What 12 Handicap Golf Actually Looks Like... [EVERY SHOT]

[@UpDownGolf]

Suspect counting on the second hole by me! Apologies for that 🙏🙏 Hope you all enjoy the video!

[@raken8447]

Sounds similar to golfing with my friends xD Tee-Shot- Out of bounds Re-Tee Shank Shank Chunk Thin Three putt = "Mark me down for a bogey"🤣

[@Ava481]

First video I’ve seen of yours for a while. 100% improvement off the tee especially with driver which I think is half the battle to lowering scores - distance off the tee keeping it in play - very good. Short game let you down in this round and putting on those greens looked really tough to be fair. Also when you scored that quad, remember it makes all us worse golfers feel much better about ourselves. Keep up the good content! 😀

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Ava, I totally agree. My tee shots just recently have really been putting me in better places to score lower. The short game has disappeared annoyingly but I'll work on that 👍 Aha I'll keep that in mind 😂 Thanks for watching dude!

[@vinrxx]

Refreshing to see some golf during the winter time.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks dude

[@Kedbuka]

Tough round but fun video. Appreciate you documenting your difficult rounds because a lot of vloggers might not. They're the most relatable. I'm sure you'll post a good score soon.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Kedbuka. They're just as fun anyway 👍

[@Phil222G]

Think you need to have a staff meeting with the Camara Lady lol. Looks like you have a new addtion to the Up & Down Golf Crew great attitiude and great vid keep them coming

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers Phil! Have a good festive period mate 👍👍

[@JonnyPlaysGolf]

Loved this, Luke! Some lovely views on these Gran Canaria courses! Swing coming along nicely, just needs a bit more time to bed in maybe?

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers Jonny 👍 yeah I think you could be right. Feels like it's changed a lot recently

[@JonnyPlaysGolf]

Luke really enjoy your videos! Always on the look out for more content from you! Since you started I have watched you, I play to roughly your standard and bizarrely have improved as you have! which is why I love watching your videos as I can relate to them.. I watch a lot of channels g/mates s/shiels and others but I’ve got to say I enjoy yours the most. I’m in Kent, I wished I lived nearer to you would have loved to get a game in with you lol 😜 Great Videos, you do a brilliant job Luke. keep it up mate 👍🏻👍🏻 Matt

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Matt, appreciate your support on the channel mate! 👍 Keep us posted with how you're getting on

[@K33nanJames]

Love the content, Always enjoy watching your videos as it's more relatable golf to us Amateur folk. I'm a member at Calverley golf club, Would love to get you back there in the summer for another round with a member :)

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks man! Haven't played Calverley in a long whole actually

[@K33nanJames]

When the weather is better please feel free to come back on me. Would love to have a game. @@UpDownGolf

[@gillisherve2007]

nice to see you on this golf course ...not so easy to score in view of the rolling greens ... i like you stay calm and keep you humor after every bad shot... best regards and I wish you happy holidays for the end of year...

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks dude! You too 👍

[@mrsweettones7737]

Really appreciate these videos! I have a 31 handicap and started playing this year seriously. Brought it down from (unofficially) hitting 130+ every round. Started tracking them for 4 rounds now. Your videos let me play better knowing I don't need to hit the green every time and making 3 putts are ok. Not being funny, these help a lot in strategizing.

[@UpDownGolf]

That’s awesome man. Glad the videos have helped 👍 as long as you enjoy your golf, that’s all that matters really

[@GolfAddict]

PS Hole 2 was a 7!

[@UpDownGolf]

I've had a stinker there haven't I 😂😂

[@brooky1979]

​@@UpDownGolfYou did indeed, you had two 4th shots lol

[@UpDownGolf]

At least you guys keep me honest 🙏

[@sparkplugsteve402]

The pen in mightier than the sword 😂😂 so they say.

[@davejenkins873]

Looks a great course. Driving and fairway irons look solid to me, and most of us would struggle on greens that quick. Well done to camera lady, already pretty proficient I would say. If camera lady is going to learn to play maybe we could follow her progress and give our encouragement?

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Dave! She is dabbling a little with some encouragement so you never know 👍

[@aba44000]

I just love your videos. You and Rick Shiels are the best KZbinrs 👍

[@UpDownGolf]

🙌 Thanks dude!

[@johnwhitesides4033]

Thanks for the video. Great to see to you out on the course. But….the people need to see Fents and Woody! Been too long.

[@UpDownGolf]

Aha they'll be back John!

[@neilcowen2831]

Defo improved since last time I viewed , you are hitting driver very well but your fearless short game of old let you down a touch / putting at my level too 🥹 I feel ya pain , hope you sank a few after ya round too looked a very nice place 👌⛳️

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Neil 👍 The confidence seems to ebb and flow from driver to short game every 3-6 months. It was quality!

[@saludin0309]

Loved your thin chip on the 11th which rolled back to the hole 🤔

[@UpDownGolf]

Had to be seen to be believed that one didn’t it 😅

[@GreggLove-o8u]

Lovely course. Like my home course in NZ!! If only some of those putts rolled in...

[@UpDownGolf]

Another day!

[@Jordan-rs8yi]

Playing of 12 myself atm, it's either this or playing well it's very strange

[@mattcaplis3045]

First video I've seen of yours. I enjoyed it and subscribed to your channel. Your short game cost you this round. It was funny seeing the camera lady trying to putt....not so easy is it?! lol

[@UpDownGolf]

Haha it's not as she found out! 😂 Thanks Matt!

[@ROUGHGOLF]

What a beautiful course!

[@UpDownGolf]

Ah man, it’s awesome

I think 17 was a 9 also . Good show mate , 22 over 👍 Thats my kinda 12 hcp golf 😎

[@billbyrnes9505]

If you haven't already, listen to Golfsidekick. A very talented man. Love the Golfmates, don't know why I have never seen your videos? Great video, love the course and scenery. Remember, unless your on tour, and making the big money, that means your not good enough to get mad at the game. Atitude, the game is meant to have fun. Enjoy it.

[@UpDownGolf]

Very true Bill!

[@richardw64]

Some quite narrow fairways which you dealt with quite well, Luke. I was wondering if maybe you should invest in a 60 deg. Lob Wedge as you were quite close on the edges of greens in the first set of 9 and the pitching wedge was making them run a fair bit. Just a thought.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Richard. I do have a 60 wedge but I tend not to chip too well with it

[@ShaanTahirGolf]

What a beautiful course. Those double bogeys and the young par are the real culprits. Some absolutely amazing shots in that round like the bunker shot on the third hole. I wouldn't even be able to hit it once. Hahah.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Shaan! Can’t take much credit for the bunker shot though, total fluke! 🙈😂

[@folkrav]

Those greens looked _fast_, jeez. Insane views!

[@UpDownGolf]

Killed me! Haha

[@scottmoree4796]

My game used to look like that. Hang in there it will improve mate.

[@UpDownGolf]

👍

[@shortstoriesbybradcenter7401]

Definitely improvement. You hit the drives straighter and longer.

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks Brad. It feels like 1 step forwards in some areas whilst taking 1 step backwards in others. All part of the fun though 👍

[@cobweb1989]

Looks like some amazing views. Did you book through an agent?

[@UpDownGolf]

No direct with the course

[@AndyAsh-fw6bs]

Tough course mate let your lady have the clubs you try the camera. 👍👍👍👍

Haha we'd have been there a while Andy 😂

[@George-eo1pb]

Those thinned shots weighed on you, Luke. Need to forget them faster. Hope you were joking, saying she won't be coming anymore to video for you. She adds a spot of fun and mischief.

[@UpDownGolf]

Cheers George, good advice! Yeah I was joking, it was nice to have her with me 👍

[@AustraliaUnmasked1984]

You're strike a 3 wood exactly like me! Its good to know I'm not alone. Lol

[@UpDownGolf]

Aha it's my nemesis!

[@paulthomson2288]

I think 20 plus is probably reasonable on such a difficult course if you can't read the greens. The blow up at 17th was avoidable.

[@UpDownGolf]

Yeah agreed Paul. The 17th just got out of hand 😅

[@WildNorthAdventures01]

You should check out what a 27 handicap looks like haha Im new to KZbin and just posted my 2nd video was a little scared but the Golf tube is pretty good community. Thanks mate love the videos keep them coming..

[@dominickfiorello3603]

How come I play similarly to you but I’m a 22 handicap?😊

Total meltdown Stuart 🤦

[@billbyrnes9505]

Set the hook, and reel her in. Let her hit some shots on the green, before you know it, she will be picking out some clubs. Punch out shots, my secret is to use a stiff, firm putting stroke with my driver. Don't knock it till you try it. Great shot if you need to keep it low, and/or no backswing. Practise, practise, practise.

[@UpDownGolf]

Haha she's already there 👍

[@prebengjestang4636]

Nice video, but a Triple bogey on nr. 2 there. Not a double :)

Yeah my mistake!

[@ShadeReckless]

The shot shaping doesn't seem to be doing you any favours, dial it back a bit / got for simpler shots and I bet better scores will follow

[@courtneyrager2166]

Great video, loved being able to watch a fellow mid-handicapper playing some real golf - warts and all! Only just started watching your content, so can’t comment from an improvement perspective - but got to say you hit your driver and irons very well 💪🏼 Hopefully this doesn’t offend, but there’s room for improvement in your short game - which with a bit of work would see you off single figures. If you ever go down the coaching route, would recommend Dan Grieve @ Woburn. Best short game specialist around. I read his book, and then went to his short game school - it knocked around 3-4 shots off my round! Hope you continue to produce great content 👍🏼

[@UpDownGolf]

Thanks for the advice Courtney, I've followed Dan's social media for a while and thought about getting his book. I've also seen he does the schools, good to know they are worth it 👍

[@courtneyrager2166]

@@UpDownGolf thanks for not taking offence :). I just know how much Dan’s helped me with my short game, and wanted to share. I noticed you mentioned you’ve been for a lesson at Zen Golf, and I do watch some of their content - and unlike you I do sometimes struggle on the striking of my irons / driver. Did you notice a big improvement after your visit there? Did you or they publish the video lesson?

[@UpDownGolf]

Yeah I made a video on the channel. It's one of the more recent ones if you want to check it out 👍 But it opened my eyes to quite a few things in relation to the golf swing. My biggest takeaway was how under utilised my right side was. Like anything in golf, it's not an instant fix but I definitely think it's helped me improve

[@courtneyrager2166]

@@UpDownGolf great stuff, I’ll give that a watch - thanks 👍🏼 Sounds like it was well worth it then! Admittedly I’ve a lot to learn on the mechanics of the golf swing - so he sounds like a man that can help me! 🤞🏼
