Got to play Kingsbarns a few years back and without doubt the finest track ive ever played. It was also the week following the Dunhill Links, so in amazing trim.
This course is amazing , super cool to see it in an 18 hole format , too bad it is so expensive. Great playing matt, the work on the swing with your father and a little fitness seems to work wonders.
Little hiccups inside a great round Matt. Chin up! Had your putter warmed up a little it would've been a different story. You played great golf at a hell of a course. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love the place, been fortunate to play it on 2 separate sunny still days. Getting a caddie really does help round there too. His reading of putts was ridiculously good. 17 really did chew you up and spit you out. Still a decent knock round there 👌🏽
Wow ! Was lucky enough to have played it a few years ago and was blown away with the condition and spectacle, desperately wanna return to try again , well played apart from those couple of holes Matt .
Was very lucky to play it a couple of weeks ago, courtesy of Footjoy. It’s a fantastic place. According to a green keepers the greens were running at 9 1/2 on the stimpmeter ………. they were pure and ran forever. It’s such a shame the green fees at £375 a round is way beyond the average golfer 😩
It is getting ridiculous. All the talk of building the game and attracting a new demographic seems to justify the "elite" courses' gouging tourists in their own heads... The new demographic can play the common tracks... it's like the direct-to-consumer brand availability seems to grant Ping et al permission to sell $$$ clubs all of a sudden...
Great video! I've been to Kingsbarns but not able to play golf due to pandemic and my handicap at the time was too high anyway 🙄! It's a stunning course - I want to go back now that the pandemic is over and my handicap has come down...it's an immaculate course and you played brilliantly - loving this series!
Love the series Matt. As an Aussie golfer from the south coast of NSW though I can’t imagine what’s like to have to wear gloves to keep my hands warm between shots. Don’t need to do that even in winter here 😂
Great episode, great golf, the best mental attitude I've seen from you Matt. You don't need a putting lesson, just some drill practice to realign yourself and the putter. Shame about 15 & 17, but keep going!
Fantastic course, I’ve been lucky enough to play it twice. Some great golf from you, lovely to watch. Shame about the finish but remember the positives🙃
Damn that par 3 was a killer…but you made some great par saves and I dare say if your putter had been on fire you could have easily been -4 under par. For a cold day this was a great round…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great vlog matt. Started watching Rick shiels the saw u on there and thought instantly that u were cooler. So I subbed and 1st time commenting. 1st wish we had tracks like that. 2nd looks like u have improved your wedges keep it up. Love the vids keep em coming loving the content
4 holes in, I’d say you’ve got a good shot at red numbers. Strike is good. Direction is ok. I think the flat stick writes the story, on this round. I’m gonna proceed to watch. I shot even par 72 today. 2 birdies, 2 bogeys. Hit my driver great. Chipped great. Putted pretty good. Irons were a little off. I’ll take it.
Quick question…..I’m a subscriber to you, Andy, Peter and Rick. Why do you guys always carry your clubs and not use a buggy, in particular an electric buggy??? Still love you vids
76 -77 ... ..... (5 holes later ) ..... but then I looked up the scorecard after 8... and green is recommended for handicaps 6-18. rating 71.3. I rate you as a 4-cap Matt. You are a long-hitter. So you are hitting a wedge in most holes. Not pushing yourself but I understand why. I,m changing my guess to 73. Because it's easy. I'm a 5 cap on my course. Probably 6 if I was playing lots of courses, 68 years old. I would be aiming to break 75. See how it goes. Good luck. I have faith in you for a 73!
Why do all UK golf course look like there is nobody else on the course. In USA there would be a line of carts backed up yelling at m if I played at your speed lol. Wish my play could be stress free like this.
Hey mate. Do be honest with you l think you out of Pete, Andy, James and Mr shields you are playing the best golf. Rick’s chipping hss as s gone through the roof never seen him play them better but in my very amateur opinion you play the best. I would like to see you lot play 18 holes to see how that goes. Love in the red.
I did the same. :-( was strolling around my home course one under through 7, then two straight holes in the water for a triple and a double... felt nauseated and quit after 9. Dinner was ready anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
@@keithfinley2939 Bummer. Mine was an attempted 5 iron draw into a sucker pin that found the drink, never found the all so had to re-tee, got scared of another and left the second right, chipped up, two-putted, and waltzed off the par 3 with a rare "double par". 🤬
Yeah ... it's nuts. I was there in August and skipped it. I want to say it was $450-500 US, and I couldn't justify it. Prestwick was like 1/5th that. The Old Course was half that. I played Carnoustie, The Old Course, AND Prestwick for the pride of one round at Kingsbarns. I'd love to play it, but not when I can play three great courses for the price of it.
@@alisonburgess345 There are no memberships. It's a pay and play club. I think there are a small number of memberships available, but those are only for those who live in the village.
£374……that’s ridiculous, I’ve seen videos with courses very comparable to this one for less than half that price…I would hope Matt gets a bit of a deal for advertising their course..ya right 😂😂😂
Sometimes one off things are worth the money. I spunked £700 on an afternoon Heli boarding once. Life's too short to worry about things. Experiences count. You won't get to your deathbed and be glad you didn't do something you wanted to.
You only played 2 bad shots in the round really. The 7 balloon and the 6 you couldn’t settle over. The chips were a result of the 6 iron so it was a bit harsh
I’ve played it a couple of times. It looks much harder than it is, it is designed to be very accommodating off the tee so that the tourists go away having had a good time. Overpriced.
The North Sea is a sea, it’s not an ocean. The clue is in its name. The States is surrounded by oceans hence while Americans refer to them as that. We Brits should refer to our seas as seas. I’ve noticed Rick Shiels doing this too and as an insufferable pedant it grinds my gears!

Oceans and traps! North Sea and bunkers Mr Fryer!
This course is an absolute vision. Stunning.
Did he mention the views....I may have missed it 😂
Gorgeous course. Love the mental work you’re doing, Matt. Keep at it.
Still a good round man on a beautiful course. It’s all good. Thank you!
Enjoying the series, I was humming along last week and ran into a buzz saw, too😊
Matt very very good attitude with you now , that’s a big thing on good scores , Cheers .
Loved the talk through every shot and knowing what’s involved. From the lie to the wind and slope and pin which is the best miss. Keep it up x

This is a great video - and there's a pic at 41.50 which makes the hole look amazing. terrific camera work....
Little hiccups inside a great round Matt. Chin up! Had your putter warmed up a little it would've been a different story. You played great golf at a hell of a course. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I love the longer format, really gripping stuff!
Wow! how Matt has blossomed as a presenter from his early days with Rick and Pete.
One of the best golfing experiences I’ve ever had was at Kingsbarns. A real 5 star location
What a course...Nice playing, fantastic setting, content keeps getting better.
One hour flew by , class .
Good job you found your ball on 9 you took an illegal drop with your provisional! Great video fantastic course
Excellent job all things considered
Great play Matt remove 17 and the DB then phenomenal. Great watch
12th hole. My favourite hole on any course I've played.
Haven't been anywhere that felt as special as the Ailsa at Turnberry
Love the place, been fortunate to play it on 2 separate sunny still days. Getting a caddie really does help round there too. His reading of putts was ridiculously good.
17 really did chew you up and spit you out. Still a decent knock round there 👌🏽
Wow ! Was lucky enough to have played it a few years ago and was blown away with the condition and spectacle, desperately wanna return to try again , well played apart from those couple of holes Matt .
Man…that 2nd to last hole hurt. Good round Matt!
Tee shot on 15 was the killer. Great golf.
Golf is hard. 😂
I played the Torrance fairmont yesterday love it up there the golf is just so much fun on those courses
Ah some us would snap your hand off for +15 around any course! Love these vlogs, keep them coming
I reckon you'll finish the round even. That is a truly frightening golf course... Well played Matt 🎉
Beautiful footage! I like your approach to golf. Funny, serious, beautiful sport. Great exercise as well, especially with all the camera work!
I wouldn't call it "great exercise"
Internal dialogue: "We" to talk about what's future; "I" to talk about what's past.
My mind works the same way.
Was very lucky to play it a couple of weeks ago, courtesy of Footjoy. It’s a fantastic place. According to a green keepers the greens were running at 9 1/2 on the stimpmeter ………. they were pure and ran forever.
It’s such a shame the green fees at £375 a round is way beyond the average golfer 😩
The average golfer, I wonder what kind of golfers they attract? People with more money than sense.

Really enjoying this series Matt!
Great videography and golf content 👍🏽

Well played Matt! Only 2 bad shots ,the chip and the one in the sea👍🏻
Great video Matt! I get to play here in a couple weeks so this great timing for this video.
Love the series Matt. As an Aussie golfer from the south coast of NSW though I can’t imagine what’s like to have to wear gloves to keep my hands warm between shots. Don’t need to do that even in winter here 😂
Wow what a beautiful course. Had not seen it looking so good on video
Played well Matt!

Great course, good golf and horrendous Scottish accent impression 😅 - another cracking day out with Matt!
Not Attenborough the other birdie show 😂😂😂 brilliant
Great video Matt and great play, Kingsbarnes looks a real treat
Nice rendition of Give Me Some Money by The Thamesmen
Impressive looking course. Looks difficult as well.
Quite fair actually.
Damn that par 3 was a killer…but you made some great par saves and I dare say if your putter had been on fire you could have easily been -4 under par. For a cold day this was a great round…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video Matt
Hello Matt. Not wishing to sound pedantic but the ocean you keep talking about is actually the North sea, which is not an ocean .

Playing really well Matt, great video!!
Nearly 6 holes complete at this point in the video… thinking you’re going for E to +2. Looking good.
Quality content as usual bud, keep up the great work
played kingbarnes and loved the course even though it chewed me up - very windy day to be fair
Four holes in I thunk you can still beat 70. Keep the calm approach 😊
Lovely stuff
Loved this, only thing I would say is I already know how to make 6’s so pack that in eh and teach me something 😉
Good to see you keeping your head about you these days Matt! The meltdowns weren't always fun to watch (some of them were though 🤣)
Matt how are you liking the graphite shafts?
Kingsbarns is a fair and scoreable course .
Quick question…..I’m a subscriber to you, Andy, Peter and Rick. Why do you guys always carry your clubs and not use a buggy, in particular an electric buggy??? Still love you vids

You should do a in the red from Panmure and carnoustie for the 50 th anniversary of Ben Hogans only open championship he ever played …and won.
Some really good golf there Matt, shame I can’t say the same about your abysmal tidal knowledge 😅
Maybe three over. Looks like a difficult course.
Quite of few tiers or tears on the green...😂

17 was brutal you poor bugger ..... however i still laughed at you :D no one is safe from ridicule.
I think I'd be hard pressed to hit the ball at all surrounded by those views.
Four holes in, 1 under for 18
Another cracker Matt, looks like a great course
Amazing how 2 bad holes change the whole game
+1
“Stay calm and be positive.” Who are you and what have you done with Matt? 😂
Matt are you from the old school 😂 drop of the 9. Your knies are very high 😅
I sort of miss the meltdowns!😅
What shoes are these Matt?
If you get in the red here you can do it anywhere.
We share your pain... mangled a par 4 my last time out👍
I did the same. :-( was strolling around my home course one under through 7, then two straight holes in the water for a triple and a double... felt nauseated and quit after 9. Dinner was ready anyway. 🤷🏻♂️
@@robertwheeler-qw4kh mine was a floaty 3 wood that drifted O.B. on the breeze... 🙄
@@keithfinley2939 Bummer. Mine was an attempted 5 iron draw into a sucker pin that found the drink, never found the all so had to re-tee, got scared of another and left the second right, chipped up, two-putted, and waltzed off the par 3 with a rare "double par". 🤬
What a long video Matt!!! You are becoming a Rick Shiels 😅. No time to watch it yet will keep for later 😊
It's all the waffling, sometimes we don't need to see the full pre shot routine and 10 minutes lining up a putt 😂
I prefer the longer 18 hole videos, brilliant
Need a small mortgage to cover the green fees.
That’s crazy..I can play my local course 8 times for that price…😂😂
Yeah ... it's nuts. I was there in August and skipped it. I want to say it was $450-500 US, and I couldn't justify it. Prestwick was like 1/5th that. The Old Course was half that.

@@robertwheeler-qw4khIt is MUCH better than the dreary Old Course
What would a membership cost ?
@@alisonburgess345 There are no memberships. It's a pay and play club.

I’m going to be kind 2 under
16:34 +1
Like your bits…sorry meaning vids….good voice Peter is too sharp
70

its not an ocean, its the north sea.

On this form son . An early contender for the Rick Wank splash Shiels you tube chip n put Masters . Go go go 🚶♀️ 👏 💪
Definitely not for your average golfer, Jeeze for that money I could play 7-8 different courses here in Cornwall
Too much talk between shots, too slow, thanks for the video

Shortness of breath. Please see a cardiologist for a stress test.
After 4 holes Matt I think your looking good for -1 🏌️♀️⛳️
