How to take 8 to 10 strokes off your game immediately.  

I took 8-10 strokes off my game by not playing the last hole 😭

Jimmy, the only guy on RU-vid able to communicate how the masses (we high handicappers) can play better golf. Thank you!!

Possibly the most useful golf instruction video ever made. Well done Jimmy.

Thanks for the lessons!! Shot 80 today following your advice. I am usually at high 80’s or low 90’s Keep them coming Jimmy. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I love it! I wondered before the pause if you would decide to wedge off the tee to avoid the water. That’s what I told myself I would do. Nice to see someone finally focus on course management to get better. You got it going on, Jimmy!

Jimmy, Appreciate your humor, and your balls for showing your less than stellar shots. Your tips blow my mind. I'm a 20 handicap, and shot 84 the other day using your tips! Keep repeating yourself. I need the reps. Thanks pal.

I can tell you that what Jimmy is saying is absolutely correct. I'm a 5-6 handicapper now, by playing" more conservatively". So yes, put that F'en driver away or just don't bring it along. On any given 18, I use it maybe once or twice by rarely more than that. Only on holes that are "way open" so I can hit the ball with less risk. Back then, I used to play aggressively "trying to make eagles and birdies" but I was a 25 handicap, because I made many 6's, 7's, and 8's because I had to recover more often from a bad shot. Now I play for Par, and guess what, I do get some birdies, probably more than I did when I played aggressively. Now one of my obsessions is to never ever lose a ball. Do not get suckered in by the golf course trying to "go for it"... don't do it unless you have a high likelihood of making the shot. Hit it conservatively to the front of the green if the back has trouble, a chip on the green can be better than a difficult 60' put,, play smart.

I never subscribe watching one video but I liked everything about this one. Well done in all aspects sir.

Thanks Jimmy. I really appreciate this video. I'm 70 years old with a 14 hcp and it wasn't until I retired that I started playing smart golf. And that's when a good time turned into a great time on the course with my friends. 👍

Your content rocks. How do you not have a million viewers on each video? The way you play is so cool and makes golf fun for guys like me. Keep making videos. Good job. Slapdaddy golf

Excellent... Common sense wins again, your philosophy and simplicity of the game is so easy to understand, it's genius, thanks again your creation of confidence for the player is so rewarding ... Comfortable golf and a true confidence builder for us higher handicappers. Love your fantastic attitude to enjoyment of the game of golf, Happy days😊

Nice video and explanation. A friend of mine who shoots in the 70's told me that scoring on the golf coarse doesn't come from the shots you hit, it comes from the decisions you make. Most of us can hit good shots when we aren't trying to "go for it" on every shot. I only knew one speed for the longest time and that was as hard as I could hit it. Now I'm working on slowing it down and learning that it makes a big difference.

You flushed that 5 iron approach on hole one👌. Great ideas 💡

Hi Jimmy. Love this style of video cos you showed us exactly what each shot looks like and how not to get a big number on a hole. Plus it helps me feel like I can swing similar to you even though my is less professional 😅. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and help keeping our ego in check! 😁😊

Jimmy, I like your style. Most guys won't have the discipline to pull that off and some will still hit a 7-iron OB.

The golf instructors that go on and on are missing the point. This is golf instruction for common people. For golfers that can’t comprehend the crap they throw out. And who can? Thanks Jimmy. Brilliant !

Jimmy your all class thanks for taking the time to show us hackers another way.

Thanks Jimmy. I usually loose 2 to 3 balls a round. You're methodology is a great help.

⛳⛳⛳ Glad I watched this. This should make the game more fun.

Exactly the video I needed to watch. ❤

26:12 - that swing is my spirit animal...

This approach will be my mindset from now on. I've really had a problem with keeping my ego at home, but this is certainly one step further on.

Dude's got good action, and wise words. Listen up HHers

Boy, I wish I watched this a couple years ago! Thanks Jimmy.

Very nice lessons, jimmy!!! Thanks!!!

Thanks for all the great tips on course management. This Saturday, I will definitely put them all in practice and hope to start breaking 90 consistently. As always, please keep the videos coming 😊

Awesome video thanks for posting

On your approach on your 3rd hole, the ball goes further not because of forward spin. It just has less backspin because the ball is much less compressed out of longer grass getting between the ball and the club face. You’re welcome! lol

Thanks Jimmy

From the appearance of your course, I now see how and why your game is iron-centric! II would be 7-iron, 7-iron for the first two shots on most of these holes. I do love the low tracking 5-iron shot, something I need to use a bit more when things look a bit dicey. Eliminating my 4 blow-up homes per round will get me to high 80s, easy. Great content my friend.

Thank you! Very good and sensible lesson.

Excellent down to earth practical course management advice, that I will definitely be taking to the course!

Love your stuff Jimmy! Great content! I am constantly telling myself to slow down on the course now and it’s helping my game immensely. Thank you for sharing🙏

Awesome video. After seeing how tight that second hole was and then going to the third you were like THIS hole is hard! 😮

Thank you!!! Great instructions

Great video Jimmy,ive never looked at it this way but you've opened my eyes and i definitely will be doing this from now on,so glad i came across your channel 👍

Thanks Jimmy. Great advice and you proved it true by showing it can be done.

Keeping it simple, thanks for the tips coach!

Great video on course management and playing the shots you know you can make! good golf is not about hitting the sexiest shot love it!

What a great lesson!! Thanks Man!!

I’m getting there! It has taken a lot to get the Ego out of the way.

Great point. My only time on golf course 2 years ago. My 3 wood sliced every ball into the woods. Lossed 9 balls on 9 holes. So your video will make me think next time

Thank you so much, can’t wait to apply this excellent course management! Awesome!

A great simple concept for course strategy! Thanks

Great lesson.

Tremendous video ... possibly one of the best sensible how-to ones I've ever watched ... and I watch a lot of golf vids :)

Jimmy you are a star, love your video, simple but amazing thank you for sharing this😊

Great video Brotha! Ive been teeing off with a 7 wood lately which carries 180, but its dead accurate. Thank you for the video!

Thanks

AWESOME!!!

You described my game! I have to try this!!

Great advise Jimmy. Thanks. Where I add up the score is hitting behind the ball on my 2nd &/or 3rd shots. I take my hybrid, 6 iron or 7 iron and hit 2 inches behind the ball not sending the ball far. The next hole I hit those shots perfect then I screw it up again on the following hole. I can keep my tee shot in play.

Great vids bro!

Absolutely identify with you. Thank you!!!

Great tips Jimmy 👍

Thank you for this video. It makes so much sense. Its about changing MY mindset and ego.

Great advice!!! Grandpa golf is what I call it and I wish I would started playing it 30 years ago. But oh no back in the day ..... my ego would of had me hitting driver off the tee box on everyone of those holes and I would be 6 over just like you said. Now my golf strategy is to always try to position myself to where I am 110 to 130 yards out and I can hit my favorite iron...PW. I know once I have that in my hands I am on the green 80 (or close to it) percent of the time. To all the golfers out there, just try it. Put the ego away and you will be beating your buddies in no time.

Good stuff Jimmy.

Honestly one of the best videos I have seen in decades. Must watch before any amateur gets on the First Tee

Some of these tips will for sure help me break 80 more consistently. There are few holes at my local course where I know I need to leave the longer clubs in the bag at certain times. 😊

Great movement. Play smarter. Also congrats on winning Holy Moley. Me and my 4 kids were rooting for you man. We watched it on Hulu. You crushed them. 😊

Thanks Jimmy,your help is always appreciated.Maybe if you could do a what's in the bag in the future? I would certainly find it interesting how you built your bag to what it is today

Thank you so much. That's the thrue of golf game. 👏👏👏👏

Great video.

Jimmy did you put the flag back? Thanks for the great advice . You have one of the best hands down videos on RU-vid for the way you explain things all through the course. Not only high handicappers can play better golf mid, and low handicappers can as well.

great stuff man, love it. Can you do a video where the camera is facing you (front view) as you hit the ball? tee and fairway shots.

My golf coach gave me a brilliant tip to cut at least 10 shots off my score.He told me to either walk off after the 17th or cut out 2 of the par 3's.

Great video as usual Jimmy. I’ve decided my next round of golf there will be nothing in the bag but irons and putter of course not going to give the ego a chance to make me take out the driver and try to swing out of my shoes. Thanks again Jimmy love all your videos

Jimmy those holes are a tad short ours 390 to 440 yards.7 iron wont cut it Use driver off tee set for iron shot firm punch 3/4 swing,low 200-220 yards,then 5, then wedge But good advice After 2 good shots I'm pulling the triger ooops OB chalk a 10+ ive no control I'm yet to fin a round without smashing one after 3-4 good hits oops, Wish I had your will-power. Great vid.

Hey Jimmy you’ve done a great job of showing the swing from the back view as well as face on. Could you do a view from the front also? Just to show how the arms release. Preciate you 🤙🏽

I always keep 100,000 consistent balance I never lose my golf ball this is definitely a iron play course I use a half swing too most of the time staying in play is smart nice video thanks

I usually hate these types of videos but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Fun to watch and the information is very simple, but makes complete sense, and sinks in. I shoot mid 80s, and my goal this year is to break 80. Thinking like this on the course would help even me for sure.

OK, finally got out and played 18 holes after watching your videos, playing the best round I have played since I moved to Tellico Village in Tennessee I admit I haven’t played a lot of golf the last two years because of my addiction to pickle ball, but I went out and shot an 89 for me was an excellent round missing three birdie, putts and four par putts. I have to say the people playing with me even asked me what has changed, and I shared with them the fact that I was watching your videos. I am very encouraged to continue to work on my game with the simple swing thought. I should have easily shot 86 . I only have one question when you bring your arms back and wave to the camera is that your wrist cocking or is that too much to think about. Thank you so much.

You took the fun part out of this game, I knew course management are important

Playing smart golf, its the best way to play and you can get more aggressive as your ball striking gets better. If you can stripe driver, do it but you have to be smart about your choices! Great video!

Great advice....so many of us overly focus on hitting the "perfect" shot to the detriment of basic common sense course management. The only ques/ difference that I would have is in regard to the short chip shots that you showed. You have mastered your 69 degree wedge. Wouldn't most mid to high handicap golfers have better results keeping the ball lower to the ground and running their chips , when an obstacle (bunker) doesn't need to be covered?

Keep it in the grass. Yess sir !!

Jimmy, you should have seen my face light up when you changed your mind on that 3rd hole with the lake on the left😂😂😂. I have advocated for years playing more or less like you are playing here. It's so amusing when people comment after 5,7,9 holes that I am even or 1 or 2 over and all I have done is hit unspectacular iron shots...oh, and they are 10 or 12 over after 9 holes😂

Solid game plan sir. Q: when having a dominant left to right ball flight, why tee up on the left side. Seems teeing on the right of the tee box allows the ball have the chance to land in the fairway? Great vids,dassit.

Oh & by the way Jimmy, I'd bet you your merch store would fly - boy's got style!

Jimmy's tips works..play to your strengths..that 160 yard shot surrounded by bunkers and water..fuhgettabout it..play to the front and chip on..take the problems out of the equation..shot an 88 first time with this mindset.

This approach is golf gospel. This is sensible, every man golf. I’m glad he references your playing partners. If you discipline yourself to manage the course you will get lower scores. Another way to think about this is to play for par or bogey. You’re not likely to get birdies unless you are a highly skilled golfer, which we are not.

Great video and this is the fundamental logic to lower golf scores, look for the safe landing, keep the ball in play, and keep the ball in sight. People always look at me odd when I use my irons off the tee on par 4s and 5s, and by the end of the round they are like, wow great score!

So have yo tell you about today. I was not hitting the ball very well. Being a 16 handicap it was worse than usual. I kept focus on your 5,5,5 system and just keep it in the grass. For not playing very well I shot an 88! Love your videos, keep them coming.

Fromt the videos I noticed from "normal" lies most of your misses, although slight, are to the right. Do you think this is alignment or the rearward ball position ? My righties seem to result from playing the ball back in my stance.

Sundance theory. Greatest tip ever. For every golfer on the planet. Next time you go to the driving range place the ball tray behind you. Rack each ball one at a time to in front of you. This is what you will see on the T box and fairway when you play. This takes the multiple balls from your sight and takes the nervousness from your warm up. Good luck

If you're fairly confident that the ball is not going left off the tee, then tee up on the right and aim down the left. That way you would have even more fairway to aim into.

Great vid Jimmy. What sunglasses are you wearing?

Great advice. It’s fun to hit the big shots, but they are low percentage. It’s MORE FUN to turn in scores that beat your buddies!

1st time out this year and I shot an 88. WooHoo, Not bad for a 77 year old. Thanks, Jimmy! 😊

Love the vid Jimmy! Great advice! What might also shave some strokes off your round… You (all golfers!)should have a device that will give you and more precise number to your target. Just sayin…

Lake of fire LOL!! Next video less go!!

“If you don’t take your medicine, you won’t get better.” Love it! Sick.

Jimmy. Happy New Year to you buddy. Amazing video. Had a horrible round last week, driver, driver driver. Scored 103. I am going without the driver next time and follow your instructions I sincerely Thank you for helping us along, your lessons are priceless. I live in LA and I truly wish I could meet you to day Hello. Thank you buddy. Bless you and your family.

damn it seems like every hole on that course is super narrow! great content as always!

The pump lateral move is gold shot 76 yesterday

Excellent video. Thank you from the UK, Jimmy. What's the name and location of this golf course?

Very good video, but it would be better if you talked about the distance your dealing with. For example, when you hit the 60 degree, im now wondering how far did you hit that

Jimmy, you need to have a word with the Head Greenskeeper. Those fairways look awfully rough.

Ive been trying the "bump" forward method, but I seem to be chunking/fatting the ball a lot. Not sure why, any thoughts?
