ABOUT ME:
I’m Liam Harrison, Bolton born and bred. I’m a lover of Golf, life and laughter.
Started Golf 12 years ago after packing in football when i was 28 due to a back injury.
I started the RUclips channel as a laugh and a Wim, to make me practice but that went out the window as i started vlogging, loving being on camera but more so the interaction with my #golfmates.
In 14 months i have seen the channel evolve and become the only real golf community on RUclips which i am extremly proud of.
I would like to thank all the #golfmates that have been with us and supported us and the channel from the start. Also not forgetting our new #golfmates that may have only just come across the channel.
Great day and lots of valuable advise. Thanks liam. Really gonna practice hard and have a lesson on Tuesday to brush up on a few things. Awesome.
Richard Smith keep at it mate!! By the looks of it you’ll drop below 100 in no time! I was similar... still hit around 100 but went out and shot an 88 gross PB!! Since then I’ve seen a massive improvement in my game...
Your smash it rich great swing pal keep it up buddy 😃👍👊👏
Well done mate, brilliant vid! Impressive play and you now seem like a bunker pro from liams advice
Rich, the biggest thing I see, and I do not know if your back is causing this or not, but your abbreviated backswing is costing you a lot of distance, and possibly some accuracy on hitting the club face square. However, if it is your back responsible for that, one on the best things you can do is just work on your tempo. You'll be straightening it out in no time.
One of the biggest things that get in the way of good play by us amateur golfers is our ego. Most amateur golfers will hit their 3 wood as long, or almost as long as their driver, but with a lot greater accuracy. However, we just can't seem to do it when our mates are pulling out driver all the time. Whenever I have struggles with the driver, I leave it at home so I do not use it and am forced to use my 3 wood all day. I may not be as long as my mates, but my ball is almost always in play!
Good luck Golfmate!
Will be under 100 in no time at all looking at that Mr Smith.
By far Liam, this is the best youtube vlogs out there, down to earth real every day #golfmates doing what they love to do. Yes some are exceptional golfers, young and old, but there are a lot of us old chaps out there playing loving the game scoring in the 90's and 100's! Like you said, "Life is Life" and no one died! We all need advise at one time or another and I like your devotion helping your fellow #golfmates! Cheers! Wishing you the best Mr. Smith with your golfing!
Great to see Mr Smith on camera #Golfmate. Top European Tour Caddy earnt his fiver today. 👍🇵🇹
David Simmons cheers David
Haha 👌🏻☝🏻 that killed me David, I'd forgotten about that. Richard - You've got a pretty solid swing considering you haven't got an official handicap pal. Fair Play, keep at it rich.
@@bennythepitbull8421 I agree with you there
Does anyone else think a big lad like this with back trouble who can generate power with a short swift swing would really benefit from a set of regular graphite shaft cavity back clubs to make life easier on him and help with them slappy strikes,
Good luck with your future targets Richard I’m sure you’ll hit your goals with the right help, great video Liam I love this series of episodes it’s a great watch.
From one Mr Smith to another I am in the same situation as you. Bunker shots are the bane of my life. In front of the camera did very well.
Love these 100 breakers, we’ve all been there Mr Smith, I’m sure you’ve broken 100 by now and lowered your handicap 👍
Don't stop playing because the weather get's bad, use the time wisely and practice, practice, practice. Good starting point to get down to an 18 handicap within 1 year.
First things first, Mr Smith is a hero to go on camera and lay bare his soul. If he keeps that back swing, use a 3 wood it will stop that pull left and good luck big man
dave watts thank you mate
Richard is a great bloke and he will break 100 no problem, even with Liam caddying !! Great to see the Golfmates community working
Thank you
great video Liam,,
I have no doubt Rich, and most us watching this, will break 100 watching his next video & the great advice given,
cheers fella
I broke 100 yesterday....in fact 90 with one simple method.
Course management, keeping out of danger by using 5 iron off the tee, lining up and practice swinging before shots.
Super chuffed!!!!!
Mr. smith. I am positive you can easily break 100 and even 90 and even 80. You seem to be physically capable. Number one thing is stop coming over the top. Every shot that goes left is over the top. Fix that and your off to the races mate. You just have to start there. Then you can go on. I know you can do it. GOOD LUCK!!
Well done mr Smith. Slowing down your swing helps alot, tell yourself when you walk to the tee "nice and easy" a few times and it will give you that little bit more confidence
I just want to say that I for the first time ever yesterday I broke 100 with a 99 (handicap 28) 😁😁😁 at cleckheaton and district golf club which I must say is a beautifully amazing place to play. I did this purely due to watching, you (liam) and O.M.Ps traffic light system so it really works.
I really respect someone who will put themselves out there on camera for the world to see, hang in there big man one shot at a time forget the last one and have fun !!!!
Danny Alexander thank you
I see a lot of myself in you Richard and I’ve been playing for 40 years and I’m doing well to go around in 90. It’s taken me this long to make better club selections as per Liams advice to you and I’m improving more now due to more emphasis on course management. Good luck and you’ll break 100 no worries. Well done Liam as well.
Grant Hodges thank you I’m going to really try with the great advise
Hey Rich all the best fella. Try slowing your swing down and getting a smoother action. At the moment you're tending to snatch at the ball at the last minute, and that last minute change in swing speed is pushing you off balance and off line.
Slow everything down and don't be frightened of pausing at the top of your swing so you get a more deliberate and controlled downward swing. Get out once a week and practice for 1-2 hours because you can't change your game on the course. Practice is something we don't do enough and I'm certainly guilty of that.
Good luck, I'm sure you'll be pushing to break 100 hundred real soon.
Thank you, Richard, for showing your game (and mine) to the world. This was a great video and I learned a lot. Hopeful I also can use this to break 100.
Keven Smith good luck keven
Great advice. Getting close to breaking 100 myself and using these ideas.
Mr Smith did well. Liam Harrison sports psychologist.
My tip.. hit the shot you know that you can make and not the one that you think that you can.
Have a good weekend.
Cheers and thanks Golfmate.
Excellent at the tuition Liam. If you only charge a Fiver can I book 10 lessons!!
Well done Rich and Liam. Knowing Rich as I do, he beats himself up like he did on the golf day, he was worried he let me down. That's one reason he struggled that day. Another is club selection as Liam highlighted so well. I showed him how to use the core better, he does get wristy, but that is because of his back. Brilliant stuff Liam, I'm going to have a game with Rich in the next few weeks, hopefully before he sees you next time. I'll show him better club selection like you did here. I'll just play with 6 iron 8 iron and a few wedges and putter to show him we don't always need driver etc to break 100. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before Rich is shooting in low 90s. He just needs that go to shot we all have with experience and believe. Well done lads.
Keith Harris cheers Keith
Lessons from Keith Harris?
‘I wish I could fly’
‘You can’
‘I cant’
‘You can’
Lol
Orville joke
I hate that duck 😜
Mr. Smith, I think your best shots are produced when you get your weight transfering onto the left side through the shot. You have a tendancy to hang back a little and your accuracy suffers a bit. Added bonus youll probably pick up a few yards with more weight transfer!
Simon Dale thank you appreciate the advise.
Seems like a lovely fella!
I think he’s coming up out his posture too early but that might be him compensating for his bad back.
If he could stay down through impact and maybe slow his swing down a bit he could break 100 easy.
It’s all about getting rid of the wild shots, if u can keep it on the golf course you’re scores will improve dramatically. Good luck #golfmate
That’s really nice of you to help the lads out, I pick up tricks often watching you guys. OMP is the wizard still
Alignment sticks for Mr Smith. Line up like he is aiming at a flag and then put the sticks across his feet, I think you will find he aims right naturally and that’s why he pulls the driver left because of over compensation. 90% of the time is right hand side with irons from the fairway because it’s more relaxed, I used to do it, always felt I was aiming straight but was a long way right.
Got to love this golfing community you've made Liam. Fingers crossed and best of luck goes to Mr Smith. Biggest problem with playing golf No.1 Your mind playing games with you and followed by No.2 Trying to play like anyone else but themselves. #golfmates
Tell you what Rich, it's not easy when being watched but hats off to ya there. I think try to stick to your shorter clubs from 6 iron upwards. You will be surprised that you would probably get more distance from a clean hit on a 7 iron than a shakey 4 iron shot. Your short game looks pretty good, it seems to be the longer game that's affecting you. Play for bogey on every hole so you don't feel the need to smash it then you will break 100 no problem guaranteed.
Another thing that helped me is try not to hit hard. You actually get more distance from a smooth controlled swing. So no smashing it lol. Could even try playing a round with half or 3 quarter swing.
Free Tech thank you
It’s not easy being watched, but it may force you to concentrate more.
Well done mr. Smith . Looks like you have the right attitude and love for the game . A little Course management and confidence and you be at 90 in no time . Great video.
Todd Dowedite thank you Todd appreciate that
I believe you're right about course management and thinking about the shot. He also gets a bit quick like I do on the swing. I can't wait to see his round in a few weeks.
Good video. It’s nice to see someone help just because they want too. Your a good man .
As I’m a 20 handicapper myself I’m not going to pretend I know what I’m talking about but thinks I’ve learnt in my first year of playing golf and breaking 100 (and 90 once). Is to hit the shot you’re most confident hitting, a nice 150 yard 7 iron is much better than a duffed 120 yard 3/5 wood or long iron. And on holes less than 350 yards don’t hit driver unless it’s nice and wide and you’re swinging well. Most of all try and enjoy it, over 90% of all golfers in the world are high handicappers so don’t worry about it.
Adam Hepworth thank you
Positive thoughts on EVERY swing...I don't care if you're 5 off the tee after carving two OB...THIS is the only shot that matters...One swing won't ruin your day with a 20+ handicap, but one swing can lift your spirits and bring you back for more! Save the math for later!! At the end of the day, if you love the game, it'll love you back (sometimes it's tough love, though!! ) Honestly, save my full head of hair, I thought I was looking in the mirror LOL...Keep at it!!
Jon Glendye thank you
Regarding bunkers it seemed as though Rich dug only his heals down . So weight is on the heals almost entirely, and have the ball further forward to help you hit the sand first. Good luck pal and another great video Liam.
linski561 thank you
if Big Rich learns to get his lower body engaged, there is no telling how much further he can hit all of his clubs, he seems to have a great disposition, like a gentle giant, I would love to play with a mate like him everyday! I am sure he will break 100 soon and maybe even get to the 80's, he has enough athletic ability that he should be able to do that as well IMHO, great video and love to see these types of videos
Chris Lamb thank you mate appreciate that
The lowest score I've ever shot was one when every time I grabbed a driver I put it back and used a 3 metal instead. There's a great advantage to hitting your second shot from the fairway. A hard lesson to learn.
Best thing I have introduced to my game is using my 5 hybrid (rescue) on all shots just off the green. Once you get get used to how soft you need to hit it no miss hits and if you open club face you even get a bit if check :)
I'm the same rich have a few good holes then a blow up hole 7's on my card . Keep at it though it will get better. Liam another fantastic golf mates video. Where can I get some golf mates apparel?
Those were two very quality shots out of the bunker after just a 30 second tip. Breaking 100 is definitely in the cards. I think if Liam caddies for him and manages the club selection we could see Rick break 100 in no time.
MeKKan thank you his tips are priceless
Love your videos like this where you help average golfers. Keep ‘em coming!
Hi Liam down to earth golf,, I'm from York but now living in North Devon been here for 26 years have a good day
Great to see another golfmate on the channel Liam. Chris has great potential and will break 100 easily in the not too distant future. I look forward to seeing his improvement in future videos 👍
Love these videos. Best of luck Rich. My two cents is that your feet alignment is pointing right because you close your club face on impact. Practice makes perfect.👍👍
Patrick Comiskey thank you
Yep, I would say 25 handicap , game looks like mine ,still a 24 ,,,,and loving it! last three outings I shot 95-92-90 by moving to front tees on three different courses..
I’m always skeptical when someone says I’m a good chipper. Let’s be honest. Majority amateur golf, strokes are won and lost within 100 yards. And especially inside 50. When I’m teaching my mates to play, I love to start 100 in for a month. Before I put a 5 iron or driver in his or her hand. It just helps their future in golf tremendously. 🥃🥃cheers mate. Your truly a top bloke.
Ben Gonzales thank you for your comments appreciated
Absolutely fantastic this series of break 100 what a smashing golfmate rich is topnotch gents 😃
Darren Sturman you’re a gentleman saying this Darren thanks mate
@@richardsmith825 can't wait to have a knock with you pal keep up your hard work rich 😃👍👊
3 min in: Mr Smith needs to be on camera full time! He's an 8 handicap when being filmed! 5 min: Slow down and lengthen the backswing, use a german to pitch. Final thoughts: Spend hours practicing the sand and putting like "golf sidekick". Sink 10 putts before 1st tee and hear that sweet sound of the ball in the hole. Hands in front of the ball, trust the club loft to deliver, no need to scoop it. Play the OMP's traffic light system. Learn to lay up to your favorite and most reliable yardage to attack the pin from. I didn't notice your putter, hopefully it's a high MOI mallet with good alignment aids. Stripes on the ball for added line and swing clarity. You're a great golfer, be confident and envision great shots one at a time. If you blow a shot, leave it there! Your next shot will be great!
brucenoneyabusness thank you
great vid and well done Mr Smith. just keep playing like that and you will be fine.
David Wilson cheers
Throwing in a few golfmate visitors to your club is a great idea and also is helping us high handicap players out a lot cheers liam
Alan Woollett it was a great day
Brilliant video, this is what us high handicappers want to see, we'll pick up more tips from this kind of stuff than watching a pga pro hitting it miles with a perfect swing.
Keep it up golf mates , great stuff
Big balls to do that Rich...👍
Liam likes us Tykes really, it's 'cos we don't care what anyone thinks about us 😂
Awesome Rich! An inspiration and great comments Liam.
Another great video. I could do with some of your knowledge. I've been playing for 18 years on and off and have never broke 100.
Great video guys. Mr Smith...lovely guy and from what we’ve seen it will be easy.
Something I found helpful for putting, try to visualise another hole 18inches begins the actual hole. Ideal pace of putt is beyond the hole.
Best of luck golf mate. 👍🏻
Well done there rich, played some very nice shots. I would personally try and get that belt buckle rotating through towards the target. There's no follow through. Another good one I do is to swing through the ball and not at the ball if that makes sense. You'll break 100 easy
Great video Liam
A bit of practice, some more thought on club selection and Mr Smith will deffo break 100.
Question; how the heck can folk give this genuine vlog the thumbs down? A bloke trying hard to improve at golf and another bloke helping for free. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
Cheers from #500
Malcolm A. Thank you mate
Nice of you Liam to help fellow golfmates
Ok. Before i watch first swing. His low gross is 109 and his handicap 24 to 27. Does not compute or am i missing something? Ok. Now ill watch video. Thx
Great instructions Liam. Rich has much potential.
Casting Stones it is not an official handicap. It’s just what the lads I play with give me. I have never played to this handicap
@@richardsmith825 well, you are certainly capable of beating 100. Youll get there.
Good luck Rich. Best advice I can give is to take your medicine when you go into the rough and use your lofted club to move you out
Art Gianopolus yes I learned a big lesson there cheers
Some lessons won`t go to waste as he has a really tight swing. And give the man some hybrid clubs (thinking Adams or similar) with regular light-weight shafts and watch the magic happen. Cheers Liam!
Andre Van Zyl thank you
Great job Mr Smith. Well done Liam
One of the big mistakes most golfers make Liam is to play a round straight after a lesson or the day after, not having the time to put into practise what they have just been taught. But hats off to you mate for realising this and like you confident Rich will break 100 on his return.
Steve Surples thank you
@@richardsmith825 your more than welcome Rich, been there done that and got the shirt and still on the learning curve trying to break that 90. If your ever in the north west on a Sunday give me a shout and your more than welcome for a round at Wigan Golf Club. Keep it up mate and I am sure we can both smash our magic numbers.
Short game. Practice shots
Mr Smith that was some golf you played Liam you bring the best out of everybody great vlog ,
Learn your patterns while playing. all off your drives went left so aim up the right side. The next time you play you may not hit it left so aim with what your patterns are that day. Goes for irons as well
Gr8 video again Liam..
My 1st impressions would b for Mr Smith to work on tempo off swing. Hopefully the lesson your planning 2 take next wk will help with that!!!!!
Great vlog loving this page. my golf is just the same. i am a handicap 28 and the best thing i have learnt is to slow the back swing down, take your time and always try and plan your next shot. good luck in lowering your handicap Richard things can only get better.
Leave the driver at home. Try to get more body turn. I wear a foam sports back support in cold weather. It helps keep muscles warm.
Some great tips that I’m sure I’ll use. I’m a 31 handicapper (only started playing in May) and my best score is 104 but I average 108-110 regularly, I’d love join you for a round and you can throw some tips my way
Please take this golfmate out with you! Would love a game with you and the lads!
Liam, loving these vids with the tips. Been playing for just over 3 months, (watching you for all that time), so it really helps beginners like me. Any chance of a short vid explaining the scorecard?
Brilliant Liam. Love this series of breaking 100.
Anybody chance of a bunker lesson?!?
Tom Boston you are right 150 yards Ono the fairway beats 300 into the woods every time.
I see so much of myself in this video. I can't wait to get out there and finally break 100.
James Hill-Lonergan fingers crossed for you
Mr. Smith, Liam is a good golf mate.....plus he's good man!!!
Rocky Stellone he is the best. True gentleman
Great video, not being really flexible I started using a closed stance to help with turn. This might be something Mr.Smith might want to try.
Brilliant new videos with the golf mates!! Keep em coming!!
Play to your strengths, if happy and confident using irons, use them, keep the wood in the bag
Keep it up rich great bloke was in same four ball when I came to golfvlogs golf day in may I'm trying to break 90 this year
Mr. Smith, you have a good form. Listen to Liam, watch videos, and have fun. Swing U is an app on the phone I use and gives you your handicap. I have been playing since I was about13 years old. I will be 65 this dec.I tell myself, at a 14 to 17 handicap, I am not good enough to get mad at the game. Laugh and have fun, life is too short. Thanks Liam, great video.
Rich, think you're probably quite local to me. I'm a member at The Oaks, if you ever want a round at guest rates give me a shout.
rjdb_ 75 sounds great mate thank you. I will defo take you up on that.
Liam, obviously that goes for you as well.
Biggest thing is club selection in my non-golfer opinion. Work backwards from the hole. If you love the German...work backwards in distance to make sure you get the nine in hand on the approach shot.
Rich , mate, with your skill all you have to do is keep the ball in play. Don`t be over ambitious on a shot by shot basis. Shorter not short shots. Good luck.
William Hallard thank you, appreciate the comment
I think if he slowed his swing down and lengthened his back swing that would help alot. Apart from that just a but of course management he should break 100 easily. Keep it up fella 👍
Everyone reacts different to pressure. Some people crumble and can't put a score together, others play their best. Course and Game management is where its at. He has to think his way around and not get over confident, or overly critical of himself. Play the game and enjoy it.
Course management. Easier to see it differently when you have experience. But he has a great foundation it's just ironing out the consistency.
Well done Rich, defo backin ya to break 100 very soon....
Liam, great vid again, you cud make a bit of a career out of this, reckon i learnt a bit just watchin, nice 1 pal 👍👊
Mr Smith can easily break 100. I would suggest selective use of driver and ditch anything lower than 6 iron when hitting from the fairway or semi. I can see Mr Smith playing off 18 without too much effort. Good video and good luck!
Mr Kipling thank you
Rich has the same prob a lot of us have
We always want to play the right club but fail to play it properly especially the driver
The safe approach is the low score approach
Im glad you helped him liam but to be fair not everyone will suit the same sort of course management. Good on ya for giving him a bitta help though
That’s it. I’m coming over from 🇨🇦 to play in front of your camera
Great advise for any golfer, course management.
Really quick backswing with what looks like a lot of tension. Maybe think of the club like a hammer. You don't just move it as quick as you can, you have a rhythm. So don't think about slowing down or speeding up, think about the rhythm you need to hit the nail.
gl rich!!! hope ya break 100 soon mate :)
I honestly believe Mr. Smith shoots under 95 with the advice you've given him Liam. Good solid advice for a high handicapper. But Mr. Smith has a pretty nice compact swing. Less can go wrong with that type of swing as long as he concentrates on each shot....but don't over-think each shot. I've got a fiver on him shooting under 95! Cheers!
Tim Caldwell cheers mate
8:37 onwards is the number one biggest issue.....mental demons. Rich has got more than enough basic skills to break 100 regularly, but his brain won't allow him to. I couldn't break 90 for a about 18 months because I would talk myself out of it. If I got a good start it would be "well, it's all gonna go to shit soon" or a bad start..."well, that's my day over".
I found I could play well for 3, maybe 4 holes at a time, then the pressure I put on myself to not 'eff up caused mè to 'eff up.
So along with some OMP and Golf Sidekick course management tips, I developed my 3 hole strategy. Mentally, I just broke my round down to 6 x 3 hole mini rounds
I set a target for the first 3 holes, and then whatever happened I mentally wiped those 3 holes from my brain, and concentrated on reaching/bettering my goal for the next 3....etc, without EVER worrying about my overall score.
My handicap over the last 9 months has gone from 27 to 16, and my actual skills have only improved marginally.
It's a mental game...
Man Bearpig excellent thank you for the comments
Man Bearpig it sure is
great job guys! Use OMP's stop light system.
You will make a good teacher Mr H. ⛳️👍⛳️👍⛳️👍
Mr Smith looks like a powerful bloke. Might want to concede a little bit of power for accuracy/consistency.
He'll break 100 easy with a little practice and confidence building! My bet is 94.
