I loved the smile on your face Andy, that`s what the Belfry does to golfers (puts a smile on their face). For several years I had an office 10 minutes from there so was lucky enough to play the 3 courses on a regular basis, pure heaven! It would be great if we could have the Ryder Cup back at the Brabazon, but personally I would prefer it to come to Royal Birkdale as it is a great venue for spectators and I would like to see the Ryder Cup played on a Links rather than Parkland course.
Terrific Andy - one of your best- great production value and could really feel your excitement and 'good nerves' out there - and you were playing great too !!
Well done Andy ... enjoy watching your vlogs. Just an update on my handicap as well ... not a huge move, but going in the right direction...down to 12.6 ....look forward to your next video
Another great video Andy and the way you played the 10th was superb!!!!! I wish you'd have holed that so that we could see you zig-zag running over the course like you did when you holed that bunker shot!! Love it when players get that excited about a brilliant shot.
Came back to the UK 2 years ago and my son treated me to the Belfry and on the 10th had to go for it and got front edge of green loved the place and playing with my son nothing better but fed the fish on 18.
really enjoyed my game at the brabazon/belfry, its expensive but worth a treat, from the moment we arrived the service was great, only downside was the pace of play which was so slow. 10th is such an iconic hole, wow factor, enjoyed the vlog andy
Really enjoyed playing the bleary,the brabazon was definitely the best ,like you Andy it felt fantastic playing the 10th and 18th, we had a brilliant time and all the staff and facilities were fantastic. Yes I think the Ryder cup should be played there again
Great video mate. I played the Brab last year, was worth every penny. Even managed to par the 10th, which was a real result for me 🙂 Like you said, it's fantastic being able to play where you've seen so many amazing golf moments over the years; it's like a football fan getting to play on Wembley! ☺️
Cometh the hour cometh the man. Andy you looked good right from the start, with a really cool shirt and the red cap together with some great golf shots,brilliant. Yes the R.C.should return there. Thanks for some great viewing tonight. Nothing average about that!
Its a good question and I did look at the back tees, seem a long way back for an amateur like me but maybe not for the pro's, would have to tighten fairways and grow the rough
Local to me, on my route to work. Nothing better on a Sunny afternoon than grabbing a drink, sitting by the halfway hut & watching the world come up the 9th & 18th....& judging anyone who takes an iron off the 10th 😉
Hi Andy, just finished captains day shot 74 gross par 72 SS73 so should be 4.8 4.9 depending on other scores but really happy with that, I’ve hit my target for your board but now it’s keeping or getting better with lots of luck! #tagers.
It's an incredible facility isn't it. My latest vlog was done there actually. A 2day MEDAL. absolutely savage. So much fun at the same time. Incredible course. New sub here. Love this vid
Well played Andy! Are the tee times very bunched there? Would a normal group of golfers be under pressure for the 18 holes to stay ahead which would take from the experience?!
Mark Sheehan we played in a group. There was 4 groups of 4. They do let a group finish the first hole before they let the next group off which is good. Didn't really notice it clogging up at all on the brabazon. We had handicappers from 5 - 31 playing. So a real mix. It's an amazing experience. Go do it. U won't be disapointed... Except for when u spend money at the bar. Lol
Well Done. I played in almost identical conditions last summer. You beat me on every hole on the challenge. I put my tee shot pretty much exactly the same place on the 10th but didn’t make birdie. I would love it if the Ryder cup came back to the belfry.
Confirmed handicap from 5.5 now 4.9 gross 74 nett 68 standard scratch 73 just for your wall update I’ve hit my target now can I keep it or hopefully get cut again. Happy golfer. #tagers.
Love the place dont enjoy £5 for a latte or £17 for fish and chips. The Ryder cup has now become too big for the Belfry not enough room for spectators or the tented village T V equipment media and such like. Always thought the practice range was too noisy you may as well be on the hard shoulder of the motorway. sooner travel a little further to the Forest of Arden so much better without all the hype, prefer the 18th on the Arden course too. Some of the old pros should play in a SENIORS Tour later in the year sponsored by Farmfoods
Ryder cup has outgrown this venue I'm afraid. Used to be a member here but its now too corporate filled with hackers whose wives are in the spa and queues on every tee and groups waiting for the greens to clear then duffing their 2 iron in the lake. Also they never used to answer the phone and bookings went missing all the time. Service pretty shambolic. The bar is crazy expensive, £5 pints and avoid the Derby course its no better than a municipal

These are always fun. Your enthusiasm is infectious
Well done Andy ... enjoy watching your vlogs. Just an update on my handicap as well ... not a huge move, but going in the right direction...down to 12.6 ....look forward to your next video
Great to see you having such a good time & playing some great shots on such an iconic course!!
Yes the Ryder Cup should definitely return!
Yes its nice to play some good golf on a day out, its normally when the game falls apart!
Well done, mate. You are on a run now! 👍 Keep it up. It looks like the 64* wedge is working well when you need it. That was sooooo close! Wow.
Another great video Andy and the way you played the 10th was superb!!!!! I wish you'd have holed that so that we could see you zig-zag running over the course like you did when you holed that bunker shot!! Love it when players get that excited about a brilliant shot.
I really need to work on a 'cool' celebration! I look like a deranged mad man
Amazing footage of a truly stunning golf course. The production quality is just sensational. You even got Bill Oddie in the frame at 6:45!
I have tried to up my game on the production Don so I am happy with that comment
Teeuplo feat. Average Golfer your doing a great job! Far ahead of most of the stuff on TH-cam.
Came back to the UK 2 years ago and my son treated me to the Belfry and on the 10th had to go for it and got front edge of green loved the place and playing with my son nothing better but fed the fish on 18.
Cracking production Andy!!!

Getting fit for a g400 max on Saturday, thanks Andy 😀
hope it goes well Jamie
Used to live in Tamworth which is quite close to The Belfry, so I got to play all 3 courses a few times each. Each course is different too.
Only played the Belfry but they all looked good
Really enjoyed playing the bleary,the brabazon was definitely the best ,like you Andy it felt fantastic playing the 10th and 18th, we had a brilliant time and all the staff and facilities were fantastic. Yes I think the Ryder cup should be played there again
“Oh Jesus I thought I’d holed it...” 🤣 great shot Andy, Seve would have tipped his cap at that
I have a way with words....poetic
Great video mate. I played the Brab last year, was worth every penny. Even managed to par the 10th, which was a real result for me 🙂 Like you said, it's fantastic being able to play where you've seen so many amazing golf moments over the years; it's like a football fan getting to play on Wembley! ☺️
2nd shot on 10 was awesome sir 👍🏻👍🏻
Brilliant Andy looked like you played really well . you could see you were really enjoying it . well done pal course looked great
Thanks Jeff, hard not to enjoy
It looked pretty special
yes would be nice to see it back there.
I agree
Good vid Andy, nice to see a new course for Ryder cup. Handicap went up 9.0-9.1
Think I'm above the t.
Cometh the hour cometh the man.
Andy you looked good right from the start, with a really cool shirt and the red cap together with some great golf shots,brilliant.
Yes the R.C.should return there.
Thanks for some great viewing tonight.
Nothing average about that!
It was a great 3 holes although on this occasion I had a good knock for 18!
Fabulous shot onto the gree,nearly holed it great vlog,lovely course
got a bit excited!
fantastic course and a you played it well Andy. Great vlog.
I had a good 3 holes there!
Well chuffed for you mate, well played
What are your thoughts on the Belfry? Should the Ryder Cup return?
Its only 10mins from me! Only being playing 1 year so only done The Derby so far hopefully do the Brab/PGA by next summer!
Can they make it long enough? I have no clue btw.
Definitely.
Yes do it you will love it
Its a good question and I did look at the back tees, seem a long way back for an amateur like me but maybe not for the pro's, would have to tighten fairways and grow the rough
Great playing there Andy, Beautiful day and course. Congrats. The Ryder Cup should return to the Belfry.
Yes a good day Jay!
Yes great golf course if you play golf its a must to play
Id agree with that David
Local to me, on my route to work. Nothing better on a Sunny afternoon than grabbing a drink, sitting by the halfway hut & watching the world come up the 9th & 18th....& judging anyone who takes an iron off the 10th 😉
Playing here Friday and can’t wait now I’ve seen this, great video and great golf mate 👍🏻
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did Kieran

Impressive video fidelity....feels like you can step through the monitor onto the fairway
Should be on a rota for the ryder cup, like the open has for links courses.
Yes thats a fair point
It's an incredible facility isn't it. My latest vlog was done there actually. A 2day MEDAL. absolutely savage. So much fun at the same time. Incredible course.
New sub here. Love this vid
Great video nice course, of course the Ryder Cup should return to the Belfry.
Thxs and I really do think it should return
Nice course, I walked it when the pro was there , looks like your playing well......
I am feeling quite good but we golfers know that soon changes
It would great to see it there again but would it be long enough now 🤔
I noticed they did have some real long back tees but whether they are far enough back I am not sure
Well played Andy! Are the tee times very bunched there? Would a normal group of golfers be under pressure for the 18 holes to stay ahead which would take from the experience?!
Mark Sheehan we played in a group. There was 4 groups of 4. They do let a group finish the first hole before they let the next group off which is good.

It was in superb conditions and has the perfect matchplay holes for Ryder Cup
Teeuplo feat. Average Golfer agreed, I can't wait to go back there again
Hi andy got a cut on my handicap 16.3 to 15.4 get it on the wall 😝😝😝👊 great vid (Karl Doughty)
Well done Andy !. You seemed to be playing well. Wee bit jealous ( A lot actually) but not in a bad way mate.
I am very fortunate right now John but I am not daft enough not to realise it, make the most of it while I can!
Confirmed handicap from 5.5 now 4.9 gross 74 nett 68 standard scratch 73 just for your wall update I’ve hit my target now can I keep it or hopefully get cut again. Happy golfer. #tagers.

Some chip mate! 👌
Got to start hitting enough club then you can change the name to Above Average Golfer!
Ryder cup maybe, did u not get a shot on 10? Birdie nett eagle ??
Ryder cup has outgrown this venue I'm afraid. Used to be a member here but its now too corporate filled with hackers whose wives are in the spa and queues on every tee and groups waiting for the greens to clear then duffing their 2 iron in the lake. Also they never used to answer the phone and bookings went missing all the time. Service pretty shambolic. The bar is crazy expensive, £5 pints and avoid the Derby course its no better than a municipal
It is a resort course so will always be busy, new ownership in recent years and you could see the service level throughout was very good.
See you change your putter again
