I love these break 80,90,100 videos. All the old ones I always watch back, the ones with OMP tips the lot. Quality

[@michaelrobinson7143]

I hit my 5 wood 190. What great content today let’s have more of these, MrB, breaking 85 with you as caddy. Shot scope l want your watch.

[@twotonetedfromteddingtone4584]

Great video and one to get you thinking. So often we go out there with no plan...we just hit it...and hope and get frustrated. This plan has realism at its heart and some bad shots built in. THe usual issue is to keep the focus so lets see. I'm going to try i next time out. Right I've given this a go today at South Staffs GC.Par 72 /6208 yards. No driver only 5 wood off tee. Aim was to get on green in one under par then 2 putts per hole so aiming for a bogie every hole. Bogie is your friend!! Result was drives approx 170 +/- 10 yds. 11 out of 14 fairways hit. No bunkers/no penalties etc. Scored: Pars 7/Bogies 8/Dbl Bogies 3. Round in 86...my best. (Previous best 88). It's a different focus and I enjoyed the more relaxed, play within yourself approach. Will try again on Thursday 👍

[@kevinwilson7604]

Shot scope I want your watch. 190 yds, I'm hitting 5 iron. @Liam: "solid as a rock" is called Solid by Ashford & Simpson. Not Abba😂😂😂 While we're talking music, 99 Red Balloons is Nena. (name of the band and the lead singer). It was originally in German called "neun und neunzig Luft Ballon" Yes, I want to hear say that in German in a future video. 😂😂😂

[@Cats3141]

Only native English speakers could get all of this.

[@ianpeyman5266]

Shotscope I want your watch. Great content again. All of the break series are enlightening and truly focus on better course management where us higher handicappers fail massively!

[@richardstone8145]

Really enjoyed this video. Proves you don’t need to be smashing a driver and losing balls off the tee. Well done Liam 👏 I’m gonna try this method tomorrow afternoon

[@garygill1034]

All things aside, I was looking for the song solid as a rock, just couldn't remember it. As soon as you said solid as a rock, I knew I had found it 😂 Thank you sir. Your content is great and very relatable!

[@williamearley9972]

Shot Scope I want your watch. These 80 90 100 videos are so helpful. I play off 29 on a 9 hole course but have been scoring in the 20s regularly since watching them. Real golf course management!

[@dony3469]

I'm play off 19 and these video's have taught me so much about my own course management. Great stuff Liam. Shotscope, I want your watch.

[@steveo-australia]

Brilliant work Liam. Whoever thought you could smash 85 without the big dogs. Well done bloke! Oh yep, and I would love a dozen of those flash seed balls please champion. I’ll give some to big Simon at Moree for you. 🇦🇺 🦘 Keep pumping out your quality content. Love your work!

[@andypet_1968]

Just started golf this year. Best channel on KZbin. Shotscope I want your watch.

[@yawllad7397]

Shot scope I want your watch, great performance again liam cool calm and held your nerve, real golf is the winner

[@ChristopherGaller-v2m]

Great video! Although older than you, there are many times I wanted to play a regulation size course with just my irons - to prove to myself that distance is not the key to scoring. As I creep up on my 65th year, I watch more and more OMP videos. He is a testament to 5he fact that distance is helpful, but direction and playing the wise shot are the most important attributes. Keep up the good work and fun entertainment.

[@royhinson6426]

ShotScope I want your watch. Good content, Liam. I believe everyone should play practice rounds with just irons to help improve their game.

[@ianmcmillan2634]

Great video Liam and team. Well played. I think the thing that stands out most is your ability to keep it together even when you have a few bad shots. That is the down fall of many of us higher markers. You had a plan, stuck to it and it payed off.

[@johnwaite8809]

Shotscope I want your watch. Terrific video. This is exactly where I'm at, trying to break 85 consistently playing off 15. I've ditched my driver for a couple of months now as it just kept putting me in hazards. I hit the irons way better than the woods right through the bag. They just feel more natural. Maybe I should try only irons as well. I can still hit the 4i 195yards + so I'm only losing 40-50 yards with the 3 wood. Keep keeping it real Liam.

[@roglin87]

It's not normal for me to make three comments, but I have to congratulate you Liam, on a very consistant round in difficult windy conditions. I now feel that I can get a good round in tomorrow by using your positive thinking. It is nice to see OMP making a short visit.

[@mikecarmon1317]

I hit my 4 iron roughly 190 4:04 yds. These types of videos make me work on my game. Thanks for posting posting. That's a nice watch...

[@PatrickMclaughlinRock]

Well done Liam, 80 shots with only irons in the bag 👏 just shows it can be done 🎉 Shotscope I want your watch

[@douglascruickshank9614]

Great Video to show mid handicap golfers how to get round with out trying to hit every ball out of sight and return a score.

[@davemyer7154]

Well done Liam - real life golf. You went through the mentally tricky bit on the back nine when you were over-thinking a bit and worrying about your swing. But you cleared your mind and finished with a flourish. That 4 iron into the last green was an absolute peach!

[@stephenbeaumont1253]

Liam what a great video, shows everyone who isn't a big hitter that you can get round a course if you play it easier with smart iron play . 💪⛳👏👏

[@stewillo86]

I prefer watching your videos rather than playing golf myself! Love your game and your content. 👍🏻

[@jamieduncanson9564]

Hit my driver about 190-200. Shot scope I want your watch. Another brilliant video Liam 👏

[@kevinfuters7568]

Another very good and sensible played round. Boring golf made fun. I hit 7 wood shotscope for 190. It goes about 180/185 but with run that’s my go to shot.

[@wolfgangkehrer618]

Great, that was a very good round, Liam! It shows very well that it's not always the driver in hand you need.

[@scottyc2397]

Shotscope I want your watch. Well played Liam. Brilliant course management and no 3 putts, maybe you are the best putter on the channel.

[@stuartnicol2921]

Great battling, just shows you don’t have to be hitting as long as you can all the time. Well done Liam. SEED GIVE ME YOUR BALLS!

[@ryancampbell7519]

Shot scope I want your watch. 190 would roughly be 3/4 iron on a good day. Need more videos like this, was class.

[@KrisDudley]

Great video 😄 Heart-warming, honest, funny, and well played! Thoroughly enjoyed that.

[@adamheath3122]

Shot scope i want your watch. Great video Liam, just shows you that using driver and woods isn't always the best thing. Keep up the great work all 👍🏌‍♂️⛳️

[@SL0409]

Great stuff Liam This channel has saved me from some dark places over the last few months I dont have a handicap and only been playing 1 year (4-5 months actual playing time) 190 im using driver, generally only goes 160-180 😂 Shot scope. Id love your watch. Keep up the great content fella 👍

[@michaelbowers6904]

Very enjoyable- shows how effective just keeping it in play can be. Shotscope I want your watch.

[@phil23go]

I'm loving this series, especially as I'm looking to get back golfing after a 9yr break...😊 shotscope I want your watch

[@KennethFitzpatrick]

Well done Liam and because your telling the yardage and what club your hitting it makes us feel part of your game.Great content as usual. Shot scope I want your Watch.

[@johnkitchen4699]

Returned for the last 8 holes to see you make 80. Your joy after hitting your third to the last was stellar. Well done. Maybe I should leave my driver at home.

[@steveearll2735]

Loved this one Liam just goes to show you don’t always need to hit the driver. I hit my 4 wood around 190 yds now so will give this method a try next round and see if I can get my score down. Keep up the great work you had me entranced all the way through this one

[@johnnewman1206]

Shot scope I want your watch Liam that's one of the best rounds you've played for a long time well done mate you kept going that's all you can ask for

[@davidgilbertson5452]

I hit a cut down 13 degree driver 190 yards. Well played Liam. You make it look easy . Shotscope I want your watch 🏌🏾‍♂️

[@kenbillingham6962]

Well done Liam, no distraction from Mr.Barlow. And yes i would like your Shotscope watch please.

[@guykinnison1670]

Shot scope I want your watch! - driver is not always your best friend but we all think it is when this shows you don’t need to be friendly all the time with the big stick, great content Liam

[@craigseaver8062]

Shot Scope, I want your watch. Thanks for breaking down the scoring details to break 85. This is exactly where I am at.

[@homerj2629]

Love your videos Liam! Every time I watch I can't wait to get out on the course (26 handicapper).

[@simonthorpe6971]

shot scope, I want your watch! Seriously, your vlogs are getting better and better. Just a great watch now, love these course management vlogs, so helpful for a mid handicap golfer

[@davidmcbridethegolfinggame3359]

My mate Liam shouted out to me! I learned how to get out of bunkers Liam! Got out of every one on my UK trip this summer. 😊 love you Liam can’t wait to see you in January.

[@LeodeSousa]

I hit my 5 wood 190 yds. Great video Liam. Say hi to Simon Payne for me! Well done Liam on the round!

[@Winnie-2609]

You know Liam has had a few bad shots when he says " This is real golf!" Love the video. Well done Liam. Brilliant.

[@user-sy7nw1no8z]

Shotscope I want your watch. Another great video showing that you don’t need to be able to hit 300yd drives to have a decent score

[@donfinlay5961]

Shot Scope. I want your Watch. Well played, Liam. As you said, "This is a real Video.......I'm not a Pro, ........I'm fighting my Swing......I'm fighting the Wind....." Still shot -4, to what you were intending. Great effort. Thanks.

[@sub80golf]

Great video Liam. It’s really interesting to see you try these concepts. Pretty sure keeping your longest club at 200y has kept you out of trouble. Keep it up

[@smudgie62]

Thought I'd give you the "like and thumbs up" for the birdie on the 6th hole, I hit my 5-wood 195 yds (on a good day). Shot Scope I want your watch. Thanks Liam great video as always, and enjoying these break 85 vid's 👍

[@aarongodly]

I hit 7 wood about 190 with a good hit but just bought a 5 wood to give me that extra bit as 7 wood goes quite high! Great video!

[@stuartmclaren9795]

Shotscope I want your watch , that was terrific play not easy keeping your concentration for 18 holes, respect to you Liam 👏

[@RayHabyan]

Liam, it's great to see you hitting your irons irons so well. The Tacomas look like a good alternative to the expensive ones. Keep up the great work and I want your watch.

[@micko2007]

Well done Liam, great example of how to break 85 with no woods...must say that your short game is better than an average player trying to break 85 though. Very enjoyable...

[@chadmartin4394]

Shot scope, I want your watch! 😁 5 iron (on a good day) ~ 180. Discovered this channel today. Loving it!

[@Smipod]

This is real golf Liam. Great work mate. I hit my hybrid 190 yards! Shot Scope I want your watch

[@G1ngerNinja]

Absolutely class and apt as I'm playing Bentham next weekend for a long weekend 3 rounds staying over Friday and Saturday. Plus driver isn't my friend right now, so 4 iron is my club at present and I hit it between 180 and190 depending on contact. But usually with a massive fade not a slice as it starts straight and goes right towards the middle/end of flight. Thanks Liam proves you don't need to be a big hitter to get a decent score. BTW I play off 27.6 at the min.

[@topgunbass]

One of the better rounds I've seen you play. Fantastic.

[@NickTaylor-dy6ol]

Shotscope I want your watch. Liam that was a fantastic constructed video showing the good and bad in tough conditions well done pal

[@tonygodwin3319]

We have a 3 club comp at our course and I can score close to 36 points stableford because it makes you think and plan, just like Liam was doing in that round. Well played Liam, a great exhibition in thinking and planning…..without the help of Mr B’s course management book 😂. I hit 4 hybrid 180 and 5 wood 200.

[@GaryRyan-zc3sc]

Great video Liam. I’m a 28 handicap but watching this will hopefully improve my game. GIVE ME YOUR BALLS !!

[@jamestaylor6072]

After watching you do this before I left my driver at home and came in with better score. Great video. I want your watch.

[@stephenmartinez4757]

Well done, Liam! The elements weren't helping but you made it through. Shot Scope I want the watch.

[@ryandown4426]

Shot scope I want your watch - definitely need to try this as it would actually take ego out of the game instead of hitting my driver everywhere

[@neilporter7417]

Great video Liam. These videos are always good to watch with you concentrating and with a target. You always give some great tips on videos like this so I will be watching this one again and try to take some of what you said on board - especially to do with keeping the good vibes going. The reality of golf is good to watch too - makes me (and I am sure a lote more people) feel normal lol. Well played and keep up the great work. Shot Scope I want your watch...

[@ColinDyke]

Shotscope I want your watch, fantastic round Liam in those conditions on a tricky course,we can learn so much from your course management.

[@martinstreader3328]

Love this Liam. Completely agree- what a great video of real golf. Shotscope I want your watch. I want your Seed balls. Given me a lot of food for thought. Thanks.

[@paulthomson3151]

Shot Scope I want your watch. Another great video. I’m going to ditch my slicing driver and use a 5 wood, which I hit straight, on my next round.

[@nim3od]

When you are a high handicapper (me) the difference in scoring is so often the short game. Liam you are so right when you feel that you are 'hacking' the ball up the fairway but making up plenty of shots with a very good putting display. Shot scope l would like your watch please (sorry but I cannot bring myself to write 'I want' as I taught my kids that it was an impolite way to ask for things).

[@Craigwatkiss86]

Superb video yet again. I keep telling myself I'm going to try this one day. I've started to play to the back of the green which has helped loads so thanks for that one. Shot scope I want your watch. Great golf matie

[@geoff114]

Damn fine playing there Liam. Not easy conditions and ended up with 80. Top work Lad!

[@x3ndr0]

Liam, what a round to be proud off! Congrats!!! that wind was blowing... Like Mr. Barlow would have said: "Can't you see the wind?" 😁. Shotscope, my 190 yard club is my 3 wood. And SEED, give me your balls :P

[@gradeec5532]

Liam...fantastic video...in particular love your short game...something essential for me. I'm 70 this year and in remission from lung cancer from last year...sadly following all the procedures i've lost my distance so essential my short game is on the mark...i currently have a 10.7 GA handicap and to answer your question the best i can do at 190 yds or 175m is my driver...i would love to win your shotscope prize...however i love following your channel...cheers Graham

[@AlanBolshevik]

Great round - you fought your way back from that rough patch really well

[@robertreilly5221]

I hit my 4 hybrid 190. It shows that course management is more important than power. If you can map your way around the course you will score well.

[@Jerry-rw9xn]

Shot scope I want your watch ..... great video nice to see you get on the green and not in the pond . I've said before I only use irons my handicap is 16. I have been as low as 15 , but I've kept it at 16 for two years so i'm quite happy ..

[@andrewbrodie308]

Shotscope I want your watch. Videos like this are fab. Really makes you think about course management and where to focus your practice! Top work Liam and team

[@NickTaylor-dy6ol]

I want your seed balls It was real golf no gimmicks just you the wind keep it going buddy love it 👍👍

[@johncoyne6823]

I felt the relief for you with that last 4 iron onto the green, great video Liam, well played. Shot scope I want your watch.

[@markwarner274]

Great vid Liam and appreciate more like this. Proof that good course management and playing within yourself really pays off. Shotscope I want your watch

[@peterburrows3864]

Really good info - shows us non big hitters should be able to get reasonable scores. Whilst waiting for your new videos I am working my way through your back catalogue. You can see how far you have come. Great quality and a shout out to the guys behind the camera ( not just the stars😄) which I have been meaning to comment on. Not quite sure how Liam has managed to have more hair! Mines gone! Shotscope I want your watch.

[@henrymartin3169]

Superb yet again You actually played to your 9 handicap 👍👍👍 Shotscope I want your watch Seed I want your golf balls Well played Liam👏👏👏

[@benfisher4885]

Shotscope I want your watch My handicap is on the up right now but videos like this really help.

[@davidhollins4553]

It’s taught me that keeping it in play is everything. Shot scope I want your watch

[@sham_rock_fitness5721]

Another great video Liam. Very insightful on how you can get around a course without bombing it 👍🏻 Shotscope I want your watch

[@gordonskinner6400]

Great video, I’ll try this the next time I play at home, definitely a great example of making like easier.

[@mrkipling3841]

Brilliant effort mate. I know you have loads of guests on but I really enjoyed this. Just you and a camera, like the old days but without the swearing 🤣😂

[@TheBeastKratos]

I hit my 5 iron 190 , shot scope I want your watch , the editing of the videos lately is great 👍🏼

[@brubeck67]

Been watching you more and more of late, really good content. Loving the break 90, 85, 80 videos! Like you, I'm hitting 4 iron 190 shotscope 😉😉

[@tonyg2009]

Really good video Liam and team. Good scoring

[@stephenmassey5144]

Shot scope I want your watch! Good educational video Liam. I like how you talk through your shot process.

[@user-nb3kq2zg2x]

It’s good to watch these clips and see that you’ve not got to try and smash the ball off the tees to make good scores. It’s all about being confident round the green and putting.👌🏻🏌🏻‍♂️

[@Ravens6719]

I hit a 4 iron or 5 wood depending on the wind at 190 yards. Great video Liam!

[@reesek30]

Videos like this make me want to go play on my own! Cheers Liam :D SHOT SCOPE, I WANT YOUR WATCH.

[@edski26]

Great round Liam. I’m 77 and would hit driver for 195 yds.

[@sloth8122]

I’ve had a bad back now for 3weeks 😩😫😭 No Golf and it’s killing me.. Can’t wait to get back on the course ⛳️

[@matthewemoore3879]

Well played Liam, great education. I hit my 4 iron 190yrds, Great play shot scope, seed give us your balls.

[@kimberlj01]

Great content. Your career best came off from not over thinking the shot. I want your watch and give us your ball.
