WOLF CREEK GOLF CLUB - PART 3

[@bensteward9006]

Honest evaluation on how golf makes you feel. We are/have all been there and it’s great to see that everyone has those days. #HeadsOff

[@MarkCrossfield]

What’s funny is many men want you just to be brave and “man up” I am not sure they even understand that’s not really meant to be said anymore. 😂😂👍👍

[@bensteward9006]

Mark Crossfield We should all have a heads off if we want too. Sometimes not caring too much makes you play yourself back in without actually realising and by that point you don’t actually care what your score is. Ooohhhhh golf! Love it! Watch out for the keyboard police your a KZbin golfer your not aloud to have emotions!! 😂😂😂 Keep up the good work

[@MarkCrossfield]

Can’t wait for the back nice to hit. It’s funny. Change of tack maybe as if I know how to get the most from a crap day. 😉😉😉

Sounds like sour grapes when your best bud is stomping you and you try to rationalize why you're giving up and "don't care". Really takes the wind out of the victor's sails IMO.

[@B8kedBean]

you would hope he is being paid well

[@BARNSLEYVOL]

I like seeing the “emotion” and understand it (as I do the same) but its is pretty piss poor when you laugh at a Rory duff/bullet/slice but always have an excuse for your poor shots...and also very little credit was given to Dan...he won the holes, I didn’t see one that you gave away

Some of the best vlogs yet, you and Dan as a two ball, very watchable! Love the fact that you show it warts and all, golf always about how you deal with the play on any given day! It isn't an easy game

[@MarkCrossfield]

Thanks bruh. I like the Dan and I dynamic too. He does t let me play crap and he is the worlds best grinder. Great contrast of styles I think.

[@simonthorpe6971]

@@MarkCrossfield Miss Coach obviously, he is the total inspiration for handicappers like myself who struggle with their game and tweak constantly! Emotions are my problem, he never lets the bad shots affect his next shot! Love watching Dan though as he is a consummate golfer looking to improve at every turn, always seem to be a sense of pride in whatever he does. Either way, it all works, 2 or 4 balls, just keep up great work! Favourite thing is watching you vlogging with your eldest ( cant spell her name lol) , shows how good and patient a coach you are. She has a fantastic game now but more importantly, she looks like she loves it. Trying the same approach with my 15 year old, letting him find his own way whilst being there with advice if it helps!

[@scottgrella6997]

Making this comment before watching the vlog#3. #1 & #2 were great! I love desert golf! And living in the Pacific North West, I also love mountain golf. The elevation change, the scenery, everything. Golf is truly such a wonderful activity! Thanks so much for bringing us along with you guys.

[@nickbritton7678]

Gosh lots of haters on here!!! Great course, couple of great blokes kind enough to video and show us how hard golf is. Thanks chaps for sharing. This course is amazing.

[@MyCharlesgreen]

no hate involved. Mark sounding like someone i used to play with...Pretending he does not care and is not trying when he is trying so hard it hurts. Losing also hurts as Mark is proving. Kudos to Mark for actually posting the video as he is having a meltdown.

Wow! That course is a ball buster. I would've run out of balls...cold beer and Fireball take care of the emotional side, lol! Great vlog guys. When my game has gone sideways, I try to remember that I'm lucky and blessed to be able to play. Half the fun is the camaraderie with your pals.

[@robertmccann3779]

Your comment at 14:23 just made my year. Last year I was hitting thousands upon thousands of balls on the driving range, just trying to get at that point where I feel I am in control. Which can never happen, almost making me just stop playing. So thanks for that Mark. In general I think people just misunderstood what you were trying to say...#partofthegame

[@eastbournegirlsfc3962]

Just revisited this series on videos. What a stunning place. Love your “rant” Dan, bless him, has no idea what you’re talking about. Hope , when we get back to “normal” you get to play it again with Coach. Now that would be comedy gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SolomonLi]

I get #headsoff mode. That's when I usually start saying to myself, "Grip it and rip it baby!!!" And then just sit back and enjoy the scenery. It actually makes golf quite enjoyable. There are more things in life that we can't control than we like to believe. My goodness... such a gorgeous track!!! Every shot on camera is just beautiful...

[@HansAaraas]

I'm loving these on course videos. Wolf Creek is a fantastic course, but it's also extremely hard and extremely hot. I thought you guys did great!

[@MarkCrossfield]

Well not sure I did very well at all. And dan gave up strokes gained on the second after he lost his little golf ball. But we had a lot of fun in an amazing part of the world.

[@balthazaar7350]

Wow unreal course greens look solid 😎

[@boubochouzoo]

Haha, after Mark tells Dan exactly how to play the shot: 17:20 "So if he's got his control of distance and chucks this past the pin, little bit of stop and this will roll back to the pin..." 17:50 "So you see what I mean, he's got no control over that, that's just hit it and hope..."

[@Rehle94]

I watch these videos purely for the psychological aspects. This little exchange is almost control freak behaviour. Mark gives Dan information, Dan plays a fantastic shot based on that which pays off really well in this instance - only for it to be instantly put down as a "hit and hope". They must have some fantastic off camera bond.

[@boubochouzoo]

@@Rehle94 Can't read too much into it, he's just frustrated and projecting a bit. He's really just talking to himself. The man needs a hot dog. Dan is giving a good demonstration on how to enjoy playing with an emotional person, btw. Deflecting the negative stuff and embracing the positive.

[@Rehle94]

@@boubochouzoo Agree with that. We all go through tough times and sometimes golf helps and other times it FUCKING WELL HINDERS. #belikedan #atruefriend

[@MarkCrossfield]

I said it was a good shot how many times???? Please count. He was 1 foot from not coming back down and compared to the last 2 holes that where crazy too this was a series of points super up. Why would you ignore the repeated was it twice or even 3 times I said good shot to him???????

[@boubochouzoo]

Because I thought it was a funny dichotomy, you encouraged the control required to get that shot close to the pin, and then after it worked out you emphasized the uncontrollable nature of the outcome. It goes towards showing that you don't really believe that the outcome of a shot is completely out of your control, because you gave Dan the information he needed to get a good result.

[@_Will919]

I know exactly what Mark is saying. If I hit a stretch of really bad holes, I can pretty easily turn off my emotions for the rest of my game. I focus on different things like enjoying being outside and spending time with friends, and I just happen to be hitting golf shots at the same time. Sometimes you gotta say "f*ck it" and get on.

[@MarkCrossfield]

I was shocked Dan didn’t get this. See what happens on the back nine 😉

[@boubochouzoo]

Seems like you two approach the game in two different ways. If the game is getting away from Dan, he maintains his competitive mindset and adjusts his strategy. If the game is getting away from you, you abandon your competitive mindset but maintain your strategy.

[@seth1455]

@@MarkCrossfield the question then is, why not play like that from beginning ? Are you also turning off your course management ? (Dan's point I think) We can see on the day, you can't execute the shot to fit your plan, but if you just hit and hope ??????

We've all been there...it's just your moments are on video. Keep swinging and it will all come back around.

[@jbeebs1]

Mark, you are a great golfer! I get upset quite a bit playing this fantastic game. I have a 20 handicap so obviously I have a lot of those days, however I know I’m better than that, however soon as I have bad back to back holes it seems like I can’t get back on track mentally. A bad day at golf is better than a great day at work! New day tomorrow, enjoy your trip.

Beautiful course and that par 3 was gorgeous. I love desert golf.

[@MarkCrossfield]

[@tyronwebb8701]

Watching a grown man (Mark) sulk like a child is hard to watch... Fair play to Dan , absolute pleasure to watch.

[@MarkCrossfield]

If you can handle male emotions and watch on would live to know your thoughts on how it helped me get back in the game. Remember hitting better shots is influenced by how you handle all situations. What is funny is we talk about that too. Love to hear your thoughts on the other parts. 👍 If you think this is sulking make sure you do t talk to anyone who knows me this is not even close. Haha 😂 🙈🙈🙈

[@tjriecke]

I do what Mark does. Once I realize I am not going to break 80, I don’t try as hard. It helps me relax and I generally start to play better or at least start to have a good time again. However I think great players like Tiger and Jack would keep grinding no matter what.

[@gdouglass10]

A very honest assessment of golf there. Nice one Mr C 👍👍

[@garydavis8213]

[@Stavtok]

"2 up, another gift". That must be how Coach feels. 🥴🤣🤣

[@jhoefer99]

Interesting commentary Mark. I honestly think that would help me in my game. When I start struggling I tend to grind more and increase the pressure on myself instead of just letting it be what it is 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@MarkCrossfield]

Watch what happens on the back nine 😉😉

[@seth1455]

I still don't understand why we can't do both. Pressure is self induced. I see every shot as a chance to play to my potential, obviously I don't succeed, but it doesn't alter my mind set when I walk up to the ball to hit my next shot. Middle of the fairway or out of the trees.

[@matthewcroad7218]

What a stunning course. Somehow I don't thinks Mr Parfields head off moments have come to an end lol

[@SasquatchPrays]

People getting riled up over the way Mark was acting hahaha. Same dude's out here wrapping clubs around trees when they hit it in the water :P I think he explained his position well, often when I'm playing bad, I stop caring as much and just get on with it. No need to have a heart attack on the course over a bad round. Class vid as always boys.

[@jedimike118]

@@MarkCrossfield I think you answered this in a previous video but if coach crossfield was teaching player crossfield, would you tell him to practice the new swing changes on the range then take it to the course when he has confidence on where he was going to hit it?or doing what you doing now and working it out on the course and so be what the score is?I Would assume that both would be fine if you don't take it serious and except you going to make bad scores from time to time?

[@MarkCrossfield]

I would never ever compete swinging like this I would make it work in practice. So where many get lost in here is they think these games matter or mean anything. I don’t compete anymore. I just like trying new things and travelling with mates. Some want to get lost in who is this as who is that. Funny really. This is KZbin

If your approach at the start is to have a good time,do the best you can and just take it as it comes. Then you will never be disappointed! Enjoy being with your friends,enjoy the great course and enjoy the day. Scores take care of them self!

[@chrisnormanable]

I have played Wolf Creek a few times and if your not playing great it can be demoralizing even from the mid-level tee boxes. You have to have the mind set I don't about the score today and just enjoy it, trying to hit the best shots you can with the swing you have. It is a amazing course for anyone that loves golf. In fact the whole Mesquite area where the course is located has a bunch of great courses worth a look as well. Falcon Ridge being another terrific course just to name one.

I understand exactly what you were saying, Mark. When your game goes there's no point in really caring about the result. That just means you have things you need to work on if you're not playing your game to the standard you can play, even at average. Especially when you don't know what your ball flight is doing. Might as well just swing away and enjoy the day and game rather than be perturbed about the result.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Not complicated is it. To be honest I am shocked Dan can’t understand this.

I'll then play aggressively and try and make birdies but if i hit a bad shot or miss a green or something I'll just pick up. I have zero interest in grinding for a score, I'd rather just come back next week and try again. Bad attitude really but its the way i am. Quite often after ive 'given up' i actually end up ripping up the back 9 and posting a decent score 😂😂
