I absolutely love how you played hole 5. Took your medicine and gave yourself a chance at par instead of hitting the highlight reel shot and it ultimately failing leading to double bogey or more. The more you improve, you’ll put those 55 yard shots closer to the pin and you’ll save par. Keep it up!
Fantastic mate. I prefer these than watching the pro’s. You’re a great golfer; serviceable and consistent - something I want in my game. Keep these coming.
Great golf video’s. Something about the simplicity, commentary, and course sounds are simply relaxing. I look forward to continue watching your journey. Keep it up.
As another 18 handicapper, this video feels so different from my usual rounds. I feel like we're getting there from such hilariously different approaches. Keep it up, and keep getting those scores down! I always get excited when I get through a nine without a blowup hole, getting through 18 is a treat.
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 They really, really do. My problem is I'll play really well on a bunch of holes but terrible on about as many. I play in a league with around 20 guys, I was tied for most birdies and one of the few with an eagle this year. I also had a 10, 11, and 12 while only one other person had a single hole with a score over 10 for the year. It feels so bad. But thanks for the great content! Your narration is well done, and it made for a good watch. I hope your channel blows up, as it's cool to follow!
I really enjoy your videos! I just got back into golf after 20 years. Seeing your vids, and the progress you’ve made, has inspired me to keep slogging along. Cheers and Happy New Years!
Really enjoy watching your videos, and know the struggles, as I’m a 19 handicapper, and play the same courses, look forward to your progress, keep up the good work….
dude you are killing it at the moment, playing within your own game pays big dividends. wish i could remember this on course. every time i get to 16 hcp i blow out hard for multiple rounds🤦♂️
Short sleeves in December, I need to come and play in Wales I think, another course that looks in awesome condition. Great Video James and that finish hold is next level 💪
It's really refreshing to watch your videos. And it's nice to see the approvement, more distance on your long shots, less miss hit's, better chipping and most important better putting. Happy New Year! That 2022 brings a lot of nice rounds to all of us.
This was a delight to watch and listen. Thank you. I don’t usually subscribe to new channels however I just did with yours. I look forward to seeing more. 👍😎🇦🇺
Particularly as a previous single digit handicap player who is frustrated that I’m now hitting off 12 your calm videos has given me a more relaxed approach, hence subscribing. 👍😎🇦🇺
James this was a great watch. I feel our games are similar but you rarely have a complete duff. Unlike me. Really enjoyed your course management and materr of fact style. Keep it up pal. Now Subscribed. 👏👍👏
Thanks for the video: I subscribe to quite a few golf channels and marvel/admire the predominantly low single figure golfers and enjoy their lessons. However, I'm taking a punt and suggesting that the percentage of golfers playing at that level would be miniscule. For mine, you're an inspiration to all us aspirationals 😄
Love your videos! Great posts, great honest commentary. This uncomplicates everything, just playing and enjoying the walk! Thanks for posting and looking forward to watching your progress. Happy 2022!
Well played, after the first two holes your putting was in gear, mostly very solid 2 putts. The first putt getting you to tap in distance most of the time. Avoiding triple bogeys is a must and minimise doubles to be beating 90. Congrats on the first birdie your slice/ fade is consistent which is why you can allow for it.
Your videos are very relaxing! I like how you go out and play your game, not trying to be a hero on every shot! I think that's the main reason your score is improving consistently! Keep up the good work mate! Cheers!
Groundhog day 🤣 brilliant comments and a very relaxing voice. Almost out of videos though. Will have to start at 28 hc again soon 😀 But no problem, I’m still at 51👍
Love these videos! Great progress in your game. I'm about where you are in this video, low 90's, mid to high 80's depending on a few putts. Keep up the great game and videos!
Very enjoyable watching you play, so nice to see some real golf. I'm off 23 hoping to get to below 20 soon. You seem to have a relaxed swing and your drives whilst left to right are very consistant. Keep it up. The courses you play look great too, must make a trip up there at some point. Thank for posting. 'Happy days'.
Great improvement all round. You had great putts that were very close to going in, super reading of the slopes. Fabulous to score 89. I bet if you played that course a few more times to become familiar, you'd be shooting mid to low 80's
I've seen a lot of improvement in your putting, and all around game. Those long putts that are coming just a few inches from falling are gut wrenching. But much better than sailing one past the cup. Good speed and distance. 👍I have to remember to hit the like button more.
Your putting and chipping are really on point! I just started golfing late summer last year so I still haven't had the chance to experience a full golf season. Best I've done so far is 95, but I'm looking to get a consistent sub 100 score this upcoming season. I love seeing videos like this because it shows what an average joe is doing on the course. It's fun to see a professional play on youtube but it's also nice to bring it back down to reality sometimes and see what others are scoring. Plus it gives a chance to see what other are struggling with and what we can all improve on.
Good job holding that finish. I’ve been really working on that. My balance and tempo can get all out of whack pretty easily so cutting out all other swing thoughts and just focusing on holding my finish has shown me good results.
Looks like a nice course and one I've wanted to play for a while. Well played and a solid front nine particularly - birdie, get in! Some of your chips were really good and set up good chances to hole a putt. As you said, not knowing the course affected a few shots, being stuck behind trees etc, but I bet if you played it again you'd be at least 4 shots better 👍
That was very cool to watch. I’m an 18 as well but tend to have 5/6 mis hits a round. I thought you were really consistent. Great short game and putting. A bit unlucky with some putts. Looking forward to the next post. Cheers.
I normally have 3 off the tee at least once a round plus a top here and there but on this day I didn't. My driver is not normally as consistent as this too. Uploads will be released 1pm every Friday on this channel for now. Thanks for watching!
Happy New Year 2022, James !! A great video again, i like the concept of your videos. I hope i could play golf now, but we hav a meter of snow, and -8 dgr celsius. Playing golf her in west of Finland hopefully in end of Apr.
I just found your channel and to sub, watched all the videos! Great Shot! Getting Better and Better with each video.. Fantastic lag putts on this course! You got a slice off the tee like me. Embrace it! Keep it up!
Wow, that took alot of editing. Ive tried making a couple of these videos, but adding the tracer line via the free app, along with adding the info on each hole and your score. Its a lot. This was well made, and you got a consistent swing. I wouldnt change much since clearly your are comfortable with it!
Nice to watch someone that’s not a scratch player, your putter seems solid and I think the main issue is the ‘winter greens’ you hold good pace and momentum! When I play new courses I like to experiment a little but that’s my personal style and also what tracker do you use ? Looking at one myself but overall good content mate
Nice video. I am impressed that you are pretty good out of the traps, which plagues a lot of people with your handicap. Work on the slice and you will see your handicap go down a lot!
Hi James. Love your videos may I suggest tightening your putting grip. Will give you more control. However, if your current style works for you, keep it. Thanks
Keep going bro. Ignore the amateur coaches in the comments and HOLD THAT FINISH FOREVER. LIKE A BAAUSSSS
Will do Mr Playa!!! :-)

Golf Sidekick!
Solid round James with some great, sensible course management. Well on the way to becoming a really tidy player. Thanks for posting.
This is just a delight. Honest golf and commentary - no hype, no frills. Your consistency is admirable. So pleased I have subscribed.
I don't play golf but enjoy watching your vids, esp the honesty shown and improvement.
I absolutely love how you played hole 5. Took your medicine and gave yourself a chance at par instead of hitting the highlight reel shot and it ultimately failing leading to double bogey or more. The more you improve, you’ll put those 55 yard shots closer to the pin and you’ll save par. Keep it up!
the fact you’ve gone down 9 shots in such a short amount of time is great mate, love the improvement. keep it up 👍🏼
It's like living the highs and lows of 18 holes of golf without leaving your house.
Love this
Fantastic mate. I prefer these than watching the pro’s. You’re a great golfer; serviceable and consistent - something I want in my game.
Keep these coming.
I can't watch the pro's too it's like they're aliens playing a different game! Thanks for watching :-)
Another great video showing excellent course management, short game and putting successes. Getting better every round
My new favourite channel. I find myself leaning in my seat trying to steer the ball like it's my own drive! Hope you continue to enjoy your golf.
Cheers Malcolm, as long as I'm fit and healthy I'll be pumping out the golf vids! Thanks for watching
Congrats on breaking 90, James! Can't wait for the next one and all the best in the new year!
Great golf video’s. Something about the simplicity, commentary, and course sounds are simply relaxing. I look forward to continue watching your journey. Keep it up.

Love the positive attitude throughout the round, we could all use some more of that when the going gets tough 😅. Great video!
Cracking play around the greens here mate. Love it!! 🏌🏻♂️
Nice round of golf James. Thanks for sharing it with us .
new to golf myself, I think I can learn something from your course management thanks for the upload brother.
I really enjoy your videos! I just got back into golf after 20 years. Seeing your vids, and the progress you’ve made, has inspired me to keep slogging along. Cheers and Happy New Years!
Really enjoy watching your videos, and know the struggles, as I’m a 19 handicapper, and play the same courses, look forward to your progress, keep up the good work….
You forget how much more enjoyable golf is in summer conditions. Game is steady for how long you have been playing. Good luck with the work.
James! Love to see your handicap keep going down, while also enjoying the game! Keep up the good work!
dude you are killing it at the moment, playing within your own game pays big dividends.
wish i could remember this on course.
every time i get to 16 hcp i blow out hard for multiple rounds🤦♂️
Love the channel. Just started playing golf last week and love your progress.
I love your easy to watch videos , keep up the great work, love your sign off line. Crazy good lag putting and chipping in this round.
Nice to see a genuine golf vlog!
The thing I like about these videos is that reliable fade. I love it!
Comes back every time like clockwork! Thanks for watching :-)
So refreshing finding these type of channels, you got a follow from me!
I'd be proud of this round. Good show.
I've never seen your channel before, but im already fist pumping after that putt dropped on 8! love it mate, subbed
Cheers Oliver, thanks for watching :-)
Brilliant James, well done. Really enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work
Short sleeves in December, I need to come and play in Wales I think, another course that looks in awesome condition. Great Video James and that finish hold is next level 💪
Great score and well played. Some solid shots you played like your approach to 18. 👍
Great video, very inspiring for a new golfer like myself keep at it!

great video! I'm a 23 handicapper looking to get down to 18 this year. broke 90 for first time (86) just before xmas was so so happy. I LOVE GOLF
It's great to set a goal and then smash it like you did. Thanks for watching and good luck to you on the fairways for 2022! :)

One of the reasons I started the channel was the lack of genuine mid to high handicapper content to watch. Thanks for watching.
Love your videos! Great posts, great honest commentary. This uncomplicates everything, just playing and enjoying the walk! Thanks for posting and looking forward to watching your progress. Happy 2022!
Good round James.congratulations on breaking 90!
I was surprised as the back 9 was a struggle. Keeping the triple bogeys + off the card helps so much! Thanks for watching :-)

I choose to lay up sometimes instead of going for a miracle shot such as on the 16th. I learnt the hard way! haha! Thanks for watching :-)
Groundhog day 🤣 brilliant comments and a very relaxing voice. Almost out of videos though. Will have to start at 28 hc again soon 😀 But no problem, I’m still at 51👍
Moves it around pretty well, nicely done
Great round. Just found your channel watched the 27 handicapper one then straight to this. Bloody marvellous the difference.
Enjoyed your round James. Natural commentary. Very similar game to me, so it's nice to see how to improve from 100 to 90.
Subscribed.

Will do thanks for watching robert! :)
Great round mate!! Great watch.. I can learn a lot from the way you approach golf.
Great improvement all round. You had great putts that were very close to going in, super reading of the slopes. Fabulous to score 89. I bet if you played that course a few more times to become familiar, you'd be shooting mid to low 80's

Congrats from Brittany, James! Good strategy -> you broke 90 ! 👍
Ive recently picked up golf and love these vids. Keep it up!
Another solid round!
I'm wishing you all the best for 2022
Happy new year!
Really enjoying the videos. The improvements are brilliant to see.
Some really fine chipping in this one!
So close to getting birdie on that last par 5. Solid round!
0:18 when I hit a shot like that my buddies say it's a slice but when Tiger hits a shot like that it's a stroke of genius
keep going! love the video mate!

Love this channel your getting better every round.
This is golf ASMR. So soothing.
great golfing James and very impressive short game on this round
Your strike is extremely consistent. If I filmed my round I'd be crying with the inconsistency
I usually play twice a week plus a trip to the range. This helps a lot with the ball striking as I don't lose my swing. Thanks for watching :-)
Great putting speed

Cheers, I use Shot Tracer Pro for the tracker. Thanks for watching :-)
Massive fan of the way you use the ‘half swing’ method. Although you have to club up, there’s far more control over the club face. 👍🏻
Nice video. I am impressed that you are pretty good out of the traps, which plagues a lot of people with your handicap. Work on the slice and you will see your handicap go down a lot!
Well played man. Constant improvement.
Dude you are really consistent with your drive shape!
Great round!! Love Northop I play there when I can now and travel from Anglesey
I wasn't expecting much as some of the reviews weren't the best but was pleasantly surprised. Superb greens on this day! Thanks for watching :-)
Love all your videos James.
Real golf. Would love to know what you are using for shot tracer.
'Shot Tracer Pro' app. Thanks for watching! :-)
That approach shot on hole 8 was awesome!
It was a really nice lie and yardage for my PW. I just knew it would be close even before hitting the shot! Thanks for watching :-)
That was a great job avoiding any triple bogeys, hole 11 was an adventure!
Yeah, I took the long way round on hole 11! :-)
Great stuff man! Putting was really good today in general!
Love this channel! I’m wondering though, what’s in the bag? What do you play with?
WITB coming later this month !
Hi James. Love your videos may I suggest tightening your putting grip. Will give you more control. However, if your current style works for you, keep it. Thanks
Great round, I getting back into golf and I like how you play smart. I would do so much better if I played smart like you.
