    As mentioned by others, this is by far your best video this year. Great lesson for us high handicappers who are mainly forgotten.

    "that is a good shot, cos it went forward" Sums up my hopes and dreams when playing golf perfectly. Love it.

    When I was younger, single handicap, I used to get angry at every bad shot. These days I am playing off 15, I am not trying to improve. I accept the bad days and you enjoy the good days. Most of all I enjoy the golf with a good group of friends. It's supposed to be fun!

    This has been one of the best golf videos I’ve ever watched on RUclips, Liam. It’s been honest, warts and all, educational and just shows you don’t have to hit your driver 200+ yards to break 90! Many of my senior players don’t hit it far but they do hit it straight,which is more important, and your playing strategy was just right. I will be putting this system into practice on my next t round and leave the driver in the bag. Thanks again Liam, great stuff.

  • @donstrzezewski4941

  • @1counse11or
    @1counse11or 4 месяца назад +3

    I've heard people talk about this basic strategy before, but it was really eye-opening to see it put into practice by a low handicapper. I will definitely be trying this next time out. It's also great to see that even an 8-handicap can be learning new strategies. Love the commentary. As you said, this is real golf. The good and the bad. Well done.

  • @martinjackson8026
    @martinjackson8026 6 месяцев назад +2

    Fantastic video, I need to take this on board .
    After having a stroke 4 years ago( thankfully I'm pretty much OK with just a slightly weaker left side which occasionally creates some weird and wonderful shots) my handicap has unfortunately hit a very high 26 from 15. Most of my problems occur from trying to hit driver or woods. Hitting irons most of the time keeps me out of trouble and would possibly bring my handicap down to somewhere reasonable.
    The one good thing from my little hospital visit is that if and when I hit a bad shot I no longer get angry I just smile and think to myself ' be happy I'm here playing golf , it could have been a very different outcome' .
    Liam love watching all the golfmates videos , they're always entertaining .

    @andrewwheeler2379 6 месяцев назад +6

    Two year's ago, I was playing off 24, started playing in Wednesday Comps with the OMP'S of my club, their advice, why try smashing a 3 wood off fairway, put a 6 iron up middle and keep ball in play. Straight and steady. I'm now playing off 12 using that method. No driver in bag, and I hit my 3 wood 190/200 but consistently straight with it .

    I'm just back playing after 17 years. First few rounds...100+, balls lost, penalties galore.
    Watched this video. Have taken 4i and above out of my bag.
    Played par 3 yesterday... went under 30 for first time in my life. 8i/9i chip and run gave me 7 greens out of 9. Can't wait to get back out on a full course and use my mid irons from tee to 100yds out.
    Game- changing.
    Potentially life- changing.
    Bravo

    Shot a 95 on Friday but l had 2 x 7s and an 8. I’m a 22 handicap and l lost a 97 so couple of points off. Couldn’t drive consistently but my rescue Club saved me allowing boggy golf for the most part, so played 4 iron off the tee back 9 which made a big difference. I also use my 8 and 9 iron for anything under 70 yards.

    @nevillepugh9808 6 месяцев назад

    Love this video Liam. We all rush to try and play "pretty" golf the whole time as we think that's the way it should be played. Too often we lose sight of the aim of golf is to shoot the lowest score possible, and it actually doesn't matter how you do it as there are no pictures on the scorecard. Great lesson to be learned here as I am sure there are loads of golfmates watching this that struggle to break 90, but if they follow these tips will actually find it easier than they thought. Got to take the risk out of play, and try and remember we are not pro golfers!

    Liam, I want your shotscope, great video, as a ancient high handicapper, I can relate to all you say, too often trying to hit" the shot".
    Great work Liam, best video I've watched this year
