I Entered An Amateur Golf Competition - Can I Qualify? [Part Two]

Day 2 of Springfield Golf's amateur golf competition 'The Road To The Belfry' at Macdonald Portal. Can I qualify?
Competition Rules
===========================================
Stableford competition with handicap adjustments. So if a player has a handicap of 9 for example, they would get an extra shot on the hardest 9 holes (according to the SI rating for the course). Meaning that if they got a bogey on a hole where they have an extra shot, that would score them a net par and 2 points rather than 1 point because of the extra shot allowance.

cannot emphasise how consistently impressed I am by the production of these videos Luke - the best kind of editing is when you don't even notice it, top top stuff as always mate

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Liam, much appreciated mate. I spend a long time editing these so that's good to hear 👍

[@jonathansekhon7700]

I find your videos very relaxing to watch, whether the golf is good or bad. It’s all relatable.

[@UpDownGolf]

Love to hear that Jonathan! Thanks 👍

[@TW11DDY]

Greens didn't do you any favours at all! Solid round, better luck next time!

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks man!

[@Burkwood]

Great playing, pal. Thanks for taking us along. One of my favorite channels on KZbin. Better luck next year, pal! I'll be tuning in.

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers dude! Appreciate it 👍

[@triplenickelpickletickle3796]

You'll get em next time Luke, great production as always. I really can't explain how much I love this channel. I've played my whole life and grew up watching pro golf on TV every week. I really only tune in for the big tournaments now, but I never miss UNDG!

[@UpDownGolf]

🙌 Thanks Pickle, I genuinely really appreciate that 👍

[@humblequest7905]

Great video Luke. Tough conditions, especially on those bobbly greens. Roll on the better weather 🙏

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Humble 👍 We're very close now!

[@steffenl.2905]

Luke, very unlucky at these terrible greens. Your play is even better within good conditions. Thank you for taking me with you. Greetings from Berlin. Steffen

[@UpDownGolf]

Appreciate you following along Steffen! 👊

[@kevingarrison84]

Love your videos mate, way to battle the conditions. If you are ever in Massachusetts would love to play a round with you!

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Kevin! Appreciate it 👍

[@sassyfassy8594]

Bless your heart, Luke. Putting was brutal this round

[@UpDownGolf]

So close to being good wasn't it

[@MichaelBlanksonGolf]

I just feel it’s harsh on your golf to be playing on greens like that. Obviously like you said, everyone else has to play the same in this tournament, but at your level these greens are bringing your ability down. Love how you style positive throughout. And as always loving the videos. Keep it going fella. 🦾👊🏾

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Michael, appreciate it mate 👍

[@jeffboily6899]

great vid as alway`s, tough greens. better chance next time. thank`s Luke

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Jeff, always appreciate you watching mate 👍

[@vongrimm1421]

Unlucky mate! If you go again next year, might be worth waiting till later in the year as the greens really cost you. Great effort!

[@UpDownGolf]

Hopefully the weather won't be as bad as it's been this year but its a good shout dude

[@jambotanky]

Hard luck buddy , those greens would have me crying all the way round 😥 looks like a great weekend tho 👍🏻 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers JT. It was mate! Great fun still

[@LiamS0905]

Great video mate, I really enjoy watching yours. Are you planning on filming at Wakefield Golf Club at any point this year? They just opened all 18 for the first time this weekend, greens are looking great, just a bit soggy on some fairways, I joined there this year following your recommendation on instagram. Its a great community

[@UpDownGolf]

Hey Liam, I'm honestly not sure where we'll be filming over the next few months. We're not that forward thinking when it comes to planning haha. Glad you're enjoying it there though! I do really like the course 👍

[@mrkipling3841]

Great effort!

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Mr K!

[@MarkAndrews-dp3ir]

Great vlog - Nearly 63 and learning new words. Looked tough but enjoyable for us viewers as always.

[@UpDownGolf]

Appreciate you watching Mark!

[@Kedbuka]

Thanks for sharing your tournament experience. Your score didn't reflect how well you struck the ball. Plus you rolled it decently but no luck on the greens. Very good effort.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Kebuka! I was pretty happy with how I played 👍

[@Michael_Ashford]

You continue to be the BEST mid handicap KZbinr on the platform. The dedication you put into your production and edits is admirable. If I can give one critique I would love.to hear you talk more casually during your narration, currently it's a little.like you're reading a book/commentating at the same time. I would love to hear your emotions/thoughts commentary on how your player partners were doing during the round etc. V small points.keep up the great work

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Michael

[@KentnDebi]

Unlucky there Luke...man that course was a bog though. Congratulations to everybody that took part, unlucky for Ollie too. It's been so wet for the last six months the poor Greenkeepers are struggling to get on the courses to maintain them...the result, bobbling putts, fairways that resemble quagmires, just difficult 😔 Do you plan on playing in Event Six Luke? Hopefully better conditions then as we (hopefully) have Summer to recover 🤞🤞🤞

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Kent, appreciate that. Possibly, we'll see what we've got on later in the year

[@Robster6480]

That was a tough watch but probably not as tough as playing in those conditions. I’ve played that course and it is decent when the conditions allow.

[@UpDownGolf]

Yeah I definitely didn't see it at it's best Rob

[@EhtizanEditor2]

Hey Up Down Golf, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks

[@lordlucan1657]

@UpDownGolf these greens are hilarious! Just wanted to ask. You spoke about a range finder on one of your vids but I can’t fine it. Just wanted to ask what brand it was. Keep up the great content mate.

[@UpDownGolf]

It was Red Tiger dude.

[@lordlucan1657]

@@UpDownGolf thanks buddy.

[@Gav671]

Seems the greens could do with a closer mow. Great show as always.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Gav!

[@markchinery387]

Brutal again out there - impossible to putt on. You could see the wear around some of the holes where they hadn’t been moved. No chance, pitting was down to a lot of luck out there

[@UpDownGolf]

Agreed Mark. A few of them probably drop on another day

[@JC-be9dq]

You played well m8, enjoyed watching. sometimes it doesn't go your way but that's golf unfortunately 👍

[@UpDownGolf]

It is JC, thanks for watching! 👍

[@BogeyGolfUK]

Those conditions would have defeated me by the turn 😂 top effort Luke

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks mate. Looking forward to teaming up to take the SG boys down 👊

[@JackPlaysGolf]

Greens were criminal 😂 guess everyone had same conditions but still haha. Always next time Luke

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Jack! Just needed a bit more luck I think

[@chrissmall1246]

Shaggy greens dude. No roll,call bounce. Tough.

[@UpDownGolf]

Aye very tough Chris

[@jonathanparry9505]

A bit more fortune with the potty, Luke and you might have made it through. Thanks for sharing. Did Fents not enter ?

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers Jonathan, I agree. Nah he didn't play this time

[@gillisherve2007]

hello Luke ...the greens did not favor you they seemed irregular which does not favor your putting for the rest you had very good rescue shots nice to see you always positive minded...love your comments...best regards..Hervé

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Hervé! Appreciate it 👊

[@SortaLikeGolf]

Okay that putt on 10 hurt my soul. I left one on the LAST BLADE of grass on the cup edge last week. It's THE WORST.

[@UpDownGolf]

Haha you and me both dude. It really is!

[@brosgolf]

For that terrible greens, i think you’re putting very well mate.

[@UpDownGolf]

Yeah I can't be too mad with the putts at all 👍 Appreciate it

[@C0W0B0Y]

Those greens were rough, man!

[@UpDownGolf]

Big time dude

[@patji123]

Good going. You really limited your play to bogie (few doubles or triples) which is the sign of a solid player.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Pat!

[@kenirving5240]

Those greens were shocking.

[@UpDownGolf]

They were tough Ken

[@jodygardner7563]

Luke. I really enjoy your content. However, I miss seeing Woody on your channel. Any plans in the future to include him in some of your content?

[@UpDownGolf]

I'm hoping so Jody! 👍

[@SimRacerSteve82]

Rough greens. Wish we had some competitions like this around me.

[@UpDownGolf]

They do try to cover as much ground as they can with their qualifiers 👍

[@SimRacerSteve82]

@@UpDownGolf well they aren't coming across the pond!🤣

[@nsbc6775]

From Canada here, never played in England but are the greens actually as furry as they appear on KZbin? Some that I see look softer than my carpet at home lol. Anyways, keep up the great work!

[@UpDownGolf]

Haha they are much slower here than when I play anywhere abroad. Thanks dude!

[@tracknews]

Unlucky mate,those putts just wouldn't drop 😮

[@UpDownGolf]

Ahh they really wouldn't!

[@jamiewatkins5870]

Next time 👍

[@UpDownGolf]

👊

[@richard63]

No Luke, those greens aren't peculiar, they're f@#$&* terrible. My personal award goes to you for having to put up with that mess.

[@UpDownGolf]

😂 Cheers Richard

[@Inked_Kev]

Solid golf Luke, your golf wasn’t reflected by the score, these greens looked absolutely dreadful. Wish you better luck on the next one mate

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Kev, I did feel like I'd played well too

[@Inked_Kev]

@@UpDownGolf You definitely did play good Luke, the greens where just in no condition to score well. It was probably a lot of luck based putting for everyone with those green conditions.

[@bronsonmateo4848]

Not trying to sound demeaning, but do they roll the greens at that course? It looks like you were putting over broccoli.

[@UpDownGolf]

Haha the weather has just been very bad over here this year. They could have probably closed the course

[@Acemeistre]

Wanted to enter this, but they moved away from Wyboston where I could have played 😢

[@UpDownGolf]

Ahh it's good fun, worth the trip

[@bilal137]

Unlucky Luke. Those greens obviously didn’t like you at all. Great content regardless.

[@UpDownGolf]

Aha they weren't doing me any favours Bilal. Thanks!

[@paulgreen758]

Luke where is the one in Scotland being played

[@UpDownGolf]

Sorry not sure Paul, all details should be on the Springfield Golf website though 👍

[@paulgreen758]

@@UpDownGolf thanks ill check it out

[@TWTexasA1]

Although definitely not your best playing ..at all. Those greens were a joke more like putting on the fairway. You still may need to adjust that handicap bit I’m pretty sure..👍🏼👍🏼

[@UpDownGolf]

Agreed T, greens were very tough

[@jacktipping2997]

How come the greens were like that is that not abit odd for a championship course ??

[@UpDownGolf]

It was just due to the poor weather we've had Jack

[@BPJohns30]

Those greens look like a shitty fairway…brutal. I would be a triple or more on all holes.

[@UpDownGolf]

They were challenging BP!

[@GavinBull1]

41 and 38 back to back on course that condition, stinks

[@UpDownGolf]

👀

[@michaelblack2334]

Your putting is good but the greens are not in good condition

[@UpDownGolf]

Yeah on another day I think a few more might have dropped

[@golfmatt1112]

Unlucky mate just not your day we all have them.

[@UpDownGolf]

Very true Matt 👍

[@golfmatt1112]

@UpDownGolf love when it all work though. How far is Beardsall priory from you?

[@Leighp456]

That course shouldn't have been used it look awful.

[@UpDownGolf]

They made the best of a tough situation tbh
