Wasn't boring! I'm glad there are ppl like yourself making golf videos. Way better than tv, and any golf video couldn't be boring. Great video!

Not boring at all - good video and commentary. I played in a competitive league for the first time this year, and the best lesson learned was to keep the driver in the bag on any hole that wasn't an obvious "driver hole". Thanks James!

James , this really is one of the best vlogs you’ve ever done 😉🏌️‍♂️⛳️🍻

This was definitely not the most boring video on youtube ! Driver and I are having some couple's issue these days and i was considering skipping the problem by buying a driving iron, but... i guess i just have to work my driving out conscientiously :) THanks for the video James and greetings from the other side of the Channel

I stuck with you - great stuff as always James, thanks!

Stuck with you! I would love to go out and try this for myself, but I need more lessons to get my ball striking more consistent before I put a long iron in the bag. Thanks again, James.

Stayed with you till the end James. I keep both in the bag just for those types of situations

I stuck with you 'til the end, mate. Irons sounding pure!

I stuck with you! Always switching to my driving iron when I’m having a bad day with driver!

I stuck with you 😂. Great video I'm gonna try this on my home course when the weather picks up. Driver vs 5wood maybe. I recently had my 1st lesson changed my takeaway & path gained 20 yards per club straight away. Don't get me wrong I'm practicing like mad get it to feel normal but I'm very excited for the next lesson and the new season. I recommend lessons with a good pro over buying new gear. Great content as always 👍⛳

Stick with you, James! My driver tends to let me down, or maybe I let it down, later in the round when I get tired. Also, my home course is a mountain course with tight fairways so I keep both in the bag for different situations. Great video!

I stayed with you to the end! I struggle with my driver and will often use a four iron off the tee to play it safe. I’ve been looking at getting a driving iron in this video helped me with that decision. Thank you!

I stuck with you Thank you for this one James I found it really interesting and enjoyable

I do have a love-hate relationship with my driver, so I will probably migrate to a driving iron. Good show James!

I stuck with you. Keep up the vids James! I have the same driving iron in the bag. It’s quite the round saver when the driver is off the planet. 👍

Stayed till the end... great bit of content this was

Stayed until the end!!! Both clubs give an option, all about course management, something I am picking up and starting to work out,👍

I stayed. :) I just purchased a 2019 TM 790 2 UDI. I also have a 2019 TM 790 3i. As a high handicapper; I'm not consistent enough to actually play with these but I wanted to get better at irons..so in the bag they go on training days. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to slide them in for a game. Thanks for making your videos. Always a pleasure to watch them.

I always tend to talk myself out of playing my 4iron off the tee(4 is my longest iron) but honestly I will adotpt this strategy for the rest of the season. My driver actually broke a week ago, so perfect reason to start.

Stayed to the end. Another good video teaching us don’t be afraid to try something new.

Stayed till the end, great video James.

stayed till the end...………...loved it!!

I stuck all the way from Oz! Great video!!

Par is a good score James, three pars in a row "up and down" is good entertaining golf 😀

Stayed to the end. Very interesting makes you think your way around the course.

I stuck with you James. Great video and I’m really enjoying your content mate. Thanks

i stuck with you till the end! My i500 4 iron and my g400 5 wood are the same loft, so i usually decide which to bag when im looking and accessing the weather and type of course im playing! Keep the videos coming!

Very interesting video, considering putting this to the test when the weather gets better with driver, hybrid and 4 iron, as tee shots can make or break my round

Love my 2 iron and so consistent. Follow up with a hybrid (par 5), a 3 or 4 iron (long par 4) or a pitching wedge (short par 4) for my second shots. Leave my driver at home for now. Loved your video.

I stuck with you till the end. Pars are never boring. Another great video.

I stayed with you...enjoyed seeing the two different approaches!

Good to see you back in the uk with some on course stuff

Great vid James reminds me of when you first started. Fond memories of Woolley

Stayed till the end, I recently tried the U510 4iron for those long par 3s / short par 4s and loved it. Play off 22, but much prefer to hit an iron over a hybrid, off the tee.

Good video. Post Covid-19 I have been struggling with my driver hence I am now using my 2 rescue (16°) and 3 (19°) rescue of the Tee. The results are very impressive.

I stayed through the final hole. I wish my golf game could be that boring. 😆 I'd shoot bogey, bogey, stroke maximum reached on those 3 holes. Great video James.

I stayed to the end to see if that driving iron approach had got the beers in while you were walking up ;) good stuff James

I stuck with you, until the final hole! Great point that you have to be able to hit every club THAT’S IN YOUR BAG. Otherwise there’s no point in carrying it. Then it’s just extra weight to haul around. There are SO many options now - mini driver, UDI, 5 & 7 woods, all kinds of hybrids, wedges in every loft from 45 to 64 degrees - that you have to figure out what works for YOU and what makes the game most enjoyable. And thanks for showing your divot replacements and ball mark repairs. I get lazy on that at times, but seeing your good example reminds me I have to do better at doing my part to take care of the courses I play at.

I stuck with you! I've never tried a driving iron before, my 20 degree hybrid plugs the gap.

Thank you James. I have been thinking, for a few years now, that I should have a driving Iron as I might hit it better. I think you would have been about Pin High with the two driver iron shots on the 18th, or possibly just rolled off the green. I struggle so much with a driver that I will hit a 3 wood or a 3 iron depending on which one I'm hitting best that particular day. BTW Lessons this past year with a Pro didn't help me much with the driver either. I just wish I knew someone with one that I could try on the course as playing with them in a facility with the cameras it didn't do much for me, maybe 5 to 10 yards was all.

I stuck with you. and i have the p790 driving iron and driver in the bag. Love your vlogs

Stuck with you mate ! Like you say time and place for everything in the bag!

Love the video. Really interesting. Keep it up

I do keep a Mizuno MP20 HMB 3i in the bag, love it on short par 4s. I usually get around 220yds with it. That was a great up and down on 18.

I stayed with you till the end. I work hard on driving accuracy because for me the closer is always better. My mid to short irons are way more accurate than the long ones.

4 hybrid vs driver, as a shorter hitter (but improving with lessons) my approach changes as my yardages and accuracy improve. More comfortable with driver now but on those tight holes the 4 hybrid puts me in great position and if it's a longer par 4 i have turned my 5 hybrid into a scoring club through lessons. great video!

I stayed til the end. Agree with everything you said. I can see a driving iron possibly more useful on windy links course.

Good video that illustrates difference btwn driver amd driving iron.

Stayed with you James, always enjoy your videos 👍

stayed to final hole. Great video comparison...

Stayed until the end! I stayed until the end! I wish I could make 6 pars in a row, don't put yourself down James!

I stuck with you till the end!

I have played driving iron only during the first year and a half of competition play, it got me to around 10 hcp. But then I really started missing the extra yardages a driver has on offer. So I bought one and really felt the difference in competition when I struck it well.

I stayed with you lol Love the vlogs I have just started using other clubs to tee off on some par 4s to leave me a full shot in I always use to hit Driver

I stuck with ya!! Ive always been able to control my driver better than a long/driving iron. Btw...PAR is always our friend

Not boring at all. Enjoyed it.

I stick with you 😂😂 nice video, always considering putting a driving iron in the bag

Stayed to the end 😀 I have driver and u510 driving iron in my bag

I stuck with u to the final hole. U played some great golf there James

I stuck with you until the end a pleasure as always

One of your best videos in my opinion, nice to see you playing. Better than your usual rubbish :-) Very good watch! I carry a MP 20 HMB 2 iron, its brilliant into the wind where driver gets blown all over the place. Links is where a DI really comes into it own though. Cheers

Nice vid James! Like most things when it comes to clubs it all personal preference. I always feel uneasy over driver but would take 4 iron on a tee no problem, and that’s why I’ve decided to take a 2 iron over 5 wood. Keep it up!!

Watching you putt with the circle T must make you wonder why you used anything else haha 😂 so good!

Stuck with you, I sold my 3 wood fir driving iron , more fun off the tee, also means I can use driver more with less options, Good vid mate

I stuck with you. Would love to see more videos with driving irons.

I stuck with you. I got the UDI P790 a few weeks ago and took my driver out of my bag. I will reconsider it once I feel I need it to keep improving. Plus I just keep losing balls with the driver...

Great stuff. I have a 2iron which I use on narrow par 4's

Love it, Wish I could hit as driving iron off the ground.

I stuck with you & enjoyed the ride!

I stuck with you, and nice save for par with the driving iron ball!! I don't have a driving iron, but use my hybrid off the tee if I need to play ultra safe, I feel very confident with it, about 195/205 yards. Yes, the 18th at Woolley is a great finishing hole, it's a tight approach depending on where your drive lands and where the pin is. Also, it's a killer on a late winter afternoon if the sun is ever out, it's low and right into you; as soon as you look up after you've hit your shot, you're blinded!!

Stuck with you - time and a place for the right club / s for you!💪👍🙂

Got to have both in the bag! Aim right with an open face....surprised you weren’t right of the clubhouse!

I stuck with you, great vid james I recently got p790s 4i-pw an have being thinking about getting the 2 iron. I hit driver well enough usually but there’s always a bad round just round the corner to think of

I'd take boring pars anytime... great video, this is something I do a lot, I'd rather find the fairway than leather a driver when the hole is playing very tight with a lot of hazards

I sometimes play practice rounds at my club in the summer without any woods in my bag. Helps my focus on iron strikes.

Always enjoy watching my home course on KZfaq.

Great video as allways James

I stuck it out .that's golf .good vid

Love my P790UDI! Thing is a monster

Stuck with you mate. Great little experiment might give it a bash 👍

I stuck with you James, I like driver , just going for it 👍🏾

I stuck with you too....Great video James...looks like you have your own personnel golf course...lucky you..James you being a Mizuno Man...would you do a video on your take of the Mizuno MP 20 MB vs MMC vs HMB irons...What shafts work best and flex...etc...Like the Mizuno looks and tech-knowledge of these irons...Thanks...Ali

Don’t worry about being boring with pas my friend! To be totally honest I would rather watch you make shots that I’m more likely to be shooting. Helps give me different ideas for when I play. And honestly if I pared every hole on an 18 I’d be stoked!

Love that you have a lav mic now for your videos! sounds great

Stayed til the end. I was rooting for the driving iron as I cant hit driver, i have some lessons booked in though

Watched till the end and after 2 weeks of not playing I'm sticking my driving iron in my bag tomorrow. Should be interesting

I stuck with you. I often hit less than driver on shorter par 4 or tight fairways.

My season hasn't started yet (getting closer) but I have thrown my old Northwestern 1 iron back in the bag to play with this year. I don't know how much I'll use it but I think it's worth a try....... By the way, I watched till the end.....

James great vid, would love to see maybe something with more MOI like a hybrid or 5 wood

I stuck with you! I'd like to see you do a no woods v all clubs challenge. I did it recently and the scores weren't too different

Always till the end.

Stayed to the end. And what it’s shown is that a driving iron can help you hang if you struggle with a driver. Anything that gives you confidence will help. But as you said get lessons as it’s easier the closer you are.

Stayed till the end. I carry the same driving iron in my bag but in steel shaft. I carry it in the bag basically to get out of trouble (keeping low out of trees) or when I need to play a stinger into the wind.

I stuck with you.... accuracy all day for me

I stayed till the end and learned that if I could strike the ball like James, it wouldn't really matter which one I used either. I cant however, so I use my driver which is the most consistent club in my bag.

I stuck it out. But I used to have a driving iron. In my younger years. No more. Getting closer to a full bag of fairway woods. Sweep away Jose'. Hope you enjoyed your golf. Grass looks green. Mostly brown here now, but temps hanging around the 50 degree F mark. Won't be long. Enjoy your week end.

I think that it's all based on situation and how well your playing..... Confidence is high, take a driver, unsure of what's ahead play a club less.... The course I play I know if I play with my 3 iron and my mid irons I will be around the green with a good chance at par. My pitching is where I really need to get better stand is was I will be practicing this year, so I don't use my driver unless it's absolutely needed. I have moved courses so will be a.little different this year but I am looking forward to it!

My G400 Max driver is like playing a 8 Iron. It's so easy to hit it straight, it improved my game so much!

I stuck with you too. Never tried a driving iron, but was interested to see how you faired with it.

Stuck around until the end, but what you need to do is look at percentage play. There are holes where I could, with a well played driver, hit the green that I hit 4 Iron off the tee because it’s about consistent positioning, and minimising the risk of bogey.
