Worst Round in YouTube Golf History
In this episode I try out a new golf course, one I've been dreaming of playing since a long time 'Rio Real Golf Course' on the coast near Marbella (South of Spain).
Unfortunately things don't go my way and my golf absolutely let's me down. It gets away from me pretty quickly on the first few holes already. I totally let my head down and can't seem to fight my way back to a decent score throughout the round.
Instead, I decide to take more risks and just enjoy the golf course for what it is. I'll try and get back to Rio Real Golf Course at some stage to see if we can perform better, now that we know the course a little bit.

Is The Best Hidden Course of the Costa del Sol?
Просмотров 7238 месяцев назад
Regarded by many golf pros in the area as one of the best courses to play, Santana Golf is really a beauty to behold. Well maintained and designed, with an interesting layout, it is one of the more enjoyable courses to play on the Costa del Sol. Yet, it's not a very well-known course, and many visitors tend to overlook this gem. To give you a rough idea of what it's like to play this course, I'...
WOW! Insane Mini Driver Par 5 Performance

For fun, I'm playing a hole on my local course with the TaylorMade Mini Driver only, no other clubs involved. It's a par 5 into the wind, and I have never been on the dance floor in two. While the shots might not be the prettiest, there's no pictures on the scorecard they say. It turned out to be a really great hole to test out the TaylorMade Mini Driver.

Game-Changing Grip: Could This Improve Your Putting?

      Yes Amendoeira is great. I’m not personally familiar with unlimited options, but I believe Pestana might do something like that. They’ve got a few courses in the Algarve (5 I believe). Other affordable resort would be NAU Morgado. They have two courses. You could look into those. I’d rate both of them higher than Boavista.

      Wow, that is going to be a rocket! Good pick though, I still carry this in the bag, but in hindsight, I would have preferred it with less loft, it goes up in the air pretty easily and I find mine at 19 degrees a bit too high of a ball flight. But I also play in a lot of wind, otherwise it's fine.

    • @justbobgolf

      I would have to agree with you. I don’t think fitting makes such a big difference. The main reason I went was to try some shafts as the ones I had didn’t quite feel right. But then again, for a 10 handicapper, it’s really not going to make a huge difference. Still, it was a fun experience and I would recommend it if you’re unsure about what shaft you should be playing. To be able to try different stiffness and weight classes.

    Great back nine 👌 I've played the course 2 times. First time I played horrible 88 shots with a hcp 6. Second time i made it round in 81 with a hcp 7,4 Such a hard course to play and to many "blind" shots for my taste. But a well kept course and great service in the club house. <3

    • @justbobgolf
      @justbobgolf 8 месяцев назад

      Hey Stig! Yeah it’s fun to play, and the people are friendly for sure, but I wouldn’t necessarily expect to play my handicap there 😅. No matter what handicap you are, an 88 if it’s the first time playing there is totally reasonable. And an 81 is very respectable. There’s loads of blind shots and in general it’s a course you have to play several times before you can expect to score, if at all.

      So the grip is the one I use all throughout the video, instead of a traditional grip, right hand low, I switched it around and put my left hand low. This makes it feel like the putter is an extension of the left arm and seems more stable to me. If you’re using a traditional grip with putting, I would suggest you try it out as well. Of course it depends on what you prefer and on each person. I’ve completely switched over to the left hand low and still play like this today (two months after filming this video). Hope that helps

    Hey Bob, had my mini driver by TM just over six weeks now, I have always struggled with my driver, hitting a best a fade and worst a proper slice, to the point where I hit a 3 wood off the tee all the time, averaging around 210 yards, but still always a little "fade - ish". What a massive difference, I hit my drives now FAR straighter, and getting at least +10 yards carry with the mini driver, compared to using my driver. if I am swinging well I will even hit it off the deck on long par4's and par 5's........ ENJOY !

    • @justbobgolf
      @justbobgolf 9 месяцев назад

      Hey Paul. This is great to read, happy you’re really enjoying the mini driver. I’ve only taken it out on the course twice now, but I can already tell that I’m in love with the thing as well. My home course is a narrow and dry course that really punishes long hitters. Everything slopes to the sides and your ball tends to roll off the face of the earth. Playing there, caused me to lose confidence in my driver and I had practically retired it. I was definitely not very consistent with it either, but other courses I played would allow for more dispersion, whereas my new home course does nothing of the kind. I’ve now had the mini driver out a couple of times, using it on nearly any hole I could and man what a sensation. Love the way it feels of the face, so easy to hit the sweet spot, and everything just wants to go straight! I’ve not hit some great ones off the deck yet. But I’ve got the 11.5 degrees set to 12, which is a hard one to get airborne and get a good ball flight on, but I’m going to try it out going forward for sure 👍

      I have not been able to test true distances yet or even play it in the course, but I would say that it does go close to driver distance, especially if you can keep spin low and use the lowest setting. I personally have mine lofted up to around 12 degrees as I hope to also hit it off the deck every now and then. So mine would fly a bit shorter than my driver but with less spin and conditions in Portugal generally being dry, I would imagine it would roll out more

    Doesnt the hitting area being so high not add any extra distance??

    • @justbobgolf
      @justbobgolf Год назад

      Generally speaking you would be completely right, however, for these carry distances, I took the numbers from two driving ranges, both with Top Tracer machines installed, these machines are slope adjusted and also have a ball adjustment for range balls, which generally tend to go 10% less distance. So they give accurate numbers on distance no matter the layout of the driving range. I found them to be very much in line with what I see on the course, so it’s pretty reliable.

      As for club fitting. Im not totally convinced 😅. I’ve played great golf, potentially even better golf with some clubs I bought myself, which didn’t have lie adjustments, standard length shafts, and generally not the perfect shaft for me. One issue I find with club fitting is that it really depends on the fitter you get and how experienced they are. On top of that, all fittings I’ve done were only with the iron 7, and while I hit that one fine, and get good ball flights. I find that my 4 and 5 iron aren’t that good for me, or at least they aren’t flying as much and tend to roll out more. Which isn’t great. So in the future if I do it again. I would want to do a fitting going through the whole bag, not just a 7 iron. Club fitting also depends on how you are hitting them that specific day. This is not necessarily something bad about the fitting itself, but I find that my swing changes just about every week 😂 One last thing to add: I would always do a club fitting from turf. Not a mat.

    Never a 28

    • @justbobgolf
      @justbobgolf Год назад

      That is correct. The premise of this challenge was that if I would become a member of the Spanish Golf Association, I would have to start on handicap 28. I wasn’t allowed to get a lower handicap since I didn’t have an official handicap in over 10 years, and the only way to lower a handicap apparently was by playing in official tournaments. That was the inspiration behind this challenge. So I played 5 rounds to see where my handicap would land roughly if I started at 28. But by all mean my handicap is more around 10 👍

      Hmm they have very recently been taken over by another group, but I find it hard to believe that they would’ve already changed processes and their reception staff. I personally think you’ll be fine, but of course maybe keep another option backed up. There’s a couple of courses in the vicinity of Palmares, like Espiche, Boavista, Penina and all the Pestana courses like Gramacho.
