  • ey Brady, it's a shame that I only had one camera but I can tell you that the shot nestled up to about a foot from the pin. These are just the local pros in the Vancouver area and it is amazing how good these guys are. It just goes to show how thin the margin is between a local pro and the tour players. All these pros usually film the tip in just one take, the hardest part for them is getting my website name correct.

  • @bigboyrichbitch Well since 3 footers are always on the green then Id pretty much guarantee a golfer would choose a putter. Nice try though buddy. They make a PW, 50 degree, 54, 56, 58, 60, 64 wedge. All these will not hit the ball 60 to 70 yds with this advice. Watch Phil Mickelsons videos on pitching to gain a more intelligible approach to the short game. Im not disagreeing with the technique. But to help the beginner out you could explain how the different lofts are used.

  • @theciskokidd yeah i agree, i think its up to instructors to tell you not to take driver when working on 3 footers.

  • owen wilson?

  • You may remember me from how not to cut your hair or some one off golf tuition

  • One thing you didn't really mention there is that you're keeping your weight on the inside of your back foot during the backswing, and shifting it forward on the downswing. So many people get the weight on the outside of their back foot during the backswing, making the quality of contact very inconsistent. When you do that, you have to time it really well to have the weight distribution correct at impact. Result's usually thin or fat shots. I've been guilty of this at times myself.

  • where did the ball go ? It could have gone in the water for all we know!
