So great to see you enjoying yourself at that amazing course. I only shoot under par about a handful of times a year, but I never let a bad round affect my mood. I’ve been playing for 30 years, and I’ve learned to take the good with the bad. Golf is hard. lol Your ball striking is top level, Matt. I think you shoot around par there, on a calm day.

We played somewhere that was the only course open in the area,as it was so (gale force 5 I think)windy every other course was closed as trees were in danger of coming down. Loads of greens had the flag on the green,& we were cursing the possible group somewhere in front of us not putting the flag in. It was only when we got to a par 3 later in the round we saw the the wind was so strong it was throwing the flag out of the hole. Great fun tho & had one of my better rounds 😆

£110 per round you say is reasonable… probably is if you can afford those prices unlike me and my golf mates drawing our pensions and watching the pennies, I’m sure my golf would be better playing on manicured golf courses and not on ones where standards are not kept I.e divots not replaced, pitch marks not repaired and bunkers that have sub-standard sand or what passes off as sand, but on a lighter note I love watching you and other you tube golfers, keep up the good work

Honestly, did you not learn anything playing in East Lothian? 118 yds into a hooley is a three quarter six iron back in the stance, all day every day. Anything over that creates too much spin and loft, and will simply balloon and stall. On a day like that, anything over ten feet in the air is unacceptable and psychotic.😀
