Finally someone who is honest about their golf game and doesn't only show good shots. Respect!

I'm playing nearly as much golf this winter as I did over the summer. The cold temperatures and "extra moisture" keep the courses delightfully uncrowded; it's just me and the other golf sicko's now!

Nice to see a real and genuine breakdown of your golf game and what to except at your level - or I suppose 'golf development' would be a more appropriate phrase. As someone who has just started playing golf, this video has really given me confidence and reassurance that I am heading in the right direction and what to do to get there. Thank you!

Hey David Attenborough, that ‘duck’ is a Canada Goose 😂, another enjoyable video thanks.

Hi Luke, really enjoyed this especially since I’ve played the course myself! I loved the graphic on the right of the screen. Some huge golf channels don’t bother to do this and then when you don’t know the course you can get lost where they are on the hole and how the shots have gone. This little touch made the video very watchable!

this is my first time watching, quite enjoyed it! love the background music its at a perfect sound level compared to the voiceover etc. love the little map on the right showing where on the hole your ball is going. nice touch. keep up the good work, love to see relatable golf

This was a great video. Loved how you’ve put it all together with the scoring, distances, maps etc. And your golf was good too. You seem like a golfer who doesn’t get sucked in with his EGO - like me. New sub for sure. Hopefully my channel can get to this in the next year. 😅

Great round Luke, once you are able to not get those blowout holes you will be a force to be reckoned with on the course. Love seeing your improvement over the time. Cheers mate

I can't say how much I love this channel. There's just something about watching similar caliber golfers as myself. 😅

Just discovered your channel, great stuff. I’m a similar standard to you (12.6 world handicap). One thing that has helped me in the winter is always taking one extra club as I often come up short, and never taking three 3 wood off the fairway - always switching to 5 wood, which works out better most of the time. Looking forward to see more videos from you!

i had to like this video right away when you thinned it and hit it into the Tree LOL. I been there. Respects for having a good attitude and being out there!

Love it mate. Really great video , editing and lay out ! Good golf too ! First I’ve watched of yours. Will be watching many more. Buying some stiff shaft titleist irons after Christmas and really really looking forward to using them on the course. I’m unhandicapped at the moment as I usually only play Ambrose but will be playing a lot by myself over the holidays. Looking forward to watching more videos in the future ! Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year mate!

Another nice video Luke. Great content and as a new golfer really like the detail about how you are improving your technique and getting your handicap down.

nice to see a full round , an honest round love it .. more please luke

Just discovered your channel, it put me in a really good place as I'm a 22 handicap 73 years old and trying to improve. Thanks for an interesting video.

Great stuff Luke. Real progress showing here, particularly that glut of pars around the turn. You’re steadily improving 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Enjoyed the video. More of these please!

Nicely done, Danny. Excellent coming home. Hang in there and I hope it warms up soon. It probably won't but it's the thought that counts. Happy New Year. 🥂⛳️🏌

One of the most honest golf rounds i have seen. just like when i am playing, ups and downs :)

Appreciate the content sir. Nice to see someone actually get around with same handicap as myself. The game that can never be beat.. Cheers..

Surprisingly enjoyable to watch.

Well played and well done for breaking 90. Very good recovery on the back 9. When you use the 3 wood off the deck you need to hit down on it more so you can get it up in the air due to the 3 wood loft is very low

So similar to me.. last weekend I went +11 through first four home then got 5 pars.. nearly walked off after 4 but just got to stick to it. Consistency will come, love the videos and keep them coming

getting better, good work

nice video, i was once given the advice of play bogey golf to break 90 it sure helped me out in the early days , eventually after practice and understanding where you made your mistakes you will learn to erase them from your round and you’ll soon be breaking 80, then 75 ! keep it going , 👍👍

nice format for videos... keep it up!

Well played..I am also a 15 Hcap and find it so hard to better my scores...keep posting more rounds of golf...keep up the good golfing..

Love these videos! Wish I could play more winter golf, but the snow has just ended my season early up here in New England. Some day I’ll hit more than 1 par per round!

Great round! I have yet to break 90, but I feel I'm getting close. You inspire me to try 🙂

Really enjoyed the video Luke....well played, Also enjoyed the fact that you are absorbing the advice in the book you are reading re keeping double bogeys off your card....now only dealing in bogeys and triples !!😀 All the best for 2023 👍

Consistent good T shots. Played driver particularly well on this. Plenty of pars. Excellent round. It was a pleasure watching. All the best Luke.

Well played. Great back 9. Winter golf: Need to recalibrate distances in the colder weather. Plus, Easy to lose balls when hitting into a low sun. So a playing partner/Spotter is needed. Tomorrow will be my first really cold start of this winter....-3°C forecast for overnight temp..My tee time is 10am, so hoping will be above freezing!!

These videos are so enjoyable. Keep ‘em coming!!

Excellent video Luke

Really good content once again. Very enjoyable viewing.

Well done Luke nice recovery from a difficult start. Those greens looked a little tricky and difficult to read for pace. I’m currently playing in 33 degree weather and instead of dodging ducks I’m dodging kangaroos. Thanks for the upload once again.

Loving the videos Luke! I reckon your spikeless shoes may be impacting you. Other than that I think you're a fab golfer and your content is a fresh of breath air. Looking forward to be seeing more content in the new year.

Really enjoyed the video. I am about a 15 HC too and trying to improve... I really want to break 80 this next year. I'm just going to keep at it. Good luck too!

Great video. I’ve been a member of LGC since April and my best round is 88. Lovely course

Just found your channel. Very relatable. New sub⛳️🏌️‍♂️

Great run of pars! Tee shots with driver were really good too. I'm a similar ability myself but not that consistent off the tee yet

It's tough playing in those conditions. Keep up the good work!

Well done Luke. I'm a similar standard to you and would be delighted with that flurry of pars. Just some course management to reduce the triples and you would be close to breaking 80!

First time tuning in from New Zealand. The way I look at it is that at 15 handicap you are only expected to make 3 pars during a round. You made 6. Already under par. If you can eliminate the triples and turn those into doubles then that's another 3 shots. Throw in a wee bit more course management, like not going for the green with a long iron over water and just laying up, saving even more. All in all, a great round. Definitely practice the bump and run. 1/3 air time for total distance = 2/3 distance run out.

Great round. That front 9 would have done me in and probably really hindered my back 9. Great job in regaining some confidence with those back to back pars. Need to try and take some of that on

Nice video Luke. With snow now on the ground here I am stuck hitting balls into a net in the garage, taking videos of my swing trying to engrain better habits without any sort of ball-flight feedback. Good? Not really, but I can only take so many indoor putting drills. Cheers.

Beautiful course!

No winter golf for me … At range today… virtually I was playing at Royal County Down. Most enjoyable. Nice back to back pars. ATB Gerry 👍🏌️‍♂️

Good round Luke. Wike looked decent will have to give it ago. Managed to get out a couple of times,played boothferry near howden. Not bad for the time of year andno restrictions.

Recovery on the back 9 was unreal, triple aside (which was essentially a bogey without the drop) going to be close to touching 80 soon in prime conditions. Brave ducks/geese always appreciated the shots they must have seen 😂

Nice one Luke. Some real solid golf in there. Keep trying to make sure you get your putts up to the hole, some of those putts you took looked on line and could have went in. Thumbs up !

The duck didn’t even flinch man has been through some shit 😮

First Relate golf content to my handicap. Nice Content!

Finally. Someone I can relate to. Good work, Luke.

Great to see something else than pros (or scratch players) videos ! Nice one !

Another good round sir 👏

Great improvement with your tee shots and putter. Well done!!!

Great edit mate, loved the video. I'm also from Yorkshire but never been to Wike Ridge. Keep up the great vids!

Nice back 9!!! And I live in Florida, so now is the best time to golf!

I'm sitting here rooting so hard for these birdie and par looks you'd think I have money on this guy. Love the video :)

Arnie said " golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. It satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening--it is without doubt the greatest game mankind has ever envented".

We are the same skill level. I was looking for a channel for the average golfer. Well done mate

Great par run 👍 (You might want to check the rules regarding temporary water in bunkers, though (hole 17) 😊)

Well done mate, good round in tough conditions.

Nice video man! Your game reminds me of my own game! I am a 16 handicap and i can go front nine +1 and back nine + 15 🤣 maybe the day will come at some point that we can play all 18 holes with confidence

New to the channel and just want to say great video mate! You have a great swing btw keep it up 👍

Nice video good content. When putting in the winter on damp greens sometimes you might stroke it a little harder. Because the damp green will slow the roll significantly, especially uphill

I'm still playing. If it's not raining and windy and over 35 degrees I'm going to play. Great job breaking 90. Looks like we both have issues struggling with the fairway woods and an occasional pulled left shot.

Brilliant Video. Really interesting

Luke some good shots there. You wouldn`t get away with picking out of the watery bunker without a penalty in our fiddle though.😁

Hi Luke, I’m writing from Rome in Italy🇮🇹, one advice I can give you for this new year 2k23 would be to work very much on approaches and putts. If you have a teacher who following you, ask him to make training cards designed for you, so you will definitely improve your game. Have a nice golf and good luck!! ;)

You played a great little stretch of holes there from 9 to 13; well done mate!

Well, this is great! Finally, relatable golf ❤ great video - very well produced yet still ‘real’. Great work 👍🏼 #NewSubscriber

Those bumpy greens are crazy!

Nice golf mate 👍

I really like your editing and composition in the video. You should go far in presenting such good content. The biggest difference I see in the hole by hole vlog is the commentary done after the fact versus being live on course. However, talking and playing is not an easy thing to do! Well done. I'll subscribe and look forward to more great vids. And then... One, I hit the green and, two... I didn't kill anyone! Love your priorities! LOL

Got 20cm of snow in Finland at the moment, can't wait for next season to start!

Well done mate, I'm a member at wike and always struggle on holes 2, 8 and 14 as well. 👍

Nice vid mate and some pretty consistent drives, found the fairway with the majority of them so always a good start 👍 I’m a pom living in Australia so weather for me is great golfing all year round but flying back for Christmas tomorrow, clubs in tow, think I might need to buy sone hand warmers but will be fun playing with me best mates again. Anyway enjoyed the vid and keep it up 😉👍

7:35 That might be the most lofted putter I've ever seen 😂 Nice back nine mate!

Awesome content, brother, thank you! sub

Well done mate. Great recovery from your front 9.

I’m in Poland. Thanks to a very mild winter so far I am out on the course tomorrow 🎉

for a 15 hc, you make so many good choices around the course. most golfers would hit driver on those short par 4s, but the fact that you're hitting 3 woods will make you a great golfer in the future

My first time watching, and just subscribed. Suggestion, since it appears there’s a variety of golfers playing, please include who is playing in the title or description. I definitely don’t want to miss any by Luke if they’re all this cool. Btw, I am looking forward to checking out the other players as well. Thanks, 20 handicap golf-nut.

This is awesome! I’m surprised you’re able to hit your 56 degree 85 yards!

I tried the “waggle” with fairway woods / hybrids off the deck -after seeing some videos on YT - massive improvement of consistency and distance.

Unreal back 9 mate 👍

Maan watching this really makes me feel good about my game 😅

Thank you for sharing your game! Loving the channel. I've noticed though that you don't finish your golf shots (like me). Have you noticed you don't finish your swing?

great game, analysis, but you were plagued by bad greens for sure! keep it up

That's the best I've seen you play so far. And the big fellas not with ya (Fence). Might be a clue or at the very least not have a butt blocking the view. Food for thought 🤔 😋

Nice round. Very good video work. May I suggest using a 5 wood rather than a 3 wood? It has more loft and is easier to get up into the air.

Your struggling with the same thing I have since I started playing - standing up in the down swing / early extension and then topping it! I feel the pain, but I think im through it fingers crossed!

I was playing quite a bit up until this week when the weather turned much colder (Philadelphia region). Mid 40's F is my temperature threshold for golf. I enjoyed watching a player with a similar handicap to my own work around the course. The driving and approach shots were very similar to my game. The major difference was in chipping and putting. Perhaps it was the conditions ....but my short game is much better (aside from the early back 9 par run). I'm a 13 hdcp....maybe those 2 strokes of difference in hdcp are where short game differences matter? In any event....I enjoyed the video....thanks for posting!

Great video. 1st one I have watched. I am no golf coach but to me, it looked like you hit the ball very straight. I don't know what your preshot routine is, but watch the video and see where you are lined up before the shot and where your chest points in your finish. It seemed to be exactly where you hit it. It might be a simple fix by working on alignment and aim using a close target to set yourself. Good luck lowering your score and well done!

I am a member at Freshwater Bay GC on the Isle of Wight. It’s a cliff top course which is on a chalk base and drains amazingly. Played 2 or 3 rounds a week for most of this Winter but our enemy is the wind.

great video. At around the same level handicap (17) so it's a good look at someone else's game. Your driver off the Tee is quite good mate.

Brilliant video mate! Nice relatable content! Wanted to ask if you don’t mind, what do you record your videos on?

Very well played and wonderful details on club use,distance and figures plus the overhead diagrams of each hole. As you hit irons well, did you ever consider utility irons to hit off tees? Less distance a little but more accurate.
