Can Alex Elliott’s Golf Tips Help Me Shoot Par? | 9 Holes at My Home Course

Watch my other videos of me trying to shoot par on my home course:    • Shoot Par Challenge Operation 36 Videos  

In this video, I take on a 9-hole par-or-better challenge at my home course using teachings, tips, and on-course strategies from ‪@AlexElliottGolf‬ who is one of YouTube’s top golf instructors and a Top 50 golf coach with over 372,000 subscribers.

Throughout the round, I put Alex’s advice to the test, including:
-Adjusting tee height with the driver for better accuracy
-Learning how to take proper divots with irons to hit more greens
-Using the Rule of 12 for smarter, more consistent chipping
-Aligning the ball on the green to improve putting start lines

I didn’t shoot par this time, finishing with a 44, but there were several shots where Alex’s tips clearly made a difference—and showed real potential to lower my scores with more reps.

The goal of this video is simple: apply elite coaching to real golf, on a real course, under real pressure. Huge credit to Alex Elliott for the content that made this possible. Hopefully he sees this one the same way Golf Sidekick did when he reposted my strategy video.

I'm Roger, a golfer with a short backswing now playing off an 11 handicap.
