I watch a lot of golf content and thing I love about Iona is the endless possitivity. At the end of the day being out playing is a real privilege and I forget that sometimes myself.
Have a read of Harvey Penick. A tour pro was struggling, after their chat she says to Harvey “ I have to go and play now”. He stops her, grabs her hand and says” you get to go and play”. Changed her attitude and results.
As a greens keeper,I am hugely appreciative of the fact that you show how to repair divots and pitch marks! More to the game than whacking a ball in a hole. I hope people pay attention. Thanks for your videos, you are a superstar!
Iona, I don't get much free time especially as a dad to a lively 2 year old, but when I do and I'm not playing golf, I just LOVE watching your videos! Such positivity and enjoyment bursting from you through the screen and your insight helps me when I do get onto the course! Thank you and keep making incredible content as we all absolutely love it 🫶
okey pokey, great soothing video! Was thinking to watch something on my 2nd screen, i ended up doing nothing but just watching your video for straight 43 mins :) Really appreciate your love to the sport.
I thoroughly enjoy watching the calmness of the way you play golf, lots of good content, and very informative 😄 The idea of having a personal chasing the red is great! Gave me a different outlook on how I want to play my golf 😃
A Friday evening chat with my friend from Scotland . . . one of the most enjoyable and relaxing hours I’ll spend any day. Thank you for sharing your gift of communication and the pure love of golf with us here in North Carolina. When you drop a video, I wish you could see the smiles it brings to us. You are indeed a treasure.
Enjoyed it, Iona...you need to play it again now that you know it better. You did well for it being mostly new to you. Nelly Korda says hey...ha...your swing seems very solid...chipping needs some work...eh? I am always trying to break par..and one under is good enough...:) Many days I spend chasing the red and finding a few bogies...so, that's golf...keeps us humble.
Chasing your own version of the red - never thought it like that - I'm now having more fun and being easier on myself like the lady said - great advice.
(15:31) "I just love this game!"... 11 minutes later... (26:43) "Iona! God... I hate this game!!" Emily needs to get a drone for aerial shots and you can capture the shots-into-green approaches!!
Love the positivity exuding from Iona. I also learned three expressions that I haven't heard; here in Texas. - a wild wee - cream cracker - a welly (?) Hope I got that right I try to never miss an Iona video!
A pleasure to relax and watch someone so chipper and positive play a game and convey their passion and appreciation for the game. You are beautiful person.
Hey Iona, I enjoyed your round! You hit slot of good shots. It looked like a tough course. It is a beautiful lay out. I really like the way you accelerate through the ball! Thanks for showing us this course. The holes alongside the Atlantic are breathtaking!! Golf is a wonderful game and I am glad you enjoy it so much!! Look forward to your next video!! Blessings to you!! Kelly
I love the Chasing the Red concept. I'm using it as my guideline for this year, and hopefully, it will help me get less frustrated on the course. A four is always better than a five -- etc.
I have adopted the "chasing the Red' and found it an excellent way to keep the focus and achievable. didn't quite make it but close, next time... love it
Iona, it sure seems like you were not giving your backswing time to mature on a number of your approaches. It was encouraging to see you remain so positive about turning the score around after those bogeys on the front. Praia d'El Rey looks like a beautiful course with a stunning layout and treacherous greens! Well done, Iona. On to the next!
Lovely vid...a cream cracker of a vid. actually. Really enjoyed it. And just to clarify, Emily is just over seven foot?😂Happy weekend to all. I'm only 3 quarters through vid but am so sure I'll enjoy the last bit that I let the comment go live early...confidence...unquestioned confidence.
Wow honestly what a great watch you’ve so so good and kept it together so well I play of 14 u wanna see some ov my rounds 😂but so positive definitely gonna try chasing the red 🎉🎉love ur channel xx fellow 🏴
I don’t get to play much these days but thanks to your videos you help keep me close to those lush fairways and velvety smooth greens, and keep the beautiful game of golf close to my heart. Thank you 🙏🥰
Wow you are such a good watch.Your attitude is great.You just enjoy your golf,even when it’s not going as you would like.Not like some TH-camrs who throw their toys out of the pram when it’s not perfect golf.I like the way you talk us through each shot.Keep up the good work.
Played this course and west cliffs with my family for my 18th. Absolutely loved it. Wind was off the land when we played which is very unusual but meant the holes by the sea played very short which made for some memorable scores on the most memorable holes.
Iona, love the videos and your work with Sky. Early morning and late afternoon are my best times for golf. So peaceful and a great way to connect with you thoughts and clear your mind.
I always play my rounds early in the morning and with my friend and we love being the first 2 out on the course. Often joined by green woodpeckers, occasionally deer, fox and raptors. Thanks for another great video 👍
It was a pleasure to meet you on the 1st tee, and good to see you played the course much better than we did. Looking forward to seeing your West Cliffs video.
Wow Iona simply great driving enjoyed the video great course didn’t do much wrong tough putting on those greens look forward to next instalment from Seve x
Wonderful video on a great looking course! Iona always has the best content to learn from and to be entertained with!!! Always love the videos and I can’t imagine anyone watching and not loving to and subscribing!!❤❤❤
More compelling viewing Iona and it’s in my backyard. Westcliffs and Royal Obidos are also great courses and the nearby historic walled town of Obidos is a gem.
Iona clasic...Careful with the put cuz it "Races off like a scolded cat" No one else says something like that as it rolls off your tong... Great content as usual, you're a real jewel in this world Truly playing Golf in the Kingdom... Thanks for your lovely perspective on the game.
I watch a lot of golf content and thing I love about Iona is the endless possitivity. At the end of the day being out playing is a real privilege and I forget that sometimes myself.
You can take pills for that nowadays. But you are right, everyone should count their blessings.
@integralevideo ha yeah i get way too wrapped up in the score it ruins my day. Conversely if i chilled out a bit id score better and have more fun ha
Have a read of Harvey Penick. A tour pro was struggling, after their chat she says to Harvey “ I have to go and play now”. He stops her, grabs her hand and says” you get to go and play”. Changed her attitude and results.
Love watching you play golf iona, you bring such a positive attitude with you when ever you play, your content is infectious
She's getting paid to do it. Get a grip
As a greens keeper,I am hugely appreciative of the fact that you show how to repair divots and pitch marks! More to the game than whacking a ball in a hole. I hope people pay attention. Thanks for your videos, you are a superstar!
Not a greeens keeper but totaly agree with you. Everybody fix your divots and pitch marks as you could be in it next round.
Iona, I don't get much free time especially as a dad to a lively 2 year old, but when I do and I'm not playing golf, I just LOVE watching your videos! Such positivity and enjoyment bursting from you through the screen and your insight helps me when I do get onto the course! Thank you and keep making incredible content as we all absolutely love it 🫶
Cracking drive Iona. I'd love that. Very entertaining video. Thanks
okey pokey, great soothing video! Was thinking to watch something on my 2nd screen, i ended up doing nothing but just watching your video for straight 43 mins :) Really appreciate your love to the sport.

Quickly becoming my favourite golfer on TH-cam. Absolutely love Ionas energy! Those driver skills! Awesome!

She comes from the same place as me and we are very proud of her. I think she's brilliant.

Iona,you are like Prozac. You chase the blues away.
What a great ambassador for golf you are Iona 👏🏴
Content is homespun, natural, and becoming my favorite You Tube creator
Chasing your own version of the red - never thought it like that - I'm now having more fun and being easier on myself like the lady said - great advice.
Good tip on the divot repair!
Friday with Iona! What a great start to the weekend
Beautiful course.
Absolutely adore the golf in that part of Portugal. ❤
Great video, really enjoyed it and I loved that sign.( just saying)
I loved it. That’s all.

Really nice looking course. Proving to give you some interesting misses. Love your positive attitude.

Excellent.. Emma must be laughing "scalded cat" haven't heard that in a while! 😁
Simply great.

@ 13:00 - I hate getting up early enough for the best 'morning' golf, but love twighlight golf 😉. Fabulouse course.
Such a consistent striker of the ball. Very easy on the eye.
Played there many times, worderful part of the world, Obidos nearby is stunning, San Martinho De Porto also.
I love the Chasing the Red concept. I'm using it as my guideline for this year, and hopefully, it will help me get less frustrated on the course. A four is always better than a five -- etc.
Great memories. The course was so amazing we went back the year after.
Great swing and a nice round. I enjoy watching you play. Great job!
Needs to be a ❤ button on this channel. Forget the likes!
I love the morning golf!
Love your content Iona, just so relaxing and informative, keep it up ❤🎉
Another great watch
What a beautiful sight ❤. I’m going to Portugal later this year! Love it there, they really know how to make tea as well! 😂
I have adopted the "chasing the Red' and found it an excellent way to keep the focus and achievable. didn't quite make it but close, next time... love it
Lightening greens I remember playing it also West cliffs 2 really difficult golf courses.👍⛳️
West cliffs beat me up
Iona, it sure seems like you were not giving your backswing time to mature on a number of your approaches. It was encouraging to see you remain so positive about turning the score around after those bogeys on the front.
Praia d'El Rey looks like a beautiful course with a stunning layout and treacherous greens! Well done, Iona. On to the next!
Allowing the backswing "time to mature" is a very interesting expression !
It's an expression Adam Scott uses in Iona's video with him.@@paulk5685
I played this course a few years ago ,still looks great
Lovely vid...a cream cracker of a vid. actually. Really enjoyed it. And just to clarify, Emily is just over seven foot?😂Happy weekend to all. I'm only 3 quarters through vid but am so sure I'll enjoy the last bit that I let the comment go live early...confidence...unquestioned confidence.
But listen its all fine.....is a quote worth taking on my golf course. Thankyou Iona..

Iona is just the best 🥃
I don’t get to play much these days but thanks to your videos you help keep me close to those lush fairways and velvety smooth greens, and keep the beautiful game of golf close to my heart. Thank you 🙏🥰
What a course I had an apartment on the 1st, the coast line is fantastic. Hope you enjoyed it.
I love that you talk about missing a putt or chip being frustrating but still keep it positive and shake it off
That “YES” on 7 green…I felt that. 😅
Well played Iona, your driving was impeccable.
4:12 Your driving is a thing of beauty. One of the smoothest swings on YT.
Them greens looked flat and fantastic, plus the views were special. Enjoyed your golf.
Wow, course looks stunning. Your commentary and explanation are great. Even with a bogey you remain positive… great lesson for us all.
Fabulous video yet again Iona your zest for like and golf is so good to see 👍👍

Wow you are such a good watch.Your attitude is great.You just enjoy your golf,even when it’s not going as you would like.Not like some TH-camrs who throw their toys out of the pram when it’s not perfect golf.I like the way you talk us through each shot.Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to watching this.
Glad you are doing 18 holes as well.
Stunning, Iona 😉 awesome content, big fan 👍
You and your team produce some really enjoyable golf content. Cheers
Tough course with quirky greens. Another great watch showcasing good golf …👍⛳️
Played this course and west cliffs with my family for my 18th. Absolutely loved it. Wind was off the land when we played which is very unusual but meant the holes by the sea played very short which made for some memorable scores on the most memorable holes.
Beautiful course and love how you talk through your process. Keep up the amazing content. Would love to play a round with you one day!
Course looks fantastic 🏌️
I totally agree with you Iona, there is something very satisfying playing from an elevated tee. I love them :)
Great stuff, again. Such a natural! Keep on posting great content like this Iona. So much better than PGA TV 😂 Real golf as it should be :)))
Another great video Iona 👍
So good to watch. Such a great easy swing. Tubes and Ange got me on to this and glad they did 🏌️♂️
What a great way to start a Saturday morning - the Iona way !!!!⛳️☀️
Loving the Chasing the Red series, really hope there is one coming from West Cliffs whilst you were in Portugal 🤞
Iona, love the videos and your work with Sky. Early morning and late afternoon are my best times for golf. So peaceful and a great way to connect with you thoughts and clear your mind.
Lovely to watch. Well played.
Your driving is on point, Iona! Very impressive. Morning golf will always be the best time to play 👍
How good it would be to play a round of golf with Iona course looked in good nick and some lovely views.
Iona is such a lovely person! So positive, smart and talented.

Really enjoyed this longer 18 hole video. Hopefully some more of these to come in future. Always look forward to your videos, keep up the great work ❤
I always play my rounds early in the morning and with my friend and we love being the first 2 out on the course. Often joined by green woodpeckers, occasionally deer, fox and raptors. Thanks for another great video 👍

This is what I look out for every week. Keep em coming Iona.
Positivity aplenty, love your content and chasing the red as a concept. Nice way to target under handicap for me, now down to 15!
Absolutely class as always Iona , love listening and watching you ❤😊
Iona clasic...Careful with the put cuz it "Races off like a scolded cat"
No one else says something like that as it rolls off your tong...
Great content as usual, you're a real jewel in this world
Truly playing Golf in the Kingdom...
Thanks for your lovely perspective on the game.
That birdie putt at 12 was money!
I was lucky enough to play here twice. Brilliant course with very tricky greens. That birdie on 17 was outrageous. Very very tough hole.
Great course vlog Iona 🎉
Super round Iona, Thanks for a great watch!
Class as always. Driver was solid around there well done. 👍
love your drivers so precise!
What a great watch loved the way Iona plays golf, super mind set I will endeavour to take into my game Thank you Iona. My First Watch Loved It.
Played there a few times some years back. Great course
Early morning on the links, or evening inland. That's the bee's knees 😊
