I do it all the time. Especially old bastards that play slow - I love hitting balls that land near their feet / cart to intimidate them. Hate old people and women on the course
Horne is 100 times more generous with his “take it always” than Robins is! Maybe even 1000 times. Poor Horne! Robins has the most watchable swing I’ve ever seen in my pathetic little life, however. It’s a hypnotising thing of beauty. Great work as always chaps.
Another great video. A sign of a really good YT video is not just the amount of views and likes but the absence of dislikes. Funny guys, with great content and edited and presented perfectly. Easily the most entertaining golf channel on the old tube!
15:57 Alex's debut with a Gap Wedge. "Do I just turn it on? It's on... Whoa it gets very hot... Never hitting this again." This kind of dry humour makes Alex Horne a legend.
Alex asked if professional golfers apply backspin to putts. In fact the opposite is true, they apply topspin to help the ball hold its line. A putt struck with no topspin means the ball initially skids across the green before it starts to roll and is more likely to deviate from it's intended line.
I just love you two, you remind me of me and my golf partner, we have a laugh, big each other up, are disappointed for each other when we have miss hits, but most of all are not overly competitive with each other - keeping the game relaxed and enjoyable. By the way you need to get some birdie juice - no it's not some excretion from our feathered friends! It's a shot of alcohol (or in our case a can of gin & tonic/mojito/any other canned alcoholic drink) to celebrate the birdie. Oh and a tube of Pringles is always a good snack during a round .......you're welcome 😁😬
As a beginner, I really appreciated the hole when they specified that each time they were using a golf club. I thought sometimes they were using hockey sticks.
I’m also a bad golfer but I’d like to make a observation on Alex shot at 16:14 you set up to hit that gap wedge right you actually hit the shot straight just you were aiming that way that’s what I seen anyway 👍 love the videos lads keep them coming
I tried the Robins Perfect Putting System last round. I drained a lot of mid range putts dead center. It felt really good and my distance control was miles ahead of my previous round. Might be on to something.
I was actually thinking these guys are improving and then I hear the quote "Do professional golfers put backspin on a putt?" 😁. Don't improve lads. It will destroy the channel 😂
It drives me absolutely nuts when bigger boys behind hit balls in to the green when you haven’t cleared it. A few weeks ago my playing partner said ‘watch out’ and I turned to see a ball coming at me at Mach-2. Just got my arm in front of my face before it took my teeth out! Got a cracking bruise on my elbow for it. Yeah, you lose your right to play through there, buster. Still! Another great video and what a beauty of a course!
I don't know how you ever do find a ball that you've hit so far. But then, I still know hardly anything about golf. Just here for the funny banter and the cute boys.
@@stephensmith7130 Old Man Pat from Golfmates, aim at a point no further than 1 feet from the ball. Even helps with lining up with irons and others, only then my aim is apprx. 2 yards.Use your clubshaft as a ruler.
4:12 I like the idea of the putting technique with your feet, just a shame you didn't keep your feet a putter width apart like you said as you gradually moved them apart, so the theory is technically null and voided right there lol.
It was from a mistake, but showing the hole on Google maps really was a great feature. Also if you could put a line over the flag or an arrow to it, that would be great.
Do the professionals put back spin on their putts? I don’t think so: they hit them on the up, to get forward roll, as opposed to hitting them on the down to get them to stop short. Alex is thinking of wedge shots possibly?
It's about feel I think, I never noticed at first but as my putting has improved I've noticed that you feel more connected to the club if that makes sense. The pros take them off for a reason, so at least I can look the part when putting even if I am pony at golf :)
Just after Alex got his birdie, on the next hole down in the rough there is a number 2 cloud in the sky from the golfing gods to justify the master stroke
Who ever played that ball into that green while your putting is disgraceful hope they apologised that’s disgraceful play Also no to iron covers and Alex get a head cover for your driver saves getting any damage done to the club
@@seanr1899 who ever hit it should have seen them on the green before hitting and waited John and Alex both feel rushed on the greens with there comments “ bigger boys are behind us” I personally believe when on the green take your time hole more puts and if group or single is rushing you wait and let them play though but never rush your there to enjoy the game play ready golf and never hit when anyone is on the green or close in front of you it’s poor sportsmanship and gives golf a bad name
@@simon690 truly most 4somes fuck around on a green though. Umming and awwing and everyone watching each other's line even though they can't putt for shit.
@@diogeneslantern18 still should wait for green to clear its proper etiquette no matter how slow someone plays if your a solo player foursome should let you play though it’s ready golf at the end of we’re all there to enjoy are selfs and not cause injury or stress to others if large group r playing slow same as solo should let others play though r wait at next tee and say for them to go ahead it’s manners which is lost in this world Also playing a shot into someone while on a green would put a lot of people of the sport as your trying to rush some when we should be encouraging more people to play the sport and enjoy it
Pleaseeeee tell me you have videos ready to keep me sane during Lockdown V2.0! Alex Horne, have 1 x lesson on putting and you will be a 15 HCAP golfer!!!!
What mics do you use that we can hear you both so clearly so far from the phone? Love you both and thanks for sticking up for us bad golfers around the world!
Is the “G” club between a wedging and a SANDING 😂 rather than put up on the screen every club you are using, can you just put up the word SANDING for every bunker shot 👏👏
Still don't understand the putting technique. Taking it back a certain distance doesn't mean anything when putting if you then have to increase/decrease the power because of uphill/downhill/speed of the greens etc.
Love John's "scientific" approach to putting, just one question, after he had measured/estimated the putt length, how does he know how far apart to put his feet?? So.... Not that scientific after all....

@@jpquinn91 1. The question was ‘Do professional golfers put backspin on a putt?’ 2. “Rolling forwards” is ambiguous at best. A trolley ‘rolls forward’, with 90% of the trolley doing no rolling at all. A golf ball can roll towards a hole yet be travelling 180° in the opposite direction. “Rolling forwards” is not specific enough to rule out my point. 3. When a snooker player applies backspin, it often continues rolling with forward spin after the reverse spin has worn off. A ‘drag’ or ‘stun run-through’ are the most obvious.
@@jpquinn91 again, “put backspin” is ambiguous. In the first millisecond after the ball leaves the face of a firm putt and is somewhat clear of the ground, is the top of the ball rotating faster away or toward the golfer? Given that most putters have a loft of 3° or more, the likelihood is that the answer is yes, but… once the ball has full contact with the ground, it travels with top of the ball rotating away from the golfer and no ‘backspin’ remains. It’s important to be accurate.
You asked for questions so I thought I'd go for a hard hitting question 🤣🤣. Why's John never appeared on taskmaster? Is it because John is far too mean with gimmies or do you just not like him

20:35 Bloody right John, there's no excuse for hitting balls into people, it's both dangerous and rude.
Should have thrown the guys ball back to him as well!
@@SpennysGamingChannelPS3PS4 I’ve always been told you mark their ball where it lands, then hit it back to them.

Thanks for answering my question gents.
That was incredible! The phantom golf ball flying in from right of the frame 😅😅
PLEASE DO MORE COURSE VLOGS!! WAY TOO FAR BETWEEN LADS ! Love 💟 the 9 hole rounds when most others only do 3 - 5 holes keep it up 👍
Watching Alex hit a 2 foot putt has to be the most stressful thing in the world. Ps can we have the round score mentioned at the end please ?
Slowly becoming my favourite channel on UA-cam.
Please drop all other commitments and post 3 rounds of bad golf a week. Sincerely, a selfish person completely hooked on these videos

Hey guys love your channel. I wish you guys had more content. I know you guys have lives but I need more!!! Thanks for what you guys do.
These are becoming my favourite videos on UA-cam !
As a beginner, I really appreciated the hole when they specified that each time they were using a golf club. I thought sometimes they were using hockey sticks.
I was worrying that John had turned over a new leaf, and then the hooter finally reappeared after the duffed tee shot 🤣🤣
I know they are very busy people but I really could do with more bad golf
I don’t think John is that busy, afternoon gig on Friday, that’s it 😂
You can tell how much more serious John has got towards golf over the years
I’m also a bad golfer but I’d like to make a observation on Alex shot at 16:14 you set up to hit that gap wedge right you actually hit the shot straight just you were aiming that way that’s what I seen anyway 👍 love the videos lads keep them coming
I was getting quite concerned at just how relaxed John was.
Like a true showman, he came good towards the end.
I came from your column in today’s Golfer Magazine
You both have great ability in playing bad golf,keep it guys,look forward to the next video as always.
Really enjoyed this one guys. Thanks.
I tried the Robins Perfect Putting System last round. I drained a lot of mid range putts dead center. It felt really good and my distance control was miles ahead of my previous round. Might be on to something.
If that putt is 15 feet from the hole then John must be about 9'6".
the golf ball impromptu commercials are hysterical
The 13th should have been a gimme, poor Alex!
I was actually thinking these guys are improving and then I hear the quote "Do professional golfers put backspin on a putt?" 😁. Don't improve lads. It will destroy the channel 😂
Really enjoying the gps scene
alex is hitting provisionals but john is taking drops... i think you need to come to a concensus on how to handle wayward tee shots.
Really good vid guys, keep it up!
I love you guys, too much probably ...
Gap wedge part had me chuckling!
I've heard some ponky BS on a golf course but John's calibration technique is an interesting one hahhaha
That putting technique is awesome!
It drives me absolutely nuts when bigger boys behind hit balls in to the green when you haven’t cleared it.

Try and keep it wholesome John. Children watch your channel! 😂😂😂
That happened to me,a ball just missed me (dangerously)so I picked it up a through it in the rough,no shout no ball
I actually enjoyed the little google earth bit
It was from a mistake, but showing the hole on Google maps really was a great feature. Also if you could put a line over the flag or an arrow to it, that would be great.
14:34 "Oh Alex, look at these two little balls" 😨
The disappointment in John's voice when Alex hadn't filmed the par 3 😂😂😂
Started using a similar putting system but my gauge is based off using the Perfect Putt tool from 6ft and the distance after contact with the ball 👌🏾
Is there a name for this putting method? I want to try something similar
@@seanr1899 since it’s based on the Putt Out practice tool it’d could be called the Putt Out method or name it the Tyler2fye method after me 🤣🤷🏾♂️

Brilliant channel
Do the professionals put back spin on their putts? I don’t think so: they hit them on the up, to get forward roll, as opposed to hitting them on the down to get them to stop short. Alex is thinking of wedge shots possibly?
You can put your towel between your clubs if the club rattling bothers you
Love to hear the fog Horne 😂
Doing it “on feel”, Mr Horne, is why you come up short on putting….LESSON!!!!
I agree with Alex. I hate head covers. My driver head cover too.
John that’s an ingenious way of controlling your speed putting
The twitches and practice takebacks before each swing gives me anxiety 😂
Who would win in a crazy golf game
John and Elis
Or
Horne and Key / Watson ?
Question for John: Why do you take your glove off to putt? I never bother even though I've seen the pros do it; am I just lazy?
I don't take my glove off to putt as I don't see the point
It's about feel I think, I never noticed at first but as my putting has improved I've noticed that you feel more connected to the club if that makes sense. The pros take them off for a reason, so at least I can look the part when putting even if I am pony at golf :)
The best question ever in golf, how wide apart are your feet going to be for a 51 foot putt😂

Still don't understand the putting technique. Taking it back a certain distance doesn't mean anything when putting if you then have to increase/decrease the power because of uphill/downhill/speed of the greens etc.
you cannot understand because there is no logic there.
Lol I'm sure it's just for a laugh. The guy is so useless anyway that he has no clue what he's doing on the green.
