- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- No golf course compares to the one you grew up on. Young PGA TOUR star Collin Morikawa takes us to his on this edition of Swing Thoughts, presented by TaylorMade Golf.
Now a PGA TOUR winning pro on Team TaylorMade, Morikawa shows us his roots at the Chevy Chase Country Club in Glendale, California, just north of downtown Los Angeles.
It’s the first time he’s played there in a few years. So while strolling the fairways, Collin’s also taking a stroll down memory lane.

This guy’s about to win a major!
Edit: He got it
Edit 2: Less than a year later, he’s done it again!
One of the nicest golfers I've seen
Alexander Palmer I this comment during the round and I edited it as soon as he won. I did not edit it a week later. Also, you are an Alex. You should not insult a fellow Alex.
@@Account-rw1rt rule no. 1: never insult a fellow Alex
Lord Rob yes. The rule was made by the council of Alex.
Alexander y the council of Alexes
You can tell morikawa just loves the game, he’s always smiling. Don’t see that too often on tour
4:47 old timer showing him the dominance with that handshake
rather have that then a limp dead handshake. just the worst when they dont grab your hand, just lay it there like a old dead fish. haha
There is about to be 100 “who is here after is win” lmao
100, Who is here after he won?
I was here before
You mean after the concession?
After the PGA, Concession or The Open? 💣💣💣
who is here after is win
What’s amazing to me is how well spoken and articulate he is, for someone who hasn’t been in the spotlight for very long. I have plenty of friends his age that are amazing guys off the camera, but put a camera around them and they freeze up. Colin will have a very good career not getting caught up in everything.
He’s just being himself all of the time
If I ever become good enough at golf, I wanna go back to my first course and see how I play and feel. Definitely something interesting to think about
The course I first ever played golf on closed and my first I was a member at closed too :(
I’m now a low handicap player and have regularly played the first course I learned on and lemme tell you it is sooo much easier and shorter than I remember it
pi314159pipipi the first hole I played 5 years ago is a 187-yard par 3, miraculously I made birdie hitting a 3H off the tee. I now play off 7 and hit a 7-iron, although I haven’t made birdie in a while... 😂
I used to get breakfast burritos from this place when we were in La Canada. But we didn't play Chevy Chase, we played Oakmont and La Canada, and my pro was at Annandale. Wish he had gone to SC like most of us, but we still can support a Berzerkeley Bear. Congrats on the Claret Jug Collin!!
Love that approach - no good or bad shots, just what did we learn from it.
He has easily become my favourite new golfer to watch!
No wonder he is so accurate off the tee. He learned early how to play tight courses.
You can tell both are good/humble guys who enjoy each others company. Wish this duo many more wins in the future.
It's hard to say anyone will be like Tiger, but Collin is already really, really good. If he continues to play this well he's a future HOF'er.
That course looks like an absolute blast to play. A shot makers paradise. So much going on that you can hone some serious skills to travel.
Literally 60 yards behind Cameron Champ and didnt let it faze him!
That leaderboard was chocked full of bombers and he didnt give af.
Go Collin!
Will Collin remember?
*10 seconds into the golf course*
Clearly, he does.
The first time I saw Colin play at Sage Valley in the junior invitational, I knew that he was a special player.
POV: you’re here cuz u love this dude after his win at Harding Park
"Rarely did we say it was 'a good shot or a bad shot', but rather,what did we learn from it"
That ladies and gents, is the difference. Never waste your experiences.
That’s what separates the elite from the rest of the pack. They don’t let their emotions get too high or too low, they learn from every shot and are only focused on the next hole/shot. That was my favorite clip of the video
@@askVin3SPENCER 100% brother.
La Cañada is sick! One of my favorite places in LA, quiet and nice. I was living and siding there when we won his first tournament on tour!
That’s pretty cool, seems like a good dude.
he sounds like Tiger WOods
sounds like tiger and has personality like tiger.
Much friendlier and warmer tho.
No, Colin M. doesn't sound like tiger. Colin is his own man. He is content playing golf, well grounded, social and he has a GF. Tiger was a recluse in his 20s/30s. Very awkward in public and not friendly at all. Tiger's early golf life was like marine bootcamp, there was only golf. Tiger was not well adjusted growing up. That's part of the reason for the numerous 'Transgressions' during his mid 30s. Collin Morikawa stands on his own without reference to TW.
M. Lymann people were a lot ruder to Tiger woods too. Old players hated him and a lot of people wanted to use him.
@@Joeblow1981 You are right. Golf has always been a game for the affluent white community and still is to this day. On this matter, TW has NOT used his fame to change this notion of exclusion of non-white in golf. You barely hear of TW Foundation. He has not done much to help African Americans or minorities in golf. For example, TW didn't address the racist and misogynistic policy of not admitting black golfers at the Augusta National GC until 1990 and not admitting female golfers until 2012. Up until the early 90s, 100% of caddies at Augusta were African Americans. Instead TW built a high wall to shield himself from reality. TW is narcissistic and selfish, maybe these are the traits needed to be a successful athlete.
Just watched Collin finish tied for 6th @11 under at the 2023 Genesis Invitational where he finished birdie, eagle, birdie on the last 3 holes. He's a great player and a cool, chill guy, with a beautiful wife, Katherine. They make a nice couple. Love to watch him play. 👍⛳🏆
Did that say his Coach since age 6??!!! Damn that's pretty crazy to have golf coach at that age
2020 PGA Champion!
This was my introduction to Collin, don't know what it was but I kept researching this guy and had a suspicion he was 'my guy'. Evidently ever since I've been putting £10 bets on him every time I see his name on that starters sheet!
Congrats Collin and thank you for being an absolutely stand up guy and a huge golf stud.
Did you win at Sandwich?
@@robertbutlin3708 Absolutely did, got him at 35/1
@@mistercal well done! Maybe that can finance a day at Royal St George’s!
How did he become so lucky with a great public short course so near,.class young man.Short course golf the way to go for beginning golf.
Graduations Collin on your PGA success.............and congratulations on the girl!
He's a handsome asian with money. The girl is not an achievement...
The best swing in the world don't mean a damn thing, if you don't have the confidence to go with it. This guy has it in spades.
Man I had the total opposite experience. Dad had a membership at a club when I was young. Grew up playing there. One day I got my license, first car and was able to go whenever I wanted. First day showed up, they wouldn't let me through the front gate. Didn't believe me who I was, gave em the member info and everything. Finally get through. Get to the course and go to put my bag on a cart. Sorry no one under 18 allowed. WTF? Im in high school, Im a scratch golfer, all I do is practice and play. Literally not a troublemaking kid at all. Finally we meet with the pro and member director, they wont budge on it. My dad resigns his membership on the spot. Tells em to get F'd that its ridiculous a perfectly good kid just wants to get better at golf can't come use the facility. I'd been going there for years, and the second I can go by myself they change the rules. I was so mad cuz all I wanted was a place to practice, I loved to practice like 3-4 hours a day until it got dark. Wish that never happened I loved that place
Dude just won the Open !!! Life is good
Morikawa and Hovland have the best attitudes towards the game
Coming here from the PGA Championship. Such a great dude, seems like the kindve guy that you could spark up a convo at anytime
He's so young. I think he's going all the way back to 2014 or something. I started playing at age 24 at Swope Park in Missouri (misery is also correct)...loved that course, and I don't think I ever broke 90 there. Haven't seen that course since that year that I lived in MO. It would be emotional for me, way back in 1988--if the course is still there. Many courses around me here in Ventura County have closed recently.
“Taught me to control my shots”. Well he took that lesson on board at Sandwich. And non-level fairways.
6:02 ayyyyyyy
Nothing better going back to where it starts. Awesome 👍
Reppin LA CANADA HIGH! Rick was a great coach for me
That burrito looks unreal.
ive been to that place a lot one burrito and youre full for the whole day
For 5 dollars
Morikawa swings it so so good
Doesn't have a caddy today...
3:25 Rangefinder flies in from nowhere.
also his home courses: la canada country club and brookside
redsharpiemarker he from Pasadena.?
@@Justicesdad la canada...local boy...I never played Chevy Chase Cc...and I live just down the street from it lol...
Congrats Colin
Alternative title, does Colin Morikawa show signs of early onset Alzheimer’s
They also didn't mention that this course did a revamp a couple years back
That coach is jacked sweet Jesus
Collin is next in line to get the Green Jacket.
Hope this guy gets a trophy at some point
Handled. He got the biggest one. The Wanamaker
Total dude - coolest guy in golf
Is that the host or his coach/friend? Maybe I should know this so sorry if stupid question. But his energy is so chill and brings the best out of Collin
Love this guy, butter irons
Wow love the share.
That’s my burrito spot too!
Almost fell asleep, he’s that laid back!😎
Dude is a beast playing with no crowds just like the Armenian Glendale cc love the weekends with this dudes story
Morikawa is my hero……
Dude...his girl can swing!!. Thats a relationship that hopefully lasts. Would love if my wife could swing like that.
Awesome young man. Thanks to my brother, Charles Thomas, for sharing with me! Nice to see Rick!
Lucky Boys is the best! 1 burrito is good for the whole day! :-)
that was a cool course!
He had a tough childhood. Growing up living up in the hills and country club is near by.
Go cry somewhere else douchebag
lucky boy is the 🐐🐐🐐
Bright future ahead for this kid! Calm, cool and collected.
I have two that I started out on. Both par 3s. One I am pissed if I don’t shoot par or better as a 9 hole and the other is a very difficult 18 hole 4 times the length. I’m lucky if I can shoot close to +10 lol
I wonder how often he played La Cañada CC, Brookside or Angeles National
Maybe even Oakmont!
came for the golf, stayed for the breakfast burrito
Lucky Boy! Best burgers ever.
Lucky Boy is one of the best breakfast burriotos in town!!!!!!!!!!
Yo Lucky Boy! A Pasadena staple.
I’m liking this kid....
Damn, he was only a couple month's old when Tiger smashed Agusta in 97.
He is so much like me
Collins right luckyboys is so damn good. me and my friends always went there in high school. if you guys are ever in Pasadena CA definitely go there
It’s bomb af but Pharo’s is better!
Daniel Gregson oh yeah Pharos is super good as well hard to choose which one for me 😂
Nickanator58 I live on Del Mar and Los Robles, Lucky Boys is right down the street, but I make the extra 6 minutes to Pharo’s cuz it’s ridiculously good and cheap. Burgers are fire and cheese fries 😳. Everything I’ve tried there is bomb my mom even loves it 😂
@@2ndAveScents damn i never saw this reply till now lol but yeah Pharos is so damn good i usually pick some stuff up for me and my family once a week. its basically a family tradition for us at this point.
@@Nickanator58 that’s what’s up brother! Best wishes to you and the fam, glad to see you’re still out there haha
1 black father away from being tiger
Jeffro Lans shut the fuck up
Jeffro Lans shhh stats hurt peoples feelings
hektaah Someone hit a nerve?
Huh? What does that mean exactly?
Earl Woods isn't the template for black fathers I hope. He was Tiger's role model for how to treat women as well. Colin is doing just fine. I hope he marries that beautiful girl & starts a family. The dude's future is so bright it is blinding.
First hole very tough.
Any know what jumper he is wearing, the adidas one?
Such a gangster Colin is
Good luck this week dude. You're in the lead...
Was this comment before his workday win?
Who's here when he won the pga?
No, after the Open.
the Canadian goose jacket screams I love him for who he is and definitely not his winnings!
I hate playing chevy chase, one of the hardest courses I have played to date
I feel this is a long plug for taylor made clubs
He's got a little Tiger Woods swag
i love this dude
best part of this vid is 6:02
Can anyone tell me what this sweater by adidas is called?
hola!!! la verdad amazing video me gusto deseo el nuevo video me retiro les dejo cariños gracias
tiger wood vibes af ... and i mean that in a good wat
I disagree. When tiger won it looked like it meant more to him. He's just doing his job.
Lucky boy bfast burrito fiiiiiiiiire
I played a couple of rounds there.
What watch is he wearing?
Of course everyone is going to get this recommended after he won a major and almost broke the trophy.
The top came off he didn't break it 😁
Nobody talking about how he pulled 3 bags out of a Tesla trunk
Never seen that hat before
Pretty sure the future #1 player has upgraded to a Plaid.
Hey I live near Lucky Boy
Wtf I live right next to that Lucky Boy
Is his girlfriend a pro golfer too? She’s got an AMAZING swing. Better than most players on the tour 😂
she played D1 at pepperdine
Maailman paskin tyyppi ja tunnettu golfari👍🏻
Who’s here after he shot 7 under
At the charity event?
What kind of shoes is he wearing
The shoes he wears on the putting green 6:28 are the Adidas 4D run 1.0 Parley
The shoes he wears for the majority of the video whilst playing are the Adidas code chaos golf shoes
I wonder if Taylor Made had anything to do with this video....
