Karl's 7-under 29 on the Back 9

[@Newmyyy]

332 yard drive at 13 years old. Here I am at 22 can barely get 300. Phenomenal swing, that Karl. Looking forward to seeing you on TV on the tour here in no time.

[@KarlGolf]

+Erik Newman Thanks Erik.

[@robert_t_golf]

that's what I thought too!

[@betavulgaris7888]

I shoot 29 on the front 2 usually.

[@OutCBrittosubscribe]

Beta Vulgaris 😂😂

[@chronicduccy5482]

Beta Vulgaris yea right

[@andydandy7279]

R.E.S Xtreme I think what he’s saying is he usually shoots 29 on the first 2 holes... it’s a common joke when average players watch really good players

[@samuelbm87]

And cheers to you poppy if you're his old man, super into it without being an obnoxious sports parent, good analysis

[@KarlGolf]

+samuelbm87 Thanks Samuel. I get accused by some of being biased towards Karl and by others of being too critical, so I keep an open mind with the comments that come in because Karl's fans are entitled to their own opinion. Because I've always coached Karl I know what he's expecting to try to achieve with certain shots despite me being (at times) 200- 300 yards away and using the camera zoom to get the Tee shot, so my commentary is based on what he was expecting as a result. What a lot of folks don't always understand is that Karl's expectations are extremely high- higher than 99% of club golfers, but if we look back at players like Serena Williams or Jordan Spieth at this age, they had the same lofty expectations. Those juniors who are happy with mediocrity will undoubtedly enjoy the game, but will never rise to the top of their sport, so I respect Karl's refusal to settle for less than perfect. That quality can't be taught- even as a toddler down at the playground, Karl always tried to climb the tallest castle, or get across the obstacles as quickly as he could.He would ride his bike as fast as he could when we'd cycle every day despite me asking him to slow down, so that determination has always been there. It's my job as his parent to understand Karl, (which I believe I do), and to work with that. Cheers, Paul (Karl's Dad)

[@luca1129lp]

samuelbm87 yea I agree is Dad seems really fair and judges him while when watching and always knows what he should be trying to do & what he is capable of doing so he for sure is a great camera guy commentates very well & definitely isn't to hard on him or too harsh on him he pushes him just a lil bit but that's only because he knows how great of a player his son is when he plays his best I mean he has seen more of his golf shots then anyone so his dad knows what he can do!

[@alyssadurbin8353]

I have followed Karl for years. I am an average golfer, but I broke 80 for the first time ever, recently. It reminded me to come back and watch some old Karl highlights. As I like to tell my dad, my favorite golfers are Rickie Fowler and Karl Vilips. I am waiting for the day that they compete against each other!

[@KarlGolf]

Nice of you to say that about Karl. You'll likely see Karl having at least 1 tour appearance during the 20/21 tour season.

[@jackashcroft7791]

Quality golf! I'll be looking out for Karl on the PGA Tour in a few years time!

[@Jim-uy2qe]

Such a natural swing. What a young talent, keep having fun Karl. And no I didnt forget about the great camera and commentary work .

[@ongta1265]

I love watching your videos of Karl playing golf. The smile to his dad at 12:47 is priceless, Karl's dad must me very happy. Great job and congratulate to both. 🙏

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks for that. To have shot that score without having played the course before was pretty neat.

[@dusty2613]

This kid is unreal! Im gonna tell my golfing buddies about you. Ill see you on tv in about 6 years

[@bradygerothanas5685]

Not sure how I stumbled across this video but... 5 years later he’s a standout at Stanford getting tv time

[@Lyf.512]

[@stuartbright1276]

Wow! great play Karl. That putter was on fire! And what an amazing feeling it must be for dad to watch this accomplishment. Nicely done with the video, capturing shots, map view cut scenes, commentary.. really the whole thing. Good luck

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks Stuart, It certainly was. It was also on fire the previous tournament with back-to-back 65's and a 14-shot win against the 18-year-olds on a Donald Ross layout in Pinehurst. That round is also on video immediately before the one you just viewed. Cheers

[@pamelaadams8789]

I am a 14 year old golfer and may I say Karl is one of the best golfers I have ever seen at this age group

[@aloefgren]

[@gadxxxx]

Congratulations Karl. Fantastic effort for a 13 year-old. Probably never been done before. Keep up your hard practice sessions and keep shooting the lights out. :-)

[@KarlGolf]

Geoff Dunstan Thanks Geoff. Say hi to everyone in Melbourne for us mate. Cheers

[@thomastranter8449]

Watching these old vids of Karl, it is crazy to see how much power he can generate!

[@KarlGolf]

Karl used a lot more "Lag" when he was younger, and it was that Lag which generated that clubhead speed he developed to carry the ball 285 yards despite being just 13 years old. On the next round he carried his Drive on to the front of that 295 yard uphill Par 4.

[@TheDailyBoost]

Wow great work. It's nice when a round comes together like that. On the other hand someone needs to teach his playing partners some etiquette, jumping over Karl's line, walking around while he is mid swing, checking their bag mid swing.

[@Grahamk149]

My coach 2 years ago taught me etiquette instead of golf You can be a great golfer but it doesn't mean anything if your disqualified

[@ianhamilton-arvisais2424]

+graham klenke no chill? You guys act like your sick. Obviously if you need a 4 handicap and you're 14 then your coach should be teaching you a little more about golf than the etiquette. Obviously Karl could handle that his playing partners were doing that, so I don't know why you should

[@cheater7210]

Hi Karl why is that great big fan at the back of the green?? Great swing I`m sure your going to be a Tour winner!!!

[@KarlGolf]

They're to stop the Greens getting too hot in the humid South. I originally thought that they were to keep the leaves off. LOL Cheers (Karl's Dad).

[@garysmith70]

WOW that`s just the opposite of here up North in England UK.We get the much rain sometimes we need a large spoon to pop the ball up out of it`s pitch mark on the green hehe.

[@treycarter4045]

granted I'm not as good as karl but I get where yall come from as far as financials go I'm 17 years old and go to school full time and work 2 jobs over the summer to help bring in a little more money in but I find time for golf in the midst of it all. so I'm trying to put myself out there this year and build a solid resume for colleges in hopes one will pick me up and I can better myself through an education somewhere.

[@Gam3Junkie]

I've seen this suggestion before but you should make a Q&A video where both you and Karl answer questions from the viewers/fans. Maybe a separate video for the questions also. Cheers from Norway

[@KarlGolf]

+Gam3Junkie Karl did one of those back in November, but we'll try to do another one sometime over the US summer. Cheers

[@danielhan9712]

I currently am 15 with a 7 handicap. I feel like a fool when I watch Karl!

[@Grahamk149]

I'm 14 with a eleven handicap, he really does show us up doesn't he

[@TheBreakaway88]

+Dan Han same 16 with a 4 handicap and it amazes me the things Karl can do

[@GolferDude20001]

+Dan Han I just turned 15 and have a 9 handicap, makes me look like shit. there was a point when i was like 8 and I once shot a 4 over 38 on the front nine at my course and was having hopes of making tour some day but now I'm happy to shoot around 78 to 75. This kind of thing shows how important a good short game is because I'm the longest junior at my club, I can hit a driver over 300 and I hit a 7 iron around 180 yet if I miss the green I almost always bogey

[@Alex-xe4eo]

Well I guess I'll join also. I'm 16 years old and I have a 5 handicap, i hit it bout 280 yards also and iron 7 bout 175 yards, but my shortgame is a pain also.

[@presstrrr]

I'm 10 with a +3 from the tips my drives go about 260 and I had only 25 putts the other day

[@billymills314]

Wish Carl the best,fantastic with a fantastic attitude,it's a shame the game often comes down to how much money you have,was in a similar position myself (+2 @15 or 16 years of age etc) expenses only get higher when you turn pro,what your doing with KZbin is great,raising his exposure like this gives you the best opportunity of getting Karl a strong sponsor when he does turn professional

[@KarlGolf]

Thanks Billy. That's pretty much what they said on the Golf Channel's Morning Drive when Karl was on a few days ago. See www.golfchannel.com/video/australian-junior-vilips-crushes-driver-simulator/ In fact, it was Karl's KZbin channel that got him his scholarships to date. Cheers

[@betavulgaris7888]

Whiteboy CurryII Ah i get it now. Dude....they lost their home and his dad struggled to even pay for his Visa to be able to get him to these events. They are good examples of great men in that they don't go begging for sympathy, or pity, or money, but people who are aware of their situation could help them out. I've said it before and i'll say it again - it should be the responsibility of tour pros to sponsor 2 or 3 promising amateurs from poor backgrounds from their home country.

[@aaronkhera9468]

Oh ok so does he not compete in any national events? Because having played in them I know you need a certain handicap to qualify for them. When I played in the reed trophy 2 years ago you had to be 5.4 or below. ( reed trophy- under 14 national event, category A)

[@daury12]

Do you use Girl Irons or normal for men, or special made for you? My Trainer mean, i better play with Girl Irons (i am 14) . Sorry for mit bad English:)

[@KarlGolf]

Karl, you could easily be the next Jason Day of golf. One question or actually a few 1. What tees does Karl play from on a regular basis? 2. What kind of steroid does Karl use? (HAHA) 3. What inspired him to start playing golf? 4. Can I send him my swing so he can give me some pointers? Thanks! Keep it up Koala Karl!! Hope to maybe play a round with u someday!!

[@smn1129]

The noise of his driver scares me. Also, great job!

[@KarlGolf]

That was 2015 when Karl was just 13 years old. As Karl's grown to now be 18, we've gradually firmed up both the flex and the tip of his Driver at each fitting so that he has gotten more accurate whilst gaining a little bit of yardage each year. It's that balance between distance and accuracy that all golfers need to get to their respective "Happy place" with the big stick. A good example is Bryson DC. He's hitting it a country mile now, but when he's off, he's playing his next shot from the next suburb.

[@cockywatchman1976]

Superb!

[@benm177]

Can you do a video on how to lower scores?

[@KarlGolf]

Karl can't do instructional videos on his channel now. He actually had to get special permission to do the Golfing World TV series. It's all to do with the level that Karl is approaching which will restrict what he can and can't do. Cheers
