Can I Beat My OPEN QUALIFYING Score?! Fulford Golf Club

[@Dc-lb7cl]

Glad you have come back to Fulford. It was a tough day @ open qualifying, the standard was very impressive. If I were you I would be making regular visits to Fulford and the other possible venues for next years qualifying so you know them like the back of your hand.

[@bards7443]

Love this series Matt. Golf is hard and when a player of your level struggles it makes me realize that even more.

[@mrmacc1312]

I prefer the positive talk as opposed constantly berating yourself like Rick does, makes it hard to watch. Really like the course management planning something I have to learn!

[@brettcollier7906]

I agree,it's very difficult to watch and even worse,having a group member carrying on like that.

[@The-OC]

Unfortunately Rick seems to cling on to bad shots from previous holes... It's done, let it go.!!

[@johntokn]

Great memories of following Tony Jacklyn round this course when he played in the B.H. Not having played long I was taught not to swing too hard at the ball. Tony hit it so hard he nearly came out of his shoes after the strike.

[@sameerpurohit3385]

Great video Matt. Great golf, great positive language and wonderful commentary 😊⛳

[@kpkelsey]

Love your course management talks. It really helps to see you think things through.

[@paulmcgee1867]

Chipping through trees 😂

[@damiengregoire3652]

Great idea to play it again. Who knows you might play it again next year for Open qualifying.

[@nickthomas9528]

Great to see you back at my home club again Matt. Loved watching how you played the course .....great strategy except for the 12th and 18th.....the trees on 12 are quite dence and that drive on 18 is narrow.....but your golf is getting stronger and stronger...keep it up!

[@Rawkers55]

A great golf course i played there in 1987. Loved the B&H when it was held here in the 1980's. The Langer escape with a tree iron on 17 never forgotten

[@senseipaans]

Matt golf can never be beaten. Seems like its a game with the same outcome as that guy who was chained to a rock and got struck by lightning on his head for eternity.

[@sabianmcleod]

Love the content and course management talk. Am wondering….out of the Finch, Sheils, Carter and Fryer quartet….who is playing the best golf. I always thought that Carter and Fryer were on a slightly different level. But over the past 12 or so months, I’m wondering if Finch is the man to catch?

[@fluxfotos22]

Fulford look's hard especially playing in that strong wind.

[@MarkSamora]

You should have taken your medicine on 12 mi amigo. On a positive note, that black beauty 2 iron is quite a weapon! Next time you have a bad hole, have a cup of tea.

[@proffessorclueless]

Insane play from behind the trees, which then caused a loss in concentration, especially when you are trying to improve your score through better course management.Just threw a good round away. Would you have played that shot if a you had holed a couple of earlier puts and were still level par?

[@petermaher5156]

SOme really good golf there Matt. Keep working the process and consistent 18 holes will be easily achievable. It took some getting used to, but I much prefer watching positive Matt, and I'm sure hes better to play with too. Love these videos with the course management and pre shot descriptions.

[@mcleanmacleod6111]

Good video matt loved the ping pong play in the trees great content

[@KentnDebi]

Fulford is such a hard track Matt. You need to be totally on your driving game to score round there. Enjoyable seeing you play a course I’m fortunate enough to play regularly with friends who are members there. Fulford is also home of ‘The Golf Show’…maybe give Paul a shout and get a round with him, pick his brains on how to play the course?🤔

[@MarkArnold92660]

I want Matt to do well in qualifying but I have to be honest. Grumpy Matt is my favorite KZbin golfer.

[@jamiepalmer-oc7ey]

Putter was working. Nice rolls, promising signs ❤

[@carlbeaumont5167]

The positivity is good to see.

[@HackedOut]

The camera angle on 17 after the missed putt was chefs kiss 🤌🏻

[@delhump22]

Redemption time - let's go Matt!

[@richardhill4023]

hi matt lots of fairways found ,but what were you thinking on 12 .I can't believe you tried to get it through that small gap your good enough to get up and down if you chipped out sideways .Bogey a worst .

[@lynseybell811]

Nice looking course & looks tough with the bunkers. Watching there I felt you maybe had a mindset of avoiding a bad score vs pushing for a good one. Put another way just give the driver a lash

[@marksefton751]

A 15 degree driver.... A 3 wood 😉 Something I use off the tee on any hole under 400 yds if the layout/bunkers permit

[@barneyhall2753]

Positivity needs to be tempered by probability. Your round changed on attempting a hero shot. I look forward to your next attempt here. 😀

[@johndonaghy5674]

The 18th is a very easy eagle. Just flirt with the trees on your right with a full driver, tiny draw. You should now have a full 5 iron attacking the bumps on the left side of the green. This shot should kick your ball close to the pin. (Use a slight fade to help the ball jump off the Bankside). Now you can just putt it in

[@huwmorgan51]

A very tough track. A bit of a brain fart on 12 - I couldn't believe you were going directly at a clump of trees! One observation - the tour pros hit driver much more often than you do. You're not going to get a lot of birdies coming in from 180 years, so I think you need to pick at least 8 holes that you're going to hit driver and have confidence in your ability.

[@thevoiceofcod643]

Solid round all things considered. 🥂 odd as it may be, I was typing this as you were teeing off at 18. Saw the OB. But I’ll stand on my original opinion.

[@iankerr9089]

Golf is a silly game! But it’s about the bigger picture, yes you scored worse than open Qual. However it was due to the hero shot on 12! Play the simple sideways shot you can easily regroup, better plan this time just a wee bit of ego got in the way and that is why golf is a silly game! The course changes everyday (weather, pin position etc) but what can stay the same is mindset, but where is the fun in that! Great content as always! Fast becoming my fave you tube golfer

[@paulmcgee1867]

Every course management vlog should include a section on chipping through trees. 😏now you can be happier with your open qualifying score than you were previously

[@keithrafferty2060]

Matt, I played a drinking game as I watched this video. I had to take a shot every time you mentioned your hole in one. I was shitfaced after 5 minutes :) My mates have done the same thing with me since I got my first hole in one 3 months ago. They're permanently drunk now. Love your channel, you're awesome :)

[@user-lk2is9wq6r]

hey positive matt how ya doing ? i think the mindset is what golf is all about , it is a LIFE teacher ...how do you deal with adversity ? can you maintain perspective of relative importance and just continue to do the best you can with each shot required of you ? ....great stuff to teach your little one .... ask yourself this as often as you need ....which matt fryer would you like your progeny to watch videos of ? and i think YOU like this version of matt fryer better ....still funny as the course is gorgeous so losing nothing and gaining a better level of mental health :)

[@andrewjgordon1372]

Overall, Matt, that was some pretty solid golf yes the putter wasn't really hot but as I was told by an old pga pro I've you can 2 putt every green your not going to be to far wrong score wise for the handicap golfer a wee bit different for you but on another day I bet 2 or 3 of those close efforts would possibly drop.. Now to the driver, oh boy it is definitely not behaving, question what's your 3 wood doing 😊 Another great vlog these red ones are very enjoyable 👍

[@mikecarlstrom6749]

You should play it again, but utilize driver or 3 wood more. See what you would score. You hit your two iron awesome, but leave very long approach shots, even for a pro. I would play this course from the whites and be happy to break 100😂. Greta golf and appreciate the positive attitude. Thanks

[@vegastjg]

If you are serious about qualifying, then you should play this course as much as possible over this upcoming year you could even have a series called "My road to qualifying for the Open" I believe we would all watch that. Best of luck to all the golfers.

[@simonwallis84]

12th,don’t do it Matt!! You did !! Hero shot works 60% of the time every time 😂

[@npirish425]

Are you still enjoying graphite shafts?

[@diannemercieca6731]

Great content

[@peterandresen328]

Great example of a golf round that brings all aspects of this Stupid game into play . Tough conditions, a few odd swings and bounces leaves us scrambling.❤

[@williamcolemansgardenandal9017]

What you need is a hole in one, have you had one by any chance?

[@kongeorgiadiswouldntmindtr6506]

Matt, why isn’t your 3 wood your fairway finder?

[@runehojfeldt]

Hey positive Matt!!! 😁😁😁

[@RoyWest-y5f]

Great course management especially on hole 12!

[@JamesShumacker]

Matt, it would be interesting to do a round without talking to us while you play. Film it and do commentary afterward, and see if that makes a difference in your score or concentration. After all, in a competition, you are really not talking, so the dynamic is very different.

[@jaseishappy]

Golf for you that I would like to see you go back there and have a match vs Carter or Finch or someone

[@peterb652]

That was an interesting round to watch. I think you possibly got too conservative off the tee and left yourself some pretty long approach shots. That in turn makes getting close to the pin difficult, so you're relying on long putts for birdies. I thought 3 wood might have been a better option on some holes - more risky, but hit well gives you shorter approaches and the chance to put the ball close. It does bring more trouble into play off the tee, though, so I suppose it depends on how confident you feel with 3 wood on the day. You did seem to be losing your wood shots to the right, largely, so maybe the 2-iron strategy was the wiser move on the day.

[@stuartmccafferty8964]

I love it. Stupid boy, stupid game. We’re all the same… we ignore the challenge and we see an opportunity. That moment of madness when we believe we are Seve 😂😂😂 Your round was so top notch at the start. Far better than the open. Stop scoring in your head. It is your downfall. May the force be with you.

[@stewartadams4611]

I think a decent round given the conditions Matt. But that decision on 12 mate, oh dear🤦‍♂️ I know the 2-iron works as a fairway finder, but can't help thinking a lower score is on the cards if you get the big stick or 3-wood out and take on some of those bunkers. Here's me, giving advice to a Pro about lowering scores.😂

[@seanmonaghan4504]

Fulford is the biggest test of driving long and narrow.

[@BrianOSullivan-tb3if]

Very tricky tight course….

[@markryan2896]

Marker 45:43 Matt Fryer round summed up.

[@michzar1978]

It would be nice to see the difference without the impression of the Q - good luck!

[@lexxwhite747]

2 stroke penalty for damaging the tree 😂😂

[@SB-sj4uz]

Playing safe on every hole, then the one shot from the woods when you should have taken your medicine and you attempt the impossible shot😂. We have all been there

[@aussie5941]

One day in the near future, Matt, Pete and Rick might walk onto the green and have a look at where they want to land the ball and how it will roll out, before they chip over a bunker.😂 Instead they just hit and hope and then tell us all, how stupid the game is, or how bad the swing was, or how early it is. Excuses.

[@CarlBroadbent]

Looks like it was playing a lot harder in this video. Windy, wetter etc I’ll be there next year to watch you get another hole in one on camera. I won’t shout as loud as I did. you can hear me on camera 😂😂

[@garethshepperson523]

Hey positive Matt! How you doing? 🤣🤣 Stupid Game!

[@peterjones8618]

Can’t reach the bunker. Oh went by the bunker

[@johndonaghy5674]

Just a practice day for his 2 iron

[@The-OC]

Oh you did open qualifying... You hadn't mentioned it.! 😂😂

[@JC-kf7tv]

You need to stay positive and enforce a course management plan...stupid/hero shots are normally very costly

[@golfbn]

Its funny how over 18 holes even when we try to play conservative at some point we think we can thread the needle and give it a try (usually with horrible results) I think hole 12 cost you 2 shots, and then the hangover cost you another on the next hole. So I would see you 3 strokes better without the brain fart on 12. 😂😂😎😎👍👍

[@jonathanclarke8927]

Car crash 😂😂😂 I almost wet myself Matt.

[@Compete8]

Gotta take your medicine sometimes Matt

[@howardkennerley4679]

Harder you hit it straighter it goes , no commitment from the t box

[@billbonnington7916]

I know just how you felt.

[@montegustafson5142]

Well, um, perhaps if you had followed those "5 Simple Tips that Guarantee Perfect Drives" per your video of a couple of days ago, maybe you would have pulled the driver out more often....ya think?

[@BrianLowe-oq9mj]

If you were a prize-fighter you'd never stay down on the canvas. But the trick is to avoid being hit.

[@manbearpig7359]

If you can just get rid of those 3 putts on the par 5s, you will get your handicap down to single figures in no time. 😂😂

[@BrianRush-y5x]

Garrick Camp

[@Midlifetentboxers]

More aggressive off tee you’d have smashed it. ESP on 12 then you wouldntt be chipping out. Loads better.

[@Gralem02]

Love the content. What a stupid game.

[@paulwilson90]

You saying stay positive but didn't seem your head wasn't saying the same thing need to believe in your self more but enjoyed video

[@chandlerbryan1793]

Veeeerrrry silly not to go sideways out of the woods, tsk tsk.

[@montegustafson5142]

"Lot's to take away (from the round)"....."Lot's to take away"..... OK, like what?

[@tehhud5]

All for course management, but you’re literally scared to hit driver. 450 yard holes and hitting irons off the tee and leaving 170/180/190 in. You don’t score from these yardages. 570 yard par 5, iron off the tee and make bogey. Hit it far and use the scoring clubs. You have a negative mindset and it’s a touch embarrassing. Go out and attack the golf course properly.

[@gareth177]

Stupid is as stupid does.

[@danfields3341]

So the moral of the story is .... Irons only?

[@davidmooredcupool]

The sound off your putter is offensive

[@Steve2024-y6h]

Stupid game? Stupid shot…take your medicine.

[@iainsmith2434]

Just admit it, you are not a favourite of the golfing gods 😅

[@HarryNettleton]

Saw you playing on 5 as i was on 14, missed that 2ft putt and went back to film it. No integrity but ok golfer

[@Pearce200]

I don’t believe he did that

[@peterjones8618]

It didn’t feel right. So casual.

[@VerityEddy-ov9nz]

Is that true?

[@michellegiffin7218]

Is this true??? I hope not…

[@allenparker2690]

Hmm doesn't show a "missed" 2-3 footer on 5 but shows the missed 3 footer on six for Bogey. Seems like he is showing us more than is being made out by this comment. Not saying these KZbin golfers show us everything however, why show one missed putt and not another?

[@russelldronfield-ht2es]

Golf is a bitch. Best of luck for next time

[@scrubgolf1351]

You cheated on hole 5 I believe ? Can you clarify.

[@bjm2762]

Good god matt. How to talk yourself into a stupid shot with no conviction. Even I wouldn't go for that as a 16hcap. Head gone now.

[@aussie5941]

You should have donated yourself, right into the hedge, not the ball. Your bad management, better know as your ego, cost you big time.

[@edanzore]

Some of the worst course management from an instructor. Rubbish

[@stevencoutts8566]

Mate your breathing on videos is ridiculous sounds like you have run a marathon wow!! Move that microphone 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@blue24563]

35:14 the game isn’t stupid. Your decision-making and attitude was.

[@stuarthall378]

Did you hear the tree's reply to " You are a pain " - i heard it whisper " you are an idiot "

[@Graham.Brisbane]

Some really great golf Matt, a little lack of concentration with your first bogey put and not taking your medicine cost you dearly pal, not criticism as I'm a 13 handicap and just as guilty. But positive Matt is great to see ⛳️🏌🏻‍♂️👍
