YouTube Video: Jimmy Bullard vs Richard Mansell


Recommended Posts

I enjoyed this video. Mansell is on the DP World Tour and it was a pleasure watching him strike the ball. He also talks Jimmy through some of his decision making process when Jimmy is in a tough spot.

Is there anything specific in the 81 minutes? 🙂

Not particularly. Just an enjoyable golf match and fun to watch a tour pro swing a club and hit the ball compared to an amateur. 🙂 Some little things here and there I picked up from Richie but will be obvious to others (like you)

Continuing the theme of being old and grumpy, I like this style of YouTube golf much more than Good Good etc

I get that! There’s something special about watching a tour pro—it’s fascinating to see the differences in technique and precision. Those little tips from Richie can elevate your game, even if they seem obvious to others. And I agree; the more traditional golf content has its charm compared to the newer styles.

I like watching good players but watching amateurs is painful for me.  Hell I could never even watch the AT&T and all those vanity handicaps skulling it across greens.

    • It is not THE tour but it is a tour and I think they need to lean more into the golden tee style golf holes. Give us something you cannot give us in real life and give us something that is entertaining and the players have fun doing it also. That massive draw Rory hit to recover on one hole was so fun.  I know it becomes more gimmicky but I think that would make it more entertaining. 
    • Day 199 3-2 worked on wider swing and adding some speed. Finding it difficult, thats a good sign. Foam balls. 
    • Hey guys what’s up.    I just ordered some new SM11 wedges and I want to sell my old ones that 3 of them are in great condition. Does anybody knows a good place to sell them?  
    • Day 53: 2026.03.02 Easy swings in the garden working on raising right arm in backswing.
    • Just some clarifications.  Something to try out. It is something Rory does. He extends his left knee, which closes his hips a bit, but it also shifts him right. It was something we were trying. It could help be a trigger for the backswing and get me shifted right. Also help with my left knee flexion.    More focus on this^. I have to nail this, or the downswing will just be dead.  Less of this^ Got clarification from @iacas that the numbers might be over what they actually are. So, this was much closer to A or A- rather than like B or B-. Something to keep an eye on, but much better now. Anything associated with me overturning/swinging needs to be monitored, lol.  Focus on this^ Drills. Slam the medicine ball down and behind me. Going to search Amazon for a soft medicine ball I can throw. With it being like 5lbs, it is not that physically demanding. It definitely gets the feeling of how to throw the club down behind you with the arms.  Staying tall, similar to the medicine ball, but swing the club down hitting the ground way behind the ball. Not 100%, but don't be afraid to thump the ground.   Not much of drills for the left leg. Just a lot sooner. Because I have tons of knee bend going from A3 to A5, it is probably going to feel like I don't load the left leg that much but just extend it. Might incorporate some medicine ball exercises for this.  On a side note, I been thinking of this since the last lesson (January). The final swing for me is going to probably feel superfast/quick. I went and looked at an older GEARS swing. The backswing was like 1.3 seconds, and total time of 1.6 seconds.  A long backswing, a quickish downswing (0.3-ish seconds). A 4.4 to 1 tempo (PGA Tour is 3:1)  On the swings where I was doing the downswing stuff on Sunday. It went to 1.4 seconds (13% reduction), and the downswing went to 1.1 seconds (15.2% reduction). A 3.9 tempo. Getting closer to 3:1. I could tell the swing was going to be shorter/quicker when the torso turn runs up against hips that restrict the turn. Especially when I do the right arm stuff much better. It was like, "Oh crap, I stopped turning".  If my swing was closer to PGA tour averages, 0.75 second backswing and 0.25 second downswing. That is about 30% quicker than the baseline swing. Which will probably feel like 50% quicker. I might play around with a metronome. Just so I can get use to how fast I have to do this. I may need to speed up the right arm stuff. Not going to try that now, just maybe for later.
