I have found myself following your approach and, more importantly, trying to transmit it to my son who is 14. Was really proud of him at the weekend when he took a triple bogey on the chin and came back with 3 straight pars. Not so long ago it would have triggered a meltdown

I love your approach to golf. Wish more people would have this motto. It’s a hobby that is supposed to be enjoyable and many just set their expectations way too high. Love watching your videos as I share the same attitude as you when I’m golfing. Very relatable content.

I've really found solace in your saying that "I'm not good enough to get mad." It's so true for us weekend hackers with double digit handicaps. It needs no explanation why we hit bad shots when we do... we're just not scratch golfers, and bad shots will happen and happen often. I've still not had a great deal of time to practice or improve, but I'm enjoying golf more, and that's really what's important.

Nice honest golf mate, we're not pros so we should just enjoy it, it's the good holes that keep us coming back.

Tried a Swingtweak the other day using your code, and despite the app itself being pretty rough (I had to record my swing about a dozen times to get it to register), the advice was pretty solid and in depth. Also, this is a cool video because I was thinking about it during my round yesterday. Started off bogey, then a wild triple bogey. Instead of getting down and declaring the round over, I just decided to focus harder and grind out a score. I had three birdies on the back nine, erasing my triple, and kept it in the 70s. Grit and positivity is such an underrated aspect of golf. Great vid!

That course is a beast when the wind is blowing. Great to see I’m not the only one playing from the whites there

I always love how excited aunties on the course are for everyone around them. You made that par and she’s arm in the air hyping you up.

Your videos are so interesting to watch because you represent most of us who play golf recreationally. I always look forward to watching them. Keep it up!

I have learned more from you, Adam, than the other golf vloggers!

He almost mentally wills his way to good scores…it is truely something we all can learn from. A proper mindset and knowledgeable shot adjustment can consistently lead to good results.

Wow, that's night and day in one round. So great how you kept going without letting yourself down.

It's very relaxing watching you golf.

Adam, your approach to the game is exactly why I watch your content. So glad I found you by way of Golf Sidekick. I would love to see you team up for a two man scramble vs any other content creators.

Great to watch your round. Honestly your strikes are so much better than even you give credit. My hope is that I am as good as you someday!

You have great mental toughness. Respect

Well played. After 9 holes at + 10, I would have been in the bar at half time.

Great concept for a video Adam. You have inspired me to play for each shot rather than count the shots. I managed 7 good holes last round, and am looking forward to getting to 9.

Not gonna lie, this approach of showing the worst first and comparing with the best really put into perspective everything you preach, this was a great video and certainly serves me as a motivator to keep getting better at my golf as a casual golfer. Great video Adam!

Breaking 80 with a whole back nine full of bogeys is crazy though👏

Neat format, would be cool to think of a scorecard like this in any given round. The most important shot is the next shot. I’m trying to take that to heart this year. You have a great mindset in that your next shot can always be your best of the day

I love this approach Adam - I’ll start reviewing my rounds like this and analyze the best 9 to see what I’m capable of and the worst 9 to see what’s holding me back. Hope Maui treated you well.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!!

Absolutely loved this course, always love reliving the rounds through your videos!

Point well demonstrated 👍

Did I properly hear that at one point in this round you were trusting your driver more than your putter? What kinda world do we find ourselves in!?! Nicely done on maintaining that new form!

Please start making longer videos !! Between 22-26 mins because i like that & that’s really all that’s important here

What a great idea for a video. Love this. Would've liked to have seen the actual scorecard at the end to see the spread of the + holes.

Interesting video and helpful thought process. It's always the best three holes that keep giving me hope that my scores haven't plateaued and there are gains to be made after the round. Usually, 1 or 2 bounce back shots during the round like a sand save or a dart from the rough that keep my mindset optimistic during the round.

Super cool concept. It felt like a classic tale of 2 9's lol

Love your approach to the game, very positive and inspiring for someone who struggles with keeping calming and leaving bad shots behind. Great video!

I need to learn how to do this. Today I had a 43 front which is good for me and then a 51 on the back. Aggrivating.

Great video! You should come play in Northern Utah! I feel like I never see any KZfaqr's playing the any of awesome courses in this area. There is so much variety and its super cheap.

what's up, playa? was happy to see a new video.

What gap wedge do you use? 48 / 50 / 52? Also, great video; and easier said than done indeed. The challenge I often have with this is the shots I hit well, but that don't work out. I hit a tee shot on Sunday on a hole with bunkers left and water right, and faded it off the bunker exactly like I planned, only for the ball to get a brutal kick right across the fairway and roll into the drink. Messed me up for 2 holes.

I can put a good 9 hole score together on occasion but still can’t break 80. Yesterday I had a 37 (+2) with 2 birds. Maintaining that level of play for a continuous 18 I find extremely hard.

Love this way of doing a post round review! Will give it a go tomorrow 😊

Attitude...Attitude...Attitude...qell done way to fight back Adam

Im about 7 weeks out from wrist surgery. Played my first round on my own ball at a tough course. Shot 47-37 lol. Wrist finally loosened up around #8. 4 doubles on the front, only 2 bogeys on the back.

I had the pleasure of playing Ka'anapali Royal on my honeymoon and immediately saw you didn't start with hole 1 which I thought was pretty cool! This is the first time I have played a course you have played so it was fun to remember spots I was in and the sights from all of the teeboxes, awesome stuff!

Amazing! You sir are an inspiration.

Started off +7 through 9. Even the back. I'm awesome.

I don't ever actually keep score, I just play shot to shot and think about how each individual shot was good or bad and I always try to two putt. Maybe when I start feeling like I'm pretty good I'll start keeping score to see where I'm at

As my dad used to say “I’m not good enough to get angry” 🤣

Great idea for a video Adam!

Love your channel and the approach on this video was amazing. You might have to change the title of the channel soon LOL

I had to share an experience I had last night and I will copy/paste from what I posted on my fb page....Tales from the fairway....so recently I used a driving cart and Saturday I had my worst round of the year, a 52, (I refer to nine holes as a round, as that's my normal) and I was thinking maybe I was rushing shots....I'm dealing with a shoulder that's doing physical therapy so maybe that added, but had been doing ok for some rounds prior so i won't blame it on that. So 2nite I decide to cart again and on my course, the first 2 holes can set the tone....2 par 4's.....God forbid I start with 2 double bogey's, that can ruin a round or at least put you in a bad place....so 2nite i start off with triple bogey/bogey...not good....matter of fact of my first six holes I had zero pars and only one bogey....horrible....now driving in a cart the round is going quick and playing bad puts me in a bad mood.....finished with 3 bogey and a 51.....however, with a cart I still have daylight and decide I may try for another nine...... Welp, I guess my body was a bit warmed off as I reeled of four pars in a row.....but then caught up to a foursome and now the fear was if I can't play thru it may get dark before finishing nine.....so I blow by those guys by 2 holes and play the last three holes double bogey/par/bogey.....now i gotta race back for the 2 skipped holes and I shoot bogey/par on those....all in all my lowest score of the year, 40.....which put me in a great mood......it's amazing to think how playing the same nine back to back can lead to a 51/40....sometimes I kick myself for shooting 46s but being happy with 45s but in truth had i played 18 holes every time I guess it stands to reason the back nine you'd play better b/c your body is warmed up to the task. Bottom line is I've forgotten all about the 51 and focused on the 40, which by the way with six pars, that's just the fifth time I've ever done that....I've had 7 pars once in my life.

I usually just write down my score per hole and add it up at the end of the round. I focus on my pre-shot routine and process. Worrying about what my running score is and what it will be at the end of the round, never did any good to my game.

Great attitude

Since you work with Troon, I challenge you to play my local Troon track in Escondido, CA called Eagle Crest. I’m interested to see what you’d score on a complete crap course as opposed to these beautiful courses that makes us all jealous. EC has a great layout but course conditions are a 2.5 out of 10, as the owners have either run out of money or just don’t care.

Like the videos but I feel like my handicap would be much lower at wide open courses as well ... I like to play different courses regularly, and there's many out there with OB and water looming on nearly every shot ... one thing that you mention is your swing, and ugly or not, it's consistent, which is most high handicappers issue ...

I had to stay positive while I was getting mostly double bogeys recently. I had to tell myself “this is a harder course. You would be making bogeys.”

I'm not sure if it's me or what, but it seems like you were putting on a gymnasium floor today. How did any of those stop ever?

I have noticed you have lost some distance check your lofts

I feel like I did this in real life (without rearranging the holes) last week when I went 36 - 50 (11 handicapper) 😀

can you do me a favor and specifically mention when Swing Tweaks is available for Android Users?

I stopped at 4:51, anything else happen? :-P

7:18 sus divot 🤣

Nice

If you don't keep score, then how do you measure yourself with other golfers?

I propose a much more easier approach. If you’ve never broken 100 make every course a par 100 until you break 100 10 times, if you can’t break 90 make your next course a par 90 and work on breaking that 10 times. 80, 70 etc. smaller bites. We’re not pros and the pros didn’t go from shooting 120 to 65 in one year. They got there with $1000’s of sponsorship dollars which most of us don’t have. And It is self torture to think that a weekend amateur will, playing by all strict rules. The strict rules should not apply to pros who make money on your and are sponsored. The rest of us should play by relaxed rules to have fun and not they down on ourselves every time we mess up. One can take 25 lessons and not improve, so rules have to change. They are designed for the elite. If ur going to be winning millions of dollars play a par 72. I Al see I think the new clubs don’t help high handicappers. The clubs 15 years ago did. All teachers are trying to clone a swing they most of us will never be able to reproduce. It’s a waste. Find someone who works with what you have and not change everything, it’ll be more expensive and much less fun guaranteed..

I would take your worse 9 and double it for my score anytime

You gotta say both A's. Hawaiian is a phonetic alphabet like japanese, every letter is pronounced. This is especially evident in this word by the apostrophe. It's Ka-a-na-pa-li not Can-uh-pal-ee.

interesting. no game. forward tee's. high scores. and 44k subscribers. I'm impressed.

"Can-a-pall-ee"?? Haha...it's "Khan-a-pal'i" First time?

Ever thought of changing the slot machine music, to something more positive, slot machine gambling have destroyed so many peoples lives. Plus it sounds ordinary for a very good golf channel.
