- Can I break 85? - EVERY SHOT IN 12 MINUTES [front 9]
A round of summer golf at Maesdu golf club in Llandudno, North Wales. It's a par 72 championship course that is a blend of parkland and links. The club was founded in 1915 and James Braid was the course designer.
3:36 Fore shout 1
5:53 Nearly hit by a ball incident
12:32 Front 9 score
The green fees were £27 for 18 holes in July 2022.
The back 9 from this day will be posted at 1pm, 9th August.
I'm James, a golfer with a dodgy swing now playing off a 13 handicap. I had taken 4 golf lessons to improve my swing on the day of play.
Previous rounds at this course:

Oct 21: • Every Shot of an 18 Ha...
April 21: • Every Shot of a 27 Han... (front 9)
• Every Shot of a 27 Han... (back 9)
I'm looking to continuously break 90 on the courses I play. Even if I don't shoot a good score I always enjoy strolling around the fairways of North Wales, UK :-)

Love your videos! I always look forward to them. Cheers from the USA. (My daughter lives and works in London and loves the city)
Can’t get enough of these videos!
Hey james i’ve been waiting all week for this video can’t wait to watch it!!
Thanks James.
Maesdu is a loveable Golf Club for all the reasons that We enjoy Golf.
It's picturesque, interesting to play, well kept and We've always felt so welcome by the warmth of their staff and fellow Players.
Cheers Dexx, it's a great course and very challenging. Thanks for watching :-)
Love your videos, highlight of the week
So shared in your joy at the sixth. Keep going with the content as we greatly enjoy it.
Thanks James, another weekend starts here, love the videos and commentary.
Cheers Martyn, thanks for watching :-)
Very relatable game. Your temperament is really good, no matter the bumps in the round. I need to be like that!! Keep up the nice work.
Cheers Bruce, thanks for watching :-)
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 thank you for posting the video!
Another great video James, love your channel it’s just honest, relatable golf.
+1
Just played myself, so that combined with your video is a great start to the weekend. Thanks James.
I look forward to your videos every week. Thank you
I wish I could hit these distances with a short swing like that. I can’t get anywhere near them. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Seems a bit wild to me, a half swing hybrid 220 yards.. club speed looks to be low too
This vid is me hitting all my clubs on a Top Tracer range: th-cam.com/video/O0LboHF7Q1M/w-d-xo.html
If you are flushing a club and it is dry conditions then you get more distance. Thanks for watching :-)
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 nice and easy. That’s how I want to be!
Real golf on a testy course. Well done James!
Any round with a birdie in it is worth the effort,well played, look forward to next one 👍
Cheers Jamie, that was definitely an above average approach shot! Thanks for watching :-)
Well done.
Your solid short game kept you well in the hunt for sub 90.
Rock hard fairways are making it so unpredictable.
Currently I'm out of action with C19, so thanks for the entertainment.
Cheers Jon, on the 4th hole I saw a guy in front of me hit a ball through into the ditch. So I changed to the trusty hybrid off the tee and it worked out well. Hope you get better soon! Thanks for watching :-)
Not bad James…44 is very good with a great back 9 you could get the 85. Keep on the good work.
Great video James. You do a good job of making a great shot after a hazard/out of bounds.
Nice front nine of golf on the hardest course I've seen you play, 70/130 slope and rating and 6200 yards ish. Just a couple errant shots kept you from the low 40s. I'd still like to see you widen your stance in the bunkers, it really helps flatten out the swing and makes them much easier. I'll be waiting on the back 9 vlog, hope you get to the 80s. 🏌♀⛳👍
Cheers Tony, it's definitely one of the tougher courses in the area. The greens have slopes on them too making it hard to shoot a low score. Thanks for watching :-)
I noticed that you were putting your hand on your side before hitting driver, I assume to square your shoulders up? I had a driver lesson the other day, and was told to stand with the ball between my feet, then put my hand on my backside, reach round from under to square the shoulders and then take stance. I found this has made a world of difference in my drives.
Also, I noticed your bad drives were when you swang the club around your side and your good drives where up and around.
Great videos James, loving the content, all the best! 😎👍
Good spot! I sometimes dip my left shoulder to target so have to try and align it more straight in the setup. Thanks for watching :-)
Great job, enjoy the videos
Love watching your rounds. You and I shoot about the same scores. I shot a 79 last week. 1st time ever breaking 80 but it was a par 70 course so maybe there's an * by my score but I'm counting it!😎
Congrats mate, I'm yet to break 80 but have knocked on the door a couple of times! :-)
I was hit by another player's ball yesterday. Luckily it took a few hops before, it still looked like it came at me real quick. I was able to move and take it in the calf. Didn't really feel a thing, I was kind of on cloud 9. At the time I was +2 through 15, it was my first time on a full sized course in 6 months or so. Completely happy and shocked with my play.
Having fun is the most important thing
Enjoy the round is 1st priority for me and get a good score is 2nd. Thanks for watching Frank :-)
Just back from Poole where I was surprised to find how dry the grass is. Big difference from Scotland.
Bone dry here, at some courses the greens are on the verge of completely drying out!
Where in Poole did you play ? That's where I live.
Nice rebound
Hi James.. Good stuff as usual. Q. What do you shoot your video with?
Iphone 11 pro
You just keep banging 'em in (the videos I mean even if you had almost as many wayward shots as I will this afternoon).
Excellent thumbnail
Great video James. You know I’ve yet to see a US course that starts with a par 3 or ends with one for that matter. Seems to be a fairly common thing over there.
I normally prefer a medium length par 4 to start a round. It all evens out in the end! Thanks for watching :-)
@@notaperfectgolfer3489 A famous course architect once said the first hole should be a gentle handshake.
Just watched part 2. Damn sand traps. I can usually get out but rarely get close to the hole. Double bogeys are my card wreckers. At least 4-5 every round and not enough pars etc to overcome them.
Well played Sir. I lost 8 balls last week in a Stapleford comp. This week played 18 holes with the same ball!!! Unbelievable the ups and downs of mid-high handicap golf!! Is it me or are you hitting your irons further?
Cheers man, I'm getting more distance from my irons by trying to hit slight draws. It doesn't always work and sometimes it just pushes out straight right! Thanks for watching :-)
Played at Maesdu probably 25 years ago! Wondered, what’s your camera set up - what do you use to film yourself and support the camera ?
Iphone 11 pro on a lightweight tripod. Thanks for watching :-)
What hybrids are you using? They seem like rockets, half swing and they are traveling 200 yards?! I need them in my bag 😂
th-cam.com/video/2eydw1406WM/w-d-xo.html What's in the bag video is here
Let's go!! Roll VT.
Golf is a funny old game😀. I think next 9 Will be much better
What shot tracer do you use?
Shot tracer pro
That reminded me that a short while ago I was playing one of the par 5's and I nearly took out a young lad cyclist with a pretty well hit hybrid. Just after I hit the shot he appeared out of nowhere along a path followed by two others. It must have missed him by a few feet. He seemed oblivious to it but the last of the three called out to him and then looked towards where the ball was so they must have seen it whiz past his ear. Kind of scary and that would, of course, have ruined my round if I'd knocked him out. 🙄
It was the only time, in my golfing life, from memory, that I have ever actually had to shout out FORE!! So it was a rather unpleasant experience really.
Yeah, golf can be a dangerous activity if someone is not where they should be. Or if you hit an errant tee shot to another fairway and don't shout immediately. Thanks for watching :-)
You looked really nervous with that putter there for some reason
Some of those putts were downhill or big slopes so that could have been why? Thanks for watching Gary :-)
What driver does he have?
Ping g10
👍
Nice fun video. The guy hitting into you, you should have hit it back and said, "try again, you missed me". lol Sub'd, hoping to one in return. Trying to get to 400 and eventually 1000. Cheers MAte.
Cheers man, it was a ball hit from the 7th tee box on the adjacent hole. I should have made that clearer in the vid. Still a shock to nearly get taken out by someones 250 yard drive! thanks for watching :-)
Great video very suspect 12.6 handicap tho 🙈⛳💪
Why ?
If I was 12.6 I definitely wouldn't be aiming for 85 score. I'm off 13 and score regular 80-83 off yellows. Definitely don't do that off the whites. If I avoided white/black tee medals and focused on yellows my handicap would probably be 10/11.First time he plays a competition off whites his handicap is going up. Especially if he's happy with 85 off the yellows. It's similar to what tubes and his bro do regarding handicaps. Next video off the whites please prove me wrong.
Yes his handicap is based off of general play off yellows,as most people's are since that is the tees golf clubs want you to play off to keep competition tees in good nick for comps. He is no threat to those who play comps as his handicap is off of yellows so yes he naturally would find it tougher off the whites.The only dodgy handicaps are those who manipulate the system and only put in high general play scores to gain more shots in comps and there are plenty of those.
Every club I play you can play whatever tees you want. Even more so now that you can say I'm playing a general play score. If he entered a comp he'd be doing himself out of shots.
bigfatolly is correct around here you can only play off the whites if you are a member (or get special permission). It's a bit of a weird system but my hcp is all from the men's yellow tees.
I can forgive someone hitting up on me once. After all, everyone gets that great shot once in a while. But I can't forgive getting hit into twice by the same golfer / group nor can I forgive someone not yelling 'fore'.
It's one of the really annoying things that happens occasionally on a golf course. In this round the ball came from an adjacent hole which meant the guy should have shouted 'Fore' instantly. It was a 250 yard tee shot which could have been a very serious incident but luckily it didn't hit me. Thanks for watching Randy :-)
With your course management in mind, i shot 36 points off my handicap yesterday. Says it all really doesn’t it. Very much enjoy your stuff. 👍🏌️♂️
Well done Pete, keep it up! Thanks for watching :-)
