Hahaha….. just wrote a message on the five point on improving…… and here the clutching at the tinker moment 😂😂😂 Finch, fryer, carter and shiels……. The four horseman of golf…….. my favourite channels Got to do another collaboration and get the boys back together would be awesome👌
Great to see you and Finchy giving the Jubilee some love recently. Best course in the town, so many memories from playing it all summer long as a local kid!
I played with a friend and 2 strangers there in early 90s. I shot 110 feeling like I'd not played that badly. My mate stopped scoring after 10. Of the strangers 1 walked off after 7 the other snapped a club in a pot bunker, lost a ball a hole but laughed all the way through. It was a "bit" windy and drizzled all day. Golf is maddening!
First class entertainment as always Matt, don’t worry about the golf pal, it’s secondary. Used to play this course in the 70’s with my late Dad, went on holiday here from Inverness and used to buy a week ticket and live on the place, truly fantastic golf course.
My son and I played the Strath and balgrove courses on one of our trips back to my homeland just before covid struck and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves....
I do hope someone raked that green side bunker on 18 before you hit the pub, because that was the sloppiest excuse for raking I've seen in a while... 😮😱😭 Unfortunately that's the way I seem to find most bunkers when I play and it really gets my juices going... 😖 If you as a content creator/influencer show people it's ok to leave a bunker like that, I'm not that surprised that I keep finding unraked bunkers...
Gutted for you matt. Never good not playing well at such a great venue. I now think I must have played out of skin to play two under my handicap there. My son beat me by 10 points that shows how well he did. Love the videos keep up the great work.
This brings back a few memories from back in 2002, when I played all the courses in St Andrews. The Jubilee was absolutely not very forgiving on errant shot, I remember that much :)
Initially you sounded like someone with anxiety, I suffer the same, breathing gets heavy, it’s such a horrible condition. Hopefully I’m wrong for you, just sounded very similar to me.
I've never understood the logic of playing safe. Modern drivers are 1 of the easiest club's to hit. And provide such an advantage with distance. If you're playing to compensate for hitting bad shots. I don't think it's the best approach...
With climate change, links golf is changing. Obviously the UK is now windier, making links courses even more difficult. The UK is also wetter in summer, and has been for over 10 years, this means rough doesn’t burn off the same as in the past. Links first cut rough is almost parkland, and the long stuff is thicker than previously. The course I played for 25 years is a seaside downland, so very high, plays as a links. Green fees have plummeted because the course was becoming unplayable for amateur golfers, I had a couple of tour pros give it a go, and they just laughed and said “you don’t play competitions in this” we did, and shouldn’t have done. The anemometer that measured wind speed, got destroyed by the wind😂😂. Our greens staff couldn’t keep up with grass cutting, 12 months a year, because we had warm wet winters, so the rough just got thicker. With energy costs, cutting grass is expensive, so fairways are not as wide, greens are made smaller. Courses such as St Andrews have a name to maintain green fees, other less known links must be struggling, my old course went from 800 members to 230 and greatly reduced green fees, despite never flooding, so only closed for fog. Your score was made more difficult, because green run offs, fed to semi rough, that previously wouldn’t have been there in summer, the classic putt or bump and run from off the green is disappearing. Hey ho, makes for entertainment on your channel.
Great video Matt, great watch. Just stopped after your little re-cap after 9. I think you’ll finish level, think you could go low but the wind is a massive factor.
I’m loving the series have watched both seasons numerous times.. But… but…. I want to challenge matt to play a round without any tech to tell him the distances No watch no distance looker (sorry I’m having a brain fart on what they are called 😂😂) Just play a course and get in the red on feel I think Matt would do it..
Shooting low scores is not about keeping score or even thinking about the score. It's about how many in play shots you can shoot in a row, if you can keep discipline to recover, and then go for in play again. Par, under par, over par, eagles and birdies are all distractions and bullshit. They encourage emotion and Golf is about stoicism. Golf is an exercise in purity, peace, discipline, and focus. Golf is spiritual. A pure golf swing will get you into heaven.
One of those days Matt,on the rake outside the bunker where it knocked it in. I was always taught leave the rake in the bunker,it might stop you going the hazard or in your case,knock it in?!
Couple feet off the green and it may as well be a mile. Today rhe course is like an unforgiving wife. Just trying my hand at some commentary in your style. LOL.
I really wanted to see you chip through the tree on the 3rd hole I think it was. Although it's not your best round just be happy that you get to do something you love every day 🙏 Another good video, thx 👍
Real handicaps for the supposed scratch TH-cam golfers are as follows Jimmy the legend bulldog Bullard is the only scratch golfer Peter Finch is a 5-7 handicap Matt Fryer is a 8-10 handicap Rick Shiels as much as I love him at present is 12-14 handicap Back the golf range fellas and book some lessons with JB 👍🏌️♂️🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
Great track, loved it. Played it while I waited to get on the old course. 2 rounds off golf while getting up at 4 am to line up for the old course did kind of affect my old course round but it was a day to remember
Funniest TH-cam golfer on the scene! Not your best round today , but you bring the real life earthiness to it, like your having a round with your mates. Brilliant series. Keep it up Matt 👍
I love Matt’s sense of humour. On one of the other TH-cam golf channels (Tubes & Ang..) they ask for a dream fourball and I have to say i’d love to play with MF, P Finch and Carter (with or preferably without cameras) for the golf, advice (not allowed to tell me to “pack it in”) banter and after round pints.
I don't know if you have played this course before, it's always harder not knowing the course. It looked like you were rushing it a bit.😮 Really enjoy your content 🎉
We ve all been there Matt regarding the 10th when it starts to go wrong the game doth bites you on the backside but you keep fighting and like ive alwayscsaid even when its not going wel there is always one shot or putt that gets you back into the game...
@@Mattfryergolf No sir you can not! But way more fun watching you whack it from the weeds anyway! You know because none of us do that ever. I actually chuckled I think three times :) But, one was for the long birdie putt from off the green!
53 mins of watching one man's descent into madness. By the end of the round Matt looks like Brando in Apocalypse Now. The horror. The horror

It was like listening to your 90 year old grandmother complain about her arthritic hip for 52 minutes.
Truly beautiful half put off the green on 4th Matt……. Absolutely perfectly dripped in🥰
Made up for the dodgy pitch 😂
So so many memories, thanks Matt. I was a St Andrews GC Member 1997 - 2008
How refreshing to see a video at St Andrews that isn’t the Old Course! Thanks for sharing!
21:51, one of the worst rake jobs ever. No wonder our bunkers are in rough shape with you tourists not raking them properly. 😂
First class entertainment as always Matt, don’t worry about the golf pal, it’s secondary. Used to play this course in the 70’s with my late Dad, went on holiday here from Inverness and used to buy a week ticket and live on the place, truly fantastic golf course.
Kudos for keeping your cool. I could see it bubbling but you kept it somewhat at bay. Great vid and great fight Matt.
Feel for ya. Just watched Taco Golf playing in the fog. Great antidote, pure ASMR
One of the best courses I’ve ever played. Great to see it getting more attention.
Couldn't agree more!
Golf is a easy game to play...just very very hard to score..Even good shots some times end up with a bad out come..Thanks for sharing this course...
My son and I played the Strath and balgrove courses on one of our trips back to my homeland just before covid struck and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves....
I've just come back from an absolute shocker of a round, so I can empathise with Matt! But I wouldn't mind seeing some good golf for a change 😂
I do hope someone raked that green side bunker on 18 before you hit the pub, because that was the sloppiest excuse for raking I've seen in a while... 😮😱😭

Not much better raking on the 7th hole either😢 thats why that ball didn’t drop on the green. Karma
@@davjim6 Take carefully of the course and the course will take care of you...
Gutted for you matt. Never good not playing well at such a great venue. I now think I must have played out of skin to play two under my handicap there. My son beat me by 10 points that shows how well he did.
Love the videos keep up the great work.

When I was a St Andrews student I used to play this course every week. Miss this town so much!
Matt please stop shaving your head. Please grow your hair out shoulder length. It’ll look great!
That would be a scary look

Hi Matt, I met you at Old Course today 15th Feb... Haha3 nice meeting you in person
Great video Matt, great watch. Just stopped after your little re-cap after 9. I think you’ll finish level, think you could go low but the wind is a massive factor.
I always read that all the TH-cam golfers adjust their lies. Clearly Matt doesn’t do that. Thanks for playing it fair and square Matt!
S1ht 😂😂 The course scrambled your spelling as well 👍
And you teach us golf? 🤣. Just kidding, that’s golf yeah. 👍🏼
I’m loving the series have watched both seasons numerous times..
But… but….
I want to challenge matt to play a round without any tech to tell him the distances
No watch no distance looker (sorry I’m having a brain fart on what they are called 😂😂)
Just play a course and get in the red on feel
I think Matt would do it..

I think you should embrace your inner angry golfer, its what TH-cam is missing right now…….
One of those days Matt,on the rake outside the bunker where it knocked it in. I was always taught leave the rake in the bunker,it might stop you going the hazard or in your case,knock it in?!
Couple feet off the green and it may as well be a mile. Today rhe course is like an unforgiving wife.
Just trying my hand at some commentary in your style. LOL.
Matt, everything on your CH seems to be impossible by the labels on your thumbnails!
I am like what now!
I really wanted to see you chip through the tree on the 3rd hole I think it was.
Although it's not your best round just be happy that you get to do something you love every day 🙏
Another good video, thx 👍
Tough day Matt, golf is cruel at times, yourself and Pete finch should come and play lahinch, see what the both of you could shoot, you'd love it.
Real handicaps for the supposed scratch TH-cam golfers are as follows
Jimmy the legend bulldog Bullard is the only scratch golfer
Peter Finch is a 5-7 handicap
Matt Fryer is a 8-10 handicap
Rick Shiels as much as I love him at present is 12-14 handicap
Back the golf range fellas and book some lessons with JB 👍🏌️♂️🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
Another set of clubs for the naughty room, and golfer that needs to lower their expectations.🤷♂
Great track, loved it. Played it while I waited to get on the old course. 2 rounds off golf while getting up at 4 am to line up for the old course did kind of affect my old course round but it was a day to remember
Jeez Matt let up on yourself abit you went full Rick Shiels negative after that 8
Matt, how did you get a tt for one person only? Every time I have played SA, it was as a fourball.
What’s happened to your putting MF? You used to be deadly…
which is why rakes should be in bunkers if the ball isn't going into a bunker it shouldn't be deflected in.
How come all these courses you play over there don't have fairways?
The back 9 here is especially tough. Gotta get the front 9 when you can.
No need to apologise for anything. Golf is hard, right? Great vlog as ever Mr F
That "hmmmm land...." growl.....not creepy at all mate 😂
Bad drills with the trolley Matt. Should never be that close to the greens.
The Jigger Inn can change things for the better... it's a good spot.
What is with all the adds? 3 adds in 12 minutes ridiculous
There's no way the Jubilee is the hardest, not a chance
🔥🔥🔥
Never mind Mat. Pete struggled too.
Are you Rick Shiels in disguise?
Funniest TH-cam golfer on the scene! Not your best round today , but you bring the real life earthiness to it, like your having a round with your mates. Brilliant series. Keep it up Matt 👍
Glad you are enjoying them 🤙
In the red. Is that for how red your face gets?
I love Matt’s sense of humour.
On one of the other TH-cam golf channels (Tubes & Ang..) they ask for a dream fourball and I have to say i’d love to play with MF, P Finch and Carter (with or preferably without cameras) for the golf, advice (not allowed to tell me to “pack it in”) banter and after round pints.
We feel your pain , golf is tough on your ego
You mentioned using a caddy? Give Liam from Golf Mates a call, winning caddy with Dan Gavins! What an interesting collaboration that would make!
the rolls you were getting were BRUTAL! I can't imagine. Greens must have been like pool felt.
Great series , possibly better than break 75 😮
Possibly........I'd say so 😜
An entertaining 52 minutes.
I don't know if you have played this course before, it's always harder not knowing the course.
It looked like you were rushing it a bit.😮
Really enjoy your content 🎉
5 over? I'm 28 min, i will know soon
If you want to know a man's character quickly, play a round of golf with him at a hard course.
So relatable, had me laughing at times. Even when it’s all going pear shaped you’re still the wittiest golfer on you tube.
Your 8 is my second hole hahaha so calm down, hit the ball, and enjoy the beautiful course your lucky to play!
I Don't understand why anyone fails to take a local caddie around Saint Andrews just to read the greens if nothing else?
We ve all been there Matt regarding the 10th when it starts to go wrong the game doth bites you on the backside but you keep fighting and like ive alwayscsaid even when its not going wel there is always one shot or putt that gets you back into the game...
Jeez, I thought Rick Sheils was bad at golf ….😂
56 that close to the green with no check and downwind...not surprised it rolls out.
Greta video. Funny that you actually managed to get stymied by the only tree on the course :)
Sorry going +7
Great videa

Matt Fryer......dog trainer extraordinaire 😂😂😂
Strange maybe but I have only realised this year that these other links exist 😂. I don’t see the Jubilee on the map you show though.
Yep there are 6 down on the same land as the old course
Ah that was fun to watch!
Fairways Hit: 4/14
Greens in Regulation: 7/18
Putts: 33
But who is counting - right? 😬
Can't play good everytime
@@Mattfryergolf No sir you can not! But way more fun watching you whack it from the weeds anyway! You know because none of us do that ever. I actually chuckled I think three times :) But, one was for the long birdie putt from off the green!
feel your pain - played it a few years back and it chewed me up and spat me out
It's a proper test!
Gives hope to the rest of us Matt
Hole five….. K.I.S.S method explained lol
For sure 😂
With so many courses together does anyone end up on the wrong course?
All the time. Sometimes you're out of bounds other times you can play it.
Well done Matt some days are diamonds and then there’s this one.
Yep tough day but still a good one
8! On hole 10 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 we all feel your pain.
🤣🤣🤣
You are outrageous cool and funny, love the videos!😃⛳️🏌🏻♂️
Glad you like them!
