    Whenever I film my rounds, there's always someone who asks what I'm doing, and it's always so tempting to tell them I'm taking my tripod for a walk.
    Of course, I tell them I'm filming my round for RUclips, as you did in this video.

    Super playing James. I suspect that start to the back 9 was a result of your excellent play on the front. We’ve all been there with the adrenaline rush from good play thinking we’re on for a stormer and then the game bites us in the ar*e! Overall great play that said… keep it up 💪

    Well done James. A really enjoyable video again on a another course I’ve played on golf trips to North Wales. It’s interesting to hear how you manage your way around and it’s great to see someone else’s perspective of these courses as they play them - it’s surprising how different it looks from your point of view, but I guess that because you found the fairways more often than I did 😂. Cheers, Jim.

  • @johnnycasswell7290
    @johnnycasswell7290 2 года назад

    Well played James! It was interesting to see how you played that course as I played it back in May and didn't get on with it very well, playing quite inconsistently, blobbing a few holes through bad play and finding the greens quite hard. Looked in good condition other than the long fairways as you said. You have inspired me to go back and play it again to see if I can do better! Not sure I'd pay £35 though. How would you compare it to Maesdu next door - which do you prefer and why?

    • @notaperfectgolfer3489
      @notaperfectgolfer3489  2 года назад

      Cheers Johnny, I like both courses but for different reasons. Maesdu is a really nice course and normally in amazing condition, plus the green fees are slightly cheaper for visitors. NWGC has the pure links feel and from the 5th hole onwards it's all top draw.
      I like both a lot and will continue to play them as often as possible. I'm yet to break 85 at Maesdu and I think it's the slighly tougher course out of the 2. I nearly played there today but ended up playing Northop instead for £18 which is a bargain.
