I’m Struggling To Break 100 As A 25 Handicapper
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Here it is.. my first ever Break 100 video on the channel on a full 18 hole course! I was a 24.7 handicapper at the time of filming (apologies for saying 24.9, got the number after the decimal mixed up) so pretty much a 25 handicapper. And yes, my handicap is going up. 😅 An honest golf round including every single golf shot I take, watch to find out what my final score was!

Hope you all enjoyed this video! I've added in hole flyovers in to this video so you will know before I play the hole what it looks like :) Currently using Google Earth to do it but when I can get a drone in the future, then it will be upgraded again then.
Love the flyovers! I’ve watched a few of your videos now and I have noticed that you hit a bit of a fade (left to right) shot shape with your driver and woods. You tee up in the center of the tee boxes and then hit that shape and that is a big reason why you end up in the right rough pretty often off the tee. Tee your ball up on the RIGHT side of the tee box, even though it seems wrong, if you aim a tad left after teeing up on the right side of the tee box- it opens up the angle and allows you to hit that fade shape and hit the fairway more often:))) this was a fun video to watch and it’ll be great to see you progress over time
Love the videos and the courage of showing your progress! I feel all your emotions! We have all been there and I'm still there. ♥
Number 6 second shot, when ball is below your feet it will tend to go right, when ball is above your feet it will tend to go left for right handers. When it’s uphill place ball more in the back of stance and weight a tad on your left foot, when downhill place ball towards back of stance with weight on right foot. (Just my advice) you can also open your stance on certain lies depending on situation
Hey Alia maybe you should try a knock off aim point or if you want you can commit to learning it fully for putting.
I don't do aimpoint properly, but I do use my feet to help me read any putt over a foot long.
Stand along your line from ball to pin and feel the weight difference in your feet which tells you the slope. Our eyes can be deceiving
Good job, on number 3 second shot check divots, if your divot is parallel (swing path) and it still goes right probably just an open club face at impact there
Your longer shots are really nice. Smooth and easy
thank you very much! i've definitely improved loads in regards to my tempo :) i just need to work on increasing swing speed now to try and get more distance
Smashing it
A friend of mine who is a pretty good golfer (plays off about 3), said something really helpful to me recently after I'd duffed a shot from the light rough using my usually reliable 5wood. His advice was "it's called a fairway wood for a reason; same with your 3wood. If you're in the rough, take your medicine, and get out of there and back onto the fairway. You weren't good enough to keep it on the fairway off a clean good lie, why do you think you'll do so with a difficult club out of the rough? Just take an iron or a hybrid, and get it back on the short stuff, with the lowest risk shot you can. If you get the ball forward a little too, then great. But why take a massive risk, in return for maybe taking one club fewer on your next shot?"
"It's called a fairway wood for a reason". Great advice for high handicappers!
i actually just got a 5 wood as a gift for my birthday tomorrow so this is a good timing with the comment so i'll know when to use this club! thank you for the advice :)
Nice swing
As a 14 handicap who plays irons only from 2 to 64 degree wedge,my advice would be try everything then stay with what suits. I sold my driver and hybrids,hated them and cost me heavy in scores. Started golf 2 years ago so a steep curve. Averaged 55-60 on 9 at the start and now 38 average. For getting out of rough the hybrid is too hard to use,i use anything from 6 up. Your wedge play is a little rushed,practice with your 56,open it,close it but always put most of your weight on your lead foot. Youre very good,lovely fluid swing,good style and stay strong mentally, youll get there. Always watch golfsidekick youtube channel,hes ultra practical and eccentric but brilliant. Well done and enjoy yourself
I agree with try everything club wise and see what’s works- that’s great advice. How are you a 14 with an average 38 per 9? Seems like you’d be a single at least
@@pookievanderbilt6889 thank you,I made an error had my last score in my thought at time of writing, I'd be 42-44 average. Arrived at 38 last occasion.
@@oliver69cork46 I got cha! Nice work on the 38! Keep at it
"Nope. Straight into the bunker you donut." ... lol
haha gotta laugh at myself sometimes!
Yep, that was favourite too! Given all the things I call myself on the course 'donut' would be by far the most PG friendly.
Keep going 💪
thank you!!
@@aliawghgolf pack it in
where is your course at
Find a coach at the course and get a lesson on grip and the swing . You look like you really enjoy playing the game . Ask questions with some of the better players at the course but really a coach could really help you out . Just enjoy the game and always do the best you can do .
That's a nice looking course, where is this? I might go and have a round!
in Devon, UK :)
Have you ever hit a great shot and wondered why?. Usually it's because we are relaxed and unconcerned with zero swing thoughts,it just happens.
You are doing fine, we all start somewhere. Practice, practice, practice. If you are ever around east Yorkshire let me onow, i will take you for around on my local course 🙂
need to practice loads on my short game for sure at the minute, i'm losing sooo many strokes with it 🥲
I love your enthusiasm and desire to get better. If I could offer a small bit of advice from what I'm seeing I would recommend bringing the club straight back without any sway instead of around your body. Also, don't come back quite as far. Just swing down and through naturally. Following just that advice will most likely knock 15 strokes off your next round.
thank you for the advice, im always open to it! what do you mean by bringing it straight back instead of around my body? apologies if that's a silly question haha
@@aliawghgolf start the backswing by bringing the club back in a straight line. The club will naturally move around your body as you turn your shoulders, but don't force it by bringing your left arm across your chest. Also, make sure you are not swaying to the right in the backswing as that will destroy your downswing. Just turn the hips and shoulders around the right leg. When you push into your left heal to start the downswing that will shift enough weight to the left to reduce the majority of those tops.
That's a lovely looking course! Which is it, and where abouts in the country?
I'm a slightly older golfer, with a slow swing (for a male), and my game is more or less where yours is. 24-25 handicap, 200yds max with the driver! There'll be lots for me to learn by watching your progress I think.
it's in Devon in the UK :) 200 yards is far longer than mine goes, hoping i can get to at least 180 with my driver!
@@aliawghgolfmy pal and I did a week golfing in Devon last summer - Teign Valley, Warren Dawlish, Wrangaton and Tiverton. Next time we go down we think we might be replacing Dawlish and Wrangaton with Churston and Teignmouth. But this course you were on looks lush, so we could make it a contender! Which is it?
Loving the languid swings by the way. It all looks very connected when it comes together on the good shots. Keep it up!
always ball to the front of your stance, never back.
kudos to you for filming your entire round.
You have a really nice full swing, I wouldn't touch it rn, other than to add a little speed throughout.
very handsy with the chipping - you lead with you hands/wrists (flipping them too much) which leaves the club quite open, needing good timing in order to hit a decent shot, hence ur leaving a lot of shots right or thins/chunks.
short game - that's where the practice is needed, get that better and it'll help your long game too.
Good luck on your YT journey, very high quality for a first break 100 vid, great job 👍
i'm struggling with adding speed to my swing at the minute as i feel like when i swing faster i lose the technique :( definitely something i need to work on though as i could be getting more distance! thank you for the advice on the chipping and short game, it's for sure a reason why i'm losing out on loads of strokes. my putting used to be the best part of my game, now it's the worse as i've neglected it with focusing on long game 😅 glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for taking the time to leave all your feedback!
When hitting the 56 near the green, open the face up a little and a half swing, gets good height and back spin
thank you for the feedback Luke, i will try this next time i'm out on the course!
Steeper swing for around the greens makes it a lot easier for me 👍 instead of coming inside with it 👍keep at it 😁
You're funny Alia lol
Update just finished; Keep playing.
Take a couple lessons. You will break 100 regularly.
Alia your golf isn't that bad ,sometimes if you got 270yds to the green take a 5 wood then you will have a full shot in to the green also have a few chipping lessons ask a coach or u tube ladies bella ,liv Cooke can't wait to see your nxt video ❤😊
i got a 5 wood for my birthday and it's my favouriteeeeeee club in my bag!! i use it all the time wherever i can :)
Hi Alia, love your video. I noticed that you are aiming to the right most of the time. It caused you to slice or pull your shots. Try to aim better to the target :). Good luck!
i struggle with aiming a lot tbh, most of the time i think i'm aiming straight when i'm actually not haha
I used to struggle with my aim :). You body will help you to swing left to get to the target causing the right shoulder to come out. Outside in is a killer. No worries, you will get it right at some point.
u roll the hands n take the club way inside. that leads to your club being in a laid off position at the top. which cause an over the top and a slice like on number 3. U do a good job of compensating for it tho most of the time you are able to reshallow it to get an in to out path but its hard to do that consistently. It also seems that you stand a little too close to the ball and doesn't have enough bend from the hip. Aside from that.. swing looks great. keep up the content!!
thank you for the feedback, much appreciated! i do shallow the club pretty well so i definitely get away with a lot
your game has a lot of potential but you gotta take some lessons, you'll improve much more quickly
I love watching you grow, but i do recommend stepping a little back on the chips and try to stay leaning and not standing up. Love the work🎉
thank you for the feedback!
Taking the club to far inside on the back swing
something i'm actively working on at the minute, used to be way worse but slowly getting better :)
One hole at a time
Definitely take some time to practice your lag putting, it’s a super important part of the game and I would say you lost atleast 5-7 strokes off long putts, also lining up your putts can really help aswell.
thank you!! will keep this in mind and add it to my list to practice :)
Stood way to close to the ball on your chip shots
Are you aware that you never hit a full swing? You always stop your swing short at around hip height. On your practice swings you seem to complete the swing so try swinging the same as them. It will stop the chippy low shots which you seem to hit quite a lot of!
i had an issue for a long time where i had a really bad overswing, so i started swinging shorter in drills but tbh i didn't realise i wasn't hitting a full swing till you mentioned it! 😂 i was wondering why i've lost so much distance haha!
Work on that and I guarantee you find some more distance and a better ball flight!
My analytics (strongly) suggest that you play better when your adviser is present
your adviser = you ?
@@aliawghgolf der...
Impossible for you to be a 25 handicap. That would mean Scotty Sheffler would only give you 34 strokes from the same tees. He would beat you by 70
i mean 70 is a bit of an exaggeration haha
you're not a 25 handicapper
25 hc but struggling to break 100 on a 71 par?
it's amazing what a mental block and lack of confidence can do to you eh? 😅
@@aliawghgolf No , what's amazing is the number of people who comment about your handicap , who don't know how the handicap system works.
