you know your content is fire and you've cultivated a great community when after 12 hours you have 5.5k views from 7.4k subscribers - always look forward to climbing into bed and pressing play when i see you've uploaded mate. Will definitely get some merch soon!
Fairly new subscriber, and I am thoroughly enjoying watching. I have not golfed in 20 odd years, but am interested in picking it back up and a bit more seriously. Watching an average player play and review things without bias is great for 95% of the golfing community. Don't ever change that.
Thanks for the preview mate, am here on golf vacation and all your vlogs are excellent preparations for our round! Hope to hit em balls as well as you though! Super nice round
Solid round Luke, your game is improving greatly. Loving the 2 iron you sure have found a club which is a keeper. I enjoyed your Gran Canaria series, those sceneries where marvelous. Cheers mate keep those quality videos coming.
Just found this channel and I love it. Just got back into golf after not playing for over 8 years and these videos just want to get me out and playing. Keep up the great work.
First timer to this channel - really good video. I had the absolute pleasure of playing Anfi Tauro last month, as well as Meloneras, wonderful wonderful course and worth every penny.
That was a very enjoyable video. I love when I play with some wonderful people and we cheer each other on. It makes for a great day. Thanks for the shout out on the new merchandise. I will definitely go and buy some after this comment. I wish you all the luck and want to see you grow your channel in the future.
really enjoying your videos, as somebody who has only started 6 weeks ago, your giving me a lot of help just by having these videos available to watch, look forward to what's next for you!
Just bought one of your caps. They're sweet. Love your content and delighted to be able to support the channel. Will send you a pic from the lads golfing weekend in West Sussex in a couple of weeks. 🤜🤛
Just getting into actually playing myself, found your channel a little while ago and enjoy how relaxed and real it feels. If you ever find yourself in Dubai, let’s have a round 👊🏼
Beautiful course, and not a bad round all things considered. Given difficulty I’d be pumped with how ya finished up. Another great video. Best of luck to you, Fents and Woody in the Road to the Belfry!
Great vlog I’ve just got back into golf almost a year now! In fact I’ve just joined my old club again. I really enjoy watching the videos it sort of takes the pressure off, gives me a lot more confidence👍
Great design on many of those courses where the wayward shots often bounce back into the fairway off rock banks, love it! Makes me want to go there, well done.
It's fun to watch someone who is enjoying golf. You are athletic and young. Lots of years to enjoy. You might enjoy it more if you got some putting lessons. A little help with the swing, but mostly the putter! Have fun out there!
G-day Luke, that looked like fun. Thanks for your encouragement recently and I'll be sure to keep your thoughts in mind. I watched one of your early rounds before this one, got to say mate, your consistency, particularly with your driver, and long irons is noteworthy both then and now. I'll probably give it another go next week, thanks for the inspiration.
Aha the consistency comes and goes Paul! I'm in the middle of a real struggle with my driver. Some days it's great, some days I can't keep the ball in play. All the best!
Yaaaaas the lads on tour 👍🏻😁🏌️♂️ I can only imagine the carnage u 3 will b causing 🤣 can’t wait to watch the footage 👏 Good round tho m8 u came thru ur wee wobbly on the back 9 there but all in all a decent score of 91 well played 👏 🏴
im a mid handicapper that's struggled with chunking the ball...totally fixed it when I got my lie angle flat...toe up in the stance makes the heel dig into the ground. Raise the hands and lower the toe, may help.
What a lovely looking course great video too, well played Luke your putting was pretty solid tbf anytime your in the northeast England and fancy taking on the lads from CLgolf both 17HC give us a shout ⛳️
ever since i learned to turn my shoulders out when putting and sorta locking them in place, ive gotten a lot more accurate and consistent with the pendulum motion when putting. getting the club head square on the ball is most key even if the swing isnt straight.
Great rounds, watching makes me wanna go play golf. You are inspiration for starter golfers like myself. Had a starter lesson last week and I can see in your putts what the instructor was telling to us. Your back swing is much lower then where your putter ends up after the swing. Saw it in this video so just heads up for you may cause some inconsistency in distance as u accelerate with the putter. Keep up the good work !
I enjoy you’re channel because you show how the majority of us golfers play. I do have a question for you. What 2 iron do you hit? Is it a “driving iron”? Thanks for your video.
You should work on that drill where you place a wedge under your trail heal and to force you to keep that foot down longer. That may help keep you from standing up out of your swing and flipping. 👍🏼
Aww nice video! 44 on first 9 is great! yeah that par 3 really messed you up, otherwise you would be 40-42 or even lower! wierd coming back in you pretty much played bogey game and scored a lot higher!
Those two triples were a killer. You were breaking 90 with a bit to spare without them. You played very well apart from those two though. But I do hate those one handed tap ins. Asking for a miss. I only do that when it’s 3 inches or less from the hole. Nothing worse than a sloppy stroke on the card for the sake of a couple of seconds. That course though. Spectacular. Like a video game.
You will be living out there soon 😂. Great round aside from the triples. Good luck in the tournament, if it’s stableford don’t let a bad hole get up you and you will score very well
New to your channel mate and really enjoying it! I just watched a video you done on how you improved....how would you say you eliminated the fat/thin shots?? Any tips?? That's what I've been struggling with for years! Cheers
Thanks! We've got a little trip planned up to Dunbar near Edinburgh in July and have a few course lined up there. Looking forward to getting ruined by some proper links courses haha! Gran Canaria only has about 7/8 courses on the island I think and they all are on the premium side. Most of them are about 120/140 Euro per round. They are very good though (although I heard from a few people that Maspalomas Golf Course wasn't up to much so we never played that one)
And this, folks, is an average golfer, at least average among those serious enough about the sport to get a handicap. The only thing I'd note is you play a bit more within yourself than many 15 HC I have played with. I play with guys in the mid-teens who perhaps hit the ball more purely, but who make less wise choices.
Only have 2 things to say 1, some nice shots, well judged distances 2, DIVOTS!!!!! don't just stamp on the ground, put the divot back - - - our greenkeepers will either tell you to do it, or more likely have your membership revoked
@@UpDownGolf your technique is so bad man and you need to improve otherwise it should be around 25 30 , its unfair for golfer who working so hard to play on 15 handicap then watching you easily 15 handicap with poor skill
I assume it's an old 2i so more like a modern 4i (18 degrees or so). Im probably a 15 handicap and play an 18 iron off the fairway instead of a wood or hybrid. A shorter shaft helps me hit it far more consistently.
Please fix that swing😅 Playing for slices and knocking drives 210 yards is what 75 year olds do when their body is knackered. You're young n fit..no excuse. Not being harsh but your skill ceiling will be low if you don't pretty much start from the beginning.

Just came back from the course, had the exact same nr of total shots as you 😂
Yesss! Great course isn't it

Hah yeah very true! Thanks for watching Michael 👍
Good Luck in the tournament!
Great looking course and great video as per usual 😊

Patiently waiting for the next vid !!!!

Thanks Larry! Appreciate it 👍
Just found this site and really enjoyed it. I play off 16 so can relate to your game
Awesome! Thanks Michael 👍
Another signature quality vlog. Putting looks a lot better and only 4 over your handicap. Well Done.
Thanks Bilal 👍 The putting is getting better slowly!
Class mate! We have to go back so I can play here
😂 I'm down

Thanks man! Good to have you 👊
Awesome golf love watching your game. Keep it up you have improved so much I'm trying to get my game to your level 🤙🇦🇺
Thanks man! Appreciate that 👊⛳️
Your golf game reminds me so much of mine! Love the vids!
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching 👊⛳
Spectacular course! Well played sir :)
Thanks Gabriel!
What an amazing looking course.
It's a belter Mark, views are crazy
Yaaaaas the lads on tour 👍🏻😁🏌️♂️ I can only imagine the carnage u 3 will b causing 🤣 can’t wait to watch the footage 👏
Good round tho m8 u came thru ur wee wobbly on the back 9 there but all in all a decent score of 91 well played 👏 🏴
😂😂 Carnage is one word for it Jason! Fents likes to be tucked up for 9pm 👀😂 Thanks mate! Hope you're well
im a mid handicapper that's struggled with chunking the ball...totally fixed it when I got my lie angle flat...toe up in the stance makes the heel dig into the ground. Raise the hands and lower the toe, may help.
Interesting, cheers Matt 👍
I am loving you vids man! Great Channel!!!
Thanks dude! Appreciate it 👊⛳
What a lovely looking course great video too, well played Luke your putting was pretty solid tbf anytime your in the northeast England and fancy taking on the lads from CLgolf both 17HC give us a shout ⛳️
Thanks boys 👍
ever since i learned to turn my shoulders out when putting and sorta locking them in place, ive gotten a lot more accurate and consistent with the pendulum motion when putting. getting the club head square on the ball is most key even if the swing isnt straight.
Nice work! It's harder than you'd think it would be
love the vibes in the game! don't forget to put the merch link on the bio though hahah! cheers!
🤦♂️ Thanks Flick 😂
new to this channel...great editing, commentating and very entertaining to watch
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
The fact that those other two guys didn’t mark their balls on the greens and made you put around them basically was driving me nuts! Nice round sir!
Aha they were good lads. Golf wasn't really their thing tbh. Thanks man!
Nice video man, golf looks great 🏌
Thanks man!

This course is super enjoyable and its hard and not to hard at the same time. Great golf!
Totally agree Espen!
Where’s my break 80 mate? 😂😂😂😂😂 congratulations on your new merch mate 💪🏻
Arrghhh I'm working on it I promise mate! 😂 Thanks Zulhilmi! 👊⛳
I enjoy you’re channel because you show how the majority of us golfers play. I do have a question for you. What 2 iron do you hit? Is it a “driving iron”? Thanks for your video.
Thanks man! It's a P790 UDI 2 Iron 👍
Loving my U&D beanie and cap. Just need to learn how to hit the ball now and I might get a channel feature..
You were a way off last time I saw you 👀
@@UpDownGolf it's been a while.. improvements have been made.
🤔 hhmm
I wouldn't complain about that effort. An unknown course can be a fun round. Well done and good luck in the comp.
Thanks Richard, appreciate it!
Keep going with the videos mate!! Great work!
Thanks Matt! 👊⛳
Possibly the best looking course I’ve seen on your channel. Nice round.
Yeah it's a stunner Brad. Thanks man!
@@UpDownGolf BTW -- I like the hats. Will order one tomorrow.
Oh well. It looks like no delivery to the US.
That's my bad Brad, I had the settings set to UK only 🤦♂️ It should work now!
@@UpDownGolf It did. Thanks. Order done.
Loving this channel
Thanks Pen!
You made it look fun.
Thanks William!
That course looks amazing!
The views around it are mad
Chipping and driving looked solid, definitely a big difference if you can do both pretty well. 👍
For sure MB 👍
Decent round for a golf course you never played. Love your videos keep uploading more please
Thanks man! More to come 👊⛳
Good round Luke just an off day with the putter
Thanks Joe, couldn’t get the putter going
Great finish!
Thanks PNW! 👊⛳
You should work on that drill where you place a wedge under your trail heal and to force you to keep that foot down longer. That may help keep you from standing up out of your swing and flipping. 👍🏼
Interesting, thanks for the tip man 👍
Wow what a beautiful place for a golf course….👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome course T
Aww nice video! 44 on first 9 is great! yeah that par 3 really messed you up, otherwise you would be 40-42 or even lower! wierd coming back in you pretty much played bogey game and scored a lot higher!
I'm always good for a couple of those holes annoyingly 😂 Appreciate you watching! 👊⛳
Saw you playing pontefract & District today, looking for your ball down the 5th :D
no camera gear though...
Yeah that was me! Should have said hello 👍 no I didn’t film that round. I was playing in a society
Those two triples were a killer. You were breaking 90 with a bit to spare without them. You played very well apart from those two though. But I do hate those one handed tap ins. Asking for a miss. I only do that when it’s 3 inches or less from the hole. Nothing worse than a sloppy stroke on the card for the sake of a couple of seconds.
That course though. Spectacular. Like a video game.
Yeah I just need to weed them out of my game. Oh the course was brilliant David 👍
Great video. Merch looks very smart!
Thanks Big Dawg 👍
You will be living out there soon 😂. Great round aside from the triples. Good luck in the tournament, if it’s stableford don’t let a bad hole get up you and you will score very well
I wish haha. Thanks Jack! 👊⛳
I love your game from tee to green, its solid. When you master the putter, there will be no stopping you. 😉
Luke Luke Luke
Haha thanks George! 👊⛳
How many days did you spend in Gran Canaria ?😊
Haha I've been over twice this year for a week each time. Fully recommended 👍
Enjoyed that. New subscriber 🛎
Thanks Scott! Good to have you 👊
great video! fun to watch! all i can say is, you move your head too much while putting. keep it a little more still and you'll sink those more often
My putting definitely needs a little work 👍
Damn this is a beautiful course
It's awesome!
What a course! Great round, once you get your putter dialled in to stop them 3 putts you’ll be breaking 90 every round.
Thanks Dane, I'm working on it 👍
drive on hole 5 was CRISP
Aha I don't get too many 😂
You did aight lad. Hands down.
Thanks Adam 👍
good watch - those chunked shots could probably be avoided by holding the grip slightly down. your left hand is almost off the grip on those shots
I get tense on course where I feel more relaxed on a range too. I need to work on getting that feeling on course more 👍
Fair play for using a 2 iron,👍
It's working at the moment Jamie 👍
New to your channel mate and really enjoying it! I just watched a video you done on how you improved....how would you say you eliminated the fat/thin shots?? Any tips?? That's what I've been struggling with for years! Cheers
Glad to hear that Scott! Ahh I’ve definitely not eliminated them sadly. But I’d say they’ve lessened through reducing the tension in my swing 👍
What a gorgeous looking course! Looked rather scary though at times 😂
Amazing views everywhere you look on this one mate!
@@UpDownGolf Absolutely, loved the series of vids from Gran Canaria! Where's next on the list? How expensive was the trip if you don't mind my asking?
Thanks! We've got a little trip planned up to Dunbar near Edinburgh in July and have a few course lined up there. Looking forward to getting ruined by some proper links courses haha! Gran Canaria only has about 7/8 courses on the island I think and they all are on the premium side. Most of them are about 120/140 Euro per round. They are very good though (although I heard from a few people that Maspalomas Golf Course wasn't up to much so we never played that one)
@@UpDownGolf oh yes that sounds great! Looking forward to that and the Road to the Belfy... 😂
Beautiful course! What country?
Gran Canaria Len 👍
How long have you had that 2 iron in your bag!? I've never noticed it before!
Not too long Jonathan. I struggle with the woods and hybrids so thought I'd give it a go. Wouldn't be without it now
Great course.. How much was it?
It was about 140 Euro
Credit to ya luke well sone , short game very good , where’s fens at
Thanks Neil! Left him at home for this one 😂
Just 3 bad holes, I’d say that was a really good round on what looks like a pretty tough course ✌🏼✌🏼
Thanks T! 👊⛳
And this, folks, is an average golfer, at least average among those serious enough about the sport to get a handicap. The only thing I'd note is you play a bit more within yourself than many 15 HC I have played with. I play with guys in the mid-teens who perhaps hit the ball more purely, but who make less wise choices.
Interesting 👍 Thanks for watching!
i love realistic golf
Thanks for watching!
What is the course rating/slope?
Slope was 136 off the yellows I think
¿Porqué no termina ningún golpe?
Si
Only have 2 things to say
1, some nice shots, well judged distances
2, DIVOTS!!!!! don't just stamp on the ground, put the divot back - - - our greenkeepers will either tell you to do it, or more likely have your membership revoked
Thanks. I do fix divots properly I just don't film me doing so. It wouldn't make for a good video
Actually you shouldn't put divots back. The grass is dead once it is separated from its roots. Fill it with sand and it will grow back faster.
hi pal, what irons do you use?
I use P790s Lee 👍
From what I saw, if you took an extra club on most of your approach shots, you’d probably have shaved 10 strokes. Good luck with the journey!
You might be right there, cheers!
That would be playing to your weaknesses though...not good for long term progression.
I might start a "what a 25 handicap golf ACTUALLY looks like" series
Do it
Why is a 15 handicapper using a 2 iron?
Because I like it
Does this guys really a 15 handicap golfer
I am 👍
@@UpDownGolf I think you better at 30 handicap
Maths isn't your strong suit I see
@@UpDownGolf your technique is so bad man and you need to improve otherwise it should be around 25 30 , its unfair for golfer who working so hard to play on 15 handicap then watching you easily 15 handicap with poor skill
based on your score you're definitely not a 15 handicap, closer to 19 handicap
😂
I think you need to shorten your driver an inch.
Interesting. It isn't fitted
15 handicapper with a 2 iron in his hand ? Seriously ??? 🤣🤣🤣
You mean I shouldn't be able to hit it?
@@UpDownGolf Consistently, there are much easier to hit clubs to have in your bag than a 2 iron. Even many pro's don't carry a 2 iron.
I assume it's an old 2i so more like a modern 4i (18 degrees or so). Im probably a 15 handicap and play an 18 iron off the fairway instead of a wood or hybrid. A shorter shaft helps me hit it far more consistently.
It's a P790 UDI 2 Iron 17 degrees loft
Cracking video this mate would rather watch golf like this than perfect shot after shot like most videos much more on my level 😂🔥🏌🏻 well played bro
Appreciate that man! Thanks for watching 👍
Please fix that swing😅 Playing for slices and knocking drives 210 yards is what 75 year olds do when their body is knackered. You're young n fit..no excuse. Not being harsh but your skill ceiling will be low if you don't pretty much start from the beginning.
