Well that round was interesting……

Freshwater Bay Golf Club situated on the Isle of Wight is truly one of the most scenic golf courses in the UK!

From playing golf on top of a cliff to having breath taking views on every hole! It’s truly an honour to go play this course any time of year and take in the views around you.

This is my first qualifier that will be going against my Handicap for 2025.

Alot of new subscribers here that have doubted the +6 Handicap so I wanted to test myself out on the links course.

The temperature was low and conditons were very far from easy. I stated after a couple of holes “If I shoot level par today I will be buzzing!”

I hope you all enjoy this fun round of golf, let me know what you want to see next in the COMMENT section below.

  1. 1:47 hdcp system adjusts depending on scores entered that day. So if scores are on average 15% higher than normal for example, it will make an adjustment the next day when it updates. Not sure the exact amount or exactly when it gets applied
    Edit* looked it up and it’s called a Playing Conditions Calculation (PCC)

  2. Great video, great golf and spectacular views. You stopped sticking to the FDP and putting from the 12th. Few tap in putts you didn’t mark 😮

  3. Hard time of year to play a GS round, longer into most greens by a couple of clubs, lots of low handicap golfers protect their handicap in the winter and never enter comps

  4. If you don’t think oddy is +6 you’re just a hater. Looking forward to the match against Wiltshire

  5. Don’t know if it was his the mic was positioned, but the sound of your breathing was really loud.

  6. Seeing some progress last couple of months. Looking very solid with that free swing. Keep at it!

  7. I can’t be the only American who hears free every time he says three?? I love the videos. And wife loves how you say naughty. Not a typical American saying.. 😂

  8. I am a little confused, you cant play alone and post your scorecard and have it count twards your handicap.
    you have to play with another person so he can sign your scorecard for it to count.
    am i missing something?
    if i posted my solo-scorecards i could chose to be a scratch player no?

    no hate by the way, im actually wondering.
    i have been watching your videos non stop since i found you last week! good down to earth golf-content! 😀

  9. I don't see how the old handicap system adjusted conditions. It is the same now in tournaments. Non tournament rounds don't get adjusted for tournament day results, same as before.

  10. If people can’t tell from the ball striking and short game that you’re better than scratch they just don’t understand golf

  11. Hi Josh, I'm a new subscriber to your channel after I stumbled across one of your videos yesterday and some of the shots you played were unreal. I agree on not being a big fan of the new handicap system too. My current handicap is 8.4 on the new system. off the tee I'm a longer hitter and straight the majority of time. My iron play is by far the best part of my game, 230 yards down to 90 yards I am more than happy and confident I can hit a green or put the ball where I want it. Putting I'm happy with too, worked on it a lot over the last year and its at a place where I want it to be. my biggest problem is between my 90 yard boundary and up to around the 30 yard mark. I can thin, fat, even throw in some Tom Hanks within these distances. I genuinely hate it. Could you do a video on shots these sorts of distances, how to approach them, setup etc? I'm sure I`m not the only person who could do with help here 😀 Cheers bud, keep the awesome videos coming.

  12. Brilliant work.

    How long have you been playing the oversized grips? How’d that come about in your setup?

  13. Been watching for a couple of weeks and what a channel and what a man you are, just wanted to ask you a question Josh, I’m brand new to golf only been playing a few months and getting so close to breaking 100. Best score (105), what tips would you give to a high handicapper trying to break 100!

  14. You’re a good golfer. But you are not a plus 6. You’re not on the walker cup team which is +3/+4 handicap so where is this +6 coming from? Rory Mcilroy wasn’t even +6 when he turned pro ffs 😂

  15. Who are they kidding ? The guy shots 160y with a 9 iron , in winter and he pretends he's a 6 hcp big LOOOOOOOOOL

  16. I think some people get hung up on this + handicap lark … let’s face it, a good golfer is a good golfer and it’s self evident when you’re watching them.. everyone has good and not so good rounds but the eyes don’t deceive clearly a very talented golfer whatever the handicap and that should be appreciated by anyone who plays and knows the trials of this game .. we’ll played mate great video ✊🏻

  17. Hi josh, enjoyed watching you play the course, I saw you on 18 this Monday and said I would tune in,people that don't know the course can't understand how difficult it is up there, well done

  18. The white course is 122 slope (easy) and par 68.9
    As a +6 you would be expected to shoot 63 once in five tries (your other four tries could be 80…does not matter since hcp ghin only uses your best scores).
