THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SCRATCH GOLFER AND 7 HANDICAPPER?

Рет қаралды 154,520

Today Scratch Golfer Smilee and I played Chorlton Cum Hardy Golf Course. It's a challenging course with tree lined fairways. Lee's handicap index is +0.3 and mine is 5.6. Normally on Chorlton I receive 7 shots.
In this round we take a look at the difference between a Scratch Golfer and a 7 handicapper. We play 5 holes here and you'll see the differences in the round. It's just more consistent for Lee. As a low handicapper, it's a rollercoaster.

My main focus is to create relatable and funny golf content while helping to improve the golf game of the average golfer! I also like to explore the Best Golf Courses around the world and Golf Courses Near Me!
I want to help Lower Your Handicap by sharing Golf Tips that help to Fix Your Slice, Fix your Hook and hit Longer Golf Shots! My channel features PGA Pro Lessons on how to Strike Your Irons Better, How to hit Long Distance Irons, Approach Shots and how to Draw or Fade your Golf Shot to get it Closer To The Hole.

Absolutely loved this video. It’s a great subject and I found it really interesting to see the different approach to shots and shot making. I have to also say, what a great addition tonthe channel Lee has been. I love his calm, accepting, thoughtful and unhurried approach to the game. I’ve been playing twenty years and have maintained a single figure hcp for over a decade now. But I’ve learnt so much from watching Lee and the way he thinks his way around the golf course. Huge kudos to Liam, Lee, The production team and the rest of the group for creating a compelling, funny, interesting, light hearted look at the game we love. And I get to watch all of this for free! It’s certainly helping me through this extended lock down here in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

This channel isn’t only about the game but also the community of golfers who also share the love of the game. We’re still in lockdown in our part of Canada so keep these videos coming it helps me get through the golf withdrawal I’m having now. 😂

What a great addition Lee is. The one thing I’ll take away from this is to stop trying to smash everything. Trying to develop a smooth, consistent and repeatable swing is the way to bring my scores down. Liam, your short game is nuts. I would kill to have your confidence when chipping and putting. Class video!

Noticeable difference is Lee makes the game easy for himself with good course management, Liam puts himself in difficult situations like having to chip over bunkers but is saved by having a great shortgame 👍 Also Lee saying ‘this 9 will give me more check than the 8’ is a little gem, just shows he’s always thinking 👌 cracking video again!

I'm all for this type of video once a week. I like how Lee explains what type of shot and why in a concise way. Too many youtuber golfers drone on, and bombard you with advice. Lee keeps it quick and simple.

@johnkitchen4699 3 жыл бұрын

Outstanding video. The analysis at the end is brilliant and should be written as the opening to every book on golf tuition. Take the extra club, swing consistently and smoothly, work on the short game and putting. Thanks Liam and GolfMates- the last two days have been superb illustrating why golf should be fun and how to get better at it (which adds to the pleasure). Liam - you have put together the best team possible. Lee is a great addition because of his gentle teaching style, OMP and Mr Barlow are the heart of the Mates, Josh is the excitement, and your dad, Pete, Stu, Joe, etc make the package complete. Thank you.

@geraldhiller2665 2 жыл бұрын

What a fantastic video. I’m a 6.4 index and have been searching the last three months for videos on how to get to scratch. This was so eye opening. What I took away from it is that Lee plays “boring golf”: fairways and greens. I love how Lee knows his golf game so we’ll. There were a few times he mentioned his high ball flight would get held up in the wind so he adjusted. Lastly, on his birdie tries he said “Just give it a chance.” He didn’t come up short on those putts. I’m going to incorporate those nuggets in my game and hopefully I’ll get closer to scratch.

@adrianscott6005 3 жыл бұрын

What a brilliant video and did exactly what’s it said on the tin !! Lee is a fantastic addition to the channel and videos like this are gold dust. I’m a 16 HC and can be good but inconsistent with both long and short - will certainly try and practice consistency of strike and short game over the summer - but Lee also uses OMP’s traffic light system for sensible course management

You've hit the nail on the head for me. Since having lessons, all I can think of over the ball is 100 different things I'm supposed to do, if I can just clear my mind and swing, I'm a million times better! It's so hard to do though, was better before lessons when I just swung away!!

That was one of the best ones so far. Lee has shown how better it is to be rhythmical in your swing with a club higher, rather than trying to break the back of the ball with the wrong club. This then takes any negative thoughts out of the equation.

What a fun video - great guys! My game is similar to Liam, about a seven handicap. I noticed that he has the same problem as me, he takes the club too far inside. Lee swings straight back on the plane and thus is easily able to downswing on line for more consistent straighter shots. His slow, smooth temper also helps - I tend to swing to fast and jerky - working on that. Thanks for the video!
