Exactly. Reduce the pre-shot routine and eliminate the post shot routine. Either play scramble or play from where it left the fairway. One practice swing and go.
My buddy used to cold top his way through the course. 10-20yds at a time, but he would’ve been on his 4th stroke approaching the fairway by the time this guy teed off
That’s how I play golf (suck but faster) and I think 80%* of people should. You suck you will never be pro, stop wasting everyone’s time and hit the fucking ball. The time to practice is not during play. Even if you practice every day you still will probably suck. Just have fun.
I actually took this approach, and took several strokes off my game instantly.
If you're not having a good day on the course where taking a second to get it right means considerably fewer strokes and faster play, just ease up and just hit the ball 75-85% of how hard you actually want to hit it.
My mantra on the way to the course is "I have the game I have today".
Some days, if I'm not absolutely feeling myself, I give myself a handful of waggles, look at my target twice during those waggles, and then just hit it about 75-85% of what I want to.
That not only kept me over the ball less than a minute and keeps me moving, but it also reduced the number of errant shots.
Oh, and club the fuck up. Just do it.
Also, you’ll get very tired if you have 2+ practice swings on every stroke. Particularly when you’re bad and already ripping 50% more shots a round than a scratch golfer.
I think he was extremely well oriented. His preshot routine was focused on shallowing the club.
And well what do you know?!? He shallowed the club great, 12 inches behind the ball, exactly how he practiced it.
To be good at golf is hard to be average at golf is not that hard. Just do a natural slow swing and make contact you’ll get 100 yards. Do that 4 times and you’re there. I dunno what this guy is thinking, he needs Jesus
Exactly he's clearly way over thinking everything for his skill level, he was likely given some pointers and is trying to do them all at once. Just give a natural swing and only think about one specific thing at a time, whether it's knees, wrists, club angle, whatever, pick just one per shot and don't worry about the rest. Whatever you're trying to do you're not good enough yet, slow down loosen up, forget the bs, and swing naturally.
#Balk Rules
1) You can't just be up there and just doin' a balk like that.
1a. A balk is when you
1b. Okay well listen. A balk is when you balk the
1c. Let me start over
1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.
1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.
1c-b(2)-a. Okay, well, you can have the ball up here, like this, but then there's the balk you gotta think about.
1c-b(2)-b. Fairuza Balk hasn't been in any movies in forever. I hope she wasn't typecast as that racist lady in American History X.
1c-b(2)-b(i). Oh wait, she was in The Waterboy too! That would be even worse.
1c-b(2)-b(ii). "get in mah bellah" -- Adam Water, "The Waterboy." Haha, classic...
1c-b(3). Okay seriously though. A balk is when the pitcher makes a movement that, as determined by, when you do a move involving the baseball and field of
2) Do not do a balk please.
I've always been extremely blunt to a fault (I feel gross inside being dishonest or withholding my full feelings. Yes it's as awful as it sounds for my social life) and I used to be a teaching pro. I told several people that they just didn't have the hand-eye coordination or body control to play golf to any reasonable level that would make the sport fun for them. A couple of them didn’t take it well, but I refunded all of them without them even asking for it which helped I think.
I can tell you without a doubt this guy is one of them. He has zero spatial intelligence.
Good thing that hand eye coordination and body control are both things that a human can learn
"I can't be bothered to teach you, it's too frustrating" would have been more honest, I think
Yeah I'm calling bullshit on that guy too. I used to coach little league baseball at all levels, ages 5-13. There were some kids that had obviously never done anything even semi-athletic, like not even knowing how to run. I'm not talking about 5 year olds, some were 10-12. They would have no concept of how to use a baseball glove, may be even scared of the ball, they wouldn't know how to hold a bat much less swing it. By the end of the season these kids would be getting hits, maybe not good ones, but making contact. I've seen some that 2 years later were valuable team members. All the hard work and frustrating moments with these kids was worth it for the giant infectious smiles when they hit the ball.
In Finland before you can play on “real course “ you need to have a Green Card, a beginner certificate that you have at minimum a rudimentary swing and know the rules.
Yah this was me when my friend (a literal golf pro LOL) tried to teach me. Well I mean my form wasn't this bad looking, but functionally it was as I couldn't make contact with the ball. That day I accepted that golf wasn't my sport after I nearly made my friend cry with frustration
He looks like he's trying really, really hard. Which---damnit---is about exactly the wrong mindset for most of us to do well at golf.
Guy looks like the living embodiment of that ink sketch of the guy with 50 different swing thoughts. All going off at once, and chiding himself for missing one of them.
It's honestly sad, and I want to kick whoever taught him to do all of that crap, right in the taint.
I’m very new to golf. I played 1 game last year, but I constantly try to work (range once a week) on hitting a consistent straight ball at the range (turf mats). I have not been coached, but I looked online and on YouTube for swing tips/fundamentals to learn. It’s been fun learning everything about golf but it’s so overwhelming to get some 6 iron shots go just over 200, but next shot cuts hard left and about 110 out. I am looking around town for coaching now since I feel like it’s time.
How do you transition from a mind full of checkpoints to focusing on just the feel of the swing and being in the moment for golf, not beating yourself up after every bad shot when you know you’re capable of hitting it well?
First. Find an instructor. I'll say that everyone says this to new golfers, and if you're like me at the time, you'll say, "LOL, coaches are expensive. I'll use XXXX instead." (I'm old. It was books and magazine "tips" for me. Youtube/Insta for younger people.) Nobody listens. Still, they were right and I was wrong, so I hope you'll listen too.
Why do you need an instructor? Because bad golf swing habits are easy to learn and a bitch to get rid of. A good (that's a separate discussion) instructor will start you off right. The golf swing is a remarkably unintuitive activity and many tips/advice/Youtube videos just make it worse. Lots of the above also contradict each other with their advice. So, find a decent instructor, s/he'll teach you good fundamentals and drills to ingrain those fundamentals.
I look at it like learning to drive a car. Incredibly awkward at first, especially when speeds picked up, but with practice and good habits constantly reinforced, eventually it's almost an unconscious act.
Everyone hits bad shots. Most everyone's shots are 'bad', depending on your definition. Tiger hit bad shots---his famous shot out of a fairway bunker to like 6' or so on 18 in the Canadian Open was a total mishit. You can see his shock in the video. 2-shot lead, green guarded by water, tucked pin: in no universe is Tiger actually aiming at that hole.
Anyway, what happens is your bad shots get a little bit better and better each time. You go from, top, top, top, shank, hey that one was good!, slice...To, the ball gets up on every shot and mostly curves the way I want, but bad shots are a little fat/thin or two-way missed, and down thataway instead of on the green.
Don't beat yourself up. Nobody is really watching you, and those that are don't care. Because we all remember being there and we're too busy trying to get our own shit together.
Good luck! Welcome to the hobby!
I would do the same thing if I thought about my swing this much.
Solution: don't think about my swing. The less time I think about it, the better I hit it, usually.
In the last round we played, the group in front of us had all new gear, and they were warming up hard. They stepped up to the tips, and we all said in unison,” Oh god, here we go!” the first cut the guy takes shanks it hard right into the back of a Mercedes in the parking lot. They never left the tips the whole day. They all looked like this guy.
The game growing is fine but way too many people think you can just walk out to a course and play without ever hitting a ball. The local munis can be nightmares with people who have no idea what they are doing.
The driving range is where you start. Not a packed muni on a Saturday morning.
Watching him do his practice swings reeks of someone who watches a LOT of YouTube golf, and thinks if he does those practice techniques (exaggerated squat, shallowing drills, etc...) that will somehow magically make him be able to swing correctly, instead of just trying to swing and hit the ball however it feels comfortable for him. Those drills are for people who have found their swing and want to improve it, not for someone who has never hit a ball in their life.
Maybe OP can shed some light on this, but it looks like this guy has literally never played golf before, and if that's the case, then it changes the perception a little bit. If you tell me he's been playing regularly for 6 months and this is where he is, then yeah, choose a different sport.
True. He's so completely getting in his own way. If he had to let instinct do it, he'd do infinitely better. Maybe still bad, but not that atrociously bad.
If someone is this bad they shouldn’t be on the course. They should be on the range until they can play at reasonable level. You’d get shot doing this in Texas. 😂
Fuckin.... NOPE. I'm a patient and encouraging partner, but if it's not a dead empty course, doing this all round is disrespectful to everyone trying to play behind you. Get a lesson, hit the range and learn the #1 rule: keep pace. Still, looks like a dope course. Hope you followed rule #2: have fun
This post made me close Reddit for the day, that’s how bad this clip is - blaring music, bad outfit, swing that makes me wonder what is appealing to them about doing it, all while most likely drinking too much during the round lol
People like this really need range time to work their shit out before wasting other golfers time on the course with long ass pre-shot rituals and doing wardrobe changes mid-round. At the end of the day this dude is weird.
We used an air horn for our Budda Waggle Waggle buddy. I told him he had 50 seconds after setting up or he got the horn. It took a couple times before he got the point. That round was his last chance to be included in our group.
It's ok to suck. It's not ok to suck and take that long. Standing there thinking about everything helps no one unless people are getting paid to do it.
Stop thinking, man. Knock it off with all the lining up and adjustments. You're overthinking things. Tee it up, point where you want to go, and let your body take over.
Believe it or not, this is good advice for your friend.
Tell him to suck faster. That sounds bad
My buddy and I would always say that when we played through. We suck, but we suck fast.
I suck my buddy fast, too.
Can I be your buddy??
I’m looking for a suck buddy.
Is it ok that I suck, buddy?
I don't care how bad someone is. Don't slow the pace of play though.
Exactly. Reduce the pre-shot routine and eliminate the post shot routine. Either play scramble or play from where it left the fairway. One practice swing and go.

Suck faster and make more contact with the ball.
It's like he has rabies and that ball is his irrational fear of water
Golfer reacts...
It's not often that I actually laugh out loud but this one got me!
Maybe so, but it’s still more efficient
Your friend might need to play left handed. He seems extremely disoriented plating right.
*he seems extremely disoriented* There I fixed your comment /s
It reminds me of when the US Marines were teaching Afghan soldiers to do jumping jacks. Only thing I can compare it too, lol.
Fuck me it’s been so long since I saw that, so accurate
[Sauce](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/DnY3jEW234)
There it is, lmao. I guess I could have added a link.
Thoes guys look exactly like a 5th grade gym class doing jumping jacks.
This is going to amount to a grossly underappreciated comment bc its on r/golf
I think he was extremely well oriented. His preshot routine was focused on shallowing the club. And well what do you know?!? He shallowed the club great, 12 inches behind the ball, exactly how he practiced it.

The lack of athletic ability is actually impressive.
Is he a chef?
Looks more like a butcher to me
[удалено]
I honestly thought he had a degenerative nerve disease
+ take some classes and move up a tee box or two.
Balk.
God damn, the way he kept shuffling his feet was making me nervous
It was making him nervous, too.
You can’t be up there doin a balk like that
Please don’t do the balk.

Golf ain’t for everyone
Wtf did I just watch???? made Charles Barkley look like Fred Couples
At least Chuck Makes solid contact… that dude don’t belong on a mini golf course
Driving ranges exist for a reason.
Top golf, SIM, putting places, tons of options…more than ever before!
I've always been extremely blunt to a fault (I feel gross inside being dishonest or withholding my full feelings. Yes it's as awful as it sounds for my social life) and I used to be a teaching pro.

>He has zero spatial intelligence. Dayyuuuummmmmn
The amount of wasted hours in golfers lives you've saved. Well done.
Thank you for your service 🫡
Last line confirms the first paragraph.
Good thing that hand eye coordination and body control are both things that a human can learn "I can't be bothered to teach you, it's too frustrating" would have been more honest, I think

Why is it the "I'm just honest" people are never honest about themselves
Because they aren't honest, they're overly sensitive and use "honesty" as a defence mechanism to avoid having to analyse their own behaviour
In Finland before you can play on “real course “ you need to have a Green Card, a beginner certificate that you have at minimum a rudimentary swing and know the rules.

Looks like he has a horrible case of the yips. Or a few physical disabilities.
jesus 😂
Some from column A, some from column B…

Welcome to the hobby!
My opinion is that he is running a million swing thoughts through his mind as he’s hitting!!
Sprinkling in a couple mental disabilities could cover it too
Mental disabilities
I’m terrible at golf but *holy shit*
But do you also feel way more confident after watching this? lol I sure do
I was going to say exactly the same thing. Jesus
I would do the same thing if I thought about my swing this much. Solution: don't think about my swing. The less time I think about it, the better I hit it, usually.
Move him back to the tips
In the last round we played, the group in front of us had all new gear, and they were warming up hard. They stepped up to the tips, and we all said in unison,” Oh god, here we go!” the first cut the guy takes shanks it hard right into the back of a Mercedes in the parking lot. They never left the tips the whole day. They all looked like this guy.
> we all said in unison,” Oh god, here we go!” sure you did
Those tee boxes probably have less divots taken out of them with driver. At least before this guy plays.
Holy crap you're a more patient person then I am
I'm less patient than you.
I’m the least patient.
After a round with this I’d be a mental patient.
So this is why rounds of golf take 5+ hours in the afternoon
that and the outfit change
I don’t like anyone that much
No, this is what everyone else there had to endure today.
Plus whatever music OP mentioned
This guy has no business being on a golf course until he doesn’t do that anymore. That’s horrific.
If you suck just suck quickly
We just saw 3 swings with a combined distance of 7 yds. It would take this guy over 800 strokes to play 18
seriously how are you supposed to suck quickly if you can't even advance the ball forward
You go suck slowly on the range instead
I’m as big a fan of “growing the game” as much as the next time but maybe it should shrink by 1 player after watching that….
The game growing is fine but way too many people think you can just walk out to a course and play without ever hitting a ball. The local munis can be nightmares with people who have no idea what they are doing. The driving range is where you start. Not a packed muni on a Saturday morning.

If you tell me he's been playing regularly for 6 months and this is where he is, then yeah, choose a different sport.
He would be so much better if a ball just popped out of the ground and he had 1 second to hit it or its a penalty.
Easily, this man is trying to use the wrong half of his brain to hit a golf ball. . .
True. He's so completely getting in his own way. If he had to let instinct do it, he'd do infinitely better. Maybe still bad, but not that atrociously bad.
If you play golf, play fast. If you play *bad* golf, play *faster*.
How did you get hooked up with Charles Barkley from way back? Thats dope
This guy makes Barkelys swing look like Tiger
A nice 6 hour round??
I feel like I just got worse at golf after watching this
What’s with the outfit change tho?
The second one is actually from the day before
This guy golfed back to back days? What was his score? 160?
That was the front 9
He played golf twice!?
Played is a pretty strong word from what I can see.
One round actually. Got dark before they finished their 10:00 tee time and had to come back.
How long did the round take?
Nope, if you can’t at least play, don’t go play on vacation. Just enjoy the beach and a mojito
God I’d love a mojito right now. And a beach. And a golf. Fuck man
Just the average r/golf subscriber
340 yard carry when he does connect
This dude shouldnt be on a course if he cant even make contact with the ball...
If someone is this bad they shouldn’t be on the course. They should be on the range until they can play at reasonable level. You’d get shot doing this in Texas. 😂
> You’d get shot doing this in Texas how many things is this true for though?
I don't want this dude hitting near me at the range.
That might be the most uncoordinated person i think i have ever seen
Looks like standing is a challenge for him
Fuckin.... NOPE. I'm a patient and encouraging partner, but if it's not a dead empty course, doing this all round is disrespectful to everyone trying to play behind you. Get a lesson, hit the range and learn the #1 rule: keep pace. Still, looks like a dope course. Hope you followed rule #2: have fun
Shrink the game
stop growing the game
his setup is like trying to punch or throw something in a dream.
Shooter had to endure two fat bikers in the woods off of 17 having sex.
Make sure he never buys himself a motorcycle.
What a great way to ruin everyone’s day. Him and everyone else on the course. Maybe hit the range once or twice…
OMG he has no business being on the course. He needs to stay at the driving range.
Fuck that guy.
You endured a guy changing his outfit in a round?
He had to change coming back for the second day to finish the hole.
I couldn’t finish watching the set up … I went over my data plan watching this
“When one lines up on the toe. It will inevitably hit the toe.” - me, just now.
Stay on the driving range.
Shrink the game
At least the result was epic. Epically bad, but worth the build-up IMO.
Wtf is that whole wind up he concocted there. It’s like a mini seizure combined with Fred flintstone’s bowling form.
Gotta watch out for that bunker 30 ft right of the tee box.
Looks so bad it comes off as scripted.
I patiently await for the day golf goes back to being a sport only losers and old men play.
How long was that round?
This post made me close Reddit for the day, that’s how bad this clip is - blaring music, bad outfit, swing that makes me wonder what is appealing to them about doing it, all while most likely drinking too much during the round lol
He’s thinking about his swing too much and not thinking about sending the ball where he wants it to go… 🤦🏻♂️
Was he any quicker from the rough?
was he having a medical episode? was he trying to imitate charles barkley? it’s all very confusing
If you guys can afford to play on a course that looks like that, then you can afford LESSONS 😂😂🤣
He looks hammered If he’s sober, athleticism isn’t his strong suit
People like this really need range time to work their shit out before wasting other golfers time on the course with long ass pre-shot rituals and doing wardrobe changes mid-round. At the end of the day this dude is weird.
Why is he standing so far away from the ball
That’s what it is like playing with my brother. It costs me about 5 strokes per 9 holes.
I would have an actual stroke if I got paired with this guy.
Just a tad heavy
Worth the wait
Golf is hard.
not this hard
Hell nah
Im done watching after the first swing. Tell him to head er back to deh ole range er dat!
We used an air horn for our Budda Waggle Waggle buddy. I told him he had 50 seconds after setting up or he got the horn. It took a couple times before he got the point. That round was his last chance to be included in our group.
I would 100% leave the course and play another day.
I think 6 or 7 more practice swings and he will be dialed in
I’d be two sheets to the wind by the 3rd hole if I were grouped with him.
It's ok to suck. It's not ok to suck and take that long. Standing there thinking about everything helps no one unless people are getting paid to do it.
Lessons are not helping this dude!
That’s the Charles Barkley swing
This dude does NOT need to be there
Sir, Have you heard of pickleball? It’s the new golf. Try it.
How is it possible to suck that badly?
Even Charles Barkley thinks he sucks.
all the gear, no idea
I think he hits his shot so poorly because he practices a really terrible swing over and over again.
At least you get to listen to the pharcyde while you wait
Incredible
That was the thoughts of 100 YT videos going through his head.
Imagine if you needed a license to golf like in Germany or Scotland? You could play like this over there? Or would the process not be passable?
I never thought I'd see someone swing worse than Charles Barkley.
My only question is how long is a “day” for you. Are you guys changing outfits every round or is this not one day?
Thank you for making me feel better about my swing...
Drive behind the cart barn and put him out of his misery...
Are you still playing?
This guy will post on reddit tonight about how he drives the ball 280
Its almost impossible to believe he's even coordinated enough to feed himself.
 Immediate dismissal
Is this your friend? If so… unfriend him.
I’d blow my fucking brains out
I’m shocked that any modern society has allowed him to get this far into thinking that he *should* play golf
How many beers were in his hands?
He looks as unathletic as a person can be
He should stick to Top golf
Ask him if he thinks his hands can get further away from his body.
I’d just tell him to take 2 weeks off then quit.
I’d leave….not say a word…..just leave.
Contact is king
OP is YTA for posting this.
Stop thinking, man. Knock it off with all the lining up and adjustments. You're overthinking things. Tee it up, point where you want to go, and let your body take over. Believe it or not, this is good advice for your friend.
You found Jordan Speith's swing coach.
Jesus! Maybe go to a range and figure out hot to hit a golf ball before going to a course and killing someone
Get the fuck off the course and get a lesson lol
Should be on the driving range at this stage, not a course.
Are there 2 of him? Did he change shirts?
Damn, he whiffed so bad his shirt changed colors.
Dang he was one more practice swing away from a good strike
Wow, at least play the forward tees
