3 steps to better golf

[@barbarafletcher9576]

Thanks for teaching us smart golf👏👍

[@markhaines805]

This stuff works. Keep the videos coming. 🎉

[@jeyjey5741]

I appreciate your transparency in these videos. Super simple concepts to understand

[@barbarafletcher9576]

Love the lake idea😂😂😂

[@PaulLlewellyn-e5r]

Hi Jimmy, I wanted to send some appreciation your way. Up until a couple of months ago I was a frustrated golfer with lots of swing thoughts and struggling to score below 95. The typical card was a mix of par’s right through to quadruple bogeys and probably even worse. Trying to whack driver on every hole and worrying about things like GIR numbers. I found your channel looking for break 90 videos and watched your one aiming to play every hole as a par 5. It completely changed my thought process on the course and rather than thinking about my swing, I was focussed on the course, playing to avoid the danger and where to miss in order to give me stress free shots. I never think about swing mechanics now. Just 3, 2, 1 and hit. My enjoyment for the game changed instantly and my scores dropped almost overnight. Up until a month ago I’d broken 90 once in the 5 years I’ve played golf, in the last month I’ve played 6 rounds and shot 87, 92, 87, 89, 86 and 85. My official WHS handicap is its lowest ever at 18.2. I really enjoy the videos and your style of teaching the game, the hot tubs, picturing the lake, waving at the camera, not looking up on putts. All massive tips at my level and ones I’ve probably heard versions of over the years but your style resonates with me, and most importantly I remember them in the moment, while out on the course. Thank you and keep up the great work. Assuming the merch can be sent to the UK, I’m looking forward to getting a Tropicana hat on and seeing how many other fans I bump into whilst playing.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Excellent comment. Thanks for watching and Im so happy its working for you

[@kcnielsen3735]

Jimmy...great vid, I got your message. Next round I am going to use just my 6 iron which is my 160 yard club my 9 iron 69 wedge and putter...should be fun

[@mikecampbell5178]

I second this comment. His videos have single-handedly taken me from 120 to 99, just by changing my mindset. I also find golf more enjoyable because I am not putting as much pressure on myself.

[@the_cardchasersportscards771]

Love watching you play real golf the good and bad - pars and bogey. No multiple takes. Thanks Jimmy

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Gotta keep it real. Golf happens. Thanks for watching

[@rm8281]

As a high-handicap golfer I have found that playing conservative will lower your scores quicker than anything else. I broke 90 for the first time in my life playing this way.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

You’re spot on. Thanks for watching.

[@danaandrews1637]

New to your channel Jimmy and all i can say is "WHY HAVENT I SEEN IT EARLIER?" Thank you for a simple no nonsense approach! Love it!

[@bassmasta9117]

I made my first birdie today after starting golf 1 year ago. I showed my brother the "swing the V" and he has been using it and we are getting better every time!

[@andrewtremblay262]

Jimmy .. I have learned golf course management again because of you. And since watching your videos I am shooting in the mid to low 80’s . I was shooting in the high 90’s. too. Again I plan out the hole on the tee!

[@jamesbrewster3511]

Thankyou for helping to humble my train of thought definitely our ego can get the best of us your mental approach is on point!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

You got it, James. Keep it on the grass and keep it going straight. It’s just Golf.

[@Joejpw9000]

Another great video. Thanks, Jimmy.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks for watching

[@donparker4775]

You are the best motivation Coach ever! Thank you for your lessons. I have a tournament this weekend and I will use the lesson!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hey Don. Thanks for watching

[@Newts65]

Dude! Your method has me playing some solid golf. In the last month and a half, I’ve been slaying my golf group. But for three miscues, last week I would have shot 78 or 79, something I haven’t done in twenty years. Smooooooth and wave to the camera. Keep it up and thanks!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Glad you are playing better. Keep it up and thanks for watching

[@danarcotta1283]

Jimmy, I received my 69 degree wedge. What an awesome club! One shot out of a trap, Always. 25 yards a way, take it back and through, watch it fly up in the air and flop down near the pin!

[@douglasphilippa5554]

You make me feel comfortable on the course! I was a crazy man and always hit into the woods!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Glad its working for you. Be smooth.

[@billgalante1181]

Thanks Jimmy, for another great video, your the best.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks for watching bill

[@alfabboud2666]

Simple things in life are often the best

[@junehitchcock170]

Thanks Jimmy for your helpful videos. When I get too frustrated on the course I revert to Jimmy!! Have introduced you yo all my fellow novice players. Swing the V is great. But how do I as a 5 ft 2 inch midget be expected to achieve 170 yds with a 7 iron?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Hit whatever goes 170!

[@andygosnell4050]

You helped me from your last episode about gripping down on the putter and not looking up on short birdie putts. Made a couple I would have missed by not doing your tip. Thanks

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Exactly. Listen, dont look when putting. Thanks for the comment

[@fgarguilo7998]

Awesome video

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

thanks for watching

[@thoashamel260]

Swing the V has been a game changer

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

its so good!!! thanks for watching. jimmy - www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@sixmile59]

Played this morning in 100° Texas summer. Hit 16 of 18 fairways. Need to work on my short game and putting. Shot a 96 shaved 10 strokes off my normal game with your method. Love your videos and instructions.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Wow. Great improvement. Thanks for watching

[@joelkinder5224]

Played a round yesterday and drove 2 balls ob. Shot a 41 (par here is 35 for 9). Subtract those 4 strokes for ob and I only would've been 2 over. Lesson learned, keep the ball in play.

[@thealgorithm9910]

I started playing in June 2024 and I adopted this style of play because of Tropicana Entertainment. I have seen a drastic improvement in my enjoyment and consistency. My only issue comes from all the questions I get during play, because I am hitting the ball well and in the fairway. I am asked why aren't you hitting your driver? Why aren't you using your fairway? That is the only irritating part.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Tell them you will tell them the secret after they pay you what they owe you for losing the round hahaha. Be smooth!

[@josephineherrera8508]

I always watch your videos. Great advice. A positive thing I noticed in this one: no sexist comments about near naked girls in a hot tub drinking beer. I would like to see you do a video with a woman. We shoot shorter in general. The average woman does not shoot 170 yards with a seven iron. So what strategies should women use to bring down our scores?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Just FYI its not sexist its a reminder to be relaxed in rolling the ball. You dont want to make a big splash. Women have the advantage of playing forward tees generally. The same strategy applies. Hit the fairway, leave to short of the green if you need to then chip and putt very well.

[@josephineherrera8508]

Today you spoke about that without talking about women in bikinis drinking beer. I understand your message. But could not understand why use such crass and sexist reference. I know you are trying to reach men. But women also watch your videos. I liked that you said there’s a hot tub full of people in today’s video.

[@jgaulorr]

Thank you Jimmy. You are a thousand percent correct. I have tripled every first hole this year because my drive is in the rough or trap. Then I press and make more bad shots 😮. I am convinced that I could hit a 7 iron off of every tee box and shoot an 88-90.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I love that. You should try it and see how it goes. I shot 75 with a 7i - 50degree - 69 degree and putter.

[@jgaulorr]

@@TropicanaEntertainment I'm playing tomorrow and will give it a try. Swing the V and putt it into the hot tub!

[@jgaulorr]

@@TropicanaEntertainment I shot a 90, 45 for each nine. I only teed off with a 6 or 7 iron all day. Played the middle of the fairway. I doubled the first 3 holes and found my swing after that. It could have been an 86 or better with some luck. And I had the lowest score of the group.

[@santiagorosario5155]

Any videos on how to practice? Or how you practice?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I take 50 “perfect” swings in my backyard every night. No ball, no tee. Just good swing that end in balance.

[@ronpagliaro3442]

Hi Jimmy, your videos are helpful, still hopeful that you will have a video playing with a high handicap golfer, mentoring that person along. Ron Pagliaro

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Its coming soon Ron.

[@jonathanr4571]

Maybe this is on a previous video, but do you mentally count down 3-2-1 when you play off camera? Just to keep yourself from overthinking a shot when you are over the ball?

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Always count down it relaxes me.

[@jrevrev958911]

What are your thoughts on same length clubs??

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I think its a great idea. Make them the same length as your fav club. Thanks for watching.

[@herbertlau4813]

Show us a fairway with lots of bunkers

[@atreyuwings]

My last round I shot 82 with a triple on the card. You don’t have to lay up this much you just need to know when it’s worth going for. And aim for pins when you are near even chipping

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

82 is a good score. I shot 74 last week with only 4 clubs. Learning how to keep the ball in play is the most important part of the game

[@atreyuwings]

@@TropicanaEntertainment for sure it’s the best thing on my list of things to avoid. No lost balls. No three putts and hopefully no triple or even double bogeys. My last round that 82 I just looked it over. I didn’t lose any ball but I did have 4 3 putts and as a result one triple and one double on the card. Overall it really shows me my putting is where I need to focus in

[@danarcotta1283]

Wide open par 5 Driver, 3 wood, 69 degree wedge, one putt birdie. Tight fairway, 3 wood, 5 iron ,2 putt par

[@robertmaltby7687]

Rough outing but all excellant information

[@atreyuwings]

Recommending a 69° wedge for short chips when you don’t have any obstacle will literally add strokes. Think of a club you can putt to the pin

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I can tell you dont have the 69 degree wedge.

[@atreyuwings]

@@TropicanaEntertainment you’d be correct. I wouldn’t even recommend a 60 unless you gotta pop up over something. Lots more control when you chip and run and not only will it have a chance more often but even when missing you will have a better read of how it will curve to make your putt. I definitely saw a few strokes gained when I learned this so I’m not at all confused about or even considering a steeper 69° wedge. I already know how to hit flops but the landing and rolling area is so small you will make many less and have less of a read on how it rolls for your follow up putt.

[@karisaisa]

Golfproos tries to play bogeyfree rounds. Im not pro, I try to play doublebogeyfree rounds. If I can do that, I have enjoyed the round, I dont have to think do I find my ball after teeshot. I try to play as you say, to get that position that I can putt for the par. Sometimes they go in 👍. I dont play against coursepar but against my own par. And I enjoy the game a lot more.

[@garyg2620]

I watch every episode and have really enjoyed my game using your teachings, but there's always a but, my distance are ridicules sly short and instead of putting for bogie it's usually double on average I hit all my clubs including driver very strait but driver is only average 125 and every other club is under 100 and I can't seem to

[@garyg2620]

Increase my distance I'm 72

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

@@garyg2620 what tees are you playing from?

[@garyg2620]

Forward tees

[@psychedelic-guitar-art]

Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and I'll hit a 7 iron off the T.

[@randalltanascu5821]

no one has a 69 love stick ? can u show technique with normal wedges like 54,56.58. u rock ⛳

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I only use the 69. I tried the other clubs for many years and couldnt do it.

[@robertmaltby7687]

Buy one, use one

[@geoffcohen613]

There is no such thing as PAR on a hole. The par of hole is what you want it to be, if want to play hole in 6. If you are trying to break 90 then 6 is a good score.

[@santiagorosario5155]

14:31

[@chriscrawford2197]

First one

[@danarcotta1283]

I surely wish I could have played a round with you when you were in Vegas. Google my name, maybe next time and it's on me.

[@MarkDavisCFM]

Bro, I love everything you described except that 69 degree wedge! That is a very technical club and the average golfer is likely to skull it or duff it! Use a less lofted wedge to get on the green!! A mistake with a bump and roll is far less damaging than a skulled shot that flies the green or a duff that goes 5 yards.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I can tell by this comment that you dont own the 69 degree wedge.

[@gerdamarsh]

I bought the 69 wedge. I haven’t practiced enough with it for the standard chip shots yet. But have found it to be very good out of bunkers and shots where I need a higher shot (over a bunker on the green). My friends have been impressed. I just need more confidence on the standard chip shots, although I’m already decent with a56 on those.

[@taib0]

Fabulous tuition Jimmy, you are absolutely right we are all trying to smash the shit out of it and end up in the trees or out of bounds. I am going to really try and take these tips out on the course and shoot lower scores, thank you🏌‍♀⛳

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Keep it on the short stuff :) thanks for watching
