[@ericjohnsongolf]

Fathers, Sons, and Golf...I played Golf with Dad for 44 years...He passed 4 years ago, and i havent played since... After watching this video, i think its time to play again. Thank You James...⛳

❤

[@guyr7351]

It is, I played occasionally with mine, I’ve recently restarted the game and golf is such a good way to bond and chat without sitting down and saying let’s talk

[@EdenLawnServices]

James, I watched this with tears streaming down my face. I lost my Mother this year about the same time as you lost your Dad. So many memories. Your best video this year!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@DH-tp9ns]

I lost my dad 13 years ago. I still miss playing golf with him, especially our home course where I grew up. I get choked up every time I play there. I don't think that feeling ever goes away. Here's to our dads. Cheers

[@christiankell6074]

Merry Christmas James!!!! Your videos are part of my daily routine, and I look forward to them every day. But I must tell you that this one has made me stop and think a bit. My stepdad introduced me to the game of golf when I turned 16 years old. He bought me my first set off clubs and took me to play 18 holes the day of my birthday. He has always had a passion for the game and has even worked at his local curse for over 40 years. I unfortunately did not live with him, but I always admired him for taking the time to share his passion for the game with me. He has been battling cancer for some time, and things are uncertain right now, but after watching your video I am certain that I am going to honor him by getting back into the game and sharing in the passion for it that he showed me. I feel that this will be the best way for me to honor him. Unfortunately, I still have the same clubs that he bought me from 1988, and I plan on keeping them because they were the first gift I had ever received from him. I have sons of my own, 5 in fact, and I would like to teach them to play golf so that we can play together. Can you suggest to me clubs to look at purchasing on a budget, since I have to also buy 5 sets for my boys as well. I have wanted to do this for some time, and I think now is the time to get started back playing. Many wishes to you and your family, God Bless you sir. And thanks again for sharing this video and opening my eyes to what I have been missing in my life. I would have never thought that a golf video made in the UK would impact my life so profoundly all the way over here in the US state of Tennessee. You have just changed my life for the better.

[@andycrokey1685]

My father was never a golfer but he really loved Christmas, he passed away in early December 13 years ago. It leaves an empty and emotional hole that you just cant square away. Love and miss him everyday, happy Christmas Dad.💔

[@jeremypuckett546]

I can see your pain , you’re doing an awesome Job James keep up the great work. My prayers are with you and what an amazing tradition for you.

[@mattevans7150]

Love the idea of this being a new annual tradition. Perhaps next year you invite one of his old mates to join you and tell each other stories?

[@LouisAlvarado-mf7xn]

I’m 60 years old and lost my dad when I was 21. I started playing golf and it gave me a sense of peace. Miss you dad.

[@whiteCDN]

My dad passed when I was 13 - I played solely with his clubs up until this year (16 years later.) My condolences, James. His memory lives on forever.

[@johndunsmore430]

Finally..its ok to say.i miss my dad still.i think of him every every time I lift a club.i don't particularly like xmas but I put a show on for the family. He hated to get beat I hated to get beat..id love 1 more go at him. Thank u for this video james.much respect m8.

[@joshholmes]

I am crying. I love this tradition. And thank you for sharing with all of us. I was really touched by the stories about his hole in one, the drink and then remembering that you never asked him what club he used. That got me good and the flood gates opened. It's an incredibly personal video, well shot and edited.

[@chriswylde692]

I lost my mum in September last year, last Christmas and today me and my dad went and played 18. It's a way of taking our minds off things and starting new traditions that makes tough times a little easier. Stay strong. Your dad will be proud of you

[@stevejenkins4363]

Lost my dad on mother’s day this year. Love what you’re doing. I had a little moment in a store the other day shopping with my wife. Saw the perfect gift for him and for a second forgot he was gone.

[@Mancmikey89]

Absolutely beautiful tribute and fair play to you buddy, class actually and he would be proud 💙

[@jeromeatkins5915]

The first Christmas without a parent who has past from this life to the next is the hardest , James .

[@davidtaormina2011]

Lost my Dad 14 years ago. Still have moments like this. It's the hardest thing I've ever dealt with. Still hard at times. Especially the holidays. Thanks for sharing.

[@MattyIce9917]

This was a great way to honor your dad, James! Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with us! Praying for you and your family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@GDJ1957]

I did not realize you lost your dad. My condolences. Nice dedication video.

[@oldred1959]

Lost my Grandad on Christmas day, it was 11 years ago but a great way from him to never be forgotten! Great way to celebrate a life James.

[@davidwhittington9498]

Merry Christmas. Emotionall times mate 🎄🎅

[@MrJohnr47]

Merry Christmas. Lost my dad 10 year’s ago and think about him all the time. You will find that you start thinking about all the great times and the things dad says. Peace to you and your family.

[@natewilmes3411]

Lost my dad 13 days ago. I would stop by his house after every round to visit and vent. Golf’s gonna be a lot different now. Still gonna vent to him tho! 🙏

[@tomfnyep6929]

I still fortunately have my father here. He turns 72 in January. He had cancer 10 plus years ago and surgery has given him these extra years eith us. Im so thankful. Him and my mother still here thankfully. James may your father RIP. He is there with you and listens whene you talk to him. Just because he physically leaves doesnt mean he isnt gone forever

[@JR-xn4gl]

I can only echo those comments before me. My dad left 10’years ago on New Year’s Day … still miss him and, for some reason, more so today Christmas Day). I envy the fact that you’ll be able share this new tradition and establish new ones with your little on when the age arises. Merry Christmas.

[@adamsmith3607]

Lovely stuff James. Lost my mum on 1st December. Still can't believe she has gone, but like you want to have a happy time over the festive period and remember happy times with her.

[@Kingbing22440]

Well done James. By watching your videos from the beginning, I can tell you’re a good man that was raised the right way by your father. That’s was a touching tribute. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@dmcconnachify]

You made me cry James. Lost my mum earlier this year and the waves of emotion keep coming and going! Ideas like this cement your parent’s memory and legacy in your heart. Thanks James!

[@MegaKev63]

Stay strong James, it's never easy. That was a beautiful tribute to your lovely Dad 👍

[@timdench2583]

A very touching video James. The first Christmas following the death of a loved one is always the toughest. Give Laura and your child a hug.

[@bosx]

Merry Christmas. A beautiful tribute to your Dad

[@SCROGGZaces]

I lost my grandfather on dec 10 of 97 and Xmas has always been hard so I felt this video in my heart. I’m sure your dad was happy to be apart of your day and that you did this. Merry Xmas to everyone!

[@Steelman1957]

Simple yet special way to remember your Dad. An excellent tradition. Something to pass on to your kids. Merry Christmas

[@davidrogers704]

Love this video. I lost my dad 14 years ago last April....he actually passed away on the first tee at his golf club....I couldn't play golf for sometime after that but started playing again 18 months ago and have played every round for him since! Feel your pain James and this new tradition is a lovely touch to keep the memories alive!!

[@groetings7901]

Well done James. It took courage to do this and share it with your audience. It’s a beautiful way to honor him like this. It’s not about the game of golf but all the memories. I couldn’t watch the video without tears in my eyes. Lost my dad in 2007 but still think of him everyday.

[@brettcornelison2599]

James...awesome tribute to your dad and what a great tradition to start. What a beautiful way to spend time with your dad during Christmas and remember all the good times spent together, on and off the golf course. Prayers going up for you and your family during this holiday season. Proud to be a part of your KZbin family.

[@bobberry6293]

My father passed away 20 years ago. Think of him everyday. Thank you for doing this.

[@ralphgiofre4316]

My father didn’t play golf but I play with my sons and grandson. Your father would be extremely happy to walk the links with you today. A tremendous tribute to dear ol’ Dad!! Cheers!

[@JohnnyJ-N]

Great video, James. Merry Christmas! Blessings to you and thanks for helping us all keep the important things in perspective.

[@daveweedall4505]

Great video James I lost my old man 30 years ago but like me you will never forget him bud . All the best to you, and yours

[@adamw9764]

Incredible video, James. Great way to honor your Dad, all the best to you and the family

[@garyboweren4251]

What a wonderful idea ❤ lost my dad 15 years ago still pick up his clubs and have a swing every now and then

[@johnsutphin194]

Great video and tribute to your dad! We cherish the times we had with our fathers!

[@shanesmith5917]

Lost my dad two years ago. He was must best friend and golfing partner. Talked to him almost daily. Miss him every day. Thanks for the video James, keep smiling.

[@richardsiles8206]

Happy day for some. I was 29 he was 55- never got to play any golf with him. Keep your good memories. Merry Xmas.

[@LoneRanger-n3r]

Love this as a tribute to your Dad and a remembrance!!! GOD Bless you and your family James!!!

[@jerry2445]

I'm 67, lost my Dad when I was 35. Think of him everyday. Well done for the video James. Very humble....

[@MrJohnr47]

Side note: my father was perhaps the worst golfer on earth. On Father’s Day I always play a round with his weird ping putter (not a regular version). All the three putts are for dad!

[@noah0700]

Thanks for sharing such a personal thing James. What a heart warming sincere video, you’ve done your dad proud with this. Merry Christmas to you and the family!

[@seanchester4766]

Your best video to date sir. Thank you for bringing us all along today for the occasion.

[@ranger1721]

I've played golf with my father all my life and other friend too of course but the rounds with my dad are the most and best rounds of my life. He is 84 now and has dementia so he just rides with me in the cart and he is the best company on the course. He still pulls the flag for me and helps me find lost balls. I can't imagine him not being there. I know I'll have to face it sometime. That first time without him will be horrible but I know he would want me to go anyway. Nothing but fairways in heaven.

[@HalfintheBagGolfer]

This old man lost his dad back in 1996 and I miss him dearly every day! My condolences, mate!

[@simonbullows5683]

Poignant & moving tribute to your dad - he would have loved it.

[@charliemartinnow3]

So sorry for your loss James. Best wishes

[@jasondavis6831]

Thank you James. My 83 year old father winters with me and my wife in South Carolina and this video has helped me put his visit in perspective.

[@waynepark4430]

Well done. All the best

[@bradsrcsmore3848]

Merry Christmas James, it's an awesome tradition to remember your dad! 🙂

[@simonevansengineeringelite4354]

Thanks James. Miss my Pops too. Lost him in 2019. I have his clubs too. Love you Pops❤️

[@philipreynolds7492]

Emotional video James well done for starting a new tradition you can carry on. Merry Christmas 🎅

[@TerryWalsh-vz2gv]

Great video and tribute to your dad! Thanks for putting this together!

[@johnwiggins4490]

Thanks for sharing James. My Dad and I did a lot of fishing. Whenever I go out to the lake I think of him. Glad you have good memories!!

[@paulbradbury2613]

Lovely James , lost my dad a few years ago and used to love playing golf together . Sadly he was a left hander so couldn’t do this but will always remember . Have a good Christmas with your family and keep up the good work.

[@nbargolf]

Thank you James for sharing this heart felt story. I know how hard it is to get through the grieving. I lost my Grandson, my Son and my Brother this last year. Only with God’s help can we get through it and celebrate their life and the joyous memories. God Bless Merry Christmas.

[@VKBKK]

What a touching and beautiful way to pay tribute to the many happy memories you shared with your dad ❤❤❤ Merry Xmas n stay well always

[@brandycothern2012]

Merry Christmas James and family ❤ Thank you James for sharing such a tender moment with us. Beautifully done video. We love you brother. God bless you and yours.

[@bradleywilke7790]

I lost my mother a year and a half ago. The last christmas present she gave me was a golf bag off of amazon. Ive upgraded every single club in my bag but I cant replace the bag. Love you mom, you were the best

[@boatbuilder781]

James, very well done! I cannot think of a better way for you to honor your dad, thank you for sharing it with us. Have a great Christmas to you and your family.

[@dwightseymour6720]

Merry Christmas James and family. You held it together really well the year I lost my dad I played with tears in my eyes on every hole well done sharing this very emotional moment

[@williamklingenberg108]

Your best video ever. Brought tears to my eyes and old memories of my dad. Super work, keep it up.

[@pauls3616]

Very nice. I played more golf with my Dad than anyone else. It has been many years since he passed but I still remember the fun we had. Merry Christmas everyone.

[@DavidConley-p2u]

Best episode ever. Merry Christmas to you and family from across the pond. A great tradition begins for you. Well done.

[@randyhitchens5918]

This was fantastic and effected me deeply to the point I'm going to do the same thing. My Dad got me into golf when I was 10 years old and we had our best times together. Thanks for this meaningful video.

[@Hunter-zp5hd]

Merry Christmas James. I lost my grandfather years ago. He was the one man that I looked up to and he was a great example. I used to caddy for him before I was old enough to actually play golf. He was one of those people that if you asked him a question about something, you knew you were getting solid information. I usually take his set of clubs out once a year. Early Wilson Dynapower II forged blades and persimmon woods. I may be close to losing my dad because he has late stage Alzheimer’s. We never really got along all that well, but now all of that is gone. He lives with us and is entirely reliant on my wife and I. Funny how life works. Best wishes!

[@afriendtoleanon3401]

Merry Christmas so sorry for your loss . i lost mom on mothers day 1year and a half ago . so i get it bro . im headed to Florida from NJ in the morning to go play with my pops for a week . since he moved down there i have not got to see him much . i cant beat him as he shoots in the 80 s and has in front of me shot a 74 so wish me luck im a low to mid 90s golfer but sent down a set of stealth hd irons to play with after watching your video on them . thanks for all your work brother . and if you are ever stateside and want to play a round in Nj look me up my treat .

[@hankingaround713]

What a great tribute and tradition! Heartwarming video James! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@tomtempinski2781]

Lovely new tradition. Good on you.

[@beecothern]

Wonderful video James, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad and hero in 2015 so I know exactly how you feel. I love the idea of the new tradition, thank you for letting us be a part of this emotional day.. God Bless you and your family and Merry Christmas

[@PeterMolyneux-l2y]

Thanks for sharing this mate. Christmas can be a bitter/sweet time, and it's great that you can honour your dad and include him in Christmas in this way.

[@subsailor1445]

Merry Christmas, James. I tried to watch this first thing this morning and couldn't finish it. I miss my Pop dearly on Christmas, and the first Christmas without him was tough. I also have 2 children who basically disowned me about 13 years ago. I had a good cry and pray to make it through the day.

[@richardllewellyn2633]

Lovely video James and a really good way to remember your dad. Don’t worry James the bag with multiple head covers will find its way to your game in years to come

[@cocodonkey]

Really enjoyed that video. My dad died when I was 27 and he was 66. Always a keen sportsman he taught made to play hard but fair and enjoy it. Loads of questions come to you in later life that you'll never get an answer to. Enjoy life, enjoy your family, keep swinginging

[@matt10529]

I always love the golf rounds with my dad, most of the best moments I've had on the course have been with him. Will definitely be taking more time to get those rounds in while we can. I'm sorry for your loss James, this was an amazing video and a great way to keep your dad around during Christmas! Merry Christmas!

[@markboundy5091]

I feel your pain my friend. I've been there myself. Best wishes to you and the family. Smile with your memories, it's what makes people like your dad special. Take care 🫂

[@Dirtnap300]

This was my second Christmas without my father... I wish i could say it was easier but he was an awesome chap that is just missed.. I totally understand how you feel, you know he is right there with you. Cheers!

[@The_300ZX_Irishman]

Such a beautiful and emotional tribute. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with us. Having lost my own dad, I found this deeply moving-it’s a wonderful way to celebrate his life and the special bond you shared through golf, giving you so much cherished time together not to mention all the memories you will have in your heart forever. Cheers 🍻 and Thank you!

[@stuartbradley4411]

I lost my dad in 2015 and I still have his bag and clubs but I haven't brought myself to play with them yet. I am going to do it this year on his birthday Merry Christmas everyone

I think it is a wonderful tradition. MERRY CHRISTMAS!! CHEERS! Much love for the channel…keep it up. Many of us know the loss of parents. You will always miss them. Keep moving forward.

[@daywalt12]

James, I also lost my dad five years ago. He was my first golf coach. He worked extra hours to take me to junior tournaments. He was my best friend and favorite person to play golf with. I love that you still have his clubs and will do this again. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Very touching. Very sentimental. Good job. Always important to remember. Best wishes.
