Want to learn how to start lowering your handicap without spending more time practicing or going through a painful swing change

Excellent advice I've heard, at 20+ handicap, whatever you think you can hit at the range, subtract 10-15 yards on the course. As you lower your handicap, subtract less. Another good piece of advice, use the back green distance number, not the middle.

distance control, the most underrated skill of all

Kove the video guys. Super interesting. You motivated me to start my own channel.

would this strategy (hitting 80%) also affect the shaft flex to be used? for example, a 100 mph swing speed generally means a stiff flex and a 90 mph swing means using a regular flex shaft

I’m watching this video and looking in the background and said to myself, “this looks so much like the course I grew up playing, I’m getting some Cherry Island vibes!”

Is this indeed Cherry Island Golf Course in Eleverta, Sacramento, California

The easy swing is the best swing. Ego gets you hurt.

Keep in mind his Wedge is probably a 41 deg, which is the8 iron in old money.

Just a question for anyone here. I'm getting to know my distances accurately now off the fairway with my irons. But what I'm wondering is on average how much longer do you guys hit it off the tee on a par 3 in compared to a fairway into green shot?

[aceofdimonds]

Don't know how this works but at 23 years old my 5 iron is my 150 club and my next would be my 4 irom and my 5 wood to go for that distance, but I can't hit these clubs to save my life so I guess im never gonna get there huh

[EldredMerricks]

I think it really depend on the distance - you guys would not say that about a club for an 80 yard shot …because it’s not a long distance… 125 and below are money distances… dispersion should be covered by a blanket!! 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

150 6, 7, or 8… can even use a 5 if need be or a 9.

[ikigai]

But... but... what about my ego? I'd rather have my friends say _150 PW ooooh he so STRONG if I was gay I'd hook up with HIM because he'd be a good provider, _ than shoot low scores! Of course they'll see me come up short with the PW but for that half second there they were IMPRESSED.

Funny ….. not allowed to hit more than one ball at my course !!! In really trouble if you did that !!!
