I played the HIGHEST-PRICED Course...

[@soulgalorememories9921]

I always enjoy your videos, if I said that they are nice, it is not a negative, just watching you around North Wales doing your thing with your technique is fascinating. Your short game is excellent and is a big reason for your decent handicap. I am in awe at how your swing gets you to hit a ball so far - your contact must be perfect at times. Anyway - hope to see much more of your videos and commentary.

[@jcoleman924]

Best golf channel! Realistic + honest w/ no "edits". Right there w/ Golf Sidekick and a few others!

[@vincentsutherland3175]

Thank you for bringing us this lovely course James . You have turned into a really consistently good golfer. Thank you ⛳️

[@rjt4020]

Well done. Definitely improved bunker play. Thanks for posting.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

It was ok apart from the wet sand bunker!

[@frederickjackson4273]

👏👏 you deserved the par on the 18th great drive , we av all been there thats why we go back 😂 love the channel ❤️

[@TheLemaxi]

Enjoying the golf vlogs James. Might see you on the course one day as you seem to play a lot of local golf courses near me

[@TagalogTeeTime]

Great video. Huge fan. Inspiring!

[@conormcgowan3018]

This is real GOLF. This is how I play and imagine most golfer's play whom have been at this blessed game for many years. 😊

[@petermurphy7627]

If you can still club twirl your driver on the 18th and walk off with a par, then it’s been a good day 😀😀

[@dirkvandertoornvandertoorn4895]

Thanks James for a nice video

[@geoff114]

Great Video james, Keep going mate.

[@duncanrhodes4778]

Started well, finished well. Lovely course and what a great day you had. In the end only 4 shots over your target which most of us would be really delighted with! Looking forward to your next outing.

[@mitsubisher5829]

What I like is the way you don’t smash everything just keep it straight well done

[@Ava481]

Thanks as ever for taking us with you James. You're driving and irons were generally very good. It's interesting that is now an average round for you - I thought you played really well. So many GIRs or close. Unlucky with some of those putts. Distance control excellent. Keep it up as very enjoyable to watch. Plus if you take the triple out, then you're 15 over. Very respectable around a tight course!

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Cheers pal, Conwy is not for the faint hearted! :)

[@martinkscott]

Great video buddy 👍🏻👍🏻

[@briangray00]

Lovely scenery; I'd love to play that one James. The Welsh Tourist Board really ought to be helping you out with the green fees.

[@kennethjoiner2028]

What it must be like to play some of the most beautiful courses at your own speed. Every time I go out alone to play I get matched up with 1) someone that will shoot 160, 2) someone that will shoot 74, 3) someone that will shoot 99 but have studied everything I am doing wrong by my second shot. Beautiful round, so much fun to watch.

[@XENUGOLFCLUB]

I hate playing with way better players. I feel like I’m holding them up all the time. I like to play relaxed

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Conwy does get rammed in the summer and at weekends...

An other great video on one of my favourite courses in Wales. What a beautiful area it is. Greetings from a Dutchie

Beautiful sunset, and setting. Shame about the putting. Thanks for sharing James.

[@mrkipling3841]

A most excellent episode. Well done!

[@daveking1903]

Great videos as always James. Soooo jealous. I was hoping to play Conwy on holiday this June but they had the National PGA for the whole week so I couldn’t play. It’s certainly at the top of my list to play next time I’m in the area. Well played on a tough course 👏

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

It's a tough track any hole could be a card wrecker...

[@marknaylor9394]

thanks very much. Putting can be very hit and miss...one day they are very close or go in...the next!!!

[@haseleymohamed9750]

Great course and good golf. Stay strong and positive

[@christopherfranklin972]

What a treat James,beautiful course and magnificent sunset! Don't be too hard on yourself as regards the bread and butter,those old links greens are always tough to putt well as a visitor with slopes and lots of hidden breaks that require a member's experience,nil carborundum ... 👍⛳

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

A similar thing happened at Royal St David's I barely made a putt all day...

[@garyhope3731]

Played there early in the year, lovely course👍

[@johncawley807]

Another great video James. I have played Conwy many times and really enjoy it. I find the 17 my nemesis hole. I also think your putting is on the up. Your lag putting is really good, just concentrate on the 10 footers.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Cheers John, yeah that 17th hole must've wrecked so many scorecards! :)

[@lagolf.channel]

Smashing it again mate! Looks a stunning course!

[@lagolf.channel]

Don’t out yourself down either, the lag putts were fantastic. Just a little more time over the short ones. Looking forward to the next one

[@kernelk]

James, I really appreciate your videos. I plan on making my second trip to Wales this summer to watch the Women’s Open and play a few rounds. Hoping to bring a few buddies with me. On another note, have you ever considered doing a video with Dan Grieve? Us average guys would really benefit from that.

[@brianwood1451]

Enjoyed your video James. I thought you did well apart from a couple of blow up holes (which we all have at some time). Interesting for me to see this course as my Son had lessons there (and still does) earlier this year. He's now a member at Penmaemawr, and I'll be having a round there with him over Christmas. I'd like to get on Conwy in the future, looks great.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

It's a great track Conwy but if you are out of position you're in trouble!

[@parf2665]

A bit of practice on the living room carpet will do wonders for those 3 footers. Reckon you could knock off 4-5 shots per round with a little practice. Great videos 👌

[@ConnorJazz]

Great content as always! Just out of curiosity, what is your day job?

[@Pete_Harris]

Beautiful weather! Always look forward to your videos 👍

[@philclark7346]

Well played, I played this course a few weeks ago absolutely loved it.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Hope you stayed out of the bunkers & rough! 👍👍👍

[@philclark7346]

R you off to Thailand again soon I go each year and in April treated myself to a game at Windmill Summit ( not far from the Airport in Bangkok ) in the morning before flying home in the afternoon, great course .

[@Phil222G]

Have a look at the Cleveland Hy-Wood +3 and excellent club its a cross between a Hybrid and a wood great club to use gives you a little more distance than a 7 wood and so easy to hit off the fairway and the rough

[@timdench2583]

What a lovely sunset on the 18th. I don’t think you did shank it James. In your slo-mo it looked like the club face was open. No matter, thanks for bringing us a good video. Looking forward to your vlogs from Thailand.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

It went right like a shank. Very strange that iron shot I hit none other like it all year! :)

[@ShrimperGolf]

you are a very good golfer James. Please share how you get so much distance with a limited back swing, I think you turn well and properly finish your swing. Thanks for really good content, I really enjoy your narrative; assuming you are retired, were you in the broadcast business?

[@IverKnackerov]

James doesn’t hit it very long …his “secret” is he tends to hit it straight off the tee, and putts well. Good course management 👍

[@danielh4032]

I was wondering as well; over 200 with barely a half backswing needs a good strike.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

I hit the middle of the club face with an ok follow through. I get 133 mph ball speed at the driving range with driver 👍👍👍

[@TrevorHood-m2e]

​@@notaperfectgolfer3489well, that's impressive, thanks, I aspire to your level as a senior player coming to the game later in life. Your content production quality is exceptional, keep it coming, it's very entertaining. I'll make sure to make good contact with the ball.

[@danielh4032]

@@notaperfectgolfer3489 I suppose the shortened backswing provides greater accuracy of strike - I will give it a go.

[@SteveKay-g6g]

great to see your progression and don't worry about the bunker mis-hap on the 5th at Leasowe.I've been a member there for over 50 years and believe me there has been a few medal rounds ended there,but it does increase the bar takings#

I have emotional damage from that hole! :)

Well done James. It’s a hard hard course. Quite windy when I played it and it chewed me up and spat me out 😂

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

Even the 1st is a card wrecker if you're in the wrong spot... :)

[@MikeGolfsOregon]

Really love seeing this course in a vlog again. And you didn't hit it in to the gorse a la Mon. Shiels! edit: How did you not use that sunset shot on 18 tee as your thumb?!!! Beautiful light.

[@KeefsCattys]

I used to use a footpath at North Berwick to get to my sea angling marks and the golfers were the rudest and most pompous people I've ever met . I was always respectful, but I guess they were all privileged hedge fund investors or something equally disgusting.. I found your channel through the algorithms and absolutely love it . I've not played golf ever seriously, but would love to give it a go . Your videos are really entertaining and enjoy your peaceful and calm demeanour. Best wishes

[@stephenesser5375]

James, you weren't happy with your putting, you are one of the best amateur putters i have seen, your distance control is fantastic. So much so, your "poor" round is still a decent 90. if you didn't putt so well, you could add 5-10 strokes

[@geoffwhite7257]

Another class video James, 90 around Conwy is decent. Its a great course ive played many times , its sad that its starting to price your average UK golfer out of playing it. Considering its near neighbour (North Wales club) that you can play for half the price i don’t think its worth the £125 they are charging for next summer.

[@notaperfectgolfer3489]

£90 is the twilight rate for next summer. People must pay it or they wouldn't charge it!

[@13Chinny]

Trademark it “it’s a funny old game” largely played well a few lip outs and some rouge toe hits but in all honesty your channel is great - have loved seeing your improvement over time

[@iansamuels5242]

The beauty of golf and why we love it so much is the fact it doesn't matter how good or not you feel before your round you never know what you gonna get and how you'll play 😂

[@kellyhawk822]

That heavy rough needs an iron out of there I think. Thanks for sharing the video

[@wallabybob3020]

Your golf has progressed so much over the last couple of years James. Conway is a tough course at the best of times, especially the back nine. 18 over isn't bad at all. And never say the dreaded 'S' word out loud!!😲

Where did that come from? :)
