ABOUT ME:
I’m Liam Harrison, Bolton born and bred. I’m a lover of Golf, life and laughter.
Started Golf 12 years ago after packing in football when i was 28 due to a back injury.
I started the KZbin channel as a laugh and a Wim, to make me practice but that went out the window as i started vlogging, loving being on camera but more so the interaction with my #golfmates.
In 14 months i have seen the channel evolve and become the only real golf community on KZbin which i am extremly proud of.
I would like to thank all the #golfmates that have been with us and supported us and the channel from the start. Also not forgetting our new #golfmates that may have only just come across the channel.

[@richardsmith825]

Great day and lots of valuable advise. Thanks liam. Really gonna practice hard and have a lesson on Tuesday to brush up on a few things. Awesome.

[@michaelrooke5077]

Richard Smith keep at it mate!! By the looks of it you’ll drop below 100 in no time! I was similar... still hit around 100 but went out and shot an 88 gross PB!! Since then I’ve seen a massive improvement in my game...

[@darrensturman2168]

Your smash it rich great swing pal keep it up buddy 😃👍👊👏

[@simonreed89]

Well done mate, brilliant vid! Impressive play and you now seem like a bunker pro from liams advice

[@lgnir]

Rich, the biggest thing I see, and I do not know if your back is causing this or not, but your abbreviated backswing is costing you a lot of distance, and possibly some accuracy on hitting the club face square. However, if it is your back responsible for that, one on the best things you can do is just work on your tempo. You'll be straightening it out in no time. One of the biggest things that get in the way of good play by us amateur golfers is our ego. Most amateur golfers will hit their 3 wood as long, or almost as long as their driver, but with a lot greater accuracy. However, we just can't seem to do it when our mates are pulling out driver all the time. Whenever I have struggles with the driver, I leave it at home so I do not use it and am forced to use my 3 wood all day. I may not be as long as my mates, but my ball is almost always in play! Good luck Golfmate!

[@brotherfranco2625]

Will be under 100 in no time at all looking at that Mr Smith.

[@johnhamilton5392]

By far Liam, this is the best youtube vlogs out there, down to earth real every day #golfmates doing what they love to do. Yes some are exceptional golfers, young and old, but there are a lot of us old chaps out there playing loving the game scoring in the 90's and 100's! Like you said, "Life is Life" and no one died! We all need advise at one time or another and I like your devotion helping your fellow #golfmates! Cheers! Wishing you the best Mr. Smith with your golfing!

[@davidsimmons6906]

Great to see Mr Smith on camera #Golfmate. Top European Tour Caddy earnt his fiver today. 👍🇵🇹

[@richardsmith825]

David Simmons cheers David

[@bennythepitbull8421]

Haha 👌🏻☝🏻 that killed me David, I'd forgotten about that. Richard - You've got a pretty solid swing considering you haven't got an official handicap pal. Fair Play, keep at it rich.

[@shawtop]

@@bennythepitbull8421 I agree with you there

[@derekga6973]

Does anyone else think a big lad like this with back trouble who can generate power with a short swift swing would really benefit from a set of regular graphite shaft cavity back clubs to make life easier on him and help with them slappy strikes, Good luck with your future targets Richard I’m sure you’ll hit your goals with the right help, great video Liam I love this series of episodes it’s a great watch.

[@dandemann123]

Love these 100 breakers, we’ve all been there Mr Smith, I’m sure you’ve broken 100 by now and lowered your handicap 👍

[@leeclift1926]

great video Liam,, I have no doubt Rich, and most us watching this, will break 100 watching his next video & the great advice given, cheers fella

[@colinsmith9130]

From one Mr Smith to another I am in the same situation as you. Bunker shots are the bane of my life. In front of the camera did very well.

[@dannyalexander7381]

I really respect someone who will put themselves out there on camera for the world to see, hang in there big man one shot at a time forget the last one and have fun !!!!

[@richardsmith825]

Danny Alexander thank you

[@davidpollard3921]

Richard is a great bloke and he will break 100 no problem, even with Liam caddying !! Great to see the Golfmates community working

[@richardsmith825]

Thank you

[@chrispinn4189]

Don't stop playing because the weather get's bad, use the time wisely and practice, practice, practice. Good starting point to get down to an 18 handicap within 1 year.

[@davewatts7444]

First things first, Mr Smith is a hero to go on camera and lay bare his soul. If he keeps that back swing, use a 3 wood it will stop that pull left and good luck big man

[@richardsmith825]

dave watts thank you mate

[@scottanderton5577]

Well done mr Smith. Slowing down your swing helps alot, tell yourself when you walk to the tee "nice and easy" a few times and it will give you that little bit more confidence

[@rael1999]

Hey Rich all the best fella. Try slowing your swing down and getting a smoother action. At the moment you're tending to snatch at the ball at the last minute, and that last minute change in swing speed is pushing you off balance and off line. Slow everything down and don't be frightened of pausing at the top of your swing so you get a more deliberate and controlled downward swing. Get out once a week and practice for 1-2 hours because you can't change your game on the course. Practice is something we don't do enough and I'm certainly guilty of that. Good luck, I'm sure you'll be pushing to break 100 hundred real soon.

[@Blackaveragegolfers]

I just want to say that I for the first time ever yesterday I broke 100 with a 99 (handicap 28) 😁😁😁 at cleckheaton and district golf club which I must say is a beautifully amazing place to play. I did this purely due to watching, you (liam) and O.M.Ps traffic light system so it really works.

[@fromjarrod]

That’s really nice of you to help the lads out, I pick up tricks often watching you guys. OMP is the wizard still

[@matthewgoetz82]

Love your videos like this where you help average golfers. Keep ‘em coming!

[@toonlad4091]

I broke 100 yesterday....in fact 90 with one simple method. Course management, keeping out of danger by using 5 iron off the tee, lining up and practice swinging before shots. Super chuffed!!!!!

[@emmaleitch207]

Excellent at the tuition Liam. If you only charge a Fiver can I book 10 lessons!!

[@kcs05]

Thank you, Richard, for showing your game (and mine) to the world. This was a great video and I learned a lot. Hopeful I also can use this to break 100.

[@richardsmith825]

Keven Smith good luck keven

[@keithharris6442]

Well done Rich and Liam. Knowing Rich as I do, he beats himself up like he did on the golf day, he was worried he let me down. That's one reason he struggled that day. Another is club selection as Liam highlighted so well. I showed him how to use the core better, he does get wristy, but that is because of his back. Brilliant stuff Liam, I'm going to have a game with Rich in the next few weeks, hopefully before he sees you next time. I'll show him better club selection like you did here. I'll just play with 6 iron 8 iron and a few wedges and putter to show him we don't always need driver etc to break 100. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before Rich is shooting in low 90s. He just needs that go to shot we all have with experience and believe. Well done lads.

[@richardsmith825]

Keith Harris cheers Keith

[@scottgillen5760]

Good video. It’s nice to see someone help just because they want too. Your a good man .

[@granthodges9860]

I see a lot of myself in you Richard and I’ve been playing for 40 years and I’m doing well to go around in 90. It’s taken me this long to make better club selections as per Liams advice to you and I’m improving more now due to more emphasis on course management. Good luck and you’ll break 100 no worries. Well done Liam as well.

[@richardsmith825]

Grant Hodges thank you I’m going to really try with the great advise

[@jimmack6744]

I believe you're right about course management and thinking about the shot. He also gets a bit quick like I do on the swing. I can't wait to see his round in a few weeks.

[@tonykeogh6139]

Great advice. Getting close to breaking 100 myself and using these ideas.

[@FreeTech]

Tell you what Rich, it's not easy when being watched but hats off to ya there. I think try to stick to your shorter clubs from 6 iron upwards. You will be surprised that you would probably get more distance from a clean hit on a 7 iron than a shakey 4 iron shot. Your short game looks pretty good, it seems to be the longer game that's affecting you. Play for bogey on every hole so you don't feel the need to smash it then you will break 100 no problem guaranteed. Another thing that helped me is try not to hit hard. You actually get more distance from a smooth controlled swing. So no smashing it lol. Could even try playing a round with half or 3 quarter swing.

[@richardsmith825]

Free Tech thank you

[@trumbulldefensellc6487]

It’s not easy being watched, but it may force you to concentrate more.

[@garywalk1969]

Got to love this golfing community you've made Liam. Fingers crossed and best of luck goes to Mr Smith. Biggest problem with playing golf No.1 Your mind playing games with you and followed by No.2 Trying to play like anyone else but themselves. #golfmates

[@ggaspord]

Awesome Rich! An inspiration and great comments Liam.

[@davidleigh2573]

Mr Smith did well. Liam Harrison sports psychologist. My tip.. hit the shot you know that you can make and not the one that you think that you can. Have a good weekend. Cheers and thanks Golfmate.

[@mattihelenius2]

gl rich!!! hope ya break 100 soon mate :)

[@simonreed89]

Brilliant new videos with the golf mates!! Keep em coming!!

[@gallinho7268]

Seems like a lovely fella! I think he’s coming up out his posture too early but that might be him compensating for his bad back. If he could stay down through impact and maybe slow his swing down a bit he could break 100 easy. It’s all about getting rid of the wild shots, if u can keep it on the golf course you’re scores will improve dramatically. Good luck #golfmate

[@chris881989]

Great vlog loving this page. my golf is just the same. i am a handicap 28 and the best thing i have learnt is to slow the back swing down, take your time and always try and plan your next shot. good luck in lowering your handicap Richard things can only get better.

[@chrislamb2427]

if Big Rich learns to get his lower body engaged, there is no telling how much further he can hit all of his clubs, he seems to have a great disposition, like a gentle giant, I would love to play with a mate like him everyday! I am sure he will break 100 soon and maybe even get to the 80's, he has enough athletic ability that he should be able to do that as well IMHO, great video and love to see these types of videos

[@richardsmith825]

Chris Lamb thank you mate appreciate that

[@tommadaj1533]

Nice of you Liam to help fellow golfmates

[@glennwisse6271]

Mr. smith. I am positive you can easily break 100 and even 90 and even 80. You seem to be physically capable. Number one thing is stop coming over the top. Every shot that goes left is over the top. Fix that and your off to the races mate. You just have to start there. Then you can go on. I know you can do it. GOOD LUCK!!

[@darrensturman2168]

[@casper79100]

Keep it up rich great bloke was in same four ball when I came to golfvlogs golf day in may I'm trying to break 90 this year

[@fastbusiness]

The lowest score I've ever shot was one when every time I grabbed a driver I put it back and used a 3 metal instead. There's a great advantage to hitting your second shot from the fairway. A hard lesson to learn.

[@jonathanperry2678]

Gr8 video again Liam.. My 1st impressions would b for Mr Smith to work on tempo off swing. Hopefully the lesson your planning 2 take next wk will help with that!!!!!

[@kevincranfield2471]

Best thing I have introduced to my game is using my 5 hybrid (rescue) on all shots just off the green. Once you get get used to how soft you need to hit it no miss hits and if you open club face you even get a bit if check :)

[@linski561]

Regarding bunkers it seemed as though Rich dug only his heals down . So weight is on the heals almost entirely, and have the ball further forward to help you hit the sand first. Good luck pal and another great video Liam.

[@richardsmith825]

linski561 thank you

[@croozer30ify]

Great video, not being really flexible I started using a closed stance to help with turn. This might be something Mr.Smith might want to try.

[@Digital_Photog1995]

Great advise for any golfer, course management.

[@robsmith8862]

Great video guys. Mr Smith...lovely guy and from what we’ve seen it will be easy. Something I found helpful for putting, try to visualise another hole 18inches begins the actual hole. Ideal pace of putt is beyond the hole. Best of luck golf mate. 👍🏻

[@rosscraddock6241]

Alignment sticks for Mr Smith. Line up like he is aiming at a flag and then put the sticks across his feet, I think you will find he aims right naturally and that’s why he pulls the driver left because of over compensation. 90% of the time is right hand side with irons from the fairway because it’s more relaxed, I used to do it, always felt I was aiming straight but was a long way right.

[@paulpallister5843]

Hi Liam down to earth golf,, I'm from York but now living in North Devon been here for 26 years have a good day

[@jonglendye2589]

Positive thoughts on EVERY swing...I don't care if you're 5 off the tee after carving two OB...THIS is the only shot that matters...One swing won't ruin your day with a 20+ handicap, but one swing can lift your spirits and bring you back for more! Save the math for later!! At the end of the day, if you love the game, it'll love you back (sometimes it's tough love, though!! ) Honestly, save my full head of hair, I thought I was looking in the mirror LOL...Keep at it!!

[@richardsmith825]

Jon Glendye thank you

[@patrickcomiskey538]

Love these videos. Best of luck Rich. My two cents is that your feet alignment is pointing right because you close your club face on impact. Practice makes perfect.👍👍

[@richardsmith825]

Patrick Comiskey thank you

[@AdamH6590]

As I’m a 20 handicapper myself I’m not going to pretend I know what I’m talking about but thinks I’ve learnt in my first year of playing golf and breaking 100 (and 90 once). Is to hit the shot you’re most confident hitting, a nice 150 yard 7 iron is much better than a duffed 120 yard 3/5 wood or long iron. And on holes less than 350 yards don’t hit driver unless it’s nice and wide and you’re swinging well. Most of all try and enjoy it, over 90% of all golfers in the world are high handicappers so don’t worry about it.

[@richardsmith825]

Adam Hepworth thank you

[@grahambell-palmer8418]

really interesting video, I can relate to Mr Smith and got a lot from this! Thanks!!

[@mekan0001]

Those were two very quality shots out of the bunker after just a 30 second tip. Breaking 100 is definitely in the cards. I think if Liam caddies for him and manages the club selection we could see Rick break 100 in no time.

[@richardsmith825]

MeKKan thank you his tips are priceless

[@SandifromMichigan]

Yep, I would say 25 handicap , game looks like mine ,still a 24 ,,,,and loving it! last three outings I shot 95-92-90 by moving to front tees on three different courses..

[@simondale6846]

Mr. Smith, I think your best shots are produced when you get your weight transfering onto the left side through the shot. You have a tendancy to hang back a little and your accuracy suffers a bit. Added bonus youll probably pick up a few yards with more weight transfer!

[@richardsmith825]

Simon Dale thank you appreciate the advise.

[@zakashmore118]

Well done there rich, played some very nice shots. I would personally try and get that belt buckle rotating through towards the target. There's no follow through. Another good one I do is to swing through the ball and not at the ball if that makes sense. You'll break 100 easy Great video Liam

Way to go rich. Cheers mate. Love this channel so much liam you r the best

[@manbearpig7359]

8:37 onwards is the number one biggest issue.....mental demons. Rich has got more than enough basic skills to break 100 regularly, but his brain won't allow him to. I couldn't break 90 for a about 18 months because I would talk myself out of it. If I got a good start it would be "well, it's all gonna go to shit soon" or a bad start..."well, that's my day over". I found I could play well for 3, maybe 4 holes at a time, then the pressure I put on myself to not 'eff up caused mè to 'eff up. So along with some OMP and Golf Sidekick course management tips, I developed my 3 hole strategy. Mentally, I just broke my round down to 6 x 3 hole mini rounds I set a target for the first 3 holes, and then whatever happened I mentally wiped those 3 holes from my brain, and concentrated on reaching/bettering my goal for the next 3....etc, without EVER worrying about my overall score. My handicap over the last 9 months has gone from 27 to 16, and my actual skills have only improved marginally. It's a mental game...

I’m always skeptical when someone says I’m a good chipper. Let’s be honest. Majority amateur golf, strokes are won and lost within 100 yards. And especially inside 50. When I’m teaching my mates to play, I love to start 100 in for a month. Before I put a 5 iron or driver in his or her hand. It just helps their future in golf tremendously. 🥃🥃cheers mate.

Learn your patterns while playing. all off your drives went left so aim up the right side. The next time you play you may not hit it left so aim with what your patterns are that day. Goes for irons as well

Course management. Easier to see it differently when you have experience. But he has a great foundation it's just ironing out the consistency.

Mr. Smith, Liam is a good golf mate.....plus he's good man!!!

[@richardsmith825]

Rocky Stellone he is the best. True gentleman

[@dannybaker4052]

I think if he slowed his swing down and lengthened his back swing that would help alot. Apart from that just a but of course management he should break 100 easily. Keep it up fella 👍

[@ericwood319]

try the mike malaska move tip the shaft at the top gives you automatic low hands

[@BruceBusby]

3 min in: Mr Smith needs to be on camera full time! He's an 8 handicap when being filmed! 5 min: Slow down and lengthen the backswing, use a german to pitch. Final thoughts: Spend hours practicing the sand and putting like "golf sidekick". Sink 10 putts before 1st tee and hear that sweet sound of the ball in the hole. Hands in front of the ball, trust the club loft to deliver, no need to scoop it. Play the OMP's traffic light system. Learn to lay up to your favorite and most reliable yardage to attack the pin from. I didn't notice your putter, hopefully it's a high MOI mallet with good alignment aids. Stripes on the ball for added line and swing clarity. You're a great golfer, be confident and envision great shots one at a time. If you blow a shot, leave it there! Your next shot will be great!
