Episode 9 - Forfar Golf Club - The search for Birdie's & Bridie's

[@severianob9009]

My favourite channel just get better and better, nice to see a youtuber focus on the course, the area, the people rather than being about themselves, very refreshing, this channel should have so many more subscribers

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Thanks! Always feel like the first objective is to showcase the course, so I am happy with those comments

[@StevenMossGolf]

Enjoyed this again Andy 👌. Lovely stuff and great production. Keep up the fantastic work 👏

[@prestonmcmichael3207]

It's just a joy to watch Andy. Such great camerawork really brings these courses to life. Loving the information too. However, I had one wee problem with this video and that was I was chewing along with you as you ate the bridies.😋

[@David1131955]

Looks like your golf game was in good shape throughout your Scottish odyssey Andy....and largely you had wonderful weather too. I've enjoyed enormously each of your films. Keep 'em coming buddy!

[@linksgolflover5500]

Nice to see a focus on Forfar, this film showed the rolling fairways as I have never seen captured before. Love the new taste challenge!

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Glad we did it justice

[@PeterHowe-rr1bj]

the undulations in the fairways were where they used to dry the flax used for weaving.

[@keithwalker1780]

Another great video. I love the way you showcase the golf course as well as the history associated with it. It's also great that you show the local cuisine and what the area is known for and has to offer. My favorite golf vlog. It's always the first one I watch.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Its been great to be able to include these additional elements, fun to make so glad you think it works

[@stuartblake4899]

Brilliant as ever Andy !! You need to keep these going , throwing in a bit of local stuff too is a great idea !! It’s a course I’ve never played , and really forgot about it ,and I live not that far away , you’ve certainly showcased it in a way that had sold it to me 👍

[@TheAverageGolfer]

We have 21 filmed and this is No9 so lots to come! Glad the videos are encouraging people to visit the courses

[@stuartblake4899]

The Average Golfer Cant wait for the other 12 , I’ll be honest Andy ,I’m subscribed to a few golf you tubers , and yours is by far the best !! So well done on your chosen vision !!👌

[@TheAverageGolfer]

@@stuartblake4899 Much appreciated Stuart, I am keen to develop this style so getting the positive comments helps!

[@atscottcarnoustie2946]

The rolling fairways of Fofar G C. Some fantastic holes on there and a well deserved birdie. Good review of the local delicacy too 😂

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Thanks for the continued kind feedback

[@davidrobinson2644]

Played at Forfar this week for the first time - really enjoyed it. Lots of options for courses to play in this area so TBH a video like this helped make my decision. Great work

[@davidleigh2573]

Absolutely perfect. Great course and golf being played as it should be. Stay safe and well Thanks

[@clarkswan9616]

Great video again Andy. And glad you enjoyed your final night in my home town Dundee. The perfect base for Carnoustie country & St Andrews.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

HAd a great night would have liked a better day on the Sunday to have a proper look around

[@briantreadwell2206]

Forfar looked in very good nick and based on your putting (very good) I’m guessing the greens were good too. Wifey got very interested as soon as Malmaison featured (our favourite chain). I’ll have to pick your brains re a road trip - the wife deserves a break (as long as we stay at Malmaison - the golf a given). The bridie another attraction! Great series Andy

[@jonosborne4529]

This course looks absolutely stunning, it’s now on my ‘must play’ list. Great work Andy 👍🏼

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Lovely course Jon

[@andrewdare4404]

What a great looking course Andy have to go there one day super vlog

[@Itsthejourneynotthedestination]

Another great vid, always enjoy Forfar. Stewart Wilson is a legend around these parts.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

One heck of a career

[@brdegolfer7328]

Great representative vlog of a truly wonderful course plus a nice interview with Stuart who as detailed had a fantastic amateur golfing career. I wish Stuart all the best in leading the GB&I team next year over in the States and I look forward to getting to play Forfar Golf Club as a member, hopefully we will keep getting great weather like you experienced that day. In my opinion the Forfar course is a great challenge for all handicaps and the grounds men have done a fantastic job in keeping it in such good condition. Thank you for the vlog, sounds like you really enjoyed getting to play there.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Really pleased we did it justice and I hope you enjoy your golf there

[@brdegolfer7328]

@@TheAverageGolfer thank you. I hope that you enjoyed your round that much that you would like to play the course again some day. I'm looking forward to getting out onto the undulating fairways very soon

[@simonoliver1174]

More great content Andy and the camera work by Mrs Andy is excellent

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Thanks from both of us

[@davepalmerton2429]

Love the format of you're current vlogs, Andy. The bridies looked quite appetizing, also.

[@davidmcdowell1570]

Another great video Andy already looking forward to the next one

[@tonyshorey3486]

My son is getting married in Scotland next year and after watching your vids I am going to need a month beforehand to play all the courses I have seen.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Sounds like a great idea

[@wajopek2679]

Cracking looking Course and video and ending.

[@jeffbates5401]

Andy great video. Great birdie, great job

[@TheAverageGolfer]

I finally bagged one!

Great production my friend. Recently heard about you from a fellow golfer and thought I would give you a watch. New subscriber here. Cheers

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Thats so good to hear on both counts, thxs for joining us

Another excellent video! Out of interest what driver is it in your bag?

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Thank you . I am trying the Callaway BB21

[@rodphillips9433]

Ugggh...Not sure what I want to experience more. The Bridie's or the golf... Both looked delightful...

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Hahaha agreed! Delightful!

[@jaybyrne4562]

Scotland golf must be loving this! Every one has been brilliant! 👍

[@TheAverageGolfer]

I know I am!! Thxs Jay

[@Chazthefurr]

What you did not mention was that Sandy Saddler (your bridie baker) was our Walker Cup Captain in 1977 at Shinnecock. Two from one golf club is quite an achievement. Sandy is still playing golf and is looking forward to being at the next match at St. Andrews in September 2023.

[@dean7synergy72]

Damn you Scotland you have the best courses in the 🌎 I could live there, the courses are unbelievable your blessed ⛳️🏌️👌

[@TheAverageGolfer]

They are spoilt up there!

[@dean7synergy72]

Scotland The Home of Golf I went carnoustie 2 weeks ago stayed in Arbroath played the 3 carnoustie courses then visited St. Andrews and Glen eagles for some ball markers, you should be proud the heritage and prestigious courses you have is unbelievable plus there steeped in history and the vlogs Andy does are special couldn't ask for an honest Guy who draws you into the vlogs you watch and if am honest I want to be there after every vlog I know what courses I'll be visiting next year 🏌️⛳️👍

[@dean7synergy72]

Scotland The Home of Golf I hope Andy and Erik Anders Lang get together and do some vlogs around Scotland 👌

[@nigelday001]

Andy can these get any better ? Beautiful course, what time of year was this ? 😉🏌️‍♂️⛳️🍻

12 more to follow Nigel! This was filmed a few weeks back

I’m not sure what you’re eating, but right now I’m envious of your game. I would be ecstatic with the number of pars you have scored while playing a new (to you) course.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

It was a good golf day Ray!

[@robmccoll1160]

Another class video Andy

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Thanks Rob

[@titchyjp]

Again another great video.

Thank you

[@rejnormandin4658]

You have me dreaming of going on a road trip down your way !

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Hope you make the trip one day!

[@iainrae]

Pitty you didn't get to play off white medal tee on the 1st,with the pro shop and starters office in front of you, quite daunting, and all the members watching from the bar,, hope you enjoyed it,, Forfar birdies are usually shortcrust pastry.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

They were playing a members comp earlier in the day from the whites and I did think how daunting that would be, but to be honest we should have panned around because the whole patio area was on its feet to watch that tee shot which was bad enough!

[@iainrae]

@@TheAverageGolfer I've played their open comp, when I booked in at the starter his office was littered with golf ball dents, I still had to play, lol, put my tee shot in Fairway bunker right.

[@midlifebiker7424]

We have our own "Scotland" island in Australia..its called Tasmania..

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Same weather as well

[@MarkJohnson-bs4hp]

Come on Andy, I'm not sure I have enough years to fit all these courses in. I'll give it a go though.

[@justinstephenson9360]

Beautiful once again although the video colour looked a little "washed out"...although knowing Scotland as I do that was probably a very accurate representation of a slightly grey day!

[@TheAverageGolfer]

The day changed from being bright to dull and it was late afternoon by the time we finished which may make for some of the dull look

[@pauldavis18]

I,m happy to see you finally get that elusive birdie, but I believe you were robbed earlier by the COVID flag. Coming from Australia I have no idea what a bridie is, but they look tasty. Great interview with Stuart too.

[@jackvliet]

What driver do you use?

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Callaway BB21

[@Mungo-ul9pv]

Love the films and chats but the music is painful- sounds as if the tape has been stretched!

[@TheAverageGolfer]

Well at least you enjoyed some of it! It is a challenge to pick music that 10,000 people all like for each video

[@golf007sd2]

Sooooo beautiful. I have a strong feeling Pete Dye got some of his course fairway designs from this monstrosity of fairway setup. Those wop-di-do's are simply mad. If you miss the ball on the wrong side, forget about having reasonable stance....good Lord.

[@TheAverageGolfer]

An even lie is a rarity and adds to the challenge

[@cynt1111]

Great looking course, love the 1970’s porn film music.😂😂

Another great video, each of these courses makes many modern courses look so sterile and cookie cutter (characterless)

[@tom-fp7vi]

This is ridiculous. He already makes the very best golf video's on KZbin, and now he is tormenting us with food and pastry samplings from the area's as well???
