This was great, thanks, I have been researching "golf lessons for kids" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.

[@josepirela1920]

This is glorious, I've been looking for "how to putt well" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got cool results with it.

[@ajnasu5099]

here's a few ideas for how to play golf better Practise your golf swing in slow motion Position your feet correctly Learn the correct body posture (I learned these and the reasons they work on Gavs Golf Tactic site )

[@kimberlycanelon9596]

Excellent video content! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 at very last got astronomical success with it.

[@talk2mrjones]

Thanks a million Adam I followed your advice and went from 37 putts to 29 putts in one round after practicing this technique for 2hrs. Best putting advice ever!! I used to employ the rocking shoulders stroke but now I'm all about fixed arms and core. Everything you say is right. Less moving parts means less room for error and more consistency. Thanks again.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment. 29putts is awfully good. Best, Adam

[@CalebKunze-u6q]

Very helpful. It improved my putting strokes.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear it

[@Mattoberhofer]

finally found someone who talks about what muscles to use and what to feel in the putting stroke woohoo

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad you found the video helpful Matt Best, Adam

[@bigdumbanimal23]

Thank you so much for this! I can read breaks very well but have always struggled with the stroke, having been taught to roll the shoulders. Which meant letting my shoulders drive the action. Now it makes sense to me, because of your instruction! The shoulder are far from the ball and the core is closer. I went to the practice green and was draining more close putts than ever before!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear it Mark!Best, Adam

[@pauloverett8652]

You're the best Mr. B! Always the simplest, or shall I say the most refined informative lessons!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Paul

[@workout868join8]

Liked and subscribed! Having never seen this channel before, I was working out and working on golf technique in front of the mirror at home. Found this video and was awesomely amazed at how the putting instruction in this video was perfectly synced to what I was just working on (core rotation, holding the club in front of me, not elongating or scooping) Solid fundamentals are universal

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much, and glad you enjoyed the video. All the best, Adam

[@larrysullivan8890]

Packed more excellent info into 4:00 than most " gurus" do in 15 !

Thanks very much Larry. All the best, Adam

[@leadier]

Just got back into golf after 16 years. only 32 just now so should still have a good few years run at it. This putting tip is so obvious thank you for pointing it out

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks, hope your game goes well. Best, Adam

[@phildeeha]

Adam, I've been on a roll watching all your videos. You are a great teacher. The way you explain things is clear and concise and the examples you give are always very relatable and applicable. Thank you.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much for the kind comment Phil. All the best, Adam

[@ginamagsino654]

Good day sir, when I watched your video the putting techniques, I apply it the next day. I belp me a lot. Thank you. I'm a caddie here in the Philippines.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the note Gina All the best, Adam

[@seniorswing8441]

About the first basic of using interior parts, a big thank: I was on a guess what muscle on the back to employ! Cheers

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks, and glad you liked the video. Best, Adam

[@paulopaul157]

This is true as I have experienced what he is teaching. Putting is very difficult part of golf.

Wow!!!! Amazing just sunk 12 out of 12. Have always had the problem of the putter never feeling the same. Not anymore this is perfect for me sure it won’t work for everyone but I love it!!!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad you made progress Jed! Best, Adam

[@Jclarkabilene]

Very helpful, basic and uncomplicated tip on consistent distance from trunk to club and posture.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Jim, glad you liked the video Best, Adam

[@fr.paulb.9354]

I had poor results trying to lock-in my arms and keep them "dead" as per Dave Pelz and rock the shoulders. Your instruction to use the core is more of a solid feel than using shoulders with soft arms for a putting stroke. Your tip , albeit also with soft arms, also works better than an arms-dominated-then-shoulders putting stroke which some recommend. The core is indeed the power source, which is also exactly how I bring the club in the takeaway on my regular swing and indeed, for the entire back-swing, so this was a welcome tip because I can keep the same movement from the "box" (core) and not the "rectangle" (the shoulders).

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Paul, glad you liked the video. All the best, Adam

[@richardaguttman]

Just what I needed, questions answered~!! :)😎

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad the video was helpful to you Richard

[@Numi_1996]

You are correct. I will use your advise.

Thanks, hope you make good progress Best, Adam

[@Duck-kk7vp]

thank you for the tips sir! 👌😁

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad you find them helpful. Best, Adam

[@jacobuscoetzee3261]

Adam I really enjoy you’re channel. Pls can u explain what the spine do during a putting stroke . Does the spine move from left to right or does the spine turn clock wise and anti clock wise . Does the pelvis move at all ?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Jacob. My thinking is hips and spine stable, upper torso pivoting around stable spine

[@kpreston55]

Thanks Shue, best of luck. Adam

[@visarma9673]

I’d be interested in what your thoughts were of the STOW STICK golf accessory…. It sure has made a difference in my putting movements…. The resistance band also helped out in keeping my hands out of my game… “Thank You” for your for your well explained video..

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks. I’m afraid I’m not familiar with the Stow Stick, sorry

[@visarma9673]

Great tool.. resistance trainer.. brought my handicap to a plus handicap. I also use it to protect my clubs when in a golf travel bag. Also I keep my headcovers on to store while I’m using the club. Don’t lose hesdcovers anymore. Thanks for responding.

[@williamharless4654]

Very clear demonstration. Thanks.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks William, glad it was helpful to you. Best, Adam

[@Maxibon_25_]

This is great advice, my Dad told me another tip for putting, when you land the ball on the green, you wanna try to make 2 strokes at the most, the first to get really close to the hole and the second stroke to be a follow up shot so it goes in. If that isn't the case for anyone then it wouldn't hurt to have another go.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Sounds good, thanks for the comment. Best, Adam

[@williamlundrigan7209]

This was really helpful. I tend to anticipate contact and I wind up pushing the ball. This drill cleaned that up.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear it William Best, Adam

[@peteralund]

He is now 3 times teacher of the year so he must be doing sumtin right

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

[@timwv3699]

thank you, this tip has me hitting the putts more solid and consistent

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad to hear it. Best, Adam

[@Tom-ok2rh]

I have been struggling lately with my putting and noticed I have been concentrating too much on what the head of my putter is doing and basically trying to manipulate it without actually making it swing like it should. I tried this today and everything improved immediately. Even though it might not be easy to keep the handle the same distance from your center point at least when you try it sure beats the putter waving all over the place.. Thanks for the tip👍

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Tom, glad you made progress Best, Adam

[@haroldhill5055]

Thanks for the tips. After struggling with near misses, I tried this technique and it worked well to help me along the road to success with putting again. Your instructions are organized in a clear understandable fashion. Happy New Year to you and your staff!

So basic yet so brilliant! I can't wait to try your advice.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

I hope it goes well for you

[@jamiegunn20]

I used these tips on the practice putting green at my course today with great success. I felt like it had taken a lot of other thoughts out of the stroke and left me with only line and distance to think about. Thanks Adam, any videos on green reading would be much appreciated

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Jamie, Thanks, I'm glad the video was helpful for you. At www.scratchgolfacademy.com I have video courses in each aspect of the game. If it's of interest the course on putting covers different grips, posture, stroke in detail, green reading, reading grain, distance control and drills for practice at course and at home. Best, Adam

[@NonnyStrikes]

Instantly grabbed putter when you talked about core motion. I was swaying before because my arms were out too much. This has already allowed me to feel more with my legs as well. I can't wait to go out and try this!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad you found the video helpful Johnny. Best, Adam

[@NonnyStrikes]

@@Scratchgolfacademy By the way, for an update ... I'm sinking 3 out of 6 from 40 ft! Something clicked by watching this video that transferred over to the other clubs as well. Very much appreciate you and aspire to be an instructor some day!

[@yayarea5109]

man had my best session so far thanks to you ..been playing for less then a month ...today I did 22 shots over , 2 par and had chance for 3 more par but messed up on the green ....and thats why I'm watching this video

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad you're having some success! Best, Adam

[@garyturner1871]

I used the putting tip about turning your core in my full swing and it worked a treat , hit some really good shots . Todays event was an Ambrose so too early to tell about the core in putting .

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad you played better Gary. Thanks for your interest in the videos.Best, Adam

[@mikek3638]

I don't know why it helps me, but I try to tell myself to make my arms like stone. I only pivot with the torso to move the club. Wrists are locked. Helps me if I relax and get my elbows out a little bit too. Your video was consistent with all those things I've learned prior. Thanks

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment Mike. All the best, Adam

[@CharlesSlater-mq2jz]

Awesome video new subscriber

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Charles

[@mablanning]

this is genius! been putting in the hall during the lockdown with no consistency. turning your sternum, soft hands, with the arms touching the body, takes hands, arms and shoulders out of it and the putting is miles better!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment Michael. All the best, Adam

[@andyroos5090]

Love this

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Andy. All the best, Adam

[@robroy25]

I like this tip....I have always had a "wristy" stroke to my putts because I can feel the putt more in my hands. When I try and "lock" my wrists I lose all feeling....and feel as though I have a lump of 4 x 2 in my hands. I agree about the need for consistency....will keep on trying. Cheers.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Rob. I think the best putters do feel the club with their hands (that's where you have the most feel), they just get the power for the stroke from their core. Hope this helps. Best, Adam

[@robroy25]

Many thanks for your reply Adam, I am stuck between two minds.....should I continue with my wristy movement and incorporate your core movement.....or should I grin and bear it and lock my wrists with the core movement? Cheers.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Rob, I wouldn't think 'lock' just stable and passive. Best Adam

[@robroy25]

Scratch Golf Academy I like that.....thank you so much for your time. Cheers. Rob

[@lorielliott9217]

Very good putting video, just one note- arc should match the lie angle of the putter.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment Lori Best, Adam

[@airport4967]

Adam, I am right handed, is there a primary hand used to putt? By that I mean is there more feel (grip pressure) in the right hand for a right handed golfer? Or are both hands on the putter with the same pressure? Thanks, love your videos

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks, I’d say whatever feel works for you is fine All the best, Adam

[@shanghaichase7784]

Thank you! I found this extremely enlightening.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Nick, glad to hear it! Best, Adam

[@jeffreyyoungblood7438]

Adam, how do you do this and avoid leg movement? It seems moving the core encourages leg movement

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Jeffrey, Not necessarily, you have to get a feel for separating the upper and lower. Try making some practice strokes with your rear end against a wall. I hope this helps. Best, Adam

[@hliddle]

Right, legs can move and head as well.

[@FG-gh7wv]

I suffer from yips. I have tried using shoulders but occasionally on short putts I still block putts badly. I will try your method.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Hope you make good progress Frank. All the best, Adam

[@priayief]

Great! Deserves more views!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Captain Ron, thanks very much! Best, Adam

[@khagendravarada9632]

I like the tip ......motion coming from your interior and centre of your body , hope it improves my putting

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks, I hope it does too. Best, Adam

[@wayneguerin2362]

Seeing and matching the clubface alignment to the actual beginning target line. Locking the alignment of your clubface on that line. Using only one simple natural motion to generate force. Zero core motion. And a putter designed to compliment these actions. One hundred percent better than any conventional system for consistently rolling putts. And easy to check for problems. Thinking I might share the system if anyone is interested.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment, and for watching the video. Best, Adam

[@chadcarrstaff3005]

i find myself yanking the ball left or pushing it right from time to time. I think the issue might be not connecting my triceps to my ribcage. Good tip!

[@andresgobbato6074]

I ask, is the same tips for long putters???

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Yes, pretty much the same

[@byronyep]

Adam - great video and love your content, thanks again for all the help! I'm getting confused by content out there about whether to pendulum or not for putting - so equal back/forward stroke. Some say yes, some say no. Any help would be great, thanks

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much. Yes, I like a pendulum. Remember though a true pendulum does have a natural (gravitational) acceleration to it, top speed is reached at the bottom of the arc. Often people wrongly picture a pendulum stroke as same speed throughout. Hope this helps a little. Best, Adam

[@byronyep]

thanks Adam!

[@rgmccarthy]

Thank you for the tip. Seems like great information.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad you liked the video Robert. All the best, Adam

[@brandonmcnamara2491]

This and the other putting video I've seen from Adam has completely changed my putting game. I've been waiting for an instructional video that tells me how to stand over the ball and what to do with my arms instead of giving you drills to practice without stating what to do with your setup and the mechanics of a consistent swing! This, along with Adam's other videos, have taken several strokes off my handicap.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Glad you are making such good progress Brandon. Best, Adam

[@MurrayWDick]

Thanks Erskine, glad you find the videos helpful. Best, Adam

[@roadman1823]

Hei great videos as always!!! When start the stroke my putter does not touch the ground because i feel like if i do that the putter is blocked by the green and i loose rithm. On the other site keeping the putter above the ground of maybe 1 cm i feel a wobbling motion not very solid. Do you suggest to start with the putter touching the ground? Thanks!!!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks. It's really personal preference, whatever helps you make a smooth stroke. It's common to see top players rest putter on ground until just before stroke then lift it a little. Best, Adam

[@김성수-d9l3k]

[memo for putting] 1. 퍼팅을 위한 움직임은 내부에서 나와와 한다 (not from 어깨/팔, but from central/abdominal inner core, with the feeling at inside) 2. Putter와 body 사이의 거리가 언제나 일정해야 한다 (pendulum이 진자운도을 하듯이). - 팔을 몸에 약간 붙인다. - 진자운동처럼 축은 항상 움직이지 않고 고정되어 있어야 한다. - 풀 샷 때보다 앞으로 좀 더 숙이면, 좀 더 곧은 직선의 stroke를 만들어 낼 수 있다.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

I'm sorry, but I only speak English. Thanks for watching the video, and best success for your game. Adam

[@wtfisindahaus]

Hello - loving the videos as always. I'm really struggling with going past parallel in my full shots. I try and get a good hip turn and shoulder turn - which I do easily enough but then I lift too much with the hands and I end up with the club head way over and in front. Do you have any drills / swing thoughts about making sure you don't swing too far back? Where should I focus on getting the turn from? I get s really nice weight transition and rotation with the hips in my downswing but because my club is too far around it makes it very difficult to sync up and hit pure shots. Thanks!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment. I'd encourage you to make sure the club is in good position at about hip high in your backswing. Often the golfer uses hands too much early and the club gets too flat, or horizontal at that point (down target line view), the result is it needs to be lifted to go up and get back on plane. John Daly did this and had a long and across line backswing. Of course I'm guessing at this point.If it's of interest I will be offering full video courses at www.scratchgolfacademy.com in about a month. The 'Fundamental Components' section has all the building blocks and drills, including a section on synchronizing club and body. Website is up now, but those courses will be available soon.Thanks again, and glad you are enjoying the videos.Best, Adam

[@derekcrihfield5038]

I totally agree I am the same way

[@xwcwo]

What is your controlling hand for speed with the putter? I keep my left am stiff and use my right hand to gauge speed. Your thoughts pls

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Les,I think it's really personal choice. Things like feel are very intuitive, sounds like your way works well for you. I sense the weight of the club as it's swinging, that's what works for me.Best, Adam

[@kentsoh1640]

Hi, just wonder if swing by using centre core, while down swing which miss the centre position, the club face will start to close or it also may cause a little bit side spin, isn't it? If it is, how to avoid it?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Kent, Thanks for the question. It's a matter of inches and a few degrees. Not sure what your describing (side spin) is definitively related to using the core. Could be a number of reasons for it, I'm not sure just what though without seeing your stroke. Sorry I can't be of more help! All the best, Adam

[@yaddhillon200]

Liked

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks Yad Best, Adam

[@davidsalmon4390]

Really appreciate your style and wisdom. I also watch Shawn Clement videos, who I also like and he has a video on putting in which he talks about looking at the hole as opposed to the ball. It does seem to help in getting better distance control, I tend to leave putts short, but it takes much getting used to to strike the ball consistently. Have you any thoughts or opinions on this approach to putting?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

+David Salmon Thanks David. Regards the putting, I think either is fine, whatever works best for you. Something like scooping at impact (full shot) would be a definitive no no, bet where you choose to look as you putt is personal choice. Best, Adam

[@mostdeadlygeist]

this should improve my 3 putting for bogey lmao.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Ha, hopefully you'll make a few. All the best, Adam

[@dbenson002]

Should the putting stroke (straight line or arc) vary with type of putter? I have a heel shafted putter and seem to have a hard time keeping a straight line and the arc stroke seems to work better for me at least....but I also have a center shafted putter ?????????

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Donald, There are differences of opinion here. Some say the putter makes no difference, others (qualified people) feel heel shafted causes face to rotate more, though maybe not arc more. I'd suggest that you don't try to manipulate stroke, either to arc more or less, it's very hard to repeat if you do. A lot of it is based on a good set-up and a well fit putter. Hope this helps a bit. Best, Adam

[@1dotele]

do you always keep the glove on while putting?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

James, It's purely optional. Most tour pros take glove off (maybe it gives them more feel), Jack Nicklaus and Lee Trevino would be examples of players who left glove on. All the best, Adam

[@arielluna4399]

👏👏👏👍

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks

[@mesillahills]

The part almost nobody understands is that the putter on the arc opens and closes RELATIVE TO THE TARGET. And they see that. It is not any different than with the driver. What they don't see is that the putter blade must stay PERPENDICULAR to the single tilted plane the shaft is riding on. That is sort of invisible. So because they do see the opening and closing of the blade RELATIVE TO THE TARGET, they unknowingly open and close the blade by even a tiny amount. They have no concept of how important it is for that to not happen because it is destroying the perpendicularity to the tilted shaft path plane. The tilted shaft path plane slopes backwards and staying perpendicular to it is not easy. This is particularity critical deep in the backswing and through impact. Two things really aid in holding that perpendicularity to the tilted shaft path plane. One is Tiger's right hand only drill. It teaches you to go UNDER and not CC around. You can't make 50 in a row from 6 feet until you go UNDER thus holding that PERPEDICULARITY through impact. The other is the big flat topped putter grip. It is easier on your brain to hold the tilted shaft movement plane. This is why every single touring pro uses that grip. The latest training devices that add that tilted path plane above actually illustrate this for the first time ever. These "on the ground" arcs only are essentially worthless. Even the people who make "the Putting Arc" sell a clip on device for the shaft it prove this as well. They just don't tell you how to use it. You need a stair step for it to work. The clip on device keeps the shaft from turning on the stair step above where the ball is rolling. That is the shaft movemnet plane. If you want to know how to get the ball started on line ever time, you gotta get down in the weeds. The few people who do do that we call touring pros. You do of course have to add Ben Crenshaw's RELEASE to all of that. That is another whole subject but is removes practice created timing which makes people think they are better than they actually are until the next day when once again they can't make a damned thing until that temporary timing comes back again.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks for the comment

[@nickpuccio3990]

Again too much sense you make with your instructions Adam. Will apply when next on the putting green at my club. Thanks for providing ey to follow tips that can be applied easily.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Nick. Best, Adam

[@gordonsteen5266]

Have to say I prefer the thought of my shoulders working in a pendulum motion and that's the way I teach. I find that students can get too much body movement with your interpretation although the end result is almost exactly the same.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Fair enough Gordon. You have to address the golfer in front of you, and make it as simple for them as you can. Best, Adam

[@Drewski777]

I disagree Gordon. You should teach them what's right, but give them time to feel comfortable to the stroke. Personally, it does come from the shoulders, but not entirely. My pectoral muscles from the core also putt the ball. I'm #1 on my team and almost all of California. Many people have many different strokes that they feel comfortable and consistent with. However, it will change; and most people do eventually switch to close to what you described. It is a matter of generating the movement from the core. It is impossible to rock your shoulder like a pendulum without using the muscles in your core. Therefore you movement should be focused there solely. Just a thought

[@jamesklapetzky8633]

That putt looked like it was maybe 25 feet from the hole?

[@derekcrihfield5038]

I feel like more golf coach’s need to be as descriptive as you

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Thanks very much Derek. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Best, Adam

[@derekcrihfield5038]

Scratch Golf Academy that is accuracy my dads name my name is Maci

[@georgesherron3449]

How to stop pulls?

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Pretty broad question George. Without seeing your stroke I'd suggest anything that get's the hands/wrists passive would help. Best, Adam.

[@mikerodrick2430]

The only perfect stroke is what's perfect for the individual player. Every video has a "secret move" or "magic move." The perfect move comes from practice after having the basics just as with every other club.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

That's true Mike. Most titles we select are based on popular searches. All the best, Adam

[@joeparadis2537]

My search requirement was to show a great putting stroke. This video did not do it. What i was looking for was a video of a great putting stroke face on so I could emulate it.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Joe, For that just type in to the KZbin box something like 'Tiger Woods putting stroke face on' and plenty will pop up. Best, Adam

Love the part where he didn't show it working.

[@jamalazad2011]

I prefer you show more practical putting also..

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

I have a number of videos at this channel I hope you’ll find helpful Best, Adam

Why not use the same posture and stance you use for tap inns. You hole 99% of your tapp inns...so its effective

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

MJ, I'd try for pretty much the same posture on all putts. I agree, tap in's are high percentage! All the best, Adam

[@Godisnotjesus1967]

@@Scratchgolfacademy Whole setup in golf is wrong. Its all sideways. Look Darts, Javelin, knife throw.....You face the target. So slightly open stance is closest to natural. For medium irons down to putter......you dont need full rotation anyway. Try it now. Even 25° open stance. Swing club at target.....you be surprised!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

MJ, For me, if Jack, Tiger, Snead, Palmer, Bobby Jones, Hogan etc don't do it that way, I'm sticking with traditional. No worries, hope it helps you. Best, Adam

@@Scratchgolfacademy Hi hi...Jack and Tiger's putting posture is kind of very different. Im aware trying to help players. But one ever get better without hours of repitition. You might agree from your own experience its frustrating to e aware that client/student in fact expects the lesson itself to improve his score. Impossible. In my opinion real results only come when teacher/student spend at least 5hours(minimum) together for 3 month period. I dont coach.....my concience will kill me taking dishonest money. I hope covid19 contribute to huge changes over whole golf spectrum.....from clichés.....richmans game....to corrupt brand names.

My brothers always taught me not to take golf tips from someone who putts with a glove on.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

+Jordan Navarro Jack Nicklaus and Lee Trevino generally putted with their glove on, maybe your brothers should re-think the advice they gave you. All the best, Adam

Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "how to improve golf swing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.

This was great, I've been looking for "professional golf swing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy got cool success with it.

[@ronaldmitchell2266]

Jack Nicholas putted with his glove on.

[@VG32123]

Motion from your interior. lol

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Hope it helps you Vince (doesn't sound like you are believing it though) No worries either way. Best, Adam

[@SgtMoran]

Not sure how to take this guy seriously when he is putting with a glove on?!!?!

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

Nicklaus and Trevino did. I may not be worth taking seriously, bet they certainly are. No worries. Best, Adam

[@SgtMoran]

Easy sir, just a joke.

[@Scratchgolfacademy]

No problem, thanks for watching the video. Best, Adam

[@BC-ky7ps]
