My pleasure @Ground Control! I try and make my RUclips videos the same as I coach in real life. Every day I am trying to get simpler. I appreciate your feed back. Brian. {S. Nice win by the Springboks last weekend.
The best coaches set themselves apart with the language they use. Brian you are super articulate and command our attention. Well paced lessons/tips. Love the visuals too, I like using the alignment stick for starting lines etc.
Thank you for your kind words. I have just been trying to get better at what I do every day. Coaching and video editing. I’m glad you are enjoying them. Brian
As usual quality advice from the best Coach I've ever known. Beautifully illustrated and explained. All are now filed in the WWBD section of my golf brain Stay safe and thanks.
Aw thanks David. It was fun to make and had to improvise yesterday when I found out there was no sound. Glad you liked it. I hope you get to play tomorrow. Brian
Brian, I’m big on commenting! But these points you’ve made are all things that take seconds to do or think about. So much of the game is in thinking about it. Simply taking a moment. Not wanting to rehash, but many times “take the shot you know you can make” goes through my head. It’s helped lower my score. I’ve doubled the time I’m taking hitting a bucket at the range. Just like these points, it all adds up. Thanks.
Thank you Bob. I love hearing your comments. I am honored that my videos have been of use to your golf and as my slogan says "change your score not your golf swing". There are so many ways of improving (thinking is a big part) with out going into the rabbit hole of golf swing changes. I always appreciate your feed back and it is great to hear you are implementing these simple strategies. Brian
I appreciate that Allan. I believe playing golf should be fun and kept as simple as possible. I am glad you are enjoying my content. Thanks for watching. Brian
Thank you I am glad I am able to help. just keep things as simple as you can. Golf does not need to be complicated. The aim is to get the ball in the hole for the least amount of strokes you can. That is the game. It is easy to get side tracked into the other, harder game. The game of golf swing... I appreciate your comments and wish you all the success in the world. Brian
@@fitzygolfpro Just the fact that you take the time to read these comments and respond with substance means a ton. And as a professional, hearing about being simple and not falling into the trap of 'golf swing' solidifies that I'm doing the right thing. Everything these days shows too much emphasis here when it's completely unnecessary. This makes the game much easier and opens up a whole new perspective to playing much more awesome golf. I will make the tour, just you watch! All the success to you kind sir!
Thank you Allan. I am impressed you notice the little things. Take care of the little things and they grow into bigger things. I actually love my job. It gives me so much pleasure watching the expression of someone getting a ball in the air for the first time or cracking the 100 for the first time. I used to get down when I was looking at how few people subscribe to my channel and watch my videos compared to others on the platform. These days I don't really care. Sure I watch the numbers but I am not thinking of ways to increase them as such. I just love the community that has formed on this channel. I figure if I can help 1 golfer improve that is a pretty special thing. I will take a great deal of pleasure out of watching your progress. Brian
Good on you Brian; thanks very much for the tips which are very helpful. It seems a lot of golf is training one's mind/mental attaitude as well as the technical side.
Very true Steve. As Jack Nicklaus said "Golf is 90% mental and the other 10% is mental too". There are so many ways we can improve our golf score without going through golf swing changes. Thanks for sharing your insight. Brian
This deserves more views! All advice are simple and easy enough to do if remembered! I liked perhaps the club selection and picking a point on green the best. I would perhaps have added one tip I have gotten, a tip to play the hole from green to the teeing ground in your mind. It is interesting how going opposite changes ones strategy!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Views are always a good thing but I prefer my videos to find the right audience rather than lots of the wrong audience with lots of views. I always used to walk a course backwards when I was viewing it for the first time and doing my yardages. It’s a much better perspective as you say. But then Of course that would be another video to film. Thanks for watching. Brian
@@fitzygolfpro I do hope you find your audience! I just felt many would benefit from this and reacted without thinking too much... Keep up the good work!
It’s been an 8 year journey on RUclips so far. I just make videos for average golfers do they can score better with a minimum of swing changes. Thanks for your encouragement. I really appreciate it.
I always used the 10 metre difference rule between clubs. There could be no set rule on this as the longer you hit your irons the greater the gap should be. All you could do is go and get it properly measured, which I think I will now get done. Great video.
It is well worth doing Anthony. Many sets of clubs have 4 degree gaps with their shorter irons and 3 degree gaps with their mid to long irons which is why there aren't 10 m gaps. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. Brian
Je retiendrais particulièrement la distance entre les clubs "7" ou "8" mètres, pieds ... ! J'avais déjà une approche dans ce sens avec : "après un coup de wedge la balle roule +/- 6m après l'impact !" (données Titleist "Vokey" + Pro V1, faites avec un robot de tir)! Donc je vais retravailler là dessus, pour être plus précis ! Pour le reste je l'applique déjà, si ce n'est que sur les approches, ma technique( "moins" conventionnelle) est de vouloir rentrer la balle ou de m'approcher du trou au plus près, en me concentrant exclusivement sur la ligne de tir et dans ce domaine, j'ai un très bon ratio dans l'ensemble ! Merci Brian bonne journée !
@@fitzygolfpro Merci Brian, mais c'est vrai que j'avais dans la tête ce chiffre de "10 M" entre chaque club, ce qui fait une différence énorme, maintenant je vais me concentrer sur ce calcul, ce qui avec l'habitude deviendra certainement un automatisme...Merci pour précieux conseil, mon ami !
permettre des écarts de 8 m aide certainement, mais aussi si vous êtes à plus de 100 m du green, frappez un club de plus que vous ne le pensez. Vous toucherez plus de GIR.
Great tips ! Reading the green from 2 sides is important. Last week on my first hole I only looked at it from below the hole and it looked uphill, it was downhill. the first putt went about 8 feet past the hole. 3 putted it. 🤦♂️
Thank you @Stephen DiBari I am glad you enjoyed it. This is something I see so often. It is commonly brought about from the pressure of keeping up with the group in front. I do most of my "looking" on my way to the ball so people don't even notice that I am reading the green. I believe if you walk correctly between shots you deserve a little time over the ball. Thanks for watching. I appreciate your feedback. Brian
@@fitzygolfpro in my case I simply was busy talking to my son and fell out of my routine. Not going to happen anymore. What pissed me off more is I have a green reading book of my local muni from GolfLogix here in NY and after I walked off that green I looked at the book and saw my putt was downhill. 🤦♂️
@@fitzygolfpro yes ! We played again today and after first 4 holes I was +6. My son said “focus on your ball striking, you’ve been playing 30 years and you know your swing on muscle memory”. 💥 then went +1 on my next 5 holes. +7 on the front 9. Eagled the par 5 12th hole and shot even par on the back 9 for a 79. Amazing. Just one swing thought and that’s all I needed !!
There's a certain high profile youtube golfer (and nice chap) who might break 75 a lot easier if he listened to that putting tip ;) All great stuff as always, I'm guilty of the chipping mistake, in choosing a landing spot but then looking at the pin as soon as I'm over the ball, will remember this. Had a good one yesterday, 83 (new personal best). Cheers!
That is awesome Adi. Congratulations on your new PB. I am not sure who you are referring to as I don't watch other youtube golfers (I don't want to be accused of copying). Everyone makes more putts when they work on speed control. You are on a good path. Thanks for watching. Brian
some great tips there Brian. Its been so wet up north in last 4 weeks I miss golf. Back in town next weekend so will get lots of games in with mates. i will be putting these tips in practice as part of game planning. Talk soon
Hey Brian, Absolutely fantastic tips Brian. Every one made me think about what I do in each scenario. As Steve Taylor mentioned below, golf is training one's mind/mental attitude. Totally agree. This video is definitely going straight to the pool room to be watched again and again. Cheers, Joe
Good advice! Course and golfer management! One thing I might add to you tip about aiming properly to fit your shot shape is to use the width of the tee box properly. If your normal tee shot shape is left to right, it is very helpful to tee off from the right side of the tee box and aim for the left third of the fairway. This gives you the maximum area to land your ball. Even a ball that is overcooked will likely end up in the first cut and not OB.
Hi Robert. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Your suggestion is a good one. I have covered this several times before in other videos. It can make a big difference to hitting more fairways. Thanks for watching and commenting. Brian.
this the best instruction I have seen in a long while and didn't cost me any money. no doubt Brian you are the best
Wow, thanks Jesse!
It won't cost you unless you forget to pick up the coin like I did.
I appreciate your comments.
Brian
Discipline and focus are words of gold from this respectful coach.
Thank you.
