ABOUT ME:
I’m Liam Harrison, Bolton born and bred. I’m a lover of Golf, life and laughter.
Started Golf 12 years ago after packing in football when i was 28 due to a back injury.
I started the TH-cam channel as a laugh and a Wim, to make me practice but that went out the window as i started vlogging, loving being on camera but more so the interaction with my #golfmates.
In 14 months i have seen the channel evolve and become the only real golf community on TH-cam which i am extremly proud of.
I would like to thank all the #golfmates that have been with us and supported us and the channel from the start. Also not forgetting our new #golfmates that may have only just come across the channel.

The driving range is the first place you go when you're looking for it, the problem is that the magic dust usually stays in the driving range 😂😂
Mark Farrar isn’t this the truth
Long term watcher, new golfmates member. Appreciate your humor and realistic reviews. I’m 29 and new to golf completely thanks for helping me understand and enjoy this sport more
I totally agree Liam. My "found the secret" story is a few rounds ago I noticed I was miss hitting and hitting fat or shanks. and I wasn't sure what was going on then I thought of Grip pressure. I decided to pay attention to grip pressure and nothing else. So if 1 is weak pressure and 10 is strong I try to swing with a 3. It has made a lot of difference on my contact. I have to sort out a few other things and we are going into off season so maybe next season. However I talked to my wife and we agreed that I can join you in Florida in March! Going to send a deposit late October! I will be flying in from Montreal! My game might be crap but I look forward to meeting you and all the other #Golfmates!
When I'm playing badly, I go to the bar and drink until I don't care that I'm playing badly.... works every time. Cheers golf mates!!!
We see you are confident with that approach.
I can't play sober lol.
I learned to not care when I'm sober. Then I just not care more happily when I'm drinking.
Excellent Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard about - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (google it)? It is a smashing one off product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my good mate called Gray at last got excellent results with it.
When I'm thinking about my swing too much and hitting it all over the course, i'll break out a few cans of "aiming juice". Works more times than not.
I did the same Liam, sorted my posture out and my ball striking improved which in turn improved my confidence. Also I now try to see the shot I’m going to hit and then play the shot, keep up the great work, the channel is picking back up now 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Visualization is vital! THAT'S the magic!
Nicely done Liam. Nothing better than "finding something" and being able to stand over the ball and allow yourself the confidence of visualising your shot. Nice job.
Hi Liam, Ive been a Tennis coach all my life, there is no doubt that the magic move exists, it is in your head, 100%, think good things and good things will happen, PMA Positive mental Attitude is everything in Sport and Life, if you go round saying youre playing shite then its shite you will play, belief is the way !! Nice vlog mate, best regards Fraser Beach
Good tip, thanks
I'm a golf pro and it's not in your head - I have 2 small simple moves with the left shoulder girdle and the right shoulder girdle and it sets the club perfectly every time so you can just hit the ball well every time - I didnt make it up - I may have tweaked it a bit but it came from a legendary golf teacher in the US who taught quite a few major champions.
Cool Video! I use to have that outside to inside looping swing when I was a teen and decided to quit football & baseball so to focus on golf. I took lessons and the first thing my Instructor addressed was getting rid of the loop and getting me an inside to outside swing path. Your way is so much simpler!
Needed a lesson to figure out what what new things I was doing wrong. Now I just try feel I flying the club down the fairway towards target which does 2 things. Keeps me relaxed and let's me release the club at the right time. It's not only changed my swing but it's changed my mindset into being more relaxed when playing.
I’m starting to get back into golf after 30 or 35 years, your videos are really helping! Thank you GOLFMATE!
I was struggling last week. Watched this video then went out last night more confidence and stood up more as felt I was quite slumped last week. I'm not great but this helped me this week.
Confidence is a great thing to have in your bag as it were. To be honest I find that a lesson with my local PGA pro actually gives me confidence; he's a great teacher. The alternative seems to be hitting the same wrong swing on the range further reinforcing the error.
Cheers #50
Lessons have helped me a ton, cuz now I have something to work on when I do hit the range. It eliminates all the guesswork and trial and error. You can figure it out, but be prepared to take more time. I think it also helps to get lessons on putting, chipping and pitching. Your overall game gets help.
Positive thoughts. When addressing the ball, think "this is going down the middle", "this is going on the green" or "this is going in the hole". Positive mental attitude.
Great vid Liam.
The biggest distance on the course is the distance between your ears. PMA.
Great video. Keep it up👍
Confidence is massive. I was playing poorly with my driver in the run up to a comp but great with my wood. First tee at the comp (over 4 days) and I said i'm hitting one shot with my driver, if it's bad it's not coming back out of the bag. I absolutely creamed it down the fairway and it boosted my confidence. Played excellently with it for the whole weekend. No idea what I was doing differently the only thing that changed was my mind set. haha
So glad you have found the magic again. I have had a shocking year with my golf, after a lot of lessons I have figured out I need to swing easy and don't worry about the bad shots. Keep up the great work Liam
You have the same eyesight as I do.... "GET IN!!!!"....30 ft past hole. LOL. Great to see you playing well and having fun.
😝😬😅
Don't worry about the odd serious video, still entertaining...you may not be a professional golfer but definitely a pro on TH-cam!! Big up the Golfmates. Best golf channel on here. Nice to see Josh back too. Was a emotional 😢 his little face. Lol keep up the hard work!! 👍
hi Liam went to a pro am last year. got talking to a pro about my swing.he gave me a tip.about slicing the ball. in the downswing feel like you are hitting the ball to the right.slice is gone that simple.that was the secret i got told. another great video. thanks
Your swing looks much better in this video! There aren’t enough Os
in the word smooth to describe it.
And confidence is 75% of the game as far as I’m concerned. 👍👍👍
Great video and i've gone through the same process as you, but another thing i found for confidence is when ever id practice i would go off the white tees but this was hurting my game so i have gone back to the yellow tees for practicing and white only for comps this has dramatically changed my game for the good.
I usually try and work it out myself, but after a particular shocker of a round ha a few lessons and it's made a real difference (and giving you the confidence is part of it). Nice video.
Well done Liam! Finding swing faults on your own can be dangerous sometimes, as you can add other defects that correct the one you were trying to iron out. In your case though, that swing is looking really good.
I find that when ever you’ve found the magic dust, it’s always best to just take a couple of swing thoughts and maybe one set up thought away from the range. Golf’s hard enough! So keep it simple.
Cheers Liam! Love what you’re doing golfmate!
Liam, lookup Monte Scheinblum,
no turn cast swing.
That simple swing thought completely changed my swing and brought it to live!
i totally agree, confidence is a key part of the game.... it helped me... play with a smile on ya face.... you play better and it irritates people...lol....keep 'em coming liam.... Ged
Liam, your swing looks really good. u are 100% correct confidence is # 1. 30 years of teaching golf and the one tip I always give to students that don't finish on their lead side is the don't pull down and trough with their lead arm. Just a thought. Great video and I'm happy for you.
Love how you play to enjoy the game, but still enjoy the game by playing better. Me and my mate are on our 2/3 weeks off work doing a golfing road trip from London, working our way north. In Snowdonia at the minute, spectacular views!
Great stuff Liam. What i do if im going through a ropey patch with my irons is just play irons, no driver or recovery/ fairway woods.
A couple of rounds always brings the confidence back. We are animals at the end of the day and we do get lazy mentally very easy.
Try a couple of rounds playing 4 or 5 iron off the tee. It works a treat and youll be surprised how little difference there is in your scoring.
What you've done is fixed what Dave (and I) have noticed; you've been changing the shaft angle on your takeaway to a sightly different plane. You still do it with your driver but you've fixed it with your irons. Another good clip, nice work Liam.
100% agree with you Liam confidence is everything. Nobody knows your game better than yourself .
I struggled for years hitting short iron shots to the point where I would talk myself out of hitting the shot resulting in a duff shot.
Now I don't worry about hitting any type shot because I have confidence in my shot choice now . It was like a weight being lifted of my shoulders and the enjoyment factor returned to my game
Good for you Liam...when I was playing before I had spinal fusion..I was doing what you were doing. I had lessons this and that. I realized I have to be comfortable. I was reaching out, when lining up. I decided to straighten my back and get closer to the ball. I lost a little distance at first but worked on it...you got it going and the main thing is I see you comfortable and above all smiling...even though you are smiling all the time. Keep that Josh smiling..l can't imagine the dreams he had, hopefully not wet!!
I had the same problems with my irons and I tried to figure it out myself but I ended up getting a lesson and it's the best thing ever.Sometimes you need somebody to see where your going wrong to tell you how to fix it.Headfort Golf Club Kells County Meath Ireland
We just made the same set up change I've gone to more upright. It's taken fat shots out of my game I don't mind the thin shots they go straight and with mid irons go about the same distance. Cheers to you Liam
I played rufford park today in an away day, true what you say about confidence started off well and scored 36 points. Great news about Josh, some very generous golf mates.
I see the glimmer in your eye mate. I’m really happy for you. Nothing like the feeling of finding it. Cheers!
Every time I take a lesson, I’m out of sorts for a few rounds! So sometimes trying to individually find the “magic thing” works but is usually short lived. However confidence is always, always good! Nice video!
great job, always awesome to find "corrections" on your own, makes it more permanent
Well done Liam, confidence shows and is a massive game changer. Personally, I go to the range to try and find my thing.
Liam your right ...confidence is the opposite to talking your plàying partner into trouble...and it works.
Great videos
Dave Ozz
I started hitting shots at 90% rather than smacking the hell out of the ball and that's made my shots so much straighter. I see you have a slow and smooth swing too Liam! Given me a lot of confidence and 2 strokes off breaking the big 100!
Thanks for sharing your confidence. I’ll be takin’ a bit of that with me to my next round, mate!
Steady head will keep the back from hurting as well I found when I had movement in my posture my back ached more towards the end of the round
Liam, I know what you mean. I've been changing my swing over the past two years, going from a bomber slicer to a moderate accurate shot. I'll get most of my distance back as I tweak it. Now I can play the dog legs using a driver with confidence. I can draw or fade it around the corner. The main thing is to come into the ball as shallow as possible. That produces an upswing with the driver and a solid shot with the irons since the club's coming from in to out. No more digging! The smash factor is way up. This may sound a bit juvenile but just the other day, I played 18 on a new course carved out of the forest, with the same ball. That's a first for me! Magic dust!
Liam great to see you happy. I can't believe it but yesterday I had my 1st ever lesson ha ha it's about 30 years too late! But what a difference it made after only half an hour. I was hitting the ball so much better. But you are right confidence rather than doubting yourself makes the biggest improvement of all. 👍
Liam Confidence breeds confidence......👍👍👍great ball striking there golfmate
What you have done for young josh is absolutely fantastic Liam,best thing I’ve seen on TH-cam for many a years,the look on his face was priceless 👍🏻👍🏻
Confidence is definitely a big factor in my game as well and I need it with my handicap being 18! So pleased you are happy to have found yours...
I too have been struggling lately. 6 rounds in a row in the 80’s. I worked it out myself, I went to the range, I watched vids, including yours which have been very helpful. Today I played 2 rounds. I shot a 76 and a 79 from 6900 yards. My putting was atrocious too. Very good day. Good for the confidence.
Liam! I agree confidence is key to any golf shot. Finding that “key” on the range is part of this great game! Love your videos!
I think you are right , Liam. Confidence is a huge part of the game. All the pros say, pick the club and commit to the shot. I shy away from fairway woods as I rarely hit a good shot. However, yesterday’s round I used my 3 wood and hit it successfully 6 times. Hopefully, this kind of luck continues.
Following a security alert at Manchester Airport yesterday and travelling by train I ended up At Withenshaw by Tram, but on the way I went past Chorlon Cum Hardy Golf Club, Pathetic, I was so excited to see it from a distance. I have promised myself a game there one day. Keep up with the good videos Liam.
Hey Liam, confidence/belief are very powerful tools, whatever you truly believe you're right, I'm not hitting my irons well for example. There is another couple, whatever we focus on we move towards, I don't want to feed the fish, how many times do we with that swing thought focus? And one of the best sayings I've heard, where there is doubt there is no doubt, I'll let you think about that one. Great video as usual, stand straight and swing easy GolfMate 👍
Been a Golfmate for a few months now. Like your channel so much I named our Stableford team "The Golfmates ". Thanks for the great videos. 🏌️♂️
love that run back to the camera everytime you hit a good drive never gets old.
Well done Liam, not seen you par 3 holes on the trot for a long time! Best TH-cam Golf channel ever!
Happy for you man! I've found that something in my swing lately as well. Much like you, I was reaching a bit too much for the ball. Once I started checking my setup before swinging I started hitting solid shots(thin shots, and even some tops have been killing me this year). The solid shots boosted my confidence and I hit more solid shots. It's sticking around also. It worked on the course last week, and it worked again today on the range, where I haven't been in a few days. The first shot was good, and so were almost all of the rest, solid and on target right through the bag.
+6 today, just found I was flexing the knees a tad too much, was hitting my irons rubbish !! Today a little like yourself I stood a little taller, struck the irons “ Sweet “ !!! What a relief to put in a good round ha ha !!
I go to the range. I play between 5 and 10 times a year these days and always enjoy it, I used to play every week and found the pressure of trying to lower my handicap made golf more stressful. Not bothered these days, play off 12, score 20 or 40, I have a great day out.
Hello Liam, hello from France to GolfMaters! We need someone like you on the French fairways ... A bit crazy, in love with golf, but very serious at bottom without taking himself seriously: Too much golfers have forgotten that it was a GAME.
Thank you Liam and God Save Golfmate.
If you pass through France, I would be happy to hit some balls and have a drink, or several a night around a good meal with other golfers.
Confidence is a huge factor in hitting good golf shots, the minute your not you've already played a bad shot before you address the ball, that counts for everyone low or higher handicaps.
I watch you everyday now.
Someone finally bringing some fun aswell as good content to the game of golf.
Keep it up mate
Great video. When I am over a putt and say to myself " you've made these before" I seem to make a better stroke. Maybe you've hit the nail on the head
Good to see you hitting some nice iron shots, but most of all enjoying yourself, loving the vids, watching you, Omp, Josh & the Dick has got me back playing golf after 25yrs away from it, keep up the good work 😁
Liam, may I suggest to keep that swing, "you found out" but add this particularity: align to the ball, as you do. Then be as stable as you can, take the right foot back a half foot length, so that the right toe is at the hight of your inner ankle. This will "take the right hip out of the backswing" which permits to swing freely without tension and facilitates the "finish". This way you don't hurt your back. Keep all the swing thoughts you found out in this video and I fully agree with you! Cheers from Germany. (Oh don't run back to the cam, keep the elegant finish position and follow your ball until it hits the ground so your brain remembers the shot subconsciously ... we viewers don't need to follow the ball, just describe us the trajectory and we see the next shot when you align again, so we know where it landed). Keep up the good work, mate!
Definitely agree Liam , positive thoughts and don’t beat yourself up if it doesn’t go to plan
Very well played matey.................and it was good to see you yesterday at the TAGers golf day!
First time the problems develop, a lesson with the club pro was needed. Since then, any problems that have developed I've tried to sort on the range, with mostly positive results. Good to see your game coming back, as well as those fivers coming back to your pocket!
Confidence is key. Keeping it is hard. Spend time on the range hitting shots you wouldn't usually hit. Pull them off and your confidence grows again. Keep the great work. Totally made up for Josh. Great stuff.
Its great finding a thing, I was struggling with slices. My son was having his lesson at the junior academy and heard the pro telling him that his downswing should come more from his hips. tried it that afternoon and bingo! Found my fix.
I can relate to this Liam, found that I’m hitting out of the toe a lot but I just went on the range and tried standing slightly closer to the ball and tried to swing in and out, lately I’m hitting much more consistent and confident.... OMP said something a few weeks/months ago and it has stuck with me “if it feels strange or odd then your doing it right”. Glad to see the confidence back Liam
Happy for you, Liam. I've been playing forever and I still stink, but when I find a new "thing" it's just so exciting.
Liam, Glad you got your confidence. Just a suggestion. Film if you can from the side angle. It may help in diagnosis as it helped me. Golfmates is Fantastic. Greetings from the states
Great stuff Liam, always try and drop the club on the inside resulting in a soft draw... Best of luck in the future with your newfound thing.... Golf mates rock...
Great point mate and good to see this. Maybe try and use shot tracer rather than worrying about the zoom. I know it takes ages to edit but they’re great for demonstrating the general path of the ball. Killing it mate.
Great video confidence is massive negative thoughts are bad for the game . I used to have a saying when swinging to keep my tempo I used to say slow and smooth and it worked for me .
Bloody great video Liam . Thanks. I'm gonna head down to the range right now. Cheers
You are bang on mate. It is about finding that thing as we all swing different. I've found mine this year and I am now being called a banded. Yes there are thing we have to do and the pro can teach you that, but he can't teach that thing.
Only you can fine it🙄
Everyone has their own Hercules heel to overcome in golf. Same as you, I play off 7 and struggle with consistent iron strikes. I had great lesson with local pro and he stopped me swaying about. You need someone else looking at you and have to be honest about your weakness, if you want to improve it. Well done Liam.
I found “som-it”.......this fantastic golf channel 👍👍⛳️😃😃
Good one Liam ... Easy to forget to do those little magic changes to your swing after a while ... my tip is to bullet point them on a slip of paper and have a read before each round. Nothing more annoying than getting to the 17th hole and realising you'd forgotten to do something to your swing until then😊
Now you got it ! I have found that if I address the ball with any thoughts in my head other than the ball going to the target IT GOES ANYWHERE ! Confidence/positive thinking/seeing the shot,the game is more MENTAL than you know..
Practice is key to confidence and getting your game back on track
I go to the range and try and work it out myself. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I find that if I can't sort it out, just leave the range and not worry about it too much.
Confidence is a great thing to have when you're playing golf. Whenever I have problems, I usually talk to my best friend ( we have been friends since we were 5 years old... that's 57 years! ). We know each other's swing inside out...and he actually helped me develop my swing to where I don't have to use my legs so much...as I have had 9 operations on my left knee! With my upper body strength....the two of us decided that hitting all my shots like one hits a ball out of a fairway bunker...using little to no leg action...would work for me. So...after several months of practicing it on the driving range and the course...and working diligently on my short game...my scores began to drop. I don't play much during the summer because of the heat...we are still having daily highs near 100° F...or 37° C...and my doctor's frown upon me getting over heated. My apartment complex has a putting green which I use in the early mornings to keep my putting stroke sharp.
Enjoyed your video today!!! From a Texas based #golfmates!
Love it! Thanks buddy! Can’t wait to golf this year when the weather breaks!
Loved as always yes I believe in self belief confidence and enjoy the game xx
Brilliant Liam, great to see you back playing well, that's a key ingredient to playing good golf, confidence in your own ability 👍👏👏
Love to see it when you figure things out. Did the same with my irons about 2 weeks ago watching a couple videos and can't believe how much better I'm striking the ball. That confidence is key. Now I've just got to write it down as we don't play much through the winter here and you tend to forget what you did well when spring arrives.
Love watching you’re videos Liam. You and the lads crack me up glad you’ve sorted you’re iron swing out. Have you ever played Hartford golf course northwich?
You know when you've found summit, it's all downhill from there.
MeKKan for the life of me I couldn’t understand him today lol.
He has a good swing, he found summit
I do has you have said and go to the range and try and work it out. Then when I get to the course I have all other shite going through my head and forget to do something else like aim the right way hit a lovely shot and miss the green. Will try the traffic light system next game could I add more colours to help great vid
'Things' that work seem to have a short shelf life. Enjoy them while they last, then go find some more. That's the way.
Spot on - and there are plenty of tips/thoughts to move on to! I'm getting better at leaving "thoughts" behind at the practice range and focusing on where I want to send the ball while I'm swinging. Tips/fixes work then usually get overdone, but focusing on the target can't - at least no so far!
Was one of the "little things" you found, your willie(.LOL)
Great video, confidence has a considerable bearing on how well you play..
Hello to all golfmates from Glasgow.
I discovered iam crap at golf.
Buti love working it out.
I agree 100% Liam. I found that “magical thing” last night at a local range. Incredible feeling when it hits you.
Hi Liam, I'm glad you found your iron swing again. Golf, like a nice glass of whiskey, is best enjoyed with a stress free and relaxed mind. As for the Dick's camera work, think of it like his technique adds a slightly different flavour to the episode.
Cheers
So close to 50k now. We'll deserved too. Been smashing top content for ages and regularly.
good to see ya playing better there liam still got to watch those hands creeping upright when you start the swing try swinging a little flat on your practice rounds might help keep them down
