What Can A +2 Handicap Shoot On The Old Course At St Andrews?

What can I shoot playing The Old Course At St Andrews?
Ahead of the AIG Women's Open I headed up to St Andrews to take on the Old Course. So what can a +2 handicap shoot around one of the most iconic golf courses in the world?

Hi, I'm Hannah Holden; welcome to my channel!
I am a +2 golfer from Leeds, England.
This KZbin channel aims to help you improve your golf by offering up-to-date reviews on the latest golf equipment, stats on how scratch golfers shoot low scores, and course vlogs to help improve your course management.
I also partner with PGA Golf Professionals such as @jrbackhousegolf to bring you tips to improve your golf game.
If that wasn't enough I'll make sure you're on top of the latest rules of golf!

What a great channel. Finally somebody who is nice and decent and talks about her experience on the court in a normal way. Fantastic golfer by the way; impressive technique. I learn a lot

[@nationalclubgolfer]

@@IvervandeZand thank you so much!!

[@lohsun2006]

I just binge watched 10 of your videos. Your content is really enjoyable for me as your passion for golf really shines. Thanks again Hannah

[@jamesfrancis7284]

Love your content and wonderful attitude...it's not about getting knocked down, it's about how many times you get knocked down and get back up❤

[@dancarey9495]

Great video! Love your happy attitude

[@tjvbham5831]

I've been to St. Andrews to play golf twice and I am looking forward to watching the ladies play there this week. Great video, Hannah.

[@tinkerbell9785]

I wish that one day I’ll be as good as you. I’m complete beginner only 8 weeks in now. Love watching your videos xx

[@russpugh9570]

You're so right Hannah, sometimes it's best to just relax, enjoy the round and not worry overly about your score. Beautifully constructed round, well played. ⛳

[@riprock31]

That was fun to watch! New sub and I enjoy your videos. This is the first playing vlog I've watched you play and I think you played quite well.

[@tonyellis8761]

great round of golf Hannah and unless you have seen the course close up, you are spot on about the undulations on the course and the greens. The ladies open was fantastic to watch and some great golf played in horrible conditions. Lydia Ko was a very worthy winner.

[@nationalclubgolfer]

Absolutely!! it was an amazing week

[@Adrian-yv8sy]

I did a wedge grid this year and probably the best thing I've done and anyone can do for their game - well played

[@richardllewellyn2633]

Fabulous watch Hannah. You played some lovely golf out there. On another day a couple of those putts drop comfortably under par. Just a couple of iffy chip and pitch shots nothing too bad. Keep smiling.

[@vinceschiavo5385]

Loved the sound of the second shot on 14!

You are so cool, calm, and collected. Those 1" leaves would have been the death of most mere mortals. Also, who in their right mind is crazy enough to park their car on the right edge of hole 18 fairway with no net there????

[@nationalclubgolfer]

I have no idea who parks their cars there!!

[@DFM-oq7op]

I think you did an amazing job. It’s such a punishing course if you haven’t played it before.

[@simonwilson4240]

Would love to have your chilled out attitude when you have a bad shot or hole I'm so the other way would love to see video on that

[@tehhud5]

Why you didn’t play forward for your 3rd at the 2nd I’ll never know. Ball would have easily come out. 7 shots on a 368 yard hole in easy conditions is very much an unforced error.

[@nationalclubgolfer]

@@tehhud5 because the bunker was as tall as me and straight vertical ball wouldn’t have come out. You’re welcome to go down and try it

@@kenphillips7594 you don't have to have a caddie its optional

[@Golfing-AddiCt]

I can't believe you bottled the road hole tee shot 🙄

[@robertcourt8593]

I'm guessing it was a corporate event or pro am? Were you playing the green tees because you're a female or did everyone play those tees? It irks me that as a plus 2 female that hits it further than most average mid handicap men and certainly hits it better than a mid handicap male that she's playing holes from so much closer than a mid handicap man would. Not a criticism of Hannah or the video at all, more a moan about golf in general.

[@nationalclubgolfer]

It was a R&A event for the women’s open she I could play any tees I wanted 😊 greens are a good length for it to be enjoyable!!

[@dazzler5934]

Sounds terrible

[@nationalclubgolfer]

@@dazzler5934 🤔

[@icarus877]

How could you possibly have 90 yards left into the green on the first after having hit a driver off the tee. Did you really only hit the drive 230 yards??? I know many 80 year old men who hit it further than that and you are off +2. That is enough for me - if your handicap was 16 or so I could possibly understand it. All the best but this is not for me.

[@nationalclubgolfer]

@@icarus877 346 hole length minus 90 is 256 yards 👍🏼

[@giomusah2155]

Honestly that's an unimpressive course, looks like a poor mans putt putt course in Michigan. Take out the name it's a 19pound Muni course.

[@keithtracy3316]

As someone who has walked it: you're so wrong

Ask Tiger what he thinks? Played it and 5 of the other courses in St Andrews amazing experience. You should make the trip over.

[@dougie6897]

It’s completely natural sea side golf…. Nothing is manicured nothing is artificial….true golf as it was invented

[@danielh4032]

I thought as much until seeing it; true it is short, but the narrowness, undulations and the wind make it challenging.
