Tips To Becoming A Scratch Golfer

Course management is paramount to shooting lower scores. If you can't mitigate your low percentage shots, you are doomed to post monster scores. Great content. New sub.

I’ve watched hundreds of golf tips videos to improve my game. Although I’ve heard those tips before somewhere. But this video is by far, my number one. No acting but straight to the point. Love it!

That was very sound course management tips there brother. I am constantly trying to keep myself reeled into playing the boring golf approach instead of taking the hero shots and pin-seeking approach shots. It's not like I have not been beaten repeatedly by the old guys who play the kind of sensible (boring) course management golf that you are encouraging here. Well done.

Can we see a 9 or 18 hole game that you play? It would be interesting to see how you play an actual lie in a real game

The best advice I've ever received on a golf course. There's no shame in laying up.

Good advice, man. Love your work.

Very informative and learned a lot that I can take to the course and practice green.

Hands down my favourite video ive watched for becoming scratch.

Nice tips man appreciate the work you put in to share all this with us 🤙 I had to start playing really boring, consistent golf to get scores below 70 consistently as well. I used to always have one one hole a round that was a double or triple from going for a foolish, low percentage shot. Play the par 5s for birdie and more often than not, you can start counting the par 5s as birdie holes 🤙

A lot of great golf wisdom I really like a lot.

New subscriber, great advice and love the content. Keep it coming br

Your first point is so important and something I really need to remind myself about more often as a high handicapper. I worry about MY game and do what works for ME, and I’m shooting high 80’s. If I try to base my game off of what I think other people are doing or I hit a club I know I’m only hitting because of the group I’m playing with and I’m in the mid-high 90’s or worse.

Love the shoulder shrugs 😂😂😂. Great video Mate!!!

they way you shallow your club is awesome, would pay big money to be able to do that lol. awesome video enjoyed it

What really helped me drop down to a 13 handicap (from 26) was speed training. It was mainly just getting reps in hitting the ball but with speed training, I managed to gain almost 10mph club head speed. Being closer to the hole and having a shorter iron in to greens has helped immensely. I was swinging 97-98 mph occasionally getting one above 100. 230-240 carry, 250 total. My 7iron was my 150 club at the time. Now I’m averaging 107mph with a personal best at 112. Carrying consistently 260-270+ and I’ve rolled out to 300+ a few times. That 150 shot is a strong 9 or a 3/4 8iron now. Distance does make the game easier….. that also comes with finding a proper swing. Now I just need to learn how to read a green and putt properly. Single digit handicap in no time.

Many of these tips will come with general adult maturity. You can tell this gentlemen’s age by the partners he plays with. Good players will never be bothered by peer pressure. Once you reach your late 30s and 40s, no one gives a shit about what club you use for any specific length, unless they’re asking for advice. Trying to be an Alpha in a group of 20 somethings means nothing if your playing partner sticks a 125yd par 3 with an 8 iron, and you overshoot the hole with a PW. In my 20s, if I was playing a 310yd Par 4 that was surrounded by sand on 3 sides, I went for it every time, and I failed 9 out of 10 times. He’s giving great advice here for less mature golfers. I wish I followed this advice in my 20s, but maybe you need to make these mistakes to improve. My mid 40s game is the best it’s ever been, and I golf half as much as I once did. Golf is a metaphor for live!!!

I appreciate the strategy tips. Any recommendations for better shot dispersion/better accuracy? Like how to practice/play to improve?

Glad I found your channel!

Great advice!

Good advice.
