My biggest take-aways from Nick, that I am still not doing consistently, are to focus on the process rather than the outcome, and to "aim small", particularly on recovery shots. Something we handicap golfers need to remember too is that 'taking our medicine' (and likely giving up a shot) is exactly what our handicaps are for. I've only properly come to grips with that idea recently. Now I can say to myself "I have 10 strokes so I can afford to use one on this recovery shot." I've probably saved 3 strokes a round by being willing to use my handicap.
People complaining that he’s a 10 handicap and won’t do much wrong are just wrong. A lower handicap will do many of the things wrong that a high handicapper will do, just a little less often. They’ll have a slightly better game to scramble and better ability with recovery shots to save a score. These tips are great and for everyone.
I’m a 2, I do all of these things as well. Just less often than everyone else. Golf is tough for everyone and every step of the way, even for low handicappers and people on the verge of scratch.
A low handicap player with years of experience was the challenge for the golf coach. Plenty of other videos out there for the high handicapper working on their game. Great video about actually playing golf! Excellent
Really liked the rule of thumb for the effect that wind speed has… does this apply however regardless of overall distance of the shot… I.e. same for a 100yard wedge shot as for the drive off the tee?
How does he hear all the right things then answer what does success look like wrong? The answer is this: I hit every single shot during an important round with full commitment, good posture, and did not once think about the score!
I don’t like his idea of success as he’s setting himself up for failure. Aiming to shoot better than your handicap means you’ve shot a rip snorter of a round as your handicap should be what you can play to not what you routinely play to. Don’t get me wrong we all want to have a blinder of a round during club champs etc but let’s be honest that will be the rare outcome. Good tips in the video though. Love the one about don’t hit it if you don’t believe it’s right. I do that too often.
Totally agree Nick. Your handicap is the measure of your potential, not your average. So, I'd think I had a successful day if I could play TO my handicap in a 'big' event.
Please, bring back the eyeglasses. Whoa! Nice clubs! Edit, so many gems, I'm saving it. "Before u take the club back, u and jon Rahm have the same ability." "A (questionable) decision with commitment will get a better result than a 'good' decision without commitment."
Alright find someone with a 20-25 handicap and do the same thing. That person may care equally as much about golf but hasn’t had the opportunity to play a lot or pay for a lesson, let alone give this guy a free set of $2,000 clubs
@@annefilippobertozzi7601 I’m saying this guy with a 10 handicap doesn’t need that much help. They should find someone on course with a higher handicap and give them the chance to play/be caddied by a pro. They are going to benefit much more than someone with a 10 handicap
Nick is a class act. Comes across so well whether he's on camera or on a podcast and you can tell just how much he loves the game.
Tip 2 about distances is by far one of the most underrated aspects of on coarse knowledge that we all neglect, great video

Upwind and Downwind rule was very well described, great work Nick!

Aim small / miss small is what I took away from this wonderful tutorial.

Lots of great tips that’ll surely help my game. Thanks guys!
This is sych an excellent video..one of the best I've ever seen on you tube. Kudos.

Fantastic video. Thank you.
Love this type of vid Can u do this 6 then 9 then 12 then 15 then 18? Would love to see it
Great content 👌
Thx Lads
A 10-handicapper, I wish, been at it for a year+ consistently golfing 3-4xs a week, and I’m still shooting in the 100s… great tips.
take lessons. there is no other way around it
Only juniors get down to 10 in one year… take your time (and some lessons…).
great advice all-round
thanks
Not too much going wrong if he's off a 10 handicap! Lovely swing from the coach.
I’m a 9 handicap and trust me there’s still plenty going wrong 😂
This is a frustrating game: nobody’s satisfied with his own…
@@gleneth True, we all want to improve and see our own faults!
Great tipps!
LOVE!
Great video
Excellent👍
Why not show the actually 3 holes and Nick giving advise to Mike on the course
A 10 handicap is a good player. My lowest handicap is 12.3, and I was the best in my group.
What is “R cost data?” Thanks
Posture- 'Getting stuck inside yourself' is a wake-up call
Please don't encourage people to use wind speed apps out on a golf course! We all need to be home before midnight.
first one

Too much talking and standing around uggg. ☹️☹️
10 handicap? He has nothing to complain about. Try a higher handicap golfer....
Nonsense.

Thanks Nick for the great tips. Quite useful for us all.
