Another chat with a dear friend from Scotland. Love seeing you “whacking it about” in the sunshine . . . It suits you being warm on the turf in late January!!! I can always count on you to make my Mondays better. Cheers from North Carolina!!! 🍺
Hello I am from Australia born in Scotland love watching your channel Iona I have a mental problem but still love watching you play golf you hit the ball so straight.would you be able to do a video of on the grip if you could it would be great it’s great to watch seeing the countries you go take care from Tony
Thank you for the pep talk on warming up. I have incorporated it for several years getting to the course 30-45 minutes early. The idea of groups of 4 balls is intriguing and will use it going forward. Great video Iona!
Thanks for this Iona, your voice helps you to be very convincing and I am now convinced I should warm up more. I confess I don’t usually unless I’m there too early . I think now I might be early on purpose.😂 love your channel 👏👏👏💙
Love the warm up tips Iona. Makes loads of sense. Great content once again. Hope your new clubs are working for you and looking forward to seeing how you get along with them.
Good warm up! I only use the nets at my club as the range isn't long enough to hit anything over a hybrid. I usually hit PW, 7i, 4hybrid, 3 wood and driver. 4-6 balls for each and then 8-10 chips on the green. Due to renovations at the club we don't have a putting green ATM. I do miss that and we are probably not getting it back till May. Anyway good vid iona, keep em coming! 😊😊
always good to get advice about how to warm up pre round ive found recently a better way rather than cycling down with my bag and hitting 10 shots into the nets it’s definitely about warming up properly before going out. great advice Iona
Another great and helpful video. I take all of your tips to the course! I'm so big on practice and warmup, it's very important to me to spend ample time doing both outside of the main round of golf. Thank you Iona! ❤
WOW this sounds very strange but for the first time I can actually watch the weight transfer now having seen Ionas' calves. OH OH OH Which are obviously tremendous by the way. Thanks for the constantly entertaining and amazing content.
Another good informative episode . Like most warm ups isn’t always to the fore when playing a round. It should be we get 25 balls to warm up with ! I have promised myself to use this facility more this year . Following on from your pre round drills I will try to come up with a quick routine to loosen up .Love the drills though especially the chalk line one👍 Hope you played well 🏌️♀️look forward to the next episode.
Love the warming up vid similar to mine started using 5 balls always hit 4 if they are ok just tap the firth onto range, best to finish on a good shot rather then a shank 😂, also when practicing my putting before a round alway try to get it as close as i can without it going into the hole helps me when on the course 🏌️♀️⛳️
Iona, What an inspiring and insightful video. It makes me want to go out and practice! I really love your content; you are not just “putting out videos” but really putting thought and purpose in your messaging. You are taking me back to those early times of when I started to truly enjoying golf. Mike D, USA
I really enjoy your routine and teaching videos Iona thank you, all your content actually. Today I had my best round for 2024 so far shot a 73 at Belmont wanganui nz I play off 11 so very chuffed
Great video yet again Iona. You have managed to answer lots of questions i had surrounding warming up. I will be trying some of this to give myself more structure to my warm up.
Love the content Iona. Thanks from a fellow Scot 👌👏 Would be great to show the 9 hole course Gems in Scotland like Carrbridge. We did a 9 hole Scottish open when the Scottish open was just up the road at Castle Stuart. We always get great comments for Carrbridge , short but challenging course. Great greens by mid summer. 🙏⛳️
Great insight Iona. I really like the four balls during warm up,plus finishing with those short putts. Playing Formby Ladies tmw, so will use this drill ⛳️😊
Jealous doesn’t begin to cover it. Have a tee time in hour and a half time, 8 winter greens, (frost and surface water) nets only for shots and a chipping area maybe the size of a large living room. Still love it though !
Thanks for the warm-up primer Iona. Full disclosure, I do not always get to the course with a lot of time to spare. If you have 10 minutes (or less) to "warm up" what does that look like? Stretches? Swinging a weighted club - maybe not for you with your wrist? A few chips and putts?
Wonderful professional warmup everyone shold benefit from! I am 0:11 now wondering how many wedges you carry? I have 4, a 60, 56 sand wedge, a 52 gap wedge and a 48 pw. I love your videos and passing along these great tips!
Love watching your videos Iona. Always want to get up and go and practice or play after I watch your videos. I run data driven golf analysis sessions in west London to compare golfer stats to tour averages and see where the margins are to be had. Let me know if you are ever interested.
Love your content Iona (particularly when you have Deleas with you). Just wondered whether you have tried a wrist band rather than the tape. I have had a problem with my right wrist for a couple of years and have taken to wearing a neoprene wrist band when playing golf, it has a strap I can tighten to provide the necessary amount of support
Great video. If everyone did this I think we'd all play better. In a pinch, I tend to focus on my chipping. The feel of the ball coming off the club is usually enough to get me started. Not ideal by any means, your routine is much better.
My course only has a driving net and the mats aren’t the best. I have to treat it as a warm up and I stick to one club, usually something like an 8 iron. It’s not ideal but still better than making my tee shot the first of the day!
I find one thing that hurts me most on the course is the mental aspect. How do you recover mentally after having a bad hole so that it doesn't have a domino effect on the rest of the round?
Good afternoon I was wondering when and where Iona will be trying to qualify for the open . And also will the channel be recording it ? Whenever it is a wish Iona all the best she must be buzzing and hoping to Qualify for it as it is at the Home of golf St Andrews Thanks ❤
Being someone that suffers badly with back trouble I have to warm up properly before a round. If I don't not only does the game disappear but I usually end up in all sorts of pain
Just to add. As someone who's attention span is shocking, having time to warm up physically and get my head into 'game mode' is probably just as important for me. Not that I'm particularly good, but definitely worse of I don't have time to.warm up and get my head in it.
Do you try to find your ”the flight pattern of the day”? I mean on some days I see I just seem to fade more. It usually means that even on the course I will do it.
Using the practice green to assess pace? Not at my clubs you don't because the practice green is NEVER the same pace as the course greens. What to do? Practise those four footers.

More great content. Best golf channel out there. No clickbait, no sensational nonsense 👏🏼
Love it and just watched the coverage with rbc, your input and hosting of that is different class
Another chat with a dear friend from Scotland. Love seeing you “whacking it about” in the sunshine . . . It suits you being warm on the turf in late January!!! I can always count on you to make my Mondays better. Cheers from North Carolina!!! 🍺
i whack it about in the sunshine too but in magaluf :) ... whacking it aboot in scotland means a differant thing btw lol.
Excellent video Iona,sometimes spend too much time warming up,nice quick warm up was just what I needed.
The sound of holing a putt. I never really thought much of it but it is a satisfying sound or grateful.😊 It appears to be a great routine - as usual.
Another great video to make a Wet and Cold Monday better 😀
You managed to squeeze all that great stuff into just over 14 minutes...
Thanks Iona. Another very informative video. 👍

really really good good Iona!!!!!!! Cheers from Mississippi!!!!
love the putting warm up with 3 balls to different holes......very good
Iona very nice warmup overview: physical and mental overlap with intentional focus was excellent. Many thanks.
Thank you, very helpful and like the way you explain and to the point.
Thanks once again for an interesting video. Great way to warm up. Hope you like the clubs…looking forward to hearing your review.
Great video with relevant stuff for everyone to take on board - it be even more relevant in a wintry St Andrews rather than warm Dubai!! 😊😂
Thank you for the pep talk on warming up. I have incorporated it for several years getting to the course 30-45 minutes early. The idea of groups of 4 balls is intriguing and will use it going forward. Great video Iona!
no better warm up than jiminez, cigar and a few wiggles.
Thanks for this Iona, your voice helps you to be very convincing and I am now convinced I should warm up more. I confess I don’t usually unless I’m there too early . I think now I might be early on purpose.😂 love your channel 👏👏👏💙

Great video manny tks Iona allways a good tip from you
This helps more then I probably realise, will give it a go next game.
Sensible advice, good logic, thanks Iona !
Great video again. Love the idea of a more structured warm up. Will implement later. Thanks again for putting together another informative guide!
Then, the thoughts on putting, I really needed. Thanks again!
Excellent insight to your warm up and a handy little guide to warming up before a round. Brilliant video!
Thanks for the warm up tips. Easy watch and listen. Keep them coming 🤗
What a short game area, worth getting there early, another great interesting video
Good warm up! I only use the nets at my club as the range isn't long enough to hit anything over a hybrid. I usually hit PW, 7i, 4hybrid, 3 wood and driver. 4-6 balls for each and then 8-10 chips on the green. Due to renovations at the club we don't have a putting green ATM. I do miss that and we are probably not getting it back till May. Anyway good vid iona, keep em coming! 😊😊
Could listen to you all day. Great informative video as always. Keep up the great work Iona.
always good to get advice about how to warm up pre round

it’s definitely about warming up properly before going out.

You mentioned rhythm enough in this video to get my attention. I was struggling with my short irons for a bit. It was my tempo, all the way. Thanks!
Hey Iona! Thanks for this video! I appreciate the tips!!! Have a Blessed Day!
Swing is looking really good Iona!

Great to see how it should be done, I play with high handicappers - like me, so don't learn a lot. This is very useful, thank you.
Ideal thank you. I play terribly if not warmed up and in pieces for days after. 😂
You must have been putting some work in, you are swinging beautifully.
Love all of your co tent iona,, amazing young woman, ❤
The warm weather gotta help Iona 😂🌞🌞
Your love of the game is fantastic
Love watching your swing!! keep grooving it! great tempo!
Jealous doesn’t begin to cover it. Have a tee time in hour and a half time, 8 winter greens, (frost and surface water) nets only for shots and a chipping area maybe the size of a large living room. Still love it though !
Loved this one Iona , warming up is very important
Thanks for the warm-up primer Iona. Full disclosure, I do not always get to the course with a lot of time to spare. If you have 10 minutes (or less) to "warm up" what does that look like? Stretches? Swinging a weighted club - maybe not for you with your wrist? A few chips and putts?
Like the idea of hitting putts to different holes, to get the pace 👍
Also guilty for no warm up. It's hard to worry about it at the virtual range when you know you can't lose a ball
You are the best golf content, somewhat concerned that the idea of parking and heading straight to the tee isn’t helping 😂
I love that practice tip on putting one ball at different distances thanks I'm trying that today
Wonderful professional warmup everyone shold benefit from! I am 0:11 now wondering how many wedges you carry? I have 4, a 60, 56 sand wedge, a 52 gap wedge and a 48 pw. I love your videos and passing along these great tips!
Another great video with some excellent advice. Will give the 4 ball routine a go. Just wish I had the rhythm and flow of your swing.
Love watching your videos Iona. Always want to get up and go and practice or play after I watch your videos. I run data driven golf analysis sessions in west London to compare golfer stats to tour averages and see where the margins are to be had. Let me know if you are ever interested.

Great video, I wonder which wedge you start. (lob, sand or gap)
My course only has a driving net and the mats aren’t the best. I have to treat it as a warm up and I stick to one club, usually something like an 8 iron. It’s not ideal but still better than making my tee shot the first of the day!
Great content and a great location in the middle east
Brilliant insights 😊
Nice, relaxed and informative. Do you worry about hitting off mats with your wrist ?
Iona loving the content, you've found a different way of putting things over 😏👊🏌️👉
My warmup is usually fast walking to 1st tee 😂
I find one thing that hurts me most on the course is the mental aspect. How do you recover mentally after having a bad hole so that it doesn't have a domino effect on the rest of the round?
Hi Iona just watching your videos and I wonder why do you put a tape around your wrist ??? Love your videos 😊
At last, I'm number one in something.
Woohoo 🎉🎉🎉
Good afternoon I was wondering when and where Iona will be trying to qualify for the open . And also will the channel be recording it ?
Whenever it is a wish Iona all the best she must be buzzing and hoping to Qualify for it as it is at the Home of golf St Andrews
Thanks ❤
Thanks for the tutorial.....but is 4 balls per club enough? I think it"s also good to stretch before a round. Looking forward to you next video.......
Being someone that suffers badly with back trouble I have to warm up properly before a round. If I don't not only does the game disappear but I usually end up in all sorts of pain
thanks for your videos what do you think about to finish your warm up by a club you hit on the tee 1
Great Video -- hope your game is building for ST Andrews
Great video, very informative. What tape do you use on your wrist?
Just to add. As someone who's attention span is shocking, having time to warm up physically and get my head into 'game mode' is probably just as important for me. Not that I'm particularly good, but definitely worse of I don't have time to.warm up and get my head in it.
When warming up, do you also practice full, 3/4, 1/2. Or is it literally just about getting warmed up?
My course doesn’t have a driving range. Sad. I do spend 30 minutes putting and chipping.
What impact does the tape have for your wrist, as you don't seem to use much? My practice used to be a few stretches and away we go
I noticed you hover your driver over the ground. Is that your normal set up or was that due to not being able to put the tee all of the way in?
I have a coffee. That explains a few things 🙄
Do you try to find your ”the flight pattern of the day”? I mean on some days I see I just seem to fade more. It usually means that even on the course I will do it.
Amazing young woman ❤
We need to chat you up and get the subs too 100k
Who takes the videos for you by the way?
John Daly would hit balls for maybe 20 minutes, putt a little bit, smoke four or five cigarettes, drink three Diet Cokes and go to the first tee.
If i dont warm up I just watch an Iona vid warms me up everytime )👌🤩
You've gotta find a better solution with that wrist Iona. Tape doesn't seem like the best solution.
Using the practice green to assess pace? Not at my clubs you don't because the practice green is NEVER the same pace as the course greens. What to do? Practise those four footers.
The ugly zone
