I’ve just discovered you on RU-vid. I have only seen two of your videos, but I really like your approach to the game using strategy. It certainly helps that your shots are very consistent and reliable, unfortunately, mine are less consistent, therefore less reliable. Accepting your swinging shape, really speaks to me. I consistently end up in the bunker if I’m aiming for the pin and the bunker’s on the right. I will try your strategy next time I play.
Stumbled upon your channel and love it I worked HARD on my swing last winter and went from 11.6 to a 9.2 (when was best). I desperately NEED to learn better course management I am a 9.6 and handicap has ranged 10.6-9.2 and when was a 9.2 the course I was on that week I knew my bail outs very well and putting was spot on. Thank you for the great channel. Dan
Blow up holes. I’d be a consistent low-90, maybe even high-80 if it weren’t for these. At least 2, very often 3, per round - and they totally destroy my card. I used to be around 5 of these per round so I’ve gotten better, but this is still a killer. And most of the time it’s not from a bad decision, but just bad shots, i.e. chunking 2 in a row on approach, or blading one over the green leaving a bad lie to chip out of. Lots of work still to do. Good video.
I really enjoy your videos. I'd love to see you comment on consistency. I drive the ball well, but out of 10 drives I will hit 5 straight, 4 fades, and one hook. How do you deal with that? (The hook usually gets me into trouble.) My 7 iron is my safety club. But on a recent round I was hitting my 7 iron really well, then I hit a great drive on 18 and was completely confident I could hit the green easily with my 7. But then I totally topped it. I am not even sure that to call that in terms of a problem.
@@JonPerkinsGolf Will check them out! I also wanted to ask, I have been practising at the range quite a bit and I try to switch between the 2 golf clubs near me (one range is mats only, the other is grass but its not that great grass) and obviously I am hitting alot better off the mats than the grass. How do you think I should go improving hitting off grass? I only play about a round or 2 a month and seem to not really have an issue on the course, but I feel like my range session is wasted if I am hitting off grass.
I've always found people tend to have one or two clubs they're a bit more confident with, usually something with a bit of loft. Often find 5 or 7 woods and hybrids are a good starting place - something that is easy enough to get airborne but that you don't try to overhit. Build confidence with a controlled swing if you can. Good luck
I learnt from an earlier video.....dont talk to Jon when his velco is done up or if he's walking on the green (he's probably counting paces). I used to wonder why he was ignoring me!
I have to admit I've been fighting my shot shape with my driver... For some reason I just can't accept and aim for the fade, therefore really well hit drives are resulting in lost balls! Silly really
