    Andy,
    Shiskine could very well be where "The Good Lord" goes when he wants to get in a quick round, what a venue!

    It would be jaw dropping to watch your series in an IMAX movie theater. The scenic views of the ferry trip courses are the best. Your a fine ambassador for Scottish golf. To be honest, I'm a bit envious of the charmed life you share through the camera. Please keep the magic coming every Sunday.

    Links golf is great and what a nice course to practice your mid range golf game, and hit off tight lies and love the blind shots, you are leading the golf life, always enjoy my Sunday watching your golf video and the interesting places you and your wife go to. She does great camera and drone flying with the overhead shots, I would probably crash the drone on takeoff.

    I adore this video and I'd like to tell you my reasons. This is the purpose, in my opinion, of playing golf. You tee off on the first hole and you see how many shots you need to make it around until the final hole, not to shoot a bazillion under par or to measure yourself against par (an arbitrary number) but just how many shots it takes you. (a side note - one of the reasons I love The Open and the strokes total instead of relation to "par") A person also takes time to enjoy just being where you are, looking around, and hitting a little ball around some grass and remembering that you're doing it for the challenge but also for fun, it's not working in a salt mine. I'm a single-digit handicap, live in Florida, get to play some really nice golf courses, but I find myself gravitating to more experiences like you've had here, remembering why I play the game and finding the joy/zen in just playing golf without all of the extraneous stuff that goes with it like course condition perfection, ego tied to score, alpha-male money games, etc., play because you love the game. I really enjoyed this video.

      Bang on Todd, it’s you V the course. If with good company what’s not to like you can score badly but be hitting the ball well, likewise can fluke a shot and it nearly goes in. Who really cares, enjoy what can be a piece of haven away from the bustle of life. Sadly there are too many even on you tube who moan a players short is not tucked in, hat worn the wrong way.
      When I started playing again my irons are over 30 years old, Wilson’s, my woods are woods even older as bought 2nd hand, my trolly a simple pull/ push one that was less than £30 /$40 30 years ago. I got looks from others as there are those who think you need to have all the gear otherwise your not a proper player.
      I enjoy the walk, the serenity, the views. I can often be the only person on the 9 holes I am playing ( the course has 5 x 9 hole layout) I don’t have to wait I don’t have to rush, bliss

    How is this beautiful piece of real estate uninhabited to the point where, on a clear day, you can go out, play a relaxed round of golf, shoot a video of it, and have no one around to bother you. Didn't think places like this existed anymore.

    • @guyr7351
      @guyr7351 2 года назад

      The only drawback I can see is blind shots, dislike these as if a bit wild then it can be a guessing game, but also the course as Andy played it how much run was there? Have been to Arran many years ago loved it.

    Another great video Andy, always a pleasure to see and hear how much pleasure you get from your surroundings, the score is secondary.
    One thing I would add, is I wished every you tuber Started to promote a repair 1+2 on pitch marks eg yours plus two more , if we all did this the greens would be pitch mark free within a week. I often can repair 8-9 pitch marks per green , drives me mad.
