- Can I break 100? - EVERY SHOT IN 11 MINUTES
A round of golf at Silver Birch course in Betws Yn Rhos. It's a par 3 course with a relaxed atmosphere, footgolf and no dress code.
The round cost £15 in June 2021. The prices have since increased and it's now £18 for 18 holes.
I'm James, a golfer with a dodgy swing playing off a 27 hcp. I'm looking to break 100 this year without taking any formal golf lessons. Even if I don't shoot a good score I always enjoy strolling around the fairways of North Wales, UK :-)
I like to play lots of different courses and today it's at the Silver Birch course in Betws Yn Rhos.
Todays course: silverbirchgol...

The fact that you took the effort and time to make this enjoyable video tells me what a great golfer you are and you enjoyed your golfing. There are many who have good scores but are stressed out every time they play because their scores disappointed them.
You're right, a lot of people don't seem to enjoy the game unless they are playing their A game every time they tee up. I was once in a group behind a guy and every putt he missed he'd f bomb at the top of his voice! Quite funny actually! haha thanks for watching :-)
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 That guy was probably me 🤣
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 it's me I'm that guy. I'm a 2-6 handicap depending on course. I get so pissed if I don't hit under 5 over
You play better when you don’t care either. That second shot character we all have shows up a lot more. Great video
ehh no bunkers its seems kinda ez. but i am probly will do 4+ more than you.
Top video mate, was cheering you on by the end of it with those putts. Love it! If all golfers played with your mindset, it would be a much better game! Cheers!
Greetings from America! Stumbled across your videos and love them. I appreciate you taking the time to show us every shot. I shot 102 today (my best score ever😂) and look forward to getting sub 100! Cheers
Keep going Shayne you will get there! :-)
This video reminds me of my early years of golf. If i got under 110 i was ecstatic. I once scored 65 on a nine hole course that only had a par score of 31 ! So you can see how bad i was. 20 years on and I'm off 17 at 60, with a best 18 hole score of 81. Keep at it and enjoy. And save yourself lots of time by finding a good pro. Great video.
Exact same here...52, oklahoma
You're such a relaxed golfer, which is great to see. I hope you keep going lower as you continue to improve. Cheers!
Thanks for the video. If you worked on your putting your handicap would probably come down loads! have you watched Phil Micklesons putting tutorials? They are super helpful and talk about the 'dustbin lid' / working on getting nothing more than a two put etc etc. The green is where the score happens. Your iron and woods shots were pretty consistent and good, keep it up!
I watched one Big Phil putting video and it really helped with my 3 footers. He said 25 % back and 75 % through and it clicked for me. Plus another one of them was about every greenside chip should end up within 3 ft of the hole. Thanks for watching
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 the one I really like to help with two putts is to imagine a round bin lid around the hole and get the ball inside that, helps with two putts. Happy playing
Tbh these greens hes playing on dont look great, especially around the holes
@@petermatthews2831 yeah very true! But still putting is vital if youre trying to get scores down
Was fun to watch you play. You seem to really enjoy golf which is fantastic!! Keep making more videos.
Great viewing... wish there was more content like this on youtube. Fair play m8.
I kept watching tour golfers on TH-cam, finally a video I can enjoy and relate to, keep up the good work my friend, subbed !!
You got the spirit of the game and where it’s all about. You certainly did. It’s amazing to watch you on your path and I a, truly impressed how much and fast you are progressing. And your videos are really fun to watch. So relaxing. Great job, great golf, great video. Thanks for sharing.
Your chipping around the green with your SW is brilliant. So many good points about your game You sort your putting out your on for some superb rounds. Well played pal loved the video. Subscribed. 👍🏻
Have really enjoyed your recent videos so decided to look at older ones. Cannot believe how quickly you have improved. You used to slice everything and now you can play with a draw and have halved your handicap in 9 months. Well done.
Cheers Greg, I really used to slice and dice my way through the courses back then! Thanks for watching :-)
Great video! If you have more videos like this I will gladly sit and watch you play!
Finally a golfer I can relate to even though you still would beat me by 10 but I enjoy the game & the walk⛳️. Nice swing slow & in control you stay pretty straight I’m fast & out of control not often straight. Well maybe you taught me something already ⛳️ A game for life!
Thanks!
What a majestic slice. All the weak first putts were the icing on the cake.
This was actually fun to watch, well produced
Hi James love the channel always looking out for you next episode!! Keep up the good work..
Great watch. Thanks for posting. Nice to see a modest golfer having fun. Some decent hits in there and shame you imploded on a couple of greens. Good luck with your game.
I have played there when i used to live in Llandudno. Lovely little place. I really miss the scenery in North Wales - beautiful place.
Great video! Like the way you say “no drama” each time you bogey. It isn’t of course a ‘drama’ you just enjoy your golf on that day.
I love this, so refreshing to see someone who embraces their game and how they play, so sick of all these Instagram and tiktok 'golfers' who's yardages are 20 percent over the pga tour average, just bollocks.
Well done though, one of the real golfers, that's what handicaps are for after all. Some good play there, keep it up 👍
Love the vid, man. And some really good golf. You can always tell when people put dedication into their videos and yours stands out. Good luck with the golf game!
As someone just starting out, I love this! Can see you really enjoy the game and that’s also what I’m trying to get out of it. Cheers man!
Love the honesty of your videos, very relaxing to watch very enjoyable, subbed and keep making videos my dude.
Subbed mate what a relaxing well edited vid this was. Top efforts on your game too
Good stuff. A lot of people would pay plenty to be that consistent off the tee!
Interesting to see how a fellow high handicap golfer plays :-)
Good round Bud you drive like me high and left with a big cut.Your a much better player than your handicap says.I enjoyed the video it reminded me of playing golf in the Dublin Mountains lovely views and green field's
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Happy new year mate.
Cheers m8, happy new year! :-)
10/10 on the editing. Great work!
BTW - If you ever lose a ball, you have the one shot penalty, then have to re-hit from the original spot (in your case on Hole 3, it's the tee box).
Hey man great vid! This actually inspired me to do the same on golf courses and was wondering what video camera you use? A response would be greatly appreciated
Just subscribed... Nice seeing someone who is relatable. Wish we had a mostly par 3 course here in Michigan where I am from. Great video.
Have you ever been to treetops in Gaylord? I'm from Northern Michigan and tree tops has a par 3 course. It used to host a tournament with players like Jack Nicklaus Lee Trevino Phil Mickelson was in it once I believe and other people. You can find videos of it here on TH-cam. And there's one by Midland can't remember the name of it.
First video I have watched and you played better than a 27 handicapper for the most part! The putting could have been better but I'm sure you already know that.
Keep plugging away! I took up golf last year and was off 34, now down to 20. You could get there soon enough 👍
This was fantastic. Post more!
Thank you for having us watching your round. Its almost the same with me, relaxed and cool. I'm sure you realized that almost all of your first putts(1 was long enough) kept short or lost direction due to lacking speed. Have nice rounds and keep it up.
Great round of golf, James. Well done mate. ⛳️
Ball striking is very good. Very consistent for such a high handicapper.
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Agree. I play far better (than this) 90% of the time, but that 10% may include a wild slice OOB, a chip directly into water and then a 4 putt 😄
Some of your putting looks great, good work
I just found your content. LOVE IT.
I think im a 16, 17
And I like watching golfers like us more than the pros
Good good is a good follow also, love watching people get better
Enjoyable to watch and great to see some not perfect golf, very relatable at times! Good editing and liked how well you know ur fade etc. Only thing i'd suggest is the voice over was a touch quite compared to the golf audio at times. Made a subscriber out of me though :)
Nice course that’s one I’ve played a few times up and down fairways you know you’ve had a work out when you have walked this one good course management
A good, honest video. I enjoyed your relaxed style while working well with your shot shape. You obviously enjoy the game and that's what its all about. Nice little course too. Keep it up James.
Cheers Andy, will do! :-)
Yes work with your shape
Excellent, we’ve all been there starting out & some still after a few years ! Second shot on 14 👌🏽 keep enjoying mate ……….
Wonderful video. How do you get the shot tracer?
Nice how the balls often stops at 22ft from the hole ;)
What an enjoyable video to watch ! If you don’t mind my asking what software do you use for the shot tracer? I would love to do videos for personal development but don’t know where to start with the tracers
Sweet video. It's something I can imagine being on the RGC channel 😁👍
Fair play James. One tip would be to line up more parallel to the target for your tee shots. If you aim a long way left, you are encouraging a slice. Enjoy the golf and good luck.
He seems to be playing to his slice intentionally. Quite frustrating to see it working for him tbh.
His drive has a fade
@@TOMOJWWW that's an understatement 😆
@@aaroningl how many fairways does he hit with his driver?
@@TOMOJWWW can't remember. One hell of a slice tho.
I know there is a lot of effort to put this all together. Great content on your channel.
Great golfin! Those seem like tough greens!!!
Love your vids. I did have a bit of a laugh though. Those greens are tricky!!
Yeah, they're not exactly PGA approved!
Top man. We already love North Wales and now you're showing us all the courses... another reason to visit.
On another note i struggle with driving. Your technique is hopefully one i can implement
FYI, on hole 3, losing the ball would be a stroke AND distance penalty (unless red staked hazard area) so you should be hitting your 3rd from the previous spot, which would be back on the tee again in this instance. If using the local rule for pace of play, it would be a 2 stroke penalty to drop in the fairway nearest to the point it went out.
Best of luck with your progress in your game!
Hes not playing on the tour Ed
@@jalu372 I am aware. Does that mean he shouldn't score properly? He is tracking a handicap and anyone posting scores for handicap purposes should score legitimately. Many people don't understand that rule, so I'm just letting him know if he wants to keep it honest. He can write whatever score he wants still
Many players lose three balls a round. This would be three strokes avoided by not playing to correct rules. Whether intentional or not, I think lots of people score this situation incorrectly
“Executive courses” (Par 59 to 62) like these are great. You can mess up a tee shot and still be left with a wedge or short iron opportunity that we have to master at some point when playing the par 70 and 72s. I find it harder to lower the handicap on courses like these due to the course rating/slope because a par 3 is still a pesky par 3. Ultimately the goal is to nail it on the short par 4s as they are totally reachable in 2. Nice video work. Smooth and steady.
I really enjoyed this. Thanks
Great vid, love the format
What do you use for your shot tracer? Love the content btw
On the fringe and short,swap out sw for 7 iron
A duffed bump and run is always better than a bad chip
I use a 9 and put the ball in the back of my stance. Swing more pendulum (similar to a putt). Has absolutely changed my game close to the green.
idk i always chip with a 60 degree around the green and it helps to put spin on the ball
Very informative video mate but I’d advise to stop aiming so left to combat the slight will only make the slice worse over time I use to be in the same boat
Your chipping game is on point!
Cool video. Unlucky with some putts! Couple of minor adjustments and that handicap will come down a chunk.
Man I wish I had your chill attitude. Good stuff, keep grinding. Learning how to chip and putt will reduce your handicap significantly btw 👍
Good vid. Great course locaton.
Feedback..
You aim left on putting.
Dont use SW from just off green try 9 or pw.
On drives pull ur right foot back 7" and swing club in and out toward the ball. Get ur weight onto left foot at finish and so r foot just on tip toe. This will get u some shots back.
I like how you cut to each shot, I saw the entire 1st hole in 30 seconds!
I've played here with family and friends. Nice little course, if a little pricey. I think that you would have done better had the greens have been of better quality. I really enjoyed your vid and have subbed. Diolch!
Pricey 😳 those greens are rubbish ! If it’s more than £10 I wouldn’t play it
@@richardbrooks50 they do look pretty poor, don’t they! It costs more to play a round there than my home course (£17.50); the greens at my course are much nicer also.
I think that many people who play these ‘pitch and putt’ courses didn’t realise how much better the greens can be if they join a ‘proper’ course. The green quality makes a difference.
Massive slices, but extreme consistency! I guess consistency is key!!
I'm really enjoying these videos! Keep them coming 👍
Cheers. At least 1 video a week should be the schedule from now on weather permitting!
Love this.Well done buddy.
Good read on the green 2nd shot 5th hole. Hello from the USA.
Good stuff man. You could save a hell of a lot of shots if you could fix that killer slice off the tee. Cracking video though and still some decent consistency
First time here, and i've subscribed ! i'll be wishing you luck along the way ...
Thanks for watching and good luck to you on the fairways too! :-)
That course looks easy.
You try Australian gum tree courses that have wicket keeping gloves on. 😄 🤣
Great vid as ever normally you have 6k views how come this went crazy...?
Great video, can ask what you use for your shot tracing edit in your videos?
Shot Tracer app
My dad a higher handicapper than me hit his chip off of a beach in Scotland onto the green.I got a 25ft downhill birdie,that was cool
Great video mate. What's the software you use to track score cards?
I use the App 'Golfshot.' It has live gps feature that gives yardages on the course too which is great!
He played well! Great video
I’m a 22 hc and your chipping is so much better than mine. If I get any in the air I’m happy.
I’ve been to the range 2x and playing a 9hole course tomorrow :) I wanted to hit at a range before going to play proper, I only bought me a cheap set off fb marketplace for £90 but do the job looking forward to it hopefully I hit a few decent shots but I expect my score to be in the mid 50s for par 36
Good luck and have fun! :-)
Love the video! What camera did you use to film this?
Iphone 11 pro
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 Wow such great quality! How are you getting that shot tracer?
It's like a leprechaun reaches out and smacks his short puts out! "Not in me house!"
Dead on the money pal! :-)
Keep your temperament as it is and plenty of practice on the range in no time your handy cap will drop like a stone, you have a making of a very good golfer 👍
Cheers Kevin, thanks for watching! :-)
You're chipping around the greens is ok. I suggest try using your 7/8 or 9 iron around the greens like a putting stroke keeping it simple. And just commit to your putts. Nice views on the course.
Great upload! Wow that Hole 6 Par 3!
It's a tough one across the valley to a blind green! Thanks for watching :-)
your ball contact is crazy good for a 27 hcp😉
I'd suggest a straighter left arm ( don't let the elbow collapse) and a much shorter backswing from 70 yards and in. same with the long putts.
Hats off pal, loved it. 2 pars to start!
Love the content and also nice course.
Great content! Loving the rounds.
Cheers Matt. I love the playing in the rain videos on your channel! All the best! :-)
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 I appreciate that! Have a great weekend.
If you bogied 9 and 18 you would have been loads under your handicap. I agree and appreciate the earlier comment that you know your shot shape and play it. Although you have that 5 wood? Or hybrid? That draws, where everything else fades..?
Yeah, those 2 holes really blew the score but that's golf! Thanks for watching!
That greenkeepers having a laugh 😆
This is what golf is about, fun. Played this course great value for money, put it on your courses to play list.
The club selection is maddening you can hit your 7 iron 140s but pull a 26° hybrid for 110yd shot is it a iron confidence thing? You have great distance control with metals though
Whatever works right??!!! :-)
Amazingly consistent swing, couldnt believe you are a 27 hcp. Congrats on the -4 round 👍
Cheers, thanks for watching!
@@anitabaath2426 Really???? What part of consistent don't you understand? He didn't top or duff a single tee or fairway shot. He would likely be 70 hdcp at Augusta, what's your point?
plus his chipping technique is really good
He just needs to practice on the putting and he can lower his handicap really good. He is three putting a lot of the wholes which is no good try to minimize to two puts
@@EpicNacho dont we all haha. The greena look long & bumpy here. think he's already down to 19 in his newest videos.
Equitable Strokes Control stops counting after triple bogey when you are a 27. Any quads or worse you might think he would score when the fairways narrow and trees get more involved will stay triples when the math is done. He wouldn’t be a 50. The handicap system is your friend on BOMB holes when you drop an 8 on a Par 3 or lose your mind with a 12 on a par 5. Shooting +23 on a course sloping at 85 with a 48 course rating makes me believe his 27 was legit. In another video his +15 on a par 72 sloping in the 120s made me believe he’s a little better than an 18. His short game and putting was on point so maybe it was one of his best rounds which is totally cool.
Hi mate, think the content is cool, what are you using for a camera?
Iphone 11 pro
Diolch NPG. There's a lot we can all take away from this video mate such as forgetting the score and to just enjoy the Golf. Looking forward to more 👍
You’re really improving! Good going.
Thanks John, playing twice a week has really improved my game! :)
Nice video, how do you get the shot tracer?
Is there an injury preventing you from a full backswing? Great content btw
No injury, I think I just have a limited range of movement. I'm like a plank of wood & not flexible at all! Thanks for watching
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 Thanks for the insight. Meant no disrespect. I was just curious.
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 Probably better for straighter shots anyway.
Hello I have a question. Do you use shot tracer? Or Adobe to make your own shot tracer. Thank you and great video.
'Shot Tracer' app
Its good to film your round as you can see where you lost shots , good vid thanks
I really enjoyed this!!
