I played a Top 100 UK Course and it was TOUGH [Every Shot]

[@Clyde__Frog]

90 is alright round there mate. I reckon you need to club up on approach shots - use that back of green number and dont be afraid to use more irons off the tee, 160 yards down the middle is way better than 200 in the trees!

[@UpDownGolf]

I think that's a very sensible approach at at course like this tbh mate 👍

[@paghal11]

Was going to say exactly the same. Like on the 303 yard par 4, nothing wrong with 8 iron off the tee and another 8 into the green. Proper challenging course though! Well played!

[@TWTexasA1]

You know you can’t use your -9 handicap from the Putt Putt course on a regulation course…😜😜🤣🤣🤣

[@UpDownGolf]

💀 Exposed!

[@jsoderstrom2]

No need to use provisional on hole 14, red stakes, if its in che water just drop and wedge it over on the green🤝

[@UpDownGolf]

I didn’t even spot that when editing 🤦‍♂️ good shout!

[@craighuddy5351]

If your Driver is going right… Why don’t you play the shot shape your playing that day ?

[@UpDownGolf]

Yeah I definitely should have done. I tried to change the shape and it didn’t work

[@TheJuzi]

Subscriber challenge still on offer, i'm am member at Rotherham Golf Club, be my guests in a challenge? I am off 9 too. Course is in great condition right now too:)

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks 👍

Rushing your putts a little...

[@UpDownGolf]

I've definitely putt better Juzi

[@JonnyPlaysGolf]

Fulford is so hard, I don't think 90 is horrendous by any stretch. Your short game was sensational as well 👍

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers Jonny. Not as bad as it could have been shall we say 👀

[@JonnyPlaysGolf]

@@UpDownGolf hmmm yes, conditions could definitely have been worse 👀

I was that last week, White tees 96...

[@UpDownGolf]

[@Kedbuka]

Thanks for sharing your round. Not your best but not your worst either. Some pretty good shots mixed in there, especially the third shot out of the knee-high rough on No. 11. High degree of difficulty.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Kedbuka! Yeah totally agree with you

[@TWTexasA1]

Dude if you would have even played close to that 18th hole all day wow what a difference it would have made..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@UpDownGolf]

I know. How frustrating is it when you think something clicks right at the end 🤦

[@yummytopdj]

Think you got the handicap from the same lucky bag as fents 😂 keep the great vids coming Luke

[@UpDownGolf]

😂 Ssshhhh! Don't tell him

[@Chris-si4ox]

In the same time that you’ve gone from 20 => 9 handicap I’ve gone from 28 => 40 … nice one ! You know if you had less upper body rotation and more core/glute engagement I think you could unlock huge distance and get to scratch easily

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Chris! Yeah agreed. I find it really difficult to feel like I’m genuinely involving my lower body in the swing

[@pomx2900]

The golf Gods payback, for continually hanging shit on Fents. They are always watching.😂😂😂 Not a bad round actually.

[@UpDownGolf]

Hahaha you think that's what it was 🙈

[@jambotanky]

That was tough mate , I went oot for a wee 9 the day and had a shocker pal 🤦‍♂️ but I suppose u gotta take the good wi the bad and as an auld friends says “don’t get angry because your not good enuf to get angry” 😎 keep the heed big lad ⛳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

[@UpDownGolf]

Very true Jambo! Appreciate it mate

[@jrizzo3579]

really enjoyed the round ... difficult course to struggle with driver ...overall some really shots cheers:)

[@UpDownGolf]

Picked the worst course to not have driver I think 😅 Thanks dude!

[@paulthomson2288]

Dennis should have known better than standing in the kill zone. Honestly some people deserve a lesson from Mr White.

[@UpDownGolf]

Poor lad nearly had no teeth

[@ChrisBei7]

Fulford is quite close to me but never played it! Always wanted to though! Looks good! Great video to mate!

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers Chris! The course is a belter mate

[@marv899]

Very interesting to see that 6300 yards is a long course in england. My home course back here in germany is at around 6800 yards from normal yellow tees 🫠

[@UpDownGolf]

Wow that would be a monster over here Marv (for me anyway!)

[@bamnjlaw92]

Hello and I'm the guy that sees the small ish and I'm not seeing anything you learned from GRF. Seems you have a neutral grip and you're standing up as soon as you hit when you should keep a slight bend as if you're looking behind the ball. Standing up will send it right for right and left for me. I've used the GRF stuff w/o buying the kit, I'm not breaking single digits, but my ball flight and scores have changed and dropped and I have confidence as to what causes a draw for cut which equals me having more confidence and feeling the club head and where I want it behind me depending on strong, weak or neutral grip. You may need to bow your wrist on the way down just a little whereas Dennis should not because his grip seems strong. Let us know which grip all of you use. Including Fentz with that wackly slice that seems to be straightening which speaks to he maybe taking lessons?

[@UpDownGolf]

No Fents hasn't taken lessons. Our games just vary from round to round like anyone I guess 👍

[@dominickfiorello3603]

You should consider that your setup favors a right aim point. Your normal good swing tends to flare a bit right. JMO

[@UpDownGolf]

Appreciate it 👍

[@FentsGolf]

Sack the cameraman and bring back POTATO CAM 🥔! We never had audio issues. Let the people decide

[@UpDownGolf]

I'm worried what they'll pick

[@bilal137]

Another great session Luke. Very entertaining. Not sure how far your rights were, but the rough looked punitive. Surprisingly thick given all the mature trees lining the course. Groundspeople must be top notch.

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers Bilal! Yeah it was hard going if you missed the fairway although some of my rights were verryyy right 😅

[@GolfAddict]

Luke, when did you last upload a video as I am sure I saw one today but when I go on your channel this is the last one!

[@UpDownGolf]

Hey! No video from me this week but there is one on JonnyPlaysGolf that I filmed with him 👍

[@zzzzz77771]

You should do a visit down South and try your game at Broadstone GC in Dorset, another top 100 club and it's very unique!

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks for the recommendation 👍

[@kenirving5240]

Not a good hole on the par 5 (double bogey)? I had a 12 today on a par 5, THAT’S a bad hole!

[@UpDownGolf]

👀 I won’t argue with you there Ken 😅

If you're stepping up to a putt and second guessing it you need to align the ball with your dominant eye

Thanks Jamie. It’s a great course

[@pickuptruk4584]

Working near fulford at the minute. It’s like 100 quid a round I think. Would you say it’s worth it? Nice round by the way👍🏻

[@UpDownGolf]

It's hard to answer that question mate. Depends on a few things (how good you are, how much you normally spend etc). I thought it was a great course and would definitely play it again

[@pickuptruk4584]

I will try it out I think but wait for some better weather. Like everywhere else it’s probably taken a beating?

Honestly mate, people like you are so boring. I'm assuming you play to your handicap every round? The whole point of this channel is to give a realistic view of what golf is like. Social media is full of ego golf, I'm not looking to add to that. Please watch someone else if you want to see that sort of thing 👋

[@richardcrowther2883]

Open qualifying at Fulford next week. The rough is far more punative than it looks. And no hole has a bail out option on to an adjacent fairway for a bad tee shot so a bad shot often cost you 2 shots. It's tough.
