  • EVERY SHOT IN 8 MINUTES (Unico Grande Golf Club)
    A round of golf at Unico Grande golf course in Bangkok, Thailand. It's a par 63 executive course that has many par 3s on the back 9.
    I'm James, a golfer with a dodgy swing now playing off a 14.8 handicap.
    I am in Thailand for the winter & spring and will be back to posting UK golf content this summer.

    James, let's be honest. We love when you hit birdies, we love when you hit triple and quadruple.
    You are the most positive golfer on YT.
    That is why we all love your content.
    Last week I was playing with a random guy, and after the first hole he said:
    "Triple bogey on opening hole... No drama...".
    I looked at him, he looked at me, I asked "You watch James?" "YEAH!"
    And we started laughing like maniacs ;-)

    "What a difference a day makes,
    24 little hours .."
    Remember that?
    Great comeback James!

    Been following you for ages - two rounds show like you say how funny golf is.
    Well done on this 9

    What a comeback! I would have taken up fishing after the previous days 9 holes. I would have started my fishing with my golf bag also! Really like watching your channel!! Thanks for your efforts!

    Well done James. Sometimes you just hit a groove and nothing can go wrong. The most important distance in golf is the space between your ears. Keeping that calm shaves shots off a round.

      Very true. Good shots lead to more good thoughts and then it snowballs into good scores :)

    It's a funny old game. It's why we come back day after day, week after week. Great round. Good explanation at the end as well, relax, patience, commit to each shot. 👌

      Cheers mate. The first round I was rushing around playing quicker than normal without realising it. This round I would have taken a +7 but to get to Evs was amazing. Thanks for watching :)

    Getting back on the horse! You were fortunate to do that the next day. Sometimes we have to wait a week to banish the nightmare of the previous round. Well played James!

    • @notaperfectgolfer3489
      @notaperfectgolfer3489  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was weird I couldn't get the +19 out of my head the night after that round. It was crazy to score the best I ever had the day after. Golf is indeed a funny old game! :)

    Funny how the golf gods have a way of extending our life long membership, with a round that brings us back from the brink. Indeed a funny ol game....Nice putting display!

  • @matthewmeadows1617
    @matthewmeadows1617 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    James, my handicap is 5.1 and I shot a 94. I never gave up, I shot 78 the next round.

  • @neilpeace7734
    @neilpeace7734 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Much smoother here from shot 1 so no surprises there. You could actually see a bit of tension in the drive. Amazing the number of times that happens when you are called through and you know someone is watching the shot. 🙄 Nice round James and a great watch. Happy days indeed! 🙂 Maybe part of it was getting used to the speed of the greens it's usually easier the second time round I think.

    • @notaperfectgolfer3489
      @notaperfectgolfer3489  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, getting called through when you're not expecting can sometimes disrupt your rhythm. Thanks for watching :)

    @LeeHobbies 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Brilliant James. I'd watched your previous round before this one and it was great to see you come back strong. Playing on consecutive days can really make a difference, although I've only done it twice. Coincidentally, my handicap was 27 when yours was. And quite literally, my current handicap is 14.6, so you're like my pace setter, haha. I've only played 25 rounds in that time due to work and money, but well over 100 at the range on the virtual golf with toptracer. My original aim was an 18 handicap, and I got there with better clubs and a million hours of TH-cam coaching videos. I think we have similar swings and needs in clubs. Let me tell you though, give a Ping G400 SFT a go, they're pretty damn cheap now and possibly the second most forgiving driver ever made (after the new one with the crazy £600 price tag). I am certain it would suit your swing, add even more accuracy and distance to your drives. Anyway, a pleasure to watch you play as always, many thanks.

      Thanks for the tip I'll have to try it. Yeah, sometimes the swing is there and sometimes it isn't. Playing on consecutive days really improves my putting as seen in this round. Thanks for watching mate :)

    Fantastic! Well played James - I've never had level par over 9 anywhere and don't anticipate it ever. I'm going to watch the next posted video ( the previous day), now, with the schadenfreude dialled up a bit. Impressive beard too.

      I'd definitely have taken it at the start. If a couple more putts dropped I might have been -2 which is insane! :)

      Cheers Mark. I wonder what those 2 caddies thought? The first one must have been thinking am I a beginner what am I doing with a camera? The 2nd one might have been thinking if few more putts dropped I could've threatened the course record! lol :)
