Great video Andy . The 12th ''Spectacles'' is up there with the best of them . Lucky enough to be a member here and Turnberry and i can honestly say Southerness is my favorite course in the world . If you fancy a challenge against a cackhander let me know ⛳

Love the new style / direction of videos Andy! It doesn’t get any better than square sausage and golf at Southerness!!! 😊😊😊 I grew up playing golf at Kirkcudbright just a few miles along the Galloway coast but always loved playing Southerness - one of my favourite courses!

The absence of hype, clickbait and shouty look at me commentary is both welcome and refreshing. The production values are god tier, I don't know where you learned these skills but they are up there with anything that the professionals produce, and I don't mean Golf Professionals, I mean SKY / BBC etc. Just a golfer in love with the game and it's surroundings and it shows as the course becomes the star performer. If you like this style I don't think it gets any better. Massive congratulations to everyone involved. - Mark

Andy, your wife is the photography winner. Frames a very good photo C, is the winner. I like the new format a lot. Let’s face it, a lot of channels are a bit like club sales pitches that have been done to death. Showing beautiful lesser known courses is definitely the way forward. Thanks for the content.

Loving this channel more and more. Such and antidote to the usual shouty marketing videos of so many other golftubers. Tracy-C gets my vote. A quick tweak with some levels in a photo editor and a limited print run would make it a real winner I think. Good luck and good health to you both

I agree Andy - the 12th is the best hole on the course. That turn towards the green and the Solway Firth behind it is magical. A really tough hole especially the approach with the two bunkers on the right and the knoll on the left. But the walk up to the green is special. We played it on a very windy day and it was tough. The elevated tee box on the 13th gives the best view of the course and that is why I'm going Tracy c for my fav photo. I'd love to play the course again in calmer conditions. A really special, old school links experience. A great video that bought back a lot of wonderful memories. Thanks!

What a great video Andy! Superb camera work to really encapsulate southerness and the views. Looks an ace place to be and to play golf. So want to visit there now. Tracy-C was the best photo but Andy -D pushed it close. A couple of questions for you: 1) what was the background music playing from 6.00-9.30ish? 2) what was the name of the lodge and where is it?

There's another gem of a course not far from Southerners, check out Lochmaben GC, not a links so definitely at it's best in summer but it drains so well that it's still a great track all year round.

What a beautiful, thoughtful video Andy! I thoroughly enjoyed that. 👏 This video reminded me a little bit of a photographer / KZfaq content creator I met a couple of times in London at various photography events, by the name of Sean Tucker. He has a beautiful presentation style, you would probably like his content. If you’ve not seen it before, consider giving it a look. You’re inspiring me take the camera to the course with me now. Unfortunately for you however, I have to hand the victory here to Tracy, for photo C. I did however like your photo A - for me a close third after Tracy B. 😊
