I love that you play it through reality.
Real recognize Real
Wow! I'm so happy to find your channel. The majority of RUclipsrs think that they have to be stand-up comedians for their vids. Life's too short for all of their unfunny antics. Thanks so much for your excellent pure-drop style.
70 yr old curmudgeon, Kev 👍
Thank you Kev. Enjoy!
Glad you’re keeping these videos real. 24:58 That 11 yard shanked chip shows you’re not editing the bad stuff out. I couldn’t tell you how many times I done that last season, way to play through it. Keep the awesome videos man 👍🏻
Golf happens my friend! Thanks for watching
I just found you a couple of days ago. Hands down the best instruction I've ever seen online for the average golfer! Everybody, myself included, tries to bomb it like John Daly. Guess what? The results are just as you describe. Took some time away from the game for a few years, now at 74 years old, I can't break 100 to save my life! Can't wait to try some of your ideas. They make so much sense!
Good luck to you. Hope it works!! Thanks for watchinf
He got me from high 80's low 90's to low 80's high 70's consistently after 2 rounds.
Thanks for keeping it real Tropicana . Love the content .
Thanks for watching
Great job Jimmy! I have to tell you, sometimes you can be your own worst enemy. You can get so wrapped up on what everyone else is doing during a round of golf and lose yourself in the process. Your principles are a great reminder!
You got it! Thanks for watching. New video coming sunday
Great video for the average golfer! I work at a course and the first hole is a blind shot into a valley, unbelievable how most golfers pull out driver. I’ll suggest they watch your video…lol!
You know it! Play this on a loop in the proshop. Lol
I like that you are so real. Golf is golf. There is luck and humiliation at times.
Golf Happens!!!
The fact that you show the warts an all in this approach gives you a lot of credibility. I will keep applying your approach. I know it will eventually lead to consistency for me. Thanks
Keep it going. You’ll get it.
Thanks Jimmy. I appreciate the way you explain what you're doing. Very easy to understand.
Thanks for watching!
I notice that a lot of RUclipsrs must watch you as it shows up in their posts within a week. Nice to have it without all the bullshit.
Thanks for watching
Been watching these daily uploads religiously and enjoying the tips. On the quest to break 90! Thank you for all you do Jimmy! Would really enjoy a full 18 from you with your regular play.
I will do that soon. Thanks for watching
When I first started playing golf,I bought a set of irons from a friend,and didn't bother with woods in case golf was a 5 minute wonder.I got down to a 15 hcp.and decided to treat myself to some woods.Strangely my scores didn't improve,in fact often they were higher ! I got fed up looking for my ball,and walking back to the tee to play another ball.
I frequently notice that even if you make the fairway,and have the longest drive,you can walk off the green with a higher score than the "steady Eddie" who plays his second shot first,and keeps his ball out of trouble.
When the long drive on a hole scores higher than the rest of us... when we're walking off that green... we always tell him "nice drive, though". LOL
Sage and very fundamental wisdom of game improvement. I very much appreciate your calm and "take-it-as-it-comes" attitude. Please keep the teaching vids comin' brother.
Love to hear it. Thanks for watching
I love the "keep it in the fairway" lesson; however, your reaction to the hosel strike was the best takeaway. Cool, calm and collected. That control allows you to play the game beyond that hole. Just great!
The world never ends. I birdied the next hole lol
awesome@@TropicanaEntertainment
I luv watching your videos my friend, you don't edit shit, you don't take nothing out, it's all real, and you really simplify shit to the max. Easy to learn and understand, till next brother, take care and stay safe.@@TropicanaEntertainment
Love the 11 yards right shot. It happens..it's golf...it's life. You not editing is why I watch and laugh out loud. Below the whole, conservative play and hockey practice helping!
Thats golf. Gotta keep playing. Thanks for watching
I'm not sure about California. But in my state, if you hit a house that is on the course with your ball, you as a golfer are not responsible for any damages. As long as you were doing something within reason. If you tee off with a driver on a par 4 and hit a house because the ball sliced? Not your problem. Now, if you have 100 yards into a freen and hit a driver, then you can be held liable. Because you did something knowing it was not a normal shot or play of action. I do not hold back because there are houses. Even the Tour Pros slice and hook and pull. If you want your house on a golf course, you know the risk associated with it.
JT is absolutely right. Keep it in play and on grass. I call it course management. Be smart.It’s helped me. I just need to work on my three putts!
I haven’t golfed since October and by watching your videos I believe I’m already better as long as I use your tips. Can’t wait till the golf courses open up. North Dakota. Thanks!
Hope they work for you. Swing smooth
Thanks for showing your bad shots too. Most of us do things just like that at times. Subscribed, because of that and good lessons to bring to my game.
Thanks for watching!
Jimmy, I’m glad you snickered at that shot. I definitely need that attitude on the course
Golf happens
Just found your channel, Jimmy. Love the simplicity with which you teach. Cheers, man!
Jimmy, still love the unediting! I froze the video and saw why you it that ball to the right. You forgot one of your tips of starting with the end of the club halfway on the ball so you don’t hit the heel when our natural swing moves the club head out. You started with club head center almost with the center of the ball, hence you hitting the heel of the club and the ball went right. You are right (that’s golf!)
Yup. Hozel rocket. You live and learn. Thanks for watching
Thank fuck for the shot, here I was thinking you were the King of the Swing mate. But glad you kept that in the video. It gives me hope. Cheers from Australia.
Golf
Happens! Keep playing.
You’re the best. So much fun.
Thanks for watching
Literally applied the concepts that you preach during the round, keeping the ball in play is the holygrail, i agree wholeheartedly. Even if you need to do layups, half swing etc just keep it in the fucking play man, you will enjoy the game much much more. Leave the ego at home. Thanks again
Thats the secret man. Ball on grass. Hit it again. Thanks for watching
One consequence of your method follows. We are in winter mode. Only our lower 9 open. I was the only one playing today. I played around twice. I played two balls on every hole. Here is the consequence of watching your golf. Virtually on every drive, every fairway shot, every pitch or Chip, my two balls were within 10 yards of each other. Actually, in most cases they were within 5 yards of each other. I’m working hard to have fewer friends in my jacuzzi! What I mean, I’m working hard at updating to a 4 person jacuzzi from a 6 person. Mostly pars, several bogies, last hole my double bogie. One was good, the other no so good. I fixed it and both were in the 6 person jacuzzi.
Now I just need to get the muscle memory to make this my golf. Oh, over 200 fairways this spring and I’m playing the same two balls.
I am also playing every other club. One day, W, 8, 6, 4, D 10.5, 5W 7H, P. Next day U, 9, 7, 5, D9, 3W, 5H, P. It doesn’t seem to make a difference in score, just different power to match the distance. It’s been great training. Usually I meet up with better golfers ( lower handicap) and I’m running par with them even though their younger limbs hit 20% per club further.
Dont worry about hitting it far. Keep it on grass and keep it smooth!! Thanks for watching
Swatting a 9 iron (or any iron for that matter)160 yards within 20 feet to the pin is a pretty tall order for most of us, Jimmy. I think that may be where your skill level is higher than the average Joe's like me. I used to have a good game until I pretty much stopped playing for 30 years.I was an 11 handicap in high school and I'm trying to get my game back. I still agree with your course strategy, though. It makes sense.
Stick with it. It will benefit you in the long run. Thanks for watching.
Jimmy is a long hitter. You don't need to hit a 9i 160 yards, just hit your 160 yard club. For me, between a 6 and 7. I Crack up when he grabs a 50° for a 120 yd shot. Me... enter my 9
Mr. Roger’s of golf 😂😂😂
Jimmy - Everything has been amazing. THANK YOU. Can you do a video on 3/4/5 iron? I'm struggling there. Lots of mishits and tops. Trying to strike it like my 7 iron, but struggling.
@@joshuablank3668 grip down on the club. Make it the length of a 7i. Hit it the same. Watch what happens. Thanks for watching
Other Golf Content Creators: I only edit to show good content! Jimmy Tropicana - hold my beer. Gotta admit, this was the first time I've watched one of your videos where I actually laughed out loud! Hitting that 11 yard chip to the right could could literally be any one of us. Now let me show you how to take a full swing with a 3 wood and hit the ball 4 feet.
GOLF
HAPPENS!!! Keep playing. Thanks for watching
Keep the realness bro 🙏❤️✅
Thanks for watching
You guys are hilarious, lol. In a good way.
thanks for watching
Just recently found your videos. Great stuff. Your “wave at the camera” tip has really helped my game and now this game plan - I’ll find out this weekend if it helps as much as I hope. I’m probably hitting 5W from the tee though. I need some distance.
Wave at the camera is a game changer. Enjoy
Very cool playing through the screwy shot that you didn’t edit out. Yep, that’s Golf.
Golf happens
After I had just smoked a bowl, “world didn’t end” 😅 made the morning for sure. Now made me want to hit the range and practice them shots
Thats the feeling! Thanks for watching
That slice was Cool…happened to me several times
Golf happens
Golf will always golf. The uncut holes are great. Way to play through it.
Thanks for watching!
Jimmy, love your videos. Best part was that shank, we’ve all did it a thousand times.
Shanks Happen!
Doing the hockey swing drill. Like it. Lets me know what the right shoulder does in the downswing.
Love it.
Jimmy, another great video, keep up the good work.
Thank you for watching
great video ,slap shot great visual, Golf Towel needs good wash🤣JDS UK
Hahaha. Ill wait till it rains
Hey man i wonder what clubs you put in your bag, how about a short witb session for average golfers like us
Gonna do a WITB very soon
Getting used to my new 69 wedge! Thanks Jimmy!
Enjoy!
Another fine video from Mr. Realz and I thank you! I swear the more I practice my swing the worse I get. I play better if I chip and putt 80-90% of practice time. Am I the only one that finds that true?
Chipping and putting is EVERYTHING!
Well done Jimmy, at 10:44min video, I saw you compensated the ball above feet situation very well resulted hit the ball landed about 1.5 yards right side of the blue flag. Have you done any extra technique to achieve that great result? or just assume normal flat ground short? thanks buddy :)
If the ball is above your feet, its going left. Aim right.
That was freaking awesome lmao
do a video on the putting yips had them so bad went to putting with my driver
whoa!!! I wonder how that went
I read the book you mentioned; from Birdie to Bogey, very accurate. 🤣
Thats my favorite book lol
😂
Great to see someone who Isn't afraid to be human! I laugh at those hosel shots myself!
Hosel’s happen
I get trying to keep it below the hole for pitches and chips, but on approach I'd rather give myself birdie putts that are sometimes above the hole than come up short just because I'm avoiding three putting
Easier to make an uphill birdie putt fyi
I have my first official matchplay this Saturday i very nervous any advice i’m 47 hcp my opponent 28hcp they gave me 15 extra stroke
Step one. KEEP YOUR BALLS IN PLAY! No OB!
Da man. With the plan!
You got it!
Such a great video. Subbing for sure.
Thanks for the sub!
I hit 5-wood off the tight holes (ask the guys I play with)
I hit 33% of fairways with my Driver
… I hit 50% fairways with my 5-wood
“In play” … I’ll take it
But …
If one of my friends tees off with driver first AND hits the fairway … can you still hit an iron? … a hybrid? … a 5-wood?
Egos get in the way.
Do you go back to the bag and grab the Driver? It’s tough to stay humble (and play short) 😔
Plus, do you really want to hit a wood or long iron into the green when your buddies are hitting short irons in? 🤷🏼♂️
What’s the percentage of hitting the green with a long iron vs a wedge? 🤔
Remember what the King, Arnold Palmer once said,
““Golf is a game of inches. … The most important are the six inches between your ears.”
Good stuff (again) 👊🏻
Ego’s are round killers. Play smart, Swing smooth
Everyone has a plan until the ball hits the hosel.
Love the videos Jimmy, i watch them all the time. What’s the lady’s address, I’m running low on golf balls-i like to grip it and rip it 😂
Hahahahaha. Every hole, go 225 yards up and 40 yards right. Ball heaven.
Even tiger had a shank😂
True!!
If I would have hit bogey on the 18th hole today, I would have hit 89 for the first time. But, fell apart and shot a 92. 😢
Gotta keep it together! You got this!
I bet your low to mid 80's by now.
@@gcoffey223 - no sir, I’m high 80’s, but I’ll take it. 😀
@redghost3170
Live it!! Nothing to sneeze at either!!
Brilliant sir! The thought process is sound...its awesome! Ive unsubsribed to about 10 golf channels since finding yours. Many thanks doe your channel.
Love to hear it. Thanks for watching
Jimmy you're probably 100% correct. But in my thick head I see the retarded price I paid for my driver and I can't stand to let it collect dust in the bag. Also my brain tells me "you'll never get better with a club if you never use it." I know I should check the damn ego at the door and I'll 100% be that guy buying balls from his yard. But man that 1 time I hit it straight though! Lol😂😂 man what a rush! Oh and much respect for not editing it the shank. That's why we love you man.
Hit the ball on grass. If it means less club, so be it. Thanks for watching.
on the second hole you would have been better off hitting your third shot on the green above the hole and probably two putt for par than keep it below the hole off the green and still have to chip to even get on the green and eventually bogey.clean the rust off your clubs lol.
No chance. That downhill putt is 3-4 putt land
@@TropicanaEntertainment i'd rather take my chance with a downhill put than take a chance on flubbing a chip like you did,lol.
Shanks for the great video! er....I mean thanks! I know, that was a terrible joke. 😅
Hahahahaha. Got me
The way you play, you only need a 3 iron, 9 iron, wedge, and putter. Why an entire bag of clubs? Lol.
good idea. gonna throw the rest away hahah
Way to recover!
Gotta keep playing! Thanks for watching
👍🏻✌🏻
Do you ever clean your clubs?
Only when I play in the rain
😃 comedy...idk Jimmy, I dig you & your style but,....I like hitting driver & getting to the hole on approach shots and putts..( never up, never in) maybe I'm old school, maybe I listened to Tigers tips too much..?? My hdcp was 6 or so when I played 2 times a week.... someday I might try your philosophy but it seems to go against my personality.....😊
Play your game. One day, play mine. Just for fun. See what happens
When i play with straighten legs at address i play and swing better why?
Do whatever works. There are no rules in golf
Try not to think as much just play
Entertaining?
Informative?
I think so, thanks Jimmy
Love to hear it. Thanks for watching
Hey!
🙋🏽♂️
Love to see these! ⛳️
You never hit a driver
He does, but he shows you it is more important to stay in play. I been teeing off on narrow par 5's with a 4 iron. Almost always get a par. 4 par 5's and that's 4 pars. Go 2 pars out of 4 par 3's and that's a only +2 with a 12 holes to play. Out of these 8, 4 are shorter par 4, so call that 3 pars out of f. Now your +3 with 4 long par 4's left. Get 1 par out of those, and you are +6 for the round.
That was more for me thsn for you 😂😂😂
Sending a legion of viewers with average level of golf skill out there to hit 3 iron over and over again isn't going to be lowering any scores
Hitting a three iron is no different than hitting a pitching wedge
Using my 4 iron more than a driver sure has lowered my score. I do use the driver when it's wide open fairways. Otherwise, it's an iron. My up and down success rate has jumped up a bit too. God bless my chipper
