I FLEW ACROSS the COUNTRY for the World's Best Short Game Coach (Chipping Made Easy)

[@cstratag4946]

Dude the amount of value in this series is unreal. UN REAL.

[@bassmasta9117]

I like this coach's attitude and teaching style.

[@corlisferguson9979]

Almost feel like I need to be paying for the lesson. Lol. Appreciate you taking us all on this journey with you.

[@seadonkey6913]

James is a top notch coach! I bought his book a long time ago and my short game is a plus 3 in strokes gained!

[@swish1onu]

This was one of the best lessons... simple, straightforward lessons... will be rewatching a few times

[@JeromeRufin]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@felixromanjr6242]

You are truly dropping gold to all aspects of the golf game. So appreciative of the work your doing and to the coaches willing to help not only you but everyone who watches your videos

[@JeromeRufin]

Just trying to make the most valuable, impactful, and entertaining golf channel on KZbin and for the S2 Community!

[@mntlblok]

@@JeromeRufin Still engineering softwares, too?? 🙂

[@zaygarcia4796]

Always thank your for allowing us to see what these lesson with too coaches are like.. every swing is different but picking the minds of great golf coaches is such a luxury for your audience! Thank you bro

[@JeromeRufin]

You got it!!

[@murf6023]

I have James book and this was fantastic confirmation and correction of my interpretation of the written instruction Just fantastic Thanks James and Jerome😊

[@aldengold8817]

Amazing. Probably more than anything it helps to know what to expect from a world class coach! I agree best lesson so far. I’ll be watching at least 20 more times

[@RyanBenjamin-wx5gp]

I always wondered where Super Dave Osborne was up to after his stunt career!! In all seriousness this was a great lesson with tons of eye opening content . Love the back and forth from the visuals in the room then implementing it directly into a feel on the chipping green.

[@arthurford829]

Great series young man! It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there like this. But you’re in good hands! Sieckmann is a legend! I’m really learning a lot from these practice routines. Well done!

[@Jredbrain]

LOVE your videos, well explained by your coach and documented by you

[@Winkey_Maximus]

Best video on this channel so far. Great job!

[@JeromeRufin]

Stay tuned this was only part 1 of a 3 part series in Nebraska! Part 2 coming out later this week :)

[@kyleschleter5075]

The best thing I got from this video is. When he said if you get to my age and you haven’t tried anything crazy you are making a mistake. Great video overall.

[@itscoozie_]

This guy is good. Really liked the way he explains stuff

[@coach2cent]

You break it down,and built it up, to give us a chance to really go to the next level........thanks for sharing your life time knowledge, And dedication to your craft....blessed shall your path be in life .....thank you.!

[@JeromeRufin]

LETS GOOOO :)

[@jctobias2916]

What a great coach. Keeping it simple to the foundations. Making it make sense with small adjustments. And gamifying practice to keep it productive and fun and you learn every shot

[@robfitch9365]

Fantastic and so simple. I will definitely be using the set up/path drill - I've had the yips for a few years tbh and only two days bought a dreaded chipper!! Thanks for this content.

[@jimgellein1072]

Your engineer comment was golden. I didn’t know either.

[@jackbowman4788]

Jerome - your best video yet !!

[@AlleyedoisNguyen]

Thanks for another banger of a video. Appreciate all the work you are doing man. Keep it up!

[@davidkemmerer4392]

Wow! One of the better instructional videos on yt!!!

[@JeromeRufin]

🙌🙌🙌

[@ggmorris71]

You get coached from a legend, you get legendary lesson. Love how he pen to paper. Gold pure gold.

[@Akzill]

JR, Your videos are some of the best Golf technique/learning content on KZbin. I just found your channel today, watched this video and the putting lessons with Derek Uyeda... I hope it will help my putting! Putting being the worst part of my game, never really practiced, and I'm low single figure hcp 🤢

[@jimgellein1072]

Thank you. I just ordered the book on Amazon.

[@Revix4]

I’m getting my first golf lesson after Christmas. You’ve inspired me to go from scratch to hopefully single digit handicap 💪

[@JeromeRufin]

You can do it! Let me know your progress.

[@yeolderuckas8568]

So you're trying to get worse? That should be easy.

[@derrickjohnson8895]

Great lesson! Bookmarking this one for reference!

[@arjanpetersen]

great stuff. I read his book as well. My only thing is that I usually just want to use one club for chipping. And that's 58. I lack talent to remember what 54 will do.

[@mntlblok]

After all the fine instructors you've been with to date, how'd you get to this point with Phil's hinge and hold?? Only 12 minutes in so far, but loving this guy. Getting my water bottle out, now. . .

[@mntlblok]

*Dang* this guy is good. I share your (sometimes) entering the sand further behind the ball than intended. He (or you?) seemed to diagnose that you sometimes "fall back". His "fix" seems to be to maintain or to even *increase* the flex in the left knee. I never "feel" that I fell back or that I lost any flex in the left knee, but there's that divot arguing against me. *However*, he earlier points out how "hinge and holders" yip it by having to "dip down". My question is, does anybody know whether dipping with *one* knee is qualitatively different from dipping with two? 🙂 Fascinating that he's so capable of dealing with different degrees of "engineerness" and "feel" on the same issue. Always logical with it, either way. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@Akzill]

@@mntlblok Flexing left knee allows your angle of attack to stay "down" therefore allowing the misses to "land short and roll out" instead of sculling and all those other interesting strikes a neutral angle of attack can produce 😅

[@mntlblok]

@@Akzill Guess I don't see how that is hinge and hold related. *Am* quite familiar with interesting strikes. 🙂

[@TheMarathon26]

Very good video. Drills/technique and explanation are very informative. Love the part about understanding your misses so you're not repeating the same mistakes. My goal is to be a scratch player as well

[@mach5k]

Just stumbled upon your channel, i watch a lot of the usuals and enjoy. But this was extremely helpful. Stuff i am focused on right now. Got my subscription.

[@drknoba]

Man this coach is great! Going to try everything he said. Thanks Jerome!

[@Boi1da__]

Absolutely loved this, Jerome. Thank you for the video!!

[@JeromeRufin]

😊👍

[@luisfontanez7244]

So after your several sessions with different short game coaches, who’s technique fit your game better? I read Sieckmann’s books and made a lot of progress in putting. In general, my chipping is better than average. But decided to give this a chance but the reverse kinematic sequence for chipping inside 30 yards just can figure it out.

[@petermurphy3756]

Can the principle of drawing the club back along the line between the bottles be used for irons and driver?

[@murf6023]

Do you have chipping matrix like your distance wedges

[@MPT458]

Your bunker game is next level!

[@JeromeRufin]

Maybe I should aim for bunkers haha

[@j.d.7050]

Sieckmann is a "sick" coach. Great advice on these shots.

[@fullofshift]

Great video man! Going to work on this tomorrow myself.

[@kswan2234]

A good coach will leave well alone. Just make minor adjustments. I love the fact that he didn't force you to do it HIS WAY in the bunker. Your results were already good. Small changes. Keep it moving!

[@mrsweettones7737]

Bought his books! Looked great.

[@cameronmciver7588]

Thanks for sharing the video!

[@AguiGolfs]

Great lesson!!!!! Thanks J!!!!

[@liutasil1108]

Make it stop Snow, I wanna go out and practice my short game :D Great Content!

[@TagordaGolf]

this is great stuff. thanks Jerome for posting.

[@JeromeRufin]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robynhopkyns6150]

awesome. When did you figure out how hard this challenge was?

[@jimgellein1072]

Ooh, don’t get mad, be curious!

[@brett7011]

I don’t think he will make it to scratch ever but I still like the channel. Probably 5-7 handicap at best

[@Sports4me7]

Editing on the video is top notch

[@JeromeRufin]

Thanks! I’m looking to keep pushing higher quality content! I got a lot of crazy plans for 2024 for the S2 family

[@leo3334]

I learnt a lot

[@tomhsclass2674]

Brilliant video, Jerome!! What a great coach James is! I've since bought his book, short game solution, pure gold, keep the vids coming!! 👍🏌️⛳

[@calumdj]

Awesome! Would love to watch you play different courses around the US

whatever this coach charged you, it was worth double. all these skills will help you for years to come.

[@Aky10108]

Thanks👍👍👍

[@BufiniPinoy]

Good coach.

[@RodneyCervik]

I bought both of Jim Siekman's books years ago. In the chipping book, he lists 14 different errors you might make and how to fix each. I also love his "cock and pop" chip shot out of deep rough.

[@julianparrish8197]

Ayoooo bruh thanks so much for this!!

The #1 coach? He is an excellent coach. However, there is no such thing as a #1 coach as that value is in the eye of the beholder.

[@spencerisverycool]

very cool video!

Thanks

[@caleb1495]

Jerome - greetings from Australia! Absolutely love your channel and been watching your journey since day 25. These last two lessons are pure teaching GOLD - keep up the amazing work and enjoy the grind because “the reward is in the journey” (Jeremy Jones of Jones Snowboarding).

[@JeromeRufin]

You are the real MVP! :)

[@Mackahroney]

My damn chipping is annoying inconsistent haha but my bunker games fine or the lack of practice, alway get the ball out

[@BasedHadrian]

I think you need to go see Parker aka shortgamechef and Joseph Mayo personally

[@jordybeans2392]

Wait, that’s not Dan Grieve? Do you got the second best😉

[@mntlblok]

Also a big Grieve fan. And Ridyard. But, I'll be spending time on this guy's website and see if he surpasses them. Impressed, so far.

[@jbiz447]

Yeah, coach is not critical at all… just matter-of-fact, which is good…

[@timmyotoole6063]

you mash the ball down into the grass with your foot like you're hitting off mats. use your club to place the ball for a better lie bruh

[@christiejd98]

you’re not always going to have a good lie

[@timmyotoole6063]

@@christiejd98 obviously. but he literally steps on the ball out of habit because that's what he has always done during his hours of practice on mats. he was doing it during his technique block when he's to be hitting 3 good shots per club.
