I’ve actually never even played it before but it’s very much high on my priority list for filming an episode 📝 Will need to reach out to them and try set it up 👍🏻

Thanks a million Jared, I love hearing this type of feedback especially coming from a fellow high handicapper. Don’t worry, the channel is here to stay. Hopefully I can showcase a bit of improvement soon 😂

I don’t know, I’ve seen his break 50 with DeChambeu and I’m not so sure I would 😂

Thanks Tom. Really appreciate that. Overall I definitely feel I’ve improved somewhat as my scoring has gotten much more consistent. Conor was an absolute gent, one of the soundest people I’ve ever met. I hope you enjoy Part 2 👍🏻

Thanks Simon I’m glad you found the video interesting and thanks for the well wishes. While I’m delighted to hear that I look like I could play off 18, this just isn’t the case unfortunately. The handicap is just an average calculation based on your best 8 rounds out of your last 20. My best round of those 8 is a 19.8 with the worst being a 27.8. The round you just watched was the equivalent of a 23, and that’s one of the better days. If you look at the remaining 12 of the 20 rounds (the ones that don’t count), I regularly shot low to mid 30 handicap equivalents. In fact, I’ve handed in 63 cards since I took up golf and only twice have I ever shot a sub 20 so there’s no way I could realistically play off 18 yet. But again, thanks for the comment and watching the video

Haha ah lucky for me he just had a very off day. He shot an 82 on the same course the day before, then had a few pints, a late night, and had to meet me at the course at 7am. He drove the ball a lot further than me and struck his irons so nicely. In the flesh I can definitely attest he’s a very good golfer but things just didn’t go his way….thankfully for me 😂

Thanks a million Dale, delighted to hear that you enjoy the videos 👍🏻

😂 it’s a fine line between updating the viewer and not concentrating on what you are doing, which I sadly found out 😂

Haha I was the same. I actually moved my position. His brother was in the cart adjacent to the tee box and even he got out and hid behind it. You can actually slightly hear him say it and Conor looks up at him just before his swing. That will tell you how much confidence he has in his swing…:unlike me 😂

This one took a while I’m not gonna lie 😂 Due to my convict status? 🦹🏻‍♂️

Haha thanks Stephen 👍🏻

Cheers George. Do I take it that more frequent posting would be welcomed? 😃

Can also substitute in difficult, hard, tough for the word gorgeous above 😅

Absolutely incredible course but definitely one of the hardest I’ve ever played 👍🏻

I saw he recently said that he could get anyone playing off 9. I’m convinced I could really put that theory to the test. But only one way to find out I suppose. You got his number? 😂

@@DiaryofaHighHandicapperdidn’t your opponent say he’d had a lesson from him?

Ah I was only joking. He did have a few lessons with him alright but not sure he’d lower himself to making content with me 😂 But if you don’t ask you don’t receive

Cheers Simon 👍🏻

Thanks very much mate. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback. I have been toying around with the idea of incorporating shots of some of the lies, I see other channels do it. Other people have also requested to include some yardage info on my shots so I could probably kill two birds with one stone here. I’ll see what I can do with my next videos mate and thanks for the suggestion👍🏻

Thanks Oliver, lost my way a little bit at the start of the back 9, literally felt like o forgot how to play golf for a few holes. But honestly that sums up my game and shows why I’m the handicap that I am. If I can just manage to find more consistency I know I’ll shave a few strokes off. By end tally do you mean final score? I don’t think it would have been too reflective to be honest as we both conceded a couple of holes without even getting to the green. In terms of stats though I did shoot 4 pars with some good looks at birdies so a few positives 😃

Cheers mate. Honestly just forgot to play golf for like 4 holes 😂 But that sums my game up. Once I hit a bad shot, they all creep in for a little bit

Congrats on 28 and I’m glad you enjoyed the content. Best of luck with your continued progress 👍🏻

Thanks Steven. A few wayward shots are to be expected at my level so I try not to get too disheartened with them. Golf is hard 😂

Thanks John

Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

He was top class Steven, one of the soundest people I’ve ever met 👍🏻 Part two is up on the channel now. Hopefully you enjoy 🍿

Cheers Robert, definitely saw a massive improvement in terms of constant scores this year. Hoping to put a solid winter programme in place and really go after it in 2025 🏌🏻‍♂️

Thanks a million Robert. Glad you enjoyed it. I had such an enjoyable round with Conor so I’m glad that came across in the video 👍🏻

Thanks a million David, really appreciate that. That’s the whole aim of my channel 👍🏻 He was genuinely one of the soundest people I’ve ever met 👌🏻

Cheers Shane, thanks for watching mate 👍🏻

I’m always open to content ideas my man 💡

Thanks very much Oliver 👍🏻

Cheers mate. Still the back 9 to come at 7pm tonight 👀

Thanks mate 👍🏻

Thanks Michael. Ah to be fair nothing went right for him on the front 9. He shot an 82 on the same course just a day earlier, had a few pints, a late night and then had to meet me at the course at 7am so I’m sure he wasn’t at peak performance either 😂 It was also incredibly windy. But I could tell by the way he struck the ball he’s a very good golfer. Had a good few yards on me with the driver and soft hands around the green. And still 9 holes to go also 👀

Thanks Lee. I do feel that my good holes are getting better all the time. Hitting a lot more GIRs and getting some better looks at birdie. As always just need to reduce the poor strokes. All will be revealed at 7pm tonight 👀🍿

Thanks a million mate, I really appreciate that you’ve taken the time to check out all of my content and I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Lots more to come too 👍🏻 Thanks again mate and keep up the golf on your end too 🏌🏻‍♂️

@@johnnewman7605 cheers John, it’s out tomorrow at 7pm 👍🏻

@@shaneodwyer2379 cheers Shane glad you enjoyed it. Part two is out tomorrow at 7pm 👍🏻

Cheers man, I take it that’s a thumbs up for the Matchplay format? Part 2 will be out tomorrow at 7pm 👍🏻

Genuinely one of the soundest people I’ve ever met 👍🏻

😂 Haha tell me about it. Was genuinely speechless for a few seconds

Thanks Peter, I really enjoyed the format and it was great craic to play against Conor so hopefully will have a few more guests on soon 👍🏻

@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper would appreciate a collab with Cristiano Ronaldo in the future as well.

Get rid of those 4 degree bounce wedges too. You’re not Phil Michelson - no offence. You need 12/14 bounce wedges and will help massively

Gladly mate 😂 I hate them. That’s why I explained I don’t like using them. I was given the clubs when I first took up the game. Will need to get some new ones soon 👍🏻

@@dquinn1988 just need to get the Messi video out of the way first and then Cris is next in line mate 👍🏻

@@kenirving5240 unless there’s a red or yellow stake you can’t. It’s deemed a lost ball and you must replay the shot from where you last hit. But yes if there’s stakes I’m aware of the options and tend to weigh them up during a round 👍🏻

Cheers mate, I appreciate that. I’m absolutely in love with the game, even if it’s not in love with me 😂

A massive upgrade 🎤

No fretting here my friend 👍🏻

Well three beaches is better than one so boast away 😂 If I’m lucky enough to be in Devon one day, as I hear it’s absolutely beautiful, I’ll definitely take you up on that 👍🏻

👍🏻

Thanks very much mate, really appreciate that. Hoping to add a 5 wood to the bag very soon 👍🏻

@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper 7wood...9 wood....just easier to hit

@@KPrigz on index 11 I have two extra shots due to my handicap. Take two strokes off a bogey and it becomes a birdie. A birdie is worth 3 points 👍🏻

@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper Thank you, that's a much easier way to look at it than what i was doing 😅

No problem mate, it’s tricky at the start but you pick it up after a few rounds

If you can afford it I’d buy a new set of game improvement irons just because the technology has advanced so much even with must ten years I think they’d be worth the added investment. Not sure you would need to get fitted just yet because if you’re anything like me, your swing is going to change massively from one week to the next as you try to learn the game. That’s just my thoughts anyway 👍🏻
