist. This is where you will improve the most IMO

Lots of money, time, and your health wasted on range balls and hitting off of mats. Need to spend way more time hitting off grass, off different lies on the course. Paying Dana another $2,000 probably won't fix issues you have with uphill, downhill, ball above, ball below lies. Your videographer needs a stabilizer. Sorry but can't really watch this one!

Dude, turn on the stabilization feature on that camera, so shaky!

Have your camera man get a. monopod to improve the shakeness

looks like your playing the Rosebowl?

Holy fuck I didn't know Michael J Fox was your camera guy.

How much as grinding to develop your skill is important, you should rest and look after your injury. Why risk for permanent damage

Alright buddy you need to put the coaches down and start playing with people I'm glad to see your nerves have finally calmed down

Try Jumbo grips for your wrist pain

An injury option is to use a tee everywhere + use 2 extra clubs for each shot. You will develop touch while healing. Zoom ability is not worth the instability! 👎

Camera needs zoom clarity and stabilization fixed.

Jerome did you fall off? We need another Dana video

Need something to stabilize the footage lol

brUH. that shallowing move at 3:10 was beautiful

Lol your camera guy and his zoom....

That camera used on the zoom shots has poor vibration compensation. I hope that's not the one your purchased for this channel.

Bro hit me up if you want a partner to play with. Brookside, Chester Washington, Arcadia, industry hills. Wherever.

10:54 I really want to know what an affordable course costs in LA and where the “affordable” threshold begins lol there’s no way I’d ever want to actually live in LA with how much things cost, and honestly the whole “Hollywood/film industry” vibe there is so retarded 😂 great place to visit maybe once but living there is brave lol

Wah,wah, wah!

How does he afford to play/ practice golf full time?

Take time off. Binge Golf Sidekick videos to learn some course management. Spend $27 on 3 Releases: Short Game System. Avoid mats like the plague.

Camera man is zooming in too soon. Let ball bounce and then zoom or just before it lands.

You got this Jerome. LETS GO!!!!!!!

Jerome I would love to give you a life lesson in golf you trying to break 85 come to England come and play some proper golf courses I'll show you how to get up and down I'll show how to chip real life chipping properly I will literally guarantee you break 85 in a couple of days

On the second hole why wouldn’t you just try the soft shot he told you to play? You’re not playing a tournament so that would have been the perfect time. There is such a thing as on or off course practice. If the course is wide open I’ll play two different balls.

Genuine feedback. Limit the talk scene in between shots to no more than 5 seconds and once in awhile insert a 15 seconds or so talk. As mentioned by others before, the shaky hands of the camera man made this video hard to watch. Most of the shots are to up close and made it again hard to watch

bro a +20 on a par 71 is still a 91 not 90! 😂😂😂 wtf you on
