It was good fun! Shame we couldn’t get more birdies on the front 9 🙈

Welcome aboard! Thanks for the comment, happy you enjoyed it 🙌 it’s worth a round, nice course that can test you and doesn’t take ages to play. Also, flat which is nice too 😁

Glad you enjoyed the content, thanks for the comment, much appreciated 🙏 you should give it a go on a nice day 😁

Thanks for the comment, appreciate it 🙌 1 under is pretty decent! I quite like it there, the holes are a bit on top of each other but I like how quick it is to get round and although on paper it’s short, it’s definitely a test especially those 2 long par 3s!

Thank you 🙏 really appreciated the support! It’s not been easy building the channel over the past few years. Takes a lot of dedication and commitment. The back nine is 34.2 with 122 I believe. Not the hardest but a nice track to film occasionally

Thanks 🙏 I try to give every putt a go, even if that leaves me with a testy one coming back haha 😂

Thanks 🙏 I use Shot Tracer Pro on my MacBook. I actually made a video on it if you are interested I Spent 30 Days Mastering Shot Tracer Pro and Here's What Happened kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWOcZZ2qe5mmi80

@@alexwhittlegolf Aweesome! Tysm

2 is actually my index, so theoretically around this course off the yellow tees my handicap is scratch. Admittedly not the hardest course but one that was easier to film at

Thank you 🙏 appreciate the support

They certainly are, some you could probably go for but most aren’t worth it if you are trying to to out a score together

@ You’re clearly a good player but I think you should try a proper golf course for the next video.

Appreciate the feedback, my more recent videos I have started to do just that 👍

Yeh I know, miss those too. Soon it’ll be back around though. Just have to get through the frozen greens first haha

@ yeah never fun flushing an iron in to the first and it looks like it could’ve ended up on the second fairway in one bounce 😂

Theoretically from the yellow tees my handicap was actually scratch as my index is 2

Yeh it is a lot of dedication and commitment and sometimes I do often ask the deeper questions of why but at the end of the day I do actually love the process and journey of trying to improve

Haha yes, I have never taken that line before but with the tees forward and playing a scramble, that was the play! Super fun to give it a go and it work out perfectly!

That’s good if you have decent putting, probably the most important aspect as you get better

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The Aliss is a great course-definitely a solid choice, even if the weather’s not on your side. Hopefully next time it’ll be a bit warmer for you!

@ quick to pop round too. I was surprised how good it was tbh. Will definitely return in 2025. 👍🏻

Moors Valley in Dorset

Haha, not always about the length!

Thanks for the feedback! Guess I’ll just have to keep grinding and prove you wrong, one ugly putt at a time. 😜 Appreciate the comment though!

That’s awesome progress-huge respect for getting down to a 3 handicap! I totally agree, keeping it controlled and in play off the tee is way more reliable than chasing distance. Sounds like Kieron taught you some solid fundamentals! He's a good friend of mine and I have also had some great lessons with him! We are doing a video soon so keep your eyes peeled for that! Consistent practice definitely pays off, and your short game must be on point. Keep it up!

@ yes I’ve said when he comes to our track I want to play with him. I’d happily join if you have space. He’s owed me a round for over a year, but for various reasons struggled to get the time. Kids eh 😂⛳️

Haha fun but not always best for scoring

Appreciate your honesty! I totally understand where you're coming from, it wasn't the most planned out video and I’ll definitely think about mixing things up for future videos. Thanks for the feedback!

Good point! I usually play from the tees that suit the course for the day, but I’ll definitely consider stepping up to the blues for a bit more challenge next time. Appreciate the suggestion!

Normally when I am not filming I will take my time over the putts more and line up from both sides. I also use plumb bob quite regularly. But funnily enough you are spot on with that being my worst distance for putts holed.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely consider keeping it more natural for future videos. Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts!

Haha yes that sounds like a fun challenge. I used to live down in Cornwall on a links course, so I have experienced some crazy conditions in the winter there. Fun every now and then but draining when playing regularly.

It is still fun to play :)

They certainly will, level pars across all the par 3's I would bite your hand off for!

Thanks so much for the feedback and kind words! You’re right about the lag putting-definitely something I’ll be working on. Appreciate the encouragement, and yeah, those longer courses would definitely be a different challenge! Cheers!

Wow, thank you for sharing that! I’m really sorry to hear about the accident, but it’s great to see you still have that passion for the game. It’s awesome to hear your irons were so strong-definitely sounds like you had a great all-around game. Hopefully, you’ll get back out there soon and rediscover that magic on the greens!

@@alexwhittlegolf Thanks Buddy. Have a great New Year.

That's awesome! It looks like they've really put some work into the greens recently-they were in great shape when I played. If you get the chance to head back, I think you'll be impressed with the improvements!

Haha, love it! We've all been there

The music is from epidemic sound, which you have to pay a monthly amount to. So if you are signed up to them, then no problem at all

Absolutely agree-such a fun hole! If you can hit two solid shots, it definitely sets you up for a great chance at eagle. One of my favorites on the course for sure! ⛳️🦅

@ 16th is another beauty. 2 monster shots and a chance (with a tailwind) 😂⛳️

Cheers :)

hanks for noticing! Keeping it straight definitely helps avoid trouble, especially on tighter courses. I agree-sometimes trying to shape shots too much can lead to unnecessary mistakes. Straight and steady works for me (most of the time)!

Appreciate that! It felt as good as it sounded-one of those drives you just know is going to be solid as soon as you hit it. Glad you noticed!

Thanks so much! Highcliffe is such a great course-really rewards smart play but still lets you take risks when you’re feeling confident. Glad you enjoyed the video, and it’s awesome to hear from a fellow golfer who appreciates the strategy side of the game!

@alexwhittlegolf when is the back 9 video coming out? Will be great to see what you do on it.

That’s awesome! You’re so close-it’s definitely worth a visit. The greens are in great shape right now, and the course overall is a fun challenge. Let me know what you think if you get up there!

Sounds like a plan, I’m down. Where we thinking?

@ Remedy welcome any time, but on fairway mats so probs April on. Broadstone? Ferndown? Moors? I can sort most places. 👊🏻

Oh nice! Nice having somewhere you can walk to! Some of the par 3s are ridiculous but nice flat walk and quick to get around

Wow, that’s a huge compliment-thank you! Graham DeLaet had such a smooth swing and was an absolute ball-striker. Hopefully, I can avoid the putting woes and keep improving all around. Really appreciate the encouragement!

Great feedback, and you're absolutely right! I do tend to rely on hitting it straight, but working on shaping shots is definitely something I need to practice more. While a lot of these holes were pretty straight, there were definitely a few where being able to work the ball would’ve helped.

Hahaha!

Good eye! The fairways were definitely a bit rough in spots-probably due to the challenging weather at the time. The greens, though, were in amazing shape and made up for it!

Thank You!
