Hands down the most inspiring golf content on TH-cam, James! You continue to play within yourself, knowing your game and playing it, and the progress that has yielded shows up on each successive video. Fantastic stuff and another great round!
Another brilliant film pal. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I can relate massively with yourself. I have been struggling massively with consistency recently. Stuff to work on. But thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, as does my son whom often sits next to me too watch
Cheers Bryn, I was well chuffed with the round. The course was great. I didn't really miss the par 5s as a few of the par 4s were doglegs and the closing hole was a winner. Thanks for watching :-)
Mate that was an excellent round of golf!! You're striking the ball lovely. A lot of the comments mention the word inspiring and that's definitely true. Well played sir!!
Well done James, You played much better than Alright as you said. I thought you played really well. Such a joy to see somebody improving so much. Solid round James should be proud of this round mate.
It’s an easier game when you have confidence off the tee and your putting is on, huh? Great round! I could tell you were in a groove. No MAJOR mistakes and no snowmen. You kept your head and played disciplined. Well done!
Love the sound of your driver off the tee, you're getting well over 200 yards regularly now, and today with your putter, you had the ball on a string !! Another interesting course in great condition for the time of year, well played.
Absolutely quality today. Thought I was watching Rory at Augusta on Sunday again for the front 9 ha! That handicap is going to continue dropping if you keep improving like you are. Well done!
Yeah, Rory had a great day it's nice to see him playing freely and not sulking. My handicap is coming down every time I tee it up right now! Thanks for watching :-)
What an awesome round!! Your putting was phenomenal, leaving easy tap ins on most holes. Even if things started to go sideways, the cavalry was right next to you to watch your back. A big thank you to the men and women protecting your country and freedoms. Have you considered doing a video on course management where you break down your thoughts on some of the holes you played? Your course management skills are head and shoulders above most recreational golfers.
Super video James. Great score. As others have said, I find your vlogs very inspirational. It makes a refreshing change to see a normal bloke, playing as opposed to the polished pros you hit it miles and never get into trouble. Have a lovely Easter.
Wadda score! A few weeks ago I played my club tournament and shot my best score by 2 shots. All along I made myself think “how would James play it?” Did not look back and I have been playing my best golf yet! Thanks for the honest content and inspiration! Keep on keeping on!
Great front nine and a solid 18, well played. I played the course a few years back while on holiday and really enjoyed it, a proper raw links course, none of this over-manicured, over-expensive nonsense.
A great round there James. Your whole all round game was brilliant, you putted beautifully and apart from the 18th you drove really well to. Short game is showing a lot of confidence and hitting straighter to. Keep up the good work James Hully
Cheers Hully, I started slow on the first 2 holes and then caught fire. The approach on 3 really got me in the zone. It's great to hit a shot to a blind green and then see your ball near the flag pin high. Thanks for watching :-)
Played a great round, approach on the 8th great shot! Lag putting really well, and greens in regulation are sure to bring great golf. Very well done, enjoyed the vid.
You played really well there James. Some of your misses on the greens were so close to going in. You can take inspiration from that round......looked smart as well fella !!
Impressive James! It seems your confidence has improved along with your golf swing. Your ball striking is getting more consistent, your ball flight is excellent, direction is spot on, and your putting is top notch. With improved pitching and chipping, or an adjustment to hitting to a full swing approach distance, you will be putting for par or birdie on most holes.
Absolutely brilliant again James,I think you putting is different class,just the odd mistake but overall brilliant,never seem to be far away from the hole with your first putt from distance,keep it up mate 👊🏻
Cheers Martin, yeah a couple of those putts went really close I couldn't have done much more. The pace on the greens was identical from the putting green to the course which helped a lot. I usually spend 15 mins putting before each round. Thanks for watching :-)
well played just goes to show keep it nice and simple and a great score, straight is they answer not a long hitter or flush irons but steady as you go, getting really consistent now, these courses really suit your game
Well done James. Your miss hits are getting less and less. A lot of really good shots played and the putts deserved better. A well earned good score !!!
A great game again James, well done! Looked an interesting course and that 18th was certainly a daunting hole to finish with! You seem to have such a confidence in your short game - whenever you just miss the green you seem to pitch it on and give yourself a decent chance for an up and down par. Wish I could do that! Those greens didn't look easy and quite bumpy so your distance pace putting was very impressive too! I look forward to the next video. Have you ever played bull bay on Anglesey? That would be a good one to do a video from.
Cheers Johnny, I played Bull Bay in Jan this year: th-cam.com/video/IvBWDNteomw/w-d-xo.html Another great course in North Wales. Thanks for watching :-)
Cheers mate, if I can keep it going I might make hcp 9 by the end of the summer. I'm 13.4 now and the swing can only get better with some upcoming lessons. Thanks for watching :-)
James well done... your putting is exceptional .. you need to improve your driver and long irons/hybrid distances .. and you will be breaking 80 on a regular basis .. I'll keep watching and cheering !
Nicely played James. One tip I always find useful is to tee up on the same side of the tee box the hazard is. Like on the 18th, it might have served you better to line up on the right hand side. Funnily enough it makes you aim more to the left 😅
Well done James. Keep up the great work. Keep working on the shots including putts within 100 yards. That's where you will find most of your shots. Also maybe look up Stack and Tilt swing with a youtube channel called SagutoGolf. Just have a look and see what you think. It is really the golf swing simplified and will get you consistent single figure scores.
I gotta say it, removing the tee when using 7i and shorter has helped me a lot with mishits. I have a lot less now. I'm also carrying them further. I've almost got my 7 to 150 and it used to be 130.
What a great round👍 surely you could’ve taken a drop out of the wheel rut on 17? 🤔anyway, when in doubt play it as it lies. I agree with the other comments, playing within yourself is a real lesson for us all to not over swing.
Distance with the driver increased quite a bit with the warmer weather. Really nice speed on your putts from distance too! I’m wondering if fatigue was a factor on the back nine? Quite a bit of “pushing” to the right which is a characteristic of when I get a little tired on the back 9. Overall a fine round!
Are you still using the same putter (v300) I had a bash with a mates one yesterday, thought it was awful, poorly built, light, no feel, couldn't wait to give it him back! Glad you get on well with it James :-)
Yeah, that's the one! It's very light and fickle but I've made quite a few birdies with it. I'm currently experimenting with another putter bought from ebay and might change it for the future. Thanks for watching :-)
James, I really like watching your videos because our games are so similar and your videos show me how to play. Your lag putting is so good. Do you spend time at a hitting range or do you just play? Please, keep up the good work.
I usually hit 50 balls a week on the range. No more as I don't like hitting off mats especially with the irons. I play a practice round once a week usually, playing 2 balls through 9 holes repeating shots that were played poorly. For putting I try to do 15 mins after every round on the putting green to warm down. Thanks for watching as always Randy :-)
James, notice you grip down really far on your driver. Should maybe get a couple of inches cut off it. I did it with mine and it changed my driving, also made my swing feel more free as took away the butt of the club "overhanging ".
Good spot! I gripped down a bit more than normal on this day as the dry conditions meant there was tons of roll on the fairways. There was 30 to 40 yards of rollout on some of the drives! :-)
Okay...James! What is up with this added distance? Not just the driver and hybrid ur smashing 230 and nearly 200, respectively, but also ur irons seem to be taking less club to get there? Get new clubs? Figure something out? Better conditions? Great round, mate!
Cheers Michael, nothing major just using the legs a little more in the swing and making the most of the rollout with the dry conditions. I'm going to take some more lessons soon and hopefully 230/200 with driver/hybrid will be standard every time I tee it up! Thanks for watching :-)
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 This is why your handicap is better than mine. Oh, I enjoyed the planes too! One of the courses near me is next to a fairly busy airport and I find it just the right amount of distracting.
As a recently new golfer and not a big hitter hopefully one day I'll reach your handicap. Your accuracy and short game is spot on. How often do you play?
Felicidades, es un buen ejemplo. 167 sentadillas son unos X18TINDER.Uno muchas y un buen ejercicio. Se deja ver que hay muy buenos resultados 😍👍 Saludos desde la Cd.. de world 🌹😉💖 los mortalesf abian apreciado tan hermosa mujer.k
Best one yet. Lovely course and the greens seemed to be running a lot better than the last few you've played. Driver was getting some distance too which was good to see. Keep it up, great to watch you get better and better 👍⛳🏌️♂️
Hands down the most inspiring golf content on TH-cam, James! You continue to play within yourself, knowing your game and playing it, and the progress that has yielded shows up on each successive video. Fantastic stuff and another great round!
Cheers Mike, things are definitely moving in the right direction! Thanks for watching :-)
Your lag putting is awesome!
Well played James! Good to see you finally getting the benefits of some decent weather for a change too…. Keep it up 💪
Yeah, the January Holywell round was played in 2°C. It's definitely better when the sun shines! Thanks for watching :-)
Another solid round! Your short game improvement has made all the difference. Have a blessed Easter, James.
Cheers Randy, practicing the short game on par 3 courses definitely helped on this day! Thanks for watching :-)
Brilliant round king, no three putts very impressive.
nice my local i get a free air show from the Red Arrows
Well done James. Great round of golf and you beat your handicap.
The improvement since I first started watching you is very impressive
Playing twice a week without fail is paying off! :-)
great job!!
Another brilliant film pal. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I can relate massively with yourself. I have been struggling massively with consistency recently. Stuff to work on. But thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, as does my son whom often sits next to me too watch
Nice one James great round its not an easy course at all you played well mate.
Cheers Bryn, I was well chuffed with the round. The course was great. I didn't really miss the par 5s as a few of the par 4s were doglegs and the closing hole was a winner. Thanks for watching :-)
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 closing hole is a great hole James thanks for the vids
Mate that was an excellent round of golf!! You're striking the ball lovely. A lot of the comments mention the word inspiring and that's definitely true. Well played sir!!
Cheers Andrew, playing all through the winter definitely helped a ton! Thanks for watching :-)
I look forward to my Friday fix of these gentle vids and great to see the play - fantastic long approaches!
Well played.
Great short game/putting during this round. 👍🏻
Great round. Very consistent.
Well done James, You played much better than Alright as you said. I thought you played really well. Such a joy to see somebody improving so much. Solid round James should be proud of this round mate.
Cheers Chris, I would have definitely taken the score having never played the course before. Thanks for watching :-)
It’s an easier game when you have confidence off the tee and your putting is on, huh? Great round! I could tell you were in a groove. No MAJOR mistakes and no snowmen. You kept your head and played disciplined. Well done!
Cheers Paul, golf suddenly seemed so easy on the front 9. 4 birdie chances in 7 holes is not normal for me! haha :-) Thanks for watching
GREAT round of golf, that front 9 was a thing of beauty!
Cheers Tony, now I have to try and play to +4 on the front and back 9. That is the hard part! Thanks for watching :-)
Excellent round!!
Cheers Mr James. Great course and round. You were smoking your driver and 4 wood that day. Solid play, well done.
Cheers, I enjoyed the course it was the first time I played there. It's always a good day of golf when the driver is behaving! Thanks for watching :-)
Very well played 👏
Oh wow!! What a round!! James, you're definitely one to watch. Every round gets better n better!! Loved it pal, well done again.🏌️🏌️🏌️🏌️👌👌👌👌
Cheers Mark, playing all through winter is paying off! Thanks for watching :-)
Brilliant - best i have seen you play by miles!
Great progress... Keep it up
Fantastic pitch onto the green on the 4th
Cheers Sarah, I was happy with that one! Thanks for watching :-)
Great golf james.!! Enjoy your summer.
Great round James getting better every round you play
Cheers Robert, I'm making incremental improvements slowly but surely! Thanks for watching :-)
Good to see you at Old Colwyn the other day James. Another great video and insight into the vast choice of course’s in North Wales. 👍🏌🏼♂️⛳️
Cheers Steve, nice meeting you too. Good luck with your rounds for 2022! Thanks for watching :-)
Love the sound of your driver off the tee, you're getting well over 200 yards regularly now, and today with your putter, you had the ball on a string !! Another interesting course in great condition for the time of year, well played.
Cheers roland, I love the sound of the Ping G10 driver. Some of the more modern drivers sound very dull in comparison. Thanks for watching :-)
Excellent round James 👏
Said it before and I'll say it again, you make it look so effortless and enjoyable.
Keep the videos coming pal! ⛳ 🏌️♂️
Excellent job :)
Well done!
Absolutely quality today. Thought I was watching Rory at Augusta on Sunday again for the front 9 ha! That handicap is going to continue dropping if you keep improving like you are. Well done!

Awesome round James. 81 is an amazing score. Just two blips on an otherwise perfect card. You must be over the moon with that one.
Fantastic golf James, your game is getting better , more consistency from tee to green, keep up the great videos 🏌️

Nice round.
You played really well there James. Some of your misses on the greens were so close to going in. You can take inspiration from that round......looked smart as well fella !!
Cheers Willy, I was happy with the putting despite none of the 6 birdie chances dropping. There's always next time! Thanks for watching :-)
That Hybrid on the 9th is the best tracer you’ve had since you’ve started. Dare I say, penetrating ball flight 💪🏽
Impressive James!

Shot Tracer Pro
Great round and looks like a really lovely course. Could have been in the 70’s if a couple of putts dropped ⛳️⛳️
