Honestly, I don't think I have ever wanted someone to succeed more in my life. How likable is James. He just seems to be such a stand up fellow. I think this could be a new series Trying for course records with you and other PGA tour players or pro golfer buddies.

I was lucky enough to be on the course that day watching James. His ball striking is another level and he is such a nice chap, always smiling and both James and Rick happy to chat to the members the whole way round the course. The par 3’s on our course are tough and he made it look easy. Just a few loose puts and couple of drives out of position on the day….but I guess that’s all it takes…Amazing content Rick thanks for coming. Everyone at the course is buzzing about the video. Tick on the bucket list for me, thanks for the selfie!!! Hope to see you both in the summer for the Max Faulkner challenge ….hopefully someone breaks the record then!

How old is your course? It looks like a delightful, yet challenging 9/18 holes. I was wondering why they chose winter to do this, not so forgiving. I think summer will see a new record round. Hope there's another video for when the Max Faulkner challenge is on.

“Beat the Course Record”. This would be an entertaining series with PGA Pros attempting to break various course records. James is a cool dude and a joy to watch. Good job to you Rick for awesome narration.

I'm all for more James videos. The dude just seems so chill and enjoyable to watch

This was so refreshing to see a different style of course. It's so nice to see shorter, tigher courses. Wish there were more of these on the PGA Tour instead of just massive fairway and 600 yard Par 5's..

As a beginner golfer it’s so good to see how tour professionals play on a public course. James was so unlucky on some holes but that’s how golf is. It would be good to see him come back and break this course record. Keep the videos coming

Pretty amazing to see a player this good have a go at a course like this, there are so many small courses that just play hard. Hope to see more videos like this!

If they hosted an NCAA division 3 tournament someone would shoot 2-3 under without at doubt. A division 1 or any level tour event 59’s like they are cool. Guys will get the ball in the hole no matter what the conditions are. And yeah some will struggle just like any other course.

I love you showing us how pros fare on courses we play. Looks like a super tough course to score on based on the hole selections (no par 5s), layout and distances. I’d love to see how he plays in summer conditions.

Loved hearing the encouragement back and forth with you and James. Such a positive guy.

If there's anything I learn from James, it's how he keeps his mental game in check. He's always laughing, always smiling, and never lets the bad shots get to him. He's a cool little addition to the channel when you have him on! Keep up the good work Rick!

It would be interesting to have James play this course again in the summer with better conditions to see if his score would differ. Great video!

James is such a likeable guy, you cannot do other than want him to win. Thanks Rick, I really enjoy these videos of tour pros playing public courses.

James is such a good sport, seems to be an absolute delight to play with. While watching, I felt a strong feeling of actually wanting him to succeed, like it was my national football-team playing in the World Cup.

I would like to see James have another go at this challenge during the dryer months of the year as I think he would be able do it.👍

This video was amazing to watch. It’s amazing to watch a tour pro play. He didn’t play his best golf by a long shot and it was still amazing golf to watch. I’d die to be that talented. So fun listening to Rick and james talk about strategy. They are living the dream!

I am new to golf and since i started, i followed this channel and it helped me a lot. watching them hit the fairway is a lot of help giving me inputs on how to play the game. thumbs up and looking forward for more videos like this.

Would love to see James give it a few more tries at this challenge, make this like a series if needed, to first break the record and once he does that (he will do it for sure) to take on another challenge about “how low can he go”. Love his personality. Go James! 👊

Rick, have you ever considered doing a series where you go around to different courses and try to break the records there? You could do it with other KZread golfer and friends, or even the individual who holds the course record (if they are available and willing to participate).

Yeah.. the greens are rough.. It would probably take him only a few outings to master them though.

I honestly think James is one of your best guests on the show, mostly because he has a great personality and a wonderful swing. Can't wait to see more!

You got to love James. It just wasn't his day on the greens. What I liked most about James is the big smile when things weren't going his way and he didn't give any excuses for poor shots. Quality guy.

I was a member here for about 17 years. Managed to get down to 5 with a best round of 67. I had many 9 holes level but as with many amateurs the mind then starts to play with you (especially when playing the same holes twice). Due to how tight it is and the long par 3s it's one of the hardest courses I know, and strangely, although local knowledge is helpful, the more you play it the tougher it seems sometimes. I've seen many comments saying come back in summer. Granted the lies will be better, the greens smoother and faster and you'll get a lot more roll off the tee shots but the firmer greens and the fact most are all slightly raised does not mean it makes it significantly easier, plus you can get a few odd bounces. Would be great to watch. I actually marked the card of the previous course record (there must have been a course change / tweak since it was achieved) as it was a level par 64. New to the channel, but already looking forward to you returning to Pastures in the summer. Good luck, I think you may need some to shoot under par. Enjoying the channel 👍🏻

Fantastic effort from James considering the wretched conditions out there. A lot of tour players would have been nonstop whining but James plucked along with a smile. What a man!

Love these type of videos, getting the chance to see such a good golf player playing at the greater of his ability. Amazing!

Keep the videos going ,back in the game after a few years out these videos are making me improve every time I go out for a round ,greatly appreciated👍also great seeing the pros play with you!

This illustrates how tough the average parkland course can be when conditions are not optimal, nice video!

Would love to see James and Rick take this challenge on again in summer conditions. Keep the great content coming.

Man, this was wayyy harder than it looked at the start. James is a boss for sticking to it.

After watching James struggle on this course, now I realize that these difficult public courses are what's hurting my game. I'm probably a scratch golfer on a nice championship course...and with a new driver! Haha! Loved watching James have a go at this course record, he seems such a nice guy that he probably didn't want to take it away from the locals.

This could be an awesome series! Love seeing pros take on a "normal" course, despite the below average conditions.

Really wanted to see James break the record. Not just to see Great golf but because he comes across as a really good bloke. Best of luck on tour.

Love these videos where you play the course with these pros. Keep them coming!

Those greens looked like they were rolling about a 7 😂 tough to score when you can’t get the ball to the hole. James seems like a great guy. Really enjoyed this one

It’s nice to see a good golfer struggling with the conditions. It makes one feel more human! Always enjoy your content Rick!🏌️‍♂️

Love your tips, especially you’re range videos! Massive help

Really wishing James the best, very likeable chap, showing great skill and humility, on a very tough course. Like to see him and you Rick give it a go in summer conditions..

That was great to watch, James is the perfect example of how we should all approach the game, so level headed and you can tell he really enjoys the game and its challenges. Looking forward to you taking on the same challenge, good luck I'm sure you'll do great.

I love how humble and grounded James is for such a brilliant golfer. He needs another try in the summer. Keep up the good work Rick

You and James are like brothers, love seeing you guys on the course together makes for great content

Great video! Appreciate all the help you give the community!

The fact that James was that calm throughout the entire time he was playing is really impressive. I also feel like if he was to come back in some better conditions, he would be a lot closer to getting course record.

Hey Rick, so nice to see you both on a "normal golf course", with greens with patches, etc. I enjoyed to see James struggling a bit, but surely in the summer you should be able to make the record!

Just started getting into really trying to get better, love the sport! This video teaches me a lot! Thanks guys!

I just want to say Thankyou for helping me start to play golf, i have been playing for 3 months and your videos have been a great help and I have fallen for the game!

Such a good dude, so glad he's willing to share his game with the rest of us.

That looks a very difficult course. I was willing James on all the way! I'd love to see you and James have another go at the course in the summer!

I love this video attempting a course record. I was rooting for him but it's also somewhat relieving to see a good golfer be humbled by a course. I would love to see more of these and hopefully a new record in sight soon.

Weekend player. Cant get enough of this channel.getting better every week. Thank you for the guidance. This was a fun video. I was literally clapping when he made a good shot!

Love James' attitude. A lot can be learned from just how calm and steady he is with his emotions. Would love to see a video from the both of you on course and emotion management combined. Fab video as well!

James's attitude whilst having a tough time on the course was truly inspiring... Staying calm and most importantly having a good time. 👌

I appreciate the variety of your channel. Good tips, club reviews and visits from pros. Great job

Love the vids mate! Keep ‘em coming during the season

I found this video really encouraging. When a guy like James has that much trouble with a damp course and ordinary greens, it makes me feel a lot better about my play! Cheers James - loved your attitude when it wasn't going well.

Loving these videos Rick. I’ve started playing golf a year ago and been watching your videos religiously to improve my score on the course. So far I’ve lowered my score from 140 to 103 over the last year. Thanks for all the great content and lessons

Loved this video, James brings an everyman feel to the pro golfer by playing regular courses with all the pitfalls you dont get on the tour, such as suspect cuts. Keep it up!!

Love the vids man, need to see more of James on the channel!

Appreciate all you do! Keep it up!

James love for golf is so evident. Always a smile and positive view, no matter how he is playing. Love it!

James seems like a good chap. Would like to see him give it another go now that he’s familiar with the course.

Mr. Shield, I am a 28 handicap "hacker" who is fortunate to still golf in the Alaska summer with my 88 year old father. Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for providing them.
