I saw the thumbnail and gave it a wide birth! Sounds as though the correct decision was made!

Yeah I've stuck this on the 'watch later' list but have my reservations, as I never actually watched Soccer AM, and the video he did previously with Lovejoy was annoying. I don't think he's on this video, but I don't particularly like Fenners either! Maybe leave Soccer AM in the past.

At least they went to Hampton Court which is flat and wide open. If they had done the video at somewhere like St Mellion, they'd still be playing.Yeah I've stuck this on the 'watch later' list but have my reservations, as I never actually watched Soccer AM, and the video he did previously with Lovejoy was annoying.

A very dull and uninspiring course though. Hampton Court that is. The old course at St Mellion is a good track but the Nicklaus is just brutalAt least they went to Hampton Court which is flat and wide open. If they had done the video at somewhere like St Mellion, they'd still be playing.

Probably why they played there, like when they took Fenners to Sandown Park.
Where I learned to play golf. A week of lessons in the school holidays at Sandown Park and then onto the par 3 and finally the 9 hole course

The only thing I've learned at Sandown Park is how to lose money!

Is it wide open? Seen it once and it looked rather grassy with lots of long stuff around. A place where I would lose lots of balls. They were taken out of Crown Golf so I did never got around to play it, even though my then neighbour is a member there.At least they went to Hampton Court which is flat and wide open.

It is this time of year before any real rough has grown.
As above. Very much like Richmond Park (public courses just down the road). Ideal for the standard of golfers on display

Had a quick 30 min watch
It was an absolute mess editing wise I and It’s got potential though but there was a lot going on and was trying to be a YouTube vid and Broadcast at the same time which just made it a messy watch at the start
hasn’t hit the mark with the social feeds (well my heavily golf weighted algo) all I seen after pga creator classic was clips of Trent at 17 and Horvat holing the putt for the win at Sawgrass. But then it’s an iconic hole and obviously helped think the only clip that’s appeared on my reels was Trump landing
Hard to believe Wesley’s a PGA tour winner at the minute that lad is struggling

Back in the day, it was required viewing with Lovejoy & Hells Bells but that day was 20+ years ago and probably hasn't aged that well

First time posting on this thread.
Been watching Iona Stevens on her YouTube channel. She's a great broadcaster and interviewer, plus a very good golfer!
I watched her with Dan Walker playing 9holes and, what a player, I think she hit every fairway and carries her drive 230 yds plus. In the end shot level par. They had some lovely banter and chat along the way. Love the way she talks you through every shot and does it in such a way that it doesn't become boring.
And the interview with Dan at the end was a really good listen.
And what a genuine nice guy Dan is, no hang ups and the sort of guy to enjoy a round of golf with including sharing a drink in the clubhouse after.
Also watched her putting lesson with Brad Faxon and nine holes with Wayne Riley, both a good and entertaining watch.
So I'm now a big fan of Iona's you tube channel, well worth a watch.

Yeh he is. Watched him play with Jason Day and he was all over the place. Like really struggling to keep the ball in play. I think Day felt a bit awkward at times.
Was lucky enough to meet and interview him at the British par 3 and he is exactly as he seemed on Iona's video. Very generous with his time and very nice personFirst time posting on this thread.

Just finished watching it. It was ok, enjoyable. Could’ve been a lot better but i think it was rushed out to catch the wave. Decent viewing though.
Don’t like the cr*p about Trump, big turn off for me.
From what I could pick up, it was incredibly slow. The first group mentioned they’d been waiting 40 minutes for the second group to catch up, or something like that. Surprised it wasn’t a shotgun start in keeping.
Interesting that they’ve put Wesley Bryan and DJ together, both players really struggling for any sort of form.

The “muppets” are back 
Almost like OG but OTT without Rory and Bazza to balance them off a bit.

Spent 2 hours this morning watching rick shiels 'major' comp (round 1of2) from Prestwick
Never really seen the course before, surprised how many blind shots there was
Wont add a spoiler since its new content but will say it was interesting how their personalities came through in their own game, the more the round progressed
edit: Oh and I've still no idea what 'OG' stands for
