I'm playing nearly as much golf this winter as I did over the summer. The cold temperatures and "extra moisture" keep the courses delightfully uncrowded; it's just me and the other golf sicko's now!
Nice to see a real and genuine breakdown of your golf game and what to except at your level - or I suppose 'golf development' would be a more appropriate phrase. As someone who has just started playing golf, this video has really given me confidence and reassurance that I am heading in the right direction and what to do to get there. Thank you!
Hi Luke, really enjoyed this especially since I’ve played the course myself! I loved the graphic on the right of the screen. Some huge golf channels don’t bother to do this and then when you don’t know the course you can get lost where they are on the hole and how the shots have gone. This little touch made the video very watchable!
this is my first time watching, quite enjoyed it! love the background music its at a perfect sound level compared to the voiceover etc. love the little map on the right showing where on the hole your ball is going. nice touch. keep up the good work, love to see relatable golf
Just discovered your channel, great stuff. I’m a similar standard to you (12.6 world handicap). One thing that has helped me in the winter is always taking one extra club as I often come up short, and never taking three 3 wood off the fairway - always switching to 5 wood, which works out better most of the time. Looking forward to see more videos from you!
Just discovered your channel, it put me in a really good place as I'm a 22 handicap 73 years old and trying to improve. Thanks for an interesting video.
This was a great video. Loved how you’ve put it all together with the scoring, distances, maps etc. And your golf was good too. You seem like a golfer who doesn’t get sucked in with his EGO - like me. New sub for sure. Hopefully my channel can get to this in the next year. 😅
i had to like this video right away when you thinned it and hit it into the Tree LOL. I been there. Respects for having a good attitude and being out there!
Great round Luke, once you are able to not get those blowout holes you will be a force to be reckoned with on the course. Love seeing your improvement over the time. Cheers mate
Well played. Great back 9. Winter golf: Need to recalibrate distances in the colder weather. Plus, Easy to lose balls when hitting into a low sun. So a playing partner/Spotter is needed. Tomorrow will be my first really cold start of this winter....-3°C forecast for overnight temp..My tee time is 10am, so hoping will be above freezing!!
Nice video Luke. With snow now on the ground here I am stuck hitting balls into a net in the garage, taking videos of my swing trying to engrain better habits without any sort of ball-flight feedback. Good? Not really, but I can only take so many indoor putting drills. Cheers.
First time tuning in from New Zealand. The way I look at it is that at 15 handicap you are only expected to make 3 pars during a round. You made 6. Already under par. If you can eliminate the triples and turn those into doubles then that's another 3 shots. Throw in a wee bit more course management, like not going for the green with a long iron over water and just laying up, saving even more. All in all, a great round. Definitely practice the bump and run. 1/3 air time for total distance = 2/3 distance run out.
Interesting! I'd say I probably make about 5 pars per round on average which likely means I shoot more doubles to make up for that. Better course management is definitely the low hanging fruit for me I think 👍 Thanks
Good round Luke. Wike looked decent will have to give it ago. Managed to get out a couple of times,played boothferry near howden. Not bad for the time of year andno restrictions.
Cheers Craig. Yeah the 'no restrictions' can be hard to find sometimes this time of year. Wike a good course all year round I've found. At it's best in the summer though 👍
Love it mate. Really great video , editing and lay out ! Good golf too ! First I’ve watched of yours. Will be watching many more. Buying some stiff shaft titleist irons after Christmas and really really looking forward to using them on the course. I’m unhandicapped at the moment as I usually only play Ambrose but will be playing a lot by myself over the holidays. Looking forward to watching more videos in the future ! Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year mate!
Well done Luke. I'm a similar standard to you and would be delighted with that flurry of pars. Just some course management to reduce the triples and you would be close to breaking 80!
Love these videos! Wish I could play more winter golf, but the snow has just ended my season early up here in New England. Some day I’ll hit more than 1 par per round!
Arnie said " golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. It satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening--it is without doubt the greatest game mankind has ever envented".
Very well played and wonderful details on club use,distance and figures plus the overhead diagrams of each hole. As you hit irons well, did you ever consider utility irons to hit off tees? Less distance a little but more accurate.
I use a 21 degree iron as a tee club on narrow holes (5i but that’s only because modern clubs have jacked lofts). I can confirm, for me anyway, that it’s far more accurate than a fairway or hybrid. Can get it to 200 yards on a good swing and I’m barely a 90mph driver.
@@PB-sc5uo 21 degree is 3 iton loft , wow your distance is fantastic. Yes long irons are more accurate, harder to hit and thats why utility irons are a little better. But thanks for your reply and love to see you hitting a 18 degree,youd get 220. I use 15,18 and 21 degree utility plus 2,3 irons off fairways on long holes. Enjoy yourself and best wishes
I very nearly bought a driving iron and instead opted for the 3 hybrid. However, I haven't really found my flow with that club. Interesting to hear you both have had good experiences with the irons though 👍
nice video, i was once given the advice of play bogey golf to break 90 it sure helped me out in the early days , eventually after practice and understanding where you made your mistakes you will learn to erase them from your round and you’ll soon be breaking 80, then 75 ! keep it going , 👍👍
Really enjoyed the video. I am about a 15 HC too and trying to improve... I really want to break 80 this next year. I'm just going to keep at it. Good luck too!
I'm still playing. If it's not raining and windy and over 35 degrees I'm going to play. Great job breaking 90. Looks like we both have issues struggling with the fairway woods and an occasional pulled left shot.
I was playing quite a bit up until this week when the weather turned much colder (Philadelphia region). Mid 40's F is my temperature threshold for golf. I enjoyed watching a player with a similar handicap to my own work around the course. The driving and approach shots were very similar to my game. The major difference was in chipping and putting. Perhaps it was the conditions ....but my short game is much better (aside from the early back 9 par run). I'm a 13 hdcp....maybe those 2 strokes of difference in hdcp are where short game differences matter? In any event....I enjoyed the video....thanks for posting!
Great round. That front 9 would have done me in and probably really hindered my back 9. Great job in regaining some confidence with those back to back pars. Need to try and take some of that on
Something that’s worked for me, and might for you, is ditching the 3w/5w and going to a 7w. Much more consistent and while it won’t go as far as a flushed 3w, it was rare for me to hit them well. Now I just go Driver/7w/21 deg 5i/26 deg 6i. Only use the low irons off the tee really.
A 15 hdcp probably shouldn't even carry a 4I in the bag. I would take it out and replace it with a 22 degree #4 hybrid. The hybrid might gain you another ten yards and its versatility out of the rough makes it an easier club to hit. Other than that one tee shot he was hitting his 3W just about as far as his driver so he might even consider taking out the driver and replacing it with that 7W and then use the 3W from the tee while the 7W can be his go to fairway club when he needs accuracy on longer shots. If he can find a 20 degree 7W that is adjustable for loft +/- 1 to 2 degrees so much the better. He could then adjust it down 1 degree to give him a 3 degree gap between that club and the 22 degree hybrid. I have the Callaway Epic Heavenwood that is a standard 20 degree and which is adjustable.
Nice one Luke. Some real solid golf in there. Keep trying to make sure you get your putts up to the hole, some of those putts you took looked on line and could have went in. Thumbs up !
Nice video good content. When putting in the winter on damp greens sometimes you might stroke it a little harder. Because the damp green will slow the roll significantly, especially uphill
Thank you for sharing your game! Loving the channel. I've noticed though that you don't finish your golf shots (like me). Have you noticed you don't finish your swing?
Really enjoyed the video Luke....well played, Also enjoyed the fact that you are absorbing the advice in the book you are reading re keeping double bogeys off your card....now only dealing in bogeys and triples !!😀 All the best for 2023 👍
I am a member at Freshwater Bay GC on the Isle of Wight. It’s a cliff top course which is on a chalk base and drains amazingly. Played 2 or 3 rounds a week for most of this Winter but our enemy is the wind.
So similar to me.. last weekend I went +11 through first four home then got 5 pars.. nearly walked off after 4 but just got to stick to it. Consistency will come, love the videos and keep them coming
for a 15 hc, you make so many good choices around the course. most golfers would hit driver on those short par 4s, but the fact that you're hitting 3 woods will make you a great golfer in the future
Great video. 1st one I have watched. I am no golf coach but to me, it looked like you hit the ball very straight. I don't know what your preshot routine is, but watch the video and see where you are lined up before the shot and where your chest points in your finish. It seemed to be exactly where you hit it. It might be a simple fix by working on alignment and aim using a close target to set yourself. Good luck lowering your score and well done!
@@UpDownGolf You are welcome. I started to use the close target to align myself for that reason. Now when I stand over the ball, it looks like I am aligned way right, but really not. It could eliminate some of the shots/chips from the side and make them fairway shots or putts instead.
Your struggling with the same thing I have since I started playing - standing up in the down swing / early extension and then topping it! I feel the pain, but I think im through it fingers crossed!
Well played, 5 pars in a row is wicked. You mention the wintery conditions, but you also dress like I would dress in June playing golf in Berlin 🙂. I usually don't get out on the course if it's below 12 degrees (maybe 10 but then with full sun). I'm currently in a warmer climate in Aotearoa New Zealand, so should be all warmed up golf-wise when returning to Europe in the beginning of spring.
We are about the same standard, but can i give you some advice. Both our swing speeds don't make a 3 wood a realable option. Either get a 5 wood, or my favourite a 7 wood. I can on average get about 190 yards and more importantly in play and in the air. Enjoyed the video and the book is dead right.
Well played. I’m off 18 and currently getting lessons and changing swing, I find it difficult to judge how often I should go to the course v going range to practice what I’m being taught to change 😅
Agh I know what you mean Ryan. I'm going to the range once per week with the solid intention of thinking about and working on my swing. Then when I'm on course, I try my best not to think about the things I'm working on and just enjoy the round. Can be easier said than done 😅
Well done Luke nice recovery from a difficult start. Those greens looked a little tricky and difficult to read for pace. I’m currently playing in 33 degree weather and instead of dodging ducks I’m dodging kangaroos. Thanks for the upload once again.
Hi Luke, I’m writing from Rome in Italy🇮🇹, one advice I can give you for this new year 2k23 would be to work very much on approaches and putts. If you have a teacher who following you, ask him to make training cards designed for you, so you will definitely improve your game. Have a nice golf and good luck!! ;)
Nice video man! Your game reminds me of my own game! I am a 16 handicap and i can go front nine +1 and back nine + 15 🤣 maybe the day will come at some point that we can play all 18 holes with confidence
Recovery on the back 9 was unreal, triple aside (which was essentially a bogey without the drop) going to be close to touching 80 soon in prime conditions. Brave ducks/geese always appreciated the shots they must have seen 😂
Nice vid mate and some pretty consistent drives, found the fairway with the majority of them so always a good start 👍 I’m a pom living in Australia so weather for me is great golfing all year round but flying back for Christmas tomorrow, clubs in tow, think I might need to buy sone hand warmers but will be fun playing with me best mates again. Anyway enjoyed the vid and keep it up 😉👍
Thanks man! I think the time away from the UK has made you forget how bad the weather is over xmas! 😂 You'll be pining for the aussie sunshine! Have a good one 👍

great video. At around the same level handicap (17) so it's a good look at someone else's game. Your driver off the Tee is quite good mate.
Thanks Mike. It has its days where it just likes to put me in the trees all round too
First Relate golf content to my handicap. Nice Content!
Thanks man!
Another good round sir 👏
Why thank you sir!
I tried the “waggle” with fairway woods / hybrids off the deck -after seeing some videos on YT - massive improvement of consistency and distance.
Interesting 🤔 thanks man
Great video. 1st one I have watched. I am no golf coach but to me, it looked like you hit the ball very straight. I don't know what your preshot routine is, but watch the video and see where you are lined up before the shot and where your chest points in your finish. It seemed to be exactly where you hit it. It might be a simple fix by working on alignment and aim using a close target to set yourself. Good luck lowering your score and well done!
Thanks Tommy 👍
@@UpDownGolf You are welcome. I started to use the close target to align myself for that reason. Now when I stand over the ball, it looks like I am aligned way right, but really not. It could eliminate some of the shots/chips from the side and make them fairway shots or putts instead.
The duck didn’t even flinch man has been through some shit 😮
Not even a little bit
Your struggling with the same thing I have since I started playing - standing up in the down swing / early extension and then topping it! I feel the pain, but I think im through it fingers crossed!
It's difficult to change it I'm finding!
That was a cracking back 9!
Cheers Danehawk!
There’s snow on the ground here in Connecticut so I’m on simulators for now
Hoping to go to Florida soon
Bet it's nice there at the moment 👍
Well played, 5 pars in a row is wicked. You mention the wintery conditions, but you also dress like I would dress in June playing golf in Berlin 🙂. I usually don't get out on the course if it's below 12 degrees (maybe 10 but then with full sun). I'm currently in a warmer climate in Aotearoa New Zealand, so should be all warmed up golf-wise when returning to Europe in the beginning of spring.
Haha true, I guess each person's definition of wintery conditions varies! Sounds like it's nice where you are mate!
@@UpDownGolf At least you've got regular greens (summer greens, although they looked like wet sponge cake) and no snow.
We are about the same standard, but can i give you some advice. Both our swing speeds don't make a 3 wood a realable option. Either get a 5 wood, or my favourite a 7 wood. I can on average get about 190 yards and more importantly in play and in the air. Enjoyed the video and the book is dead right.
Cheers Peter 👍
7:35 That might be the most lofted putter I've ever seen 😂 Nice back nine mate!
👀👀
Shot5 hole8 thats some chip with a putter!
👀👀
Brilliant video mate! Nice relatable content! Wanted to ask if you don’t mind, what do you record your videos on?
Thanks James 👍 Yeah sure, I just film on my iPhone
Good vid mate. Let me know if you fancy coming and playing at Horsforth 👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers Ryan, I've played Horsforth once and took a bit of a beating from memory. You a member down there?
@@UpDownGolf yes matey, not longest but v tight
Yeah it was a good test for sure
@ 8:55 But you did keep Double Bogies off your card, you had 2 Triples, 5 Bogies & 2 Pars !🤣🤣👍👍
😅😅 you’re not wrong!
Unreal back 9 mate 👍
Thanks man!
Well played. I’m off 18 and currently getting lessons and changing swing, I find it difficult to judge how often I should go to the course v going range to practice what I’m being taught to change 😅
Skip the range, just go play golf as your practice.
Agh I know what you mean Ryan. I'm going to the range once per week with the solid intention of thinking about and working on my swing. Then when I'm on course, I try my best not to think about the things I'm working on and just enjoy the round. Can be easier said than done 😅
Well done Luke nice recovery from a difficult start. Those greens looked a little tricky and difficult to read for pace. I’m currently playing in 33 degree weather and instead of dodging ducks I’m dodging kangaroos. Thanks for the upload once again.
Thanks, over confident start possibly. Sounds awesome Jarrod! Enjoy it mate 😎⛳
Hi Luke, I’m writing from Rome in Italy🇮🇹, one advice I can give you for this new year 2k23 would be to work very much on approaches and putts. If you have a teacher who following you, ask him to make training cards designed for you, so you will definitely improve your game. Have a nice golf and good luck!! ;)
Thanks Tommaso 👍
Nice video man! Your game reminds me of my own game! I am a 16 handicap and i can go front nine +1 and back nine + 15 🤣 maybe the day will come at some point that we can play all 18 holes with confidence
🤞🤞 Maybe Eerik! Thanks for watching 👍
New to the channel and just want to say great video mate! You have a great swing btw keep it up 👍
Cheers Tom! Appreciate that mate. Welcome to the channel too!
great game, analysis, but you were plagued by bad greens for sure! keep it up
Thanks man! Yeah the greens weren’t great at all
Recovery on the back 9 was unreal, triple aside (which was essentially a bogey without the drop) going to be close to touching 80 soon in prime conditions. Brave ducks/geese always appreciated the shots they must have seen 😂
Aha thanks Jack!
Nice vid mate and some pretty consistent drives, found the fairway with the majority of them so always a good start 👍 I’m a pom living in Australia so weather for me is great golfing all year round but flying back for Christmas tomorrow, clubs in tow, think I might need to buy sone hand warmers but will be fun playing with me best mates again.
Anyway enjoyed the vid and keep it up 😉👍
Thanks man! I think the time away from the UK has made you forget how bad the weather is over xmas! 😂 You'll be pining for the aussie sunshine! Have a good one 👍
@@UpDownGolf yep, here now, what’s with all this cold shit and that grey stuff in the sky?
Nah, love it really, merry Christmas to you and yours mate 😎👍
Great content! What editing software are you using for your videos? I really like how relatable your videos are :)
Thanks man! I use Premiere Pro 👍
@@UpDownGolf awesome, thanks man!
Do you use a tee peg on par3s? think it will help you alot
I do sometimes Alan, depends how my striking off the deck has been
