Iona, I used to be off plus 3 when I was 15 years old. Watching you has given me the drive to get out my ping eye 2,s out the barn and intend to start playing again after 45 years of not playing. Thank you for some amazing content and tips.x ❤
I'm here for this!!! After the Rick Shiels episode I've wanted more of the gameplay from Iona. The commentary, the conversation, the course knowledge, sometimes history tidbits. This is going to be amazing.
Really enjoyed the video Iona. Saw the RS video with you when it came out and was so impressed with your game. Considering how little chances you get to play, your game is proper solid.
As a somewhat creaky 76 year old golfer, I will remember your excellent points about taking the club that YOU need (not being prideful) and accepting that you don’t have to judge by perfection more by enjoyment…. great series 👏🏻👏🏻
I like the…”yeh I’m happy with that” for the shot that was about 2’ from the pin!!!!! 🤷🏻I’d have been going nuts! 🤣 Great start Iona….big fan of all your work and love to see you out on course! Looking forward to the series! Garforth Golf Club West Yorkshire! Good course. 👍🏻
This is gonna be a proper series. Something about Iona's manner on camera and presentation skills that just put you at ease, a true professional and a great golfer. Love it.
Your videos with Rick and others have inspired my daughter to take up golf. She was excited to watch this together and now wants to start her own breaking 50 challenge (9 holes). Thanks for being an inspiration to young girls and their dads everywhere.
Loved this first "Chasing the Red" episode and look forward to seeing it develop. I would love to see you and Rick play Tain - a lovely Old Tom Morris course across the firth from Royal Dornoch (another candidate). I have been a member for the best part of 40 years, but rarely get up there lately. The club would really benefit from the publicity that being on your series would provide. Best wishes for the future episodes !
I'm going to instantly like any video you put out, Iona. To me, you are the top female YT content creator. I truly think you should be over the 100,000 subscribers mark, and will do so if more videos are published, as you are able, of course. As a 56 year-old golfer I have arthritis in my right hip and degenerative disc disease in my neck, so I don't practice either, but rather play at a frequency that allows me to not irritate my conditions so badly that I have to stop and go back to physical therapy. I hope you are able to continue to enjoy the game you love so much and stay as healthy as possible.
This is going to be a phenomenal series.Would love to see you play Royal Lytham with Jimmy Bullard as your playing partner.Two people with a real passion for their golf.
I have to agree, Jimmy Bullard on the channel would be awesome Iona. Loving this so far as it’s so open and honest filming. Great to watch so far. Would love to see you come and play Royal Portrush and a few other courses in NI.
Great watch Iona! Not just the golf but your inspirational narrative. I had a poor round a few days ago and was beating myself up - your words about self kindness resonates. Golf is a journey, just like life, and we grow from these challenging moments. It’s just as much about the attitude as where the golf ball lands! Keep making fantastic content!
You've always been such a wonderful and wholehearted presenter on Sky Sports Golf, but its so lovely to see this personal side of you 😀 you've entertained us on Rick's channel, and it's awesome to see you smash it, and helping inspire us all into feeling that all obstacles can be beaten if you keep positive and give it everything! Thanks Iona!
I'm not sure I've encountered such an extraordinary person on youtube as yourself Iona. You are an inspirational character, and so positive in what you do it is almost impossible not to take it on board. Keep it up!
Excited for a new series - one of the best golf content creators on youtube. I'm not sure whether it would have mass appeal, but for golf nerds, it would be fun to have you play with other golf insiders that are typically behind the scenes. I think you previously played with the head of R&A. Probably a lot of great perspectives on how they see the game and their role in it.
Really enjoyed this thank you. You are still hard on yourself. You aren’t just playing golf you are working another job of presenting this series at the same time. It is harder to shoot “in the red” when you are combining the jobs/activities. You are amazing. I first saw you on Rick Shiels’ channel. I enjoy watching a woman golf for a change. We don’t get a lot of coverage. I took up golf in my 50s and still work at getting better. Never did any other sport so it was a challenge, and still is. Can’t wait to see more shows in your series.
Loved watching this and listening to your views on injury & dreams. Whilst I was never at your elite level I had to give up golf in 2007 due to multiple spinal surgeries and understand your feelings towards golf. Luckily I’ve found a Physio who works with professional major winners and I’m playing again. Every round is a blessing. Highlight of this year is travelling from Australia to my home country in August and playing Crail with my brothers and father. Inspired by your Rick Shiels appearance. Keep up the great work. Fuck that was longer than I expected!!! Oh love your dogs.
Nice one Iona - watched the half way hut with Sam and remember him as an assistant to Arthur Lees - I still play there and wherever I go I can’t wait to get back - as for the ladies my other half plays here so I join her whenever I can - if you break par here you are doing well - Greta vid keep them coming - Hankley Common next 👌
Wanted to see you on your own channel. Interesting to hear of your self doubts as you have always come across as so positive and natural. As for potential playing partners it might be good to get in a few of the older pro's such as Monty, Sandy, Padraig, Peter Baker etc... No point going down the same route as Finch, Shiels, Bullard, Golf Mates. Pick the brains of these guys, they've been there and done it. What do they wish they had done differently?? You get the drift...Good luck x
Iona! I'm loving your idea for this series and this first video so far. Hearing you share your golf philosophy and how we might all improve our game together through this series is exciting. I think it can really work!! Thanks for doing this, I love watching golf content and I've a feeling your videos and your unique approach are going to be really important tools in my own golf bag of goodies. UPDATE: I've finished watching the whole vid now and it delivers!! Finding the 'red' tee, come on! Keep doing what you're doing Iona, its great. Here's a thought, is "On course with Iona" worth considering as a subtle change to the channel name before you hit your first million?
Iona this is so cool! Ever since Rick's channel, I have been watching your content. I also play EA's golf game and you should've seen the big smile I had when the announcer sent it down to Iona Stephen for my putt. Seriously this is awesome and a great thing for women's golf and RUclips golf!
What can I say! You got me hooked. I saw part 2 yesterday. Love this. Hope you keep this going. Your game is great your attitude is second to none. Hope to see plenty more of your videos.
Awesome watching you play Iona!! That was Fun!! Thought your swing was pretty smooth , and solid!! Looks like a fun place to play! Gonna be fun watching these!!!
Thanks Iona. I really enjoyed this video and I'm looking to more episodes coming up. Love your energy! Like many others I really enjoyed watching your game with Rick at Crail. I can't believe you play so seldom. You've still got it! Heathland is nice but it would be great to see some episodes on the links, and why not some hidden gems. A guest is also nice to share the banter. Rick, Pete, are always fun but I'm sure you can also lure some male and female pros with your connections. Perhaps some legends who we don't see much anymore? Cheers
Great series and your an amazing golfer too.. would be great to play more of the beautiful courses in Scotland alongside Mr Shiels too would be fun. Maybe a few celebs from up that way ?
This is amazing content @ontheroadwithiona , great pacing of video. Loved you explaining the shots and the little tips and stories, your a great presenter and amazing golfer Iona. Cant wait for more and some guests would be amazing. Move over break 75 we have a new golf course vlog and its the nuts. Keep it up Iona
CLICK THE BELL FOR IONA!!
Love the game...love the series...love the lady...! Wishing you fairways & greens.....!
Brilliant series 👍👍
4 to +4 in 18 months......you are a machine Iona!
Iona, I used to be off plus 3 when I was 15 years old. Watching you has given me the drive to get out my ping eye 2,s out the barn and intend to start playing again after 45 years of not playing. Thank you for some amazing content and tips.x ❤
Really looking forward to this Series!
I'm here for this!!! After the Rick Shiels episode I've wanted more of the gameplay from Iona. The commentary, the conversation, the course knowledge, sometimes history tidbits. This is going to be amazing.
Coulod not agree more. Saw the same episode & watched evrything she's done since then. Superb commentary, great to lisetn to & watch.
Would rather watch someone with Iona's presentation skills than any "influencer" golf RUclipsr. She's pure class.
Really enjoyed the video Iona. Saw the RS video with you when it came out and was so impressed with your game. Considering how little chances you get to play, your game is proper solid.
Agree 100%!!
Can't wait to watch this series, the Rick shields episode,was great, your personality, and accent has won me .Rod from Australia
Iona is so good for golf, wether it’s playing or commentating she’s so enthusiastic, natural and engaging for all levels of players. 👍⛳️
💯 👍🏻
I could watch that smile all day. The excellent golf and commentary is a plus. Love the series.
Iona is just the best. Commentary is so pleasant and the golf is great. The match with Rick is still one of my favorite watches.
Loved watching this. Keep them coming.
As a somewhat creaky 76 year old golfer, I will remember your excellent points about taking the club that YOU need (not being prideful) and accepting that you don’t have to judge by perfection more by enjoyment…. great series 👏🏻👏🏻
I'm very happy watching and listening to you.
Really enjoyed this and your honesty, forever chasing red ⛳️💥🏌♂️
Said it before and I'll say it again. "Media superstar in the making". Natural, down-to-earth, and so very genuine.
I like the…”yeh I’m happy with that” for the shot that was about 2’ from the pin!!!!! 🤷🏻I’d have been going nuts! 🤣 Great start Iona….big fan of all your work and love to see you out on course! Looking forward to the series! Garforth Golf Club West Yorkshire! Good course. 👍🏻
Iona is a true gem. So glad that she will be posting regularly. Definitely an instant like every time!
Love the video. Looking forward to watching the next one.
This is gonna be a proper series. Something about Iona's manner on camera and presentation skills that just put you at ease, a true professional and a great golfer. Love it.
I'm going to enjoy this.....Iona, we need a WITB👍
Loved this. She is such a natural at golf and presenting.
Great idea for a new series....and a more than decent start!
Your videos with Rick and others have inspired my daughter to take up golf. She was excited to watch this together and now wants to start her own breaking 50 challenge (9 holes). Thanks for being an inspiration to young girls and their dads everywhere.
Very enjoyable. More please.
I am thrilled that you've started this series, Iona. Have fun and take care of your wrist!
Forget about Chasing the Red... Run a round with Iona... That was sprint! I was knackered just watching this. Keep up the series, love it.
Love the pace of this. Very relaxing. Such interesting stories and you’re a great story teller too. Keep em coming.
Very watchable, informative and entertaining. Count me in!
Can't wait for the rest of these. Iona is a World-class presenter and golfer!
❤ this and ❤ you Iona, will be following this 👏
Loved this first "Chasing the Red" episode and look forward to seeing it develop.

I enjoyed every minute of it. Loved your commentary and your relaxed approached 😊
I’m so happy to see Iona doing this.
How can anyone not like this lovely
Personality ❤
Love your speech on 4th, great video

Effortless golf and presenting, a real tonic to watch and be inspired. “Lang mae yer lum reek “ young lady.
This is going to be a phenomenal series.Would love to see you play Royal Lytham with Jimmy Bullard as your playing partner.Two people with a real passion for their golf.
That would be so much fun
Iona v Jimmy Bullard would be hilarious and great viewing
Agree with Jimmy Bullard, very funny but such a good golfer as well!
I have to agree, Jimmy Bullard on the channel would be awesome Iona. Loving this so far as it’s so open and honest filming. Great to watch so far. Would love to see you come and play Royal Portrush and a few other courses in NI.

Wow great straight shots off the tee. Very impressive..
I'm not sure I've encountered such an extraordinary person on youtube as yourself Iona. You are an inspirational character, and so positive in what you do it is almost impossible not to take it on board. Keep it up!
Great round! I'm with you on the journey chasing the red.
Would love to see a few rounds with your dogs. They don't care how well you play and have an amazing calming effect on everyone around them.
Nice round and fun video to watch, thanks

Really enjoyed watching you play…your commentary…and your great attitude 🤩
Loved this. Great insight into your early story of golf. Also how to make shooting even par look so easy! 👏🏻🙌🏻

Absolutely loved this. Look forward to more 🙌🏼
Looking very much forward to watch more Chasing the red, my new favorite you tube golfer!
Terrific Iona. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one already.
Iona this is so cool! Ever since Rick's channel, I have been watching your content. I also play EA's golf game and you should've seen the big smile I had when the announcer sent it down to Iona Stephen for my putt. Seriously this is awesome and a great thing for women's golf and RUclips golf!
Really enjoyed that, camera work was amazing. Looking forward to watching more.
Great viewing and insight for all golfers, mindset always helps.
What can I say! You got me hooked. I saw part 2 yesterday. Love this. Hope you keep this going. Your game is great your attitude is second to none. Hope to see plenty more of your videos.

Loved it all Iona. I hope there's a bunch more coming!
Lovely series. Love see u play Swinley Forest.
You are a wonderful young lady who is wonderful for golf. Who needs to watch pros when we can watch you, Rick and other RUclips golfers?
Looking forward to more of this Iona! :)
Absolutely incredible, thank you so much for this, really enjoyed it. What a lovely swing. Keep well Iona.
Great vlog Iona, looking forward to more of these.
Great first episode! Well done 🤩
Good luck with the new series Iona, great Level par round.
Great series and your an amazing golfer too.. would be great to play more of the beautiful courses in Scotland alongside Mr Shiels too would be fun. Maybe a few celebs from up that way ?
Looking forward to the series. I have learned to enjoy the journey that golf presents and not focus so much on the destination.
Iona, the way you explained your plan for each stroke was captivating. I'm in.
You got this!!!
Not heard anyone say drat for 40 years! Subscribed on that basis 😂
What an enjoyable watch. Keep this going Iona it was fresh. Loved your commentary and insights into your game. We want more!
Great video. Really excited to see more.
