- The Secret Strategy Of The Pros
Special thanks to Iain Highfield of Game Like Training Golf for joining me in this video to teach us his Eliminator Practice Game - which you can do on the course or on the range. It's the same strategy the pro golfers use to train in excellent ball control and lower scores.

Thank you for the inclusion of your penalty shots. Listening to your preshot self talk and the time spent walking to the pyramid for another ball is a great model for how the game should be played. This manner of practice has so much more relevance than immediately scraping another ball over and firing away without any reset.
This video also illustrates the effectiveness of when to release the left brain and engage the right brain in creating shot shape. Most enjoyable and enlightening!
Thank you again,
Mike D
Thanks, Mike! Appreciate the kind words and you being here with us! Love Iain and GLT practice outlines!
Awesome video! Really like this game and strategy. I will definitely put this in my practice time and practice rounds!
Hope it helps my friend!
Matt Smith, you just made my day! Great vids Eric. Keep up the good work. Really appreciate your passion for this wonderful game.
Thanks, John! Appreciate you being with us!
Great way to think about the game, thanks so much!!
Our pleasure!
Great info watching you verbalize through the process... shot tracer would have been cool to see the shape of the shot/ball compared to the outcome.
Thanks, Aaron!
Agreed...we will look to make some upgrades this year!
This is brilliant! Thank you for this.
Thanks, Jacob! Our pleasure...Iain is great!
This was such a great video, can't wait to try this out on the range. Hopefully I'm successful at least sometimes haha
Will take some time to practice and see results but you stay steady with in over the next 12-24 months and it should work great!
@@CogornoGolf I'll keep it up 💪 it's already made a huge difference
interesting video. But if you have a dominant flight (say a fade) - wouldn't you always be aiming LEFT of the target as long as it isn't trouble?
Hey man!
All else equal I would AIM....wherever you need to aim....so that....the ball lands in the middle of the green for most scenarios.
For low handicap players I would do this 100 yards and out
High handicap players 50 yards and out
scratch players probably 150 and out
So if you fade the ball 8 yards on average I would aim 8 yards left of the center of the green ALL THE TIME.
Then of course you need to factor in wind, trouble, etc next.
Great vid!
Thanks, Joshua!
Love the instruction! I would love to have a 1 on 1 lesson with you! I’m in California!
Thanks, Dom! Come on up for a golf school!
Eric Cogorno Golf where are you located at?
Bethlehem, PA May-Sept
I registered for Performance Golf Zone thinking that was your lesson/class website. What is the difference between PGZ and CogornoGolf.com? I have buyers remorse i think :-(
Hey David!
We do training programs with PGZ! But our community is at Cogornogolf.com where we have all of our other programs and our facebook community!
Would love to see you there! If you want to touch base with support@performancegolfzone.com Im sure they will help you out as well!
Great video,if you have a certain shape of shot this strategy you have to follow.
Thanks, Terry!
This is something my high school team will be working on immediately
Smart! Something I wish I would have spent time on earlier...
Mans really tried suggesting aiming away from the green with greenside water hazards lol
:)
This is probably OK if you can hit straight to start with.
Of course, everything in golf is relative to your skill level, that’s what makes it interesting and challenging game.
Keep working to hit the ball with a more predictable direction and distance. As those skill improve, strategy then begins to become a important variable in golf.
Savvy....you want to build in a ONE WAY curve where you can miss on ONE side.
Everyone can built to that.
Even if thats a ball that slices 20 yards every time and misses to the right every time.
then just work to minimize the curve to 10, 5, etc over time.
I can teach ANYONE to do that who's willing to work.
@@CogornoGolf I will try this but I'm just a bit inconsistent. Not sure it will work at my level.
Then you need to work with a coach to upgrade your mechanics
This is the “dumbed” down version of decade mosty for the masses
Excellent! Love Decade!
Like the idea but course management is low hanging fruit and should be a given. Most amateurs like myself will be better off getting lessons so we can actually hit it to those safe spots
Thanks for the message and feedback...of course you should!
re : the 2 stroke penalty method.
there was no mention of a 2 stroke penalty for leaving a putt short.
the lesson of this exercise should be self explanatory.
Thanks for your feedback!
That’s not the game, did you listen? It’s about missing in the right areas, nothing to do with putting.
@@chrisdixon2843 yes- i did hear the game. yes - i completely understand the teaching method. that's exactly why i mentioned it. because it didn't include putting. 2 putt on every hole = add 18 strokes. leave 18 putts short = add 18 strokes. my point is making ALL putts go past ( or in ) the hole. you cannot sink a putt you leave short. if you're going to miss a putt - miss left - right or long - not short. that was my point.
@@mixter7x7 That was infinitely more helpful and less pompous than your first comment and would actually be a very good addition to the game. Although, that said, I think most people try to get it to the hole or past it in putting whereas what they are getting is amateurs struggle to switch off from pin hunting and don't miss in the right places so it's about a mindset change from "hit the flag" to "where can I afford to miss" which again doesn't really correlate to putting where everybody is trying to get the ball to the hole. I don't know anyone who tries to be short.
@@chrisdixon2843 my less pompous - long version comment was pompously covered as " should be self explanatory " golf is a game of " the least - worst errors " that again should be self explanatory. water left - sand right= err right. that simply sums up this entire lesson. don't forget " golf " is a four letter word.
So what is the penalty for missing?
For the on course in the video it says 2 shot penalty.
For the range practice you can structure it really however you want! Make sure the difficulty is appropriate for your ability level!
Not so.
Played in a pro am last week and pro had 3x double bogeys, and 2 birdies and 5 bogeys for 9 over.
