My Lesson From The Best Putting Coach In The World. Brad Faxon W/ Iona

[@fruityone4233]

Iona you are epitome of intelligence, humour and class. You have an incredibile ability to make the person you are speaking to relax into the moment and reveal truths they perhaps hadn’t thought about. The gold standard of sports interviewer. 👏👏

[@nathanwilliams4179]

That comes from being a great listener. Investing her energy and attention and the interviewers feel that energy.

[@geraldshelton332]

Lots of great ideas we can all use, thanks 😊

[@MrJohnr47]

Honestly you could say the say thing about Brad

[@keernhaslem1845]

Knowing Iona would make anyone a better person

[@geoffredrup9616]

So, there I was thinking do I really want to sit through over an hour watching a putting lesson and then when it finished I wished it was at least double the length! Absolutely fascinating.

[@Quadz10]

Didn’t feel like an hour watching this…I could watch content like this all day. So authentic and captivating because it felt like I was there.

[@jimpoole1506]

This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. They’re both incredibly interesting and make a great team.

[@ronmonks6325]

If all people were like Iona and Brad, there would be no problems in the world.

[@stanmans]

World leaders

[@stanmans]

@@ronmonks6325 that’s a big task but I believe they could handle it with ease. A perfect lesson and interview with two charming, delightful and intelligent people. The world needs more Iona’s and Brads

[@Nadia_Milkova]

That's racist. White Supremacist much?

[@Butlins14]

There probably wouldn't be anything other than putting coaches and TV presenters though which wouldn't work out very well😂

[@winstonsmith11]

​@@Butlins14Yeah. Not much would get done 😂

[@rdm1000]

Brad is the kind of teach one would want for golf, or any other subject on the planet. He is diligent, focused, knowledgeable, encouraging, positive and genuinely wants a student who is or will be better leaving than when she arrived. How great is that. A superb episode. Iona, I think you have already separated yourself from the pack to become the premier golf announcer/content provider.

[@mattk2531]

One of the more incredible hours I’ve spent on this platform. Simply brilliant content

[@jakeruiz7421]

9:59 I appreciate your ability to say that you’ve never thought about swing weight for putter. When people are faced with questions they don’t know I feel like they bullshit their way through an answer as opposed to just admitting they don’t know. That’s refreshing, Iona!

[@markvpinkham]

Watching your interviews is like enjoying a fine meal paired with a fine wine. Thank you Iona!

[@danstanford3071]

I have always enjoyed your openness and vulnerability Iona but when you said “every bit of my soul wants to putt like this Brad”, I fell head over heels. Thanks for being so honest with us!

[@jadesmith6823]

Utterly Brilliant ❤ As a 46 year old Australian lad who fell in love with this beautiful game at the age of 11. I tip my hat to this man not only for his exceptional endurance and top end ability as a player and now an exceptional mentor but, how in the 1990's to 2000's actually came to Australia in supporting out local tour... Not many PGA pros made the effort to play our beautiful courses..(they still don't 🤦) Brad did! Bloody legend for doing so and many kids at the time took something from it. Thus is probably why we have been second to none in supporting LIV and its commitment in bringing top end players to our country however, I digress. Thanks for yet again one well produced and most entertaining and educational production young lady. Happy hitting all ❤⛳️🇦🇺❤

[@timothywinters7304]

I am 58 played golf for 30 years. Brad is a great teacher.

[@PMMeiners]

Wow, Brad Faxon's really nailing it in this video. The guy's got such a chill vibe when he's coaching - super laid-back but dropping some serious golf wisdom. You can tell he knows his stuff, but there's zero ego. Just good, solid advice without any fuss. Big props to Iona and the crew for putting this out there. It's awesome to see a pro like Faxon sharing his tricks of the trade in such a down-to-earth way. Whether you're struggling with your swing or just looking to up your game, this video's got the goods. Faxon's approach is like that cool teacher you always wished you had - the one who makes learning feel easy and fun. If you're into golf and want some top-notch tips without the stuffy attitude, definitely give this a watch.

[@stanmans]

@@PMMeiners let’s give a big hand to Iona also. She is a real diamond in a world of phonies

[@gerryheaton6079]

A good interviewer allows people to talk. Iona nails it every time, with grace, intelligence and a deep sense of care for the interviewee. Magic

[@johnbryant8394]

I loved his double take on Iona’s “it didn’t have the porridge” comment!

[@Skeeta56]

Ahh . . . My Scottish friend chatting with the “guru” of my weakness. Tea in hand for the “schooling” I’m about to receive. Kudos to your crew for bringing out the very best of exceptional people. I’m only 10 minutes in and my heart beat is a calm 56 strokes per minute . . . resting on every word spilling across your tongues. You two have made a great day better. What a “peach”?!!! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us in North Carolina! Best wishes to your Open Qualifying efforts!!!

[@rickggrick778]

Iona metaphorically smashes it over the netting at the back of the range. A sublime mix of technical and personal focus woven into an engaging whole. Good work again Iona.

[@optoomistic]

Not that this video really NEEDS another comment regarding its incredible vibe and value but here I am giving kudos to the post production team for keeping or setting the vibe with the wonderfully subtle tone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@jimm.3845]

I'm not a golfer but I played other sports to a reasonable level. The fact that I listened intently to this content for a full hour is a testament to you both. Thank you.

[@nigelmaidment7997]

Well done Iona….you introduced a putting Guru to a “wee tickle!” This is a great vlog, thank you

[@82slater]

Iona, That was an absolute joy to watch. There were some great tips in there. What an interesting person Brad Faxon is. You and your team make some outstanding content that we all enjoy and look forward to watching, so thank you for sharing it with us.

[@nickklinsman4432]

What a lovely man , great to see him up close, great thoughts, brilliant content from you both , love it.

[@jamieeborall596]

Another wonderful encounter, Keep it up Iona. Amazing to watch.

[@Wilburbruh]

This might be some of the best golf content on KZbin. Thank you for giving us a chance to hear from people as influential and skilled as Brad and yourself, Iona!

[@TimSuttonGolf]

Just so good. Your reaction to that last putt brought tears to my eyes. So nice seeing someone succeeding so gracefully :)

[@henrikholmberg9128]

This is the best golf video I have seen by far🙏Thanks Iona and Brad for the relaxade, open and generous attitudes. Golf instruction is about demystifying and making the difficult understandable. This is what this video did 👍

[@moragredford5698]

The best golf content around…so natural and not full of bs. Iona, it must’ve been gutting when you gave up pro golf till now but you really have a gift for presenting and broadcasting. See you at St Andrews for the ladies Open, Mo, Inverurie

[@scottgreen1945]

Without a doubt the best video I’ve seen in golf. Iona really has the skill needed for this. It’s a real shame we never got to see her compete professionally, but we do get to see her KZbin and tv work….excellent video and I also like Brads approach, it seems so natural.

[@mpdonn317130]

Brad Faxon, legend! The look on your face at the end of the video after the putt that fell (1:00:23), priceless! Brad’s verbal, coaching throughout is so professional, smooth, and on point. Great video! MD

[@pieman2010]

Fantastic video. Brad makes everything so simple. Felt great seeing you make that last putt, Iona!

[@michaelcagney1649]

Iona and Brad ...... I've taken a few pointers from this episode and my putting has improved! Thanks!

[@johntatum1951]

Thanks Iona, enjoyed your time with Brad Faxon...and glad you will use some of his tips going forward...I know I will be using his tips with my putting.

[@PetSKi67]

1:01:33 I just love, what Brad said: - You must be more athletic with your putting. The reference between a quarterback getting ready to throw the ball was so, so spot on. Too many people get stuck with the idea of making a perfect stroke rather than connecting with the target and let the putt go.

[@williamg007]

What a wonderful, interesting watch. 2 very lovely people - humble, professional, gentle.

[@paulvanloon1094]

Without doubt and by a long long way the best video you have done and you have done some great ones. I have sent this to all my golfing mates. So instructive and useable by and for the average golfer. More of these PLEASE !!!!

[@ryanorndorff234]

Brilliant! One of the best interviews and great insights. Will add this to my favorites and watch over and over. Great stuff Iona.

[@weskroes8422]

Such great chemistry. Such a strong player coach connection. I just love genuine, great people. Thanks Brad for introducing me to Iona. I’m a new fan🤘

[@Neusgarau]

Another magnificent interview. Cannot get enough of this content, congrats Iona and Brad. Cannot wait to hit the greens

[@tonyblakemore8250]

Run out of words to try and describe how good your Vlogs are, just seem to get better and better. Thank you so much for giving me an hour of pure enjoyment, it was fun and informative, a touch of seriousness, made me smile lots and all I can say is borrow one of your favourite words and say yet again Phenomenal.

[@stevenufc1975]

Watching this was an hour well spent. Brad is super knowledgeable, and Iona is always a pleasure to listen to. Would love to get 18 holes with you Iona and pick your brains on all things golf, life and the universe !

[@jeromythomason9134]

Thank you Iona for truly amazing, inspiring and informative content. Your videos are my favorite by far.

[@charlesmarshall1309]

High quality, interesting content, as usual. One of very few golf channels on YT that it’s really worth subscribing to.

[@TheStig1712]

Worth the free subscription? 😂

[@andytheeagle]

Another wonderfully inspiring video. Not only a putting lesson but an insight to the world of a man we all admire. Thank you.

[@russellfothergill9082]

Another lovely video. Your videos are so calming and make me realise why I so love golf

[@jaycarpenter5474]

Thank you Iona. So much really good info in this video that applies to golfers of any ability. Brad is a wizard for sure.

[@colinsloan4403]

This is a very nice video, not only for the putting tips but just because it’s an intelligent heartfelt conversation between two decent people. Thanks,

[@micksumo]

This is so good iona.... I've not made it past Brad talking about putting yet.... just have it on loop... I love your reactions as well when Brad says something and your brains ticking over.... so so good... 🏌‍♂️⛳💚 this is like the butch or scotty one i will need to watch it 10 times and still get something new out of it....

[@5RustyBin]

Great coaching lesson and obvious why he is viewed as one of the world's best. Thanks for sharing Iona - from Paisley

[@adavis8423]

Thanks for exposing the world to these wonderful minds Iona

[@thehighlandhamster]

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. Iona is such a natural person and Brad Faxon is a great coach - his advice is so simple but insightful. A really good video, well edited and filmed. Thank you.

[@rufussthoo4083]

Bloody brilliant, Iona (and team) and Brad. Simply bloody brilliant 😊

[@russellmorrison1559]

Great watch. If there’s a better golf content creator than Iona out there , I’ve not found them yet !

[@brianmort]

Super Vid Iona, I watched Faxon growing up, such a lethal putter, and to listen to the science and detail coupled with natural talent is enlightening

[@karlportsmouth5571]

Absolutely brilliant,that is really instructional as well as being an interesting chat. Iona knocks it out the park....again

[@chris-qq4nr]

Wonderful video. I, too, felt that "something neurological" happened with my putting grips I went with the same grip as Iona. Feels much better.

[@biggie686]

Love these interviews. You really drill into the essence of the person, who they really are. Was like this with Butch Harmon as well. Unreal

[@timrocho]

Watched this with my morning coffee. Put on my golf gear, went to the range. Usually a good putter, I've been well below norm for a while. Picked out a straight 15 foot put, made a conscious effort to go through my setup, stand up straighter and let the putter flow freely. Made the first 4 in a row, 7 or 8 out of 10. Was making putts from all over. Nice strikes, consistent (holing) ball speed. Thanks Iona and Brad.

[@Tiger5672]

Iona, i could watch you and Brad talk about golf all day!

[@rangerofthenorth2850]

Best putter in the world and the genuinely loveliest woman in the world. Great video.

[@Looprevil77]

You most certainly have the porridge Iona lol. On a serious note this is my favourite video of yours and I’ve seen them all. You are so incredible presenting I’m sure mainstream tv will / has come a calling. All I ask is PLEASE when they do don’t stop making these videos. You are an exceptional presenter x

[@Looprevil77]

@@whenisasnakeatail4933 I mean mainstream as in away from golf showbiz etc BBC etc etc

[@ryanorndorff234]

Brilliant! One of the best interviews and such great insights. Will add this as a favorite and rewatch over and over. Great stuff Iona.

[@baggermike3186]

Love this content, a great mix of education and getting to know Brad Faxon. That hour went by fast.

[@57sapke]

I always love to see your interviews and you're such a likeable person.

[@Peter4253]

What a great putting lesson…thank you very much for posting👍

[@bux46a]

I don't think I have ever listened to a video as intently as this one.... And could not believe I had done so for over an hour.... What more could anyone want on a Monday afternoon but to lose themselves in pure bliss..... Iona I will be watching for your new set up now on everything you post... Great stuff Lassie.

[@MoodyMike007]

What a wonderful pair of professionals you both are. Engrossing, delightful chat and teaching on show, beautifully edited I imagine. Thank you all so much. Again. Great team.

[@buckolocke]

Love Brad and has been my icon through my whole golfing career/time. Watch all his videos and remember watching him heaps back in the day...throw in Iona and its a perfect combination for the perfect putting tutorial. Thanks You Both.

[@stanmans]

Iona, where have you been? I was not familiar with your name and just by chance I came-across your website. Iona, to add to your mastery of explaining and teaching golf you are the brightest star in the sport. Every golfer from junior to professional should be required to watch your videos to learn what it means to not only be a star but more important to the game and all other sports what it means to be humble. No big ego, no attitude. Just an everyday man or woman. Iona, you are a delight. An outstanding interview. You make the interviewee comfortable and relaxed and you have the ability to pull info out that they would prefer to have hidden.

[@Principal9999]

You again knocked it out of the park with this one....loved it. Thank you, Iona.

[@TitleWaive1]

You're one of the best putters I've seen in KZbin golf space. You rarely miss from 5 feet and in on your videos. I'd be thrilled to have your consistency.

[@SimonLee-e9q]

Simply the best content on golf - thank you Iona.

[@shoutinghorse]

"Didn't have the porridge" (55:57) I'm stealing that 😁

[@MrBrokentowels]

I love how candid she was with her process. Some points were exactly my thought process for better or worse. More of these please!

[@colleenscorfield3505]

Brilliant insight and a lesson for all both from putting and teaching.

[@wmbice]

Iona! You have a gentle and kind intelligence that speaks volumes about how you are as a person and a professional. You are also willing to share a vulnerability about yourself that we as golfers can all find relatable. I will follow Brad's advise as you organically find your place here on KZbin and the rest of the golfing world. Just know that you and your talents are truly appreciated. Thank you! : )

[@hakanpalmgren882]

You two are the best influencers in todays golf with your personalities! Great to see you both and share your thoughts with us! Thanks, H

[@colinturner5035]

Another great video Iona. It felt like a super intense therapy session but yet like a relaxing massage. I look forward to seeing you applying these tips while you chase the red.

serious one of the best interviewers on KZbin. Plus being Brad, what an amazing watch..

[@stuartanderson3547]

This is absolutely brilliant! 🤩 Could watch for another 61 minutes. The genuine friendship between Iona and Brad is obvious. Just a shame that Brad doesn’t have ‘wee tickle’ and ‘porridge’ as part of his coaching vocabulary 😂

[@dakdak7609]

Enjoyed that. And once again Iona has the sun on her, how do you manage it?!

[@winstonsmith11]

This was wonderful. I have many of the same tendencies as Iona. It felt as though I was getting a lesson from Brad, myself. Thank you

[@hansvanpelt245]

Impressed? You are impressive Iona, content that hits golf interest while adding golf know how for us club players needing all the help we can get 😂 Thanks again

[@pramodzen]

Really informative with lot of take away points in this 1 hour virtual session as explained by best putter the world ever had.

[@AndyGlavac]

A great video Brad and Iona work great together . Fax is a great guy Many years ago I was a volunteer scorer at The Canadian Open. I had Fax on the 3rd round Saturday, he was leading . We walked together for 18 holes having great conversation. In the end he said, thanks for keeping me loose. On Number 18 at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, he gave us a quick putting lesson. If you do nothing else, focus on speed . I never forgot this

[@pauljohnstone8853]

These are the best type of interview / lessons on the internet Iona is brilliant at it 👍

[@billc73]

Another epic video Iona. Your love of the game comes thru in every video and then when you add in Brad’s love of the game it was a pleasure to watch.

[@michaelheinz3954]

So lovely to see Brad Faxon on your channel. He's been a hero of mine since the 90ies. Back then Titleist released a set of signature wedges. I still cherish my well worn 56° BF wedge I bought back then, fantastic tool.

[@wendybrookes1878]

Loved this video. I thought you were a great putter already, now you will be even more brilliant.

[@tdave12]

Iona is a jewel. Love her more than "a wee tickle". Thanks for the video

Thank you, so much good advice, Brad is a great get 👏

[@petermaher5156]

Iona, another brilliant video from you and your team. As many have already commented, your interviewing skills are absolutely brilliant and the results for the audience are outstanding. You also have a talent for identifying, and presenting, excellent guests from a variety of backgrounds (but I like that there is always a link with the game of golf). Always looking forward to the next in this excellent series.

[@PHM17]

This is an incredible video. Brilliant insight, love the way Brad talks about putting.

[@davechodgins]

Iona, I appreciate your videos but haven't commented before. The one with Sam Torrance I found had me between a permanent smile and a lump in my throat. This one I watched with real interest because as a youth and younger man I was a really good putter, now as a senior, not playing often enough, it's a struggle so I was looking for some pointers and think there are things I can take from that. However what I really wanted to say is that it was a joy listening to you and Brad, both inspirational in your own ways. Thank you and good luck.

[@christophercoleman857]

Excellent in every way. A real eye opener.

[@chetranqui]

It's always a pleasure to sit in on a conversation with you about golf, Iona!
