1 - Hit one shot shape: ❌ 2 - Have a safety shot: ✅ 3 - Just hit the green on chips: ✅ 4 - No 3 putts: ✅ 5 - Play and practice: ✅ I'm a 15 handicap.

I got mine from 12 to 3 in 1 year by practicing draws and fades with all clubs. It really helped me with understanding swing mechanics.

@waynel6310 11 дней назад

Scratch golfers know their yardage. Alot of high handicappers pick up an 8 eight iron when they need a 6, because the people they play with hit longer than them, and they don't want to feel embarrassed.

@CoachLockey 11 дней назад

I hear you 👍 maybe I need a part 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this 😂

@waynel6310 11 дней назад

@@CoachLockey you should have it covered by part 8. Keep up the good work mate.

@Dean_R1 11 дней назад

It's not that they feel embarrassed, they just remember that single 8 iron shot they hit 160 yards once and think that is what they always do, when in reality they hit it 130.

@laubielaubscher 9 дней назад

I was scratch st 16. 30 years later, it still fluctuates between 0 and 2. I play only once a week. Routine is key on every shot. Keep it simple. See the shot, i.e., shape high landing spot. Scores lie in the short game. Allways practise the short game. Putting. Getting comfortable with sol8d routine over 3/4 footers. You can then hit your first putts more confidently and eliminate 3 putts.

Great perspective and confirms I am in the right mindset this year. I am hell bent on becoming a scratch and have lowered my handicap every season! Tips 1 and 2 haven't been in my process but is a brilliant addition. I am been hard on myself because I am a natural fader but have been trying to correct that. Now I will own it and apply it on the course. #2 I kind of do in the form of my most comfortable club(s), 7 and 8 irons...thus I strike these most comfortably. Is this what you mean or a swing that I apply to all clubs?

@alunpugh6301 11 дней назад

Nice one coach. One thing i found out today at the course, after a disastrous first three holes i scrapped the score card and just played golf. The worry over high scores evaporated and i started playing half decent golf for once. I'll be playing without a card for the next few weeks and just concentrate on the way I'm playing.

@allansmith5489 11 дней назад

@@CoachLockey I stumbled upon something on Instagram the other day and it was Nelly Korda saying exactly that. I think we get too hung up on beating our handicap or getting a good gross score rather than just that shot at that time. I'll be trying to do this tomorrow in the start of our summer league.

@supercooloz13 9 дней назад

Being able to work the ball, high low, draw fade , has really helped me I was a fader exclusively now I draw the and can execute a fade when needed, practice my short game , then practice more short games around the greens find a good putting routine a stick with it, did I mention short game!

@stuartmcinnes2903 10 дней назад

100% Turn the doubles and triples into bogeys by managing expectations from the circumstance you find yourself in and most high single figure handicappers will be off 2 or 3 within 20 cards with the WHS system. Don’t be scared to take an unplayable rather than hack around in heather. Know the rules! Then hole 5 more putts a round and boom, you’re there. Count your score in level 5’s, or 4’s, rather than par depending on where your game is. You’re most likely to be well under 5’s which builds confidence.

@ScratchGolfer0 10 дней назад

Only line i disagree with is "the answer is usually more distance" i would swap distance with tighter dispersion every time, thats how i got down to scratch, driver is still long with a slower swing, but iron play improved dramatically with less distance

@CoachLockey 9 дней назад

Do you have a tighter dispersion with your 7 iron or 8 iron? Or let’s go extreme, do you have tighter dispersion with your 7iron or wedge? Hit it longer and you have tighter dispersion because you’re closer to the hole. Hit it longer and also work ok dispersion, well that my friend is a dream combo

@WorkingFromHomeToday452 7 дней назад

The data would disagree with you

@ScratchGolfer0 7 дней назад

@WorkingFromHomeToday452 no it doesn't at all.... Tiger Woods is the only hyper successful long ball hitter, why?? Because he was straight with everything and his dispersion was insane.... there is 0 data that shows distance is better than accuracy. 0

@WorkingFromHomeToday452 7 дней назад

@@ScratchGolfer0 you’re trolling, right? The most successful golfers are big hitters. We have all of the strokes gained data that Mark Broadie published a long time ago. You’re better off being closer to the hole, even if you’re in the rough. We also know that dispersion patterns don’t vary much. It’s typically about 65-70 yards with driver for decent golfers. That’s why they challenge bunkers to hit from 130 vs lay back with iron to hit from 180. Also, there’s no guarantee that the “safe” iron shot finds the fairway.

@CruceEntertainment 7 дней назад

I would add a few other things. Scratch golfers have a good grip, they keep their head very still through the swing (little to no swaying), and when chipping they know where they want the ball to land and start its rollout.

@grahamdodsworth6871 11 дней назад

Thanks coach, do three out off 5

@mickspsmith 7 дней назад

I'm not scratch, play off 4. I would add if I'm in trouble with limited option to get to green, I look for a lay up area with my chip or punch out, there may be a 100 to 1 shot from trouble knto the green, but don't gamble and take it on, or your card will be wrecked. Also, in long outts as you say, key is getting distance weight control, but I also line up my putt and see imaginary line right back to my ball, I aim for soothing 6 inches in front of my ball, I see so many people aim for something 8 to 10 feet away, you have more chance of getting the ball in your target line if its only 6 inches in front of the ball.

@AndrewNeilBaird 8 дней назад

Practice making less double bogeys rather than more birdies . Play a very difficult (or card destroyer) par 3 or 4 as an easy bogey 4 or 5 . Realise that the biggest obstacle on the way to success is fear of failure.

@rbailey225 7 дней назад

I have been a plus, scratch and currently a 2.7 hdcp for the better part of 20 years. I put a golf club in my kids hands at the age of two. They never took an interest in the game until adulthood. They always possessed the talent and still do. All that said, they fall into the category of number five. They do the same wrong things over and over and get mad at me because I am always telling them they have no right to be angry when they hit bad shots. They have talent but they don't put in the time to learn more mechanics.

@briangastaldi6136 8 дней назад

Good stuff but where in God's name did you get those three putt stats? That's bollucks. After 6-7 ft even the pros percentages go WAY down. If an amateur is over 5 ft it's prob 50/50 to make it. I bet most scratch golfers have more than 1 three putt in about 2 rounds! Putting that expectation on amateurs is WAY over the top. Golfers will be beating themselves up getting even more frustrated with the cruel game 😮
