8 Handicap vs. Scratch Golfer REMATCH [NORTHVIEW GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB - RIDGE COURSE]

[@chrishong7840]

Had the great privilege of playing with these gentlemen this day. Excellent golfers, but better yet, excellent people. Adam, you got a great channel going, keep it up!

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks, Chris! It was great to meet you and we all had a blast. Enjoy the rest of your time in Vancouver!

[@paulkoppenheffer5323]

Matches with Nash are outstanding. I find I play my best golf when paired with somebody who is better than me. Well done

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Me too! I always try to pick their brains to learn how they approach the game. Thanks for the kind words!

[@manifestyourlife7]

Nash with his easy swinging 300 yard drives and perfect bunker shots. 😳

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Right?! It's funny, I play with a handful of guys who are scratch or better and they all go about it in their own way. Nash never looks like he's taking a big rip at the ball but he's consistent and his distances - while not *the* longest - are pretty impressive.

[@hunterdennis4712]

Dude the hole previews are the shit Adam, keep up the amazing work. I enjoy every video more than the last

[@davekennedy8626]

The course has these on their site. Nice little bonus.

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks, Hunter! Like Dave said, the course made these available so they were easy to add :)

[@atxrich]

I love how you hold your finish after duffing your approach on 1. I totally do that on the range as if to say, “I meant to do that”.

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Lol I'm shocked nobody else commented on this. I did it on my terrible approach shot on 6, too :p

Nash should be playing from the tips, he is too good for any other tee box, damn he's good!

Can you do a shot tracer video... like a how to. I have a few apps, but it's tricky to get it right.

Hi Phil! I'd be happy to do that! In the interim, the shot tracer app I use is called Shot Tracer Pro. I've used the iOS version, Android version, and desktop version (on Mac OS). I settled on the desktop version, and there are some useful tutorial videos published by the app maker that are helpful.

Extra length well worth it for the flyovers and watching Nash’s sweet swing as well as Adam’s less sweet but still very effective swing👍 Anyone here still doubting Nash is +3 hcap? I think not💪

[@welcometoSL]

I'm torn on this format. I do enjoy the flyover, but I fear for longer videos. The 7-8 min vids are great. 10 was within reason. If they start going beyond that they just won't be as easy to consume. Also, I'd love even more content from you. You're probably my favorite golf channel currently. Have you considered Patreon or collaborating with other bigger channels to increase your reach and subscribers?

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks so much! A few people have echoed your sentiments so I ensured to edit the back 9 of our match (coming out tomorrow) down to 8 minutes. To be honest I'm pretty bad at promoting my channel and doing the things you've described. Something to look at, for sure! Thanks again for the feedback.

[@olanissen]

Like that I'm getting two players for the price of one, but be a bit careful that you don't overdo the "extras" - like the flyover etc. One of the reasons that I (at least) like your videos are that they are short enough to be easily consumed. Don't extend the length of the video, is basically what I am requesting 👍

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks for the feedback, Ola! A few others have said this and I ensured to edit the back 9 of our match (coming out tomorrow) down to the usual 8-minute format :)

[@anikac4616]

I’ve been watching you for a couple months and have really enjoyed your videos! I also loved hearing your shot conversation towards the end of the vid. Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of the flyovers as they really lengthen the video and i prefer shorter more concise editing

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks for the feedback! A few people have said this so I employed them much less frequently on the back 9 video coming out tomorrow.

[@cedoucrabe]

What a golf course !!!

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Yeah for a public track it's a great layout and it's always in great shape. Their green fees are a little silly (pushing $150 at peak season) but it's usually well worth it.

[@thenine3171]

That was a great chip on 9 very well done 👏

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks!

[@mitchellmiranda1]

Hey Adam, I recommend doing a drill where u have 8 balls surrounding a hole each at 3-4 feet and try to make all of them in a row, it really helps with those short ones.

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks, Mitchell. Yeah, it's become evident this year that my lag putts are solid but inside ~10 ft. I'm missing too many.

[@kianlawrie1542]

Hey Adam, just wondering what irons your using, lofts etc? Seems like you should be hitting it a lot farther and just curious if they might be weak lofted clubs?

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Hi Kian! Every now and again I take a lesson and I've learned that I "scoop" with my irons and add a ton of dynamic loft. My irons are Mizuno JPX 900 Forged, so not strong lofts but certainly not weak lofts either. In my case, I think it's the handyman and not the tools that are the problem :p

[@kianlawrie1542]

@@NotAScratchGolfer yeah I noticed that with your 5i and 6i, it looks like you hit it really high so that would make sense especially if they are standard lofted clubs. Have you tried stronger lofted clubs or are you just trying to dial in that swing 😜 Oh and thanks for the response, nice to see a KZbinr with a pretty good following interact with the comments 👌👍

[@deanfranklet9374]

[@theleeboys7401]

I want to see a video where you play 2 ball, one safe and one aggressive ball. I feel like if you played a little more aggressive you could drop a shot or two

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Interesting idea! I would bet that on balance my "conservative" golf leads to better scores, but on my best day playing aggressive I may indeed go lower. This is a great idea for a future video. Thanks!

[@ref0910]

How long do courses close in Vancouver over winter? And what does the average joe do to keep sharp on the golf front?

[@davekennedy8626]

Most courses do not close. We rarely get snow but sometimes courses have frost delays or temporary greens. The grass stays green so we put on a jacket and head out. A few years ago I golfed at least once a week all winter.

[@DreGolfs]

You can definitely play in the winter here, but after October official handicaps don't count anymore (usually until April).

[@davekennedy8626]

The Ridge course at Northview is tricky but kept in such great shape. The "tricky" bit can be overcome by playing with someone who knows their way around the course as some shots are blind or damned near it. I did NOT have that help when I played there early this season, so I will blame my poor score on that. Going for the green off the tee on 8 is silly but fun. Getting par by going around the horn is pretty easy but going for it is special - as long as you don't mind donating a ball to the water monsters.

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Haha great to hear your take. Indeed, there are a few holes at Northview where course knowledge is key. I played it quite a bit early during the pandemic which helped out during this round!

Thanks for the feedback, Ryen! Interestingly a lot of people have commented that they prefer the tight 8-minute format. I may try editing one like you said.
