Thanks to everyone here watching! ❤
What a delight Iona is - her knowledge, appreciation and passion are fantastic. Love her delivery on screen.
You could easily become the biggest golf channel on youtube. Your presenting/interview skills are a level above, you're class at golf so have great insight, production is unreal and your passion for the game shines through. Keep it up - super enjoyable!
There's a big issue with that, she's not American.
@@MansAbout tell that to Rick Shiels mate 🤣
@@tommartin-hall3792 Made a tool of myself , feel like pure shite just want my comment back (if u know u know) but yeah I wasn't thinking and i'm subbed aswell 🙄

Seeing a course through the eyes of the groundskeeper is awesome. Helps to understand how a course is developed and maintained. Well done Iona and Bledges.
Production quality is top class, Iona’s authenticity and personality shines through. Love this channel.
I love seeing this from an employees perspective. Thanks for getting so many different folk on!
The quality of the film making and your journalistic skills makes this such an important golf channel... bravo!
LINKSMASTER!! Love it! So great to see these videos with the superintendents, shining some light on what we do! Well done Iona and James!!!
Easily one of the very best golf personalities on the planet. Such phenomenal content which is beautifully shot, insightful, and with a unique relaxed feel. Thank you 🙌🏻.
The most underrated golf channel on You Tube, you don't want the vlog to stop, Iona is an absolute charmer and I could watch her hit golf balls all day, the insights by Bledge were fascinating.
That was top notch. So fun to be playing with the "links master" for all the inside quirks and history. Beautiful views. And yes, the Labs just are the icing on the cake. 🙂. Really looking fwd to seeing more of your videos and great interview style whilst enjoying the golf. Cheers fr Nova Scotia!
Iona, as an ASGCA member and son of a golf course superintendent, I love that you hooked up with James Bledge here for this. The superintendents are the ones you want to find out things from. Great stuff. I'll be watchin for other future similar rounds.
Brilliant preview! Every hole presents a unique challenge. Your knowledge of and passion for the game knows no boundaries. Love how you paused to catch your breath on the 18th green. Lovely pictures of Bledge, you and the puppies.
I get so mesmerized listening to Iona talk about golf, the courses, the history of the game, and so forth, that it's really easy to forget what an outstanding golfer she is. She's out there casually doing things with her clubs that are simply amazing if you ever just focus on her game. I love this channel and am always excited when there's something new on it.
This is absolute golf asmr. I could watch Iona's swing all day. Effortless and smooth. Great content.
The ultimate golfer's guide. Quality 151st content from Iona and team. More please!
I'll probably never be able to play this course, so thank you Iona for bringing us along the player's journey. Her knowledge, passion, and joy of the game overflows. Respect to Bledge and team for all the hard work. I'll forever be more grateful whenever I play any course.
What an insightful video. Love James Bledge who is a master at his craft. Found his awesome content prior to a trip a couple years back to Royal Cinque Ports (aka Deal Club) where he used to be the course manager. Was blown away by that course and totally gave me a profound appreciation for all the work the greens keeping crews do. Was excited when I heard he moved to Hoylake to set up for the Open, so this video and Iona was awesome to watch.
Simply, thanks Iona, that was brilliant.
Wow!!!! You've only just started this channel and your presenting us with one of the best golf interviews I've ever seen. So did you call him course master. What an insight to how they plan, fairways where every shot is inviting you into trouble if you get it wrong, greens where flags can be put into spots that ask for nothing but the right approach. This shows how much work and preparation the course crew are doing to making it a course with lots of challenge You can hear you have a great voice which is calming and easy to listen to like a veteran golf presenter. Iona thank you for this one. Great stuff.
Great idea to do a video with the links manager. Send a headcover to me in the USA! Will have to add this course to my bucket list Scotland golf trip!
Wheeking it left. Love it Iona.
What a wonderful BTS video. Really cool to get insight as to how the course is set up for the pros. Great work Iona. Excited for the Open.
Genuinely fascinating to hear the input from the head greenkeeper on the course set-up, modifications and development.
Loved Bledges insight into bunker construction, sand raking, extending green surfaces and the environemental/eco friendly benefits of grinding the existing sand on the course…and he wasn’t too shabby with the clubs either!
Great 1st hand insight into the intricacies of the course for next week and potential pin positions….especially on 17
And not forget to the quality of the golf…and Bledges beautiful labradors!
Absolutely fabulous!
Oh…..and Iona was pretty fabulous too as always…but that almost goes without saying!
A great watch and Iona you are so easy to listen to with such a magnificent way with words
A great insight into the Open Championship course done in a professional and informal way.
I only wish is that the television executives would make her a permanent fixture in the commentary box! This woman is awesome to look at and I could listen to here all day long! Thanks Iona great video and playing too!🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful video, beautifully presented! Can’t wait to be there in a couple of weeks. 🙌🏻 also can’t wait for more videos on your channel.
Thank you for taking us around this amazing course!
Well, that 49 minutes just flew by! What an engaging (and beautiful) host Iona is. While providing insightful and interesting commentary with Bledge, Iona managed to put together an excellent round of golf. I could watch that elegant, simple swing all day! Great content. Thank you!
Great Video Belege your a star , great advert for us Greenkeepers
Great video - roll on the 20th July! Excellent input from Bledge, loved to hear the intricate work his team has put into prepping the course.
That video was truly amazing. Loved every minute of it. The course looks stunning. ❤❤
Fantastic video, Iona. Really interesting insights into the setup of a course for the open, but also the small bits of knowledge surrounding the course history and modifications that can be made. I loved it.
Cracking video, thanks for sharing! Great course, beautiful camera work, interesting golfing insight, this was calming viewing. Look forward to the next one.
Iona the Champion 🏴
Iona, you are a belter!
Great to get insights from the "Links Master". Very enjoyable and this will add to enjoyment when watching The Open once it starts. Well done & thank you
only 50 minutes ??? but incredibly wonderful --- yes I am pumped, wanting more than 4 rounds !!! ... Thankyou !!!
Exceptional - think this is my favourite all time YT video..
Can’t wait to watch The Open! Would love a headcover!
Just wanted to say I have never played any golf but I am absolutely fascinated by your channel Iona, you are a natural communicator and the rapport you build with every “guest” on your show is rare to see. Bravo and well played ✌️
How does this channel only have 35k subs! This is sky sports level production on RUclips!
Wonderful video. The commentary and conversation, the surroundings, and the videography were perfect. Thank You both.
This is absolutely fantastic....loved every second of this video, thank you!
Thanks Iona! A pleasure to follow you!
What an awesome experience.
Watching this with a smile on my face. What a joy.
Effortlessly classy production / video ..really top drawer..thanks Iona ( and Bledge )..subscribed!
Phenomenal insight. Thanks Iona & James!
Honestly some of the best golf content on this platform. Engaging and fantastic insight into the set up of the course and infrastructure. Can't wait for the next one.
Superb video Iona. Well produced, great visuals and a couple of dogs for good measure ❤
Great insight to the course and what beautiful dogs...❤
clicked for the dogs, stayed for the golf content
Such an interesting and insightful video. Gives a great perspective of an open venue
What a lovely video and some great insights into this beautiful course and the challenges the players will have.
My new favourite golf channel, keep em coming Iona, love it ❤
Terrific insight to this years venue.
Didn’t catch the head green keepers name, but he clearly loves his job and what a job he’s doing! Iona, I’ve only just started subscribing to your channel, following your game with Rick Sheils, which btw is his best episode. You are delivering a great channel. 👍👍👍
Iona, my Dad, sons, and I are coming from Washington State, USA to watch The Open. Please don't tell to many people about the 13th grandstand!! Hope to see you on Tuesday or Saturday!!
Class production as always and always great to hear Iona talk about golf as more than just a sport and the theatre of it all.
Found your Chanel last year as we prepared to attend The Open at St. Andrews. We then crossed paths with you twice on the Old Course.
Not crossing the pond this year but enjoy the insight with Bledge the Links Master!
Fantastic video Iona, the course looks in great condition and good to hear the insights from Bledge. Looking forward to being there on the Friday!
This was brilliant. Enjoyed it from start to finish. And I'd love one of those wooly head covers 😊
Great content on Hoylake, can't wait for the open now. Good work Iona 👏⛳️
Great insight to the up and coming open, well done so enjoyed watching this
Loving Iona’s work. New to RUclips, with brilliant content, insightful analysis, terrific golf and superb production. Deserves every success.
Thank you so much. This means a lot 🙏🏼
How do you get away with wearing a T shirt with all the people watching what happens if they go to Royal Liverpool dressed like that 🤷♂️ #etiquette
@@prorobbo9210at one point in time the same would have been said for not wearing a tie on the course.
Absolutely nothing lost in this fantastic video by wearing a T-shirt. Live and let live!
Great video, shows the open from a perspective we don’t normally see, the green keepers. Iona has one of the most relaxing voices to listen to… I’d put it up there with Attenborough and Alliss.
Keep up the great work
Privileged to have watched the last few majors at Royal Liverpool, but more privileged to have family living on the doorstep and walking the local area of West Kirby and Hoylake, the walks to Hilbre is a must on your next visit.😊
It was nice meeting you at the Clearview event. Heading to the Open next week. Sweet head cover!
Wish I could have been there with you Iona, and James of course!
Honestly one of the best youtube vids and probably golf features in general. Heard Bledge on various podcasts - super inspirational guy. The vibe of you two was so good. Also, mega playing.
Great informative video Iona. Really enjoyed it. Great sand shot on 17.
Love it! Brilliant insight, even better Labrador content 👏🏼
Thanks guys. Brilliant coverage. More please.
Awesome insight into championship course preparation
Chatted with you on Wednesday. I must say you were so lovely stopping for a pic and a chat. Love your commentary your knowledge is outstanding. Good luck with rest of the Open Iona x
Iona’s just the best at this. Flat out. 🍻
Great video and a really interesting insight from a new perspective! More Bledge content please
I love it when you do these before event rounds. And I can listen to your Scottish accent all day. I’m from the US, but I hope there is a European winner so that we can see you more often. ❤
Irish???
lol
Yep! My bad. I corrected my mistake. Good job catching that.
Iona, this is a great video and excellent input from the links master.
Great content, perfect build up to The Open, loved it!!
Wonderful work with Bledge. He's right, I would be camped at 17 for 4 days watching the wind play with their minds. Very nice content, Iona.
Brilliant video. Gutted I missed out on the ballot for tickets, but a great video to give me all of the feels!!
Iona, as usual never disappointed with your videos, your enthusiasm/knowledge and general joy in your voice is infectious, luv it, luv it. Keep them coming.
What a great golfer and person. Wish you all the success in the world Iona.
That was an absolute joy to watch. Thank you Iona. What a fabulous birdie to finish with as well. Please do more vids on the course for us, you are the best and you should have more subscribers than everyone. Keep it up!
Class vid , entering for the Hoylake headover 🇮🇪🇮🇪
