I Take On A UNKNOWN CHAMPIONSHIP Links Course!

[@levibrecke337]

Hi Matt, great content and work showcasing our course. We were glad to have you here, all the best 👍

[@Mattfryergolf]

Much appreciated!

[@brianwood1451]

Really enjoyed this one Matt. You played so well, your tempo looks great. Flammin heck, play like that and you'll have no bother if you did Open qualifying. Handicap wise where would you say you are +3/4?

[@michaelbartnek5090]

Matt love the content that you bring to the channel the humor that you have in your videos always keeps me coming back for more also your swing is so fluid and effortless and yet you strike the ball with such precision great job looking forward to another in the red.

[@arthurrytus7318]

Best solo round I've seen you play Matt , keep up the thinking game it works , well done lad

[@andrewreid2768]

Hi Matt, I look after the Juniors at Irvine. I have shared your video on our page to show them how to manage the course, an absolute lesson in course management especially of the 'tricky' early holes which can be card wreckers or indeed if played correctly the building blocks to a good score. Glad you enjoyed our course 👍👍

[@ashleywassall4049]

Love watching golf vlogs that aren’t just about hammering driver… great course management, lots of great nuggets to take away. Great vid!

[@golfendeavor8267]

That was fun to watch. Member of Bogside for the past two years and still learning to play it. You had a great game plan and hit in the right areas from what I can say. Hitting fairways is key there as you noticed. Need to keep it in the short gras, otherwise 1st, 6th, 11th, 13th, 14th and 17th are tricky if you don’t hit the tee shot (driver, wood) well. You were cruising nicely since the holes are generally not very long but greens can be tricky to read. Happy days 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳️😃

[@ryanschultz4119]

Great job, Matthew! Even more so than your score, it was your attitude. And the way you kept your composure. Pulled the pin on all your putts. Didn't let an errant shot affect your following shots. Well played, mate!💯👍

[@alanmcvittie9413]

It was good to see you plotting your way around the course, thinking more on every shot, and not just blasting the driver off the tee. Always look forward to the next episode.

[@MarkSamora]

I love your sense of humor Matty.

[@nickupjohn8586]

What a lovely looking course that I’d not heard of, well played Matt , really enjoyed watching you plot your way around.

[@michaelheap5543]

Well played Matt. I played there about 25 years ago and I remember it being a monster. Drove up from Gatwick then played 18 before playing in a 36 hole tournament the next day. Drive home next day absolutely knackered!!

[@barneyhall2753]

WOW!!!!! Course management. Very well played on a lovely looking course.

[@Mattfryergolf]

It really is!

[@peariejones6253]

Matt! Good work. I can see you have been working on the game! Course Management and knowing your yardages! Fine round young man!

[@bloostoo8550]

Well played Matt. Really enjoyed that one. Some of the best and most consistent golf I've seen you play.

[@johnreid4056]

Great Can Do Attitude and it Worked. You need to Play Largs GC Keep up Great Work

[@DutchSmith-ir3ox]

Your a wizard with the putter. Way more consistent than your fellow countrymen youtubers. Even on missed putts you give yourself a chance and don't often leave it short.

[@timothybevis6095]

Best round on a new course. Congrats Matt.

[@russelldronfield-ht2es]

Matt Fryer playing thinking golf. Wow! Well played Matt. Looking forward to the rest of the season played equally as well 🎉👍

[@bringonbrilliance]

Well played matt 🎉 course management was on point 👉

[@brettcollier7906]

Great round Matt, swing is looking very solid ,keep up the great play.

[@alanstirling3526]

Great to see you play well at Irvine Bogside Matt. Lovely wee course which is under rated.

[@simonthorpe6971]

Great round Matt, really interesting insight into plotting your way round the course. I play off 18, and after a few years of struggle, finally feel like it's coming back together, just being more sensible on course. Played 3 wood off tee or hybrid and really tried to keep it simple, shot 83, my best round in a while.

[@richardllewellyn2633]

Great video. The course looks stunning and bar those 2 shots you struck it well. Just an ounce more on a couple of those putts but very consistent

[@mitchsutter9788]

Love your channel Matt and that was an athletic jump

[@lexxwhite747]

I know people who would say that course looks scrubby and unkempt, but to me it looks like a little slice of heaven. Thanks for showing it off in such detail, Matt. Great play as well mate.

[@ScottDavidson3492]

Well done on a very tough looking course swinging it beautifully

[@davetate6733]

Very well managed round. Good to watch Matt

[@peterb652]

I enjoyed your rather sardonic summary of the round: "A professional approach with a touch of the absolute beginner" or words to that effect. I thought your measured approach was impressive, and it enabled you to stay on track after a couple of rough tee shots. Good playing.

[@joesphreiley7757]

The great thing about this course if you hit a little left or right your able to find your ball for another shot. The course I play all fairways are tree lined, you go left or right you are losing a stroke.

[@kilnerdyne]

Objectively brilliant Matt really well played. A joy to watch as always.

[@Mattfryergolf]

Appreciate it

[@johngriffiths8072]

Hi Matt well that's almost the best I've seen you play 18 apart from 2 or 3 shots a stress free under paaar round by the way you are nuts love some of you little quips bring on open qualifying next year

[@dazaaw]

Great course management, some putts just shy of the hole.. brilliant

[@alantaylor3267]

Fantastic golf course and you played some great golf. You spoke about plotting your way around, so with that in mind i'd love to see you play an "in the red" vlog with irons only to see how you get on. Keep up the good work.

[@Compete8]

The red is in. Very sensible round Sir. Well played

[@donaldfletcher7213]

Hey, has Rick Shields taken over Matt's body there's some good golf ⛳ going on good video 📸

[@gnrock1981]

? MF is a significantly better golfer than RS.

[@davidcox7538]

Well done Matt 🎉

[@Justanoldfart]

Wonderful show, always fun when you play well, hey? Play the course, not just the numbers. Well done, again great video. Thanks, ❤️🏌️✌️

[@johnashton3881]

Well played Matt, looks a great course, let's keep up this strategy going forward.

[@petermaher5156]

Well played Matt, solid golf, and good course management, especially after the 2 misfit drives. I watched this with my wife who wanted to know if this was a different Matt Fryer channel 😅

[@billm4149]

Very good golf, that. Well planned, nicely thought out and well done.

[@TheSpeed777777]

Nice round Matthew. Yip when you haven't been under for a couple of months, it gets nervy. When you start doing it a couple of times a month it's a lot easier. We'll played!

[@bards7443]

Lots of great swings in there mate. Bravo !

[@Mattfryergolf]

Thanks 👍

[@eddiehuff7366]

@26:26...soooo proud of you Matt. Scorched the tee shots thru 9:)

[@MegaKev63]

Well played Matt, nicely plotted around an unfamiliar course 😁👍👍👍

[@blue24563]

Much better attitude and decision-making in that round. That’s what got you a good score.

[@mamcdodo]

Thanks Matt. Played here earlier this year. It's a really good course, very tricky in places, but a lot of fun. Great value for the area. There's another slightly further north which lesser known but still excellent called west Kilbride. Also worth a try at around the same price range.

[@Mattfryergolf]

Have to check it out

[@bobmcg5009]

Hi Matt really enjoyed that 🙌👍®️

[@shiskinegreenkeeper2782]

When you looked over to Arran,i was wondering if you have played any of the 7 courses there..... Brilliant place for a golf trip...and 2 whisky distilleries......

[@andrewjohnston5942]

Not the first I’ve seen go round the first 9, thinking this is great. Back 9 is tougher. Think the locals say for handicap golfers, one third of your shots on front, two thirds on back. My favourite course in the area, and exceptional value for money. Well played.

[@jasonthelwell7690]

Great course vlog mate

[@zittyrrrs7082]

Well played.... you proved me wrong 😳🫣

[@juiceqc7716]

Just back from the Ayrshire coast. Played Irvine Bogside. Lovely. Agree, a little local knowledge goes a long, long way. Would like to try it again. Depending on your shot shape favour left of centre at 12 and you really can trust the marker post off the tee (or no more than 5 ft. right) at 13 even although it looks as though it needs to be relocated to the right. 17 & 18 are gorgeous. Nice people too. Hands down the grumpiest barman I have ever met. Possibly due to my English accent. He was priceless. Well played btw.

[@lukavbythesea]

Great course. There’s a crow that hangs about the 2nd green that likes to steal things out your bag lol

[@Mattfryergolf]

Ha there was one on my bag there had to chase it off

[@ronaldsinclair6837]

You and Rick are playing good golf

[@pan0568]

Swinging it beautifully!

[@Mattfryergolf]

Thank you

[@alexsweeting6257]

Much better round Matt and a great watch. What is the new 3 wood? The blue shaft looks brilliant - what is it?

[@Mattfryergolf]

It's a Fujikura ventus shaft

[@shorey66]

I recently started leaving the driver in the car and use the 3 wood off the tee. Score has improved by a good few shots and average distance with the 3 wood is up to about 245yds. That's more than enough if its straight.

[@superduperawesome6858]

Do you not use the maps in the Shotscope app? Great looking course btw!

[@vegastjg]

Sweet hoodie!

[@ohwowthatsgood]

Well done

[@simonwallis84]

Well played,you putted well. Virtually every if not every single long putt was an easy second putt. You normally hole a few of those 20-25 footers,playing within yourself too👍

[@clivelodge5858]

What a lovely course. I'm short enough to hit driver off every tee!

[@Jo111sun]

First off I dig the accent, I love the course, wish I could learn how to play! I was playing golf consistently and practicing a lot but I still didn’t get my golf swing right, swing the club still feels foreign to me’ However, I know I can get better and zi still have hope that I will be in a golf tournament someday ! 😊

[@waynecooper9728]

Great viewing. I also played it in open week. Can you start hitting your putts Matthew lol . Lovely viewing again. Keep them coming

[@Mattfryergolf]

Love it

[@peterandresen328]

Best ever congrats ❤

[@charlesd6011]

Me and my friends played this course on same day as you we saw you there, was a tricky test

[@clevelandthomsen7042]

tempo is especially good today! Good tempo=good swings.

[@Mattfryergolf]

Rock on!

[@carlturner7189]

Excellent golf matt it's getting better -1 is a good score When u taking me to mizuno for my full bag fitting and a game with your 😂😂😂

[@MikeBig007]

Can you start saying what woods or irons you’re using Think that would be helpful 👍🏽👍🏽

[@nedfarrell]

Love the way you roll in the short putts. Could you do a video on short putts

[@The-OC]

Try the Cam Smith putting ethos, line your putt up, set your self up to the intended line and then just roll it in, no practice swings, no doubts, just a confident putt into the hole.

[@nedfarrell]

@@The-OC Isn't that what everyone tries to do.

[@billgreenhalgh9646]

A future "record breakers "episode with Peter Finch???🤞🤞👍

[@cowtippper1996]

Lets go matt! 👏

[@golfpunk1903]

What size is your hoodie?

[@golfbn]

Would make an interesting course for "record breakers" one hits the iron safely off the tee and one goes for the green on those short par 4's.

[@Mattfryergolf]

Yeah it would be especially with that record!

[@johntokn]

I've played every course on Arran back in the day when you could pay £100 for a week's pass to play any course, or all of them, It would be great to see a pro play them all.

[@shiskinegreenkeeper2782]

Arran golf pass is still only £140.... Very good deal... £20 for each course..

[@PaulPartridge-jn2su]

My local golf course Thorpe wood Peterborough Cambridgeshire. Is only £30 a round

[@BrianOSullivan-tb3if]

Well done Matt. Be a bit more confident in yourself! Well plotted. Very nice course. Greens like carpet.

[@Mark-ov7pf]

Hi matt, do you use graphite shafts ? Or you use a mixed bag

[@Mattfryergolf]

Full graphite. Fujikura Axiom in iron X flex 105 gram and Fujikura ventus in woods

[@Mark-ov7pf]

Can I ask why, went for a fitting only 73mph swing speed with 7 iron and the pro fitted me with TM 790 regular shaft

[@SigmaJAD]

No, it's not out of hand, it's what you have been capable of all along

[@garydavis8213]

Hey Ho, Matt. Very tidy round.

[@charlessimons1692]

that's how to play golf!

[@chrisduxberry8327]

So what is the price point as you keep saying in you videos?

[@Mattfryergolf]

How much the round would cost. £90 here

[@R_J_G]

Hope you stay with the Mizuno driver for awhile

[@mastermanningtkd]

Great content Matt, but if you are on average 20+ feet away, why not club up rather than squeeze every bit of juice out of every club

[@ducatidad8231]

Lovely, boring down the middle golf 👌 great content

[@321harry456]

Hey-ho 🎉

[@tehhud5]

Have to say, I’ve played Irvine a good few times and thing it’s average at absolute best.

[@randymahony8157]

Great round, and you only said annoying once .lol

[@Pud56]

Scottish Golf has become unaffordable, especially with the weather. I was fortune enough to play these courses when they were cheap, they couldn’t give green fees away. I have pals that have just missed their first year in 40 of a trip to Scotland, they have looked at the world and they can play in the US including flights for less, let alone Europe and South Africa. So it’s off to sunnier climes, and to courses more welcoming

[@j700jam4]

There is a notion that American golfers don't want to play courses unde £150 as they don't believe they can be up to much so the clubs are increasing the fees to attract more Americans.

[@robertchilton7334]

"Professionalism"

[@Mattfryergolf]

You know it

[@kevinbroadway2215]

If I could do double likes and double subscribe I would what a great guy

[@ronlara899]

-2

[@alansmith3885]

I think +1 Matt. Hope you do better than this:-)

[@luckyphil59]

Matt, be careful or you might get accused of playing Golf like a member of the PGA.

[@janoelfke1004]

@Matt Fryer. Is there a real reason why you and all the other golfers take off the gove after each shot and put it back on for the next shot? Or is this just a gimmick?

[@LemonJelly360]

For me it’s all due to weather conditions, either with hot weather or rain. In both instances it is an attempt to keep the glove as dry as possible.

[@rogerwillacott3194]

Why show all your shots at start of video so I don't need to watch the whole thing!

[@Mattfryergolf]

Will take the point on

[@CandidaProut-ep5fb]

You're a bad golfer.

[@TimKasperek]

Umm. How many second takes. Your a 5 handicap at best. Come on, keep it real!

[@Mattfryergolf]

Cute

[@andyinottawa651]

What is it with people that makes them have to post negative, even rude comments?? If you don't like it, why watch it??
