Some really great tips Gabe! I struggle quite a bit on shots within 100 yards. The clock technique seems like a good way to control your distance for better approach shots. I need to get out there and practice these short game shots.
Chili Dippa Golf glad to help Mark. The clock drill is a game changer (literally)! ⛳️
I love all golf videos but basically, you're saying: "If you want to break 80, get better at golf." Good tip
Great advice! Gonna start doing more of it. Thank you.
Love your enthusiasm. 😀 Would love to shoot in the 80s let alone 70s ! Great advice 👌
Well done. very logical. I appreciate your comments.
With the chipping tip, you should be reading those like putts expecting to make them. Decide where do you want it to land and how is it going to run out, and they'll start to go in
Great vid. In regard to your chipping tips, reminds of Mel Gibson character in The Patriot said, aim small miss small.
5:30 I totally agree with this, I shot +1 on the front 9 just because I made 95% of these shorter putts, thanks for the mention Gabe, my putting was so good in the tournament, another thing about this (in my opinion) when you talk about restricting movement while putting is that I notice how you spread your legs wider (which is what I'm doing) and I think by spreading your legs wider, this will restrict movement. I also seen this in lower handicappers.
Interesting. I’ve never thought of it that way but makes total sense. I do it to get closer to the ball, but fringe benefit is balance
I par’d for 9 holes recently. I was making a lot of those 5 foot putts!
Some great tips here. I really like the shrinking your target. So important no matter if it is a drive, a lay up, chip or putt. Good video. It should help a lot of players. 👊🏼
Great point, it’s not just for chips. Any shot can benefit from a smaller target. Most people aim to just hit the fairway. I recently played with a tour pro who wanted to land it on a particular mower line to get more roll. That’s next level!
Lets Play Thru I love that 💪🏼 I like to putt to a tee before a round to narrow my focus and remind myself to be precise in my focus 🎯
Awesome, I love that
very nice
Very practical and simple
Thanks for checking it out
I like your approach no pun intended
But I am working on getting my handicap back down to about 10 this year ,
at my best I was probably 4 handicap and it’s the first year back for a long time
I just need to know how much time I need to dedicate to practice, which I have no problem practicing I very much enjoy it
The #1 tip is soooo important. When I play with good players, the thing I always notice is that we all hit bad shots. The difference between scratch or low handicap golfers and mid and high is that the good players won’t make two mistakes in a row. Take their medicine and trust the short game!
Spot on
Becoming deadly from 100 yards and in is huge - love these tips
Yes so many people go to the range and just blast away and never walk over to the chipping green. I’ve been guilty of that myself in the past.
@@LetsPlayThru absolutely, and it takes a lot discipline to zone in on wedge distances at the range - it's a lot easier to blast driver
Great tips man!!! so true, I finally broke 80 in competition and I agree 👍
The Backyard Golfer awesome Erich, Congrats on breaking 80 in competition. Extra pressure in that situation too. Not sure if you saw but I gave your channel a shout out and left a link in the description.
@@LetsPlayThru Yes thanks man!!! 6:21 my putting stance looks just like yours now 😂. If you think about it's true, if you stand with your legs closer together, it's very easy to rotate and if you spread your legs wider, movement is definitely restricted 👍
Great tips, will keep in mind and hopefully break into 80s soon 😁
Practice and concentration, you can do it
"Old" analog clock lol, I was dying after that. And as a left hander I was also thinking you mean like three O'clock haha. Also this is going to be an underrated video. It was so good and filled with perfect tips. Best part is you had so many chances to do a sponsor of this video and didn't and kept it clean, nicely done sir
Thanks David. I’m going to do a Breaking 100 & Breaking 90 video as well. So wherever someone’s game is at, they’ll have some tips to improve.
@@LetsPlayThru perfect! I'm right at that 93 to 91 range, so I'm close but haven't snagged it yet. However some days I see close to 100 haha, but everyone has bad days
Sweet, let’s get an 89 or better on your card
@@LetsPlayThru I won't stop till I do (other than winter of course) haha
@@davidbranch9584 That's the spirit!
I have broken 80 once in competition. The difference was that I kept the tee shots in play. The courses I play on are tree lined, several trees deep. My secret weapon is my Cobra single length 19 degree hybrid. It gets me out of trouble so well. I think accepting that a poor lie means that you need to change your club selection and your expectations for the shot. In many cases advancing towards the green and keeping the ball in play is the better strategy.
I love anything 100-80. I can hit a full gap or a full sw. I got to find my 60 and below. I think it’s getting better with not full shots. I weirdly hit gir at a high clip. I’m good with pw, at 120, gap at 100, sw 80-85. I aim to get to 100 yards. If it’s a good hit I’ll usually be around a sw. if it’s normal I’m at a gap wedge, if it’s bad I’m 120-140. I’m good with short irons. But chipping putting gives me the problem. Mainly a problem with thin shots around the green
It’s so hard to practice distance on the range. Range balls are typically worn or not even full distance balls. I traditionally only practice line on the range. Anyone have any pointers?
Double bogeys come from playing too aggressive by trying to make birdies.
Forget PAR on hole it's a concept.
Also playing of forward tees will help with scoring.
.
So the key to breaking 80 is .... to play better golf ? Invaluable.
I am deadly from 70 or 80 yards! But guess what is even more deadly?? The wind!!!! It always messes me up!!!
Also, make sure that you play more than once a year.
Ha! Yeah that def helps too!
More than once a week even to do it consistently
So basically, the only advice I got from your video is to quit my job and practice 6-8 hours a day.
Make it 12-14 and go pro
I wonder how people broke 80 pre range finder days. Puzzled...
Well, don't forget lots of folks had caddies too. Courses were shorter, but now equipment is longer and more forgiving.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a stat but I bet there are more folks breaking 80 these days then ever before. Would be interesting to find out.
@@LetsPlayThru lol, I was being a smartass.
Gabe you lost weight way to go
I think it was either Arnold Palmer or Tom Kite who said “a double bogey is a bad shot followed by a stupid shot!”…..take your medicine and limit the damage!
Words of wisdom for sure!
The secret to playing decent golf in the 70s is very simple; Dont F up.
not compounding errors is key for sure. Everyone is going to hit a bad shot from time to time, but the next Recovery shot can be critical.
Aim small, miss small.
