Interesting that this shows how golf isn’t the same everywhere, and also how important it is to hit the course feeling good if you want to play well. So many subtleties!
Your videos are absolute gold. You never fail to crack me up, as well as genuinely improving my game through the way of the playa. As a Dundee born boy who spent his early years golfing on the east coast of Scotland I feel your pain 🤣
What a fantastic video showing the difference. People have a lot of misconceptions around what an 8 Hcp golfer looks like. They just don't make double bogeys too often and settle with a bogey. Lower hcp players make more pars. A bit more consistent. Excellent work.
I walked that course, following Tommy Bjorn and Stephen Gallagher during the Johnny Walker, and I was knackered afterwards. Playing 36 in a day around there, you have my respect.
"this man shaves more holes than a maternity ward".... 😂 no matter how bad it´s going out there, always try to keep the humour going ;) as someone once said, "if you can´t laugh at yourself, call me and I´ll laugh at you" :) so interesting to see how the cold conditions affect everything about your usual game.. I live and play in Norway where the conditions are similar.. you should visit sometime Matty. We have the most Northerly Links in the world up at the spectacular Lofoten Links.. I played there a few years ago, 2 rounds back to back, 2 identical scores.. I could hardly walk afterwards but enjoyed every second of the pain.
two rounds at gleneagles is a tough day, next mat skip the kings course and play at the club across the road, auchterarder,better warm up for the nicholson sourse and just an airound better course than the kings.
The Kings and the Centenary are both monsters. I've seen you swing with far more consistency Matt - a tough day after a shitty night (was it Westerwood in Cumbernauld by any chance?), and you need to be on very top form to tackle those 36 holes. I still reckon my guess of 3.2 is on the cards. You're gonna get the swing, and those rounds will just go in the bin courtesy of WHS.
Very minor (and amusing) point...Jack Nicholson has never designed a golf course, he may have been asked and replied 'you want a course? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE COURSE!!!' Its good to see how different types of course present different challenges though.
Great video. Honest, brutal and funny. I played two rounds in a day this summer for charity. First round i played like God, one of my best rounds ever. Second round, same course and i went from God to Dog. It takes it out of you......
Matty, You seem to have abandoned all your own rules. When you follow your own rules, you make the game easy. Play your game, it's the recipe for success.
Scottish golfers play more compact. I think if you imagine you’re in a divot on every shot and you just want ball first punch it you’ll see your score drop so fast. Punch shot has less spin so your plan will be back on track : (ps I promise this wasn’t golf advice I promise I promise) 😂
Thanks for the videos - how often do you practice - hit balls how many how often - seems playing - video and editing travel probally consumes a lot of your time
I'm sorry but hearing you laugh when u shanked it out of the bunker @ 9:13 had me laughing, if we cannot laugh at ourselves who can we laugh at??? i think you need to do a U.S tour... and play in each state... first stop Montana, we have some fun courses
Any tips on how not to follow up a low to mid 80's score with a 105? Lol regularly.. one day i look like i know what im doing the next day looks like i have never played before lol.
It just gets better and better !!! Soon you will have a local accent and ditch that S.A. posh one. It will be nothing but expletive riddled rounds of more duffs after duff and screaming shanks. Btw - your feet are slipping badly with those shoes - you would do better with studs in the soles.
@@lazy_dadThis is a PGA course at Gleneagles. It's more expensive than 99% of courses here. St.Andrews courses are even a lot cheaper than that for a round.
I honestly think the key to playing scratch is long straight drives. I’ve practised hard at that and my handicap is dropping fast. I’m now a very long hitter with the driver and most par 4’s I’m left with a short iron which means I hit a lot of greens in regulation. I still carry a 2 iron for days when driver ain’t working though.
@@GolfSidekick don’t get me wrong I work on short game a lot but my average approach now according to arccos is 117m which means I’m hitting a lot of greens in regulation
You know what Matt, this is your best video yet IMHO. Your providing footage, existensial commentary and true authentic realness. I like this a lot
Jack Nicholson is one of my favourite actors of all time……and to know he designs golf courses…..hooray….he’s my superhero 😂😂😂😂
Surely you're getting mixed up with Timothy Cruse
I love Jack Nicholson courses!
"One par in a row for me"😂😂😂 Matt you're brilliantly dry, love it.

ya.. I just got down to 9 this year.. and most of the time it's pretty ugly golf with a few really pretty ones here and there
Lmao he’s not playing like an 8hcp, why do I know? Cuz I was an 8 a few months ago lol.
I broke 80 today playa 😎 no doubles, no 3 putts, lots of up and downs
“Shaved more holes than a maternity ward”! Comedy gold. Keep going Matty
@@raymondola th-cam.com/video/V9O94UTDAJQ/w-d-xo.html
Watching this round was cathartic for me.
Your shot by shot commentary was hysterical 😂. You, like myself, need to leave that Driver in the bag !
Sorry but I had to 😂 when you not only flopped the ball into the bunker, but then proceeded to shank it onto the green.
Still my fave YT golfer.
I walked that course, following Tommy Bjorn and Stephen Gallagher during the Johnny Walker, and I was knackered afterwards. Playing 36 in a day around there, you have my respect.
Heavy going playa!
You are officially HIG, Horrendous In Golf.
Love it!
I'd like to see you play that course again while teeing with your 5 iron. Just for comparison.
Your best commentary to-date. Hilarious, playa.
This was your funniest script. It's good to see the playa is human after all 😂😢😂😢😂
The Hig's twirl game is on point
2:32 Matt I don't think I've ever seen you move that fast

If you’re struggling with the Driver, have you tried trimming the shaft by half or 3 quarters of an inch?
The other course at Gleneagles looked amazing. I think Matt will be a 1.8.
two rounds at gleneagles is a tough day, next mat skip the kings course and play at the club across the road, auchterarder,better warm up for the nicholson sourse and just an airound better course than the kings.
Hig was a member there said it was good

Coffee was the turning point Boom Boom. You know what you gotta do.
lolol matty boom boom on full display today!
Matt, great vid bud. 36 holes is tough.

Are you back to Thailand? Are you coming to Pattaya area sometime during winter time?
I'm from the town that Gleneagles is in 👌
When are the pants going up for sale?
Hilarious commentary!
love your shoes bro, what are you wearing?
Great video. Honest, brutal and funny. I played two rounds in a day this summer for charity. First round i played like God, one of my best rounds ever. Second round, same course and i went from God to Dog. It takes it out of you......
4.0 for the trip broski!
I'm a belieber
Respect for playing 36 holes in one day and posting the results.

I’m sure I’ll find that exact thing along the way
And this is a good day to play in Scotland 😂

I dont practice or hit balls playa
Boom Boom, what's the outerwear on you? I need something for the winter golf trip where it always rains. We never play in the rain in the Southwest.
In weird kinda way that makes me feel better lol😃
We've all been there Playa; thanks for posting this disaster;)

I have faith, you only use 8 out of your 20 rounds and the course rating and slope are probably pretty high.
Yeps that's the ticket. 💪🏻😎🤘🏻
Couple of rough rounds. At least the Guinness at the 19 hole was delicious.

3rd and not final time for the Waddaplaya gear, 3.2.........
I think coffee helped
FYI, I prefer the self commentary
Mein Gott…..can I revise my guess for your HCP?😳🤯😂
Matty BoomBoom, nice to see you’re human. Keep grinding papa
Jack Nicholson ;) love u man
Those damn red balls make my eyes go in and out focus.
“Shaves more holes than a maternity ward”
What's the difference? Not much at all: one shot or putt every 3 holes.
Again I see this sort of high grass on these type of courses eats the club towards the left
Yeah - it's not pretty
It just gets better and better !!! Soon you will have a local accent and ditch that S.A. posh one. It will be nothing but expletive riddled rounds of more duffs after duff and screaming shanks.
Btw - your feet are slipping badly with those shoes - you would do better with studs in the soles.
I never play more than 18. I know what will happen. I'm no young pup anymore.
£600 round? Merde! You could play 20 rounds for that.
i wondered if i heard that correctly too! i want to go to scotland and england to play sometime, but not if it costs 600 quid per round. haha!
@@lazy_dadThis is a PGA course at Gleneagles. It's more expensive than 99% of courses here. St.Andrews courses are even a lot cheaper than that for a round.
300 GBP per course, 600 total for the day 2 courses
@@GolfSidekick And there was me thinking Chee Chan was expensive. You still going to be in SA?

Tasteful guess
Oh he knew…he knew. Great troll.
😂
A bit of schadenfreude watching someone else suffer.
What's up with the weird voiceover?
Shaves more....what a line😅
