James' Catchphrase bingo...
Golfs a funny old game x2 ✅
A hares breadth ✅
Green in regulation par, solid golf ✅
We're in play off the tee ✅
Lightning effect in the sky ✅
Cracking work off the tee there James!
Never in doubt
Happy days
In The Mayors Office!
No Snowmen today!
... with no drama
Skin of your teeth!
I think it was a good job you were not playing with anyone else, every time I have a good round like yours, (rare) , my playing partners remind me regularly that "your playing really well" or "you can win this today" etc. etc. that's when you start playing safe, protecting your score, and losing all your momentum ! You played very well and you deserve the good luck when it comes, I must admit I did smile when you duffed a couple of shot's, but we've all been there, although we don't all react as graciously as you do !! Cheers.
You're right, it's amazing how many times we're on for a good round only to mess it up in the final few holes. So many variables with golf I was very happy to make it over no man's land on the final hole! :)
This has become my favorite.golf channel. It's nice watching a normal guy play and get better! Thanks!
Amazing round and video.
I love how your channel focusses on golfers like us. Playing courses that we can play as opposed to fancy ones, realistic driving distances and bunker shots. Refreshing to see that you can still have a great time and a shoot a great score
The sky is black with tossed up hats James!
Congratulations on a great round Chum. It's been coming and the weather in August was conducive to scoring. Well done!
Well done James, Don't you just love It when things go your way for once on the course. Keep at It mate. Look forward to the next one.
These videos are just so relaxing and easy to watch. Thanks for posting them.
Love to see it James! Solid golf and what I took from it was that playing within yourself not trying to smash anything is key. As you say keeping it in play is the first rule and gives you a chance to score. Well played, really enjoyed watching this round.
I played the Astbury near Bridgenorth 2 weeks ago. Played to 11 off the white tees, best round of golf I've played all year. I havent been on a course since...... I've been savouring the feeling it left me with.
Good for you James I'm always pulling for ya!
Lovely round - Well played.
Your videos are getting better and better.
What a wonderful round! A single double, and a single triple. Save those for after the round and you're that close to breaking 80! Well done!
Wow! Thats was a nice display my friend...I'm not just impressed by the play, but how you handled the course management...and all while acknowledging the pressure of shooting your lowest score..As always a treat to watch...Cheers mate!
Cheers Manny, I was very pleased and surprised by this round.
When I turned up the wind was up and it was more cloudy than forecast which wasn't good for filming. Looking at the tough opening tee shot I thought this could be a long day as I hadn't played the course before.
Maybe that's why I played so well due to having no expectations? Golf's a funny old game indeed! :)
Chuffed for you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Well played! 👍🏼
Well played James! Smooth swings, great course management, and stellar putting!
Cheers Steve, the planets all aligned nicely in this round! :)
Great round James. Happy days indeed... Well deserved beer.
Well played James. Good to see you playing well.
Hi from Thailand! Great round! Very well played.
Great round! You been pumping iron. You had several drives from 230 to 260 yds!
Mostly rollout (but I will take it!) 👍 👍 👍
Well done to you for staying calm towards the final holes. Don't know about you but I quite often play well on courses that I've never seen or played on before. Congratulations 👏
Maybe because we are playing a new course we concentrate more, or perhaps it's because we have no bad memories of any of the holes ?
Well done James, brilliant stuff 🎉
Good round , well done 👍 looking forward to seeing the next round
thanks from France for your videos. it motivates me to play golf🙂
Well played to keep it all together!
Great round… congratulations ⛳️⛳️
better balanced today. Not too many "falling forward" after the shot
Excellent round and in wonderful form especially your driving,well played
Congrats James. great round
congratulations my man!
Brilliant vlog, very well played throughout the round on a really good looking course.
Well done James.. Great golf
Great round! Well played!
Well done James, nice to score well now and then! 😊🍻
Excellent!! Great round! Smart play
Excellent play James, a great watch.
Well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful round, solid driving and putting returning to its best.
Driver was key this day. It was like clockwork on some holes! :)
Really good round, mate, well done. Keep it going.
Well done James great score loving the content and videos every week
Good round, well done👍
Excellent round. Kept it together really well. The course looks in good fettle which helps when you play well. Did a little cheer when the final putt dropped!
A previous round I was on for a +12 only to card a triple on the last hole. So that made this even sweeter 🍺🍺🍺
Well done, great round
Well played James 👏 I played this course 7 years ago and remember really liking it. You scored better than I did though 😊
Cheers Bobby, it flows nicely and is not too hilly. Hope that rangefinder is coming in handy 👍👍👍
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 Funny you mention that. I've not used it yet but after watching this video I decided to book a round at Old Padeswood 🙂 My goal is to score better than 7 years ago. Hopefully the Cigman will help me do that 🙂
Mate that was a joy to watch. Nailed it!!
I'll definitely take it! :)
Enjoyed watching your round again, but that one handed putting on hole 16 again is a worry..🤣🤣! Well played keeping it at +10 over..👍👏👏
Greetings from the Philadelphia area. Nicely played James. I really enjoy watching your videos. I applaud your determination to improve your game. I noticed mention of "try not to overswing" in this video. That was my mind set during my round today. I'm a 10 handicap and I shot 73 (par 70 course) today. I made solid contact on almost every shot and did not really sacrifice distance. It was a valuable lesson to learn. I look forward to your next video.
Cheers man, finding the centre of the clubface is often more important than maximum distance. 73 is very impressive for a 10 hcp, you must have felt like you could walk on water after that! :)
Well done James, you hit some really good approach shots to hit the green. No matter how good we play,we always leave a few shots out there. We golfers are never satisfied !
Like those post with the hole yardage and a plan of the hole been played.
Congrats! Such a great round! Just think if you’d taken your time on that tap-in putt! Seriously, though, it’s fun to watch you string together such a great back 9.
Who are you and what have you done with James. Very nice round and well played all the way.
Congratulations, James. Well played. It's interesting how our best rounds can sometimes come when we least expect them to. Funny old game indeed.
Nicely played James - always a great day when you come close breaking 80 - onwards and upwards 👍
Left a few out there too! :)
Congrats bud.
Amazing Golf! ⛳️
You were straight and long thar day.
Cheers
Great round.
Well done James .. great to see you getting back to your best golf. Your driving and approach shots were so much more consistent .. hope you can keep it going !!
Driving was key this day. No more snap hooks! :)
Superb Round 👏
Congratulations James!
Well played

Great round James! Limited those triples and shot a nice low 80s round! Just keep it in play. Also, we’re not young fellows, who cares how long the course is that you play? You play what is comfortable for you!

Great golf vlog!!⛳⛳⛳
Great fun round. Awesome
Very well played James, some excellent golf . Having not played there before. I was willing you on.
It was nice to see you playing that day! I came over and said hi when I was on 17 😅
Ahhh, yes I remember. The course was playing great hope you had a good round too! :)
Nice round James, the £1 9 wood paid off 😂
High lofted fairway woods FTW 👍 👍 👍
Well played James.
Well done, I don't think I've seen you hit the ball that well before, nice to see the draws instead of fades!
Cheers Chris, yeah the draw on the opening tee shot of the day surprised me 👍 👍 👍
Nice round James! You're short game, especially putting, is back! Cheers
Since I changed to a 33' length putter I can now start the ball on my intended line. Which is half the battle with putting! :)
Nice round. Congratulations
Brilliant well done gives us not perfect golfers a lift
great driving, really impressive - you're getting longer off the tee?? Couldn't believe it when you missed that one-handed putt thought!:)
Cheers man, yeah I'd like that one back lol :)
Well played! 👍
Such an interesting course
I enjoyed the layout 👍 👍 👍
