I've said it before, and I'll keep repeating it....... This sort of content is KZbin gold. The more of this type of behind the scenes videos you can put out the better the channel is. It's unique stuff, and if you can expand it I'm positive the subs will increase. Thanks for the video, brilliant content.

[@David-t8g8h]

Love it. Thanks

[@cdextercraig8348]

Great work Dan, very enjoyable and informative show. This your element, and what sets you apart from the other channels. Would love tee more videos of this type/subject. Cheers

[@grahamparkyn1590]

Brilliant vlog of our club, thank you Dan so much, the content you showcased was first class….

[@jonstevenson3215]

The course has the potential be one of the best links in the country. Really good insight, thanks Dan.

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Excellent video, Dan. Always Always love the behind the scenes of a golf course. We golfers take these course designs and management for granted, not realizing the work that actually goes into keeping the course looking and playing up to its potential. Kudos to Nathan for spearheading the improvements, and good luck to making the actual changes. Parrenporth is definitely a cours I want to play. Cheers.

[@duncanstephenson553]

Very interesting Dan some real insights .I love it when you do these sort of vids

[@loutennant99]

That was excellent, well done

[@chrisbullen7460]

Enjoyable video, fascinating /interesting to listen to 👍

[@kierantracey3286]

Very entertaining and very insightful , really enjoyable 😊. Great vlog , thanks

[@mikemcgowan1]

Nice vid Dan. Good bit of a "behind the scenes" hearing discussions about the course and plans for the future

[@devonboygonenative6683]

Fascinating insight to yet another aspect of golf Dan.

[@charliegee9933]

Great SMS Dan 👍 very interesting hearing about the intricacies of golf course management. Can’t beat a bit of Nerdy Golf Content haha

[@Stephenpettitt198]

I like the way you introduced Tim Lobb with footage of him playing a bump and run

[@jeffbloodworth7293]

I enjoyed seeing a side of golf course management and maintenance I not normally thinking about. Great insight Dan.

[@JoshFenton]

Dan this was an excellent video. Thanks for giving us insight into the work that goes on behind the scenes. Excited to see how the adaptions unfold at Perranporth!

[@everydaygolfer6483]

G'Day Dan, inching ever closer to 50k subs, after all the free content over the years ,I'm now on a mission to spread the word. All Good Mate. Look out 50k .

[@joeperez3520]

Always a treat to see an "insights" video about just what makes a golf course "tick."

[@joecook8352]

Really interesting to hear the problems and potential fixes and improvements from the architect and consultant, I would really love to get the chance one day to travel to the UK and play some beautiful links courses, thanks Dan for letting me experience it through your vlogs, this is as close as I’ll probably get

[@pan0568]

Perranporth is so unique in integrating the natural contours of its extraordinary landscape without manipulating them. I hope any changes don't mess with this, as it will weaken the character of the course. If it is a question of senior players not able to clear certain elements, I hope they opt for extra tee boxes rather than changing the natural shape of the dunes. Fascinating Sunday Show, as it is a course I play regularly and probably my favourite in Cornwall.

[@grahamparkyn1590]

@pan0568. Have no fear, we are not going to be ripping out dunes, its the flow of the course, i.e. the paths are the main changes…

[@stuartgillett8139]

This if fabulous Dan and delighted to have been able to contribute.

[@Coinhunter-km4qo]

Wonderful insights into the care and maintenance of a special course like Perranporth. Here in the States quite a few courses tried those black rubber mats and exactly the same thing happened, it killed the grass the weeds flourished. Best wishes to Nate on his plans for this gem of a course.

[@davidpollard3921]

Dan this type of video is excellent and what you excel at doing.It was entertaining and massively informative so one of your best.

[@jamesgregory12]

Really interesting to look at course ideas from all the different stakeholders perspectives. Loved this, great work! Thanks Dan!👍🏼

[@MarkPressdee]

Unique content and another enjoyable film. I really appreciate the courses you choose to play.

[@MrTitleist]

They was really good Dan. Thanks for showing what goes into course work behind the scenes.

[@andrewjohnston5942]

Fascinating. Just love videos like this.

[@mattchapman65]

What a truly great video Dan. This gives a terrific insight into the aspect's of work that happen at golf courses. That us club members really underappreciate. I played Perranporth GC 3 weeks ago and it was a joy to play

[@owencake769]

This is you at your best you are very good at this sort of vlog no one else does this brilliant dan brilliant

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Thanks Owen, sampled the wine 🍷 last night 👌 thank you 🙏

[@stuartmcinnes2903]

Great video Dan. This is the kind of input we need at Lanark. Got to find pretty much 30 yds a hole to get Open qualifying back with no room to gain much more than 150 or so for the whole course by my untrained eye. Great shot into the sunset with the dog at the end btw, but you already know that.

[@VerityEddy-ov9nz]

Loved that Dan really interesting 👌

[@nicknick6788]

I really enjoy these behind the scenes videos. Keep up the good work

[@simonhutt6424]

Great stuff Dan. Very interesting to hear the different perspectives

[@rowdyroddy519]

I agree with maintaining the fescue turf and keeping the integrity of the course, and all the points made to improve wear in high traffic areas, and also making a few changes like tee box improvements discussed. I dislike those rubber turf grids too. There was a product called "crumb rubber" that was like a topdressing that was used years ago for the same purpose in high traffic areas. Not sure how it worked years down the road though. Sound like they have a good plan so far. Good video Dan.

[@craig3775]

Well done Dan, really enjoyed that and highlights the unique aspects of linksland

[@richardgash2349]

Very interesting thank you for sharing

[@rossybricky1367]

Excellent insight into the problems faced by greenkeepers and club management, by something us mere golfers would not really think too much of whilst being consumed by our own game . Well done Dan ,anther good watch 👌

[@micksimpson2727]

Great show Dan love Perranporth

[@clipper7075]

Great video on a perspective with which I am unfamiliar.

[@trevecchi1766]

One of your best

[@brianhedges6877]

Another well thought out show. I’d love to see similar for woodland / parkland / heathland courses. Very interesting.

[@simonwalker1611]

Very interesting show Dan👍

[@stevecox4978]

Great video Dan! Be careful because you will get complaints about featuring Perranporth again. However, as one of the vociferous minority of members I am excited by the efforts Nathan and Rob are making to move the club forward. It is unique and we love it for that. Great photography! Well done!

[@grahamparkyn1590]

Vociferous…..you……dont believe it Coxie😂

[@VonTwinzig]

Super interesting video, Dan. Would love to see a couple of follow-ups showing the work that developed off this. More content like this please. It’s pretty unique content.

[@dancarey9495]

Very entertaining 👏

[@kevmoore2148]

Morning all

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Morning Lad

[@norwegianwarhound451]

Being from the states, I found this very interesting. Hoping some day I’ll get the opportunity to play a true links. Great content!

[@davidballard9781]

Absolutely love these sort of videos Dan I’m like you I’m always interested in what’s going on around the course also what plans are in the works if any. And as was said in this video there can be lots of subtle changes that just improve things. I also understand that when you’ve got natural ground like there it can be a bit more difficult and that’s why you use the pros

[@brads19bradshaw96]

great video very interesting keep um coming 👍

[@kevmoore2148]

It's like golf nerd heaven the sms 😂😂.... Loved it mate 👍

[@markr77uk]

Good insight. Can understand why would want paths hidden but on course like this paths could also be used as an aid for where to aim so could be useful?

[@charlesm783]

Great to have the Sunday morning show back. Really enjoyed the insight you brought to course maintenance and design. Would love to have more of these. Please please can we get away from gender stereotyping tees. We should encourage people to think of tees as indication of suitable by challenge by distance/length or by handicap. Golf should be about having fun while being challenging. The game is difficult enough without making it grim off the tee. Personally I try to rotate the tees I use to give me a great perspective of a course and would encourage more golfers to do the same.

[@billdunlop8683]

What a beautiful golf course, I think I may have been born in the wrong Country when it comes to classic links courses, I must be weird because I would love to battle that course in rain and a strong wind just to see how my game stands up to that courses challenges.

[@jackpearson7262]

Following your last few videos I booked a 3 ball at Perranporth at the end of May. I guess I'm not the only one so I hope you got a few free rounds of them!!!!

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Don’t worry Jack, golf clubs like Perranporth look after me 👍

[@timackland5411]

The challenge of getting people round the course has become a huge challenge this winter. Quite often these areas shut courses not the playing surfaces. We must all be patient and understanding.

[@beachfraser3747]

Great insight into the workings of course development, my club needs this but our Club Owner(Farmer) by trade isnt to keen on spending, short sighted in my opinion, Ive always , business wise, invested in my business, but it was very interesting to see the ideas and thoughts that go into a golf courses progree, Nathan is very good at his job, regards

[@mervynhayes2229]

Great to see you spending time with the family rather than us!!!

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Hi Mervyn, hope your well mate

[@martynmurfitt-wrather7555]

Interesting video & great to see/hear the ideas from all involved. Clubs need to be prepared to adapt their courses to get the best out of them for the membership that part with large sums of money for their yearly fees - sadly, the ability to listen is not something that I see locally ..!

[@streamleazefishhouse]

Is the chap on the 19:00 wearing a Cleeve Hill hat?

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Yes 👍

[@garysmith6994]

Hard work watching this but got through it out of loyalty to the channel,and wondering if you actually read all the channel comments or just press like 👍 Dan (no disrespect intended)love everything you do

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

I read all the comments Gary, I generally thumbs up 👍 to show that I have read them other than to just agree with comments, I generally don’t thumb up if I disagree or people are being disrespectful to the video or people on it

[@garysmith6994]

@@DanHendriksenGolf thanks mate

[@robinc3307]

I hear a lot about having more tees ....in fact at our club they seem obsessed with it....yet in my experience a lot of the players they are aimed at don't want to use them....as soon as the back tees are open everyone wants to play from them....new forward tees ....look like they are never used

[@arnokamphuis]

Love the video! But I still can't understand why you guys keep talking about "Ladies tees"???? They are just forward tees. Many, many men should play from the forward tees to make the game much more enjoyable.

[@Betheball1966]

can u do one of these on colt courses. my club is sooooo afraid of change

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Just show them this video

[@paulmcgee1867]

Don’t these rubberised paths also get very slippery ?

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Not really these ones I was talking about, but others do 👍

[@trevecchi1766]

I was wondering how they were going to pay for this but I see they’ve put the green fee up to £70. That’s expensive for Cornwall.

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

I’m pretty sure it’s in keeping with the other links courses in Cornwall?

[@grahamparkyn1590]

St Enodoc and Trevose are more expensive we are £10 more than Newquay and West Cornwall

[@russellfothergill9082]

Interesting to hear Paul’s thoughts on Lottie Woad as he lost to her in Sunningdale 4s didn’t he? She seems to have a superb game and great temperament

[@johnnyioannou6933]

👌

[@TheShropford]

A British family playing american football on a British beach??? Heathens!!! Til then it was => great content...

[@chrislewis7]

At one point you're talking about older players not being able to teach the fairway and then you talk about having a ladies forward tee charging the par 4 to par 3. We need to stop talking about men's and women's tees. We need to completely change how golfers refer to tees. Everyone should just be playing their appropriate tees.

[@grahamparkyn1590]

I completely agree with you…..

[@jaypeegolf]

What was the name of the ‘legacy golf advisor’? Not the architect, the other guy with the Cleeve Hill hat.

[@VerityEddy-ov9nz]

Not yours mate haha

[@oldgippersuk3887]

Another top SMS Dan. Very interesting, but also important in that it shows the playing public more of what goes into maintaining and improving a golf course. As businesses, all golf clubs have to make a profit and investment is a vital part of that. Videos like this can only help us understand the financial demands of running a golf club and hopefully make us appreciate where some of our money goes. We all wish green fees and memberships were cheaper, but this perhaps will go some way to tempering the annoyance relating to prices.
