    To keep your composure, to keep a smile on your face, when things are going awry is indicative of a strong mind and spirit. Good on ya Matt. Not sure I've ever been more impressed with someone who put up a high-80s score. You're a solid guy and we love ya for it.

    So, the coffin bunker looks like a good time. Haha! Matt being a really good player, I can only imagine that I'd still be attempting to get out of it! What impresses me the most about you Matt, is how well you keep your wits about you when things start going wrong. Most of us would let it completely ruin our round at such a beautiful course. I know there is obviously frustration but you don't allow yourself to get "physically" mad and let it affect your round like most of us amateurs would! More than anything, watching your videos has taught me to stay calm because golf is hard!

    Loved this Matty. I was fortunate to play there in July with my Mum. I was desperate to hit the Postage Stamp green but like you I hit the Coffin Bunker! I was so close to the lip that I didn't have a back swing and when I asked the caddie 'how do you play this?' he just laughed and shrugged his shoulders - will never forget it. I got out in 2 but I don't have your putting ability. Keep these up - there are some amazing courses to share with the viewers.

This surly was not your finest round, but WHAT a course to play and the memories that you have from it. I HOPE one day, I get to walk those grounds!

    Wow, that brought back memories. We were the first game out on Royal Troon after the Open in '89, Monday 6am. Front 9 was downwind, back 9 into. Got to the turn in 34, turned into the wind and started back 10 on the 10th, 12 on the 11th 🤦‍♂!! Finished with a 54 on the back 9 for 88 😂!! One of the all time great golf courses, but exactly as you said, any errors get properly punished. Great content Matt, thanks 👍.

    Gene Sarazen at 70 played the Postage Stamp twice - got a 1 and (the followiing day) a 2 (holing from a bunker!). This is the hardest course I've ever played - the back 9 had eight holes right into the wind & rain. But Matt you kept your commentator's cool though you did tell us all about those moments of pain. Recommend a round at Western Gailes - a great design

    @stephenmassey5144 Год назад

    As painful as it was to watch the struggle it was also encouraging to see the struggle. We'd all love to be consistent and shoot level par, or better, but seeing someone that is capable of hitting level par struggle to hit in the mid 80's makes it more relatable. When it's not your day it's, it's not your day. And seeing your frustration and non-verbals "scream" trying to pinpoint what's wrong in your game when nothing perhaps "feels" especially off was insightful.
