This Mindset Let's Me Break 80 With a Bad Swing

Nothing will piss off other golfers more than someone spraying it all over and getting up and down all day lmao.

Dude as a 16 handicap who is FAR too concerned about how perfect my swing can be, this video is everything I needed, instant sub

Was about to call BS after your first 2 swings lol. This is clear proof how important your short game is. A lot of people including myself get fixated on making golf look pretty but at the end of the day it’s all about the score

I played nine holes with an Old Irish/Scottish man. (didn't know) He was at least 70 years old. He had a 3 wood and I think a 7 wood that he hit on every Par 4 and Par 5. He hit every fairway and was greenside in regulation on every hole. With a cut down 8 iron He chipped and 1 putted every green. He shot 36 on that 9. It was a tough course. Taught me a lesson about length and the value of the short game.

Nothing has showed me that i need to work on my wedge play like this video. Thank you. This is gonna make me break 80

This is great perspective for mid to high handicappers to understand that you don’t need a beautiful looking swing to be single digit. More golfers would play better if they had your mindset. You also have an incredible short game!

I’m a 14 HDCP but love your approach to the game— mindset and short game. GolfSidekick and Not a Scratch Golfer have similar approaches as well. Having the right mindset can do wonders from keeping your round from going off the rails. I think I could be a lower HDCP if I didn’t compound errors and thought my way around a course better.

Impressive short game for such bad tee shots. Never seen anything like it. Now I know where I need to practice. Great video.

7:26 Had me busting out laughing 🤣

Lots of people would have a single digit handicap with a short game like you. Well done.

Great short game and putting my man… ! I’m in the high 80’s low 90’s I can be even through 6 and then have 4 doubles back to back and throw my whole game off… the struggle

Your mentality is EXACTLY RIGHT! Chipping and lag putting is the key, I learned this last year after reading a great book. I began breaking 80 multiple times after switching my focus to chipping and putting.

That is a great lesson to keep in mind. Mindset is huge for every golfer. (Well, life in general) I think the golf course makes a pretty big difference also, because if I hit some of those shots on a closed course full of trees or tall grass, it would be a dropped ball. But still having that positive mindset helps you forget that shot and hit a good one next. Your short game is impressive. Also impressed that you've respoded to every single comment. Excellent stuff!

Your game is like mine. Can't hit a green to save my life but somehow I'm a single digit handicap. Keep it up!

I'm a 7,9 HCP and my swing is also, not pretty hehe, I've got plenty of power, but my irons are definitely my weak point and what I work on the most. Course management is never bad, but it's always a combination that's needed. My driver is definitely a weapon. It's rarely OB, I hit it plenty long, about 250-257 yards carry on the good ones, bad about 235 (thank you Qi10 Max :D) and with the roll we're getting right now, total is often 300+ yards, but that combined with my short game and decent putting, makes golf fairly easy. I would recommend Dan Grieve. His videos and book took my short game to the next lvl.

I've done that weird toe shank thing at a pro am with a bunch of pro's watching me 😂 you're right, you're not the only first or last person to do it!

Love this mindset. Getting to scratch and past is alll about minimizing the consequences of your mishits. Great video!

Hole 9 was the most inspirational. 3 bad shots, but the 4th shot was amazing. The short game is really good, especially the putting. I have been taking lessons for a year and a half and have just started going to courses. This video came at a good time for me. Very useful. Thanks!

As a 13 handicap, I can't tell you how valuable short game is. I have a buddy who is a 5 handicap and our game looks identical until we get under 100 yards in. His ability to get up and down with a wedge is the number one reason his handicap is more than half of mine

Big respect my guy, your short game and putting is friggin bananas!
