Adam Scott is the epitome of all that’s good in golf , he may not have a bag of majors but his integrity transcends , thank you Adam and Fred may you be blessed with good health we need more like you.
After winning states 2 years ina row in the early 2000s my interview in the paper was all about Adam Scott being my favorite player & inspiration, my mom still has the article along with many others ina scrap book. Him & Boomboom are both 2 cool dewds who make the ball sing.
Just watching Fred Couples play golf relaxes me. A true legend of the game.
I remember walking into Riviera one year and entered at the bottom of 1, where we would cut across to the sponsor tent area. As soon as I saw the fairway, walking right across our path, was Freddy. Just moseying on down the middle of the fairway, hands in his pockets, looked like he was just taking a morning walk before traffic got too thick. Everything about him is relaxing. I recall at another event we watch Vijay go out of his way to avoid the crowd around the range, as to not interact with anyone...then here comes Freddy. Kissing babies, shaking hands, autographs and pics left and right. Class act, what golf should be.
I do like Fred's pause at top but it's a little longer than average he does give a illusion of a relaxed swing
This is a great format. Adam is a good interviewer.
yeah, he is natural at it....was surprised
He's a class act, always has been, just like Freddie
Adam has a TV future waiting for him…
He really is, super talented.
Adam swings at it and it goes 320. Freddy looks like he takes a smooth practice swing and it goes 300 lol. Crazy talented.
Freddie could step on one if he needed to though.
@@scottrackley4457 definitely, I think he was saying Adam goes after it compared to Freddie just smoothin it & they’re only 20 yards apart meaning Freddie rips it with ease.
I feel like Freddy really is just so good at hitting it on the sweet spot every time.
@@traskschulte6283 One time Curtis Strange was doing commentary and he said Freddy hits it dead solid every time. He said it is such a great strike on all his shots. He also said, yeah it doesn't always go where he wants it but it was struck solid!
fred still hitting 300 yard bombs at 62 years old. GEEEEEEZ
Just proving 300 yd bombs are way down on the list if you want to score and win tournaments 😏
Technically it’s second to iron play according to strokes gained
@@cp90_ Technically that’s a crap statistic. One missed putt under 8 feet is equivalent to whiffing a drive and making a putt. Obviously putting is orders of magnitude more important. Also a driver is one club. A minimum of 2 wedges and I surmise the 8 and 9 are more important than the driver. As a once professional statistician lots of stats are interpreted incorrectly and/or don’t really estimate what they purport to do.
@@meyer7262 Dude your spouting BS you’ve heard a thousand times before. Like in football, “It’s not offense that wins games it’s defense.” Total nonsense depending on the teams, circumstances and degree of offense and defense proficiency. Here in golf we’re not talking about 92% of the chopper hackers who literally may not get off the tee. We’re talking 260 to 280 in the fairway 3/4’s of the time if a competitor’s driver isn’t working and he chooses a 2-iron or 3-wood instead. Versus 310 to 330 and in the rough 50% of the time for the co-leader. If the former player has the wedge play of a Trevino or Michelson (and sometimes Woods) or the putting acumen of Woods (back in the day), Cameron Smith or Jordan Spieth the 260 yard dude is going to win most of the time. And yes great wedge players and putters can be relied on to do it hole after hole (eg Cameron Smith 2022 Players Tournament). It’s not unusual for a hot amateur or tour pro to light it up in getting down off the green in 2 seven out of eight times. When I was 13 140lbs and was lucky to drive 240 I cleaned up the junior ranks often of 14 to 18 year olds, some of whom could drive 350 yard holes on occasion. (Back then the huge hitters had absolutely no game on and near the green 😂). Endless 18-year-olds fell to me in match play because I absolutely drove them nuts. I was hitting woods and long irons into greens they had short wedges into and I’d consistently win holes. Literally drove them insane. They’d lose their game. Back then I was as good a wedge player as the best on the tour. A master was my coach and I’d hit 500 wedges a day 6 days a week. On tournament days I’d get down in 2 from 60 yds in 3 out of 4 times. Trevino was a relatively short driver. During his hot periods no one could beat him. And why he scorched the seniors tour for years.
@@mrsmartypants_1 Yeah well sorry to tell you but you're just wrong. Mark Broadie has a book and plenty of podcast you can check out.. It's mathematically proven at this point. The podcast are all pretty good. I'd def check it out if I were you.
Even just the sound of these guys hitting balls is amazing. Out of the dead centre every time.
These two are the epitome of golf gentlemen
I love how Freddy just knocked the easy lie ball out of the way, and Adam is like 👍 yes, forget that.... moving on 😀
Yup. Adam is like yes, sir, let's get straight to graduate level.
Two of the best swings will ever see chillin 😎. I can rest now.
This was one of the coolest videos ever on youtube. Two of my favourties right here.
Adam letting Freddie take the lead shows how much respect the golf world has for him. Adam's resume can go toe-to-toe with Freddie's, but instead of letting his ego get in the way, he let the more experienced player share his wisdom
Nah, adam isnt on the same level. hack job
@@ClevelandBrowns32lol of course. Lot of hacks win the Masters.
@@ClevelandBrowns32he was number 1 for a while, 2014, you have high standards, and he is playing great again!
Fred’s swing is poetry in motion
Fred is a champion. Regardless of the number of wins. His swing was made in Heaven.
Man is Fred a gem... so is this channel
As great and as accomplished Adam is. he still seeks knowledge from the legends that paved a way from him. Staying humble and showing respect. Adam is truly the poster boy of why we say golf is a gentlemans sport
I smiled watching this from the start. Fred, you are still the coolest man in golf. Luv ya
There is just something about Fred’s swing, so smooth and easy, the best looking golf swing ever.
So nice watching one my idols from back then. The rhythm, personality, follow through. So many qualities from the era when swings were more arty and not just machinery. Also miss Els and Monty. Also so nice rhythms. Mmmmmm.
I loved watching Couples play when I was a kid…all the nostalgic feels are flowing back….
Addicted to the channel now… great to watch Fred’s swing… makes it look SO effortless.
Love these vids! Wish they were longer! Would love an hour long format.
two of the coolest men on the planet right here
I could watch and listen to the two of them for hours.
So great! Thanks for sharing. Freddie, my childhood idol, modeled my swing after his since the very beginning...
Fred is soooo super cool! I just love hearing him talk about the game of golf. And yes, he does relax one just by talking! Lol!
Two of my all time favorite swings!
My god. To this day watching Fred Couples Swing is a work of art. Like a Rembrant, a Da Vinci, A Van Gogh, you name it. It is the most beautiful swing of all time. Looks absolutely effortless because for him, it is. Legend.
These are only getting better and better
I could watch and listen to these guys all day!!
This is the coolest range session so far.
Just love the casual banter, bring up a specific hole, they both have the same vision and wooooosh. Yep that's it.
2 of the best Golf swings here for to to admire, both beautiful.
This is a great episode. Really cool to hear Adam talk about how he plays the Tee Shot on 15 at Augusta. Those are the things I look for as a competitive player.
Couples swing will always been one of my favorites ever... i could only hope one day to have a swing as effortless and smooth looking as his.... just unreal.
Gold content here, I need more of this
These two are in my top 5 of all time. Seriously appreciate their view of the game.
I can’t believe how far Freddy still sends that ball. True athlete
Hitting a 300 yard carry at 63 years old? Seriously?
2 great guys! Respect
Very awesome to get to listen in on two of golf's classiest champions while they send shots down range.
Fred’s my favorite player of all time
Great content. The conversation is so natural and authentic. Looking forward to more episodes!
Such a nice video. Two chilled out green jacket winners. Relaxed (looking) swing. Relaxed conversation. So good.
This is beautiful to look at. Great episode!
Both great guys. Freddie hitting 301 is just ridiculously good!
I could literally watch this all day.....
Love these guys! Fun to watch!
Great Combo of two of the most beautiful swings on the planet !
What about my swing 😉
@@TheIncomparableGolfer well... Are you comparing yourself to those 2.... ?
@@Ivronix i am still an Amateur. So time will tell
I've modelled my self on Fred for 35 years, it did me a lot of good. Still love his action so natural.
Man a love freddie ! Been my fav golfer since a was 5 yrs old
Brilliant. Never watch this channel before. Great concept. Thank you.
Yeah , and there was Fred Couples ''the wonderfull'' Thankiuu !
Two iconic swings. Great video
Ok that was absolutely epic! 2 of the best
Great interview. Fun, informative and joyful.
That was such a good watch. I just want to be a fly on the wall for 18 holes with those guys. Missed Ben on camera mixing it up though. Is a wrist check faux pas on Fairgame???
Those swings are so beautiful I could watch this on silent.
Love that format. Was great!
I didn't want this to end
Fred is the real deal. Love that dude.
Two of the prettiest swings on tour!
Fred is an example of the most free flowing swing ever in golf. Basically has the same swing pace he did when he started on the tour in 1982.
I was thinking the same…his swing looks the same as when he started!
I can watch stuff like that all day!
Two beautiful swings
So cool! A true legend!
I can watch Fred swing a club all day. Smooth as silk.
Absolutely love these videos nice job
Great swing s & great people 👑
More of this PLEASE!
My only complaint is that I wish these videos were longer!!! Love these!
Very cool. 2 of my favorites
this is so cool. reminds me of comedians in cars getting coffee for golfers- esp with the cool jazz music
Great watch!
Fred Couples, my bestest swing ever.😀😀😀
Fred has my favorite swing of all time.
Two absolute Gods of the game
Could listen to Fred talk all day
Two of the coolest dudes in the game
These episodes are fantastic! This channel is really where my hobbies collide. I've been a long time subscriber to Hodinkee. I love that Ben Clymer is a partner and helps produce these episodes. Additionally, I'm an avid golfer and have enjoyed watching Adam play for years. His swing is about as good as it gets. Keep up the great work.
Fred is a legend, would have loved to hear his take as a presidents cup captain, what he would do to win if he was the international team captain as opposed to the USA team captain.
Always loved boom boom
Great video, you earned my subscription.
I work the Genesis every year at Riviera and a few years back we had a 3 or 4 hour wind delay which was quite unusual. Half the guys went into the clubhouse and half just hung out on the driving range. Cam Smith was hitting big high cuts with his 3 wood that were teed up on a water bottle and Adam Scott was hitting 4 irons across the range wearing another one of his ugly mustard colored sweaters. He must have hit at least 100 balls and 98 of them were perfect. Never seen anything like it. These guys are just different.
I remember that year with the high winds. That was about 3 or 4 years ago. I live in Corona del Mar (close to Pelican Hill), and remember the crazy winds that day/weekend. ps. It's crazy who you see coming through Pelican Hill. Pros, actors, baseball players, you name it. The North is the one to play. Great layout.
Pure gold
Boom Boom is my favorite golfer after TW, that swing is easy on the eyes.
Two best golfs swings of all time!!
You can make a case for that, if rhythm is the key component that you're judging. But there are many swings that are considered more "fundamentally sound" than Freddie's. While Adam, all things considered, might be the very best swinger of all time. It's such a subjective label, though.
Same tempo on all clubs letting the club do the work…one of my favorite players
Great vid
Love the music
Love these 2 guys. Scotty is great online
Sorry you had some back problems you have had a great career always admired your swing
Pure gold! These guys golf games really are quite similar. Thanks for letting us hang out with you guys.
Golf course was his baby sitter 👍⛳️😂 Busted for glove swiping 👋
Those swings look so effortless but behind those swings is a lot of practice and effort.
Que legal assistir você jogando parabéns
Omg hear that CRUNCH when they hit those irons
Fred has always been given in my dream foursome, but Adam would indeed be a welcome addition. Fun to watch these two ball strikers.
Best vid with 2 giants talking
Glad I found this channel !! New subscriber here !!
"I have a funky little swing" BRUH PLS. The things I'd do to have a swing that butter are unmentionable.
Awesome 👌
God I love Freddie..
