This is what 2.5 handicap golf looks like at Halifax West End — every shot, no filler, from a golfer grinding toward scratch.
Every tee shot, approach and putt. No skipped holes. No ego. Just the reality of a single-figure golfer chasing scratch — the good decisions, the bad ones, and every shot in between.
If you’re chasing your own handicap goal, you’ll recognise every moment in this round. The false confidence. The blow-up hole. The putt that should have dropped. This is the journey.

Every shot filmed. Nothing cut. No ego, no highlight reel, just the full, unfiltered reality of trying to break par.

Be honest… do I have what it takes to be a scratch golfer??
👍 or 👎
Don’t forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed 🤝
Brutal work on Gary, but fair 😂😂😂
Where’s the tsquared 😮
I was a member there for thirty years Jonny. This is bringing back some really nice memories ❤
have you gone back to the spider or is it an old video
I'd kill to play at your level Jonny, for sure! I recently broke my driver and I've been waiting to do a full fitting again to be playing. Bad habit, I know, but the weather has also been brutal here the past weeks…
Nothing worse than back pain on the course Jonny. Sometimes even the love of the game is not enough to make you battle through it. I pulled my back a couple months ago and found myself having to do the same and call it early for several weeks. Rest up big man and as always I look forward to next week's!
Better next time with a good back 😉
Whatever you done to your back Jonny? Love to see you play Gary, he's got a great sense of humour 👍 👍
Back to the old putter !,,
West End is or should I say was before they sold those holes , the smallest 18 hole golf course in UK
Hit the flag when it’s out of the hole is a 2 shot penalty IIRC
Gaz Martin is just jealous you're 50 yards past him all the time
We can't always have our best game, it's how you handle those rounds that matter, and you did great!! 👍
Hope your back feels better soon
14:16 Jonny, that's exactly why we watch. Your ability to get yourself into the muk and then back out again in a matter of minutes is quite entertaining. Plus, you hit shots that us mere mortals will never be able to replicate. It's a good time, every time! 😂😂😂🤘🐵🤘🐵🤘🐵
We all completely understand, Jonny. Maybe next time you are hurt, maybe make a video at home talking about what's going on in the golf world on the internet and professional level. You could ask some fun questions and generate some more interactions from your viewers. Just a thought. Wishing you a speedy recovery, buddy. 🤘🐵🤘🐵🤘🐵
Definitely got your money's worth on this course Jonny!!
I played there on Saturday 27th June in the 4BBB Open Day, been going there for over 20 years, nice course 👍 Missed my eagle putt on the 11th 😭
Your not hitting it to bad , pity on the 7 , and maybe you need to put the t square back in I can see you bleeding out of the old scar's from you spider lol , as always great content, Cheers down under wazza
