      Seriously, a 23 handicap is hardly a terrible handicap. I recall reading that only about half of golfers can routinely break 100, and that’s among players serious enough to record their scores.

      I'm right there with you. I hated the game of golf for years. My dad was an avid golfer and he tried to turn me on to the game when I was a kid. I tried to play all through school and finally gave up. Hated it. Couldn't get the hang of it. Felt like a failure every time I went out.
      20 years later I went out again with my old man, after much coaxing. Before we left, I said to myself "to hell with it. If I shoot 150, I'm just going to have a good time." I gave up on being good.
      That day, not only did I break 100, I holed one out from 40 yards away for my only ever eagle. If that shot had been on TV, it would have been a replay. I've been chasing that dragon ever since, ha ha.

    I'm feeling so happy for John.
    Everything he said about the feelings of a bad golfer totally reflects my feelings when I played.
    But everyone deserves the satisfaction a good day brings. Finally it can happen to everyone.
    He especially deserves it for it's positive, sarcastic mindset. And for not taking himself too serious as far too many golfers doo.

      I still bet on the fact you would go broke if you had to pay a nickel/pence every time the same guys had their usual result during a club comps. 😉
      The fact is pretty simple. Some guys have big swings in their results for a number of different reasons. - Health issues might be one for the player who played for a long time, Finding and losing the technique might be the reason newr player have the same pattern. Other player almost always play around the same result every time do to the fact that they have the experience but don´t have to fight any health problems or other issius who give them big swings. (It's sad really, does lucky healthy bastards are the same guys who always complain when they lose to the other type of guys.)
      Cant even let them enjoy their good days, can you, right?! (Sorry mate, have a bad back and a really bad day right now - I am pretty sure you didn't intend to add insult to injury, so take this comment as it was intended - As a general remark toward your type of reactions during competitions.) 😉😊 👍

    Towards the second half of the video it seemed like John calmed down a little bit, smoothed out his swing, improved his strike and it looked a lot more effortless and he was smashing them.

      little late but the reason you play worse when your with people worse then you, is because you watch them take 6 strokes just to get to your drive, therefore leaving you impatient, annoyed, and honestly demotivating at some points because you get so bored. So ye

      @leprechaunjax 4 года назад +1

      @@kimhannemann so my practical reason truthfully is I sweat and getting the glove back on is a PIA, plus I don't feel I loose any feeling on a mallet putter. Blade maybe but not for me

    • @TheMightySandow
      @TheMightySandow 4 года назад +4

      Yeah, ask perhaps the greatest golfer of all time how to putt with the glove on! Jack Nicklaus never took it off. Probably the best pressure putter in the world.
