PYLE & KENFIG GOLF CLUB

PYLE & KENFIG GOLF CLUB
We are on a South Wales tour and at the beautiful Pyle & Kenfig Golf Club which is a 40 minute drive from Cardiff.
Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club was formed by the golfers of the Newton Nottage Golf Club, a club itself formed in 1919, the nine hole P & K course was opened Saturday 29th July 1922.
P & K has arguably the best back nine of any links golf course in the world and has hosted a number of fantastic events.
In 2017 Pyle & Kenfig Golf hosted the Ladies British Amateur Golf Tournament for the first time. This is one of the top Ladies amateur events in the world and the club was delighted to be chosen to host such a prolific tournament.
The Senior Open Championship was back in South Wales in 2017 for a second time and Pyle and Kenfig once again hosted the pre-qualifying for the event.
Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club co-hosted the British Amateur Championship in 2016 with their neighbours at Royal Porthcawl G.C. This was the third time the R&A had chosen Pyle and Kenfig to co-host this event, the last time being June 2002 where competitors played 36 holes over the first two days - one round at Pyle and Kenfig and the other at nearby Porthcawl - and the leading 64 qualified for the matchplay stages at Porthcawl, ending in the final on Saturday 8th June with Alejandro Larrazabal of Spain emerging as the victor. 1988 was the previous time the event was held at both courses and on that occasion a Swedish national Christian Hardin took the title.
During 2006 Pyle and Kenfig Golf Club hosted the Men's Home Internationals featuring all the top amateurs from Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England including Irelands Rory McIlroy (Holywood).

Dan, that was absolutely superb. The editing was just brilliant. Any club that wants to raise its profile in social media needs to pick up the phone or type away on that keyboard and contact you. Brilliant, mate. Top Job.

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Thanks Tim, very kind 👍

[@steveford11]

Anybody else now watching the whole vlog again? fantastic work guys 👏👏👏

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

👍😉

[@andrewjohnston5942]

Maybe I’m just a “golf nerd” but I love these vlogs talking to the guys from the Golf Clubs that you play at. Like the background, history et all.

[@valhaynes8973]

I’m absolutely convinced that your channel with your close group of friends is by far the best on UTUBE. No egos, no nasty sniping, just educational golf played in a fun atmosphere. Lester is a national treasure and brings a sense of fun to any of the videos. Please keep it up. 😀

[@francismcclard7851]

Beautiful course. I’ve never played a links course , on my bucket list... thanks for the share and great video. I’m fairly new to your channel and enjoy your content.

[@jeffpound259]

The back nine you could play for ever beautiful

[@Bast-kavothe]

Love the channel. Your mention of porthcawl caught my ear. My great grandfather won the welsh championship there in 1907. Sadly I’m not a chip off the old block 🤣

[@stephenbrown1237]

The diversity of the videos you post is excellent. You and the rest of the team are doing a brilliant job.

[@rodneymounsey4168]

That, is a beautiful golf course!

[@charlesharrison6291]

What a stunning looking golf course. You must have enjoyed your round there. I cannot wait for lockdown to end and then we can do what we want to do namely play golf again. Looking forward to your next video.

[@stevebrown5430]

These bolt on videos to the course vlog are so informative and a great addition to the channel. Keep up the great work guys.

[@juergensalscheider7005]

I really like these add-on videos with background stories and additional information. I‘ve never seen these anywhere else and consider them as a standout feature of your channel. Very well done!

[@johnsadler6441]

Nicely done Dan, much appreciated

[@williamcoulter9659]

I enjoy these videos which give a little behind the scene look at the courses you visit. Keep the good videos coming.

[@PMMeiners]

I really like these specific golf course videos. I won’t mind if you would make them even longer. Great stuff.

[@HWWlInsuranceLawAcademy]

One of your best videos yet. Nice job!

[@abritinva1]

Such a great video! Well done. Such a beautiful course.

[@richardjames5700]

Really good Dan - live the background info on the vlogs and especially where there is so much history and great environmental work going on - great stuff and the drone shots were great - top work Lee!

[@jamesrees4156]

I used to have county lessons as a junior in the early 2000’s at Pyle & Kenfig. I used to hate going because I used to hate how difficult the course was and how brutal the weather was. I’ve since moved to Australia and am now playing off a 3 handicap and matured as a golfer. After watching this video I am so so excited to get back home to wales (a. to see my family) and play this beautiful looking course. I really under appreciated the quality of this course. Your video footage of the back 9 looks unreal. Love your work guys.

[@davepalmerton2429]

A nice look at a beautiful course.

[@thehighlandhamster]

Looks a lovely course.

[@akshayunited]

Brilliant video

[@brendensmith1616]

To echo many of the comments below, the additional videos following up the vlogs have been incredible. It is so cool to see the work these courses are doing to keep the golf experience exceptional while also prioritizing minimal environmental impact.

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Thank you Brenden

[@stevewhiting5672]

Love these type of videos good information 👍

[@joehunt6321]

great video. nice to see behind the scenes. Hopefully will get to play Pyle & Kenfig this year. Looks absolutely stunning.

[@joeperez3520]

Very entertaining. More videos like this, please.

[@matthewosborne344]

Just brilliant

[@markscars1069]

Impressive production values here again. Lee’s handiwork one assumes. Shout out for Dan too, clearly listening and letting the guys properly answer. I’ll have to pop in to P&K when we’re allowed to visit the family later in the year. Looks lovely. Didn’t really play golf growing up locally, catching up in later life.

[@jeffbates5401]

Dan great video!!!!

[@83greent]

Erik Anders Lang artistic feel this and very enjoyable 👌🏻

[@FF04RDF]

Very good....

[@mjsgolf7004]

Very good Dan, shows off the effort by the club and the results too. Lovely looking course and a trip down memory lane for you and Paul, nice to remember your grandparents. Glad you included a putt on the green where Lester had his buggy incident, we constantly need to be reminded of that !!

[@nevillehubbard7347]

Fascinating stuff. Very interesting interviews and the course looks stunning! Excellent TV and it looks a much more interesting course than "the boys" annual jaunt to the, over-commercialised, too slow & long (2010, at least) for an old man like me, Celtic Manor!!!

[@JP-si6ok]

Great footage and editing - well done gang! I love these little interview videos - really aid to the content.

[@saneeric6242]

Lovely to see my home course portrayed in this video, absolutely sterling effort on the video. Can't wait to get back out there, but your videos are helping with the lockdown.

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

👍

[@danbaylis7500]

Loving these style of videos. There is so much more to a golf club than just the golf course. Hoping you hit Dorset when lockdown is over.

[@tom-fp7vi]

great vid.

[@alistairmorgan47]

If countryfile did golf courses! Quality review. A course I played a lot as kid in all weathers and was a real test, brings back memories. Also liked Langland bay which is worth a look.

[@malcolm1170]

can't wait to go play this in June

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

You will love it 👍

[@richardcrook8062]

Will Farley let’s organise a trip to these two courses in the summer 👍👍

[@williamfarley4044]

Yeah I’m keen

[@richiep7094]

My Grandad lived in Porthcawl too Dan. Spent many a summer holiday down on Coney beach ! Sadly I didn’t play golf as a youngster but may have to pay a visit to Pyle and Kenfig. Still need to get to Royal Porthcawl too.

[@davidballard9781]

I have to say I’m a bit jealous seeing these cracking courses I think I’ve grown up in the wrong part of the country lol.Fantastic learning what work courses like these have to do not just cutting grass brilliant,the truth is most people don’t understand what may go into some of the courses around the country/world I certainly know that when I watch these videos I learn a lot more of what goes on and realise how much we may loose out at our course but also the reasons why we don’t get things done at ours (price,money,and ability)anyway keep them coming dan

[@jeffto23ify]

Very good that Dan a great insight to how the golf course is in harmony with nature . Still improving the course and facility's

[@robmac9733]

Definitely on my list of courses to go and play having seen your vlog. Wales has some amazing golf courses for sure. My personal favourite is Royal St Davids in Harlech. But there are so many to choose from.

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

RSD is a great course also 👍

[@beachfraser3747]

Lovely vlog , well done

[@normandalgarno3242]

Truly great video Dan and so informative. I watched the series you guys played there but held off on this. I mistakenly thought this video was just a drone flyover. You seem to have a natural ability with film. Keep up the great work! It seems to me that Pyle and Kenfig was created by Mother Nature, then caressed into being and nurtured by some wonderful artists to become a true jewel.

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Thanks for watching Norman 👍

[@robertoreilly9783]

A wonderful video / part vlog...some amazing photography, with great accompanying music. Your Welsh trip has put it on my 2021 wish list. Vlog idea...perhaps film a hole during an upcoming vlog from start to finish using the drone and cameras placed for the likely ball landing area...no talking about what you intend to do, just start it from the drive and finish at the putt and have some cool music in there.

[@cameronmitchell8440]

First interesting video

[@JLMedialtd]

Beautiful video gents. Really love the interesting content and information, really love the calming feel. Backing music is superb and awesome attention to detail on the beats coming in when balls are hit and ‘yes’ I totally noticed and ‘loved’ the level water horizons. Looks sooooo nice and so polished guys, you should feel proud of this. The colouring is gorgeous as well on the drone shots. Superb work all round. #ilikethat

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Thanks Jason, it takes a while to put these videos together but really enjoy creating them 👍

[@JLMedialtd]

@@DanHendriksenGolf I can imagine just how long it takes. It’s hard enough with photography editing let alone hours of footage to cut and paste. Enjoying it is an absolute must and it shows in the finished result.

[@spcyman7209]

Played there several times and some of my friends are members. It’s a quality track.

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

It’s a great course 👍

[@davidsalmon5466]

Played at P&K as well as Royal Porthcawl for our company golf week in 2018, both very different but loved playing both courses immensely 👍

[@davidwharton6333]

Enjoy this course overviews

[@johnathonandrew8952]

Would love to play links golf, however for me I just don't think I am good enough yet. My mind has me in all kinds of trouble and I'm not even on the course

[@Jimmy-2-Times]

👍🏼

[@stevemottram5714]

Who is Rory McLroy? :)
