Playing as an 11 rn I get out at UBC 15 times a year. Awesome to see two great golfers go after this course from 6400y. The camera does not do the first four greens justice. They are menacing approaches that funnel to a hopeful 2 putt. Love seeing the Vancouver content and how you strategize around the city courses! Keep it up

That five iron swing was one of your better swings I've seen you hit on your channel on hole number two. All your other shots have such a long backswing that you struggle to get any power getting back to the ball. My two cents is to shorten your swing for more distance.

@sub_second_life3174 Жыл бұрын
I am only an 11 handicap but my swing looks better than my scores. This is just my opinion but you’re either not flexible enough or you are creating “fake speed” so you allow the hands and club handle to continue around your body while you start to rotate towards the ball. I think this is why makes your backswing look so weird. Try almost pausing at the top before starting down and towards the ball. There is a such thing as over rotation and it’s not necessary….

Great video. This is more of a compliment, but your swing does not look 'perfect'. However, you make it work. Do you have any advice for someone like myself who gets too analytical trying to create a perfect swing? What clicked for you in order to shoot low scores like this? I can't even seem to break 90 no matter how much I practice.
@ZiPolishHammer Жыл бұрын
His putting is much much better than most rec golfers, and while his swing is not beautiful he hits the ball with a square clubface the vast majority of the time and knows his distances. His worst misses are fats with mid irons which add a stroke here and there. You can play good golf doing that.
@haydenredl2919 Жыл бұрын
The difference in driving distance reminds me of me playing against my longer hitting friends. But I’m a few strokes behind in handicap still. Have to keep it tidy within 100 like you say and I hope to narrow the gap that can’t be closed by distance off the tee it seems.

Just as a general question, do u actively work on your swing and trying to make it more efficient? You get pretty good results but even cutting ur backswing down to 3/4 would get u to a lot better dispersion I’d bet, Ik you know your swing tho, love the content!
@NotAScratchGolfer Жыл бұрын
Hey Tom! I don't really like to practice, to be completely honest. It absolutely prevents me from becoming a much better golfer. It's a weird thing - I seem to dislike practicing as much as I love playing. And sorry to make an example out of you, but I think it's really important that amateurs get feedback from professionals and not other amateurs. The rare times I do take lessons, I always ask about my driver overswing, and every last time I've been told that it's extremely low on the list of things to change in my swing. It sure looks ugly, though :p
