      Well great video camera work bit suspect , welcome Joe to infront of the camera nice to hear you speak more and see you play . You could take liam on with that performance, not your clubs blades first round great shooting bring Joe on show his journey. If he enjoyed your clubs and the length you need to get him a fitting as this can only improve his game . Keep safe and well golfmates

    I’d love to watch the handicap journey. Very interesting to see. Well played young man

    Awesome golf, I'm a mid 20 handicapper, would love to see how others are trying to lower their handicap because I'm totally lost

    Well done, Joe, it can’t be easy with the camera on you. It’s obvious you’ve got the makings of a really good golfer. Like me, your putting is letting you down - or perhaps it was the mini-golf putter you had to use?
