7 RULES to BREAK 90 Every Time (No Swing Changes)

Your course management is perfect, unforunately my swing management is quite random. You need to factor that into your demo. So I suggest the following: before every strike, roll a 6 sided dice, where: 1-Shank, 2-Playon, 3-Fat, 4-Playon, 5-Thin, 6-Playon. Then proceed to your next shot based on what the dice told you. That will give you a mere glinmpse of wheat we have to contend with. lol

Great course management, tips and info, thank you. Only problem with "playing like a 20 handicapper" by keeping it short is that you have better skills than a 20hc. Coach an actual 20hc+ through a round, minus swing help, and break 90. Good luck with that :D

The strategy is great, and I don’t disagree with it. However, you need to throw a few duffs or shanks in there if you want to play like a 20 handicap.

You forgot to top your drive or duck hook it OB or fan it two fairways over. But other than that, great vid.

I like how you aimed for the back of one of the greens, hit it, the ball bit and stopped. Perfect. Every time I aim for the back of the green and execute the shot well, I then roll 20 metres off the back into a world of pain. 20 handicapper, remember.

Yes, that's the problem, us 25 handicappers can't hit it straight like you so until we learn how, we can only watch this video in envy!😂

I'm an 18 handicap and sure smart golf has gotten me here... but I'll tell you what has really gotten me here was not worrying about bad shots. And try to see them as a "Save attempt" I broke 90 once with 6 double bogies. That was a really eye opener as well. You can afford a few bad holes. Golf is so much more mental than physical.

Good advice. I use a chipper too, around the greens off of short grass. If you are short sided though go with a 56". Think most over 90 golfers would love to hit it straight down the middle 200yds. How about shanking a few into the woods, or the infamous huge slice many high handicaps hit. Or how about trouble shots which they are prone to being required to hit but then are very bad at. Like punch shots through trees, and stuff like that, or out of thick, rough lies. Typical HH goes par, bogie, bogie, triple bogie, par... stuff like that. They need to avoid the big numbers. Still great advice in general for golf.

The real advice I would give to a 20, as a 10 and a former 20 myself, is use a 3/4 swing and club up. Learn a straight punch shot and use it to advance the ball when you don't have an easy shot. If you can train a slower more compact swing you will make better contact with less sidespin.

A really interesting process. As someone who went through this before, going from a 25 to a 9, using many of these tips, I relate to a lot of what’s been said. As someone who’s just come back and is currently at a 17HCP, it’s a good reminder to not over complicate shots, and to be realistic about what my abilities are.

“but again…not trying to do anything fancy” that’s the only reason I play golf 😅 if i get one birdie a round, i can forget the 3 triple bogeys pretty easily

Love the idea of the video. Do the same video only you coaching a true 20 handicapper. You hit a beautiful draw hitting every fairway (no shots into the trees) and didn’t duff any shots like a true 20 would. Thanks again.

Good video Jon and definitely gets you thinking. I have played better since identifying where the trouble is and avoiding it. The only time I fall down is from wayward tee shots so need to improve my consistency there

That course looks like hell. Where is this?

Watched this video earlier on. Just played 18 and shot 85. My best ever round being a 93 before hand so thank you so much!

I’m a 15 & still found this very useful 😁

Great video. Thank you. Maybe I will be able to resist driver, metals and hybrids and do this.

My distances are 7 iron - 120; 6 iron 135; 5-iron goes 150, and 4-iron 165... sometimes, and the last three also slice a little, and duff quite frequently. I use 9-iron from within 30 yards down to just off the green. 18 handicap, but you hit your irons a lot further than most of us.

Great video mate, really highlights how important chipping and putting are to scoring better. Reminds me of the stuff Golf Sidekick is putting out there 👍

Good video Jon - really shows if you look for safety and play within yourself, good results are possible 😅
