Thank you to the team at @whittingtonheathgolfclub6248

Right guys welcome back to the bogey Golf Channel Right guys so we’re actually teeing off on hole number six here it’s just the order of the play starts on hle number six we’ve got a nice little Par Four dog leg to the left not too long so a good t-shot really is rewarded so let’s see

How we play it’s cold I am shivering standing here on this t- box so we’ll need to warm up um as the round goes on but yeah wish me a look guys 18 in holes hope you enjoy this one right guys we’re going to take three wood I think this

Should be more than enough to cut out the corner there oh ladies and gentlemen a little baby drawer down the middle we love that one come on right so we got 132 out not a bad little t- shot there a little bit fat but we got away with it so pitching wedge in

Hand oh dear that is way right okay okay we’ll have to get up and down we’ll have to get up and down we can’t really go Airborne because we’ve got trees overhead so I’m going to just play a little low pitching wedge bump and hopefully hopefully give us a put for

Par go ball go ball okay not quite the strike we wanted we’re scrambling people we’re scrambling welcome to the vog Golf Channel right so I’m going to swap gloves actually I’m hoping my the weather’s warming up a little bit cuz what happens when you wear those thick double thermal gloves

Is you lose so much of the feel so here we go we are going to put this off the green but I feel like damage limitation now it’s not a bad little effort not a bad effort at all okay we’ve got about 6 ft 6 ft to say it was a

Bogey I saw it snake a little bit to the left we should see a little bit of Break come on come on that’s actually huge that’s huge not the best hole um there’s glimmers of Hope in there believe it or not that warmup that you didn’t see was horrendous so yeah we’ll move right guys so hole number two we’re actually off the temporary winter Ms

Behind me you can see there’s a lot of work going on on some of the tea boxes today we’ve got a par three shortish one uh the defense here is clearly bunkers they are everywhere so it’s fair to say you have to hit the green here we’ve got about

135 yards pin looks pretty front 99 it Is oh dear SC into the Heather right we’ve got a challenge on our hands not ideal um I was just saying to uh my sister behind the camera like it’s so cold everything just feels so stiff and I’m a stiff golfer anyway so this isn’t helping

Matters okay this is a bit of a funky chip here I’m not going to have to hit upwards yeah I’ve never hit a go shot like that it is what it is let’s go and hit it again about 40 yard pitch here come on Dennis

Go I mean we’re putting but my word we need to warm up the old hands because the MS aren’t working right let’s just see if we can escape with a bogy here we’re still not on the false front three Strokes in here we go right 50° in hand I’m just

Going to try and bump this on there and then let’s get the flat stick on it forget a move on I think is the order of the day honestly that’s actually not too shabby we’ll take it here for the double bogey um but listen it could be worse

It’s one of those days where it’s I think it’s going to take a while to warm up left to right a touch oh we are scorned as we make a triple bogey on the second hle you hate to see it oh you really hate to see it right

We’ve got a lot of work to do we’ve got a lot of work to do because I want to score well today um my form and my game is in the bin we’re working through a swing change which unfortunately means you’re going to probably see a lot of

Things um thin shots maybe some Shanks along the way but we’re grinding I would love to break 100 today I’d love to break 100 right guys hle number three we’ve got a shortage power 4 now actually playing about 330 yards but we’ve got Fairway bunkers guarding protecting I’m going to hit a four

Hybrid hopefully split those split those Bunkers carry it please oh nice 164 164 yds we’ve got left in um so it’s at the back of the green we’re going to hit a 7 ion come on Dennis confident swing oh that is on it that is on the flag I have not struck a ball that sweet in a

Long time please be good please be good we’re Waring into this round uh thank you guys so much for watching I know it’s been radio silence not many uploads of recent but let me tell you the road map the pipeline of videos coming your way is immense we start here at

Wittington Heath I have got some absolute crackers of golf coers in the UK coming your way for the bucket list Series so yeah strap in this is where it begins but honestly stay tuned if you haven’t subscribed already now is the time to subscribe this to this channel because

We are going in and oh my god get a zomi on that flag ladies and gentlemen we nearly hold out come on we are golfing oh God it’s good to be back it’s good to be back so we pitched here and rolled out a tad I mean that is a hell of a

Golf shot well welcome to high handicap golf triple bogey and then we’ve got about 3 4 feet for a birdie Following C by the way you know you’re at proper GFF when the flags are branded shout out to wittington Heath Birdie on the scorecard early doors come on the vog golf right then hold number four it’s a par four dog leg to the right we’ve got

About 330 Ys um but it’s a big old dog leg so probably for the first time ever I’m going to have to take an aggressive line so I’m aiming that to tallest tree furthest out to the left and carry in the bunker on the left that would be the perfect

Line I’m going to need to hit driving on some of the holes today so I’ve just hit an absolute monster but it’s left okay we’ll find it we’ll find it great hit we actually ran through the Fairway adjacent that drive went 274 yards hell of a smack um we’ve got a

Tough shot now we’ve got right I’m going to Club up 10 eight we’ve got 250 yards I think wind’s going to kind of kill the ball we’ve made this approach a little bit more difficult than we need it to be but we’ll give it a go a TI in hand oh dear thinned

It oh I think we could be in a world of trouble down there middle of the Heather as you’ll see in a second and we’ve got a tough little shot now here to get us back into position I’m aiming for like a just a seven ion punch

Through here there’s my up I just need to trust it just might need to sit honestly that was really nice it just flew a little bit too far but that was perfect pick my spot just little bit too much power it was I mean for direct for direction it was absolutely perfect

But yeah probably about 30 yards 30 yards too long ah kind of checked up on me didn’t it checked up it’s a shame because the connection was was okay not quite the power I think I think the line was good as it died it dropped off but I think

The line was good we’ll leave the pin in we saw it fall to the right a touch so we’ll give that some respect come on Dennis I mean yeah the less said the better the birdie Hall is surrounded by triple Bogies triple birdie triple who knows what I’m going to score next onto

The next hole right guys Hal number five we’ve got a par four not the longest not the shortest 380 yards the theme continues bunkers are plenty God in the Fairway I really lik what the drive done the last hole so we’re going to let the big dog eat come on Dennis oh my

God right down the middle right down the middle come on it’s not very often Boogie gol finds the Middle with two drives in a row let’s go 103 right we I mean it’s not often I find the Fairway with driver so I’m just hoping and praying we can capitalize

Here pin is at the front 103 I’m going to hit a sand wedge I mean it’s per it’s a perfect sand wedge number be long enough oh just a tad short few grooves on the high side but it was a great connection anyway we’ll be in a good

Place pins at the front so who knows we might even chip it in for birdie come on okay yeah like I said we came up short maybe Gap wge was the number um but it is what it is 54 in hand now need to just use those

Delicate hands here flick it on and then hopefully give us a nice look at par sit sit yeah ladies and gentlemen I am not grumbling with that maybe 5 six feet to save us apart come on first part on the scorecard would be huge after that

Triple did you notice the first time I didn’t take the pin out was when I had that horrendous horrendous put on the last so the pin is coming out every time I’m going to try and make that a Habit oh honestly that was a good part I just didn’t didn’t give didn’t give the break enough respect that was a good part I missed on the low side so that tells you a lot oh well good P happy with that and that’s a good bogy I feel

Like I played good golf all the way through that and that is what we’re striving for on to the next this ship is hopefully hopefully steadied right then people we’ve got a par three coming up a short one 125 yards I’ve got to the pin I do not

Want anything to do with the bunker short size so pitch and wedg it is oh no stay out the bunker please okay I think we’ve got away with it that might be on the green might be on the green not a good swing at all but we’ll take it no

Complaints from me so we’ve got quite quite the put here was down the hill so it’s going to be a snaky one slippery one and we’ve got easily 35 40 ft it’s undulating like crazy oh my goodness honestly standing here the whole green looks like it’s on the side of a

Mountain well that put went dead straight my green reading skills leave a little bit to be desired and I don’t have this doing anything at all so we’re going to go straight at it that was that was a very tentative and timid put and we’ve left ourself a little bit

More work than we wanted okay all right we’ll take we can live with three puts if it’s from off the green so we move on another bogey back toback Bogies I am more than happy with bogey golf is the goal in fact bogy go would be overachieving my current

Expectations and handicaps so on to the next let’s see if we can keep the boogy train rolling right guys Hall number seven now Par Four an absolute monster as well apologies for the car noise behind but we’re going to take driver oh stay short of the bunker

Please oh we cleared it ladies and gentlemen that’s a ball Co come on the driver has never felt so good come on if she can keep working for me this round we’ll be okay right I think we got a little bit too excited on the t- box I think I was

Just happy to make contact with the ball um we didn’t actually go that far we still got 202 yards to the middle so it was about a 200 yard Drive In the End um 210 yards little bit spinny maybe up in the wind who knows but yeah big old

Approach coming up now hybrid in hand the flag is just straight over this bunker on the right so let’s see what we can do here just Advance it down there oh that’s a great shot it’s going to be a little bit right I really like where that went wow

Wow the swing is feeling for the first time in month the swing is feeling nice I’m not slicing I’m not hooking the majority of my go shots are actually actually going straight which is music to my ears believe me right so we actually wound up a little bit short um

But I tell you what from 200 yards out if I’m missing the green by 10 yards we’ll be in a very very good place so yeah up and down would be enormous slightly short sided the green runs away from me so I’ll do well to to

Stop this within 10 ft but here we go I’ll give it a go oh that was lovely where the hell where the hell have I just got them soft mitts from I just I said it’d be hard to stop it within 10 ft I think

We’ve done it I think we’ve done it and that is a very very solid look at part on one of the toughest holes on the course so I am a very happy boy but the putter putter has got some work I think it’s a little bit little bit of left to

Right and up the hill here probably bang on 10 ft come on Dennis the perfect part but the read was off it went dead straight zero break whatsoever but honestly I am just I’m just so so pleased with how today’s going I was expecting the worst I I’ll happily put my hands up and say I was expecting the absolute worst

But the golf is actually golfing today a bogey on the scorecard on one of the tougher holes out there shame it didn’t drop for the PA but it is what it is we move we move right guys so hole number eight we’ve got a long paw three now

Playing about 195 to the middle absolute monster um I’m going to take four hybrid based off that last carry um this probably should be the club on another day I’d hit five iron but I think it’s because it’s a little bit cold nothing’s going quite as far today so here we go full

Hybrid let’s try and avoid those bunkers up there oh no that was bad bad swing but we avoided the bunkers we actually landed in we actually landed in quite a good spot there we came up short of that right bunker and skirted right so yeah

We’ve got a little bit of an up and down challenge up and down test but we stayed out the sand and that is the mission for today stay out those massive bunkers this is a tasty little position we found oursel in um tight lie be lie really um

Yeah strikes fear into into high hand handicappers Hearts this one here we go yep oh wow that rolled out way more than I thought it would that’s some that worked out really nice we’ve got another really good look at Park come on it’s actually the same put as last time I

Think it’s fairly straight again probably about 10 ft maybe less actually now that I’m standing up here it seems a little bit Closer come on wow what a PA up and down up and down can you guys tell I’ve been working on the short game huge over the bunker 20 yard chip huge fot Wow first part on the score card right guys hole number nine 12 14

On the course but nine for the video uh we’ve got another longish par 4 370 I think it’s what what you see is what you get slight dog left to the left um I’m going to I’m going to keep hitting driver um because it’s treating me quite nicely Today maybe draw down the middle how do you like them apples honestly I’ve said this so many times today that’s three out the middle three gold BS out the middle what can I say what can I say come on right found the middle of the Fairway I say

Middle we found the Fairway I sorry I can’t help myself I get a little bit too um over excited when I hit good t- shots doesn’t happen very often we’ve got 130 to the flag I’m going to hit pitching wedge there he is there he is no no no

No I thought it was going a little bit too well I haven’t fatted or thin many shots today but booger golf has arrived 83 yards to the middle here soft 54 yep that should be pretty perfect middle of the green yeah just to the right but I like that swing I really

Liked that swing good recovery shot relatively speaking of course always relatively speaking we’ve got about 30 yards 30 yards 30 ft 35 ft for the par tough P but I’ve got it fairly straight two put bogey oh wow wow that did a lot better than I expected if I’m honest um easy tapping

Now let’s not do anything stupid here yeah let’s go let’s go okay po bogey Bogies I could get used to this I could get used to this on to the next let’s just see if I can keep this pace going just come around you know you’re playing a good golf course when the

Boogy has the ball cleaner in and the glove cleaner I mean we are being looked after today it’s not very often we uh we get to play courses like this so yeah especially at my level believe me I’m not taking it for granted um just to be

Out here playing golf the fact that you guys are enjoying it is huge so yeah shout out to you guys all right hole number 10 and guys we’ve got a par four once again very similarity to the last one 369 yards dog leg to the

Left the line for me I think is straight over these bunkers I cannot believe how well driver is working for me Today oh dear we’ve skyed one straight I mean it was straight as you like but it was so skyed find it and hit it again I suppose find it and hit it again um I suppose I talk that one into existence Golden Rule never talk about how well your driver’s working

Because inevitably you get stung so anyway here we are we’re playing recovery now little bit fat but it’ll work yeah little bit on the fat side all of a sudden there’s a chill in the air starting to shiver again we’re in sweeping a feels like across from the

Left watch is say 91 to the middle the pin looks pretty middle to me so smooth 54 oh dear he shanked one I mean I C across that like no one’s business this hole isn’t really going to plan and another bit of bad bad look here really we can’t really go

Airborne so 60 yards I’ve got AI in just pitch it pitch it towards the flag is the plan simmer down simmer down nearly rolled into the bunker got the hot going that did all right I’m not sure I could have have done too much better from where I was I’m just this

Hole’s just scrambling so we’ve got this for the bogey two put double would be huge keep going oh dear just died on me didn’t it died on me I think the line was perfect I think the line was perfect right we’ll keep this pin in what Dennis what are you doing I mean

It wasn’t going in anyway but never stood a chance not with that speed and that is the worst put in display of the day and that’s a triple bogey there’s a blast from the past a triple bogey back on the score card and it’s normally this part of the round if

You watch my videos where I tend to collapse so yeah stay tuned and find out that I am determined to fight those demons because we’re scoring okay so let’s just steady the ship once again we need to steady the ship right guys halt number 11 short par 4 driver gets me

Into trouble with the bunkers so we’re going to hit a five in here come on middle of the Fairway oh my God that might be the goh swing of the day baby draw down the middle let’s go find didn’t hit it again that was an absolute Peach not had a put for birdie in a while let’s see if we can do it we’ve got about 120 middle wind off the

Right pitch and wedges the weapon of choice oh that is on it be the number I mean we’re on we’re on but it’s front edge right we have asked him we asked and uh we delivered we’ve got a birdie put it’s a hell of a long birdie put um but we’ll take

It I think we had the Speed oh wow still going deceiving green it looks downhill but it was must have been really downhill it’s one of those ones I don’t know whether to be happy or annoyed about that one we’ve got so much work

Now left but we were at the We Were Far Side of the green so it’s almost like what was I expecting but we’ got to look for par uphill I think it’s going to fall to the right definitely had the line 100% had the line oh little bit

Tentative but it’s a bogey and on the back of a triple bogey I said it goes one of two ways and the bogey is exactly what we needed there on to the next come on let’s keep it rolling right guys we’ve got a par five I feel like I’ve

Not said that much today but yeah we’ve got a par five the watch is saying 492 yards assuming it’s straight now I’m not sure exactly what the shape of this hole is but it looks pretty straight to me so I’m hitting driver split the Fairway bunkers here and hopefully give us a

Good look at maybe not attacking the green but a good layup right this is where you kind of get away with it I mean I sprayed that so far to the right but because it’s a par five hopefully if the angle’s favorable we can still get back into

Position here I must admit I do like a par five right so we as you can until we found out we wound out here in the right roof still a hell of a long way to go I’m going to hit four hybrid and just basically get us back into position if I

Can hug the left side of that tree that would be perfect oh it’s aggressive okay we might actually get away with it because the hole does go around that side um I guess sometimes playing the cause blind plays in our favor sometimes it doesn’t from there the angle looked ridiculously right with

My Slice on that last shot but actually because it’s a dog leg right we must have hit one of these branches on the edge and actually we’re not far off the Fairway so we’ll take our look where we can get it people here we go come on let’s commit to

It that’s a lovely swing oh we take that that’s yeah I’m uh every now and then I’m lost to words that was a lovely swing you know you’re get in the compression when you get a little bit of back zip all two feet of it but I am not

Complaining not complaining one bit been a little bit weid with my um approach shots today but this one is one to be proud of so here we go so we one two three four we’ve got this for our birdie wow okay that’s a lovely pot lovely pot no need

To take the pin out for this one stress free par that’s huge that is that’s amazing every now and then when you play a hole to par we play the hole almost the way it was designed five easy Strokes easy game isn’t it golf really right guys hole number 18 so that

Means we’re on hole number 13 for the video if my mask is Right long par 4 430 430 yards so it’s a long old Beast good t- shot is almost almost a prerequisite here oh that was way out the heel sit down okay yeah that was all almost a hle

Shank that one but it’s in play it’s in play right we play the cards with d unfortunately it’s now a get on the green and three situation um I’m going to just take a 7 iron here we’ve got a long ways to go to the green so 7 iron

Get us back in position and then we can attack and hopefully get up and down for par I don’t need to say anything I don’t need need to say a word 2:15 to the middle it’s time for the debut three-wood is coming out for the first time in the

Round I think we can miss right right looks okay I think left is another Fairway so yeah we’re going to trust this one open it up and let’s see what we can do oh my God go go oh what a hit what a hit that’s come

Up short but that was on the pin the whole way right here we go so great effort I mean with three wood in my world that’s unbelievable just came up a little bit short pitching wedge bump now um up and down bogy would be huge would

Be enormous up and down bogy would be enormous oh I fed it chunked it oh well at least we put in at least for putting it hurts a little bit less when you’re on the green on the putting surface but that was not very good so now we’re staring down the

Barrel of a Double bogy T put unfortunately oh just for one moment just for one moment I thought we drained that people nothing stupid thank God none of you saw that backstroke it was I was basically drawing in a u- shape awful scenes oh absolute stinker this game

Brings you up and spits you back out just as quickly triple bogey once again on the scorecard but whole 14 for the video um howling into win now I think and uh yeah you’ll see the next the last few remaining holes are very much more link Style no trees lots of big Fairway

Bunkers oh my God that was middle middled and I think we might be in the bunker I struck that so sweet but you could just see it it went so high and I think it probably came backwards by the end of it but wow that felt good that

Felt really really good I hope we are not in a bunker after that drive okay right unfortunately um yeah the wind killed that the the holes you saw before are kind of almost like Parkland based still heathland course but the trees are just blocking the wind now in these last

Few holes we’re in the open and it’s absolutely blowing sand wedge in hand hopefully just pick it out clean yeah lovely yeah we’ll take that that will work nice full gap wedge that went so high so high and I just knew it the more time it spends up

There she getting blown back maybe false front here we go a lot of work left and this green does all sorts honestly that’s a great effort that’s a that I’m I’m just as surprised as you are to be honest if anything right to left so let’s not miss it on the low side

360 round the cup but no grumbles for me that’s a big bogy save that’s a huge two put off the green by the way on to the next right hole 15 hole two on the course we’ve got a monster we’ve got about four about 500 Yard part five dog

Leg to the right by the looks of things so we want this driver to sort of split those bunkers come on wind come on wind I it’s a hell of a drive but what was into wind was I was expecting to come to the from the left so didn’t wind

Wind didn’t really do too much that was on a rope that one right we’re going to hit a six the Green’s way too far 276 so I’m going to hit a 6 iron we just caught up in the roof here that bunker is 200 so six iron should shouldn’t really bring

Anything into danger so dead aim of that bunker really yeah good strike Club face a touch open but yeah on The Fairway come on good chance to get green and R here come on 96 96 yards okay what’s the wind doing so wind’s coming across yeah I mean it’s a

54 pins pretty front yeah come on Dennis full 54 committed no we have fatted a lot of Swings with this club today not good not good left ourself with a little bit of a soft M check nice and soft that’s a little bit too soft a do you know what that was

Lovely oh yeah that’s just that’s just on me the swing was perfect that was just all on me tried to be a little bit too delicate the camera probably won’t pick this up but these greens on this back stretch are insane it’s like the Himalayas up here

So let’s see what we can do it’s going to fall left to right let’s not give oursel too much work for the again just for a split second I thought that might just have a little sneaky Chance oh the flat stick what was so trusty at the start of the round is letting me down a little bit there if I’m m is right that’s a seven double bogey which is a shame because the t- shot and the the t-shot and the iron which arguably the hardest part went so

Well and then the wedges the wedges let me down anyway we move double bogy I think we’re 20 over par now which is kind of kind of all right this course the rating for this course is actually quite difficult so we’re scoring okay but I would love to come in the

Backstretch with Bogies only as the worst scores right hold number 16 we’ve got a par for dog leg to the left it’s a bit it’s difficult to pick the Align here because I’m hitting driver I’m going to sort of between the bunkers and where you can see the the

Heath starting to grow out I think that is my line and if I hit a good one we should carry that no no problem oh my God every now and then I actually hit my line and it feels so good middle of the Fairway I Think come on this trixon wow I am this thing is just swinging I’m just swinging this thing the wind nicely and do just be long enough yes come on come on right 3 hours later this sun decides to come out uh still absolutely freezing never mind but

We’ll take it okay we’ve got a look for birdie here see it woohoo didn’t give the hill quite as much respect as it needed but we’ve got a look for p cannot ask for more cannot ask for more four five ft that’s an nous Greening rag Fairway found two foot

Tick tick tick onto the next two holes to go people right guys here we are hole number 17 we’ve got a long Par Four again7 to the back 180 to the middle wind off the left hard um I’m going to hit a four hybrid because I don’t think

I’ve got got it in me with this temperature to belong oh not quite baby it’s going to be right at the bunker I think oh I think it would have been really good for yardage really good for yardage it’s about pin high but it’s just in

That little bit of light Heather on the right so we’ve got a little pitch on here into the wind let’s see how close we can stick this oh yeah that’s lovely that is very nice 5 six feet for par come on I don’t see a lot in this again we’ve got a

Sniff at par it’s all we wanted Dennis chill out man wow wow okay all right we’ll take a bogey we’ll take a bogey um yeah that first fo had me worried racing past but yeah Big bogey save another two puts so there’s something to celebrate one hole to go

Guys and the score card is looking very very promising if we can hold our nerve on the last absolutely freezing once again we’re open to the elements on these holes here we go last hole um par five dog leg to the left um big old boy lots

Of bunkers let’s keep it nice and simple I’m aiming at the bunkers on the right and the wind howling across us from the right I should bring it back into play uh yeah just sit down now but it’s one of those ones you didn’t sit down so we have to find him

But he looked really good we thin it right we’re just going to play smart from this point on I’m going to hit an A in it’s 204 to the middle but it’s up on a hill so going to lay up and then just uh try and get a

Bogey or maybe even a PA from there we’ll see what am I doing here on the last hole right we need a worldly approach we need a worldly approach here for our fourth apologies for the glare we’re shooting into the sunun here we’ve got about 130 out I’m going to hit a 99

Again Club up to give us a better chance oh an attack we have it’s a lovely swing yeah lovely on the green for sure that was a lovely swing every now and then they come out the locker right we actually wound up long from there it was

Impossible to see I guess the wind was helping us so yeah we’ve ended up carrying about 150 55 with the nine there so pitching Wes maybe the number but we’re putting that’s it oh yes okay yeah no I’m happy with that right this to end the round and to close out with a

Bogey oh what a way to close out the video a double bogey so I’m just tallying up the score and we actually shot 23 overpar so that is a 94 here at a par 71 course so we broke 95 people the Target today was breaking 100 so yeah above expectations but yeah once

Again thank you for wittington Heath for having us check them out what a place especially in these conditions until next time Peace
