People Dumber Than You Score Lower - Here's Why

so you want to be a low single figure handicap golfer we all do and the worst part is that people dumber than you are single figure handicaps easily one of those dummies is me I'm going to show you how a dumb dumb like myself stays a single figure handicap regardless of where I play golf from Thailand to the US to South Africa to the UK over many kinds of conditions many kinds of turf and different Golf Course Styles the first thing dumb people do to stay low handicap is ignore the advice of hitting it as far as possible all the time for example when it's cold and I haven't hit a ball at 7:45 a.m. I hit the most comfortable Club in my bag from the first te it's so dumb can't see it land yeah Scottish Links Golf is a little bit different and I don't know all the differences between this and other golf but I thought I could bring the way of the player which I created and works everywhere to Scotland and play some common sense golf for a low handicap so far my handicap is only around two and that's okay I mean it's not bad someone told me that's better than 96% of amateur golfers I guess my strategy could be wrong though because there are 4% of golfers better than me W that's quick bro say hi bro oh that's not good go boy biry oh boy sit down 118 yards chipping in line oh oh oh boy okay maybe I should have chipped something else I'm not very smart so sometimes if something's not working I don't even try play through it and work it out and get through it like a man cuz I don't have the smarts or the masculinity I just do something else I might even do a really silly thing like stop hitting the club that gets me into trouble or making bad shots I sometimes even reduce the Loft on my chipping do like an 8 or 9 iron cuz I'm scared of hitting a bad chip with a sand wedge fluffing it or teething it across the green I don't know sometimes I like to do silly things like that I think it keeps my score down wow je whiskers okay 189 what are we it's just a cross Breeze right I'll just hit a sixer yeah probably be a bit short but I think you can putt anywhere short what do you reckon prish that wind that wind strong H yeah that's money so my goal here was really to just hit the front of the green but that wind obviously I should have taken it more into account so it's pushed it into the rough but I still think I can just putt it right over here it's going to bounce out of that rough and it's going to roll like a putt after 6 feet so it's not like I I really have to chip it and I have a lot of confidence in my putting lately especially with the new black bird dog now I'm not smart enough to get $300,000 into debt for a college degree and I'm not a rocket surgeon but I just feel the easiest place to keep my scores lower is by keeping my game good with my wedges chipping bunkers and putting everything inside about 125 yard I heard someone once say that at least 50% of your shots happen with the wedge or less so I thought well if a smart person says that maybe I can get good at that because the swing is so short and you can keep the ball close to the ground and in those shots short game is so easy for me to keep sharp you don't need much space to practice you can hit putts on the carpet you can listen to a bob tell putting out of your mind for free on YouTube if you want to and if you want to pay you can get it on audibles I find it helps my putting high IQ golfing knowing that you really can't fix your own swing that is why I suggest swing tweaks if you need swing help because you get direct access to a PGA Pro who will help you understand how to improve you can download the app upload it down the line and front on swing directly in the app you type in some information about your game to help the pro understand what's happening he'll assess everything and send you Custom Tailor Made instruction for you specifically including drills that are going to help you understanding your swing is so much easier with the help of a pro who understands the chain reaction in a golf swing the knowledge you can get from a pro in swing tweaks is worth its weight in gold but a tweak is only the price of a sleeve of golf balls plus if you use my code players you get 20% off your first tweak simplifying your game is key and having only one or two thoughts instead of 40 on every shots gets you simplified and scoring lower I can't see it land where is it okay okay okay now we're into the breeze so this is going to hold up the shot we've got 48 yards so I can either I think I'm going to Chip and run it cuz I don't know how it's going to react hitting something loftier um even if I hit a atime chip and run I think it's still going to be held up by the wind just a bit so try land this on the green and just let it roll up there now I'm not perfect and I accept that I was a real dumb Dum before I mean that is terrible that is awful shot and I thought I needed to be perfect all the time on the golf course I used to get so mad at myself for so long but then I realized I was being foolish I'm just playing a hobby so I'm allowed to be bad sometimes and some other famous religious guy in Asia said suffering is wishing things were other than they are I don't know what that means but it sounds nice I mean I'm not very smart at this game but I do like to leave my preferred shots into the green and and around the green I prefer to leave myself something that I know I can hit I'm not really a fan of hitting things like partial wed shots especially in firm conditions or conditions I don't know so I don't know I like to play to my feelings on the day of how I'm hitting the golf ball so I'm not very clever but I do find it keeps my handicap [Laughter] down that's okay players 116 playing 122 but the wind is directly behind us two to three clubs of wind so I'm going to hit a 56° and I think that's going to take us all the way there played like 100 100 yard shot I think we're going to be fun of there pting great day okay maybe not wind of the left going to move the ball quite a bit looks like a put from the right so I think I'm going to go probably about half a ball in instead of like two cups right wind's going to just push this thing straight back to the hole come on wind honey oh I like that oh that's fantastic that's what I that's exactly the shot I hit on the Road Hole is it the same follow through everything okay we still got 283 y to the middle of the green it looks like it's uphill I think it's the red flag so we're going to lay this one up to a distance that we're going to love into the breeze 287 with a L6 range F 287 so we going oh I found that hitting the same Club from the same distance doesn't really work so now I try hit whatever will work for the lie of the golf ball I'm not sure if that's correct but it seems to work okay for me when I putt then sometimes I don't even know if my line is correct I mean sometimes I can't even see which way the ball's going to go I just feel like such a dope but I do this weird Dopey thing where I commit to my line even if I don't know it's correct I mean how silly you don't know but you're going to commit 100% to it now I'm not perfect but I can be perfect by perfectly committing to the action I want to do which is the line I choose or the pre-shot routine I have as long as I can do those things I can be perfect and then I can be proud of that even if the shot was not good at least I was committed to it you know what I mean see that's the danger right now I could be in that lock in that burn no over it so that's the danger like you have to be super committed to swinging down the slope I came up on it I came up on it see like that so you see how it squirts it will squirt so then you got this doing draw and this doing slice but which one is going to make the most impact cuz it can cancel each other out 77 7756 oh that's good hit it yes some people are so smart that they get really negative and tense when they hit bad shots and then they start talking about how they should have stayed in bed or how they can't wait for the round to end or they'll tell you they're going to go home if it doesn't get any better to be honest it's better for people like me to just be stupid and forget about the last shot because you should have the memory of a silly goldfish that's real good now I don't know much about important things like geology astrology Scientology and all other things ending iny and but I do know about grass and sand and how the club and ball react to it in different parts of the world on different strains of grass that's a fun thing for me to do and pay attention to cuz it's kind of a simple thing you know to be a gardener I think that if I can work that out I can pick a better club and a better shot for the situation to help me get my ball to a better place on the golf course for lower scores guys this is going to definitely break right to left but that wind is going to move it even more the wind is super strong three or four Club wind so we're going to give it a bit more break right on line right on oh oh oh that hurts a lot look at look where I must have missed the grooves like yeah in a hole in a freaking divot now I'm not smart enough to calculate the ways of getting out of every situation optimally like a pro golfer so I often use shot that just get me to a playable area for the next shot to minimize the damage on my scorecard it's definitely not attacking optimal golf but I enjoy it I like to minimize doubles and triple Bogies down to both maximum as often as I can I don't know that's just the way I see it yeah I probably should have hit a wedge should have had a pitching wedge there but I didn't I thought it was a big dog wind is more from the side than it is direct behind so we're going to put this again sidekick way but there's too much bumping and stuff there I'll have to chip it over with a 48° have to chip it over the junk it's just like thanks at the left side let the wind bring it in every time I miss a putt I just think that the Universe owes me another one someone told me it's the gamblers lie or gamblers false whatever I'm kind of weird like that because I'm a recovering addict I'm addicted to being awesome and helping people improve their golf game don't be a dummy follow your gut
