OK, you got me. Simple approach to the game. Love it. My Dad was like that when he was trying to teach me to play as a kid. He used to say the same thing, take the club back, take the club through. He taught me to say no to the hero shots. I play with people that no matter what, if they can grab the driver, they do. Does it pay off all the time? Sometimes! I find myself using a 3 wood or less many times on difficult holes. Live one more shot, don't penalize yourself. As I age, my body dictates good days and sometimes, not very good days. I played 7 holes recently. My back was killing me. I went to the clubhouse, had beer and hamburger, hit the hardware store on the way home, and took a nap. Still, I got some golf played, did medium for my game. Again, just love your attitude Jimmy. A new subscriber gained!

[@breadguysgolf]

I haven't been able to play golf for a few weeks due to injuries. Saw you on KZbin and had to try your swing program. It was so easy. I never even attempted to try it before playing 9 holes. No practice, nothing. Just went out and played. Haven't touched a club in 2 months. Shot 46 on a tough golf course. Still not 100% recovered. If you can breathe and move , you can do this.

[@gcoffey223]

2 rounds later using Jimmy's aproach... shot a 79. Simple AND repeatable. No need to tak a huge full swing, simple, shorter takeaway and a 75% swing gives WAY BETTER CONTACT with plenty of distance. I was skeptical, but not no more!! Jimmy is the man!!

[@Ironlion_67]

I’ll just say! Found Jimmy and NOW I have fun! This works.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I love to hear that. Thanks for watching

[@roblombardo3891]

Jimmy the video you showed about waving 👋 on your back swing really helped me to hitting the ball solid far and straight thank you

[@jbweezer]

Practice on the range, but PLAY on the course. It's really easy to forget that, thanks for the reminder.

[@seancoxe1094]

Hey, everybody, Steve Stricker swings just like Jimmy Tropicana! Seriously, my new favorite golf channel on YT. Great videos promoting a great approach to the game.

[@gcoffey223]

Effective and EASY. He has a GREAT video on ball placement, I was not sold on playing woods and long irons so further back but it cured my hooks and kept the ball in play ALL DAY!! Highly recommend if you haven't seen it. Beat

[@09Youba]

After teaching 30 yrs and was in the PGA and started golf at 7 living across from the golf course. i have over 100 books I have read about the golf swing. We didn't have KZbin. I always taught a golfer based on the physical abilities. Now in my late 70's and I still work out but I can't swing the swing I was able to do from 7 to age 68. With more aches and pains. With your swing more golfers can swing this way with fewer injuries. That is what I have discovered for me. Tha you Jimmy.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Love to hear that. Thanks for watching

[@donparker4775]

You are the Best Coach ever! I am a lot calmer when I think of your videos while I'm playing. Thanks for sharing!

[@gcoffey223]

😂😂😂😂 YUP!! I was using his philosophy last 2 rounds. Shot a 79 yesterday. Even teed off with my 4i on some par 5's!! I was laughing to myself watching my opponent get in trouble all day with driver. My now new favorite yt channel! Jimmy is GOLD

[@OgKamoGaming]

30 years and just now hearing this. Wow!

[@gentlethor421]

I told my Golf buddy I was doing a new back swing. He says it looked like I was waving at him. Simple Golf, here I come!!!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Its magic. Glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching

[@ronpryor5812]

Thank you for removing pressure from the game. Your technique works great even in courses that look worse than some cow pastures I've walked and played on. Keep up your videos for you are helping make golf fun again

[@stevedriscoll2539]

I can't count the bad rounds and bad shots I have done because of "paralysis by analysis". You are right Jimmy, it is a disease.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Yes steve. Think less play more

[@dpslivinski]

Hello, so your strategy seems to be working for me! At 58 years of age, I have never played more than 15 rounds of golf a summer with 4 - 5 being company scrambles. Consistency has been the challenge and I have averaged 105 from the whites at local courses. This winter I started following your channel and have gone to the range several times to practice. My first four rounds of the season have been 104, 97, 93 , and 94. I play with a driver, 4 hybrid and 5 - gap wedge for clubs. Some more practice with the short game will hopefully drive another 3 - 5 shots off of my score and have me flirting with the 80s! Thanks

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

keep it going. thanks for watching

[@zacharystokes]

Practice with intent. Play for joy.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

[@user-dm1dp4fd3g]

that car honking was trying to clear your mind and make sure you didnt have any swing thoughts before you putt. haha. epic.

[@Gunbucket1964]

I enjoy your videos, Jimmy. With the exceptions of a few outings, I basically quit golf after high school with an 11 handicap. I started playing again, but my handicap has soared to a 28 and I cannot seem to improve. Distance isn't a problem, but I cannot keep them in play. I even knock it down a club or two just so I have an easy swing. No luck. Wish I could find out why my shots are so wild. Lessons haven't helped either. 😕

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Your shots are wild because youre doing to much. Keep you hands quiet and swing half

[@Memnoch451]

The old Lakers would not have a chance playing post Hand Checking rules Lakers. Todays game is not the same and while great players could make a larger impact on the game in the early 80's todays teams have to be just that... A team! - Another very good video that makes sense and is easy to follow! Cheers!

You’re onto something Jimmy! Thank you sir for the “do less” lesson! For real that’s the way…

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks for watching

[@jasonbourne488]

I think it’s pretty important to ensure weight is shifted to the lead side rather than just turning back and then turning forward.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

it has to happen naturally though. when you try to do it, bad things happen. Thanks for watching. Jimmy Tropicana for more information and to support Tropicana Merch please visit www.tropicanagolfshop.com

[@billgalante1181]

Jimmy, great video, you make playing the game enjoyable.

[@user-uk1lf2fu3v]

OK went out today. Just played nine holes that’s all weather permitted, did not go to the driving range first which I wish I would’ve since seeing your videos. I hit some shots that felt just unbelievable. I like that I try to illuminate every thought from my head and leave my hands behind as I turned it seem to work really really good majority of the time when I was able to keep my head down and move my hips through. I love the concept. I do have one question I like that I’m not confusing myself with a bunch of other thoughts, but the one thing that you said to do was wave to the camera here’s my question is that wave to the camera your wrists cocking and just a better way of thinking about it.

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Just wave. Whatever happens because of that, happens. Just wave

[@jasontopholm441]

Ground under repair allows for a drop without penalty (addition of extra stroke).

[@shaungarcia5213]

Jimmy, loving the videos! slight suggestion, would you be able to show the full swing on your videos? I like seeing the ball flight, but would be helpful to see the actual swing (maybe add a tracer instead?)

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Shot tracers are why I started this channel. Shot tracers are so fake I couldnt stand it anymore.

[@ag358]

Ty Jimmy. Please no tracers. Keep doing what you're doing. Iron distance now is unremarkable today because they keep decreasing loft seven irons are as low as thirty degrees now. Teach what your teaching and teach to hit each club the same distance that's how to score.​@@TropicanaEntertainment

[@ericolson8814]

I agree. Larry shouldn't be thinking about anything when on the course... well, maybe ONE swing thought. Sure, practice like hell to improve your shortcomings, but "let it go" when you're playing a round.

[@davidbarr9897]

My new mantra is: “It’s a hot tub put!”

[@gcoffey223]

Last 2 rounds were great, only had 1 hot tub putt and failed. I genuinely look forward to my longer putts now. I was disappointed I had zero long putts yesterday😂😂😂 but shot a 79!! Love this channel

[@markkpardue8597]

Genius! crazy how golf gets in the head!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Its all mental my friend.

[@doowoprichie]

Lol,its true Jimmy I do the same shit and when not thinking hit great

[@williamrivera2000]

Thank you Jimmy. You advise is super valuable. I decreased my handicap just from watching your videos. I can also now play 18 holes with one golf ball thanks to your simple and repeatable techniques. I was wondering what type of grip do you use with your golf clubs. Do you use an interlock grip, baseball grip, or some other type of grip? Just curious. Thank you. Will Rivera

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

Thanks Will. So happy to hear that. I interlock.

That shot over the tree ,on the 2nd hole, I think I would have used my 4 iron, and hit it off my back foot, and gone UNDER the tree.

[@shaunwestray6606]

Hi Jimmy thanku for the slow down and thinking about the best way to play simplified please do a what’s only back as it looks like you play with copper heads?? Thank u by the way did what you showed and shot 57 with a 15 handicap my best round this yours d only thought about being calm and steady great cigar 2

[@shaunwestray6606]

Sorry Jimmy what’s in the bag I mean yours 🙏

Can you make a video from the side, would like to see your setup from the front when hitting the ball. Thanks!

Yet another great video. I've just got to ask. Where do you buy your clothes? We don't have those shops here in Norway, but love the style. Anything online?

I collect vintage clothing. I have thousands of polos and pants

[@1fast10r]

Loving the content

[@billbyrnes9505]

Right or wrong? You turn your club like you say, you take your fifty degree, turn it in a quarter to a half inch, does that NOW, make that a forty eight to a forty six degree, ADDING, more distance with less loft? Placing you on the back of the green instead of the middle or back of the green? Play well my friend, have a blast. If anybody plays like I do, off and on again since the early seventies, (no lessons or proper trainig,) just some good friends that try to help you out, (mainly by making you think,) and NOW, youtube, and you play once, twice a week. Then congrats, you are not smart enough at the game to get mad at it. Go hit some balls and have fun. Don't worry about the score. Tip of the day, practice. Putting. You lose more strokes over putting and chipping than you do in the fairway. Thanks Jimmie, for keeping it simple. Simple, and stylish.

[@jeffreydunn3173]

Jimmy, can we discuss ball placement? I know everyone is different. My Dad for example places the ball in the same place for every club. What’s your thought on this? Thanks!!

[@TropicanaEntertainment]

I love the ball back in my stance to keep the ball from going left.

"Neck down bruh". I play best when I am there from the neck down. It doesn't pay me to think.

[@mattdaniels6430]

What a shocker. A guy with solid technique built up over probably years is capable of "doing less" because most of the things that go on a rampage of many amateurs are already deeply ingrained. Don't get me wrong, I think, this relaxed approach makes absolute sense but lets not act as if it is for everyone and will solve all issues. I can't do less of everything when I sway and I am not aware of it.

[@ocen77]

But he hasn't. He was a baseball player. This stuff is gold.

[@mattdaniels6430]

@@ocen77 Ah I didn't know that. For how long is he golfing? (Being a baseball will give him quite something in terms of hand-eye coordination. And his core power will also be quite good)

Love your vids! I'm just starting out and have what may be a dumb question...I get the turn back and turn forward motion, but is your arms not involved at all, other than being between you and the ball? Are they still as in just following your turn forward? I keep thinking I have too much swing in my arms after watching your great vids
