    Turnberry holds a special place in my heart. My baby girl was made there! ❤️❤️❤️
    I remember watching Tom Watson lose there few years back and was really inspired to play it, me and the missus came up for a weekend in the hotel and I played golf on both courses. They had a piper outside the hotel at night playing bagpipes, it was beautiful. Then 9 months later my baby girl came along. I'll always love that place now 😊

    It's from the 6th hole that the course really begins to come amazing. Every hole from here is fantastic.

    Great vlog Andy, you picked a good day ! Like you, I love links golf. When I started playing 29 years ago, once I got an ok handicap, I wanted to play a few Open courses. Played 8 to date, Turnberry as it was 20 years ago. The 9th was a par 4 then, the first a shorter 4. Today it looks better, the 9th looks fantastic. With me, I'm sure it is with you, it's a spiritual round of golf, following the greats in history. Same at Gleneagles, Crail and North Berwick. Playing these great courses is a wonderful experience that you capture perfectly. Your best work yet, be proud. Good bunker shots too mate 😉👍

    Was an absolute privilege to be a junior member at Turnberry. Went back last year to play and can honestly say the improvements are simply magnificent. The Average Golfer will struggle to justify the HUGE green fees though and won’t get the chance to enjoy the experience unless you decide to remortgage, but playing with PXG so I assume it isn’t an issue for ye! 😂
    You were truly blessed with the weather Andy pity I never experienced that the years I was there😂🙈
    Love the new content mucker 👍🏻

    Great film Andy. My wife and I were at the Ladies British open when “The Don” arrived in his helicopter - circled the course really low and put
    Half the field off before landing in front of the Hotel - it’s one of those courses that are just so much better when you walk it isn’t it.

    I hope its stays off the Open rota until the ownership changes. Not one for me, the people in Aberdeen were treated awfully to force them out. Maybe soon under difference ownership it will be back as an Open venue but not before.

    "Don't go left." Your mind doesn't know negative words like don't. What it heard was "Go left." Always express positive thoughts on the golf course. A beautiful course I'm sure i will never get to play. I have played TPC Sawgrass though. Always enjoy your vlogs.

    I won a FedEx invitational at the belfry and the prize was two rounds at Alisa and the Kintyre. This was when it was a Westin hotel.
    Rocked up far too late on the first tee, shirt hanging out, no practice. Creamed it just short of the green. There was three foursomes waiting for me to hit, and it felt good. Great course, loved the hole where you play along a valley, slight dog left, number 6 I think it was. The Alisa is a class course.

  • @brucecrouch802
    @brucecrouch802 Před 4 lety

    Played it 2.5 years ago. It was driving rain and blowing at about 25 knots and cold. Got to first tee and was straight into the breeze, didn’t even make the fairway....🤦‍♂️ A very very good track and a fair test, just way too good for me on that day. The scenery is spectacular.
    It was a pleasure to play but I must admit I preferred Carnoustie, Birkdale, Portrush, Lytham and St Anne’s, The Old Course, Troon, County Down and my all time favourite Dornoch.
