Iron for safety or controlled aggression?⛳
WHICH WILL SCORE BETTER?
COMMENT BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️
4 iron
Think it's more down to your putting Liam , rather than your driver or irons
Iron for safety.
I don't pay to lay up....... But sometimes laying up is the way to go.
Think depends on ability.
Second video of “just” you. Absolutely loving it. Sometimes less is more. Loving this format. After all it’s you and your personality that is the backbone of the channel. 10/10 AAA+
Thank you, someone for everyone 👍
“I’m not Ant & Dec. More like Little & Large” (proceeds to do an impression of Laurel & Hardy). 😂😂😂
That’s why I love this channel. 😊
Well I watched it because I like listening to your banter and seeing how you play. However, I have now idea what you were trying to prove (if anything) or if you succeeded.
Over the years watching your channel it’s helped me with my understanding of what club to use for what yardage plus also conditions thanks mate
I really liked this one, and can relate to it. The year before last, I had a small muscle tear in my right forearm. Just about the only time it bothered me was if I tried to use my driver. All summer and into fall I hit either a fairway wood or an iron off the tee. I actually played better. All healed now and back to using the driver, there are still par 4 holes where I prefer an iron or fairway wood off the tee. Thanks for another fun video!
Glad enjoyed
Most of the time I don't even know what you're talking about, and it's hilarious! Good job! Cheers from Maryland, USA.
I grew up in Maryland in the Glen Burnie, Pasadena area and now live in Alabama. I can play golf year round and no snow to shovel. 😀
The more north you travel in England, the more unintelligible their language becomes
Good to see you back on the golf course! 😃
Thanks Karen 👍
Love hearing Joe laughing in background,good to see hes all well
Good fun
Noting you thanking the committee, have the members been complaining that you’re causing slow play 😅 good to have you back 🏌🏼♂️🥰
"Head full of pubes " classic Liam 😂🤣😂🤣
Haha
I saw this comment before watching video and thought why the hell is Liam gonna say that.🤣🤣🤣
He actually said that didn't he?
Great video. Glad to see the comparison. keep up the good stuff coming.
Enjoyed the clip & good point well made !
Happy Easter Liam and Golf Mates
Same to you sir 👍
Realistic scenario and well played Liam. Very helpful. More of that please.
Enjoyed this 👍. I'm trying to transition to driver and controlled aggression from short and cautious. You might not be everyone's cup of tea but I love this channel, its an extension of my own playing experiences, banter, duffs and laughter.
You have improved your game a lot,I can see your handicap coming down in the near future
Fantastic vlog to show that you don’t always need to batter a driver off the tee. Sometimes just hitting the most comfortable long iron is the best option depending on the hole.
Cheers
Playing for position is going to be my strategy this year which means between 3 and 5 driver shots per round on my home course. It's much easier playing off the fairway!
Good idea
Will go for driver. Good luck!
Love this format Liam. Incredibly helpful for a novice like me! Keep em coming!
Cheers
Hi all, happy Easter! I would be glad to see you comparing your driver with a 2 iron or 3 wood off the tee, then compare irons with woods/rescues on par 5 2nd shots. Then compare results without short game/putting, the latter being less comparable... Any, ay thanks for this interesting video, enjoy your day!
I like being 100-130 yards away for my approach shot, rather than being 50-90 yards. I know how to hit the former, not the latter. However, I am using a 4-hybrid and a 5-hybrid instead of irons. I find them easier to hit.
Good strategy
Good video Liam and a nice comparison.
good day Golfmate Liam I am glad to see you are using the markers I bought some for my mates and then you guys weren't using them , love the Shirts got two
Thank you 😊
Doesn’t matter what you use off the tee I say but it’s more to do with what the difference is in off-shots that a driver can produce (hook, slice) versus what an iron can produce (ditto). Only diff is distance produced.
All golf is controlled aggression. Fun video. Thanks.
Lol
Liam- you still hit your long irons well! Your swinging smooth and beautifullly mate. Keep it up for the whole season.
Great video Liam loving the content. Comparison may have been more meaningful in the summer on a running course maybe?
Driver looked the best option on 2 of the holes.
Thanks for commenting 👍
Well played both ways...
Cheers
I enjoyed the gentle and thoughtful theme of this one. You are to be congratulated. PS I'd rather watch you than Ant & Dec!
Loving going back watching old videos, just wondering where your from in Bolton as I’m a little Hulton lad so not to far away
Way to go mate!
I do this pretty regularly. When I'm swinging well driver wins but got to say iron off the tee is more consistent and wins easy on a bad day.plus playing from the fairway builds your confidence
Good golf
Love this format!!!
Stress free for me. 👌
Agree 💯👍
Great to see you back mate all the best.
Longer iron needed or if you are confident with a rescue club or even a 7 or 5 wood.
Well played Liam. Driver when you can. Coz when you try to play safe you never commit the same. In my opinion.
Cheers
Liked it food for thought
Love the concept Liam.... I would guess the iron will win
Very interesting vlog Liam; good comparison of styles on show. Im not that great with long irons but I happily change from the driver to a 3 or 5 wood or hybrid off the tee when it makes sense. Usually works for me
Cheers!
Every hole is different and every day is different. I liked the test. You did a good job. Let's have some more fun!
Absolutely fine
Paused at 1:11 - I think OMP would say iron for safety, so that is my guess. Using the appropriate iron for each drive would have helped you.
Probably
Great to see you back on the course Liam, can't wait to see OMP, Mr Barlow and everyone battling it out for a fiver, best wishes from downunder - Brian
Thanks
Liam like this solo golf shows and brought that golf marker
Cheers
Liam, middle of the middle is the centre.
Lol
I like irons for control! Plus I feel if I'm hitting long iron's alot off the tree and finding fairways, that hitting a medium or short iron isn't that difficult! I like when you mentioned carefree golf! Cheer's
Love your vids keep it up!!
Cheers chops
I really struggle with the driver so hit a lot of irons off the tee to stay out of the rubbish🙄 .. Good vidio mate well done 🤗
Good idea
If true irons vs driver, then you should be able to use driving iron. Really enjoying the videos with just you. Keep up the great work.
i love booming the driver. the driver don't always love me back haha. i could do with hitting more irons off the tee
Good banter Liam that Keegan line was a roar.
Haha
I don't use driver on our 2 short par 4s and try to leave a full wedge in - driver would bring bunkers into play. But the 2nd is shortish too at 340, I've not been hitting driver but still get in trouble so going to try some controlled aggression
Cheers
quality video, always smiling and enjoying the game
Cheers chops
Depends on your game. If you're spraying driver all over, play the safety shot. Strokes gained is clear the closer you are ,the more accurate you'll be on the pin. Personally I drive the dreen but I've worked on my gear and swing to favour accurate over long
Very true
GMF Done ...............Still striking it well Liam are you going to have another lesson with Marcus or just watch your video back to keep it in the head the feeling it gave you
Absolutely filming again when allowed
Before watching, I'm gonna say the controlled iron always wins in these situations... as long as you put it in the right spot to have an easy peasy on the green in two 2nd shot. The driver can wreak havoc and put you too close or too off center from your target where you encounter 2nd shots that you're not used to playing. Hmmm... let's watch now and see what happens.
Loved the video, would have been good to see the strokes gained over these holes for the iron vs the driver, that would have helped to show over a period of time what is the better choice not just on this day, be interested to see if that would change how you play those holes. But I know how much you love those stats. Keep up the great work.
Yep
Playing well Liam with control Aggression and Irons mate
Thanks James pal
I love this format and idea, but you need to zap all distances so that we know exactly what the differences are, it also comes back to how well you hit wedges and drivers, for me I would never hit 4 iron for safety, mine would be a 3 hybrid has I like that club of the tee
I do off camera
@@GolfMates yer but you didn’t say for first couple of shots,
Good Video
Definitely the driver Liam good to see you and the boys back
Cheers pal
Think you should try this again when the conditions are right, fairways dryer and green's running true and compare the two
Will do
Double knot your shoelaces Liam. :) As you have shown, you don't have to try and hit the skin off the ball
to get it there. Good video Joe.
Cheers
Another great video, keep up the good work mate
Thanks
Great video Liam your videos keeping us going here Ireland keep up the good work 👍
Stay strong pal. Roll on 26th
How about playing par 4s and 5s from 9 holes placing the ball 200yds from the tee middle fairway each time, counting that as your first shot and playing each hole from there? Would show the value of simple straight tee shots.
Some short par 4s on your course Liam, you must drive those in summer, just goes to show that hitting an iron doesn't always work, sometimes it's better to carry all the trouble 👍
Hi Padraig pal, easy to mess up with OB on quite a few.
@@GolfMates Yeah I heard you say that Liam, but if you pull the iron too you could go ob too, tough short holes.
Great video liam the way I play is try and get it close to the green all the time 👍
Glad enjoyed
Superb!
Thanks
Cracking vid thanks Liam 👍👍
Thanks, glad enjoyed
Nice to see the driver hitting the short stuff, Liam. Good video, bud. 👍
Cheers boss
Always further up the fairway / hole for me golf is easier from.closer in wedge or 6 iron give me wedge all day long 👍👍👍
Cheers Pete
The way I play par 4s is to play it so it leaves me the yardage that I’m most comfortable hitting into the green which is 125, I rarely ever hit a driver on a par 4 unless I can reach the green or get near enough for a bump and run. Drivers is usually to risky on par 4s
Good strategy
He’s borrowed them shorts from Kevin Keegan in Hamburg. Priceless. Interesting video Liam. I probably take driver on short par 4s when a rescue or iron is the better option.
Cheers Steve, they were 80s shorts 😂
@@GolfMates 80’s shorts and the legs were awful as well. Great work by Joe to catch him on video 😂
Nice to see you with a bit of fudge in the barnet mate! 👍🏻 head full of pubes nearly killed me pal! 🤣🤣
Haha
Depends who is doing the test OMP would be down the middle all day long. Driver should win as the pro’s go for distance over accuracy!
Love the content Liam! Big shout out from your mates in RSA
Thank you 😊 sur
Sir
Controlled for sure!
Let's see
Not a bad test. Need to used the tee box better to help your shots( OMP ). If you know what I mean.
We do
All that test showed is that your short game(wedges and putter) is even worse than your long game. Your test subject( long iron vs driver) is simply hole dependent on what full club you feel most confident coming into the green with.
I always play irons on short holes but if I’m playing match play then maybe play driver
I’ve never seen a green so close to a Tee box! LOL
I’d have to yell FOURRRRRRRRR LOL
Thanking the committee 😂😂😂😂😂😂 you've got the Club Captain in your pocket ( or is it Mr.Barlows pocket ) 😂😂😂😂👍
Haha
I don't hit my wedges close to the green very well so going iron off the tee might be a good idea for me on short par 4's!
Try it
I'm not a very long hitter so I'm driver all day long. Happy Easter Golfmates
Same sir 🙏
My man Liam playing with @golfsidekick would be a great matchup
Some good shots in there. Is that Joe making the weird noises in the background after the shots? 😂
Think u need a refresher with Marcus old swing us creeping in
Asap Tuesday
Liam for you iron wins for me I’m equally crap with either
Haha
liam you said the greens are slow lots of sand but your always short on driver approach
Liam, Adlington Golf Centre near Poynton / Bramhall have got TrackMan free to use in all bays.
Can have a virtual game with your mates even in practice - could be a great video! Know the owners if ya wanna come down?
Controlled lob shot over the bunker on the last hole !!
Lol
Really enjoyed this liam could you do one of these for the difference between ronseal and a hybrid think it would be interesting mate
Hi ya pal. Cheers
Irons
I try to decide if I can get my tee shot inside 120m (132yards) of the centre of the green, so that I can hit an iron at the green. Using single length irons I know I can hit a full swing from 60-120 m and have a high chance of hitting GIR on a short par 4 hole. If the second shot will be from outside 120m , where I would have to use my 4W, 7 W, 4,5,6 hybrids for shot two, then Unless there are no dangers with using Driver to hit the fairway , then Driver it might be. For safety I would consider a strategy to lay up to 60 m out, my best club for hitting the green. I.e . 7w off the tee, then work out what will get me to 60 m out
Absolutely
My bet is iron will come out on top. Especially when the course dries out a bit more. Will watch now 😀
Enjoy sir
I would just like to think I could play to par. I need serious help with my game to help with consistency in my ball striking. At the minute I just don’t know which way the ball is going to go.
No drama, good your back playing pal
Nice comparison, most would use driver. However there's more than one way to skin a cat. Great video, thanks.
They would definitely
