Great to see Simon back on the channel he's a class act

If Barlow ever gave a compliment to someone other than himself, I think he'd get lock jaw before the words came out.

[@markdarragh7697]

My home course & have to say, Ivor is doing a fantastic job for the club. Great guy 👍👍 Hope the golfmates enjoyed it. 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

[@Warnedog]

I wish simon could be part of every video, proper gent, enjoy watching him play, can see he just loves the game

[@davedowsett5345]

That ‘scoopy woopy’ on the last hole was the best ever on Golf Mates. Well done Iver for bringing a course back from the brink. Ace !!!

[@simonmackness403]

Good luck to Ivor, that's what golf clubs need - someone with passion and that wants to build a community.

[@manfromthetoon]

Fantastic course, hidden gem and what a game you gave us well done to you all but special thanks to iver or Ivan lol for hosting and participating in this game

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

Ivor is a brilliant golf club manager. Engages with everyone and could not do anything more to make you more welcome at the club and is leading Gracehill back to great things. Keep it up Ivor. We will back up there soon.

[@GolfMates]

Ivor the engine - superb. Just like a slim Pablo Zabaleta

[@TheEnLighteN1]

I'm a member and can safely say the work Ivor has carried out in particular over the past two years has transformed this great course and elevated it to new heights. If you are considering booking do not hesitate as this is a great course.

[@peterburrows3864]

Lovely course Iver seems like a top genuine bloke and not bad golfer! Great to see Simon back on the channel he is so positive - the antithesis of Mr Barlow the pantomime villain. Having caught up with the hidden gems playlists I can’t wait to see what you have in store and what you been hinting about this round. Please do not make me wait too long…. Shout out to the guys behind the camera and production. Always looking forward to the next video.

[@robharrison6918]

The scoop dog is back 😂. Has Dave got a replacement Omega yet? I want to play Grace Hill Golf Club. Looks great. 👍

[@MrJimimac77]

Another hidden gem. I love Northern Ireland

[@TalladSirhc]

I played this course every summer on the Moyle Cup junior comps between 4 clubs on the north coast and we always regarded it as the most fun course to play out of the 4, was always in good nick back then, but that was a good 20 years ago, didnt play it again until a couple weeks back when i played with my dad, and it was again a super fun round, so no idea what this 'bad condition' period was like, but hopefully it keeps up as it is because its always a course i recommend to mates to play.

[@creamoftheklopp1411]

Ivor is some chap. Best thing to happen the course in years. Best parkland course in the country imo and it's right beside the famous dark hedges to boot

[@Colerainetrueblues]

I want to come to Gracehill Great video

[@ianmcmillan2634]

Wonderful video Golf Mates team. Wonderful to my countryman back on the channel. Also lovely to meet Iver. Keen to see him play when he's had a few more rounds.

[@daveross4273]

Nice to see Simon again and he still hits a mean driver. Mr Barlow what a legend, I'm amazed he can get anyones name right 😂. Top video as ever from the support team 👏. Keep up the great work.

"I want to play Grace Hill"! Ivor seem like a great Mate with a real vision and a course that looks awesome. I wish him all the luck in the world and great success. I hope someday to get there to play and meet him. It is great to see Simon again striking the ball beautifully as always - and those shoes! Can't wait to see the Hidden Gems you keep teasing about. Cheers

Loved it. Great fun. Can’t wait for the Hidden Gems. Banter is flowing like a river. Great to have Simon back and Ivan was a fantastic sport. Big 👍

[@gerrywray42]

Liam, "I want to come to Gracehill." I'm a Ballymena native living in California for the last 20years but visit home nearly every year. I took up golf in 2020 and have followed your channel since then. Great to see Simon in Ballymena and hopefully I can play with my brother from Perth, as we both visit home at the same time.

[@GolfMates]

That. Be cool if you did

[@tonygodwin3319]

Great surprise to see Simon, always a joy to see him on here but good golf played by all. And well done Ivor, I’m sure all your members appreciate your efforts.

[@petermaher5156]

Well done Liam. Great video highlighting another good looking course but also recognising the efforts of Iver to gett the course and the club back to former glory. Added bonus was the unexpected presence of Simon Payne - fantastic to see him back on the channel. Can't wait for the hidden gems series from Ireland.
