Woody is literally aiming left a tonne accentuating his slice. Couple of lessons will sort him out nicely. This course is clearly also nice and short. Good for confidence building. My local is 6,700 yrds off the yellows.
Yeah think this course is about 6000-6200 yards so on the slightly shorter side. Although probably about average in UK I’d say (of the courses I’ve played anyway)
@@kliether33 Opening my stance, focusing on keeping my arm closer to my body all the way through the swing, and a stronger grip, got my slice under control. I used to aim just like Woody did lol
Watching you both helps me understand more about my high handicap. Woody, you're doing the same thing I'm doing! Over shooting the hole with your putts. I'm trying to see if I can imagine a three foot circle around the flag. Hit it close to the pin will save more putts. Putting is my worst enemy! Thanks for sharing and showing your match! Now it's time for me to get out and play 18! Hoping I can break 100 today, but it will likely be closer to 110.
im subscribing, I was once a 9 handicap, and past captain at my local club, I took 15 years off, started playing again at age 60, I still use my fg17 Wilson blades I might change soon but have a ping i5 driver, im starting to hit the ball better of the tee, short game is rubbish, putting is generally rubbish, but im getting there, but I can still play the bunker shot well ill get better currently 28.9 handicap, ill keep you guys updated on my progress
As Mr.Stax says finally found a golf channel I can relate to , I watch golf mates which is semi relatable and Rick Sheilds as well but this golf is my golf Only took up golf in October and still shooting 90-100 and watching woody is like watching me in a mirror (mayb not so much of the left aim 😂) Keep up the good work lads and good editing of the video as well so for that it gets a like and a sub 👍🏻🏌️♂️🏴
Luke, on your 3rd hole, 3rd shot with the 60 degree wedge - leave all of your weight on your front foot. You don't need power for that shot, leaving all weight on the front foot within 60 yards will help with consistency.
Like a few people have mentioned the left set up woody has is massive . Promoting more slice. It’s gonna slice that much it will come back like a boomerang soon ! Lol Seriously though if he’s only been playing a year now is the time to get rid of it , because the longer he plays like that the harder it will be to make changes as he will be so comfortable playing that way any changes will just feel wrong .
Nice video, and it looks like I got in early and am starting on the subscriber ground floor! After watching Shiels and Good Good for so long, it will be nice to see both ends of the spectrum. Keep up the good work.
Club face angle determines the direction the ball starts out at. If the ball curves after the start that indicates swing path. Swinging from out to in will produce the slice curve and swing path from in to out will result in the draw curve ball flight.
Sorry, but I think you have it backwards. Actually, the swing path dictates the initial ball direction, and the club face angle dictates the curvature. For example (for a right-handed player), a pull-slice is caused by an over-the-top out-to-in swing path coupled with an open club face, which will start to the left but then curve to the right. Conversely, if you have the same out-to-in swing path with a square club face, you will just get a pull with no curve.
Mr Woody, have you tried using a full swing?, reminds me of the old dudes I used to play with.. I started by hitting the heads of the dandelions in the lawn at home. Helped with my hand eye coordination, and if I did take a divot either before or after the flower I was aiming at, apart from Dads wrath, I could see the path of my swing.. Just what helped me bro.. But you cannot beat practice and time on the course. Good luck!!
Has your buddy ever tried swinging with left hand clubs before? Just the way he's swinging reminds me a lot of people when they try to swing with their wrong side.
Actually to be precise club face open relative to the path results in a slice. Let me give a example. If a swing path is 5 degrees from out to in and the face is only open 3 degrees to the target, that looks like it's closed to the amateur but because of the 5 degrees out to in swing path it means that the face is actually open 2 degrees to the swing path. Which will result in a right curve.
Woody if you’ll just close your club face with your driver and woods but don’t change anything with your swing you can turn that banana ball into a slight fade..of course instructors not to do that but who cares it works and you’ll enjoy hitting your woods much more…✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Woody, your aiming 40 yards left on every shot causing a glancing blow with an out to in path and an open face, it's costing you distance and creating that big slice, square things up, I'd take a few lessons if you can to sort that setup you could half that handicap.
Woody you’ve got to work on your slice mate, your stance is all wrong. Watch a couple videos on rectifying that . Then have a good hour at the range. Don’t worry mate we’ve all been there.. watch a couple of Rick Shields videos he is really good. And good luck on your golfing mate
Like woodys pre shot routine. Gets those feet moving. Luke your opening swing looks pretty good. You shouldn't be a 20handi cap for Long. Woody look up dr kwon golf he can do wonders for your back swing.
Woody take a narrower stance when trying to play a chip shot pal not even giving yourself a chance. Play more 9/8/7 bump and run shots with a putting stroke watch your scores come down. Sort your grip out a bit as well, turn your left hand over more show all 4 knuckles wrap over your right then feel like you’re swinging the club on a path to the right and your body exiting left bye bye slice then watch it draw !
IMO I think you gave a bit too much of an advantage to the 30 handicapper here. In a normal 18 hole match the 30 handicapper would receive 10 strokes per side from a 20 handicapper. That means the 30 handicapper would receive a stroke on 5 of 9 holes on each side. That is just slightly more than a stroke on every other hole. I think a more fair adjustment here would have been to give the 30 handicapper a stroke on 2 of the 4 holes.
Well I looked at the SI ratings for the holes and in an 18 hole match he would have got a stroke on those holes so decided he could in this match. It worked out anyway 👍
@@UpDownGolf yeah everyone swing is different but the fundamentals of grip, posture, stance and ball position are mostly the same. It looked like he plays into his slice but instead he should square his feet and learn the right way... even if that means he's ob off the tee
So a 20 handicapper would expect to be around 4 over par on 4 holes, and a 30 handicapper around 7 over par. So are these guys handicaps realistic? Woody yes, Luke absolutely not, at 20 he's a total bandit and is playing nearer 10!
Really you don’t hit from the bunker because it hasn’t been raked…..then rake a spot and place your ball, how you gonna learn to hit out of bunker if you don’t try..
I was just telling my buddies the other day I'd watch shitty golfers play a round on tv. Not clebereties necessarily but average guys getting paid to win against other high handicappers.
