Ron lost several shots where he simply hit too long and straight, and a few where there was too much razz. This is the very definition of *a good player out of luck* so well played, Ron. You've still got a 69 in your future.
Ron I hope when you become the number 1 golf youtube channel in the world you remember the little guys like me that love and watch all your stuff hehe you're going straight to the top mate. keep up the great work !! 👍👏
What a Blast to discover Ron playing this amazing course. Welcome to my golf world. Imagine now walking the course in windy conditions!! Amazing content mate
Well done Chops you certainly nailed it when you said it's a great course played there and it's tough, the view from the club house is pretty spectacular as well.
What an amazing looking course! Guaranteed id be hitting triple digits! Great round on such a tough course bud! Awesome content, keep em comin!!! 🤟🇨🇦🇨🇦🤟🍻🍻🍻
Just happened to come accross this , was in Melbourne and Portsea last week. Played this course back in 1993! I think. Is this the Robert Trent Jones Junior designed course? The best golf course I ever played in without a doubt, 7th hole was unforgetable !. Scored triple digits at the time but didnt care it was just so beautiful, scenary and the course design, fairways are like greens in other courses, bunkers cut into the fairways and greens so immaculately. Great content Ron, camera work gave a good sense and feel for the course. I subscribed. Keep it up. Another old man subscribing…unfortunately for you….
Good stuff Ron, quirky no nonsense golf and aussie humor to boot. My first video watching you and may i say the first you tube golfer i have seen who lays the flag stick down as i do, gently using the putter. I approve. We can hang out.
Hey Ron, feel blessed to have found your content. I’m a member down here and it seems you were blessed with the weather. You don’t see a calm sunny day like that often. Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the course. Hey Ron I just brought a new cart with an Electromagnetic Automatic park brake so next time your in Queensland I'll let you use it as you seem to keep having problems with the park brake hahaha
Great watch. Words can't describe the old course experience. The place is just special. Views are spectacular and the course layout and conditioning will blow you away. ... At the same time it will bend you over and have its way with you... . It will expose every weakness in your game and make you pay... And you will be happy about it... ecstatic even. Just dont be dumb enough to walk it... 😉
I actually did a LOL with that first putt on 3 but then realized I’ve had putts where I’ve putted off the green and then had to chip so…all in all a pretty good round on a tough track with spectacular views. 👊
I cant believe how lucky you were with the wind, the average day down there is a 2-3 club wind. Ive played there when we've had to hit 2-3 irons into number 7 from the back tee. Breaking 80 on those days is like shooting 63 anywhere else lol! Its one of if not the best course Ive ever played, and its not alone in that part of the world...
That's a great 2 putt on 6, years of putt putt can prepare one for that. The greenside bunker on 2 is the size of a small house. I hope you played Moonah course legend.
And they reckon Oak Hill is hard? Shit the bed this track looks tough as nails. Good work on the par 3's ha ha. Par on 17 was outrageous. Only content where I watch all the way to the end so I can listen to the music and sing along. Onwards Ron!
Some great golf there what’s your handicap +? I was just in Melbourne and seems average joking fee is 10k and look what you get compared to Sydney, pretty impressive royal Melbourne the Victorian and Sandringham so close and Yarra Yarra not far, amazing and Sandringham is public and it’s mint ❤
Watching this before I play this morning. I suppose I'll need to wear my Ron Chopper shirt for luck. Or do I run out of luck wearing it? I'm confused on the rules here.
Looks like you got the full Old experience here. You will get some great views, birdie chances, and occasionally stabbed in the face for no good reason (eg. The 8th). You walked the tightrope pretty well.
Quick Question: Why do people use range finders when you can use like i have - Garmin S60 and its all on your watch? It keeps score and all sorts of other crazy useful data. And you cant leave it in your cart. I dont get it.
You know your luck is out when the only people who message you is middle age men!. When you get to number one in the world on you tube, I reckon you will have at least two lady followers by then!
Hey Ron... great content keep it up... But I have to say that the National is not the hardest course in Oz... maybe close for the mainland courses, but until you have played at Cape Wickham,.. you have not had a real test.. Barnbougle and Lost Farm are tough and really tough in bad weather ie: a lot of the time... While Cape Wickham is super tough from the Tips and almost unplayable in bad weather. I average about 260metres with my driver in still conditions including roll out - at Cape Wickham I have hit a few drives which have failed to reach the fairway at less than 150m...! Give it try,.... would love to see you play it. The only course I have played where the wind speed can range from 10mph to 80mph depending where you are on the course and the time of day..!
@@DougKercher Hi Doug, I missed playing in the Cape Wickham event last few years, but my last visit to the island in 2017, the wind was over 50kph before we hit off,.. I was playing off a 2 handicap and played okay for a score of 94. Far from the worst score of the day.
This place is absolutely off its head, and not in a good way. A breezeless day happens 9 times a year, and it becomes damn near unplayable in a 20km/h + zephyr. Greens are on steroids and most of us mere mortals can't hit driver, 7-iron into a par 5 to save the "working man's par" when we lose our first ball (that tee shot rivals 10 @ The Cut for worst in Australia). It's not fun in any way whatsoever, and while it's good that it punishes bad shots, it also doesn't reward good ones. Place should be blown up (bar the car park elevator, that thing is awesome).
Pretty obvious why you shot 2 over through 4 holes ron. Stella was absent! Nobody wants to see ron play safe with a 2 iron, they want to see ron absolute roost stella for 370m.
