How to Play Scratch Golf

don't you think golf gets over Complicated by people who are not doing things in your best interest I think so I find golf is like a marshal art not that I've ever done a martial art you're going to have to learn a few basic moves maybe six seven basic moves and you're going to have to perfect them to move up to the highest category of belt on the t-b our number one objective is to get it in play after that we want to set up the shot to a distance We R into the hole that's when you start moving up the belt categories I'm going to hit a driver here on the left hand side because it's far from the water as I get more confidential I can H it closer to the water this has gone 360 y because it's very firm they haven't had rain yet in a while very hot so we take advantage of that not expecting it but sometimes it comes we are in the Fairway here very firm we need to have a low bounce wedge I can't use a high bounce wedge because the bounce of the bottom of the club is going to hit the turf and skim through and I'm going to te the ball so I've got my 60° with a low bounce and I've got 60 yards this is going to allow me not to bounce off the turf and get a nice beautiful strike part of your pitching game in the Marshall Artistry is to get the ball closer to the hole after your shot this is a very big proximity to the hole from 60 yards but I know that I have trouble from that distance so I just ensure getting it on the green even if it's long I don't want to leave it short and leave it double chip so I don't get greedy I just get it on the green once we get more confidential getting the ball on the green that's when we can really start trying to get it closer to the h but that does take a lot of practice and that's all it takes in any of these categories practice practice practice how would you learn karate would you go to YouTube and learn the moves and repeat them yourself without any guidance from anyone then hope to move up the belt categories no it would take you forever and you wouldn't know your mistakes until you actually went to an instructor and that's where I don't know why golf goes so differently a lot of golfers think that they're going to work this game out the mechanics of it via videos on YouTube and instruction and magazines without any knowledge of the golf swing thinking they're going to piece it together like this and become Pros it just doesn't work like that you want to find yourself a dojo one of the things you hear from people playing High Level Sports is visualization and seeing a picture in your mind of what you want now I'm not going to get all ethereal with with you about that about your goal for golf I'm going to talk specifically about the shot this is a skill you're going to need when I stand at this ball what I see is a beautiful little fading for iron little fader little slider left to wrer into the Fairway down there I'm 266 yards away remember we talked about the LIE this is what's going to get you to eighth eighth Dan Black Belt this ball is behind a little Sprout of grass with a little little Sprout of grass here if I hit anything it's going to hit this piece of grass and bounce my club up and I may top the ball because the club bounces up and hits the top of the ball instead of the Equator so I'm going to hit a four iron with a fade that means I'm going to come a little steeper and across the ball which means I may be able to eliminate some of this grass here by Hing over it that's okay I can't hit a wood because the wood is going to skim off there and just be a horrific shot come out low and probably go in this bunker over here starting it over the middle of this bunker here and just slicing the hell out of it back into the Fairway and the stronger that visual is in my mind the stronger I believe in it the more I'm going to pull it off if I don't have 10% commitment to the shot it's not going to go well it's 100 110% or zero low Loft slices more High Loft doesn't slice as much little fader only a little fader doesn't slice that much cuz I got such clean contact with it absolutely money we're going to have probably 60 70 yards in I have to assess this life first of all if I take my 60° here I'm not going to get the ball there I'm going to have to hit it very aggressively and then I lose control because this ball is sitting up on on the grass not down in it it's not a tight lie it's a fluffy lie on top of that the ball is on an up slope so that when I hit my 60° okay 60° flat when you hit it up a slope it increases the Loft so now I'm hitting a 65 66° 60° wedge which I don't know how to play I can barely play a 60° so what I have to do is take something with more bounce my 56 Dee to get into that fluffy lie which is going to get the ball into the air easier without getting it too high on the club face when you have two low bounds oops I just touched the ball when you have two low bounds it's going to go under the ball and you're going to hit the top grooves when you have some more bounce it's going to go under the ball and bounce up through the turf giving you a much more centered strike and with a 56° it's going to increase the Lo to 60 61° which is money this is the easiest part of the game to get right 12-year-old can do this why are you scared of ping my 40-year-old friend why when all you have to do is pick the right line at the right pace trust yourself that may be your issue you don't trust yourself you're afraid of life you're afraid of everything that shows in your ping we talked about hitting the ball better and we

lot more than watching another video on how to fix your slice by someone who doesn't care and course is running very firm and that new 8.5 Dee head replacing my 10° head it's a ping g400 LST has made all the differential now I'm going to go on the left here it's going to be a little little faster a little drier down grain grain is going to push the ball in left to right at the end oh you mother loving creature that was such a good part wrong line pin is blowing that way I can't feel much wind here because the trees are blocking it so I can see the pin moving 90° to the left I'm going to hit this ball out there and the wind's going to hit it the ground is banked with a ball above my feet meaning I'm going to draw it plus I had to draw anyway so I'm going to have to send this out F the right let that wind bring it back in at the end and we're going to be right next to the hole that's how I roll oh man doesn't bring it in at all come on hit it mother lover we're going to hit into the sand one inch behind the ball with the sole of the club we're not trying to dig in here or hit a chip we're trying to skim the sole of the the club off the sand and then it's going to take the ball out on a pocket of sand you don't make contact with the ball I know it's crazy and then you want to follow through so you want to skim it one in behind the ball and skim it out just like that absolutely money okay version one k oh yes come on man I love putting wow and I hadit a draw like the greatest Drive of my life oh my soul that's long oh man it's taking the slope on the dirt down I think that could be 400 y I'm I it's rolling very dry here please don't don't hate me cuz you can't date Me 3 83 absolute monstrosity of a drive oh too much Pace five absolutely the bomb.com mine pitched over here with a nine on crappy strike and spun back there now a great strike with a nine over here is going to just finish right next to the hole never going past about here but if I hit the eight on it's going to go past here with a perfect strike hit this down slope and come and roll down here to The Fringe and what that leaves me is a putt that's going to break big time left to right on a side slope now I have a bit of a makeable putt it's up Hill which means it's going to cut out some of the brake won't have such a big slider and not the best boom baby I'm not making many putts today I've have the constant fear of trapping myself so it's been the fourth day of the squirts feeling a bit lightheaded got to drink some salt today not going to make many putts today I can't concentrate on the putting that much bam now I'm going to smash the hell out of this damn shot a little feder from 519 I'm going to try hit another 400 y just give her absolute rip right up the left side watch this man that is huge not going to feel my lower back tomorrow who needs one quick one for you players I know this is unrelated but it may help some of you I went to a physiotherapist trainer who trains people for rehab and what I discovered all the damn lower back pain I've been having for the last years has got nothing to do with my lower back has got nothing to do with anything except my tight hip flexes cuz they connect to your lower back and this right one is the most stiff because during Co all the way through to now I like to go on long road trips and sitting braking and accelerating in Tire traffic not having cruise control has stiffened the right one more than the left so my right side back I used to go get dry needle take out the knots and we be back there again in four or 5 days cuz this hip flexor is very stiff it's stiff again now cuz I haven't been doing my exercises but I would highly recommend going to a physio trainer if you got lower back pain hip pain they're going to sort you out and give you rehab exercises or do them with you for an hour at a time it makes the world of difference to your lower back if you have trouble sleeping if you get trouble sitting down all day and that's where you get the tight hip flexes from sitting front of the computer going to improve your game more than a $600 driver boyfriends and gangbangers we've hit that 325 very firm conditions but I hit it too far right so it's rolled into the thick ass cow grass I mean I can so from here we've got 185 to the middle I can't Advance a 185 out of there I can probably get it 100 yard or so with an eight iron so let's do an a iron over the water there it's just a luck of the draw shot though at best 140 at worst we want to just clear this Haz it in front of us 90 yards or so when we look at the LI we have to really think can we can we get anything on the ball I don't see much contact with the ball here so this is a high-risk shot but I got to believe that I can get enough on it with my power and there we go knuckle board right out there and that's and that's going to roll cuz there's no spin on it actually damn green side on the right side oh and hit the hole like a bouse come on M let's make a birdie we haven't made one today it's been quite embarrassing we've hit the ball so long but as they say drive for show put for dough like a ho what the hell is going on today can't make a damn thing let's get out of here watch this drive absolutely ripped 128 into the hole that's an automatic excitable number 48° it's sitting up on the grass so I could catch a little flyer here I could catch it a little long so I'm going to give it a little 80% standard John Daly yeah flyer so it's landed and bounced real hard instead of spinning that ball pitched in line with the hole actually ran through the entire green because of that low spin that's going to be the big difference when you start to understand the lie I knew it was going to happen that's why I went for the 80% shot but 80% shot struck really well goes quite far we're going to putt this one from off the green cuz I do like to putt From the Rough we're just going to give it a whack give it a whack AO get it up to the hole into the slow grass that's that grass on the green it's like a overgrowth of zoa or something maybe a different grass we just tap it in we make another par I think that's nine straight pars for level par golf from the tips like a bow check this video out to be better I promise follow me you're going to change your life you're going to be a great golfer maybe one day you go pro
