@@gavinoliver8074 😂 I’m fairly chill, nothing worse than being bad at golf and in a mad mood 😝. I will be more active on insta now we are in spring season so will be putting out messages etc to get games in with people so if you are in NZ follow me there 👍. Hope your golf is going well 👌

@@Datson_of_Troy haha not sure famous is the word 😂. Thanks, good to see you in the comments - can confirm watch is even more useful when in the correct unit you are playing with 😝. Hopefully 🤞 don’t rush back until you are ready don’t want a longer sidelining than needed 👌

Was particularly buzzing after the final hole ⚡️

Yeh valid point 😂 I tried filming with the GoPro for convenience but didn’t think about putting everyone through a whirlwind 😂 good feedback 🫡

The best advice for getting under 100 after playing for longer since this video is focus on position over distance and just play to safe spots avoiding hazards and long rough where possible even it takes an extra stroke to get to the green 👌

I think it was a fair representation…

Haha yeh the thing had some zap to it, yep was good fun on the golf weekend with the boys (sadly the tournament we recorded footage was lost 😭)

for bump and run I usually use 9 or PW... for my chips I normally use 48 or 52 and for a lofted one I go for my 60 (but have been favouring 48 for more roll out and more forgiving as it's a cavity back wedge)

​@@JackPlaysGolfthanks, my game is the opposite of yours. I own the long game, but the wheels fall off for chipping and putting

@@anguswayman9014 haha sound like a great Ambrose pairing then 😂. If you can get to a short game area to practice that is the number 1 place to be to shave strokes and build confidence

😂 probably a lack of prep for others but I personally hate wearing a rain jacket for golf so just opt for getting a ‘little wet’ going to dry off at some point 😂. Wet glove was used but even the towels got soaked from the horizontal rain at one point - it was a losing battle if you wanted to stay dry 😝

Can’t say I’ve tried a 7 wood myself but I have a 5 wood now which is easier for sure - at the time of making the video I was having success with the 2 iron (my point was more focus on a club that works for you regardless of whatever club it is). May make an update video with some more clarity that a 2 iron is very hard to hit 😝 not in my bag anymore 😂 but hey if it works stick at it I guess

Haha yep the weather really did it a disservice 😝 but wonderful / challenging course

Haha I know when we rocked up at 7am to blue sky and zero I was shocked 🤯 imagine it’s pretty good regardless just considerably harder

😂 yeh we got smashed early doors, grips were probably the worst part about it, kinda came good towards the end. Course was a in good condition considering and still had a great time. Hopefully next attempt there in the future will be dry and sunny 😎

Yess what an epic track that is, Waipu has been my favourite course but Ohope now has made it tough to decide between the two 😂. The views and condition of both are exceptional

Yep on a bad day and if I want to save score I will go 6 iron from tee, 9iron wedge and putter. Take the clubs you aren’t hitting well out the equation and also limit the amount of overthinking with less 👌

Ohope Beach Golf Links - highly recommend and worth the travel imo

Haha all about showing the average struggles for higher handicap golfers and how to enjoy golf regardless of score on this channel 👍, seems like we were both spoilt for weather conditions but I think it would still be an awesome day out in most conditions 👌

Very true 👍

If I wasn’t Auckland based I think I would try get there a good few times in the year 😝

Will have to try and get down to check them out it seems. Bit of a bigger trek to get there 😝

Will write it down 👍 big claim 😂 but NZ does have plenty of hidden gems to be found. Thanks for the info

That is me 😂 that’s why I wanted to make the video. I’m currently a 17 handicap - can score anywhere from mid 80s to high 90s. Trying to get lower now but with the help of lessons to get a good swing 👍

Such a nice course, one of my favourites for sure

Yep course definitely lived up to the name. Ahh don’t worry about we all have bad weeks.. months… 😂. I actually have a lesson in a couple of days so hoping we make some progress on the game in coming weeks 😝. For sure ‘a bad day on the course is better than a day in the office’ haha

Haha some club selections were forced due ability reasons 😂 would love to play again when I’ve sorted out a few of my fundamentals - what a course to have on your doorstep (very jealous haha)

@@JackPlaysGolf I'm very lucky to play Ohope, feels like I've been spoiled when playing other courses tbh

Sounds like you are right on the brink of doing it. Often the most common error is taking on shots that you may be able to hit 1 in 20 (for sake of distance, pushing for green etc.) instead of playing a shot you can do maybe 19/20 (playing a comfortable lay up, playing for safe space near green). Keep at it, don’t worry about score too much it will come 👍

Yep this is definitely something that has helped me also - didn’t do it so much before when I made the video 😝 sometimes you do have to take the firmest spot if the tee box isn’t in great condition 😂.

I know my game all to well to not put an option for 9 on the template 😝 it’s kinda nice in the edit when the slider goes across the 9 (feels like a sense of accomplishment - shortly followed by 😭)

@@JackPlaysGolfI played this course in the rain. We had a bus trip from our local club 30 years ago, we had to transfer to another bus as ours broke down climbing the hill from Whakatāne. One of our guys put his jersey on a heater to dry it, it started to burn! I opened a bottle of fizz on the way back, the cork bounced off the ceiling and hit our club captain in the eye, no long term damage thank goodness 😳😂 I must go back

Great to see you popping up in the comments again (one of the originals 👍) - I think I probably didn’t make it clear in the edit - was double on first par 5 (as the putt was given despite me missing the short putt but I will use the tame excuse of not lining that up 😝) and then hole 15 par 5 first 3 shots on camera then next 3 off camera for the bogey. Think it adds up but may have looked at it too many times at this point 😂. Yep the club had great footage to use along with the awesome weather on the day 10/10

Your game your rules. 😂😂😂 Keep up the good work Jack.

Thanks bubba - 😝 game dropped off at the end and has done as of late but I have a lesson with a coach in a couple of days 🙌. Hope you have been getting out and amongst it 👌

Haha started strong then wheels fully came off 😂 - Clarks has treated me well to be fair, great course for sure. Hope your next outing is like my last hole and not the 7 before it 😝

Couple of moments were rushed but I edit out most of the pre shot routine which probably makes it look like more rushed (think there’s only so many times people want to hear me explain my backswing and then do a different swing on impact 😝) - yep outstanding course and for the value you really can’t find a fault

Thanks Michael 😂 glad everyone enjoys the outings 👍

😂 it’s been this swing change which has really got my number at the moment 😝 all in a good days golf mind - last shot keeps you coming back 👍

Consistent is key (most people go wrong by trying shots they can do 1 out of 10 opposed to the 9 out of 10 - the 1 out of 10 shot does look good when it comes off mind 😂) - people also often think once they have broken 100 once breaking 90 is a couple weeks away 😂

@@JackPlaysGolfthat was me couple of summers ago😂. I also used to swing full speed and power all the time but now I probably give it 70-80%. After developing a repeatable simple swing, I started working on 60-90 yard approach shots.

@@Malikot911 short game is overlooked by lots of new golfers 😂 definitely found that to be way better for scoring than distance off the tee 😝 - sounds like you have found a good approach from the last couple of summers 👍

I grabbed 2 a while back from a supplier but they don’t seem to exist anymore 😂

@@KieranGreaney sorry might have confused it a bit there - you are supposed to be just after the ball line 👍 my issue was my divot started 3-4 balls after the line (which is a tad too late and at a guess why I can often hit just the bottom grooves on the club)

@@lylejohnson5549 yep this was more biased off my experience at the time as it worked for me then. 5W would definitely be my recommendation now after having one. But my go to advice for breaking 100 would be use what club works for YOU from the tee and keeps you in play (don’t feel you have to hit a club like driver because everyone else is if you know yours is going to be 3 from the tee 😂) - maybe it’s time to do an updated one after more experience

@@bubbajones1035 hi bubba, we are getting there kinda 😝- in the time after the filming of this video I actually stumbled across that same tip (it has definitely helped) but my main issue now is the on the range the swing is much better but on course reverts back to the old way 😂

@@MsPleed haha thanks - was hoping to have the swing change a little bit more successful coming into the process 😂. Onto the next 30 👌 thanks for watching

@@naude_v1 thanks 👌 glad it came off relatable as the intention of my channel is to show what the average golfer goes through 😂. Hope we both win our battles haha - if not we use the winter golf excuse for now… 👀

Thanks 😂 - hopefully shows a couple of people a bit more of a relatable swing change process 👌

Yep I was thinking that too but I had a lot of stuff booked in during the period 😂. Towards the end it was more annoying as the range sessions looked more positive but seems on course I was still reverting to the old swing 😂. Next step is trying to find a coach for in person I think (issue is I had a lesson a while ago and really didnt click with the coach / got anything from it so have been reluctant to see anyone 😂) thanks for watching

Thanks Charles glad you enjoyed it 👌 hopefully shows it’s not always simple to change just a small thing 😂. Black labs are the best - want to try get him on the course more 😝. Definitely worth having a go consistency is key for golf - keep us posted and good luck 🤞

😂 the timing of this comment is amazing haha. My video coming out tomorrow is pretty much exactly what you have noted 😝. Won’t give any spoilers but everything you have said is pretty much exactly what I’m currently working on. Video is out in just under 12hrs. Like you said I have lots of footage and the passed 40 odd days I have been working towards that better arm structure (I won’t say anymore 🤐) thanks for watching and investing the time and effort to provide some great feedback 👍

Yep it’s been in great condition the last year since I joined. It’s Wellsford, just north of Auckland (New Zealand)

@@danehume3019 😂 dedication to not giving in to the ‘I can take on this 200yrd over the tree from out of the deep rough’
