CAN A 28 HANDICAP GOLFER USE BLADE IRONS? ✅ YES HE CAN!

[@GolfMates]

i think joe did absolutely brilliant what do you think golfmates

[@cookie4205]

The boy became a man today. I’d like to see his journey

[@andewlea3772]

Well great video camera work bit suspect , welcome Joe to infront of the camera nice to hear you speak more and see you play . You could take liam on with that performance, not your clubs blades first round great shooting bring Joe on show his journey. If he enjoyed your clubs and the length you need to get him a fitting as this can only improve his game . Keep safe and well golfmates

[@thecringegolfer]

Yes! Did pretty good!

[@Flexy19791]

Did Joe stick 3 of ste's cards in to get 28 handicap ,what a swing

[@kevinpower686]

Joe did very well especially considering they weren't his clubs 😁

[@wareidav]

Liam... The support you give is infectious... How could Joe not do well with you giving him all the confidence a 28 handicapper could ever want. We need to see Joe`s handicap journey on the channel 👍

[@joeperez3520]

OMP may have a challenger for the title of "Chorlton Bandit." Who's the head of the handicap committee, Mr. Magoo???

[@matthewpocock4824]

As soon as he took his first practice swing, I said to myself "This guy is not a 28 handicapper".

[@paulbentleymusic]

Top lad Joe!! We defo wanna see more of him Liam. Be great to see how he progresses with his handicap. I think you need to have a work with Alex at Orka and get him fitted. That would be a good fitting session to watch.

[@bobreidy8665]

Yes Joe, well played. The pressure of being on the other side of the camera and using blades. Great effort

[@andyf-d4222]

Top man, Joe. I've seen 7 hcpers embarrass themselves more than that😜

[@peteearles1937]

Fair play to joe. Held his hands up about his last time in front of camera and being a cocky get !! 😂. Really well done. He’s played as well as anyone on the channel AND he’s the king of the camera 🎥

[@videowatcher2706]

Wasn’t cocky at all, just joined in the same humour as everyone else on the channel. If josh made the same jokes you’d be howling, don’t understand the hate for joe

[@GeoffD77]

@@videowatcher2706 Couldn't agree more. I was amazed by all the negative comments on that video, really out of order. Joe wasn't arrogant, he was having a laugh and joining in the banter. Maybe some people don't understand Northern humour!!!

[@videowatcher2706]

MosGef77 thank god I’m not the only one. Every person on this channel ribs eachother and it’s all applauded in the comments, joe did the same and people said he was cocky. Baffled me

[@GeoffD77]

@@videowatcher2706 Yep! He's only a young lad too, people should cut him some slack. As I said, think some people were really out of order on that video. Even if people did think he came across cocky (I didn't), sure all of us have been pretty cocky at some stage in our lives!

[@an-N-and-an-E-and-a-Wubble-U-C]

He wasnt cocky??? - Liam mentioned a few times in that video how cocky he was being and jokingly threatened to punch him - I'm amazed more wasnt made of him kicking the golf ball at the end - he obviously shit himself how close it went to hitting Liam - the difference in Joe in this video and the other one is like night and day

[@benfeely4779]

Credit to that Liam! And Joe! Very humble in this video think he’s probably been around of good guys to learn from. All the best moving forward

[@williamhallard4787]

When EVERY new golfer started ( now of a certain age ) all we had were blades to choose from.

[@Lancer_0010]

That’s what I’m saying. People today treat it as a waste of time/strongly tell people not to do it, but it really wasn’t all that long ago that that’s what you had. I got a good deal on titlest blades from Japan and fully intend on becoming better with them

[@garydolan7256]

Well done Joe pal. Im a 26 HCP, i have only been playing proper since the start of lockdown. i have came down 5 shots already mate. Keep it up and your HCP will come down rapid! Great vid once again lads!

[@robmccoll1160]

Well done Joe, don't worry about people calling you a bandit Golfmates are not like that, We all started off with high handicap it is how much work you put into it that determines where you end up. I think as part of the Golfmates family your love for the game has ignited and you want to be part of it. Liam please can we follow Joe's journey and yes a 5 hole match with Josh would be good

[@oscarrowley9504]

I’ll tell you what, there’s a player inside joe, a serious player! Class that was with blades mate!

[@davidsewell9071]

A great few holes of golf. The standard of play on camera reflects the hard work and helpful advice true golf mates provide. I for one would love to see the type of practice Joe is doing.

[@robertrichard9460]

No way you are a 28 HC Joe! You have a beautiful swing! You got game!⛳️

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@NickyLong89]

Class that was Joe. Ignore the haters, they call it cocky, I call it confidence. Gotta give the banter out mate! 99% of people support you so don’t let a few comments get to you. Good luck with your golf, coming on nicely. Hopefully see you in Portugal in January 👌🏻

[@alanbrown9754]

Well done Joe. Brill encouragement Liam.

[@tomlee812]

I'm a (poor) 18 handicapper and I'd be very happy to play like that. Well done Joe. We'd love to see more of your journey.

Well done skysports Joe, your hitting very good, let's see some more. 🤓👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@loffy742]

1. Everyone is (or should be) cocky at Joe's age. 2. Killer swing. So smooth and easy. 3. Playing time/practice time equals better consistency and lower scores. 4. You are a bandit!!!

[@vdubber252k]

Well done Joe you played well, I'm not keen on the pressure of having a group watch me tee off when being let through so can only imagine having a camera pointed at you is a lot worse! Be interesting to see you play as your handicap drops too.

[@GolfMates]

It will

[@npro7431]

Well Done Joe - I am not a great golfer - 20-ish Hdcp - and some of my playing partners were chirping about me getting "too bladed clubs" and I love them. I hit them well and they quickly quieted down after a round or two. Love what you swing is what matters. Looks like Orka might have sponsored the wrong GolfMat

[@jamesmatthews2224]

Class by Joe, can tell the difference in the camera work mind 😂

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely I agree

[@andysmith9836]

Great show Joe, a 28 handicapper striking the ball like that & scoring like that will be playing off 18 in no time. Who said you where cocky??? Your a cracking lad with a bit of golfing talent starting to shine through & would love to see a regular update & see your handicap tumble.

[@jakemackenzie7361]

Joe has totally upgraded the quality of this channel. His done a massive job. Loud shoutout from Spain.

Get golf Joe at any standard with new clubs, especially blades, I do thing Liams positive attitude to golf and the importance of just enjoying it is infectious, works for me mate

[@jordanrossall17]

think you need to submit some score cards pal! played some class shots. As for Liam think he needs to hire a new cameraman so joe can play more on the channel!

[@GolfMates]

Lol I agree

[@09Youba]

Joe you played very well and I think with practice you will lower you HC 15 in a very short time if you get to practice and play. Liam great camera work and kudos to you for encouraging Joe to play well. Yes, I would like to see Joe's journey to lowering his HC. I hope Joe will get fitted for a set of Orka clubs.

[@richardharris5083]

He's got a nice swing for a 28 handicap .

[@andrewc153]

I actually came across the 31 handicap video with Joe earlier today and honestly was a bit hesitant to see how I'd feel about this one. Let's just say the comments on the past video of him weren't the kindest but I thought by the end of this video that he was a humbled stand up guy. Can't judge a book by it's cover. Good on you mate! Cheers from the US!

[@MrAdamBez]

No way he’s a 28 handicap 🤣 I’m 29hc and nowhere near that good! Nice one joe, keep it up 👍🏼

He is

[@somethingwentwrong3298]

I'm a high handicapper. I have some blades that were 2nd hand in the 80s. The heads are heavy and If you hit them in the sweet spot they go well, if you don't they make your hands hurt.

For a 28 handicapper to put themselves out here and basically play to about 18 handicap, that’s brilliant. And don’t worry about what people say Joe, you’ve been a brilliant addition to this channel and the more personality the better. More joe content please! Maybe Dave could do some lessons and Alex can sort some bats?

NO double bogies , GREAT backswing , PLAYING with blades , a few putting lessons and he could have parred the lot . Easily be sub 20 by end of this season . Well done Joe . Keep vlogs going , in front or behind camera 📸 . Great stuff
