Could a Scratch Golfer beat an Ex Tour Pro?

[@cbauersk1406]

Probably one of my favourite videos so far. Grant did very well on a links course he’s never played and I love James’ calm demeanour and solid play.

[@willyoung34]

And grant without his own clubs

[@marccutirella]

how was this your favourite video so far? they are two great guys and the match was decent but lets be real there was 0 intense. no big game changer or anything in this match, ive seen a lot better.

[@markdecamp80]

The fact James can hit his PW 128 and 147 on command shows how skilled he is. Really awesome video to watch these guys test each other.

[@eclipse1161]

It is very impressive. It gets crazier the better the player. I remember in 2006 when tiger hit a 6i 200-210 yards and the very next hole he was aiming for 155 yards with the same club downhill. There club manipulation is just different.

[@Golfer908]

I absolutely love watching James Robinson. His golf just makes me feel good. I havent finished watching yet. Go James go!!!

[@JayJayPea1]

James is a class act. It’s always a treat when he’s on the channel.

[@kennethlockhart2843]

seems like the ultimate English gentleman

[@gregwilliams9658]

The only bad thing about this match was that it wasn't the full 18 holes! Robbo and Grant play some really high quality golf, it was a pleasure to watch!

[@CarlBroadbent]

I was disappointed when I saw it was only 9😢

[@crackspider101]

Yeah I was disappointed too. Didn't notice the length of the video and settled in expecting an hour and a half epic video with all the trimmings. Good video nonetheless!

[@O-Heyguys]

Grant would have lost by 5

[@CarlBroadbent]

@@O-Heyguys Robbo is one of the best players around links courses. If it had been in parkland Florida courses it might have been different

[@richbdonaldson]

@@CarlBroadbent no it wouldn't. Grant cannot compete with professionals. He will lose to them 100/100 times.

[@ShaneChilly]

Rick has KZbin down to an absolute science. The edits, music, intro, and that outro to keep people coming back, very impressive! 🇺🇸

[@snowbind]

Big shout out to Rick's editors. Rick's contribution to this was walking around with a wedge ;)

The levels to this game is mind boggling. James's ability to get up and down out of unfavorable lies is the key difference. Always love seeing him on the channel.

The series of videos with Grant have been tremendously entertaining. He is such a likable bloke and it is always a pleasure watching watching James. Great stuff Rick.

We need to see this again over 18 holes, both swings are just majestic and pleasure too watch

Agree. This should have been 18 holes.

[@John-ql4wo]

Man this video has everything. The intensity , the course looks amazing, stunning in fact. You’d be hard pushed to name two better natured players going head2 head. It’s also sweet that Grant admires Rick and looks to him for advice when Rick remains staunch in his obligation to remain impartial. It’s just A1 Content.

What an epic video! Two absolute ballers. Big fan of Grant and James. Both has smooth, solid golf swings. Cool, calm and level headed. Alot of time for both. Production team keep raising the game too, great work all around!

[@NickMcHardyGolfs]

The silence on that first green when James was approaching his second putt... that was hilarious and also set the tone for how serious this match was going to be. Great video

[@russellhartley2333]

Had two lessons from James so far at St Anne’s Old Links, great set up!! won my first club competition recently. Really relaxed teaching style and has got me striking the ball as well as I ever have

[@willmore01]

Love seeing the different golf courses in these videos. As a 52 yr old high handicapper it’s only a dream for me to play these sorts of places. Love the fact Rick can’t walk the holes without holding a club.

[@joshwrx357]

James saying “oh sugar” on that shot out of the rough is my favorite clip of the whole video 😂

We’re in double trouble

[@GQtheKing14]

James' 9 iron out of the bunker to clutch the match was absolutely spectacular. That's the difference. Great video

One of my favorite videos featuring two of the nicest golfers on KZbin. You could post a Grant/James match every week and I would schedule an appointment to watch it.

Always enjoy seeing James on the channel. Would like to see more of these with him, perhaps give Peter Finch a game

[@medicalmike2414]

I played golf as a young teen with my dad and his friends and did well enough to beat some of them. I just got into golf now this past 2 months and got a brand new set of older clubs the Callaway Mavrik drivers, hybrids and irons. The day I got my 5 H hybrid in the mail my wife told me she wants a divorce. It’s been about a week and half now and I haven’t been able to get out to golf yet but watching your videos as of later is really helping me get through my days off when I find myself bored. I’ve only been subscribed for 2 months. I just want to say thank you for the awesome golf content.

[@thomaskeyboard]

Rick carrying an iron down the first hole even though he's not playing 😂 It reminds me of when you're a kid and watching your dad play

[@guyrandom8518]

That was brilliant Rick, thanks for hosting the match and your commentary. Really big of you mate

[@thebikepackingadventurer]

Class. Somehow get a paid trip for James to go out to Grants home track and film an 18 hole match. Great treat for James being awesome on your channel, and an amazing full match that will be. Honestly I think that would be an epic match. Who else thinks so?

[@Vandercross87]

KZbin collabs is the real deal. I was so looking forward to this one and it did not dissapoint. Well played gentlemen and thanks for this great match setup Rick!

[@gregwilliams9658]

OMG how good was that match.. The ice man playing the sunshine slugger !! Next level tension... Next level playing. One of your best ever Rick. Thank you

[@jameswconforti4248]

Funny, was just thinking same thing. Robbo plays like Iceman, fundamentally sound and rarely a bad mistake; whereas opponents will have a loose hole or two which takes them out of the match.

Great video and great match Rick! You mentioned this course in regards to your Pebble beach or Torrey Pines. You kind of brought back memories for me. I only live an hours drive to Torrey Pines. I live close to Rickie Fowlers driving range in Murrieta. The only PGA tour event I’ve ever attended was the 2008 US open. Standing next to the green watching Tiger drain his epic birdie putt tying Rocko Sunday on the 18th hole was so electric and iconic, it kind of spoiled me to watch other events. I need to get over it and attend more PGA events as I have several close to me every year. Thanks for the content
