@@JeromeRufin don't know what seasoned means - but PGA lifemember - retired - this guy is great enjoy everything - and savor your time with him - I could not think of a better track or person to follow - you are doing this in a way that should bring you a lot of enjoyment . And I see your ambition is to become scratch - what happens if you don't ? If you become a 2 hndcp and really enjoy golf will that be a bad thing ? That sounds pretty foolish to me
Just got done watching ur (his, depending on who is reading) newest video. Went back to this one. Crazy he was teaching u the same thing Mike was teaching u on ur second lesson. I've said it from the beginning he is my favorite coach. I wish u would go back to him
I have been playing for 20 years and 11 handicap. This is a brilliant piece of coaching. Just been to my club to put the 'five words' into practice. Works wonders. Hats off to Mark Wydra and thanks for posting.
I feel like Mike is a wealth of knowledge, but there is this underlying element to him. He seems to be genuinely invested in YOUR improvement. Maybe he appreciates what you're chasing with Scratch to Scratch - but it seems like he is sharing in your small successes as you achieve them. A lot of comments say he is overloading you with info, but I think he breaking larger concepts down into practical, digestible information. The way he comes around behind you and helps you feel what your motion should be doing is so reminiscent of Chubbs in Happy Gilmore "Its all in the hips...its all in the hips." 😂
I love how he mentioned instead of focusing on the perfect hit. Focus on not hitting the water on the left by getting ahead OR not going OB on the right by turning it over. Epic!
Great coaching, lots of info which makes sense, the way he breaks it down make more sense than anything else I’ve seen on RUclips, thanks, I think these videos will greatly help me!!
Great video, JR! Shout out to your camera guy!! Excellent info from Mr. Wydra. Anyone looking to improve (including myself) would benefit from this instruction. Get Ahead, Turn it Over!! ⛳️
Good luck with your journey to scratch, it looks like you are on the right path to success. You have an open mind and an optimistic outlook which I think you are going to need. It’s a very tough game.
My new favorite UTube golf video. I’m a decent golfer and have known for years I wasn’t working my wrists/forearms correctly since my 7 iron is 145. I tried to fix that a few years ago and had such a hard time with direction first but then distance was a huge guess too as when I would pure it my 7 jumped to 165 but that was inconsistent too. So I’m going to try the 5:1 strike posture swing for the next month to see if I can hit it more consistently at the target and with the roll for distance. If my 7 would go 160 for me that would be a huge step in the right direction. I love the squeeze, bend roll sequence.
Jack, your are absolutely correct! That is the very best instructional book any one who wants to learn the game if golf needs! I completely change my game from 20+ handicap to 10 in a year! i recommend to anyone to find this book. It was actually a golf magazine that published Hogan's instructions and they made it into a book. Get it!
Mike is dropping some insanely solid information about the smaller but most crucial aspects to a great swing. I will say though, i think it will take you a little time to really grasp some of the info; as back when I was first learning my swing I learned pretty cut and dry basics to a swing for making solid contact. The stuff with having a natural draw and turning the forearms over in the backswing and downswing I didn't adjust to till probably a year into play. Hopefully learning it all at once though will help save you from some early faults you would otherwise have to break. Good luck and a suggestion I would have is maybe later in the series you could go from a video everyday to maybe little longer videos every 3 days or something. Sometimes resting and just thinking about your swing and going through the thoughts and process without a club in your home is when you get some the of the biggest eureka moments. Forcing yourself to just go hit can make you sloppy and instill bad mechanics when youre not properly in the right mindset!
Scooping has always been my downfall. I have always struggled with putting lag into practice so it's awesome to hear about it in a clear and concise way.
11:10 A couple of things stand out as not quite right here: 1) Mr Wydra rotates his whole body, staying bent over rather than standing up to the finish, 2) on the downswing he moves his right hip forward rather than clearing the left hip which brings his body closer to the ball and leaves no room for the arms to swing into… Also, turning the arms over at impact to control direction requires perfect timing which often means wayward shots. I thought this this way of controlling direction was no longer taught? Mr Wydra, any comments please?
Go see Ed Lasater in San Diego he’s way better and way cheaper than this guy! He’s talking way too much, I’d literally give you a med ball and have you feel all of this and then tell you to make the same movement with a golf club! Please go see Ed Lasater
I'm a seasoned Golfer and you absolutely have the right coach here. Have fun on your journey. It's the greatest game ever made.
That means a lot from someone seasoned! :)
@@JeromeRufin Haha. I think you definitely want to remember "Get ahead, turn it over." When you start hitting 300 yard drives, you'll see why.

@@pjpredhomme7699 he’s daring to dream
What does he mean by 160 degree angle at impact position

For the algo! I'm binge-watching these! 3 years into golf, so I can resonate with you're journey.
Mike is a great instructor. I took lessons from him years ago.

Great coaching, lots of info which makes sense, the way he breaks it down make more sense than anything else I’ve seen on RUclips, thanks, I think these videos will greatly help me!!
Glad these help :)

This coach is awesome.
This was a great lesson!
Mike is awesome
Wow dude. I just found your channel and this is the best instruction I’ve seen on RUclips. Thank you.
More of the journey to come!
Great video on golfing basics. Thanks

Great instructions from this coach. I hope you can do what he wants you to do!
Man just stumbled upon your channel! I love it! I just got into golf too, I wish I can be doing what your doing!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great content and good luck on your journey to scratch
Thanks!!
brilliant
8:04 fella behind them there has a MIGHTY strong grip xD
Every golfer needs, Ben Hogan "Five Lessons The Modern Fundamentals of Golf".
Jack, your are absolutely correct! That is the very best instructional book any one who wants to learn the game if golf needs! I completely change my game from 20+ handicap to 10 in a year! i recommend to anyone to find this book.

You really should put links to your coach in the post. 👍🏻
In the grip your coach talks about three knuckles but never really shows the concept. Could you show the grip with the three knuckles concept. Thanks

Yeah Mike is great! And yeah will definitely take that into consideration :)
dude the instructor needs his own channel. hes hilarious lmaooo
Still here to watch your journey!
Oh he has a good saying at least once per lesson. Get Mike viral!!
Do those impact fixes a lot. Strike is king in this game.
Good to know! Thanks for the advice!
U got me waiting for ur uploads at 2am bro, i think i need to see longer vids lol. Btw, are u a filipino?
Wow that means so much to me :) and yeah I’m half Filipino!
Funny, I just had the exact same lesson today with my own coach. He explained it differently but the resulting effect is the same.
That’s awesome! At least I know now it’s valid!!
Wow. My brain is fried just watching. I hope you are successful and get to the one to one ratio. Have you gotten there yet?
Scooping has always been my downfall. I have always struggled with putting lag into practice so it's awesome to hear about it in a clear and concise way.
I’m confused, do you rotate your forearms or turn??
What book is that from

Mr Wydra, any comments please?
This guy should publish the bible.

This is just a super complicated explanation of a shank. I don’t see how this makes someone get better at golf.
I've watched this video about 5 times I'm addicted
