Put a positive spin on it Dan. You haven’t played much, you hardly practice, you haven’t played in any tournaments but yet you still finished above almost half of the field. I’d call that a good result #glasshalffull
Lovely tribute to Ray Reardon, Dan. You and he…..both class acts! Interesting that, even at your level, nerves and emotions play such a huge part in performance, and to finish where you did whilst not comfortable is a good achievement. Great Sunday Morning Show.
We used to get Pot Black on TV in Australia. I remember as a boy my Dad telling me how much he loved watching Ray Reardon. It must have been marvelous to be able to speak with a true great if a sport.
Great respectful tribute to the legend Mr Reardon 👏 I had the privilege of meeting and chatting with him in Brixham a few times Dan. True gentleman he was, RIP Ray 🙏
Hi Dan. Good to hear a status report. The nerves thing... that's normal coming off a layoff from lots of competitions. It mainly arises from feeling under prepared, and that hurts your confidence, and then performance drops. The only way to minimize it is efficient practice and better preparedness, which builds back the confidence and trust required to reach peak performance. But you know this already ;) keep grinding mate. Cheers.
Lovely to hear the old theme tune again. Sadly no dancing. Very nice tribute to Ray Reardon, lived in Stoke for many years. He worked down the mines and also was a policeman. There is still a pub/snooker club called the Reardon in Stoke.
Absolutely enjoyed watching this Dan, i am one that looks at all the mistakes each round, there are a many, fabulous tribute to the late great Ray Reardon, met him once down here at Perranporth GC….
Dan, i love the channel. I watch all the usual big YT guns, but feel so much more connected to what you do. I loved the Ray Tribute. Perfect. I loved the honest reflection. Spot on. Keep going, Dan. ❤
Always love a Sunday Morning Show! Kokrat is Canadian born so use to cheer for him before he vanished onto LIV 😀. Flags out is great fun and yes I totally play better that way! GoPro on the cart is a great idea. Thanks for sharing the Ray stories as well. Recently had one of those rounds myself where you’re guiding it around because you don’t have a shape that day. Glad you still battled as we all expect you to. When you “retire” I see you hanging around the first tee at a course and sharing stories about it to anyone who will listen! Cheers Dan!
Have got a great picture of my dad John Spencer and Ray Reardon at Butlins after he got to play them both having won the weekly competition. Sadly all gone now.
I'm not sure what to call it but the part where Jordan popped in to mention the 4 iron lofts was brilliant. Sort of like a real time fact check/education element. Not sure if that could be incorporated more often but it added to the quality if that makes sense.
Dan, I know how it feels when you are struggling. You are right, that if nothing is hit solidly or you can’t back up your good shots, with another good shot, it becomes very frustrating. Good luck to you with getting things going the right direction.
Credit where credit is due Dan. This is a great video and RIP Ray, can remember Pot Black as a kid and he was amongst the most famous snooker players of his era. Well done Dan and thank you
Dan to help,with your nerves , take a look at some of the Steve Peters videos or books, sounds like your Chimp is taking over !! All about the conscious mind and sub conscious mind and sounds like your conscious mind is taking over. I can highly recommend singing a song or nursery rhyme in your head as you step up to take your shot or what I do is just count to ten in my head and hit my shot as I’m counting. Try it honestly it works a treat.
Reflection is so important. Important to learn from however, not to only then be disappointed in what you’re reviewing. Learn and program your brain not make the same mistakes again. Reflecting which leads to self criticism and beating yourself up only allows the gremlins to multiply and you get even more fearful, compounding the errors. Great tip about the pins out! I’m going to take that to our Junior Convenor.
Should add as well I loved your tribute to ray what an absolute legend and the world is sadder without fellas like him Always rated your game and once you become used to competing again the results results will come. Good onya mate
Dan you stabbed me good when you mentioned your age 😅😅, still feel good and my golf buddies always complain because with tech I literally haven’t loss much distance or accuracy. 60 feels very good
It’s sometimes difficult to enjoy golf when you are competing especially when you set yourself expectations that sometimes might be beyond capability. As I’ve lowered my handicap I often find I don’t enjoy competitive golf as much as I used to as I am more bothered about my handicap at times rather than actually playing golf and enjoying it 😦
Jason Kokrak is from my area near Youngstown Ohio. Saw him at the Memorial Tournament in the past. I work at Reserve Run Golf Course on mower since I retired in 2018. Thanks Dan for your videos. Watch them every week.
I’m the same after a round of golf looking at what I could have done better but great tip on centre of the green with your approach shot which I will be trying in today’s Stableford 👍another great Sunday morning vlog 👍👍👍👍
Was just chilling with some toast and coffee after watching women’s marathon at Olympics. Loved your bit on Ray Reardon as a kid his was the snooker cueing action that always looked the best. A great character. Good to see you out competing even if it didn’t go as you would have wished agree about not going flag hunting if it’s good enough for Jack Nicklaus to go for middle of green as he has often stated on Masters coverage then we should all be doing it
Nice tribute to Ray Reardon & good to hear you wanting to work on improving and getting your competitive levels back where they should be - if you need some gym progs, I may have the odd one or two ….!
Sad news about Ray Reardon, but sounds like he had a great life. I played Shooters Hill GC after your vlog, nice course and a good price thanks to you. We play our best golf when we are just chilling. It becomes a different game when we have a card in our hand and overthink everything. Keep up the good work 👏
Nice tribute to Ray Reardon, and he became an adopted Stokie, as he lived and worked up here in Stoke-on-Trent for many years. The Reardon Snooker Club I think is still going, and I believe Dave Harold started his Snooker career from it.
Wilson make some good equipment, especially their irons! Been using the D9 forged for a while now and have no plans to change. Got my handicap down to It's lowest ever and a lot of that is down to the confidence I have in striking my irons well. Love a Sunday morning show with a nice cup of fresh coffee ☕👍
Great vlog - love the Sunday Morning Show - thinking about golf and building a business, it's a struggle to work on both given the business will always be your priority - ensuring you enjoy the golf and almost treating it as a 'holiday' helped freed me up hugely and seemed to improve my scores. Anyway, your swing still looks great so maybe just 'go for it'!!
Great SMS, and great job grinding in your tournament. To shoot that score not having your best stuff and butterflies over the ball is really impressive especially with no tournament reps. I know exactly how you felt I play in some senior league games and most of the time it’s a grind. It does pay off though it seems I grind through the first nine and then play better the back or the opposite is true and sometimes doing that I win my flight. Loved the original intro music
Very interesting video Dan ,Woodhall spa is where I played for a long time up until recently,now play Belton woods ,the Hodgkin course bunkers are something every golfer should experience at some point ,especially on the par 3 holes .Nice to mention Ray Reardon truly a trail blazer for pro snooker and a real gentleman ,snookers my main sport ,unfortunately I never met Ray but his advice you mentioned of just chipping up around the greens when you can will certainly knock strokes of your round for sure .Keep up the great content .
happy birthday Jane. Enjoyed the show as always. It is horrible feeling nervous the whole way round. Something I do when playing in competitions and sometimes with new people. It has got worse as my handicap has coming down into single figures. I suspect the only way to solve this is by playing in more competitions but sadly time does not allow for that if I want equilibrium in my marriage!!!
Nice Sunday morning show. Sad when I saw Ray Reardon had died. Was always my favorite back in the Pot Black days. Talking about reflection I think Jordan needs to reflect on his moustache. 🙂
I use the umbrella holder for my camera and use the DJI Osmo 3 which has a better gimble, better lens and battery last 4 hours non stop. Check that out.
Another great video Dan, would be nice to see do a break 75 on your own or break 70 scramble with someone else. Thanks for the tips mate 👍 D. RIP Ray Reardon 🏴
Loved that Dan some really good stuff in there mate and glad you touched on iron lofts. I play traditional loft mizuno blades and get so fed up with guys saying what iron did you hit then. When I say a 5 they say well I only hit a 6 and I’m over telling them about how that is really a 4 iron. Now I just say wow you’re massive and I need to work on my power haha 😂
My grandfather was English and he loved Ray Reardon. Not much snooker in the USA. Nevertheless, I’m sure he will continue to be a legend for many more years
Hey Dan, you mentioned some time ago that you were going to see a sports psychologist and film tge sessions. I think that would make great viewing as many of us struggle with the mental side of the game.
The competition you played and your scores +4 and +2. As a PGA Professional you expected better. I get it PGA Professional the expectation from most amateurs would be level or maybe under par. But I have had the luck to watch various Professionals playing local tournaments, not Tour Pros just club pros. The normal thing they say no matter how they play is "I don't play enough or practice" I think that would fit around you Dan, you do lots of other stuff, a family so practicing is probably not important for you. If it was Paul or James who are Tour Pros scoring +4 & +2 I would have said it was either Saunton Sands or Burnham & Berrow in high winds they were playing. Don't be too hard on yourself Dan. Enjoyed the show and the first outing of the Wilson's looked promising. Adapting from a Blade with the flight and going to CB with the higher flight I reckon you did great
Dan come and play the Devon Alliance series, courses you know in a relaxed format with many friends. We are launching a new improved scoring communication for 2024/2025.
Isn't the psychology of golf really interesting. The way you felt during the West of England shows that you were conscious of the quality of field and it mattered to you how you scored. This affected your ball striking because you were thinking of the outcome instead of playing golf. I have felt like that many times in amateur events and it's really destructive. The answer? I have no idea 😢
Good morning, I feel this comment section is for opinions, about this channel, well, i personally feel the channelhas missed the whole summer, literally hardly any quality course vlogs anymore, its your thing, im just poiting out what entertains, you doing tourneys, or Bernie gurking around isnt entertaining, just my opinion, the OG guys need to be playing, difficult as Joe the pro is now doing his own thing, and Bernie is also trying, hmm, the jury is out on tht one, lovely fella but the delivery is a little school teacher telling a story, haha, best regards im still pretty ill, "C", fucker eh? cest la vie, be safe lads
Morning Fraser, sorry to hear you’re fighting the C, keep going mate. I understand your comment as I know you enjoy the course vlogs. As I have said before it’s not what it once was, still enjoy doing them but life gets in the way sometimes.
No coffee or tea for me. It’s 11:00pm here in British Columbia 🇨🇦. I’ll just sit back and enjoy the video. Cheers Dan.
What a legend he was!! Loved my cups of tea with Ray and our little deals 😂 when I was in the shop! Big loss!
Put a positive spin on it Dan. You haven’t played much, you hardly practice, you haven’t played in any tournaments but yet you still finished above almost half of the field. I’d call that a good result #glasshalffull

I used to watch Pot Black when I was a kid, it was in black and white and the commentator had to tell you what colour ball the player was hitting.
Great respectful tribute to the legend Mr Reardon 👏 I had the privilege of meeting and chatting with him in Brixham a few times Dan. True gentleman he was, RIP Ray 🙏
The return of the theme tune. Lovely
49k 🎉🎉🎉🎉 let’s share this channel about folks get to 50k
Would love to see you and Bernie on the Sunday show in the office like the early days
Thanks Dan. Very tasteful tribute to Ray Reardon. Well done.
Another great Sunday morning show, thanks Dan
It’s good to see you and Jordan back on a Sunday.

My mate was his neighbour in Stoke and used to go to play snooker at his house.
So honest and open about feelings and the psychology of his tournament. Brilliant .
Absolutely enjoyed watching this Dan, i am one that looks at all the mistakes each round, there are a many, fabulous tribute to the late great Ray Reardon, met him once down here at Perranporth GC….
Dan, i love the channel. I watch all the usual big YT guns, but feel so much more connected to what you do.
I loved the Ray Tribute. Perfect. I loved the honest reflection. Spot on.
Keep going, Dan. ❤
Thanks for sharing your inner reflections on your own game, I find it interesting that lessons learnt as a junior still echo now.
Always love a Sunday Morning Show! Kokrat is Canadian born so use to cheer for him before he vanished onto LIV 😀. Flags out is great fun and yes I totally play better that way! GoPro on the cart is a great idea. Thanks for sharing the Ray stories as well. Recently had one of those rounds myself where you’re guiding it around because you don’t have a shape that day.

Dan you summed it up completley; play to enjoy and for the pleasure.
Dan, I know how it feels when you are struggling. You are right, that if nothing is hit solidly or you can’t back up your good shots, with another good shot, it becomes very frustrating. Good luck to you with getting things going the right direction.
Credit where credit is due Dan. This is a great video and RIP Ray, can remember Pot Black as a kid and he was amongst the most famous snooker players of his era.

4 am here in Tennessee tee time at 630 hot coffee black always reflecting on my short game laughing out loud Good morning sir

I have the V6s, a bit too hard to hit for me so gone d7/d9 forged for summer. Nice to see some Wilson action 🎉

4 over & 2 over ? wish I was that bad !
There is no substitute for playing in real Competition with a card in your hand. Get into more tournaments
Good show.
Another easy episode with great content 👍
How do you get the shot tracer onto your gopro?
It’s added in editing 👍

How about stop reflecting so much and doing some blimmin tidying up, JORDAN!! LOL
Its ridiculous. One person watches me, game gone
