 Okay so the first job is to sort out and add taggers names to this ball which is ever growing it's now the taggers wall I'm not giving you an update since I went from the white clean boards dry white boards that's the name of them I've now moved over to this whole wall and I want to get it all full with average golfers who've got handicapped targets and goals for this season 2018 as you can see lots of names coming in Frankie first girl her target was to get a handicap another girl followed by young lady Becky O'Grady 3.9 currently down to 3.3 that's the only two women we have on the board so more girls more female golfers I want to see but just keep them coming in the only two differences are made so far in terms of handicap adjustments is Stephen Holiday 11.728 Rob McGarv 5.1 I think he was at sort of six is your 5.5 and he's trying to get down to scratch but as a whole host of names have been added from all over the world which is fantastic and the idea is we just keep on encouraging each other when you stand on that seat maybe just subconsciously in the back of your mind you've got the taggers target board there to drive your arm and to help just focus that mind on a back now when you got a chance to make that handicap improvement so keep on sending them in so just as a reminder all I need name current handicap and target for 2018 and there's gonna be some prizes given away at the end of it all okay so this week started off as ever at Fogolf in Chester every Monday morning starts there and I started doing the usual product testing and this week it was the Callaway XR driver new release from Callaway who spoke about this a few weeks ago finally hit that this morning that video have either been out in the past 24 hours or certainly round about now depending on when this one goes out and then it also took an interesting look at what I call a power bat in terms of irons so two seven irons from the strongest clubs out there in the G700 from Ping and the M4 from TaylorMade so once again two video shot there that are really really interesting and well worth a watch and as I say they'll be around and about this week on the YouTube channel so keep an eye out for those but I want to go back to last week and I started early on last week with a game of match play up at Northup Country Park and this is what happened I'm at Northup Golf Club and I'm about to play a pairs knockout match it's a regional county thing playing every year okay the last few years with the same partner Jason Barron and hopefully we'll have another good run but I must admit Monday is not the best day to play golf I don't think I've been at Fogolf recording this morning and I'm a little bit lethargic don't want to start making excuses I need to get a bit of positivity don't forget thoughts playing well last week so come on and liven yourself up and let's get going right before I move out the car first question that springs to mind how do you get motivated for competitions what gets you right now what would you be doing I'm struggling like I said thinking or you know one of them can't be bothered it's late in the afternoon it's not the nicest of days but I'm playing golf I could be working how do you get yourself motivated that's the first question of today's vlog right back where it all started about four hours ago 18 holes are done before we competition this one it's it's Matt or it's not match play it's a knockout format better ball but we play it as stable for points which is I don't know we still can't get me head around it but that's the way it is so what you do you end up playing 18 holes no matter how much of a lead you've got you keep on playing for 18 holes which is a bit daft for me but good news to reporters we had a cracking knock there I don't know what the other team finished up on but we beat them without being yeah we're being fairly easy because we had 45 points which was unreal we had 19 on the front and would you believe 26 points on the way back which is a bit of a score to say the least so happy with that and a quick point time to go home and we'll carry on with this chat tomorrow so as you can see that decent start to the week it was nice to get that win and carried on on Thursday played in Thursday's weekly roll-up at Heswell and don't forget a decent round the week previous this time it was over 18 holes it was still unfortunately non-qualifying due to the fact it was picking clean but we did play 18 holes and I managed to knock up 37 points which I was really pleased with at the same time disappointed because after 12 holes and remember it's a 12-hole comp the week before I had one more point than the previous week and I won the previous week so it was actually a point better than what I've done the week before over 12 holes and I then just faltered a little bit on the last six could be down to a little bit of fatigue getting on it was sort of half seven at night but that's how we'd come off I don't know I also play a lot of 12-hole golf during the winter months because it finishes near our car park and again I think I need to up my fitness level and play a few more rounds of 18 holes and that's my golf done with for last week I didn't play at the weekend but I did watch a little bit of world golf and this is the question I have for you is that I switched off fairly quickly and that's due to the fact none of the big name players are really involved in any of the tournaments and I can't just watch the lesser players I suppose and the big names the big players are definitely the draw for me and the big tournaments as well I suppose so I struggle to watch golf under any circumstances other than major competitions and the big tournaments I suppose and where the top players of the world are involved and what about you is that something that you struggle with will you watch literally any golf that's on the telly or do you have as it got to be you're like me have you got off the mage is that the big players got to be there because otherwise for me this is where with the lesser tournaments if I call them that there needs to be something a little bit of razzmatazz around the events to just get people switched on to see something a little bit different that's going on razzmatazz was maybe the wrong word but you get the idea now probably mentioned last week that there's someone shining in the UK and it was a little bit well it certainly went to my head made me perhaps a little bit delirious and for some reason I ended up filming this video I know it's a tough watch but I promise you you will never ever see me in that blonde wig and cap ever again in many ways the week went from bad to worse in terms of the publicity we receive and because even Saoirse Garcia decided to take his frustrations out on the average golfer when he struggled with recent performances with the Callaway Rogue driver so we enjoyed those videos I like to add a little bit of humor where possible into these videos it can be a little bit mundane just hitting golf products all day long they're not everybody's cup of tea but I enjoy making them every now and again and I hope you have a little bit of a laugh at my expense the main sort of mentioning that video is Randy at fried eggs and I did say at the end of the video he has got an album of brilliant rap videos the rights that are golf related and it's just released that album on iTunes this is absolutely fantastic so get over there support fried eggs golf go and check out the channel if you haven't already gives me plenty of shout outs and most people that watch this channel are already aware of who he is so I can never really give him much of helping and but if for whatever reason you've not seen fried eggs golf then get over there check out his channel get into iTunes and buy that album okay no no doubt you've been asking yourself what is that feel changing the color of his hoodie each time we change camera angle the answer is simple if you've been there already you'll know the averagegolford.com website sells a little bit of merchandise like these caps hats and polo shirts and it's done quite well to be fair and I really thank everybody who supported that so far so we've decided to add just a couple of products and we've added these hoodies which is available in five colors really nice quality we've also added a lightweight Gillet which is again really nice quality perfect for either on the course or maybe at the driving range or in the pub even they're really nice garments do like them but the bit that I want to add at the moment is for your support right now there's a little bit of a bonus code that you can add at checkout which is average 10 quote that code at the checkout you'll get 10% off your full order and we ship worldwide as we have done already plenty of support from all over the place and like I said really do appreciate that anyway that's me finished for this week don't forget thumbs up if you like the video subscribe if you don't already if you do subscribe I'm told you need to start hitting the notifications bell which will give you alerts each time we post a video and that's mega important because apparently that's dropped off quite a lot of the YouTube people who are subscribing to YouTube bit of an issue that they've got going on so just check out that you've got that notification bell highlighted other than that enjoy the rest of your week and I'll see you soon don't forget plenty of videos posted this week
