I FINALLY Broke 100!

[@JoeCothern-lv8zx]

Congratulations brother! Keep practicing, playing and you will bust ninety. God Bless

[@playbaad]

Thank you! Break 90 or bust! 🙏🏽

[@SpyHunter316]

Nice bogey putt at the 13:26 mark. Remember, drive for show, putt for dough. Nice putt.

[@playbaad]

Thank you! No wonder I’m broke if I’m supposed to putt for dough, lol

[@mistareee]

The secret to golf is the club is NOT designed to hit a ball like baseball or tennis. The club is designed to brush the grass. Just brush the grass on all swings, even chips and it will change everything for you

[@1985nyg]

Great job dude. Your swing has a ton of promise in it. Keep up the dedication and you’ll probably be doing break 85 videos before you know it.

[@playbaad]

Thank you! I hope so. That’s the goal, to keep bringing that score down. We’ll get there!

[@COACHgtv8192]

Way to hang in there my dude! Less than 100 and you're at 1000! LET'S GO! Way to stay under 100 on the round also.

[@playbaad]

Thank you!! 🙏🏽

[@TheDrewjay]

no reason snowmen are the worst. goin golfing in the morn and looking to break 90...keep on playing you will get better. i am back playing again after not playing for last 15 yrs, when i had played before then for about 20 yrs and was shooting low eighties...back at it again this summer. hitting every club 40 yards further than when i started swinging the clubs again in april this yr...bought a 10x10x10 net and woodshedded all summer and still hit atleast 50 or more balls a day and will hit them most of the winter until snow stays...shot 94 about a month ago, so as i said i am hoping to get close or break 90 tomorrow. Subbed and look forward to seeing your progress friend. Golf is good!

[@playbaad]

Sounds like you’ve been putting in some serious work! Keep it up and I hope you break 100 tomorrow! Golf is good!

[@TheDrewjay]

@@playbaad shot 105....too many "no reason" snowmen...lol some really great shots that will always keep me coming back, and i came back to my practice space and figured out my glitch however. of course its always down to how i set up to the ball. i set up with it to far back most of the time. If i place ball under my left arm pit with both feet together and club in my left hand behind the ball with shaft pointing at my left hip...then i move legs for set up...with ball ending up inside my left heel (under by left breast it feels like) with shaft pointing to just left of my belt buckle for fw and hybrids, and just ahead of middle of stance for irons (under my sternum) with shaft lean pointing between my belt and left hip. now to fix the 3 putt and 3 chip holes lol peace.

[@tz7763]

there's a fine line between over thinking and under thinking those 3-4 foot putts. i have the same problem. you don't want to walk up there and just rip it without reviewing the pace, break, aim point etc but you also don't want to stand over the ball for 30 seconds and get too tense. it's also my biggest problem and i lose probably 2 strokes per round on 4 foot putts.

[@playbaad]

I usually under think them and then feel like I need to buy a new putter to fix my bad putting, lol. I feel you though. So many strokes can be saved with better putting.

[@roeljosephsalvador8705]

Nice video! I can relate to your journey. It is a huge deal. I am now doing my best to break 90. The earlier holes, your swing tempo is a little off sync. But you did say that it was still too early. Good luck and I look forward to more videos and breaking courses.

[@playbaad]

Thank you! Yeah my tee time was 6:30am and that course doesn’t have a driving range so I was still warming up on the early holes.

[@aakashmehta1716]

I play there all the time. Would love to get a round in with you sometime

[@scorchermax2501]

Great job!!! I just broke 100 the other day, first time since I was a kid. It was 91 and couldn't believe it! Once you break, you want to play more and get consistent. Keep it going. Congrats!!

[@playbaad]

Congrats! That’s an awesome score! And you’re right. I was so excited after I broke 100 that I went out and played another 9 holes on that same day, lol

[@pocket_nutz9163]

You’ve got a really athletic swing my man… All the fundamentals are there…. spend a couple weeks straight working on your putting with an emphasis on distance control, and you’ll see the shots melt away . Keep it up and God bless.

[@playbaad]

Thank you! You’re right, I’ve gotta focus on the putting for sure!

[@chuckpalmer284]

Congratulations on breaking 100. Really admire your attitude. Your ball striking looks so much better than at the beginning of the season. Get that chipping and putting down and you will be ready to break 90 next!! It was a great putt on #9.

[@playbaad]

Thank you! I’ve been working on the swing. Every once in a while something just clicks and I get a little better. I definitely gotta work on the short game, oh my goodness, it’s killing me. I could be under 90 if I putted better.

[@이충훈-u4j]

Your swing is so good. You should be breaking 100 every single game. Great video!

[@playbaad]

Thank you! I’m working on my swing. 🙏🏽

[@ryanalexis5262]

my goat

[@playbaad]

Thank you Ryan! 🙏🏽

[@OverPar_Golfer]

Felt your pain on that hole 17 putting. It be just like that

[@playbaad]

I hate 3 putts but 4 putts should be punishable! I think I’ll punish myself in some way the next time I 4 putt.

[@nilesa9622]

Big congrats on getting under 100, awesome accomplishment

[@playbaad]

Thank you so much! It's been a long time coming!

[@TorrenceStepteau]

Congratulations on breaking 100!

[@playbaad]

Thank you!! 🙏🏽

[@digitalpug]

A lot of great shots and more consistency overall, congrats!

[@playbaad]

Thank you!!! Getting there, slowlllllyyyyyy!!!

[@PROredLASER]

Great video, very similar to the mindset I try and keep while playing. Just started around 4 months ago took some lessons before ever touching the course now I have the itch so bad I’m upset it’s getting colder

[@playbaad]

Thank you! You did it the right way, taking lessons first. I’m sure it’ll pay off for you in the long run.

[@Matt-jo5vj]

Bro, would love to play a round together at Meadows/Mercer Oaks. I can show you the secret and have you breaking 90 with ease and eventually 80. Swing is looking real good, keep it up. It's all about the love of the game.

[@playbaad]

Sure, I’d like to play Mercer one day. I don’t think I’ve played there in a year or more. Thank you, I’m hoping to make some good improvement next season, especially with putting.

[@ulicesllamasramirez2162]

I started golfing a little over 3 months ago. And I just recently tied my personal best of 106 and I know I can break 100 it’s just cleaning up the little stupid mistakes

[@playbaad]

106 is a great score for only being 3 months in! I’m sure you’ll break 100 soon. You’re right, it’s just about making a few less mistakes.

[@alui418able]

Your swing is a lot smoother than previous videos. The hardest part of the swing is the transition from the top of the swing and then begin your downswing and stay controlled. I have better controls in my swing with irons, but still working on the driver, that is my most difficult club. My question to you is if your score improves, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of playing baad golf? Keep up the good work. This idea I have might be good for the channel, the part where you didn’t like where the ball lied near the green, and you contemplated on which club to use. I would like to see videos what you would do and then a better choice or option if your choice of club was incorrect. Of course this video would be separate from your golfing videos when counting your score. It would be like a self improving video, just a thought.

[@playbaad]

Thank you, I’ve been working on the swing. It’s slowly getting better. I play bad now, but the BAAD stands for Birdies, Aces And Draws. It’s kind of an aspirational play on words. I’m bad, but I want to be BAAD. So if I get better, it should still work. Thanks for the advice, that sounds like a good idea! I too swing better with my irons than my driver. We’re all works in progress!

[@arpus1995]

Massive congrats!!! Love your story and videos, now we gotta break 90!!!! You got this

[@playbaad]

Thank you!! Baby steps for me, I want to see if I can get under 95 first, lol. Thanks for the motivation!

[@markskipper2199]

Some really good drives!

[@playbaad]

Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@itsjustgolf]

Congratulations buddy on breaking 💯👍🏻🏌‍♂️

[@playbaad]

Thank you so much! I gotta try to keep it going, lol

[@MikeGolfsOregon]

YES!!! Congratulations!

[@playbaad]

Thank you Mike! 🙏🏽

[@schumacker5986]

Congrats! keep it up

[@playbaad]

Thanks, I'm gonna try! I mean, yes, I will!

[@derekdaz]

Big congrats man! I'm at around the same skill level as you and I've been chasing 99. Fun to see how we get similar scores w/ a bit different play style!

[@playbaad]

Thank you! I’m sure you’ll eclipse that 99 real soon if you haven’t already.

[@derekdaz]

@@playbaad I did on Veterans Day! And another 99 this week. Feels good.

[@coletraincyclist5979]

Great video

[@playbaad]

Thank you!

[@James-oh1wp]

Congrats!

[@playbaad]

Thank you!! 🙏🏽

[@ST3V3-O]

First time watching your video ,very nice bro! Your game is definitely heading in the write direction. Like myself it looks like your rushing yourself just a little, But I get it! What people don’t realize is your multitasking your game setting up for your video shots and your golf shot! Keep up the good work. What are you shooting your vids with “camera”? Your vids are super sharp! 😊

[@playbaad]

Thank you! You got it! A lot of people don’t understand how much extra attention I have to give to camera setup and positioning before I even think about taking each shot. I’ve definitely gotten used to it, but I’m sure it adds strokes because I also want to make sure I don’t slow down pace of play. I shoot the majority of my videos with an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I used to use a DJI Osmo Pocket 2 for some videos but the quality is definitely not as good as my iPhone and the file size is way higher as well. I usually shoot in 4K at 24 fps or 30 fps.

[@octochin2]

17:40 look up toe down chipping. Great for dodgy lies like that

[@playbaad]

Thank you! I play a lot of courses with lie like that unfortunately, lol

[@Jayspencergolf]

We gotta get a round in soon

[@playbaad]

Sounds good!

[@chyeme7]

Get to it.....105 my best score.....im looking to break that 100 too

[@playbaad]

You will! You’re sooo close.

[@jackniewold4537]

Mannnnnn I wish i could get under 100 soooo bad Curious if you'll start doing it a lot more consistently now or if it continues to be a slow progression curious

[@playbaad]

You will get there! I can give you a sneak preview. I’ve recorded two 18 hole course vlogs since then and in one of them I did even better than this video. In the other one I struggled to break 100. So it’s going to be up and down for me. I’ll just keep on practicing and working on my swing and try to develop consistency.

[@Lamagolfs]

Congrats bro let’s gooo!!!! Let’s play together at the meadows I’m always there

[@playbaad]

It’s a fun course, although that back nine is tough for me. Yeah that’ll be cool to get a round out there together.

[@Jayspencergolf]

Let’s goooo

I bet I can win your money in golf.

I bet you could too. I’m a 25 handicap, lol

I thought this was Shannon Sharpe for the first second

[@playbaad]

LOL!! I’m pretty much Shannon minus the money, the muscles and the Michelle!

[@Tiger_Slot66outlook]

Why don`t you tell me a Hole# and yardage, Par?

[@playbaad]

I show the Hole # and yardage and PAR on the screen when I approach each hole.

[@zacharyvalloric9076]

Your not that bad at all striking just have to get focused slow down

[@playbaad]

Thank you very much. Working on it!

[@timnew7662]

Until a golfer break 100 consistently they should not be playing the middle (white) tees. Don't let the ego get in the way. Move up a tee box and enjoy the lower scores.

[@playbaad]

I appreciate the thought. I definitely don’t play with any ego and there are times when I do play from the forward tees. Unfortunately I never broke 100 from the forward tees either. I will try it again though. Thanks for your comment.

[@markfogarty574]

@@playbaadDisregard what that guy said. Everyone plays from the whites.
