Once again thank you everyone for watching and your support! This is as real as it gets for me, and im glad you can see me at my worst too and hopefully enjoy the one liners and the fun we have!
It's easy for me to say this but I could tell you weren't quite yourself right from the start of the video. Only you know if I'm right on that but you're right, all golfers have rounds like that and truth be told, you really weren't bad, especially at the start. You have the capability of hitting the ball as well as you need to shoot in the 80's. Much like myself, the key is consistency and staying relaxed. I actually feel like I play my best when I hit the ball like I don't care where the ball goes. It's counter intuitive but it's true. Better days ahead Fents...better days ahead :)
We know you lie about your handicap for ego though 👀
@canuck_gamer3359 thanks Cannuck for watching again as always. Frustrating round in parts but I'm glad we managed to make some content fun for you all! It was just the tiredness I think, but that's understandable
Absolutely understandable Fents! You did a great job and I give you all the credit in the world for toughing it out. I always enjoy watching and seeing you guys struggle from time to time just reminds me that I'm not alone! Keep up the great work! @@FentsGolf
Don’t worry about that round pal that’s just a normal round for me 😂 u can tell by the body language on the back 9 there that u had had enough, that’s the worst part when ur playing shite is to try to keep a positive aura about you , at least u got a par mate 👏 4 rounds in 4 days 🥴 only the pros can do that , get urself a wee pint at the bar off to bed early and ul b firing on all cylinders nxt time 👍🏻🏴⛳️
It's always good to watch the both of you play golf. I have learned a lot from the both of you.
Fents makes me laugh so much. Luke you're always creased when he loses his cool as well which sets me off laughing. The bit where "he had to censor what he said then" had me giggling :D
But golf-wise Fents you have moments where you play shots SO WELL. Golf is hard, it's always fun to watch for me. Don't be hard on yourself
Haha I can't help but laugh either 😂
Thanks man, means a lot, really appreciate all the support!
keep ya chin up mate . . . gotta love golf ! Love from Oz
Thanks Brendan! Appreciate it mate 👍
This is the absolute best type of golf to watch
Cheers man, I'm glad we still managed to entertain!
Appreciate you watching!
We all have rounds like that once in a while, but you didn’t quit and that’s the important thing! Better rounds are coming! Great video!
Thanks for watching Joe 👊
Stay with it Fents! One big suggestion from a PGA pro. On all your shots, you are looking away too soon, concentrate on looking for the grass BENEATH the ball after each hit. This works especially for the putter. Also get a mallet putter with a long line on top. This will help with your alignment. I got an Odyssey two ball putter with the long white line on it. All the difference in the world.
Definitely something I'll look into trying Mark, thanks! Also have thought about trying a new putter, may be something to try if I can!
Solid advice Mark 👍
Love the videos. Keep them coming.
Cheers William really appreciate it
Thanks for watching Will!
I love watching you guys. Even on your few really bad days it is always entertaining.
Really appreciate that. So glad our fun side still comes out during frustrating rounds
Appreciate that👍
Honestly you are hitting the ball alot better the slice has nearly gone so much straighter huge improvement.
Keep up the great work mate.
Thanks for watching Matt!
Top effort to keep at it pal. We all have the bad days …. makes the better days sweeter!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Completely agree Holty, and looking back I definitely had some fun times even though I didn't play great! Thanks for watching mate
Thanks for watching Holty!
Just enjoy watching my kind of golfers. Wish I could golf with you guys. I would enjoy the golf and company
Cheers Kelly, glad you enjoy watching us!
Thanks for watching Kelly!
Well done Fents for pushing through. I have those rounds often and they are tough. Really enjoyed watching you guys play.
Thanks mate really appreciate that, it's easier to push through knowing you guys enjoy watching us!
Thanks for watching!
Nice to see you again on the course... not so easy to score ... you are so funny with the comments... Hervé
Thanks Hervé! Appreciate it 👍
We’ve all been there mate! Myself more often than I’d like 😂 onwards and upwards Fents
Cheers man! One of those days!
He'll back firing again! 👊
We've all been there mate lol, I'd say well done for sticking with it, most would have given up half way through but it's real content from a real golfer.
Appreciate that Steve!
Oh Fents... we all have them mate! So easy for the strokes to mount up. Good effort for carrying on
Cheers Matt! Just one of those days wasn't it! Onto the next one
Thanks for watching!
Great video Fents.🎉 Hang in there… its stuff out there🎉
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching
🙌
Thanks for sharing your pain - we’ve all been there (far too often in my case). As you said at the end, you were physically tired, but you could also see the mental fatigue. Once things started to go wrong your body tensed up and your swing looked stiff and stilted - I can definitely relate to that 🤬. Well done for battling through 👏
Thanks for watching Mick!
Great fun as always gents. Knock of work and peel the scab off a few cans and watch you blokes knock around is gold.
Cheers Gav, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching Gav!
Well done lads
Cheers Dave!
Thanks for watching Dave!
love it boyz. always happy when I see new content from Up and Down! Those sandy landings weren't good for Fents.
Aha they weren't! Thanks for watching 🙌
Thanks man, they were terrible today weren't they!
Great video once again from the up&down boys . Great that you are posting more videos more regularly , keep them coming .but saying that once you get back the uk you will be lucky to play 😁😁 its that grim . Dont worry fents you will be back to fight another round ...cheers lads
I've not braved it yet Barry, I am struggling with a bit of an injury at the moment so I might miss all the rubbish I hope! Thanks for watching mate
Ahh the UK is making it very difficult to get out at the moment isn't it!
Well done fents. Anything sub 110 is brilliant in my book ! Love the videos guys, real golfers !
Thanks David! 👊
Cheers David! Thanks for the support mate
That’s what my normal round looks like. Just have to remember the good shots and enjoy the outdoors
Very true!
Although he kept the obvious internal rage in check, I could see the cords in his neck tightening and a slight redness adorn his cheeks and neck. Good effort lad and excellent temper control.
Aha good eyes!
The redness is still there Kipling 😂😅
Good effort mate. We all have those days. Only takes a couple of decent shots and it's enough to make us go through the pain all over again. 😂
Fents i play that course every year on Holiday. It is punishing and you did much better than I normally do!! Great content
Thanks John, looking back it was a great experience to play there and I did have some good fun! Thanks for watching mate
Appreciate you watching John!
Well done for keeping it
together 4 rounds is tough day in day out .Have a beer . Smash the next one .Relax Fents😊
Cheers John! Better rounds to come this summer!
Thanks for watching John!
Well if your goal is to provide relatable and entertaining videos you’ve definitely done that. Keep your head up Fents. Great content mate
Cheers Karl, so happy to know it's entertaining! Thanks for the support
@@FentsGolf No problem. I’ve recently taken up golf, playing in North East England and I’m working my way through the up and down golf channel content. Golf is hard! But when you hit ‘a worldie’ it’s so rewarding. Class stuff mate.
Nailed it Karl
Love you two guys, down to earth and same as me as me at golf. Good sometimes at golf but most of the time some bloody annoying shots. Great stuff, prefer Fence vs Luke games.
Thanks John, good to know 👍
Thanks for the entertaining videos as usual - really enjoyable. Question; do you guys recommend a rangefinder? How do you calculate the distance to the pin?
Thanks Moodle! I do recommend one. I'm actually reviewing one in an upcoming video which I think is a good buy 👍
Way to keep a good attitude Fents.
Better days to come
Cheers Jeff, I hope so mate!
🙌
golf is hard but no matter what , the only think to do is have fun. well done Fents
Thanks Jeff, completely agree, always have fun
Thanks for watching Jeff!
What a battle, great effort to keep going especially on film. Cant wait for your redemption Daniel 💪
Cheers Rob!
Well done Fents for trying to be positive throughout… a very real type round for me!
He grafted well tbf to him!
Cheers John, glad it's relatable and enjoyable!
Absolutely love these videos, thank you so much! Props to Ibuprofents for sticking through a tough round!
Hahaha, love the new name! Cheers mate
@@FentsGolf Lag putting was on point! Probably needed more Limp Bizkit to get it from tee to green.
Missed a trick not pulling the Limp Bizkit card out tbf 😂
You will get it soon man just keep grinding! Putting& around the green practice will lower your score drastically 🔥
Cheers man, lots of practice through the summer I think
Thanks for watching Rollz
You’re right. We all have games like that
We still go back though don't we!
Thanks for watching!
Keep It up mate, good video even though the golf wasn't the best. I think you could do with some putter lessons/practice. Counted about 45 puts. Easy shots to get back with just 2 putts a hole and the occasional 1 putt. Easier said than done 😊
Completely agree mate, the amount of 3, even 4 putts wasn't good enough was it. My lag putting poor for the most part.
Thanks for watching though mate, really appreciate it
Thanks for watching Nigel!
We’ve all been there Fents - way to stay with it.
Cheers Brad! Thanks for the support
Thanks for watching Brad!
All the small margins went against Fents there, on a very tough looking course. Clearing a bunker only to bounce in, being within half a yard of going over the water, having an issue with a rake etc, all had a hugely detrimental effect on the round. Better outcomes there, along with a few of those putts that went within an inch or two of the hole actually dropping and it could have been a much different score.
Thanks Carl, I agree! Looking back I shouldn't have been as frustrated as I was. There was good stuff in there and fine margins! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the support
Yeah agreed Carl
Tough watch Fents but we have all been there.
Quick question - It was mentioned that you were having to speed up as there were golfers catching up. When you are filming how long does it take you both to get round?
Honestly when we are filming we don't take any longer than a normal round, because we have a buggy to get us round too. We are conscious we can't be slow and ruin everyone's rounds around us.
Playing in Europe though their tee times are stacked, and when people see a camera they automatically think we are slow, which in reality we aren't. But then we do everything we can to speed up where we can, the last thing we want is to effect anyone else's round
Thanks for watching Mark!
Well done, fents for grinding it out, doesn't work every day 👍
Cheers Paul!
Poor Mr Fents that was brutal 34 over, I feel your pain. We have all had those days, knowing we can do better keeps us coming back
Exactly Jonathan, and also knowing you guys enjoy watching us makes it worthwhile too. We'll always show honest golf!
Thanks for watching Jonathan!
As much as you slice your driver I’d turn the face in a little bit…just remember to not change your swing. Just grab the grip where it ends up after you turn it in and swing like you always do. It might cost you 10 yards but it’s nice to put the ball in the fairway…✌🏼✌🏼
It's something I definitely need to work on mate
Cheers T
Vicarious shame Fents. No worries. It will be better. Shout out you got it on camera still
Cheers for watching mate!
Thanks for watching TKLM
Unlucky mate! We've all been there.
Funny that Luke says 'Portugal is killing us!'. I do find there's a pattern that you usually do better in the UK than in Portugal and Spain. I wonder if you have you calculated your handicap in Portugal/Spain? I find greens are usually quicker, there's more water/hazards and less wide fairway holes than in UK courses. Thoughts?
I definitely agree, I think because we play so few and far between abroad we do struggle with the differences. The grass. The speed of greens, the layouts etc. It may not come across on the videos quite as much, but its a different game! Love it though and thank you for watching mate
Yeh, 100%. I think a big part of it is not being used to the speed of the greens, types of grass, etc. and a smaller part of it is that speed of greens and layouts make courses a bit more difficult.
My handicap would definitely be higher abroad, totally agree!
Luke, what drone are you using?
DJI Mini 2 👍
@@UpDownGolf ah nice! Thanks for sharing I got one as well but are afraid to use it and while playing golf and crash into the trees🤣 it has no obstacle avoidence
Not easy round,busy and with the filming must have been rushed,4 rounds on the bounce, tough days golf,enjoyed the vlog well played 👏
Cheers Jamie, yeah all factors pretty tough, but it was still a great experience to play there and make some fun content for you guys
Thanks for watching Jamie!
Driver was on fire at least! The rest will come back with knocking the rust off from winter.
I hope so mate! Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching!
Been having those rounds for the past 2 weekends 😂. Has to change at some point right
Fingers crossed Ryan, we keep at it mate!
Summer is coming mate
"I've literally watched one suck some blood out of me. God help it, because I'm not healthy!" Classic Fents 😂😂
😂
Hahaha I don't even remember saying this, but I laughed watching back
Maybe your wedges need to go up a degree too 😂 good on ya fents, we've all been there, keep swinging!
Cheers Shark! A lot needs working on this summer. Thanks for the support though!
@@FentsGolf who doesn't? Cheers from across the pond! Some of those drives were CLEAN! You've got it in the bag, just have fun!
Cheers Shark!
Hi Fents. I've said this to Luke, once before. " If you don't make a hundred then you aren't getting your money's worth." Besides, four rounds in four days will take its toll.
Cheers Richard, yeah 4 rounds in 4 days for a big lad like me is tough going!
Thanks for watching Richard!
Commiserations Fents. I can sympathise. Been There, Done That.
Thanks for watching as always Bilal! Watching back I definitely had more fun than it seems!
As have we all 🙌
Grinding is admirable, but if I were playing behind you, I would want you to card a net double bogey & pick up. Also, if Luke hits your ball, you are allowed to move it back to its original position.
Thanks Dane, if we are playing matches, or even casual rounds against each other, we will play gimmes and things like that, but when we record course vlogs like this we like to get the whole round in, so you can see a genuine round.
If we ever think we are slowing people down, or affecting their round in any way, we will do what we need to do to speed up trust me. The last thing we want to do is slow anyone down and make their round not enjoyable. At the end of the day we're all there to have a good day!
Thanks Dane, good to know 👍
Man if I played 4 rounds in 4 days it would take me a month to recover 🤪🤪🤪
Then 2 more after this haha!
😂😂
You could have move that ball back to its original spot on the green,no penalty. I think.
Good to know 👍
Had my first round in 3 years the other day. Course was completely water logged and yeah went awful. Still good laugh at myself. The way I get through it fents is remember it’s a hobby. Just laugh. We will never be pro. Keep it up.
Exactly Danny, completely agree. When I look back on it, I really enjoyed that round, some things went poorly but at the end of the day I'm playing golf with my best mates in the sun! And if you all enjoy it, then even better
@@FentsGolf yep. Easy to say just laugh but when u duff one 17 yards it’s the best medicine.
Good mentality that Danny!
Has fents tried changing his swing path? he comes over the top and hits horrible weak slices, he’s probs losing 30 yards on his drives and probs 10 yards with each iron
Over summer (you may have seen some of the Scotland videos) my swing path got a lot better and I was confident of hitting straight drives. Unfortunately I've lost that a bit and need to get it back. Thanks for watching mate
@@FentsGolf no worries pal, I didn’t mean to be negative so sorry if it came across that way.
No not at all mate, I appreciate any comments and tips honestly. Just an honest assessment of where I'm at at the moment.
Thanks for watching!
oof, 4 rounds in 4 days. yeh, even I'd be tubby bye bye by that point 😅
😂😂
dude... this greens are so damn fast, wtf?
Soooo quick!
Crazy quick, nothing like this in the UK!
Like Speedy Gonzalez!!
😢not anyone's worse round! That's why they call it golf! The word shit was taken 😅
Thanks for watching mate, one of my worst days but we had fun looking back!
Thanks for watching Matt
Wow that got to be the worst. I've see you play but fair play for carrying on least you know how a 24 handicap feels
100% Matt, I'm realistic and know it can be this tough sometimes! Thanks for watching again mate
Thanks for watching Matt
151 yard 8 iron…🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣
With how juiced his irons are, I'd hope so!
Put the driver and hybrid away and learn to use the irons otherwise you will never improve
Rough round for the lad
Portugal-Fents 1-0. Its only half time.😅
Can Fents pull it back in the second half do you think?
💪
If your ball is on the green and it gets knocked out of position by another players ball, you are to replace your ball to where it was lying before being accidentally hit.
If you did that… I would have fancied you to have holed your putt 1st time 😋
I did think that was a rule but I wasn't 100% sure, so we just played on from there. But good to know for next time, cheers mate!
Good to know Phil 👍
Fents should talk less about birdies and focus on double bogeys
Fents shouldn't talk too soon, but then it wouldn't be funny if Fents did.
😂
"english" 😅
Cant even remember doing this 😅
@FentsGolf 😅😅😅. Fun round, alot of good shots. Next round will be better.
saw that too :)
😉
Its real golf, look like a real struggle, but cant honestly see any part of your game that looks like a 14 handicapper or whatever you play off
As I think I said in the other video, I'm coming off a long break, and then going head first into really really tough courses. This was my 4th round of golf in 4 days too, and I struggled with that, as I'm sure you can imagine.
I wish I was a 24+ handicap, it'd make these videos less embarrassing and such a shit show really, but I'm honest about my game, my handicap and everything about it.
Honestly I just want to entertain all of you, and if you have a laugh at my expense, but then enjoy the good times too then I'm stoked with that.
Thanks for watching and I genuinely hope you do enjoy them
@FentsGolf I do genuinely enjoy your content, you're putting pressure on yourself trying to play to 14, I honestly think you're 18, getting 1 shot a hole would give you better stableford scores which gives you confidence , I ain't having a go just speaking from experience
@paullynskey2596 I don't disagree at all mate, and I do feel a lot of pressure trying to play at such a high level.
I really struggled on this trip, and I've also now picked up a wrist injury that's likely to keep me out for a few months, things unfortunately aren't going to get any better 😂
@FentsGolf sorry to hear that, its addictive and I'm sure you'll miss it
The man would genuinely snap your hand off for a lower handicap 😂
Let me guess next video out is showing Luke playing this course why not just show a video of you both playing cheap skates
You're not paying their bills, so what are you doing demanding anything from them? Enjoy the content and chill out
Not sure how that makes us cheap skates? There wouldn't be much appetite for a joint video over an hour long i don't think
@@UpDownGolf y'all could duff it for 2 hours straight and I'm sure most of us would watch it! But I can't imagine a golf trip to Portugal is cheap, so do what y'all need to!
We like to break up our videos so people can watch each of us and we have more content for you all to watch. I'm glad to see most people enjoy it.
As a viewer, I would prefer to have them combined into one video especially given y'all were playing together.
Do you just randomly make up the rules of golf when playing competitions too. Taking a 2 shot penalty doesn't make up for dropping the other side of a lake you could have gone into again...Jesus wept. Its bad enough competing against 20 shots without guys just making up the rules as they go...FFS
We're not playing in a competition here, we're on holiday, playing with a mate, and trying to keep up the pace of play as quick as we can so that the people behind us don't have to face slow play.
We're trying to have fun, make some fun content, not win any competitions or compete for money etc.
I think you need to take some things with a pinch of salt and take into account the circumstances around what we do.
@@FentsGolf Ye, but, you've done it previously in a competition where you went out of bounds iver white stakes and didn't bother going back to the tee. That one where you were in the hunt. The rules are sacracant. Learn the rules. I'm tired of blokes making up rules as they go
czcams.com/video/4I4ka3Vc6p0/video.htmlsi=lGVakQOdH45RSi9N This series, same thing in competition. Just play by the rules bud
@christopherbyrne18 any rules that we haven't followed to a tee are just genuine mistakes. It would be pretty daft of us to genuinely cheat or break rules, while filming and putting on the Internet for the world to see.
I'm not perfect with rules, and if anyone I'm playing with, watching our videos or at the course can help during times when the rules need stringently following then I'm happy to take that advice.
If that mistake i/we made during that competition had of put me through and stopped someone else progressing I'd have held my hands up and let the next person progress, and I hope that would come across with how I come across on the videos
I believe Christopher was going for “sacrosanct “
