Off course more film is a good idea. Like the changes in your life, definitely good for you. and I hope she likes golf. Remember to keep time in there for family. Tell Louise she looks great on camera we don't mind at all. 😀
Bernie i always love watching your content, its always entertaining and fun well most times lol .Best of luck with the house move she looks and seems a lovely lady . Hope 2025 treats you good and the channel grows and grows 👍
Wow mate sounds like good interesting year for the channel, love the way your thinking and bringing the kids and misses into the golf journey, I wish you all the luck in the world fella and look forward to many more vlogs
Congrats on the house! Look forward to viewing the 2025 content. Personally love the vlogs and hope you continue to do those . I know they are a pain but I love the banter. 🍻
Hi Lester, just subscribed to your channel and living in sunny Spain. Originally from Plymouth/Tavistock so really good to see Devon and Cornwall again after 18 years. Good look with the channel in 2025.
First off it’s great to hear things are going so well in your personal life as that’s first and foremost! As for your channel it’s great to hear your plans for more content, and hopefully that’s easier to do once you’ve moved and settled in. Making a space to practice at home and filming it would be great. Enjoyed seeing Dan and Coach Lockey when they did it. Good luck with the fitness aspect as well! I’ve done the same over the last year to the point where now I hold myself accountable because I don’t want to undo the hard work! Having Louise on the camera making a few comments about you would be brilliant! Cheers Lester!
@ Absolutely! I wasn’t ever in bad shape, just wasn’t doing a lot of activity and the eating was not the best. Now the body feels way better as well as the mind! Gotta take care of yourself first, then you can be there for others!
You've got a plate full of ideas for 2025, hope you accomplish half of it this year. Best wishes. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year, Bernie. Stay safe, healthy and happy for 2025 and beyond; you deserve, it. Cheers.
All the best for 2025 Lester. Loved the driving range video. Great little family there. Be great to see you with the golf mates or Chris Dennis/Gary Martin. Think golf life with tubes , Jimmy and ang. All RUclipsrs that have a good laugh 👍
I love your channel ,I love your course vlogs and I love your guests especially Washy and can't wait to see you out on the course laughing and joking with your mates ,the banter is brilliant ,all the best to You in 2025 in your work and private life and the very best to you and your new Partner and Family ,hope your House move goes well and stress free ,onwards and upwards Bernie !
Thanks for the great message Jack! Means a lot! Don’t worry there will be lots of Josh this year on the channel! Hope 2025 is a great year for you too!
Sounds great. Really like the competition videos- proper golf. Bit far to travel maybe but some collaborations with Gary Martin would be potentially very good I think?
Happy New Year Lester. Great plans for 2025. Get settled in the house before forging ahead. As someone on the back nine of life, I played football up until my early fourties when a ruptured achiles stopped it for good. I did continue to coach junior goalkeepers but match day parents stopped that pleasure. The injury healed but restricted my golf swing. So beware,your reactions get slower and injuries are picked up quicker and take longer to heal. Have always liked Bovey Castle, very pretty and for me quite a challenge. I played it prior to takeover when it was just Moreton Hampstead. Anyway take it steady, bite sized chunks,to maintain the quality. Good luck and stay safe. I'll be watching. Forever blowing bubbles.
Thanks David! I’m trying to get ahead with the content so I can dedicate time to sorting the house out. Having somewhere to film so close will free up more time with no distractions that I experience at the golf clubs. I guess it’s about finding that balance.
Good luck in 2025 Bernie. I hope your new life works out well for you. When the reality of family life hit home I doubt there will be enough time in the day to do half of what you are hoping to do but I will wait and see how it goes. All the best.
I have watched a lot of golf channels. The last few years. Your channel has been more inspiring to myself to do my own RUclips channel. And I really enjoy your channel Lester. You do what you think is right by, family , friends . Location. Love the channel mate. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's been great seeing you grow over the last year mate , Chanel and personal wise ... Looking forward to seeing more growth in 2025 , and hope to see you on a bus tour stop at some point .. keep up the great work mate 👊😎⛳🍻
Great vlog Bernie and I think you have some brilliant ideas for 2025 content. Many congratulations to you and Louise for moving in together, can't wait to see what you do with the place. Really happy to hear you're going to continue to produce content with DH. You 2 together are very funny, entertaining and you both bounce of each other. All the best for the coming year bud in your personal and professional life. ⛳
All the best in 2025 of course your channel will continue to grow as in 2024 Lester. No reason why it wouldn't! Hopefully catch up when in Devon this year , love to your mum as always x
Congratulations on your new life and house purchase I would like to see your play local pros to start then see how the series go then move to further afield 👍
Great to hear what is happening in 2025. It will be a great watch. I guess people like Chris Dennis, James Wiltshire, Big Oggie, Gary Martin, Coach Lockey (don’t think Crossfield does vlogs anymore) etc would be great options for a collaboration. Well up for some bus tour stuff, but will have to plan a long way in advance as I live in Rotterdam. Good luck
Thanks Graham! I’m going to message lots of those mentioned and see whether there’s a possibility of filming in the future. Hopefully catch you on a Bus Tour event soon!
Good luck to you in 2025. Id say what other people have said, the likes of Gary Marti, Chris Dennis and i think you'd enjoy Andy Carter and Golf Supply. 👍
Hi Lester good luck with the move. I work and live about 50miles from my house but love the course I belong to (Moss Vale Golf Club). Love to practice but weekends belong to my family and church. Not probably for you but am going back to Carnivore diet for health and weight loss. It is surprising. I am 63 years young and playing off 7.0, let’s see where we end up by December. Target is 4. All the best for 2025.
Love that Ken and you seem to have a good balance! I do miss eating meat, but unfortunately it doesn’t agree with my system so avoid it. Good luck with the handicap target! Let me know how you get on!
Great video Bernie. Everything sounds like it’s going well for you and I wish you all the best for 2025 and beyond. Huge congratulations on the new family and the moving in together. Meeting you and Dan last year was a highlight for me and I’m really looking forward to the bus tours/trips this year. I think collaborations are the way forward, certainly to help your channel growth short term. Obviously you and Dan is a must and I’m sure you can get something going with others. My personal recommendations would be Gaz Beadle and Golf Life. I think the craic would be amazing. A format idea I’d like to see, which I mentioned on a comment on one of Dan’s videos, is a two v two break 50 off the red tees. With just yours and Dan’s current circle of golf pals, you would be able to make a series I’m sure. Keep up the great work mate. 👍
All the best for 2025 Bernie - looking forward to the up coming content. How about collaboration with Iona Stephen, Matt Fryer, Andy Carter, Ali Taylor etc.
Great update, Bernie. You're on the right tract; just keep it going! I agree that some good collabs would help. Hmm, you should ask to appear on a big RUclips channel. The worst that could happen is Rick or someone else says no. 😀
Great video Bernie. Huge congratulations on finally finding the one to settle down with. 2025 is sounding like an exciting year ahead and I wish you all the best my friend. As for colabs, it's probably been said before but the golf life gang seems great and I can imagine you and Bullard having some proper banter. Golf mates might be a good one as well. I know you've done tips with Gary Martin, but any chance his buddy James Robinson might do something as well. Looking forward to the merch releases and bus tour news. P.S. Hannah Holden, used to work for National Club Golfer, based in Leeds, set up her own channel a few months ago when she left NCG to go full time on YT. She's a +2 handicap and also might be interested in a Collab as she's trying to grow her channel
Good luck pushing on Bernie great to see you grasping the nettle and going for it :) You shouldnt be struggling for good golfers to play a vlog with any of yours and Dans friends all have great attitudes on the course . Would love to see you out with dans brother / les pantalons/ mr must make. Hes one of the most interesting guys ive listened to on the Dark Side of golf (stats and management) plus hes awesome on the course to watch . Maybe Ruthy , Coach lockey , james wilshire might be up for a colab all seriously good golfers . Could even drag the fish (Wilbur) out of youtube retirement if you want to do a piece on attacking golf :p i always enjoyed his direct approach. All the best with it matey look forward to your next 12 months and the big 10k subs
great video Lester, looking forward to watching your content this year. love the ideas you got planned, and be good to see some collabs on the channel and the content with Dan (i found his channel via watching you) im also closing in on 50 and despite cycling everywhere feel my least fittest so any idea’s always helpful. be good to see a You & Dan vs Gary Martin & James Robinson in a North vs South Ryder Cup style special. loving the new logo as well and i’d definitely be up for some merch to wear or use on the course or range good video again & looking forward to further content 😁⛳️
I know Gary (who I regularly talk to) is up for a match and hopefully he can persuade James Robinson to play too as I think that “North v South” match could be a good series!
Smashed it in 2024 and I know it'll be even better in 2025. Love to see Craig Passmore on your channel, that boy guarantees 💣 's off the tee! Be great to catch up with Josh at Bovey Castle, hopefully a playing vlog filmed there. Great to see you back more playing with Dan, the dream team. If there's ever a Bus Tour up my way (South East) I'll be there. And lastly, you're definitely punching
All the best for 2025 bro. There is however one important question… have you switched bloody radio stations yet?!? 🤣🤣 Can’t wait for the convo with the misses… right let’s move in.. oh btw that garage you thought came with the house, that’s a golf sim now and that garden you thought you’d be able to use, that’s a putting green now 🤣🤣
😂 the conversation when like this 😂 “Lester, what do you think of the house? Do you like it? I love it!” I responded with “You can have the house as long as I can have the garage” 😂 😂
Good luck with it Lester. I remember Lee making some videos of his Simulator build a few years ago. Hopefully, whichever route you choose helps you develop the channel in the way you want 👍👍👍👍 Trey Niven, Paul Hemlin and Gary Martin have enjoyable channels and would be great for collaborations.
Hi Bernie. I'm looking forward to your continued content. As for other RUclipsrs. I quite like Not A Perfect Golfer. He's honest like you. Anyway, just a thought. All the best.
Looking forward to all your content in 2025 mate. Even though moving to Newton Abbot makes Churston further away, it does mean you're closer to Trago! Swings and roundabouts mate....😂😂😂😂😂
You're a good bloke, and she's a lucky girl, mate! After playing golf with you, I'm surprised your handicap went up, you're a really good golfer. Guess it shows how tough golf really is. All the best for 2025, and hopefully, I'll see you soon.
Happy New Year Bernie. I didn't mind you wafting the club around but you never kept it sill enough for me to see what it was but I'm going out on a limb and saying it was a Lynx iron ? I had the Lynx Prowlers and I loved them before I got fitted for the Titleist T200s. Me & My Golf have left Taylormade so there may be an opening there 😄😄. I can't believe we are the same handicap of 4.9 !!!. I'm based in Liverpool but am interested in the bus tour but I'll email you. If you do merch hopefully you can be cheaper than Shiels, £60 for a hoodie and £25 for a cap, is he having a laugh
Sundays were great with you guys and I'll definitely be watching 🤗 You both need each other, even if it's just once a week. Your like Morcambe and Wise 😜 who's who? 😂
I will message them, but I’d think the possibility of filming together is pretty remote as they are levels above me. But if you don’t ask, you don’t get and the worst they can say is no 😂
Congratulations on the developments in your personal life Bernie. Finally growing up eh? You will know you are alive with a family & home but I don't know if it is conductive to playing more golf! Good luck with it though, it's worth it.
I think the right idea is aim high but not to get despondent if you don’t achieve all your goals With all due respect it takes years to get to the level of an established golf content creator and many never reach those heights Enjoy what you do, aim high but be pragmatic and definitely be honest with yourself on the amount of effort you can and are prepared to put in. This would be my advice The new family is going to take up a lot more of your time than I bet you think!
Nice news Bernie. I think you could do something with Sinon at SAS. His ethos is fitting for 2nd hand clubs and with your repair/refurbishment skills you may find some common ground to collaborate on.
I would like to see you do a short game development series for you. I know you have had some help from Paul, but I think your destination scratch is contingent on more effective pitching. I would like to see you grind some short game and show the progress. With a coach or Paul or whomever.
Oh Bernie, if it flys fu*ks or floats … rent it. I’ve got loads of mates who wish they had taken my advice. looking forward to 2025 content, your attitude is great. Andy the average golfer puts some good stuff out there.
All looking good for 2025, personally and professionally. Get Gilly on for a fun vlog, maybe with Josh as well. Got to ask the question, where is Wilbur? Is he still playing, if yes, get him on.
It really doesn’t detract from your channel being with Dan. the opposite in fact, you two are just good together. You do need something very special throwing single person content out, in my opinion. Being with other good golfers who have personality really do make good watchable stuff. Watching you play with very average golfers, is ok, but too much doesn’t attract many I’d say, unless they have a really strong personality. Your pro there is a great player but also shows well on film. Music and filming quality also covers up a lot and, i have to say, I do watch the course vlogs when you play but can I say the commentary may need a little work….sorry, that’s harsh. Really do hope you succeed as you deserve it. merc….good quality with a quirky twist. And well done, although if you give up you could apply at a club in Stratford as manager. 😂😂. Keep going
Thanks Lou, appreciate the constructive criticism and will take it all on board. I do find the commentary on the vlogs difficult, mainly because I don’t like my voice and they are a working progress.
How about highlighting some female coaches and pros. Maybe review the best tip of week from other RUclipsrs. Love the on course stuff. Good luck 2025..
All of your ideas sound great Barney. What’s all this talk of punching above your weight? You need to remind that beautiful young lady every day just how lucky she is to have you.😊
All the Best Lester I've got a question for u i had modus 105 stiff in my irons the swing weight was d0 Just been fitted for axiom 105 stiff to go in my ping irons an the fitter put them at d3 took the indoor simulation and could hit up to 7 iron but felt heavy was getting 160 carry on a good hit but then 4-5-6 could hit over 150 carry could there be something up with the weight or the build of club I've got to go back in Feb
@berniebarnesgolf yes I gain distance an the accuracy was better but just feel from 7 iron down i hit ok but felt i had to work for it an the 4-5-6 iron just couldn't hit don't know y it's weid
Off course more film is a good idea. Like the changes in your life, definitely good for you. and I hope she likes golf. Remember to keep time in there for family. Tell Louise she looks great on camera we don't mind at all. 😀
She’s a bit reluctant to be filmed Bob 😂 but thanks and I’ll tell her.
Bernie i always love watching your content, its always entertaining and fun well most times lol .Best of luck with the house move she looks and seems a lovely lady . Hope 2025 treats you good and the channel grows and grows 👍
Thanks Jeff! Appreciate all your support over the years! Hope 2025 is a great year for you too!
Hopefully get down your way to play some golf 😊@berniebarnesgolf
Love that!
Wow mate sounds like good interesting year for the channel, love the way your thinking and bringing the kids and misses into the golf journey, I wish you all the luck in the world fella and look forward to many more vlogs
Thank Andy! Appreciate the kind words! Got lots of ideas for videos / content, so hope you enjoy a few of them. Thanks for the support.
Looking forward to your channel in 2025. Good luck with the move and hopefully catch up on a few Bus tour events.
Thanks Michael! Thanks for all your support. Look forward to seeing you in 2025!
Hi Bernie. Good luck for 2025. We are all happy to support you now and in future projects. Look forward to joining your journey .
Thanks Richard! Look forward to catching up in 2025!
Congrats on the house! Look forward to viewing the 2025 content. Personally love the vlogs and hope you continue to do those . I know they are a pain but I love the banter. 🍻
Thanks Jonathan! Got loads of vlogs planned this year! Hopefully filming one next week!
Hi Lester, just subscribed to your channel and living in sunny Spain. Originally from Plymouth/Tavistock so really good to see Devon and Cornwall again after 18 years. Good look with the channel in 2025.
Thanks Mike! You aren’t missing much here at the moment! 🌧️ 🌧️ welcome to the channel and send some sunshine over here please!
First off it’s great to hear things are going so well in your personal life as that’s first and foremost!

Having Louise on the camera making a few comments about you would be brilliant! Cheers Lester!
Thanks Tyler! Really getting into the fitness stuff and eating less / better! I don’t know about you but I feel so much better about myself!
@ Absolutely! I wasn’t ever in bad shape, just wasn’t doing a lot of activity and the eating was not the best. Now the body feels way better as well as the mind! Gotta take care of yourself first, then you can be there for others!
Best of luck for the Future Bernie. I enjoy the informality of your videos, look forward to the coming year.
Thanks Peter! Appreciate that! Hope 2025 is a great year for you.
You've got a plate full of ideas for 2025, hope you accomplish half of it this year. Best wishes. Keep up the good work. Happy New Year, Bernie. Stay safe, healthy and happy for 2025 and beyond; you deserve, it. Cheers.
Thanks my friend! Really going to put the time and effort into it, so hopefully as you say if I can achieve half of it I’ll be happy 😂

Thanks for the great message Jack! Means a lot! Don’t worry there will be lots of Josh this year on the channel! Hope 2025 is a great year for you too!
Sounds great. Really like the competition videos- proper golf. Bit far to travel maybe but some collaborations with Gary Martin would be potentially very good I think?
I’ll definitely go and film with Gary this year! We chat a lot so something I must do Michael!
Chris Gill!! The banter between you lads is hilarious. Dan is always good to have around. Maybe some up and coming golfers, Junior champions etc.
I’ve just messaged Gilly Benny 😂 hopefully I can get him on the channel soon!
Happy New Year Lester.
Great plans for 2025.
Get settled in the house before forging ahead.
As someone on the back nine of life, I played football up until my early fourties when a ruptured achiles stopped it for good. I did continue to coach
junior goalkeepers but match day parents stopped that pleasure.
The injury healed but restricted my golf swing. So beware,your reactions get slower and injuries are picked up quicker and take longer to heal.
Have always liked Bovey Castle, very pretty and for me quite a challenge. I played it prior to takeover when it was just Moreton Hampstead.
Anyway take it steady, bite sized chunks,to maintain the quality.
Good luck and stay safe.
I'll be watching.
Forever blowing bubbles.
Thanks David!
I’m trying to get ahead with the content so I can dedicate time to sorting the house out. Having somewhere to film so close will free up more time with no distractions that I experience at the golf clubs. I guess it’s about finding that balance.
Glad life is going well for you, a settled life helps your golf. Good luck for this year.
That’s what I’m hoping Robert! Hope 2025 is a great year for you too!

She’s a good one Malc and very supportive which I’ve never had before.
Good luck Lester for 2025. You always produce interesting and diverse content, thank you.
Thanks for all your support so far! Means a lot
Congrats and best of luck Bernie! Looking forward to more content this year! 😎
Thanks Chuck! Appreciate the support.

Good luck for 2025 Bernie i loved your videos with Dan Hendriksen.
Thanks Fred! Hope you have a good 2025!
Love it pal! I am the same in terms of 2024 being a learning curve. Keep going pal.
From someone who’s been there, just keep posting mate! Liam from Golfmates told me only judge yourself after 100 videos!
Best wishes, keep up the good work!
Thanks Ron! Hope 2025 is a great year for you too!
Great to see your settled in your personal life.Keep the competition vlogs coming there your best work.
Thanks Michael! Filming a competition vlog tomorrow so will get that out next week. Thanks for the support.
Looking forward to your vlog's in 2025 with your family and how they progress throughout the year, also how much you can lower your handicap.
Thanks Colston! Appreciate the kind words mate.
Great vlog Bernie and I think you have some brilliant ideas for 2025 content.
Many congratulations to you and Louise for moving in together, can't wait to see what you do with the place.
Really happy to hear you're going to continue to produce content with DH. You 2 together are very funny, entertaining and you both bounce of each other.

Congratulations on your new life and house purchase I would like to see your play local pros to start then see how the series go then move to further afield 👍
Cheers Garry! Always hard to get local pros on here as they seem to be busy particularly in the playing season! I will try though I promise.
Great to hear what is happening in 2025. It will be a great watch.
I guess people like Chris Dennis, James Wiltshire, Big Oggie, Gary Martin, Coach Lockey (don’t think Crossfield does vlogs anymore) etc would be great options for a collaboration.

Wishing you the best of luck in 2025 mate, keep up the awesome production.
Thanks Jamie! Good luck to you to mate! Hoping to get up to Scotland again this year!

@berniebarnesgolf I did wonder about that when I put his name down. If you're coming up to Yorkshire let me know
I’ve tried to talk to him but he’s never seemed interested and he unfollowed me on social media. Maybe I said something he didn’t like 😂
Good one Lester, love the course vlogs and the journey to scratch series. Will definitely support the channel via merch. HNY.
Appreciate the support mate! Hope 2025 is a great year for you.
Great Stuff Bernie. All the best with the move…..don’t leave us 😂
I’m going no where Steve 😂
Lovin ya work Bernie all the best for 2025 good to hear you and Dan will be doing vids together
Cheers Martyn! You will enjoy Dans Sunday Morning Show this week!
Good luck for your future Bernie, great to hear of your plans for’25 and good luck for your upcoming move!
Thanks my friend! Appreciate all the support.
Good luck with everything mate, Newton Abbot Trego Stover all close by, and the kids asking to go golf again is awesome 👌
Thanks Steve! They both wanted to go which was awesome!
@@berniebarnesgolf 👌
Good, clear honest video Lester. Probably been said, but golf mates would be the obvious next colab. Very best of luck for 2025.
Thanks Ben! I will message Liam and see whether that’s a possibility!

Hes one of the most interesting guys ive listened to on the Dark Side of golf (stats and management) plus hes awesome on the course to watch . Maybe Ruthy , Coach lockey , james wilshire might be up for a colab all seriously good golfers . Could even drag the fish (Wilbur) out of youtube retirement if you want to do a piece on attacking golf :p i always enjoyed his direct approach. All the best with it matey look forward to your next 12 months and the big 10k subs
Thanks mate! I always feel a bit bad asking people to film when I don’t pay them, but I will ask more people this year definitely!
Looking forward to the coming year's output mate. Yes, you're deffo punching!
Thanks David! Can always rely on you mate 😂
Happy new year Lester good luck with 2025 . Thanks for last year enjoyed it.
Cheers for following Nick! Hope 2025 is a good one for you!
@@berniebarnesgolf well enjoy moving out good old NA probably be a shock 😲
great video Lester, looking forward to watching your content this year.
love the ideas you got planned, and be good to see some collabs on the channel and the content with Dan (i found his channel via watching you)
im also closing in on 50 and despite cycling everywhere feel my least fittest so any idea’s always helpful.
be good to see a You & Dan vs Gary Martin & James Robinson in a North vs South Ryder Cup style special.
loving the new logo as well and i’d definitely be up for some merch to wear or use on the course or range
good video again & looking forward to further content 😁⛳️
I know Gary (who I regularly talk to) is up for a match and hopefully he can persuade James Robinson to play too as I think that “North v South” match could be a good series!
Smashed it in 2024 and I know it'll be even better in 2025.
Love to see Craig Passmore on your channel, that boy guarantees 💣 's off the tee!
Be great to catch up with Josh at Bovey Castle, hopefully a playing vlog filmed there.
Great to see you back more playing with Dan, the dream team.
If there's ever a Bus Tour up my way (South East) I'll be there.
And lastly, you're definitely punching
I’ll definitely feature Josh as much as possible on the channel Andrew and Craig said he’d come on when I saw him a couple of weeks ago!
Exciting times!!! Good luck with everything
Thanks Andrew! Hope 2025 is a good one for you.
Good stuff lester , all the best and keep up the good work
Thanks for your support Steven! Hope 2025 is a good year for you.
Good luck with everything . will be watching All the best Lester .
Thanks Mick! Hope 2025 is a great one for you too!
All the best for 2025 bro.
There is however one important question… have you switched bloody radio stations yet?!? 🤣🤣
Can’t wait for the convo with the misses… right let’s move in.. oh btw that garage you thought came with the house, that’s a golf sim now and that garden you thought you’d be able to use, that’s a putting green now 🤣🤣
😂 the conversation when like this 😂
“Lester, what do you think of the house? Do you like it? I love it!”
I responded with “You can have the house as long as I can have the garage” 😂 😂
@ Man after my own heart 🤣 now just the misses to change your taste in radio station 😉
She’s trying 😂
wish you and yours the best bernie good luck from NC in the states i was born in edinburough scotland
Thanks David! Hope 2025 is a good year for you and the family.
Good luck with it Lester. I remember Lee making some videos of his Simulator build a few years ago. Hopefully, whichever route you choose helps you develop the channel in the way you want 👍👍👍👍 Trey Niven, Paul Hemlin and Gary Martin have enjoyable channels and would be great for collaborations.
Thanks Kev. I like the idea of the “home made practice facilities” so will definitely do a series on that.
All the very best for 2025 Lester. Always enjoy your content👏
Thanks Will! Means a lot my friend.
Missing Sunday Morning show with you and Dan, talking about golf, about pga, DP tour and so on
Funny you should mention that Ben!
Hi Bernie. I'm looking forward to your continued content. As for other RUclipsrs. I quite like Not A Perfect Golfer. He's honest like you. Anyway, just a thought. All the best.
I’ll message him Chris! Thanks!
Looking forward to all your content in 2025 mate. Even though moving to Newton Abbot makes Churston further away, it does mean you're closer to Trago! Swings and roundabouts mate....😂😂😂😂😂
You can’t beat Trago and in 20 years I’ll get my Thursday discount! 😂
Looking forward to the new stuff Bernie 👍
Thanks Simon! Thanks for your support (as always)
You're a good bloke, and she's a lucky girl, mate! After playing golf with you, I'm surprised your handicap went up, you're a really good golfer. Guess it shows how tough golf really is. All the best for 2025, and hopefully, I'll see you soon.
Cheers Rog! Thanks for all your support and looking forward to catching up this year!
Bernie great news my friend. Wishing you and your girl friend every happiness in your home and continued success for your channel.
Thanks mate! Appreciate that! It means a lot!
👍
Thanks Mark
Happy New Year Bernie. I didn't mind you wafting the club around but you never kept it sill enough for me to see what it was but I'm going out on a limb and saying it was a Lynx iron ? I had the Lynx Prowlers and I loved them before I got fitted for the Titleist T200s. Me & My Golf have left Taylormade so there may be an opening there 😄😄. I can't believe we are the same handicap of 4.9 !!!. I'm based in Liverpool but am interested in the bus tour but I'll email you. If you do merch hopefully you can be cheaper than Shiels, £60 for a hoodie and £25 for a cap, is he having a laugh
It was my old set of cobras Dave that I was holding. 😂 always welcome on the bus tour and it would be great to meet you.
You and Dan are missing the best opportunity, The Sunday Morning Show. Great concept and the 2 of you together, it just works. 🤗
Funny you should say that Phillip 😂 you may get your wish this week 😂 x
Sundays were great with you guys and I'll definitely be watching 🤗 You both need each other, even if it's just once a week. Your like Morcambe and Wise 😜 who's who? 😂
I’ll leave you to decide 😂
Thrilled for you my friend - not a channel owner / provider but if you venture towards the golfing desert that is East Anglia, look me up!
😂 I will do Martyn! 😂
Good luck with the move and wish you the best
Cheers Gary! Hopefully catch up in 2025!
Wishing you all the best and see you on strava
Thanks Lars! I’ll follow you too!
Good luck With the move Bernie,
Thanks Tom! Appreciate the support my friend.
Good luck for 2025 Lester. Try Tubes and Jimmy Bullard, you may have to travel to Surrey but they can help. Keep up the honest content.
I will message them, but I’d think the possibility of filming together is pretty remote as they are levels above me. But if you don’t ask, you don’t get and the worst they can say is no 😂
Good luck with all the plans Lester 👍 Hope it all works out well.
Thanks my friend!
Congratulations on the developments in your personal life Bernie. Finally growing up eh? You will know you are alive with a family & home but I don't know if it is conductive to playing more golf! Good luck with it though, it's worth it.
Thanks Rolf! Not quite grown up yet 😂
Best of luck, Bernie on all fronts.
Cheers Tony!
I think the right idea is aim high but not to get despondent if you don’t achieve all your goals
With all due respect it takes years to get to the level of an established golf content creator and many never reach those heights
Enjoy what you do, aim high but be pragmatic and definitely be honest with yourself on the amount of effort you can and are prepared to put in. This would be my advice
The new family is going to take up a lot more of your time than I bet you think!
Totally get that and that’s why I’ve ways set my target at 10k on here and not 100k 😂
You’re killing it Bernie
Thanks Fabian! Wish I was 😂
Best wishes on your new 2025 journey, before doing whats in my golf bag, why not do, my typical day. Lastly what do you do with old golf balls
Thanks for the ideas! I like them! Definitely do a what I do in a day video! Great idea!
Good luck Lester 👍🏻👍🏻 definitely punching above your weight 🥊
Thanks my friend! Harsh but fair 😂
Nice news Bernie. I think you could do something with Sinon at SAS. His ethos is fitting for 2nd hand clubs and with your repair/refurbishment skills you may find some common ground to collaborate on.
I’ll send him a message Tim! See if he’s interested!
Definitely punching and let's hope that the channel has the same luck
Thanks Mark 😂 😂
I would like to see you do a short game development series for you. I know you have had some help from Paul, but I think your destination scratch is contingent on more effective pitching. I would like to see you grind some short game and show the progress. With a coach or Paul or whomever.
I do like that idea. Only issue I have is everything works for a few weeks 😂 think I need to see a psychiatrist 😂
Oh Bernie, if it flys fu*ks or floats … rent it. I’ve got loads of mates who wish they had taken my advice. looking forward to 2025 content, your attitude is great. Andy the average golfer puts some good stuff out there.
Thanks my friend! Your comments always make me laugh 😂 I’ve met Andy once before and love his content.
You and josh always seems fun
I’ll get Josh on the videos as much as possible this year!
Enjoy your new home with Louise and the children keep the volgs coming Lester
Thanks Bryan! Hope 2025 is a great one for you!
good luck for '25 Bernie
Cheers Bob! Hope you have a great 2025!
Good luck mate sounds like your 2025 is pretty full on. I believe Mr Wiltshire is looking for takers for a £100 money match.
As long as he gives me 6 shots I’ll be happy to take him on Mark 😂
@@berniebarnesgolf you can only ask mate
Agreed!
All looking good for 2025, personally and professionally. Get Gilly on for a fun vlog, maybe with Josh as well.
Got to ask the question, where is Wilbur? Is he still playing, if yes, get him on.
I’ll definitely do something with Gily and Josh. No idea about Wilbur, we were never that close or hung out together.
It really doesn’t detract from your channel being with Dan. the opposite in fact, you two are just good together. You do need something very special throwing single person content out, in my opinion. Being with other good golfers who have personality really do make good watchable stuff. Watching you play with very average golfers, is ok, but too much doesn’t attract many I’d say, unless they have a really strong personality. Your pro there is a great player but also shows well on film. Music and filming quality also covers up a lot and, i have to say, I do watch the course vlogs when you play but can I say the commentary may need a little work….sorry, that’s harsh. Really do hope you succeed as you deserve it. merc….good quality with a quirky twist. And well done, although if you give up you could apply at a club in Stratford as manager. 😂😂. Keep going
Thanks Lou, appreciate the constructive criticism and will take it all on board. I do find the commentary on the vlogs difficult, mainly because I don’t like my voice and they are a working progress.
How about highlighting some female coaches and pros. Maybe review the best tip of week from other RUclipsrs. Love the on course stuff. Good luck 2025..
I like that idea Don!
All of your ideas sound great Barney. What’s all this talk of punching above your weight? You need to remind that beautiful young lady every day just how lucky she is to have you.😊
😂 I try to Wayne 😂
Good luck in 2025 Bernie
Thanks Karlos! Hope 2025 is a good one for you!
I feel like you and Gary Martin would work well together.
I agree! Definitely going to go and see him in 2025 mate.
All the Best Lester
I've got a question for u i had modus 105 stiff in my irons the swing weight was d0
Just been fitted for axiom 105 stiff to go in my ping irons an the fitter put them at d3 took the indoor simulation and could hit up to 7 iron but felt heavy was getting 160 carry on a good hit but then 4-5-6 could hit over 150 carry could there be something up with the weight or the build of club
I've got to go back in Feb
Sounds like it Carl. Did you gain distance with your 7iron when you changed shafts and what was the reason for changing shafts?
@berniebarnesgolf yes I gain distance an the accuracy was better but just feel from 7 iron down i hit ok but felt i had to work for it an the 4-5-6 iron just couldn't hit don't know y it's weid
Surely you can try and ignite the muppet tour again by getting Crossie and Lockey away from their simulators?!
It’s difficult Mark, they aren’t really interested in other RUclipsrs or channels, seem to regard others as competitors.
