    I am literally speechless. This was one of the most amazing videos I have ever seen on RUclips. I was sucked in from the first second till the last. The history, the videography, the story and pride of the club. Unfortunately your good golf shots get overlooked by the amazing scenery. Well done, Andy! Huge respect.

      Getting course reviews right isn’t easy. The quality of footage and your commentary and inclusion of people from the clubs yiu cover adds real value. Their pride in the clubs sines through and for people who love to play other courses that’s the spirit of the clubs they want to learn about. Well done.

    @andygillespie2101 3 года назад

    Andy - top marks on producing this amazing video. I'm starting to get the golf bug back after more than 15 years away from the game and that has understandably led to me watching hundreds of YT golf videos over the last few months. Much as I like a lot of the channels and videos that cover gear reviews and playing tips (including your own), they can tend to get a bit 'same-y'. I love the variety and super-professional (but still down-to-earth) quality of the content you create, and when that involves filming your way around spectacular golf courses such as 'Old Prestwick' and Bruntsfield Links, then all the better, and definitely gets a huge thumbs up from me....... Well done !

  • @vinnieroarty7121

    Thank you Andy for this beautifully shot and narrated piece of work. It serves to remind us that we are mere custodians of our wonderful game and the current decision makers may well benefit from thinking what the forefathers would think? Change is not necessarily a bad thing, far from it, but just maybe things can be learned from the past.

    Andy,
    After watching this video I had to sit and let it sink in for a minute and the first word that came to my mind was Iconic! The Birth Place of "The Open Championship" which ranks as a tie with "The Masters" for my favorite tournament to watch each year as the venues for both are not tricked up with ankle to shin deep rough and baked out fairways and greens but are played as they would be any other day for any golfer! Juzt absolutely Loving these course vlogs sir!

    Andy, I criticised one of your videos a couple of years ago. You click baited PXG as the king of cast or something like that.
    Well now I am humbled by the quality of this video. I agree with most of the other comments on this thread. You are doing great things on RUclips. This is the best golf related video I have seen on this media. Congratulations at a very very must watch production. Just magical.

    • @TheAverageGolfer
      @TheAverageGolfer  3 года назад +1

      The irony is that in my opinion the 'clickbait' you refer to is just as, if not more prevalent in this title. The title of this should be 'The Elysian Fields' but if I were to have done that it would have received very little interest. Unfortunately, RUclips is driven by what you call clickbait but what I refer to as tabloid headlines, it is very sad but true reflection of how this 'game' works.
      In terms of this video, I am glad you have enjoyed it.
