Every Shot Round 2 | Jamega Tour | Royal Ascot Golf Club

[@jaammeesss377]

great content again mate, will you be doing a breakdown of costs of playing jamega for the year?

[@gingerjoeracing]

its basically £300 for tour entry and then each event is bout £200...i played on jamega myself for a few years and you have your accomodation and travel t0 cover also.. a fantastic tour to play on with some seriously good golfers. Jamega tour not to be under estimated thats for sure

[@petteremberson]

Best thing is the words from you.....'you're learning'. keep it going James. Lots of positive vibes from all the comments below, great to see/read. Think we all want to see you do well and enjoy the journey.

[@bluejunelee6987]

I am your fan who is following you in the Instagram. I stay in Korea far from England. I am studying your swing one by one watching your round. I think your swing is really simple and perfect. Hope to get beautiful swing such like yours.

[@rodgalilee7946]

Fantastic insight into the grind. You are brave putting this up there, but it is brutally honest. The swing looks a lot smoother. Keep going. Thanks

[@willellis1253]

Great to hear you say OB left on 16 and u trusting your fade and not bailing out !!!! Defo good things to come James!!!

[@davidrose2063]

Enjoying watching your progress James. Many of those lies making it hard for you.

[@davewestner]

GG man. Liking what I'm seeing in your game and body language and what I'm hearing you say.....all pointing in the right direction for sure. Have fun out there!

[@HistoricalChristian]

I am a member here and it’s great watching this from a different perspective

[@joshuamoon1430]

Keep it going James. Way to be patient on your journey.

[@nevillehubbard7347]

That all looked much "tighter" than yesterday's round. Well done! Good progress and validation of what you are learning from Ryan.

[@philwilkes743]

It's getting better! A chilled approach like when you were in SA with Steve Surry might be the only thing to add.

[@nilesgregory6725]

As someone who was a +2 coming out of college and went a different route I have to say “keep grinding!!” I gave up, you have the opportunity to keep pushing. Keep learning, chin up, give yourself no putts....you’re on your wayb

[@paulgardner9814]

Best i've seen so far a few inside swings but loads where bang on point.

[@jackospec]

Keep it up James, you need all these rounds to get to where your going.

[@jeffdavis3713]

Solid round James! Good to see

[@LukeM1808]

Thoroughly enjoying these videos mate, great stuff

[@jamiewilkins7363]

Loving this mate.

[@TheReadies73]

Mate just watched the 2nd round and the swing looks so much better when you play that little fleetwood three quarter swing love the tempo as well mate 👏👏👏 Keep going mate absolutely love the content you are putting out and slowly you will piece it all together mate 🙏👏👏

[@GolfWithCK]

Trust the process pal. Keep that positivity up 👍👊

[@seanmcalister3997]

I came across your videos when searching for Heythrop reviews and I’ve been hooked since. Loving the content and the journey you’re on. Keep it up mate! 👊🏻

[@edrycroft8523]

When you keep that "Fleetwood" finish the swing looks great mate, good stuff.

[@mabs_golf1737]

Lots of good swings mate, looked solid on back, golf is a cruel game but keep plugging away. Great content

[@sanfrancity100]

Great score JW, Ryan on the round is obvs comforting for overall progress. Keep grinding boy.

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

We sometimes forget how critical the short game is. Great mindset on your behalf, its a slow process getting everything to click.

[@kopite998]

Swing tempo on hole 17 was perfect 👌🏻 getting there!

[@stueybennett6488]

Love all the comments on your swing lol 😂 from Dave playing off 23 haha .... keep grinding James, love the insight into what it’s like playing on these tours 👍🏼

Great positive vid, definitely going in the fight direction 👍

great to watch james, release looking solid, keep plugging mate, it will come soon.

[@samyueru612]

Just needs too start hitting greens in regulation because he struggles with distance control

[@TheMidnightGolfer]

Great going to watch this now . Been waiting for this 👍👍👍👊👊👊

[@morgancross5481]

A couple of those iron shots looked much better. More neutral and manageable.That anti-left driver approach seem to really be working too, keep it up!

[@michaellabram5980]

Great content.. Love to see Ryan play sometime... Awesome talant... All best. 👍

[@colliscole]

Just here for the king shark essay ngl Fire content bro 🔥 👊

[@aidenswallow3742]

A better round James, keep it going 👍

[@lilleya]

Good luck james, halfway back position Is way to inside if you want to play a cut consistently.

[@geocleary4812]

Great content!!!

[@johnjacobson2010]

You do have the best caddy ever !!

[@andyb3320]

What a massive improvement in your long game over the past few weeks, love to see it. If you can get the 50-125 shots dialed in you’ll be shooting some incredible scores

[@mylesd6099]

@Fred Tucker bit harsh. It’s not like he’s in the trees every hole. It’s little things here n there that are costing him shots. Wrong club selection and over thinking too many shots. Trying to play too many knock downs and shaped shots. Should just stick to a stock ball flight and go from there. Tournament play is the worst for working on something in your swing as well, that’s what practise is for.

[@andyb3320]

@Fred Tucker bet you’ve never broken 70

[@mylesd6099]

@Fred Tucker I wouldn’t say so. I’ve played at that level and higher, the difference between shooting 5 over and a couple under isn’t much over 18 holes of golf. You just seem bitter to me.

[@mylesd6099]

@Fred Tucker 😂 ok mate, you keep on hating from behind your computer screen.

[@mylesd6099]

@Fred Tucker you said I’m clueless for saying the difference in 5 over to a couple under isn’t huge. 7 shots over a round is not a lot when you’re missing short putts and greens from 100 yards or so and not getting up and down. That part of the game can be sorted easily it’s just about putting it together on the course. It’s not like he’s shooting 95 and I’m saying it could of been around level par.

[@thomaswhitcombe7236]

Unlucky with the round James, I use 2 things to help me on the course, motocaddy app to get any hazard yardages to avoid and a bushnell. Both things combine save me at least 2 shots a round cause I end up changing club from what I would use. The app I find better than the bushnell, keeps me away from danger, might be worth a download 👍⛳️

[@westridgerunner1150]

Good luck to u man. Love ur videos. Keep it up.

[@7merrick]

Swing looking very tidy there. Keep grinding 👌🏾

[@Contang0]

Great stuff as usual James, I'm still here watching each vid.. just random suggestion, have you thought about trying to maintain a bit more tension in the hips on the backswing? just keeping them square for as long as possible, increasing the angle difference between hip turn and shoulders.. would help reduce the inside move, improve stability and give them a head start to clear on way down, which would reduce that move where you have to use your hands.. should work well with the fade philosophy. anyway, really enjoying these ! good to see Ryan on the bag.

[@iiZAPPx]

There will come a time where you will just be playing. And right now I feel for you. We ALL get in funks like this.

[@sambolooney]

Swing looking great mate, great things to come clearly

[@palmsy4889]

If Proximity to hole gets better there’s some real low ones coming. All the wedge shots seem to go right?

[@johnreid1502]

Buzzin for these vids 👌 great being able to follow ur journey 🦍

[@davidbradley3377]

James there is site on utube called golf sidekick where the guy who does it is always in thailand where he plays with various pros one who he has played with lately is called Mo ,get on this and watch Mo it will be the best lesson you will ever have.

[@stugtodd2778]

Seemed to be having a lot of head and body sway/dip on the back swing. And perhaps a late wrist break at the top of the back swing.

[@savaged]

This is great content!

I LOVE THIS CONTENT

Great content enjoying mate .

[@valderja]

Really enjoying these playing videos. Ascot is only up the road from me and I've never played it. Worth a visit?

[@carlthompson4892]

Good round of golf just need to hit it closer on approach shots to take advantage... keep at it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@wayneallin]

I am enjoying these vlogs James. BTW every single good shot was where you seemed relaxed bud. All your bad shots looked forced.

[@mitch123456789]

Fairways and greens 👍👊

[@joakimfredriksson3889]

Ty for the video James, always enjoyable content 👍Is it due to the wind you are cutting off your finish on the irons shot?

[@_BLacKWaTeR_]

I also want to say... I love how you arnt getting TOO bothered by scores. You are working on swing changes in a competition setting. Keep it up and the scores will come

[@_BLacKWaTeR_]

@@trenton5745 I think he knows that. I was trying to be positive and supportive. You should try it some time.😘

[@tomashehir]

Other than the 50-125 yd shots you played really well I thought 👌

[@longdongsilver1255]

Is lingfield still on the jamega tour?

[@michaelgane4378]

When you said you couldn't turn over your driver now, was that because you've set it up for a fade or the change in swing mate?

[@snoop35L]

Great content, I think you should forget the shot shaping though !!

[@peterrshaww7256]

5:35 is such a decent swing 🙏

[@_BLacKWaTeR_]

Keep it up bro.. just from a viewer POV it looks like you’re taking it too inside right from the start of the take away, instead of more straight back. Tough to commit to a fade like that. It might feel like your taking it outside ( but it will be straight back) but as we all no feel isn’t real. Hope that makes sense haha. Keep grinding man cheers

[@TJ-ss1up]

Thought the exact same thing, fanning it open inside.

[@daveb5211]

How do you get to play the jamega tour?

Sign up and pay your membership after getting pro status and you’re good to go.

[@lancetaylor6647]

Getting better mate. Are you losing any yards with you holding of your finirh. Is it like your trying to play punch shots. Like paul azinger lol

[@manifestyourlife6]

lol dudes wouldn't dream of standing on the green if I was pitching towards it. 😍

[@rosscasey8900]

James, u r a great ball striker just try to hit it straight. Jimmy Bullard said he played with Francesco molinari and he is just a straight ball flight player and look where he got. U seem to try to do too much( high this, low this, draw this) if I had your talent I would not keep trying different shot shapes 🤷‍♂️

[@liam9020]

Totally agree, play one repeatable shape. Decade golf

[@rowdyroddy519]

agree 100%. Play your stock, straight shot as much as possible. By straight I mean, it goes out straight to the apex, and falls left or right a yard or two....and then let the wind do it's thing. I am a +4 player, and rarely am I trying to work a ball or try to knock it down. I also play in 20 - 25 mph winds every day. ..and I take pride in the fact, 90% of the time I am pin high. I attribute that to keeping things simple for calculating what club to play. The stock straight shot is the simplest and most reliable shot to play, 90% of the time. I know what the wind will do to the ball much better than any kind of fancy shaped shot that has more variables, and lower % chance of success, and less practice time, as your stock shot. Most of the time a fancy shot doesn't come off right, and you just end up in trouble. Oh yeah.. that spot aiming with putting... that also works with all your other shots as well. ;) So, try and play whole rounds with the boring, stock, straight shot, and no fancy stuff. Boring...good. :) Fancy... bad :( cheers.

[@John_Wood_]

Someone asked both Tyrrell Hatton and Shane Lowry a question on shot shape. They both looked dumbfounded and said something along the lines of "I just look to my target and hit it there".

[@gingerjoeracing]

i dont think you quite understand the difficulty of hitting a straight shot haha

[@rowdyroddy519]

@@gingerjoeracing It's not as difficult as you think.... just a matter of practicing. ...and hitting a draw or fade that moves 10 or 15 yards consistently, is just as difficult. It's pretty common to over curve, or under curve those shots, and end up in more trouble than a straighter ball flight would. ..even more so when you add wind into it. Again..it's just a matter of practicing to hit the ball straight.

[@cobweb1989]

With closer wedge shots and that putting you will start making birdies!

[@Cohen177]

Wow this round hurt my eyes

[@bwstokie]

Seems like you’re gravitating back to loads of swing thoughts and making shots again. Didn’t Steve Surrey say to see what shot shape turns up on the day and play with that?? I’ve heard loads of pros on the tv say that including Tiger? Great content though fella 👍🏻

[@Kricket1025]

Love the content and I'm sure you get alot of people telling you what you are doing wrong...lol but from an outsider that plays golf you are looking really mechanical especially with your irons and pitch shots. Nothing seems like just a natural movement to me.

[@garykearney889]

Good stuff you look like your trying to guide the ball at each shot instead of swinging fast and more free

[@longbeang]

I'd be curious to hear what Ryan would have to say about the round. A little banter might even draw in new audiences. I'd trust the man on the bag's word on the game more than the player's lol.

[@noahloncar7693]

Really enjoy these kind of videos, especially when you make them 12-15 mins rather than 25, purely because get you watch more of them in less time 😂 decent content and great game keep it up! Q from me, where do you want to be in 5 years or what are you short term goals?

[@frikafresh99]

0:56 that bloke 100% said “That’s one way to make Par”. I bet all my money.

[@MrShameless90]

Let's be honest, 5 over is a great score. If a few more of those puts dropped you'd be flying

[@garycottiga4664]

I remember when you sent some time with steve and he said to STOP trying to play loads of different shots!! draws fades stingers!!! just have a stock shot and simplify your game??????

[@nickehret2460]

Yes three putting, but I do think if you kept stats you’d see way too many 30-40 footers from 100-140yds. Definitely negative strokes gained on approach play.

[@hoselpalooza1254]

1% better every day!!!

[@topoDaMornin]

I like your goal of working towards an elite standard, rather than just poking it around and making an acceptable score and never progressing.

[@kingshark5938]

1. Go check out bernard Langer, on how to hit draw and fades. He simplifies greatly. ... cause I can't see the club face , but seems you trying to manufacture fades and draws with swing mechanisms. Yeah to a degree. But a fade is, ball slightly center face to toe, 1.5 degree open club face, and just open your stance(lead foot back a bit). Take ur natty swing, the mechanisms for it to fade is already statically in place. Draw,... slight closed shoulders and stance(lead foot ahead), shut face 1deg Make it simple, ... and nice natty knock down 5i and 8i shots. Not out smarting yourself. Taking more club, swinging for a neutral ball flight. As someone said in the last video..... you, yourself said you would cut it with the dynamic shots and just focus on neutral stock ball flight shots. Do that. ... n sort them irin shafts. Plus those shanks are bad , good signs, mean you consciously trying not to get inside, well infront of u can create the opposite of inside you. Right misses, shanks. Leave your swing along and just stick to your guns of neutral shots, and dont be afraid of clubbing up to knock down. Like u did with a 8i 140 away. See how that worked.

[@John_Wood_]

Darren Clarke taught me a similar set up for fades and draws. Same swing for both shots, the flight is pre set in the set up.

[@kingshark5938]

@@John_Wood_ ... exactly, that's where we get in trouble, some people can set up square and pull off the great in to out slice action and cut fade the ball. N some can set up square and swing around themselves producing a draw. But to be consistent, one must learn to statically preset those shots at address and just swing normal, and only add to it, if you need a bigger fade(slice) or bigger draw(hook).

[@dard683]

cant understand how.so many of your approach shots are well short and right....need to hit enough club to reach center of greens ay least...Your head moves too quickly after putt eyes down ...1, 2, good lu k

[@mylesd6099]

One of the biggest problems amateur and average pro golfers have is under clubbing or not knowing their yardages when taking into account the wind a slope. Probably costs them 5/6 shots a round easily.

[@samanthagames1023]

I'm sure that your scoring will improve tremendously once you feel that you can trust your tee and approach shots enough to focus on the target and forget about technique. Your chipping and pitching looks much better to me and your putting looks very good - forget about the 3 putt(s) - you were an absolute mile away from the hole on several occasions. I would expect to see some mildly critical comments based on the video but it still shows real improvement IMO. Keep going.

Ah man. This should come with a warning - 'includes sounds of person drinking/eating'. Not sure I can make it to the end. lol #misophonia

[@evanwilliams3211]

Just feel like you could do with being a bit more aggressive. Both off the tea and attacking flags. Games deffo getting better every week

[@markpetersen2820]

honestly I think you are a bit hard on yourself at times, getting better is a process. The majority of shots you drop are short game and course management related. Having Ryan on the bag a couple of times will surely help out with the course management stuff and short game improvements can be made rather fast, so hold your head high and keep working hard. Thx for the content

[@DanTuber]

You've got to improve your accuracy. It's killing your game.

[@John_Wood_]

Yes, no point saying 'this was another good tee shot' then cut to second shot from the rough time and time again.

[@DanTuber]

@@John_Wood_ And the 2nd shot falls short which he then duffs the chip shot, then 3 putts. He's a "pro" playing like a 10 handicapper.

[@johnny9039]

You play alt better when your going at a flag rather than sticking with draw

[@Thefinder30]

Really like this lad and seems totally genuine but makes this game far to complicated. Playing or trying to play knock down shots? Why? Flags aren’t whipping and average normal conditions. Making hard work of it. I feel approach shots are a real issue here. Be interesting to see your states dude, look like your putting a lot of pressure on short game however that part of the games also appears to need sharpening and serious work from 80-10 yards. Love to play a around with this lad and coach him through, minimise his thoughts and over thinkings, selecting the correct shots.

[@theshadowrealm1311]

boosh

[@nialln521]

You keep talking about waiting for your 'game to come together'. From the content you are posting it is clear you know how to play golf. But at the same time you don't know how to play. Some of the shots you are missing off the tee are very similar to what I would see a 20 handicap hitting. Back in your old vlog posts years back you were playing at scratch level, you were aggressive off the tee and on approach shots to the green. Now it looks as if you are over thinking the game and not committing to your shots. Bubba Watson never took a lesson in his life and look where he is at. At this stage in your career you should try get back to your old game and become more aggressive. Because looking at the above content the scores wont come together. 4:08 im not sure what you are trying to do with a 5 iron in your hand? You used to be tapping in birdies with high ball flight to the green. Also focus on your own style of striking the ball. You will only get lost in yourself if you are trying to perfect a fade or draw. Choose one and stick to it. Dustin Johnson rarely if ever at all switches from a fade to draw shot. Stick with what you know best. You have the game.
