How to Break 90 Short Hitters Deluxe Edition

I'm going to play these nine holes left-handed and try shoot as close to 45 as I can if I ever get under 45 I know I have the skill to double that and get under 90 let's see how we go the only thing we're going to be using for this is course management using the shots we know how to hit and placing the ball in position that we don't get into trouble now the biggest thing I know is avoid water avoid OB so I'm going well left here far from the water and I know I H A little fader so I have full confidentiality I ain't going in no water there we go beautiful up on the left side come on 132 is still a very difficult shot for me at this level so if I'm anywhere around that green and I'm still dry not in the water I'm going to be in heaven if I walk out of a with a five it's one shot better than I've ever scored here and we want to miss a little bit on the left here but luckily my fade is the stock shot so I'm happy with that because right is water left is chipping from 131 I'm learning my distances we're going on the average poor strike and I think my 7 iron is absolutely manki chai that didn't go as planned so I have to take a drop here let's go two club links let's go driver length Bam Bam knee height let's go don't get angry get up and down what a damn game I play I absolutely love it left-handed boom boom boom boom beautiful you get different variations of fun in this game my idea of fun is emotional control and planning and executing those plans just makes me feel great okay on the left edge of the Fairway when I talk about this concentrating and figuring out the puzzle I can see that that bunker that bunker is like 150 away so so far 150 maximum anyway is like a 7 I'm never going to get a 150 so I'll be short or right regardless but if I catch a clean hybrid I could find myself in that bunker well we hit it in the trees and it came out the trees onto the Fairway we got 192 we don't have a club that goes 200 but we have a club that's going to reach these bunkers over here and it's 125 to reach that bunker there so if I can get this ball let's say to my pitching wedge distance let's assume it's about 85 y 90 yard I need to hit this 100 yards so I'm going to hit my eight iron and then I'm going to try get a pitching wedge on the green and then we're on in four pting for the par I'm going to have to look back at this footage and see if I am actually improving my alignment cuz I feel like I am but it could be an illusion feel versus re well it's definitely a better shot with more height that's 134 yard shot so we can work on that with a decent enough a on 134 probably carried here so we'll work on 130 now what I want to do is I'm going to hit a couple shots we got 64 yards here I'm going to try a full sandwich and we'll play that ball but then I'm going to try another one with a partial pitching with like a 3/4 swing and then see what we get out of that and then we can build our arsenal of shots okay that's on okay I'll go see that distance and then we'll have a shot in the Arsenal to find out how far that 3/4 pitching wind Sand Wedge is about pin high and that 3/4 pitching wedge probably pitched about 70 75 yard so we'll use that going forward we haven't hit the green but that's cool we're in pable in regulation plus one it's going to be a tough one we're going to three putut a lot of these in the beginning if we can get Pace control correct it's going to be of the biggest importance for us hey Maddie the green is dry it's going to be firm the grass is short so we got to be very careful here not to hit it too hard or get it right in the hole oh damn son okay let's get the good luck ball in play that's a beautiful six right there I already sent a swing through the swing tweaks app and pro B got back to me with some key pointers on alignment so what I was doing before was setting up very open to the Target and there was causing that Big Slice or pull to the right and on top of that the other thing I was doing was starting my swing with the shoulders instead of the lower body so I'm trying to focus on that it's a little bit difficult cuz I don't practice I don't go to the range I'm going to send this swing through as well and see what bill has to say if I've improved my alignment at all so now I see the ball is going a bit straighter and higher but I don't think I'm getting as much distance so that's what I'd like to know in the swing tweak setup looks quite good here one improvement though would be your Trail arm is very straight almost rigid you want to bend that left elbow in and have that elbow kind of Point towards your left hip nice and square there good position going back the shaft is along your toe line but what's happening is you swing the club behind your body quite significantly so now we're very flat it's going to be hard to square the club face up now the problem here is your Trail shoulder is going to push forward significantly okay so open shoulders means you're pointing to the right of the target your forearm line so you can't see your lead arm at all so if you were to draw a line across your forearms it also is pointing over here and consequently what that does is it has the club face pointing the opposite direction so when you go through the ball it's a glancing blow rather than a nice smack swing tweaks is super convenient and cost less than a golf glove send your swing through use my code two Target and get 20% off your first tweak taking it from $25 Freedom Doll down to 20 Freedom Doll and get better quicker and we got 300 yards left and we've got trees left and right I could hit a Hybrid down there but I could screw it up completely so I'm going to take the 7i which I'm starting to get some confidentiality in wow that is luckily hitting that bank and coming back in not a problem not a problem it's close to the hole I got very lucky and it hit the Super Highway of dirt up there and it has come back into the Fairway leaving me closer to 100 yards maybe 120 into the green absolutely money now I get it I may seem weird I may seem eccentric but let me tell you something you sir are not normal there is no such thing as normal I like to look Swagger ious or very drippy as the kids say nowadays you can get this sweet sweet drip at waterplay golf.com oh my goodness okay we're on the fringo that's Perfecto now I may have been a bit generous with the idea of The Fringe here and I've put another ball down here cuz I'll show you two shots but people will say like what's the point of working on the short game when you're taking however a many shots seven shots to get there well truth be told this is where the game starts you start to hit the ball better and get more confidentialised your clubs when you can get up and down or make good contact with your wedges and when you miss the green by 30 40 yards and you can chip it on you're going to save a lot of shots and eventually your long game will get better so that's my Preferred Choice but at the same time time maybe I'm just like another two or three yards back so I'm going to hit my wedge as well just to practice it no that's not good let's do another okay that's better nicer strike but as you can see I prefer keeping it low to the ground am I really hitting the driver that short so I'll hit the driver with the orange we're not going to play this ball we're playing the white ball with a 79 that's my decision for this hole let's see the distance comparison after this shot well that one that one I think is going further than the 7 iron so there's something I'm doing right there okay I finally got the driver right so that thing is quite a lot further that's 55 yards longer we're about 200 yard away from here though so that's okay now what I'm going to do is I'm going to try hit an eight iron down there to the left side so I get past that big ass tree I don't want to be under that tree cuz I got to chip underneath it so I'm going to go past it and try to get a sand wedge on for my third shot then we're actually going to go play the driver and see the difference in score well well left well [Music] LIF let's see this is when you get a bit nervy as a new player going for that green and two and especially with water all the way down the the right side so I'm just going to aim this a little bit left of the pin hopefully hit a straight one if it doesn't come we'll be left Edge we got about 138 y we're going to hit the eight iron that may be the best IR shot I've hit left-handed so far and every now and then a blind squirrel finds an acorn hopefully land it short and let it bounce up to the hole we've got ourselves to just off The Fringe again and I must remember that this green is one of the slower ones so I got to hit a little firmer than normal we've hit three pretty I mean okay shots and we're at Green side I think you can do this stuff too come on get in there [Music] okay that could have been a nice [Music] PA yes man alive I have to be real with myself am I going to hit a drive long I don't think so this is like 165 to the hole and I don't think I hit it much further than 160 if I can hit what I've been hitting this round so far those High ones to the left I can aim this one just left of the pin and hopefully hold the left Edge the green if I do miss the green on the left at least I have an easy pitch or putt so I'm trying to get the ball straighter and I've lost a lot of distance with that so I have to go look back at this and send another tweak to my guy at swing tweaks I'm going to take a pitching wedge here from 50 yards and I'm going to hit like a half shot I think with a sand wedge I have too much propensity to pop it straight up and leave it on the front of the green with this one lower Loft I can hit a smaller swing and get it to fly further and roll out to the hole I mean that's the plan anyway well that's how it's going to work anyway cuz I topped it and puted it all the way to the back of the green now in the wise words of Nelson Mandela don't get angry get up and down we are going to putt the hell out of this ball it's very fast because it's very bare here cuz it's so dry so we're going to go really quick get the pace right light oh money absolutely money with a p in his hand isn't he look at this man tap in for the Masters thank you very much lick my crack okay gang bangers we're doing pretty good way ahead of my expectations now I'm just trying to work on this alignment I might be doing it all wrong it's not great but it's straight let's take the positives okay yeah that's not that's not good we're going to take a four hybrid ski here cuz it's sitting up really nicely and I can make contact with it I'm not going to chase my losses let's get the ball down there and then from there it may just turn into a four shot Par Four well I tell you what uh two more of those from there and we're on the green actually there are no blow up holes just happy little double Bogies we're actually going to hit an eight on even less Club just to position it up on the left side to allow ourselves another eight iron or pitching wedge into the green let's hold it together let's keep ourselves let's keep our heads this one's not going to plan we're going to hit this Aon from about a hyy from a fairway bunker very fluffy so it's a bit of a challenge so let's go over the left side of the bunker to try not stay in it ah damn see we have to stay we have to avoid these things go go oh we're still in the damn bunker this one is an example of when you do something bad with course management you hit a club that gets you in the middle of the thing you can't do it would have been better for me to just punch a hybrid up there Leave Myself 120 hit it to the left of the green and Chip it on anyone can do [Music] that well at least I'm out thank goodness we have moved the ball because of the ground under repair cuz we respect the course and the course respects us I think I've got a hole that I don't know what to tell you players but I am the man with a pter in my hand I want to do an experiment to check how far the seven is going so let's see let's compare it's like 150 to the flag let's compare how far the ball is actually going in relation to the flag after the shot okay perfect so I shot the range finder it's exactly 143 and I finished at 143 I'm going to assume it carried about 140 138 something like that if I can have a 7 iron 140 I'm breaking 100 and braking 90 very quickly we're going to putt through the ground under repair it's no longer ground under repair but it's a bit bumpy still I'm not going to chip because I do love a little pky it's all about the pace control though we might even hold that one just the pace control that's all you need you can miss the line by a little bit as long as you leave yourself that two three-footer either side of the hole I don't know what to tell you that's a PA I mean you can do this stuff believe me you can do it if I can do it you can do it par FES are a bit of a challenge when you're a beginner or a newer player cuz you got to hit three four or five good shots in a row and one bad one can destroy the whole so I'm going to really focus on this one wow that may that may just have done it wow 225 to the hole and I have to clear 132 on the right just to be able to stay in play I am down Breeze heavily though so I think if I take a confidential 8 iron I can clear it up on the right there but I mean it's like that 50/50 I'd prefer to have like 120 to carry but I got to carry 135 do I chip it down there to like 120 into the hole and hit my Aon again or do I try clear it and give myself a pitching wedge let's try clear clear it let's do it let's do it let's do it let's accept the consequence though okay we're not going to get mad I did it and that's the kind of thing that screws us up so bad is all the things we place in our own brain the things we think about what are other people going to think of me are they judging me or I'm hitting bad shots maybe they think I'm a fake handicap what ever all of these things are self-imposed like that thing of thinking I'm going to screw it up and I hit a beautiful shot now I can take that with me and feel the confidentialised that in the future now with this one we got 82 yards and of course I don't really know my pitching wedge distance but I'm thinking if a sand wedge is like 65 a pitching wedge is probably around 80 yard 85 yards so I'm going to go for this with a pitching wedge a normal like full shot and then we'll see in relation to the PIN to use in the future okay we're on the we're on The Fringe but I think we passed the hole so that's going to be interesting to see what the distance is of the pitching wedge we finished about 15 yards beyond the hole giving me a good 100 yard so I'm going to use that in the future not two shabs not two shabs let's go try and make that oh man that could have been a five damn you all to hell you bloody bastard so what I learned on the previous hole over there was that my pitching wedge goes about a hyy and I need to aim to the big fat part of the green to let it roll out and keep me on the green so that I can have a putt where I put myself by going dead at the pin and missing the green cuz there's short amount of green there I really gave myself a top up and down so using those two things in the future I'm going to shave a shot there every single time being smart [Music] so teeing a bit low is good you may so I got 164 I can't hit anything 164 and I got water in the way and it generally shapes right to left toward the water okay so we're going to go pitching wedge and I think I'm going to have a lot of control over this especially with a new swing and we're going to go at the bunker down there and that's going to be nipple liquor opening up the hole for us oh man it's always bloody right that's okay that'll be a beautiful sand wedge on from there okay let's try a full Sand Wedge from 80 yards me if I get on the front at 70 I'm pretty happy I think the day that I learned to strike the ball properly not missing the grooves like there I completely missed the grooves I may see a distance increase and that's where the distance come from from not hitting it there from hitting it here instead now you're not always going to be able to put it like this when you miss the target but you will miss the target from 80 yards 100 yards by quite a lot and that's why I stress the short game so much if you miss it into the rough or you have to hit it up onto a raised green you just need to work on the short game there's no two ways about it I mean you're going to miss shots so if you want to remedy the Miss shots you can work on the dispersion but it's much easier to work on the short game to start shaving shots here and there and then it Cascades into you getting better dispersion it's a knock on effect nothing in golf is not interconnected everything is interconnected so start with a short game let's hit this hard enough to get through all the cow grass right to the [Music] hole and that's just that's just my My Vibe my style wow what an advantage to have whenever chiper ball to within 6 ft I've got like a I don't know 80% chance of making it what what a day and that's how you do it that's me on my way to Breaking 0 if I can do it left-handed you can do it with your strong shots if you want to see what's in my bag as a lefty check out this video right over her
