🔥 show simon some love like the video 👍 and share it 🎁

[@mikeg3522]

Think I’m going to try play like Simon without the gps watch or range finder. Really do think I’m going get caught up in numbers instead of feel. Geepers!!

[@GolfMates]

@@mikeg3522 you must try

[@justgogolfing515]

What would you prefer old school or new with GPS rang finders 👍

[@pauldavis18]

G'day Simon from the Central Coast in NSW. I want to write Jeepers Creepers, but you said it's spelt Geepers Creepers, s so I'll just say Crikey. Keep flying the Aussie flag high over there. I hope to get over there next year when things settle down. Also, hi to Claus, Care (? the other pro) Liam, Dave the Rave and Sky Sports Joe.

[@neilwilkinson4243]

Jeepers Greepers, what a great video! Two charismatic dickheads on the course having fun :)

[@LightningDogg]

Simon makes it happen! I get the impression he doesn't have a lot of stress on the course lol. I'm a feel player too...after every round I feel like throwing my clubs in the lake!

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely he brilliant

[@StevieMc71]

😂😂😂

[@damionjackson7978]

Geepers creepers ! what a top bloke Simon is would honestly love to have a round with him. Can’t wait to see more of the UAE content , here and the Scotland videos make me want to travel. Thanks to all the Golfmates team for keeping us entertained 👍.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you 🙏

[@raymondnottle4372]

After all those funny accents from northern England it was great to hear an easy to understand Australian drawl even if he is a cane toad. Great to watch Simon again.

[@paulgrist7604]

What a great video, you could learn more from Simon in one round of golf than any PGA pro.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@leepatterson7399]

Love the old school mindset! I currently play with some old Swilken irons from pre 2000's and have never had any issues with them

[@russellward9662]

I love to see a fellow Aussie on your channel ! And he's from Kallangur, about 60km north of me.! What a champion - old style golf at its best. Simon's strategies, attitude and skills are awesome. And finally, a quality professional golfer, who doesn't believe in upgrading his clubs every 6 months just to keep up with the latest trends. I don't own a rangefinder, and my newest club is 7yo. Thankyou, Simon, I can relate to your game. Cheers mate!

[@ianmcmillan2634]

Another grateful Aussie, top stuff.

[@jeffreyewing1168]

Simon is a natural, it’s a joy to watch him play .

[@ianmcmillan2634]

Thanks Liam and Simon, Sunshine Coast person myself, so as I said last year, lovely to hear the Aussie accent. Read a great article last year by Geoff Ogilvie, discussing how much inventiveness and imagination he had lost after 20 years on the US tour compared to when he was a pennant player on off the track courses around Victoria, Australia. Old School Golf. I do like my range finder though, shows me exactly how far I am not hitting my clubs. Thanks again.

[@GolfMates]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@vapourpete007]

Geepers creepers simons good.

[@richboshart1201]

I love Simon’s old school approach. Top bloke and a heck of a golfer.

[@jimgavin1726]

Brilliant video again. The big fella spot on, play with what you are comfortable with. I play with guys who chop and change clubs monthly! How can you possibly be consistent with so many changes. Simon is like the Oz version of the ‘big easy’, superb.

[@GolfMates]

He is you are spot on

[@williamthomas535]

Loved this video. I've been watching this channel for a long time. This is the first one, I wish it never ended. Great man Simon.

[@wallylong7127]

Loved the segment. Simon is a natural on camera and he shows that you don't need all the technology of today to play great golf.

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely true

[@guyr7351]

Spot on, once you have your set of clubs, practice and removing swing errors via lessons will gain you more than pouring money into buying equipment. Granted if you go from 20 handicap to low single figures at some stage you might want clubs that allow more shot shaping but I think many of us could use one set and go from 30 to edge of single figures

[@andyf-d4222]

Lovely to watch someone like Simon play the game. Keeps his mind completely clutter free and commits to the shot. Thoroughly nice guy.

[@mickkelly6464]

call it what you like, outstanding golf by Simon, love the way he makes it sound so easy, and welcome back to the channel, hope we meet Klaus (9 iron) and Evie too. great video Liam.

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely its all coming

[@jacka13924]

Words fail me what a great genuine bloke that’s it

[@gordonsmart4225]

Great seeing Simon on the channel again. Been looking forward to this.

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely me to

[@alanheseltine7959]

Simon is a great bloke, and what a golfer, it's great having him on the channel.

[@markmiller7058]

What a top bloke Simon is. Great video Liam, keep up the hard work mate because it’s paying off this end 👍🏻😃👏🏻⛳️

[@GolfMates]

Thank you mark

[@DrKenClifford]

Best golf instruction I’ve ever seen, and I’m 77! This is advice I’ve always thought was best - just have to relax and play. Easy to say. Hard to do!

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely teye

[@Chuckme888]

Love his personality. His main message is something I always try to follow but is hard to do, "trust your judgement and then have confidence executing it". Most people will think too much and then whimp out on the execution. Too much thinking clouds the brain and nothing gets done right. Get video as usual!

[@GolfMates]

We do that

[@ianredford8894]

Geepers Creepers. What a down to earth bloke and a great golfer. Great to get an insight on another professional. Can’t wait for more content from the UAE.

[@robertjohnson2993]

Its great to see i'm not the only one who plays "old school". I'm in my 70's, i play with 25 year old john Letters T3,s and have never considered spending a fortune to change them. I have never agreed with all these electronic gizmos, golf is a game of feel and judgement after all, i don,t recall the likes of Niklaus, Palmer and Trevino ever having to use any - and they were the worlds best.

[@GolfMates]

So i take it you love simon

[@matthewharding6245]

they did have caddies and very detailed yardage books though. I don't feel its cheating using a watch, it just speed things up.

[@matthewharding6245]

Simon is a class golfer and a natural in front of the camera. Good to have him back on the channel!

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely

[@jackbowman4788]

Liam- one of your best videos- Lots of fun with two great golf characters

[@russellmills2044]

What a terrific bloke. We need more of him. It would be interesting to see him give you a lesson and see if he can help your over the top which has been creeping back in.

[@stevebee2155]

I'm a 67 year old fun golfer, and I learn more from Liam's channel than any other, Thanks for a great video...keep em coming

[@joeperez3520]

I'm the exact opposite of Simon, which is why I was called "Inspector Gadget" back in New York. I had all three of those MP Fli-Hi, 2, 3 & 4 Iron. They matched well with my MP-60 irons.

[@andymoakes813]

great play from a natural golfer showing that whatever the club suits the player no matter how old! Well played

[@eugeneoregan3476]

Liam, you found a Gem with Simon. Tremendous Golfer with the personality to match. Great stuff.

[@martinharvey3990]

When there's markers, it's easier to find your distance. With the range finder I'll ping 2or3 places just see where the miss is as well. This guy has a great swing and a fabulous putter. Proper old skool golfer. Simple mindset. Superb.

[@davidmullard2831]

Smashing chap. Clearly very gifted and it shows equipment is no replacement for talent and experience.

[@johnbarr09]

What a breath of fresh air Simon is ☺️ proper old school golf trusting his instincts

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely thats what he is

[@tonyfarraj2077]

I love watching players like Simon. He doesn’t get bogged down with technic, just see the shot, hit the shot! Love it!!!!

[@keithburrows8719]

Wow this is how golf should be played . By natural talent .

[@ianlamont825]

Being 70 years old, Simon plays now the way I did as a young man. Of course, now I use a GPS, though not a range finder. My GPS is the kind that simply gives the front, middle and back yardages. That is enough for me. I still judge pitch shots by feel. Simon is really awesome. Hope there is a Dave vs Simon match coming up. Well done Liam.

[@RG-5834]

From a S African subscriber, Simon is a great character with a huge personality, and a top golfer. Aussies and South Africans are very similar people, have the same weather conditions, and yes many of our greens (especially in warm weather areas) use paspalum grass! I love how often he says “Crikey” a typical Aussie 😀😀! Hope to see and learn from him again! Brilliant upload Liam! By the way, I have to mention that I really miss seeing the legendary Mr Barlow on Golf Mates, hope he’s keeping well!

[@jimmywilson1388]

Simon reminds me of a guy I played with once. He shot 73 the first time he ever played the golf course… He was confident in his ability and just played the game no over thinking… Some people are just truly gifted.

[@nicholasristic1868]

Unreal, smoothest technique I’ve seen on the channel. Natural ability and knows the game like the back of his hand. Seems like a top bloke as well!

[@matts3979]

Fantastic having Simon on. What a great guy

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely he is

[@allanclaytor9558]

Simon what a player and great character to 👏👏👏

[@andy4405]

Wow... that's how golf should be played.. marvellous

[@greggarland956]

Great video and top golf to match. Who needs all of those gadgets and licorice sticks. I'm still using my Slazenger Banner Stiff Shaft Irons purchased in 1975 and recently regripped... Driver 3 Wood and 4 Wood are 20-30 year old, Putter is a Wilson Fat Shaft In AUS paspalum is a weed, yes still look after the divot. Took my Grandson out last week for a hit and he used Great Grandpa's old DRK111's and played quite OK. Looking forward to many more trips to golf. with Coops. Thanks for the Video, always having fun reminds me of our early days playing at Fox Hills Sydney Nothing wrong with old school, the way Simon plays he doesn't need a calculator or abacus to add up his score. Cheers😁

[@davidwhittington9498]

Wow that was a true outright lesson 👏 they guy knows his golf . Brilliant Liam

[@davehughes3894]

What a guy!! I could watch and listen to him all day Great video Full marks Liam👏👏

[@Digital_Photog1995]

Thanks for sharing this video! Playing with older clubs that are not fitted. Great!! Cheers

[@dpmiam]

Very entertaining to watch Simon go beast mode using no rangefinder and using older clubs enjoying a relaxing round of golf. I hope to see more content with Simon. I really enjoy and greatly appreciate your content Liam. Thank you for all your hard work managing the channel and sacrifices you make to travel abroad away from your family to produce Golfmates videos!. Your channel content has helped me go from a +100 to an 11 handicap in 1-1/2 yrs. Kind regards, Chris from Virginia

[@stephenesser5375]

Simon is the real deal, what a refreshing change

[@DFowlesVWID7Tourer]

Great to see someone trusting their game and knowledge of the feel for the shot

[@andyh6017]

This should be on prescription !!! Bloody wonderful.

[@willywedges4434]

Amazing. I got into not using anything digital on the course purely to escape work and be connected a bit more with the course itself. Even my watch is an old 1960s Vietnam windup watch. It's incredible and pure relaxation.

[@scottankers6690]

I had the same putter decades ago. Simon makes it work better than I did...awesome!

[@GolfMates]

He dose

[@timmitchell802]

Geepers. Great video. Loved as always but loved watching Simon play and listening to his conversation.

[@MARTINDOWDS]

Love the video. still playing same clubs since 1998. Ping B60 BeCu putter, which i soak in coke overnight once a fortnight. brings any Becu club up like new. still not using a range finder. so many cards at clubs have distances on the hole map and i also use Lee Westwoods idea of wringting my true distance for each club on the club. its all well and good using Simulators but you never get true distances. Simon is excellent at breaking down the mind management of how to play golf. far too many golfers overthink shots/holes. see the shot in your mind and commit to it. excellent content Liam. love the trips to UAE.

[@philgoss165]

Fantastic to watch what a character and a great golfer 👌👌

[@Geoff_1975]

Oh. My. God!! How the hell does he do that?!?! Told you what he was going do and then just did it. Top bloke and top player. Knows his clubs, knows his distances(in his bloody head without GPS or rangefinder) and clearly loves playing more than chasing the new clubs, devices etc. I enjoy watching the old vids but great to have the regular content back Liam!

[@robertakasupermanrinder9819]

Great video 📹............ We all can learn from the approach Simon has...

[@Tonychestnutz]

Brilliant just how Golf was meant to be played, simple trust in your eye & forget everything else, having said that the Pros would be out of business if all the Gismos & Gimmicks were taken away, but Golf would be a lot cheaper for the player like it used to be when I started playing in the late 50's. I am sure OMP would agree...thank you

[@michaeltildesley537]

Great golf, great instruction and a thoroughly nice bloke.

[@kevinpinder9372]

What a great player and bloke , love his attitude 👍

[@richardbell9656]

Simon is so consistent and knows his game inside out. All this modern range finder gizmo stuff would be wasted on him. Cool dude to play golf with. Excellent golf !!!

I play by sight and feel too. Always have. Refreshing to see. Top man Simon!

Thank you

[@stevenwoods5627]

Another great video. Love the old school method of pacing out from the yardage markers, proper Golf. I've played for years with a ping Anser putter in the Bag, Best ever. Keep up the good work.

Simon's a gem. Thanks Liam...

[@dylanharrington744]

I m with Simon, I've never used a Distance Finder and i still have my Ping Anser too! Never stopped using it although it's tricky on Long Putts on Slower Greens.

[@franklinniesterjr3812]

In the U.S. its JEEPERS CREEPERS. But LOVED the video. Its so good to see someone OLD SKOOL. I too do not use electronis nor has any of my clubs been fitted, but ive never had a lesson. 58 years old and have a 10 handicap.

Great to see a fellow Queenslander on the channel cheers Scott

[@guyhall6592]

Simon, I use the exact same putter, I did regrip it with a new Winn midsize. I’ve made more putts with this putter than any other. I agree, it sits sharp, looks sharp. I do hit it with Bar Keepers Friend and it shinnys real or earth like 👍 GOD Bless mates!!! 🙏🏻😎🙏🏻

Looks like it

[@murraymchardy4984]

Geepers Creepers, another great video Liam, what a natural golfer Simon is, agree with him, use your eyes, don’t need all these GPS etc. I play with a mate who has newly downloaded the courses onto his phone, buy the time he takes his phone out of his bag and checks distances on nearly every shot, it’s taking around 30 minutes longer to get round!

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@montysraddish5883]

Nice to see Simon again, enjoyed the videos you did last year with him!

[@TWTexasA1]

Simon reminds me so much of my uncle who was the same build, tall and healthy. But I’ll never forget my uncle who was a scratch golfer and this was about 1972 took me out to a par 3 course to watch me try to hit a ball for the first time on a course…and I’m sure he was dreading it the whole time…😂😂😂, but I was in awe watching that man play golf and I’ll never forget it…✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Love watching feel players. We are so obsessed with numbers but a knock down 7 iron under the wind might be the best feel shot. Love it.
