PGA Tour Coach Said I WAS DOING IT ALL WRONG!

This #tourtrucktuesday I head to Phoenix for a Golf Lesson with the highly regarded Martin Chuck.
Martin is based at The Raven Golf Club & is the founder of Tour Striker the creators of the famous Smart Ball:
Check out one of my favorite training devices The SMART BALL: www.tourstrike...
Entering into this lesson I deliberately didn't want to divulge too much about my game in order to obtain a true demonstration as to how a world leading coach would conduct a lesson and manage an individual. The outcome is not what I expected!!
Martin, like all greats coaches, truly understands the relationship between teaching and coaching. He also recognizes the pressures on us all when it comes to time management and how we should set our expectation levels based on the commitment we make to competing.
As you've requested this is a longer form video but from start to finish their are nuggets (multiple onions) of information that will help us all improve. Grab a note pad or your iPhone and capture 5 points that are relevant to you and I guarantee you will improve from the next 40 minutes of KZbin viewing.
Yes the matches are fun and the LIVE fittings are crucial when it comes to equipment but with the season around the corner now is a good line to check in on your technique and prepare as best as you can to play the game.
Hit that #subscribe button and be sure to check out my other uploads, this one was personal to me as I've always wanted to visit Martin and I can't thank him enough for his time and hospitality.
AND REMEMBER GOLF IS A TARGET GAME!

Trottie, great to spend some time with you! Totally enjoyed it. Keep in touch.

[@ABPerlov]

Was the Texan who hits draws and practices hitting fades, Ben Crenshaw?

[@tourstriker]

@@ABPerlov Mark Brooks and I was reversed. He hit fades most shots on course, so he practiced draws.

[@matthewlemon9282]

Gee thanks Martin. Love to hear you talk about the game of golf and the mental part of game. Oh and tried your card trick with the irons and never hit them better. Cheers bud🥂

[@jmdubbs1354]

Martin, you mention 17 out of 20 people that you see have an incorrect grip. Any chance Tour Striker will be releasing some type of a grip trainer?

[@theeyesurgeon1]

this is the calmest dude i’ve ever seen

[@trottiegolf]

100% - isn't that what you want from a coach, I know it is what I need

[@curtissmith821]

I didn't know his location was so close to me, and coincidentally my sister plays there.

[@chrism8013]

Was thinking the same exact thing. Almost catatonic in speech and approach.

[@MNDiesel27]

"Thiink about what a good coach does. They boost people up." Pure gold!

[@xerodeus2337]

my biggest takeaway was him essentially saying "your swing is fantastic, its all mental now"

[@alejandronunez2545]

This is one of the best golf videos ive seen in a long time. The depth of knowledge about the game is incredible. Every player could benefit from watching the whole vid! Well done Trottie

[@andynormand8084]

Martin is almost like a Golf Therapist.....insane how good he is, and how calm his demeanor is. Great video Trottie, glad you went to see him.

[@bensampson1736]

Hitting flighted shots with the ball forward is a game changer. These high level coaches are so good. Thank you for filming

[@hoogification]

Have to say, of all the KZbinrs out there, that is by far the most insightful and common sense advice I’ve heard to date, well done Martin 👏

[@robberzon]

“Find your happy place in space” my favorite quote. Thanks coach!!! ⛳️

[@vincentgraff9871]

Trottie… no joke , this is the best video I have ever seen on any golf lesson.. couldn’t have been better !!

[@JHOLE21]

Best content I’ve seen from you Trottie. THIS is how to talk to these coaches/instructors. Learn so much more from this than even watching a serious lesson.

[@kw12784]

I sure as hell hope it's not how people speak to their coaches

[@michaelh8360]

Trottie, This was by far the best 43:08 minutes I have ever spent watching golf instruction. It was awesome to hear how players of your caliber think and process this game. Please keep them coming.

[@edmcbryde7762]

Man the coolest thing about Martin Chuck he treated me with the same attention as he gave Trottie. I randomly sent him a video not for coaching to show the progress, He broke it down and gave me awesome advice. FOR FREE!!!!! If you get a chance to work with Martin and his team you won't regret it.

[@user-pn8bg3hi8b]

Love your genuine honesty and vulnerability!! Never change!!

[@jimmypickett2449]

He fixed ya in the first few minutes. "I'm seeing a lil squatty". Lol. Stand up, you can't cross the line, your hands can't get outside. Love it. The book of knowledge was opened once more on this channel.

[@daveweigand5935]

Best Live Golf Lesson I have ever seen! Martin Chuck knowledge and calm demeanor is the greatest.

[@delbaker6072]

One of the best 'lesson videos' I've seen in years. Martin feels so old school in the way he approaches teaching, it's great to know these guys still exist. The use of technology has overtaken the dig it out of the dirt and scoring first mentality. I may be making a trip out to AZ to see Martin.

[@kevinoneill2170]

Martin is like - and I mean this in the best way possible - if a nice relaxing Indica edible were a person. I'd like him to come read me stories to fall asleep to before bed. Always appreciate Martin's technical and performance teachings on golf. Thanks for another interesting video Trottie!

[@tourstriker]

😂 🌿

[@kevinoneill2170]

@@tourstriker Martin, maybe we could also have some edibles and share stories about my favorite band ever, The Tragically Hip. Deal?!

[@chunbach3692]

@Kevin - that is a bit creepy. I would not like some dude reading me a bed time story. But what type of bed time story? Enjoy the game - I love watching Martin Chuck’s videos also. So much institutional golf knowledge.

[@curtissmith821]

For me, this the best lesson for a scratch golfer or anyone willing to listen carefully and stop, humble yourself listening to people. Every needs a performance coach!

[@ericstapars2270]

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. The combined golf, IQ in this video is off the charts. I love it.

[@trottiegolf]

The secret is in the sauce, I just played this AM and am starting to build on the lesson. Good things to come.

[@GolfAfter50]

I grew up playing junior golf with Marty in Ontario in the 80s -- so proud to see how well he's done in the game and in his teaching -- great stuff Trottie!

[@Richard-Rodgers]

Chris, this is poss the best lesson you will have ever had and I have seen on KZbin. Today, most guys get too hung up on technical aspects of golf when it is a fluid game which is full of mistakes. Managing these things in our head is the key. Just go and play but manage expectations and we can all be in our happy places. Good man, keep up the good work.

[@kennethyeong1251]

Been following Martin Chuck for years....his greatest strength is his communication skills n calmness n simplifying things...what a coach! Great to see a high level player like you taking lessons....golf is about humility.....like in life.

[@TW_LeftyGolf]

Remember this lesson trot, remember the checklist should be done by the time you stand over the ball. That was the biggest takeaway for me. Seriously. That’s incredibly good advice right there.

[@davidfrost6910]

Very personable, calm, knowledgeable & clear in getting his message across. Great watch.

[@mikaelzuidema4603]

I’ve seen all of his commercials but watching this makes me love him and his demeanor in coaching. What an absolute nugget. I will take a lot away from this and rewatch it a lot!

[@trottiegolf]

He's a proper pro

[@jasonfonte4265]

By far the most educational golf video I've watched in a very long time.

[@MLH0214]

The interaction between you both is Gold. So many nuggets of info. 40:08 nailed it for me. I struggle with this also Trottie. As amateur golfers, I think our expectations of ourselves are too high. So the lesson is to have fun because everyone makes doubles here or there. Talk about a moment of reality. Good stuff.

[@ardobkin]

Phenomenal stuff. Rarely watch coaching videos in their entirety. Great content.

[@trottiegolf]

We don't mess about here @trottiegolf , glad you approve

[@samladuca1071]

The last 12 minutes of this video was some of the most insightful content that I have seen

[@cams3425]

Honestly a long video, but it's what makes golf, golf.... So much of the game is that space between our ears. Great nuggets about simple mental prep and getting your head out of the game (when in reality your just focusing more on the task at hand). Love the reference to Robin WIlliams skit on Golf (The Best!). Thank you Trottie for sharing. Go play to win!

[@SteveHuckle]

It was hilarious to witness coach Chuck try and tell Trottie that he should stop fussing over his swing. There was some great advice there (even if Trottie wouldn't/couldn't be told) - no matter what our level, we are fortunate to be able to go out and play golf, so try and enjoy it; after all, there are more important things to stress over than a double on nine, as well as more important things to celebrate than the bounce-back birdie on ten ;)

[@seekinggreen4481]

🤣 I'm so glad Trottie admitted that he will regurgitate information too quickly.. I've never related to a statement more.. when you nerd out over shit you love, it happens haha - Awesome video as always.

[@JeranPillai]

Best golf coaching video I've watched on KZbin!

[@juggernaut0629]

Think box , play box. Martin is a great teacher. I love his approach to coaching.

[@kevinmcarthur1690]

Such brilliant content Mr.T so much of this is relatable, so much under the radar positive comments from Martin

[@texmechs4961]

That nugget about not setting the club on the ground was an eye-opener for me. Thanks Chuck and of course Trottie!!!

[@sergiomendez5318]

Definitely one of the best videos I've seen in a long time, I appreciated Trottie exposing his vulnerabilities and the simple (yet amazing) advice given by Martin. Definitely saved in the favorite folder.

[@howardkennerley4679]

Fascinating , a great lesson in reality and not dwelling on negatives .

[@jdbruin91]

Best Trottie Golf vid to date, will take a lot (LOT) of this and put to use in my own practice and play. Don't let perfection get in the way of a good swing, pre-shot routine and "I get to go hit it again".

[@cobra1995xx]

i feel like a bandit that i got to watch this great chat for free here !!!! love it! 🤘

[@geoffreycheeping3902]

This is the best golf video I've seen in a really long time.

[@rockrugbyref]

Great video, great lesson for all of us. BTW, "Pressure is a privilege" is attributed to Billie Jean King. It's a plaque in the player's walk way at the US Open (Tennis).

[@tourstriker]

Cool! Didn't know that... She was phenomenal.

[@drewt2477]

Really like the technical talk. It's different then any coaching type video I've seen

[@dustingariepy2056]

Fuck, this is the best golf video I've ever watched. Thank you. Time to get out of my own way now.

[@trottiegolf]

YEA BAYBEE, LOVE THAT

[@JackMunro-fv4lx]

This was really, really good to watch,

[@trottiegolf]

Thx man. This was content I wanted to capture, I'm glad my hardcore following are enjoying this one.

[@gregmorningstar]

Thanks Trottie! Fantastic content! I wish this type of stuff was talked about more with golf! Everybody wants a magical shortcut to playing golf like a professional without putting in the hard work on ALL fronts (including the mental aspect). This all just reinforces how important it is to practice your skills, develop a pre-shot routine, have a strong mental game/attitude and how positive you carry on with your day/round/whatever even after hitting shots that didn't go where you intended.

[@frankdiciaula3194]

Martin Chuck is an awesome coach! What a great video. Thanks Trottie.

[@chrisbye8203]

The most noticeable change was your body language Trottie by the end of the video. What a great perspective Martin has.

[@toddaddison5327]

I needed that lesson 😊 My stress level just dropped in half over ball.

[@dougmael]

Trottie - I am absolutely hooked on you and your channel. I am glad that both Ian Fraser and my buddies on MyGolfSpy recommended you and your channel! I’m a professional clubfitter, who has been doing it for more than 30 years and who worked in the tour trailers for more than a decade (and a 75 year old golfer who carries what you would call a “sandbagging” 14 handicap), and in just watching three of your videos I have learned a lot and confirmed lots more that I have stored in my mental encyclopedia of clubfitting and golf swing data. Great channel and fantastic content, mate!!!

[@trottiegolf]

LOVE ALL OF THAT ✊🚚

[@alexpeers9519]

Fabulous to watch Trottie enjoy the ride

[@pedroramsey]

this was very unique and nice to watch and learn from the mindset that we should all have

[@simonplumb264]

“If I don’t have it I don’t hit it” get that on a T-shirt Trottie , that is gold.

[@trottiegolf]

Martin prolly dropped a dozen T shirt designs during the time I was with him.

[@furniturethingskimmel5053]

Your strikes just sound better after a few swings with his advice. That crisp tour sound!!

[@danielfrancoeur8345]

Your best tour truck tuesday ever.

[@brawlersports]

This is a great video, I know the way you feel about trying to be perfect all the time, trying to teach myself to let it go and just play this mad game too mate, best video I’ve seen in a long time

[@Dreama40]

Perfection is the enemy of good! I like how Martin was trying to get this message across to Trottie who has a great swing but by the looks tends to over analyse to much, but understandable when you look how technical he has to be with club fitting but when it comes to the swing maybe a little more feel and less over thinking!! Martin's philosophy is basically step into the shot with full confidence and intent and accept the outcome good bad or indifferent and move on to the next shot, repeat, such a great way to approach the game. Great coach and teacher! Good video Trottie thanks for sharing.

[@tombstonefpv9053]

That was great. I got some real mental nuggets from that session.

[@1cleandude]

Epic Trottie and Martin bless you both!🙏🙏🙏

[@jordan3305]

This is something that resonates with me, I hit my worst shots when I think over the ball. I have had many lessons and everytime they say my swing looks solid and just have a few minor tweaks, but when I get on the course I can’t get myself to just set up and swing.

[@ykhwaz]

one of the best videos i've seen. i think there's needs to be more about the mental side of the game

[@geok8193]

What an awesome video. So cool to geek out on Golf the knowledge you have is freaking awesome. What a great watch. Trottie ….swing the club head play golf ..your swing is awesome

[@mdarnell08]

Incredible video! Like any career or hobby, the losses or errant shots are always thought of more than the wins and made shots. This is how you continue to improve. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@VYDZ]

Starting my 3rd year and I can always tell who has had to many lessons. They often tell me how much better I can be if I did the same. I always ask them to explain their swing in the least amount of words.

[@MarkusWenger]

what a great session and vlog - congrats and it will help a lot😊

[@nigelphillips2846]

Amazing vlog Trottie Totally changed my view on Martin (a view from the golf ads might i say ) i will take so much from this ,and not a swing change mentioned but, Play Golf not Play Swing .Thanks

[@traderbean-btc485]

Good stuff Trott! Martin is the GOAT

[@heavyp03]

[@trottiegolf]

Totally agree

[@ElvisPriscillaPresley]

Excellent Excellent and Excellent.

[@VG32123]

So many golfers chase aesthetics rather than playing the game to score. You've got to have a game you can trust and be able to take to the course.

Great lesson in simplification trottie

Martin is a awesome guy my husband Play the Canadian tour against him and the challenge tour with you great to see you guys

great video and conversation. Martin seems to be doing it right. Great teacher and listener. Loved it.

[@corymaillett8633]

Biggest lightbulb moment for me watching your videos the last couple months is I needed a grip change. This season it’s the thing I’m trying to keep consistent. Small steps in going from 13 to single digits. Keep up the great work!

[@jxshkxng]

most informative golf vid ive ever watched xo

[@pvsson]

This is amazing and helpful! I end up playing golf swing more often than playing golf. Time to focus on the target instead of the swing 😉

[@2cardarsenal310]

ABSOLUTE great lesson Trottie! Enjoyed every minute and very educational! The Tap Tap Tap, never grounded reminded me of Nicklaus.

[@ThrifTeeGolf]

This is easily one of the best video advice any golfer at any level can take away from. The fixation on the perfect swing has taken over way too much and even I'm guilty of it. So much that it's ruined my outcome and losing the simple part of the game which is just to play. I need to take this and dial it back to where I started and just focus more on outcome and not so much on the technical aspect. Thanks Trottie for this!!🙏🏾🙏🏾 special thanks to the coach 🔥🙌🏾

[@telstar72]

[@aubreymautrin]

Best coaching video ever.

[@erik2446]

Cool cucumber. Awesome content. Thanks Trottie! 🔥

[@davidbray617]

The irony for me is his coaching is like your club fitting. You don’t weigh your guys down with non-critical minutiae. Good players needing or wanting to see a different flight window, you make a tweak here, maybe a different shaft and you stop talking and call it a day. Good is Good, don’t screw it up and they trust you. Nice one here, thanks.

[@trottiegolf]

Thank you David, that's an amazing compliment as Martin's style is one I try to learn from.

[@chriskoumas8339]

Trottie, great video and Martin is super chill wow.. Hovering the clubs worked for me and I even do it with the putter too. Great content…

[@allenwood5411]

I've watch you on other channels, Trottie, but this video earned you a sub... As an aside, I remember watching Martin and Paige play Crossy and Lockey a long time ago. That's when I started looking for more Martin Chuck content (and Paige, too 😉). Anyway, LOVED this video and looking forward to more! Cheers 🍻
