Your coach is soooooo great! He is giving u input for you, designed for where u are at!! Own what he asks u to do and have confidence in your results! You are in good hands.

[@FlankerJackChannel]

Literally had the worst range session in months today and I have never felt so angry about myself. This is a very well timed video and I will take these lessons. Thank you

[@CaliGQ_]

This video is GOLD! Dana is an incredible coach.

[@Kaizer45613]

First, thanks for all the vids with dana, its giving me a reference point for my own golf game :)

[@JeromeRufin]

Glad I can help!

[@marcmuren9835]

I’ve been keeping up with you doing this. I’m an avid golpher and been using you as motivation- in this video you look spent - I see it on every swing - you don’t want to do this. Keep it up bro. You got support.

[@bassmasta9117]

Jerome I been here since day 1 and also started golfing at the same time. Love all your vids, it would be fun to see you play a few rounds from the front tees and see how you score.

[@jameslavish4999]

Appreciate the videos and love seeing the progress during your journey!

[@JeromeRufin]

Glad you're enjoying the ride!

[@philk4645]

I think we've all had that feeling of "why am I playing this game" -- you had it at the lesson I had it on the course yesterday till I hit great (for me) 5i on the 18th green...going to the range today to work on what Dana showed you. I have similar issues.

[@ConstantineAndreas]

You're a legend for this channel, man. Love this stuff. Working on similar things. Dana's great.

[@gateslattes4686]

Gonna send Dana money, turned my swing around with all this great content. Finally rotating!

[@vansonguitars8981]

Thanks for the video dude, and keep focusing on the last lesson points, not the resulting ball flight. That will come later once the new arm/body pattern is better grooved and you can add some relaxation/ timing to the new movements. 👍⛳️🏌️‍♂️

[@Roberto-bd9fq]

i like the lever assembly concept, which is a reality. I always think (feel) the levers must line up to hit solid shots.

[@jdrobison1967]

Jerome. Why does Dana (and others) keep telling you to hold your finish? It’s not about posing. It’s a mind-set thing. You look dejected after every single shot - you shake your head and immediately grab another ball to try again. You can’t judge yourself by every shot you hit. You HAVE TO be ok with hitting most of them poorly. He told you at the end of the lesson how to measure your progress - not by what the ball did but by whether you hit the positions correctly. Stop judging every ball and swing. Stick the finish, commit that feel to memory, wait for the ball to land, rinse and repeat.

[@l33tLX]

This is everything

[@cjchief011]

When you know what your finish should feel like you're likely hitting all the right points along the way. It serves a technical purpose as well as mental.

[@ReneLopez-qc2vx]

100% drives me crazy with all his coaching sessions. Golf has its ebbs and flows, but you have to find some swag (lack of a better description) every time you’re out there. Dana is the real deal. Could totally read Jerome without much effort.

[@roadfert]

Great point, if you ever go to a tour event you’ll see that most professionals pre-shot routine includes a swing that only goes 3/4 of the way back but they work all the way into their follow through, it’s very telling. My coach who played on tour for ten years always says “great players think about their follow through, amateurs think of their back swing”. There’s some wisdom to that statement because in order to “stick your finish” a whole bunch of things need to happen properly to get there and the body will self organize to make it happen. It’s kind of like putting a fork in your mouth,you have a finish point in mind and the body gets it there.

[@gortklatu3784]

Nice lesson. A lot of guys take time off in the winter. One way to restore confidence: drop a second ball and hit it. You prove to yourself you have the ability. If possible, play an entire round alone with 2 balls. Keep score for each. You may hit some bad shots, but you’ll hit a lot of good ones. Has the LA fires affected you at all? Good luck.👍

[@mp68golfer]

It totally seems that you don't work on what he says to only work on when you go home. Like you may play have a bad stretch come up with something that sounds "golfy" and focus on your thoughts of what your doing.. instead of going back to what he told you to work on.

[@johnkritchey8445]

HANG IN THRERE!!!!!!! GREAT VIDEO! DANA IS THE MAN!

[@GolferProject]

thank you!

[@JeromeRufin]

Happy to share the journey!

[@renaissancegolf]

Five years in now, it’s a roller coaster! Speaking of injuries, I bruised my ribs really bad year two, tried to play through and it was horrible.

[@UncleT0ny]

just starting the video. been really trying to get 'good' at golf the last year and have lost my swing several times.

[@JeromeRufin]

I'm right there with you, it's a crazy journey!

[@trey_dizzle4161]

Watch Saguto golf. Simplify your swing

[@television3771]

Jerome is more pliable than most of us. Avg guy should be moving with minimal tension and making a shorter swing to avoid excessive tension or stretch if necessary. Avg guy should focus on setting up for proper positions to facilitate and handle a powerful release, most people do the opposite…….patience.

[@andrewrudzinski5653]

Agree. Absolutely love Dana's instruction. Unfortunately, too cold in Northeast to golf and closed courses. Considering the Bunker, inside golf here in the Northeast. Not sure if beneficial

[@andrewrudzinski5653]

New Years Resolution shoot low 80's. Shot mid 90's 1x a week playing.

Lets goooo!

[@Swingthroughhistory]

The amount of comments to have you play some new courses has gotten wild! We wanna see your skills on real courses!! We have all followed you for a year or so. Give the people what they want! :)❤ no one will judge you if you don’t score well. We are all amateurs my dude. Just go have some fun and bring us along. 😊

[@bamnjlaw92]

Dude. Thanks for the lesson. You've learned more in 1.5 years than I or most of us over 30 years. But I'm chiming in early on this to ask, Is it me or are you over swinging on the course? Seems your swing is 2/3 at Practice and smooth and on course you're back swing is behind your neck and swinging for the hills and it goes or pulls left or way left..

[@Swingthroughhistory]

Did he mentioned the first “feel” was for anyone to create? Or it was more tailored for your golf swing? Like, if I lose my swing, would it be beneficial for me to put the 45 degree angle for reference? Thanks

[@randyduane5370]

What is happening to Jerome is what happened to me and I think what happens to the majority of developing golfers. We take lessons. And through lessons and our range work, we begin to develop a working swing. But, the developing swing is very fragile and often it feels fleeting because we incrementally lose bits and pieces of the new mechanics between lessons. So during the multi-year development process, we don’t fully grasp, fully understand or clearly remember what the key elements of the new mechanics nor why they lead lead to solid ball striking. When our swing goes south, and it does, we can’t diagnose and nearly always misdiagnose fearing we have changed our swing in the extreme. As Dana pointed out, the problem wasn’t extreme, and is almost never extreme. This observation is pretty much irrelevant because the result of losing one’s swing is so often extremely bad golf. Small swing issues often have an extreme impact on good golf. Then while in the trenches, on the course and then subsequently on the range, we adjust and experiment to find the feel we felt in our swing during lessons. Often we swing and experiment to no avail or if we make progress it’s in the wrong bits and pieces all while moving away from the fundamentals our instructor helped build for us. The next lesson gets us back on track after we’ve thoroughly backtracked and defaulted to our past, ingrained neuromuscular faults. Our instructor then reteaches what was taught earlier and works to reset the correct mechanics and neuromuscular connections we recently learned. Jerome is lucky to be instructed by the best! I think it accurate that 95-98% of golfers are not so fortunate and receive a mixed bag of somewhat competent instruction that makes the development process much more difficult than it could be with excellent coaching. We’re often poor students to boot who attempt to listen, but interpret poorly; we often remember poorly; we often don’t do our homework thoroughly or completely between lessons; we often doubt what we’re being told sometimes for good reason. The process continues. Rinse and repeat for the rest of your life! Lol! Some truth in that last sarcastic statement. However, I love the way a great instructor can simplify the trouble shooting process. Just like Jerome’s instructor said do this and this every time you struggle and it will get you back on track. Beautiful how he also then weaved in some additional fundamentals to reduce the detrimental wrist action and forearm role in the takeaway and forced a new swing challenge immediately. Game-on Jerome. Tighten your shoulder pads and buckle your chinstrap. This is how you become a decent golfer.

[@JeromeRufin]

I appreciate posts this like greatly

[@randyduane5370]

@@JeromeRufin my apologies for writing a book, occasionally I get started but am too lazy to stop. Thoroughly enjoying your learning process and Dana’s terrific instruction!

It’s a shame that your golf swing OCD gets in the way of your pursuit to scratch

[@jaydubeck3435]

What I see is when you're hitting shots that are good in practice you don't seem to be satisfied with those strikes. It seems that you judge yourself at a higher level then where you are in reality, at that rate it's hard to improve to where you can just hit shots. I would just try and hit all kinds of shots not just grind on the 1 pattern, do that for awhile and have some fun with that to see if you can self learn use the artistic part of your brain for a change not the mechanical analytic part...jmo.

[@sinkingputts]

You sounds like he’s all in his own head. He should work on his mental game and real expectations

[@michaelsingh843]

21:51 why you go down😂

[@PhillyPhenomGolf]

yo bro you said IT band injury? bro sucks you got any injuries. but i really feel the it band pain ur feeling. I got really bad IT band syndrome. and hip bursitis. My whole leg into my foot is 10 pain at night and sore all day i just play through. hard for me to get thru a full rd on course though. Dont want surgery so going for rehab before golf season. got any it band exercises or tips for me? or anything you do diff in swing to make up for lack of mobility in hip etc be appreciated.

[@Ifishmo]

Jerome, how many balls are you hitting a week now? How about at your peak?...what was the most amount of balls you were/are a week?

[@salesone8615]

None

[@sonicbooommm]

In the nicest possible way you are your own worst enemy. Over analyse and over complicate everything. These coaches have been telling you same things over and over for a while now.

[@gortklatu3784]

Dana really makes the golf swing more technical and complicated than necessary, but teaching that method to an obvious perfectionist is a disaster. You’re lost in arm/wrist angles, weight shifts, etc. You need a teacher who gets you to play by FEEL. As you practice, he should point out technical corrections, but basically impart an athletic movement that you can repeat. Golf is so much more fun when you clear your brain and just play by feel.

[@dbo4506]

For the love of god, learn how to hold your finish bro.

[@peterrutkowski8172]

Chris Smeal and all coaches in between have been telling him the same thing - but he just doesn't care. The same goes for keeping the head back.

[@peterrutkowski8172]

I predict sub 80 coming soon. Hopefully your Rose Bowl course didn't get burned to oblivion.

[@JeromeRufin]

The course I practice at every day did :/

[@Andrew_ISA_ChiefsFan]

I recommend trying to learn how to speak the same language as the instructor since he insists on speaking to you about p2 p6 etc. Rather than saying.. "Is it like this or that," you should be able to describe where your concern is using the same terminology. Otherwise, there is no reason to believe you understand what he is telling you to do or describing in terms of the mechanics of the golf swing. You will remain stuck like this if you don't work on understanding the terminology/mechanics. To be fair, he is not making it easy for you. He says a million things at once and doesn't seem to be concerned if you get it or not from a feel perspective. I am happy to simplify what he wants from you in this video if you would like prior to your next lesson with him. Hit me back in the reply if you'd like.

[@andybecker5001]

No offense. You get lost with paralysis by analysis trying things you feel instead of doing what he has been telling you to do. You move on to some other feel without achieving consistency of what he’s already told you to do.

[@oceanyt8]

Told you many times already, dude. Fix your neck and head postures. It's not right.

[@eckdoggie]

MONEY

[@danielmosias6280]

This guy has had coaching from some of the best coaches in the game, but after all this time he still can't hit his short irons consistently well. All those so called great coaches must all be frauds, or maybe the pupil is? 😅😅😅
