    Another great vlog Iona. I still say that your videos should be required watching for anyone who wants to improve every aspect of their game -- attitude, temperament, golf swing -- the total package.

    Thanks. I always feel a little bit smarter and a little bit more infused with goodness after watching one of your videos. And thanks for introducing Thomas to us and showing us the beauty of this great course. You’ve given us access to so many interesting people and places and your growing influence is so unique in its breadth. I remain a dedicated fan-woohoo!!!!!. Looking forward to the next one.

  • @johnrowell3583
    @johnrowell3583 7 месяцев назад +2

    I had a 30 minute course in Aimpoint and do use it with some limitations. I can't feel anything that is less than 1% slope and so I agree that shoes and other factors make it difficult to detect more precisely than that for most of us. Where I find it very useful is in correctly assessing 2, 3, 4 and 5% slopes where I'd normally under-read the putt. It requires a lot of practice with a level to learn to read the % slopes which is where most of the skill is.

  • @ianmcmillan2634

    @peterbergmans2256 7 месяцев назад

    I was taught by a Scottish neighbour in Montreal. He taught me to feel green slopes with my feet. I was 11 years old and he suggested making a green in the backyard using a push mower, a water filled roller, twelve starting points and a couple of sun lamps for late evening golf. 56 years later I enjoy an 8 handicap from the blues and am awed by the power of my young competitors.

  • @kikesanders1396
    @kikesanders1396 7 месяцев назад +2

    Such an irony on that uphill putter on hole 2. You are commenting on how the brain was not engaged while putting. Yet you chose to continue with the putter in hand even though you were clearly not engaged into that either. Great learning experience for us watching. Such an easy thing to do to go to the next strike without clearing the head from the previous.
