What real 13.4 Handicap looks like [Every Shot] Bowood Golf resort and spa

hello YouTube how are you doing i am down at Bowwood Resort Golf and Spa come down here for the weekend actually wife’s having a spa and we’re having some golf me and Ben ben was in the Portugal vlogs uh especially in Umbra so if you watched Ombra you will might recognize him but just doing a solo vlog today and my handicap is creeping up guys it’s up to 13.4 and today I am losing an 8.2 from my EG this is a tough course it’s got me playing off 16 i am going out there and I’m going to try and concentrate but it is actually really windy and a bit fresh today so that’s going to make things a bit trickier but it’s just me and Ben out there and I’m going to try my damnedest to concentrate we’re not playing match play we’re just going to be playing golf so solid golf going to try and break 85 break 85 put another good score in because I’m losing the 8.2 need to put another good score in to try and get my handicap down wish me luck you are going on a run right i reckon they’ve swapped these nines around the last time I played it the first was a par five over there and this was 10 so yeah now it’s the first 400 yard par4 it’s going to have to be driver this course is lengthy from memory so it’s going to be a day of if the driver works we might score well breaking 85 it’s past 72 13 over that would be a real good score with how my handicap’s going at the moment this is uh really windy it is blowing a hulie out here just keep the ball in play wind is off the right started down the right turn right to left at the moment I would say [Music] it can’t happen big kick left there’s a bunker down the right hand side hopefully it’s not gone in that’s a fair shot like that okay I feel like I’ve been a little got a little bit unlucky there i got 144 yards to the middle of the green this is silly i’m going seven iron i just need to get this out but with a seven iron it could could sneak there see what happens eh left big left okay i’m I mean missing left with that front pin does give me a little bit of chance of getting up and down oh that was unlucky thank you Ben okay I’ve just crept into the blue bell wood here have I got room over this bunker so the bunker ends here i could come a little bit left of it and roll down in so I think that’s the play for sure i’m just going to try and fly this bit left of the flag you probably can’t see it but there’s a little house over there be a bit committed with it 40 yards to middle it’s just on the edge of these blue bells feel bad about these blue bells protected species don’t you know oh no that’s not left enough that’s going to be in the bunker ah crap not a good start to the break 85 should have been much more committed to that i just wanted it to sort of fall down the hill and roll in but fell down the hill and rolled in the wrong hole which we are about to find out now there it is people there it is bunker feels nice and soft open the club face aim quite left big splash of sand fiddlesticks that is horrendous line now not good one two left three in the bunker four in the bunker five out five out break 85 has not started well for me damage limitation let’s get up and down here little pitching wedge chip it close so it’s probably all downhill most of the way set this out sort of 40% of the way poorly judged misread misread so this is my seven i was one two left three in the bunker four five out of the bunker six to here this is for a triple to start off my epic quest of breaking 85 oh dear four over when I’m only planning to be 13 over then is not a good start okay we got 185 yard par three bunker short right yellow flags middle of the green wind is into left to right i’m going to start this at the flag and it should just draw off it and the wind may then straighten the ball up let’s see a weird noise oh just carried the bunker just sort of left in a little hollow there may up and down from there okay I’ve ended up in not a bad spot here got a pitching wedge it’s on a bit of an up slope i’ got plenty of green to work with i mean it rolled out quite well on the last hole so again just land this on the just beyond the fringe and then hopefully it’s going to release to the hole oh that’s gone a bit further than I wanted but it’s worked out really nice par putt all right this is to start a par run lovely that’s up and down for the par four over through two feels a lot better than four over through one okay we’ve got a lovely lovely sweeping par five here it’s 490 yards it’s going downhill and then sweeps up round to the right that’s like a green oh yeah there’s a big long bunker that covers the whole front side of like a raised green area again the wind’s still coming off the right straight across us started down the the right edge and the wind will help it come back especially with my shot shape bit of a low one but a bit of a runner that’s fine he’s running running down the hill bottom of the valley nothing wrong with that okay so I’ve still got 2 like 50 yards to the green yeah um it’s about 220 to go into the bunker green side so I’m just a four iron here to roughly go 200 yards but even if it comes up short then that’s absolutely fine it’s par five straight out there the flag is a white flag and it’s tucked over to the back right it looks like so I’m just playing for position here hopefully leaving a nice sensible up and down for a birdie that’d be nice bit of a thin one but he’s moving in the right direction and that’s all that matters lovely quite sensible I would say right I’ve got um 75 yards to middle here so I got 56° which carries about 80 That is well into wind but still I’m just going to play a full one of these should be on the green picked up nice little bit left of the flag should be okay should be okay right a birdie putt but it’s from a fair old way two putts here i would take a path for sure sit sit these are the putts that count keep the run going make a par and build on it back into the hill or into the grain should we say big old whiffy putt that was bogey six five over through three backto back par five this is a long sweeping par five round to the right hand side you got two bunkers in the fairway here which are really well positioned the one on the right is about I think it’s actually about 230 to carry it then you got one on the left which is there to pick up any draws that you’re going to overdraw into it which sounds familiar i’m gonna start mine sort of just left of these trees on the right hand side and hopefully just carry over this first bunker is the plan it’s a bit brave but I’m feeling brave it’s a good hit has it got the legs no straight in the dick really was oh man that was only carried like 220 gone straight in there dang it got another like really annoying lie i’m even I’ve even got the back of the of that to contend with okay all right seven iron i think that’s a silly play let’s go eight let’s go eight oh yeah short club eight iron just trying to flick it out of the bunker ben’s in a nice position if I get anywhere near Ben that’d be lovely oh what a good pickup very pleased with myself well done me couple of crappy bunker lies I’ve had there still in play down a fairway lovely jobly okay this is an absolute cracking hole i’ve still got 230 yards to the green which is carry all over that water which is very tempting but I said earlier I was going to play sensibly now the bunker’s already got me in trouble so I’m just going to go sixiron down the left side of this fairway away from the water should leave me with like 70 yards in and then try and get up and down that would be amazing but even if we get a bogey on this hole so be it take my punishment after going in the bunker six iron in slightly closer to the water than I would have liked but it’s absolutely fine straight down there was actually gone quite far well done me i got 60 yards to the middle so I’m going to play it middle even though it’s a yellow flag it looks back just play the middle of the green going to go straight out the pin but just middle yardage oh lovely lovely little bit of zazz and that’s with a stricks and soft feel youtube spinny a little bit right to left parly downhill maybe nice to sneak a part drop down it was downhill for sure it’s a six it’s a bogey with the bunker as what was expected still shame right we’ve got a 344 yard little dog leg left sort of funnels through we got bunkers right and left hand side i’m going to take driver to hopefully take the bunkers out of play but I don’t hit the ball as far as what I think so but we can try we can try get a good driver down through the middle of the valley and then a little little wedge shot on hopefully kick right a little bit did that go in oh these bunkers are placed very nicely today dang it okay I’ve got 127 yards into this flag actually it’s not a terrible place to be but the bunker is a bit sort of sandy uh I got an eight iron funny green this cuz it’s like a diagonal from right to left even though it’s a white flag the real back of the green would be like sort of top left i got an eight iron this is really nine iron yardage but I’m just thinking out of the bunker and into wind we’ll go eight stud on the flag stick always going to come out a bit heavy the the way the bunker is sort of was mounted up around the ball so I had to get through it but it’s in play so this is actually a shared green so the bunker runs all the way through there there’s our white flag that we’re playing at and then the yellow flag is over there on the left so when I thought it was a big diagonal green it’s it’s not it’s two greens essentially um and here I am on an ups slope which is nice 50 yards to middle yeah 46 nice shot Ben 50 yards to middle on an up slope so it’s going to come out high it should land quite soft really be good land soft didn’t land soft at all rolled off the back just saying to Ben this is all downhill past the flag where it sort of goes dark green it’s actually all just runs away from the flag stick so where I was hoping it would land soft it did not surely that means I can be a little bit aggressive on the way back little pitching wedge and uh I’m just going to chip this in I think didn’t quite go in yes Ben thank you p it was a par yeah brilliant well done Ben good par they’re all good pars don’t know what they look like save a [Music] bogey saved a bogey path three slightly down right to left right to left and it’s cross cross us a little bit into I’m going four iron it’s 73 to the flag stick it’s only just on the green a little four iron in there should chase up space right though so I’m going to go right favor the right side say wind’s coming off the right now which is weird cuz I’m pretty sure it was off the other way earlier turn contours should help as well oh no it went straight now it’s coming in don’t think it’s got the legs to get anywhere near it though bit of a crap shot actually this break 85 plan is not working very well pitching wedge is slightly on the up slope just get it on it looks like it’s down grain ben’s rolled out nicely so just get this on and it should roll towards the flag little bit closed on the old club face there oh yes great park Ben for the par oh another bogey back to back bars Ben well done sir yeah not me ah another bogey it’s just bogey golf at the moment i need to get a run together right we’ve got 368 yard path four and actually this is a really clever hole you got like bunkers right up through the middle of it bunker right bunker left i’m going to start winds off the right i’m going to start mine at the bunker on the right for it to draw back and hopefully it’ll just be in that little gap in between them all oh it’s towy one please carry the first bunker he’s chasing down did I sneak into the air on the middle and not get that far i think he’s safe right i got 135 yards here i think the wind is a little bit down i’ve got an eight iron flag is front right of the green here nipped it nice come by come by just all right on the right hand side of the green thank you okay I’ve just ended up just on the like the cut from the first cut to the to the fringe if you will a little pitching wedge just onto the back of the ball just get it rolling towards green this green is covered in leafy debris stuff pitching wedge in hand should have had a flag out shouldn’t I yeah yeah oh man i still stick by it that is in the hole if the flag’s not in the in there i know you wouldn’t have it out normally for that but still there we are jumping apart come on come on come on good line with the power part left edge or left half of the cup in she goes it definitely slides right though it does lovely nice to have a par yay this is a lovely dog leg par 4 this is a good 400 y about 230 to go into that bunker down in the middle of the fairway um I’m playing a hybrid 200 yards out to the right and it leaves a long iron in but from memory this is a tricky tough hole even the approach is tough so just keep the ball in play here that is left with an absolute monstrous shot into the green it’s safe and it’s on the fairway but it’s a long way in from there okay so I’ve got 200 yards to the green here you can’t see the flag it’s tough it’s straight over the middle of this bunker the flag is tucked over the yellow on the left hand side um you can see this light green tree that’s going to be my line taking a hybrid that’ll be lovely get some bounce in that was worth the wait oh how annoying i didn’t realize um it sort of sloped so much left after where I’d knobbled the ball that it’s actually raced all the way down the hill and into the water which is great i got 110 yards left taking my drop pitching wedge in hand the more loft you have the more it turns left so I’m going to start this right out on the right hand side of the green choked right down because the ball’s above my feet nice pick up got to go of it though oh my come on get a kick off that slope oo okay hit that well I’ve ended up here just going to be starting to like try and play to my handicap at a minute because that would be good i’m on 13 points this is the hardest hole on the golf course right 52° balls going away from me i just land this in the shadows and then there’s a tear down the hill it’s a little bit of a crap hit but I’m going to get away with that don’t mind hitting crap ones to within the flag stick thank you oh great effort for the six hole’s looking nice and big and white up the hill in she goes thank you right we got 370 yard path forward do leg right through like mounded fairways bunkers left right and sort of long left long left is at about 240 i’m going fivewood here and offering myself slightly to the right hand side i could do if you’re drawing there’s a bunker right there straight in it hell i have hit some bunkers today jesus oh man i don’t feel like I’m playing badly today well I found another bunker i have I don’t feel like I’m playing badly i’m hitting nice shots i’m just fine in the bunkers which is obviously issues it’s too much of a lip on this this is just a Get it get it out just get it out got like 130 in but to the front edge flags at the front for me this is just a sand wedge nip this get this out of the bunker then try and get up and down okay moving forwards not sure anyone else has been in bunkers today that looks like no one’s used this rake straight down wind is 80 yards to the flag stick i’d like to hit a 56 you know but I’ve got 52 in hand yeah I’m going to play 52 doesn’t matter if you go over the flag stick does it we can just pat back one two three ball slightly above my feet so start it slightly right at the flag oh it’s a nipped one kick right left even oh it’s gone over the back oh booger golf is hard yeah it was a bit thin okay this is all downhill to the flag i got a pitching wedge just going to set it down sort of 40% of the way or 30% of the way and let it roll down yeah 30% 30 70 that needs to sit now was a bit aggressive of that a wee bit aggressive bogey pat up the hill stay up just turned off okay nine holes done nine holes done let’s have a quick look at the scorecard see where we’re at i mean break 85 i think that’s gone she long gone okay people that’s the end of the front nine and 12 overgrowth 12 overgrowth so I’ve got one more shot until I hit that 85 so let’s go let’s uh p my way in i could bow you on somewhere um yeah not great although I’m not playing I don’t feel like I’m playing badly i’ve not hit many bad shots just been in poor bunkers really positioned well is that a bad shot choice comment below is that what I’m doing wrong just hitting shots that are going in the bunkers if I laid back from a bunker and had a longer shot in would I be in a better position maybe maybe but scorewise I went eight was obviously a blob on the first so pointwise for my actual handicap we went three points four five 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 so on 15 points through the front nine which yeah okay it’s not great but little par run on the back and a little birdie somewhere and handicap wise I’d be back in it so all is not lost we keep going got a whole another nine holes we could we could par way in let’s let’s look at it guys i’ve had a two over nine before so let’s do it again now break 85 let’s go 550 yard par five bunker left bunker right so the bunker right i can’t I shouldn’t be able to go in with my driver bunker left if I turn it around that corner I could go in so this is a perfect example should I be laying up short of that bunker left as it’s par five or do I take driver and just hit down the gap that’s what I’m going to do not been hitting it bad we’re in the wind as well so I could probably just go out that right bunker we should be fine stay up oh god it’s really short oh god it’s gone in the bunker on the left that was crap that was so crap hell another bunker found okay again another bunker found i mean this was just a crap shot so it’s not down to poor positioning uh but I’ve got nothing so I’ve just got to take it sit 56° the wedge is the that edge is so high can’t really get it advancing so try and nip this nearly got me and now I got a fried egg he’s out he’s out it’s not good golf but he’s out okay I still got 300 yards so taking a hybrid bunker on the right is 220 yards away this shouldn’t go in the bunker if I push it a bit right we’re gonna start on that right to come back lovely straight down the middle offering myself to the left hand side a little bit which actually that’s gone really far bunker on the right might not be 220 that was a bit short than that i was absolutely right that bunker on the right was 220 so my hybrid’s come up just short of it which is ideal 125 middle of the green into wind 115 yards front edge i’m going nine iron there that’s my nine iron yardage um is 125 carry straight into wind should be on the front edge worst case oh that is a stinking shot tugged it so much it’s in the bunker that was just awful ball’s a little bit above my feet and I just come through and just feel myself just like finishing over here should be finishing out there what a practice makes perfect here we are again getting plenty of bunker play today right plenty of green to work with be aggressive splash this out inch behind the ball open club face low hands it’s out it’s out try and not drop the head because you know we’re still out having a nice day at golf aren’t we you know 56 still got 56 on the uphill slope be aggressive cuz it’s a little bit woolly should come out high i can do them all right i can do them all right was very much struggling to get out of bunkers today but I got to put that one in the bunker two still in the bunker three out four down here five in the bunker six just out seven on i put for eight get in i’m putting for the eight and only be two over my 85 of my par way my way in totally doable i agree one P pattern’s been good dear oh dear well it’s another up and down it’s a 350 yard dog leg right nice elevated tea box down the hill i’m just going four iron straight that bunker shouldn’t go in the bunker from this four iron overturning it a bit now just getting a bit whippy who put that bunker there didn’t even Didn’t even register as a bunker on the left oh dear i’ve got I’m just too close to this lip i can’t really go at it i’m going to go nine iron just to try and squeeze it out b it down another tug left oh you are joking thank god it’s going straight in that other bunker okay 102 yards to middle 85 yards to the front edge i’ve got a 52°ree here just be committed with this nice easy strike straight down the flag six all in front of me terrible pickup little bit claggy here big pull as well i’m just sort of whipping around my body not very good at the moment yeah struggling a bit absolutely struggling uh the 85 is definitely not on the cards i feel like I’ve been playing well lately i feel like I’ve been playing a day the course is beating me up here’s a top course number one ranked in Wiltshire course is in pretty good condition reckon it gets a bit boggy out here in the winter because it feels a bit claggy under foot but um still good uh yeah just not quite getting it going at the moment so the fact my handicap is going to jump up after today it’s probably right um will hopefully keep me a bit more competitive in the future my handicap’s probably going higher than Sam’s ladies and gentlemen next vlog he might be giving me shots fun still objective has changed for today now be just trying to get in my handicap 16 over is the goal it’s hard to see on camera but this is like a downhill lie here goes downhill and then back up and then to there so I’ve just got an eight iron i’m just going to bump it into the bank in front of us and let it roll up the hill to the flag what’s this for one in the bunker two out of the bunker afraid of it pin let’s go c that’s rolled more than I was expecting i was pretty happy with the execution little bit of left to right left half of the cup uphill save the bogey another one another up and down all right 140 yard par three uphill quite significant at least a club uphill back flag as well i’m going seven iron get it up there that’s getting a bit silly now those big lefts that is really far away left h we’ll figure that out quick okay this is a really tough shot is I’ve got a line on the flag anything right goes off to where Ben is um so I’ve got an eight iron again a little bump you can sort of bump it over this hill and I’m hoping it’s just going to kick it left to then release on but see what happens eh no I’ve overcooked it and now it’s gone okay I might get up and down from there though oh no he ain’t getting up [Laughter] there oh that is a gutter this is uh the flag is only just over the lip of the tier to be fair and you got to whack this to get it up there i got a putter going all the way through the fringe and up give it a big old whack make sure it’s up there he’s out there packed for four he’s done it again he’s done it again everybody oh Ben there’s a tough tear that see if I can have another one putt just over four nice and big uphill right edge there it is there it is another four yes well done yeah is that a four or a five five with a four putt so this is SI2 13th hole 402 yards i’m going to start this over the bunker on the left um it’s about 210 yards to carry it actually I’m gonna start it on that crooly tree little sort of dead haunted tree in the distance oh off there’s such i think we all know where that’s ending [Music] [Laughter] up hell [Music] hell bull i’m just not hitting the ball very well great news guys i’m not in the bunker this fluffy grass has managed to hold my ball up uh there’s a bunker down there about 160 yards i’ve just got an eight iron i’m just going to advance the ball advance the ball ball’s well beneath my feet i’m wondering whether I’m looking at the ball or not so the next few shots I’m happy with that that’s fine next few shots I’m just going to stay down on the ball see what happens this is a massive green this it’s like 60 a nice shot Ben really good shot it’s like 67 yards to the front edge and 167 yards to the back it’s like 32 yard green uh flag is at the front i’m taking a 56 which carries 80 i’m just going to go full 56 um should just be down the flag stick bunkers i deserve that one though i deserve that one let’s hope for a real strong finish then right big old lip just going to I’m just going to dig on this real hard is the right play it’s out isn’t it got a few that have stayed in today so that one’s out happy days okie dokie a lot of uh lot of ground in front of me eight iron little bump and it goes up a tier in front of the green and then rolls out to the flag it’s a little eight iron bump here go on nearly crept on i need a bit more if there was ever a time for another one putt it is now to save a six six gets a point so don’t leave it short wayne left short still good pop dear oh dear zoo what do you mean five very good very good annoying seven for me 345 yard par four sweeps round to the right hand side we were just saying like I was trying to think of a club to take to not go in the bunkers but there’s so many there’s one left one right one left corner and they sort of go long ways along the edge of the hole so like Ben rightly says ball could go in a club could go in any of the bunkers so I’m going driver and I’m just worried that if I actually catch one I’ll go up behind them so right through that gap eye on the ball better think I like that i think I might have avoided bunkers ben I don’t want to speak too soon but brilliant thank you Ben said there is one beyond it thank you much appreciated i have got 90 yards to the middle of the green really happy with that drive nice to get away um I got 56° it’s only 67 yards to the front edge so all of this gets us on between between the front edge and the and the flag nice pick up nice it’s like pin eye played two golf shots come on a birdie chance i think this might be my first green and rag par five that I parred earlier that was a green and wreck on the front nine the fourth hole my second green and rag well done mate good goal for that all right this has to turn left to right early doors and then he’s going to straighten up at the flag sit lovely four yay p my way in now thank you yes lovely five job oh yeah the [Laughter] camera 550 yard 15 yard par five dog leg right so there’s a bunker down there at 250 yards i’m taking a fivewood and hopefully hitting it out of that bunker i mean the amount the amount of balls that have gone in bunkers it should go straight at it straight out that bunker and then that leaves us with a long way in but it’s a free shooter so happy days bit left but that’s fine just down towards that back corner which is absolutely fine over there nice and safe okay I’ve actually ended up being in a really nice spot down here on the left hand side in this back corner sort of got the whole hole in front of me which was a nice place to be i still got 300 yards though so I’m going to go with like a five iron it’s uphill it should be all good leave me sort of like 120 in 130 in bit of a skinny one but a low runny turny chaser absolutely fine don’t hate that at all got 125 yards here uh to the middle of the green sort of facing white flag slightly at the back i’m going nine iron straight down wind as well eyes on the ball that helps ball’s slightly above my feet b it turned it left so crap at golf that’s why the handicap’s sailing on up it’s really not that bad i know I was annoyed at the shot but it should be better than this here we are 56° on the up slope it’s going to come out lofted um and it’s on the ups slope there’s like a little hill just in front of the flag so I can play this a bit aggressive it’s in the window went right underneath it probably wrong club there just went right underneath it this hole a got an outrageous little tear in front of the front of the flag and the flag’s only just up the top of the tier i’m going to play this up should break left to right as it goes up the hill be a bit firm with it then it slopes away to the back of the green again and go a bit more at the flag I think go on go on okay it’s okay all right this is from a six doesn’t feel like I’ve even played it that badly and yet I’m scrambling for a six it’s in lucky hit the hole that would have been gone okay tough hole this one si4 415 yards and it’s like uphill dog leg left you got a bunker top right bunker bottom left um I’m going to go out the bunker top right because I like going in bunkers come on get up keep running yeah I think that snuck over didn’t it phew oh no anxiety no bunker anxiety here okay managed to just sneak over this bunker but I’m not in the greatest of lies balls above my feet 200 ys to the middle of the green i got four iron in hand it sort of goes down so I feel like it’s going to chase in this gets to be a bit of a runner start it a bit right draw it back they didn’t hear that did they there we go turned left well lo and behold here I am again in another bunker i didn’t even realize this bunker was here spotred out right and it just stayed out right ended up in a nice spot pin eye but I’m up against this lip just got to come out elevated again right can be speedy with it big old flop out well popped it up i needed to pop up quick 56° ideally I’d like a little bit less loft but I can’t bother to go get my clubs that’s all right oh dear right it has to have a bit of left to right on it feel like it’s coming across a hill for the bogey yay putting has been silly today okay easiest hole in the golf course 13 145 yard par three slightly uphill playing downwind though I’m going seven iron straight at the flag six just go middle of the green take the bunkers out of play is the plan see that left miles left or green all right not in a bunker is what we’re saying that’s the main Do you know what i got really lucky there i know I said seven iron but I actually took an eight so good decision cuz I’ve landed middle of the green literally pitched here bit of a lengthy putt across the green across a slope but you’re going to be all right all the brakes early again brakes are I find it hard to get gauge that is when the brake is early on i feel like you hit it through the brake and then it doesn’t break so much to the hole at the whole end but it’s definitely a bit shinier down that end of the green so I’m going to put it down there see what’s what that’s the sneaker too wouldn’t it downtown two go oh didn’t hit that nearly hard enough i’ve had so many one putts today as well i could really do with making this a twopart i could see this don’t want to talk myself into it but becoming a three-part the scrambling has been good but it’s had to be because I’ve been nowhere near the greens two regulations oh this has been my third regulation green holy hell wind’s kicking up a bit now jesus left edge of this cup come on another good part here bottled it oh slipping three oh god I can’t even get the ball yes never in doubt then Ben never in doubt one one to go it’s not been great is it last hole of the day 350 yard par four dog legs round to the right bunker right bunker left water about 230 the water goes all the way down to the green a hybrid playing at the standalone tree in the middle of the fairway 215 leaves 115 in oh it’s a big right big right one two three thank you [Laughter] Ben not what you want to do but they’re in the water okay you can just see the flag stick fluttering just over the top of that hill come out right and actually this is a nice place to miss it and it shortens the hole significantly so I’ve got 123 to middle downwind flag is at the back send us 137 yards to the back edge uh I’m going to take a n iron here i’m sort of sat really nicely actually on this grass it’s probably going to be a flyer grass is running that way i’m just going to take a n iron there’s a chance I might swing underneath it so let’s just go straight at the flag stick here finn it oh no on bounce just on the back bank on the right hand side it’s been a pull round today guys i do apologize i’m not nearly as good as I think okay this is where it’s ended up right out the back of the green this is a tough shot i got 56 it’s all downhill wants to kick in i think if I land this on the green it races off so I’ve got to land it short in the fringe for it to like stun it and like bounce down that’s the plan 56 degree land it in the long stuff at the bottom of the hill oh that was I literally landed it in the long stuff don’t hate that at all i think that’s actually a pretty good shot it’s a It’s a P for par guys let’s finish strong that’s where I should have been playing from over there that’s where Ben was playing from ben’s played pretty well today pretty well comes Ben’s part that’s probably what’s let Ben’s game down a little bit today is his lag putts I’d say i literally just said the same thing to the camera probably what lets your game down as you’re putting today oh nearly did right I’ve got this left edge um my line is right on the left edge so it needs to turn otherwise I miss this left get in putting is absolutely mental yeah thank you unorthodox an enjoyable cheers mate thank you well [Music] last hole i’ll have a quick tath tot up and let you know where we are at i bet that was very in my face cuz I remember zooming in so that is probably just eyeball how about that for a backdrop to finish on so yeah that didn’t go to plan did it finish with a 95 it’s 10 over my goal 23 over gross um not very good was it really i was hoping to go around 13 over and I’ve gone 23 over given my handicap of 16 I’m seven shots over that so uh not great but I think it’s just the length of bowwood beat me up today just beat me up ben overall it’s 30 points for me ben shot 31 so well done Ben um but yeah if you’re new to the channel you watched enjoyed watching this mid- handicap golfer go around dubious uh like and subscribe give us a follow bowwood Golf Resort and Spa a very nice golf course in very good condition very friendly condition just they put bunkers in annoying places well done Bowwood well done so I just got home and I wanted to let you know that um my final score so obviously I finished 24 over when I put it into my EG it came out as a 19 so that course plays plays hard um but it knocked my 8.2 out and it’s put me up to 13.9 sam is 13.8 so his goal at the beginning of the season was to have a lower handicap than me he has achieved it i have gone backwards big time so he’s come down i’ve gone backwards we’ve met in the middle he’s overtaken me but it does mean our next match is going to be a scratch match um it’s all to play for which is exciting more exciting for me probably than him but he’s playing good golf so anyway
