    Hello! I’m Liam the Peoples Golfer. I started this RUclips channel to improve your golf game and to bring golfers together in a community.
    My main focus is to create relatable and funny golf content while helping to improve the golf game of the average golfer! I also like to explore the Best Golf Courses around the world and Golf Courses Near Me!
    I want to help Lower Your Handicap by sharing Golf Tips that help to Fix Your Slice, Fix your Hook and hit Longer Golf Shots! My channel features PGA Pro Lessons on how to Strike Your Irons Better, How to hit Long Distance Irons, Approach Shots and how to Draw or Fade your Golf Shot to get it Closer To The Hole. The Golfing Legend OMP shares Expert Golf Advice on Course Management, Chipping Perfectly and getting More Spin without thinning or duffing the shot. Top Golf tips on Golf Club choice and Golf Shot type. I also share lessons on How to Putt Better and how to Improve Putting Accuracy.
    I like to keep my content Fun, Friendly and Informative. I will test Golf Clubs and Golf Training Aids that people are interested in and provide a real, honest and accurate review of their performance. For entertainment purposes I try out Golf Accessories and Golf Products and see if they can improve my performance or if they are in fact just a ‘Fad’.

If so, I can see my score going down!!!! SO Excited for this tip!!! Thanks Liam. Thanks Dave!!!

    Liam that was a great lesson from Dave he’s a star is lad but for future reference if you start to get that feeling again that your pulling or pushing again and overthinking. Just try this/ when you set up widen your stance significantly and I mean significantly not 3/4 inch but to the point you think it looks silly and take your normal swing. I think you will be supprised pal . Regards Andy

    Used to he able to hit my driver 280yards, then it went and never came back. At the same time struggled with my 3 wood and Low irons..but now I can hit both cleanly and confidently, but still have 0 confidence with my driver. Being a cack hander its basically see what works. Today play at Par 72 course Texas scramble with a +30 handicapper and together we both shot +6.. Every shot felt great and everything worked as we intended. Can guarantee I go next week and it's all over the place 😬 New motto.. it is what it is, concentrate on the positives and work with that

  • @25is27
    @25is27 3 года назад +2

    I am no expert but it looks to me as if you are not using your hips, too little central body rotation resulting in a swing that is mostly arms. This is why it is a bit weak. Think of an arm punching boxer rather than a mike Tyson knock out. head to toe power.

    This is going to sound strange Liam, seeing that you're a fun loving guy, but I have seen it before where you take golf a little to seriously. Golf will always be a game that comes and goes. There are to many small deviations in a golf swing to make the average golfer a consistently good golfer. As you like to say "nobody died". Take it when it's there and take it when it's not. That's the game.

      Yes but it’s chasing that sweet round where all aspects click. My theoretical best round on a par 35 nine hole course I play would be 33, but lowest I have actually scored is 42. The first hole I have yet to par, the others I have parred or birdied.
      With winter reducing game time looking to seriously work on aspects of my game especially the short game.

    There's a joke in here somewhere about a penal noodle, but this is a family channel, so I'll refrain.

    Top pro: tells you that you can play and spots the drill to get it back on track.
    If any high players are watching remember this drill might not be for you so see your pro to get one that works for you and Dave says it's about where you miss it so miss it where you can make an easy 5 not where you're going to struggle to make 6
