the MOST RELATABLE GOLF video you will see!

[@GolfMates]

Comment below if this happens to you when you have a bad day at golf??

[@robbiesmith17]

Was that not 6 holes 🤔

[@robbiesmith17]

2 bogie start , par , double , par and tripple

[@dollarbillclinton4327]

Don't blame use you cocker,,,,,,😎

[@jimbeaver27]

Play a round with Danny so he can correct you.

[@joemarks3719]

I get accused of not trying......... LOL. Look at the bright side, you didn't hit any houses this time!

[@09Youba]

Liam, even the tour pros have up and down rounds. Check with your instructor but when you take the club to far inside on the backswing you push or slice to the right. You were right on keeping your hands low. A drill I give my students is putt the butt end of the club in the center of the chest and turn to the right knee lower the shaft so it is parallel over your toes. Now extend your arms and right thumb goes to right shoulder. Check with your instructor. Good luck.

[@whenmullet2674]

11:28 "the winds gone that way." ball slices, trees, flag nothing moving, lol.

[@jackroderickson8236]

Liam I feel your pain. I’ve been taking lessons now for five weeks started out great,dropped my handicap down to six. But my last five rounds have been 12 to 18 over par back to my old bad habits. Had a lesson yesterday played an round shot a four over par, happy days life is life. The new polos are absolutely brilliant 👍👍⛳️🏌️🇨🇦

[@davidmccallan5261]

So relatable to most weekend golfers- was laughing out loud at times too- great job Liam

[@philippeseguin8103]

I totally enjoy all the videos but this one; chicken and rice do I ever relate. How many times did I think I finally had my perfect swing and then golf slapped me in the face. Well, a lot.....Love the channel, cheers from Canada.

[@adamrimmington4228]

I find Liam that I can hit 30 great shots and it only takes one bad shot to lose the confidence, confidence is everything in this game. Some days as a 7hcp I can swing so freely and other days I’m frozen over the ball and can hardly take the club back. My favourite saying with my golf swing is Paralysis by Analysis. Cheers mate. Oh and keep up the great work with the channel, loving the longer videos and Joes filming and seeing the boys a lot more on the channel again.

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@chrislewis7]

I've started taking lessons (for the first time in years). After two lessons I was striking the ball so well. I had 4 good rounds in the following week. The last two rounds I've slipped back into something approaching my old swing and played awful. I couldn't fix it whatever I tried. I have another lesson tomorrow. I bet he has it sorted inside 5 minutes.

[@padraicscanlon4104]

I love how Joe stood a bit further back when you were trying to hook it around that' tree on the last 😂

[@matthewwarburton4864]

Joe with one hand on the camera and the other covering his balls!

[@glenjefferies4055]

Liam this video is why you have a big following of golf mates you’re honesty is brilliant. I’m sure all golf mates can relate to this, as you said just when you think you’ve cracked it the game comes back and bites you ☹️ golf has to be one of the most frustrating games on the planet BUT that’s why we all love it 😍

[@GolfMates]

Thank you

[@jbacon1861]

Thanks for posting this, Liam. I'm just in my 3rd year now, and I was buzzing that I hit an 87 in an amateur comp 2 weeks ago. Also hit a -1 on an easy 9 hole course. I thought that it was all finally coming together. Then it just disappeared. All of it. Hit a 108 in a comp on Friday. All I could do was laugh and not be too down about it. Went out and practiced yesterday and things looked a little better. So, this comes at the right time for me. Life is life! Ups and downs are normal, both for new players and top 8 caddies!

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@Keef1664]

Muscle memory!!!!! Very difficult to forget the way things have been learned over a long period. Great for things like riding a bike but not so good in golf!

[@shaunmartin2774]

Very much relatable. Such a frustrating sport but so rewarding when you have a good day

[@SteveSmith-zz4ih]

Your so kind i'm a 26 handicapper and you are making me feel good with your slightly erratic ways. More can wrong with golf than any other game. But i enjoy fresh air and tranquility, the most people we get on our course is probably 5 people a day during the week - except comp days that's about 30. More in summer though.

[@ginge5168]

Your defo over thinking it Liam, ( we all do it) when having a few head wobble moments I think smooth back smooth through and imagine a line going through the ball to target to maintain shot path and just look at back of the ball, and front of ball for woods and driver 👍🏻it really helps me and sorts my head out 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@ginge5168]

One shot at a time too you had not even left the green and you was talking about your drive and then iron shot after it, one thing at a time, my dad bollocked me when I mention my next shot after one I playing, he says your not Tommie Fleetwood do the shot your on then worry about next one, this one might not go where you want it to yet lol 😂 my dad off scratch so must no what he on about

[@Stiglar5360]

Very relatable video Liam, new microphones are great. It does make me laugh when you say “I was being quiet there” I think you are only quiet when breathing in! Not complaining though I do like the commentary

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely

[@chrisfields2569]

Just started lessons again after having a break from golf, getting back in to it and enjoying being out on the course. Keep up the great work enjoying the videos each day

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely

[@rayofhope1114]

Liam - do your flies up !!!

[@GolfMates]

haha sorry!

[@DB-xq3yn]

Ah, just a smart way to keep cool!

[@marcsimmonds5483]

Is that what he means by "free my willy"?

[@themaconeau]

@@marcsimmonds5483 More like flapping in the breeze 😂

[@davepalmerton2429]

Liam, that's completely relatable. I have played 9 holes like a pro and come out and play the back like I've never had a club in my hand before. That's golf. I have had the flip side of that also, playing terrible, and for no reason it all suddenly comes together. Hopefully that will happen for you on your comp. Best of luck.

[@dcheever07]

one of your best videos. Thanks

[@stephenhopkins278]

Liam, watching you, I think you need to club up on almost every shot into the green. 👍

[@stuartholmes6262]

You're not wrong Liam. That was incredibly relateable. I've gone from on top of the world, 3 under handicap, to 17 shots worse overnight.

[@darrenleake3343]

Totally relatable. Never a truer word spoken. Had my best score there at chorlton on the sunday and then 3 days later I was 18 shots worse. I'm the same as you with the confidence and momentum building. If I struggle on the first 3 holes, usually I'm fighting for form the rest, but good 1st 3 holes usually carries me through.

[@bernardj30]

This is my Fav video of all time. I can relate to this in every way.

[@paulgill5245]

Happens to me whenever I think I’ve got it sussed the next game is totally shite,but we’ll carry on regardless because we’re mature men.

[@GolfMates]

haha yes

[@justtowatch111]

I don't know if you intended for that to be funny golfmate but I had a great chuckle!

[@Lightandluck]

Watching your brain short circuit made me smile. We all do it when the wheel falls off so early on. The only pleasure is knowing it's normal! Good sound from your new microphone!

[@fz6rider04]

Oh forgot to add Liam. I use a Garmin G6 handheld GPS for the distances to greens. It gives the distance to the middle of the green from wherever you are on the hole. It has a feature you can push on the little picture of the green and then it gives the front,middle and back distances for approach shots. I love the thing. The newer G8 can also be used as a launch monitor and show swing speed and club face angle and such as well if that interests you. Definitely worth a look if you don't like watches.

[@kieranfleming5092]

This is golf in a nutshell for the amateur. Great short game Liam having lessons myself its tough to make changes and take to course with any confidence and consistency. Golf ⛳ is a game nobody will ever master. Great video Liam

[@duncanwraight]

I feel your pain 😬 I've been changing my swing for a while. Cracked it on Monday after a lesson. Played Monday evening, best I've struck my irons for years; scored well despite multiple 3-putts. Played on Wednesday, lost my swing on the second hole, shanked the lights out of the round (from nowhere) and picked up after 13. I've enforced a break since then because I was bloody furious 😂

[@justtowatch111]

Get back on the horse Duncan, it can't buck you every time so just enjoy the times when it don't!

[@daveythwaites4667]

"Look at these fluffy mics it like Kevin Keegan" lol (they are called dead cats). Great show very entertaining.

[@joetorres4165]

We’ve all had days like this what I take away from it is what did I learn about myself. Did I stay in control, or did I pick the ball up and quit that hole. Stop over thinking pick out one thing to work on and save your round. It’s golf hang in there.

[@chrisfields2569]

Had a few of these lately, back having lessons.

[@darrenflay615]

We all do that.I shot 43 for 9 holes last Sunday.My best score in months.Some of your tips have helped.

[@golfingCitizen]

Hammered your drive on the second hole! 😂 350 yards... 118 left...228 drive... BUSTED!

[@GolfMates]

not sure what you mean pal you saw it land

[@randydudenhoffer9245]

new math?

[@derekhoskins2779]

This is why I have lessons every week as I know full well that if I don't then I slip back into bad swing habits

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@codewizard77]

Haven't laughed so hard in ages. Definitely relatable.

[@johnkitchen4699]

Best tip for mid to high handicappers - take one club more than you think you need. That’s why I can relate - always leave myself short.

[@alanheseltine7959]

I feel your pain mate, this last fortnight I had a shocker of a round where one or two bad shots just continued throughout the round then the next weekend I played really well and thought I had corrected everything until I went out to the range last night and it all came crashing down again, but at least I figured a few things out before I left the range. Cheers for putting this video out there pal it just helps knowing that golf is not always great and that you have to take the bad with the good sometimes.

[@spencewr3]

I was having a great round the other week, one of my best. Was looking at a low 90. Until hole 16. Par 3 on the green for one then 4 putted. Then 17th took me 10 shots!!!

[@MC-nb6jx]

“”I’m gonna be quiet for a minute”” Two seconds later 🤣🤣

[@jdgoettee9472]

Every time. Liam is type-A.

[@johnmeyer7]

Liam, we’ve all been there. A few weeks ago, I shot a PB, then completely lost my swing and confidence. Working on getting it back. Hang in there, good luck in comp.

[@ianredford8894]

I can relate to this!! Going through the same process as yourself.

[@GunRagDave]

Loving the camera work. Much easier to watch, thanks.

[@sware3132]

yes, i can relate. was hitting great and straight week ago. then this past weekend, slice, 4 RIGHT!! too me almost the entire round to settle down and hit a few good shots. if you are not swinging and hitting balls at the range every day for hours and only hit on the weekends, then you loose what you have fixed. keep working at it. as Josh says, Life Is Life. and at least your out having a good time with the mates.

[@hollylucy2]

FFS you have now trumped on the last hole - I am in bits laughing

[@Dirtyfrnk007]

Golfmate.....As much as I enjoyed the video, there was something missing. I wasn't lmao as much, then it hit me. You weren't running back trying to zoom in on the ball.... Omg, thats cracks me up every time...lmao cheers mate

[@neilwilson6169]

Had comp yesterday Liam. 6 3 putts 2 shanks and missed the buffer. Played better in lockdown lol.

[@PURP_PLAYS]

im from Toronto Canada and i dont understand half of the things you say but i absolooootly love your channel !

[@GolfMates]

Thank you so much!!

[@willielarsson9651]

The subtitles are hilarious

[@leed5543]

Awwww I booked the Saturday night stay over for Fraserburgh. Heard the forecast for Sunday in rain.......

[@danielbackus3764]

Liam... Been there, done that! So many times I finish the front nine at 2 or 3 over, only to bogey (or worse) the last nine holes! Oddly enough, I must be a glutton for punishment, because I go right back out the next day and do it all over again! Good luck on your Comp.!

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@ds9056]

Liam, I can really relate to this , the more I think about it the worse I play .If I just relax just stand up to the ball and hit I play far better ,video tips etc get in your head and just mess you up.

[@andrewshepherdson14]

It’s all good Liam! Shot a 54, with a 9 hole men’s club the other day! I’ve broken 80 there a couple times....

[@petersquires4168]

Liam, I have to say this for me is one of your best videos ever. Your comments are so true as golf is all about momentum so if you hit a few good ones early on you tend to mostly play ok. However if you hit some dodgy ones early you seem to be fighting it for the whole round. Great video had me laughing a lot. I am thinking 80 Saturday and 82 Sunday. Hope it goes better than that, good luck. Chicken and rice!

[@georgenicolai455]

Might have had a bit of a rough time of it, but that chip over the bunker for a 6 was extremely impressive... Serious Spanish Hands... well done Liam!

[@MacaulayBurtonBmx]

I have the same problem slipping back into a bad swing, but noticed it was because my hands weren’t high enough in the backswing, your swing looks similar!

[@GolfMates]

hard isnt it

[@lauriestewart741]

Well done for posting this. It would have been easier just to forget this ever happened!

[@TimC887]

Liam, I’m in my 33 season, playing off 6, and this is pretty much how it goes for me too. Recently, I shot even par and followed it up with 78-81 over the next 4 rounds. Where did the even par round swing go? I can’t find it. But that’s how it goes for us. It comes and goes! It was great watching you play while drinking my morning coffee! Cheers!

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@The_Osprey]

Forgot the Orka fitting? Ronseal only goes 200 in your head.

[@GolfMates]

good point

[@manbearpig7359]

"If it's awkward it's working" That's what she said. 😂 I'll see ,myself out shall I

[@jdgoettee9472]

Died laughing when i heard that.😂

[@williamparke8868]

Man this game drives you mad . But as you say nobody’s die . And that’s what a have learned from you my friend.Your here for a good time not along time ❤️❤️❤️👍

[@paulstanando1975]

That is as real as golf gets, I find the more swing thoughts I have the worst I play

[@nicted9308]

I changed my swing a few months ago and can totally relate to what your going through LIam. I'm happy to say its going well at moment so keep going mate you'll get there.

[@GolfMates]

Thanks 👍

[@grahamhartless4317]

Another great video Liam. Try going through your full new routine on every shot.

[@Steven71179]

You had me in stitches at your attempts at saying Fraserburgh 😂😂

[@Indycrr]

I know this feeling well. Played great (for me) last week. Good day on the range. Decent front nine in Saturday comp then triple bogeyed the back nine. It happens.

[@villalads1969]

Everyone has moments like that liam sometime we can overthink our shots but hey were only human on another note just received my black and white polo two word pure class keep up great camera work joe doing good job cheers lads

[@shawnmichajluk2044]

I suggest taking an extra club until you are hitting the ball too far. The approach wedge from 118 yards downwind and an 8-iron from 150 yards were too short. Those will be impressive shots with or without wind. I need to do the same. I'm getting the Shot Scope V3 watch which tracks distances for each club. I don't wear a watch but I am going to try this out to see if I can get better yardages on my clubs.

[@sprtsfanatic1]

Too relatable mate. Spend 3 days on the range, feel confident about my swing, play a local course I’ve played all me life, and nothing is going my way. It’s that feeling when you walk up to the ball with no confidence and have no clue what’s going to happen. Worst feeling ever off of the tee

[@davedavis3873]

Liam ...lock your left elbow...don't let your elbow bend at the end of your swing , that lets your club hand rise , doing the around and over part. Limit your elbow motion and make up for it by swiveling at the waist ...Try it once or twice ...you might like it. Glad to see you are finally getting in a practice swing !! Well done..good 👍 luck on your tourney....!

[@paulbear.]

We've all been there buddy but remember, form comes and goes but class never leaves ya!!!

[@scotthardy2848]

Anyone who has golfed has been there Liam. You could have easily been 1-2 under but your putter let you down a bit. That's what is great about your channel, it's real life. Just pick up your ball and hope to play better the next game

[@louiskirk8583]

I Have a garmin S20, brilliant watch. Tracks clubs and handicap

[@paulmcguire6397]

Certainly can relate to that Liam, played my first 18 medal since lockdown on a nine hole course today playing off 18 ,out in 44 playing well back in 49 playing terrible lol

[@neknosnaws5990]

In the spring of 2019 I had a few lessons from a friend who's a good swinger, and can hit it far, but has a hard time with the putter. He had me hitting the ball fairly well, and I was looking forward to continuing with his assistance during a visit to his area in the fall of 2019 . However, the roads were terrible in the mountains in the early fall, and before I could go after they improved, the pandemic started, and I stayed home instead. By the time the local course was open I had half forgot my old swing, and hadn't used his changes enough to have them muscle-remembered, so this spring was the worst I had played in 25 years. I take my golf (too) seriously, and was quite depressed, to the point of taking some lessons locally, which is slowly helping. However, at the start of this season, the drives went everywhere, the irons were fat and thin, the putter had a mind of it's own, and I, at 70 years, could hardly remember my humongous score that was in the low to high 50's at our 36 stroke 9-hole, a course that I once shot 38 on. Watching your drive go 100 yards right, and the succession of disastrous shots on the last hole was the first time I have been able to laugh about this comedy-of-errors predicament that I found myself in this spring; luckily the ga-em is begrudgingly getting better as I practice my butt off. Thank you so much for cheering me up, and reminding me that golf does this to everyone, even guys like you, who can hit it over 200 yards! Keep up the good work, and I just might start enjoying the game again, like I did in my 30's!

[@ryanduke1706]

I can massively relate tho this, i was shooting high seventies a month ago, then i had a horrific round shot 96 and have struggled to get it back, although most of my bad shots are missing silly little puts or losing a good drive under leaves

[@petergoddard262]

Try breathing exercise before each shot Liam. It worked for me and my golfing partner Mick. We also carried our 14 clubs round.

[@GolfMates]

maybe!

[@samuelwollaston9559]

I could relate actually, however I’m on about when you steal the left over pink tees

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@paulsmith2855]

Hi Liam go for the Vivioactive HR 4 watch, so much easier than a view finder.

[@edwarddunk2731]

Liam, I get so much inspiration from you. Easy swing every time and good rotation. 👍🏌️‍♂️

[@murraycallan6541]

Thats a good round for me, didn't fat any and you never lost a ball. Positive thoughts and all tht jazz. All it takes is one good shot to keep me interested and you should be the same, we aren't machines!

[@GolfMates]

Absolutely true

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

Enjoyed watching , You and I are a lot alike , we both love golf and working on are game , don't worry you'll play better tomorrow . thanks .

[@bogeygolfers9089]

Liam honestly mate you can’t keep feeding your mind negative energy after every shot ... straight after a bad hole refresh start again !

[@robertkellett9871]

More videos like this please·Love the microphone and camera man excellent

[@terrencemalloy2216]

Good teaching video Liam

[@jeffbates5401]

Liam happens to me almost all the time. I just got back from a 3 day golfing trip with my best mate. He beat me all 3 rounds. I did make some great shots. But it’s like it only takes one bad shot and you are screwed. Keep swinging my friend.

[@MrRdholmes]

We all do it mate..... so many things going on in your head, beating yourself up when it doesnt do what you want, and then talking yourself into the next bad one. Have one swing thought, "enjoy it".

[@martinschofield9276]

Hi liam Medal round all the time i go chasing shots that are beyond me but after a bad hole you push and push trying to get them lost shots back and always ends up in a worse place but thats ameteuer golf for you . The consistency is the a hardest point you know its there and some days it is and some days are like you have never played before. Keep pushing it will all be worth it mate

[@deltimmins4869]

The mental side of the game cannot be missed. It's not about the round last week or the competition tomorrow. Golf is played in the now.

[@GolfMates]

yes!

[@anthonybasile7636]

Wow, that 4th hole is exactly how I've been playing lately. SOOOOOO FRUSTRATED!!! I'm getting a 10-15 stroke swing from round to round. I've shot 86 this year and a 101. I totally sympathize Liam

[@stevespeake3236]

Hi Liam your playing like the rest of us great one minute then every goes wrong .. but hay thats golf ..like the video's. Keep up the great work and enjoy Scotland. Wish I was joining you

[@johnlawrence7268]

It happens to us all Liam, nobody died. Joe is doing a great job on the camera and editing.

[@tonyblackwood5524]

Totally relate to it mate. Get a good drive away of the first and the hit a couple of good iron shots usually sets the form / not.. You obviously got the bad stuff out of the system as you went on to play well on the Saturday and got cut

[@_.Dave._]

18:30 Those one arm left swings are your problem. You're pulling the club down from the top with a dominate left arm. That causes the over the top slice. If you want in to out draw you need to train a dominate right hand/arm in the downswing.

[@19jaguar90]

The second you think you have it the golf gods slap you back to reality. I know your pain Liam. I take every golf beating as a positive, I always get better when I feel I cant get worse, it forces you to take a hard look at your game and keeps you honest. You'll play great tomorrow!

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@justinsmith2918]

This is sooo relatable, one day I will go out and shoot a +3 gross in 9 holes and the next a +9, I have had some lessons but I have to work on consistency

[@GolfMates]

Thank you!

[@jmtgolf2756]

I've found in my years of teaching that people that aren't really serious about the game, they play it more to just have fun are the ones that can more easily slip back into old habits

[@KevinORourke25]

Here is what I think happens to most of us. You got it going good, whether or not by practice or lessons. Then you try to make the "good" better. You start to hit a couple of bad shots and then you revert to what feels safe. Namely, you old habits. It's an endless process. If you don't enjoy the process you going to have a miserable time of it. I CAN RELATE TO THIS VIDEO! Kevin O'Rourke

[@davidchapman319]

Golf is a great leveller! We can never get ahead of ourselves or we go to shite!
