You made every shot look effortless and enjoyable. That wind would have put my game off, but you just played through like it was a normal day. Would play a round with you any day.
@@kyleklontz3214 I definitely don't hit my clubs at a full speed or full whack. I just let the club do the work, it may mean losing on distance but it makes things more manageable for me
I think you have really nice compact swing! Keep plugging away and you will be scoring much better in no time! Love the golf course! I hope some day I’ll get over there and play some of those courses!
@@michaelh6136 I had a round many years ago. I played a decent front nine, but the pace of play bogged down on the back. I played terribly. I walked up on the 18th tee and laced a 250 yard tee shot. I then hit an 8-iron into the hole for an eagle. I went from being done to "Let's play another 9."
Cheers DropKick! It's definitely the consistency of playing golf regularly that helps! I'm currently down to a 12.7 handicap since this round, trending in the right direction
If you are in southern Ontario and you want a cheap course like this try out Tarandowa east of London just south of the 401. Only difference is lack of water views.
Cheers Luke, genuinely such a privelege to play at a prestigious course like Gullane No.1 Hope you all enjoyed my round, and see what a bang average golfer shoots!
Very nice to watch. I have the exact same HCP and similar distances (my drives and wedges/high irons might be a bit farther, but mid-irons are identical). But its fascinating how the same HCP can come together entirely differently. My shortgame and high irons are pretty solid, but I lose 4-9 balls per round. My whole HCP is essentially just consisting of penalties....
First off, congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers. So happy for all of you Up & Downers! Fents really played well and if only half of those short misses went in he would have been in the mid 80's. For a big man he is very agile. He also is really good as a solo to watch. Luke, are we going to see your round there as well?
I enjoyed your round immensely. I'm a wannabe 18 handicapper currently sitting north of 20. You started off really well keep it up see you at your next video.
Would love to golf there (NO WATER). The confidence of hitting a driving knowing the worse case is your in the long grass instead of taking water penalties! Thanks for letting us watch. 20 handicap here. You had some great drives and putting
Congratulations to breaking 90! My aim aswell if not this season then the next 😊 Very nice video! I enjoy following you and Luke alot! Greatings from Helsinki Finland.
Proper, relatable golf for the average player. I play with a social group of mates, mostly ex-rugby players still clinging on to their past glory days. We range from 11 to 30 handicap and play for the fun of it. You'd fit in great with us. Enjoying the good shots and not getting upset at the not so good shots. Golf played in the right spirit.
Thanks Andrew! It's nice to hear what we do is relatable and entertaining at the same time! That's how we want to come across! We also just want to have fun, and enjoy the 4 hours playing golf as much as we can! Thanks again for watching mate!
Price is always a option when playing a lot of courses perhaps you could include what these courses cost or any deals that are available but another great vid and looks like it was a enjoyable round
Yes mate that's really good, a bogey on each hole effectively. Try not to compare yourself or your game to pros in any way. It's almost a completely different sport
A well presented video with easy to take in running commentary keeping the interest through the 18holes at a great location! Played a couple of the numbers at Gullane back in the late nineties and always remember that when the tides out you can view a scuppered U boat from part of the course! Wondering whats the green fee these days!! 😂 Keep em coming!
Just googled that U boat, that’s mad! We didn’t see it. £200+ I think the green fee was for the Gullane 1. The others are cheaper. Thanks for watching!
As a bogey golfer, this was great. I would love to play a round here with him and see how I would do. I have a feeling that I wouldn't compete on some of those long putts.
Great video, a perfect example of a golfer playing to his ability, I think we go out there with a hcp of 18 expecting to play to 8 or 10 and end up not breaking 90. Good stuff , thankyou.⛳️
I usually don't comment.. but good for this fucking guy. This is super great content.. Regular golfers enjoying a good course, this is fantastic. Keep on golfing my man!!!!!
How you keep your temper is beyond me! Especially the chunks and mishits when you know you CAN do better! An 18 handicap who's honestly happy to be there?? I'm a 20 right now but used to be a 12 (YEARS ago) so I struggle with acceptance
You're an excellent putter for an 18. I know you didn't ask for any advice, but I think you would benefit from slowing down your backswing and taking just the slightest bit of a pause at the top. My 2 cents...! lol... Keep up the good work.
My only advice is "Johnny Miller", take away long on Johnny, then, Miller down with through reach. You are a well above average golfer, and I do not think you're an 18.4 handicap.
Hi, your video is really cool. Great playing. Can you please let us know which software do you use for the movies to cut and edit and how to add the shot tracer?
I’m not much better than this guy with a 16.8. The course difference between where he’s playing and where I play is considerable. Water and OB on missed shots or sometimes just impossible to find the ball. The wind looks like it’s howling there.
Nice iron shots. Your feet are pointing to where your driver shots are going. Hit your driver better and you will playing 12 handicap. Thanks for sharing your video!
How long did the round actually take as a two-ball and trackman set-up each time on a live golf course, presumably letting others play through. Interesting commentary of a real round we’re all familiar with. What sort of camera was used?
Lovely course. Nice job ! My goal is always to break 90 but I haven't been playing enough the past few years to do it. I like your steadiness and ability to avoid compounding your mistakes. Fun round !😊
thank you for the video, you could be a 12 or less golfer, slow you swing down with clubs you are not comfortable with , and work on your chipping a bit. you way better golfer than you might think.
I’m a bad golf player, but used to love the game and then I became disabled, so that was the end of that and a lot of other stuff. Anyways, not to undermine your golfing abilities, as they’re better than mine. But shouldn’t the head stay down for longer after you’ve taken the shot? Something I’ve heard somewhere.
I don't think it's all that tough to progress from consistently in the 90s to consistently in the 80s, a little tougher to go from consistent 80s to 70s but that's where most people stop their progression

This is honestly top tier content. I would love more content from "realistic" golf play.
Thanks Collin! Plenty more on the channel and to come 👍
That’s pretty much all golf content is now
Come record me playing and you can watch me all day long come see you there yet?
I’d play 18 holes with this guy any day! I prefer playing with decent, fast play people….& he’s all that and more! 👏👍
Thanks Paso I appreciate that! I enjoy playing at a fast pace!
Agreed
@@FentsGolf.......Those pot bunkers were hellacious! Except for one - you played them quite well. Well done, mate! 👍
Thanks for watching Paso!
Think you all need to remember that YOU were the slow player once upon a time. Anyone who says they weren't is a bare faced lier. 😂
Just get those doubles down to a single dropped shot and you’re suddenly off 12. Damage limitation is the key. Enjoyed watching this
Thanks for watching Derek, and I completely agree! My game has got a lot better lately and it's all down to damage limitation!
Solid advice Derek!
While we're at it, why not get the pars down to birdies as well.
You made every shot look effortless and enjoyable. That wind would have put my game off, but you just played through like it was a normal day. Would play a round with you any day.
Thanks for watching JM, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!
Same here, this would be a great guy to have as a playing partner. Great attitude, out there to have fun!
effortless?
@@kyleklontz3214 I definitely don't hit my clubs at a full speed or full whack. I just let the club do the work, it may mean losing on distance but it makes things more manageable for me
I’m a beginner golfer at age 37. And enjoying learning and playing. It is nice to see realistic videos for reachable goals. Great video!
Thanks Steve! Keep enjoying your golf mate 👍
Go for bogey golf. It is attainable.
I think you have really nice compact swing! Keep plugging away and you will be scoring much better in no time! Love the golf course! I hope some day I’ll get over there and play some of those courses!
hey! I am also a beginner at 37. Had the worst round ever today and really considered quitting, but here I am!

A respectable round of golf, Fents. You can be proud.
Appreciate it Richard 👊⛳
Well done. Great effort. That sloppiness around 15/16 is so relatable. Good commentary and pace throughout
Thanks Ted 👍
Absolutly cracking round of golf. Some of those putts where like homing missiles! Keep playing like that and you'll be in single figures soon
His handicap has done some falling since this round 👍
Damn bro, your a good golfer! That putting was awesome. You give a big dude like myself hope. I’m a 25 but getting better every round.
Cheers DropKick! It's definitely the consistency of playing golf regularly that helps! I'm currently down to a 12.7 handicap since this round, trending in the right direction

YES! Broke 90! Brother, I know how much it takes to put together such a well-made video and we appreciate it. Great stuff! (New Subscriber).
Thanks man! Appreciate it👊⛳
You play well and on a very nice course ! We dont have this type of golf course in Canada . We have a lot of trees and water and less wind ;-)
Thats what we usually play in the North of England too! It was a nice change
Thanks for watching Jean!
If you are in southern Ontario and you want a cheap course like this try out Tarandowa east of London just south of the 401. Only difference is lack of water views.

Wouldn’t say you were a bang average golfer mate ,great vlogs lads love these trips away keep on moving up the RUclips league
Thanks Darren 👊⛳️
Of the many golf videos on YT, I enjoyed this the most because it represented those of us who aren’t scratch golfers. Your game is much like mine.
Thanks Murph, that's great to hear! It's brilliant to hear people enjoy watching us!
Thanks for watching Murph!
Great score that..Sub 90 well done!!!
Thanks Phil!
Thanks for watching Phil!
Fents has really improved! His ball striking and putting were very solid. Congrats on breaking 90. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Kebuka, he's definitely getting better!
Well done Fents! That’s a great effort to break 90. Really well edited video guys…..kept the pace and interest throughout 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks Humble 🙌 Hope you're good mate!
This really made me giggle, I'm not a good golfer and have to laugh at my bad shots. You scrambled well, love it
Cheers for watching Adam 👍

Thanks for watching man! It's something I've thankfully tried to eliminate from my game lately and stop the blow ups! It really does help!
Thanks! Ah well you know what to work on I guess 👍

Thanks Dave! Appreciate that 👍
Yeah my round to come next 👊⛳
Thanks Dave! Cheers for watching as always!
@FentsGolf Hi Fents, it looked like you both had a great day! Your game is really coming around. Keep up with your guys great videos.
Real golf. Better than the insta and RUclips bros who think, act and talk like they are playing Sunday at The Open. 👍👍👍👍👍
Appreciate that!
I enjoyed your round immensely. I'm a wannabe 18 handicapper currently sitting north of 20. You started off really well keep it up see you at your next video.
Thanks Breeze, appreciate you watching. Next video out tomorrow!
😀@@FentsGolf
Thanks for watching Breeze!
There's like a bus load in that playing group in front of you two.🤣
😂 4 ball each with a caddy
The importance of a straight as possible departure
On links, for sure
Would love to golf there (NO WATER). The confidence of hitting a driving knowing the worse case is your in the long grass instead of taking water penalties! Thanks for letting us watch. 20 handicap here. You had some great drives and putting
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching
Cheers for the feedback, appreciate it!
Great job in video editing, we can follow you as we do with professionnals, it was a pleasure to watch.
Thanks for watching man! All down to Luke with the editing, he does a great job
Thanks man! Appreciate that 👍
Good putter mate your putting on best greens links fast & true 👍 number 2 course is the best
Good to know! They all looked good tbf 👍
Good on you for putting yourself out there. Nice round too mate. Would love to play a match if you're ever in cambridgeshire
Thanks Gorilla! Appreciate you watching!
Thanks for watching!
Normally, a final qualification course when the open is at Muirfield.
Shoot your handicap here, and you have played really well
Interesting Alan, I didn’t know that 👍
Should probably not breathe so hard into the microphone
👍
Can't beat a great West Riding accent. Miss hearing every day
Haha thanks Paul!
Congratulations to breaking 90! My aim aswell if not this season then the next 😊 Very nice video! I enjoy following you and Luke alot! Greatings from Helsinki Finland.
Thanks Christian! I'm sure you'll smash it mate 👊⛳
All the heavy mouth breathing kinda ruins it all

Price is always a option when playing a lot of courses perhaps you could include what these courses cost or any deals that are available but another great vid and looks like it was a enjoyable round
Yes, I am always curious on cost. This looks very nice.
Thanks Phil. It's about £250 for a round on the No.1 course. They have two others there too that are cheaper 👍
@@UpDownGolf Ouch, I play ~$30-$50 over here in Alabama. But they for sure don't hold a candle the the ones you are playing. #Beautiful
Fens that’s a class round mate tough wind tough track !! Superb golf shots there mucka 👌🏌️♂️🙌🙌👍
Thanks for watching Neil! 👍
Thank you! I'm 53. Been golfing for a few yrs now. 50 to 100 balls a day most weeks into my net. You're better than me. I needed this!:)
Thanks Arizona! Glad you enjoyed
Thanks for watching!
I shot +9 thru 9 holes, I’m not that experienced yet on the field (8 months), is that decent?
Yes mate that's really good, a bogey on each hole effectively. Try not to compare yourself or your game to pros in any way. It's almost a completely different sport
That's very good 👍
Fantastic round. Some of those putts were incredible. It easily could've been an 85 or 86 instead of 89. Congratulations
Thanks David, appreciate you watching 👍
Dude - nice playing. Them greens were huge!
Cheers Ray! Yeah some long putts out there wasn't there
You need your putting game for links golf
10K🎉
Whoop whoop! 🙌
I know those courses well and they can be tough in the wind. I thought you played well mate. Well done. Great video. 👍🏻
Thanks Gary!
Tell you what fella, that was a hell of a round in those conditions. That bunker shot on 16 was mint! Top stuff 👌
Thanks Richard, really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching me!
I was so gutted with the 3-putt after the ripping bunker shot! I know that pain… 😩
Thanks for watching chaps!
Well in Fents - those were hard bunkers to get out of too. Break 90 on a new course is always well played :) look forward to Lukes outing.
Cheers Jack! Mine’s up next 👍
Very relatable and solid round, one to be proud of for sure. Cheers
Thanks David!
Thanks for watching David!
I thought Fents was gonna pick up where he left off on the last video making all those tremendous putts…👍🏼👍🏼
His putting has been insane recently
Really enjoying this, first time you have popped up on my feed. I like your chilled style of presenting, keep it up mate. Great golf 👍
Thanks Steven, buzzing you enjoyed it mate!
Thanks for watching man!
Really enjoyed watching you play and do really well in that wind. Thanks for posting the vid.
Thanks for watching!
8 Iron your favorite club? you used it on everything from 125 yrds to 151. Good show though!
Got to judge the wind
Well played there Fents, get them drives straightened up and you'll shave off a few shots - it's great to see you improving everytime you play
Thanks for watching Craig! 👊⛳️
I went round In 76 on my first time, 30 years later still still getting around 79/81
No shame in that mate! Cracking scores

Thanks Kevin, appreciate it!
Great effort Fents playing to handicap on such a hard and unknown course!
🙌🙌
As a bogey golfer, this was great. I would love to play a round here with him and see how I would do. I have a feeling that I wouldn't compete on some of those long putts.
He's very good with the flat stick. Thanks for watching!
Great video, a perfect example of a golfer playing to his ability, I think we go out there with a hcp of 18 expecting to play to 8 or 10 and end up not breaking 90. Good stuff , thankyou.⛳️
Exactly! Sometimes hitting our handicaps is good enough.
Thanks for watching Michael!
You're a couple shots from a solid score. That course looks amazing. Cheers
Thanks Kyle, the course was awesome!
I play off 18 and your round was very much like mine would be. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Thanks Dave, glad you enjoyed it mate!

Well done. Good contact most all the time and a better than average short game. No wild shots or big numbers.
Thanks for watching Russell, glad you enjoyed it

How you keep your temper is beyond me! Especially the chunks and mishits when you know you CAN do better! An 18 handicap who's honestly happy to be there?? I'm a 20 right now but used to be a 12 (YEARS ago) so I struggle with acceptance
Got to remember we're supposed to be playing for fun 😅
You're an excellent putter for an 18. I know you didn't ask for any advice, but I think you would benefit from slowing down your backswing and taking just the slightest bit of a pause at the top. My 2 cents...! lol... Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching dude!
Well played Fents. You're driving the ball a lot straighter (and further?!). Very impressive.
Yeah both I’d say Brian 👍
@@UpDownGolf I'm torn; I used to love the smiley face, the current version is far more effective, though.
😂
My only advice is "Johnny Miller", take away long on Johnny, then, Miller down with through reach. You are a well above average golfer, and I do not think you're an 18.4 handicap.
Thanks for watching dude!
Hi, your video is really cool. Great playing. Can you please let us know which software do you use for the movies to cut and edit and how to add the shot tracer?
Thanks! I make them in Premiere Pro and After Effects
Fun to watch someone golf with the same handicap as me. This all feels familiar :)
Thanks for watching Dave! Glad you enjoyed it! There's more to come!

I’m not much better than this guy with a 16.8. The course difference between where he’s playing and where I play is considerable. Water and OB on missed shots or sometimes just impossible to find the ball. The wind looks like it’s howling there.

😂😂 The wind was no joke Rob
As a larger golfer, this gives me hope. Good on ya mate!
Thanks for watching Roderick 👍
Agreed!!! i thought the exact same thing!
Great chippy in Gullane😅. You'd have gone past Ronnie Corbett's old house when you were playing.
There's some cracking views around that course isn't there
Refreshing to watch, realistic golf for most of us! Great video!

How long did the round actually take as a two-ball and trackman set-up each time on a live golf course, presumably letting others play through. Interesting commentary of a real round we’re all familiar with. What sort of camera was used?
It took about 3.5/4 hrs I think. We don't set a trackman up, just a camera 👍
Lovely course. Nice job ! My goal is always to break 90 but I haven't been playing enough the past few years to do it. I like your steadiness and ability to avoid compounding your mistakes.
Fun round !😊
Cheers Gaston, appreciate that!
Thanks for watching Gaston!
Really enjoyed watching that. You have potential to bring your handicap down a few strokes.
Thanks for watching!
Outstanding!
Thanks for sharing. Thoroughly enjoyed the content.

It was a beautiful course! Thanks for watching Alex
Thanks for watching Alex!
came across your channel, this is great, if you're an 18.4 handicap I must be at least 30 handicap
Thanks! Appreciate you watching 👍
i used to play off 4. 20 years not playing and various injuries later I shot +45 last week. Can't hit the damn thing
Ah sounds like golf!
Stellar overlays! It looks like those greens are pretty quick, hahaha
They were rapid!
Man, how tf do i hit my driver 250, and still do worse than this? XD I know I'm only a month into golfing, but damn.
More to scoring than hitting it far 👍
Very interesting that you did yards instead of meters, but I appreciate it :D
We use yards in the UK 👍
Anybody else notice that the group in front was a 7some? I enjoyed this video very much. Keep on going.
It was a 4 ball with caddys 👍
Look where your feet are pointing….that’s where your ball is ending up.
👍
Finally somebody I could actually hang with on RUclips. Golfing and six or seven pints after the round!!! Well done sir 😃😃⛳️
Cheers Jack, appreciate that mate! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Who says he drinks?
@@SteveNinetyski He did. He said, “cheers Jack”. 😂
6 or 7 pints would put Fents out of action for a week 😂
Ditch the driver for a bit, doesn’t seem to be doing you any favours. Short game was excellent 👏
Thanks for watching!
That was really enjoyable. It sounds like you can drive far how long can you drive? The golf coast is a lot of fun.
Cheers Andy! I think fents drives it about 220/230 usually 👍
I dunno how you control the wind audio, but others should take note. it's like I can barely notice it. wonderful video!! so fun to watch!! keep it up
Thanks Ryan! Appreciate you watching 👍
Fantastic video. Golf is more fun to watch when pars aren't so boring. You need to find a cameraman that will at least pull the pin for you, hah!
He needs to pay me more then 😂
Great round mate! You are putting very well! I’m now a new subscriber. 👍🏻
Thanks Jeff, glad to hear that! Hope you enjoy all our content!

great video! come and play carnoustie championship next!
Ooh we'd love to
Very good golfer just wish I could play this good now days. I;m 67
Thanks for watching Ken 👍
My video would say what 48.4 handicap golf looks like…..
As long as you enjoy it mate 👍
I don't think it's all that tough to progress from consistently in the 90s to consistently in the 80s, a little tougher to go from consistent 80s to 70s but that's where most people stop their progression
Practice practice practice
