I just started watching your videos and I really like the way you explain things. It's really helped my mental part of the game already

I struggle heavy off the tee, but scrambling isn’t bad for me

Love the swing.

Best explanation I've seen

Do putt tempo next. Drop in the edge vs back of the cup speed changes break

Love these. The confidence part is so huge. Some days it’s ‘just send it’ and it all works out. I send it most days anyway so life is good. Haha

This is one of those videos that should be in the top 10 of must watch when starting golf.

Totally agree

open-face 64° Floparooni is the play here

Thats a fun concept

nice

Hey Darin! Do you edit videos by yourself, or have you hired someone? I offer high-quality edits, Let me know if you’re interested.

Yeah, I'm liking your content more and more as I watch it.

Yeah, NO.

Versus! Verse is in a song.

I could literally beat TW with those rules. But let’s not get it messed up, that’s the only way I’m winning 😅

I needed this tip before last weekend😂😂😂. There was hard clay, minimal sand under, sure enough dead right to the fringe😂😂😂

Better bring your hiking boots because you’ll be in the woods all day

This guy is what happens when DODKing uses a tee

I'm a 19 HC. I play horrible golf.

Your ball is going to live OB

How do you overcome the fear of swinging to the right is going to create a push / push slice?

quick question: no judgment, but what's the reasoning behind the unorthodox putting stance? Does it just feel more comfortable for you?

Yes easy.

I decided to move the tees up about 30 yards

If I can yeet my opponents ball backwards down the fair way into the rough once per hole, I could beat Bryson.

I would definitely be throwing your ball in the worst spots every hole. You would be lucky to make a bogey every hole.

10/10 im beating you with these rules. Only throwing your ball, it’s going into water hazard, OB, or throwing it as far as i can past the green once you’re on the dance floor.

Easily, throw your ball backwards down the cart path and make sure I bounce it into a penalty area.

Yes I could definitely beat you with a throw a hole.

No one uses vice balls

no fucking shit

Why do some people putt with an open stance like that?

Putting that

There's no way that second shot is staying out of the creek at Augusta.

330yd drive huh. 🤔

i used the 70% rule which maybe why i am still in the 70s not 60s...good summary on common sense...

That “birdie” woulda been a 7+ if the water was still in play bruh relax 😂

Hey love that course! Gotta love slo-cala 😂

Lol after hearing Tiger Woods best advise about learn golf, putting specifically, these videos make me smile

Oh, and one more thing.... Play your layup to a good number for you. Why lay up to 30 yards with a 3 wood if you suck from 30 yards? Wouldn't it be better to lay up to 100 yards if you hit those shots much better? Smart golf, people!

A couple of other things to mention that really help.... 1. Club up, especially for front flags. Too many people remember those rare times they flush one and think that's the distance they'll always hit that club. If you have a front flag, it's much better to flush one and be in the middle of the green than miss one like you do 90% of the time and short-side yourself, especially in a bunker or a pond. 2. Practice your chipping at least as much as you spend on your other clubs. The average 10 handicapper only hits about 6 greens in regulation per round (and most people are worse than 10 handicappers). That means you're likely to miss around 12 greens in regulation. If it takes you two chips just to get on the green (and most likely you're still 20' from the hole), you just cost yourself 2-3 shots PER HOLE. Practice chipping until you can get up and down at least 50% of the time. Then, even if you flub a chip or two, the second chip will likely be close enough for a one putt. Darin is absolutely right in this video. Use all your clubs. Chipping with a 9 iron when you have a 30 yard shot with plenty of green is FAR easier than chipping with a lob wedge because you're much more likely to mishit one when the club has to travel farther.

So many people don't realize how important playing smart is. For example, I'm a short hitter, and I had 210 to reach the flag on a hole just this afternoon. To reach, I would have to hit a VERY hard 3 wood; however, there are bunkers on both sides, and missing it outside of those bunkers means OB right and lost ball left. Either way, the likelihood of getting a par isn't great, but the likelihood of getting a double or worse is much greater. Instead, I hit an 8 iron, then a gap wedge to 15' and barely missed the par putt. I'm too mature to be ashamed about laying up on a par 4, and people need to realize that you might take some ribbing about it for a few minutes, but when you make bogey while your friends make double or worse, you get the last laugh.

Thanks for sharing Darin. I’m trying to get more consistent with my shots, so it’s nice to see a golfer like you still have kinks that you’re working out to get better. Appreciate the content!

True. Hitting the ball far with your clubs is a great feeling at the range when beginning out as a hobbyist golfer. Eventually, what should take priority when practicing at the range is consistency with your shot distance and swing mechanics

????? why did you have to use that sound?

Why kind of sunglasses?

Swing is pure but I can’t help but notice the extremely suspect putt on the last chip. That was like a 15 footer moved to a 4 footer 💀

Such a beautiful takeaway on the backswing😍 anyone you copied that from?
