How amateurs should attack the course.
Zeit4Golf makes gloves and tees that I actually use.

You call yourself an amateur hack? With a plus 9 round? LOL, Hold my Beer!
I've pushed back on the "drive for show, putt for dough" idea, but hearing you often say, "I'll tidy up for par," really shows the importance of confidence on those short range putts.
Love the quack! Lol
Nice round, well played đ
Another great video. May I suggest noting at the beginning if youâre not starting on first tee (shotgun start or maintenance). I was pretty distracted trying to take in each hole in the video as Iâve played here a bunch but was thrown off trying to place myself in your shoes when the âholesâ are different
Watching u make me feel better about my self
try putting more weight on your left foot at setup to get steeper on downhill lies đ€
I judt shot 79 im 13
I like your positive attitude, even on shots that don't go as planned!
I used to film these down the line, but it makes them look about a foot..
Knew you would miss that one Adam. Comedy gold!
Reminds me of Ocotillo in Phoenix a bit due to all the water. Always love seeing new courses!
Random cursing doesnât add to the experience. But it is your channel.
Thank you for the informative video Adam. I've been a huge fan of the channel for a long time
One thing I think would be really cool is seeing you make some videos where you play with a caddie. I really enjoyed your course management thoughts and think it would be interesting to hear you and a caddie navigate a course together. Cheers and keep up the awesome vids dude
Fantastic lag putts the entire round. On greens that looked rather quick no less. Good form. Nice round. đđ»
I have a super steep swing so downhill lies aren't usually an issue for me but uphill lies can turn into accidental flop shots very easily
curious, why are you using a range finder from a few paces off the green @6:30?
Something I notice from the videos your post is the amount of time when you putt you miss the hole by going too narrow due to under reading the putt. This is something I feel a lot of golfers get wrong.
2nd shot on Hole 6 where u land on the edge of the water – why is it not +1 penalty for moving the ball? Asking because I don't know the rules
Best golf show on YouTube for amateurs
Enjoyed watching this. Like others say, you think well when it comes to course management.
If you lean into the slope on shots where you have slope, it will help you make cleaner contact on the ball
Wait why is Mayfair being played like this? Hole 2 for hole 1 and hole 1 for hole 18? Did you guys just skip the first hole in the morning?
Massive fan of your channel Adam⊠2 things I would love to see is your videos to be a bit longer so I can sit down with a beer and enjoy your round (just adding minutes by including practice swings, discussing your shot ect⊠2nd thing is could you please include meters in your distance for us Australians đ.
Keep up the great work and good golfing .
0:52 did somebody step on a duck?
Haha. I think I am rubbing off on you. More edgy narration! And I agree. The face on is better for putts or even angled face on and behind is my preference.
Thank you for the advice man! I have found where to miss and how to play each shot by following your mindset!
Course looks fun and I would say you are not a hack!! I think you are a good amateur golfer!!
You gotta learn how to follow through on your bunker shots and stop stabbing them
You have the mentality of the pros. Very good golf sir
Adam what day did you play?? Looks like a morning round – I played a tourney there last Saturday and saw the KP markers out there etcâŠWondering if I strolled past you without knowing. đđ
those greens are rolling compared to the ones i deal with
What course??
Another great one!
with your help ive went from shooting mid 90s to low 80s
I call my great shots, wrong areaâŠâŠ.right postage, wrong zip. đ
upright swing on a downhill lie works
I like that you don't tell us about the garbage you're sent, but if someone sends you something legit you'll share it and give them their due. btw you're not a twin of him, but if you told people you're Ben Stiller's brother it's EASILY believable. đ
Swing with shorter irons looking real good. If you can raise the angel just a bit with your driver (long irons, hybrids) you'll be golden. It's ok that you are a bit shallow. You can still square it up upon impact. It's almost impossible to square up if you come in to steep, so that's ok. But try it. Raise your driver a tad in backswing, and you naturally swing so much from the back/inside which allows you to turn and square up the face. Get that and you'll see your consistency lvl rise dramatically
I hear you say often that the game starts within 100 yards but, honestly, I think a lot of that stems from the fact that you are a reasonably accurate driver of the golf ball. As someone in the opposite position, who struggles to have control over woods, it sure doesnât feel that way. Arccos tells me Iâm equivalent to a 2 handicap in short game and a +2 in putting, and I am better than my handicap in approach (5 handicap, would be even better if >150 approach didnât count) but I remain a 9 handicap because of terrible driving accuracy (19 handicap).
So I think a lot of how to think about the game depends on where you come from. If I focused on 100 and in Iâd never improve.
How do you rate your bunker play compared to the rest of your game? This one and the last video surprised me a little
Ur pxg driver sounds like a tree trunk hitting an axe
Your swing is garbage. Great videos though
Mayfair may be, some days, the slowest golf course in BC.
I usually attack the ground in front of the ball
Well done!
Getting creative with the titles I see lol
which rangefinder do you use ?
But you started on the 2nd hole I'm so disoriented…. aaaaah!
beautiful course with mountain and city skyline
