    Hi Philip,
    superb video mate. Played there last year myself and it is hands down the toughest course I’ve played. I don’t think people really appreciate how blind the course is and how inconceivable the bounce of the ball can be. A serious test of golf but the setting is just excellent.
    Incredible production value as always
    Hope you’re keeping well 👍🏻

    Played here recently, was lucky enough to have a chat with a member on the practice greens beforehand and he was kind enough to inform me that all the greens break towards the cliffs even if they look flat. Tough course.

    Philly look at your swing on the 12th tee, that’s how you should hit the ball all the time. Way more balance and not jumping out of your shoes and early extending. lovely swing there

    Love the videos mate, I've been binging your stuff. I think you need to work on your course management a little tbh. The 2nd here was a prime example. Being over aggressive lead to a triple and the start of your downfall. take an iron, knock it within 30 yards of the green and get up and down, bogey at the very worst. No harm in playing safe. As we all know...golf is a hard game lol...Keep makin videos man!

    Fair play for finishing. That looked brutal. Nothing worse than waiting around. Did the group in front say anything to you or just ignore that you were behind? Seems mad. Wonder did they see the cameras and not want to let you through? Hopefully the next video goes better all round 🤣

    Tough Day on the course which was no doubt a result of the slow play / lack of etiquette. That said I have watched your videos for quite a while and without being too critical you definitely need to stop using that 60 degree as much as you do. Its costing you far too many shots as its not the percentage play a lot of the time. Using a lower lofted club would give you better results. Keep up the great content.

    Hi Philip have to say your patience was certainly tested & we all know as a guest you have to be very neutral but I can say it the group in front were just rude & ignorant oblivious to their fellow golfers these types exist in every club & you were unlucky just in the wrong place at the wrong time.chin up & keep us entertained

    Phillip, I've noticed there's an awful lot of movement with your feet (especially your left) during your back swing. I'm no expert, but I can't imagine it would be doing much for your swing.

      @@stoogemund Its a very flat swing. Hence the 2 way miss.(Pulls and pushes, the ball to the right looks like a push fade not a slice, open clubface in to out swing) Club face looks open at the top of the backswing. Which again makes sense as he would have to flip the hand to close it through impact to close it. So when he's playing well the timing of the hands is good, but once the timing if off, the 2 way miss comes back. But impact position is excellent. Especially with the irons. Little bit of early extension but nothing to bad. I would look at his takeaway. get the hands higher at the top of the backswing and hinge the wrists more, and try to get a more square clubface at the top of the backswing. (Maybe a slight grip change) Looking at his older videos that takeaway has gotten flatter. Probably trying to fix the slice, but its created its own problems. Plus i suspect he does not get his weight forward enough on the downswing.

      All good, both USGA and R&A removed that rule in 2004:
      “The 2004 revisions clearly implied that the USGA and R&A consider a single a "group," but did not explicitly state that. So another revision, in 2008, clarified that point and explicitly stated that a single is a "group," and has the same rights as any other group.”
