Loved this series Shawn!! so fun to watch and educational. We would love to see more!!!
Thank you for the feedback Dexter! Will comply soon! 😀👍
How far in front of ball is best for an intermediate point? I love the driver blur task, makes perfect sense
A foot max! 6 inches is better!
I get a lot out of these vlogs Shawn, thanks. A question about the par 5s. They are my nemesis right now. I am usually a good long iron player, but I just always try too hard when attempting to get on in 2. I’ve had better scores laying up to a wedge yardage I’m comfortable with. But then I feel pretty bummed out for not trying. I’ll usually have about 240y in or something like that. What’s the best here? Do you always go for it no matter what, and take your chances? I’m off 9 now and feel that I need to make more of the par 5s to progress.
Great question! Now, if you feel you need to flush it to get there on that second shot, you are setting yourself up to STRAIN. You must feel that you have plenty of club to get there if you just LaDeeDa it in the direction you want to send it. If you say, let’s try to get out there as far as possible and see if we get there, you are already straining mentally and this will have an effect on the timing of the swing and the kinetic chain will sputter…. GET THERE WITH EASE, both mental and physical! 👍👊👌😎
Really enjoyed this series. A variant of this would be to have you coach someone in the 18-25 handicap range through 3 holes to see what questions you would ask them and how they approach a shot/hole. (or maybe for for 25+?)
Glad you are enjoying it! What do you think would be different for the 18-25 HDCP?
The concluding remarks in this video were quite helpful. It got me think because my sense is a higher handicap with a lesser skill set has to approach a hole different so they can have less stress about their shot and task. (Even the comment above was a gold nugget…about gauging if you go for it…if you feel like it is on the edge then it opens you up to the possibility of strain. Makes a lot of sense.)
For example, how do you break apart a hole if you can’t hit a 220 4 iron? (I think that was in the 2nd video!) A higher handicap has to account for a wider spray angle, more obstacles that get in the way for their shot shape (maybe they only have 1 shot shape that day?), maybe look for the best place to favor in case of a miss. (how do you pick that?) Resetting themselves after a bad miss. I know it is a long list.
What I appreciated most was how you explain your process and how you are approaching a hole. Can’t remember which one it was but you mentioned some obstacles you were trying to avoid so you picked a club that would make that possible. It was now a low stress shot for you.
The short of it is, as you go through a hole, you know answers because you know the better/important questions to ask. It would be helpful to see what questions you ask a lesser skilled/experienced golfer about their approach to a hole once they explain what they are thinking in their approach. We could learn from what you ask them regarding their approach given their skill set. My guess is there are things they are not paying attention to that are important for them with their skill set to have a better round.
I guess this is getting toward the mental approach of golf and more tactical but does that make sense?
Would a round of with a 220 driver, 200 3 wood, 190 5 wood, 180 3 iron or 7 wood, 170 4 hybrid, 160 5 iron, 150 6 iron, 140 7 iron, 130 8 iron, 120 9 iron, 110 PW, 100 gap wedge 90 sand wedge and 80 Lob wedge from the white tees work?
It would.
As an aside really enjoying the Jammie Lett videos on Youtube. Sometimes hearing the same thing applied then explained in a slightly different way by someone else who understands, just locks in the concept. Good find!
A great find in deed! Love the new addition to our teaching faculty!
