What an honest match actually looks like - 12 Handicaps

Two mid handicappers (Luke & Fents) battle it out over 9 holes at Wike Ridge Golf Club (Leeds Golf Centre). Both golfers are 12 handicappers so no need for any handicap adjustments. It's just a straight scratch match-play event!

Great win, Fents! Luke had a rough day, but made it competitive. Fents doing some shots that most of us can relate to. Thank you, Fents, for providing us with good content and throwing a plug for your merchandise. I really recommend the golf hat in Red😊. That was for Luke😅

Haha! Yours is one of a kind I think Dave 😉 Thanks as always!

[@robster230]

Luke your game is so improved after your holiday abroad... did you change anything specific or have a lesson that clicked or have the golf gods just decided this is your moment :D either way ride that wave

[@UpDownGolf]

Aha thanks Rob. I have had a couple of lessons this year but I think the main difference for me has been losing some of the tension in my swing. It's added some distance and improved my consistency somewhat. That's what I'm putting it down to anyway. Maybe it is just divine intervention 😂

[@goncalotfcorreia]

Love the channel! If you ever come play in Portugal give me a heads up and I'll give some recomendations!

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks man! Will do 👍

[@handeyecoordinationskills]

Great viewing again , fens zoomed putts which I do regularly made me feel a whole lot better , I mean in the nicest way of course , don't have yere chipping skills around green , very impressed with those shots you guys play , I feel like a bird trying to fly with 1 wing when I line up a PW shot off the green so I've just abandoned it and push my 7 iron for a roller , cheers lads love the vids 👍

[@UpDownGolf]

Aha well you've just to play the shots that get you round the best haven't you 👍 Appreciate you watching!

[@handeyecoordinationskills]

@@UpDownGolf absolutely, I never had that skill to use those wedges or 56 or 60° off the green , obviously if I'm behind a bunker I will have to use one then of course 🤪😂

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Fents going to have to give you strokes at this point 😂 he’s seems to have your number in match play. Getting used to the new camera though. Great vid as always 👍

[@UpDownGolf]

It's sad but true Jack haha. Cheers mate!

[@AuPairChina]

Really enjoying this channel. Hope you can earn some decent money from it! Much better than the “pro” guys who only upload their best shots. Cheers

[@user-mi3xx2md8s]

Complete agree as I’m 24 handicap and can relate more to this than anything

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks both! Glad you enjoy the videos 👍

[@paulovenstone8973]

I did laugh over the last week at a 'pro' golfer travelling UK North to South and playing with locals along the way. All of a sudden when crowds and normal Joe's are there to call out any fakery the standard of golf comes distinctly average and these balls that go deep in the rough, that are miraculously found in nice lies, are actually being realistically lost.

[@golfmatt1112]

Well played guys

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Matt! Appreciate you watching 👍

[@golfmatt1112]

@UpDownGolf still waiting for my invitation to play golf with you guys lol

[@kennethcolbert2921]

It's nice to see a good game of golf. I would like to know where are you playing this game at. I'm in the USA.

We're in Yorkshire in the UK Ken 👍

[@sassyfassy8594]

You guys need to come to North Carolina. We have some amazing courses in the Southern Pines area outside of Pinehurst Resort, which, of course, is the gold standard.

[@UpDownGolf]

Sounds awesome!

[@nicoyap14]

Hole 13's green shape is spot on.

[@UpDownGolf]

[@leedemetriou4648]

good knock

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Lee 👍

[@GolfAddict]

Another great video lads, just one question has woody been sacked? 🤣🤣

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks! Haha no I promise. He's due to make an appearance soon actually

[@ddogg14]

Hole 5 is a brutal length! Why isn't it a Par 5, especially given there's only one other par 5 on the 9?

[@UpDownGolf]

I'm not sure tbh, it's probably a little too short to be a par 5. It is a par 5 if you play from the white tees however

[@Michael_Ashford]

Because it's down hill the hole way so plays shorter and it's also stroke index one.

[@OnTheTeeWithLee]

Yo Luke, I saw you and Woody at wentworth today! I was about to come and say hello but then you walked off 😂

[@UpDownGolf]

Ahhh no way! Apologies 😂

[@chrisreid1136]

Just one observation when you take a drop from hazard or the water you can't drop it closer to the hole you need to take it back and drop on a line where you think it entered the hazard.😂

[@UpDownGolf]

Ha yeah it was a dodgy drop wasn't it! Lesson learned 👍

[@leebooth2052]

Brilliant video as always,me and me mate will play you 20 handicappers and I’m cackhanded,sheffield based if you for a subscriber challenge,can we play woody though as he’s similar to us 🤣🤣🤣⛳️⛳️⛳️take care up and down lads

[@UpDownGolf]

Aha thanks Lee! And you 👍

[@Inked_Kev]

Fents really wanted that win, great play to secure the victory, Luke your wedges really left you hanging this time around and having those watermagnets in the balls didn’t help either😂😂 you’ll get em next time.

[@UpDownGolf]

That first one took a straight bounce left for a swim didn't it! Cheers Kevin 👍

[@Hankster07]

You guys need to pull the flag when putting. Losing a lot of strokes during your rounds. I enjoy the video’s from California 😊

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Hank!

[@oliver69cork46]

On hole why like didn't you go 4 iron,you'd have made easy. 181 is long for a 5 iron but that's only my view. Well played ,great video.

[@UpDownGolf]

I thought I had it with the 5 iron. Tbf I was a yard short of a great shot 👍

[@thech33ky13]

Luv the vids have u thought about playing with some of ya viewers like myself I’m same level as yourselves would luv to meet up and have a round with guys I’m in hull.

[@UpDownGolf]

Hah sorry that's me trying to get through some comments. We haven't as it stands mate, we'd obviously let all the channel viewers know if we do at any point 👍

[@jeraldvickery4166]

That is some long par 4's

[@UpDownGolf]

Yeah the 14th is a nightmare!

[@buddywheels]

Really enjoy your videos and don’t want to be “that guy “ but…….you may be missing out on some of the delights of match play. On several occasions I noticed you carried on and putted out. In match play that is “playing out of turn” as order of play is determined by who is furthest from the hole. It’s a good rule because what look like tap ins when you walk onto the green get a lot longer if your opponent sinks their put from further away. Also, on the long par 4 ( where you second went into the water) how come you were able to drop on the green side of the pond?

[@UpDownGolf]

Try abiding by those rules whilst filming and keeping up with pace of play mate! No chance. Because my ball bounced that side

[@Marc.Vanguard]

For a friendly round where your mate has forgot his putter, out of turn is fine, it doesnt ruin some finer points of matchplay. The drop still should have been on the otherside of ghe water though. You can drop in line with the point of entry and the flag but no nearer the hole. understood though that you must use quite a bit of time filming and need to make those smart decisions to keep yourself ahead.

[@hamsterlicker]

Because the ball landed across the hazard and rolled back into the red penalty area, Luke had the option of taking lateral relief, allowing for a drop within an area of two-club lengths from the point at which the ball crossed the red line excluding the areas which are closer to the hole. (Back-on-the-line and stroke-and-distance relief are also options here, but obviously poor options, in this scenario.) It's true that Luke dropped in an area closer to the hole. In match play, as this was, it results in a forfeit of the hole, which he lost anyway. In stroke play it results in a two stroke penalty, in addition to the one stroke drop penalty. But it's not like every other 10+ handicapper in the world doesn't do the same thing. I'm here for the Fents memes, not to discourage the Fents memes.

[@strongestnattyever-videos2247]

*Where are the 12 handicap golfers….?*

[@UpDownGolf]

👍

[@trickydicky274]

If these guys are off 12, then they need to have a word with whoever gave them their handicaps. I'd put them at no less than 18 and that's on a good day. They are making that course look like its over 7000 yards!!

[@UpDownGolf]

Sound. I'll have a word with England Golf 👍

[@davidhargreaves9963]

Surely you should have dropped at the otherside of the water? You actually dropped closer the hole.

[@UpDownGolf]

No you're right. We're usually up against it with time when filming so we do make mistakes

You started well Luke then fell off the handicappers cliff, though Fents will claim he pressured you off the edge. Regardless, you two boys are far too sensible as golfers to be mid-handicap hackers. Can we get back to some proper bad golf quality content, please.
