Just watching you play, I think you would do better to ditch the hybrid, you are striking your irons really well most of the time.
Wet sand bunker shots are the bane of my existence. Arrgghhhh!!! Heck, those conditions, bunkers everywhere and much faster greens than you are used to, 105 isn't bad at all. Hate to think what I would score if I hit that many bunkers. Fortunately I am a lot straighter than you, if a bit shorter, so I can usually avoid bunkers, dropping into the green side beaches on long approach shots.
Enjoyed this one a lot. Carry on.
Firstly, those Geese on 16 were so brave as you lined up the GW 😂 I couldnt stop laughing thinking what happens if Dennis power shanks this into a poor birds arse LOL. Loads of good tee shots on this round. Keep going and smiling 👊
That course was frightening! I thought you would shoot 110. You played much better on the back nine. The tips will be crazy!
At least you will have some course knowledge for that.
Good luck and can't wait to watch that one. I think you will beat 110.
Ball striking is getting better, your scores will come down. Keep after it friend.
Definitely factor in how much harder the course is 😂 sounded a little hard on yourself at times. Great practice for tourney. On bunker shots what worked for me was thinking about entry and ‘exit’ of the sand, so open face ball entry a couple ball lengths before then exit out of sand a bit after the ball (seems to work nicely for me but by all means this is not advice from credible source). Keep at it
Tough course and on top of that rain is tough for us high handicap golfers but love the commitment
Absolute trooper. The rain just zaps your energy. Soft conditions are tough on a steep swing.
I know from experiance. it just robs your distance because the ball will roll up the face instead of exploding off of it.
Guys that can sweep the ball have an advantage in wet conditions.
That course was long. You did an admirable job. The ball striking is there.
Later in the round those divits were starting to shallow out. That's proof.
Play your game. That's what we're here for.
Best of luck in the match.
Finally a you tube golfer that we can relate too 😂, keep positive 👍
Good luck on the 11th. Plenty of positives from that round despite the scoring. You never seem to let your head drop and thats one of the most important things.
Got to add that you and "Not a Perfect Golfer" are my two favourite amateur vloggers as you both have a fantastic attitude to your game that many of us (this old git included) can learn from.
Having played that course earlier this year I feel your pain! You look a little steep on your wedges/bunker shots, that’s why you keep fatting/duffing. Would put less weight on your less and make a shallower swing, try to slice under the ball at speed, helped me with my bunker shots no end. But it’s a tough old course, respect for the positive mental attitude!
Great content as always. As an ex PGA golf pro i would highly recommend a course of lessons with your local PGA golf pro to improve your game in the long run. Just a couple of changes and some constructive practice and you will be breaking 80. Top channel and top work.
Love the video as always. It's proper relatable golf!
Just watched the bit where you're talking about all the bunkers and how if you don't hit GIR it's impossible to go low there… I've been working on "sensible golf" a lot recently which is all about avoiding the situations that cause the doubles and triples. If you're not confident of hitting the green and there's trouble around it, club down so you know you'll come up short to give you a nice easy chip which you might be able to put close.
Good luck with the break 95 series, break 90 here we come.
Really enjoyed you leading us through this challenging but beautiful course. The image of you in that massive bunker at the 3rd hole was hilarious, you looked tiny 😅. Btw: you play better golf than you sing 😉
Great video as always! Love the drone footage of each hole that you've been doing, beautiful course. I love that youre consistent positivity. Im fairly new, lucky if I can make a double bogey, but I always try to stay positive. Whether rain or shine, birdies or bogeys you are always smiling! Great commentary while you play, too. I enjoy explaining why youre taking certain shots and which club youre using. 🙂
playing in the rain is going to add 10 strokes minimum at least for me. i had the opposite problem sunday. we were under a heat advisory. i started at 8 am. it wasnt supposed to break 85 degrees F until noon but it was well over 93F by 10:30. i was done after 14 holes
I know you like to carry but have you considered experimenting for the comp by getting the clubs off your shoulder/back? Trolley or third party to carry, if you could save even 2/3 shots minimum, it could make or break when it comes to final placings?
I love your videos and you are probably a better golfer than me, but it really looks like you need to quit being cute with your shots in bunkers. Open up the clubface and slap the sand behind the ball at good speed and accelerate through it. Bunker shots should be sent to the moon and back down, not barely rolling out onto the fringe/green on the occasion you do get it out.
Bringing long into play is generally much better than potentially another bunker shot
Great attitude as always despite some struggles around the greens! And a beautiful course. Not a bad round given conditions and difficulty!
Unlucky mate. On the long bunker shots add some more speed, hinge the wrist and feel like your skimming the sand. Not burying it into the sand. Don’t be scared to add plenty of speed mate.
The Menace!!..First of all the first bunker you were in WTF! I think I would have ended up kipping in there overnight before I got it out. You're driving was impressive and you finished off most holes well as 2-5 footers never easy, and that lovely chip on the 7th was worth the entrance fee alone. Well done buddy, really enjoyed the vid, look forward to your next one. 👍😊
What golf app u using ??
love the content. I need to see you hitting the big stick mannnnn. get yourself down there
Nice one Dennis. Those first bunker shots were so relatable 😆
the hardest course I ever played at was the Royal Dornoch golf club in Dornoch Scotland! I shot a 93 and I normally shoot in the low 80's was a great experience playing over the pond!
You’ve got a great attitude and your swing is actually pretty good for a beginner. I don’t know if your editing some of your puts on the green, but try and take an extra 15-20 seconds over each putt and do some practice swings visualizing the ball going in the hole. It helps me a lot. Looking forward watching your progress
Im a new sub so dont know but did you just get put with 3 randomers? they seemed a bit miserable compared to your enthusiasm and smiles.
Great video Dennis, I seem to be watching them all now and I commend your cheerfulness! Far too much sand on that course for my liking , a bit too penalising really on a difficult course anyway!
Yep, that's inspired me to get out tomorrow morning and have another round. Nothing for it but to keep practicing and keep working at it. This stuff makes me feel human. I'm juuuuuuust starting to break 100 every now and then. Want to aim for breaking 95 on the regular.
