    This was exactly the wrist angles I was trying to put into my back swing on the range today!
    Thanks for putting it in terms of throwing the ball. That's says it with a much easier feel.

    Northern Georgia US. I’ve been playing for about 3 years and have only played in Southwest Florida. It was amazing to me when I was having to calculate different distances due to elevation. The courses weren’t in the best shape. It’s was awesome hitting a 8 180 downhill and landing pin high a few feet away from pin.

    Australia....Long Reef Golf Club. Like everything in Australia, it was very laid back and somewhat haphazard...tricky to even follow the holes! Along with a 20 mph wind, it was very fun and challenging and I hIghly recommend it!

    Favourite country I´ve played golf in; Barbados! It´s only a small island but a few top notch courses that I couldn´t afford to play at, but we did have a very expensive coffee at Sandy Lanes and played at the "local" course (Barbados GC) where I let TIGER play through! he as he passed us in his buggy he tipped his cap and said, thankyou so much, have a good day and I thought, what nice chap, then realised... duh! are we gonna see a vlog with Lockey??

    Hi Bruh,
    Glad you mentioned being left handed and playing golf right. Not only do I eat, write and throw left handed, I bat a ball left handed and played softball for years and hit my fair share of home runs. I do kick a ball right footed however. Thanks for all of the fantastic content in your vlogs. Love the kids too! Kerry Hammond - 58, Hollywood Florida

    I didn't even think about turning the hands during middle of the golf swing. I just thought about the setup position. I just went to the driving range the other day and was able to hit straight, draw and fades with a lot more control. Just returned from not playing for 10 years and I picked up same bad habits from before. Hopefully, I a can get back down to my lowest which was a 1 handicap. This should help a lot =)

    Cricket player who bats right handed. Bowls left handed. Plays golf right handed. Writes left handed. Struggles with shots off to the right. Tried to quick fix it by splitting my hands to make clubhead "whip" through to straighten. Will send you a video if you fancy taking my swing to bits! Playing golf a year got down from 28 to 20 want to get further down by next summer. Thanks. Tom

  • @kjexen
    @kjexen 7 лет назад

    Im left-handed and throw with my left, but play golf right-handed. I often get the early release because off it as I have issues with my right elbow getting to far behind me and not creating the famous "lag"
    Also as a Norwegian golfer our favourite destinations is often to warmer climates as I'm sure is the same in the UK. However favourite destinations for me personally is often related to tournaments I see on TV thinking, I wanna play on the same courses.
    Scotland is a favourite for me, as there are so many quality courses to choose from.

    on the longer irons thing I play a 27deg titleist 910 hyberd plus a 27 deg mizuno mp 53 5i I found the gap between the 4h and the 5i was massive and the 5h filled the gap well an option considering the extra length of the shatf in the hybred you'd naturally get more club head speed plus I find I can work the Hyberd naturally high on stock shots but great for a low punch shot too

  • @AndrewWalshGuitar
    @AndrewWalshGuitar 7 лет назад

    It feels a bit, Mark, like you didn't take seriously the response that many of us left yesterday about wanting to get better at reading greens. Yes, you are right that strike, direction, and pace are the primary reasons many of us (and by that I mean me) miss putts. But it's also true that I sometimes miss, especially on long attempts, because I just didn't read the slope(s) of the green correctly. It's obvious, after the fact, that I just didn't know what to aim for. Tom Watson famously said that all amateurs under-read the breaks in greens. That resonates with my experience, but I don't know how or what to practice to gain that skill. I'd love to have you dedicate a video to that topic. Cheers.

    Club face awareness is a big weakness for me especially with drivers or anything with a big club head. I’ve recently purchased a Ping G Crossover 3i which has been the best club I’ve hit. Im using it off the tee and with a full swing consistently able to square this club face to path and strike a ball 240-250 fairly straight. Kind of in line with this video but encouraging the players that hit their long irons well, try the Ping G Crossovers.

  • @spencerlunnemann9560
    @spencerlunnemann9560 7 лет назад

    A simple test regarding whether it is green reading or stroke: Read a putt, then roll a ball underhanded down your line toward the hole while facing down the line (not perpendicular to it). Most people can control line and speed pretty well while rolling a ball with their hand, especially if they are facing where they are rolling the ball. If you're consistently rolling them close with your hand, you are probably reading the green just fine.

    @jamesblack3939 7 лет назад

    Write left handed, play all racket sports left handed, played football left footed, throw everything left handed, but.....play golf right handed!!!! First experience of golf was due to my old man passing down his right handed clubs, so thought why not .... felt bloody awful at first, but due to expense of not being able to buy any, I stuck with them. Two years later still play golf right handed and a couple of times I’ve used a left club down the range out of curiosity, but it’s defi a no go!!
    My left hand/arm is so dominant I worry it takes over the whole swing from start to finish. Battled away with it and it’s slowly getting there. If any interest MC I’ll post it on to see if a dominant left hander shows any common patterns of poor practice playing right handed. Enjoy Vegas!!

  • @borderranchrecordssocal2195
    @borderranchrecordssocal2195 7 лет назад

    I struggle with club face control...but I lose awareness through the hitting zone. I can do the drill with turning the club face 20 degrees in and not hit it left like 3 out of 5 Times, even getting a push right sometimes. The two I miss only draw a little bit left. But like that and most of these drills, I’m not sure how to apply those feelings and thoughts to a “regular” shot. I know the answer is “get a lesson” ultimately, I just have to drive 2 hours to find a place that will use quality measuring equipment.
    And the best place to play golf is the good ole USA. You can find any type of course and any type of climate, just might have to drive a little bit.

However, I used to play at Gog Magog, in Cambridge, UK, in medals in rain, cold, wind, and the friendship of the clubhouse, camaraderie of regular playing companions, the beer after the game, that’s what made it truly great, so in the end it aint the place, it’s the people.
