I found that to be a very enjoyable nine holes to watch. I thought your game was looking pretty tidy, especially around the greens. The weakest point was approaches to the green, but if your chipping game remains as good as it was here it will take the pressure off approaches a bit as you know you can get up and down if necessary. I liked the positive attitude, too. It will help you handle the tension of the actual competition. Good luck.

FIR is largely a pointless stat. GIRO (green in regulation opportunities) v actual GIR is more improtant at our level. So you were bang on, your driving was good, your reading of lie and course conditions would have been highlighted in stats if GIRO was used.

@@sandersson2813 If you hit a 350 yard drive and roll through the fairway into the first cut, but only have a 60 yard shot to centre of the green it's a fairway missed, but in reality it's a birdie op. If you knowingly sacrifice accuracy for distance (I could take 5 iron hit the fairway but leave a 220 yard second from fairway) then GIRO gives you that info, do the same on Par 5's all of a sudden the stats say your driving is an issue but in reality it's not, in the video he clearly drove well, except one hole, but the stats alone say he didn't.

@@oldred1959 Why would you hit a 350 yard drive? Given that the longest drivers on tour don't do this regularly why would you or him? You only have a GIRO if you have a shot to the green. The vast majority of golfers are absolutely shit and so would be better keeping a ball on the short stuff. On a tight course like this you have rough, heather, trees, thick grass, gorse, broom etc. IF you can find your ball, and it's a big IF, there a high chance you will have no option but to A) take a drop for the cost of a shot or B) chop it out.

Nice video. I think you are right in that you are close. Still missing too many fairways. Missing fairways means missing greens as well. Short game helped you a lot. Not sure what hole it was, 7 or 8 where you said you finally figured out the flag color system. Really? Not sure they use that in qualifying but it is imperative you know the greens and flag positions if you want to score well, open qualifying or not. Good luck on your qualifying.

Good luck at Fulford, not too long on modern standards, so a plotter has a chance. There are plenty of doubters because you are a content creator, but you were a golfer first. Accept the standards have moved to incredible levels at qualifying nowadays, rare that amateurs or club professionals make it to the Open, mores the pity. Your upside is putting, if you are at it on the day, you will putt the courses lights out. So yes, GIR, at least 50% with your putting, punchers chance.

You are a great golfer Matt and love your videos but why do you all insist on playing a shot shape. So many KZfaq golfers who are great standard players stand on the tee and say I’m going to aim here and aim there and fade/draw to the target then miss the fairway. Just aim on your target line and stripe it.

@@wdp5617 I agree but missing 8 out of 9 fairways doesn’t support that point. If it’s natural and you cater for it you don’t miss that many. If you aim straight you will still have potentially 20 yards each way to miss and still hit the fairway. Aim left and then pull it left in the rough.
