Matt.. Love you buddy. I watch every video and re watch them too. You keep it real. Golf is so hard and I feel your pain because as players we know what you are going through. Keep up the good work. I'm form Ohio USA 69 years young.
Matt flicks ball into woods with putter. "First good strike, that!" Made me spit my coffee :)
So many clubs going into the naughty cupboard, it must be a naughty room, not just a cupboard! 😀 Really entertaining video - I love the In the Red series. One of the highlights of the week.
The flat stick can come alive, or get chopped in half. One of the 2 outcomes will happen…. Can’t stop laughing at that bit 😂😂😂. Keep up the great work Matt ⛳️
One of the most entertaining things I’ve seen on RUclips. Matt’s reactions 😂. Just can’t imagine the average chopper around there. They’d struggle to break 100.
Excellent. This is the content I love from you. Real golf, real playing, not goofy golf. Thank you. ❤
Felt your pain thru back nine Matt. Usually for me every other hole. Humbling game.
Love the channel.
your by far top 3 golf creator’s in my book matt keep up the good work my friend
Matt’s restrained fury is very funny. A feeling shared with most golfers. He should actually create the “naughty cupboard” and now and again reveal the contents to the viewers. Great entertainment.
Was a member of Woodhall mid 70's that's pre England golf and Bracken days. Can't believe how open it all looks, they seem to have removed a lot of gorse and silver birch trees. Filming just doesn't show how deep some of those bunkers really are. Managed to win the Stanhope Vase with a round that got me chopped to single figures and get my name on the wall at the home of England Golf before being posted away. Bragging rights, happy days. Nice video Matt, thanks.
Fair play for not losing the plot, it looked like hard work keeping it together for the channel 😂
Let's see a video with Dan Grieves and the short game lesson.
Brilliant vlog Matt, love the fact putter going into naughty cupboard,always entertaining thank you keep them coming.
Love the content matt. Some of the most watchable content out there for me. For a guy who wears his heart on his sleave you kept your calm well and ground out the best score you can on the day.
Yes, thank you Mr Fryer. Thanks to you I have some evening entertainment! 🎉🎉
Matt great laugh with this content all my clubs end up on the naughty step after each game but unfortunately I cannot afford to replace them each time lol
Everybody has a tough day now and then, it was just your turn. But I can’t wait to see your new putter…😂😂
'Having putt like I have no eyeballs, or hands' 🤣
Enjoyable content Matt. Funnily enough
I’ve just benched my Tri-Hot 5k No.2 as well after a crisis of confidence. Good luck with the next putter. Highly recommend a Bettinardi Queen B10 ❤️❤️
Great video Matt, appreciate seeing you taken on a tough course! Hopefully the new flatstick cooperates 😊
All and all a good round on a very tough course. Thanks Matt. Never give up on a putter.
I enjoyed this adventure with you Matt! Great courage to take on such a hard course. Tip: before burning your wedges and scrapping your putter, go and have a talk (or lesson) with Guy Hindle. You know what to do on the mental side, now do it! That video with Guy has saved me lots of bad (uncommitted) shots!
Lol, I can’t believe you held it together as well as you did.
That was one of those rounds that could give a guy a heart attack. Hang in there my friend
Golf after all is a dirty four letter word.
By the way love your channel.
I teach Golf in Sacramento, California.
You’re a good guy and a good sport sometimes this game can really push our buttons.😂
The knee clicks when you start hearing them 😂
Love this course . As an OAP it plays easier when early holes are wind behind to give you some confidence. Some long carries for the ladies over the heather. I think one of my playing partners had over ten bunker shots on the course.
My PING putter is getting awful close to the naughty step at the moment - its either a lesson for me or a swap back to my ODYSSEY.
Great vlog on a tough course - cheers
its good to see even great golfers like yourself still get that urge some days to just snap the driver and throw the bag into the nearest lake haha.. the other day i paid for a full round then just walked back to the car after 5 holes
Great video! Really enjoying this series and you did make me chuckle 😂
I am sure people watch these sort of video's for different reasons. Perhaps like me, its a showcase of how to play golf when I am way off this standard, a hypothetical. This video is a psychological cross section of how even scratch golfers descend into madness. Do not change matt, this is a great video mate.
Enjoyed every moment Matt even though it wasn't one of your better games, putter definitely has to be the cause.😊😊
Needed to see this Matt, just had a very similar frustrating round myself playing a difficult course and this vid made me feel a little better 😂
Tough round Matt, but awesome on how you soldiered through.
This was like watching an andy carter video. Putt putt putt.
Absolutely loved woodhall spa! Home of the dambusters. Can't wait to go back one day!
loved his Matt. Still retaining your humour to the last!
That is an epic heads gone conversation with your putter!
The trump course that the seniors are playing on this weekend seems underated for slope. Its 149 off the back tees and i cant imagine a harder course.
Would love to see Matt take it on !
Absolute class commentary Matt sound like every weekend golfer 🏌️♂️ 😂😂😂😂
Glad you liked it 🤙🤙
The gradual build up frustration 😂
Another super effort. You cannot keep blaming the clubs you know that isn't the answer lol. Love these videos
“That’s 144 more bunkers than… “ 😂
One of the greatest inland courses in the UK
ooo an hour of Mr Fryer on the track, sign me up
Hi Matt - the slope is high which determines the number of shots a golfer receives, but this is not the highest rated tee set - the gold tee set at Rockliffe has the highest rating for the male golfer in England. Please note that a rating value is the measure of difficulty. Regards.
Considering the amount of 3 wacks you did was an amazing score at the end you could easily of ended up in the 80's around there
28:22 Matt's legendary flatulence tips over another tripod.
“Change of putter needed”. 😊
My favorite series!
Real Golf. Luv it. Normally so positive Matt??
Nice to see someone admit that they naturally play the runner instead of all the RUclips golfers ripping balls backwards.
The Hotchkin imo is the best inland course in the UK. Walton Heath, Sunningdale, and Hollingwell run it close, but I still believe this is number one. I love how it starts you off nice and gentle...lulling you in...Then it ramps up in difficulty.
You definitely have been going easy on the old bleeper these days.. I'd wear one out every round 😁😁
3 putting always sucks but having a put for eagle and walking away with a par is right up there in long list of things that get the blood boiling on the course lol I love this game
Played the course last year and it for me, is one you can remember every hole.. Really enjoyed the challenge.
I’ll watch this later as it’s a course I really like,but I’ve never been sure about it’s rating as the hardest course in England. It’s tough but I’d say quite playable… unless you go in a bunker !!
the bunkers are the big threat for sure!
“Dunno why I’m not hitting that with a 60 really”…I was screaming that for the first one as well…you need to get spin on it!!!
Course ratings offer too much emphasis on bunkering. With changing climate, wind conditions are underrated, certain coastal courses are becoming almost unplayable for mere mortals. I played Eastbourne downs for over 20 years, often 40 mph wind, holding greens almost impossible. Inland courses are less affected, yet with increased rainfall, summer run out is also disappearing. So in short, environmental issues are more important than bunkering.
Slope rating isn’t entirely a measure of difficulty - course rating is the degree of difficulty. Slope is how much harder it is for an 18 handicap golfer versus a scratch golfer. So forced carries, bunkers tend to lead to a higher slope.
@@robertbutlin3708 yet bunkers at local courses offer little if any hazard. Rivetted, deep bunkering penalises, sand for the sake of it doesn’t. I now play a heather lined heathland course, windy and demands accuracy. Recently had to be re-rated as the original rating ignored weather and natural conditions, now slope is up from 110 to 135, we have very few bunkers, nature is a better hazard.
Matt, Pete Finch will be auctioning off a Mizuno putter that he used on A Fairway Down charity cycle. He seemed to like it and holed some putts, might be worth a bid 😉
Great video Matt. Played there in June and for me the main difficulty was the greens. Countless times I just did not read the subtle changes in line just by the hole
Love this course, played it twice, first time went round in 120+ shots 😅 then broke 100 the 2nd time, bunkers just ruin you
Just the naughty putter great to watch you tackle that course
I'm always amazed at the coincidence that the highest rated course in the country happens to be the HQ of England Golf!
Hardest
I've played this course 3 times, all at different times of the year. It is absolutely, definitely not the hardest course I've played. In fact, it's far from the hardest. If you are a relatively straight hitter, you will score well. Obviously, if you're a bit wayward off the tee, then the course will punish you, but it's a flat track with very little risk down the middle. EG clearly gaming their own system to tag their HQ as the hardest in England. Comical.
The EGU didn’t move in til the late 90’s! It’s always been recognised as a difficult course! I live half hour away and few people play to handicap there.
Who would have guessed that the England golf HQ course has the highest slope rating in England. 🤷♂️
Great video Matt!! I am a member of Woodhall spa! Hope you enjoyed it ❤
From cameos of cameraman I can make a drinking game and end up destroyed completely, but good video, good to see, how to approach such hard course
It's funny how Golf can break people 🤣
Good video and nothing wrong with 80+
Don’t be hard on yourself Matt. If that by slope is the hardest course to shoot what did is a very good accomplishment!
Hi Matt, interesting and enjoyable series. You are a super player. Can you try positive self talk in your next videos? Fan from Perth, Western Australia
If you dont want that odyssey tri hot putter you could send it my way 😌 fantastic video love the series
That looked a great course!
Shouldn't have donated that putter to Finch! Seems golden for him :-)
I'd kill for five over par on an easy course! Great job Matt!
I hit it where I aimed it, a change of putter is needed. hahaha.
Love watching your swing. I bet you'd be great fun to play a round with.
"He who talks a lot often fails". Lao Tzu.
Commenting at the start. Slope rating tells you how hard it is for a bogey golfer compared to scratch, with 113 being the same difficulty level. It's the course rating you should be worried about, which i see is 2 over the par!
Exactly. As a pro, he should know that
@@edanzoreI think it’s a recent adoption outside US when world handicap system was introduced.
Tough but enjoyable test the Hotchkin.
Been at Woodhall Spa for a Stay & Play a few times.
The Bracken is as good a second course as anywhere I've played.
Well worth the trip south of the border.
Yep it's a great spot
Looking at the way you throw your clubs into your bag sometimes, I’m sure it won’t be long before your new graphite shafted irons will be worn through to the weave. Probably fine for you, but for the average golfer, that’s a lot of money to replace.
The back tees at wychwood park in Cheshire are also 151 on the slope rating not too far from you either would love to see you do an in the red there I’d be happy to show you round
I feel starting a round playing 3/4 swing or 80% effort swing to get yourself into the game helps get you into it and then as you get around you get the swing rhythm flowing you can up the effort. Found this helps me limit my fade/slice
Your putter might be doing the best she can, Woodhall Spa has been around 100+ years and the contours are natural and subtle. I and 3 other Yanks played Hotchkin in early 1990s; it has changed a lot but the greens not so much. One of our group was a bit older and needed a caddie (no carts and no trolleys allowed). He got an off duty European tour caddie whose price was 150 Pound Sterling, about $225); after negotiation my friend payed about $100, the rest of the foursome $30 each for tee shot advise and green reading, best golf money we ever spent. That caddie saved more strokes than we would have believed; you should consider that if you play Hotchkin again.
Great vid. Want that hat!
Can see why Rick hasn't been here. Thought you held it together well.
Enjoyed the video as usual Matt but l hope you picked up the thrown tee on the 18th green 🤷
Matt, love the content. Just wondering, why you appear to drop your club post swing somewhat frequently. Is this due to less forgiveness in clubs, or advanced swing? This doesn't happen to me or my mates, but we tend to use quite forgiving/low skill clubs.
Matt, did you buy every item of. Clothing at St Andrews??? 😂😂
Pls play Wychwood Park nr Crewe. It’s 151 too but 400 yds longer. Hardest course I’ve ever played by a distance.
Play Beauport Park in Hastings now that is rustic and very hard .👍👍
Get a lesson with Dan grieve. And please record it so the rest of us learn too 😅
Your going to have to bring out that scotty
I have noticed on the golf course, that the worst putters are the ones that rely on those little lines on the ball to line up the putt. They ALWAYS have it misaligned, and then they can't swing a putter properly anyway. Its like shooting a rifle with the rear and front site 1 inch apart. Its impossible to aim.
🔥🔥🔥
YOU KNOW IT
You can’t change a ball mid hole can you? Love you Matt -follow loads of channels but love you 1st (then Finchy, Carter and Guy Charnock)
Matt, time to get the rare Callaway Jailbird putter or the Brian Harmon Ping.
Please dont change youre putter as it has served you very well so far , maybe it was just an off day or the course rating got in youre head .
Looks like a tough but fair course.
I hate to be 'that guy' but slope rating is not a measure of absolute difficulty. It's a measure of the difference in difficulty between a scratch golfer and a bogey golfer.
you tried st melion at salt ash cornwall ?
Come play Wychwood park in Crewe, 151 off the back tees also. Whites are 148
Wedge lesson .puttung lesson and most importantly a bunker raking lesson
My god there’s so many sand traps on that course your gonna see a few of them there’s hardly any chance to avoid them all…✌🏼✌🏼
I played this course and got my first ever eagle on 18!
Come back to Lincolnshire! We have a lot of great courses
We saw some, we will deffo be back!
