Why Golf Is Hard

[@Jonsnowcone]

"I don't want to pout and ruin the day for my playing partners" - such an underrated aspect of golf etiquette. Thanks for the always great content!

[@ItsDimes]

“i’m not good enough to get mad”. another good one

[@anthonyperfetto9552]

I just sit at work and watch these videos wishing I was out there

[@jeansanlley2575]

Same…

[@Kameronwest1991]

Yup same here 😊

[@ajalikhanz]

Same here😂

[@Bradenkj]

Same…. We got a foursome boys.

[@YourGypsyBro]

Man if there’s a vote for the best golfer on KZbin hands down, you should be #1. Your commentary is superb Adam! Thanks for blessing my eyes to your content. Wishing great success 🫡.

[@daewickskie]

The pulled tee shot and into Swingtweaks promo was gold lol

[@haydenredl2919]

Thanks for your reminders on keeping the mental game in check. I’ve gotten better since the years ago that I started watching your videos. One point that really stood out: not wanting to ruin the round for everyone else just because yours isn’t going well. I have seen many people pout and ruin the group’s energy, myself included at times shamefully, but it is a great point to remember and strive for. Golf is supposed to be fun after all!

[@cageyams151]

you integrate the swingtweaks plug so well

[@robertfarmer1602]

Love seeing the peanut gallery on 18. Great stuff

[@ryanrobertson3508]

Rio Secco is such a cool course, one of my favorites in Vegas. My one and only albatross came on 17! Its one of those courses that is so much more fun from the white tees than the blues.

[@kylebaltus]

Thank you so much for these videos. You just inspired me so much when I saw you in the bunker with the fried egg. Watching you laugh through that was so eye opening and I found myself laughing with you and in a genuinely good mood after seeing it. Thank you for the content, man. You’ve made a MASSIVE impact on my mental game, and course management. Thank you!

[@wess.9193]

How funny, I am leaving for Vegas tonight for a golf trip and was going to tell you before I even started the video. And the video is randomly in Vegas! How cool. Lol

[@sameerpurohit3385]

Great relatable video. Well done for persevering 😊

[@promoteupro]

Another great video, as always, Adam. Can't wait to hit the links with you when you come back to Arizona. Clearly wait until fall/winter, as it's too damn hot :)

[@IronsSharpenIronsGolf]

I love this course, but the set up is really challenging. The greens here are no joke, Adam. Big breakers even inside of 5 feet. Important question! what kind of camera do you have that survives a full round in the Vegas heat without overheating? 🥵

[@1averageamerican]

Yesterday, I started double, double, triple. Didn't get down on myself, put some pars together and a birdie. Ended up shooting 85, beating my 16hc. Getting mad just ruins your round.

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

Funny seeing a green golf course in the middle of the desert! where do they get the copious amount of water to keep the grass that green

[@bwiz1234]

Love bunker shots, difficult!

[@jeffdavis3713]

Great video Adam Looks like the back is doing ok

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

"I dont want to pout and ruin my partners round.." I'll try remember that when my wheels come off! great advice!

[@gregglafleur8968]

Hey Adam, was wondering about your thinking on that 2nd shot on the 11th. (Granted, with the gift of hindsight) Why choose the 3 wood instead of a lay up club? It was a far ways away and into wind. Was there something about the lie, maybe the green seemed open to you? I'm just wondering for my own edification. Thanks man, love the channel!

[@tdub___1322]

Have you been or do you have plans for Cascata out there? My absolute favorite

[@skizzot91r]

man felt like an eternity since your last video lol

[@nathannislick7387]

Man. I wish an 88 with a 9 on the card was a bad day for me 😂

[@darryljt]

broke 90 even with some challenges. that would be good in my book.

[@aleksei8884]

Those bunker shots look so violent😂

[@OffBrandGolf]

Haha. Is Vegas back in the "rota?"

[@bobpickering6939]

Rio Secco has legit breakfast burritos pre-made you can grab one on your way to first tee.

[@dans1985]

Man, if i walked off the course with an 88 I'd be jacked.

[@zackmiller1822]

If I don’t see that damn ball go in the hole I’m unsubscribing. Nice video like always buddy.

[@spacedawg04]

That bunker lie was diabolical. Last week I played at a new course that was somewhat short and fairly wide open and shot my best ever score of 78 (was away from golf for 10yrs or so and haven't broken 90 in the year I've been back). Been grinding a lot in my home sim and finally found something, especially focusing on tempo swinging at what feels like 75%. I'm sure that means next time I'm gonna go out and shoot a 95 🤣

[@starks1974]

That bunker shot...drop it out and take the 1 stroke penalty. I'm doing that more as it's not worth the aggravation with impossible sand shots. And you are a bigger man than me hitting a fwy wood out of a bunker too.

[@paulthomson2288]

Thought you might have declared an unplayable and perhaps salvaged a triple or better rather than a quintuple bogey?

[@jacksondavis7762]

Not 100% but you might get a drop after that first bunker shot due to an embedded ball. Not sure if that would count or not. I'm definitely writing down a 7 here and moving on. lol

[@rulinghabs]

I just had the worst round of the year the other day on Salt Spring Island. It was like o forgot how to do everything.

[@blainekennedy]

Adam your swing is starting to look not that bad what the hell man

[@alanduncan9204]

Top Tip. When you get a really horrific lie in a bunker, declare it unplayable and take a penalty drop in the bunker. You end up with a better lie get it out and not run up a Cricket score.

[@westinpeace1234]

No point, assuming you try to hit it, if you fail you’re still in the bunker. At least give yourself a chance because you’re going to be in the bunker next shot anyway.

[@KDG702]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@westinpeace1234when taking the unplayable lie you can drop outside of the bunker if the outside is within two club lengths. If you can hit your shot out of grass you should. It’s better psychologically to take the drop than to hack at an awful lie in a bunker a few times. Sure it’s cool to try but unless you seriously plan on playing on tour it’s better to just give yourself a good lie so you can have a better time playing.

[@westinpeace1234]

@@KDG702 Ok you can do that but it isn’t 2 club lengths, it’s the line that it went in the bunker. Also it is a 2 stroke penalty so it’s like local rules for OB. Still not wise if you ask me.

[@Mrsaulteestrawman]

For everyone saying take a drop from the bunker lie. Instead just hood the wedge and pop it out. You open the wedge the bounce will do what? That's right bury the ball deeper.

[@DanielSong39]

I think the 15th hole was an 11 since you grounded the club Bad day but it will get better

[@gavin2126]

On 15 I think I would've just taken an unplayable after burying the ball deeper into the bunker on my first shot

[@manuelhernandez9448]

Yuuuuuup- need to seem in

[@SageVO]

Golf is hard, believe me, I know! My dad and I just got beat by 13 in a shamble 🤦‍♂

[@ItsEllusive]

I’ve always loved your positivity and getting a laugh from that bunker but you were hard on yourself with score. Couldn’t you take an unplayable and you woulda cut those extra strokes in half

[@3n2a2]

You can pick up anything your opponent gives as long you film the pickup. Also pick up anything you want that is beyond want counts for hcap. --KZbin

[@morbulus340]

Always enjoy your content. Just for the record I do not enjoy watching you knock in one foot puts. I trust you, this is KZbin not match play.

[@MrfiX725]

That's the worst fried egg I've ever seen!!!

[@zacharymilos392]

Golf's hard. 🤷‍♀

[@Softouch333]

On # 15, unplayable lie Adam!

[@CoinsInTheWild]

i'm gonna state the obvious you would have won if you took an unplayable lie in the bunker fiasco : )

[@rlkinnard]

Not me, I suck all the time.

[@richg7264]

I use swing tweaks, its getting to be inconsistent instruction. In one tweak my instructor points out rotation, then points me to a video that has me lifting my trail heal to help turn.. the following tweak, the same instructor says not to do that... They wanna keep you chasing that carrot, keep you coming back!

[@passtheballl]

Dude learned what mercurial means and is dropping it every video now lol

[@chasman67]

Where Adam lost shots: Hole 1: No reason to use driver on a short par 4 (2 shots) Hole 2: No reason to use driver on downhill par 4 (2 shots) Hole 5: The miss is short left (1 shot) Hole 8: Pulled 115 yard PW (1 shot) Hole 9: 130 yard shot missed green (1 shot) Hole 11: Yanked 3 wood approach (1 shot) Hole 15: Yanked approach unlucky bunker lie (4 shots) Hole 18: Lip out (1 shot) Score 88 Less shots above of 13 Coulda been 75

[@vintageswiss9096]

My guy... you are in desperate need of a lesson. Dont let them completely change the swing you are comfortable with... but you need some timing lessons. You're consistent... it won't take much...

[@zareh805]

“So that was dogshit.”
