Those of you that haven't - give the lad a boost and subscribe - I can see that 8.1k have viewed butu only 3.65K subs - it's great genuine content and if you watch, you are interested in golf, and in which case support this chap putting it all out there! I can identify with this so much as I'm 28 handicap right now, came in today after a grey and cold day and scored 25 over 18. Yep.
Ah cheers mate, I really appreciate that comment. I put a lot of effort into the videos so it’s nice to get comments like this as it makes the hard work worth it. And with the subs, it might seem like a small gesture but it makes such a massive difference in helping to grow the channel so thanks for trying to encourage others to hit that button 👍🏻
@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper You are welcome! I don't understand why people don't subscribe to a channel if they watch the content - it's common courtesy IMO - keep playing!
I will indeed - cheers mate 👍🏻
High handicap golf is my happy place! Enjoyed watching your video. Strangely therapeutic :)
Happy to hear it Jonathan. I’ll have my next video out soon so I hope to see you again for your next therapy session 😂
I'm a high handicapper as well and really appreciate your mental game. Emphasizing there positive, keeping your head in it and not getting frustrated.
The key is to enjoy playing golf, and thanks for sharing your enjoyment!
Cheers mate, glad to hear you appreciate the mindset. When I first started playing I wasn’t always like that, I would get very frustrated at a poor shot or be in a bad mood after a poor round but I’ve learned just to take the good with the bad and enjoy being out on the course regardless. I also think that mentality actually helps you to play better too.
Thanks for watching and good luck with your golf game 👍🏻
Really good watch thanks for taking the time to make it. Heads up with the golf some really good things there ;-)
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 😃 And thanks for the thanks 👍🏻 That’s really appreciated. I hope you continue to enjoy my channel 😃
Rathsallagh like many courses went through a bad time, but a year ago or so they got a new green keeper etc and this course is a absolutely delightful now. Cant wait to get back there it's a tough course so very well done
Yeah I love it down there. This was my 4th time playing so it definitely helped that I knew the course. The greens are superb, and although we had had a lot of rain the night before, they were still in great condition when I played it. And thank you 👍🏻
Very nice to see some one making a video of a normal golfer instead of scratch golf, Keep it up,
Thanks Gordon, glad to hear you enjoyed the video 👍🏻 Will hopefully have more out soon. Thanks for watching
Bro that's a good video. Really nice to see a you tube golf vid from someone who is not sponsored by taylormade or showing tips that work for them and not everyone.
As a 23 handicaper, again, Really cool vid.
Cheers.
Cheers mate, I really appreciate that 👍🏻 I try and keep the content as natural as possible. Nice to hear when people find it enjoyable

Over home most years but never played golf over there. From Wicklow/wexford/Carlow borders so a wealth of excellent courses not too far. Not played in years but all this RUclips golf has got me itching to get the clubs out of the garage. Keep it up, those sweet hits are addictive
Cheers mate, I really appreciate the sub and the thanks for the positivity 👍🏻 glad you enjoyed the video. You’ll have to dust off those clubs and get back out there. Particularly with those counties that you mentioned, some absolutely cracking courses on your doorstep ⛳️
Well done mate. I play off 27 too so know exactly how you feel. You did play some lovely shots and breaking 100 is always welcome and 37 points is pretty good too. Looking forward to seeing your progress. All the best.
Cheers mate, thanks for the positive comment 👍🏻 I felt this was the best round I played in a long time in terms of ball striking so was reasonably happy. Just one too many little mistakes but I’m happy I can reduce them in time. Thanks for following my channel, always nice to hear from people off a similar handicap as I know they feel my pain 😂
I'm a newer player and currently have a handicap of 26. I absolutely felt it when your putts would roll right next to the cup and not drop. You had a lot of great shots as well man. Good video and I can't wait to see more videos with improvement over time. Cheers!
Hi mate, thanks so much for the positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video 😀 Those putts are a killer but all part of the game, on another day they’ll all drop 🤞🏼 Hopefully you continue to enjoy my channel and best of luck with your golf, I’d love if you’d keep me updated on your progress 👍🏻
Another beautifully shot video, what a fabulous course. You are definitely spoilt over there in Ireland. When the weathers good, it’s got to be the best golfing country in the world.
Good luck with your channel, I think it’s great!
Thanks Russel, delighted you’re enjoying the videos. And yes, we’re absolutely spoiled over here. For a relatively small island we’re absolutely spoiled with the sheer number of quality courses on our door stop. I can see why it’s so popular as a destination for overseas golfers 🏌🏻♂️
Great imagery and audio. Nice to see good quality high handicap content.
Thanks a million Tony, delighted to hear that you enjoyed the content 👍🏻
Just hit two 99s in a row and am over the moon. Great to see you back out and about. Keep on trucking! Golf is hard and you will defo get to where you want to be. Looking forward to your next one.
Thanks mate. I always say to people that with golf, your bad rounds are other peoples best ever rounds so I try not lose perspective of that. It’s all relative. I can still remember the first time I ever broke 100 I was over the moon. Congrats on both of those rounds. Always nice to have back to back consistency.
I already have the next round filmed so just need to edit it now and will hopefully have it out in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for watching mate 👍🏻
Looks a lovely course - and an entertaining (and very relateable) presentation :)
Yeah it’s really nice. Just a great parkland with very interesting routing 👍🏻 And glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching Paul 👍🏻
This round felt more like an 89 and not a 99. Eliminate those mental mistakes and youve got a solid round going. Not only is the golf getting better, but so is the editing. See ya next round! 🍻
Thanks mate, I thought so too. Just gave away too many strokes stupidly in good positions. But probably played 13-14 holes really well 👍🏻
Glad there’s a noticeable improvement in the editing. I’ve been putting a lot of work into them so nice to see it is noticeable 😃
Gosh, it's scary that a bloke that good has a 27 handicap! 😂
First video watched. Well played and what a beautiful course.
Thanks for watching mate. Hopefully you enjoy a few of the other videos. And I really enjoyed that course 👍🏻
Another great watch mate keep them coming. Love your accent. Lots of trees. 3s. 😊😊
Cheers Gary, glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed that round myself. Haha and thanks, we’re allergic to H’s over here in Ireland 😂🍀
Well done pal , keep the faith love the relaxed attitude and the course looks great ⛳️👌
Thank Neil, I appreciate the support. I now just try and enjoy the round, good or bad. Made all the easier when you’re on a beautiful course. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Great to see you back playing, another great round
Thanks Martin, really enjoyed this round. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
This was awesome. Nice to see the other side of the golf world.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 😃 Thanks for watching 👍🏻
If you have not had a playing lesson get at least one. I credit them highly for my first and second season improvements.
Loving the video and now subscribed!
Hi mate, firstly glad to hear you enjoyed the vid and thanks a million for the sub, it’s very much appreciated 👍🏻
I’ve actually never had a playing lesson. I’ve had a few conventional lessons but really should get round to getting a playing lesson. Cheers for the reminder 👍🏻
I haven' t played in 10 years but somehow now got the idea that I should start once again this spring. I was half decent but I know that this is what awaits me. Love your attitude!
Cheers mate, glad you appreciate the attitude 👍🏻 I wouldn’t be so certain that my level of abject performance is what awaits 😂 I only took the game up about 3 years ago in my thirties. I find that anyone who played semi decently when they were younger, quickly get back into the swing of things🏌🏻♂️So go get those clubs out of the attic my friend 😃
Step one is cleaning out the attic to make a path, I think I know where they are @@DiaryofaHighHandicapper 😅
In that case, I’d leave them in there 😂
I just found your Channel and Subscribed! You played well for your handicap! Well done, sir.
I live in Utah, USA and my wife and I went to Ireland at the beginning of October and feel in love with people and the beauty of your country. I can't wait to look at your other videos and look forward to many more.
Thanks for the sub Dave and the positive feedback, very much appreciated 👍🏻 Delighted to hear you enjoyed Ireland ☘️ I know I’m biased but I adore Ireland so always nice to hear visitors have had a good time. I hope you continue to enjoy the channel and hopefully I’ll see you in the comments again 👍🏻
Love this content, keep it coming
Cheers Robert, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Loved the vid mate! Some great shots there!😃👏
Cheers mate, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
"I don't want to talk about it too much in case I scare it off." That one made me laugh, Jamie. I can tell you, as a 3 handicap, that I still have that feeling when things are going well. Afraid to jinx it! Solid round here.
Well it’s good to know it’s not just a high handicapper thing 😂 Honestly, I’m just so conditioned now to not talk about my game at all because when I do it always results in catastrophe. Sometimes when I’m playing with strangers, and I start well, they’ll ask me “what did you say your handicap was again?” and no sooner do the words leave their lips, my game turns to absolute 💩😂
And thanks. I thought I played quite well, i was just a bit sloppy in places. Definitely the best I’ve struck the ball in a long time.
Thanks for watching Daniel, much appreciated 👍🏻
every credit.......not afraid to show your bad aswell as your good shots keep the train going its a nice journey.....😊😊😊😊😊
Cheers mate, appreciate the support 👍🏻
You’ll definitely get down to a 18 handicap. Probably lower than that for sure. Consistent pitching saves so many shots. Great vid, keep smiling 👍🏌️
Cheers mate, appreciate the kind words. I’m still keeping the faith and if worse comes to worse and I don’t get down, at least I will have had lots of fun trying 😄 Thanks for watching mate 👍🏻
Love the videos……keep the good work up..👍
Cheers mate, glad you’re enjoying the content 👍🏻
Excellent video and an excellent philosophy towards your handicap. Well done!
Thanks mate. I no longer put pressure on myself in terms of handicap, if it happens it happens 👍🏻 I just love golf regardless.
And thanks for watching 👍🏻
As a fellow high handicapper well done mate keep it up
Cheers mate, appreciate the support 💪🏻
Great video mate! What a beautiful course
Thanks mate, much appreciated 👍🏻
Well played
Cheers Sean 👍🏻 Thanks for watching
Reminds me of me playing,some great shots and some bad shots
It literally sums up every round I play 👍🏻
Oh and I’ve subscribed to see how your improving
And thanks a million for the sub. Makes such a massive difference to the channel and it’s much appreciated 👍🏻
Fair play from another high handicapper .. we just need to get out more (a lot more!)
That’s what I keep telling myself anyway 😂
Get back out there and keep the videos rolling, the birdies will come
Cheers mate, have been playing a couple of rounds here and there but the weather has been far too bad to film lately. Hoping to record a new video though this weekend 🤞🏼
Hey, Keeping it real. Nice round
Cheers mate, much appreciated 👍🏻
Well done....Rathsallagh looks like a nice track must try and play it when weather improves. Just a few bits of advice (hope you don't mind me saying it..) 1. You tend to keep your weight on you right side a bit when hitting ball try and shift your weight more to your left side when striking the ball. 2. Bunker play longer back swing hit a inch of so behind ball and commit to the shot. You are well able to strike the ball I see no reason why you can't be "Diary of a Mid Handicapper" 👍
Thanks very much Jeremy. Appreciate the positive feedback 👍🏻
I’m terrible for shifting to my right hand side and staying there. Sometimes I go out and pretty much keep all my weight on my lead side throughout the swing (I know this is technically incorrect also) and the difference it makes in terms of my ball striking. Not sure why I don’t just do it all the time 🤷🏻♂️
Rathsallagh is beautiful, particularly in the summer time. I play it 2-3 times a year so would definitely urge you to get out there. Tee times are usually decent enough even on weekends.
Thanks for watching Jeremy and I hope you continue to enjoy my channel 👍🏻
Hey man I think better club selection from that 130-160 range might benefit you a lot. I lowered my handicap about five strokes by taking a 7 iron form 140 instead of a nine and only having the thought of "just make good contact" in my head! Also, decide 100% on what type of shot shape you want to hit and what hazards you want to avoid or flight the ball over if you are shaping it before you even step up to the ball! Keeping it in play with that mindset is super important! Keep your head up out there and try to have fun, I think a lot of us struggle in that department 🤣
Thanks mate.
My normal thought process is 8 Iron for 140, 7 Iron for 150 and 6 Iron for 160. Then I'll take into account wind, slope, flag position, and what part of the green I'm aiming for etc.
For example, it might say 140 to a back pin but I might take 9 Iron as I'm actually aiming for 130 with some run out.
Thanks for the feedback and watching the video. I always try to enjoy myself regardless of how I play. I just try and enjoy being out on the course.
Just found your channel mate. Loving the content. Im a new golf i started around early September im currently hcp 22.4. i can certainly relate to a great shot followed by a shanked shot 😂. What do you use for you shot tracking and i assume you use a tripod, do u have dedicated camera or using your phone? You earned a like and sub 👍
Hi Daniel, glad you’re enjoying the content and cheers for supporting the channel 👍🏻 I pay a subscription for the shot tracer app, I’m not sure if there are any other ones there. At the moment I’ve just been using my phone, I find it the handiest. I do have a tripod but mostly I just use a little phone attachment for my trolley 👍🏻
New viewer & subscriber. This is like watching me!!! Good stuff.
Hi mate, thanks a million for the sub, much appreciated 👍🏻 Glad you can relate to the content but you have my commiserations that you have the same golf struggles as me 😂
My struggles are mostly topping fairway shots and just getting to the green. Sure eats up a lot of strokes!! I'll be looking for your improvements & good luck! It is a great game.@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper
Thanks mate. For what it’s worth (which is probably zero 😂), I found my topping struggles were all to do with swinging too hard and fast. Once I slowed it down a bit, I very rarely top it anymore. Thanks for the well wishes and best of luck with your game too 👍🏻
I noticed your rushing your shots. Take time, have a few practice shots before hitting the ball. If you do this going forward your HC will come down, because when your connecting your a descent golfer. Good video buddy 😊
Yeah for some reason I tend to move pretty quickly from practice swing into my actual swing. Sometimes i need to remind myself to stop and breath for a sec. Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Really enjoyed that mate. Had my first round a few weeks back at Portsalon Donegal (hidden gem) scored a 112. Practicesd a good bit up at he range over and since covid. Looking forward to getting out and trying to break 100. You're managing that with ease 👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻 I’ve yet to play in Donegal but I’ve seen lots of the courses and the look absolutely incredible so very jealous you got to play there. Well done on your round. Keep plugging away and you’ll break 100 for sure. I always try and keep my rounds in perspective now because it wasn’t so long ago I would have bitten your hand off to be shooting a 99 so now I don’t get too disheartened regardless of what I shoot. It’s just nice to be out playing golf. Keep up the good work mate and thanks for watching 👍🏻
woah you're different, that 8 iron for 144 yards was sick! i was low in my first season, i would have gone 6 iron. nice hit,.
Cheers mate, appreciate the compliment 👍🏻
Really enjoying the video, fair play chief. Am just through the 11th hole. As others have mentioned - you've a great attitude. I love when you big up one of your own shots - we Irish can be too self deprecating at times and I think that's a great way to keep yourself going strong. I used play Rathsallagh very regularly when I lived in Dublin, but haven't played there in over 10 years. One of my favourite courses, myself and my buddy used call it our ancestral home (we weren't joined anywhere in those days).
Mind if I ask though - when was the video actually recorded? I thought they had re-routed the place, and added a new par 3 between the old first (what you played as the first) and old second. From what I heard, the 10th (as you played it) is now the first.
Hi Mate, thanks a million. Glad you're enjoying the vid 👍🏻 I try and remain positive as much as I can and that includes celebrating the little wins 🏆 When I first started playing, I think I was too hard on myself and didn't appreciate how tough golf can be. So now I just try and enjoy being out on the course and take the rough with the smooth.
The video was recorded on August 8th 2023 and features the "New" routing. I only played the course about 2 years ago for my first time and the routing back then was different to it now in the video. I don't know what it was like 10 years ago but perhaps it has gone back to the original routing?
The big changes from when I played it 2 years ago to now are that the 1st and 10th have swapped. The 10th used to be the opening tee shot. The 2nd also used to be a par 3 over water (which I really loved). However, this is now the 7th hole and you tee off from a completely different location. They have taken the water out of play which I think is a bit of a pity.
@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper That's interesting. It sounds like they have indeed changed it again. When I used play it, the first was the one you played - the par 5. The 10th was the one you played as the 10th, down the hill.
What you mention as being a par 3 2nd hole - from what my buddy told me (who played it when it was changed, but I didn't) ... they put a new tee box in on the walk between 1 and 2 which played to that green as a par 3. You played it in your vid as the 7th, but I'd say .. from memory, the tee box is on other side of green to where you were playing from before?
So it does sound as if they have changed it back. So far the course is as I remember it - will watch remaining holes in a bit when I have a bit more time.
The following is from the main page: "Rathsallagh Golf Club reopened in June 2016 having been brought back to its previous splendour after 18 months of hard work and investment under new ownership. The magnificent course, which first opened in 1994, was designed by Peter McEvoy and the late Christy O’Connor Jnr. It sits in beautiful parkland near Dunlavin Co Wicklow with mature woodland lining all the fairways.
Over the years it has challenged and delighted golfers of all abilities. In September 2017, the course was reconfigured so that play begins and ends in front of the clubhouse and a new Par 3 hole was built in the woods between the old 1st and 2nd holes bridging a small river. The old 10th hole (index 1) is now the opening hole - so the ‘wow factor’ is evident right from the very first shot. The re-routing occurs during the middle of the game and players will intertwine the ‘old’ back and front nines for a totally fresh experience."
So that sounds a bit more like what it was when you played it first, and what my buddy mentioned had changed.
Yes, that blurb from the main page sounds exactly like how I played it first before the rerouting 👍🏻
18:15 "That's the worst shot I've hit today." 18:30..."Oh guys...." lol relatable my man.
😂 When I saw these timestamps I knew exactly what they’d be 😂 An absolute horror show 😱
Cheers for watching mate 👍🏻
I think that’s a really good round Jamie even if the 99 doesn’t look as good on the scoreboard. 37 points is very decent and you were flushing a fair few shots, your putting apart from one looked good and that means your strike on the face is getting better. Really enjoy the videos and can’t wait for the next lovely looking Irish course!
Keep it going mate 😄👍👍
Thanks Stephen, I was pretty happy with how I played. Just 3-4 bad holes maybe cost me a very good score. But as long as I can feel improvement, I don’t mind.
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it mate. Next one is already filmed it, just need to edit it now 👍🏻
Looking forward to it 👍👍
Cheers Stephen 👍🏻
I don't think I've ever hooked a shot, now slice, yes, all the time
Yeah I tend to hook my irons but slice my driver 🤷🏻♂️ For some reason I tend to close the club head at impact so that it’s facing very far left. Might be more of a pull than a hook
Course.looked great
Glad you thought so. I really liked it. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
hello from france. you are simple and natural, i like it. thank you for your videos. i am around your handicap, hope it will help me to understand some things.
Hi Stephane, thank you for the very nice message 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully it helps you. Good luck with the game 🏌🏻♂️Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I think your easy going attitude on not minding if your handicap improves or not is what will actually help improve your handicap. Too many people get stressed if they don’t play well and worry too much about score during the round and that’s what actually stops them scoring better.
Thanks Ryan. I was one of those people you’ve described when I first started and I soon realised that it puts far too much pressure on yourself and makes enjoying golf virtually impassible. So now I just try and enjoy my round, good or bad, and let the scoring look after itself. I’ve seen loads of improvement in myself (even if others haven’t 😂) since I first started so that keeps me happy. Thanks for watching mate 👍🏻
Wonderful video and extremely well edited and put together. New subscriber here 👍👍
Thanks very much mate, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the vid and I hope you enjoy the channel 👍🏻
Graphics are very good…✊
Thanks mate, much appreciated 👍🏻
oi we da same! you went hard with that 9iron, but i woul have nice hit a 6 iron at 136 yards :P
Thanks for watching mate, hopefully you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
Need to take the bunkers!!!
Assuming this is meant to be rake the bunkers, which I always do 👍🏻
99 and 37 pts is not to be sneezed at. Like the rest of us there were a few shots you'd like to forget but, overall, I think this is as good as I've seen you play. Nice work Sir.
Thanks Tom. I’m pretty much in agreement with you. I was slightly disappointed with the score because I felt like I played really well. I also think it’s probably the best I’ve played on camera so probably expected a better score. But I lost a couple of the tee, and duffed a few wedges but stamp that out and it would have been an excellent score. Happy with my form though 👍🏻 Thanks for watching
I think you may have just described a typical round of mine!
Haha Golf eh?
Beautiful game. It was hard to watch the ball next to the tree.
Even harder watching it in person 😂 Thanks for watching mate 👍🏻
I play off 20 and I really relate to your game. Have watched all of your content and your swing tempo was way better in this video (except the last hole where you lost it). Your putting looks really very solid. You need to work on a bunker technique. You can get a lesson but I applied RUclips tips and have massively improved my bunker play to the point where I am not concerned going in them anymore and this helps confidence with approach shots.
Like you I play too many really rank shots (often off the tee or from the middle of the fairway) which cost me but when on a roll I get comments around ‘how come you are playing off 20’. I always think wait a little while and you will find out; I never disappoint in that.
Love your content and your attitude.
Funny that I am playing tomorrow (its still winter here in Queensland) but warmer here than where you are in summer😂.
Yeah I really felt like my tempo was so much better this round. In fact, it felt like this was the slowest I've ever swung a golf club yet my distances had all increased. Although, when I watch the footage, it still looks quick, so maybe I need to go even slower 🤣 It just shows though, you don't need to swing hard to increase distance, it's all technique.
I hear ya in terms of people questioning your handicap. Many times I'll start really well, and I'm just waiting for the first comment. And then sure enough someone in the group questions my integrity or how my handicap is so high and I pretty much say the same as you - "You'll see" 🤣 I actually think when people make the comment, it derails me. I just wish they would let me play good golf 🤣
And I really do appreciate you following the channel, I always recognise your name when you leave a comment and they're always very positive so it's much appreciated 👍
This summer has genuinely been the worst in my memory in Ireland so maybe it was a good summer to have my first kid so I wasn't missing THAT much golf 😎 Better not be like this next year however 🤣
Enjoy the round tomorrow mate. Do us 20+ handicappers proud 🤣
lovely course, I would love to play there and come a little back to my roots (my mum left Dublin in 1954 getting married to a Dutchman) maybe one day, who knows ?
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. It’s a super course.
Well if you ever make it here let me know and I’ll gladly take you for a round 🏌🏻♂️
Thank you for watching as always 👍🏻
After hole 1 I thought: yet another of those "high" handicapers that destroys my 16 hcp..... After that, like 11 & 12 much more relatable :)
Haha 11 & 12 sum up my problems. I feel I could be a decent golfer, and play many holes quite well, but I’m always amazed at how quickly I can blow up a hole
you gotta club up! goign 140 wth 9 iron. I bet your 6 iron would have been spot on
The pin was at the back so I actually wasnt trying to hit it 140. Was aiming for a 135 shot into the middle of the green which would be a 9 iron for me. I hit my 6 about 160 so would have flown the green 👍🏻
Hi Jamie, just started following you on the channel. Nice stuff! Really inspired to go out and play more golf! May I know which app are you using to trace your golf shots? Thanks!
Hi Noel, thanks a million for the follow, I really appreciate it 👍🏻 I hope you enjoy the content. The app I use is called “shot tracer”. It should be the first one that pops up in the app store. There is a yearly subscription however 👍🏻
I’m off 24 and you are considerably better than me
Cheers mate. On my day I can play some pretty decent golf but just far too inconsistent
60th best in Ireland, top 10 most other countries!
Yep, we’re pretty blessed here in terms of courses ☘️
I wish I could hit my hybrid as well as you do. I just leave it at home these days. Lol.
Honestly mate I still have days where I go out and just cannot hit it. It’s a funny club 😂
Maybe I can play this game, famous last words of the armature golfer.
So many times I think I’ve cracked this game and within seconds I come crashing back down to reality 😂 Golf eh? 🤷🏻♂️
@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper I scored 90 for 18 the other day, 41 on front 9. Next round back to 100, then next round worse. The annoying thing is it’s not an average. I get more pars now but I get that 8 or worse a 9 that will pop up once or twice per round which just ruins the round. I don’t understand why some holes you forget how to play.
I feel your pain mate. I shot my best ever score of 88, walked off the course thinking I had cracked the game, and literally six days later I shot 104. A 16 shot swing in less than a week. And I was convinced I was doing exactly the same thing as when I broke 90. It’s a helluva game. I’m convinced I just go dumb for 33% of the round 😂
@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper I’m yet to break 90. It’s my summer goal. I guess no one would play it if it was easy. It’s a pretty good feeling when you smash a drive down the middle, flush an iron, chip in or sink that long putt.
Played better than the score indicates
Thanks mate, I thought so too. Suppose the few penalty strokes didn’t help 👍🏻
Add a bit more commentary...club selection and your thought process and you have a winning ticket!
Cheers mate, appreciate the feedback 👍🏻
Thought you struck the ball pretty good. Just some loose wedge play robbed you of a really decent score but very good to watch your round 👍
Thanks David, was happy with my performance overall, just gave away a few silly strokes. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Looks a great course but playing long with all that lush, long grass.
Really nice course mate and a fair bit of length 👍🏻
I'm quite new to golf, what is the scoring system called that you're using?
It’s called the Stableford scoring system 👍🏻
Ah sweet, thanks mate. Love the channel, keep it up 👍
Cheers mate, really appreciate that 👍🏻
What's with the number 6 in brackets? I thought maybe it was the stroke index of the hole but the 2nd hole still has it, fairly confusing.
It’s just my logo, designed to look like a double bogey on a scorecard I.e. High handicap golf
@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper ah sorry, now you've commented I see what you mean lol
Haha no worries mate. Thanks for watching the vid 👍🏻
Those 2 on the 6th. Lovely stuff. Why u go back and play
Absolutely. Gotta focus on the positives and its those shots that convince you there could be a golfer in there somewhere 😂
@@DiaryofaHighHandicapper that there is. It’s very hard to forget about bad shots but if u were a boxer and u throw a good punch u don’t think that was good. Just go to the next one.
Very true. Cheers mate 🥊
I play pretty much identical to this guy, make the same comments and excuses too.. lol
😂 Nice to know I’m not the only one struggling along 😂👍🏻
need to add extra club on each holes.
👍🏻
