Well..... I'm never watching a new golf video ever again. No stupid overlays, no counter productive jump cuts. No overhype because of people's own lack of true confidence. This video is about playing the game to do well and enjoy it. Thank you Bobby
The utter simplicity of the advice he offers in this video and part 1 is refreshing. With modern content being put out by hundreds of golf pros every day, it's almost impossible to figure out what's right because so many people are teaching different things. We've gotten to a point where we're so technical nowadays when in contrast Bobby was not. I'd bet if you took an amateur golfer and gave them 1 hour with Bobby vs. one of the modern golf pros teaching today the contrast of how much better the player would be after the hour with Bobby would be astounding. KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid....
go look at part one. there's some even better shots in there, and a broken camera too!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uO7qMNUz2_Q.html you don't see golf vids like that any more!!
@@lazy_dad Seriously! How have I not seen videos with the golf ball whizzing past the camera?!?! Seems like someone needs to recreate this with a cheap drone...
Scarier to think we are all running out of time. Do you golf a lot? Notice how many animals, birds,frogs,fish, turtles you see? How about the trees? In good shape? Scallops cost $25 a pound. Just saying. Bugs on your windshield any more. The prognosis is poor.
I luv watching his video. He teaches basics. Everyone has there own style but following basics will always take you a long way. I have been working on this and my swing and contact are improving a lot because of these videos
Yes I know. Its so smooth. Like Freddie Couples. Both cup the wrist at the top. I play my best when I do not follow modern swing instruction. Cupped wrist lets you feel the weight of the club and with a slight pause at the top creates that effortless power.
243 yards with a 2 wood up hill at Riviera country club, and I was just watching the LPGA today and a few girls had 245 into the green with a modern-day 3 wood and were coming up 25-40 yards short into a slight breeze.( and it was a flat golf hole ) Bobby was using Hickory shafted club , wood head , with an old Haskell ball. ( It was the first rubber-core golf ball ) Just goes to show how powerful his swing truly was ! I wanted this Golf My Way DVD set when it came out on the goldf channel but it was very expensive.
Watch most any utube video today and they say Amateur as being a bad golfer which is wrong . Bobby Jones was a lifelong amateur and beat all golfers in open championships he simply couldn't accept money for winning. He won thirteen majors and retired at age of twenty eight years old. He went months without touching a club and usually won. Those facts to me makes him probably the greatest of them all. He was practicing law while winning many of his majors.
Bobby Jones was a lifelong amateur,he won thirteen majors while going months without touching a club and usually won. He retired at 28years old in 1930 from championship golf. He was practicing law while winning many of his majors. Those facts makes him one of the greatest players in history of not the greatest. Not many could go without playing or practicing and then win a major, he did over and over.
@@MrNmitch17 whatever tittle you want to give him... he was amazing and way different than any modern player(Pro) or PGA coach who teach completely different techniques. He is definitely worth listening to. Thanks for the correction.
I've never seen these amazing recordings of the Legendary Bobby Jones (Now bookmarked for many references) The teachings of golf these days are far too complicated with many instructors having 100's of videos that just comfuse you. I am never watching any other golf instruction videos on RU-vid, except those of one instructor that I've been following for years (who has a simple philosophy), Ben Hogan and Phil Mickelson for the short game. It's a testament to the legacy of Bobby Jones that footage from nearly 100 years ago makes more sense to me in the past hour than any of the Top 100 golf instructors teachings I've been watching for the past 20 years!! I only own 3 golf books. Down The Fairway, The Five Lessons and Harvey Penick's Little Red Book!
Another book you might enjoy is "The Education of a Golfer" (a biography of Sam Snead, wriiten when he was in his 60's). At one time this was the most popular book among the pro's. A fun read about his life, his golf, and lessons learned (including golf tips, gambling and betting, playing under pressure etc.). Hope you check it out (PS agree with your comments). MG
i always wondered if these golf movies were made to be watched just as entertainment in movie theaters or for sale to pro shops or golfers. the first gold instruction videos i guess. i've been watching them for years on vhs tape.
Originally they were played before a movie in theaters they called them shorts and we're very popular, later in the seventies the film was tracked down and put out on VHS later to dvd
