Winning Ugly at +1.2 Hcp – Every Shot at Northcliffe Golf Club

Last time out, I bottled it. The handicap held but the performance didn’t — and I knew it. This time it’s different.

The YouTube Handicap Tracker has me sitting at +1.2 handicap — top 50 YouTube golfers worldwide. This round was about proving that number is real. Every shot. No excuses.

Northcliffe Golf Club is no pushover — a tight, tree-lined Yorkshire parkland that punishes anything loose. The back 9 especially has a habit of unravelling scratch golfers. You’ll see why, with potentially the best finishing hole around.

This is the full round — every shot, every decision, every moment where it could have fallen apart again.

Did I pass the test this time? Watch and tell me. 👇
