Fantastic advice!! (17:07) "Go with no line, just let the brain takeover". I've felt that so many times, just never quite editorialized it with those words, that way. Thank You Josh, very much.

@@Coupsie99 hahaha

[@jackusdavus8374]

I'm only about 20 minutes in, but what's very clear is that from a skills perspective it's not about hitting every FIR and GIR (although this helps!) but it's about honing your pitching, chipping and putting skills which really keep the round alive when you're struggling on a hole. Great golf 💪💪💪

[@joshoddy]

Thanks man appreciate the support

[@adambroomhall]

Watching your swing has given me the visual cue I needed to stop coming over the top. It perfectly illustrates "let gravity start the downswing". Thanks mate, glad I found your chanel 👍🏻

[@joshoddy]

Appreciate you Adam!

[@swardmusic]

I thought Paul Wilson golf swing straight away! Body turn driven swing rather than just throwing hands!

[@ryanbedwell2144]

Same!

[@vertigo7768]

Doesn’t matter how much you let gravity start the downswing if your fly face is wide open, you’ll still come over the top, number one fault I see on my lesson tee.

[@DailyMindBrew]

Loved the video. I am no where near level par but you reinforced this is a mental game. Once you have a bad shot, for me it just piles on

[@thealdridges5560]

You are so right about short game putting and chipping it seems to be the difference between me finishing 1 over par and not going under par on a 3 handicap. Very valuable info on when to play safe as well

[@joshoddy]

Appreciate your comment bro

[@danielstimpson707]

TY for taking the time and revealing your mindset. Not a long player, but soooo careful with wedges and putting. Like all very good players, Tee shot doesnt hurt them when not perfect, and excellent recovery skills. (good planner)

[@toneyo4794]

Good content! Most high handicappers add strokes to their game from bad decisions not bad swings. They need to hear how good players play a course.

[@joshoddy]

My guy

[@yeahthisiscuddy]

I think bad swings have a lot to do with it too lol

[@Coda1850]

I enjoyed watching with the in depth talk through on each shot. Thx, great vid!

[@ThePublicGolfers]

Nice Video. I think the biggest thing I took away was the talk about starting off the right way, which in large part is giving yourself time to actually warm up so your first swing isn't on the first tee. Just curious, how does your warmup change if there is no place to hit balls prior?

[@joshoddy]

Dynamic stretch a few fast swings etc!!!

[@timmadley3779]

The drive and second shot on hole one could have been mine-nothing in the rest of the round was anything like mine-awesome golf and a great video-thanks!

[@joshoddy]

Appreciate it tim glad you enjoyed it

[@joshbeck_13]

I love your videos man they help me so much with decisions and how to play tricky shots. Keep up the good work, you’re gonna go far❤

[@joshoddy]

Love it mate appreciate your support

[@CR-hh7ev]

Had my first 9 holes the other day at level par so good to see you play this so easily.

[@LordVerdo]

Personally, I am a 12 handicap at my course. So I usually shoot around the low 80s. Haven’t been playing my best golf recently and last week my poor shots were a hook. But honestly, mind set, not trying the crazy play, trying to hit the green anywhere on a chip, and eliminate 3 putts are such stroke savers.

[@joshoddy]

That’s what it is all about! Grinding them rounds out when you’re not playing your best and take the chances when they come!

[@LordVerdo]

@@joshoddy Exactly! Rather than getting pissed. Like I still managed a bogey after trying to go for a par 5 in 2, I hit my 2nd shot ob. The next hole I hit my drive into the trees, chipped out and got up and down for par.

[@joshoddy]

@@LordVerdo exactly that man all momentum! A bad shot can sometimes wake you up and push you on to make up the mistakes later in the round! And then the super low rounds come from when you get rid of the mistakes!

[@bjmgolf3651]

Solid round of golf overall. Appreciate the insight into your game.

[@jumpthegunblues]

Well played young Josh. Good course management. Good to see you back using a “normal” putter. 👌

[@joshoddy]

Cheers man!

[@robpottergolf]

Absolutely loved this Josh. Talking through the shots, the course management tips; everything! Just a quality, class, instructional. Would love to have a chat with you offline over a vlog idea I have, involving you?

[@joshoddy]

Course mate shoot me a DM over on instagram joshoddy59 is my username

[@markwilliams839]

To cover off a few of the comments regarding handicap. The handicap system and the courses have been re rated in recents years. Handicaps are 2, maybe 3 shots lower than they would be before the changes around 5 years ago, especially against CONGU. +6 is more like +3/+4 which is borderline to try being a touring pro Clearly a very very good player regardless and great content.

[@gml8282]

[@joshoddy]

Haha chill with that

[@Kedbuka]

[@Krejmas]

Can you do a round where you utilize an app like 18 birdies that shows an overhead view of the hole so that you can show where you are aiming and why, so that we can understand club selection and course management? Thanks!

[@niklasgillstrom9917]

I'm interested in your grip. It's oversized. How does that help you with your swing and why did you decide to go with it? I'm kinda curious because I've thought about it, but I might have too small hands?

[@kieranoake]

I’m a 3.4 index and was interested to see the difference between our games. I think it’s realising that par is a good score, and birdies will come to you if you keep hitting GIR. Short game obviously important and putting, also noticed you hit a lot of irons off tees rather than bombing driver up by the green. Is there anything else you would add to my observations? Cheers 😄

Good job mate. 👏👏 Drive for show, putt for dough. Your putting is solid. Pity about the double break on 9th.

[@paulmontignani]

Great content thoroughly enjoyed and learn a lot from these type of videos. As a 4 handicap I’ve picked up a few things for sure. Only annoyance is the new fad of golfers on KZbin clicking their fingers to try and get the ball to stop on the green!!

[@joshoddy]

sorry mate I will stop the clicking

[@paulmontignani]

@@joshoddy no worries mate 😃. Keep the videos coming. Much prefer watching good golf from UK based guys than some of the yankee drivel that’s available. It’s much more relatable in terms of the course conditions, weather etc so good work!

[@adriancedervind7994]

i love these videos! thank you for sharing you experience.

[@kevinjager124]

I am a 3 handicap and I’ve always been pretty steady around that for years. About six months ago, my driver started to misbehave and I lost all confidence and put in a good role together because I didn’t know where the ball was going to end up in the trees are out of balance. I tried everything, range work, lessons, KZbin videos, nothing worked at all. I was pretty much ready to give up the game. Back to the current day, and fixed. Thank you! Taylormade BRNR mini driver! Previous Arccos stats for fairways hit with my old cobra king F9 46% now 74%. so if anyone is having difficulty of the tea, I would massively recommend grabbing one of these as soon as possible

[@joshoddy]

Yeh don’t let it it break you down! Keep fighting hard and you’ll bring it back!

[@JRM8047]

Easiest way to become a +6 is every morning when you're heading out the door to go to work, instead of taking a left towards work, take a right towards the golf course. Repeat that for a year and you'll be quickly on your way to +6. Don't worry about work, they will find someone else to do your job.

[@joshoddy]

@@mpp9964 thanks man maybe KZbin deleted them I did not thanks for your support mate

[@steveevans4299]

The negative comments are there way down below. Mainly based on his claims to regularly shoot -6 or better (a +6 handicap golfer). I think some commenters think the video intro text is quite overblown 'the incredible skills and strategies of a +6 handicap golfer who never fails to impress on the course.' - but his Golf is miles better than mine so I'll shut up.

[@ALAW1919LUFC]

It's choppers completely misunderstanding handicap indexes and how you achieve them. This lad didn't do anything different to other +6 handicappers I've played with/seen before. I think people just assume to be off +6 you have to hit drives 340 yard straight, put approach shots to within 6 ft and hole every putt. In reality you can be wild off the tee (Tiger & Bryson perfect examples of this) and miss plenty of greens, but if you can get up and down regularly and sink long birdie putts you will be a plus handicap golfer.

[@joshoddy]

@@ALAW1919LUFC facts my guy

[@miklevey3429]

Great job there! Do you normally miss more greens than that? I would not guess you were a 6 hdcp.

[@miklevey3429]

Ok I get it. You’re not +6. Still good content though. I’ll give you a like!

[@Mykl0000]

Can you pin this?: A *positive* handicap means you shoot under par, since you would in this case add your handicap to your score to make it 72, balancing the game. If you are a 15 handicap player, you don’t add 15 strokes after the round, you subtract them. Most golfers are on this side, so nobody puts the negative sign. It’s inferred. Look up why handicaps were used.

[@john-yn5nz]

wow I'd love to play that course at present so nice easy to play conditions ..my local links in present winter conditions is a beast ultra-fast greens gazed up in places(many 2-3 tier huge movement greens + sicko greens keeper putting flag in some nasty spots) rough mostly tight lies to bony sand pockets right beside fairways or just beside greens ..overall course plays very long in dense cold air ...6-8deg low cloud .....brrrrrrrr
