5 KEY STRATEGY DECISIONS... EVERY GOLFER NEEDS TO GET RIGHT!!

[@jiml9062]

Waited 4.30 to see the 6 iron hit, what a copout. Great man Billy

[@BrandaneBKK]

He is a natural in from of the camera is Billy Foster - unparalleled experience, great delivery - clear and concise. And a fine dry wit. Very enjoyable and insightful.

[@whitneymacdonald4396]

That bit about reading the lie was gold for me. Thanks.

[@TrumpetJazzman]

Some absolute gems of wisdom in this video from Billy! Glad I watched to the end!

[@colinwhite2724]

Good stuff. Credit to you guys for not mentioning the rain.

[@frank63]

What an insightful course management lessons. Love the lessons Billy.

[@jaydrfish]

Beautiful display of how to think on the golf course. Thank you so much!

[@charliearnold4706]

Lovely video, so much common sense. A wealth of knowledge a caddie can have. More please.

[@josephedwards3356]

Very good advise. This instructor is one of the best!

[@loumitchells73]

What a great Video. I learned a lot on course management from this video and i lowered my score immedietly. Please do more Videos with Billy.

[@arthurford829]

More of these please! This was pure gold!

[@jamesklapetzky8633]

I really like the last part about greenfield shot selection and the fact that Billy said he brought up to keep the ball low? I myself use an 8 iron 95% of the time when I am near the green.

[@andythompson3777]

Good to hear from Billy with his vast experience. And to see my old course St Ives in such fine fettle. Thanks!

[@williag1970]

Great video, nice bit of banter too. Hope we have a new series of these coming soon?

[@Sreeve94]

“Only experience can tell you to read lies”. Love the sentiment to get out and play, but it’s not true. Thanks to this excellent video, I’m already learning / confirming a lot of stuff I’ve been thinking about. The best players have the best teachers, so it’s brilliant to see quality videos like this. Thanks! 👏

[@bigborecanada]

Excellent video! Great information to be had here!

[@peterguildford2133]

Great video. I always think caddies are the people to give advice on course management and not the pro's. Billy is a legend, I think he should start his own you tube channel.

[@LiberatedStockTrader]

Billy is an absolute legend, big fan.

[@jeffbehringer1262]

Congrats!

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Some great advice from an experienced caddie. Will keep the advice in mind when playing. Cheers.

[@brentmeister1072]

Well done!

[@joetroupe893]

Great session. Thanks⛳️

[@markdunn8038]

Great Advice, well explained.

[@vijaylohitsa620]

Very nice!

[@jwalkerC21]

Thanks

[@wayneallen223]

Great video, so good to hear from a legend

[@jiml9062]

#1 Caddie, great video

[@XB10001]

It's always great to hear from pro caddies, so much knowledge. Learned a couple of things about the grass types on different lies. 👍

[@simonwoodruff5235]

Billy is the bollocks, top dog! I'd LOVE to have a round or twenty with him learning from the course management MASTER and a skinful in the bar afterwards listening to his epic adventures over the last decades! As for Kit, listen more mate, as Billy was referring to Seve in the last bit of advice and you "Channeled your inner Rosey!" Duuuuuurrrrrr! Great content though from both of yous - fanxxxxx

[@interestedbystander196]

Billy did talk about Rosey with the plumb-bob, which is what Kit was doing. No problem there.

[@neilevans704]

Excellent video, Billy very good in front of the camera. Will definitely make me think more about my game. One question please; for the last video a short and long run using a PW. As a very high handicapper, would I be better using something like a 7 or 8 and doing a putting style stroke to bump ànd run it? Or even looked that smooth off the green a (safer) putt from there. Again thanks, an excellent video.

[@diogeneslantern18]

It's entirely situational for the optimum shot type, but for a very high handicapper you should just putt it from off the green. Honestly you should try pray a practice round where you experiment with shots. A good rule of thumb is that if you're short sided the safest play is always to putt it. Even if you use a putting stroke with an iron there is always a danger of too much roll out.

[@davidreid2301]

I just got back to playing golf this year after giving it up in 1990. When I got my first set of modern-day clubs I was completely confused by the lofts and the "hybrid". I ended up buying a lob wedge, a 54 and a gap wedge after learning about them and then gave up on all of that and bought a set of Ping Eye 2 BeCu coppers like the ones I admired as a junior in the '80s, I then ended up buying an upgraded set of Ping Eye 2+ ones that have the most amazing wedges and 9 iron/copper. I might as well sell the 60, 54 and 50 because they're pretty useless! I can only see that all of the loft changes in clubs are so that club manufacturers can make more money. You really don't need them if you have old-school irons!

[@WillertMorris]

Brilliant

[@petermcgill1315]

Always take the distance to the back of the green... and then add a little more. I might strike 4 or 5 out of the middle in a round. Those few that do find the middle will be close or pin high or long. The miss hits still might get close.

[@geoffcohen613]

I come up short on 195 y =180m as cannot hit my 5w that far, so what can we do when distance is greater than we can hit.

[@zazhou]

Take a club that will leave you as short of any hazards in front of the green for a simple chip and putt.

[@eh6138]

2:52-3:30 is some of the best advice I've heard. Amateurs take note.

[@davidhamilton2093]

You lost me at 180 for a 7 iron.

[@jadesmith6823]

Even better when you transverse to the next scene and the title is "recovery" 😂🤣🙏🙌

[@joshuaking1194]

Great advice. I'll bear it all in mind before I shank it into the trees 🤪

[@michaelwhite8778]

Which motocaddy trolley is that? Is it the m-tech or the m5 gps?

[@boc413]

M5 GPS

[@Lowcountrygolfaddict]

“That’s an Exocet!” 🤣

[@nickarmstrong6080]

I have a problem with the common suggestion to punch out sideways from the trees rather than trying the high draw. The punch sideways with a low draw requires a skill set as much as the high draw does. Perhaps the skill set for the low punch draw is easier to acquire, but if you don’t have that skill set you don’t have ithat skill set and your chance of success is no better. The risk is the same but the reward is less. Good golfers make the same mistake with club selection. “Hit an iron because it is easier than a driver.” Yes, if you can hit an iron well then it is easier to control. But if there is a 50% chance you will chunk either club than the driver is the better option.

[@Weshopwizard]

7:30. Now that’s funny.

[@annefilippobertozzi7601]

Judging lies in the rough is the most difficult thing to do, for me.

[@jadesmith6823]

Lol 😂 When you have GPS but your consistency turns Billy's advice into a wank. Tell me I'm wrong. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@Ralph7029]

Did anyone see the squirrel?

[@bobj2447]

Disagree long is always worse than short, lost balls impossible lies but short is easy chip and run.

[@golfprocory]

It’s not easy when your in the water hazard they were talking about.

[@petermcgill1315]

Nearly always tougher. Always play the hole, but the few times I do go long, I find it’s worth dialling in for the back of the green 90% of the time.

[@SteveHuckle]

Cold, grey and wet = shorts, obvs

[@harryleake5287]

You want great instruction; listen to winning caddies.

[@MartinMacGill]

Amazing how it all boils down to common sense and playing the shots you’re most likely to pull off…

[@charlesmarshall1309]

…and then pulling them off. Strategy’s a lot easier if you can reliably hit it within five yards of where you’re aiming.

[@lukitamil9576]

jajaja de repente está lloviendo y ellos como... acá no pasa nada... XD

[@jaautre7482]

The man says to hit a low shot, under the trees through the gap. You hit a high bomber and say you should have just punched out sideways. 🤦‍♂️

[@paulpeterson6894]

why the obnoxious background music?

[@bannnnner]

What an 'odd couple' Billy and Fitzpatrick make. Northern 'no BS' bloke vs number crunching stat head

[@eteet]

I'm a high handicapper and those comments were outside my skill level. That guy put me to sleep in about 2 minutes.

[@stevenallen6606]

Watch it again and take onboard what he's saying. Your handicap will come down.

[@KevinSheedy10]

Questionable maths, 3000 pro ams in 40 years would be 75 a year.
