    Can we break 85? - EVERY SHOT IN 19 MINUTES
    A round of summer golf at Prestatyn golf club in North Wales. It's a par 72 championship links course that was founded in 1905.
    The green fees were £25 for 18 holes after 3pm in June 2022.
    I'm James, a golfer with a dodgy swing now playing off an 13 handicap. I had taken 4 golf lessons to improve my swing on the day of play.
    I'm looking to continuously break 90 on the courses I play. Even if I don't shoot a good score I always enjoy strolling around the fairways of North Wales, UK :-)

    Mate, you’re such an inspiration. I’m relatively new to the game, and I’m documenting my game, and mainly struggles on my TH-cam channel, but I love watching your videos so much. They give me hope that I can one day get as low as you, even if that seems extremely far away at the moment. Well done on your progress, and keep the videos coming. Love watching them 👍🏻

      You can do it! Notice how he doesn't hit a long way, but goes for accuracy first. Learn to pitch, chip, and putt and you'll be shooting mid 80s before you know it. Good luck.

    Irons looking great, my friend. Been thinking about you a lot when on the course. Broke 100 for the first time in 5 years this week on a tough course and had a few shots that made me think about your videos. Cheers. I appreciate the inspiration.

    Well James, I finally broke down and played some actual golf 3 days ago. First time in about 4-5 years. I've mentioned before how terrible I am.
    My goal was to shoot triple bogey or better on each of the 9 holes I played. I didn't come anywhere close to that goal, shooting several quadruple and quintuple bogies.
    But, somehow I did manage to actually get a par on the very last hole, which was insane. I even got on the green in 2 and had a birdie putt (albeit VERY long).
    Anyway, as expected I did terrible, but it was an experience nonetheless.
    Looking forward to watching you do much better in this video.
    FYI, my score was 60 on 9 holes, and par was 36, so I was 24 over par on 9 holes. Yeah, I REALLY suck at golf.

    • @joshuaburba1048
      @joshuaburba1048 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@rangerofthenorth2850 Normally I would agree with you, but I used to play a LOT more golf when I was younger, and I've actually gotten worse at golf as time has gone on, not better.
      I used to be able to shoot in the 80's (on 18 holes, par 72 course), now I couldn't shoot under 100.
      So, while I'm not trying to be argumentative, at least in golf I have found myself progressively getting worse as time has gone on.
      In all other sports, yes I have improved over time, but golf is in a different category (or as James would say, "Golf is a funny old game").
      Thanks for the comment.

    Well done James,what a fantastic round!your ball striking has really improved really consistent finding the fairway a lot which helps your approach play.what a pity about the 18th.I find myself rooting for you and those missed putts or when you maybe over hit a putt I’m thinking oh no!almost as if I am playing the round with you.It’s a great watch and I think a lot of your subscribers feel the same way.thanks for taking the time and effort putting these videos up.again well done.

    Wow very nice indeed! Enjoyed watching it as much as it seems you enjoyed playing. Good drives, good iron approach shots, very nice chipping, and you adjusted to the pace of the greens. It's amazing the synchronicity of playing well and enjoying yourself. Staying in that moment and keeping it going is the key. Keep it going mate!

  • @PadsDad
    @PadsDad ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice round, very well played around Prestatyn. I’ve been lucky enough to play there a few times on golf trips and know how difficult it can be - not an easy track. Good to see they have tidied up the rough as it’s quite tight especially on the home run down the railway line. I’m there again May 2023 and I’m hoping I can channel your round. Great to watch a relatable golfer play a course I know. Will definitely keep an eye out for your videos 👍🏻

    • @NeisNo1Fan
      @NeisNo1Fan 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think he plays from yellow tees - which in the UK is usually between the forward and back tees. And playing off 13 is a little cheeky to still be playing from those tees. IMHO, the lower your hdcp, the further back you should be playing otherwise you're not really playing the course designed for your ability.

    I have watched your game improve. I would recommend that you take the flag out on putts under 15 feet to improve your chances of holing out. Also find a practice putting green and work on your distance control ask I feel this is an area where you are struggling. Keep up the good work.

    So James one thing I’m confused about is you said the yardage that we see includes the roll out but on hole 5 you had 174 and hit it 160 but you were only like 3 feet short so you only include rollout on drives?

  • @joegomez5807
