Feels like we're getting closer each week, learning a lot atm and I'll talk about it all in detail in the next RTQS vlog. I've included the live score for you guys after seeing your comments too. Give the video a like and leave a comment if you're enjoying these
Throw 5gram of lead tape on the driver toe, ... so it becomes fade bias, and you can keep your normal action. And not have to mentally create a action. The tape will delay the toe from closing, you should then be neutral to baby fade. If you try making a fade , via using it as a correction, you could end up creating a slice. Tweak your equipment, you in season, no time for swing tweaks.
That's the type of round where you play with someone and you're thinking if this dude could just stop beating himself with these small mistakes he'd be kicking my ass right now. You're hitting super pure, impressive stuff, good luck man!
Great content. It's refreshing to see such an honest overview. Your narrative is spot on. Very relatable. I clicked on this as the Jamega used to be played at my club about 10 years ago. Had the pleasure of a few pro-am rounds and I have to say, even playing off 6, you boys play a different game to me. It was a pleasure to watch then....as it was again today. But main reason for posting was in response to your approach to the mental side. You're right you know. It does need tightening up. Now this may or may not be for you, but there are big gains to be had here with CBD. Especially with younger tour players looking to maintain focus throughout a tournament. One of my best mates happens to have launched a company a year ago. He's a superb consultant and works with guys just like you. Katrina Matthews is the main brand ambassador. Laura Davies is now on board, as are a host of male pro's. It's reputable. If you're interested, I'd be happy to introduce you and share the company name so you could have a chat about it. (chose not to now as didn't want to seem like a cheap advertising stunt) But either way my friend, good luck moving forward. Successful tournament golf does require the strongest of mental games. Add that to your 290 yard utility irons and around Surrey courses, you'll be deadly ;)
A 3:56 c’est exactement le swing idéal ... (qui est dans mon style): 1/ posture en symbiose 2/ 3cm du corps vers la droite pour transfert de poids sur jambe droite. A peine visible mais très efficace 3/ take away sans manipulation des poignets 4/ au top du back swing petite pause d’une milliseconde seconde qui permet un très léger transfert de poids sur jambe gauche 5/ bonne rotation 6/ Release avec supination Excellent swing très plaisant à regarder. Moi cela m’inspire !!!! Merci James!!!
That round looked so much better and controlled, those short game shots around the green really gave you a chance! Trust the process, the game is there
He marked his ball in the fairway with a tee, picking up the ball. WHen he got back, he accidentally picked up the tee before replacing the ball so the position was no longer marked, so he incurred the penalty.
Finally playing a course I’ve had a few rounds on. It can be a total bastard when fairways are running hard and fast and the rough is long. Your game is looking stronger after only a few rounds. Great stuff.
Really enjoyed seeing you play this course. I played it for the first time at the beginning of July and found the front 9 so much more difficult than the back 9 but then it wasn’t that windy ! I thought you played some amazing shots particularly your approach chips. Don’t be so hard on yourself!
This is my home course, im a 12 handicap and played the downs a thousand times. I can't believe how easy you made this course look. Playing off the oranges is daunting, let alone the back tees which can add on a good 75 - 100 yards (especially on the second). Your putting is insane. The camera doesn't do justice to how easy you made this look. I was looking forward to this video so much and im glad you did it. My dad and I thought this was awesome. Keep going james!!
Thanks for the comment Jack! Yeah RUclips never does the greens justice, it’s impossible to see the contours as you would in person. I really enjoyed the course though, you’ve got a decent home course here! 👊
@@GolfJamesWiltshire No problems, thanks for the reply :) Yeah the greens are a nightmare, pacey and bendy! I feel very lucky to have such a nice course local. Good luck for the rest of the season!
Geezer I had a chance to do what you are doing now and I'm just pushing plaster up a wall for a living now, but I can still play son, looking forward to seeing the next one mate, keep it up for the rest of us, good luck and speak for all the followers 👍 and looking forward to seeing the new video
Your game is looking much improved. Keep up the excellent work. I love the fade choice. Putting is like a mystical creature.. It shows up when you stop looking for it... So hopefully it will show up for next round and go low!
1:15 and 7:10 and 7:40 watch on these shots when you hit left, the clubhead at takeaway comes inside very quickly instead of straight back. Focus on taking the club head straight back or maybe visualize taking it to the outside for a cut. Compare those to 8:47 and 10:51 11:30 best swing 13:44 perfect takeaway and tempo
Well done James, I can definitely see the improvements to your game. I’ve been following you since the early days and tracking your progress....rooting for you 👍🏻 Also, worth mentioning that I think you have a great temperament on the course....not letting the bad holes/shots get to you, great asset to have 🙌🏼
Salut James. Ton swing est incroyablement rythmé et relax. Master class !!! C’est un exemple excellent pour les amateurs qui confondent force et vitesse. Ton swing me fait penser à ceux de Flo Alés et Patatorr de RUclips.
Nice round James, much better off the tee there. I've played Goodwood on a good day and its windy when your at the high points when its calm. Its all going to click one day soon and you will come in 2 or 3 under!
james , ive heard you mention the decade golf strategy system before . i see in these videos that you are hitting a huge amount of irons off the tees. the whole idea behind decade would be to git driver as much as it makes sense (62 yards between ob or hazard) to then be hitting less club into the greens then with narrower dispersion . give yourself more in positions gir inside 15 feet statistically making more putts then . Have you considered just experimenting with just hitting as many drivers as you can in a jamega event see how results differ ?
Good playing. Persistence pays off in the end. Since you say you are struggling with chipping, welcome to the club (its a large club). However, I recently watched a YT video by AlexElliottEvans where he was using a tee peg. Since I have been struggling on our tight, dormant Bermuda grass (tight as a rusted lug nut), I gave it about 10 minutes of practice and I AM AMAZED! Take the 15 minutes to watch the video and you will see what I mean. Good information can come from diverse places. Best of luck to you in future comps.
This is all going to come together one of these weeks. Nice. It must be a good learning experience watching yourself play. I hope someone reads this comment and can explain the penalty to me. I listened to the explanation 3x and didn't understand it other than understanding it was a one stroke penalty. thx
Yeah it really is! So we were placing in this round and basically I moved my tee which was marking my ball. As I couldn’t determine the exact spot it’s a 1 shot
Rhythym looked way better this week and you had opportunities to score, so that's a big positive. Short game needs a polish and there's always going to be a few lapses when you are making changes, but think you can be really happy with that round, conditions looked harsh. Keep it going and you can easily be competitive later in the year
Great video - appreciate all the shots shown. Great golf! I normally swing with an out-in path of about 1-2 degrees. And this is a fade for me. In your opinion, is this something I should be correcting? I have this (mistaken?) assumption that an out to in path means I am going over the top. Thanks!
I play this course a lot and can’t believe you’re hitting irons off the back tees😂 made a tough track look easy👏 you can certainly be forgiven for the putting, those greens are a nightmare to read! Best of luck for the future mate👊
It is getting better, you are scrambling better and hitting less wayward shots from the tee, the trend is in the right direction. 5 over is not bad especially in those windy conditions and you can see with some tidying up could easily have been lower.
Rotten conditions, but your game looks likes it's progressing leaps and bounds. Fantastic tempo for a lot of those swings, which was really impressive in the wind.
Great video James and you are generally looking much more in control of the golf ball. 👍👍👍 I couldn't understand the bit about a one shot penalty for incorrect use of tees....? Can you explain please?
I’ve no idea who you are, or how i came across your channel? But yeah, i like your content, and how you talk us through your round!.. instant sub... Good channel!.
Some really positive signs James - some great swings and good strategy with club selection to find fairways - shame a few shots got away from you and a couple of mis reads on the greens and +2 or level would have been a reasonable return - great first put of the day by the way!! Keep going and keep this content coming - good stuff!
super interesting vid thanks for shaing. Do you track your stats against tour stats as that would be interesting analysis of where you game is and what to improve good luck

James, the swing is looking good! Just keep believing. Rooting for you.
Cheers David!
Really enjoying these shot by shot videos.
Game looks in good shape!! Few more comps and you will be flying!!
Loving these vlogs James. Thanks for sharing.
Ball striking sounds dreamy
That round looked so much better and controlled, those short game shots around the green really gave you a chance! Trust the process, the game is there
Def looking smoother. Nice to see you getting the ball up to the hole!. Can you explain the penalty more?.
He marked his ball in the fairway with a tee, picking up the ball. WHen he got back, he accidentally picked up the tee before replacing the ball so the position was no longer marked, so he incurred the penalty.
@@chrisbaker1967 Thanks.
Just found this. This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing this James. Really looking forward to more
Enjoyed the video. Looking forward to more to come.
Great scrambling. What an awesome looking course as well, must check it out!
nice format you have chosen to share your round. Very informative and cool to hear your comments.
There is progress....You seemed more comfortable.....Good to see. Tough wind day.
Great progress swing looked in control and consistent 👍
Cannot get enough of these videos, keep grinding fella almost there
Looking forward to following this! Good job.

Really enjoy watching these vids thanks James and loving your swing. Good luck 👍
Great play!
Getting there nicely mate! Some lovely short game recoveries too
I’d love to play this course. Thanks James.
Havent got your vids on my reccomended for a couple months then this appeared, massive improvment since then James!!

Nice James, 5 over is pretty good seeing as you haven’t played there before and in 40mph winds that is just unreal. Keep it up!
Nice swing mate!
Well done. Looking forward to see how u do this year

A great tempo to the swing, James. Didn’t quite catch what the penalty was for, but that could easily have been 2/3 shots better. Good luck.
Swings looking mint mate
Great video, it's my home course so I feel your pain with the wind. Well done and good luck in the future
Nice round in those conditions mate well done.
Only down the road from me, but never managed to play there. Looks awesome, and decent score for sure.

Love these videos. Great to see you’re game getting better also.
Digging the trolley mate!
Swag
Great effort James, some awesome long puts, shame they didn't go in, and its really hard when fighting against strong winds.
Salut James. Ton swing est incroyablement rythmé et relax. Master class !!! C’est un exemple excellent pour les amateurs qui confondent force et vitesse. Ton swing me fait penser à ceux de Flo Alés et Patatorr de RUclips.

Damn what putted in the first hole. NICE 😎
Nice round.
Great vid, as you said different content than most are doing. Keep progressing!
What a putt to start. Had to feel great
Lol I set the playback speed to 0.25 so I could watch James swing in slow motion while warming up in the Matt, the commentary results were hilarious 😂
played Goodwood a few times, and when its windy there is no shelter. lots of positives mate.
This is all going to come together one of these weeks. Nice.

Swing does look better when your trying to hit the fade. Nice recap mate
Keep it going
In a few weeks or so when the fade is fully embedded you'll be flying, the course looked lke it was playing so tough this week!!!!
Eye it’s coming mate 🙌
Playing so much better! Shame about the missed puts.
If in doubt the wind did it,nice round.
Haha "Played that hole like a bitch basically", I've tried that on occasion..
Is it just me but for a fade the backswing seems to be coming more on the inside
