Transcripts
whether you've been playing a while or
you're a new player you want to break a
100 because then you have the confidence
to go join any group at the golf course
knowing that you'll play okay and make
new friends you don't need to hit the
ball very far I'm going to show you 10
steps how to break 100 guaranteed
tomorrow the first step is to change it
to a par 99 golf course you do that by
adding one shot to the stroke index 10
to 18 on the scorecard you add two shots
to the stroke index 1 to9 on the
scorecard that equals a grand total of a
new par 99 because you've increased the
par of every hole you increase the
number of Strokes you need to get the
ball on the green which relieves a lot
of pressure I'm going to show you right
now the only thing you need to break 100
is a club that goes around 150 y
reliably in the direction that you
intended to go this is stroke index 9 we
added two shots this is a par six hole
amazing if we can do it in less than six
that's a bonus if we get six we're on
our way to Breaking 100 we see that the
pin is 205 yards using our Rangefinder
so we're going to split up our shots to
hit two shots of 100 or another shot of
150 plus a 50 yard pitch I think today
I'm feeling 150 plus a
pitch now that's going to happen to you
quite a lot you're going to Duff
especially on the opening holes a really
bad shot remember if you hit a shitty
shot in the first few holes cuz you're
scared and you've got problems just
continue with the same strategy 176 wow
now I'll hit my 150 club and I'll pitch
it on with my sand Wich let's go a
little bit right so we just stay far
from those bunkers at that big ass
tree okay we're back in play to play the
strategy effectively you want to play
te's that are 6,000 y maximum when
you're trying to break 100 you should
not be playing 6,400 yard 6,600 y T's
according to the rang finder we have 55
yards left you have to decide is this a
good range for you or not what is your
favorite range we call it the free throw
range it means you're automatic from
that position as someone trying to break
100 you may not be automatic from all
positions but you may have some
distances you love and some distances
you hate avoid the ones you hate engage
with the ones you like it may be a 70
yard shot 80 yard shot or 90 yard shot
pick your favorite and try get the ball
to that position every
time KY no good now I've told you you
need a 150 yard shot you're going to
break 100 but that's not all you also
need a pitching wedge and a sand wedge
the pitching wedge you need to know the
full shot distance because we're going
to use that to hit the green your Sand
Wedge the same we want the full shot
distance so we can hit greens from that
distance this is stroke index 13 we've
added one shot to this it was a par four
now it's a par five we need to hit this
green in only three shots very short
distance let's get the ball in play and
then for our second shot let's find a
way to set up our free throw distance
our favorite shot into the
green perfect this is where these two
clubs the pitching wedge and The Sand
Wedge that I've told you to use are
going to come into play Big Time we
don't want to go in bunkers we don't
want to go in hazards that's where the
problems start higher lofted clubs like
these they tend to curve much less so
you have more control over them and in
the future the 56Β° and the pitching
wedge are going to be your go-to clubs
now from this distance it's a bit tricky
we have 233 yards to the hole what's
your free throw distance mine is 100 yd
with a 56Β° so I'm going to hit a
pitching wedge about 120 y to leave
myself the 56Β° that's how we plot our
way around to hit this green in three
shots we have 110 yards left so that's
just outside of the range of my sand
wedge potentially for you that could be
the pitching wedge range but let's
understand that's to the pin if we can
get this to the front of the green we're
happy if we go over that pin and we go
instead of 110 yards we go 120 we're
still on the green you don't have to
shoot to the pin distance just around
about so I'm going to hit my sandwich as
usual and if I'm 10 yard short of of
this pin that's fine we can just two put
from there we're not Pros we're trying
to break 100 so let's get it close to
the green at
least one of the big things you see when
your try break a 100 is that you might
hit the ball past the hole on a downhill
and this can be the bane of your
resistance a lot of the time is that now
you have a uphill putt after the
downhill and you're freaked from the
speed so you hit it too soft when you
hit it downhill too far past the hole
remember to hit it a little firmer back
up the hill and reduce the amount of
brake because when you hit it firmer it
takes less break and then it goes in the
cup but if you hit that soft and leave
it short that's a three putt at least
give it a chance to get up the hole
we're on the first Power five it's a
stroke one index that means it's the
most difficult hole on the golf course
remember the stroke one index we added
two shots to so the par five becomes a
par seven we only need to hit this green
in five shots and two putt imagine that
okay we need 150 y with a Big Slice so
we aim it down the left side we don't
aim for a Fantom shot straight down the
center of the Fairway we're going to be
playing from the right rough we accept
that and we
go now we're in the right rough we still
have four shots to hit this green so
we're in a bit of trouble on the right
side here but we can see the Fairway
let's play to what we can see we just
chip the ball back we use the
rangefinder again to find a distance on
The Fairway in front of us to hit the
ball so to be safe here I have to hit
the ball 67 yard probably up to those
bull rushes there which is at the
beginning of the water 140 yard so I'm
going to go for like a 100 yard shot get
me back in play and then we'll reassess
from there so I'm going to use my hybrid
again just to make it a little bit more
difficult for myself to show you how you
can do this with your confidential clubs
easily and now we're back in play three
more shots to the green maybe we can do
it in two got 245 yards we're going to
hit a 150 yard shot try leave ourself
about 90 to 100 into the hole maybe we
can get ahead of the five shots here cuz
we're playing it very
clever inside your pitching wedge and
Sand Wedge range this is going to be the
biggest reason to use a rangefinder now
you're going to know the exact distance
you have to the flag so you can pick the
exact right Club from this point we have
91 yard what we can also check here when
you're trying to break 100 is you have
to just avoid the water right get it out
of your mind focus on the back of the
green 90 yards to the pin you could
probably hit this 100 110 yards to stay
dry we're on the back of the green and
that's all we needed we're so happy we
there in one under our designated five
when you're around these greens in under
the amount of Strokes you're supposed to
take according to your new scorecard
like this four instead of five don't get
downhearted if you do take three shots
from here remember our Target was seven
shots for the hole if we three put from
here it's a seven if we two put it's a
six for us that's really good I'm going
to show you here I would Pat from this
distance most of the time and then I'll
show you how to chip it even easier than
any chipping you've done
before
now if you look at that whatever
distance you are from that hole that is
your final shot you were supposed to
take to get on the green that's number
five if I gave you that putt from the te
for number five putting is really a
great thing you can do around the greens
if you don't have confidence in chipping
but if you often chunk the ball and
double chip that's where you're going to
lose a lot of Strokes when you break 100
so what I suggest you start doing is
instead of try to hold the club face
flat on the ground get a little bit
closer to the ball and lift that handle
up and make it like a putt and try hit
the ball or really I mean the toe of the
club here where the grooves end toward
the end of the club pick a spot onto the
green that you want to land the ball on
this is going to take practice and then
hit a putting
stroke like that and watch how the ball
lands and rolls out every time the same
way because this is a very consistent
and easy way to chip instead of trying
to clip it off the surface putting style
hit it off the toe easy game
okay we don't make it we've got
ourselves a beautiful seven right on
target for what we want no complaints
great day this is stroke 17 we've only
added one stroke to this par this
changes from a par three to a par four
let's play it like a par four if you
have confidence to go to the left side
of the green where it's nice and open
not directly over the bunkers you have
to do that I'm going to show you the
alternative if you're not feeling
100%
just find a nice big fat patcho short of
the bunkers 100 yards out you have a 100
yard shot don't deny me that and I'll
show you how to pitch that up there like
a boss you want to know the most Sage
thing possible is that you may think
you're not playing real Golf and people
are going to laugh at you but the people
who appreciate this will be low
handicappers who think look at this guy
playing what he knows playing the game
according to his strengths and that's
exactly what I'm showing you we've now
laid up on this path three remember we
have a pitching wedge and we have a sand
w wedge we can use both of them for
pitching both toe down we can do a
pitching wedge toe down got to be
reasonably aggressive to land this on
the
green and it's gone a little right to
the pin but remember it's a par four so
we're on in
two now we have a sandwich we can also
do tow down chipping with this but we
have to be really aggressive cuz we have
10 more degrees of
Loft and that's even better you have two
clubs for pitching and chipping right
here work out a way to hit them with tow
down chipping or pitching and you know
what you're going to find you're going
to find with a half swing like that
you're going to find a 30 yd pitch with
your 56 and a 50 yd pitch with your
pitching wedge with the exact same swing
adding two shots to Your Arsenal on the
road to Breaking
100
this is a very important hole because we
have to carry water and then we have a
pin on the green tucked behind a bunker
this is the death of breaking 100 when
you try go at these pins when there's a
bunker in the way and you're not
proficient from bunkers we have an
entire galaxy to the left of the green
and a lot of green on the left so from
130 yard you may have to hit your 150
yard club and just hit it to the back of
the green but slow but surely you'll add
some more clubs to Your Arsenal as you
become more confident and you find gaps
in the distance range that you need to
plug I'm just going to go well left to
the Big Texas fat part of the green on
the left no pin hunting just get the
ball dry get it on the
green and we're on the back Edge we dry
we're loving life every now and then
you're going to hit great little shot
right onto The Fringe of a par three or
a short Par Four something like that and
you're going to have a real chance at a
professional par and look at this if we
just putt this really nicely get the
pace correct line is not that important
but if the pace is good we're going to
leave ourselves a very short put for a
three look at that you can do it we're
on a par five stroke index five meaning
we added two shots to the par it's a par
seven so we have to get this ball on the
Green in five shots and take two putts
let's just get the ball in play there's
nothing to stress about actually we
don't have to go in the bunkers we can
carry this water very easily as long as
we play for our shot shape don't aim for
Phantom shot shapes so for example I'm
going to hit a big old slice here aim it
up at the bunker knowing I'm not going
to reach the bunker if it goes straight
but if it makes a big old slice I'm in
the middle of the Fairway 150 yard
maximum wow what a beautiful day how do
we set up our free throw shot we aim to
the Fairway that we can see it's very
wide there so we want to take the widest
part of the Fairway let's shoot the
range founder to that bunker in the
distance to see what we can hit without
reaching that bunker which gives us a
sense of confidence and comfort that
bunker is 220 yard away I don't even
have a 220 yard Club I have 150 yard
Club so we're going to hit that and see
what distance we get to before we go for
the green 280 150 y Club into the bro
it's going going to go a little bit
shorter now for you that might be a
faded shot into the right side of the
Fairway it doesn't matter as long as you
have confidentiality with the shot to
clear this water and get it up there and
then we're going to reassess see if we
go for the green or put it to our free
throw distance we have to remember that
we have the shot in our artillery but
we're going over water there's a bunker
there there's disaster in between us and
the hole how confident are you hitting
your 50 yard shot and just getting that
stuff out of your mind in front of you
if you are not you can't hit the shot
you have to take the danger out of play
and go to the right of the green and put
it in the fat part of the Fairway to
pitch it on the green for four shots
every now and then you're going to face
these shots but take into account what's
in front of you what's scaring you if
it's too scary and there's a chance of
going in because you're going to take a
penalty shot when you do just play away
from it because as soon as you do
something silly and put it into the
hazard now you have Toop drop you have
to take an extra shot and you're getting
stressed about it so let's go to the
right so let's take the danger out of
play 139 Ys let's hit something like 80
or 90 yards up the Fairway there and
Pitch onto the green with our free throw
distance are the dingleberries going to
mock you yes but those dingleberries
can't shoot under 100 and you can
because you've been following the way of
the player golf sidekick style and
you're going to get under there much
quicker than
there
no unnecessary risks we're only trying
to break 100 and we're going to try get
this close again but at least just get
it on the green so we can get ourselves
a
PT just on the front we've got ourselves
a putt we're really feeling good about
ourselves that's how you break 100 now
if you keep doing these things you're
going to build an arsenal of shots that
are going to help you break 90 you're
going be able to move back in the t's
and you'll notice that the strategy
doesn't change just the distances change
a bit and you'll actually score around
the same you'll break a 100 from further
back te's then you'll start breaking 90
watch the braking 90 video right over
here on how to do this the exact same
way with slightly longer clubs
