This video just summarizes everything about the game of golf. Kicks you when you are down but yet throws you a bone every so often. Keep up the great content!!!!
Matt! Been there, done that! However, consider the following (and these are not "excuses"): 1. Cold weather/bundled up in restrictive, bulky clothing. 2. You never played the course. 3. EXTREMELY difficult (L-O-N-G) Open Championship qualifying layout. 4. No caddie. 5. Camera tracking every shot/nerves. To answer your question--YES...give it a shot to qualify for The Open! Now, go have a pint! Cheers!
Just enough to keep you playing...all it takes is a few good shots and we are hooked. You are one of us Matt. Keep working and challenge Finch in trying to make the open, you can do it!
Just saying anger control from way back when, massive improvement. That manic laugh at the end after you said just right for a duffed pitch, then proceeded to duff. Man you’re a better golfer than that. Positive mental attitude for you would take you places. That said I’m sure I hold the record for longest driver throw at some courses.
We can all relate to the "what if I play like this when it counts" mindset. Partly unfamiliarity with the course, partly the actual difficulty, partly anticipation making or not making the cut. Pre-tournament nerves; we've all been there.
Great video and a true test of golf from the back tees. What was so great about the video is how relatable it is for most golfers. Playing off the yellows at my home course, I suffer the same woes in my rounds. Golf.Is.Hard.
You gotta play The Open qualifying simply for the experience. Do what you can to get your game in shape but ultimately, I can see you really wanna do it Matt so just go for it and let the chips fall where they may.
I know I shouldn't laugh at someone's painful round of golf because I've had enough of them myself, but.... thanks for sharing your round. Always enjoy your content and I know you're a better golfer than this round.
Great video. Just shows golf can kick you if your a bit off and can give you that shot that makes you feel much better about yourself. That putter was magnificent. Well done Matt
Thanks for sharing Matt. Very relatable. If a player like you is struggling like this, at least you've made a lot of 100 plus hatchet merchants, like me, feel a lot better I think!
Good effort Matt. There's always one shot every round that keeps us coming back for more no matter how "badly" we're playing. That 50 footer was some putt!
Well done, Matt. Tough day with your swing, but that course looked gorgeous. I'm happy you had the opportunity to get out and play! Keep your chin up and play.
Well done Matt so refreshing to see a golf video not edited the shit out of! so many edit so they look good! 1 average golfer on utube plays a lot in scotland, he seems tp par every hole ! he would have shot par today! lol...really enjoyed seeing "real" golf...well done Matt
You should have said after the birdie "I love this game". What a game we all love. Good stuff Matt. A few years ago I think you might have thrown those clubs in the drink.
I played this course for my 65th birthday present. Fantastic place, brilliant course, views so special. I played off the yellows and scored 110. For 20 handicap golfer, I though that was pretty good. The weather was warm and no wind so that helped.
Not your best golf to be fair but that's golf as you know. Loved seeing that massive putt drop for you. Glad you enjoyed your visit to my home county of Fife. Cheers
"I don't want to brag, but I hit one where I wanted" 😂 good on ya for showing us a bad day. Your score was significantly better than I could have done though so for me your bad day would have been a great day!
Don't worry about it, Matt! We all have those kind of days, especially on the golf course! I know how you feel though, you get excited to play a nice course and everything just falls apart. Great job looking at the positive aspects though! Truly, that's not always easy to do! Considering you were wearing a coat I would guess it was pretty cold, and being cold and swinging a club makes it so much harder to be relaxed. Tense muscles + golf swing = pulls, pushes, fats, and thin shots galore!
Caddied the ‘tournament layout’ last qualifying back in 2019 and I have to say it mixes the best of both courses, 7 holes from Torrance (10th, 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th played in this vid) and 11 holes from Kittocks. Looking forward to seeing the scoring this year, not an easy test!
I’d love to see you trying the qualifying, there’s no doubt about it you have the ability and the talent. You did +5 when you’re head wasn’t in it. Never leave the ‘what if’ out there.
mate, full gangster puffa jacket that you won't be wearing in June, bodywarmer maybe will free the arms, make your plans for Open quals dude, you gotta be in it to win it
You got a great day. I played the Castle course a couple of weeks ago in an absolute gale. On playing the qualifier, I vote to go for it. You never know when everything will come together; and, you only get so many shots at playing in a major.
Hey Matt. Good assessment at the end, but I wouldn't beat yourself up too much on your game. Its incredibly hard to play in Cold weather like that The few times I have tried, it wasn't enjoyable and my body certainly wasn't able to do my normal swing. Even on the duffed pitch... I love that you just laughed off the frustration instead of getting angry over it. Keep up the great work mate, looking forward to next video!
I'm gonna say this BEFORE i watch the video . Go for it Matt ! Play in the qualifier no matter what . You never know how you'll play in a qualifier , until you do ? You got one life my friend , take chances , push yourself ! Now , i'll see how you play 😉
10:22 the best laugh i've ever heard on a golf video in my life ! Well struck Matt. A little too much pressure on yourself at the first maybe ? But in fairness who wouldn't feel the same way right !! I say go for anything you can, you never know when the golf gods will smile down on you ! Cheers Matte !!
Keep your head up Matt. Need to do the Tiger cross the line way of thinking and that would have helped alot today. I definitely think you should try for the open qualifier as every day is a new day and you are way better than how you did on this video.
Gutsy! Entrails out for all to see makes for great content. Was barracking for you . When ur viewers live or die with each shot you play, you know you've made it as a RUclipsr; and likely as a person as well.
Not gonna lie I couldn’t stop laughing the first 3 holes lmaooo “my god that is so far right” we’ve all been there sorry it was at your expense Fryer 😂😂😂😂
bad luck today Matt, you hit some good shots and some bad. don`t let it get you down. now is the time for some serious practice to sharpen up your skills, I know you have it in you. As for your bogey scores don`t worry, with more practice you will make the cut. and remember even tour pros can have bad days/rounds. I remember watching a pro tournament and one player ( don`t remember who ) shot a 14 on a par 4 and all the world could see, chin up mate. thanks for another great video

Bad day at the office...we all have them .
Fairplay to you for keepin going.

Your worst is the same as my best. That course is brutal. Good vid

I would absolutely love to see you in open qualifying. love the videos
Thank you for this Matt! Perfectly exemplifies the game of golf!

You have to love golf to endure the ups and downs. Such a beautiful view you had while playing that incredible course . Just keep swinging.
I know I shouldn't laugh at someone's painful round of golf because I've had enough of them myself, but.... thanks for sharing your round. Always enjoy your content and I know you're a better golfer than this round.
Thanks David
Beautiful course
It sure is

Yes play if possible you never know ⛳🇺🇸
I would love to watch some open qualifying attempts on video. Would be fantastic if you and Finch get on!
That would be the dream
Great content Matt, as always! And what a beautiful place to play 'bad' golf!
Well done, Matt. Tough day with your swing, but that course looked gorgeous. I'm happy you had the opportunity to get out and play! Keep your chin up and play.
Go for the OPEN!!! Love the attitude and keep the content going. Love these type of vlogs.
Just look at it this way Matt. If you go to qualifying, you know what the trouble areas are hahaha hell of uh game golf is
Yeah good spin on it 👍
Great video shows the good and bad parts of a golf round and why we all love and hate golf but can’t leave it alone
Great video, loved the par on the third. Go for the qualifying!
Well done Matt so refreshing to see a golf video not edited the shit out of! so many edit so they look good! 1 average golfer on utube plays a lot in scotland, he seems tp par every hole ! he would have shot par today! lol...really enjoyed seeing "real" golf...well done Matt
Go for it, Matt!
Love the reaction when you holed the long putt!
One of your best uploads! Thoroughly enjoyed and empathized with this round. Well done again!
Fun to see you go through those ups and down feelings like all the rest of us.
Nice putt
you have absolutely no idea, how pleasing for us mear mortals, to see a pro like yourself struggling… so thank you
I'm 37 seconds into the video and I can already say, yes Matt, go for the Open!!!
Would love to see a RUclips legend show them a little something!
😂 Matt truly has a golfer's "relatable" day! 👍 The 90 foot birdie says its all 🤦♀
You should have said after the birdie "I love this game". What a game we all love. Good stuff Matt. A few years ago I think you might have thrown those clubs in the drink.
I played this course for my 65th birthday present. Fantastic place, brilliant course, views so special. I played off the yellows and scored 110. For 20 handicap golfer, I though that was pretty good. The weather was warm and no wind so that helped.
Sometimes you just have to laugh and keep going. Beautiful course and area, definitely on my bucket list.
Yes! Thank you for showing that golf is friggin hard!
Sorry Matt but the last hole that approach shot I couldn't help but burst out laughing 😂 just summed your day up. Keep up the good work.
That putt was worth the green fees 👏
Not your best golf to be fair but that's golf as you know. Loved seeing that massive putt drop for you.
Glad you enjoyed your visit to my home county of Fife.
Cheers
Go for it Matt. You have the game; you have to give it a chance.
Surprised you can swing with all those layers on dude! Sounds like you're dressed for the Antarctic!
Showed some great skill getting that ball out of the ditch, such control of a golf ball! Great vlog though, that course looks a complete brute!
Matt I think when Finch is around you play better, maybe do open qualifying together? You'll both make it then ;-)
You certainly showed great fighting spirit on a marvellous and challenging course in difficult conditions.
Of course you go for the qualifier!! Good luck!
"I don't want to brag, but I hit one where I wanted" 😂 good on ya for showing us a bad day. Your score was significantly better than I could have done though so for me your bad day would have been a great day!

I clicked this so quickly not because I wanted to see a pro struggle but because golf is hard and we love the game. Well done Matt. 🤜⛳

This made me feel better about my own game. thanks
go for it
I’d love to see you trying the qualifying, there’s no doubt about it you have the ability and the talent. You did +5 when you’re head wasn’t in it. Never leave the ‘what if’ out there.
A true hidden gem. Played it in 2017. Absolutely loved my round and my caddie Stevie was brilliant.
lucky you able to play in the world best golf course. thank for the content matt. zam from kuala lumpur.
golf bites back. we've all been there.
Just had to pause the video to say what was that putt! That's got to make you smile regardless of what happened before it. Cheers!
Yep crazy game
Now you know how us mere mortals feel every week!!!
mate, full gangster puffa jacket that you won't be wearing in June, bodywarmer maybe will free the arms, make your plans for Open quals dude, you gotta be in it to win it
+3 that was the funniest part of the video! 🤣
You deserve a spot in the Open just by getting through this round without a *bleep*
🤣🤣🤣
I feel ya pain Matt, this sums up how I play when all excited to play somewhere nice 🙈
Yep it's great isn't it haha
Where did you get a plus 3 handicap from ? EBay ?? 😆
You got a great day. I played the Castle course a couple of weeks ago in an absolute gale. On playing the qualifier, I vote to go for it. You never know when everything will come together; and, you only get so many shots at playing in a major.
Yeah the winds were up to 40mph during the day it was crazy

Love this kind of content. What are your current swing thoughts, Matt?
Matt just go for the qualifyer! at the very least it'll be an experience to remember. FInchy does it all the time!! take a crack at it
Played a blinder on the 15th, that's golfing for yer, makes the good games seem better. Great vid dude ⛳🏌️♂️
Go for glory and attempt Open qualifying!!!!!
Just loved the Birdie,,, pretty much "thats golf". 🤣
Yep sure is
"I think I'd struggle to break a hundred" - welcome to my world! And, quite a lot of racket abuse at the start - again, that's me also!!! Nice video.
Go for it Matt. You got a eye on the course and how it plays.
He has to get there first. Theres a round of regional qualifying to get through
@@sandersson2813 ohh I thought this was were the qualifying was the way he was talking. Fair point
@@Jenksgav Regional, then final.
I’ve been where you were on 18, Matt…when you get to the point where you just have to laugh, because sometimes it’s just not your day 😂😂
YES GO FOR IT MATT!!!!!!
Thanks Steve 💪
You are playing from the tips, in the winter well done Matt!
I'm gonna say this BEFORE i watch the video . Go for it Matt ! Play in the qualifier no matter what . You never know how you'll play in a qualifier , until you do ? You got one life my friend , take chances , push yourself !
Now , i'll see how you play 😉
Absolutely Matt go for it!!
Thanks for the support think I will
10:22 the best laugh i've ever heard on a golf video in my life ! Well struck Matt. A little too much pressure on yourself at the first maybe ? But in fairness who wouldn't feel the same way right !! I say go for anything you can, you never know when the golf gods will smile down on you ! Cheers Matte !!
Thanks for the support Cam 💪
Absolutely go for it ! I have faith in you !!
Thanks for the support
You got this Matt! Let's see Fryer on the players field
the question Matt isn't whether we want you to try and qualify for the open. But whether or not you want to. Keep up the great content
You could hear the moment Matt left his sanity aside, wedge into the last hole. Please enter qualifying, you do can definitely do it, +3!!
Keep your head up Matt. Need to do the Tiger cross the line way of thinking and that would have helped alot today. I definitely think you should try for the open qualifier as every day is a new day and you are way better than how you did on this video.
Gutsy! Entrails out for all to see makes for great content. Was barracking for you . When ur viewers live or die with each shot you play, you know you've made it as a RUclipsr; and likely as a person as well.
Thanks that means alot
Nice put Matt! Course looked amazing.
GO FOR IT MATT!!!!!
Thanks Joe
Love your videos watching you and Rick shields ....
Good luck man u got this
Good luck Matt 👍🏌️
Not gonna lie I couldn’t stop laughing the first 3 holes lmaooo “my god that is so far right” we’ve all been there sorry it was at your expense Fryer 😂😂😂😂
I thought you were in a bad mood in Ricks recent video, now I know why haha you did great man you'll get it!
I know a great coach....your Dad that pitch on 18 reminds me of someone.....me
Looks great matt great content mate 👍
Great, honest video
That's golf Matt!
One of these days in golf.....🤯
I played today extremly good😎
Today is tomorow yesterday🤷🏻♂️
bad luck today Matt, you hit some good shots and some bad. don`t let it get you down. now is the time for some serious practice to sharpen up your skills, I know you have it in you. As for your bogey scores don`t worry, with more practice you will make the cut. and remember even tour pros can have bad days/rounds. I remember watching a pro tournament and one player ( don`t remember who ) shot a 14 on a par 4 and all the world could see, chin up mate. thanks for another great video
Thanks for the support
Every dog has its day ! We are only human ! Challenges galore, keep at it !
Thanks Scott 💪
Played there loads,whatever tees you play off,it's always been an extra club into greens,tough course .
Go for open qualifying. It would be a blast watching what it would take to prepare for it!
Just started the video, but I say go for it!
Love it Matt
Love the content, sir! Keep it up!
