THE BRITISH MASTERS Invite | Sunday Morning Show

[@matthewmartindale4950]

How you've only got 41k subscribers I've no idea. Very professional videos, likeable characters, quality vlogs at great golf courses. You're nailing it Dan and Lester, maybe push the subscriptions a bit more like the other channels do.

[@chrislewis7]

Great to see Paul auditioning another putter in the Taylormade bay.

[@davedevine8695]

Lol!!

[@stevefowler2910]

hammer, nails or carpenter, what is the causer of bent nails ?

[@JaradPetroske]

I love the ASMR of golf shots on this channel. Nobody else seems to capture the sound of the impact like DHG.

[@philwinstanley7899]

My favourite Belfry moment was at the 1985 Ryder Cup. Not only did Europe win for the first time since 1957, in the team were 4 Spaniard's including Seve, my all time golfing hero.

[@CymruRJW]

Wow ! This was a great showcase and you did the British Masters proud, and The Belfry. Where are the Subscribers ?, they obviously prefer quantity over quality ! Keeping this quality takes a tremendous amount of work and team work !. Brilliant.

[@thehighlandhamster]

Fantastic show guys. The Belfry plays a little part in our family history. My 94 year old Father worked on the design and building of the M5 and M6 through the West Midlands in the 60's and early 70's. He used to stay at The Belfry before the golf course was built and it was a hotel. He always talks about the French maitre d' who worked there and was especially nice to him during his numerous stays. Whenever the golf came on (usually the Ryder Cup) he would always say: "I used to the stay there....".

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Love this Julian!

[@chazzlebazzle69]

I live 5mins from the Belfry & have been fortunate enough to volunteer for the many competitions held there....Peter Alliss had a helping hand in designing the course I believe

[@tylerlove2052]

Those facilities are just outrageous! Literally everything is right there for you. There are some fancy places here around Toronto, but most ranges are just outside only, hitting yellow 5 year old range balls into the abyss! I’d be a scratch instead of a 10 if I had that near me 😃 It amazes me there are as many guys on the PGA Tour from Canada as there are given the difference in facilities and length of the golf season. Great behind the scenes work Dan! Lester, hope you get your neck sorted out too!

[@bennycase8473]

Dan was thinking whilst you were in the media area should have interviewed Sir Lester Barnes about his tee shot at #10 and how he felt at that moment after coming off injury to make his mark at the Belfry. 😂 Shout out to all who made this Sunday Morning Show possible! Cheers!

[@duffer0309]

Dan wonderful Sunday Morning Show. I love the direction you are taking the Sunday Morning Show.

[@paulmilsom1346]

My wife and I went to the 1993 Ryder Cup, every day, including practise days, and remember following Nick Faldo for 13 holes, then decided to move and follow a different group, as I was walking away I heard this huge roar from the crowd, to then find out that he'd holed in one, and we missed it 😫

[@robmac9733]

Great show boys. I was lucky enough to go to all three day of the 1989 Ryder Cup at the Belfry. Followed the watch the match of Faldo/Woosnam vs Azinger/Beck all the way around. Also watched Ollie and Seve take Watson and O'Meara apart 6 and 5 playing in those snazzy pink jumpers. Also there again for the 1993 Ryder Cup when Sir Nick Faldo (then just Nick of course) hit the hole in one on the 14th. I asked him if his putter was for sale as he walked off the green. Got a wry smile back - which was something he never did in those days he was so focused. Great memories. Amazing venue.

[@peterrowe445]

Hi Dan,, Great Blog bring back good memories of the Belfrey when it first opened,it had few problems all sorted now. Played quite a few times in the late eighties,best memory 1984 the day after Seve won the open at St Andrews He came to Belfrey with Faldo,Travino,and Brain Waites, played a18 hole exhibition match in the afternoon. The morning session on the range,with Seve Finnishing off hitting 3 iron's kneeling down!.We all had lunch with the player's in a large marquee.,then the match was good fun especially from Lee Trevino he never stops talking. After the tee shots on the 18th walking alongside of Lee he asked me if there were fish in the lakes I answered yes but there's more golf balls than fish that made him chuckle 😂.Happy days.

[@nicknak5761]

I remember hiding behind one of the trees to the side of the iconic 10th green during two Ryder Cups, not knowing whether those teeing off were about to take on the dogleg in one or lay up. Great presentation today chaps, always look forward to your Sunday morning show.

[@kevinwood1722]

Easy to daydream looking at a beautiful place like that.

[@rolfvandulst1605]

Great insight from Joe the Pro on the added difficulty the pro's face when a course is tricked up for a tournament. Bernie synonymous with " Pain in the neck "🤣🤣🤣. Feel better soon!

[@jeffto23ify]

What a great Sunday morning show . So good to see all the facilities at the Belfry . well done to all you lads hitting the green on the 10th superb .

[@andrewjohnston5942]

Brilliant behind the scenes insight to The Belfry. Great Sunday morning show

[@tannachiesteve]

The Belfry is a great venue to visit and play. Even for someone like me (23 handicap) who last time, struggled round the Derby course, hacked around the PGA National and then left the Brabazon for another day 😂😂 Hoping to get back there later this year but will be glued to the TV this week as I’m away on holiday in the 🌞😎👍🏼

[@bobratcliffe9653]

Hi Dan, another good Sunday Morning Show and ‘behind the scenes’ look at the Belfry. I’ve played there twice,(PGA National & Brabazon), it’s special place with so much history.

[@PMMeiners]

Joe the Pro is back 🥳 I can’t wait to see the vlog on the Belfry 🤩 What a great place ⛳️

[@dancorun6650]

Seve twice. The first was #10 The Hennessey Cup against Sir Nick Faldo. Seve drives the green (280 yards0 over the trees with a persimmon driver!! 1985 Ryder Cup and he drives the green over the water this time. IMHO people forget just how really, really great he was.

[@billdunlop8683]

You know how time flies when you're entertained, This 30 minute vid felt like it was only on for 5 minutes, Great job Dan/Bernie.

[@seanfowler5264]

Great video. What a setup! Christy O'Connor Jr 2 iron on the 18th is legendary. 💥🏌️‍♂️

[@steveahier7659]

What a great SMS vlog. Probably my favourite so far. I had a smile on my face watching from start to end. That is some very special practice facilities at The Belfry. Thanks to Dan and Dan. Oh btw nice shot Bernie on 10 👍

[@simonthorpe6971]

What an experience! Played the Brabazon, such an amazing weekend

[@stone7578]

All that insights behind the scenes are just brilliant .. thanks. Pleasure to watch

[@el_carbonara]

absolutely loved this weeks SMS. The belfry, what an amazing place, those fitting facilities with all the big brands is spectacular

[@Coinhunter-km4qo]

Well done guys. Wonderful venue. First, best wishes to Bernie on getting over his neck pain. As the years go by Bernie, the old body starts complaining more and more about the accumulated wear and tear. Second, thank you Dan for this well thought through look behind the scenes, very informative and interesting insights to how these venues set up for such events. Well done. Last, I was impressed again at how smooth Paul’s golf swing is, his balance and footwork during his golf swing is about the best I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to the coming videos from your round.

[@travisg.1310]

What an historical course! How lucky you guys are!

[@dinodocus7691]

Cracking Sunday Morning Show gents! Really enjoyed it

[@markbroderick1525]

Excellent show lads,best channel by far on you tube,you lads deserve a slot on sky sports👍⛳👏👏👏👏👏

[@markpreston6345]

Great show chaps…it doesn’t get much better than that! Looking forward to the vlogs big time 👍👍👍

[@martynmurfitt-wrather7555]

I think the ‘Christy O’Connor 2 iron & Sam’s birdie on 18 was my first viewing experience of Ryder Cup - great theatre! What an amazing driving range set up..I think I would happily while away a few hours there!

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

So much history at the venue Martyn.

[@jcbb30]

Absolutely love these type of vlogs, behind the scenes stuff. Looking forward to the upcoming playing vlog. 👍

[@rogerschuck5013]

played the Belfry last October as a birthday treat in good condition , but now fantastic condition set up properly, for competition golf . great behind the scenes vlog

[@davidpollard3921]

This type of content when you are at your best Great video

[@timothybevis6095]

That was a great Sunday show guys. Good shots into number 10 guys. Thanks

[@alistairmorgan47]

Fresh video, I’ve not looked forward to Sunday mornings like this since little house on the prairie and board stupid!

[@waynecooper9728]

lovely vlog, i played here 4 years ago , on the 18th i drove right next to the o,connor plake, and then duffed on into the water ,

[@somatata1]

what a surprise for the Sunday show CHUR

[@leeh2503]

I’ve played the brabazon and PGA Defo going to go back as looks like it come on so much and it was great when I played it years ago

[@andywalker3144]

Showing my age, Christie O'Connor Jnr's 2 iron in to 18, a shot for the ages, pure!!!

[@leighbonarski5431]

Love the Belfry! Great show 👏 👍

[@loutennant99]

Great show guys. Had chance to play there, fantastic experience even for a hacker.

[@barnabyhowe9999]

I’m lucky enough to live near the Belfry so it’s a venue I’ve visited many times. Great to see how it changes for pro events. I’m playing the brabazon in July for a mizuno event. I hope they don’t grow the rough up for that!!

[@roberthall5036]

I first played the Brabazon when it had just opened. I have forgotten how many years that is but every shot had to be played off a tee. I cannot recall how many strokes it took me but I loved every bit of it. Would like to play there again but I think the course would be too long for me nowadays.

[@nigelcooke8590]

Great memories of PGA training at the Bel Air sorry Belfry.. on a different note as soon as I saw Bernie say he was hitting Pauls 4 wood the mischievous side of me was going Roof It as paul’s reaction would have blown up KZbin 😂😂😂😂

[@philipreeve9764]

Another class video Dan and gang. Here is my issue with Top Tracer ranges - they very rarely offer a bay that you can just buy balls without using the top tracer system - you pay for it whatever. Personally I do not wish to pay double the price to be told how far a range ball goes which has no resemblance to normal golf ball distance. And to cap it all the system is not that accurate. Fantastic if it attracts youngsters to golf but give options. My local range has completed a Top Tracer refit, I no longer go, way too expensive for practice but great for kids and those having some fun but they must not loose the core people who go in the middle of winter to practice.

[@idttaylor1977]

Nice to see the academy at the Belfry, hoping to play there this summer. I think the 89 Ryder Cup was the first golf I watched on TV, although I can't remember much about it except it was a draw. If I was to pick one memory it would be the Faldo hole in one. Looking forward to Joe the Pro on this week's vlog

[@cartersmithgolf]

Great lads, enjoyed that. Visited the Ryder cup in 89 and 93 AMAZING, never knocked it on the tenth but always play it from Seves plack which as you know is longish (270ish carry although a little drop) and needs lots of fade because you can't even see the green very well. Also was doing PGA there in 1990. Happy memories.

[@markwalker521]

Super vid and filled with so much pre tournament info. Excellent

[@stevenharris5662]

Lovely change lads, hope you had a great time 👍

[@FrankBrickle]

Re: that hole in one, it should not be forgotten that Azinger then teed off and hit the pin with his shot.

[@annandm]

Was on the 18th when Christy hit his 2 iron onto the green. Remember booing the USA players wives as they walked by……… fun times! As for the 10th, I hit the green off the tee……. Unfortunately it was the 16th green. 10th tee only ever time I’ve seen championship tee further forward than normal medal tees..… to tempt the pros! Fun times!

[@patriciasteele9530]

Went to the 2002 ryder, got free tickets as my mums great uncle is Samuel Ryder, Had a run in with tiger, I was 10. Best day ever

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Love this Patricia! Great memories I bet!

[@micksimpson2727]

great stuff gents another classic

[@neilanderson7116]

Brilliant insight

[@Mboogie69]

I feel spoiled because my local public course has a very similar facility with indoor/outdoor fitting bays, top tracer range, and 3 short game practice holes of around 70 yds each. The best pro shop in the area and two courses all within 2 miles of my house is pretty nice. And best of all… the main course is called the Mackenzie course after the man himself that designed it so it’s full of Mackenzie slopes for Dan to talk about.

[@duncand1964]

Less than an hour away for me and yet I’ve never played any of the courses at the Belfry. Had a wander round last summer and it’s on bucket list. Fully agree with Top Tracer comments, my local course Branston G & CC has it and my son has taken up the game at 23 after playing the Fishing game… 👏

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

The Top Tracer facility certainly Is world class!

[@banditbaker1675]

Thanks for a great nostalgic SMS filmed at the Belfry👍 For a number of years, I was an MD of a company based a few miles from the Belfry and not far from the Forest of Arden. So I was fortunate to play the 3 courses at the Belfry & the 2 courses at the FoA entertaining customers & colleagues from overseas. But my best memories were reserved for Sam's Bar & the Bel-Air nightclub, such fun and some appalling hangovers🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

[@garysmith6994]

Remember seve hitting the 10th green when partnering olazabal fantastic

[@davidballard9781]

Great too see the course today unfortunately I can’t get there this year and I’ve never played there but is on my bucket list and would really love too play after one of these events just too see the difference on set ups of the course not that I am good enough too play what these guys play in there comps we were meant too play it a few years ago but covid took over one day though cheers dan and Bernie

[@jamesdaw131]

Think I am going on Friday to watch.

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Enjoy 😉

[@TimC887]

Amazing! So many memories from The Belfry as a habitual golf watcher for the past 35 years! Looking forward to the British Masters this week. Cheers boys!

[@danbag777]

I played the tenth in the front bunker into the water from the water to the back bunker stayed in the back bunker then chipped into the water and my friend birdied it. My visions of hitting it like Seve didn't last long.

[@bensonl0ndon967]

Enjoyable watch as always team

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Cheers Benson!

[@keithturner2081]

Going for it on the 10th!! Not the best idea for me, lefthander with a slice!!

[@alanheseltine7959]

What a great insight into the facilities and the upcoming tournament, you guys are still knocking it out of the park every week, well done Dan and Lester.

[@donaldmcintosh3871]

Really nice show one of your best!

[@rogertitcombe1870]

Top draw Sunday show guys 🙂

[@Bin-The-L-Plates]

Next level Sunday Morning Show guys, brilliant vlog and the channel just gets better and better. So much great content and fascinating to get a sneak peak as we’re going on Sunday to watch the Masters. Walking in Bernie’s footsteps, what an honour to follow the great man.

[@ThePorschetim]

Watching this while waiting to go and play lytham unfortunately its a little damp 🌨

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

Have fun 👍

[@PitchandPuttGolf]

Hopefully there Sunday

[@davidthomas4877]

Wonderful.

[@chompyb]

Fortunate to do all the ryder cups at the belfry. In 1985 Ken Brown carved his drive into a bad place on the right of 6th. We were all saying just hack it out. Ken stood over it for ages (as he often did 🥴), then played an incredible slice out over the lake left side of fairway onto the green! 👏 In '89 European cap' Tony Jacklin spoke to my mate Rich - "would you mind moving out of the way please". In '02, with all the armed airport style security on (post 911) Phil put all his 'metals' in the tray, picked it up and walked through the detector! Caused quite a reaction - we roared ... armed officers didn't. Loads of beer, banter and we even saw some ⛳️

[@davedevine8695]

Great show guys!

[@colinbrimicombe]

Drove past twice this week guys wishing I could go in and have a look round, but you've forfilled my interest, loved the behind the scenes Sunday show and can't wait for this week's vlog hope Lester's gets over his injury quickly.

[@robinc3307]

Played round there in 2001 while they were putting up the grandstands for the Ryder cup that was to be cancelled because of 9/11 Best memories were being abused by the builders when we dunched balls into the water and clapped if we hit the green... Eating far too much great food and staying in the Bel air far to long....what a great long weekend

[@kevmoore2148]

Morning everybody

[@calleiza12]

What is it about you guys? You keep knocking those wannabe channels right out of the park by sharing with us your enthusiasm, knowledge, sportsmanship and GREAT content! Also having golfing buddies willing to share their love and memories for a great sport!! Thank You! Also Lesterberniebarnes’s quips are a delight to the ear!!

[@andyf-d4222]

I remember vividly Sir Nick's HiO in '93 and the biggest smile from Fanny Sunesson, brings a tear to the eye. You guys really have a knack of conveying the atmosphere of these places with your excitement and passion for the game. Lovely ❤️

[@barryemery16]

Another great SMS guys. Good to see “Joe the Pro” back on the channel, looking forward to the vlog (everyone’s blogging up there, wonder why?😅). Many years ago, I had my first trip to the Belfry, at the 10th, I went for it, pulled it left but missed the water, chipped over, sank the putt for birdie, easy hole😂. (A lot of luck was involved). Par on 18th after bouncing the ball onto the green off the frozen lake, also, think it was the 7th, ball bounced out of frozen bunker onto green! It can be fun playing the Belfry in the winter😂. Not only did Joe bring down a branch, looks like he worried a grey squirrel as well🤣

[@andrewprice4565]

Excellent insight into the Belfry set up. I had the dubious pleasure of going on a work related course there several years ago! All about trusts and wills. I learnt nothing as I spent all day looking out at the 10th tee, watching golfers taking on “the challenge “. Quality as usual

[@Jimmy-2-Times]

Stunning facilities.. Tell Joe the pro to invest in some wd40 for that chair 😂 good for the aul creeking bones too 😂

[@nigelcawdron5680]

Great show. Looking forward to the course Vlog. Bernies Rocky impression coming through the tenth tee curtains ! 🤣🤣🤣

[@nickmarr1]

Excellent Sunday Morning Show, gentlemen. Played at The Belfry around 5 years ago. Didn’t play the Brabazon, unfortunately, though. My abiding memory of the Bel Air nightclub is of lots of leathered, grey/balding men in brightly coloured starched golf attire trying to impress the three ladies present with their dad dancing. Needless to say, I was amongst that group myself…

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

😂

[@stuartbain3353]

My local range. It’s a great facility.

[@stevebrown5430]

What a great SMS. The behind the scenes filming was amazing. Great to see Joe the Pro back on the show. Looking forward to this vlog when it comes out.

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Enjoyed this vlog. The Belfry is an iconic golf course. The academy looks amazing, wish other courses would do the same to encourage more interest in the game. Speedy recover Bernie.

[@stevejohnson5014]

Ten years ago played the 10th from the same Sève tee Took driver , saw the shot, behind a lefty , draw it in with a high ball flight. Concentrate , block everything out……. Got absolutely nowhere near the green 😀

[@georgesouthern4994]

I love the behind the scenes vlogs, find them really interesting. Thanks guys.

[@tonytomlin6089]

Great show as usual Dan, looking forward to your vlog from The Belfry. Glad to see that Bernies injury is not affecting his dancing.

[@rongriffin9771]

Great video.

[@seamusc1]

Loved that. Great to see behind the scenes. Fantastic facility

[@andyevans8513]

Loved this weeks SMS. Great insight into how they set up courses for the pro's and the sheer amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. Looking forward to this week vlog.

[@gazr99]

Have been to the Belfry Academy several times and it's incredible. The short game area and putting greens are better than my courses's normal greens!

[@DanHendriksenGolf]

I wish I lived closer to the facility!

[@andrewnatt1448]

Great vid, thanks

[@johnsadler6441]

Best Sunday show to date. Well done team

[@docsbmw525i]

Excellent Sunday morning show Dan 👍👍👍
