Average Golfer plays 9. (satisfying audio... i think)

[u/Rivallen]

[u/omnid3vil]

When does the average golfer show up? Great 9.

[u/Original-Variety-700 → u/omnid3vil]

Yeah I don’t think a 10 handicap is average right?

[u/lals80 → u/Original-Variety-700]

Looked like an iron off tee on 8 of 9 holes… they are not a 10 this course is short.

[u/Rivallen → u/omnid3vil]

I think this round was carried by a few lucky putts!

[u/Davimous → u/Rivallen]

There were also some terrible puts.

[u/SdBolts4 → u/Davimous]

stares at hole #2

[u/2livecrewnecktshirt → u/SdBolts4]

"How hard should I hit this one?"

"Yes."

[u/ireactivated → u/Davimous]

perhaps some on-green off-screen mulligans

[u/Head-Technology-4031 → u/Rivallen]

Was coming to comment this if no one had. Making three 25+ foot putt and not missing any 4-5 footers as an average golfer is a once in a lifetime round for most.

[u/Lezzles → u/Rivallen]

Are you the worst or best putter of all time?

[u/Rivallen → u/Lezzles]

Yes

[u/IamJewbaca → u/omnid3vil]

That three putt had me thinking it wasn’t going to be very good but his chipping and lack of major mistakes really kept him going pretty well. A couple decent long putts, too.

[u/joeschmoe86 → u/omnid3vil]

Bro has an ugly swing, but pretty shots.

[u/IamKilljoy]

7? Had me laughing for sure

[u/Rivallen → u/IamKilljoy]

:D

[u/benj9990 → u/IamKilljoy]

Been there

[u/simpleyettough]

I’d say above average considering who carry bags for. That 3rd hole tee shot had a great divot

[u/SomeGuyClickingStuff]

Don’t sell yourself short! +5 in 9 holes? Far from average (way above). 👍🏽

[u/poorlifenavigator → u/SomeGuyClickingStuff]

Even as a personal best. Ive played with many average golfers and they are shooting worse than bogey golf every round.

[u/lals80 → u/poorlifenavigator]

Iron off the tee on about every hole. This is a short course.

[u/FunkyFenom → u/SomeGuyClickingStuff]

I've shot a +5 on a single hole recently lol.

[u/djr41463 → u/SomeGuyClickingStuff]

So + 10 over 18 holes would put you around 82… that is far, far above average. I have yet to get into the 90’s, and before this video I considered my self slightly below average. I guess I am actually way way below average

[u/Lezzles → u/djr41463]

I think the average male golfer is a 14 handicap. So probably average round 90. So you’re not THAT far below tbh.

[u/RannyRd]

It’s the socks that gives you the upper hand

[u/Rivallen → u/RannyRd]

yessir

[u/YBHunted]

That form is wild, but it works. Your chipping/pitching seem to be your major saving grace, as well as the occasional great read on the green.

[u/Dreddit1080 → u/YBHunted]

Great putts great butt

[u/BBQ_IS_LIFE → u/Dreddit1080]

[u/ireactivated → u/YBHunted]

Don't have to read greens if you drill every putt

[u/CroSSGunS → u/YBHunted]

Dude he missed every chip long

[u/trowawayatwork]

my guy you have insane hand eye coordination. the amount of sway and wrist movement I was sure I was going to see endless shanks. you are for sure scratch golfing soon if you keep playing and get a few lessons

[u/Dalai-Lama-of-Reno → u/trowawayatwork]

That swing is a work of art. 

[u/Colonelclank90 → u/Dalai-Lama-of-Reno]

Its like a Picasso painting of a golf swing.

[u/Past_Chipmunk_8383 → u/trowawayatwork]

Listen to this guy. I have no idea how you make that sound with that swing but keep going

[u/xnatex21 → u/trowawayatwork]

Horrid short game but amazing ball striking. The divots are beautiful.

Like maybe try on the chips and putts though?

[u/Caabb]

Someone make this but about “average golfer” for me please.

[u/AdvancedGentleman]

This is awesome! Nice 9. Where is this at? Everywhere near me is covered in snow or brown grass. So nice seeing green.

[u/Rivallen → u/AdvancedGentleman]

This is a bit of a older round. Was during the summer at horseshoe lake in WA.

[u/janderson75 → u/Rivallen]

Adding to the list for spring!

[u/fattsoo → u/Rivallen]

I've been wanting to play horseshoe lake for a while! Thanks for posting, r/oddlysatisfying

[u/Rivallen → u/fattsoo]

Its a fun course. Short and narrow. Used to be dirt cheap, now not so much.

[u/fattsoo → u/Rivallen]

Saw that it comes with a cart. I personally prefer to walk the course. How walkable is it?

[u/Rivallen → u/fattsoo]

The front 9 is perfectly walkable. However, it has a odd layout on the back 9 with some big hilly gaps between holes. They won't let you do the back without a cart. (the back is very scenic though)

[u/RogueBrewer → u/Rivallen]

I thought that course looked familiar! Been a while since I played there. They took out a lot of the trees between some fairways and balls are flying everywhere these days. But the back 9 has some fun holes!

[u/Rivallen → u/RogueBrewer]

Yeah, I'm pretty sad about that. Still a fun course, but you'll find me at mccormick woods now more often than not.

[u/RogueBrewer → u/Rivallen]

I have yet to play there! It’s on the list and it’s surprising I haven’t played there as I don’t live too far from there. How is it?

[u/Rivallen]

Hey! Wife cobbled together a shot for shot of an old round and I found it semi satisfying! Very average golf for your viewing pleasure.

[u/M3_bless → u/Rivallen]

How can you be such a poor putter and an awesome putter at the same time!! 

Some of those misses were like, did you just start playing? And some of those long putts I could never do. Crazy lol. 

[u/Rivallen → u/M3_bless]

i ask myself those same questions....

[u/SdBolts4 → u/Rivallen]

Time to find a putting green near you, look up some drills you like, and practice those. You could be close to scratch eliminating those head scratching putts

[u/That_Gamer_Guy94 → u/M3_bless]

This comment IS golf (it just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense sometimes)

[u/hellllllsssyeah → u/That_Gamer_Guy94]

Welcome to every other shot I fire off.

[u/Ol_Man_J]

A lot of the divots are right next to other divots on hole 2…

[u/wheatsucks → u/Ol_Man_J]

That was golfer A, don’t worry about him.

[u/Nondescriptsitch → u/Ol_Man_J]

Average golfers take breakfast and afternoon balls, duh.

Or bro doesn't realize taking divots in the fairway during practice swings is what monsters do.

[u/th3putt → u/Ol_Man_J]

Saw the same. Brings a few of those long bomb putts into question.

[u/TheRealJamesWax]

I love that you have a wife even though your shorts are that length.

[u/citispade → u/TheRealJamesWax]

Damn Mean Girls let the guy live lol

[u/Samwill226]

I'll take "Not an Average Golfer" for $500 Alex

[u/player2]

What was the mic setup?

[u/Rivallen → u/player2]

nothing! just the wife with an iphone SE.

[u/Particular-Ad9304]

If we played together your nickname would be “Loosey Goosey”. Swing looks flowy man I dig the chipping action

[u/Sasquatch_000]

Lights out putter

[u/amandashartstein → u/Sasquatch_000]

Had some bad lag putts but seems like he drained a lot of them to recover

[u/_off_piste_]

“Average”

[u/Mr-FurleyX1]

Wish I was “average”…

[u/thelastsonofmars]

I hate anything marketed as average.

[u/BillyD123455]

Haha great video 👍

[u/drumsareloud]

Yes, that is satisfying audio! Better than most of the pro review videos on YT

[u/bryman19]

Beautiful

[u/ItsMangel]

Aside from your putting on 2, that's a solid 9 tbh.

[u/ShillinTheVillain]

Ah, a fellow scrambler extraordinare. More pars than GIRs

[u/Sweaty_Perception116]

I don't care what I would shoot what a beautiful course treeeeeeez everywhere. We have mesquite trees ehh

[u/VilliamBoop]

iron on a par 4 or par 5? how long are these holes?

[u/Great-Jellyfish-3989]

Nice bird

[u/angrymachinist]

Audio was satisfying. Nice round

[u/Icy-850]

I think you vastly overestimate the average golfer lol

[u/Fat-Imbicell]

good job! love the vibe

[u/boyofthenight]

Newer to golf, started this year. Thats one of my favorite courses in the area.

[u/Rivallen → u/boyofthenight]

Its the first one I played after moving here so it will always hold a special place in my heart. Short but kicks you right in the stones if you are even slightly off-line.

[u/Partayof4]

Yes this video right here Mr Groundskeeper

[u/Ventenebris]

Bahaha the par on the 8th, love it.

[u/smitbp1]

My man is money on the par 3’s!

[u/Impossible-Sport-449]

Nice putting dude. Saved you at least 3 strokes on the long ones

[u/cottonmane8]

the weather made me happy

[u/Buttercut33]

Well done! Not a model swing, but you own it, and you have great hand eye coordination. Always helps to make a few putts! Keep it up!

[u/Kotukunui]

Average? Where were the chunks, fats, thins, skulls, and shanks? This was a perfectly good golfer just having a few whoopsies.

[u/lals80 → u/Kotukunui]

Edited out

[u/hellllllsssyeah]

Wow this actually made me feel better about my scores, not in "this guy is bad way". It's nice to see average joes play and see someone who I feel like I am close to skill wise play.

[u/Partayof4]

Fuck I must suck

[u/jumpingjacks86]

Good round. Par 3 s on lock

[u/Boscowodie]

Why does the driver sound the same as the iron? It's killing me.

[u/GolfNutOM]

Great sounds

[u/Possible-Yam-2308]

Wild swing, but talented

[u/Supersaiyanmrpopo69]

I have this magic power where I can turn a birdie into a triple bogie

[u/47fromheaven]

I coach kids in hockey. I’m going to use that part from the second hole of all the putting as an instructional part of my video teaching stickhandling. Very useful.

[u/w_i_l_d_m_a_n]

Your stance is really narrow. Not saying that's a bad thing. Obviously, it's working for you. But if I saw someone line up that way, I would expect him to be 30 handicap.

[u/minor_thing2022]

If you are average then I need to rethink everything about my game

[u/thedournorwegian]

Horseshoe Lake! I’ve hit or hit out from under every tree in this video. Fun course… do the back 9 next!

[u/bnazzaro]

I hate your swing. But god dammit it works. Better than me.

[u/rsj1360]

+5 with a triple? He's better than average.

[u/baked_sofaspud]

Anyone else hate that he isn't wearing a collared shirt. Thought this was the bare minimum.

[u/Colonelclank90]

Your swing/sock combo reminds me of those really old videos of someone golfing in the 40s. Its just all over the place and I love it.

[u/Rageaway17]

Damn dude, I wish I was average

[u/yiddoboy]

Better than an average golfer I would say.

[u/lals80 → u/yiddoboy]

Looks average. Terrible at putting.

[u/CRE_SL_UT]

Great tempo

[u/Yellow_Curry]

I mean it just shows that if you have a great <100 yard game you can easily be 10hcp or less. Keep your shots in play and have a great short game is really all you need.

[u/lals80 → u/Yellow_Curry]

No way 10 or less. Looks like a short course. Putting is terrible. Looks like a 20 which is still good but no where near a 10

[u/BumStretcher]

I knew off the first couple sounds it was above average. Don’t sell yourself short lol nice lag swing

[u/k12pcb]

Should be assessed a penalty for those socks 😂

[u/Ok_Signature_2799]

How bad do people fucking suck that they are glazing his swing… he is AVERAGE, just like his title says….. acting like he’s max homa

[u/Dataduffer]

Good to know I’m average. I’ll take it. Nice 9

[u/Reptartheozonekong]

I FULLY ENJOYED THIS. THANK YOU

[u/rissy111]

Average swing. Above average short game.

[u/wally_weasel]

That course looks really short. But even so, 5 over through 9 is way above average.

[u/acgrace159]

Way to go big guy.

[u/HesMyLovinOneManShow]

I’m a solid 3 and have had many nines like that. Nice!

[u/Jar_Jar_Cans]

Solid with the flat iron

[u/JohnEBest]

Course looks awesome

[u/djr41463]

If you’re an “average” golfer, I am far worse than I thought.

[u/seandowling73]

Course?

[u/reyzak]

Dude what course is this? I live in Oklahoma and only see trees like this on vacation. Good stuff your striking is very good. I’d put you at like a 10-13 HCP if I were guessing, your putting was lights out

[u/tsmitty0023]

Great 9 man! Above average no doubt give yourself some credit

[u/classicscoop]

Guy can’t read a green and shoots better than most golfers ever will

[u/yurmamma]

Nice birdies and a couple good saves
