I played my first round of golf at a real golf course! Check out this course vlog as I share my experience of jumping into the deep end and getting some on-course experience. [SCROLL DOWN FOR COURSE REVIEW]
Do you remember your first round?
I wanted to record my round shot-by-shot, but had a group who were held up in front of me by the group in front of them, followed by a group behind me. The pressure was on! The first shot off the tee was probably the worst of the round 😂 Most of the additional strokes over par were from miss hits, nerves and poor focus. Many of those were duffs on the fairway and poor shots off the tee. I did hit a ball into the water off the tee on the 7th hole, which was the only lost ball 🙂
When I managed to relax and just "swing the club", hit some good ones and felt my putting went very well, with so many almosts. I almost had a birdie on the 5th, then lost a bit of focus and ended up with bogey.
The exciting part of this 9 hole round is knowing that I could easily turn some of those doubles to bogeys and potentially even a par or two.
Feeling fired up for 2021.
⛳️ LEARNING GOAL =Get some on course experience
I wanted to get some experience on a real 9 hole golf course, to benchmark my skills for the year to come and put what I had practiced at the range to a true test.
⛳️ LEARNING RESULTS
Having nerves going into a shot and putting too much pressure on yourself when standing over the ball is a certain way to hit a bad shot. I played my best shots when I relaxed, took some deep breaths and didnt put too much pressure on the shot at hand.
Confidence will come, it just takes time and practice!

📍 COURSE REVIEW
A great course in excellent condition. The greens where immaculate and played wonderfully. The fairways were looked after and well drained. You could tell that the groundskeepers took pride in their course. For just £15, this is fantastic value for money! Some challenging holes, water hazards, good bunker placement and ending in a long par 5. This course would be great fun for any level player.
