[@mrkipling7072]

Me and my 8 year old son love watching your videos - such a nice guy. Relatable golf mate !! Keep swinging 👍

[@willyknuts1762]

That's a proper 'Mountain Goat' course that. Looks awesome though. Your bad days are way better than my good days so well done for sticking at it.

The hit on the camera shot was so 😂 priceless. Cool that it's still OK. My setup had some drops and it broke the usb-c connection internally as the cable of the mic was connected. Great round. Awesome 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@aliiqbal7490]

Appreciate the honesty. That’s why I watch. Keep it up.

[@DexxBlue]

Great Work again James ! Lovely looking course and not so far from Me & Mates

[@mannyo4231]

I often get rushed out even when i arrive early, intended pre round range goes up in smoke. Courses are crowded here in the states. Iv'e used that excuse often....Beautiful course, looks challenging. Enjoyed the bonus footage, nice to see behind the scenes....Very relatable as we all have those types of thoughts during a round.. Should consider including more of the bonus footage.....As always enjoyed the vid.

[@andrewjgordon1372]

One of your best vlogs James as always really enjoyable and honest thoughts on the course, now you know where to go and not to I certain your score with becat least 6 shots better, look forward to the next one.

[@randyhoneycutt8153]

Beautiful views, lovely course. Your videos are so relatable to so many of us ordinary golfers. You should do a “what’s in the bag” video some day. It would be interesting to see which clubs you use. Cheers Nd look forward to your next outing.

Thanks for posting James. Interesting course.

[@greggscott3664]

Well James after seeing you violently take out your frustration on your camera, I had to laugh. I think I'm going to hit the 19th hole and reassess my whole approach to this game. I'm in between throwing my clubs in the pond or start gambling, I'm equally bad at both but at least at the Craps table I get free drinks! LOL... Let us know if we need to take up a collection for a new I phone camera for you. I love the beauty of the courses you play. Just got back from a trip to the Balkans, had to visit the in-laws. No golf courses in N. Macedonia and it was too hot at Porto Caras Greece to play that course. Back home in Washington now and looking forward to winter golf in the rain. Keep a stiff upper lip. Cheers!

[@grumpy9250]

What a beautiful course

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Thanks for the heads up on hole 8 James, still made me jump though!

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Never done that before, and hopefully won't again! 👍👍

[@davidsmith4178]

Really enjoyed this video. I go there about three times a year. We always do two rounds when we go there, and the first time I went there I lost eighteen balls, if it makes you feel any better about losing three balls. Just for the record, one of the members, who was in his twenties at the time, did some rounds for charity. He did five rounds in one day, running the first two, then if I remember correctly, he had a buggy for the other three rounds.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Cheers David, it's a great course and tough going the first time. I was going to play without a buggy initially. The plan was to play the front 9, chill out and have lunch and then play the back 9 all on foot. I'm very glad I didn't do this & that 5-round guy has my respect!

[@davegregory2809]

Great video James. Absolutely love your relatable content aa always. Beautiful strike to take the camera out 😉😂

[@slpbasketballer9]

[@ian99ih]

Hitting the camera 😂😂😂 youtube gold.😂😂 As far as im aware, no penalty for accidental strike of your flag,kit or caddy, if not used as a back stop on purpose. Play ball from where it lies. Great vid.👍👍

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

I think the ball was only 6ft away after the camera hit. It wouldn't be right walking off with a par after that! lol :-)

[@ian99ih]

In the words of 'not a perfect golfer', it's a funny old game. There are plenty of bad breaks, so enjoy the good breaks. 🤣👌

[@Kiponator2010]

James: your advice to make sure to wear good quality socks to walk the course in has been, hands down, the singularly most transforming golf tip I have received from KZbin. Eternal thanks!

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

I definitely learnt this one the hard way. I really wish someone had given me this tip when I started! Glad to be of service 👍👍

[@davidwalters313]

Really enjoyable video. Looks a fantastic course. You clearly are slightly off your game - lot of shots to the right. Do you think a lesson might help? All the best. David

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

I'd like to change my swing to a full swing eventually so probably need a bunch of lessons. I'm reluctant to do this as I don't think I'm playing any golf this winter. Right now I'm just playing loads and loving it regardless of the scores! :-)

After the triple on the 11th things could have really got out of hand scoring wise. I was happy with the back 9 all things considered 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great video again James. I saw you were down on the booking sheets for Royal St David's a couple of weeks ago, do you have a video upcoming?

On the 4th you can hit a mid iron to the corner of the dig leg, or a draw with a hybrid to get around tge corner or cut the corner with a three wood and get close to the green.

Great content and nice course. Get a gap wedge it will fill the gap between your sw and pw. I love my gap wedge and I highly recommend them

Shot Tracer Pro app for the tracers. I get the gps distances from the 'Golfshot' app 👍👍👍

Enjoyed the video, delays and rushing always gets me flustered so stick with that story.

I wasn't late but didn't have enough time to hit in the nets. Just 5 minutes on the putting green then straight to the first tee!

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Good idea! I usually take 6 balls just in case and was onto the second sleeve after 11 holes :-)

[@dmichaels4117]

What a beautiful course. Thankfully you do not need to show your passport before you putt on hole #4. Of course that would be the perfect excuse for me to end a bad round of golf.

[@Unitedfan461]

Bucket hat, socks, style icon

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

I usually wear brown socks too but they were in the wash this day 😂😂😂

[@MrJules39]

I've not played golf for a few years, trying to restart after horrendous back issues and I'm wondering has the handicap system changed? There's no way this guy is a 12.8 handicap. Still enjoyed the video as it shows the pain high handicappers go through, but 12.8? Come on now. Even on a course you don't know, you should only be leaking 3 or 4 shots over that at worst. Anyone able to explain please?

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Hilltop course pal. The first time out is sometimes like this. Good luck with your return to golf 👍👍👍

[@RonMcK]

261 on that 1st drive??? Off balance and a half swing. IDK....

[@johnchampion7819]

I believe you can play better than that, but on the day things didn't go for you. I admire your honesty, no editing like, I'm sure, some people do.. Very similar to my average game when you know you could have done better and feel that, if you went straight back out, you could knock at least 6 shots off. You accept the bad shots with a smile which is the key to enjoying your golf.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Cheers John, yeah this definitely was an off day but I still really enjoyed playing this unique course. The good thing about golf is you get all the health benefits no matter your score 👍👍👍

Stated at the start he was struggling!! Ignorance is truly bliss. Why bother with the negative comment? Makes you feel better about yourself?

[@GlennPringle-m5f]

A 12 handicap doesn’t mean you are a great golfer. He films all his rounds and shows every shot with no cheating. We’ve seen his scores and know he’s a 12 handicap but not playing near his best.

[@bombmk2590]

The round comes in at a 20.1 score differential, as far as I can tell. I am a 7.6 and I have had one of those over the last year. Can't really judge a handicap based on one round. Does sound a iittle low based on what I saw, though.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Looking back it's strange nobody has commented on how weak my approach play was in this round. I was in prime position from 80-130 yards multiple times and every single one missed the green! I wasn't practicing on the range enough and this has now been addressed 👍👍👍

@@terryrasmussen4013 You only play to your handicap 20% of the time. So "should" is a bit wrong. CR/Slope for this course gives him a course handicap of 14 from the yellow tees. On a par 70. So playing his handcap would be an 84. He shot 10 worse. Not unheard of. But I would agree that it did look a little worse than just a bad day.

[@graemeflynn9505]

Not playing +13 for 9 holes you won't. Cheating yourself mate.

[@RonMcK]

The shot tracer doesn't seem accurate. No way he's driving the ball 250-290. He says it's roll out but I'm not buying it. Almost PGA level with his putting in most of his videos!?!? Easy to do if you're taking a few practice putts before you film. Just look at the clouds when he putts. A long time from set up to actually putting. I'm done watching this guy. .
