Gold before it even starts. i always press like before watching:)

[@MarkCrossfield]

Thanks Morten :)

[@Christian-nm2je]

+morten lothe Me too.

[@lagwagon501]

+morten lothe Same :P

[@Magix15]

Fantastic education and entertainment! Winter is tolerable at work with these getaways. Thanks guys!

[@MarkCrossfield]

Thanks for watching

[@vleeflo1]

I appreciate you going through the entire drop procedure. Thank you.

[@johnbythejordan6966]

+Coach Lockey Great stuff Coach, can always count on your short game and putting !!! #LockeyArmy

[@IZRRL]

+Coach Lockey I got something I think you should try that might help you with those tee shots. It helped me at least, also seems to have given me a little extra club head speed - which you dont need. i'd mention where I saw this tip but I don't want to advertise for another KZbin Golf Pro on Mark's Channel. Put together about 10 old irons that you wouldn't care if they ended up getting scratched or breaking. Now go somewhere where there is about 70 yards of grass and where you don't have anybody watching cause you're gonna look like a crazy man. Now grab an iron , swing the club as usual, but instead of going all the way through you're follow through. Release the club and let it fly(try to calculate the release to where the club goes forwards not straight up in the air and don't use youre wrist to try to manipulate the direction of the club). The object of this is to try to toss the club as straight as possible. (not as easy as i thought). Do this until you can visualize what it feels like, and what you're body/arms are doing to toss the clubs straight. Now go hit some balls and try and recreate that feeling of tossing the clubs straight, without actually releasing the club of course. I try to carry this feeling over to my Driver, 3 wood, and in-breds(hibryds) and it works for me. Kind of laughable me trying to give you a pointer, and this might not even be the fix lol, but why not try it, at worst you'll have a little fun tossing clubs 60 yards.

[@GolfGeek]

The Banta is through the roof love it 😃

[@DaveyHeat1]

Absolute nutters! Minerals in the metal interacting with the grass.... Wow. Legends! Great stuff. Thanks again Mark, Matt and Raymondos!!! Liked of course.

[@joebonelle7276]

the greens look amazing

[@andym28]

Lockey making all kinds of gains. All kinds.

[@TheBigwillistyle]

Perhaps it was just my mood, but I could not stop laughing about Mark's demonstration of the divot replacing on the first hole. The minerals from the iron...WTF?! LMAO!

[@MarkCrossfield]

:)

[@djfoxyt3543]

Wow my old local course Miss this beautiful place

[@josephmills1299]

"The Minerals in the metal just reacts with the grass".....absolute GOLD. Hahaha

[@Fixed-ze9rw]

Priceless

[@hernon07]

I love how you went through with the ruling mark very helpful

[@chriskay6414]

Love the videos always fun watching others play while learning all the rules Thanks Mark

[@Jonsse]

Cool drop lesson there. Was nice for us sunday golfers.

[@warrencalvo80]

I don't need to see anymore after marks trick shot with the tee!😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏻

[@brookie1950]

For a moment I thought I was listening to Monty Don,the fusion of Boron and Bermuda brings a whole new concept to golf ,other than that Mark thy be liking them clubs

[@boratpausenot26]

Rory's striking it super well! Give him a putting lesson mark!

[@Toshinatrix]

love these videos,

[@kevdavison8058]

just booked a three day break at this course,buzzing

[@Ryanmc1302]

Mark, can you help me with a ruling? If you play it into a yellow staked area and the nearest point of relief is G.U.R, how white are lockeys legs?

[@jalanhart]

dont need nearest point with yellow stakes...take the point of entry and the flag on a line and go back as far as you want.

[@tobypalmer8606]

+Jalan Hart didn't quite get it mate

[@jordo5158]

hands down the most entertaining golf channel! keep it up guys :)

[@debeleke]

Interesting stuff about the rules, around min. 23. Always a good lesson in there

[@fredericolima9710]

It is a Lovely Course

[@davidmanuele6586]

Mark next season you have to make it out to Nova Scotia to play at Cabot links and Cabot cliffs. You would love it.

[@guitarguru160]

Love these vlogs!

[@mattdan1074]

[@ajmobeel]

[@Devi8or]

Yessss pleeeaaaaseeee

[@IZRRL]

[@georgeclarke8137]

Rory humming the intro to the Monkees television show.

[@sophiemann8210]

I played there a week after you, nice course

[@sophiemann8210]

Tavira is a nice place too!

[@88dirtdigger]

Matthew "he's a lonely boy..." Lockey...what happened to your G30 driver...? I've got the LS with an upgraded shaft and I have not found anything better.. My season here in NY, USA is over so I am looking forward to video's from you guys to get me thru the winter months ahead..

[@Bigv536]

"We're only playing as mates"....."but I really want Rory to scuff his ball up on the path" 😂

[@splintair]

Trickmyshot! I laughed so hard!

[@deanearle7492]

Mark can we get a what's in the bag with Rory!!!!

[@thelukos]

Great vid as always. What rangefinder do you use please Mark? Can you recommend a budget one?

[@stevebrookes7971]

What a great looking course! But six and half minutes to finish teeing off on the first hole...come on chaps! ;-)

[@jackneill2711]

Hi mark looking to buy some new wedges and was wondering what you use and recommend. Love the vids!

[@DougPGA]

"Sometimes It's the minerals in the metal just react with the grass." hahahahaha

[@GT-1902]

Sick lookin' pair of white kicks, Mark! What are they???

[@joaopedrobaptista1402]

I use to paly there... there is no chance, you have to be good!

[@grahamstreek8790]

surprised Rory went with a 4 iron up the hill out of that light rough I would have thought a rinkydink was the club.

[@TheBobjenks]

hi Mark, you ever thought about doing a video about Moe Norman? would be good to hear your thoughts on him

[@konartis8108]

why? there is plenty out there on him already.

[@TheBobjenks]

+konartis8108 oh Mark has done a video on him? couldn't find the video

[@xITommxD]

Crossfield should start a gardening channel haha

[@imallfordabulls]

It's a lovely plant. Full of lovely colors. Harvest my tomato.

[@ashe-b4808]

Ha you should make a compilation of #DivotPolice moments, priceless : )

[@sudman6251]

"The minerals in the metal react to the grass..." ;-)

[@jamierudge6247]

do a what's in the bag with the coach

[@UncleVoodoo]

25:38 when playing with my buds, the ruling we use in a situation like that would be to just have Rory just donate his ball to me then I'd kick him in the ding ding and we'd call it even.

[@taylorfleury921]

when are you going to review the new mizuno jpx ez 2016 driver?

[@Christian-nm2je]

The rigamarole is heavy with this one.

[@markhunneman2224]

Nearest point of relief, does that not need the club of intended play to determine? Then use any club to measure one club length?

[@Leftienige]

+Mark Hunnevang Hello Mark the rule-book does NOT specify which club must be used, it just says "clublengths" ( either 1 or 2 depending on the circumstances ) Cheers , Nige .

[@tomasfornstedt3180]

When you tee off using an iron, why do you guys hack a mark in the ground first? Gives you more spin?

[@steverichardson7748]

gives you a little Launch pad instead of using a tee.

[@station2499]

do you guys really use yards in your golf over in Europe? or meters? if yards, is golf the only thing in your lives that you use yards to measure? tnx.

[@philipkeegan4459]

# can you get shorts like those in men's shops as well ####

[@DylanNixon95]

4 and a half minutes talking about a drop for Rory to knife it back OB... Thanks guys #getonwithit

[@mortenlothe6893]

ob? nah it stops right there. are u playing a cut? yeah LOL

[@johntwemlow6089]

Always lots of laughs, but one annoyance is your continual change of clubs because you can't decide. I even hear Matthew sigh, "oh no, not again." Lol

[@amateurgolfreviewer9120]

Matt go back to the G30 for your own sanity. You were so consistent with it.

[@chriskay6414]

What happened to Matt's game from last time he was ace

[@jayan5221]

What irons are u ou using Mark?

[@SatsumaBomb]

Marks using mizuno hp5 I think

[@Dynamo37958]

What does Rory play off?

[@MarkCrossfield]

7

[@webmastermail8]

What is it with Portugal and barking dogs ? there's always a dog barking in the distance.

[@GreenDistantStar]

Catch my root!

[@streamleazefishhouse]

How does red stakes speed things up?

[@MarkCrossfield]

Because of the rules around dropping

[@streamleazefishhouse]

+Mark Crossfield So if they were white stakes what would happen?

[@MarkCrossfield]

White are out of bounds. Look it up on the rules website :)

[@slater3374]

CastroMyRim

[@JPB90]

Mark Crossfield Horticulture - channel coming soon

[@MarkCrossfield]

Haha definitely

[@jamesdaly1358]

Still don't understand how rory is a 7 handicapper?

[@jamesdaly1358]

+Giuseppe Marriolla all I'm saying is if your a single figure handicapper you should be allot more consistent just giving my opinion obviously you don't listen to other people's opinion

[@giuseppemarriolla9567]

+James Daly Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean it's not a stupid-ass opinion. I'm thinking you hold the 'elite' group that are single figure handicappers to some golden standard that doesn't exist. Go down to your local club and I reckon you'll see many wild shots from any 7 handicap with a bit of length.

[@jamesdaly1358]

+Giuseppe Marriolla evryone hots a bad shot but 7 handicapper in my club are far more consistent than rory just saying

[@giuseppemarriolla9567]

+James Daly Literally no comparison as there are too many variables. If your 7 handicappers are so consistent then why in the hell would they be off 7

[@jamesdaly1358]

+Giuseppe Marriolla they play too their handicap rory doesn't

[@jamesmartingolf]

Are they boxer shorts?

[@Michael_MJ]

Mark and Lockey need styling by Rory.

[@mreiter1971]

Did Mathew sell him self to the Callaway Devil?

[@webmastermail8]

Mark, can't you give poor old Rory a putting lesson? He plays some nice golf at times and then makes me wince on the greens with that nasty picked up, cut stroke - help him out. Buzza too while your at it.

[@mitchellderbyshire2649]

as a greenkeeper myself that divot messing around on the 1st offended me. 😞

[@MarkCrossfield]

Then you are far too sensitive and have totally missed the point.

[@mitchellderbyshire2649]

+Mark Crossfield maybe I am, but it's hard work and I get the mickey taken out of me because I "cut grass". But I still love watching your videos, you should try doing a course vlog like Westwood but with Rory mcilroy.

[@MarkCrossfield]

mitchell derbyshire we do this to poke fun at people who say we don't repair divots when we play. You have missed our point and we respect all ground staff thank you.

[@JappyR2001]

Rorys swing looks so loose and disconnected which probably contributed to his inconsistency

[@JappyR2001]

*contributes

[@SquidLips4000]

I'm yet to see in any of Mark's vlog's Rory playing anywhere close to their standard. Really odd ball strikes and pretty inconsistent from what I've seen

[@JappyR2001]

+Chris Brown i dont get why mark doesnt give him a few lessons just to get close to his 7 handicapper consistency

[@matthewjones8402]

Ask Divot Guru

[@owntor1]

Free drop -> can't clean.

[@paulcope8769]

why is Raymondo cutting across all his putts? Sort him out with a lesson Mark.

[@petembb]

So Mark playing in your boxers, to tired to put on pants/shorts?

[@fiftytwice50x2]

OF course Mark cant fix everything for Rory until he pays for more lessons =p. Also In mark and Lockey's best interest they dont want Rory to show them up on the vlogs =p.. Master cant teach student everything until death!

[@jonathancaldwell3386]

I love Rory but he has got to stop the old "drop club at follow through" when it's not hit well. Dunno why but it would get on my tits if I was playing alongside him (I appreciate I never do so it's irrelevant!) I guess we all have our foibles though.

[@armorkinger]

funny my KZbin!!!!

[@jrh1704]

Rory and Lockey look stoned!

[@TheRafared]

When is someone going to tell Rory he cuts across the ball with his putter with what looks like an open face?

[@Leftienige]

+Brian Devitt Hi Brian, several of us have, weeks ago . He's convinced this method has cured his yips , so like all of us amateurs won't change a flaw which has become comfortable .

[@TheRafared]

Didn't know that he had the Yips. Poor lad. The game is hard enough without having that demon on your back. Go Team Thin Bullet.

[@simonberry6038]

So on hole 3 you were way out on the rules infringement! If you all "agreed" on the tee that the ball had gone in the hazard, he's not allowed to go and even look past the point of entry to see if it didn't in fact go in, as that casts "doubt" as to whether it did, in fact, go in the harzard or not. As he didn't play a provis this means that he loses the hole/blobs as the drop is illegal from the hazard. Sorry to be a internet rules muppet, but I only know this as it happened to me in a comp which resulted in a DQ!

[@MarkCrossfield]

100% don't agree my friend :)

[@MarkCrossfield]

Not allowed to play a provisional if it's in a hazard.

[@simonberry6038]

+Mark Crossfield I agree. If there doubt it was in the hazard he could of played the provis. It was obvious Rory doubted in was in there as he went to look past the hazard for the ball.

[@MarkCrossfield]

No you can not play a proV if it's in a hazard. If you do that ball is gone. There was no doubt where it crossed. :)

[@joebonelle7276]

+Mark Crossfield fight fight fight

Christ, I wouldn’t want to play behind this group. 😴 💤 Took them an hour to get off the first tee.
