Can u please stop calling yourself by your first name and then on another occasion saying your surname? I can't keep up and don't know if ken and Mr Barlow are the same person. I realise this sounds stupid but for people 'dipping' in to your videos they won't know who is who either
This serious has been sheer joy. Nice banter, no edge - you all seem so relaxed together. The course looks exceptional in all ways. This video is an excellent advert for golf and an excellent advert for Ireland.
my mother and her family grew up just down the road. My uncle used to work for Lord Headfort, played it a couple of years ago, stunning courses. Fishing leaping in the blackwater river etc
In Ireland there has been a National Handicap Database for more than 20 years and everyone has a card which tells their handicap. Because of this anyone can play any course and most golf clubs have an Open Competition at least once a month. When I visit I look on-line for 'Ireland Golf Opens'. On any day I will find at least 20 Opens within 30 or so miles of where I am in the country. I book on-line, looking for a space with people already booked I play with people who know almost always know the course It counts towards my handicap, I got a one shot cut on one holiday. It costs between €20 and €50, the top end being places like the K Club. Headfort costs €35 for an Open. I highly recommend this if you are thinking of visiting Ireland.
Utterly stunning golf course.. What a fantastic job you guys get to do.. It must be like going on holiday every day with you`re mate and sending a video postcard home to us?
Liam, I will never tire of these “Hidden Gems” videos. You present some fine videography and it’s a nice little distraction to spend some time with you and some golf mates. Heck, I even enjoy Mr. B! I’ll have to bring my clubs the next time we hop across the Pond and track you down for a round with E-bay Pete.
Big Roy Chubby Stu Brown was one of my favourites from the early days. Glad to see him back. I'd love more of him on the channel. Loving all the overseas content at the moment. Great content Liam.
Right from the introduction you could see Barlow was bursting to say “ I don’t make the indexes “ but for once he didn’t. Saved it till later. I wonder how many cards he puts in. 5 shots in 7 holes is too many.
As always brilliant video. Just back from a weekend away with my golf mates & like you guys we love it when our mates play good shots but love the bad shots even more. Brilliant crack 👍
Great clip again. Always great to see Mr B sink a long one. And Stu is a natural. His walk'n'talk at 35:50 was almost like he was casually talking to himself.
Looks like you found your dream course there. Everyone has been playing well, good banter, would like to see more holes where Stu gets a shot or no one getting a shot Mr Barlow plays like he's a single handicap, keep it up Liam the best I've seen you play
Great little series lads and great to see some of the courses I've played up on UA-cam. Enjoy the rest of yer trip......im guessing next is Lough Erne GC......a big beast!
Well done lads, you really are showcasing Ireland! Absolutely loving the videos so far. Can’t wait to see what else is in store - especially dunfanaghy!
Played the 2 Headforts last year on one of the brothers 50th, 2 class tracks, first 6 holes on the championship course leave the driver in the bag.😮 Brilliant series yet again lads, well done, maybe next course pick 5 holes where Mr Barlow doesn't get a shot 😂 All 3 with a birdie now hopefully we'll see some more 🐦 in the next episode 👍
Love it. What's name of that tune again Joe? What a wonderful course and series. You must see from the comments how much of a buzz this hidden gems gives us all. Pure joy ❤
I’m off to Spain on Wednesday to play golf with my mates and watching this is exciting me for that trip. Great video and a lovely course. Well done lads 👏🏻👏🏻
Another excellent video boys, great course and the good golf continues. Looking forward to Slovakia on Weds and the next Irish gem. Living the dream boys!
Top class course, hats off to the green staff who keep it immaculate, travel to play it every year,, as Roy said, wouldn't get sick of it every week.. The old course is nice too but championship is just another level👌👌
Well done Golf Mates on a great video! And well done on those drives down the 12th! As a member of Headfort for 25 years and having played many of the greats in Ireland, Headfort is up with the best of them...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely brilliant, boys. Mr.B continues to improve!! When are the Golf Mates coming to Australia? You'd be spoiled for choice with golf courses here. Also, there'd be legions of Barlow's Army waiting at the airport for their commander!!
Another absolutely cracking video golfmates what a course and the golf between all 3 off you was fantastic just great to watch can't wait for next week's episode but first we've got Slovakia on Wednesday cracking
What a lovely course and some great golf by some of you 😂 finally got to the range yesterday for the first time since the operation. Felt great and ready to get out playing again. Can’t wait. Breaking that 100 is in sight.
Another epic video , everyone playing great golf , well done Mr Barlow and Stu on your birdies , Stuart shaved so many of 5hose holes with his putts and Liam last 2 holes lost your lead of the day . Keep safe and well golfmates
You looked like you enjoyed that lads, nice course, but when you've finished you know you've played it, nice clubhouse with sound staff, well worth a visit,
Probably in the top ten Parkland courses in Ireland. Would love to see what you’d think of my course Rathcore, it too is a hidden hidden gem. Also has Moyvalley next door & the beautiful 2 at Carton House down the road.
Fair play to you lads, you've done more to advertise golf in Ireland than our own tourist board has. Headfort is a fantastic course, not a bad hole on it. Hope to see you all back again.
hope you can share this series golfmates

Thank you means a lot
The music with the drone footage, the banter, the golf 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥awesome content.

Without a doubt my favourite golfing channel on YT. The trips to Ireland and Slovakia are a pure joy to watch. Thanks guys!
Thank you
Proud to be a kells man and a member of this beautiful course, play it every weekend and never get tired of it
Glad to see Stu back 😊
Gorgeous courses, looks like a lot of fun too. Good old MR B he’s hilarious 👍🏼
my mother and her family grew up just down the road. My uncle used to work for Lord Headfort, played it a couple of years ago, stunning courses. Fishing leaping in the blackwater river etc
Loving the series so far, courses look fabulous and great weather. The banter brigade at their finest.
The way stu went solo and gave us some facts he will have his own show next 👏👏🍀🍻
Boom
Such an enjoyable series. And, terrific quality production.
Many thanks chaps!

The old course has the most amazing clay greens. You can see breaks but the lines are mainly straight. Great to see you there!
Absolutely brilliant so far Liam, you should be proud. Shoutout to Joe as well.
Utterly stunning golf course.. What a fantastic job you guys get to do.. It must be like going on holiday every day with you`re mate and sending a video postcard home to us?
Fantastic stuff . Keep the vids this long please Liam , great entertainment.
what a lovely course .. beautiful parkland .. and the black river just accentuates it all .. loving the banter too ..
Thank you

Thank you
Another outstanding series Liam out of all the courses you've all played which do you like the most parkland or links ❤
Big Roy Chubby Stu Brown was one of my favourites from the early days. Glad to see him back. I'd love more of him on the channel. Loving all the overseas content at the moment. Great content Liam.
Trying hard
Absolutely brilliant lads, really enjoyed that, 👍👍
I really like the longer format, Liam. Great golf and banter from the three of you.
Thank you
Right from the introduction you could see Barlow was bursting to say “ I don’t make the indexes “ but for once he didn’t. Saved it till later. I wonder how many cards he puts in. 5 shots in 7 holes is too many.
Lop
My golf was rained out in New York this weekend, so I have been looking forward to this all weekend. Loving the content, Liam.
Cheers james
Great to see Stu back on the channel. Great series guys 👌👏
It is
As always brilliant video. Just back from a weekend away with my golf mates & like you guys we love it when our mates play good shots but love the bad shots even more.
Brilliant crack 👍
Thank you
Was Mr Barlow the last one up this morning, extra on Bay Watch.
Great parkland course, never played it myself but will now!
I love northern island ❤🏌🏿♂️
This is a great series. Steve is a different person this trip and he is now the ideal playing partner. I'm rooting for him to catch Liam!
Lets see

it is always a pleasure to see you play golf guys! Thanks for this channel
Love it. Just wish the videos were longer. Maybe 9 hole matches. Keep up the great work boys.
Cheers
What a pure joy to watch this episode. Beautiful course. Great birdies.
Headfirst is one of my absolute favourite courses. Hope to back there in May%
Videos are looking amazing lads. Cheers from a Canadian Golf Mate! Hopefully one day I'll see you in my beautiful country!
It’s on the Ryder
Agreed. Especially a Canadian Rockies tour: Banff Springs, Grey Wolf, some of the Columbia Valley courses.
Yes! Even some on the east coast PEI! Canada is very diverse lotsss to see.@@dnish6673
Great clip again. Always great to see Mr B sink a long one.
And Stu is a natural. His walk'n'talk at 35:50 was almost like he was casually talking to himself.
Great series. Love to see stu doing a video on golf tips.
Thank you
Looks like you found your dream course there. Everyone has been playing well, good banter, would like to see more holes where Stu gets a shot or no one getting a shot Mr Barlow plays like he's a single handicap, keep it up Liam the best I've seen you play
This is my local course. Absolute quality, the green keepers do an incredible job! Well played and great find 👍

Beautiful course! And lovely put Mr. Barlow. Always rooting for you.
Beautiful course with top class par 3! really challenging. And good fun as always :)
Probably in the top ten Parkland courses in Ireland. Would love to see what you’d think of my course Rathcore, it too is a hidden hidden gem. Also has Moyvalley next door & the beautiful 2 at Carton House down the road.
Liam, I don't know what you're talking about! Not only is Mr. Barlow a putting machine, but he is a fashion icon too!
Top notch entertainment, well played all👍👍👍
Thank you
Wow what a beautiful course….those are the kinds of greens I love putting on…smooth 👍🏼👍🏼
There that
Fair play to you lads, you've done more to advertise golf in Ireland than our own tourist board has. Headfort is a fantastic course, not a bad hole on it. Hope to see you all back again.
Thank you
What a course for €50! You all played well and the filming was great too, looking forward to the next round.
Thank you
Quality as always golf mate,what a stunning course.
Thank you
Slane Whiskey is a preference of mine over Jameson. It's so good.
Also the "yay!" at 42:18" from Stu made me laugh out loud.
Cheers
Great video chaps. Well done. I like Steve’s Super Mario outfit especially 😃
Thank you
I love this series it’s the best
Thank you
Love hidden gems, cant wait for next episode 😅❤

Thoroughly enjoyable. All of you are playing well. That looked like a great course and all that for less than £50 !!!
Unreal course
