Great video. I have yet to play in frozen conditions like this but it sure looked brutal. I think being alone on a day like this could have done you in, but having a mate to play with, laugh with, get angry with at mutually difficult conditions, makes it a fun day despite the scores. Think of the memories you'll now have on one of your worst scoring days thanks to your mate being out there. Cheers
Nice Video Luke. You doing the graphics on the side is really helpful for us to understand where your shots went. Keep up the "quacks" and good "dance music" in future videos. It really helps round out all the great content you give us. Looking forward to all your future content.
I only started playing a few months ago, and winter golf is hard but rewarding. I've played a few frozen courses and I forget the chip shots and just keep them low and let them chase across the bumps. Trying to chip onto a green the ball will always bounce wildly or skip across the green so I try to avoid that if I can. But fair for getting out there and keeping going, I'm sure it'll make summer golf a breeze when the good stuff returns
Really enjoyed that. Played my very first couple of years of golf at Oulton Hall when it was a Muni course around 2005 ish. Was always nice to turn up not knowing which 18 was in use out of the 27 apart from getting an early start as a 2 ball and getting to the “10th” and finding a couple of 4 balls had just tee’d off assuming it was the 1st
The joys of UK winter golf, greens like concrete and rough like a rainforest, fair play for going on. The mindset has to be one of "I'm out playing and don't care what I score". On the plus side the score can be entered for handicap so a good cushion for the spring medals!👍👍🤣🤣
Tough round of golf there Luke, those conditions were pretty challenging, you still played good and had solid ballstriking, can’t wait for winter to be over to get back to playing as well. Thanks once again for the awesome content Luke, cheers mate.
Played on frozen course Sunday, the greens were white. On one downhill hole, I putt the ball from 160 yards, it worked ha! But greens were like concrete, the ball was bouncing 20ft+ high, so it was good practise for hitting the low shots short of the green to run on. Like your round, it was tough, but fun.
Played in similar conditions to that the other day. The ground had been frozen and then it warmed up and rained for a few days. So when I went out the ground was partially frozen and extremely wet. It was also only a few degrees above freezing that day. I ended up carding a 99 which was my highest score in 15 rounds.
Good stuff off the tees and long fairway shots. I played in the winter league one year and I was practising in the ice and snow during the week. Standing on the tee on a Saturday and they cancelled the round. I was raging. lol You will notice a big difference to your game when the better weather comes in. Well done. 👍
I played today and the greens were like an ice rink. I hit some really good shots that just trampolined off the green into the trees. Another shot literally hit a frozen piece of dirt and bounced 90 degrees right. Glad it wasn't just me having a hard time :D
Another great video and so good to see you subscribers increasing. I am not a huge fan of winter golf and our course makes us use mats, but I would rather still be out there playing
Mud Island is currently Frozen Island. Defrosting back to mud in the next few days. 😂 Always good to see local courses. You've not played mine yet though!
I hope I heard that wrong, they paid you $30 to play that course and not the other way around. It was nice to see Woody again and sorry about that Chipper biting the dust. Great to see you guys out there having fun in not so favorable conditions.
Tough conditions in the UK for golf atm. Well done for getting out there! I’m looking at documenting my rounds too and was wondering how you create your scorecards? Videos are great!
I haven’t read previous comments, but I think you need to club 1 down on your irons and that will help you. You have a good swing. It’s winter golf. Night and day difference. You F around and have fun. Good practice. 👍
Played recently in similar conditions in the northeast part of the states, my round was so bad if it was a boxing match they would have had to stop it! Great video keep them coming. RIP Woody's chipper :)
This is my first year of winter golf, and mud and ice really do hinder my game (which isn’t good yet anyway!) - probably won’t play much winter golf in future haha. Great video as always
Yeah, it isn’t worth it in the ice but don’t underestimate winter golf. Wayward shots stop rather than bound into trouble allowing you to go after shots, wet greens hold balls well and lift, clean and place rules give you decent lies. There are good scores to be had!
@@UpDownGolf yeah i could notice the difference right away. You are hitting the ball alot more accurate with it m8. Its not alot of fun on days like you had. I was out had the same experience a few days ago thd balls ended up like snowballs on the green😂
Glad I live beside a links course. Those conditions look tough. You topped quite a few. I think you’re lifting off the ball too much with your head. Your weight goes to the right I think . You end up hitting the ball on the up. Keeping more over the ball with your chest and head will eradicate most of them. Try and hold the turn until later in the swing and shorten your backswing if you need to. And I’ve always found setting up with the ball back a bit from normal is a good emergency fix on the course. A half or full ball back depending on how bad you’re topping it.
Hope Woody left the Chipr shaft in the hole as a ‘flag’ for those behind you! You have to take winter golf here in the UK as just better than nothing….😂
Got a texas scramble Tournament 26rh of Feb in the northwest (Skem). Would you be up for entering a team.?. Its to make a noise over the closure of our municipal course..
Hi Luke, like your videos what do you use? What app do you use for your ball? Tracer when you hit a shot and tells you your yardage on the screen cheers
You must be mad i put my clubs away around October and It looks like I wont getting them out for a few weeks if this weather continues, its just not fun in this weather
I played 3 weeks ago m8 and the course I played was exactly like this one 🤦♂️ no idea where ur putt would go and it was anybodys guess where the drive went with the low sun we had , I got a 96 my 2 other m8’s got a 93 and a 89 bad day all round but after the first couple of holes it was a laugh if nothing else 😂 nice to see woody again tho even if he’s chipperless 🙄🤣 and ur chip at the end there Luke it was all ment eh ?? 🤔👍🏻🏴
You look just a bit of Victor Hovland.. But, that’s it. 😂😂😂😂😂 However, I just love your passion and your videos, and please continue to give us more videos. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤭🤭🤭🤭👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Disgraceful condition for a £30 winter fee! Last time I played Oulton it was a jungle a couple of paces off the fairway too. Club seems in a bit of disarray to me. You should head to the coast and play some links this time of year. Similar prices with food usually and nicely drained courses.
How is it they let you play golf if the greens are frozen, in my area of Texas they shut down if it’s below freezing. Most of the nicer golf courses have tarps that they cover the greens with . I was told if you walk on frozen greens it will kill the grass.
I actually wouldn’t care; 1) you get to play golf rather than it be closed 2) it’s not competitive, so who cares about the score 3) course was quiet so no rushing / getting held up .
Have you seriously considered collecting stamps instead of playing golf? 😂😂😂 Love to see your videos, and how much I feel the same frustrations as you about this «shit sport». 👌🏻

Summed up perfectly Steve!
Love the honesty of your vids, really shows the reality of English golf - love it 😁😂
Thanks Rob! Appreciate it
Well played that drive of yours is beautiful now👍love your videos and i have respect for you playing in that type of weather well done👏
Thanks Ruben! Appreciate that mate
Well done for persevering Luke. The duffed chip in on 18 was well earned.
Thanks man! Haha reward for sticking it out I think
Golf range for me Luke at present…Noted today ball bouncing unpredictably. Cold crisp but sunny. Good to you too out again ATB 👍
Even my range balls have been frozen recently Gerry! Thanks!
Tough round of golf there Luke, those conditions were pretty challenging, you still played good and had solid ballstriking, can’t wait for winter to be over to get back to playing as well. Thanks once again for the awesome content Luke, cheers mate.

Great video again mate. It's fun playing golf round here (West Yorks) at the minute, we are taking Baildon on at the weekend 😀
Thanks man. Good luck!
your drive shot is improving mate. 💯
Thanks man! I'm working on it 👍

Trampolined is the perfect description of what the ball does Tim. Sounds like you had as much luck with the greens as me haha
Nice finish!
Thanks
I had a similar round on Tuesday. Nightmare on the greens. Well done for getting out!
Thanks Matt, hope your round went better than mine!
Another great video and so good to see you subscribers increasing. I am not a huge fan of winter golf and our course makes us use mats, but I would rather still be out there playing
I've played off mats once John and really didn't enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
Mud Island is currently Frozen Island. Defrosting back to mud in the next few days. 😂
Always good to see local courses. You've not played mine yet though!
Thanks Barking, where's your local course?
Great upload....you guys are def committed! Keep it up! I def think every green in those conditions should be max 2 putt! Cheers
Thanks Phoenix! That’s probably not a bad shout you know
I hope I heard that wrong, they paid you $30 to play that course and not the other way around. It was nice to see Woody again and sorry about that Chipper biting the dust. Great to see you guys out there having fun in not so favorable conditions.
You heard correctly I'm afraid Dave! That chipper had it coming, rumour has it Fents sabotaged it 👀
Looks like spring!! It’s only winter golf if you’re putting through a dusting of snow :-)
😂😂
Tough conditions in the UK for golf atm. Well done for getting out there! I’m looking at documenting my rounds too and was wondering how you create your scorecards? Videos are great!
Thanks Kieran. I make all the scorecards myself from scratch in graphic editing software. I use Pixelmator but you can use any 👍
I haven’t read previous comments, but I think you need to club 1 down on your irons and that will help you. You have a good swing. It’s winter golf. Night and day difference. You F around and have fun. Good practice. 👍
Thanks John, I did start to do that more as the round went on. Haha all you can do really in conditions like these 😂
Wow, that was rough, but good for a laugh! I know you’ve gotta be missing Arizona!
Haha just a bit Chris. In Gran Canaria at the moment though and we've played some fantastic courses. They'll be on the channel soon 👍
@@UpDownGolf Awesome! Looking forward to it!!!
Who says scoring over a ton can’t be entertaining. Another TH-cam first fella. Well Done.
Haha thanks Bilal, I was wondering if people would still enjoy with the awful score. Appreciate you watching 👍
Great video, cracked me up. But don't think even my first round of golf I was 30 over par, but worst this winter (so far) was 14 over.
That's good going man
12:30 sneaky sneaky
Very sneaky
Was out yesterday in similar conditions....I feel your pain, Bro!
Broken Record Time: Pitching wedge!...count back on how many chips you left short.
🙈 I'm sorry Jon! haha
Played recently in similar conditions in the northeast part of the states, my round was so bad if it was a boxing match they would have had to stop it!
Great video keep them coming. RIP Woody's chipper :)
Haha I think they all go that way Joe. Thanks man, will do!
Very entertaining round, we’ll done!
Thanks man!
instead of chipping and running when conditions are like this its best use the 60 deg wedge and flop it as near to the hole as you can
Or as my 60 deg likes to do... blade and run
This is my first year of winter golf, and mud and ice really do hinder my game (which isn’t good yet anyway!) - probably won’t play much winter golf in future haha. Great video as always
I'm thinking the same Jayy! Thanks man
Yeah, it isn’t worth it in the ice but don’t underestimate winter golf. Wayward shots stop rather than bound into trouble allowing you to go after shots, wet greens hold balls well and lift, clean and place rules give you decent lies. There are good scores to be had!
@@CHuzz7777 ah nice one appreciate the response. Some very good points made, definitely won’t write it off completely!
Another nice video luke. Is that a new driver your hitting?? You seem to be hitting it alot better.
Thanks James, yeah it's a Sim 2. It's working well for me at the moment 👍
@@UpDownGolf yeah i could notice the difference right away. You are hitting the ball alot more accurate with it m8. Its not alot of fun on days like you had. I was out had the same experience a few days ago thd balls ended up like snowballs on the green😂
Ahh I played on a day like that last winter mate. Not fun at all!
Also can you put total putts on scorecard at the end if possible
Good idea 👍
£30 each?! That's absolutely shocking!!! Well done for sticking through it though! Never give up 😂💪
Thanks man!
Glad I live beside a links course. Those conditions look tough.

Haha you right John! Although on rounds like this, nothing starts to look better
Great watch!! ⛳️
Thanks!
I've played in conditions like this. Nothing like hitting a shot onto the green from 130 out and seeing it bounce 10 feet in the air into the rough.
Hahaha there really is nothing like it 😂
Had no idea frozen golf was a thing but it's now on my bucket list. At then then I'll have an excuse for hacking over 💯!
Trust me Wiebe, take it off your bucket list haha
Love the channel Luke. Could I ask what shot tracer you use, mobile app? Or desktop cheers mate 👍🏻
Thanks Ben 👍 I use ShotTracerPro on a MacBook
Thanks for the reply 👍🏻
Tough conditions them pal . I’m sure the front nine were the old pay an play course yrs ago
Very tough mate
Got a texas scramble Tournament 26rh of Feb in the northwest (Skem). Would you be up for entering a team.?. Its to make a noise over the closure of our municipal course..
Sorry Robert, I would't be able to make it. Hope it all goes well for you though!
Fortunately I don’t have the frozen greens problem where I’m from 😂 but we have other hazards to contend with at times.
They're no fun let me tell you 😅 whereabouts you based?
@@UpDownGolf I’m on the east coast of Australia. Newcastle NSW.
Hi Luke, like your videos what do you use? What app do you use for your ball? Tracer when you hit a shot and tells you your yardage on the screen cheers
Thanks Craig 👍 I use ShotTracerPro for the tracers
Hi mate, loving the vids. Where do you get your score animations from ?
Thanks man. I make them all from scratch in a program called Pixelmator
Dude cheating at the 12:30 mark is hilarious forgetting he's on camera LOL
Don't ever gamble with that guy on the course!
😂
Woody's going to have to replace that chipper!
I have no doubt he will Rory
A bit of fun, if nothing else.
Exactly mate
You must be mad i put my clubs away around October and It looks like I wont getting them out for a few weeks if this weather continues, its just not fun in this weather
It can be fun in winter but not these conditions, agreed
What ball are you using BTW? I've been using matte pink Callaway super softs and they've been behaving pretty well in these conditions
I'm playing with whatever I've got at the moment to be honest mate. No particular ball
🥶tough days play lads
Very mate!
why not try the lower loft around the greens. bump and runs almost on the hard ground
Because I'm stubborn and stupid haha
@@UpDownGolf 🙈
how do you do your shot tracer?

Ha sounds the same as this round Jason, if you didn’t laugh you’d cry 😂 haha of course I meant it 👀😂
Ugly weather, ugly score but what an ending! Props for playing in those conditions - golf's already hard enough in perfect conditions.
Thanks man, appreciate it
The worst weather I've played in was a thunderstorm the rain was coming down so hard you could barely see your hand infront of your face
Wow, that sounds mad
You look just a bit of Victor Hovland.. But, that’s it. 😂😂😂😂😂 However, I just love your passion and your videos, and please continue to give us more videos. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤭🤭🤭🤭👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Yeah Oulton really needs to get it's act together tbh. Good idea Neil, cheers 👍
Roll on spring, when you don’t need a torch and 4 layers if you’ve got the first tee time 😂
Haha too right Ross
Y have you changed to ur 60 for chipping.
I did this round to reduce the amount of roll on these terrible greens
I’m surprised you still play in this weather and conditions. The greens are literally like ice rinks and as hard as concrete
It wasn't this bad last winter, we must have got lucky
Should have banged the chipper shaft in as the pin. Then asked for a refund for the green fee to contribute towards the chipper replacement.
Hahaha brilliant idea James!
How is it they let you play golf if the greens are frozen, in my area of Texas they shut down if it’s below freezing. Most of the nicer golf courses have tarps that they cover the greens with . I was told if you walk on frozen greens it will kill the grass.
It’s not a great course tbh
Haha on hole 12 he moved it forward with his foot, then picked it up and put it back down another 5 inches forward 😂
🙈 the dark art of golf it would seem Rob 😂
thankfully the 18th didn't have a massive tree branch instead of a pin XD
Ahh man, have you ever seen anything like it!
Not great golf in winter but better than nothing
True David
Wait, why are we complaining about a winter/frozen course. Most courses wouldn’t even open since it can kill the grass you walk on.
I wish it had closed
Damn you could of had a nice steak dinner instead of golfing on that horrible day 😂😂😂😂
Facts!
I actually wouldn’t care; 1) you get to play golf rather than it be closed 2) it’s not competitive, so who cares about the score 3) course was quiet so no rushing / getting held up .
All valid points Mike
Golf in our winter season SUCKS. May be moving to Florida for retirement. I must say, the greens on all the UK videos I want look un-kept.
Having played a few courses abroad now I can confirm they feel it too 😂
Frozen greens are the worst. You get penalized for good shots.
You really do mate
Have you seriously considered collecting stamps instead of playing golf? 😂😂😂 Love to see your videos, and how much I feel the same frustrations as you about this «shit sport». 👌🏻
Shots fired 😂
Looked the shadow of ur normal self
Yeah not surprising on greens like these though
Cant believe you paid for that round. Also can't believe you was on summer greens. You need to start taking preffered lies in the winter.
Yeah they don't have any winter greens down at Oulton. One of the very few pros of the place
@@UpDownGolf are they any good come summer? or wrecked from the abuse in winter
It’s very average in the summer. Probably because as you say they are wrecked from the winter
I would have asked for a partial refund, that’s awful with missing flags
Yeah that's what annoyed me the most mate
The people running that course should be ashamed for charging golfers to play it. In America we call that kind of course a real goat ranch.
It's probably not good enough for the goats
All the gear no idea.
You sound fun
That golf course should be closed down, £30 for a round of golf with tree branches for flags 🤦😂😂
Shambles Jason
Master criminal Woody cheating in front of the camera on the 12th 🤦♂
He'd be worth the watching during a medal round 🤣🤣
We got him!
@@UpDownGolf 🟨 for Woody, one more and it's a straight 🟥🤣
Even without the cold, this is the worst course I’ve ever seen!
Haha I can't argue with that Mark
Why is your buddy cheating on such a silly putt. So unnecessary.
Cheeky
Bloody hell Fairways look like rough greens look like fairway.
Conditions not ideal
I play at oulton, just wondering why you didn't play off the winter blue tees?
On all the holes I mean. 🙂
I don’t know if they were there when we played Rich. Just automatically look for the yellows 😂
