Thank you for watching todays video. I am really enjoying making these videos for you as I recover from injury. Please subscribe and tell your friends and let’s build a real community here on Big Oggie Golf and my other channel BIG OGGIE WORLD
Thank you so much Dave. Golf is a very very hard sport and can be incredibly frustrating to may people, so I tend to just enjoy it as much as I can. If I wasn’t enjoying it I certainly wouldn’t do it… golf has to be fun in my book.
Thank you so much. I’m trying to pace myself and taking things easy in between filming sessions but it is difficult because I just want to keep on going I keep creating more work and hopefully getting some success ha ha at least one day.
Thank you so much for your kindness. I think that course management is becoming an important part of my game especially as I don’t hit the ball along way like some of the big boys do
Yups "it's only a ball and a stick" ... but we all love it, that's why it sometimes hurts 🤣😉 when things don't go to plan. Nice easy round John. Well done. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Hi John, great score of 88, I would be happy with that for sure👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This was a really good and interesting video so many thanks for the effort you put into it. I’ve watched both videos, front and back 9 and it was very enjoyable.
Thank you CHRIS. It’s well known to people who have watched my channel for sometime that pattern is my forte I guess. It has saved me many times before I will continue to do so I hope
Thank you so much Ken. To be honest I am loving doing the solo Vlogs. They give me time to think and allow me to pace myself whilst not worrying about everybody else at the same time.
Good morning David and thank you once again for all the support that you give. Yes I just need to get fitter and healthier I think over the winter and take things steady and who knows the future maybe brighter.
Hi there my friend and thank you so much for subscribing. I think my game is starting to happen and I was really pleased in the end and on a strange way it felt a bit weird to actually feel a little disappointed that I left a few shots out there… hey I enjoy the game no matter how well I play though. It’s all about the Craic for me x
Breaking 90 John!! Can’t go wrong with that what so ever!! Awesome round, thoroughly enjoyed post parts of round! Keep smashing it! But don’t forget to take rest days, give your injuries a chance to heal! Hopefully see you one day down at Holywell Bay GC! Well done again oggie!
Hi there Dean. We love Holywell Bay and I’ll film that quite often. Must have to go there again again soon. Thank you so much for your support and please keep spreading the word about the channel.
Great video John. For a high handicapper, you made that 87 look very easy, with no drama. You hit it very consistently and straight, your short game is pretty good, but your putting is very good, I just don't see you missing from inside 4 feet. I think these days you're more like a 17 handicap.
Thank you so much Mark. I will say that Neal and I played at Dartmouth on Thursday as part of Lee Whittaker’s charity day and we both got beaten up by that course. One of those days when little goes right… so it’s not all plane sailing yet… lots to work on
Really solid again John, these scores you are putting together are very solid! I play off 17.5 and am shooting similar scores!!keep it going my friend, it can only get better
Being injured may help you John because it stops you being adventurous. I think you putting is fantastic - you seldom 3 putt. Does anyone expect to get long putts in? The US PGA tour pros on average only get 50% from 8 feet! Nice video!
Hi there David I think that you may well be right and at my level it’s all about keeping in play and not doing anything too stupid. I guess when your handicap gets lower then use you need more distance to deal with less shots.
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF yes I think that’s right but you have skilfully demonstrated that good scores are possible without hitting the ball a long way. How long does it take to film 18 holes? All day?
Well done oggie no shame there, your soon be wearing a sombrero and drinking tequila you old bandit ps I got a chinchilla to sell if your interested lol 😆
Ha ha I think we will stick to trying to find a rabbit. I do believe that chinchillas are nocturnal and as I only already sleep for 25 hours a day that I really can’t afford to be at the rest of the night as well ha ha
I use a Panasonic HCX 2000E camcorder… it has a small sensor but that makes it perfect for what I am doing. It can zoom for serious distance and doesn’t really go out of focus. I have put Amazon links for all my equipment in my descriptions but may do a video about what I use too.
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF I’ve been using the Sony zve10 camera but I get issues with it trying to focus in and out on the moving sky. I was recommended the Sony camcorder but I’ll check yours out as well. I need a simple point and shoot
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF love to see a video about how you film a round. The settings on the camera, editing etc. I’m considering that hcx2000 as I feel the build in filters will help in the sun? Do you have it on auto focus?
Hi there Jon, I rarely am able to post an official score if i play solo but sometimes i do actually have someone with me, like Neal, who isn't playing or wishing to be in front of camera, but helps out or simply wants to watch and enjoy the day. (Neal hasn't been fit enough to play until actually later this week after a bought of covid and recovery after, but has still wanted to be involved)
I must admit David that some scores recently have kind of surprise me and I didn’t realise I was actually this good at times. I guess a year ago we will be thinking high 90s on a really good day and usually around 100. But it just goes to show that some work and practice and in my case some concentration about what I’m doing I’m not having to think about everybody else instead of me actually helps.

The course is beautiful and I loved staying there at the charity days xx
Yes we really must try and do an overnight stay here and who knows maybe we can make a video to. I will speak to the management
Very impressive, not just the golf but your attitude is brilliant.
Thank you so much Dave. Golf is a very very hard sport and can be incredibly frustrating to may people, so I tend to just enjoy it as much as I can. If I wasn’t enjoying it I certainly wouldn’t do it… golf has to be fun in my book.
Great course. One on my bucket list of Cornwall x
It’s certainly well worth coming to visit and having a go on. One of the best in Cornwall in my opinion
Will watch later, looking forward to it especially after the front 9
I hope that you enjoyed what you saw my friend.
Great round Oggie. Well done. Give those injuries time xx
Thank you so much. I’m trying to pace myself and taking things easy in between filming sessions but it is difficult because I just want to keep on going I keep creating more work and hopefully getting some success ha ha at least one day.
You played such a good game again Big O. Great course management
Thank you so much for your kindness. I think that course management is becoming an important part of my game especially as I don’t hit the ball along way like some of the big boys do
Really well played again Oggie. such a great course
Thank you so much for your support yes it really is a beautiful place to go and play golf and actually stay as well.
Well played John, 88 is great score after your injuries and your handicap! And around that course those last 3 holes can ruin any score card!!!!
Yups "it's only a ball and a stick" ... but we all love it, that's why it sometimes hurts 🤣😉 when things don't go to plan. Nice easy round John. Well done. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Thank you so much my friend. I hope that you are well and enjoying life.
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF life is good 🙏🏻 just did a 18h round 2day and following the process that I've set for myself and slowly things are paying off. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
loved it playing good stuff stay safe and well
Hi there Mick. Thanks for watching my friend

Definitely one of my good days on a golf course my friend x
Your putting is impressive, well done 👍

Your game is really coming on my friend.

Well played, John.
Thank you my friend x
Well played John., your course management along with your overall game is much improved.
Hope the injuries improve soon.
Stay safe and thanks
Good morning David and thank you once again for all the support that you give. Yes I just need to get fitter and healthier I think over the winter and take things steady and who knows the future maybe brighter.
Well played John!
Your lag putting is probably saving you 4-5 shots per round.
Very solid mate
Thank you Alan. Some people have said k should be putting pastthe hole every time but this just seems to be the way that works for me.
Well played John, a very good round, such an improvement over the last year.
Thank you my friend I like to think I am slowly getting there x
Nice video 📹 , plenty of good shots and puts 👌, 88 a good round ,I've only managed a 90 at 20 handicap, keep that up John 😊👍
Thank you so much David. I think I am having a good run right now… not sure for how long but I am going to enjoy it while it lasts lol
love watching lanhydrock videos
Thank you for watching my friend x
New subscriber here John, 87 round that track is not to be sniffed at. Well played squire.

excellent score Oggie, very well played.
Thank you Nick. Long may my rehabilitation continue and one day I might even be a vaguely average golfer ha ha.
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF that score would have definitely beaten me most times at Lanhydrock
Well played mr oggie🎉🎉🎉

Breaking 85 not far away! Keep grinding
Thank you for your support. It’s early days yet but I will keep on going
Very steady John. Very timely vlogs. I am playing there next week with Dan H and Lester. So have gathered some good course knowledge 👌👌
It’s a good course but can be tight so just think before you hit ok
Cheers John will do 👍👍
Are you there filming or something else?
Filming as part of winning the order of merit on the bus tour
Really solid again John, these scores you are putting together are very solid! I play off 17.5 and am shooting similar scores!!keep it going my friend, it can only get better
Thank you for your kindness my friend. Part of my problem is I do rush a bit too much and can slip in my concentration at times x
Good video John I would be happy with a 85 around there, beautiful course where will you be next?
No plans this week my friend but am taking part in Lee Whittaker’s golf event (see today video)
Doubt your still off 28 john well played sir
Hi there Lou. Yes you are right and I am currently just over 24.
Being injured may help you John because it stops you being adventurous. I think you putting is fantastic - you seldom 3 putt. Does anyone expect to get long putts in? The US PGA tour pros on average only get 50% from 8 feet!

i think you're doing fantastic john what with the camera to worry about and other golfers, as well as your injuries you're doing bloody well indeed.
Thank you my friend. People who have never done golf course filming have no real idea of how complex it can be lol. I do love the challenge though x
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF i do hope one day to meet you and even have a round with you, my father in-law lives near Redruth so will be down there at some point
I am sure that can be arranged x email me at bigoggiegolf@gmail.com
I ended up in that bunker that you managed to avoid. I can confirm it wasn’t fun to get out of
I think my plan will be to never forget where it is and avoid it at all costs lol
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF I didn’t even notice the huge pot bunker on 9 until I was on the 18th green, that could have been horrific too!
Oh yes that one is a classic lol. A couple of years ago they had one on there that was like a beach but I think they changed it around now.
Well played again John what's your handicap now mate
Down to just over 24 at the moment my friend x
Well done oggie no shame there, your soon be wearing a sombrero and drinking tequila you old bandit ps I got a chinchilla to sell if your interested lol 😆
Ha ha I think we will stick to trying to find a rabbit. I do believe that chinchillas are nocturnal and as I only already sleep for 25 hours a day that I really can’t afford to be at the rest of the night as well ha ha
When are we getting merch?!
Something I am thinking about but who would want any lol
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF me
Are you using a Sony fdr ax camcorder? The quality looks great
I use a Panasonic HCX 2000E camcorder… it has a small sensor but that makes it perfect for what I am doing. It can zoom for serious distance and doesn’t really go out of focus. I have put Amazon links for all my equipment in my descriptions but may do a video about what I use too.

I tend to like Panasonic and had a smaller one before this which was still very good. In fact we still have it as a second camera when we can use one.
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF yours is a very expensive option. My channels too small to warrant that just yet
@@BIGOGGIEGOLF love to see a video about how you film a round. The settings on the camera, editing etc. I’m considering that hcx2000 as I feel the build in filters will help in the sun? Do you have it on auto focus?
You say your handicap has come down. How was your scorecard signed and verified for handicap purposes as it was a solo round ?
Hi there Jon, I rarely am able to post an official score if i play solo but sometimes i do actually have someone with me, like Neal, who isn't playing or wishing to be in front of camera, but helps out or simply wants to watch and enjoy the day. (Neal hasn't been fit enough to play until actually later this week after a bought of covid and recovery after, but has still wanted to be involved)
Are you turning into a bandido John? Doubt you're a 28 these days. 87 with "injuries"! What would you have scored a year or two ago? Well played sir
I must admit David that some scores recently have kind of surprise me and I didn’t realise I was actually this good at times. I guess a year ago we will be thinking high 90s on a really good day and usually around 100.

28 handicap my arse 😂 what a bandit well played Oggie great score on a tough course 🏌🏻♂️🏌️🏌🏻♂️🏌️
Hi there James, the handicap is starting to fall a little lol
