I was lucky enough to follow him on a couple of practice rounds around time he came on tour, absolutely class player, to see him relaxed without scorecard was unreal, what a shot maker, just like seve and ollie

[@ardnfast]

Miguel is bang on. Visualising the line then aiming for a mid way point to roll the ball over is key.

[@PBRStreetGang68]

My favourite player, absolute legend ❤

[@robertflanagan1364]

Always been my favourite

[@MrSapplease]

[@FedericoMassariello]

[@woogaboogawiththegreenteet8436]

migel is a golf god and i love his game and a good cigar,thanks you anna,you do a great service to us you tubers

[@shellcrackerlover5889]

Spanish players are EXCELLENT feel players..this guy should've won majors on the regular tour. He oozes golf talent, lucky guy! I watched him hit driver and then three wood on the range at Valhalla. He was hitting those shots on a rope, buddy. It went on for 25 minutes at least. Baby draw after baby draw, gorgeous golf shots.

[@incitatusdelaruinalparaiso3166]

Right.

[@bigmaxy07]

2:48 hold on don't interrupt Miguel !

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

Along with Phil Mickelson and a few others this guy is straight out the top draw. In the golf world, a true living legend

[@jovialgent9963]

Miguel is the Chuck Norris of golf! 💪⛳😎

[@davidmalone4017]

He is the Man!!!

[@garymclaughin]

Very nice thank you. Bien Si Sawadee.🤠👍

[@wadepatton2433]

I'm struggling with straight-in putts because there is no breaking point. I'll have to work on my in-line points focus. I forgot the hole a long time ago, but I never thought of it that way.

[@stevemoorman9481]

King of cool , great player.

[@lepadus7926]

He is….the most interesting golfer in the world.

[@lincolnshaw8812]

[@Tigersmundo]

*This guy Miguel changed his putter out EVERY week out there go figure.*

[@timmcgrath3995]

How many times do you see English subtitles on YT for someone speaking perfect English.. And then at the other end of the spectrum there's this.

[@TheNYgolfer]

The subtitle software is still thinking about what he said....

[@paulpavich4174]

"forget de hole and just have a conversation with her"

[@sumsar0125]

Hah, that's brilliant mate!!

[@sumsar0125]

Hah, that's brilliant mate!

[@lacoronasl]

Grande el pisha

[@azamarianz9519]

I am sure the girl did not understand a word he said ;)

[@whocareswins1]

Pros don’t get 90% of 6-8 footers. It’s about 70% from 6 feet

[@LionelMessi-ct7tu]

Okay champ! Why don’t you put a video on here.

[@kccodex8931]

Right, it's about 90% from 3 feet. Maybe 50% from 6 feet.

[@dpardo74]

Does entite lesson white smoking a cigar...like a boss

[@videom]

or on the green in two and walk off with a six!!!!! :( kind of my game I want to change.

[@muftydog]

Videom you need to buy the same book i bought by Lee Trevino. It's called 'The Correct Stance To Take On Your Fourth Putt'' :)

[@dmdnruf3244]

Now......let's go have some wine and enjoy love strings on a floating boat of chocolate marshmallow

[@evandh1989]

Retirement is treating Captain Jack Sparrow’s father well

[@MrNivaro34]

She seemed a bit confused with his simple instruction. Also, the pros definitely don't make 6-8 foot putts 90% of the time.

[@hackandslash873]

Take 25, "there it is"

[@whocareswins1]

the tour average from 6' is 66% and the it's 50% from 8'. I think any pro will struggle to get it 90% of the time :/. Just goes to show how hard it is

[@mangoman2148]

I suspect the 90% number came from the 'putting inside 10 feet' stat. The season leader in that stat is usually around the 90% mark. I also hate the stat because it is so misleading to the general golfing public. They don't realise that over a season, about two thirds of putts inside 10 feet are actually inside 3 feet (basically gimmes). They think of tour players holing 90% of their 10-footers, when in reality they make about 40%.

[@josephmeyers9001]

I asked my club pro about that statistic a while ago and his response was that 'average' leaves a lot of room for variation. The leaders on Tour are making a much higher percentage of their 6 and 8 footers, and the players 'on the bubble' are doing much worse. But I agree that 90% is still a difficult goal for them all.

[@interestedbystander196]

But it is also true that putting is probably the only area where an ordinary golfer can play on level terms with the pros. We are never going to drive as far as them, never going to hit our irons as long and straight, never going to go 140 with a wedge and have the ball on a string like the pros do. But we CAN putt like them. This is the one area where a pro has no innate advantage over an ordinary golfer. You'll never outdrive Tiger, DJ, Rory, Henrik, Rosey, Tommy or any one of these guys. Never. But, on a given day, you can outputt them.

[@Richard-dd6sv]

Yum!!

[@alanking5001]

Well that's five minutes I'll never get back

[@interestedbystander196]

And it's also at least 500 three-putts you'll never make again. If you don't think there was anything of value in that, friend, you might as well give up the game.

[@metphmet]

I have done that for the last 35 years ....there might be other things to be fixed.

[@steveperry1344]

he seems like a cool cat. wonder what kind of cigars he smokes.

[@airbus8699]

I saw him smoking "Cohiba number3" few times but I´m sure he changes

[@BigDH28]

Uhhh what did he say?? Lol

[@bigmaxy07]

He said - you know the hole. I am here. You are here. Look at this. You hit it to there. And here? no, you do that.

[@daveb5211]

Err, what?

[@louislazarus9253]

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! You must allow extra borrow on breaking putts because of.....GRAVITY. You see the "picture" in your brain of the line the putt will travel on but in order to get the ball on THAT line, you have to account for the fact that the second the ball leaves your putter, the ball is falling down the hill in the direction the ball is going to break. If you see the break is two balls right on a right to left putt, add another two balls or more so that the instant your ball leaves the putter, it is being acted on the break so it will be left of where you expected it to be. By hitting the ball a little more right, that will put it closer to the line you see in your mind's eye. The Mechanic missed low and left EXACTLY because he doesn't understand this principle of physics and the same happens to most amateurs. Aim higher and you'll make more putts!!!

[@simonhuss9619]

I kinda think miguel knows what he's talking about, he's actually won on tour???

[@christopherfranklin972]

She was totally clueless ...

[@kccodex8931]

Whatcha talking about Willis?

[@fradaja]

He likes to smoke

[@winston9971]

I don’t speak Miguel
