So many solid golf channels on here but yours remains my favorite, it’s so relatable man! Love the Bucket List series, keep this in the content rotation!
Hi Dennis, can I just say thank you, there are too many pro YT videos who get upset about not breaking par, but you give us a video that is the most honest & relatable I’ve ever seen. Thanks mate. Keep them coming!
Those first two shots would have me out of sorts for the rest of the day. Watching you battle back with a smile is something I can learn from. Your subscribers appreciate that the most. Keep working. You're close to the consistency you are looking for. These courses are tough. Thanks for bringing us along.
Newish viewer here! I love watching this because it feels genuine! I'm posting this after you missed that short putt on 3! Lets go baby, lets break 100!
Another banger Dennis, I love watching yourself and Luke's channel. I reckon you should get a handicapped major series going with Fents, Luke and Zach from Golf Days. My favourite youtubers all in one!
Always great relatable golf, admire the way you handle the “bad days “ you can have on the course! Sometimes you just have to laugh about the bad shots and move on to the next one!
This is the golf we all experience. Well done for seeing it through to the end with a smile. Is there any other game where we suddenly forget how to play? We don’t suddenly forget how to kick a football or make a rugby tackle, but sometimes we stand over that golf ball and it’s like it’s the first time we’ve ever tried to swing a club 🤬 And still we come back for more! 😂
Strong Work Dennis, and way to keep an exemplary positive attitude. And it’s just the video I needed to see. Just in my second season of golf ever and shot my best round of a 107 last week and this week I blew up a 65 on the front 9 that was just devastating ; so I hoped on the executive par 3 course to refocus and dial things back in. But spot on, just gotta be nice to myself and remember that this is how this game goes. Back to the range this week to sort out some swing issues.
Loving the intro and the new logo, course looks in fantastic condition too. If it makes you feel any better my most recent first tee shot bounced off the forward tee marker!
Fantastic lag putting Dennis! I’m jealous of your speed control. Also: I think you’re spot on when you diagnosed your pull. Right before you said it, I noticed you spinning your hips before your downswing. Keep grinding! Loved the round. Great back nine!
@@BogeyGolfUK preaching to the choir! I know I need to do better moving my weight forward on the downswing (and do it beautifully on my practice swings) but it’s so hard for me to do when I’m actually hitting the ball. Frustrating.
Dennis! Hole two you said out loud "damage limitation" and then hit 3 wood out the rough 😂 7/6 iron get it back in play. Chip and a putt. Great video pal as always.
You have such great potential, your good strikes are professional shots. I can tell when you're going to hit a bad one as your back swing/take-away looks very contrived, paralysis by analysis, I do the same ! loosen your grip to relax your arms and turn in the follow-through it really helped me. Love your channel and can't wait for that break-through round!
I really think you could benefit from leaning some Way of the Playa from golf sidekick especially on days where you aren't playing your best. Only hit the clubs you are confidential in and manage your way around the course. Doesn't matter if you are on or near the green in 3 on a par 4 u can 2 putt bogeski and sometimes save par
If it was a tournament or something I would definitely revert to irons only, but I have to fight my demons with the woods and driver because i spent all last summer hitting pretty much irons only for this same reason 😂
I am a 25 handicap so I feel your pain. Your round looked mine two weeks ago but last week I hit under 100. Crazy game. Keep at it Dennis:) You had some really difficult shots out of the rough.
Try using your favourite club "8 iron' for chipping around the green there is no need for loft when chipping unless you have a bunker in the way I always use my 8 iron now for short chips
@@BogeyGolfUK Had the same problem so I replaced my standard Wilson 8 iron with a Wilson launchpad2 8 iron with it's large sole makes chipping a doddle Tmade do a similar club !
Ive been lucky enough to also play fulford once and what a place... Unbelievably hard though!!! Glad to see the smile remained throughout! Would love to collab one day if you have time!
reminds me of my old club Aldenham, tree lined any thing not on fairway was a bogey at best, I did play off 13 in my 40s neatly got there in my 60s but back to 24 we play a similar game
Dennis! Hole 10, when you said "we're going to trust our hands and go upstairs with this one" I was like 😯 You need to listen to Golf Sidekick - Get It On The Green (which means anywhere on the green, not at the pin) - you were aiming at the pin over the bunker, when you should've been aiming away from trouble, to the left of the bunker. If you hit your shot you're putting, and if you chunk it, you're chipping from greenside, and not in the bunker.
@@BogeyGolfUK thanks for the entertaining and relatable round! I don't think you played that badly considerinng the course. I only noticed this one because I've done something similar, just chunking it into the bunker when I had lots of safe green a few yards to the left, then taking multiple strokes to get out of the bunker.
Can't be easy giving commentary and filming while playing .Hat's off you produce great content very entertaining.We know you can launch em,better days ahead.
Really enjoyed that - as ever. I’ve left my driver in the bag recently and have been hitting clean 4 and 5 hybrids off the tee. Much less stress and much better scoring. Just a thought! Will you make it up here to Scotland any time soon?
good content keep it up Dennis! keep grinding mate it will come! consider doing stableford challenges so the bad holes are a blob (no score) and can just move on ! the challenges can be like “Can I make 30 points in stableford?” 2-man scrambles to break par would also be fun! anyway, youll be back to breaking 95 in no time ! 💪🏼
Great video, nice to watch someone play our course. It’s a slog when you’re not playing well but feels great when you smash it. Can’t believe you didn’t hit driver on 11 😂 did you get 230 all day? 😉
Had a few too many hole ones myself recently 😂 its annoying feeling like your chasing a score straight off the first hole! Doesnt look like it affected you though, well in!
I can relate. I played recently, started with 3 bogies, then 3 pars 🎉 and then 3 quadruple bogies 🤬 - I have no idea what happened apart from me getting a bit cocky after the first 6 holes. 🙄
It’s just golf ain’t it I never made a par until 6 holes in yesterday and tbh I thought it was going to be like it all the way round I was scoring heavy but the wrong sort of heavy 🤣🤣
I'm a high handicapper too, so far be it from me to give anyone pointers. FWIW, I would just like to point out something I noticed. On your full iron shots in at least the first half of this round, there were lots of instances where during your backswing, the angle of your back went way more vertical than during other shots. You seemed to stand up during your backswing. On your good shots, the angle of your back seemed to stay consistent throughout the backswing. Check out 23:52 as an example.
ignoring my last 2 rounds, the three prior to that were 82, 101, 78. - depending on the course and the day you can play such different golf from one round to the next. 🙈😅
I don’t know about anyone else here, but I’m a big advocate of leaving the 3 wood when I’m way back and playing PW twice. Much more likely to stay safe and get on the green vs risking having to scramble after a wayward 3 wood. Thoughts?
@@BogeyGolfUK lol, I’m not trying to be a smart ass, but I played a ‘3 club and a putter’ round, so was forced into this tactic and I dropped 20 strokes.
@@kenirving5240 I totally respect it. I think im less bothered about scoring to that degree. Theres no better feeling than hitting the wonder shot a couple times a round for me 🙌
I think you done yourself out of a couple of shots on that scorecard. Should have been a 103? Great round nonetheless. My golf is similar to yours. Can’t get consistent off the tee or with my irons yet. I’m getting close to breaking 100 but not there yet.
I’m not sure if it’s the camera angle but it appears you’re lining up wrong in some shots. From what it looks like you’re aiming to the right of the target and hitting the ball where you’re aiming. Not trying to be critical. Just an observation
@@BogeyGolfUK mate, apart from you being 30 years younger and several stone lighter, I can see myself playing watching you 😂 practice swing is lovely and then a totally different bloke takes over

Well keep plugging away bro! Thank you
Raw, relatable golf, that's what makes it fun to watch! You and Luke have a good energy playing together. Beautiful course, btw!

@@BogeyGolfUK5 strokes off! Or 6 if you count 99 as breaking 100. Either way, there’s a ton of good contact in the video, a little work and you’re 95!
Leave the 3 wood in the bag Dennis. Take a 7 iron and another lower iron for damage limitation mate.
Yeah that’s sensible advice in fairness

Congratulations on the the little one! I know the feeling of the midnight feeds, I’m glad I could help 💪😂
You battled well on a tough course Dennis- keep smiling friend-great video.
Thanks brother!
Really admire your attitude and positivity - makes for a very entertaining video and great encouragement for a similar handicapper...thanks

fwwwwaaarrr, just looked at the green fees for that course - some serious bling being spent there Dennis 🤑🥵😯🤑

Yeah very true!
You film at Fulford and no mention or film of the " Langer tree" ?
Dropped the ball there! Too busy trying to find my swing 😂
It does seem to me ( but far from an expert 😊) when you speed your backswing up you hit purer shots , never give up and keep smiling ❤

I use a Panasonic X2000 and Adobe to edit 👍 thanks for the love 🙌
Been a few weeks since I’ve seen a video. What happened to the trusty 2 iron?
I started enjoying my 3 Wood so it’s sitting at home currently. 3 wood is a little more versatile for me
Brother as a 20 handicapper myself. Take the flag out for short putts at the least. Mentally it makes a difference and the hole feels bigger.
Yeah it’s a good shout to be fair 🤝
