First comment 🙂
we don’t need more athletes. we need more scientists to make the next big human advancement. i would at least like more scientifically literate people in this country, that would be nice.
Mushroom playing golf
this kid good but not that “good” , his parents just have an over expectation on him
Wait until he can concentrate more. For three he is great. He plays better than some 30 year olds I’ve seen.
juicyfruitzy look up Nicole grimes that is his mom and that is how his swing looks now you really expect that kid to make it pga
@juicyfruitzy his puts r far too much power and they r going in by luck if he wants to be Any good he will need to think abt it
Aw! Good for him, I hope he goes far in it.
he’ll go where almost all young prodigies go to die. Only a few young prodigies grow up to make it big
4th place is not even in the podium
Anthony Flores hi how are you doing
“i cant wait to see what the future has in store for that lil guy” you wont be there till then!
Joking! 🙂
How come he isn’t the next Arnold Palmer. Why does he have to be compared to such a sleaze ball? It’s not fair to the poor little guy.
Because putting the stuff tiger did aside he was an outstanding golfer
I guess that’s like Hitler. Putting aside things he did he sure rose to power and made a difference :O)
@The gaming dude was? I don’t think Tiger passed away. Last year, he was the pga tour player of the year. This year he is injured so how is it all of a sudden “he was an outsanding golfer”???? He is one of the greatest.
The next OJ Simpson of Golf.
they compare to him because, like Tiger, he was seen as a prodigy at a young age of 3.
I think if he keeps practicing he will get there someday
ArrMastr , I like to thank all of our positive supporters!!!
ArrMastr, Thank you for your support!!!
He’s not black or asian…wtf?
pretty cool, but his parents should really tell him to look down range before he swings lol, most the time he just stares at the ground and doesnt even pay attention, i understand he is 3 and will get much much better but still. I think his parents were actually telling him where to swing cause when they were talking about the last hole he was just staring at the ground and he hit it into the rough about 10 feet from the fairway and his mom said it was her fault
his mom was his caddy, the caddy usually tells the player what shots to take, what club to use. are you new?
Hi, responding to your comment about caddy. I actually do not play golf, My husband or I actually, when James showed an interest and we purchased his real clubs, I would tee him up and I didn’t know a thing about it, He set himself up, then shortly after he started taking lessons with his coach. His coach Michael tells me things to remind him about and of course now I definitely know the basics to caddy for him and practice with him, James plays his own game, I never position him.
I only tell him to always aim at the flag and remind him to keep his eye on the ball, and for his longer putts, I tell him to get as close to the hole as he can! I never over coach him, He knows exactly what to do, He is very young, and he does get tired. He had a very busy week the week of his tournament, He had taken part in other golf events two days before his tournament, so he actually played 4 days of golf which included the last two days of his tournament, We are very proud of him, He was the youngest and played with the top three including himself in the last round. Great accomplishment!!! Anyone that plays golf knows you have great holes and not so great holes!!! We are very proud of baby James, Oh and yes I do help him decide which club to use!!!
Thanks again to all of Baby James fans! I do read comments daily and will be happy to answer all questions from his fans!!! Thanks again for your support!!!!!
responding to the first comment, I actually said it was my fault because I put his tee too high, that’s why it popped up like that, The ball!!! Most of the time I have to tee him pretty low!!! That was a rough hole that day, He did great on the next one which was his last hole to complete the tournament! He always aims before he hits.…I remind him to make sure!!!
Lol keeping your head down isn’t such a bad habit “we all wish we could”
@Alex Dyer
Give me a break, there are better things to report on
oh come on just because hes good now doesnt mean he will become freaking tiger woods, he could not improve that fast? tv needs to chill out lol… but stilll congrats to this kid hope hes keeps his passion in golf!:)
omg eva hear of jr worlds? thats a real tornament
Golf Guru hi how are you
ive seen way better juniors lol
like me
lol
Hope they don’t screw him up.
his mom seems pretty grounded and just nice. If you listen in the video, when he messes up, she takes the blame to relieve pressure from the kid. Not that he seems like he cares but her heart seems to be in the right place.
umm no. I started golf when I was 3. Not that big of a deal
Dylaney I KNOW!!!
Me too lmao, like I’m a scratch golfer but I was never called “prodigy” or “the next tiger” just because I could hit a ball well at 3. I feel bad for this kid
I’m sure next year around this time he will want to be a fireman!! #Kids
CIRUS MEDIA He wants to become a little girl now…
Kazi 541 CTK 😂👍
Love it! Great support from parents!
Thank you !!!
Nice skills, but I personally don’t like kids getting into it so young. At around 8 or 9 years of age a child has a greater ability to follow instructions and will advance very quickly from that point. If you have 100 8 year olds and start teaching them you will develop a very high percentage of good young golfers.
Start them at 3 years of age when they have very little chance of following instructions they will only develop bad habits that will be difficult to break at a later stage. Yes you may create the odd Tiger Woods but at the expense of thousands of washed up burned out 8 year olds!!
@Golf Lessons Online so what do you like him to do for the next few years, untill he is 8 years old? Playing tennis?
I’d like to see him playing cowboys and indians, building cubby houses. It’s no big drama but I do think he will be a nice golfer if he takes the game up a little later, and he will have a more rounded childhood.
@Golf Lessons Online
well..this guy doesn´t seem to be unhappy playing golf as much as he wants.. 🙂
I’m not sure starting at 8 would give them enough of a head start compared to what Tiger was doing at an early age. But let’s not get excited because the kid can strike the ball “pure”. Tigers stroke looked better than grown men and the only thing that kept him from consistently beating them was sheer strengt
He loves golf. He’s having fun
I’m sorry! He’s 3 years old and has his own pro coach. Really!!
@Nazia Attaee Did you forget to type your response? Not sure what your intention was in this. ;-P
@nicole grimes Still wondering how your son did in Florida. I’d like to see the video you must have shot of him playing.
Notice all his shots are tee shots.…show me a fairway shot without a tee.
@Nicole Grimes
I hope you kept him away from xbox and playstation and he still has a love for the game. I’d be very curious to know how he’s getting on, hope he is doing well and it doesn’t matter if he’s not winning once he’s enjoying himself and having fun.
Best wishes from Ireland.
Not to put the story down but if you watch the wee fella doesnt even look where he is hitting the ball too he just gets down and thumps it . Give him a couple off years and when he starts to concentrate on the game he will be one off the best . But at the min its too early to judge him the next tiger woods .
Relly you think he good I play better than him I’m 13 use the same brand as him and hit 190 yards from the. My average score is 42 so shut up.
^no that doesn’t mean you can be a PGA tour player, it all comes down to finances. You’d have to keep shooting low scores to have the money to keep going. Q schools like 7,000$. And that’s just to get in. After qualifying it costs more and more and more.
i swear everyone comes on here to brag about ur scores, from what i can see, u r all pretty average tbf =D
its tarzan bruh:/
@Collin .Scheiner LMAO… One of the best comments so far.
Now you guys saying he sucks, you are wrong. People who are my age (13) can’t hit the ball that good. I’m sure he will be better than me in 10 years. I can only shoot between 78–85 right now…
Thanks I actually tried myself, James makes it look easy! Sounds like you play really well though!!!
Regardless, that bowl cut has got to go asap!
He’s not that good he hits his driver like 3 feet I can shoot under par at 12 years old
he is 3!
typical troll response ::::::rolls eyes:::::
better then you cough *cough*
Special thanks to all of baby James positive supporters!
He is truly an amazing little boy blessed with a wonderful gift! I followed James interest in golf and I encourage other parents to follow the interests and goals in their childrens life. Baby James has practiced his golfing skills on the course since he was two years old at least five days a week and that being his choice! It is fun and very routine for him! He plays with his toys and loves his swing set and he is a very happy child!!! He can drive his ball 90 yards now, He is just a wonderful child and my husband and I will support him always! For all of Baby James fans please follow him on twitter @probabyjames!!! Thanks again to his amazing fans!!!!!
I hate when news channels think a kid can be the next tiger just because they have dedication, it’s all about skill.
Why do people have to judge a three year old? People get jealous over nothing. I think its time for everyone to grow up and stop saying shit about this three year old.
I started soccor at 1 and a half
no I did better than that when I was 3. I have never shot a 12 in my life even when I was 3.
… Cause you didn’t play golf when you were 3. Right?
@Dan gilmore no, I played
@Luke Sheakley you played only 1 time, I guess…:)
Keep on swinging son!!!!!!!
Thanks Darren!
What is with the dislikes of the video? it is obvious by the video his parents did not force him to do this and he enjoys it. PGA players make a lot of money each year and never even have to worry about getting injured. I hate golf and could careless about it but if the kid wants to dedicate his life to golf and have a very successful financial career more power to him and his parents.
Thank you Michael, He enjoys playing golf very much!!!
PGA players deal with injuries. Many players develop knee and back problems.
How about the kids that beat him…?
THEY WERE ALL OLDER
@goneflying140 they were only 2 years older! 5 years old is still really young for golf!!!
i am better than him
What a talent!!! Definitely a future Tiger Woods!
Thanks Stephanie! He really enjoys playing golf!
I started playing when i was 3 too, won my first major tournament for the Golf Channel in San Antonio at the age of 8, played on a small tour at the age at 10, tried out for my highschools team freshman year 2 years ago and broke my leg on the course. Went and played golf for the first time in 2 years today, shot 98. back to square one 🙂
It doesn’t take two years to recover from a broken ankle.
@Nicholas Hano Hell, you can fucking golf with a barely healed ankle.
@Nicholas Hano I quit because i was pissed and frustrated. Dumbest decision I’ve made. Btw, of course it didnt take 2 years, took 8/9 weeks
ImDeffy what about you now?
I’m calling bullshit on this one.
He putts better than I do 🙁
We all know putting can be pretty tough! James has always loved putting! When we first started going on the course, He wanted to just stay on the same hole and just keep putting…lol.….It was hard getting him to move to the next hole! We practice a lot but putting is definitely a big favorite of his!!!
Yeah, it seems that he’s eager enough to play. He will probably enjoy it for the rest of his life. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets college golf sponsorships or professional sponsorships by the time he’s twenty. I started playing when I was eight, but only play about once or twice a month. Keep supporting what he does. I love golf, and am curious to find out randomly in a decade that he’s like the best junior player. Keep swinging!
Thanks so much for your support! He had a great practice today! It’s wonderful you still play! I will definitely support him and encourage him! If you have a Twitter account please follow him at probabyjames! We will start a website for him soon! Thanks again for your encouraging words and you keep up your golfing as well!!!
Give this kid and his family a break.Watching this in the Uk and I love his enthusiasm for the game.So long as he isn’t driven to take over his life.So long as theyre happy and he enjoys it the best of luck to them.you never know you may be clearing him on for the U.S In 20 years time!
Thanks he enjoys the game very much! He is a very remarkable little boy!!! Thanks again for your support, It is greatly appreciated!!!
the parents are REALLY prideful about him being able to hit a golf ball. comparing him to tiger woods pshhh! also the mom going up to that kid and saying asking how old he is and then saying “my son is only 3” like bitch my 4 year old brother could kick that kids ass. 12 on a hole? my 4 year old brother has never shot a fuckn 12 on a hole. STOP MAKING YOUR CHILD UP TO BE SOMETHING THAT HE IS NOT. TIGER WOODS? HE IS ONLY 3 YOU FUCKING WORTHLESS PARENTS!
Wow he putts better than Tiger
Thank you for your support!!! As we all know Tiger is an amazing golfer!!! Baby James loves golf and putting is definitely a favorite of his!!!
So what he hit a 6 foot putt
this kid is better than me! shit dude i average a 53 on a 9hole course! #swag
Hi there! Thanks for your support, sounds like you play pretty well! James will be in a tournament this weekend 9 holes on Saturday and Sunday each day, first time having par five’s at 200 yards out! We practiced last week 200 out and he did really well!!!!! A total of around 1,000 yards each day! He wants to do it, So he will have fun and good experience for him! He has been playing nine holes regularly and he is doing well! Again thanks for your support and keep playing golf!!!!!
Nothing special.
This kid has much better putting game than I do lol. I wish i had his skill in putting
Thanks Cory for your support! James has always loved putting, If asked what is his favorite thing about golf? He always answers chipping and putting! He practices a lot! Thanks again for your support!!!
He has better contact then me! i’m 11 and started playing at 8. This kid has crazzy skills, he putts better then adam scott!
@nicole grimes It’s in our blood. It’s what we were born to do. We feel and see the course differently. I can’t explain how or why ‚it just is. You have wonderful times ahead watching his love and passion for the game grow . Go get’em James !
@Ryan Grimes What the hell is that “Nazi” looking icon you have? Is that “in your blood” as well? lol…
@Ryan Grimes nice one
@Ryan Grimes Must have missed this for some reason. But anyway, I can’t argue with that. I’d rather go back to when people bartered for stuff. At least everybody usually went away not feeling like they just got bent over a barrel; probably.
“What’s your dream for him? (uh…I really mean YOU!) To play on the PGA Tour and become my retirement!
is it sad he plays better then me…
I am sure you play great! Thanks for your support 🙂
My son has the same gift. Made a true par on a 128 yard par 3 as a 3 year old. He is 4 now but still haven’t taken him near a real golf course. Haha toy trains have taken golfs place. Maybe one day golf will return:)
Fantastic to watch what an exciting future this young man has, he’s also lucky to have a mom that is giving him a great chance to be able to excel in a sport that can give you a fantastic life. Good luck from england little man
Thank you so much! You have really made my day with this comment! Thank you! I do this for James and his future! He is very blessed and he loves the game! He played a tournament today , did great! One more round tomorrow! Thanks so much for your support!!!
he better start going for a different hole if he wants to be the next TW.
USA should have given him a wild card as they got no hope of beating Europe at Gleneagles in September 2014.
Many many 3 years olds better then this kid. Get with reality.
This kid is amazing!
Hi Ryan, He did amazing! He is really accurate! His coach says he doesn’t over think, He just does it ! I have to watch how I tee him sometime!
@nicole grimes Make sure he keeps his focus on golf, I was like this when I was three and now I can’t find anything for my later life. Well, I wasn’t as skilled.
Thanks Ryan , I will definitely encourage him that’s for sure! He is truly blessed with a gift!!!!! I think something is definitely out there for you! I bet you play golf well!!! Thanks for your support!!! James has two more tournaments this year!!!
I really don’t play well, my average score is around 90 lol. Baby James can do that in his sleep.
He has grown so much with his golf since this video, since this tournament even! It showed in his last tournament for sure! He plays another tournament in two weeks! Golf is definitely a big part of his life, It is very routine for him, but he is very balanced and very much a kid!!! 90 is pretty good!!!
I played better when I was 2 and I stared when I first walk and I’m 11 now and I play in world tournaments
Do you really? Do you?
Ryan Simmons no he doesn’t. He plays pga on PlayStation maybe.
Obviously this boy is being overly promoted by the parent’s. The parent’s should be medicated to slow the process down. Other wise you’ll have a child who’s burnt out by 5.
My lil bro was as good as him when he was 3
Baby James won his tournament 1st place in Tampa Florida, played amazing! Short game was great!!! Congrats Baby James! He played some serious golf! 2 rounds of 9 holes!!! Great job Baby James!!!
can’t make a tiger without an earl. that man was a genius. hope the kid keeps it up.
his focus? this kid is 3
No
What the fuck is up with that haircut his parents gave him?
close your eyes at 3:30 – 3:38
LOL a “prodigy” and he finishes mid pack in the tournament that ABC covers him at. This kid will be good doubt but he will also likely be burnt out by high school with his dumb parents pushing him to be a PGA Tour star. Parents have ruined more “child prodigies” than anything else.
I think whoever came in 1st is better…
Started golf when I was 5. Now I am 12. Still cant make 10 foot putts very often. Makes me wish this was photoshopped. Lol.
Lol…He has always been so good with putting!!! We practice alot! I bet you do really well!!! Keep it up Josh! Take care!
what, tiger woods??? hes white…
Any kid that can hit a ball into the air is labeled “the next Tiger Woods” which seems inappropriate today with what we know.
Golf will be completely dead by the time he hits puberty anyway.
Golf has been around for six centuries, I am sure It will survive another twenty years!
Read a book!
no he is not becausei was doing a hell of alot better than this kid ive seen 3 year olds do alot better than him and i was one of them i play with my father he loves golf as much as i do i can hit 160 yards my father can hit 380 yard easy and im 12 but we dont go tto the news every time some one learns somthing but he is still good but i am never gona doupt him and not underestimate what he can do he may do better than me but im a 12 year old guy but good kid
t
1ceYourPimpHand i hope golf isn’t dead by then cause that’s how I’m gonna get into college
Thos Guy is good😳😳😳😳
American creeps
Next bubba Watson great contact
Thanks Hunter!!! Take care!
he’s awful and this video should be embaressing to its parents
Wow,tht lil guy has a great future,I play local,an he is better then me,amazed
He is so amazing,I know he is proud to have amazing parents.I got a 7 year old girl.but its Barbie,s for.her.may godbless yall.Yw,thanx for the reply.u made my day,Ty so much.
Ur more then welcomed if u would like to add me,ty
Thanks William! We love the feedback from our positive fans like yourself!!! Thanks again for your support!!! Baby James is also on Twitter at probabyjames.com and We recently opened a fan page on Facebook for him under baby James golfer as well!!! Check it out if you have time one day!!! Thanks again, Nicole
And God bless you and your family as well, Thanks!!!
I will so go,Ty so much for sharing.Yw
The little kid just hits the golfball… GREAT, he doesn’t even look where he is shooting
Yeah ik. Jus because he can hit a ball and make a putt doesn’t mean he is the next tiger woods! And I think his parents will put so much pressure on him later on in his life that he will crumble and start becoming crap
Hi all Baby James fans I am starting to upload videos of Baby James practicing to you tube, I added an awesome up hill set up putt from this evening that is awesome.….Take a look under Baby James golfer!!! It’s a great putt!!!
I wish i can putt like u son!
Thanks Khairil, James has always loved putting! I recently posted a few more videos of James putting under Baby james golf and baby James golfer! Here on you tube. If you have a chance, please take a look! Thanks again, Take care!
Bad thing is if he goes pro he’ll have everyone calling him “Baby James”. Great player already though!
Thanks goldiemcg, I know your absolutely right!!! Baby James.….I think my parents started that actually and it just caught on! Thanks for your support, If ever on Facebook follow James, He is under of course Baby James golfer! I will be uploading new videos and photos of his progress! Thanks again, Nicole Grimes!
If becoming a professional golfer is the path his parents believe in, they should start early tuning his body professionally, kids grow fast and sports will have both positive and negative impact on their young bodies. Cultivating their body and mentality scientifically will benefit and prolong their athletic career a lot.
All expectations aside.… this is a fantastic sport to teach the young and sometimes the OLD ! Great values and etiquette in life #golf happy people ☺️
Thanks Alex I definitely agree!!! Thanks for your support! If you would like to, Please like Baby James Facebook page under Baby James golfer, Thanks again! Nicole Grimes
Dam his back is going to be fucked up
“oh he WILL be on the PGA Tour” says the dad. LOL. good luck with that. im a PGA teaching professional, just make it fun for him, dont burn him out. and get him into has many tournaments as possible. AJGAs mainly.
no, he says “we know he’ll be on the PGA Tour.” haha. work on Kindergarten first.
Really? Just because a person started at the age of 3 you expect he will be the next Tiger Woods? I’m not trying to sound all great but I am 16 now, I average a 39 on 9 holes and I have been playing for about 11 months. Some people pick up the game quickly and that is what makes a player great, being able to exceed and excel in a small amount of time.
@hoss011 It’s not a lie. For the past 7 months I have been going to the course 3–4 times a week, no less. 2 times with my coach and at least once a week to play 18 holes. I am a pretty quick learner. You can check out my instagram for some swing videos and everything if you want.
deleted my ig… you dont have any vids on youtube??
No sorry 🙁 I guess you will just have to take my word. And as a golfer that is the strongest thing I have, my word.
@trevor mandina golf is a fucking hard game son, i seriously doubt that you pick up a club for the first time, regardless of how much you train during the week and have a handicap of 6 less than a year later.
@hearts76100 I’ve already found my brick wall, and that is Tournaments haha. It’s like I turn into a moron with 0 course management skills. I take stupid shots like trying to hit a pitching wedge over a tree when I could just as well punch a 4 iron under it. And I’m extremely inconsistent, I suppose consistency comes with experience. 🙂
Lol
Who thinks he’ll be the next Tiger Woods
He’s not the next Tiger Woods. He’s the next 3 year old hitting a ball.
I would like to say Thank You to all of Baby James fans!!! We appreciate your support! Please like Baby James Facebook page under Baby James golfer!!! Thanks again!!!
Yeah right Tommy is better cuz he only has 1 arm! And calls his arm Nemo and has a golf cart with Nemos! Also he’s been on Ellen show
Mad skills m8,get rekt
He’s next tiet woos at that age
Tiger
Woos
Woods
I used to get lucky like this when I was younger
Wayyyy to much hype for this kid. I get he’s young and he has great contact, but they don’t have a clue what he could be doing in the future. It’s a looooong shot to go PGA. And he was hitting it max 50 yards. The only thing I was really surprised about was his putting.
I remember playing when I was 3 or so years old. I think it’s great. Some kids just naturally love the game, and have a natural ability to wind and unwind in their swing. We put a small chip and putt golf hole in my front yard and I’d be out there until it was too dark to see just playing it over and over from different “tees” with my father. By the time high school rolled around I was already beginning to be burned out. Golf became all about practice and no longer about just having fun sending a ball flying towards a hole or hanging out with my father. I began playing a lot less, and losing a lot of passion for it. I still captained my college team, but it wasn’t as fun as those days as child before anyone really put pressure on you to shave a stroke off your game. I hope Baby James’s parents don’t push him, but just let him treat it like a game for as long as possible. Once it goes from game to sport, it begins to take a toll on you mentally. A kid with his natural ability will progress leaps and bounds just by having fun with the game and some occasional instruction. I truly wish him the best of luck and I hope he always loves the game.
this kid has nothng i was playing golf when i 1 so yeah screw him
I hate seeing these kids being pushed by fathers who are living their dreams through their children
no pressure kid
He is so cote
I mean cute
Thank you Zeshan!!!!!
No pressure kid, especially with your idiot father self conceded bragging rants and yapping about going to the PGA. What an embarrassment to have a father like that.
Hi Nicole.…keep him at it! A star in the future…
Hi, Khairil! Thanks for your support! I will encourage him all the way! We travel to Florida so that he can play in tournaments, He has won both tournaments he played since this one in the video and these are 2 nine hole rounds for 2 days 1,000 yards each day and he just turned four!!! He has improved his game 10 to 12 strokes since this video was taken!!! He is truly an amazing little boy! Please follow him Khairil on his facebook page under Baby James golfer! It would be great if you would like his page!!! I always add new video and photos!!! James will be eligible to play US kids next May, He can’t wait!!!!! Thanks again for your support!!!
Most importantly…he keeps enjoying it!
Wow. He can sink a putt
i want to see a video of the kid who shot 43… see 4:39 in the video.
he fucking 3. who cares
he clearly likes the golf more than the camera. true golfer. well done kid!
@nicole grimes
well,the pup likes to putt and shows a lot of confidence judging from the pace at which he does. So half the battle is already figured out :-), i’d reckon he’ll enjoy working his way reverse (Putt 50% -> Chip 30% -> Drive 20% of the practice time).
John Jeyapaul hi how are you doing
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww so cute
He’s actually just like me, I’m 15 and I started at 2,5 y/o but I only took 1 on 1 courses instead of going on the main track, which annoyed me so I stopped but I started playing again several years ago
For every six tries he probably hits the ball
Is that an actual golf course? It looks more like a glorified cow pasture.
The spend all their money on green’s fees so they have to cut his own hair with the world’s world cereal bowl?
The kid is 3 years old.. He’s far from the next “Tiger Woods”. All he’s doing is hitting the ball, no regards as to what he’s actually accomplishing.. If he was around 10 years of age shooting par and below consistently and knew what he was doing and how he’s doing it, then he would have a good chance at being the next Tiger woods. (79 tournament wins, 14 majors) The chance of there being another tiger woods is almost impossible considering the variety of skills and players now days.
@A Cabsalt no in football I have to think about the angle at which I should throw the ball and the amount of power. Sports (real sports) are based on calculations.
@notformebeaky I was playing football today And I was about to through a far pass and I thought I need this much power and this arc and I threw a perfect pass.
@playlist central
lol…but keep in mind: in every stadium there are other circumstances fpr the wind…
you have to calculate that into your needed speed as well 🙂
you don´t calculate anything 😉
@A Cabsalt and you add those in
@playlist central stopp bs me 🙂
How do I contact them? I would like to give them advanced teaching lessons free
Pretty amazing. His contact is outstanding. Best of luck little man!
Hi Scooter! Thank you for your support! I agree you definitely have to keep it fun! He loves it!!! He has been doing so well lately, We played nine holes this evening and he made a 30 foot downhill putt for birdie!!! It was amazing! We have it on video on his facebook fan page!!! If you have a chance and your on facebook, please search for him and like his page under Baby James golfer!!! Thanks again for your support!!!!!
Indeed. I recently became head chef at a country club and me and my wife are playing again. My two kids are very interested (3 and 5) and have played with us. Its a great sport and a super way to be outdoors. Best of luck. Ignore all the a‑holes, James will take all of them to the cleaners in time!
Props Nicole! This kid could become something awesome, just don’t let him lose sight that is a game and should be for fun. Thanks for sharing!
Hi again Scooter! I tried to reply to what you wrote me back with, but it wouldn’t let me, I think it’s wonderful your children are really interested in golf as well as your wife too!!! It’s a great game for the family to get involved in!!! I tried playing with James once but he is too fast for me… Lol… I couldn’t keep up with him! It’s great that you work at a country club as well and head chef, that is awesome!!!
I do read every comment on here and yes they do have negative as well as positive but that comes with anything of course and all of the positive supporters we have like yourself definitely outweigh the negative for sure!!!!! We really appreciate Baby James fans and how they support him including yourself!!! Thanks again and definitely stay in touch on facebook, I always upload new video to James page!!! Thanks again!!! Nicole Grimes
colin you are good just trust on your self man’
Thanks everyone for the likes on this video produced by ABC nightline!!! If you would like to follow Baby James progress please like his facebook page under Baby James golfer for new photos and video footage of Baby James on the course in action daily!!! Thanks again for your support, Nicole Grimes!!!!!
He’s white
It’s in our blood. It’s what we were born to do. We feel and see the course differently. I can’t explain how or why ‚it just is. You have wonderful times ahead watching his love and passion for the game grow . Go get’em James !
Ryan Grimes Hello how are you
I started when I was 14 months
Support.
No
My 5 year old daughter hits it better than this kid. She plays with me every Sunday and shoots in the 50s for 9 holes on a championship course (women’s tees of course!) I have no intention of calling local papers or TV stations or putting vids up on Youtube. She just enjoys playing with her dad as I do with her. I wish this kid all the luck though.
Nice comment and good low figures considering there are still men out there hitting 120+ after a few years of trying to play the game. She’s 5yrs, remarkable and enjoy your day.
You do realize 3 to 5 is a huge difference, right?
odd flex but okay
Amazing to watch, only 3yrs yet a great swing and he keeps his head down after contact. Kid has talent, think some of the idiots posting don’t know the difference between 3yrs and 30yrs old. Trolls, nothing more.
Thanks for your support Kani!!! James is really amazing!!! He has grown so much in his golf game since this video!!! James has a facebook page under Baby James golfer!!! Thanks again, Nicole Grimes!!!!!
You’re very welcome and all the best to you folks from Scotland.
2:44 “we know he will be in the pga tour” bahahahah
People need to stop making child athletes the most incredible things. He’s 3. Let him be a child. I got money says his parents force him into the sport
isnt he a bit white to be the next woods?
Tiger would have won the tournament by 8!
If he even became pro, that would be a miracle, and is going to cost a crap ton of money. The next tiger , most likely impossible. But i think it’s awesome how much of a chance your giving him, most kids don’t get the chance to even play golf, because it’s so expensive, let alone have a coach! Just let him love to play, and who knows what can happen. If he ends up playing on the tour one day, I’ll eat my words happily, and definitely be a fan. Golf is great.
Baby James recently won his tournament this December in Orlando!!! He won in the six and under division by three strokes, 2 rounds of 9 holes 2,200
Yards!!!!! He did amazing!!! We are so proud of him!!! This was his fourth tournament this year!!!
umm… he’s fucking 3 years old… and his dad apparently knows he will “be on the pga tour”. High hopes there pops. I would hold off on that call for a few more years down the road.
Poor kid, parents are obviously obsessed with him being a golfer. So what if he plays with golf stuff, if thats all that is put in his hands he will play with it… Judging by the emotionless expression the mother has and her sports attire coupled with the fathers obvious pushing “We want him to make the pga tour” I would say this kid doesnt get any say. Golf prodigy no, retarded parents yes. Practice everyday? Full time coach at this age?
You cant say that he is the next tiger woods. What if he gets tired of golf or something happens. I do admit he is pretty good for a three year old
Here’s the “private” message this mother sent me via Facebook last night; time-stamped at 1:26 AM. If you’ve been following any of these comments by this mother over time, you will probably immediately notice a lot of inconsistencies in her “story”. I chose not to give her a “private” response. Instead, I will paste my response to this as a reply.
“Hi Brad! This is Nicole, Baby James mom! I found you here on Facebook.
I noticed you wrote a few comments on Baby James You Tube video recently, I never expected that from you!!! Anyway.…..Your son is an amazing golfer! I watched some of his videos awhile back! You should be very proud, What age did your son start playing golf? James is an amazing little boy, and he is 4 and a half now and yes he will be playing US Kids very soon!!!
James wanted to start playing tournaments and wasn’t old enough for US Kids yet so we would go to Florida and play, And he did really well! He would play two rounds! He shot in the lower to mid fifties for 9 holes and the yardage was anywhere from 1,000 to 1,100 yards! His last tournament was this past January and he shot a 47 in his first round which was amazing!!! A few months ago he broke 50 and started shooting in the forties more!!!
Last week he shot a 46 for his nine hole round which was for 1,100 yards!!!
He still shoots in the low fifties at times, anywhere from 50–54, but has definitely shot in the forties many times in the last few months! I love watching how he grows with the game!!! He showed an interest at a very young age and I really didn’t know anything about golf but I learned the basics real quick!!! I will definitely continue to encourage him! I know he does get compared to Tiger Woods by the media but because Tiger also started golfing as a toddler!!! James is an amazing golfer and he has grown so much since the video on You Tube!!!
I started his Facebook page shortly after that video because a lot of his fans were wanting to follow him, I don’t even use his Twitter account anymore! I just load everything to his Facebook page!!! Well congratulations to your son! He is an amazing golfer!!! Oh I noticed you guys live in Utah, My brother lives there now, He has lived there for about a year now, He lives in Kanab, If I spelled that right! He seems to really love it there!!! Take care now,
Nicole!
”
My response to the mother’s “private” Facebook message:
“So, are you yelling at me here? Or do you just not understand when and/or when not to use the “!” character? I’ve always been confused about your use of that character. Also, how can you possibly make a comment like, “I never expected that from you!!!”? You don’t know me, and you don’t know anything about me. In fact, I’m sure we’ve never met and that we will never meet. So how could you possibly ‘expect’ anything from me, one way or another. As far as the rest of your message, most of it is the same ‘olé blah, blah, blah… that you’ve been saying in this comment section. Outside of you, your husband and your immediate family, who really cares? None of it matters to me.
I’ll tell you “why” I take issue with this video along with all your comments. To be plain, I just don’t like bullshitters and con artists. The single reason why this video has so many hits is solely based on it having the name “Tiger Woods” in the title; period! And your son in no way, shape or form even compares to the talent that is Tiger Woods. You must know somebody in TV because I’m sure that’s the only way he got on the news, aside from it perhaps being a very slow news week when that video was taken. And to be honest, I don’t take issue with your son being on the news; they can report what they want for all I care. But the fact that you are exploiting it for all it’s worth simply disgusts me as a parent. In fact, Tiger Woods really should file a lawsuit against you and your husband for what you are doing, and force you to remove his name from this video. You clearly included it for your own personal gain and nothing more. And let’s not be coy; most people understand how YouTube and Facebook work. The more hits the more likely you are to have people click on the ads, which could be financially beneficial.
Also, the more times I hear your “story” the bigger the lies get. That’s the thing about lying that I guess you guys just don’t understand. The more you lie, the more you have to lie to cover up or explain the previous lies. At first, your son was playing from around 800 yds. Then your comments indicate it was from around 900. Then 900 – 1000. Now, in this comment to me, it’s grown to 1000 – 1100 yds overnight. You also more recently indicated that your son has consistently dropped 10 – 15 strokes off his scores. Based on this comment he’s now shooting around 50. So that means he was at 60 – 65, or perhaps more if not for your exaggerations? Which almost exactly matches my recent, intuitive comment about if he shot 75 and won the tournament only because all the other kids couldn’t break 90 in 9 holes. And sheesh! Tell the story 5 more times and he’ll be breaking par from the back tees.
I actually appreciate you telling me what his scores are; that will save me from having to look them up later. However, it only confirms to me what myself and a lot of other people are saying about this video and your comments. And that basically is that both you and your husband are obsessively delusional. Sure, your son made a few putts during the course of being filmed; so what. We all already know that the news cuts, clips and splices their way into great news stories. So keep on posting stories that imply your son is capable of making 10 or more consecutive putts from various positions on the green and from over 30 ft.
Finally, I don’t wish any ill will upon your family. Just drop all the bullshit, that’s all. And for shits’ sake… stop begging people to run and ‘like’ your Facebook page and become ‘fans’. If your son ends up being as good as you think he is, then his golf will do all the talking that’s necessary, and his fan-base will grow naturally. It’s only going to hurt ‘him’ in the long run if you and your husband continue like you are. In fact, if it were me in your situation at this point, I would hit the reset button by taking down this video. But I already know by your previous comments that you are way too vain to do something as sensible as that.”
Hmmm… Based on your comment, it appears like you didn’t read and/or understand my comment fully. It also appears like you didn’t pay good enough attention to the interview in the video (the father’s comments).
Anyway, you’re entitled to your opinion so think what you will. But at least I formed my opinion after fully understanding the situation. You may want to read my comment again, but more carefully this time. I can see 2 questions in particular that you asked that I’ve already answered.
That kid has some gift.
Thank you Panda Man 😊
@PandaMan A fellow Panda.
@Jack Moutell B‑Brother? Is that your?
When i was 2 i was able to shoot 29 from the tips this kid has a LOOOONNNGG way to go if he wants to beat me
@jared yant no need to lie. physically impossible.
Muy buen video espero jugar igual
I’m 10 and he’s way better than me but I don’t care I barely play I only played like 20 times so I don’t care but gust saying he has mad skillz
This kid is simply incredible!! He can swing and putt way better than I can. Such a little champion.
Thanks Tri Do!!!
As good as Jordan Spieth***
Thank you Trippi Tacos!!! Jordan Speith is really amazing isn’t he!!!
He really is. I just turned sixteen and finally I have a golf/sports athlete I can look up to. I’ve liked him even before he could get a sponsorship with Under Armor. I’m so happy to see him at this level. He is gonna be a good person to be the face of golf
Tiger dominated the PGA for over 10 years straight. Jordan won one major.. I’m sorry but jordan is no where near the level that prime tiger woods was at.
All i hope is this kid has a love for the game and the parents arent forcing him into playing because he is good. This world would have alot more athletes if the parents let them chose on their own!
Jordan Spieth is already the next tiger woods…
Rory is the next woods
DbrowNick dose Jordan spieth have 71 trophies
false, not even close
No, Rory might be close. Tiger is one of a kind.
I started just like this, hitting the plastic balls into the tv screen right when I learned how to walk. I modeled my swing after John Daly. The very, very beyond parallel swing, yeah that was me at 5. I am 13 now and play in tournaments every weekend. Its great to see kids starting out at such a young age on a great sport like this!
Wow! This kid is amazing! I look forward to watching him on the PGA Tour!
i need o be coached by that kid
he can chip better than me.. and im 22 haha
It’s good to see that this kid has gotten the support of both his parents when it comes to playing golf. Hope he goes places to become even better than Tiger Woods.
Thank you Fairway ministries! James will always have our support and encouragement!!! He is doing very well! He is a very determined little boy!!! James has grown so much since this video, If you would like to follow James please do so on facebook under Baby James Golfer!!! Thanks for your support!!!
@nicole grimes My little one is swinging his plastic sticks really well aswell and thinking of getting him some real sticks. Your son is really good and whats more important than anything else is that he is allowed to be a kid,and have fun and you doing great.
TheFunkyTechGuy, Thank you! James really Loves the game! He will play in his 7th tournament this weekend, He loves having other kids to play with in the tournaments. If you decide to get your little one real clubs, Look into the U.S. Kids golf clubs! They are great, That’s all James plays with! Great for kids! Thanks for your support, and Good Luck with your little one!!!
my dad plays better than tiger woods currently and hes 68.… but this kid is very talented
hes a scratch golfer at my country club.
Ok
@TheSpyt67 Your Dad has probably never played courses that are as tough as a PGA tour – and if he did, he would be doing quite well to break 80 on them. Your country club is not 7400 yds with rock hard greens, massive bunkers, forced carries to greens, ect, ect. It’s not even to be compared. Tiger is in a big funk, but he did have a top 10 at the Master’s this year – a tourny that the best amateurs in the world find very difficult to even qualify for.
@VWRabbit2008 you are right he can’t right now, but still most players in the world have a hard time breaking 100 much less 80 so my comment still stands his dad can not beat tiger woods. Yeah tiger is in a funk but was ranked number one for ten years. That’s a feat i dooubt anyone will accomplish
@TheSpyt67 Even scratch golfers are sooo far behind the pros when it comes to consistency and pressure execution. Not to mention that hardly anyone plays greens as fast as the PGA – like putting on ice.
It’s very unlikely your dad could beat even the worst player on the tour, and Tiger’s not quite the worst.
10,000 “scratch golfers” tried to qualify for The Open last year.
*10,000* – and they’re pretty much _all_ the best golfer any of their friends or family know – and yet, almost NONE of them can survive on the Tour. Tiger’s been on the Tour for almost 20 years, and completely dominated the sport for a decade.
The _worst_ player on the PGA tour is like the worst player in the NBA – maybe he’s not as good as Shaq, but he’s still almost certainly waaaay better than anyone you know.
He’s going to cheat on his wife with hundreds of women
@Cole H Right! If this piece was honest they’d feature dozens of 1- and 2‑year-old girls standing nearby watching him with earnest. At least what caddies say about women spectators at tournaments.
Cole H not with that haircut
Not with his haircut
He started young so double that
when i was 1 month old i could hit 5000 yards
NO
I can hit the ball further than this kid.
The tommy kid with one arm is 100% better
God forbid! We need another Tiger Woods like we need another Barry Obama!
Ha, i got that joke. Funny shit
@Hank Stone We need another Tiger Woods before we ever need another Hank Stone.
@TraumaER Or even the first one.
😉
I think the reason why they compared him to tiger is because of the video of tiger when he was little. The parents even said in the video they don’t know what his future holds. People take things too seriously. Just recognize his talent at such a young age and only time will tell what he will do with it.
I just hope his parents keep it fun for him and don’t start trying to ride on his increasing talent and put pressure on him to use it to make money. They don’t seem like that type but who knows.
lol why am i watching this… the only golf i have seen is few clips on the internet and only player i know is tiger woods…
@Sparta T Yea that was kinda funny. You have to be one of the worlds top 2–300 golfers to be on the PGA tour. But he is off to a great start. Good luck to him.
@Sparta T ikr
Dang he is real good for his age and um yea he is the next tiger woods
This video is pretty sad. The kid showed absolutely no ounce of special talent in the video, all he did was (poorly) manage to hit a golf ball. Any 3 year old that is taught golf is capable of doing what this kid is
Andrew- Thank you!
Robert Hicks- Great News! James won his U.S. Kids Tour Championship this past Sunday, He shot a 41. Just 5 over par for the whole 9 holes! It was really amazing! His lowest score yet for his U.S. Kid tournaments, He also made both of his par 5’s as well. I knew he could shoot close to par , We just had to wait until he was ready. He is only 5 and a half years old now. He was so happy and excited!
Andrew Jackson, I wanted to update you on James.….He had an amazing season, He shot
37, 33, 38, 41, 34, 39, 37. He won The Local tour champion award in his age division for Summer 2016, Fall 2016, And Spring 2017.
He is very blessed, Now he is in the 7 age division, He will turn 7 the end of July. I can’t believe he will be 7 years old. Time flies.
He has quite a bit more distance now in this division, But he is doing really well with it.
In terms of making solid contact he is great but when he putts he kind of looses concentration I’m not saying I could do better at his age but I think his parents are pushing him to hard
Andrew Jackson more spin=the ball goes further? Sorry but that is false. Lower spin rate= more distance in golf
little kid worshipping.
No Pressure
I can’t hit a ball without splicing it and hitting a deer in the woods. RIP Deer.
The dad is like “We know he’ll be in the pga!” lol XD
Hopefully he doesn’t get burnt out, but I would find it hard not to if you start playing competitively at 3 years old.
Hi Wiley! James will be playing in his 10th tournament this weekend, He is now 4 years old!!! He Loves to play!!!
That was me back in the day.…. Or that’s at least what my mom always told me 😉
anyone think the kid may just be catching on because his mother did it…not just the kid turns out to love golf and be great at it. His mom is a golfer, his dad obviously feels passionate about golfing as well. Maybe the kid is only doing that because his family only buys him golf clubs to play with or they could even be enforcing a punishment if he decides he doesnt like playing it… That ever come across anyones mind? Or he could just have it in his DNA. No kid at the age of three is going to crazily practice golfing all the time unless the parents are praising him for it.
+ Lance Johnson, Hi I just wanted to respond to your comment about My son James who plays golf! I am actually not a golfer, I caddy for James but I never play golf! My husband actually just started playing a little golf so that he can play with our son every now and then!
James practices a lot yes, But not constantly, He practices every evening anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, and He plays a nine hole round plus his tournament round during the week! He plays with toys, rides his bike, and plays on his swing set just like a normal kid!!! He watches cartoons!!! I feel that he has been blessed with a very special gift, Which is his golfing ability and he is very smart!!! He enjoys playing golf very much and loves to challenge himself!
My husband and I will always encourage him with his golfing because he is so amazing!!! James will be playing in his 10th Golf tournament this weekend, and he is 4 years old! He loves playing in tournaments!!! James has a great life, and He is a very happy child, He just happens to also play Golf extremely well!!!
James is a very Happy child who happens to play Golf Extremely well!!! 😊
you all watched the whole thing?
well i think he has a future ahead of him
+Gavin, Thank you! He is an amazing little player! He was suppose to play in a tournament today, but it was cancelled due to the rain! It will be rescheduled soon though! Thanks for your support!!! 😊
you’re welcome I mean that is some fine golf shots there he is a natural
@Gavin Marx tzzuuzzzuij
0_0 Dark
Hell, I was better then that when I was younger than three.
are u sure the kid actually wants to golf everyday?… the parents just want to get rich lol
Do you really want you kid to grow up to be self indulgent jackass that cheats on his wife every chance he gets?
nah,he will find the computer more fun.
he has a news story about him coming fourth
+Eddie Price I hope golf doesn’t kill him through boredom first.
yep
+BroElm 379 Why? So he can be raised dependent on his parents without even the CHANCE of a self-sufficient life?
Wow bro
Tiger Woods had a great swing even when he was 2 in the video. People could tell that he was going to be one of the greatest in the world at the time.
He cant be the next Tiger Woods. This kid is white.
This kid is not really even good. he was teeing up shots in the middle of the fairway. His putting was so lucky also
Thats amazing I can’t believe my eyes! @ABC News
Amazing three years old that’s nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Way to go baby James plays like Fred couples.
does he even lifft?
The mother doesn’t sound proud 😂
Maybe the dad’s a racist.
One problem. His White
I could take a great poop at age 3, where the fuck is my news coverage
Hey you want a golf prodigy with a difference, in Youngstown Ohio theres a 4 year old who critiques the game of his 11 and 12 year old team mates and gives LESSONS to adults lucky enough to be in his gallery. Perfect form, calm demeanor, freaky understanding. His first name is Riley. Amazing …
When he putts he just gets lucky he doesn’t line up the putt at all
Awsome 🙂
the next tiger is already here. his name is jordan spieth.
@ajg34 na, at ten he’ll get bored of golf and find video games
+Bryan Kinsey exactly what’s wrong with video games…? You DO realize the gaming industry is booming. Pro gamers make more than some/most professional athletes. In a sense video gaming is considered a sport.
Man I have ten days played on Bo3 and watch esports I now
The word “prodigy” means nothing these days. All I see is a kid having fun.
Just because he can’t stop hitting the ball doesn’t mean he is the next Tiger Woods, you kept on going on about how he plays so much. He showed not a single ounce of talent.
4:30 that is the most atrocious green I have ever seen
Wow
I almost barfed
I PLAY on worse
Come see what we deal with weekly!
Holy crap I didn’t even notice
parent conditioning.…
Omg hes swinging a club at a ball.…not that hard ive seen 3yr do much harder things
Okay, you go play better than him!
You’ve never played golf have you
@Matthew HYou don’t gold do you?
This is nothing my 3 year old is twice his size and hits the ball every single time. This kid does not have the power my kid has.
Chuck Norris is the next Tiger Woods.
better get some leg action if you’re gonna be a young tiger.
wtf
“Greatest athlete” no. Tiger woods is not an athlete. He plays golf. Golf is shit.
@CollegeFootball4Life And he makes more money in a year than you will in your entire life.
@CollegeFootball4Life lol.
Talk that nonsense after you can hit a golf ball 300+ yards down the fairway, as tour players like Tiger do every day.
Andrew Presnar so you’re saying someone who golf’s everyday (assuming they walk the course) would not be in shape
Gold “athlete”
The kid at 4:10 had a really nice swing, they need to be interviewing him not the other kid.
We’re did you get the clubs
We buy them from U.S. Kids Golf, Really great clubs for children!
Awful swing. Kids gona be duck hooking it when he develops. Get rid of him
He shot a 12 on a single hole and he is the next Tiger Woods? LOL! It’s obvious the parents are losers that are trying to turn their kid into a goldmine.
Looking at the comments, it seems people who don’t golf really have no idea how hard it is to do what this little boy is doing.
“Pure” they call it. Little James “pures” the ball.
3 year old toddlers aren’t supposed to be able to do that.
Adults can barely manage it. And novices… hahaha… they provide entertainment just by trying.
James Grimes is _remarkable._ No doubt about it.
+Matthew H Really? lol The bragging about money is a pretty sad, immature and useless tactic for you to try.
Golf isn’t something that even CAN be “mastered.” People can lose their swing. Tiger Woods might be the best golfer who ever lived, but then he lost his swing. The greatest golfer in the world forgot how to golf. *Golf can’t be mastered.*
Golf isn’t one skill, it’s a hundred.
At about 5:00 into the video, James hits a tee shot and his mom says “nice draw.” Hitting a good draw is something that many golfers never master, no matter how many hours they devote to it. At 3, that’s insane. James shouldn’t be _able_ to do it. You _seriously_ have no idea how hard golf shots really are.
To have James’ skills at his age makes him nothing like _you,_ Matthew H: “junior driver programmer” – Baby James’ peers are guys like Mozart and Pascal and Fischer.
You’re just a “junior driver programmer” – you’re replaceable. There are hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands who can do what you do. You’re nothing special. *James is genuinely one of a kind.*
Anyway, I’m sure you’re going to keep lying about golf being easy, because you’re hyper self-centered. But all this bluster and crap talk on golf and *a three year old child!* is really just pathetic. How old are you?
Grow up a little bit, okay? Give it a rest.
Yep
There will never be another tiger woods
Golf is not hard
Great points but they should just let him be James then. Tiger Woods was something else.
You think knowing their son was going to be on TV they would go a different route with the dumb and dumber haircut.
It’s just too bad Tiger isnt as good as he used to be.
+Mike Swentko hes coming back though slowly but surely
This didn’t age well.
Good call lol
Cool little kid. And a lot of talent for a three-year old. It might be a stretch to say protegy though, but best hopes for him. Just too early.
Oh look, everyone is a winner and gets a medal! Why!?! Why are we still doing this as a society? You don’t always deserve a prize or a medal. That is the whole point of competition.
Kid has a better swing than me. Golf is a hard game!
He’s no tiger woods
I want to see that 5 year old in the green shirt kid looks like a beast
I hate people that comment shit saying “americans” this or that, but damn is this is the epitome of why people hate us!! this kid is good but seriously “the next tiger woods”!!!???? holy shit ABC wanted those viewers!!
its to early to speculate if he is pga tour material no kid should have that pressure to make the pga
Theres a big difference between tiger and this kid tiger had to develop using a set clubs that are horriable to hit and if you go to places like asia there are golfer at that age who are so much better as there work ethics are ridiculous at everything they do
Just because he is remarkable at a young age doesn’t mean he is going to turn out amazing… I played with a kid in baseball when I was 7 who would hit a homerun 1 out of every 3 at bats and now he is just an average player. The game will catch up to him eventually.
the kids awesome all you guys talking smack are obviously not golfers! easy to say BS behind a keyboard. keep it up kid
Thank you Ian!!! Golf is a very tough game, James amazes me everyday!!! He will turn Five in a week actually, So he has grown since this video and has played in twelve tournaments just in a year’s time!!! He is doing very well with his Golf Game!!! Thanks again, and Take care!
@Ian Henne I agree. I golf a few times a week, and this kid could put me to shame.
Thank you for your support Shane, and have a great Golf game 😊
I would hope none of those kids still use a pacifier
that swing is terrible.
Wow! Amazing!
hope hes not the next Tiger Woods.. money wise sure but you dont want him to grow up and throw away the chance of being the greatest ever, blowing a record smashing career cause he cant keep it in his pants… you hope hes the next Jack Nicklaus!
My friends child was exactly the same as this boy real natural sporting talent at every sport he did, when he was 6 he was beating adults with ease
Give it a couple years and see if he even likes golf! Pushy parents are often the kids failure
A lion would never cheat on his wife, but a tiger wood. 😉
@D X you’re not that slow, are you?
@Mr WFH youre the one who took 4 years to reply
brody lockwood noce
@under score santa doesnt garden, he lives at the north pole where farms cannot survive
Wow
Better than me
I live in abita springs
The reason tiger woods is not such a “great” golfer is because he gets so aggressive and makes massive divots and hurts his spine and shoulders but he isn’t bad
What the heck seriously greatest athlete ever😂
The putting is a fluke, he doesn’t have any good control over the ball, also there will NEVER be another tiger woods.
There will never another jack nicklaus lol opps then their was Tiger.
wow the new tiger woods XD thats inpressing
you guys all know what happened to tiger woods right?
WARRIOR. GOLF. FREE
once his father pushes him hell grow out of the sport and hate it he will soon burn out once he goes on to us kids
James has already played in 7 U.S. Kid events, He shot his lowest score ever while playing on U.S. Kids this past Sunday!!! He also came in the Top Five for his tournament Championship! He is doing amazing!!! James just turned 5 recently! My Husband and I will always encourage him!!!
Jayandgem, Thank you for your very kind words and support. James enjoys playing golf very much, And he is getting better and better! He has a tournament this afternoon actually! He has played in 18 tournaments since this news video, and is doing amazing!!! Thanks again, and take care ⛳️
+nicole grimes and he will burn out the best US golf kids player turned pro was jordan spieth and he made top 40 once he was 33rd ‚I think what happened to the 32 kids before him?
I don’t see how gold takes talent. Just swing and pray
Baby James is great maybe he is the next tiger woods
I wish I could play that well
He’s on my team
I was better then that when I was 2
Whats up with all these averagely skilled children around age 5 who are being given their own segments on TV and being called prodigy? Im not hating, this kid is good but prodigy is definitely not the word to describe him. Lets see if he’s still even interested in golf 5 years down the road, and if he’s even interested in it at all then, and he can make par or almost par on a pro course, maybe prodigy would be an accurate description of this child.
He has played in 13 golf tournaments since this video a year ago and 1 being one of the biggest World Championships in the world!!! He plays Championship courses! James turned 5 recently!!! He does extremely well!!!
this is gross
his dad seems a little too confident lol
Good luck he is good – -
>
I love all the hate for a 3 year old. Unreal
The answer is no he’s not he’s a pasty white dork
I am surprised about the parents … the seem not to be pushing him too hard, which is great!
he has an outstanding swing
Stephen- Thank you! He does an amazing job! He just turned five a few weeks ago!
This is what I do to practice Swinging.I swing without the ball I am actully from Scotland uk⛳🇬🇧
I think he is showing off
At least compare him to Jordan
so intresing good luck james
Oh my God!
Show off
I hope his parents don’t overdo it. Nothing gets more boring more quickly than golf. Especially if the children aren’t given a well-rounded education.
At least video games have heaps of reading.
All these grown ass men talking shit about a 3 year old kid lol what the fuck is wrong with people
Driving irons? 😑
Honestly this kid knows how to play, and he has some talent. I have been playing golf since 2 and a half years old. My first ever shot was 40 years dead straight, I attracted all of the golf trainers there. I am now 13 years old and I can hit my driver 250. But the thing is I was on and off with my golf game, I wish I didn’t or I would be almost a scratch golfer. All I have to say to this kid, keep practicing and don’t make the same mistake I did by not practicing enough. If you keep on practicing, by the time you’re my age, you’ll be a scratch golfer. If you don’t keep practicing, you’re going to end up being an 11 Handicap (which is actually really good for my age, my dad’s a 9). If you keep practicing, you’ll make the Majors at 14–16 easily. Also, Tiger Woods sucks my left nut.
He isn’t black
This boy has incredible coördination for so young. The comparisons to Tiger Woods are silly because Woods is irrelevant in the golf world except to PC zealot worshippers.
Tiger is black so no way
“here hit this golf ball where i tell you to hit it” ye a prodigy lol lets see this kid in 10 years
this can prove that I suck worse than a 3 year old.
😑
My.baby brother real clubs when he was one he is to now almost good James
I’m shocked I played football when I was 4 years old and this kid has talent. It dosnt matter how old you are if you put your mind to it anything is posible You should be proud of your son I can tell he is going to have a future I’m proud of your son I wish him the best of luck and I hope he’s in the PGA someday. I’m jared I’m an athlete too from one athlete to another I’m proud. 🙂
Thank You Jared!!! He is doing amazing!!! Good luck to you as well, And thanks for your support!
This kid can putt, that’s for sure.
Thanks Markus!!! He is an amazing putter!!! He practices almost everyday!!!
burned out by 14 …happened to me
This kid got some skills, the next Rory Mcilroy,. jk. but you never know.
My god this kid makes my putting look like junk
no I don’t think he will
next Happy Gilmore?
This is an inspiration to all mushrooms that want to play golf!
I thought the news guy was about to say ” this is a golf prodigy, they call him Baby Jesus”, in the intro, I was like o hell no… hahaha. We’ll see, there is a lot that needs to happen between where he’s at now and where Tiger Woods was when he turned pro. I hate the word prodigy.
wish i could putt like that
0:11 golfers aren’t ‘athletic’
+Sherwin M. and if you say that in golf you only swing a club, then think about what you do in baseball, you swing a bat, and then if you talk about running, a MLB player runs an average of 7 miles per game, and in golf you walk 10 miles carrying a 30 pound golf bag.
30 pounds is nothing if its not the actual playing of the sport thats difficult then why would it be one? The only thing your getting a little fit from is the carrying not even the swinging and these days they have a cady or a golf cart to do the job for them
Yes 1 swing is not hard but when you swing a couple hundred times even up to one thousand times a day it is very hard
Hmm ok
jackson blanks not true. People who play more athletic sports do get athletic from their sports. Only the less athletic sports like golf where you dont need to use as much athleticness in sports like football or hockey needs training to be athletic
Fuck no he’s not the next Tiger Woods
He has quit golf
He is still playing golf!!! He will play in his 15th tournament tomorrow 😊 He is now 5 years old!
Anyone else have absolutely no idea how they ended up here or why they watched the whole thing?
Karim 301 GUIpppooooikkkkkkkkk
Noah Roberts me
H
Lol🤪🤪
I searched up drive chip but prodigy:I
Woah.
yes he is the next tiger woods
5:03 can’t say I’d call that skill..
Can’t be as he is White!!!!
Amazing kid
THIS kid is da best i plande iT for 4 years and i come at a 100meters i live eu
3:43 only relevant part of the video
I play golf but I’ve never seen someone that good when it’s a 3 year old
Putting better than me… Without consentration
That awkward moment when a 3 year old is 100x better than you at golf :/
He’s fucking 3 years old. Do people really think he’s gonna be a prodigy??? Have some sense people.
no
You can tell right now that these parents are tools… Thinking of possibility of future $$$ I hope they don’t force him into anything he doesn’t want to do.
Abc news shut the fuck up.
well this is what happens when you have money and encourage a child… no surprises.
I’ve watched this vid more then 10 times
Same
Harry Murphy hello how are you
He’s gonna hate golf by the time he’s 14 or 15… Children brought into competitive sports or just concentrate on one sport will end up getting fed up of that single sport.
Hes not that good. I was playing when i was 4 or 5 but gave up and came back a couple of years ago. It doesnt matter what happens when your that old, it matters when you’re 13–18 which is when big changes in your game occur. There are probably thousands of kids like this
He better learn how to write and read before turning pro. Not signing your scorecard at St . Andrews is kinda important!.….and could cost you THE OPEN
Lol.….He is writing now!
no he is not going to be the next Tiger Woods
I’m a girl and I’m gonna be the best golfer in Singapore
I live in southern Louisiana 😱😱
Just saw the documentary “Trophy kids!!!!” Wow these kid very talented but their parents are crazzzzzy !!!!
he does not sound so good as Eldrick tont woods plays like a Eldrick now
to bad the parents gave him a shocking hair cut
“Athlete”
student ath-o-lete – Eric Cartman
magic kid
Thank you! James is doing amazing! He shot a 41 for 9 holes in his tournament a few weeks ago, The tour Championship and he won! He starts spring season in about a week!
