What drink do you want boys all the doubs doubs to those who don’t believe this is the hour hour you’ll see that will make gliders out of obst lovely jubly hello and welcome back to Josh YouTube today we’re going to be doing a little nine hole Vlog probably a

Little bit less golf more talking about what shot we’re going to hit today hopefully you guys like this one leave a comment down below if you do and let’s get going super important that you get the body moving before you go and play it’s just you got to be a little bit warm

Before you hit that t-shot but then you’ve got no excuse if you do it a bad one so sometimes it’s quite nice to tee off without a warm up cuz that can then be the excuse if you had a bad one okay first hole is quite a

Challenging par 4 um into the Breeze today 399 yards um the sun is literally blocking the view right now so you guys will probably know where this one goes before I do um but let’s just try and stay committed hit a good shot okay so not a bad drive just up the

Right hand side um Green’s just to the left of this tree that you can see um just going to try and really play for the middle of the green the flag’s on the right hand side so you know obviously going to play left of it just give ourselves a putt for birdie would

Be ideal and I’ve got these like wispy um branches in front I find these don’t really affect it you know if it was to hit one of these it wouldn’t knock it offline too much so we’re just going to ignore that they’re even there sit okay just back left edge of the

Green pulled that slightly right and if you’ve watched the other course Vlog you’ll know 1 2 3 4 five 6 7 8 10 so this is our Landing Zone here and we know this is a slight bit uphill so I’m actually going to go nine so I’m looking

At around this kind of area area here to Land it on and it release up we got the 56 cuz this time of year the greens are a bit softer um so let’s try and bump this one in an all right light just kind of looking in that um

Light bit in the middle we had there as our landing spot let’s try and dial this one in Perfect Landing Zone go go go slower than I thought okay so now we got a tester I mean I normally take pting very seriously but on these greens at the

Minute um you know UK winter golf you just can’t get too upset I mean I’m going to aim this as if it was a 1% break at the left Edge is hopefully it holds it line and then she goes okay really good par save there at

The first um second hole I bushel it at 120 playing up five so 125 we’re into the breeze it’s cold outside um you know in the Sim I’m looking at a gap wedge really uh here I’ve actually pulled a 99 just because of the temperature I’m in more layers

So let’s try and dial this one in haven’t turn my phone on again right let’s see if we can dial this one in tight little drawer into the pin location not bad okay not a bad second shot there just off the left edge of the green

We’re going to place it out one 2 3 4 five six so so 21 ft it’s a weird one cuz this first kind of section um it’s actually going to go right to left off of this Fringe and then it’s going to want to kind of come back at the end

So overall I mean this is where AO kind of goes out the window and you’re you’re looking at your line with your eyes bit of both um but I think this is probably just outside that left Edge it’s going to want to dive at the end so all about

Speed on this one we’ll take a tart all day long hit it oh my God firing now I think this is what they call one of these um you know this is one of them that you just don’t give your playing partner ever um it’s moving probably

This is probably a 3% slope um I’ll give this one a little bit of aim Point uh yeah we’re outside the edge of the hole at one foot past Pace this should drop I notice when I line up the ball sometimes you know when I stand over it it just doesn’t look

Right so I will adjust it until I’m 100% comfortable put a good stroke on it in she goes right par par start not bad at all you know tough kind of couple of holes there and this one is even tougher um down the right hand side’s fine so

Normally quite naughty of me but I’m going to aim in the right trees if I push it it’s fine if I pull it it’s fine um if we hit a dead straight one hopefully we get Super Lucky but it should curve one way so right trees and just try and hit my ball

Flight pulled the living life out of it fading in sit to get Super Lucky sit okay we’re going to have to pray we’re not behind a tree okay this one for me is a bit of a uh a round um breaker and probably a shot where I can either play it super

Aggressive or super safe we’re GNA kind of go in between the two I’m just going to hit a little eight iron and as I said these little overhanging branches I just really don’t think they affect it that much so I’m going to go a IR just at the

Left edge of the green just try and fade it aeir hopefully it moves for me and it just has not moved a muscle sit down just on the left Ed edge of the green not too bad safe okay just finished off the left edge of the green

There um got a little chip and run I’ve got 60° just literally trying to pop it out release it to the hole this one’s probably just going to land on the green and release out in the hole come on oh it’s a beautiful touch it’s going to be good enough for a

Kick in with the wedge and that is a nice par save after that rough t- shot okay three parts to start super happy with that always level par through three is a great score so four4 about 290 yards from this t- box I’ve got a little two iron just trying to hit a

Fairway finder okay just down the left hand side that one is absolutely fine okay t-shot was absolutely spoton just down the left hand side 68 yards left um now it’s a little bit into the breeze um not too much but I’m going to play this one as

If it was probably a 70 yard pins at the back so actually keep it at 68 if it comes up couple of yards short we’re absolutely fine let’s dial this one in oh this is way short Club just got dug in the ground oh good God okay I should have

Bought my bushnel to uh zap the flag because we are probably about 25 yard short here awful pit shot um and you do not want to be leaving yourself these on winter greens so this one might have to be a full swing with the lab putter

But let’s try and get that inside the Dustbin lid would be the dream tell you what oh my God that is fantastic okay and even on these little tiddlers I’m putting the line down you know um don’t lose your concentration on these cuz you do not want to miss

Them in the side door we will take the two part from around 200 ft okay we got 119 playing 124 up 5 yards again I’ve got a nine ey now I’d love to hit a pitch and wedge here but pin being on the front we got a hell of a lot of

Room behind it not a lot of room short of it so long of the flag is a must let’s try and dial this one in come on okay good line Beer Club oh what drink do you want boys okay it’s pitched here so I’m assuming it’s probably taken one skid to maybe around

Here and just zipped back unfortunately hence why 99 was probably quite a good choice I mean the pitching wedge probably would have spun off the front edge of the green there but you know we’ve still got a birdy chance if we roll it down a good line looking like it’s a slight bit

Right to left I like to feel the slope in my feet and then confirm that with my eyes so yeah just a touch of right to left here okay just going to start this one outside the right lip hopefully it hold holds on a good line that’s what we

Love okay so super happy to be in the red um brilliant little birdie there on the par three rolled in a nice P actually strange um to hold putts this time of year in the UK but we’ll take it um Par Four here sixf winter te um

Driver is probably not really the play but I hit a bad one on Three so and one so I’m looking for Revenge with the big stick let’s try and make a good swing I’m just getting a bit pulley a little bit steep make sure my alignment’s good bump that

Left hip let’s put a good swing on It come on baby okay really nice bit low but very good line should be perfect well it’s an absolute Corker well an absolute perfect Drive um leaving me 52 yards in here so this one is a lob wedge going to try and land it

At probably around about 49 10t short should just skid up there a little bit come on then needs to sit not bad just kind of off that down slope I didn’t really take into uh consideration the down slope I mean always when you’re off a down slope it’s

Just going to go a touch further just as you’re getting a little bit more sharling comes out a touch lower a bit hotter so misjudge that one but still going to be a chance for the birdie okay nice shot in there like I say just didn’t really take into consideration

That down late um not bad though we’ve got around 15 ft for birdie okay so this one’s kind of tripping me out a little bit um it’s pretty straight I’m not really feeling much so okay we’re going to go straight just put a nice stroke on it hopefully these winter

Greens can hold it straight come on oh just needed to Ed it a little bit firmer and it would have dropped but we will take the par okay me and these mats don’t really get along um one under par still par there on the whole six whole s

Shorsh Par Four from here um we’re probably 40 50 yards up here uh the front edge of the green is probably 300 but uphill around 20 yards so we’re going to really need to pump this one to get it up there but we got a hell of a lot of room not

Much room on this mat as I like aiming to the left but let just try and hit this baby drawer come on oh God super quick left and we’re on the other hole I just hate these mats where I aim to the left I just can’t get far enough round we’ll

Use that as the excuse anyway okay 94 playing 98 into the breeze this one’s going to be playing all of probably actually probably 115 shot I think from here so just try and get this one back there keep this one a touch low if we

Can I’ve just chunk the hell out of it Go Go Hard okay we’re on the green okay so this one kind of moved moves a lot more at the end um I’m going to go for around a 2% slope all about speed on these ones speed’s good well not even speed

And double whammy speed and line terrible welcome to one of them land again left Edge I mean on these greens these are just shaky every single time you have one the all looks smaller and smaller this one is on the left Edge come on roll it in nice and positive and she

Goes okay so we’re still one under par e hole par five round about 490 yards Green’s on a temporary one so it’s playing a lot shorter just going to try and aim down the right right hand side a hint of draw and it should be perfect okay I hit this one really low

Spinning it’s fine just up the left hand side it’s a nice drive just up the left hand side leaving me 145 playing 138 so this one’s actually down Breeze um kind of opposite to what we’ve had on every other shot in I actually don’t want to go long here so I’ve got pitching

Wedge um I’m going to try and play it for around about a 130 number would be spot on so 130 number just try and dial it in okay perfect golf shot okay they’ve absolutely baited me in there one two three four five 6 eight 24 ft not a bad

Golf shot this green is ropey is soaking wet this one literally just stopped instantly um but a good chance for the eagle what we’re going no aim Point nothing this one is pretty much hit and hope and if we get it to the hole it’s an absolute bonus come

On let’s give this one a ram I’ve lagged it I’ve lagged it oh it’s going to be a tapping bird to get to to under P okay so we got 50 5 yards to finish um this one’s normally a lot longer but the tea is actually

Underwater so the UK Winter life is real okay so 55 yards pins in the middle of the green should be no dramas but let’s see get up maybe a little my m is up there just giv me the thumbs up okay a beautiful shot in there can we finish with a

Birdie so this one is around about a 2% just outside that left edge of the hole okay can we finish with a bird for free under par lovely jubly okay that was a lovely round of golf really good to just get out in the sun and get some steps in really um

Beautiful day out here and we’re Super Lucky in the UK when we get a day like this you just got to make the most of it so if you did enjoy that please be sure to smash that like button subscribe and we’ll see you all for the next one

  1. I love that you can bring your dog – that's my dream, I wish my dog wouldn't lose its mind if I brought it.

  2. Assuming this was Friday the 26th? Was a lovely day down in Hampshire and I too nipped out for an afternoon round. Didnt look anything like your round though. +17 for me.

    Was an old guy (mid 80s at least) behind me who talked to me every chance he got to tell me about his previous rounds and how he just did on the last hole. Assumed he was lonely so invited him to play with me after the 2nd. Made my round worse, but hopefully he got more out of it.

    Cheers.

  3. Throw a little score card template for description of the holes being played and your score to par. Its nice to see the transition from sim to course. It's always a different beast with lie angles when playing for real. Great flow in the video otherwise.

  4. Got a sub off me. Nice to see good play in difficult conditions. It's barely worth even looking at lines currently on the greens where I play. Just hit it at the hole and worry about pace. Gets frustrating when you have a really good ball striking day and you wonder how good the score could have been on a greens where you can putt meaningfully. You can have wild 6 shot fluctuations just based on fortunate or unfortunate holing out from inside 6 foot. We really should be used to it in the UK but as each winter passes, it seems to get longer to get to spring.

  5. Great round mate, and your outdoor rounds get tons of views because sim players want to see how your sim handicap holds up outdoors, so keep posting those outdoor rounds when you have good weather.

  6. Boy, that LAB putter has a satisfying sound doesn't it? BTW I'm on the same latitude as you guys are, but it's just been pissing like crazy here. My club is SOGGY…

  7. Trying to break par on ropey winter greens is a nightmare at the moment. Especially when you are a low handicap and rely on holing your fair share.

  8. Great video! Can see the footprints on that green! 😂 got to love winter league. Josh do you work in the gym with weights and fitness aimed at improving strength for golf?

  9. Shooting a vlog on your own, whilst looking after a dog, AND playing good golf.. 😛 now thats an achievement! 🙂

  10. The amount of high handicaps that wouldn’t be happy landing over 25ft from the hole on a par 3 is incredible including myself playing of 8 .. nice 9 holes and lesson learnt 👏

  11. Currently a 4 hcp trying to get to the next level (playing casually once a week). I've noticed that if I can at least keep the ball on the golf course from the tee, I shoot low rounds around par. I'm an iron player so driver swing is really hard for me. I got some really good tips around course management from this video as well, especially about front pins, I'm tired of ripping them off the green. Subbed!!

  12. Curious… title says +6, isn't Jon Rahm a +6; you look like a tidy little player but +6 would be a different world I'm thinking?

  13. At what point in your game did you transition from playing the bump and runs with pw 9 8 7 to playing 60* around the greens? Did you always play lofted around the greens? Do you lean more toward lofted vs bump/run?

    I feel like the ratio is opposite for higher handicappers like myself. More pitch and bumps, 58 rarely…whereas lower handicap its like always 60 and almost rarely a bump and run.

  14. well, dont take it ina bad way but that doesnt look like a challenging course at all… any low hdcper would do under par
