How To Manage The Course & Break 80 [RAMS HILL GOLF CLUB]

“Bad putting”, 2 less putts than PGA average on a bad day. Love it dude. A good putting day for me is anything under 36.

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks! And man, there are some easy gainz for you to make in that area then!

Adam with the driver figured out along with the already super good short game is next level 😎another good one friend!

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks, bud! Looking forward to playing later this month!

[@Gl4ssCannon]

Driver distance and control have been your Achilles heel in the past. Keep piping it 280 in the fairway, and your scores will get low real quick on those days where you've got the putter working. The work you're putting into your game is really paying off, it's fun to watch!

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks! I may have gained a few yards with the big stick but any more than that is probably thanks to the altitude/firm fairways etc. in sunny California compared to soggy Vancouver. Nonetheless, I'm trying to make gainz!

[@DreGolfs]

Great walk-off eagle!

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks, bud. A rarity for us short hitters. Not that you'd know :p

[@markj4202]

Adam, I just love watching you play golf. Your driver swing is SO MUCH BETTER NOW. Good Job! Also, an incredible eagle on such a beautiful course. That was a great round.

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks so much!

[@prezzzrock]

The mental toughness you show by not letting the bad outcome of a shot get in your head is admirable. I would be doing well to learn a valuable golf lesson from watching you in this video. Thanks for posting!!

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks! Indeed, I know I have 1000 pitfalls in my golf swing, but I think Zen Golf and Golf is Not a Game of Perfect were instrumental in helping me let go of bad shots out there, which has proven to be a really helpful skill :)

[@kevinfuters7568]

Congratulations to you and your father on your win. Lovely golf and a smashing eagle to finish

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Thanks Ryan!

[@haydenredl2919]

Changing the driver distance issue is going to get you closer to scratch than ever. The game is just easier with a wedge in hand on your second shot than a long iron. Confidence off the tee is huge with your driver, something I’m working on this year. Well done!

[@CatNash007]

6 cap here…looks like the slightly closed stance has you aiming right off the tee which is where many of your well struck drives end up. Just an observation. I had the same issue…basically brought my lead (left) foot back to a more square address and I’m hitting more fairways than ever.

[@TheoOderindeGolf]

Great golfing, I'm a fan already. My dad should see this. If only he can get lessons from the pro that ironed out your driving, he'll be a more valuable scramble partner. 😁

[@allieandbo]

Driver looks much improved. What was the correction? Also to add, I shot low 80's forever until I learned what golf course management meant. Now, in teaching my son, one of the first questions we ask before we swing is where do we want to miss because odds are we hit more bad shots than good.

Some excellent drives Adam. I'm a firm believer in taking lessons to level up those skills. Did you record or take any clips of your driver lesson(s)?

[@EllismoreCA]

so what's your plan when you finally become a scratch golfer?

[@daithi1990]

Been following you for ages now, but I just moved from Ireland to Vancouver and looking for recommendations of courses near by?

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Welcome to Van! The public course in the best condition year round is Morgan Creek. The local Vancouver munis are also good layouts - Fraserview, McCleery, and Langara (I'd rate them in that order). University (privately owned, open to the public) is also a good layout. Kings Links is a cool links style course that's worth checking out. And finally, there's Northview Ridge that used to host a PGA event that's a very solid, tough layout!

[@somerealaveragegaming5380]

Omg. 2 videos in 2 days. I may have died and gone to heaven

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

haha glad you liked 'em!

[@austinsanders6475]

If I remember correctly you used to hit 5 iron when 150 yards away in early videos? Is that right? If so what has helped you increase distances?

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Eh my 5-iron has always been a 170-ish club, it just depends on the lie/elevation, altitude, etc. There have definitely been times that I've hit it from only 150. I think I'm a bit more consistent with my irons than I used to be, though.

[@jasonk86]

Just curious, what did you change to your driver swing that you felt worked for you? I’m always in search of different feels and ways of thinking about the swing. Prob not for everyone, but would actually like to see all the off the tee shots back to back.

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

We weakened my trail hand grip ever so slightly. It made a world of difference.

Amateurs should always pull the pin (makes the hole bigger 😃). PGA Tour hole settings are the only place where you get exactly vertical pins. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jusstheman]

So the pro helping your driver swing, are you getting more distance? A repeating theme of the channel is you don't usually go big off the tee and I honestly can't tell if you just mention it a lot..... or it kind of bothers you. 🤔

[@NotAScratchGolfer]

Don't know if I necessarily picked up a ton of distance, but I got my trajectory quite a bit higher - it has been maddeningly low for the last few months.

[@allenyu4662]

Your Driver looks way more balanced from beginning to finish -- almost like a Rory Mcilroy swing

You were above the hole on like 16 of 18 greens in this round! Couldn't buy a putt because your putts all had to be extremely defensive.
