  • This is a 9-hole course vlog - Well 8 actually as one of the holes didn't film correctly. The footage was lost.
    It's a practice round for me before I go play forest of Galtres in York on Weds and Thurs at Dewsbury golf club.

    Follow the two huge Monty Python fans ( Hence the name - big nose golf ) as we travel around the UK and film our rounds to show some real golf and some lovely course

    Can't see how you are such a high handicap, you hit solid long drives, your chipping is very good and the putting was good as well. Those greens looking horrible though anyone would have difficulty as they didn't look much different than the fairway!

      Thanks. I have no distance that’s the issue. Long par 5 and par4s kill me. I practice my chipping and putting a lot. Since filming this I’m now 17hcp

    In all fairness, I've seen shag carpeting in old trailer parks that was smoother than those greens. Your swing actually looks good. Nice and smooth. You're just playing in a cow pasture.

    Any course that gets people out playing golf is great in my book but those greens were not ideal to say the least. Thought you did well considering. What clubs do you currently use? No idea what you hit or your financial status or desire to upgrade but your actual ball striking seems great but distances seem a bit short so wonder if some stronger lofted distance type irons would benefit?

    • @bikemadcarl
      @bikemadcarl  Рік тому

      Great points. Wilson d300 irons which are 5 years old. I’m seeing bigger distance now my swing is improving. I’d like to get fitted but waiting for all my lessons to settle in and find a consistent swing pattern. I don’t want to get fitted then change my swing which alters my club fitting

    • @greglynch230
      @greglynch230 Рік тому +1

      @@bikemadcarl yeah I had the same worries but eventually got to thinking that as I always want to try to improve my golf and with that comes swing or technique changes no matter my handicap that I could easily end up in a position where I am always waiting for that next improvement before I buy new irons then never get to it as I am always changing, tweaking and improving.
      I think the good thing these days is there are a lot of great irons you can use from a higher handicap all the way down to upper single digits. The biggest different between super game improvement and players distance for example is head shape, top like and ability to shape the shot vs more forgiveness but even then, there is no reason you couldn’t use a super game improver as a lower handicap.
      Given your ball striking I don’t see why you couldn’t go for a more forgiving players distance iron or a game improvement distance iron and keep it for a long while.
      But again, it’s your game and your bag so you need to do what feels right for you. As you said, lessons and practise will do more for your score than clubs will.

      @@greglynch230 you’re right with the thought that you’re always waiting to improve. I did that with lessons. Silly as it seems I wouldn’t get them until I was better at golf. Which is weird thought process. I will invest in new irons soon. I might do I fitting video ?
