Why You Want To Be a "Boring" Golfer 

I’ve been preaching your mantras ever since I started watching your channel however many years ago that was now. 1. Keep it in play off the tee 2. Be tidy within 100 yards 3. No three putts These alone can pretty much guarantee a mid 80s score which keeps me and my handicap happy. Thanks for the advice over the years, it’s really helpful and makes golf more fun

Not at all boring. Kinda fascinating how much hope your videos provide regarding my potential as a regular, mortal hacker. Thanks my dude

3 Comments: 1) Your disciplined efforts to greatly improve your golf ( All Clubs ) swing since the beginning has been noticed, Congrats to you. 2) You exercise thoughtful course management, well done 3) Luv all the various courses your have showcased. Thank-you from winter Canada.

not gonna lie, this really sums up why people shouldn't care so much about scores. Unless you are a kid working towards becoming a pro golfer, golfing is just about having fun. Going for stupid shots that have a low chance of working out but are awesome if they do work out is what's the most fun. It's just that people get so wrapped up in their scores that they rob themselves of the joy of just getting out there and having fun.

As a self taught am who picks up tips along the way, your tips have proved most useful to my game. It’s taken stokes off my game I hadn’t been able to take off for years. Keep up the great content. (But only for as long as it makes you happy)

Man watching you makes me feel so much more confident the next time I head out everytime. Methodical and the execution is great, thanks for the tips man, keep it up!!

My golf game is starting to become this right here. Comfortable easy shots using more club and getting myself in good scoring position. So much so I've whacked 20 shots off my average in the last 2 months alone.

I think the rest of our games are pretty on par with each other but your putting (chef's kiss).

yeah, not boring at all. You make it look so easy...but I know this is the hardest to pull off. I honestly feel like your putting is Tour level. Beautiful round on a gorgeous day. This is great golf in it's purest form.

You definitely have a much better swing than you give yourself credit for!! You get great contact a lot of the time so you’re doing something right!!

I personally think you would be 1 fantastic caddy , like pro level caddy. Your very good at staying positive and resetting for each shot , understanding what shot should be hit and only hitting shots you have and excellent at reading greens

Adam your driving 240yds & straight, putting is elite level. 2 keys to a boring day on the course. Another solid round cheers 👍

Great attitude and approach mate

Desert Island is a fun track. #9 is literally the wonkiest designed golf hole ever. Only negative thing about a really nice course. Nice video.

That's the mantra my buddy and I keep (trying, at least) saying to ourselves ... "just another boring par"

Adam consistently makes some of the best content on RU-vid man. This is great stuff

Great video Adam! I discovered Desert Island when I was in Palm Desert last year-what a wonderful course. It was entertaining to see you having some of the same misses and shots I had! The line over that palm tree on 17 is daunting, but the way to go. I truly believe learning from your approach to course management was a huge factor in me lowering my handicap to 12 over the past year. Keep the great content coming!

I've always said Ill take kick in pars all day...but it gets old after about 2 weeks of burned edges, lol.

I started playing Last Summer and was Hitting mid to high 90s just before Christmas when I last played. Most of the local clubs are wet and muddy so I've decided to start up again next month. I hit my Driver 220-230yards and I'm taking 5 or 6 iron when most people would be hitting 8 or 9 iron But I discovered very quickly playing with someone I work with who plays off 16 that he doesn't even hit the ball as well as I do but he'll hit every green from 150 yards or less which is why he was beating me by 7-8 strokes. As it happens I am pretty good at putting and I can play flop shots but I also know the bump and run is likely to go nearer. I broke 100 on my 8th round and haven't shot over 100 since. I spent 6 months going up the range every week not trying to hit my driver further Instead I calculated how far I hit each club.And been working on Set up at address and a setup procedure. That has enabled me to change things then use the trackman at the range to determine if it's better or worse and know where my baseline setup Is. I can Draw and Fade my Long and Mid Irons And hit my woods straight or with a slight fade. My aim is to hit fairways, stay out of hazards hit greens in regulation and not 3 putt. I was also playing an additional round every other week at a 9 hole Par3 only course I'm hitting 5/9 greens and shooting 32-34s on a par27. And that's by playing -boring- certain golf. where I only play the shots I'm absolutely certain I can pull off. It doesn't mean that I won't top the ball 75 yards off the tee and end up in the rough short of the fairway. what it means is I take a 9 iron or a wedge and pitch the ball onto the fairway instead of trying top muscle a 3iron or 5 wood 200yards out of a lie where you'll be lucky if you get it out at all.

Boring golf is still good to watch. Thanks Adam. Those greens were smooth and consistent. Makes putting a joy 😀

Sound, solid advice. Thanks. This is real.

Great video. Need to remember this more often. Those long par 3s are killer sometimes

driver and putter have to be good for boring golf. I just now, 3 years later, started hiting the driver well, took off 12 shots in one day lol. PUtter still stinking, but i am close to low 80s now! so excited

Nice one Adam. Thanks for the vids

Would love to know how much green fees are at each place you play, how you would score the course out of 100 and when it was filmed. Keep up the great work!!

I remember when I played my best golf I only concentrated on GIR and my 150 yards and in!! It paid off!! This is some great advice as usual Adam!! I think the attitude is the best thing to take away. not letting a bad hole ruin the round!!🏌⛳

love your attitude / mindset man

Spoke nothing but facts! I experienced this all of what you’ve mentioned in the video playing this morning 😩. Thanks for this great content! Keep it coming!

The 31 putts is very respectable.

That's how I play Golf. Take my medicine on the bad shots and just forget about it and concentrate on the next shot. Short game is the best part of my game, so can keep my scores in a very happy place. I am more than happy shooting 80 to 85.

I cant be the only one that couldnt care less about my score most rounds? As long as i smash a couple drives, flush a few irons, get a handful of decent up and downs and maybe 1-2 long range puts ive had the best day of my life.

14 bad shots .... still managed 79 !

Hey Adam. Do you have a list of course recommendations for Palm Springs?

You should have been in the Good good tourny!

Keep your cost per stroke low, always go for the hero shot........ Hot tip

One of the best putters i seen.

I enjoy the content. I don’t agree with playing shorter tees as a single digit handicap. If that’s what you like go for it, but why bother keeping a handicap if you are making it easier on yourself. When we were kids we would play basketball on an 8ft hoop to dunk. Or we would play home run derby from 2nd base so we could hit it over the fence. We got to feel like pros even though we weren’t. But when we grew up we played like adults. Why is golf different? So we can feel better dunking on the 8ft hoop?

Love your videos and your overall approach to the game. But please stop calling it boring golf. Making par is anything but boring; so is a well struck iron or a well executed bump and run. These shots for the average golfer are spectacular.

Another thing I always tell amateur golfers is don't try and learn how to hit a drawn, make sure you know how to hit a punch shot from out of the tress, will be much, much more usefull😂

Truest truth!

Do you ever feel like you have hit the law of diminishing returns of working on your short game? Your short game is so good I feel like you would benefit more from a bit of grinding on that 140-190 shot. But even then, you still make great contact regardless of the mechanics so maybe I'm completely wrong. Love the vids, curious if this ever crosses your mind. I know your anti grinding on your swing.

WORD TO NEW VIEWERS: Adam’s videos are best on 1.25x speed

I’m sure you know folks fast forward through the commercials. Does that in anyway affect the RU-vid matrix or the bottom line in payouts?

BOOOOOOOOOOOORING! I would love some boring golf. Nice work as usual.

How long is that course. Seems short

i would have feared for the geese when teenig off at the 14th

MILT!

OMG that backswing 🤬🤬🤬

I'm going to add that most should play from 6000-6200 yards and not 6500, it's long enough and challenging enough to be fun and competitive.

I need to play more boring golf and less heroics

How huge was ur playing partner???

Love boring golf!

First!?! 😂

I don’t think you give yourself enough credit on the ability to keep the ball in play.
