What 12.3 Handicap Golf Looks Like at a Ryder Cup Course... [Every Shot]

[@robsmith6087]

14:35 . . . . "I've drawn it too much" . . . .no you "hooked it too much" my friend ! LOVE your channel mate. The difference between all the different golf channels is personality, you have a good'n !

Love your clean, succinct course vlogs Luke!

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks John! Appreciate that

[@ShaanTahirGolf]

I really like the graphic of the hole and every shot you hit on the right of the screen. It must take so much time to edit. I really enjoy your videos.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Shaan! It does take me 3-5 days to edit them usually. Hope the channel is going well!

[@ShaanTahirGolf]

@@UpDownGolf The channel saw a peak with that one video and now its really slowed down again. Its a difficult long process. Lets hope it picks up. Thank you so much for remembering and asking.

[@UpDownGolf]

@@ShaanTahirGolf Don't worry too much, it happens a lot. I've had the same thing on my channel a few times. If you look at YT golf as a whole, I think views have dropped off a bit at the moment

[@ShaanTahirGolf]

@@UpDownGolf it's strange having one video cross 250k and the others struggling badly. Anyway, I'm hopeful. The idea is to keep at it I think. Let's see where the channel is in 6 months or a year. Hoping to see more videos coming from your end. =).

[@MichaelBlanksonGolf]

From where you were when I first started watching your vlogs till now, you've made a massive improvement both in your ability to play and your infant/behind camera skills. Ive got my own channel. If you ever wanted to have a 1 v 1 in Germany let me know. I play off 14 so I'll have to get you on a bad day.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Michael, that's kind of you to say 👍 I've never been to Germany but I'd love to go. Whereabouts are you?

[@MichaelBlanksonGolf]

@@UpDownGolf Deserved. I live in Cologne, Germany. This place is riddled with golf courses. If you ever want to get a round in, let me know. 👊🏾

Good round on a tough course Luke. Thumbs up for Woody's camera work!

Thanks Jack! He did alright didn't he 👍

Hi Luke, I'm writing to you from Donegl Ireland, we are enjoying the country and the people we've met. Driving however is scary as HELL!! Great round and entertaining as usual. I've been wairing for your video. Looks like a good test for your golf game. Looking forward to the next episode. Take care and say hi to your mates for me. Time to go have more Irish whiskey🎉!

[@UpDownGolf]

Hey Dave, that sounds awesome! Me and my wife to be have been meaning to get over to Ireland for a while so glad to hear you're having a great time 👍 Looking forward to your end of trip review! Thanks as always for watching too 👊

[@iy2486]

High quality vlog...I wish I could record my games like that.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks for watching!

[@yippy8888]

great video as usual. Really enjoy watching your vlogs. gives me hope as a 26 handicapper i genuinely feel like my golf is similar to yours, maybe just a few more duffs with the hybrids and mid irons. I have noticed watching the yardages of your 2 iron they seem to average more like 170. do you find it easier to hit than your 5 iron which should be a similar distance? I've found lots of people preferring driving irons over Drivers or 3 hybrids despite the fact distance gains that could be had over a lesser well hit long iron? not sure about the stats, do you get more strokes gained being 40 yards further down but 20 yards right, vs being fairway 40 yards back?

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Yippy! Hard to say without really crunching the numbers I'd say mate

[@MarkAndrews-dp3ir]

[@henrikfreisler7615]

Hey Luke, what did your golf equipment cost especially your clubs? Im a beginner and dont know how much i should spend on my first golf set

[@UpDownGolf]

My clubs probably cost around £1500-2000 in total. You definitely don't need to spend that much though. I picked up some great old Callaway cavity backs when I started and paid about £150 so would recommend something like that. Facebook Marketplace and eBay great places to look 👍

[@anothergolfchannel]

Lovely stuff boys. Luke do you not have hybrids or woods ?

[@UpDownGolf]

I do but I just haven't got on with them for a while now. Some range time is needed with them I think

[@reecejamesg]

great video! they greens look slower than a week in the jail !!

[@UpDownGolf]

Haha! Thanks Reece 👍

Nice course unlucky there mate

[@itsbinq4967]

As a 12.8 Handicapper, the drives off the first tee box sum it up perfectly. Golf is hard.

[@UpDownGolf]

Just typical isn't it

[@hampuskarrlander7492]

I never pull out the driver on the first tee, I always go with my safe club (7 wood or 7 iron)

[@itsbinq4967]

@@hampuskarrlander7492 I should do that, but the satisfaction of ripping a driver leaves me in trouble quite a lot…

[@hampuskarrlander7492]

@itsbinq4967 Same for me, the driver is a 50/50 club for me. I'm experimenting with some new mechanics that are yielding straighter flights, but lesser distance, so I may be on to something. Until then I will keep honing in on my safer options. But man, the feeling of ripping a driver down the middle is too much satisfaction 😆

On hole 13 if you had used a 3 iron instead of 4,you may have it. Anyway great rpund and well played

Just needed a little more didn't it. Thanks!

[@canuck_gamer3359]

You drive the ball between 205 and 250??? And then you drive one 222 and are left with 247 to the pin and you're talking as though you can get there with a 2 iron lol. Hells bells I wish I had that kind of confidence!!!

[@MarkDavenport-e6q]

Hello An old addage is, why do people do the sme thing and expext different results! If you are "consistantly" hitting your drives to the right as in this video, Why don't you turn your boddy an inch or so to the left on set up to compensate for the slice, you would do the same if the wind was comingfrom L to R.

[@paghal11]

Because he normally has a draw / pull / hook. The right sided shots were a compensation for what he normally does.

[@UpDownGolf]

Paghal has nailed it ☝️

[@richardw64]

A very interesting course. I wouldn't feel worthy if I didn't score 100 there.

@@UpDownGolf when you have a putt for birdie and end up 3 putting for Bogey we in the USA call that “from Bird to Bog” meaning you went from a possible birdie to getting a bogey 😂

A touch more luck with your lag putting on those green speeds and you’d shot 3 - 5 strokes better perhaps. Great game tho.

[@UpDownGolf]

That's golf isn't it 🤷 Cheers John 👍

[@paulouellette4100]

putting good..the rest below average

[@felipz24]

You hit your irons really well but seem to be struggling with the driver. There’s a pretty easy fix since you have the swing working working with the irons. Don’t want to be “that guy” so sorry if I’m being rude.

[@UpDownGolf]

Driver has it's good and bad days mate 👍

[@michaelblack2334]

12.3 handicap and scoring 89. I must check my handicap as 89 is my average score and my handicap I was told was 18

[@UpDownGolf]

Your handicap is the average of your best 8 rounds of your last 20 Michael 👍

[@briangray00]

Handicaps are your best, not your humdrums Michael. I'm 23 and I'm quite pleased with 95. Are you putting cards in? I suspect if you're averaging 89 you're really a 15 hcap.

[@paghal11]

That's not how handicaps work. 89 is a bad round for this guy.

​@UpDownGolf that's interesting but to fight a hook you aim left... counter intuitive I know but it will force a 'slice' in your brain and straighten you up
