CHASING RED & BREAKING PAR CONSISTENTLY // On Course Vlog // How low can Ian go?

[@abcoffee772]

I love the mix here. We're all here for the fitting videos and the gear head conversations, but mixing in a course vlog every once in a while is refreshing.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thank you!! We’ll continue to do our best to bring you guys the best content we can.

[@06silvershoes]

How is this channel NOT at 2 Million followers!? Content for the true fan of golf… love it guys!

[@MichaelM-to4sg]

Don’t know about where you are but during our golf season, the overwhelming majority of golfers on my home courses, we are in Colorado and BigSky, MT, are >50 years of age. In that age group, YT is just not very prevalent. YT viewership is more commonly 20-30 age group and at least here there’s just not a lot of golfers in the group. My son is 33, he plays when I fly down to Houston to see him but he rarely plays when I’m not there and I know his YT content he views is not golf related.

[@stephenhodge8417]

It’s not an easy market to grow in unless you lean more towards entertainment like Good Good, ForePlay, Bob Does Sports etc. Club reviews and deep golf talk grow slowly. Rick is an exception to that rule. But look at Mark Crossfield. He has been doing it longer than Rick Shiels yet his subscriber count has stayed around 400k for several years now.

[@socalgolf9978]

I can care less about all the technical junk , a very small percentage cares about it . TXG got a lot of hype when they first came out because of the forums but that has died off .

[@talonclark1236]

I could watch Ian play golf all damn day. Much prefer this over Good good and other KZbin golfers.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Well that’s a hell of a compliment, thank you!! 🙏🏻

[@sawyer800]

So sweet love the in-depth thoughts on the shot making decision

[@ianfrasergolf]

🙏🏻 thank you!!

[@is1nameleft]

Love the arcoss

[@ArmyGolfBC]

Love this VLOG. Ian is a great communicator and I like the way he talks through the shots, deals with the emotional highs and lows, and grinds.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thank you, 🙏🏻 I hope we can do more content like this in 2024.

[@stevenewlan9925]

Enjoyed this once again.

[@thomasblock1164]

Algo comment. Thanks for taking us with you, Ian. Great pace.

[@davidgourlay2287]

Excellent content mate , great to see you playing well

[@alexberry3243]

It would be cool to see you all do some stuff with Scott Fawcett and Decade Golf for course management in this series!

[@ianfrasergolf]

I’d actually love to do that.

[@jonc5731]

You’re 100% right about the mistake on hole 2 that compounded itself. Pros just don’t make those mistakes. Keep it up!

[@ianfrasergolf]

We’re always learning.

[@garyhovey9305]

Great series here! I just started the SuperSpeed training this week after watching your recent video at the SS HQ in Utah. Starting at 98 mph with a goal of 110 mph. Will still focus on 30 yards to 155 yards to keep bringing the handicap down. Thanks for the inspiration!💪🏻

[@dabdias]

Nicely played, but there’s definitely some room for better strategy choices. You mentioned Scott Fawcett (DECADE), and I think you could benefit a good amount from reviewing his stuff. Hole #2 hits basically 3 points on the Tiger 5 - bogey or worse with 9 iron in hand, double bogey, and 3 putts! First mistake was target choice from fairway; second mistake was taking too much risk with chip shot (lucky outcome); third mistake was trying to hard to make the putt which opened the door for 3 putts. I think you may also want to take a look at tee club selection, just a suggestion. In any case, very nicely played.

[@lawbinson]

John Sherman from Practical Golf would also be a great guest.

[@dabdias]

@@lawbinson sure! Scott is more fun and he knows a lot more, though!

[@hack.nicklaus]

by far my favourite pieces of content, always interesting to see the distances knowing what's in the tank. after the SuperSpeed video and how they mentioned distance SG gain can offset the offline SG loss, I'd be curious to see a round where you really max out and see how scoring is impacted

[@brettblack1124]

love the course vlogs ian!

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thank you Brett, I’m looking forward to doing more of these.

[@andrewkeihl576]

the on course stuff is awesome. keep up the great work

[@ianfrasergolf]

👍🏼

[@paulbown3960]

Thanks for posting Ian, swing is looking good

[@ianfrasergolf]

We’re getting there Paul, i still feel like I have a long way to go when I see some of the swings in this video. It’s better than it was though.

[@Cyrus92178]

I really enjoy the on course content. It’s nice to see the thought process that goes into to each shot.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thank you Cyrus!!

[@NovaScene]

Love seing the data at the end of the video showing real distances!

[@chriselerick4770]

this content is so fun. very high quality! nice playing too.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thanks Chris!!

[@johnbrodnik839]

Nicely done! Ian you have the perfect game for Bandon right now!! And I’m sure you can probably hit a knock down punch shot with a 5 iron all day. No carts there my friend!!

[@ianfrasergolf]

I absolutely can’t wait to do Bandon.

[@todd5dogs]

More like this from you Ian good stuff

[@ianfrasergolf]

👍🏼

[@camchann]

Would love to see more course videos from you guys!

[@TheDukeSilver69]

Swing looks good man

[@ianfrasergolf]

🙏🏻, making good progress with my coach Tyler McGhie. Excited for the Spring.

[@nfast42701]

Love the on course content

[@ianfrasergolf]

🙏🏻

[@bmwjoon]

Ian, you played great! When you hit your approach on 2, I feel like you had to work the ball the other way. That was me being an armchair quarterback.

[@ianfrasergolf]

I hate to use this as an excuse but I literally wolfed down a Chicken Quesadilla between my drive and the second shot and stepped up to the shot without giving it the proper care. 🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

[@seanthompson3775]

Shot 69 in Idaho last Monday in 38 degree weather from the tips. Recently put Ventus shafts in all my tsr woods and hybrids and it’s been fire. Ventus black 8x in my driver has taken the left side of the golf course away. Really looking forward to improving my short game next year to get to a +2 or +4

[@michaelocean4788]

Are you using the Graphite Design VF 5S in the driver?

[@ianfrasergolf]

This was the 6x model

[@211squirrel]

I went from a 10 handicap to a 4.8 by the end of September, shooting my best round ever 73 TWICE in 7 days. I went 73-79-73 in competitions. My goal for this year is to increase my work ethic, really grind the scores down to below-par, and win my club championship in August. No easy feat at my club; the past several years out champion has been Charlie Kennerly who is friends with, and played college golf with Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris. He doesn’t play in the club championship any more, but we also have Peter Knade (current Korn Ferry player, who qualified for 2 PGA events last season too) at our club too. Pretty tough competition. I need to iron out a few parts of my bag, I have big gaps in my irons, and my 3 wood needs replacing. I have a full bag fitting scheduled at Club Champion on 12/29, so we will see how it shapes up!

[@thom7272]

Nice 9 Ian working with TM is paying off

[@ianfrasergolf]

Definitely, working with Tyler has helped me a bunch.

[@thom7272]

@@ianfrasergolf I really like following your lessons with Tyler I work with Tyler every Sunday and you and I have very similar defaults with the right arm and pushing up from the right foot

[@jrfuentes2688]

Wow what a course! Looks like total class. I’d love to have some of those shots.

[@charliebrown3597]

Enjoyed that video

[@ianfrasergolf]

🙏🏻

[@mikemyers7317]

Go get 'em Ian, I'm just trying to break 90!

[@ianfrasergolf]

Get after it Mike!! Good luck my man!! 🙌🏻

[@TP82396]

Sitting at 2.9 wanting to get down to scratch just need to eliminate a the one blow up hole I make around 3 birds around just need to clean up the small mistakes

[@MarkArnold92660]

Love seeing a playing vlog with you Ian. How did you like beautiful San Diego?

[@ianfrasergolf]

I absolutely love So Cal. It’s such a cool spot. I’m start to learn where the good courses are also which is cool.

[@MrNicliu]

Lovin this big lad 💪

[@ajaytuk7416]

well played dude

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thank you AJay!! 🙏🏻

[@Misnjef]

This is plain awesome 👏

[@justinsikorsky4699]

Digging this content!

[@ianfrasergolf]

Thanks Justin!! 🙏🏻

[@breakandrun70]

Nice front nine, the silly little mistakes putting, would really clean up the round. Great video, I enjoyed it very much, kind of jealous, Here I'm stuck here in Nova Scotia in -18 degree weather, but it was nice and green where you were. I've played that coarse, very nice coarse. Good luck on the back nine, slow down and pick up on your speed putting. See Ya!

[@clubchampionmedia]

You can live vicariously through Ian! 😂

[@mikelytwyn3578]

What brush are you using to clean your grooves Ian?

[@BlairBN01]

Ian, Lou Stagner wants a word with you regarding your thoughts on chasing an uphill putt 😂 Great content, mate, love hearing the thought process of good players over every shot.

[@BStrooo]

Short game is impeccable. Anyone know what shoes Ian is wearing?

[@ianfrasergolf]

🙏🏻!! Nike Jordan 1 shoes

[@joshuacade61]

Kind of curious, what do you personally do for alignment? Do you typically see your target and hit it, or do you think especially for low handicappers finding an intermediate target to where you are aiming can help with the alignment of where you hit your shot?😊

[@seanbirish]

Is that the VF shaft I see?

[@ianfrasergolf]

Yessir this was when I first put in the 6x

[@steveetherington3413]

Hi Ian i am a 65 year old 12 handicap three times a week golfer,I love the channel but always wonder why you dont walk your course! It seems that the people using biggies on my home course are younger people ,why?

[@kevinoneill2170]

Some courses here in the US require that everyone drive in a cart (aka buggie), especially if the course has a lot of elevation change up and down and/or if they have long distances between greens and tee boxes. Some courses are really spread out and can sometimes have distances between greens and the next tee box of 100m, 500m, or even longer. The course they're at is in Del Mar near San Diego, California, with a lot of elevation change. Their website says the greens fees come with complimentary golf cart (w/ GPS) and a forecaddie for each group.

[@ianfrasergolf]

I prefer to walk but it’s very difficult to film these on course videos and walk. We can make up a lot time in between shots with the carts.

[@wbmoffitt7985]

Play a round with someone with off the rack clubs, then fit them, then play with those clubs

[@ianfrasergolf]

NOT A CHANCE. I haven’t used stock clubs in many many years.

[@topoDaMornin]

On the 2nd hole I imagine you dropped more strokes from the first putt than you did with the 9i.

[@ohhdanni9422]

whats the phone app you use?

[@jrshelby]

The flag in the background on that par 3 gave the wind away left to right I thing the haavy draw got pushed a little

[@farrelpramadito1703]

did Ian just didn't use a hat or sunglasses while he play rounds of golf?

[@kevinoneill2170]

It's a well know fact that Ian is the president of the "no hats" club! 🤣

[@ianfrasergolf]

I grew up playing in Scotland where it’s never sunny and pretty much always raining LOL, so not much of a need for a hat or glasses.

[@BaxGolfPNW]

You said 59 watch after hole 1… had to know what the 2nd would give ya.

[@w.h8557]

More

[@lawbinson]

Even the pros don’t break par all the time though

[@michaelcoughlin8238]

I watched a video last week, I think it was Bryson, who said downhill putts are easier to make. The overall sentiment, as you mentioned, for years has been uphill was better.

[@ianfrasergolf]

I never feel like downhill putts are easier.

[@hypeNT500]

Fml

[@ianfrasergolf]

Fyl indeed!!

[@ericthorsell447]

Wow. Copied this off of another channel. I get its what everybody films. But taking the name????? So much for original content.

[@ianfrasergolf]

Wow, imagine having a series that sounds similar to another channel and we’re both playing golf!! BTW I have no idea what the series you’re referring to is. We never looked into trademarks before starting out.

[@ericthorsell447]

A simple search on KZbin would have told ya. Just type in chasing red. It’s golf related.

[@EannMcCullough]

Your content is losing its way…

[@ianfrasergolf]

I’m really happy with our content recently. Some of the best stuff we’ve filmed in a long time.
