Jimmy, the only guy on RUclips able to communicate how the masses (we high handicappers) can play better golf. Thank you!!
I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching Jeff
I took 8-10 strokes off my game by not playing the last hole 😭
LMAO
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Along the same lines, when I started playing golf, they told me 36 was like the perfect score. I would shoot 36 every single time I played and would walk off the course happy! Eventually, I was able to get beyond the first hole and play the second hole!
😂😂
Thanks for the lessons!! Shot 80 today following your advice. I am usually at high 80’s or low 90’s Keep them coming Jimmy. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thats amazing! Thanks for watching and keep those scores LOW!!!
Bullshit.
Nice video and explanation. A friend of mine who shoots in the 70's told me that scoring on the golf coarse doesn't come from the shots you hit, it comes from the decisions you make. Most of us can hit good shots when we aren't trying to "go for it" on every shot. I only knew one speed for the longest time and that was as hard as I could hit it. Now I'm working on slowing it down and learning that it makes a big difference.
Hes correct. Think your way around the course!
That is me right now. 😆 trying to slow it down now.
I love it! I wondered before the pause if you would decide to wedge off the tee to avoid the water. That’s what I told myself I would do. Nice to see someone finally focus on course management to get better. You got it going on, Jimmy!
I can tell you that what Jimmy is saying is absolutely correct. I'm a 5-6 handicapper now, by playing" more conservatively". So yes, put that F'en driver away or just don't bring it along. On any given 18, I use it maybe once or twice by rarely more than that. Only on holes that are "way open" so I can hit the ball with less risk. Back then, I used to play aggressively "trying to make eagles and birdies" but I was a 25 handicap, because I made many 6's, 7's, and 8's because I had to recover more often from a bad shot. Now I play for Par, and guess what, I do get some birdies, probably more than I did when I played aggressively. Now one of my obsessions is to never ever lose a ball. Do not get suckered in by the golf course trying to "go for it"... don't do it unless you have a high likelihood of making the shot. Hit it conservatively to the front of the green if the back has trouble, a chip on the green can be better than a difficult 60' put,, play smart.
Youre correct sir. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching!
I agree this is a good idea for someone who shoots 85-95 regularly, but eventually to become truly competitive you’re going to have to try to score, leaving your longest club in the trunk is not a good way to score more often.
Love this!
Bullshit.
I only use it when it's opened up wide and I'm fairly down the middle but now on par 5's love teeing off with my 4i and still get par and inevitably someone in the group is ob out the gate or in terrible position. One of my friends has been putting his driver away and as I promised, he would should better scores. 8 to 10 strokes better on his last 2 rounds
This was NOT a clickbate. Thnx 👍
Glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching. -Jimmy www.tropicanagolfshop.com
This is a great instructional video for a new golfer like myself. I can't hit my driver straight for the life of me (keeping it PG). I golf with a buddy that has a back injury and only swings irons. this is a great video showing how the approach is as important as distance. I continue to use my driver just for practice, While best with my irons, I feel like I need to practice my driver. I'm a family man and my days off can easily be consumed by family activities leaving me with "Wednesday" golf days as the only practice. I wish I had more free time for the range to practice. I like how you point out the clubs you use for shots. I've been relying on the average distance of friends and my golf app to help with distance. it has helped. I watch you and Manolo often and those videos have helped me learn how to enjoy the game. this video has helped with showing how to play the game with finesse like I've imagined it. First year golfing. Counting strokes but only to see if I improve next time I'm on the same course.
Jimmy, Appreciate your humor, and your balls for showing your less than stellar shots. Your tips blow my mind. I'm a 20 handicap, and shot 84 the other day using your tips! Keep repeating yourself. I need the reps. Thanks pal.
Amazing. So happy it works for you
Jimmy,thank you for being the voice of reason for so many of us. I am currently trying to transition(finally)from my 35 year old swing to my 73 year old swing and I effing hate it! BUT,your videos that just make so much sense for those of us who are getting older and only play a couple times a week or less are so on point I can easily comply with the concept.It's working pal....I just have to keep my aggression under control and I'm good. Thanks!!!!
I never subscribe watching one video but I liked everything about this one. Well done in all aspects sir.
Thanks for watching
Hi Jimmy. Love this style of video cos you showed us exactly what each shot looks like and how not to get a big number on a hole. Plus it helps me feel like I can swing similar to you even though my is less professional 😅. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and help keeping our ego in check! 😁😊
Thanks for watching. Im glad this video helped. More coming soon!
26:12 - that swing is my spirit animal...
Lolol.
Thanks for all the great tips on course management. This Saturday, I will definitely put them all in practice and hope to start breaking 90 consistently. As always, please keep the videos coming 😊
Good luck to you. I hope these help! Thanks for watching.
Love your stuff Jimmy! Great content! I am constantly telling myself to slow down on the course now and it’s helping my game immensely. Thank you for sharing🙏
love to hear it Matt. thanks for watching.
Exactly the video I needed to watch. ❤
Hope it works for you. Thanks for watching
This approach will be my mindset from now on. I've really had a problem with keeping my ego at home, but this is certainly one step further on.
Keep it on the grass! Thanks for watching!
¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹1¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹¹
Jimmy, I like your style. Most guys won't have the discipline to pull that off and some will still hit a 7-iron OB.
Gotta keep it ON THE GRASS no matter what it takes! Thanks for watching
I pulled once off the tee pitching wedge OB. The hardest part on the golf course is to swing smooth every shot, plus you need a good swing, alignment, grip. A lot of things are involved.
Dude's got good action, and wise words. Listen up HHers
Jimmy your all class thanks for taking the time to show us hackers another way.
Thanks for watching. Hope it helps!
Great advice! - Judging by comments on forums it seems that a significant number of people don't realize (or at least feel its ok to bend the rule in casual play) that you are not allowed to drop an OB ball, nor a lost ball (except when lost in penalty area), close to where it exited with one penalty, meaning you are instead obligated to take stroke-and-distance (repeat original shot from same place plus one penalty), a much heavier penalty than dropping.
Very true
Awesome video. After seeing how tight that second hole was and then going to the third you were like THIS hole is hard! 😮
Thanks Jimmy. Great advice and you proved it true by showing it can be done.
Thanks for watching!
I respectfully disagree with some of what’s presented here and in other Tropicana Entertainment videos (only minor, relatively inconsequential stuff), but I can’t stop watching them and certainly can’t argue with the results. Mucho kudos.
Great point. My only time on golf course 2 years ago. My 3 wood sliced every ball into the woods. Lossed 9 balls on 9 holes.
So your video will make me think next time
I always keep 100,000 consistent balance I never lose my golf ball this is definitely a iron play course I use a half swing too most of the time staying in play is smart nice video thanks
Honestly one of the best videos I have seen in decades. Must watch before any amateur gets on the First Tee
Thanks for watching!!
Great video Brotha! Ive been teeing off with a 7 wood lately which carries 180, but its dead accurate. Thank you for the video!
Keeping it straight and on grass is the most important. Nice job. Thanks for watching!
Tremendous video ... possibly one of the best sensible how-to ones I've ever watched ... and I watch a lot of golf vids :)
Thats great. Thanks for watching
Great advice!!! Grandpa golf is what I call it and I wish I would started playing it 30 years ago. But oh no back in the day ..... my ego would of had me hitting driver off the tee box on everyone of those holes and I would be 6 over just like you said. Now my golf strategy is to always try to position myself to where I am 110 to 130 yards out and I can hit my favorite iron...PW. I know once I have that in my hands I am on the green 80 (or close to it) percent of the time. To all the golfers out there, just try it. Put the ego away and you will be beating your buddies in no time.
Put the ego away keep the ball on the grass and things will go your way. Thanks again for watching.
Great video Jimmy,ive never looked at it this way but you've opened my eyes and i definitely will be doing this from now on,so glad i came across your channel 👍
Love to hear it! Glad its working for you. Thanks for watching
Great video as usual Jimmy. I’ve decided my next round of golf there will be nothing in the bag but irons and putter of course not going to give the ego a chance to make me take out the driver and try to swing out of my shoes. Thanks again Jimmy love all your videos
Rickey, thanks for watching. Keep the ball on the grass and stay positive. Let me know how it goes
Great movement. Play smarter. Also congrats on winning Holy Moley. Me and my 4 kids were rooting for you man. We watched it on Hulu. You crushed them. 😊
Ha! Thanks for watching. Holey Moley was so fun!!
I usually hate these types of videos but I thoroughly enjoyed this. Fun to watch and the information is very simple, but makes complete sense, and sinks in. I shoot mid 80s, and my goal this year is to break 80. Thinking like this on the course would help even me for sure.
A great simple concept for course strategy! Thanks
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Hey Jimmy you’ve done a great job of showing the swing from the back view as well as face on. Could you do a view from the front also? Just to show how the arms release. Preciate you 🤙🏽
Thats a good idea. Ill do one soon. Thanks for watching
Great video on course management and playing the shots you know you can make! good golf is not about hitting the sexiest shot love it!
This approach is golf gospel. This is sensible, every man golf. I’m glad he references your playing partners. If you discipline yourself to manage the course you will get lower scores.
Another way to think about this is to play for par or bogey. You’re not likely to get birdies unless you are a highly skilled golfer, which we are not.
spot on! thanks for watching
great stuff man, love it. Can you do a video where the camera is facing you (front view) as you hit the ball? tee and fairway shots.
Yes. Ill do that soon. Thanks for watching
Great advise Jimmy. Thanks. Where I add up the score is hitting behind the ball on my 2nd &/or 3rd shots. I take my hybrid, 6 iron or 7 iron and hit 2 inches behind the ball not sending the ball far. The next hole I hit those shots perfect then I screw it up again on the following hole. I can keep my tee shot in play.
Shorten your backswing and ensure that you make contact with the ball. It may not go as far but its better than chunking the ball. Thanks for watching.
Playing smart golf, its the best way to play and you can get more aggressive as your ball striking gets better. If you can stripe driver, do it but you have to be smart about your choices! Great video!
Jimmy you are a star, love your video, simple but amazing thank you for sharing this😊
Thanks for watching! More coming soon
OK, finally got out and played 18 holes after watching your videos, playing the best round I have played since I moved to Tellico Village in Tennessee I admit I haven’t played a lot of golf the last two years because of my addiction to pickle ball, but I went out and shot an 89 for me was an excellent round missing three birdie, putts and four par putts. I have to say the people playing with me even asked me what has changed, and I shared with them the fact that I was watching your videos. I am very encouraged to continue to work on my game with the simple swing thought. I should have easily shot 86 . I only have one question when you bring your arms back and wave to the camera is that your wrist cocking or is that too much to think about. Thank you so much.
I love to hear about stories like this. I’m glad you were playing better. Don’t even think about your wrist. Just swing back. Swing forward and let the ball get in the way of the swing.
@@TropicanaEntertainment thanks again, letting everybody know about your videos am now subscribed to your channel and will look at some of your swag
Thanks Jimmy,your help is always appreciated.Maybe if you could do a what's in the bag in the future? I would certainly find it interesting how you built your bag to what it is today
Will do soon! Thanks for watching
Sundance theory. Greatest tip ever. For every golfer on the planet. Next time you go to the driving range place the ball tray behind you. Rack each ball one at a time to in front of you. This is what you will see on the T box and fairway when you play. This takes the multiple balls from your sight and takes the nervousness from your warm up. Good luck
Jimmy those holes are a tad short ours 390 to 440 yards.7 iron wont cut it Use driver off tee set for iron shot firm punch 3/4 swing,low 200-220 yards,then 5, then wedge But good advice After 2 good shots I'm pulling the triger ooops OB chalk a 10+ ive no control I'm yet to fin a round without smashing one after 3-4 good hits oops, Wish I had your will-power. Great vid.
“If you don’t take your medicine, you won’t get better.” Love it! Sick.
its the truth!
Jimmy's tips works..play to your strengths..that 160 yard shot surrounded by bunkers and water..fuhgettabout it..play to the front and chip on..take the problems out of the equation..shot an 88 first time with this mindset.
Jimmy, you should have seen my face light up when you changed your mind on that 3rd hole with the lake on the left😂😂😂. I have advocated for years playing more or less like you are playing here. It's so amusing when people comment after 5,7,9 holes that I am even or 1 or 2 over and all I have done is hit unspectacular iron shots...oh, and they are 10 or 12 over after 9 holes😂
Thats the point. Im glad you got it. You MUST commit! Thanks again for watching.
Thank you! Very good and sensible lesson.
1st time out this year and I shot an 88. WooHoo, Not bad for a 77 year old. Thanks, Jimmy! 😊
Love to hear it! Thanks for watching
damn it seems like every hole on that course is super narrow! great content as always!
Its very tight! You must be accurate!
You took the fun part out of this game, I knew course management are important
Few things ….
1st ..awesome content ! Love it
2nd ..once I get to this course and see the condition .. all seriousness is out the window lol respectfully
3rd… I’ll double any hole in the world before I tee off with my wedge 😂😂
Thanks for watching
Thanks Jimmy
Thank you so much. That's the thrue of golf game. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching
Great advice....so many of us overly focus on hitting the "perfect" shot to the detriment of basic common sense course management. The only ques/ difference that I would have is in regard to the short chip shots that you showed. You have mastered your 69 degree wedge. Wouldn't most mid to high handicap golfers have better results keeping the ball lower to the ground and running their chips , when an obstacle (bunker) doesn't need to be covered?
Thanks
Great advice. It’s fun to hit the big shots, but they are low percentage. It’s MORE FUN to turn in scores that beat your buddies!
Possibly the most useful golf instruction video ever made. Well done Jimmy.
Thats excellent. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching
Another good one. Some rounds I don’t lose any and some rounds may lose 4 balls. Burns my a$$ when I have to take that penalty stroke. Great video
Thanks for watching. I hate losing balls too. I hope this helps!!
That second shot looked like it was headed for trouble.
You should do 9 holes with a random mid handicapper where he does what he wants, 9 wholes where he does what you tell him to do.
Thats a pretty good idea.
8 strokes off my last round would put me at 74, I’ll take it 😂
Try it
Im usually in the 70s, and i agree with this method of thinking. Only thing im doing different is probably hitting the 5 off the tee, have a shorter shot to the green. Good info...
You’re correct. Thanks for watching
Very nice lessons, jimmy!!!
Thanks!!!
After watching this, I realize now that had I used my 60 off the tee Every hole I played the past 10 years I literally would have shaved 9000 strokes off my game. Genius!
You described my game! I have to try this!!
Lake of fire LOL!! Next video less go!!
Jimmy. Happy New Year to you buddy.
Amazing video. Had a horrible round last week, driver, driver driver. Scored 103.
I am going without the driver next time and follow your instructions
I sincerely Thank you for helping us along, your lessons are priceless.
I live in LA and I truly wish I could meet you to day Hello.
Thank you buddy.
Bless you and your family.
Thank you for watching and for the kind comment.
God I wish my golf mates tought like this. The main problem I face improving my game is this: the society I play with insist on playing really tough, unforgiving courses. Even though most of them are high teens and mid twenties handicaps! They also insist on playing off championship tees. AND, they are forever comparing their 4-5 hundred quid drivers. Thanks for the half hour of sanity.
Good tactics for average golfers. A lot concentrate on the driver. But the key improvement is be deadly at 125 yards. Practice should be more concentrated on the short game
True. Thanks for watching
If you take 8 to 10 strokes off my score I’m a + handicap lol. I wish it were so easy.
Awesome video thanks for posting
Some people play to score. I believe most people don’t even keep score. People hit there drivers because it’s fun. If they miss the target, they hit another one. I play 200 rounds a year, and I witness this all the time.
Thats fine. Play the game however you enjoy
Jimmy that 50% 5iron looked like it went 100m into the the jungle
Keep it in the grass. Yess sir !!
Great video.
Thanks for watching
Good stuff Jimmy.
thanks for watching
Absolutely identify with you. Thank you!!!
I thing it's a good idea for me to make bogie without lost balls.
Thanks for your kind tips.
November 21 - nov 22 used the same ball and never changed it. Was a great achievement for myself. 22-23 I ruined it and lost a ton
On the second hole since you never hook you should have lined up on the right side of the box not the left. It would have given you more room for a fade playing the ball to the left side of the fairway. Then if you hit it straight still in the fairway. Going all the way to the left you have to hug that tree and a fade still has the potential to go into the ruff or out of bounds. Hope that makes sense. Great video though.
While you can hit your 7 iron with close to 100% accuracy, the high handicappers will only achieve about 50% accuracy. The rest of the shots are either topped or shanked to the woods.
Thats false.
@TropicanaEntertainment so you're saying that a 28+ handicapper can hit their 7 iron cleanly close to a 100% of the time just like you do?
Ive been trying the "bump" forward method, but I seem to be chunking/fatting the ball a lot. Not sure why, any thoughts?
Play the ball in the back of your stance. Even with your back foot. Also, don't decelerate on the way down.
Jimmy, you hit the ball a lot farther than most of us. Does the strategy change if I'm hitting a 5 iron from 150?
Hit whatever you can hit consistently and on grass. Keep it in play and good things will happen. Thanks for watching
Dude!
AWESOME!!!
Solid game plan sir. Q: when having a dominant left to right ball flight, why tee up on the left side. Seems teeing on the right of the tee box allows the ball have the chance to land in the fairway? Great vids,dassit.
Thanks, Jimmy. I'll try to be smart, lol.
Great vid Jimmy. What sunglasses are you wearing?
they are electric golf sunglasses
Very good video, but it would be better if you talked about the distance your dealing with. For example, when you hit the 60 degree, im now wondering how far did you hit that
Before I watched your video.....putt, putt, putt, putt. Went from low 90's to high 70's. Quick. Shot a 77 Wednesday and I was putting lights OUT.
Thats awesome. Great accomplishment! Thanks for watching. More coming soon!
I never really warmed up on the putting green, since I started spending a good 15-20 minutes warming up my putter before I round I’ve taken at least 5 strokes off my score
It’s 2 strokes a ball if you play the hole well after the lost ball
Great vids bro!
I try and play this way but still can slice an iron or duff a chip so then I get frustrated and just hit hard off the tee and hope my slice stays in play I shoot in the 90's
Smooth is out and get rid of the bad shots
I don't play the last hole!
By the way, your videos are the only ones I can relate to. Very effective. Actually I'm repulsed by some of the previous ones I "relied" upon. My god! Rocket science is nothing compared to this instruction. I also can't stand the "club head doesn't fit my eye" or "the sound is so tinny" or "I'm not too keen on the graphics". Seems these folks need a psychiatrist or a custom club maker.
Golf is an easy-ish game. Make it simple. Thanks for watching
When look at the number of wipes (0 points) or DB in stableford comp at my club on Saturday tells you that players are playing way to aggressive.
Excellent video. Thank you from the UK, Jimmy. What's the name and location of this golf course?
This is via verde country club. Thanks for watching.
