[@KarlGolf]

Thank you Derick.

[@derickdupiesanie2112]

If you ever need a caddie lol

[@bl6369]

good job Dad! This was a fun watch. Thanks for sharing the journey with us all!

[@KarlGolf]

My pleasure.

[@davidfrost6910]

Good score & nice to see Karl doing well.

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks David. Karl wasn't his best, but it goes to show how much he's matured to still shoot 8-under for the tournament whilst leaving a stack out there.

[@PEPOenNY88]

Very Nice birdie Recovery after that 5 , Great Tourney Vlog guys , Keep it up , Love watching this kid Swing .

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks Pedro.

[@liamhack6]

Karl is a very big inspiration for me as a junior, I aspire to have his etiquette

[@KarlGolf]

Thank you Liam. Karl's not prefect all the time, but he's exemplary 99% of the time. Cheers.

Great to have papa villips on commentary

Great vid Karl

[@ellisjames282]

Any ideas or tips for increase your swing speed Love the kids Karl see ya on the tour soon

[@KarlGolf]

1. Work on your flexibility. 2. Strengthen your core muscle group 3. Practice hitting hard and fast whilst still retaining your balance. Cheers.

[@philsrock08]

I can’t wait to see this kid win a major some day...

[@funk44]

I haven't watched Karl for a few years. He's grown up very quickly. Does he still speak with an American accent?

[@Q.FL1]

This kid is really really good!

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks.

[@TheIEvon]

Such a great swing

[@Me37368]

Would you recommend trying to get a birdie after a bogie and quickly as you can or just wait

[@SofaKing880]

Hack To Scratch Golf Stop focusing on the result and focus more on the process. Remove the bogey from your mind and focus on hitting quality shots, one shot at a time.

[@georgepapageorgiou1390]

[@chrisbettencourt28]

Man his swing reminds me a lot like back when he was 13, out in front with a big swooping draw 😎

[@TheRuggedWay]

How old is Karl?

[@steventait3801]

Hi, was wondering if Karl has had any invites to play on any main tours as a amateur ? Thanks Steven

[@KarlGolf]

Yes, Karl's had a few, such as the Vic Open recently, but it didn't fit into his schedule. Karl is constricted by only having 35 absent school days per year. That's a big issue and is why he only plays 1 tournament per month when school is in session.

[@steventait3801]

@@KarlGolf Ah that makes sense 👍

[@nopehwow3371]

Are you able to display on the left what Karl's score is through the current hole, for example right above the hole number say "2 under"

[@KarlGolf]

We do. Just look at the Tee shot on each hole.

[@jacksongreen2683]

Hey Karl I've been stuck at a handicap of nine and I practice everyday but I can't get down. Any tips?

[@rileygarrett7371]

not carl here but do a game assessment play 18 holes and find out all your stats

[@christiansobczak6359]

Identify the worst part of your game and focus on it while maintaining other parts

[@jensljunggren266]

Well played Karl! Do you guys have any tips how to get better mentally?

[@KarlGolf]

Practice under pressure. Drills can include playing 2 balls in your practice round and counting the worst score on each hole. Cheers.

[@PEPOenNY88]

"oh , Whats wrong with that , From Karls Reaction it looks like it was the end of the World , If thats the end of the World buy me a ticket " LOL I would agree

[@KarlGolf]

My Bad, LOL.

[@ElvisPriscillaPresley]

Is there a vid on his grip?

[@KarlGolf]

Karl's grip is exactly the same as Tiger's. Always has been since he was 6 years old. Cheers.

[@poktangju]

luv this kid

[@bruce_szn1655]

These videos are awesome but they would be even better if Karl gavw his opinions and thoughts after the round. Just a suggestion. Keep up the hard work Karl.

[@KarlGolf]

We have done that in the past and do still do it after the final round of any tournaments I record. Cheers

[@MB-ne3qx]

He will be trouble when he learns to hit the one-yard fade

[@KarlGolf]

He's working on it.

[@rodstiffingtonxyz]

whats so great about that shot, isint there less spin on a 5 yard draw

[@maxranson]

@@rodstiffingtonxyz more control with a fade. Not all about distance when you hit it as far as Karl

[@petterdale7799]

4:10 coming home to daddy😩😂😂

That didn't come home to Daddy, it ran away from home. LOL.

Just waiting for Karl to dominate the PGA 😎

Hopefully Josh, hopefully.

[@frogz2267]

Hi mate what length is Karl’s putter

[@KarlGolf]

It's shorter than the typical counter balanced putter and is (I think) around 34".

[@jhanawa33]

what is karls pw distance

[@KarlGolf]

I'm guessing around 130'ish, as his SW goes 110, and GW 120.

[@overweightindian6863]

He’s a great player, is he set for a college in America?

[@shahryarhamza1415]

Yeah, Stanford.

We're big on providing Karl's supporters with all the links for every tournament, so every video we've ever uploaded (being 838 since August 2009 at last count), has the full details and links provided in the information section below the video which allows you to see what scores he shot, his position on the leaderboard, yardages and so on...

[@rileylewis7178]

"The cameraman was busy reading bible verses"👍 Are you guys Christian/Catholic? I admire his demeanor on the course. Awesome job!

[@KarlGolf]

That's my extremely dry Aussie wit. We tend to make light on most situations. Cheers.

[@flamingreaper1400]

why does karl decide to carry his bag when he could take a buggy and pull it around?

[@KarlGolf]

Because he's been Americanized. It defies logic.

[@joseortiz2881]

Karl makes me feel old ., he's not that kid anymore .. 😱

[@KarlGolf]

The universe is sharing your sadness, especially his Dad.

[@thecollectivetree80]

that 10th green is a monster hogs back!

[@KarlGolf]

The Course, and in particualrr the Greens and bunkers, were designed by non other than Alistair McKenzie, the same gentleman that designed Royal Melbourne, Augusta National and the likes. One of his famous students was Donald Ross, who designed Pinehurst #2's Greens in with dome tops as well, making it possible for only the most accurate shots to get near the flag.

[@thecollectivetree80]

@@KarlGolf I find the only way I can get it close is by playing a knock down with two bounces front of green

[@johnhue8933]

Paul, Check out this video and study what Rumford says about the feet and knees kzbin.info/www/bejne/lafNeoarrdKfa9U Karl has been adding a lot of lateral movemrnt in the knees in his chipping stroke giving an additional unwanted power sourse that is making touch calibration much more complicated , complex and difficult to gauge than need be. It is a 5 minute fix and you need to sort it out now because if you don't it will lead to the chipping yips.

[@KarlGolf]

Hi John. Already onto it for many months now and just today sent another lengthy email stateside about this exact issue. Like you say, when using the legs to drive the shot the feel disappears. Furthermore, should the leading edge catch the turf even remotely, there is no way of recovering from that point whereas there is if done correctly. Thankfully I have an enormous archive library where I am able to show the other end in the US that Karl has done it perfectly in the past, but somehow in these past 3-years whilst we've been living on opposite sides of the world, various people have dropped the ball. It's why I insist nowadays (since taking charge of the direction of Karl's game just shy of 12-months ago) on receiving weekly video examples of every part of Karl's game. The chipping is the final piece of the jigsaw as it saw Karl fail to get up & down 9 times in Adelaide, yet he still shot 8-under. The putting is back now that I got Karl to go back to the counter-balanced option which he used so successfully previously. His alignment was a mile open when he arrived into Australia for the Adelaide tournament last month but by the time he left, we had that back to where it should be. Likewise, the bunker technique had completely gone awry, but I was able to get that back on track during his visit here in October last year. Whilst under his previous coach, Karl shot rounds of 77, 80, 77 at Sage Valley's Junior Invitational. Karl asked me to take over the reins the day after that event and I got him back to shooting 71, 68, 67 just 3-weeks later by going back to the basics. Since then he's risen to the top spot on the Rolex and risen to 34 of the WAGR. Once the chipping is sorted out he'll go to another level.

Karl and most every player inside the top 50 of the Rolex Junior Rankings are supplied with equipment by the manufacturers. It's been that way since Old Tom Morris was a teenager. It both helps the juniors and builds brand loyalty. Cheers
