that's one of the nicest comments I've read on YT. I mean I kinda puked up in my mouth a little, but very nice all the same. 🙃

Best KZread golf channel out there. Great tips that work, no annoying music - but mainly, Iona just loves and respects the game, seems like few channels are like that anymore.

Iona - I learnt more watching you Chasing the Red than I have watching other instructors for the last 30 years. You’re a star.

Young lady, you offer genuine insight and interest into this game. There are plenty online who seek to entertain, educate and some confuse! But Iona, continue to keep it real🏌🏾‍♂️

Absolutely spot on pal. I’ve stopped watching may other channels and tend to only watch Iona and Golflife (which Iona should be on as a guest)

Iona is quickly becoming my celebrity golfing crush.. love the chasing the red.. series.. 💥

I get so invested in these types of videos that I am fist bumping birdies and groaning at bogeys, great stuff keep it up

So entertaining to watch! Thank you!

Night Golf looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for the video!

Iona…just love your content. I’m a 9.5 handicap player, so my Red is getting under 80. I worked really hard last year to find a swing and tempo that held up for an entire round. I have some injuries in my spine and my wrists have an extra small bone in them (genetic anomaly) that don’t allow them to bend, or pronate, like others, so swinging a club would hurt in a more traditional swing, and modifications were necessary. Lots of work! I really found agreement with your comment around par 3’s. As I was working to become a better overall player, I focused hard on par 3’s and also par 5’s. I found that if I played those holes at par or better, my entire round felt stable. The result is I played the par 3’s and 5’s at an 81% success rate of par or better for the 2023 season. My biggest hurdle now is scoring on the par 4’s, which are long on my home course, so my GIR’s on the 4’s need improvement. My bogeys and or doubles come mostly from missing greens on the 4’s and not getting up and down. It’s fascinating to me how mentally my mistakes tend to show up more on the 4’s now. I believe after the winter is past, with the work I’m doing indoors, and a fresh mental perspective for the par 4’s, my RED will be under 78 this spring…and a handicap under 7 is in reach. Keep up the exceptional content…it is very inspiring. 😊

Love your videos your sincerity is obvious and enjoyment of the game oozes out of you and your natural ability in front of the camera endears you to all of your audience. Really enjoy your channel and your videos. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.

I've not played golf in 30 years but watching your content, listening to your advice and seeing your enjoyment and enthusiasm to share your knowledge and joy for the game with everyone has got me feeling like I might give it another go again. Another brilliant video, love all the content and good luck if you do decide to enter some tournaments and compete next year

And I would love an Iona in the red ball please 🙏

Iona I'm loving your videos, what I like about them is the way you show people how to look at a course and the way to play it as well. It's not just tee ot up and hit the big dog, think of where you want to play too. You always give good advice. Keep making great videos thank you.

Iona, another great episode! I love your concept of each person has their own “red”. My red is to shoot in the 70’s. I only do it a few times per year but it’s fun when it happens! I also really enjoy your instructional tips!

just such a lovley striker of a golf ball none of this fade it right or left stuff just straight and true lovley to watch and learn from. Nice video again Iona

“Give it laldy” 😂 a proper Scottish phrase 😁 love the insight you provide during your round. Even though I don’t play anymore I still enjoy watching golf videos like this 👏

I love your "Chasing the Red" videos and from them, I try to absorb your tempo. I'm 63 years old now and also having taken a 20-year break from golf, I found out last year that I've lost 40+ yards of distance from my driver. A lot of that had to do with my knees and diabetes which had taken a neurological toll on me. However, I started practicing anyway and took advantage of the restart to teach myself a newer, more effective swing for my age. It all started to come back. I regained 20+ yards on my drives but our golf season here in Minnesota ends with winter. I ended up having my right knee replaced in November and I'm currently recovering from that so watching your videos is truly inspiring. I REALLY want to have your swing tempo because I find now that I'm hitting the ball the same distance as you... and I'm comfortable with that. It's just that your ball striking is just SO consistent and seemingly pure. I'd love to find fairways and greens like you do with such a consistently effortless swing. Just beautiful to watch. Continued happiness and success to you Iona...

Great series, brilliant advice.

I'm a 24 HCP and been one for God knows how long. This autumn I took 3 lessons and I suddenly broke 90 for the first time ever😊 Then of course winter came and I have to wait 5 months before I can hit a golf ball outside again. In the meanwhile I'm cherishing these little golden nuggets of golf wisdom you're sharing and hope they will get me in the red when spring comes ❤

This series is an inspiration to enjoying the process of golf itself, and not just the score.

Best golf is relaxed golf. No thinking required. Great video.

Awesome episode Iona!!! So much fun watching and listening to you ! Learned a lot to try in 2024!!! Keep em coming!

As part of your IG Community I look forward to hearing from you and so enjoy your videos. Keep leading the YT golf world with your incredible content. Cheers!

Another excellent video and some great tips and insight. I only wished my golf swing was as pure as yours, despite your neck pain. Well done keeping them coming 😊😊

Another cracking episode I love this series and the all the tips and tricks are brilliant too.

Iona. Brilliant series. You are so relatable, please continue producing great content. Have a great Christmas.

Took up golf again during the lock down, last played early 20s now 59. Have loved learning how to play the game, joined a club for the first time 18 months ago. Have managed to get my handicap down to 7.9 and so motivated to get it down further. Now retired and playing most days. Love the wee nuggets you give like concentrating on what you are trying to achieve rather than the outcome makes great sense to me, thanks for that.

Another great video, Iona. Night golf looks like so much fun. That mix up on the 18th! Years ago, I was standing in a fairway sizing up a long carry over water to a front pin. And my friend asked me if I knew which green I was going to play to - the proper one was at a right angle left of where I was looking. Every single hole for the rest of round I endured; "Oh, Brian? The green is over here." Iona, I couldn't agree more about making pars on the par 3s! We under club, and swing out of our shoes; or get far too aggressive going for pins. Par 3s without the right strategy is where the doubles or worse can happen so fast.

Love your videos, enjoy watching you play, superb production of your videos and always manage to take a little “nugget” away from listening to you talk about your game

Enjoy watching you play golf. Instructions are appreciated and very helpful.

More great content Iona, fun, informative and the time flies by when watching, perfect.

Iona , what an outstanding golf course listening to the play by play of each shot plus the tips was awesome ..chasing the red is one of my favorite series look forward to each episode keep up the spectacular work ... wish you the best of luck on your journey ... hope to see you playing tournaments soon ....peace

Iona keep up the great videos there brilliant and am learning alot of you plus you explain everything so well and easy , top class

Driver & five wood Iona, boom say no more.. great video as usual 👍🏻🇬🇧

Love it ❤

You are one of the best and most genuine content creators out there. I hope you get to achieve your goals. Keep creating wonderful videos and sharing you insight. Chin up!

Iona you are one of my favourite golfers to watch. Love your wisdom and sincere attitude throughout. Thank you. ❤️

Thank you Miss Golf - great comments and tips. The most enthusiastic golfer out there !

Thoroughly enjoyed that Iona, excellent.

Never played night golf but it looks good fun. Great tips along the way. Love the plates of peas one! 😊

One of the takeaways from your videos was the relationship to one's own clubs, as you mention in this video. I took up golf again last year, after almost 20 years of not playing due to various reasons, and after a brief, frustrating experiment with a few models I ended up with my old putter I used during my junior days (all other clubs I changed because well, they're twenty-odd years old) and finally gained confidence again on the greens. Thank you again for the great content and the tremendous videos, Iona.

Love your approach to youtube. I'm an 11 handicap. So I'm normally in the low 80's, for me in the "red" is breaking 80.

Hi Iona, These videos are so inspirational and I am looking at taking up golf. Watching your videos are good are showing me where I go with my practice and learning .

Thank you for the driver tip. I will use that on the next go.

My five wood is my favourite - an old cobra so steel stiff flex mid kick - suits me! Another fabulous vlog

I really love the positive tips you always give and I know looking at you how cross you are when you have a bad hole,something we can all relate to,keep up the good work ❤

Iona, you and your team do an amazing job. Am always waiting for your new videos. Continue the great work.

As always great video and banter

Love the series and the tips. Definitely will be using the "keep your height" and the "levels". Thanks.

I love watching your videos. Your presenting skill with guests is superb, and this chasing the red series is riveting to watch & full of very good advice.

Your style of presentation is so engaging. The commentary is full of great tips and ways to think strategically. I hope your neck is better. I’m a bogey golfer and get red about once every round.

I love all the tips and tricks. I'll be watching so many of your videos again once spring comes around, and I can go golfing again.

A very enjoyable video. Carding 3's on par 3's are nice, but 3's on par 4's are better! 😊👍🏽

Your content is SO GOOD!! My game is improving because of the tips and psychology you're sharing. AND your style is just so entertaining. Keep it going, really appreciate the work you're putting into this.

Loving this series, another great video with great golf and insights. Have recently been to the range a few times after not playing for over 25yrs, so my red at the moment is just to find some consistency of shot and distance and avoid a wild slice😅

That really does hurt! What doesn’t hurt is your fabulous content and attitude. Really enjoy Chasing the Red. Keep it up.

Yes, I am learning something. I like the way you think your way around the course, and your delivery style.

I have recently been focusing on the three critical things: "intention, attention and attitude" - it's a wonderful thing! You and this series are incredibly inspiring! You have a very unique format - it's really amazing that this type of content doesn't exist ANYWHERE else!! I'm loving it and can't get enough! The series strikes the right balance between content that's of interest without being a "golf swing" video! yet I get so much from just watching you play and listening to all of the content!🥰

That last lip out 😫 You always make fantastic content, Iona. Thank you 👏👏

Awesome n looking forward to watching the vid😊 That was another great episode with awesome 'extra instructional tips.. Hadn't heard the keep your head high before so will give that a go.. You really do take us with you from an emotional and experience point of view.. As you said, that put really hurt (also from behind the screen)..

Iona, ur just so different class 👍👍

Awesome vid. Good information. Nice.

Another great video Iona - feeling a little bit jealous that I had to play golf here in frosty Inverness whilst you're enjoying the warmth of Dubai but to play golf in any conditions is a blessing

Enjoying this series Iona! I play off 2 currently and like the idea of pushing just a bit each round to go into "my red". On equipment, beyond a standard fitting, I think just finding clubs that feel comfortable is the most important thing. I play persimmon 1/3/5 woods and my "players" irons are 7 years old. So I guess I bum out the golf industrial complex that is always pushing the latest and greatest, but having loads of fun trying to play some good golf!!

I love watching u play Swiss Crans sur sieere masters

Dear Iona, I clearly want to thank you for all the videos you post. They are inspiring and very well done. I am looking forward to seeing more of them. Thanks a lot for all that you do. Someone of your community.

Love these videos, Iona. Talking of playing night golf in a nice temperature. I played in Dubai a few years ago at 9pm and the temp was 42! We just about made the 9 holes!

Really like the channel. I find it great to see how someone who hits most clubs around the same as me can score so much better. Inspires me to do better

Great video. Cardinal sin of walking it in on the last hole, 😂. Good shooting though. Night golf looks amazing, will get my first taste in Abu Dhabi in January, so looking forward to it.

Another great episode. Good article in Bunkered this month too 👍 well done 👍

Great watch as usual and good insight and learnings. One thing for me is I’m not great but always striving to get better and cannot seem to get rid of wasting a shot by fatting, thinning or topping. Really frustrating and is always with my woods, mainly use 5 wood. Ant tips welcome would love some feedback as it’s a joy to watch you skelp that 5 wood for miles.

Wonderful, video! Thank you so much for all your helpful insights and swing thoughts. Looking forward to giving them a try. Cheers. 😀

😅 You really are a pleasure to watch. Thanks.

Enjoyed it as always! As our area is approaching "winter golf" (~10 C), I am using your tips with the goal of maintaining my handicap at 7 until the spring launches again. Can't ask too much from these old 64 year-old bones during the cold. Keep the great content coming!

Had a range session today. I kept in mind your suggestion of balancing plates. Worked a treat to considerably decrease my left and right dispersion.

All the tips you give are so beneficial. I'm struggling with driver at the moment(high and spinny). I think a combination of lowering my tee height (I set up with half the ball above the top of the club) and trying to stay tall rather than holding my weight forward and compressing into the ball is going to help. We've all said it before and I'll say it again, this is the best channel on KZread.

Great watch and dialogue, love the little tips and insights

Lovely video. As a super senior (66 years old) I am a 9 handicap. On my course, Dufferin Heights in Stanstead Quebec Canada, I consider under 80 to be in the red. Dufferin is a hilly course with tricky greens. I warn first timers that the only flat spot is the parking lot, so most fairway shots require slope adjustments. Flat landers beware!

Really enjoy your channel, grest tips and general commentary is really good, by far my favorite golf channel

Another really enjoyable video. Thank you so much for doing these. I love all of the tips and insight in between shots

Enjoy seeing the ball flight on Night golf. Would enjoy a video giving your teaching-thoughts on how to hit 3, 5 woods, and hybrids off fairway, out of rough, and off tee. I have few issues off tee, but when trying off fairway I have difficulty with low point and getting a good strike.

So much great information in this video and relatable to all handicaps.

Great video and as always very informative feeling like I’ve had a golf lesson

My chasing the red is currently 3 over. Enjoy your content as it gives justification and insight into decisions I've taken. Floated around 9 / 10 handicap, but was tired and had wrist pain, so 2 years ago took a leap of faith and went for lighter shafts, it worked, now enjoying every game and hope in 2024 I get close to scratch. My age 50.

Gonna have to watch this one a number of times to make all those tips stick! My most difficult thing is feeling comfortable when I’m in my red!! I try to stay in the moment and not tie up, but it’s hard! You seem to keep so positive, so I’ll keep watching and hope some of it rubs off on me.

Can’t believe that last putt ! Loved the tips. Weather in Scotland as I type this is just horrible. My home course has been shut since last Thursday and not guaranteed to be open tomorrow either. (Tuesday) Course will be like a swamp and so jealous of you / others getting to play in nice conditions. Won’t back down though 😁😂👍🏻

Iona, your instruction on how to set up to hit the Driver was so helpful. Not feeling confident when hitting the Driver has really held my golf progression back. Thanks so much for your wonderful videos and instructions.

Love your tips and straight drives. 👍

Love your insight and the in the red series is the best on KZread, loved the Adam Scott videos. My handicap is 10.2 and last weekend shot 7 and 8 over respectively off the tips at my home course. Keep up the great work Iona

So glad I followed Ric Shiels advice and subscribed to your channel, enjoying all your videos.

Awesome as always hope the neck is better by now⛳

You have to realize Iona that all the dialogue and other distractions will affect your golf along with sometimes hurrying your shots because of that and feeling like you have to get going. I'm not complaining; you're great at it and give great insights and stories along the way which is why I enjoy watching you golf

Always so enjoyable to watch your videos! Keep up the Great Work!!!!

Oh wow the last hole 😢 another great video Iona and definitely want to play night golf as looks brilliant keep up the good work lady

Regarding bag set up for typical UK winter conditions, what 7 clubs would you include in a pencil bag and why? You are delivering a very enjoyable, educational and encouraging set of videos - thank you so much.

Really enjoyed this and learned about the flow of the grass on the greens, my goal is to shoot par as I’ve only been playing 6 months

Cracking vidéo as always. Good to ear that you want to compete in the near future. Good luck! Btw, I really believe your game is better than scratch because even if you feel like you don't have all your golf shots back, your golf IQ is still +, and that will help you score. Cheers

A brilliant episode - insightful, entertaining and informative. Loving the tactical thought processes.

Another great video Iona. You pull the viewer in, in a way that makes us feel we are there and part of it. As for chasing the red, I regularly have periods where I am on it and breaking my handicap but the chances of me breaking par for a round are pretty slim. Looking forward to watching you trying to qualify for The Open.

Looking forward to watching you play in the open Iona, as you will definitely be playing in it if you can keep injury free and practicing 🙌🏻

Yay, an Iona video!! ❤
