First GOLF LESSON ever! - This guy NEVER hit a golf ball in his life!

This video is a bit different than all the other videos we made so far. Someone is getting his first golf lesson ever. In fact, this guy never touched a golf club in his life! Jos Verlooy is someone special. Is is participating at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021. His discipline is Show Jumping (horses).
He is also participating in the Flemmish tv show "container cup" at Play4. In that sports program he has to hit a golf ball with an iron as far as possible. Today he is getting his first golf lesson to prepare himself fot that program.
In this video you will see someone learns how to hit a golf ball properly. We talk about gripping a golf club, balance, rotation and of course the basics of the golf swing.

Do you remember your first golf lesson? In what year was that?

[@BlixTV_be]

A long long time ago!

[@lisarechsteiner2618]

I am about to have my first golf lesson. Should I go out and buy an inexpensive complete set? Or just a few clubs?

[@Weplaygolf]

Hi Lisa, no no I don’t think that’s a good idea, I would wait until your teacher tells you what is the best in length and shaft flex 💪

[@daddar15]

This video is a true hidden gem. I have been golfing for years, but listening to you explain the basics in very broad terms to someone that knows nothing about golf forces you to remind yourself of the fundamentals. Too often you can become dizzy from instruction thinking about angles, checkpoints, and forces of power, forgetting the key concepts.

[@Weplaygolf]

Thank you for your kind words daddar15!

[@m0rtal_j0ker64]

I should really stop forcing everything at once. Thank you :D

[@caviarbeatzz1257]

I learned a lot from this too..thank you

[@HaikesXO]

I’m watching this after my first day playing golf and this guy made me feel better about it 😅 😆

[@lukebarnard5801]

His swing plane is so pure for never playing and he is already turning his wrists over at impact. That's crazy for a beginner to have that feel. He could be very good if he sticks with it. Great lesson and great foundation!!

[@justjames1111]

If you want to see something truly amazing, check out Ron Sissons ( a Canadian PGA Pro) giving lessons to beginners and experienced golfers. The before and After is truly remarkable, and the fact that he takes absolute beginners in one hour from terrible to striping the ball is something to see.

[@a-j731]

I have been playing for 6months and had a lesson, nothing was working, i could swing the club but it was forced and very tense, this lesson has changed my golf, im so thankful you uploaded this video, everything has clicked with my swing, and im on my way to break 100 legitimately, no breakfeast shots etc, playing by the book this year as my golfing goal. Thank you so much and what a wonderful game it has now become to play!!!! 😊🙌🇦🇺

[@SpitSharp]

Now that’s top notch teaching, this young man all ready has the makings of a good golfer, well done!

[@Weplaygolf]

Thank you bobber! I will also pass the message to Jos!

[@TheRausing1]

this is so good. the lesson on generating speed by being loose and letting the club fall is exactly what I've been trying to teach my girlfriend who is also a total beginner. I will show her this video as you are clearly a much better teacher than me ! 😂

[@Jdeneik]

Excellent instruction! Very good patience w your student. When you see smiles on their face, you are achieving results! Well done!

[@Weplaygolf]

Indeed! Thank you!

[@chrisl1637]

This was entertaining to watch! I forgot what my first lesson looked like, what a hard game! Keep posting videos like this and any other tips that you have. I still struggle with balance! At the takeaway I pull my body forward and force myself onto the balls of my feet.

[@1Stevencat]

This video actually improved my swing greatly! Thank you and Jos for this. I'm very glad Jos did this because that's not an easy thing to be filmed and shown to everyone. Thank you guys so much.

[@Weplaygolf]

Great to read your comment! Thanks for the compliments!

[@TouchOfVenom]

Look after yourself and keep pushing through. Love silent hill 2 myself. So yeah looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Keep strong.

[@TexNano]

MANY THANKS!! Amazing lesson with great valuable tips and superb teaching methodology. You are a great instructor!!

[@Weplaygolf]

Thank you very much TexNano!

[@paulmaggs5420]

great.. thank you i have learned so much from this..

[@GoodKounsel]

I just wanted to say thank you! Your instruction has improved my ball striking and overall golf game. You are a treasure and if you ever find yourself in Birmingham, AL, drinks, golf and dinner are on me!

[@Weplaygolf]

Thank you so much Brion!

[@cv1725]

Great tips! I'm trying to get into golf and never knowing where to actually start. Only extra thing I would have said to him is something that was said to me when I first wanted to learn how to swing, which is to keep my head down and eye on the ball for much longer than I think I need to. I tend to want to see where it's going to go more than keeping my eyes down to ensure solid contact.

[@BoldBear68-wh5lu]

Brilliant lesson!

[@swissgunz]

This is the greatest golf lesson I’ve had the pleasure of watching. Thanks!

[@Weplaygolf]

Thanks!! I am glad you liked it!

[@gannagass4370]

I am thinking to start golfing and this video is an excellent introduction..I see how important is to take the right lessons from a professional who can actually convey his knowledge. Thank you!

[@Weplaygolf]

Great comment! I really hope you will start playing golf. You will enjoy it very much! And getting a good golf pro is indeed a very good start! Have fun!

[@dannmetal6459]

I actually liked this video. From absolutely beginner - to still a beginner, but we all saw that slight improvement. He needs to be congratulated. He's done well, so hopefully he improves! My first lesson? June 2021. I'm a newbie as you know, and I have played golf before (roughly once a year) - but you'd call me a 'weekend hacker' (like 40-50+ handicap or even more - and didn't care to do much better). Once my Comp Tennis days were over (earlier this year I decided, sadly) I decided to take up Golf. Fast forward 8 lessons in and my SW-7I shots are extraordinarily consistent (with the odd shank here and there, obviously). Point is, in this three month turn around with lessons and practice, i know when I hit a bad shot, I know when it doesn't feel right, I know when my tempo is off etc etc. I have high hopes for the future, and so do i for this guy learning and improving Golf. Fantastic - and well done to you for being patient. A trait I know that is part and parcel of teaching. Well done. Dann.

[@Weplaygolf]

Most tennis players can become good golfers!

Here’s a video of swing improvements in a series of students, from brand new beginners to average and above average golfers, having their first lesson…. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ6UpoCseLCcqJo&pp=ygUUbGVhcm4gdGhlIHJlYWwgc3dpbmc%3D

Very good instruction for a complete beginner. Earns my subscription, sir.

Thank you very much Daddy Harry!

[@michaelsherry6364]

This is by far the best video you have made Tom,, probably the most honest video by a KZbin teacher, well done 👍

[@Weplaygolf]

Thank you for the compliment Michael! I appreciate this.

[@michaelsherry6364]

@@Weplaygolf you deserve it,, tired of watching you tube teachers turning 18 handicappers into single figure golfers in 10 minutes,

Thanks!

[@Weplaygolf]

Thank you for that!

[@jackkinoff6943]

I went for a lesson today on chipping and the 3 points I have to work on I at this point in time are struggling to grasp That is with years of playing Surprisingly this guy despite being inundated with info is picking things up so well Amazing to watch that he can take on board so much when I am struggling with 3 things which are not really that hard all things considered

[@Weplaygolf]

Yes, there is a lot of information to process in a first golf lesson.

[@nTo-vlog]

original content from Tom! Nice one!

[@Weplaygolf]

Thank you nTo!

From Indonesia : nice tutorial, I have been follow you my favorite coach, when you come to Indonesia again?

Thank you Untung! No plans yet, but who knows. We're looking always for nice places to record new videos! On which Island do you live?

[@untungsurapati559]

@@Weplaygolf I hope you to visit my country again, thank you

[@youn1versoul]

It's my first day, Im looking like this guy. The journey begins 😈

[@petitedeparisien]

OK now I feel more relatable. Having watched all the utubers saying they are hitting 80s within 1 year of starting the game makes me feel I am retarded.

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

First swing: 1:35 Last swing: 29:15

[@joeyre3760]

This makes the swing so complicated for me

[@enensis]

This really does sum up how complicated and rediculous golf is.

[@spencethroughthefence]

Weak ass comment

[@devenbrown761]

This guy a hockey player?

[@Weplaygolf]

No, he’s a professional jockey, jumping. No balls involved…

[@HouseOfGrudge]

Where did you find this dude? I thought he was from the special squad when I saw him hit the first few balls. I hope he manages to stop flipping his right foot when he swings the club...

[@ZahraIsMyDog]

Why so mean? Probably because he is an Olympic equestrian athlete and they use a lot of legs and feet to control the horse.

[@chrisantoniou2316]

This bloke has confused me

[@rickywanless2239]

I get hes a beginner but my god he's terrible 🤣🤣. Arms like noodles

[@Q-Bits8]

very bad idea to start with a 7 iron....

[@chrisc2756]

Very wordy hard to follow.

[@VPTest]

So talented!! I'm getting better and better by using Golf Kinetics :) You should try it too!

[@_scumbrisket3172]

This is a good video but this is cap… like a lie… hes swung a club before…
