Sterling effort Bernie in very rough weather. Love these vlogs and for your total honesty. Your helping to make us ordinary hackers consider alternatives in difficult conditions.Talk about making it extra hard for yourself, going irons only. You've made me think about my next round in windy conditions, but I will definitely be putting a two iron in the bag for a few stingers and the extra yards. Cheers ...👏👏👏👍
Great vlog and definitely golf the hard way with a 4 iron as your longest club into that wind! Good to see the putter still working - keep up the great work!
This irons only game is a great experiment (I’ve thought about it a few times). You and that lab are looking like a great couple…. Maybe see if you can make it last, go to the opera together, perhaps a holiday and maybe we’ll hear wedding bells… with Dan as your best man! 😂 Tricky conditions, well played all !
That was a good idea to go out and try that! 4 iron was dialed in by the end! Tough conditions for scoring. The putter is looking pretty good overall as in you seem confident and the stroke looks the same almost all the time 👍🏻 Glad you mentioned slowing down the video early on as sometimes you can sound rushed when you do these voice over videos. Looking forward to more!
@berniebarnesgolf Was interesting to watch you plot your way around without woods, hitting flighted shots etc. Especially in that weather. Good stuff mate.
At least you are playing off grass I’m off mats on fairway and it makes a difference your course management is very good keep it up you seem so relaxed now
You are doing much better than me ! -me with all my clubs that is 😂 ! Will be leaving my Driver and woods at home and trying a fairway mat for the first time this winter !
great competition vlog Lester great idea just using irons, great golf played in these winter conditions are you still using the pxg balls or have you switched ?
Because I was hitting my 2 iron decent (only off the tee) and I’ve been struggling a bit with sticking the irons, haven’t been able to do any range work, so used the round as a bit of a practice session. I played today and felt I was definitely hitting them better David.
It’s certainly gives you a better perspective of what you’re able to do,but it also makes you play your irons better. I know at the moment it’s hard to get out and play anywhere up here at the moment. Unfortunately our course is on clay so the drainage isn’t good at the moment as the ground up here in Hertfordshire it absolutely saturated,and yes even the courses on sand or chalk are suffering to and as it’s not meant to be raining up here at the moment (which it still is)also makes it hard to practice anything. I did manage to get 9 holes in on Thursday with a few clubs carrying but not this weekend,we also so not really putting on the greens either hopefully better times coming
Tidy that mate, probably the wrong day to try that with the wind. Putter's still behaving, good effort 👍
I didn’t realise how windy it was until I teed off Phil 😂

I didn’t realise how windy it was until I stood on the first tee my friend and then realised how tough it was going to be 😂 glad you enjoyed it.
A pleasure to watch Lester.
Hope you've enjoyed Perranporth today too.
Cheers Andrew! Loved Perranporth today! Hope you enjoy the future vlog!
Great vlog and definitely golf the hard way with a 4 iron as your longest club into that wind! Good to see the putter still working - keep up the great work!
British winter golf so challenging a good effort Bernie
Keep up the good work on your golf channel. The uk is cold and windy year.
I’m going to play golf in St Lucia tomorrow.
This irons only game is a great experiment (I’ve thought about it a few times).

Good effort Bernie - is fair weather golfers are grateful for you heading out into the bad stuff to keep us entertained in these dark winter days!
Happy to help Martyn 😂 from a former fair weather golfer 😂
Well played, good stuff again, enjoyed it
Cheers Lou. Just need to sort out the start! 😂
@ you will do 👍👍
Well played mate. Up the irons 🏌️♀️⚒️😂
Cheers Jase! 😂

Cheers Tyler. I’ve always tried to make the vlogs choppy and fast paced. Maybe at times I need to slow them down, just don’t want anyone to get bored.
Really pleased to see your notifications are coming through now.
That’s great news John! Thanks for letting me know.
Good blog and nice way to mix it with irons only!
Used it as a bit on a practice session under pressure Andy! Something I use to regularly do.
Blimey Lester, that putters like a branding iron.🤣
I have to pay ground rent on it mate 😂
@ 🤣🤣
Really enjoy these course vlogs Bernie 👍
I’m glad you do. I like the fact they are filmed during a competition.
@berniebarnesgolf Was interesting to watch you plot your way around without woods, hitting flighted shots etc. Especially in that weather. Good stuff mate.
Another great recovery, +7 after 8 holes. I play irons only a few times a year, but never in comps.
I thought it was a non qualifier, but when I arrived (without woods) was told it was 😂 was fully committed by then Andrew 😂
Awesome video buddy. Quite windy mate. Well done.
Cheers Will! Thanks for watching.
@@berniebarnesgolf did mr Jones play?
@@berniebarnesgolf your welcome buddy
He was away in wales 🏴 visiting his mum
@@berniebarnesgolf ah FairPlay to him. 👍🏻👍🏻
Tricky conditions. Well played Bernie.
Thanks my friend, didn’t realise how windy it was until I was stood on the first tee 😂
At least you are playing off grass I’m off mats on fairway and it makes a difference your course management is very good keep it up you seem so relaxed now
We did experiment with mats last year but the club decided against them mate.
Very good effort in those conditions Lester.
Thanks mate.
Well done buddy
Thanks for watching John.
Really enjoyed that Lester - you seem a lot more confident with that putter 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Adrian! Really pleased with the putter, better than expected.
You are doing much better than me !
-me with all my clubs that is 😂 !
Will be leaving my Driver and woods at home and trying a fairway mat for the first time this winter !
Cheers Fergus! Get back out there mate! It’s not as bad as you think 😂
Looked tough out there but great stuff again
Thanks Mick! appreciate the comment.
That looked tough. Brave attempt and a solid back nine 👍
Thanks my friend, I’ll be honest I didn’t think it was that windy until I stood on the first tee 😂
Excellent Lester, great practice. Next time using persimmon 😂
I’m up for a little persimmon match!
Not bad considering the conditions and only using irons. 😎
I wasn’t disappointed with it Peter.
Bernie good golf in the cold and windy conditions and also good practise for you....would rather be watching than playing in those conditions !!
My motivation is to make content, although it’s difficult at the moment David I’m not going to lie 😂
@@berniebarnesgolf Bernie you are doing a first class job at it so keep it up as its great to watch
Cheers David.
Hi Lester. What has become of your 2 iron (remember your tee shot on 11 at St Enodoc)? Best wishes.
I still have it and it’s in the bag Richard! Just been struggling with my irons, so decided to use them only.
Irons irons irons ⚒️⚒️⚒️
😂 😂 very funny 🔨 🔨
Swing looking good Bernie. Always thought your right arm is too high at address . Have you tried tucking it under a bit?
great competition vlog Lester
great idea just using irons, great golf played in these winter conditions
are you still using the pxg balls or have you switched ?
I used a PXG ball in this round mate, been switching between that and a Srixon similar ball. Not settled on one yet.
@ never used a pxg ball so interesting to no that similar to srixon as use them on and off alot.
Very similar. I would say the srixon is fractionally longer with driver but similar with every other club.
Considering the conditions mate you seemed to be in control by just playing irons and you putted ok👍
Cheers Garry. Disappointing start again, but as you are aware it’s not an easy one!
Great idea hitting only irons, I need to do that myself. How are you liking your Lab putter? I am considering buying one.
Yeah I’m loving it Dave. I’m never going to be a great putter, but it’s definitely improved my putting.
Very good video. Why did you not take your 2 iron as well?
Because I was hitting my 2 iron decent (only off the tee) and I’ve been struggling a bit with sticking the irons, haven’t been able to do any range work, so used the round as a bit of a practice session. I played today and felt I was definitely hitting them better David.
We should do that more often just play with irons
I use to do it regularly David, particularly when I had to play longer, tour length courses in the coming weeks. It’s a great way to practice.
It’s certainly gives you a better perspective of what you’re able to do,but it also makes you play your irons better.
I know at the moment it’s hard to get out and play anywhere up here at the moment.
Unfortunately our course is on clay so the drainage isn’t good at the moment as the ground up here in Hertfordshire it absolutely saturated,and yes even the courses on sand or chalk are suffering to and as it’s not meant to be raining up here at the moment (which it still is)also makes it hard to practice anything.
I did manage to get 9 holes in on Thursday with a few clubs carrying but not this weekend,we also so not really putting on the greens either hopefully better times coming
We’ve suffering here too, we’ve been closed at times too and Churston is typically a great drying course.
Yeah I don’t think it’s good anywhere at the moment let’s hope it drys out soon so we can all enjoy our golf again
I bet the 4 iron was sore after!
Think I’ve worn it out David 😂
Take a dump in the first hole?
What!?
