CAN WE WIN AGAIN!? 2023 winners! Course Vlog
Tried it, like everyone says ,G. P. 9 sky high 8 thru 5 ok but 2 clubs shorter , so giant gap between 5 and hybrid, was no benefit for me.
Similar to me Terry.
I've just got 3 new wedges in my bag, I had my 46 tweaked to 48 and now I know how he did it. Was good to see you at Paignton Zoo last week 🙂
Was nice to meet you at Paignton Zoo, hope you had a good break Roger.
I love the loft and lie machine. In a sport that’s all about modern technology there’s no substitute for a good old metal bar and a bit of brut force. 💪🤣⛳️
Absolutely Dave 😂
1000 pounds for a Lie angle tool? I like to work on my own stuff but it looks like I'll stick to replacing grips. 😀 You know you are actually a pretty good teacher.
Yeah the machine isn’t cheap but it’s what you need if you are doing repairs at a golf club Bob. For recreational purposes it’s a bit extreme 😂
👍
Thanks for watching Mark
Would love to be able to justify a loft and lie machine in the garage. Build the one length set during the winter, you can stretch that to 3 or 4 videos at least. Identifying and buying the irons, sourcing the shafts and grips and prep work, the build and finally ‘the test’.
I like that idea Stuart! Thanks!
@@berniebarnesgolf I was looking a couple of months ago for myself after watching one of your videos. I thought I’d found a decent set for it. The Maxfi Revolutions. They were about £90 from Golfclubs4cash but they’d gone when by the time I added them to my basket and gone through the process of checking out.
I remember those clubs! They would have been easy to bend!
Really interesting about flattening wedges and how to do it - I really need to do some testing on my wedges as I often get a left shot with mine. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work.
Cheers John! It certainly made a difference to me. Worth checking out especially if you have a left miss with the wedges.
Informative Cheers
Thanks for watching Peter
Because of my suspect delivery my clubs are bent 2° upright 1 1/2° open. Brings my strike more centered
Having the correct lie angle makes a massive difference to strike Brian.
Interesting. Ewell done
Thanks for watching Colin
love these videos, I can see my future man cave filling up with club building equipment....question about bending cast heads, do you find they eventually return to their original shape over time or will it be permanent? reason I ask is I had my Wilson Staff driving iron bent one-up because I was losing it a bit right, and that worked fine initially, but over time it seems to be leaking right again (which of course could be my swing changing shape but I'm ignoring that for now 😉)
I mean that is a possibility that it has returned to its starting lie angle. I’d say it’s more likely to change lie angles if the club is forged as it’s easier to move. It’s a one minute job to check your lie angle of the club.
Bernie, you piqued my curiosity about what it would look and sound like if a club broke while being bent, lol.
I’ve nor actually snapped one mate unbelievably 😂
Nice1 Bernie very educational FairPlay buddy.
Cheers Will!
@@berniebarnesgolf no problem buddy. You need to get washy out on a Christmas special again this year.👍🏻👍🏻 Or a Halloween special.
😂 as soon as the course goes quieter I’ll get washy out I promise.
@@berniebarnesgolf nice1 Bernie 😂
Extremely impressed with the choice of music track Iona, quite probably the best British artist for the last 10 years. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😂 thought you would like it 😂
Totally relatable to me Lester. I’m in my 50s now, was quite the athlete in my day. Have come across a couple of bigger health issues over the past years. Nothing life-endangering, but serious enough anyway. My golf will probably never be painfree anymore unfortunately. Trying to get at peace with that at the moment. Its more of a mental thing now.
I’m sorry to hear that Raja. I feel some days I try and protect the areas I have issues with, even on days I’m relatively pain free, which has a negative effect on my golf.
Interessant stuff Barnie!
Thanks for watching Raja.
Really informative and well illustrated video Lester. How is the arthritis? Stay safe.
Thanks David! My feet aren’t bad at the moment, hoping it’s all manageable. Thanks for asking.
Very much enjoyed this, thank you Lester, learnt something new….👍
Glad you enjoyed it Graham.
Static. Dynamic. CZcams algorithm. Feet.
Thanks Brian. Appreciate the comment.
Great video Lester very interesting
Cheers Mick!
Good video Lester, if I ever make over to the UK, I’d love to buy you a beer !!!
I’m up for that mate! Love a beer!
I seem to learn something new every video you put out with reference to club repairs.
Thanks Andrew, anything else you want to see?
Interesting to see the process - I am sure that (for those who use driving ranges) that over time the lofts etc are affected, but the average golfer never thinks of having these checked !
I would recommend getting them checked every year Martyn or buy new clubs 😂
Evening all
Evening Kev!
I use standard Lamkin standard crossline grips. I would be interested in some grip reviews; as I’m never sure if they make a huge difference from brand to brand if they’re the same or similar specs. Thanks for the lie info, I always forget that lie is different with each manufacturer.
I’ll definitely do some grip videos! I have a few experiments that I’ve always wanted to do as well!
Nice round. Tough tight course by the looks of it. Just need to dial in your approach shots and you’ll be under par next time. Would like to see a blog at Teignmouth as it is looking really nice at the moment 👍
I’ll contact teignmouth in the next weeks (when they are less busy) to see whether I vlog the course Russell.
@@berniebarnesgolf awesome. Less busy after next week on. Looking forward to it. Great channel in the makings Bernie👍
Thanks mate. I do really like the course.
A good round, Bernie. Well done.
Thanks for watching Dave! Need to eliminate the silly mistakes.
Bernie, that was not a bad round
Cheers Colin, I was pleased overall with it.
Another great video Bernie. 👍🏻👍🏻 nice course FairPlay
Cheers Will! Was pleased with the round.
@@berniebarnesgolf no problem buddy, yeah was a good round FairPlay
Lots of "decent" shots - all of which are better than most of my best :)
Thanks Andy.
Amputation would cure it ! (I will bring my saw to St Malo in October.) 🙂
Probably would David 😂 see you in October.
As always a refreshingly honest and open video, thank you Lester. Sorry I’ve no thoughts on supplements/diet. However, we start every Pilates session with rolling a spikey ball under each foot - seems to help - a tad uncomfortable though.
I am going to look into some Pilates sessions Jonathan as a few people have suggested that.
Nice couple of videos Bernie. You were playing well in the main and that 2 iron is majestic in your hands. I do like Stover, but haven’t played it since the changes. Definitely a course I’d like to revisit after watching this series. 👍
Thanks my friend. Stover is definitely worth a revisit!
Not on your best today but you did ok Stover not one of my favourite courses 👍
I was pleased with the score Garry considering I had that 7 and it was good practice before the event.
Looks like a tough tight course and if I played it would find it very hard as dont carry anything above a 6 iron and then hybrids, so would not have your skill with long irons. Good score from you Bernie
Cheers David. It’s not a long course, but every shot requires full concentration as you say it’s tight!
Well played Lester, +4 with a triple is good going. Really enjoyable vlog again and I do like seeing a 2 iron being hit!! Keep up the great work.
Cheers John. I’m not sure why I took the 2 iron out the bag 😂
Anyone complaining that the gapping is an issue with one length does not swing it fast enough to have a 5 iron or possibly even 6 iron that is the length of a 7 iron. Quote from singlelength.com: "Choosing the configuration of a single length set is primarily based on your swing speed. In a single length set, hybrids serve the purpose of making the low-numbered irons easier to get up in the air at the shorter 7-iron length, and the slower your swing speed the more hybrids you need to integrate into the set. Here is a guideline based on 5 iron swing speed. 85mph+ no hybrids needed 80-85 mph #4 hybrid 75-80 mph #4-5 hybrids 70-75 mph no 4, #5 hybrid 65-70 mph no 4, #5-6 hybrids 60-65 mph no 4, #5-7 hybrids" etc. etc. below 55 mph they recommend all hybrids
Are you still using the Frankenstein Nike irons? Have you binned the driver 😂
I only used the Nike irons for a couple of weeks and I still have the driver, but don’t hit it much and no one hits driver at stover, it’s too tight Brian 😂
Keep it up, Bernie!
Thanks Scott.
Your 2 iron must be exhausted after that round! 😀 Overall well played Lester! Seeing you hit that bunker shot after you chunked the chip made me think, too bad you can’t trick yourself into chipping/pitching like you’re in a bunker because the bunker swing is very smooth. Keep grinding Lester, we’re all here to support and cheer you on!
I would say I’m generally a really good bunker player Tyler and an area I’ve improved this year too. I know exactly what you mean with the swing 😂 in positive news I didn’t hit a pitch / chip like that in the 3 rounds I played that weekend.
@@berniebarnesgolf That’s great to hear! Yeah your bunker swing would make for nice flop shots if you could trick your mind into thinking it’s just a bunker shot. The mental game is definitely more than half the battle out on the course!
Evening mate .
Evening Kev
Sorry, Bernie will be unsubscribing so many golf channels now on CZcams, so I need to be very selective with my time. I wish you all the best.
No need to apologise. Thanks for the support over the last 18 months Kev.
@@berniebarnesgolf it costs nothing to give a like and subscribe what a 😳
Hi Bernie. I work in the rehab sector. I would consider getting a second opinion beyond your gp to check that there is not an underlying reason rather than just osteoarthritis because you are pretty young to have that simply through wear and tear. There has been a lot of development in injection treatment beyond the cortisone injections that used to always be prescribed. They can be a bit pricey but I have had great results from hyaluronic acid injections and especially plasma injections.
I think I will and I think I need to do some more research on the subject.
The Trusty 2 iron getting a good airing, good to see. Enjoyed both vlogs Lester, thanks for the content, some good shots in there, well played.
Thanks Andrew! The two iron is a good summer addition! Thanks for watching the vlogs.
You were hitting that 2 iron well just a couple of putts and that chip let you down. Keep it going Lester
Cheers Richard and thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed both vlogs Sir Lester, as I’m a member at Stover. Suffice it to say, nothing like your majestic level of golf. Always a picturesque walk though. Keep the improvement going.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed both vlogs! It’s a beautiful course, you are very lucky!
I've been using the entire Eleven set for about 3 months. I'm about 5 strokes down and am having a blast playing again. I actually love looking down on them, confident that I'm going to hit it well. Buying these clubs is the best golf decision I've made in years.
Love that Bill! They are definitely a decent bit of kit and can benefit many!
Striping that 2 iron like a Pro. Who needs driver. Couple of wayward iron shots, but, playing well.
Cheers Andrew. It’s not really a driver course, it’s so tight!
I don't remember seeing your 2-iron recently, though it makes sense on this course. You're playing well; just need a good break here and there (like your putt on #9) to improve your scoring. Thx for the course vlog (the intro was great)!
I put it back in the bag at the start of the summer mate, wasn’t hitting the 7 wood much.
Yeah, lofted fairway woods aren't for everyone, me included.
It seemed to make a difference in the winter, so it may return as the higher flight helped.
great looking course good stuff Bernie
Thanks Mick! The new improvements have made a massive difference to the course / club.
