    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 🏌️‍♂️

    Lesser channels would have never shown this video the light of day, which speaks massively to why this channel is so popular.

    Early in the round...swing pace beautiful & relaxed ...driver swing plane flat giving you a push slice with the face open at impact...lift your arc & stay down..When exasperation kicks in, then you come over the top and slice properly...but if you stay down...a straight pull. With your irons you're crowding the ball and pulling ... Watch your vids in slow motion. Easy fix....confidence will return

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!

    Keep going, Liam. I have been on a bad path for the last 6 months but the game is starting to slowly come back. Once the confidence improves you will get a big lift. At least you know there is a good golfer in there.

    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 😁

    Classic video. Trying to correct a fault on the course is so difficult. Happens to the best. Good of you to share.
