[@igorgotmail]

Mr. Vilips, as a father myself of 2 sons, I would like congratulate you for the amazing job you are doing with Karl! Also the way you make these videos, top quality and commentary. Congratulations to Karl also ofcourse!

[@KarlGolf]

+Boom De La Boom Thank you. It's a labor of love. Cheers

[@bobhillfield3480]

"Have a nice trip Karl?" Love the father son slagging hahaha

[@KarlGolf]

+Bob Hillfield We're Aussies- that's what we do. Cheers

[@drew1036]

No need to thank us. You deserve every ounce of what you're getting out of all your hard work buddy. Cheers!

[@33115566]

Drives it like Sergio. Scrambles like Seve.

[@KarlGolf]

+J@D W Have no weakness- that's our motto. Cheers

[@gh4602]

Karl ... many congratulations on your 2nd AJGA victory. You certainly are an outstanding talent and it's always a pleasure watching you play such good golf.

[@KarlGolf]

+graham houldershaw Thank you Graham.

[@ProjectStiker44]

It is incredible the way he appears to compress the ball. With a shot like that you have many many birdies yet to come. Congratulations mate !!

[@KarlGolf]

+Cesar Suárez You can see the Launch Monitor stats at kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=jH5vyGmiIfs

[@timrobinson3562]

Karl, First, congratulations on your 2nd AJGA championship. ! I am continually amazed by your resilience and determination on the golf course. Paul - you have a second career as a golf commentator - you just haven't realized it yet. Great HD video, as always. I am honored to be a proud supporter of Karl's gold career. When Karl hits his driver my wife says, "What is THAT sound?" hehehe

[@KarlGolf]

+Tim Robinson Thanks Tim. I sometimes think that the big guy upstairs is watching after Karl, as we didn't plan to be here in Canada after US Border Officials denied us re-entry, which is why he competed here. Hopefully he'll also work out a way to get us back in, as we can't afford a migration lawyer and Karl may miss out on the prestigious Ping Invitational in 5 weeks time. Playing in that may actually get Karl a start in a PGA Tour event. Cheers

[@braydenharrison3952]

Thank you to Mr.Villips for brining all of this content you do a lot of hard work being videos on a daily basis appreciate it sir!

[@KarlGolf]

+Brayden Harrison Thank you too Brayden.

[@tiendo4]

Karl has always been the best 🙌🙌🙌

[@bichers]

Congrats Karl to the W! Keep it up guys, awesome to have the chance to follow your development, inspiration!

[@philkwon81]

Congrats, Karl! I know you just won your tournament, but I went out and shot a 97 today. So, we pretty much accomplished the same thing. :-) In all seriousness, so impressed with your course management, scrambling, and wedge play. Remarkable.

[@KarlGolf]

+Phil Kwon Thanks Phil.

[@jaydanoliver2750]

so proud of you man ! big congrats love the vids man and u remind me of my fav player Jason day bro your a sick player keep it up ! bright future ahead !!!

[@KarlGolf]

+Jaydan Oliver Thanks Jaydan.

[@funk44]

Karl seems to be driving on or further than the average tour pro. Impressive at 14 years of age

[@KarlGolf]

+funk44 He's certainly getting there. Karl was holding back on this course because it was only 6600 yards, but the Barclays measured just 6650 in yesterdays 3rd round. No wonder there were a pair of 63's recorded. Cheers

[@macsenlintz2883]

He has a very strong base and thats very important in your drive

[@rossaddison5342]

Absolute legend as always love watching these videos, can't wait to see the next competition.

[@KarlGolf]

+Ross Addison Thanks Ross

[@llewjones451]

For a 14 year old your absolutely amazing and well done on winning 2 events keep up the good work.

[@KarlGolf]

+llew jones Thanks Llew.

[@snoopboii11]

Good on you Karl, I have been watching your videos for a while now and me being a kid from Melbourne Australia, you have inspired me to play golf. Good luck in your future tournaments.

[@KarlGolf]

+snoopboii11 Thank you.

[@kolotoure5422]

Remember the name, Karl Vilips

[@codybailey1415]

Congrats man! I'm a huge fan and I work hard to become as good as you! Pleasure watching all of your videos and see how fellow juniors like you handle yourself:) my handicaps a 0.2 and just watching how to prepare and work helps me with my prep!

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks Cody, and all the best buddy.

[@nickgregoire9779]

Love the videos! You have great game with an even better head on your shoulders. Keep up the awesome work!

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks you Nick.

[@zackcameron7591]

I actually work at a golf course about an hour from Barrie, I clean golf carts, my family doesn't have the most money so the only way I could afford to play was to work at a golf course and play for free, I now get out 5 times a week and I am a 5.5 handicap, although Karl is a year younger than me he is still a huge inspiration! Great playing Karl keep it rolling

[@KarlGolf]

+Zack Cameron Know where you're coming from Dude. Check out this video of how Karl got his clubs before he was sponsored. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2OzYpmGZbeGe9U Cheers

[@wychan465]

Congratulations! Hope we get to view the full PING Invitational rounds too.

[@KarlGolf]

+Weng Yew Chan Probably not, as I have to go back to Australia for medical attention. You know, I'm old and things stop working properly. Cheers

[@DJKIDFUNK]

Great win Karl, Fantastic finish on the 18th. I remember the first competition i won as a Junior. I unfortunately was only 1 shot clear and bogeyed the 18th to go in to a playoff. However you done very well to keep your nerves in tact and closed the round in an awesome manner. Congratulations buddy.

[@KarlGolf]

+Them_Two Thank you. Yes, closing the deal comes with maturity, as Karl has won a few major tournaments after play-off's and lost one of them. He's dicovered that it's much better not to let it go to a play-off. Cheers

[@prorobo]

The kid is a star and a stud. Incredible stuff!

[@blakeg4815]

[@ryanstribling9016]

great golf karl. come to the uk

+ryan stribling You pay, we'll come. Cheers

[@albrueymelton1864]

massive drives Karl can't wait to see when your older and stronger👍

[@KarlGolf]

+Albruey Melton Driving isn't the only thing of course, but it sure helps in regards to the "Proximity to the hole" stats when your 2nd shot is closer to the Green. Cheers

[@mlg_scufman1237]

Great win Karl keep it up because u will get somewhere someday whether it be the masters or the PGA u will do great

[@KarlGolf]

+MLG_scufman 123 Hopefully.

[@zachdelaquis5207]

Great job karl keep up the good work!😃😃

[@brandonmorishita4048]

That last approach shot was an absolute dart.

[@KarlGolf]

+Brandon Morishita That's why Karl laid up to that yardage instead of going for the Green on his 2nd shot, as wedges are his bread & butter. Cheers

[@LiveShowVideos]

Good win Karl ! Keep it up bud

[@danielatkinson5978]

Well done karl!!

[@KarlGolf]

+Daniel Atkinson Thanks Daniel

[@KarlGolf]

Can never promise anything Bryce as Karl juggles school with tournaments, so doesn't have much spare time. Cheers

[@miniclan270]

Well done Karl

[@lewisbeer8922]

I was looking at you putter and I like it, any tips for using it?

[@cadetutrone868]

but can u show us an tutorial of who to spni the ball

[@CraigalFun]

WHAT A STORY - HE IS THE FUTURE - NO DOUBT!!!

[@KarlGolf]

+Craig Berry Thanks Craig. The story will only get more interesting with all the politics involved. Cheers

[@CraigalFun]

im not aware of the politics but keep believing is all i can say

[@jko8888]

Sorry if this question has been asked already, but when and how did Karl get so much power? He's only 14 and 5'8", and Karl's already hitting it over 300 yards! Can't wait to see how far he hits it when he's a full grown adult.

[@KarlGolf]

+jko8888 Karl's got that double hot action which Rory has. It can't be taught, but it stores an enormous amount of torque which is where it comes from. Here's a video I did on that a few years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYCchmVsmtdgars Obviously there is more to it such as equipment, technique and core strength. Cheers

[@anonymousc.4.3.13]

that ajga camo headcover looks badass

[@KarlGolf]

+Bobby Hurst Sure does. It's a Scotty.

[@Gabbehns]

Congratz!

[@johnhue8933]

Paul, All of Karl's game is good but 2 things really stand out in this round and a lot of this is down to you and what you have drilled into him. 1) Your emphasis on a really high standard of pitching. Karl's pitching looks his greatest strength to me. 2) Karl's ability to recover mentally from a bad shot and not get down on himself. A lot of players would crumble after the opening tee shot and compound the error but Karl just got on with it and hit a great pitch shot and then held the putt. I have noticed in past videos that you have really worked on these 2 areas and the results show. What areas are you working on improving?

[@KarlGolf]

+John Hue Hi John. Karl's short game had almost disappeared after 9 months at an academy in Hilton Head, so when I took charge of Karl's game again in March last year my first task was to resurrect that. Task completed. We then worked on taking big scores on just one hole completely out of his game. That took a while, but he has now gone 8 straight tournament rounds without worse than bogey on any hole. Task completed. Whilst at the academy he followed the lead of the spoiled little darlings and disrespected his equipment after a bad shot. I quickly got rid of that attitude, but was amazed that the academy coach seemed unconcerned about that behaviour in the first place. Task completed. Back in Australia Karl had a deadly bunker game. He dis not spend a single session on bunkers whilst at the academy, so I had to fix that. Task completed. We then worked on getting his swing back to the plane which he's historically had. The academy tried to flatten it out, so that took a few months to get back to where we wanted it. Task completed. Now? I'm actually pretty happy with most areas except for his fairway woods. With the Ping Invitational played off 7300 yards he's going to need those working well, so that's our focus these next 5 weeks ahead of that, as well, of course, to get our butts back into the US. Cheers

[@johnhue8933]

+Karl Vilips Paul , You said We then worked on taking big scores on just one hole completely out of his game. That took a while, but he has now gone 8 straight tournament rounds without worse than bogey on any hole. Task completed. Can you go into how you achieved that ? Was this mainly down to improved course management?

[@brandonredman6357]

well done karl, keep the aussie pride happening !! well done bud

[@KarlGolf]

+Brandon Redman Trying to, although Golf Australia seems to ignore Karl's achievements over here. Cheers

[@emilionoriega2730]

Hey you should do a video about your fitness routine

[@KarlGolf]

+Emilio Noriega There is none.

[@trevordaniels7751]

U should do a Q&A

[@peytonpatterson6530]

He's already made it to a tour event

[@lewisbeer8922]

I was thinking of getting the same putter as you, any tips for using it?

[@catxnc]

impressive young man - kudos to dad.

[@KarlGolf]

+John Hill Thank you John.

[@poktangju]

Luv this kid.

[@KarlGolf]

+poktangju So do I.

[@TyreeceTV]

love it

[@AussieMrJ]

Could you explain more about the "special comps" you're now eligible for and what that means for you as a young up and coming golfer?

[@KarlGolf]

+Wayne Johns The AJGA and other sources have t=extremely high ranking events where you can only get into if you're at the top of the Polo Rankings. Winning some of those can also result in getting starts into PGA Tour events, but either way, they are the events which are most sought after by the best of the best, The link to the list of AJGA Invitationals (there are other ones that are not AJGA too) is at www.ajga.org/Schedule/index.asp?year=2015#invitationals

[@Wizzy33]

Congrats again. Whats Karl's tournament schedule for the rest of the year?

[@KarlGolf]

+Chris O No idea because we were denied re-entry into the US. Cheers

[@wildcatfilms2089]

How does a 13-14 year old drive the ball 320 yards?

[@KarlGolf]

+WildcatFIlms Well, first they Tee the ball up, then they hit it, then it goes and goes and goes....

[@adamgubbins6009]

+Karl Vilips haha great reply

[@nathanosborn2059]

+Karl Vilips I've been laughing to myself at this for a good portion of time. Had to pause during Karl's speech! Cheers.

[@benplays3927]

When karl is on the pga tour you should be a commentator ;)

[@KarlGolf]

+BenPlays Ha ha, I doubt it. But thanks anyway.

[@dennisgeissler20]

I am curious...How much loft does Karl's putter have? The reason I ask is because he plays the ball quite far back with his putter.

[@shanejones8884]

Karl, when you're hitting wedge shots, like the one at 18, do you have a feeling your trying to achieve or metronome in your head? Your tempo on those shots is incredible. I personally have trouble with my tempo, because my transistion is all messed up, I'm working on pulling the club down instead of pushing it down.

[@KarlGolf]

+Shane Jones Thanks Shane. It takes a lot of practice to get the right swing for the exact yardage.

[@mollybrady7742]

im having trouble with my golf swing where i my drives start out straight but then they curve off to thr right how would i fix that

[@KarlGolf]

+Molly Brady Learn how to ht it straight.Check out The Golf Channel's Michael Breed at kzbin.info/door/BApZzVziKR3EA0yFGiMo7w

[@joelliljegren5883]

Hi! What's your sport jersey called? And well played, enjoyed to see you take this victory!

[@KarlGolf]

Cheers Ross.

[@ViktoriTech]

Wich tee box did Karl play when he was 11?

[@jvfball1]

When did karl start doing that rickie fowler type waggle?

[@KarlGolf]

+jvfball1 Ha ha, Karl's always doing something like that. It'll be something else next week. Cheers

[@aidenrobertson1169]

Hi Karl, I've been playing for a year now and I'm a 25 handicap any advice for getting it lower. Thanks. P.s-keep up the good work

[@KarlGolf]

+Aiden Robertson Easy, Practice with purpose. Do the putting and other drills we have on Karl's channel at kzbin.info/aero/PL1Vpeatb7tVncPj9trASBGMAB48FlgfvD

[@06aikens]

Cheers for the video, was a nice build up to this video! Question: Why didnt he hit 3 wood on 14,15? out ran the fairway both times?

[@ciarangallaghercg]

I couldn't comment for sure as I don't know what goes on in Karl's head but it sounds like he hit both of those drives further than usual. Looking at the 15th hole shape even just a slight draw on his drive would have left him perfectly set up even with the crusher he hit

[@KarlGolf]

+ciarangallaghercg Yes, it was the adrenalin. Cheers

[@06aikens]

ok fair enough! Cheers for the comment

[@Jjwalways70]

Paul keep him playing they way you have , don’t ever let anyone change his game , this is all from your persistence kudos to you ,, he will be a champion , keep him away from shit schools and on the path you have planned 👍

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks Joe, much appreciated. It's my job to run interference for Karl. The result is that there are some coaches out there who wanted to, (but whom I wouldn't let) change Karl's swing dynamics over the years that tell everyone who will listen that I'm a pain-in-the-butt, but at the end of the day if I allowed someone to make the wrong changes and ruin Karl's game, that'd be on me. Cheers.

[@chanselewis5059]

I can't find your old what's in the bag Karl

[@KarlGolf]

Are you referring to January 1 of this year? That's at kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=pPD7LCnvFQk. The previous one is archived. Cheers

[@tylerjones9195]

Karl Vilips how is that you go to saddlebrook prep but struggle financially??

[@taylormade060600]

Go Karl! I have some questions if you don't mind. 1. Does Karl even lift? (serious question and if so how much?) 2. We all know Karl is a brilliant putter for the most part, how does he align his putts? I have watched all his videos and he seems to stand behind the ball but i'm not sure if he lines the letters to his aiming spot. Or does he visually pick a target he wants the ball to go and naturally get the speed right? SO MANY QUESTIONS- but I want to learn from a champ. - Thanks Eric Oh and don't forget that celebratory meal lol!

[@KarlGolf]

+taylormade060600 No, Karl doesn't lift. I hurt my own back doing that at age 15 and it stayed with me for 10 years, so I've always made sure that Karl only ever does core strengthening such as planking, push-ups, etc. Nandos was good.

[@taylormade060600]

hehe i can see karl hitting 300 yds + off of nandos only. damn nandos is tasty.
