Great video. Golf Sidekick feel, but instead of breaking 80 or 90, it’s breaking scratch.

This is my favorite type of golf content. When a player talks through all their thoughts that go into each shot.

You were robbed on that chip!

Great stuff Josh - one of the key tips is knowing how far you hit each club - gapping sessions at the range makes a massive difference but I know so many golfers who don’t know their true yardages - keep up the great work!!

Great video, feeling your pain on that chip shot. Would love a putting video.

Tip 5: I find that every fringe has its own stimp, just like the green. This equates to a distance you want to hit the putt to get it through the fringe. So for a 20 foot putt that is 10' through a fringe and 10' on the green, if the fringe is 1/2 the stimp of the green, you would hit it like a 30 foot putt - 10' x2 for the fringe plus 10' on the green. Need to calibrate the fringe at the course on the day or get a good idea in the practice round the day before, but it's way better than guessing. Takes like 3 minutes in the pre-round to get a sense of fringe stimp, take a note and bring on the course.

When you missed that first green and said you wouldn’t miss another one, something said bet. I said I hoped you’d miss them all.

Great tips josh, I think another very important tip for amateurs, is when you pick your club for the approach shot, take an extra club,until they start hitting approach shots long, my buddy is always one club short on his approach, but he won't listen 😅

How do you remember to say “over THere” with a t-h, but “Free”, when you mean 3? Do you ever screw up and say Vat instead of THat? Or through instead of Frough?

@HoganZeros 7 days ago

I’m surprised you didn’t calculate sun angle, barometric pressure and humidity. Or parts per million of nitrogen in the atmosphere. Or Coriolis Effect. Get wiv i’.

@scottstorm7765 2 weeks ago (edited)

Scratch golfer shoots par or better 3/10 rounds, a +5 will do that 8/10 rounds in reasonable conditions

It’s so funny that you say here’s how I shoot under par every time you don’t do you because if you did you wouldn’t be a YouTube golfer. Come on mate please start living in the real world.
