HOW TO BREAK 80 - this real way

[@GolfMates]

How did I manage to play so badly put still post a decent score? comments below ⬇️⬇️ NEVER GIVE UP! #golfmates 😂

[@BROU-bb2uc]

I'm not good enough to get mad👍

[@craigefc]

You seemed to be rushing around. No practice swings either.

[@larryd4352]

I have had those day more times than I can count! But you just have to keep playing...you never know what is going to happen. Liam...that's what we call "Real Golf!"

[@Crumbleofborg]

Well played! Apart from the golf, obviously.

[@1leef2]

Try give prestwich golf club a go if you can mate? Not a bad little course

[@geoffgrant8187]

On behalf of all golfers everywhere, we salute you...for being human after all.

Need to see Lee playing more, I love watching him play his smooth swing makes it look effortless!

[@GolfMates]

[@gordonfalconer9176]

100yrd chip...."I've got this for a birdie", is the kind of comment I love to hear....optimism the the only way forward! Good job Liam mate!

[@johnhackett8703]

One of the reason I watch and enjoy.. always positive, enthusiastic and encouraging..a 7 handicapper hits bad shots.. who knew ha ha

[@GolfMates]

cheers John

[@graydonargast9322]

Do you realize that nobody would watch Tiger or Jack play that kind of golf for 46 minutes ? But we watch you. You must be loved. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from the States.

[@GolfMates]

thank you

[@welcometoSL]

I generally struggle watching any course vlog that is over 20 minutes long. For this reason I love watching @Not A Scratch Golfer channel for quick relatable course vlog. With that being said this particular vlog was a pleasure to sit through and Liam is so great I may watch it again.

[@suziecorreia7064]

We have all been there Liam. Well done with a positive message!

[@bensanderson1564]

This is one of your best videos yet, Liam. Honest, relatable, and you kept smiling and laughing all the way til the end. You're the most human golfer on KZbin, and we love you for it. And that ending with the cheering crowd made me cheer for you as well. Thank you so much for making these videos - you're a class act through and through! 👍

[@GolfMates]

cheers Ben

[@edmiddleton9046]

Brilliant attitude Liam, love the optimism and lack of moaning when things don't go your way. We can all learn from this!

[@tomlee812]

Real golf...So many things to relate to here. Respect for not quitting or getting annoyed Liam.

[@seegarsmkr]

I love it!! Respect the game, respect the course, always try and get better but never take yourself TOO seriously!! Love this video for the way you talked through it and remained positive!!

[@GolfMates]

so true pal

[@matbrennan2941]

I’ve said before I’m not a golf player!! I’ve watch nearly all your videos and as you say it’s real golf!! Good on you Liam for keeping on playing, most people would have thrown their clubs in a pond and cleared off home. 👏 I think the fact your talking to the golf mates as you play takes a lot of your game away!!! Great video mate, reset and go again. 👍

[@GolfMates]

cheers matt

[@richardbell9656]

I play with golfers whose expectations outweigh their ability. They tend to loose the plot and not enjoy the round. Golf is a game you never crack,every day is different. Just get out there and enjoy it the way you do. Cheers for a good video.

[@GolfMates]

very welcome

[@barriefitzgerald2677]

You summed me up there I only been playing 3 months and get ump coz not 3 under

[@plowe3990]

Well said, I played a round last Sunday in blustery, showery conditions with the chance of breaking 100, till I hit an 11 on the 18! I'll be back out this weekend though trying to win a comp!

[@scottdanter4167]

Thank you so much liam I can’t say how many times I got frustrated with how I was hitting the ball and things not going my way and I just want to thank you for helping me learn a good lesson brilliant mentality all the way round thank you for another brilliant video.

[@stevenwaterhouse9845]

You get to see a real round of golf from a real down to earth bloke, makes you feel good about the game, great videos keep them coming

[@tonykeogh6139]

That was very enjoyable Liam. We can all relate to days when some holes go badly wrong then a birdie on the next.

[@alpistor]

I appreciate your honest vlog. Many KZbin golfers only show their good shots--sometimes their 2nd or 3rd shot. I just had a da like yours, and your vlog made me feel much better. Thanks.

[@GolfMates]

cheers lol

[@johnbaldwin24]

BRILLIANT Liam....I've not laughed so much in ages!!! There's hope. for us all !!! Respect for keeping going mate.

[@matthewharding6245]

I'm so glad I found this channel. This is my experience of golf. Did the same thing myself just last week. Played my best round of +3, handicap cut to 8.3 then next round +17. It was like I'd never held a club before.

[@GolfMates]

Brilliant, well done 👏👏

[@fisherflare]

What a great vlog…loved it, I sooo need to take your mentality to my Sunday game as this is always when it goes wrong.. cheers golf mates 👍🏻

[@andyh6017]

This made me laugh for a number of reasons. I have played / hacked round this wonderful course a couple of times and couldn't recognise it from the video and I cracked up at 36.50 "do you think its left edge?" Brilliant. Subscribed intermediately

[@joebagadonitz]

Really enjoyed this. Would love more like this with yourself or some of the other regulars.

[@scottyh7347]

Keep the channel honest Liam that’s why we watch. Had my worst round yesterday and it’s nice to see everyone has them.

[@GolfMates]

😂👍

[@markmcgrath8952]

Love the attitude!! We all have bad rounds, and you have to have a good sense of humour about it!! Great video!

[@Stelaninja]

Had an similar experience today. Last time I played I had my best round. Today nothing worked. Guess days like these are when you're actually learning and improving. Just keep swinging!

[@GolfMates]

correct, enjoy it

[@bringonbrilliance]

Spot on mate... never give up... there's nothing worse than when a playing partner verbally n visibly gives up... a real bummer for the round. Summer fairways can be cruel mistresses

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely

[@blazecan1894]

Super fun to watch. I never play over 75. Gets any warmer than that, I quit. Love how you protect the courses. Full follow though on the green side bunkers helps. Let's see Lee out there with you more. Thank you for more joy. Keep them coming please.

[@GolfMates]

thanks

[@joannaespley6035]

Your attitude and acceptance of what you're given is an example to all of us.

Brilliant. A longer video. Great to see. Great attitude Liam. Course looks fab. I’ve just played 18 holes 7 over my handicap and should have smiled more. Great game golf ⛳️ wish I could shoot 80🏌🏾‍♂️

[@DerekRoss80]

Really enjoyed that Liam - staying positive and taking the good with the bad is a great lesson. Nice mention for you and Daniel on Dan Hendrikson's Sunday show this morning.

Great video as always Liam, I turned up this morning to my golf club in New Mills, the course was in great condition but the rain was so heavy we had to go home after waiting for a while to see if it eased. Gutted as I was really looking forward to a round - can always rely on golf mates to cheer me up lol 😂

[@GolfMates]

Pity, hope get playing again soon 👍

How you played today is my normal game , lol. Loved watching it.

[@paulbassett886]

Totally agree with Don on repairing pitch marks, i played today and must have repaired at least two others on every green, Liam tell every one it only costs pence for a pitch mark repairer and seconds to do.

[@GolfMates]

we repair loads off camera can be frustrating

[@williambrewer3941]

I know exactly how you feel, the difference is you can putt and it's a rare day for you and the norm for me. Well done mate, I'm sure having laid back Lee with you helps 👍👍

[@johnbaldwin24]

Liam..you are The Duke of Hazard! Great entertainment mate. Keep it going!

[@MONTYHUNT1965]

All joking apart Liam it is something I struggle with when I play poorly. I really do struggle to control my temper. A video on how to do this would be excellent

[@richardllewellyn2633]

Just watching Dan Hendricksen Sunday show and thought it was really classy them sending congratulations to you Liam and Dan.

[@GolfMates]

hes a class act I left a comment thanking them.

We all have days when our swing takes a vacation. But like you said "keep smiling and enjoy the fact you are playing golf." You persevered, well done!

[@jerbs1]

That zoom is amazing! I don't think I've seen it done so well on any other golf channels

[@GolfMates]

Wow, thanks!

[@timhayes6028]

I played with a guy the other day in a club comp. Some proper heads gone moments (shouting, thrashing the grass with his clubs, hitting the ground, pacing round the tee and swearing) from him and without making excuses for my own poor performance they had a negative effect on my game. I would seriously rather not play than play with him again and it ruined my Sunday. Remember no matter how badly you are playing think of the impact on those around you. I have been guilty of this in the past but reigned myself in when a mate had a word with me. Try to realise that no matter how poor I am playing it's still generally better than what I would be doing. I would rather double bogey a short par 3 than put up some shelves or go to Ikea on a Sunday.

[@Labgorilla]

Your path is your own. Bruce Lee.

[@dairoberts7334]

Best video that you have made by a mile. Superb! Many golfers would have thrown their toys (or clubs) out of their pram. Smiles all the way. Well done.

[@GolfMates]

cheers Dad

[@guyr7351]

cracking video Liam, not only don't give up but just play each hole. Once it's done it's done, I try not to go out with a gross score in mind, just wanbt to play well. Some days you hit the ball well and nothing drops, bad bounces etc, other days you play army golf, and score well. It's not how, it's how many is so true. You actually scrambled well in this round, had plenty of bunker practice :-) all out in 1, and putted well. My starting aim is not to 3 putt, if i can get it close then a single putt is on, that's where the dropping of gross score starts to be seen.

[@GolfMates]

Thanks for sticking with it. Real golf 👍

[@stanbillings8511]

Always enjoy the videos. Big fan from USA, love the banner and your self talk as well. Golf Mates love the meaning, even borrowed the “Golf Mates”name for our winter league team name. Great work!

[@petermaher5156]

Loved this video Liam. Great job just showing how golf can be somedays and I liked your positive comments. You're right when you say it's only a game and if the golf is crap, just try to enjoy the environment. There's plenty worse places to be. Keep the good work coming.

This is a classic case of playing badly but scoring well! I do this a lot, I drive the ball poorly, irons are all over the place and my short game generally gets me out of jail!

[@grahamhartless4317]

Hi Liam, great to see you play and film a full 18 holes. I really admire your perseverance and attitude - that was real golf and you still got a decent score. However, I could probably count the number of practice swings on drives and iron shots on one hand - have you forgotten about them? Keep up the great work, you and all of the team.

[@chrisshepherd1960]

I’m fortunate enough to live in the lakes, and played Carus in our society. We were the last group out and as I landed on the 18th tee, the lads were on the balcony having a few scoops so the pressure was bang on. I don’t think I’ve hit a ball thinner in my life. It was thinner than OJ’s defence. Anyway, it dambustered over the pond like a skimming stone and finished 5ft away from the pin. Heroic 3 dab bogey to finish 💪

[@chrisshepherd1960]

Footnote: I’m a little bit devastated that your worst golf is better than my actual golf 😭
