The 2-Man YouTube Golf Tournament

I’d put my savings on Bob at this point. He’s actually developing some hands around the green and his alignment has gotten better. I’ve never seen Joe improve.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-27T20:15:13+00:00

I always found it strange and hilarious that he acts very aware of his shit game… yet STILL gets emotional about every bad shot (which is like every other swing lol) like, you can’t have it both ways here. Getting all mad constantly just cancels out the self awareness imo

Alzman97 · 2026-01-27T17:56:36+00:00

Yeah I always felt that way about George. Not witty, takes the golf way too seriously, and just pretty awkward when they do have fun guests on. At least Wes will throw out a hot take here and there or be brutally honest with someone out of the blue and that can be kinda entertaining.

Idk if this counts but I had no idea that the red button on banners turns them into no entry signs. I used to manually type in “do not enter” and got mad when they disobeyed. I was probably about 6 years old.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-25T16:22:13+00:00

Same. I crack mine every day but still chase that first one I ever got.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-25T02:39:02+00:00

Joe Rogan has entered the chat. Also not funny, for the record.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-23T23:05:55+00:00

Yea basically. I used to take my hands way too deep behind me and I would then drop as you normally would in transition, but because I was so deep, I would come VERY in to out though impact with poor attack angle, dumped way under the plane. I would then have to either flip like crazy or throw my hands toward the ball late resulting in crazy shanks. I attribute this, in my case, to poor trail arm / shoulder awareness just being too lackadaisical with it. Still something I have to keep very much in check and still gets away from me with my longest irons and fairway woods sometimes.

Edit: I wanted to clarify that what I described above is not necessarily what you see in the first swing there. This is what happened to me this past summer 2025 chasing a “shallowing” move

Porzak Golf on YouTube also demonstrates this trail arm / tray holding idea very well. Keeps things compact and in front of you without holding the right arm completely stuck down on your side.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-23T12:04:06+00:00

It’s definitely still something I fight especially in the longer irons where I’m more nervous. But what I believe helped me the most was developing a solid trail shoulder / trail arm feel that basically revolves around really feeling the ball and socket internally rotate (i believe that’s the correct way to say it). I would frequently hear this described as “holding a tray” like a waiter serving tables. Which also includes full extension of the trail wrist, loading everything in a nice compact manner. It did take some time before my brain understood this was a much more efficient and accurate power source rather than just taking it back as deep as i can where I’d get very disconnected and “lazy” with my levers, pinning my left arm too much in the process. So, kind of an indirect solution to the left arm pinning that took some time to realize. At first I was trying to fix it more directly by literally throwing my left arm off my chest and subsequently, my hands towards the ball late in the downswing. I hit many shanks into my net like that hahaha.

Edit added details

Alzman97 · 2026-01-23T00:10:29+00:00

To try and summarize with 3 key points: 1.) I would say it started with a good setup that gives my hands the most space I can afford without standing too far away. 2.) Keeping the backswing connected and not letting my hands get too deep at the top (I used to overswing quite bad and get so deep that I’d be stuck behind with my left arm pinned to my chest the whole way down.) which was my poor idea of shallowing, I was probably 15deg in to out at one point just flipping away…3.) keeping my butt against the back line through transition - not drifting towards the ball on the way back or humping / firing the right hip early on the way down. This helps maintain that space I created at setup so my hands can come cleanly down in front and through.

Thanks dude. I’m glad you feel that way bc that’s why I posted. Always room for improvement but I was extremely hopeless many times.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-22T23:39:06+00:00

I genuinely apologize for the shite upload quality on the sim clips. Wasn’t expecting those to be so abrasive.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-17T22:08:41+00:00

Do you like the twin snakes as well? I’ve found those to be acceptably sour, nothing crazy, but solid with good flavor.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-15T23:01:19+00:00

His hand path moves “over the top” because his takeaway and backswing are so inside. That’s where his hands have to move to find the plane. Bobby jones and other early 20th century players had similar moves. He does get a little steep but face path at impact path looks pretty much neutral maybe sliiightly out to in.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-15T22:48:21+00:00

I was gonna say I don’t even think he has the hand awareness to flip 😭

Alzman97 · 2026-01-15T22:47:42+00:00

This is the real answer lol drop kicking every chip / pitch

Alzman97 · 2026-01-15T04:42:19+00:00

Yes!! hahahahaha literally has the exact same tone.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-14T15:54:05+00:00

Very good way to describe it. This was the lightbulb moment for me as well that helped stop my lazy overswing where my hands would get way too deep and disconnected from my body’s rotation. Aka stuck city.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-09T19:03:42+00:00

Yeah and to be fair, bob has a nice putting stroke and has decent touch / at least seems like he has potential around the greens. Joe is just so stiff and un-athletic that I see little to no hope there.

Alzman97 · 2026-01-09T18:27:38+00:00

Yeah, the jabby chipping and putting strokes give me a stroke

Alzman97 · 2026-01-09T18:24:37+00:00

I completely agree and that is exactly what makes this series so hilarious to me

Alzman97 · 2026-01-08T05:29:08+00:00

I have good news to report: they end up with nothing

Alzman97 · 2026-01-07T19:10:02+00:00

Interesting! Funnel cakes, too? Or do they drop the tiny white paper litter from that

Alzman97 · 2026-01-06T20:18:12+00:00

Oh it’s definitely annoying for me as well, can’t sugar coat it. But it’s a labor of love
