Hey Adam, I just had my gallbladder removed about 2 weeks ago. Your story, determination, and outlook on both life and golf have brought me joy and hope in some of the hardest times. I can't wait to heal up and get back out onto the course, with God's help. I've watched nearly every video on your channel going back a year. Thanks for the awesome content, and for helping to keep me optimistic! You're the man!

Me: "I'll putt better on faster greens" Also me at the same track: "These greens are like ice". Great video

Adam, seeing you struggle on the greens like this is really impressive! Compared to your excellent regular putting stats it really shows how hard it is to putt on glass-like surfaces. If you're putting like this than I would be rolling them into greenside bunkers.

What beautiful scenery ❤

I always get a kick out of you saying "oooohhhhh Adam" after a bad shot. Mainly because I know the feeling. Lol

An 86 on that track is incredible dude! So narrow off the tees

Another simply beautiful golf course, the snow capped mountains in the background are gorgeous! Pretty good round considering how tough the course seemed

I’ll never forget what a former NBA guy said to me when we hooped in SA: I’m closer to Jordan than you are to me. Even the worst of these pros are so talented.

Adam you're on fire.... great idea!

Finding trees that shouldn't be in play, that's a major strength in my game along with houses,creeks,ditches and lakes😂 TBH you hit a lot of great combackets

You could have not posted. Instead, you demonstrated you're human. Good job

Even scratch men would need like 3-4 shots given per round to compete with lpga players. And the crazy thing is how much the game has advanced for women over the last couple of years. I caddied in the same group when michelle wie was playing the us publinx champ when she was like 16 or so. She was seriously impressive. So even though she didnt win, it was clear if she was that good that peak annika at the time would have roasted that field, and those were some of the best amateur men in the country

My home course is somewhat known for fast greens (I've had guests go from GIR to having a 40 yard wedge shot after a putt they couldn't baby enough) and we typically are somewhere around 11-12. My first round on the course was after a state senior amateur championship where the greens were measured at 15. I had 45 putts. You learn to leave yourself below the hole. When you're above the hole, intentionally hit the ball out of the toe to kill some energy from it.

So this is LPGA Major setup, not the norm for them. From the article Amateurs vs LPGA golfers - average scores, driving distance & more (March 2022) "....that the average course length on the LPGA is 6,400 yards and the average course length that scratch golfers play is 6,200 yards." That's a really good article full of lots of interesting stats and comparisons, a good read. I'm not belittling LPGA players in any way, just pointing out they don't normally play that length of course outside of Majors.

Fun day out there at Mission Hills Dinah Shore Tournament course. You me Juno and Derek got to get back out there. Maybe not so cold and windy next time. 👍👍

Thing is WHS calculates last 8 best out of 20 and a an amateur should try playing a variety of golf courses to get a closer to reality HCP. Well played on those scary greens!

As a similar cap, I've found that although courses like these do make a difference even if you are on point that day, they make way more of a difference if you are off that day. Scrambling gets way way harder.

Excellent finish, Adam!

Those greens were insane!!!

Great video. I don’t think people understand how good the lady pros really are. Their game’s are more applicable to average golfers as well distance wise compared to the guys hitting it a cool 330.

I have a great friend who plays on the Epson Tour (the Korn Ferry for the LPGA) and you would be amazed how well she hits it. Keep in mind she usually finishes mid-field at events so the best on the LPGA would smoke the average scratch player.

I wish I could putt like you. I'd be 3 putting most holes there... and 4 putting the others.

oh man, one of those days. not a good day to drive the ball like that. puts too much pressure on everything else, which showed on that front nine. i bet if you drove it well, somehow scrambling and putting would have felt 'easier' due to added mojo. but when the mojo is sapped before the green the added stimp becomes a real bogeyman.

Nice transition 11:39

Being within 3 if your handicap on the course ain't bad - looks like a 'normal round. Would be interesting seeing you in a similar situation but with a more "normal" drive performance.

My local club had a Lpga future world #1 turn up at her old local club. It was some sort of sponcer event. On one of the par fives she hit a drive straight down the middle. She then said "gents if any of you can hit it past my drive you'll get a sleeve of balls, just one thing you must hit the fairway". I must have watched 60 to 70 guys try. Only 3 succeeded, there were balls flying off in all directions. Now she was by far not the longest hitter on tour and weighed about 55kg. Quite an eye opener!

I played the stadium course at pga west a week after the american express. I played it at 6600 yards as an 8 handicap. The pro's play it at 7500 yards. It's where dreams of shooting 80 something go to die.

If I ever get a chance to play a track like that. I pray I’m hitting the ball decent. I have played some nice course in Myrtle beach and I play really good on quick greens and lush fairways. Get that spin because a lot of course in much summer time there really hard.

Hey Adam, I played a similar length, similar slope rated course in a two day competition in France. It was for over 25’s and I’m well over 50! Lol. There was a fair bit of rain 🌧️, wet fairways, lush sticky rough and slow, fairly unpredictable greens. It was a wash out - 97 and 107. I was exhausted and three days later still recovering… Many holes were well beyond my distances (drives were almost 50 yards shorter in the damp weather and every other club proportionally shorter). I did get a birdie on one par 3 (driver, putt) otherwise was happy scoring bogeys. But there too many doubles and some 8s and 9s mostly due to poor choices rather than poor play (though there was that too). Your channel has helped my game by helping me keep a good and simple overall attitude: just a few days previous, I carded one of my best recent competition scores of 85 by following your approach… thanks. Now if I can figure out how to make a living from golfing 🏌️‍♂️, that’d be great… (I did help publish a book some years ago - good golf is easy).

I always laugh when pretty good amateurs think they could compete on the LPGA. The consistency just isn't there.

Always play a tour venue, no matter what!!!

Beautiful course, but those greens, yikes FAST

Seems like you had a bad mental game on this day. Great video as always bro!

I would celebrate after an 86 on that course haha.

Adam, how can I get on private courses like you do?

Does anyone know what the leading ladies shot on that course?

I think you hit more shots from the sand than from the fairway :D

Just letting you know that what you did at 2:27 is illegal, you can't pat down the rough behind your ball.

Would like to see you play there again to see you if you can score better!! I think you would be able to!!👍🏌‍♂⛳

The camera never really shows how much break is in these greens.

These greens look super pure. I'd assume you'd putt them really well because how good of a putter you are and how true they are, but the adjustment to that speed will take a minute for sure.

Didn’t jump in the lake?

Before I even watch, The answer is no chance on even your best day.

The video shows that accuracy is far more important than distance. If the drives were 50yards shorter but always on the fairway it would have been so much easier imo. Still great golf I would dream of breaking 90 in the near future.

what legit 12 looks like compared to what the avg golfer says their course runs is shown here. most people play on 8 haha. 12 is fassssst

If you are putting on really fast greens, the ball won’t take the break until it starts slowing down . Also if your driver is not behaving ( like mine usually ) take a club that puts you in the fairway. You’ll cut out some of the doubles and make an odd par

So I’m really trying to determine where you guys continue to play golf. I live in Atlanta Georgia in anything that is not on the fairway or in the rough goes into the trees and you get a penalty. Everything that you’re playing off-line you can play it and scramble. I wish I had those opportunities.

If you ever become a scratch golfer will you rename the channel “not not a scratch golfer”? Lol

It sure is a shame that they moved from somewhere with so much history.

1st! You da man

Adam, shave close, stuff a bra and go Monday qualifier. They can't say no nowadays. Jus' sayin". Not that there's anything wrong with that.
