Don't know who's doing your videography and editing but they are taking golf UA-cam to another level! Enjoy the week at St Andrews
Iona this was simply wonderful - can’t wait to get back there
An absolutely beautiful film Iona. It really captured the essence of St Andrews. Thanks for making it! And I can't wait for the this open!!!
I have only ever been to St Andrews once in my life, in 2021. I was totally smitten with the place and the vibe of the town. I can’t wait to go back and actually play there
I was fortunate enough to work 17 Open Championships between 1990-2015 for ABC/ESPN. 5 Open Championships at St.Andrew’s. Also worked 2 Women’s Open’s in 2007, and 2013. Just an incredible historical town. I’m going to enjoy watching as much golf as I can from my living room these next 4 days. What a truly historical week. God Bless you Old Tom, and Young Tom too.
That was a delight Iona. Played there in the mid 70s an experience never forgotten. Played my best most iconic drive, ever. on the 17th. With a 1 iron. Made 5 eventually on that famed road hole. When I go the memory of my round at St Andrews old course will go with me to the next great course somewhere in the cosmos. Enjoyed your input on the 150 show. Keep up the good work and keep travelling and reporting back.
You did a excellent video, played there 3 times, was lovely to see the area again, fabulous 👍🏻
This is so great, nice, fantastic, all of the above.. One day I hope to visit St. Andrews.. It's on my bucket list. Maybe if I get lucky. Thank you Iona.. Cheers..
Enjoyed this tale very much. Thanks Iona.
Phenomenal story. A part of St. Andrew's we don't see. Just watching this segment brought an emotional tear to my eye.
It looks amazing, I hope to make it there one day. Great video, and I'm a fan after today Iona 👏
Another great video Iona 😊👌Hopefully will see more of you in front of the camera on the Tour channels 🤞🤞🤞🤩
Absolutely stunning. What an amazing job you have done of bringing the “feel” of St Andrews to the masses. I had goose bumps.
i agree
Last year I finally got to play the Old Course with my Dad, it then turned out to be the last round we played together as he passed in january this year. Such a special place and now even more special than I ever could have imagined! great video, and can't wait for the Open!
Iona, what a stunning piece of work, so atmospheric and heartwarming. You have a lovely voice for television work, bringing an obvious passion to the subject. Keep up the great work 😍😍
Len was an absolute gentleman 👏
Good job on this one, yet again. Nice to see a return of The Jacket :)
Love St Andrews… never played it but visited many times . Great video Iona
There's no more magical golf location than St Andrews. My week there will never be surpassed, and quite possibly not equalled! And your brief video does a brilliant job of capturing this magic!
MAGIC 🎉. Absolutely wonderful. Brings back such lovely memories
A great video. I also love the little cameos from your 4 legged friend!
giving respect to the older generation ,,,,,,,,love it,,,, well done Iona,,,,,,,,,,,
Fabulous insight. Thanks Iona 🏌🏻♂️⛳️
Excellent story..nice to get a better understanding of how golf, the town and the local residents and how they all interact.
Wow.. well done Iona. Makes me want to hop on a plane and go there.
Felt the magic at the Vatican of golf: 1993 7:00 AM. I arranged a friend to drive me out there (and leave), just walked on and was put on the standbye list. I was a student, played at 09:00 AM with 2 Americans who had Caddies, brought my half set with a PING 1-iron, broke 90 and parred 17 and 18. The travel back by train to Edinburgh I do not remember. I parred 17, I parred 17 ! I was still thinking...and... I walked where the all the greatest golfers in the world walked. Magical.
The Vatican of golf, love it, has the Papa got an early morning tee off... 😜
An exceptional video, Iona. Truly a bucket list destination. You have done it justice and I am very appreciative. Please keep them coming!
Cracking video and Iona is spot on, the vibe, the history, the atmosphere of St Andrew’s oozes out of every nook & cranny. It’s a truly amazing place to visit as a golf fan - it’s not cheap but it has to be on every golfers bucket list. Oh, it’s also got an excellent fish & chip shop which I frequented a few times too many
I love the look and cinematographic feel of this video! This is a fantastic video. How does this channel have 9k subs.... That'll change soon
Very enjoyable blog, so looking forward to the open starting, love your insight into st Andrews.
Class stuff, Iona. Can't wait for Thursday!
Beautiful video and a stunning tribute to the home of golf.. well played👏🏻👏🏻
Great video Iona. Thanks , slainte 🍺🍺🥃🥃🇮🇪🇮🇪
i got to spend short time in this wonderful town only a couple of weeks ago. every shop, barista or pub has charm! the town is alive with character. St. Andrews is a gem and your work here shows it well.
Cannot wait for Thursday thru Sunday. The history - I've been to St Andrews once outside of golf (sadly) and staring back up the 18th fairway gave me goosebumps. This video does the same again. You can't but be taken by the strong sense of identity and the knowledge of all that has taken place on that course. Simply unparalleled; majestic.
Enjoyed this video Iona - been visiting the town since I was little….I just love it and know it like it was my home
Just amazing Iona. Another superb episode. I've only ever been once to St. Andrews and it hits you straight between the eyes when you see the clubhouse and course for the first time. Mind blowing! Great job once again!!
Wow, just wow, thanks Iona.
This was a stunning video. Great production, great story, gave the good feels!
That was utterly exceptional from start to finish. Thank you so much for this brilliant insight into St. Andrews. Outstanding production and presentation too ❤.
I love the place but I wouldn't dream of going there during the Open week. First time I was there was in 1984, managed to blag free accommodation at the Uni buildings. Don't think we paid anything to get in to watch the golf either. Absolutely loved the place since then. Last time I watched golf there was 2018 at the Seniors Open for my 65th birthday. Much more relaxed, had a wonderful time.
Yes!!! Been waiting for this one👍
Loving the recent videos that have been coming out! Hope to one day make it out to play
Brilliant well done ... I’ve got tickets for the Wednesday practice day and can’t wait 😊
Great Iona. Lovely to see you with Len the lefty. A true gentleman I have spent countless hours on the practice ground with Len more chat than practice. 90 years young and still trying to improve my father is 86 exactly the same. This crazy awesome game has its claws in you for a lifetime. I can imagine being in the grave 6ft under and saying to myself. If only I opened the face a little more and swing a bit faster I'll get myself out of here.
Len is my lovely father-in-law. Bizarrely he is only left handed for golf and nothing else! Loved this video.
Unfortunately I’m unable to go to St. Andrew’s for the Open but I’m going up in August which will be my 2nd time there. I was totally blown away with place, both town & golf course, on my first visit and the people are all genuinely friendly. This video sums up St. Andrews and I’d say to anyone visiting to go fully explore the town as there’s so much to see (even if not all golf related). Love this video, thanks Iona 👍⛳️🏌🏼♂️
Great piece. So well done
Absolutely love this. Great story telling.
What a good put together! Great job, you seem like a down right good person! Cutest dog as well!
Good luck with your channel. Just subscribed.
Just beautiful. Thank you ma'am!!
Delightful!
Great video lona as are all your videos too you and your crew keep up the great work
Great video, Iona!
One of the greatest cities in the world.
It's not a city, not even close
@@sandersson2813 Get a life! 🤣🤣🤣
Excellent work and content. The camera work and thought that has gone into the narrative are a joy.
The videographer needs to find a way of illuminating your face when it's in shadow. He or she can adjust for it but thatmight over expose the background.
A reflector might be too much hassle if you are trying to get the job done quickly.
An led diffuser lamp on top of the camera would do it and he could dial the power up or down.
The films would really benefit from larger close ups of faces and your face! That too might also improve the under exposure issue.
Most people will view on small devices...so even a medium shot can be a long way with you barely visible.
The narration and the golf ⛳️ is sublime!
What a fantastic video! Wonderfully fond reflections on the history of St. Andrew’s and its residents. Very atmospheric. Excellent job.
Hey Iona, another great video. Question - is your pup a ridgeback cross? I only ask because I have two sitting with me right now watching the TV!
Magical place. Awesome Iona
Great video, keep the coming.
You visited my Grandpa's birthplace, the Jigger Inn.Great Grandpa was Stationmaster back in the1880s.
Iona- I will be visiting September 8/14th. Hope to see you around town.
Just.... 👌🏼 👏🏼 amazing video
Fantastic video. Congrats
For reference: Canada was just 5 years old (and not all provinces had yet joined Canada) when the open began. St Andrew's and the open is hallowed ground zero to every golfer!
Canada 1867. First Open 1860. 162 years ago. There were 12 years when the Open wasn’t played due to wars and such. I think that’s why it’s 150 this year.
Great stuff !!! love it.
What an amazing video!
Epic 🙌👏👏👏
Whit a lovely tribute…
just stunning
Loved this video!
Very well done, I love you!
Great video many thanks
Lovely. Says it all really.
Brilliant video Iona well done
Get us a tee time Iona 😊😊⛳️
Brilliant video
Not one mention of Dr John Rattery who made up the first fourteen rules of golf and the first international game played in 1744 I think it was between Scotland and England at Leith Links near Edinbrugh
You must be a hoot at parties Doug
Fantastic video
Love your vids )))
What a stunning video Iona, St Andrews is going to put on a show for the world to see just how magical the home of golf really is. ⛳ 🏴
You can't be serious, this course is obsolete and if it isn't windy it's getting it's pants pulled down. It could get embarrassing for the R&A for producing a seriously dull Open, even by the usual St Andrews standards of boring.
@@sandersson2813 Good to see you're keeping optimistic 👍
@@shane5752 Just saying it as it is. Worst course on the rota
@@sandersson2813 It's not always about the course itself, it's about the town, the atmosphere, the history, the memories, it takes more than a good course to create a good open.
@@shane5752 Thats a shit reason for holding a major there. Prestwick held the first Open, bit that's not on the rota, nor is Musselburgh .
You wouldn't hold the World Cup final at Turf Moor because it has history.
Sport is about entertainment, and the history of the town has no bearing on that.
Brilliant
Nice
What kind of dog? Red lab?
City ???????
Yep it is a city as it has a cathedral
I've got the biggest crush on Iona. Don't tell anyone.
Blacklisting Greg Norman, a two time winner from this anniversary event is a statement by St. Andrews!
Petty and bitter
@@sandersson2813 Just like you.
@@sandersson2813 And Liv players get to play for some reason. Wtf
@@matthewoberton1830 why not?
@@sandersson2813 They said they don't want distractions so they banned Greg. What kind of distraction will it be if a Liv golfer wins the Open?
Shouldn't they has herds of sheep on the course?
Not every great player has played there….Exhibit A: Ben Hogan.
Personally I hate when The Open is at St Andrews, it ruins the golf for everyone and it's a terrible venue for a major in every sense.
It should only be about once in 8 years, not every five as the course isn't up to it.
All I can do is 🤣🤣🤣 at that ridiculous comment.
What a rediculous comment
@@johndwyer1999 How is it "ridiculous"
It is without doubt the worst venue on the Open rota, not just as a course which is too easy, but as a viewing venue which is truly terrible .
Have you seen today's pins? Clearly an admission the course is far too easy
@@johndwyer1999 It's spelled ridiculous.
Jigger Inn total rip off
Fantastic video
