What HIGH handicap golf looks like... [EVERY SHOT]

[@cedarhawkfan2791]

Jack, great content as always..always admire your attitude even when things are going off the rails a bit..great reminder for myself in my own game!

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Thanks appreciate the continued support 😊. Haha yep messed up on the most important shots on this occasion - cashed in my luck with the rebound off the back of the water hazard 😆. When your attitude drops though can become a long day so that’s why I try keep myself upbeat

[@peterguildford2133]

Great to see you playing my old home course. I can remember in the early days hitting 121 on my first visit. By 2021 i was scoring in the mid 80's . Don't give up on it, you have probably seen it at its worst, try it in the summer. Before covid if you played mid week you'd have the course to yourself.

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Great stuff 👏. Actually loved the greens felt really good - just had a stinker 😂 we were rushing to get to the chiefs game (semi final). Certainly keen to get back there on a dry day - may even see you out there 😂

[@peterguildford2133]

@@JackPlaysGolf Maybe someday. Good luck with your channel, hopefully a few more people will realise you are out there

[@bannnnner]

Enjoyed this. Only been playing a year but got the bug. Feel like game has improved hugely in last couple months.

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Thanks 😊. Similar to me, such a good game. Nice man, keep at it and I’m sure you will keep trending in the right direction 👍

[@johndavies6427]

I share your frustration about flushing second shots!! I now tell myself over the ball "pretend this is your second shot" - such a maddening game🎉🎉

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Haha have you found that works any better for you? it’s always nice to pipe the 2nd one mind to know what could have been, also but of extra practice - the mental aspect of accepting and moving on is huge for sure

[@IPv6Freely]

Love seeing another high handicapper youtuber! Just subscribed :) BTW a putt from the fringe is a chip. When I found that out my putting numbers got better but my GIR numbers got worse ;)

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Welcome to the channel Chris 😊 we have a high handicap masters style video coming out soon so stay tuned for that 👍. Haha yeh I found that out too. Hope your golf is going well

[@christophermartin4944]

Love this course always real friendly, always tee time free and the layout is a dream l. Shame it was wet please go back once its dry as long as you can git straight this course is open to going low!

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Yep really enjoyed it even in the wet - the water holes were set up real nice and the greens were honestly in great shape even with the rain we have had. The roll out in dry would have been much appreciated with my driver currently misbehaving 😂 thanks for watching

[@LegendarySofa]

Great video! Have you tried a strong arm grip with your driver? I had problems slicing but I swapped to a strong arm and it fixed it.

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Thanks 👍 - regarding Driver my range has been closed for ages so been unable to get practice in - my normal problems before my lesson were big hooks and low launch. Will have a look to see if strong arm helps though 👍

[@stevenmatthews5919]

You ever try hitting a hybrid instead of a 5iron? I love the challenges you set up for yourself .

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Hi Steven, yep I used to do 3 hybrid for tee shots which did gain few extra yards but now I’ve been struggling with it, 5 iron has a good miss to it, but without the roll out I do lose distance 😂. Thanks, have found it’s a good way to focus on certain aspects and not be as bummed by a bad score 😆

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Well played, love the idea of these challenges as a way to improve your game. Your iron striking is very good though considering the scores you end up with! My goal this year has been to break 100, which I did this week... my local course has loads of water hazards and thick bushes so my next challenge is to play the same ball for 18 holes 😂 no 3 putts is a big one though!

[@JackPlaysGolf]

I find it works well to help focus on improvement areas rather than just worrying about score also with the terrible weather here at the moment scores become harder 😂. Awesome on breaking 100 - one tip I would say is don’t worry about going over 100 again (happens to all us high handicappers I hit my PB 85 and followed it with a 109 😂). Yep putting is so key normally a strong point for me but not on this day. Best of luck on not losing that ball, let me know how you get on 👍

[@markwatson930]

If you want to beat +11 then play the par 4s as 5, par 3s as 4 and par 5s as 7. It gives you so much confidence when you can say you got 7 but it was a par instead of a double bogey. Then when you get better you keep knocking 1 shot off on ghe easiest holes.

[@markwatson930]

Then imagine when you do get a net birdie or par how easy it is for your score to keep dropping

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Solid advice Mark, I pretty much play for bogey most holes and normally can sneak a few pars but then you get the odd day like this one and really got punished on the greens (greens not to blame on this occasion) 😂 thanks for watching

[@ludvigurbyemyhre5344]

Cool video! Nice to see someone not in the PGA play as well, doing same mistakes as me. I am by no means any good, and I dom't want to give out unwanted tips, but it looks like your feet often point right of target which may be causing the push slice (might also be the camera angle)

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Thanks 😊, yep all the highs and lows of us common golfers are found here. No tips are unwanted 👍 yep totally agree - I have some alignment sticks now which I am hoping will help aid this correction. Thanks for watching

[@TAYLORFAN50]

Jack, more driver please! You can do it. 👍

[@JackPlaysGolf]

😂 haven’t been able to play due to weather for a few weeks and moving house but… I am going to an indoor sim this weekend and will get that driver practice in just for you 👍

[@shqiptar4eva7]

I like the commentary! Do you edit your own videos? If so what program do you use to edit?

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Thanks 😊 yep edit myself using shot tracer pro, premiere pro & boya wireless mic

[@RealtalkManc]

Instead of using wedge just of the green try hitting a 9 iron with a putting motion. Helped my game massively

[@JackPlaysGolf]

I meant to putt on the fringe after messing up my 52 but made the wrong decision trying to make up for the other bad shot 😂 definitely practicing bump and run but when it’s so wet I just want to avoid trying bounce through it

[@fergusfitzgerald977]

Conditiobns were not ideal - I don't have a five iron and am like you a high handicapper ! Keep going ! better days are ahead !

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Haha yep getting slammed with rain at the moment. My five iron has been so good to me in comparison to my driver obviously not as far but I’m in play more often than not. Yep better days to come for sure but still great outing 👌

[@kenirving5240]

Why has that guy got his trouser leg rolled up?

[@JackPlaysGolf]

😂 he had just had a new tattoo and couldn’t cover it up

[@TheTragicTruth]

Bro why is Siri flaming you 😂

[@JackPlaysGolf]

I know right!! 😂 did it 4 times total, in fairness to Siri they were probably all justified 😆

[@GeraldMarleau]

Imagine if you just worked on your driver and got a wood or 2..

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Haha easier said than done 😂. That being said certainly is an area I will be working on 👍 thanks for watching
