    100% one of the best videos on the channel. Not only shows the honesty and truth of a competitive round of golf, but also allowed us to see the whole of Chorlton in order.
    Lesser channels would have never shown this video the light of day, which speaks massively to why this channel is so popular.
    Would love to see more like this. 👍🏻

    Liam. Please do more videos of your comps (if allowed). This is in the top 3 vids you’ve done. Anyone who’s played comps before knows the pressure it brings compèred to playing with mates. So easy and relaxing with mates but a comp is tough. Also, I had the same issues with our greens the other week.. the whole country has had it too judging by the lack of rain we had in April. Keep up the great work 🏌️‍♂️

With your irons you're crowding the ball and pulling ... Watch your vids in slow motion. Easy fix....confidence will return

    Liam, you are to be congratulated for having the guts to post this video. It sums up the frustration of competition play . . how difficult it is to maintain consistency, hole to hole, round to round, week by week etc. But most importantly, you demonstrated a positive attitude right to the end (I bet your playing partner appreciated it), identified where your play needed attention AND there is always NEXT TIME!

    Mate! We're all golf mates here, no trolls. I had the same thing last Thursday, everything went wrong for me. Thins, fats, snap hooks, the lot. Walked off the course totally dejected, especially as I was going to be playing on Sunday on a new course for my friend's birthday.
    So I did two things, first of all I watched Danny Maude's latest video and he had a brilliant tip (highly recommend watching the vid) which seemed to pull me back on track. The other thing I did was put down my driver.
    Ended up playing the best round of my life on Sunday! Got a 14 over 51 which is my record and life is great again! Hang in there mate, you'll be back and keep that smile on your face 😁

    Liam love watching you play and thumbs double up for recording the good (Woodhall Spa - on fire that day), bad and ugly. Not easy to watch as you can see your confidence ebbing away and we have all been there. SO hard to stop the rot actually mid round once it sets in. But it's just confidence. You'll be back! Thank you, as ever

    Head up Liam, everyone has a rough patch and like you say, keep playing. Don’t worry if there are negative comments but stop letting them get in your head, you can’t please everyone. Focus on the support you do have on here instead! I’ve just scrolled through 60 comments and it’s full of support from what I could see, take that energy.
