Those greens are unbelievable, tough as anything I've seen . Keep at it 👍

Nice to get an insight to a top quality golfer's round 🙌🏻 the sarcastic "it's in, oh no it's not" sort of commentary makes it even better 😂

Keep at it James! Enjoying your progression and having fun learning from you as well. Cheers!

What a great video. Loved it. Those pin positions were brutal. Keep these videos coming pal. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Good luck with everything James...every facet will come around

Well done James - like you it's coming - couldn't believe the number of approaches that bounced off the back - those greens would drive me crazy! Looking forward to the next tournament - best of luck and keep it going!

Great video James, really makes all the difference that you are keeping the suspense going about the putts made, scores etc.. 👍

Noted 👊

Really like these videos James. The game is starting to come together

These are brilliant, I’d love to see them stay

More coming

[@brekkoh]

Great to see man!

[@slodgeball]

Really enjoying all the videos you're putting up recently. I know your pain about your putting, I don't think you're as bad as what you say you are, you're just one round away from those small misses falling in 👍 keep up the grind mate!

[@thesavagesausage]

Greens looked absolutely brutal. Seems like something will click and you'll start shooting under par! Keep up the progress bro.

[@hughchristie4200]

Great vid , it’s my home club so I feel your pain. Our greens are so challenging but they are so true. Good luck with your career

[@alexhutchison3547]

Keep up the work mate, it’s coming!

[@2cardarsenal310]

James, Can I suggest looking at the hole more when you putt than focusing at the ball? This will help with speed and line. I used this method even with short shots and chipping and my accuracy became much better. I would also spend a lot of time working on 3'-5' putting at a golf tee then moving to putting at hole which by then it will look rather huge and confidence will build. GL my friend.

[@Pentelesh]

Regarding your knockdown -shot problem; I had the similar issue earlier and was able conquer it by thinking I leave the club behind my back as long as it can be. Like playing a draw on full shot and feel like exiting more right. That lowers my hands, shallows the shaft and gives me the control to send it straight. If I would film my shot that probably don't happen but that "feel" cured my left-over-left knowckdown shots.

[@michaelforrester816]

Ignore the muppets James. At least you are giving it a go. This format is spot on and very honest👊

[@marcusharry167]

Hey James, I hate giving tips or “suggestions” I guess, because you are probably a better playing than me at the end of the day... but I also had a issue with missing left with half shots... and I worked out that because I didn’t finish my backswing fully the club face was still partially closed. So I started exaggerating open the club face on half - 3/4 shots and it works great for me. Everyone is different though... Love your channel and you’re doing great mate!!! All the best! 👍🏼

[@3rdgroove]

Love the commentary, and good camera work! Yeah, that 3/4-swing at full speed sounds like a good idea. Missing long that much is a no no. Keeping the ball below the hole seems really important at the Shire.

[@paulcou12]

The greens looked insane man! You're going to get there just keep working hard!!

[@JamesWiltshire]

They are crazy but rolled so well!

[@foregardens9776]

Love these videos mate, ur starting to become much more consistent!

[@darrenbyrne5345]

James one thing that has helped me with my putting it's called "quiet eye" have a look into it for yourself one of the best things to do for putting all the best on the journey man

[@samanthagames1023]

Your putting looks good James and it looks like you have got control of your emotions despite a few interesting shots. Keep trying and I'm sure you will get some decent results soon. 👍

[@DLewis2193]

its all so close, couple better decisions and you're shooting scratch if not better. Putting looks great btw, sooner or later they'll start sinking. Keep it up, best and most honest golf channel by a mile.

[@Jjwalways70]

James it’s clear if you watch this why your half shots go left , your shoulder stops turning bro around and behind , and the club always is way out in front , and to get back to the ball you bring it straight back down to the left . When you full swing your body really turns and you drop down the inside and come out to the ball . Look at replay , 👍🏻.

[@diesel8067]

Keep fighting bro. You got it

[@JamesWiltshire]

Cheers bro!

[@sydneysharpe1128]

Hey James, I have an open stance and found squaring the shoulders made a huge difference. Steve Johnston has an open stance, keep up the good work.

[@JamesWiltshire]

The video of the playoff for this tournament will be online this weekend 👍 thanks for watching guys, under par rounds coming soon!

[@johnwilliamson8110]

Look forward to it .

[@kmcb5269]

Keep at it, class progress so far

[@JamesWiltshire]

Cheers mate!

[@JonathanMundy0]

Tough day, dude. I’ve been in too many of those positions in which you found yourself and I can confirm they are enough to make a grown man cry. Repeatedly. The Shire is a proper tough course and you just found yourself in some positions that make it impossible to score. I still think your game is generally looking much better than a month or two ago. Keep at it. I’d also kind of like to see Flower and Mapp get round The Shire 🤣

[@JamesWiltshire]

Cheers mate yeah it's a top track! Haha imagine the mapp and flowrr at the Shire

[@ahadtanveer1869]

Well played man!

[@keithod]

Nice 1! Keep grinding bud, love it

[@aidenswallow3742]

Yeah nice work James, great vid and fair analysis. I would love for your body language to be better after you play a shot which falls below your own expectations. Your game isnt too far away from where you want it to be but it looked liked you didnt enjoy that one bro. Keep positive even after a bad one, as you said at the end, you need to be in the zone for all 18 holes like the pros. Keep up the good work bro and all the best on the Jamega tour James :)

[@JamesWiltshire]

Yeah I lost it in this one, think it was lack of sleep tbh

[@dyllanlong1439]

"More rims than a brothel..." jesus. I promise you'll get 3-6 under without doing anything different to what you're already doing... Don't overthink it when you do:) Is getting a caddie a bit OTT? I'm just thinking of those little nuggets of where to land it on the greens...

[@JamesWiltshire]

Thanks mate, yeah just continuous tidying up and competitive practice! Hard to get a consistent caddy at this level

[@davidbarnard5873]

Exactly once the small things are worked out the scores liked this will be the nightmare scores

[@ianchantrey8868]

Curious as to what scores your playing partners made, because do you think that how they play and score can affect your play both adversely and helpfully. It’s mind games even between players in the same group, it can affect your game seeing someone hit a certain shot and thinking should I try that or stick to my plan?

[@markbrouk7857]

Be patient brother, keep chugging along! 🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@Jon-yx3xc]

Nice vid as always mate - would love to hear the things you’ve worked on with your short game and explain the changes 👌

[@JamesWiltshire]

Will try and explain

[@ssj9871]

Great vid mate

[@hoselpalooza1254]

i want to see a nature collab between you and alex "al" evans: feeding swans, saluting magpies, all that good shit.

[@jameshazley3855]

I second this, they’d have some great craic!

[@captaincanada8872]

James, you might be frustrated with your putting but your stroke has outstanding tempo, beautiful. Also, you can clearly flight the living shit out a golf ball as I’ve watched repeatedly on your range videos. Your an aggressive swinger so be AGGRESSIVE on half shots. Choke up on the club al Sergio. I started doing this 7 years ago and it took my game to another level. Same strong swing but distance controlled by gripping down. You have all the skill in world to do this. You have an outstanding ability to flight full shots, this will allow you to do the same on shorter ones. A+++ attitude btw.

[@aaronevans8374]

Love the vid! How do you go about starting on these tours and how do you enter? Do you have to turn pro before?

[@derek2787]

As I'm an 18 handicap hacker, I have no idea what it must be like to play at that level, so I may be talking utter tosh, but lack of knowledge has never stopped me spouting off before, so... I imagine that it takes time to get used to and being comfortable being in that environment. I suspect that, with each tournament that you enter, it will become less hard, (though it'll never be easy). I wish you all the very best of luck in your progress.

[@JamesWiltshire]

Yeah you're spot on mate. I think it takes time to adjust anytime you move up the ranks tbh

[@sammyboytsv]

Been enjoying your vids for a while now bro, sending love from Australia! I agree with you in setting up with feet open (but shoulders square to target), definitely helps me clear my body and strike the ball better, sounds counterintuitive but I can swing more in - to - out through the ball relative to the target line, if I try and set up square I end up pulling everything.

[@JamesWiltshire]

Love it!

[@jordanmurray4195]

Quality video mate just keep chipping away the good scores will come

[@brianrizza2045]

I feel your pain mate normally I'm an OK putter but this week it's been horrible and when I do hit a good putt it lips out 😠. I know I say this alot but 6 months ago you would have thrown this round away after your start. Your mental game has improved more then the physical game

[@JamesWiltshire]

Nothing worse is there! Yeah would of been complete hesdloss 😂

[@anthonydeak2524]

Hi James just a quick question by me not fully rotating my hips on my drive can this cos me to slice the ball off to the right

[@b2bbogey735]

Just focus on your game. Its all mental. I remember one late evening on nordic tour. 20 people left and it was getting dark. This was back in 2009 or something. They played on my home course. Lemke won the playoff. He was known for being a long hitter. It was 3rd or 4th playoff hole. I watched him hit his tee shot on a par 5. It was only me and him on that tee. I knew he hit a massive bomb since landing area was 3rd shot landing area. I went home after tee shot but I read day after he won on that hole. He got an invitational to Scandinavian masters European tour event. When I think of it today. There was no drama. Just a golf shot and twilight. But still a whole lot on stake. But to me it was work day after. So it had nothing to do with me. Took my car went home. Never heard of him again until last year now he played on European tour. He must been struggling on challenge tour for years. Funny game! Point being..stay patient.

Have a look at Steve Johnson Eureka golf. He promotes an open stance for the reason you described.

[@glengabriel3107]

James, your swing looks so effortless for the distances you get with each club. would you put that down to lag in your swing and contact over swing speed?

[@JamesWiltshire]

Just looks slow due to tempo I think. I'm still swinging 2 iron at 107 mph

[@rossyoung]

Brilliant video James, always learn something from watching each one! For shots that are 75 yards and in do you go by feel or would you have a stock e.g. 1/2 60 degree for a distance? Cheers!

[@JamesWiltshire]

When it comes to yardages inside that distance I can guess pretty much everyome playing on here will be going by feel. Maybe make some practice swing thinking of the yardage on what swing it needs but when you step in it's all about feel. Making different length swings for yardages can be a good way to start to get feels for yardages on the range though!

[@rossyoung]

@@JamesWiltshirecheers appreciate it! Good luck in the next events!

[@ElanDarcy]

Really enjoying these full course vlogs. If you need to get a guaranteed sleep while travelling I would highly recommend supplementing with melatonin to help you fall asleep and then magnesium bisglycinate to help you get more deep sleep while sleeping. Works extremely well for me and my clients and a much better option than sleeping tablets.

[@leewalrond6941]

Also, fuck everyone who says anything about being a little bit open! Back in the day, when I moved to Spain and played off 4, I met a boy of +3 and he taught me to be a little bit open and he got me down to +1 from that tip! I wish I stilled played but I love watching your progress! Keep it up my bro

[@jamesparsons4848]

Agreed You can hit good shots without a perfect swing as proven by pros Coaches often won’t change a players swing even though it’s no perfect because they will hit the ball better that way

To be honest with the half shots I think you might want to try a less open position Makes pull shots more common this open

[@DeathBySlushPuppy]

The idea of becoming emotionless is a fantasy. Your always going to have emotions on the golf course. Its how you handle them. If you think through what your emotional about you'll eventually find its your logic thats flawed and you really do just have to try harder or change your game in some way.

[@chrisdixon2843]

Don't know if it's how you feel but seems like you're waiting for a bad shot every shot, it's like the reaction is "yep thought that'd happen" as soon as it goes wrong. Demeanour is very different from day one even just 4 holes in with 14 holes to do something brilliant left...progress is there, positivity, positivity, positivity.
