 Right, let's turn that down, bit of George Ezra in the morning, bit of toast, bit of fruit toast to get the morning started, it is absolutely, turn that down a bit further, it is horrible out there, but I wanted to show you my new little speck, window seat, even though it's pouring down with rain, lots of brightness in my life, lots of space for creativity and a smile on my face. I'm going to pause that to get on my nerves. So, I had a bit of an office move around and the idea being this, I wanted a camera in permanent position, so I could have a more frequent chat, so when I'm ready to go something comes into my head, I can literally press record, whereas previously the setup, although also being very dark about it, I'll show you, guided tour around very, very shortly, but it was in a very dark and miserable corner which often led to a dark and miserable mood, but there was no camera setup, so it was always a case of, and it might sound like a very small mine of detail, but to set up tripods, to set up microphones, to set up getting the memory cards in and all the rest of it, often that thought comes into your mind, the idea and then you think about the setting up of the camera and all the rest of it and you think, do you know what, I'll give it a miss, let me just have a bite of me breakfast before it goes cold. So, I thought, right, I'm going to go to the office round and I'll do exactly that. I put this in, I've got a window seat, even I'm looking at an ugly car bar, traffic going past, bit of sunshine, brilliant, can't wait, but I had to go a bit further than that, I bought some speakers in, bit of music on, I love golf, I love music, I love football, they're all my three, they're my three passions in life. So, music on, then I set up, all to my right, you'll see shortly, full charging station for all the kit, drones, cameras, laptops, so I'm literally ready to go at any minute. It's like, you know, I don't realise, seriously, how organised you need to be to be creating YouTube videos and it is, honestly, the amount, just the amount of batteries you need to charge, the amount of kit that you need to have ready. So, again, generally I'll have a few bits here, a few bits in the car and a few bits left at home and you know what happens is that every time you go out, the one bit that you need, you'll have left either in the home or in the car, it'll be somewhere where it shouldn't be. So, again, I'm bringing everything into one place. So, yeah, I'm really loving this little space at the moment and like I said, the idea is, I'm going to switch the camera on on a more frequent basis, when a thought comes into my head, relating to golf obviously, we'll have a little bit of anata and I'll maybe film two or three of those clips, four of those clips, whatever it equates to and then I'll put out a video, a little bit of a chat like this and I'll put it out, mainly, I'm trying to get back to something that's going to come out on a weekly basis. So, I don't want to commit, I had a Thursday night show, which I loved, but it really wore me down because I always had to commit to that date. I don't want to be as, I don't want to be as tight and as strict as that but I want to put something out on a more frequent basis where we can have a bit of a general nata because I love all this bit. I did a video yesterday and again I've got to thank everyone for the, it was about Rory, did he have a bit of a meltdown, was it nerves that got to him in his final day on the Masters and the response is brilliant, you know, the comments that come in, it's two and a half thousand views which is fantastic, it's not, you know, it's not twenty thousand views but it's a great, I love this core audience, it's the same people that get involved and again thanks for that in the comments, they get involved every time I put a video out and this kind of discussion stuff, I really enjoy, I enjoy it personally, sometimes the debates if you're a little bit, if it's a little bit controversial in the past it can upset a few people I suppose but I hope, I love having an opinion and I love hearing others' opinions, I'm never offended by opinions, I'm offended by abuse but never by opinion so I love this kind of thing so hopefully it'll create more of a regular debate. A couple of things I want to say before I, are they in shot, they're hidden away a bit at the moment, I want to apologise first of all to Ben Ross and that is because several weeks ago now they sent me Driver Ion's Hybrid, let's have a quick look at that hybrid, can we get that in focus, can we get it in focus, I think it's in focus, anyway great look in hybrid and fairway wood that is under there, they sent me this new Razer's Evolution R for Driver Ion's fairway whatever, I've done the video for the Ions, I've put that out already but these other three clubs really wanted to do for my reviews of new products now, wanted to do on-course testing as you know that seems to again been really really popular and the weather has been horrific so to Ben Ross I apologise it has been longer it's probably past your launch date and it's probably not what you wanted from the reviews so like I said I'm sorry but I want to do the reviews properly and give the club ample opportunity to perform and out there on the golf course because that's what everybody seems to like dry ball data yes but then mixed in with out there on the course so that's what I'm waiting for that's been the delay and yet again a look at win today is absolutely pouring down and having a massive effect on the golf that's being played in the UK at least anyway I just pause this for a minute while it is totally done like it done cold so next thing I want to talk about is Thursday weather permitting I'm gonna play in my first handicap qualified of the year the season midweek comp and no doubt lot of you will have started maybe already in the last couple of weeks playing your first other starts to the season in terms of handicap qualifying competitions so what I want to do is this I started thinking about I'm playing Thursday my handicap is 8 8.1 at the moment and I've been on slide last couple years really struggled in terms of practice and to play proper golf and regular so I tried I made a suggestion early part last year was gonna make an effort and I probably didn't quite get there but already this year spent a little bit more time practicing and I've practiced on the areas of my game I know are weak and are letting me down so for me it's been the short game and chipping in particular getting up and down so like most of us I don't hit greens in regulation and that ability to get up and down maybe five times out of ten so the two times out of ten is where you start to cut down from sort of I think from a 12-14 handicap into the sort of single figure 7-8 it's generally down to the short game in my opinion that separates it the ball striking from T to green it's generally not majorly different but it's the short game that sort of really separates those single-figure handicaps so that's what I'm practicing on I'm gonna set myself a target I want to at least drop one shot by the end of the season it's not a major jump but at single figures moving one or two shots at single figures is difficult and based on the fact that I've been on a bit of a slide for the last couple years I think if I can go from 8 to 7 I'll be pleased in my head I love the idea of getting down back down to 6 because that's where I was a couple years ago so if I can get back to 6 that'd be fantastic but I think realistically if I can get from 8 down to 7 and maintain it because that's you know one would round arguably get down to 7 but the thing is maintain it by the end of the season so that's the target for me but what I want to know is what's your target so what I want in the comments down below is what you play off now what you're going to play what your target is and how you think you're going to achieve it so in other words what your weaknesses so it might be I play off 20 I want to get down to 16 short game that's what I want to see down in the comments down below and what we're going to do this video isn't going anywhere it'll saved in the memory I'll be saved on YouTube we'll have a bit of a revisit but each time I'll mention this every sort of two or three weeks maybe a month or so and give you an opportunity to post again down below if any of you are achieving those results and I've managed to get your handicap down I want to hear about it and I don't want to make a statement where if thousands of you all of a sudden start achieving something this is going to backfire on me but I will literally we'll get some giveaways and we'll get some giveaways based on a reward of that performance so if you've done well if you've got a couple of points shaved off your handicap if you start to achieve that goal then I'm sure we can sort some kind of reward down to it might be anything massive but I like I said hopefully thousands of people don't all of a sudden start putting their handicap otherwise I've got a bit of a problem but that's what I want to do I want to get you engaged I want to know you're doing at the same time you keep an eye on how I'm doing I'll report back my scores how I'm doing I think for me weekend golf has been difficult over the last couple years hence the reason I've had the problem in the slide not playing competitive golf but we do that has always a midweek compound which is every Thursday and I'm going to make an attempt to play every Thursday if I can throughout the season or as many as I possibly can so that's my aim this this season going forward and I want to know yours that's it for now the video could end here I don't know I've been waffling on for but I'll show you a little bit round bit of a tall round the office you'll notice that a lot of things are very much in place I've got a bit of OCD about me everything needs to be in its right place and I'll either speak to you in a second or two with a new clip or that'll be the end of this video and how you do that don't I just be quiet see you in a bit
