    My favourite channel just get better and better, nice to see a youtuber focus on the course, the area, the people rather than being about themselves, very refreshing, this channel should have so many more subscribers

    It's just a joy to watch Andy. Such great camerawork really brings these courses to life. Loving the information too.
    However, I had one wee problem with this video and that was I was chewing along with you as you ate the bridies.😋

    Played at Forfar this week for the first time - really enjoyed it. Lots of options for courses to play in this area so TBH a video like this helped make my decision.
    Great work

    Forfar looked in very good nick and based on your putting (very good) I’m guessing the greens were good too. Wifey got very interested as soon as Malmaison featured (our favourite chain). I’ll have to pick your brains re a road trip - the wife deserves a break (as long as we stay at Malmaison - the golf a given). The bridie another attraction! Great series Andy

    What you did not mention was that Sandy Saddler (your bridie baker) was our Walker Cup Captain in 1977 at Shinnecock. Two from one golf club is quite an achievement. Sandy is still playing golf and is looking forward to being at the next match at St. Andrews in September 2023.

    Great representative vlog of a truly wonderful course plus a nice interview with Stuart who as detailed had a fantastic amateur golfing career. I wish Stuart all the best in leading the GB&I team next year over in the States and I look forward to getting to play Forfar Golf Club as a member, hopefully we will keep getting great weather like you experienced that day. In my opinion the Forfar course is a great challenge for all handicaps and the grounds men have done a fantastic job in keeping it in such good condition. Thank you for the vlog, sounds like you really enjoyed getting to play there.

    Pitty you didn't get to play off white medal tee on the 1st,with the pro shop and starters office in front of you, quite daunting, and all the members watching from the bar,, hope you enjoyed it,, Forfar birdies are usually shortcrust pastry.

      They were playing a members comp earlier in the day from the whites and I did think how daunting that would be, but to be honest we should have panned around because the whole patio area was on its feet to watch that tee shot which was bad enough!
