Part 1 coming today at 4pm UK time. Ever so slight 6500 miles apart both of us away from the computer, real life getting in the way moment. ruclips.net/video/Tn3fLt4Zz4o/видео.html
Thanks TD. Shame the camera went a bit wrong. Not sure if it was cooked or I had the wrong auto focus setting. It wont be the last time that happens I'm sure.
I had the pleasure of playing here yesterday , the weather was biblical … an absolutely stunning course though … like nothing I have played , this was my first links experience. I’m still buzzing from it all even though my score wasn’t great . Great content mate ✌🏻
I've just come back from Tenby Chris. I played Trefloyne on the one decent day we had. Biblical is the right word this past week! A few blind shots, one or two awkward tee shots that need to be learned. I'd call it a 3rd round golf course. Takes a couple to learn the layout, then you can go out on a calm day and shoot your handicap. Bunkers are fun too. I played it burned out and you played it green. I saw that the rough was up too when we walked the path through the course to the beach. You had it hard, seriously hard. Cheers
@@thehairygolfer I’m so glad you have said all this … I found it a mighty tough outing ! Strokres that would usually be safe ended up in all manner of bad positions… I had watched this video a few times beforehand but nothing quite prepared me for the realities 😂 a green side bunker on 5 took a good few times to get out of 🤦🏻♂️ the rough was massively unforgiving . I will definitely return for sure , a superb course and great fun . Keep up the good work mate , I do enjoy all your content … I holiday in Cardigan also and am tempted to have a go over there after seeing your effort , another one with stunning scenery ✌🏻
@@chrisgosden593 Because I film I can't go out in the wind. Blows the gear over so everything you see is done in at least decent conditions if not ideal. I'm trying to remember Tenby. 3rd tee shot is a swine. 4 is blind. 5 doesn't have a good view. 9 is hellish. Then there is a par 3 with the big drop to the right. You have to play it without wind to stand a chance. First time I played I missed that par 3 to the right and I was down there for some time. Without the wind you can plan ahead, see the bunkers, avoid them and you will come in with a score. Cardigan is good. Wider, more friendly course to play for the first time. A couple of uphill par 3's are awkward to club. The downhill hole 13 or 14 is a brute with a sidewind. Again I got lucky that day, all the flags were on the lower level of the greens. Put them on the back shelf and I would of struggled. Again, pick a day with single digits mph wind and enjoy the views. Cheers
@@thehairygolferthanks for all of this and taking the time to reply , appreciate your input a great deal , might try and persuade the wife to hit cardigan with me .. the nice hotel has a spa 😂
@@chrisgosden593 Oh ideal. Tell her you booked it for her and then last second let slip there is a golf course nearby. I get 2 days off out of 14 to go play. But with the weather that wild my second trip I just went to the range instead. It seemed pointless playing when my game is fragile. It would not hold up to the wind. I reply, seems the polite thing to do for someone else who made the effort to watch a video. Thanks.
The course clearly was particularly dry - just like my own club by the sea. This summer has made the bounces particularly cruel but at least the rough is not as lush as usual. Great scenery and a beautiful area - Tenby looks worth a visit!
Part 1 is out tomorrow - slight 6500 mile cock up between us LOL The front 9 at Tenby is much bumpier than the back 9. Much more entertaining to play golf on. I'm curious to see what GS has done to the video I sent him. No rough, no wind was a perfcet opportunity for me. I played it 20 years ago and it took me to the cleaners.
What a gem of a course! Wow, the ocean views are really nice and love the layout. Links golf is very difficult especially those holes were you can't see the fairways or greens. I played a really good one in Alabama. There wasn't any water, just loads of hills and some extra tall ruff in some areas. I can't tell you how many balls I must have lost. Very nice bird out there and what a shot out of that pot bunker. Looking forward to seeing you over there on Sidekicks channel Simon!
We had a slight 6500 mile scheduling cock up! The course played easy, burnt out rough and no wind. I'm no fool! I played there 20 years ago and it had me for breakfast! Some deep stuff and those bunkers. I talk about the bunkers on the front 9. Although I don't know how much of my chatter GS will cut out. I'm curious to see what he does. That bird was a surprise, I couldn't read those greens at all but made most of the short ones. Blind holes can be pain if you hit it off line, you don't see it land in the tall stuff and you lose your ball. That's why I played it on a windless day. Was nice to hear kids playing on the beach.
So burnt out. It's moew fun when it's green and a bit of wind blowing. I'm useless in the wind and it would kill me. Nice to hear kids playing on the beach.
All this golf in the Principality, Simon. An honorary Welsh man yet??. Nice to see you having good weather. Last time I played there, the rain was horizontal off the beach.😫
I've been going to Wales since I was in a carry cot. Even spoke my first words there. Yeah, I played it 20 years ago, the weather was good except some wind and I didn't have the skill level for it. Ate me for breakfast. Nice to be able to hear the kids playing on the beach. At some point I have to visit The Gower. 5 courses there I have never seen. I think one of them is a tad expensive. Got to be done David. Sadly there aren't too many courses up north but will get there too. I haven't played Betws y coed in decades. I remember seeing the river full of balls on one hole.
You've have got some nice, and different layout courses available in Gower Simon. Clyne, Fairwood,Langland Bay & Pennard to name a few. Our group did a tour of North Wales a few years ago playing Holyhead, Nefyn, Royal St Davids and Porthmadog(and there's plenty more in this area). All were worth the experience, and within an hours drive of the previous course, if that makes sense. Maybe worth you considering!.
@@davidelias2879 I think when i go to The Gower I'll find a caravan to stay in for a week and play them all. I just need to find the money! I do have to go up north again if only to go to the train shop in Betws y coed. So much to do and so little time David.
Another great looking golf course , the course must have been rock hard , great up and down on the par 3 , again must be hard playing a course for the first time especially when it's links Royal North Devon has plenty of blind holes and you have to give it a wallop to clear all the cabbage off the tee , it was one of my first rounds of golf suffice to say I ran out of ammo
I played it 20 years ago and remembered most of it. It was rock hard but no rough to worry about. In a way it was a gift. Plus I picked a day with no wind. In normal conditions I would have been crushed. Royal North Devon will be visited one day. Next year perhaps.
Aim small, miss small indeed!!! Well done, 76 around there is a good score (although I can't view the front 9 on Golf Sidekick, as yet as, although I can see the picture it is dimmed and there is an overlay of a white rectangle with 3 bars on it, blocking it out)!!! You do need an abundance of patience, and a focus on where a good leave is around courses like that. Well out of that bunker on 14 or 15, especially as I know that you don't carry a lob wedge, making it even harder to get out when you are trapped under the lip!!!! All in all, nice golf, lovely weather and a bit of soft focus too!!! What's not to like!!!!
Slight 6500 mile cockup. Should be on tomorrow. I have played the course before and remembered most of it. With mostly burnt out rough and no wind it was there for the taking. If I had shot over handicap I would have needed shooting really. The sand was great but loads of rabbit footprints and golfer footprints!
@@thehairygolfer the rabbit footprints are excusable, golfer's footprints less so!!! Being summer, the bounce, and the lack of wind takes the course's defence away, but it still needs playing, and you still need to be the right side of the hole (as you weren't on 16!!!!) to score, so playing to your handicap is good! It just goes to prove how adaptable you are as a golfer, because I know that, when I play a parkland, the ball doesn't react in the way that I would expect it to if I was playing at Gosport!!!!
@@nevillehubbard7347 Sadly a lot of visitors to the course who were not bothered. I think I could have raked half the greenside bunkers. It's the same at Lilleybrook sadly. Saw a set of footprints in and out of a bunker plus the strike mark and the bloody rake was 6 feet away! To add to the 12 pitch marks I fixed. I have had a very long purple patch since the middle of June. Shooting from 3 to 10 over. Or 2 under to 5 over my handicap. I've got some problems to fix now. Lilleybrook is real tight in places so to play away everything looks really wide and easy. Confidence soars. It's as simple as that. With links I feel fine upto a 7 iron, above that I'm not sure what the green will do so then I am a little lost. I'd take a soft course over a hard course any day of the week.
@@thehairygolfer yes, we have a few of them too, but the men members blame the Ladies and/or the Seniors (probably true, sadly). At least with the soft sand that we have in our bunkers, footprints are less of a problem as they tend to fall in on themselves, but it seems to be a problem across the amateur game. People are too lazy to clear up after themselves. As for pitch marks, 4 months of the year, no problem - the greens are so firm it's impossible to make a pitch mark. The rest of the year, pitch marks everywhere because people are to lazy to clear up after themselves (there's a theme developing here!!!). I'm pleased that you have been playing so well this summer. That sure helps!!! But, as you say, gremlins creep in, however well you are playing, but that is golf! I'm sure that a quick lesson will get you back shooting your handicap again! I, successfully hit 50 balls at the driving range this morning and was still able to walk back to the car!!!!!! All my irons go further now than when I was perched with my weight on one leg, so I've started to redo my distances. The trouble is that, with range balls, who knows how far I'll really hit them (I've added 10% but????). So I'm on the mend and hope to play 9 holes in a fortnight's time, so I'm on course for the last week in September!. As for wide open spaces, I can promise you them on some of the holes down here! A couple of double, almost treble fairways, but that sets its own exam paper. If you have 150 yards to aim for, just where do you aim it??? It's an interesting problem to have and certainly has confused a number of our new members who have come from parkland clubs!
I agree the scenic view are nice!! I think with blindshots if you know where to aim they might not be so bad. The course looks like a fun course and you played rather well!! I agree with Chilli Dippa since it hasn't rained much the rough is not as much of a penalty as usual!! Really nice round!!🏌♀😀
Lack of rough and no wind, run on my tee shot, it played easier than it did on my first visit years ago. Plus I had some memory of the holes and the blind shots. I think the front 9 is the better 9. But I enjoy 17 and 18. It's a fun course, you get some views of the sea and Caldy Island and you can hear kids playing.
@@thehairygolfer I think those two things are a links golf courses main defense you take it away and you can see some decent scores. But like you said you still have to think a bit like hitting shots in front of the greens and letting them roll up. For most golfers who play parkland style this is totally different mindset!! Will you be playing more links courses in the future?
@@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore I play a little links from time to time. At the moment my focus is on finding old courses which are affordable. I don't go to the big expensive places, but maybe next year I will try and play more links courses. I also try to go places other people haven't been to. As to rolling it up I'm not very good at that, I've played soft parkland far too often. I think my mistake is landing just short instead of a long way short. Just short means through the back. You do need more imagination for links. Not always sure I've got it myself!
@@thehairygolfer I think that's cool that you are trying to find the less expensive courses!! I subbed your channel looking forward to all the cool courses you will feature!!😀
@@ZaxDrumsGolfandMore The next full round I play is a mile and a 1/4 from Tenby inland. I don't have any full rounds for a while after that. I'm finding it hard to get on my own course at the moment and I have 2 videos to do on that. Time after work now isn't enough for a full round either. I've got a couple more away days before we turn into autumn. Then a hard winter where recoding golf becomes more difficult. Thanks for the sub.
I've been going there for 57 years (off and on) and even spoke my first words there. Yeah, I like it. It has certainly helped no end thanks to Matts generosity.
@@thehairygolfer The more settings there are the more can go wrong in my case. I need click and shoot as much as possible. Looking forward to your next. 🤙🏻😎🤘🏻

@@robertmarshall8533 A classic like that will be fun. You just spend all day looking around and drinking it in. Spotting those little design quirks like little runs into nasty bunkers. Shoulders of bunkers getting in the way of your putt. There may well be a skill with a bulldozer and a new course but not as good as the skill of picking an exact spot for a green and doing as little as possible to disturb the landscape. Making it look like it has been there a thousand years.
Great course Simon, you look the part with a GS shirt, a good score as the course isn't easy , so how did you fix the push right drives? i'm playing terrible (too many doubles), i notice your 10ft and under putts are solid.
I had to wear my favourite shirt for this one. The course did play easy. Burnt out rough and no wind. I played it 20 years ago and got eaten alive! Most of the tidy up putts were pretty good. Needed to be. I haven't fixed the loss to the right. I have a fair idea, I just need to practice I haven't been to therange in ages. Last competition I scored only 31 points then the following day same tees and same flags managed 35. Not bad rounds but I need to fix it.
You're right. I just looked and it's no longer there. Shame. The course will obviously play a lot different to last years burnt out summer. Possibly easier as your ball wont run so much. I'd say the hardest tee shot you face is the 3rd, some very big hollows if you drive it too far. 9th isn't an easy drive either. The other holes are reasonable straight forward. Good luck.
the link for the front nine does not show?? please check I have checked the Sidekick videos, but none have Tenby in the address. Could you tell me the link address for Sidekick At least yours state it is Tenby back nine
Sorry. We had a little scheduling and life gets in the way cock up. It's out today. I was away from the computer so couldn't change my date. I will post the url as soon as I know it. If this was work I would be fired! LOL

I'm playing st annes old links on Monday so hopefully I remember some of your advice 😁
The best advice I can give you is play when it's not windy. Do a bit of google earth and see where the bunkers are. And enjoy it. Should be fun.
@@thehairygolfer bit late for that lol were already entered its an open 4bbb
Forecast isn't great but I'm sure we'll have fun
@@robertmarshall8533 A classic like that will be fun. You just spend all day looking around and drinking it in. Spotting those little design quirks like little runs into nasty bunkers. Shoulders of bunkers getting in the way of your putt.
There may well be a skill with a bulldozer and a new course but not as good as the skill of picking an exact spot for a green and doing as little as possible to disturb the landscape. Making it look like it has been there a thousand years.
Great course Simon, you look the part with a GS shirt, a good score as the course isn't easy , so how did you fix the push right drives? i'm playing terrible (too many doubles), i notice your 10ft and under putts are solid.
I had to wear my favourite shirt for this one. The course did play easy. Burnt out rough and no wind. I played it 20 years ago and got eaten alive! Most of the tidy up putts were pretty good. Needed to be.
I haven't fixed the loss to the right. I have a fair idea, I just need to practice I haven't been to therange in ages. Last competition I scored only 31 points then the following day same tees and same flags managed 35. Not bad rounds but I need to fix it.
Any sign of part 1? Either I missed it on GS or it's not gone up. I'm playing this course on Monday and want to try and get to know it a bit!
You're right. I just looked and it's no longer there. Shame. The course will obviously play a lot different to last years burnt out summer. Possibly easier as your ball wont run so much. I'd say the hardest tee shot you face is the 3rd, some very big hollows if you drive it too far. 9th isn't an easy drive either. The other holes are reasonable straight forward.
Good luck.
I would love to play a round with you sir.
Yours is the game I aspire to.
Many years in the making and lots of mistakes along the way. Now I can't hit the ball far enough to lose it! That helps. Cheers
the link for the front nine does not show?? please check I have checked the Sidekick videos, but none have Tenby in the address.
Could you tell me the link address for Sidekick
At least yours state it is Tenby back nine
Sorry. We had a little scheduling and life gets in the way cock up. It's out today. I was away from the computer so couldn't change my date. I will post the url as soon as I know it. If this was work I would be fired! LOL
Way to go Playa
