That Old Guy Who Kicks Your Ass 

Everyone needs a Milt in their golf group. His positivity is infectious. Great video as always, Adam!

Good video Adam! Like Milt - I've been playing golf for 50 years. My handicap hovers between 5 & 7. My son-in-laws outdrive me but get so worked up because I score better. Attitude is a big part of it. Everybody hits a bad shot here and there. How you react can effect the next shot. I've witnessed it all to often on the course. Guy hits a bad shot, then takes 1-3 shots or more to settle down. When you are complaining about the last shot while getting ready to hit a shot, you are setting yourself up for another bad shot!! Keep 'em coming!

What us oldsters lack in distance, we make up In experience and course management. Playing the proper tees is a must.

I'm same age as Milt, been playing 33 years. In golf, often we learn the hard way, the ego gets in our way. But we are trying to score, not hit that improbable 300 yard drive. Strategy allows for a score. Finally, I'd finish with this. One never stop learning in this game. If we don't believe that, there's always a triple bogey waiting

I think everyone needs that "Trusty" club like Milt's 9Iron. No matter what club it is, you need a club that you can count on when needed. It really does help with keeping the game from going way off the rails.

What a gem! Milt has a great attitude on the course. A couple more Adam/Milt collaborations may be needed in the future.

An instant classic! Milt is a delight - you’ve captured the wonderful nuances of playing your own game.

Milt is an absolute joy. The type of guy I’d play my best golf around!

Great video highlighting these guys out there! I played once with an older man who couldn't even bend down and used a special device to tee it up and pick the ball out of the hole. I had the distance advantage by a big margin over him, but he still kicked my ass in scoring by over 10 strokes. Straight and consistent does wonders for the socre

As as senior I can relate to Milt. It took me decades to learn to play my game. ie: Hybrids in my bag, No hero shots, ect.... Wonderful video. Thank you.

My Dad is almost 80 and I got him to start playing from the forward tees. He’s always hit it down the middle. So we start dinging Bing Crosby’s Straight down the middle song.

if milt learns to bump and run around the green with his trusty 9 iron, he's going to up his game even more! what a king!!

In my case it is because my 74 year old father still consistently drives 270 and plays 3 times a week because he gets lessons and that makes playing four times a week just too much. My dad is absolutely rocking retirement.

Dude! I got rando paired up with Milt and his son at Predator this past summer. Great guy, and what a thrill to see him on the channel. Gives me hope that maybe someday I'll get rando paired with Adam.... :D

At 63 I’m nowhere near as long as I was even 10 years ago. But I practice my short game about 4 to 1 over my full swing. I can still hang with the younger players in our group. I may not hit as many greens in regulation but I almost never lose a ball and I get up and down often. Still have a single digit handicap.

I really really enjoyed this video as a change of pace. Nice to see how golfing basics and knowing your swing can help shoot low

Good video, was a joy watching Milt play.

I really appreciate your videos. Some of my favorite. Such a realistic approach to the game. And I try to apply a lot of the management lessons to my own game.

He has a 4 wood and a 9 iron that does what it's told. His drives arent bad at all either. So, he has a reliable club for long, medium, and short shots. Milt has it made.

I'm 70 years old and playing the best golf of my life. In my younger years my scores were in the low 90s with a great rounds being in the upper 80s. At my age I've have left my ego at the door and play to my strengths which doesn't include distance. Nowadays my average scores or in the low 80s with good rounds being in the mid to upper 70s. There's nothing more satisfying than beating the younger guys bombing drives 280 yards while I'm hitting around 215 yards. My advice is to know your game forget about your ego and to concentrate on the short game and putting. My 2 cents.

The smile on this man's face when you interview him is so contagious.

Nice video! Accuracy is more important than distance if can only have one!

This was really cool. Nice work, Adam.

Milt has nice tempo, no rushed downswing.

Milt is awesome, his attitude and demeanor is something everyone should strive for on the course. For anyone who hasn't tried Swingtweaks it's fucking amazing. I messed up my first video and the coach sent me a credit to redo it, I thought he was going to be the one to review it but it was sent to a different coach. That coach didn't get any information about my game or swing because I thought it was the same guy and he already had it. Without any information, he gave me 2 great drills that i could do at home. The next day at the range I could easily implement the feels into my own swing. They really mean tweaks, just slight adjustments on what you already do, improved my consistency of strike like I couldn't believe. Usually if I hit 4-5 shots great with different clubs I'd feel on fire, the first time I used the changes I hit 12 in a row perfectly. I didn't even know what I was looking for or needed help and they totally fixed me up.

Never being out of position, making every putt from 10 ft or less, no OB, never attempting shots you can’t make.

I know all about it. I play with someone who is 69 and someone who is in the 70s. They are tough to beat. I've been beating them lately but previously they would beat me.

I think in 50 years if I'm playing like this guy I'd be very happy.

Man seeing milt beat my Personal best on a bad day for him wasn't the best for the game confidence today lol. I guess that's the main difference between 1 year and 50 years in the game!

Most helpful golf channel as far the mental side. You have great introspection. Thank you sir

Thanks for the shout out, Adam. If you want to set up the Pay Per View: "Battle of the Backswings" let me know the time and the place. Haha.

Love this! Thanks for sharing.

Milt’s consistency is key to playing good golf. He stays out of trouble for the most part, which is where most golfers pile up strokes.

Great course strategy advice! Played a links course in Texas after playing in Maryland for 5 months. I knew after a few holes that I needed to put driver away, and just focus on staying in play off the tee. I’m committed to playing the course again with a much more conservative strategy.

I was just talking about wanting to play Eagle Falls again. You made a video years ago that turned me onto that course and I had a great time there.

Milt plays like me. 😳 My 5-wood is also my favorite club, but instead of a 4- or 3-wood, I carry a 7-wood. I also don’t have an iron longer than 7-iron, and lean heavily on my 5-hybrid for any shot >150 yards. I need to work on my tee shot as, unlike Milt, my driver occasionally gets me in trouble, and I’m constantly working on my short game (oh, I also have a Ping ChipR). Remember ☝🏻 goal is to get the ball into the hole, any way you can … as Tin Cup said, “perfection unattainable” Good stuff … keep up the good work 👊🏻

Love this video. That is what I call truly enjoying the game of golf as it was meant to be enjoyed.

I knew I recognized that golf course! Eagle Falls. Wow, you had a day without wind.

These are the folks that make the game of golf, that support the clubs, that support the public courses, that make golf successful. It's not Jon Rahm or Rory or Tiger. It's the millions who go to the course every day, shoot what they shoot, enjoy the game.

I’m Milt too and I hope I can play golf for as long as he has and have his same attitude out there. Cheers!

I love Milt and his attitude on the course. He plays within himself and knows the distances on his clubs. I have guys I play with who are older than Milt and think they still hit their 8 iron 140 plus. We all have to accept as we get older, we will not be hitting each club as far. And it is a game. Go out there, have fun in the sunshine and enjoy the time with your friends.

This is the kind of guy I like to play golf with. Too many guys act, think and talk like they are playing Sunday at Augusta and it’s embarrassing.

Really liked this video. Does Milt use senior flex shafts or something stiffer?

Milt is an absolute LEGEND!

Glad I got a chance to play with you Milt at Tahquitz the other day. Look forward to joining up again. Us Rossie II putter guys need to stick together.

great video. Milt, you are a role model

Great video with Milt!! He knows his game and limitations!!🏌‍♂⛳

I built a chipper from a 9 iron, bent it vertical like a putter, added a bunch of lead to get to e 6 weight and cut to putter length with a Jumbo Max grip, it is like Milt's 9 iron a true old man zorro sword!! Video of the club build on the channel! Enjoyed the video and Subscribed!

Such a great perspective. I want to play a round with a Milt someday!

I’m just starting off in golf and never been on the field yet, and boy I got a feeling it’s gonna take me a while to get this consistent with my shots😂

I’ve always enjoyed Eagle Falls. It’s a fun little track. You ever make it out to Temecula? You might enjoy Temecula Creek Inn lmk if be happy to set up a round.

I am Milt now. When I was in high school I remember an old man at the local golf course. He made the paper for shooting his age more times than he was old (84). It really was amazing, 150 every time, straight as an arrow and NEVER a 3 putt.

Fantastic Video

I am 70 and have not played golf in 20years. I have a finicky back but his swing might work for me. I think I may give it a try. When I was younger i tended to overswing. Now with my back , etc. maybe i can get my mind to throttle back. Tell Milt thank you and blessed health. Bill from Florida.

Awesome video guys!this is the most valuable lesson in golf...if you dont get your ass handed to you by an older gentleman that hits it 150 down the middle every time,you dont wanna get better and will take forever to understand what it takes to start scoring!cheers boys!i call it the:how many majors does Bryson have lesson!

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but Milt's swing is very, very similar to Moe Norman's. That's probably contributing to his hitting it with so little curve. He basically has a single-plane swing, he keeps his back heel on the ground throughout, and he does the "buckle, sit, slide, bump" like the way Todd Graves teaches it on RU-vid. It's a very healthy way to swing in terms of injury avoidance, as well, because there is inherently much less stress on your back. Go Milt!

Milt kicks butt!!! Happy to pay for his round if I ever get a chance 🎉

Did all those golf trips and have to agree they are all fantastic. Around same age but I struggle to break 90 these days

This has nothing to do with Milt, but I'm trying to learn to hit a flop shot around the greens in certain situations. It has helped a lot.

Milt is a lefty like my playing partner of 40 years. My lefty is a 20m+ slicer off the tee and perennial 3 putter due to always leaving it short and low. Good times.

Adam, I love watching you play golf but damn I really need more Milt.

Next vid should show why you're a fan of Milt's game: that familiar pull hook but from the other side of the box! 😉

Adam, what does it take for you to edit and narrate one of my rounds so perfectly? Greetings from Singapore ✌️

Yep, Milt is nothing short of awesome! MILT "Man I like (his) Tempo".

He reminds me of my late grandfather. That's a massive compliment.

All the way from Australia - go Milt! What a legend!

I could watch that dude swing a golf club for days on end.

😂 I am Milt too. 62, play from 6k ish, D 3w, 5w, 4-6hy(sometimes 7hy), 7-lw. Don't hit them far but they work. Broke 80 twice this season but usually shoot 85-92 range.

Love the Title ❤😂

Old guys tend not to get in trouble. 150 yards down the middle everytime. 1-2 putt. Hard to beat.

Really enjoyed this. Milt seems like fun

Milt is an absolute legend!!!!

Milt is a beauty!

I’ve been beaten by a 70 year old guy that made par or bogey on every hole. He shot little looper fades all the way to the green then chipped and putted like a pro.

Milt seems like a real genuine guy. Not losing balls is huge to what I’d called “old man golf”. Straight down the fairway but not much distance, no lost balls, nothing fancy. The consistency is usually way higher than people who just grip and rip

That dude is an absolute vibe

Cheers Milt!

This shows how important that 40-80 yard pitch shot is. I lose so many strokes from that range.

I play like Milt. My partner I usually play with, sets his expectations too high. I just play my game and it is what it is.

my dad carries an old pw with him that he hits from everywhere like milt. love the old man game in golf.

I also play with my senior friend who kicks my ass consistently.

Short and straight

You seem to spend quite a bit of time in the Coachella Valley.....is that home for you? It is for me.

Great video😊. Is that a left handed golfer I C !

My brother and I played a round with a older guy who was about 70. He'd never played the course before. I'm not great but my brother's handicap was single digits. The older guy beat us like a rented mule. Not long off the tee but in the fairway every single time and his medium to short game was incredible. Never sleep on those old men, they're deadly. 😂

60 year old scratch golfer here. I routinely beat the kids I coach on our HS team because I know my game and can get up and down very often.

Played a 24 handicap Friday, he birded a par 5 si 3( on the green in 3 net 1) for a net albatross.....how can you beat a senior like that

Nothing to do with being senior. Has everything to do with being a good player.

Milt is a great dude

Milt is a good golfer he might have been able to shave off a few strokes with using his hybrid for a few of the chip shots just off the green that he putted but on a different day he probably gets those putts closer.

After watching this... is it spring yet???

That golf course is one of the best sub 7000 yard courses from the tips that I have ever played. Great use of space. Nice shootin' Milt!

This is why golf is so great. By the way, have you seen Old Man Pat on the Golfmates channel?!

Hide his old 9 iron quick 😂😂😂

If you can consistently shoot in the 80s you're better than 90 percent of golfers

My Grandpa shot 80 when he was 80. I could not beat him at that time and I was 20.

Milt seems like a phenomenal guy, and his attitude is exactly what I aim for when I play. Why bother going out if not to have a good time?

Milt has a slight resemblance to Arnold Palmer in certain angles.

This is how everyone should play golf and how most low/scratch golfers do play, the only difference is that their clubs go longer.

Have 3 woods and 3 wedges and all hybrids (4 to 9) and play off 13.2 - golf is so much easier now!
