My name is Brian Fitzgerald - I'm an Australian full time golf coach living in Melbourne and coaching at two venues. The Morack Public GC in Vermont South and the Lang Lang GC in beautiful South Gippsland (An hour and a quarter from Melbourne) where there are lot's of Kangaroos.
FAQ:
How long have you been a golf coach? I qualified as a full member of the Australian PGA back in 1985. Wow I don't feel that old.
Why do you make videos for KZbin? That is a great question and one I get asked a lot. I love helping people play better golf and people tell me I have a very unique coaching style that is very simple to understand. We really should do things simpler. I just make them to help people and if people like my videos they can either come for a golf lesson in person or if that is not possible you could join my membership program and I can then view your golf swing or any part of your game and really help improve what you do.
Do you always change some ones golf swing? To be perfectly honest I try not to. If I do try to change some ones golf swing I have to have a pretty good reason for doing so and the client has to be fully engaged and committed to both regular coaching and practice in order to make that change. Most people say they will do both with good intentions but most fall away pretty quickly.
So my preference is to change things that will improve their score easily. There are so many different ways to do this.
What do you film with? - I have a few few different cameras I use. An old GoPro Hero 4, an iPhone 6 and iPhone X, A Sony ZV1 and an old Panasonic Handy cam (I'm using that less and less now). I record my sound on an old iPhone 4.
What do you edit with? - About a year ago I switched to Adobe Premiere - prior to that it was Pinnacle Studio
Do you make money off KZbin? - Yes.It took me over 100 videos to make my first total $100 off adsense and then another 50 videos to make my next $100. I think it will slowly change, but VERY slowly.
I really enjoy your videos, how can I support you? - Here's my ko-fi where you can buy me a coffee, beer or a burger should you wish (kind of like giving me a tip via : ko-fi.com/theg...
Thanks for watching!
Brian

This is very helpful. I struggle chipping and never even thought to try the same swing with a different club...I just change my swing and either undershoot or overshoot by a mile.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thanks @Terry Gilbert I am glad you enjoyed this video. I think it is one of those videos everyone could benefit from but they don't know it exists. Well done on finding it. One swing with many clubs is a easier than many swings with one club. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@1969bogdi]

Brian, I‘ve watched a lot of golf instructors available on KZbin but I must say, I think your videos/instructions are the best! I find them logical, easy to understand, very practical, and they just work, at least for me.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Wow, thanks. I just try to keep things as simple as I can. I coach mostly average everyday golfers. I make videos for my clients effectively. I don't coach any tour players and have no real desire to. I am glad you found one of my favorite videos. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@ronmiller9272]

Excellent video. Gary Player always said it was best to get a chip shot on the ground as quickly as you can and let it run to the hole.

[@fitzygolfpro]

What ever came out of Gary Players mouth is worth taking to heart. He is a very wise man. I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@patrickpurcell3671]

Brian think positive you are awesome and so talented! Don't sell yourself short or put yourself down. Superb chipping skills displayed on this video!

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thank you so much for your thoughts Patrick. It is so easy to use this method. I did have a good day when recording this but enjoyed every shot. I appreciate your praise. It sounds like you are on the right track. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@peterbrewer1822]

Thank you for this Chrystal clear lesson, Brian. Concerning your chipping technique, I notice your chest turns at the same pace as the club handle. Perfect. Golf is on again here in France. Vivement Mercredi.!

[@fitzygolfpro]

Hey peter great to hear from you. I’m glad golf is back open in France. I so wish I was coming over there this year. Maybe next year. Great observation with my chipping. It is but it is not something I have tried to achieve. It does happen but I don’t feel like it is. If that makes sense. It happens as a result of hand movement. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@glenfrazer753]

So good Fitzy. And if your lie is tight, trying to play lofted pitches is so fraught with danger, with a tiny margin of error, often leading to blading it. So good to watch those 5 irons of yours. Ball/turf scuff strike. I've tried sticking with a 9 iron around the green and while kind of consistent, I'm consistently....short... :( Seeing your 5s or 7s depending on the situation, even a 3s or 4s if required, excellent. Thanks so much.

[@fitzygolfpro]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Glen. Less loft makes it roll more. Hybrids work really well too. Brian

[@captainconcrete]

Yet again you nail it Brian, great drill and advice. I'll work on this one when the weather gets better, live in the upper Blue Mountains and at 1100meters and 50kl winds the fire and a beer are more conducive. Thanks for your wisdom. Once you Vic's get yourself sorted I'd like to touch base for some lessons if that can be arranged. Cheers.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Hi Anthony. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I have relatives living near you. I know it gets pretty chilly up there. You do cop it in winter and summer. The beer sounds good. Is there a local supplier you like. I’d love to be able to help you out. I think it will be sometime before we get back to anything approaching normal. We have a month of stage 4 to go and then we will probably go back to stage 3. No golf ranges open and golf in 2’s only. I look forward to Stage 2. If you need help you could always join my membership program. www.thegolfdoctor.com.au/plans/memberships/ Let me know how the chipping goes. Thanks for watching. Brian

[@230662steve]

Nice video Brian. Some people say get really good chipping with just one club. I prefer your method. I think getting it on the green quickly works best for me. Must be great being back on the course again!

[@fitzygolfpro]

Some people say that and implement the one club method. It does work for some people. I have tried it but in the end it was too inconsistent. It’s great seeing golfers back out again. As for me it’s a10 day wait for a tee time for me. I am sure it will die down a little soon. Thanks for watching.

[@davidleigh2573]

Yet more great information and tips. This one goes straight on the mood diary sheet!The little or no wrist break is a key thought. My Pro told me to visualise a martini glass ! She's spot on as your action shows, the arms and club shaft forming the glass and stem. Thanks and see you in about two and a half hours. Stay well and stay safe. David

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thank you David. I knew you would enjoy it. I love the martini glass analogy. See you in a few minutes. Brian

[@robdobbie9618]

An excellent video Brian, I will make sure I go out and practice the short game more.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thank you Rob I am so glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed making it. Working on that short game is one of the keys to lowering your score. Everyone knows it but not many live it... Thanks for watching. Brian

[@robdobbie9618]

@@fitzygolfpro Yes you are correct there mate, I went out to my Club this afternoon and took my 5, 6. 8, 9 & PW, practiced my approach from 140m,120, 100m and 40, used the 5 iron for the first time Chipping, with good success, also used my 6 iron for the 40m chips with good successes, and used it for 5 m chipping as well and that was a raging success, so thank you for alerting me to the fact that these clubs can be used for chipping as well, I was forever short using the PW and 7 iron for these shots and was long more often than not using the five, but at least I made the green which was a pleasant change, most of the shots were within 5 feet of the pin which I would get at least 80 percent of these, probably closer to 90 odd percent.so I think that I will pick up to 12 shots per 18 holes as it was often taking me 3 shots to make the green from 100m out which frustrated me no end, I have resolved to go out to the course once a week to practice the short game for an hour, PS I didn't take my driver and woods os hybrids, because I would have been tempted to play 9 holes instead of concentrating on my short game, I will let you know how I go in the Comp on Thursday

[@fitzygolfpro]

That is fantastic Rob. Well done you. Keep on this path and you will certainly be damaging your handicap. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it. Brian

great video fitzy i always use a 9 iron around the greens after seeing what can be done i will mix it up.

great tips im going to give try thanks Brian i normally lob and im definitely a below average golfer

My pleasure Jesse. Just get it rolling and let the green do the rest. Brian

[@oldmangolf4209]

Great video Brian. I find I go with 8 iron for longer shots and 52 degree if I have to clear something like a bunker with a chip and run.

[@fitzygolfpro]

Not a bad start. Have you tried throwing in a 5 iron or hybrid into the mix? Thanks for watching.

[@markpeterson3220]

Thank you

[@fitzygolfpro]

You're welcome Mark.

[@steveng8610]

Thank you very much for the instruction and understand totally but what happen when the ball location was further away from the green when the same standard stoke doesn't allow the ball to land on the green for the roll (example : if the ball landed on the rough, the rolling distance will be totally different. No? ) How do we play those stokes ?

[@fitzygolfpro]

I am glad you enjoyed it Steve. I'm not sure if you have seen them but my last few videos might be of help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2mUg6Vngc-Nm9k kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXbVnIR3e8lqebc kzbin.info/www/bejne/noTNdWV3rdN-bqM I have another coming out soon too which I am sure you will enjoy. Thanks for watching.

[@davidwalters313]

Great video Brian. Going on from your bunker lesson last week can you cover a plugged bunker shot and also an uphill and downhill lie in a bunker. The latter seems particularly difficult for me. Thanks All the best. David

[@fitzygolfpro]

Hi David. Thanks for your suggestions. I have links below to videos covering the first 2. I have down hill bunker shots on my list to film but I will have to wait for the golf course to quieten down. I can't get out to film at the moment. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHOkpoefobOJg8k (2019) kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6LJZoWmpZqLarc (2014) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn6naGSFitGGn6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGfUdamQpsp6adU I will make a more specific video on the up hill bunker shot as well. Thanks for watching Brian

[@davidwalters313]

fitzygolfpro Thanks very much Brian. Is your lockdown going to lift soon? Things seem to be getting a bit easier in the UK. It seemed to have gone on for ages but we can now play 2 balls. Best wishes. David

[@fitzygolfpro]

Our lockdown ended in Victoria last Wednesday David. We were the only state where golf was banned and when we returned last week it was straight back to groups of 4. The golf course and range is incredibly busy. It is great for the game but I am still worried about the lack of social distancing I am seeing everywhere. I have not ventured out to play yet. But I am coaching which is so good.. I hope things continue to get better and you get out on to the course soon. Brian

[@alanremeeus1620]

great video .... I am find that although I land 1-2 metres onto green, the ball checks and I get very little roll. Thoughts???

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thanks Alan. I am thinking two possibles or a combination of both. 1. You are using a club with too much loft for this shot. 2. Your hands are flicking through impact creating back spin. They should be fairly firm through the shot. We are trying to create the least amount of spin possible. 3. The combination of both. Let me know how it goes. Brian

[@mickeyonee]

Excellent video Brian. Glad you did not look like an idiot!

[@fitzygolfpro]

Thanks Tommy you are kind. I always try to keep it real so if I missed the shot it was going to stay in. I ma thrilled you liked it. I had fun making it. Thanks for watching. Brian
