Hey guys welcome back to my channel and today we’re just going to do a course Vlog so I have currently played two holes part the first don’t ask me about this one because my driver sliced to the right found it in the woods um I chunked
I chunk the hell out of my S iron a good 4 in behind the ball so yeah this is what we’re working with um so I decided I’m going to P I just decided to P my camera out and come along and play f with me um I’m currently probably shouldn’t be might
Get hit by a ball um currently on the fway down whole 10 so we’re going to play whole 11 until my camera Runs Out battery um I have been slicing the oh my god I’ve been slicing my driver so badly recently that the next few the next few holes I think are
Part fivs or part fours well next H is not next to is part three what I’m basically saying is until I get a lesson on my driver I’m not using my driver like like I’m not using my driver it’s just even like no matter how far I am
Left it still slices to the right so we’re not doing it um so yeah anyway going to pick up my ball we’re going to go to the next hole this hole never happened okay so we’re on hole 11 says it’s 140 yards I’m going to double check it’s 140 yards
I’m guessing my six iron because my my seven iron if I hit it well it goes like 130 135 but I no we not I’m not thinking I’m trying well today 6 six okay so that was a good strike but it just went well past the pin so I’m
Assuming a well struck sex iron can go 145 yards I think maybe 150 yards um yeah but trck the well I’m actually happy with that because um there was a certain time where the longest iron I could hit was a seven iron and that was
A six iron so I hit it and we’re good um so yeah anyway um I’m hoping to get golf lessons soon and start getting like hopefully like consistent coaching um cuz I’ve just not had consistent coaching um I’ve just kind of been like God I can maybe I don’t know how
Many lessons I’ve had I know I know I’ve had three because my brother bought me three for Christmas and maybe I’ve had within like a year and a half I’ve been playing maybe I’ve had maybe I’ve had eight under 10 not I don’t think I’ve not had over 10 lessons
So but then again that would be kind of like once a month I don’t know I don’t know maybe you guys can answer that answer that in the comments for me like how often when you guys started playing golf did you get lessons or if you did
How often was it or was it just like when you when a problem occurred um cuz I mean I’m curious also I meant to be starting joining a new golf club soon um hopefully that happens before the season start if not it’ll be like close after
The season starts so that should be good although I’ll still stick to this course because it’s always quiet and I don’t think many people realize that it literally takes not ages but like you know like an average like a hole should take you what like 5 minutes see if
You’re filming it can literally take 15 minutes because like the tripod the lining up with the the camera and it just I don’t know I don’t know how but it’s not a lot of effort it just a lot of time but then if someone’s filming you then it should take longer it should
Take shorter but if I’m part of this new club and if tea times were a lot busier I won’t be able to like film as many holes so I will have to come back to this club and be like get a tea time yeah anyway damn it right we’re off the green
However I don’t know I’m complaining cuz I stried it well so we’re just off the green however I’m still going to use my Potter to put it cuz yeah if I don’t make this pop for par I no I won’t cry but be mad about it off bar baby so we
Have 330 yards I’m not use my driver should I use my boots my boots have been slicing to um so we’re going to use this as good iron no we use my Woods you know what we’re going to we’re going to use my Woods see how it
Goes okay so I have my seven wood wish me luck so I don’t know if I had that right because it went really high and short oh well well to be fair it isn’t wind because my hair is literally so it’s in Wind um it’s 330 yard so we’ll
Measure how far it went 2 no that’s not that’s actually not short that’s actually not so bad I think I don’t know I know I’m going to guess it be 160 yard um so yeah dude I think I actually prefer filming um YouTube because I feel like it’s more like casual vlogging
I can talk more it I’ve only it’s weird I have only ever been called a yapper on my social medas but in real life if you actually know me I just don’t talk like I am so quiet and and I’m just a personal conversation where I would like
To watch other people talk and listen um whereas like when it comes to talking to you guys on camera I’m like get I don’t know why I just I don’t know I I don’t know you guys can be company on the course right 190 190 yard to pin I only hit this 140
Yards are you serious really oh I thinned that one I think I thinned that second one longer than then I teed it up oh well to be fair I’m actually kind of close to the green so then if I chip on that’s me chip on in
Three and that would normally be Me On a par five anyway because I’d have to recover so bad with my slice driver so I think a wood was probably a good option okay still not on the green so this is my fourth stroke I don’t know if it’s
Part four or part five I forgot but going to put this in that wasn’t great oopsies right hold on let me put my stuff back okay so oh the sun’s out um I’m going to I’m I’m going to go on and play two more holes but I think I’ll just play
Them like without the camera just cuz I like to have some of my golf content versus like practice so yeah I don’t know if there’s going to be one video or if I’m going to like do another two ho tomorrow and make it like a longer video for you guys I
Don’t know also I have a really exciting trip coming up in oh my God in like 5 days okay that’s exciting so I might not have a video up next week cuz I’ll be away um but I’m going to Vlog for you guys it’s a really exciting trip um so
Yeah I’m excited to film it for you anyway um I’ll continue to this video or be the end of the video so I don’t know if it’s the end of the video like And subscribe if not I’ll see you in b

Enjoy watching but yeah lessons will definitely help and ultimately you will smile and enjoy it more. Your swing is OK, perhaps a lean forwards as you swing causes problems but a good pro will sort that. Good luck lassie
Looking fabulous. The biggest thing you are out there and enjoying it. Im basically self taught. Only one lesson ever. I’m 11 handicap. Even the worst days golfing are better than the best days at work 😊

Hi Keeks! Yep, it can be frustrating when certain clubs aren’t working! In your case for this vlog would be your driver and know how you feel! My driver was not my friend at all last week! After not hitting mine very well after the first par 5 and a long par 4 it didn’t come out of my bag for the rest of the round! lol. It happens from time to time! My approach iron “not approaching”😂 and has been frustrating because I like hitting it! When I’m not hitting certain clubs very well I use other ones that are and make the most of the round and still have fun anyway! Then at the driving range I work on the ones that weren’t and work thru it because eventually we have to use them all! Lessons are good and if you have the means to get them go for it! I’m sure you’ll get your driver figured out soon!
Some of us are not on other social media! Keep your YouTube vlogs coming, Keeks! Even if they are weekly! They are fun to watch! Love your accent and facial expressions (whether happy or not doing so well (sorry) they are so funny! 😜 We, your followers (aka the “Keeks Golf Squad”) are along to keep you company so keep talking (yapping!) too!! 😆😆
Until your next YouTube vlog have fun on your upcoming trip and safe travels, Keeks!
In the past two years I have learned to hit my driver so well, that's it's not the right club anymore on 50% of the holes. I use a new to me driving iron and it's fantastic. Not able to reach the trouble spots with the driving iron and it's mostly straight down the fairway.
The only lessons I've had were back in high school 25 years ago. Using Cris Ryan's swing tips, Alex Elliot, Peter Finch and Rich Shiels…back when they had instructional vids, and Me & My Golf basics has helped tremendously. But I am able to go to the range several times per week to work on the swing tips. So over the past 3-4 years my handicap has dropped from double bogey golf, down to where I have shot in the 70's a couple of times. But mostly low 80's.

Loving the vids! Keep trying and you will reach your goal! Id love lessons but don't have time to practise and play alot. Your legs kill.me...all the best x
7 wood was pure, would love to get that kind of contact 😅
Absolutely love these videos – some of my favorites. My lessons were divided in the beginning. I would have a lesson – practice a few weeks – have another lesson – and so on.
Course looks in amazing condition for the amount of rain thats fallen
Hi Keeks. Very nice swing. Technically it is very sound and really something to work on, albeit for a few little things I saw which I hope may be useful for you and not at all criticism because I genuinely think your efforts are really paying dividends. In all, about 2 specific areas I will mention below which may improve accuracy and encourage you.
1. Your take away (I'd say prominently with irons) tends to promote an inward and upward move which makes me think you dominate the takeaway with the right hand and arm, (1:46 and 5:18. At 6:47 the club-head moved away about 5 inches but your arms only moved a fraction.)
This is a very common thing and one I had to battle with constantly in my first few years playing golf. Try to make the take away one piece – hands, arms, shoulders – keeping the arms straight on take away. As soon as the body and arms cannot go any further without buckling the left knee and left side, that's when you hinge. This promotes excellent width and keeps the club face flush. (A good drill is holding two clubs with the left and just practicing a half swing back and through). As your body moves around the spine you maintain control with the left arm and hand through the swing so the back of your left hand drives through the ball whilst facing the target. Placing a tee in the top of your glove will stop you from hinging it early. Trust me, it hurts when you keep doing it lol
So the drag behind and up is forced instead of a natural turning with the upper body, which places your hands at the top of your swing too high above your head which makes your upper body have to stand up and sway forward at the top to compensate. This steep incline if not rectified promotes too much of downward strike like a chop, and one which usually ends in hitting it fat behind the ball, especially on scoring shots around the greens. This upward instead of rounded plain also increases separation between your right upper arm/arm pit and your chest which should be pinched together slightly to maintain connection so your upper arms and torso stay together throughout. This also improves speed and power.
The unwanted separation causes the right arm to become an open 'wing' at the top, so on the downswing the arm and body become separated and loses sensation of the club, and lags too far behind.
This won't allow the body to turn through properly and release, thus, stops the left shoulder/left side and left arm from releasing before impact, causing the shoulders to stop rotating altogether and the arms get stuck, ultimately causing wrist flick as the club head catches up and then the dreaded 'chicken wing' occurs after impact.
You'll notice if you watch your swings in slo-mo how the club follows the same upward trajectory after impact as the takeaway instead of a full extension around the torso. It took me a really long time to understand what was causing it with me, until I realised it was a breakdown of upper arms to torso and I was not turned out of the shot already. If you can get your arms pointing the club ramrod straight at the flag after impact inline with your belt buckle (or imaginary one) facing in the same direction you have successfully released. (A strap around the upper-arms is an excellent drill to keep everything locked in. Another is the inflatable ball dangling on a strap around the neck which will fall if you're opening or detaching the upper arms.)
The wrist flick increases loft, but can also cause the club face to open, causing either a duck hook, block right or both with high trajectory. If you freeze it at 9:13 you'll see how you perform a great take away with the 7-wood, your arm and back of the gloved hand are in excellent position, but the forced hinge has caused the club shaft to become too lofted (if you draw a line from your arm as 90 degrees and then see where the club is, it's risen by 10 to 12 degrees. Add 10/12 degrees to the clubs loft at impact and suddenly a 7 wood becomes a 6-iron. If you try to keep that line with your arm, the wrist remains in its natural position instead of unnaturally pinched at the inner wrist. This means the face of the club will remain flush throughout and at impact, and you'll be able to gauge your distances properly at the range too.
2. Posture. I notice that at address you're bent forward a little too much with the butt of the club too high above the belt. This causes you to dip down on take-away, then 'stand up' when you arrive at the top end of the swing, and then dip back down again and then drift backwards a little at impact. So balance is always off due to this. I would recommend working on lower back, hip and abdominal turn flexibility to be able to keep the left knee a little more stationary as I feel it bends too much to allow you to turn. Unfortunately, too much left knee bend will cause a dip, but also stops you from being able to transfer weight properly to get the left hip to turn out, around and upward at impact. As it is, your downswing holds a lot of power and the angles are really really good. But, if you freeze it at 5:19 you'll see your right hip and buttock is above your left, and that is because you dumped too much weight onto the left too early, and as a result, you raised your right foot and drove your right knee through way too early. If you keep your feet planted with a strong base offering 10% weight on the right foot at address and not too central, maintain a high strong posture with a straight back and neck, keep your right foot planted and stay as central to your spine rotation as possible with no dipping, standing or swaying, and only begin to raise the right foot at or after impact, not before – I think you'll see a vast improvement in your balance and stability and how much faster you can swing. Also, I would recommend shortening your swing a little.
All in all you have the makings of a fine swing girl. Have lots of fun and all the best.🏌
She’s built!!!
I haven't seen you use your hybrid.
