[PingGolfer59]

[qbb01]

8 under is good, but the holes are like 100metres long lol

Ethan this is Jacob once again can you make a video on chipping with long irons my coach tells me you need to learn how to chip with every club in your bag. is this true, if so can you please make a video on how to do it? Thank you.

[myc724]

@theJCRballer: I think what your coach was trying to say, is that you need to learn how to chip with every irons and you always chip the same way. If you want the ball to go different yardages, change clubs. Don’t change your stance or anything else in your stroke. Please check out my “Chipping Essentials” video. ~Ethan~

[FanOfHoneydew]

@myc724 Ethan, this is alec, i haven't talked to you, just left some positive comments, but my coach, leonard, says i need my swing to be square to the ball, lined up to where i am aiming, and my arms need to be very high, and not "flat", can you do a video on swing essentials or something like that? I am very confused and my dad doesnt know what to do as well. Only if you have the time to do this, thanks.

Alec

[myc724]

@FanOfHoneydew: I think what your coach is trying to say, is that your club face needs to be facing where you are aiming. I don't quite understand the second part, but I wouldn't raise my arms. My arms lead my takeaway, but after that my arms go with my body. ~Ethan~

[jonny818boy]

Ethan is an insanely good golf player. He has a bright future ahead of him. I’m a young adult and new to golf, watching Ethan’s videos has been very helpful in teaching me how to play. Thanks Ethan! Keep up the good work!

[17goduke]

I got an eagle on the 1st hole of my tournament i hit my driver,7 iron, and then made like a 5 foot putt. I didnt shoot 8 under though. I also had a couple birdies.

[Steele4689]

[chavezdude100]

[JJbrubaker]

He has the mannerisms of a mature adult. A bit scary...

[intheloo2]

this kid id amazing!!! everytime i see him play he just gets better. i was wondring if he has a handicap?  anyways ethan keep up the great work!!!

[myc724]

@intheloo2 : Thanks! He does not have handicap. He plays USKG yardage which is shorten by age. So, he can break even most of time.

[myc724]

@intheloo2 ; thanks! most of the tournament he played shorten the yardage by age, so he can break even-par very often.

[xACiiDTWiZZleR]

shit hes probably better than me

[3marble]

plus he is the nicest and most respectful kids I have ever met. His dad is even tempered, knowledgable and lets Ethan play his own game. We love to play with Ethan because it is not a game of egos..... Ethan you have the right attitude and it is an honor to play with you at the tournaments -- Nancy Marble (John's mom)

[myc724]

Hi, Nancy & John: Congratulation, fabulous job in Jekyll Island! You must be really excited flying home with a big trophy. Thanks for your compliments and Ethan also enjoys to play with you. We definitely will see you guys more often in the future tour. Cheers!

[RK831]

Amazing! This kid's swing fundamentals are perfect, along with those of his short game and putting stroke, not to mention superb touch around the greens. All he needs when he gets older is distance control with his irons, because distance/accuracy will not be a problem off the tee given his fundamentals. This kid will be good!

[shawn0105]

how long is a par 5 and par 4? My son he's 4 and he plays from the red. I really want to start him on the right distance for his age, thanks in advance!

[myc724]

par 5 is about 175 ~ 190 yards, par 4 is 110 ~ 130 yards, and par 3 is 75 ~ 85 yards. Total is

1130.

[Akonftme]

[KarlGolf]

Hey Ethan, gr8 golf dude. Your driving, approach shots and putting were simply awesome.

I'll be playing in both San Diego and Pinehurst this summer, so let's have a few practice rounds together in San Diego beforehand.

Cheers from Downunder, Karl and his Dad.

[myc724]

Hi Karl, thanks! I am looking forward to play with you again. My mom said we will arrive SD on Jul. 11. And, my dad said youtube does not allow us to post email/url in comment. So, when your travel scheduling is done, please send me an email at the address shown on my website.

Be good,

Ethan
