Playing as an 11 rn I get out at UBC 15 times a year. Awesome to see two great golfers go after this course from 6400y. The camera does not do the first four greens justice. They are menacing approaches that funnel to a hopeful 2 putt. Love seeing the Vancouver content and how you strategize around the city courses! Keep it up
Love the videos Adam, keep up the great work! As a fellow Canadian I envy the fact that you're getting to play in the winter, so I'm living vicariously for now :)
Paul is clearly a good guy. He is extremely confident but modest, too. He encourages and is aware of his limitations (not that I can see many!). Great video, Adam, and Happy New Year to you both. 🥂⛳️🦘
That five iron swing was one of your better swings I've seen you hit on your channel on hole number two. All your other shots have such a long backswing that you struggle to get any power getting back to the ball. My two cents is to shorten your swing for more distance.
Lol Paul talks to the ball the whole time its moving. Very animated guy, has to be a fun playing partner. Seems like Adams driving was better in this round than in past rounds.
Hey! That's Paul the Punter! Haha.. that's crazy. I saw that he was moving from mountain biking to golf. I was starting to do the EXACT same thing. Moving from my mountian biking channel of MTB TRAIL RIDER to this golf channel JJ_Golf. Really cool to stumble on this.
@@NotAScratchGolfer Yea he does a great job with all his video editing. Enjoyed watching this. Looking forward to seeing more of your content too now that I found you.
I am only an 11 handicap but my swing looks better than my scores. This is just my opinion but you’re either not flexible enough or you are creating “fake speed” so you allow the hands and club handle to continue around your body while you start to rotate towards the ball. I think this is why makes your backswing look so weird. Try almost pausing at the top before starting down and towards the ball. There is a such thing as over rotation and it’s not necessary….
Haha when I shorten it up I tend to hit it worse. Have had a lot of pros try to fix a lot of things in my swing over the years (I stubbornly refuse to practice), and the consensus seems to be that the overswing is low on the list of things to address for whatever reason.
When you bring your camera along to film a video on the course, do you try and book the whole time slot or do you just hope the other players are okay with it?
The difference in driving distance reminds me of me playing against my longer hitting friends. But I’m a few strokes behind in handicap still. Have to keep it tidy within 100 like you say and I hope to narrow the gap that can’t be closed by distance off the tee it seems.
If your in Southern California Palm Springs area again, you've gotta play Mission Lakes County Club... gotta be the best hidden gem in the desert. It's my home course and I'll be your gide...
Just as a general question, do u actively work on your swing and trying to make it more efficient? You get pretty good results but even cutting ur backswing down to 3/4 would get u to a lot better dispersion I’d bet, Ik you know your swing tho, love the content!
Hey Tom! I don't really like to practice, to be completely honest. It absolutely prevents me from becoming a much better golfer. It's a weird thing - I seem to dislike practicing as much as I love playing. And sorry to make an example out of you, but I think it's really important that amateurs get feedback from professionals and not other amateurs. The rare times I do take lessons, I always ask about my driver overswing, and every last time I've been told that it's extremely low on the list of things to change in my swing. It sure looks ugly, though :p
@@NotAScratchGolfer the match the whole golfing world is waiting for!! Haha… unfortunately i am in SK and then in the UK for 3 weeks, back Mid Feb.. then we need to schedule this matchup :)
Solid play to get to +2, Paul's blow-up hole is what really stands out, or it could have been a healthy deficit for you to chase him down on the back, otherwise it's a horse race, cheers
I can't decide whether to make this new WITB video. I'm basically of the opinion that my new fully fitted set of clubs didn't move the needle in my game whatsoever (not that I necessarily expected them to - I just thought it was time for a proper set of golf clubs). So I don't know if I want to play into the whole "here's why I got fitted and you should, too" thing. I might put up some pics in a Community post, though!
Great video. This is more of a compliment, but your swing does not look 'perfect'. However, you make it work. Do you have any advice for someone like myself who gets too analytical trying to create a perfect swing? What clicked for you in order to shoot low scores like this? I can't even seem to break 90 no matter how much I practice.
His putting is much much better than most rec golfers, and while his swing is not beautiful he hits the ball with a square clubface the vast majority of the time and knows his distances. His worst misses are fats with mid irons which add a stroke here and there. You can play good golf doing that.
I think part of the gimmick of the channel is the acceptance of being a not so great golfer. There is 0% chance he’s getting to scratch with that swing. If he changes it he might get there. If he did, he would get much worse before he got better which would make for worse content and less enjoyment. Golf takes time, lots and lots of it. That and patience. Similar to serving a prison sentence. Lol
