As a female learning golf, its great to see someone new to the game share the struggles that we are all going through. But would say to minimise the negative thought process - if you think bad shots will happen then they will happen. Be confident in your ability and focus on where you are now compared to where you were 6 months ago. Great video - look forward to the next one 😁⛳️
Yay! Love it.. the little edits with circles and arrows round the ball and where you aiming are awesome. Your best video so far. Definitely not let us down. Was a pleasure to watch
This was one of my favourite golf volgs I’ve ever seen! 🤗 Thank for sharing ur truthful thoughts as u played every shot. And no need to be sorry, we as golfers know golf is hard and golf always wins! That’s why we get excited when we beat it 😉 Keep these vid coming if u can. Gr8 work!
Range/Sim to course is not an easy transition! Something I’ve learned very quickly 🤣 The slight change in lies and ball position above & below the feet even on the fairway can offset most everyday golfers. Keep it up
Exactly what I would tell her. Two different games between grass and mat. I avoid hitting off mats for the most part. Shoot, I try to avoid the range as much as possible too. Lol
Hi Mia, golf is hard so don't worry about not playing your best golf all the time. I've been playing 25 years, got down to 8 hcp and now back to 11. Struggling to find any form so far this year. My golf scores this year are for my course which is a par 71. 80,80,88,87,84 and 90!. You will get better and you will have more off days than good days. Concentrate on every shot from the tee shot to a 2 foot putt. You will get better. I've heard lots of UA-camrs say they play better off camera than on. It's got to be hard to concentrate when trying to make content to interact with your audience. Keep up the good work 👍👍
The voice, the smile, the personality…I’m in love. Very cool vlog for us average golfers. This is more in line with what we all do on the weekend. You are awesome!
I really enjoy the pure honesty that you show for the game. I'm also a beginner and it is great to see that we all have our struggles!!! Keep up the outstanding work.
I'm new to your channel and enjoy your videos. For a fairly new golfer you have an excellent swing. I love your upbeat attitude (necessary when playing golf), and your personality is absolutely magnetic. The videos are well designed - very professional. Keep up the good work.
From my point of view you did great. I know that I am never going to be a pro (yah right!!) nor even a low handicap (I am just not going to play enough to do that). As you can tell I’m a relative newbie as well. So why go out there - because it’s fun. I don’t have to play 5 times a week but when I do go out I look to have fun. You are being very hard on yourself as many of us are but I think you did great considering you are filming this and the course is not what you are used to. I very much like your commentary because it is much more relatable to me than watching a pro on UA-cam. Keep it up and please do more of these types. Thanks.
Mia. You are doing great. Your content is relatable and entertaining. You have improved incredibly quickly, and I’m sure you’ll continue. Keep it coming please x
So I just discovered you by accident...this was a fun vlog! Your personality is amazing and you're so fun! You do a great job editing as well...the music and sound effects you use are on point! No need to apologize for not striking your irons well...as a golfer myself I understand that sometimes you just have a bad round. Keep it up! You just earned yourself another subscriber.
Really, really, really well done! Good honest playing blogg. 👍☺️ Quick tip for next time on the range is to hit some iron shots with your feet together. Just half a dozen shots each time you use a different iron on the range. It will give you feel of rotating more and help you sync your powerful lower body. 👌 Best of luck. ☺️
You're doing great Mia. Superb content. And your game has come on soooo much over the last year. Some days you play well, some days you have to just enjoy being out. That's golf. Whether you're a beginner or Nelly Korda it happens to everyone
Absolutely bloody good golf. I would take a bogie every time. Just remember that you haven't played long so be cheerful and enjoy those lovely trips abroad and the weather that goes with it xxx
Thanks for the video Mia. Loved the music. Still too much snow here for me to get on the course but I is good to see your on course vlog.I also have been working on my irons on the sim. And I have been inconsistent with them. So I know how you feel
Your game has improved so much over the past few months, you should be very proud of yourself with the improvements. Keep up the hard work and you will be scoring pars and birdies on most holes very soon and what a gorgeous course by the way 😀👍🏻
Great vlog, Mia. You're closer to "real" golf than you think for most amateurs .. yes, me included! LOL .. You'll have your good days, and you'll have your bad days, it's going to happen. Just keep in mind to try and block out the bad shots, and think a bit more positive about the next one coming up, rather than "I'm not going to make this", think "I'm going to get this one close". It does help! Keep up the grind!!!
that it wasnt lucky that you scored that well that day, its a glimpse at the potential you have to be that consistent! And it certainly drives your passion to keep going for it! When i was a 6 Handicap I needed to play at least 3 times a week to keep that going, as i get older i find that playing is better for me then practicing, i use the range for warming up and trying stuff but you need to play like 3 times a week to get consistent I think.
I've been playing this game for 25+ years now. In the last two months I've ranged from a best round of 7 under to a worst round of 87. That's why the phrase I've heard most used in golf is last time my (irons, woods, putter, or wedges) worked better.
That was a great vlog, I think it was your best that I've watched so far! Even though you struggled with the irons, your swing is looking really good....you'll definitely get there sooner than later. Work with your putter more as well, eliminate those extra putts and your scores will get lower quick!
I agree with you. You have to drive well and putt well. Equally important. That's what makes golf so challenging, hard to hit all the different clubs well for a whole round.
😂 Whoever told you The Els was for beginners was winding you up. Getting on to the greens is hard enough, making putts is harder. Bernd Wiesberger described it is being too hard. Be very happy that you finished smiling, great course Vlog.
Your awesome. Keep positive and things will continue to improve. I’m not a pro but here is my advice, less sim time with the irons. Practice irons off real grass at the range. Mats seems to cover-up bad shots (fat/thin). Second, spend more time on the golf course so your comfort level grows. Keep your expectations real and don’t worry about how other golfers are doing just focus on your own game. Best of luck.
Mia, its real golf.. most youtube golfers are already PGA pros or very low HC so don't beat yourself up. Only thing, I noticed is that, (and maybe its the camera and being in performing mode) you seem to rush your setup routine and look where the ball had gone before you hit it, even on the greens. Probably my favourite video you have done. Keep it up, well done.
Nice work though not quite the way you wanted it to go. Quite funny too! Enjoyed watching. And the camera always adds 5 strokes at least! 10 strokes on my UA-cam videos! 😄
Secret to irons. Place ball behind lowest point of swing. Keep eyes on lowest point. Decent angle equal to club bottom layed on ground at lowest point . Come down to 2.5 degrees 6 inches from ball. Good luck. Check Paul Wilson's Body Swing,"Hitting Irons Pure." Good Luck Remember 2.5 degree decent from 6 inches.
That's golf. Years ago I shot 1 over 73 with 6 birdies. Totally unconscious to everything around me and my own thoughts. After that I couldn't hit a ball to save my life for several rounds. I guess I woke up. Lol
You keep going right because you’re swing left .. what is great for a fade .. all those shots into the green would of been great if you Aimed to the left of the green 👍🏻
Love her vioce, I'd listen to her read the phone book. She reminds me a bit of Samantha Barks, doubt she can sing as well as Sam though...then again, Sam probably doesn't golf as well.
Yes, I did enjoy the video. I just think you need to take a practice swing, or two, to get the feel of the shot. Good luck with your'e adventure in golf.
Range and sim is good for working on things but you have to remember there’s no consequences if you hit a bad shot. My 2 cents worth of what I would advise is commit to playing at least 1 actual round of golf a week even if it’s just a quick 9 holes, be more confident when hitting your irons but just in general mostly as having doubt creep in might cause tension which increases the chances of a bad shot, on delicate chip shots it might help sometimes to have softer hands to help it pop up and not run out so much but that’s something you should work on at a short game range if you can and lastly the important part of golf putting, I personally think your stroke looks too much like you’re trying to caress the ball into the hole rather than stroking it with confidence and the other 2 things is work on your pace control since you left so many putts really short where you’re scrambling not to 3 putt and lastly take more time reading what the putt is going to do more to do with uphill or downhill putts. With improvements to putting you could easily wipe 5 shots off a round. If you do read this Mia please like the comment since it would make the advice feel appreciated thanks
You're out on the course, and filming while playing takes a little concentration away from the golf. I think you're doing fine. Focusing on the strike is key. Keep the great work going
Mia, a nice vlog but in my opinion get the negative thoughts out of your head. Concentrate on one swing thought. Be more positive and maybe talk through the sort rather than any negative thoughts. It looked like you were decelerating a touch on your 7 iron❤. This is golf though and if you want a confidence boost I'll take a round with you.
All your thoughts and comments are so negative! You need to be more positive on the golf course and then be strategic and constructive after the round. Stop being so negative! You are past the beginner stage now.
As a female learning golf, its great to see someone new to the game share the struggles that we are all going through.

Love your golf and how you deal with it. You play real golf like most of us. don’t let it worry you. It’s great to watch.
I'm enjoying the neurotic commentary, very English. You are saying exactly what we think when we play. Well done. 😁👍
Mia. You are doing great. Your content is relatable and entertaining. You have improved incredibly quickly, and I’m sure you’ll continue. Keep it coming please x

Love these videos of you playing solo! Soo relatable and your progress is inspiring 💗
Really, really, really well done! Good honest playing blogg. 👍☺️ Quick tip for next time on the range is to hit some iron shots with your feet together. Just half a dozen shots each time you use a different iron on the range. It will give you feel of rotating more and help you sync your powerful lower body. 👌 Best of luck. ☺️
Im pretty sure Mia is just absolutely perfect.
What a beautiful vlog you played really well with honesty and determination keep up with the vlogs really enjoyed watching 😊
You're doing great Mia. Superb content. And your game has come on soooo much over the last year.
Some days you play well, some days you have to just enjoy being out. That's golf. Whether you're a beginner or Nelly Korda it happens to everyone
You are making great progress. Keep it going. I do enjoy your happy vlogs ⛳️⛳️
Great vlog. Love your style and as a newish golfer also, its comforting to know we all have off days and have absolutely no idea why!
New to the channel, refreshing video! Attitude makes golf fun…. Not just about performance all the time anyways. Looking forward to more!
Absolutely bloody good golf. I would take a bogie every time. Just remember that you haven't played long so be cheerful and enjoy those lovely trips abroad and the weather that goes with it xxx

This was me yesterday. Oh, Mia, we would have a blast playing a round.... You still way better than me...Great Video.I love these.
Your game has improved so much over the past few months, you should be very proud of yourself with the improvements. Keep up the hard work and you will be scoring pars and birdies on most holes very soon and what a gorgeous course by the way 😀👍🏻

hahaha i loved this... Good work Mia Baker :)
The course vlog was awesome. You should do more of those. Really well edited too!

So fun! Great video
Love the video, every game is practice Mia keep plugging away as long as you enjoy it, that what brings you back time after time…..
AND... YOU ... STILL.... PLAY.... BETTER.... THAN ... ME!!!!!! You did splendid and soon the anxiousness will wear off....
That was a great vlog, I think it was your best that I've watched so far! Even though you struggled with the irons, your swing is looking really good....you'll definitely get there sooner than later.

Love the video! All golfers know the feeling 🤷🏼♂️🇸🇪
What a good golf vlog. When I grow up I wanna be just like you! :)
Easily the most relatable golfing flog I have seen. If I could subscribe again I would.
I could be having a good day I could be having a bad day. Never has a statement so accurately described golf.
Stay positive Mia - it will all come good in good time.....respect.
You’re doing great 👍 I see a huge improvement just by your course management.
😂 Whoever told you The Els was for beginners was winding you up. Getting on to the greens is hard enough, making putts is harder. Bernd Wiesberger described it is being too hard. Be very happy that you finished smiling, great course Vlog.
Your awesome. Keep positive and things will continue to improve. I’m not a pro but here is my advice, less sim time with the irons. Practice irons off real grass at the range.

Keep your expectations real and don’t worry about how other golfers are doing just focus on your own game. Best of luck.
Mia, are you taking a practice shot, to make sure your setup is spot on. I haven't seen one. Always take a practice swing! 😍
Golf has its ups and down, we all have that. Trust the process and you're practice, it will pay off in the future :)
Mia, its real golf.. most youtube golfers are already PGA pros or very low HC so don't beat yourself up.
Only thing, I noticed is that, (and maybe its the camera and being in performing mode) you seem to rush your setup routine and look where the ball had gone before you hit it, even on the greens.
Probably my favourite video you have done. Keep it up, well done.
club twirl at 12:54 was awesome
Liking the vids
Sometimes golf can bite you back , but I thought you did very well and kept a positive attitude 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice bunker shot…most would have left it in there.
You have such a nice swing….just try to hold the finish 🏌️…it helps your whole swing.
Nice work though not quite the way you wanted it to go. Quite funny too! Enjoyed watching. And the camera always adds 5 strokes at least! 10 strokes on my UA-cam videos! 😄
U play well 👊🔥
Hope you can come and play also here in Ras Al Khaimah at Tower Links Golf Club! I am your silent fan here.☺️
you're doing just fine! I have good days and bad days too I get it.
Great effort. If you are coming up to Scotland give me a shout and I can get you on to Dalmahoy just outside of Edinburgh
For the record I put with my glove on..so IMO you're all good!
Secret to irons. Place ball behind lowest point of swing. Keep eyes on lowest point. Decent angle equal to club bottom layed on ground at lowest point . Come down to 2.5 degrees 6 inches from ball. Good luck. Check Paul Wilson's Body Swing,"Hitting Irons Pure." Good Luck
Remember 2.5 degree decent from 6 inches.
If you talk about how bad you’re hitting it you’re going to hit it bad. Gotta have a positive mindset!
Do you know your distances? You chose 7 iron on both a 127 and a 142m shot?
When i have a lesson on the range,i play so much better than on the course. Not much option to practice over winter with the weather here in Scotland.
That's golf. Years ago I shot 1 over 73 with 6 birdies. Totally unconscious to everything around me and my own thoughts. After that I couldn't hit a ball to save my life for several rounds. I guess I woke up. Lol
You keep going right because you’re swing left .. what is great for a fade .. all those shots into the green would of been great if you Aimed to the left of the green 👍🏻

Yes, I did enjoy the video. I just think you need to take a practice swing, or two, to get the feel of the shot. Good luck with your'e adventure in golf.
Come to South Yorkshire and have a game with me,
Steve
Happy Valentines Day
Lexi Thompson sometimes keeps her glove on. You can.
Rotate the hip, right side move forward and left side backwards. You will hit more pure.
No need to shoot the laser when you have GPS on the cart.....Keep at it, it's fun and frustrating at the same time.
Range and sim is good for working on things but you have to remember there’s no consequences if you hit a bad shot.

Golf is difficult lol I know exactly what you mean, ,spot on 1 day and completely skull, duff and hit the ball terribly
Love yah swinging and your mouth nothing wrong with your golf u to good 👍
Never walk up or play thinking your going to duff it. And your rythem is all over the place
You're out on the course, and filming while playing takes a little concentration away from the golf. I think you're doing fine. Focusing on the strike is key. Keep the great work going
If you think you are frustrated with your irons Mia, imagine how I feel after 30 years of doing the same 😭😵😩😡
Mia, a nice vlog but in my opinion get the negative thoughts out of your head. Concentrate on one swing thought. Be more positive and maybe talk through the sort rather than any negative thoughts. It looked like you were decelerating a touch on your 7 iron❤. This is golf though and if you want a confidence boost I'll take a round with you.
Dull
Too cut!
Why are you have to be so beautiful
All your thoughts and comments are so negative! You need to be more positive on the golf course and then be strategic and constructive after the round. Stop being so negative! You are past the beginner stage now.
You need to chill! Every single golfer on the planet has had similar days... reflect, shrug and move on..
Too much negative speak. Don't even think you're going to duff. Think about hitting it square, for example. Invision good shots
Rotate your body. Swinging scared it looks to me.
stop twirling please..
