00:00Welcome to Peterborough Milton Golf Club and in this video we're going to look at the seven gear
00:04mistakes you make once and never make again. If you've made any mistakes I'm about to talk you
00:09through you'll know how damaging and annoying it can be on the golf course and if you haven't made
00:14these mistakes hopefully you learn a lot from this video. Let's get started. Right the first
00:19gear mistake that you're going to make once and never make again is not having a waterproof golf
00:22bag with you on course. These things mean you don't have to worry about how many showers you
00:27get caught in how quick they come on you know your stuff's going to be dry in that bag. You
00:31also
00:31don't have to mess around with one of the covers over the top if you don't want to and you
00:35know
00:35that your valuables the balls your clothing your food are all going to be nice and dry so whether
00:40it's a stand bag a cart bag or a tour bag make sure it's waterproof. We can all agree that
00:45clubs like
00:46this and even more bladed clubs than this look beautiful in the bag they're highly desirable
00:50and a lot of your mates will be envious if you've got a set of these however the second gear
00:55mistake
00:55I'm going to talk about now is falling into the trap of buying these too soon for your game.
00:59I'd only recommend these if you're an elite ball striker and a confident ball striker because if
01:04you're not you're going to find your distances with clubs like this become incredibly inconsistent
01:07and your golf game will suffer so don't fall into the trap like a lot of us do of getting
01:12blades too
01:12early for your game and make sure using golf clubs that help you out the most. The third gear mistake
01:17that you'll make once and never make again is playing with the wrong shafts. Now without a custom fit
01:23you'll just be guessing which ones you're using whether that's you think you're regular you think
01:26you're stiff, ex-stiff or senior guessing is not the way forward and a custom fit will be perfect.
01:32Get this custom fit right and your golf clubs will suit your game way more and you'll optimise all of
01:37your performance so stop guessing which shafts you're using get a custom fit and get the most out of
01:42your game. The next gear mistake you'll make once and never again is not using one of these that's a
01:47distance measuring device whether it's a laser like this or a gps device like this once you use
01:53it once you'll never want to be seen without one these things give you super accurate yardages and
01:58allow you to hit better shots with more confidence you can commit to them rather than guessing yardages
02:04out on course you'll get closer to the pin and maybe you'll hold a few more putts so make sure
02:09you've
02:09got yourself either a laser or a gps device or any kind of distance measuring device and stop estimating
02:14your yardages. The next gear mistake you'll make once and never again is not investing in a proper
02:20pair of waterproof shoes whether it's the summer or the winter there's no worse feeling than trudging
02:25around for 16 or 17 holes with sopping wet socks and freezing cold feet so make sure whether it's
02:31summer or winter your shoes are 100% waterproof and never make that mistake again. The next gear mistake
02:38you'll make once and never again is buying a club online and not checking the specs. I've fallen into
02:43trap myself I saw this lovely tailor-made rocket blades hybrid online and thought I'll have a go
02:48with that it arrived it had a regular flex shaft and it was cut down by half an inch not
02:53my specs at
02:54all I didn't check them it's my own fault so when you go online to buy clubs make sure you
02:58check the
02:58specs are just right for you so they're right for your game and you can enjoy your new club. The
03:03last gear
03:04mistake you'll make once and never again is leaving your slope functionality on your laser rangefinder
03:09during a qualifying round if you leave this on it can be very damaging you'll get DQ'd from the round
03:15entirely and your work will go to waste now most models have slope functionality now and most also
03:21have a really easy way to turn them on and off they'll also have a signifier it depends on the
03:26manufacturer as to whether it's on or off so you and your playing partners know whether you're legal or
03:31not so don't fall into the trap make sure your slopes off during any qualifying round and never get
03:36DQ'd again so now you've watched this video you will not fall foul of any of these mistakes and be
03:42one step ahead of anyone who's not watched this video have I missed any are there any glaring ones
03:47I've forgotten about let me know in the comments below but for now from Peterborough Milton see you next
