Golf is a solo sport, it’s not a social sport but can be.
Thanks for this video! It gave me good info! Also maybe can give Golf Kinetics a chance to improve your game!
great video!
All the brand,brand,brand new golfers check my videos out, much love 🙂
I’m a relatively new golfer – and I am struggling most with consistentcy.
I am still a novice but this season was by far my best and I improved massively! I wish I had learned earlier that relaxed muscles move faster than tense muscles, so it is critical to NOT swing hard! The other game changing tip I got this year was to stop thinking about hitting at the golf ball. The best approach is to take a nice, easy, smooth practice swing and then repeat it and just let the ball get in the way!
As a person who is technically "disabled", I do take issue with the 5th tip, Carry Fewer Clubs. Not everyone is walking when they golf and I'm glad that I learned with a full bag because it allowed me to learn to use every club and also which ones I preferred.
Excellent tips! Thanks a lot. This is technically my 2nd year and I totally can relate to this.
I wish the pro added tips/ideas for playing faster. Most golfers have no idea what "ready golf" is. When one in the group is looking for a ball, hit your shot first, then help look. mark all scores on the score card on the next tee (this is a big time saver). When on the green with extra clubs, take out the pin and lay the extra clubs on the pin. This saves having to look for your wedges after hole is completed and you won't lose any clubs. When you're done with a hole, head back to your golf cart immediately. Play from golf tees suitable to your golfing distance. Keep your ego out of the game. All suggestions above are good.
Other things to tell beginners: 1. You hit the ball first, then the turf. I can't tell you how many times I hear beginners say: "I couldn't get under the ball." When I tell them they aren't supposed to get under the ball, they are always surprised to learn this. 2. Despite what marketing tells you, if you want to score low you need to work on your short game NOT your distance. 3. Seriously, the less muscle you use, the better. Swing the club rather than hit the ball. 4. You don't need a $3,000 set of PXGs. There's a 61 year-old in Phoenix who shot an 83 using just a $2.99 putter he bought from Goodwill. Seriously, it's not the arrow, it's the Archer. 5. If you aren't striking the ball correctly, it doesn't matter what kind of golf ball you use. You don't need Titleist ProV-1. 6. What this video tells you about taking lessons is 110% true! 7. Play with better players. My dad was a 9 handicap, but when I left home, I counted 78 golf trophies in the house. How?? He says he would go to tournaments and tell them he was a 2 handicap so he could get in the "A" flight so he could play with the better players. He says the better his competition, the better he played. He gave me the same advice…it's true.
Tip #1- get a cart bag with a cooler, and keep it well stocked with beer. And always carry a flask
Thanks for the tips.
I always like showing up early and hitting the driving range and hitting a small bucket of balls to get my swing going. It made a big difference in my game . If your a beginner hit your 1 wood at the range but leave it in your car when you go out to play . Until you have mastered your 3 wood it's a real stroke saver ! Hit the putting green as well . Putting is half your score 👍
Soon as someone is watching me I hit a awful shot 😢
Get lessons should be #1.
Collect the balls you find as you're looking for yours in the woods
I buy used balls off our Marketplace….dozens of inexpensive ones so I don't worry about losing the higher-end ones…so when I am in a tougher area (water/pond)….I don't sacrifice my favourite ones.
Do they not have pushcarts overseas at golf courses? Much like a stroller (3 wheels). So much easier to do the 9-18 holes….especially as a girl. I think the tip of reducing the number of clubs in the bag is great. I don't even use 1/2 of my set.
I'm new and I like to tidy up on my round. If I see smashed tees or some rubbish, I pick up and launch in bins.
I've been playing for 50 years. Don't just turn up and expect to mullah your first drive. My advice is simple…..warm up. Just like I don't !😁
Don't stand where the player can see you. Make sure you're hitting the correct ball. Don't yell and complain. No one cares. Don't walk or crutch your putter in someone's putting line.
There's better 16 tips in the comments than on this video lmao
first and top of the list NO ONE tells you how much it cost to play golf=clubs, balls, cart if ride, green fees
Always nice to play with golfers who are better than yourself. You can learn from them. However beware. If you're playing with big hitters don't try to keep up with them. Play your own game and focus more on keeping the ball on the fairway. Big hits are great if you can keep them down the middle. If not, you're more likely to find big trouble.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:1-3)
Number one tip on my list is (and I can't understand why you omitted it) is replace fairway divots and ball marks on the green. There is never an excuse for not doing these simple tasks. When you get to a new course or the first time you play your favorite course in the new season, read the scorecard. There are always bits of local wisdom and special rules for each course. Never hit into the group in front of you using the excuse: "well they hit their second shot". Sometimes a beginner's second shot is only 150 yards from the tee. Golf is a gentle person's game. Please act accordingly. It is a privilege to play. Feel blessed that you're there.
Beginning golfer.. 63 years young! My 1st lesson is Friday! I'm pretty excited. Thanks for the tips!
Brilliant video! I was a beginner golfer 60 years ago and I have worked out some of these tips for myself since. For example, I often play nine holes with half a set and lake balls; sometimes I join up with another golfer doing the same thing, sometimes not. This hot dry summer is perfect for that.
Tip 1 don’t be nervous. Seriously? That’s not a tip. It’s a state of mind that can’t be helped. 🤦♂️
Also, you will occasionally have a round of golf that makes you wonder why you ever took up this stupid game, or feel as if you have never played golf before.
So true… but actually, golf courses should be divided into sections of six holes, because while nine holes can be great it's too short for a Sunday round with the friends, and playing 18 can be taxing on the aging body and family sympathy, so 12 seems like a good alternative. Mind you, 18 is not a godgiven number – it was defined by humans and can thus be changed by humans.
Question: Would it be weird if I go to the Golf Course by myself? I don’t know anyone around my area. Thank you for this video!
A pretty comprehensive list – I can't think of much to add. I have recently started to thin out my bag. As a senior golfer I just don't get the distance gaps between club I used to and have learned to get more out of each club in my bag. Actually makes the game more fun to learn how to use clubs with a 20-30 yard variances. Also agree with the nine holes, which is what I normally play now. It just takes so long to golf 18 and I am usually by myself. Plenty fit for 18 holes, but I'd rather shoot 9 holes 2-3 times a week instead of one 18 hole round. And twilight golf is absolutely the best. I guess one more to add on that point, is to stop and appreciate the beauty of some golf courses. Some of the better ones are just to picturesque and sometime with breathtaking views. Enjoyed the video….well done.
Those orange super soft calaways are really nice to play with as a recent beginner
Teach them how to play Poison at the tee box.
Excellently put over. One thing from a new player playing on public courses is please put your rubbish in a bin. I'm always amazed by beer cans thrown in the rough. There's usually bins at the tee's. Use them.
Most important tip: learn to pick up when you're a high handicapper playing with a group of near scratch golfers, as long as it's just a friendly game. Grinding over that 4th putt on the green just makes the rest of the guys not want to play with you again. Pick up and move on. Take a lot of lessons if you want to really improve.
DO NOT DRAG your spikes on the greens, geez!
Great content – thanks!
Learn how to play bad golf fast. Don't worry about score until you get better. Buy cheap used balls so you don't spend too much time trying to find expensive lost balls. If your ball is less than 100 feet away from your partners, get out of the cart, grab a couple clubs and head over and get ready to hit (as long as it is not in your partners line). Put your score down on the next tee, not on the hole you just played (unless you are waiting for another player to get to the cart). Don't hit more than 2 balls off the tee and don't be embarrassed to just go drop near your partners ball if you can't get off the tee. If you have finished the hole before partners, pick up the flag and any clubs the other players may have left on the ground and be ready to hand them to the players as they putt out, then put the flag back. Even if there is noone behind you these things can make playing with you much much more enjoyable for the other players.
There's only so much you can feed a beginner at one time. Golf is complicated and takes time to learn well.
I can’t understand the novice golfer who plays the back tees! It bugs me!
What score do you mark when you pick up after a bad hole?
