  • In today's video I show you how to shoot under 80 in golf & what a single figure handicap golfer looks like! I play around aberdovey golf club, one of Wales's best links golf courses and try to shoot my handicap! Although I got off to a shaky start I try my best to keep hitting driver straight and hitting my irons straight! and maybe try and stop slicing driver! Can I break 80? get your comments in down below!

    Liam....that was real golf. I have had those days in competitions... but I finished them out, enjoyed the meal that was being provided, and a couple pints. In one of the competitions my best friend won with a stellar 3 under par 69, so I was very happy for him! We've been friends for nearly 60 years now, and still chat on the phone regularly!

    Just goes to show when you’re not striking the ball well you can still scramble a reasonable score. A few puts you would never normally miss would have seen you comfortably under 80. Keep the videos coming.

    I know the feeling Liam.
    Last year I was playing a round of golf with my friend and I just couldn't hit a golf shot all day and I was +7 after six holes. I stopped caring where the ball went, didn't bother to check where I was aiming or anything. I just stepped up to the ball and gave it a whack. After 18 holes I was +5... Go figure... LOL
    The course looked spectacular though Liam. Especially the par 3 you almost aced!!

    Super video Liam again, well edited by Joe. Not your best day but hey ho no one was hurt, saw your old swing there as well over the top quite a bit, looked as if you were stretching for the ball at address, hence over the top. Still you will come back, you've got that bounce back ability. Keep up the good work.

    Such a remarkable track. UK golf is sooooo different from states courses. I love the openness of the links

I want you to play well but watching you try to shoot a score is not as much fun for me .Play and have fun that is what we all need these days and when your done say I was hopping to shout this score.To you and all of the gang Thanks

    I played Aberdovey a few years ago in an open Texas Scramble. Loved the course but found it just as tough as you did Liam. It started tipping it down as we played into the 18th green. It was my ball on the green for 3 so while my mate ran for cover to put his wet gear on I boxed a 20yd putt for par. It's the only shot I remember. That and my mate struggling with his wet gear only to be told we don't need you. We didn't win any prizes but had a good day.

    Well Liam, tell Mizuno they made the right choice keeping you on another year, I never would have even thought of trying the Mizuno's as I have always been Ping guy and getting older I need the forgiveness the Ping 425 Irons give.. so I chose those... but when I went for the Woods and Hybrids For some reason the 425 Driver and Hybrids did fit well... so based on your advice i tried the Mizuno Driver and Hybrids and crushed them... also simplified my bag... I have no gaps with my 56, Gap, PW, 9,8,7,6 & 5 G425's and my new Mizuno ST-Z 9.5 Driver and my Two Mizuno CLK Hybrids, 19 and 22 degree.. Love them... so now I have a Ping and Mizuno filled bag... who would of thought...

Also loved that this was Pete’s super round & you were able to be positive and happy for him while struggling with your own round. Cant stand it when a playing partner loses his sh*t over his bad round & ruins the mood of mine. 😂

  • @johnjutton103
    @johnjutton103 2 года назад

    Liam just some friendly Advice as I play links golf. Mayne try teeing the ball slightly lower and adjusting the driver half a degree lower on the driver and try and hit under the wind. If the wind is against or either side in links golf its brutal. Low drives are ideal on links golf and never be scared to putt off the green in links golf often fairways and fringes are good to try putts off or do what I do if you use your 4 wood to bump and run I use my hybrid a fair bit off green in links golf. But you did well links golf is never easy

    Liam, I felt like your backswing was faster and longer than when you are striking the ball better. I’m a lousy golfer by comparison, but I’ve learned that when I’m not hitting the ball well to slow and shorten my back swing. I give up a few yards but find more fairways and the center of the club again. Usually I can work my way back to my normal swing after a few center strikes. But remember you still need to finish your stroke and follow through.

The aim is to hold the teatowel there all the way through the swing. Its a great drill that has worked for me to be able to get inside and hit the ball at 5 oclock. Love your vids fellas.
