I apologise to everyone for blocking the camera, and I also apologise in advance for my further discretions you will witness.
However amazing holiday and big thanks to Luke for inviting me out with him to play some amazing courses.
You should also apologise for standing so your shadow is over the hole, I'd give you a right talking to if you'd been playing with me 😊
Would love to see more of Fents' golf game!
What did you score Fentz?
@@jonathanmcroberts8549 I scored 99 mate. Not much better haha! But a very enjoyable round anyway
Good old Fent the Gent 👀🤦♂️🤣
Commiserations fella and very brave of you to publish. Usual high quality production. Painful yet still entertaining to watch your bad day of the office.
Thanks Bilal, appreciate it mate
we are all here for the golf. keep up the great work. we all see ourselves in your golf game.
Will do mate, thanks! 👊⛳
Luke you are really brave for showing us your golf wounds from a tough round. You perseverance and maintaining your composure under very stressful circumstances is admirable.
Fents looked like he was playing pretty good out there.
I just got an idea, have Woody overnight you a Chipper.🤣
Hahaha I might need one Dave! Thanks for watching as always mate ⛳👍
@@UpDownGolf
My pleasure
Well, a bad day on the course is better than a good day at work! Amazing scenery!!!!
Definitely. It's a great course 👍
The golden rule of golf and possibly one of the main reasons the sport is so damn frustrating, is that the harder one tries, the worse the results. It never fails and for that reason I try to imagine that I am hitting into a practice net when I am making my shots on the golf course. It's the only way I seem to relax and keep minimal tension in my body. But the SECOND that I any effort sneaks into my swing and I'm chunking and topping and hacking my way around the course lol. Great video as always and thanks for sharing your ups and downs.
Totally agree mate! Keeping tension out of the swing is paramount for me too 👍
Except for the fact I'm older than you, our swings look very similar, which is one reason I enjoy your channel so much! Try the intermediate targeting thing, that helped me a lot! Cheers.@@UpDownGolf
Oh man, I felt your pain on hole 9 when all those shots were chunking! Props to you for just keeping on 'cause that's all we can do. Keep going and keep the content coming. It's refreshing to know that we are all labouring in this together and it's not just me!
Also, is it weird that every time you have a par look, I get on edge and start urging that ball to go, go, go??
Ahh when that feeling comes over you where you have literally no confidence you're even going to make contact, you know you are in trouble!
Haha appreciate that! 👊
You don't see honesty like this anymore, thanks for posting, you can blame the heat 😂
Haha thanks I will 😂
Dude kudos to you for putting this on the internet, warts and all. That takes incredible courage.
Thank you for sharing both your successes and your tough times with us!
Thanks for watching peetwi, appreciate man 👊⛳
I appreciate the relatability of the round. These rounds happen and we learn so much.
Thanks Nevin! 👍
Just recently found your channel and absolute love this episode, not that you struggled with the golf but the honesty and really showing the struggle that we 15hcp golfers sometimes ends up in.
Beautiful course and nice footage, will be a lot of fun to watch more of your videos. Keep grinding and good luck!
Thanks Stefan, really appreciate that man 👊⛳️
Your patience is to be commended, stunning looking course and these rounds happen to all of us, onwards and upwards👍👍
Thanks Steve! That’s it, still enjoyed it
I can sooo relate to hole 9, it's so damn hard to reset once it starts...
So so hard!
Gutted Luke. The only way is up from here, and I'm sure the chipping vibes will return. Hitting 127 at Faldo last August actually spurred me on to dedicate myself to learning the game. Looking forward to getting my revenge this year. Love the vids man. Such a down to earth and honest depiction of aspirational golf. Keep it up!
Thanks mate, appreciate it. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll smash it next time 💪⛳️
Tough round Luke, we all have some off days but you stay committed regardless of the outcome. You know what happens after a round like that, a great next round is awaiting you. Hope you have an awesome vacation and trip. Cheers mate
Thanks Kevin, appreciate it mate
Thanks so much for this awesome entertainment. You lads are so much fun to watch😎
Thanks for watching Thomas! Appreciate it 👍
Great Video ! Real Life ! Sometimes … just happens ! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Roberto 👊
Golf hey. Mad init but we keep coming back to this great game. Unlucky fella we all been there. 👍🏻
Crazy mate, cheers!
Yep we’ve been there mate….we all know golf is hard and when it’s just not your day…it’s not your day! Move on now pal and get back out there and smash it! Love that your honest enough to show us the bad aswel as the great golf you’ve also been playing! 🙌🏻 chin up mucka
Thanks mate! Plenty more videos to come 💪⛳
Fair play for uploading this. I always take a week or 2 off after a few bad rounds or when im not hitting or swinging it well, clear the head and go back to the basics grip, setup, takeaway or focus just on the chipping and putting. Keep it simple and keep grinding.
Thanks MIGS 👍 I’m the opposite. I’m desperate to get out and hit more balls 😂
Golf is amazing. In no other game do you suddenly forget how to play halfway through a game. I don’t forget how to kick a football or pass a rugby ball, but sometimes I stand over a golf ball and honestly have no idea what to do!
I really enjoy the honesty of your videos. I have an incredibly inconsistent game and can relate to your round here (this week I shot +9 on the front 9, including 1 birdie, 2 pars, 2 double bogies and a triple bogey. All my wasted shots were from within 60y. God golf is hard!! 😂)
Hahaha it’s crazy Mick, wish I could explain that feeling. Thanks for watching mate 👍⛳️
Thanks for sharing. It can be such a frustrating game.I can never understand how I can play steady one day and the next like a complete beginner. Oh to be consistent
Infuriating isn't it! Thanks Jonathan 👍
We have all been there, my friend. Tough round but you were out there in the sunshine at a beautiful course. And it looked like you and your pal were having a good time. Enjoyed the video.
We had an awesome time thanks mate 👊
Great video, very relatable. Kudos to you for keeping your cool when it wasn't going your way.
Thanks Cory 👍
Like your videos. Keep them coming. We are both 15 handicap players but come at differently. You don’t hit it extremely long but most of the time the ball is in play and you avoid the big number (today’s video notwithstanding). I on the other hand hit it further but I tend to lose 2 or 3 balls a round. Hard to bring down my overall score doing that. Learning a lesson from you about how important it is to keep the ball in play.
Funny that Brad because I’m currently working on hitting it a bit further. We’d make a golfer between us 😂
I always say golf is a crazy game but i love it. great content waiting for the next one
Thanks Jeff, more to come!
I would say you should try other options when the chipping goes south instead of forcing something that’s just not there for the day. Look to chip and run with 7 iron, bump and run a hybrid, or putt if possible. Keep ball on the ground for the day. Regardless golfing at a beautiful course on a day like that will help ease the pain of a bad round. And a few 🍻 always help 😜
Haha very true Brandon 👍
Looks a amazing course that. Even if you don’t play well mate it’s still better then working. Great video as always. 🙌🏼
You're not wrong mate! Thanks 👊⛳
What a fantastic looking course! If your ever up here in Scotland there are some crackin courses too!
Definitely on the todo list mate! ⛳️👍
Huge difference going from winter play to warmer, faster conditions. You did well, all things considered 😊 Have a check of the exception to Rule 11.1a (for hole 11 on this vid) - easier to just always get playing partners to mark their ball on the green😊⛳️
Thanks Kristen, appreciate it 👍⛳️
Thanks for sharing this with us Luke! It's ok. Your honesty is great. I can certainly relate 🤣. You're a much better player than I am, but if I may offer an observation, I noticed that when you putt, your head lifts up to look at your ball roll away (sometimes even before the putter contacts the ball!). Keeping the head down "forever" when putting was something I recently learned from my coach and it seems to have helped my consistency in terms of direction. Hopefully it might be a helpful thing for you too! Looking forward to more of your content. Cheers!
Thanks mate! You’re 100% right with my putting. Something I’m going to work on going forward 👍⛳️
I sure you’ll smash it next time , looking forward to the next vid . Did make me feel better about my latest round so thank you! 😊
Aha I’m glad it helped someone Mike 😂
carry on guys, better days to come, as my brother said this week "a bad day on the course is better than a good day at work"
Haha very true! Cheers
Love watching your videos. Around the same Handicap as you (I'm a 16) but with a completely different play style. I drive the ball better than the 6 handicap I play with but my short game is tragic. Goal for the season is to get to a 9. I think I can do it and I think you could get to a single digit also!
That's awesome Spencer, best of luck with the season! Cheers mate 👊⛳
Hi here is a tip for you , when your struggling on a green roll it to the hole past the actual hole , WHAT I mean is imagine there is a hole behind the actual hole, this makes you hit it further . OTHER THAN THAT SET BALL LEVEL WITH FRONT FOOT , MAKES YOU SWING PUTTER FURTHER.
Nice tip Paul
Some great driving and still very entertaining content regardless of score!
Thanks man 👊
This will help my game. Whenever I'm starting to have a bad round. I'll watch this and know that my crap is not as bad this crap LOL. Just a bad eh?. That course looks expensive. Takes a bit of dosh to build a golf course on rubbish land and maintain it to that standard. Still I'm jealous I'd love to play bad golf on trip to there so we'll done mate rgd Wayne Robinson (NZ)
Not really sure what to make of this comment Wayne
Hi Luke, great video mate. Your driving and longer-distance golf game seems to be improving significantly becoming a much better standard. I think your short game is lacking a bit of tempo leading to the inconsistency of shots. If you are able to find a tempo that works for you, especially putting, this could help you drop quite a few shots. I hope this is useful for you and can't wait to see if improvements are made.
Thanks Ben, appreciate the advice mate 👍
Ouch mate 😳
Beautiful looking course tho and I hope u smash it nxt time 🏌️♂️🏴 good luck 🤞
Ouch indeed mate 😂 thanks!
Golf is a funny game! You just need to make one hero shoot or make a birdy and that 11 is a distant memory. Keep the vidz coming.
Completely agree Mathias. It's easy to hit a bad shot but it only takes one good one to go home happy
nice course, like to see U play it again. them days are unavoidable for us mid hc'ers. greens look hard
Yeah it’s a good course. I’m going back so I’ll give it another go 👍
Hole 9 😂 been there. Soon as I top the hybrid or wood go straight to iron, then give the hybrid another crack later, 3 strike policy applies before not coming out again 😂. Driver was on it to be fair, get some solid practice green work in, and you will have it nailed
Brilliant rule that Jack, think I’ll steal that one 👍 ahh mate my putting 😑🔫
I’m playing in the Canary Islands at the moment - 3 putting is very common, especially coming from Winter golf in the U.K. this is a massive step up in difficulty - that round is no disgrace to be honest
Thanks Chris, have a great trip mate!
one other club grip should be level with zip on pants and grip down , front foot back a little 4pm to 8pm swing . Paul try it
👍
105 don't worry that's not bad,enjoy and continue to play. Well done
Thanks mate 👍⛳️
Awesome video keep them coming. It must be difficult to focus on your game and all this video editing.
Thanks Gary. It's a full time venture mate! 😂
3 wood and 3 hybrid are hard to hit. I recommend a 5 wood and 7 wood. Works for me.
Cheers Fiesal 👍
Luke tough day but you should also have a two shot pen for hitting Fents ball on the green and the out of bounds is either one shot pen replayed from the original point of hitting the ball or a two shot penalty from the entry of oob
I dropped from the point of entry Mike but Fents let me off with the ball hit. You’re right though
@@UpDownGolf Fents letting you off for hitting his ball means he also incurred a 2 stroke penalty as it is against the rules for a competitor to agree to waive the rules. haha.....But that is really ONLY for those who want to take the rules serious. When I am playing a round just for fun I really don't pay attention to the rules all that much.
Rough day huh…it happens to everyone ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Sadly it does
Don't feel bad about your 11. I had a 12 Saturday on a 210 yard par 4. Hit 2nd from a covered mole hole, so it went a foot, bump and run shot into the creek we have to carry to get to the green, and 2 lost into the creek. I don't even know if it was a 12...felt like 20.
Ahhh I feel your pain man
Fantastic course! Was it expensive?
It's about 120 Euro I think Rob
Mate, that was f*****g hilarious, I am wetting myself here, if the shots aren't funny enough the commentary just about tops it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Tough course, we all have those days
Yeah I made it look extra tough 😂
We all have those rounds, you took it in your stride though 👍
Cheers Craig 👍
That's golf dude
Yup
Your driver was your friend! What do you think was the reason for your not playing to your usual standard?
Stunning course ATB👍🏌️♂️⛳️
I’m honestly not sure Gerry, just one of those days I think
You may have incurred a 2 shot penalty when you hit fenners ball on green 🤣
He was good enough to let me off 🙈😂
@@UpDownGolf
That's good
I've done it a few times and been let off
I think the chipper club might have helped you!
😂😂
couldnt help but notice you turn your head with your swing(especially driver) and hit the ball blind…..I do exactly the same..😂😂 Honestly iv tried to train myself to look at the ball but it just doesn’t work…if i do i lose my back swing …😁😂👍👍
Yeah I’m bad for it too John! Hard to stop doing it haha
@@UpDownGolf Yer dont stop.. I honestly tried so hard to keep eye on ball, but my back swing arc can go anywhere… Moving my head around with my shoulders just is my back swing, feels uncomfortable not to… Keep the vids coming pal.. Honestly prefer to watch you than the like of rick shiels. it’s honest golf, true golf👍👍
I bet you didn’t find a wakey wine there did you 😂
We did not haha
Fents the fence!
😂😂
No 11s on the card!!!
Agghhhh!
Not your best round but beautiful course and weather. Bad round of golf is better than a good day at work.
Haha you’re not wrong there David
Where is this course at? In Mexico? Btw, hitting another ball that is on the green with your putt is a 2 stroke penalty. So you actually scored a 7 instead of a bogey 5 on that hole. heh heh heh....
It literally says Gran Canaria at the start 🤔
@@UpDownGolf Well some of us have no idea where Gran Canaria is at........................
Tough when the wheels come off
It really is!
It's like I always say....."If you aren't making 100 in 9 holes, then you aren't getting your moneys worth."
😂😂 like that!
Well that maybe because for you like me your playing the wrong ball , as I understand it your h/c and mine are one stroke different , and the ball we should use are 3 or 4 piece for us it's distance not spin , I use wilson duo or callaway yellow without lines for me ,. Or TITLEIST yellow or Bridgestone, best ball though was wilson duo 20 concetative rounds same ball and a further 18 after that ,
PAUL GOLFER.
Interesting, cheers Paul 👍
Frustrating for you! My coach told me to keep my legs/knees still with shorter wedge shots... just a thought
Interesting, cheers Matt 👍
hi mate , are you still having lessons ? your alinement seems to be way out , love the vid's but would also love to see you improve . cheers
I’m working on it Jason 👍 cheers mate
And one thing I don't understand. Why don't you take the flag out? The hole looks so much bigger, imo.
Just to speak for me as an aside, I prefer the flag in on longer putts as it makes it easier to see the hole peripherally. Plus if the putt has a little steam on it I want that flag stick to slow it down some if it hits it.
I just prefer the flag in Steinar, I like to see it in my peripheral vision I think
@@UpDownGolf Maybe that why your long putts miss to the left? 😋
Just kidding, you missed equally many to either side this time. Just like myself, no consistency 😂
I don't understand why you don't show your friends shots, as well as the game your playing. do you not play against each other ? Golf can be a horrible nasty game.
A few bad holes can break you. Your driving has improved a lot,
The filming is slow so we can’t really film two peoples full rounds and keep up with pace of play
First off, you have to have big cojones to possess the courage to post a round you're not proud of; if every youtubing golfer did that we'd have a much fairer impression of how the game's played. Second, who cares about the score when you're on a stunning course like that!
That’s golf isn’t it! Sometimes you are shit 😂 cheers Rory 👍
Struggled there pal .
Big time Cousy
It is wrong of me to have really enjoyed that? You'll score a lot lower next time.
Haha glad you did! 😂
Well you certainly got your moneys worth on that course 😅😅😅😅 Spanish courses are not easy onwards and upwards to the next one you cant play any worse ,,,,,,,can you ?
Hahaha I bloody hope not Phil!
The person who’s to lazy to mark their ball should get a 2 stroke penalty…..👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
😴
your putting is terrible...you need to clean it up
Definitely
How do you do the shot tracer? That's really cool
ShotTracerPro the app is called mate
@Up & Down Golf nice! Which version do you use? Apple or Android? And do you have to upload to PC to make it look the way it does? Does it take a lot of time? A few old high school buddies and I get together once a year and golf and I'd love to be able to make a video for us to watch afterwards.
