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
01:36all of your performance so stop guessing which shafts you're using get a custom fit and get the
01:41most out of your game. The next gear mistake you'll make once and never again is not using one of
01:47these
01:47that's a distance measuring device. Whether it's a laser like this or a GPS device like this
01:52once you use it once you'll never want to be seen without one. These things give you super accurate
01:57yardages and allow you to hit better shots with more confidence. You can commit to them rather than
02:03guessing yardages out on course you'll get closer to the pin and maybe you'll hold a few more putts
02:08so make sure you've got yourself either a laser or a GPS device or any kind of distance measuring device
02:13and stop estimating your yardages. The next gear mistake you'll make once and never again is not
02:18investing in a proper pair of waterproof shoes. Whether it's the summer or the winter there's
02:24no worse feeling than trudging around for 16 or 17 holes with sopping wet socks and freezing cold feet
02:29so make sure whether it's summer or winter your shoes are 100% waterproof and never make that mistake
02:36again. The next gear mistake you'll make once and never again is buying a club online and not checking
02:42the specs. I've fallen into this trap myself I saw this lovely tailor-made rocket blades hybrid online
02:47and thought I'll have a go with that. It arrived it had a regular flex shaft and it was cut
02:51down
02:52by half an inch not my specs at all I didn't check them it's my own fault so when you
02:57go online to buy
02:57clubs make sure you check the specs are just right for you so they're right for your game and you
03:01can enjoy
03:01your new club. The last gear mistake you'll make once and never again is leaving your slope
03:07functionality on your laser rangefinder during a qualifying round if you leave this on it can be
03:13very damaging you'll get DQ'd from the round entirely and your work will go to waste now most
03:19models have slope functionality now and most also have a really easy way to turn them on and off
03:23they'll also have a signifier it depends on the manufacturer as to whether it's on or off so you and
03:29your playing partners know whether you're legal or not so don't fall into the trap make sure your
03:33slopes off during any qualifying round and never get DQ'd again. So now you've watched this video
03:39you will not fall foul of any of these mistakes and be one step ahead of anyone who's not watched
03:45this video. Have I missed any? Are there any glaring ones I've forgotten about? Let me know in the
03:49comments below but for now from Peterborough Milton see you next time.
04:03you
