This is top notch. Guys like James have so much knowledge. Would love to see a course vlog with James, Kevin Harper and Dan's brother.

[@jonlilley9288]

Fascinating discussion guys. Love James’ stoicism and positive attitude, your best years lie ahead 👍

[@JaradPetroske]

The Darren Clarke comments remind me that pro golf is ultimately an entertainment product. Without the fans, there's no tournament to be grumpy about. Good on James for stopping to chat with the kids!

[@austinmeehan3522]

I enjoyed this interview. I hope James gets back on the Challenge Tour or DP World Tour.

[@tonyblakemore8250]

Great interview, really honest and open and a lovely guy. Remember seeing him on one of your golf vlogs a few years ago, might have been the China Fleet GC one and really wasn’t sure about James and how he come across, think it just might have been nerves or not used to being filmed but since then I have really enjoyed watching and listening to him on your vlogs and he now comes across so well. Great VLOG.

[@martinwilliams4759]

Fantastic interview the best of luck James

[@edmunddavis5669]

Excellent interview...good to see James "The-man" Ruth...thanks Dan

[@tonypowell3115]

What a great interview, best wishes to james for the future and of course to you Dan.

[@alanlovesgolf3462]

Great chat James and Dan, thank you for sharing James… 👍🏌🏻‍♂️🙏🏻. Class.

[@alantrimby3198]

Great interview Dan. Very interesting.

[@markspence5288]

Dans wrist caused by too much trumpet polishing 😂😂😂. On a serious note. I really enjoyed watching this interview

[@irollins]

Great insight once again Dan. Seen James a few times on the channel but now feel so much more connected now knowing his back story, and all the struggles of trying to make it on tour. Keep going James and thanks again Dan for a great interview 👍

[@johnwillis1630]

Great interview Dan, what a nice guy. Would be good to see James on the course again.

[@markturnbull4465]

Great insight, cheers boys

[@andrewjohnston5942]

A great guy. Been there, done it, trying to get back, wish him well.

[@darrolmcroberts8614]

Great interview Dan

[@nickupjohn8586]

Great podcast Dan , so interesting to listen to James and his life on tour experiences, I for one hope that next year is a successful one for him .

[@The-OC]

Really enjoyed that Dan, very interesting to get an insight into tour/tours life and ups and downs, all capped off with quite probably the best piece of advice I've heard in many years. 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@warrendouglas4373]

Good luck James, great interview.

[@geoffcallicott2060]

About five or six years ago atYelverton - my elderly father and I played with/against Mr. Ruth in a 4 ball competition I had no idea who he was - he played fabulous golf but more importantly he was an absolute gent to myself and Dad - and we are just handicapped hackers good luck to you, Mr. Ruth you deserve it.👍

[@ianglover940]

Fantastic podcast Dan. James is such a nice guy & very honest with his answers. Very well done! More of these please

[@andrewpoupart6729]

Great podcast, Jimbo, a DHG legend. I found the screen in the background a bit of a distraction 🙈

[@gavisgone8212]

Great episode Dan. Could've listened to James and you chatting all night....really interesting. James is a top bloke(apart from the liverpool admission 😂😂😂). Hope to see him on the vlogs again soon!!🏌‍♂️

[@markscott3267]

Really interesting interview. James is clearly very resilient, determined and with a strong will to succeed. Best of luck to him.

[@PhilJemson]

Great interview, real insight into high level golf.

[@davidfletcher6836]

Interesting stuff , enjoy these kind of videos you do Dan 👍

[@timackland5411]

Brilliant. Had the absolute pleasure of James' company at a Woodbury park pro am. Super open bloke. Very positive and helpful. Pro sport can be a very tough place. Keep going. For what it's worth your swing looked pretty damn good from my vantage point. and best of all a mighty Red too!!!?

[@oldgippersuk3887]

Fascinating podcast Dan. What a top bloke James is and I’ll certainly follow his progress more going forward. I hope to see more of him on your channel too. Bonus that he is a fellow Liverpool fan. 👌

[@davehurley26]

Love it 😊😊

[@martinfinch7083]

Great to see and hear from James.

[@grahamrushby5959]

Ha ha well that was odd a few mins in to hear James and yourself chatting about Graham in Rotterdam. I am that chap, and yes you are both right… I watched the channel and yes do feel a kind of affinity with the personalities and styles, mainly because I think all the characters on the channel are being themselves and as a west country chap in exile the rapport is built more quickly. Btw James is an excellent coach and first class chap and I am looking forward to him helping me play some better golf. Great video, thanks both! Dan might recall I played the Sunday morning show theme for them on guitar a few years back!

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Yes I do 🎸 hope your well Graham 👍

[@grahamrushby5959]

@@DanHendriksenGolfvery well thanks Dan. Hoping to take up a coaching/golfing trip with you folks soon. That James Ruth is such a name dropper😂

[@deanbrayshaw5862]

Nice one Dan and James.

[@martynmurfitt-wrather7555]

Brilliantly interesting podcast - well done DH! Had the pleasure of meeting James on the Türkiye tours (baby Guinness time!) & he’s a great guy & I wish him well in his pursuits(we just need to educate him on football ..terrible choice of club there 😊!

[@craig3775]

About time Dan, I thought his dad was going to beat him to the podcast later this month! Great episode and James has all the necessary attributes to make it back to European Tour golf, wishing him a successful 2025. Next Ruth up is dad Graham in France

[@rogerschuck5013]

Great podcast James a great guy. Pity it took43 minutes to turn the screen off, its pulsating ball area, was a pain

[@craig3775]

Just an idea for France 🇫🇷. Podcast with dad Graham in front of a live audience. We would have to lock Kev in a cupboard though to stop him heckling the interviewer 😂

[@martynmurfitt-wrather7555]

😂

[@timackland5411]

😂😂😂

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

I could definitely do that if you like

[@johndorenski4127]

Great stuff Dan,such a fan of James and hope he gets out of golf all that he wants.....a side of Darren Clarke I didn't like the sound of...you should never forget the people helped massively in getting golfers to where they are..🌟🎊🥳🤩

[@stevefisher7463]

Looe is very much like tavistock Dan it has a great social side to it you probably saw that and heard that on lees 9hole vlog of Looe 😂 👍

[@stevewilliams190]

Have you tried to get John Bickerton on?

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Not yet, but he is on my list

[@philwinstanley7899]

That was so interesting. There's a lot more to this pro golf malarkey than meets the eye. So disappointing to hear Darren Clarke is an arse. Here's hoping James gets the rewards all his hard work deserves.
