Brooks Koepka was at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last October.

Brooks Koepka’s game partner slammed his ball from the position under the palm tree, with five few championship approvals. This is a good shot. That’s what he wants to do.
He said this is something that amateurs don’t do.
But what if they did? What is the result when they don’t? Koepka knows. He is talking about the recent video posted to Rick Shiels YouTube channel, where the footage described above was hit by Shiels and started his idea.
Koepka said in the video that playing the camera like Shiels is equivalent to better scores of “nine times”. Very boring. But that puts you in trouble.
But what about hitting longer iron? Maybe you can curl the ball over the green. Or you can hit the tree as well. Or worse. The chances of explosions rise.
All of this is a rule, and it’s one thing that amateurs don’t understand, Koepka said.
Koepka said in the video: “Amateurs, like playing Pro-Ams or just playing at home and other similar things. Shooting. And I think it’s amazing when you play with these guys, I think, If you literally like how it works – safe, you know, wedge, you end up making better scores in 10 points better.
“From you, you’re going to think, hey, you know, I’m going to hit 3 wood, try to hit it on green, or try to hit these 3 irons and run miraculous shots. Look, I can’t Hit the green from where you are because I think it’s just one thing for AMS, they don’t understand, professionals, when you’re in trouble, the first rule is to go out.”
But why not? Lack of excitement – But in the video, Shiites think of something else. Or someone, but.
He said to Koepka: “But it’s your fault, too.
Koepka smiled.
“Yes, no, yes, no, yes,” he said. “We’re the guys who are blaming it for that. Then you get some people, like you’re standing there, they’re probably going to hit it where I hit it, like, how did that happen?”
Let’s continue with conversations that reduce strokes. Last August, Golf.com wrote a story titled “Nick Faldo,” and other professionals asked about the method of 1 stroke. Here’s their answer,” which can be found by clicking here Or scroll down to find this story.

A young star said success with green lenses is different.
The six-time minority champion said there were different ideas in the club’s game around green.
DP World Tour Pro says that it’s different in green.
At least it makes you think, right? These three players, along with four more players, talked this week in a video shared by the DP World Travel Social Media team (you can watch it all here), seemingly following a relatively easy question: One of cuts What is the method. Every stroke? But the answer is unique. Tips collected from professionals are a fun exercise because we not only learn, but also have a glimpse of the best priorities in the world.
But the introduction of this story is enough. Here are seven tips, each with some ideas.
Nick Faldo, other professionals asked about the method of a stroke. This is their answer
go through:

“Barring old school”
“So if you want to get rid of one shot, keep a little bit of the chip with the 8 iron,” said six-time main champion Nick Faldo. “Because it’s great, especially when you have a little bit of a bad green side, the ball sits a little bit. And you have a lovely radius here, you use it almost like a mini car iron. I used to raise my hands and weigh Here [lifts right foot up] And immediately put the ball off my right toe. I’ll take it out of my toes because you know that’s going to dig the ball out of the little lies. Just like placement. This is your putter. So it’s just a little bit – just a stroke. ”
Author’s note: It is worth noting that Faldo did not reach 60 degrees. 8 Iron can also be a drama of bumps and running.
“five%”
“That’s how to lose a round by managing your expectations,” said 23-year-old professional Rasmus Hojgaard. “For our professionals, let’s say we have 100 meters of Flag. If we hit it within 5% of the distance, i.e. five meters or 15 feet, we will get a stroke. So for us, when you think about it, hit it within five meters, from The fairway doesn’t look good, but in reality, you actually get the scene by hitting it to that distance. So, I think for amateurs, in order to manage their expectations, if you have a wedge in your hand , don’t think you have to get it to 10 feet every time. It’s a good rule to remember, and if you hit it about 5% of the distance, then your shot works great.”
Author Note: From an old-fashioned idea to some new school mathematics. This is really good.
“If you have lenses, it is using them”
“That’s how to save every round of tees,” said Connor Syme, a seven-year professional currently on the DP World Tour. “You are trying to get the bunker out of the way and eliminate the danger. Especially if you have lenses it will use them to your advantage. So, this could be 3 wood, so you can always shoot the green all over. That’s me The way to save a round.”
Author Note: Bombs and women may disagree. But there is nothing wrong with a safe game.
“Aim at the good side”
“That’s how to save a shot from the fairway,” said Adrian Otaegui, a 13-year pro currently on the DP World Tour. “I think for amateurs you can save a shot or even more. You don’t aim at the pin every time, but the good side. So obviously, if the pin is tight, you can aim a little on the right side. So if you miss a shot, you won’t miss the wrong side and you won’t lose your shot there.”
Author Note: Another safe game idea. The bird is very good. Doubles are not.
“Be careful with speed”
“That’s how I recommend amateurs to shoot on the green,” said Vincent Norrman, a four-year professional player he played in the past two seasons on the PGA Tour. “I see a lot of amateurs fall in love with this line and are not well-stepped. I only recommend that they be careful about the pace bonus before reading.”
Author’s note: More than a part of the extracted one.
“Don’t be afraid to take out the push rod”
“If I’m going to help you save a shot on the green, don’t be afraid to get the putter out,” said three-time Ryder Cupper Tyrrell Hatton. “The worst putter is better than the worst chip. Use putters.”
Author Note: This drama is my personal favorite, especially when the grass is short and dry.
“Extra Club”
“That’s how you can cut down a round of shots,” said 26-year-old pro Marco Penge. “I think most amateurs think they hit nine irons or eight irons, which is more than the actual ones. So I recommend all amateur golfers to pair with an extra club, hope this helps.”
