 ac mae'r gwaith o'r cyflwyno yn ôl ymlaen o'r 7-hyniad. Fe'n cael ei wneud o'r fawr o'r cyflwyno o'r llaw. A dwi'n gwych i'r fawr o'r cyflwyno, rwy'n gwneud o'r fawr o'r ei gael. Felly, yw'r gael fawr? A yw'r gael, o'r gael i'r fawr o'r gael o'r wc, o'r ddweud o'r gael o'r ddweud? Felly, mae'n gweithio i'r gael o'r gael, I'm an hour and a half into the drive now and if we're going to do it now is the time to turn back. Did you record all that? Basically it's forecast snow on Tuesday and Wednesday and the clubs are concerned that obviously we're going to go all the way up there and not be able to film. So basically the trip is off. We're turning round. So with golf courses once again hit by bad weather we had two options. Change the channel and become a coffee and food critique or we battle on and find a golf course that is actually open. Now I have to be honest it wasn't an easy decision. Drinking coffee, eating cakes, dry and warm by the fire. No cancellations, no need to wear five layers in a bobble hat. But I'm a man of my word and I said you'd get golf every Monday at 6.30pm and golf is what you're going to get. Landidno is a seaside town in north Wales. It's a place that caters for both the very young and the very old. I'd describe it as Mar Bayer for the over 70s except with far less sun. The architecture in Landidno is predominantly from the Victorian era and judging by some of the buildings it was the last time they had a lick of paint which is testament to the lengths they have gone to to achieve the full bygone experience. I am of course only joking. I love a trip to Landidno. It has a warmth and charm that is only found in traditional British seaside towns. Punch and Judy, ice cream, fishing ships, slot machines and fairground rides is a very unique British experience that should never disappear. And more importantly they have a golf course that is open. Well actually they have too. I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to film another episode of off the beaten track. Look there you go you can see I am overcome with happiness and joy. Right I told you we would get back out on the golf course one way or another and the sun is shining along. We'll see we've got a few holes closed here today. I'm at North Wales Golf Club which you can see in Landidno. And I just honestly I've never known such a prolonged period of wet weather in the UK. I think it's been record levels of rainfall since last July. And I just really interested in what is your fix. How are you getting over what's a substitute for not playing golf. I'd love to know. Anyway we've had a few holes warm up. We're on I think the 7th or 8th because like I said we've got three holes, three, four and five have been closed. Well that could work better than I've had a lot of nice shots today. Did it look good? And that's the one that's probably got closest to the hole. I can also say I've never been more chilled on a golf course because Stuart Golf have sent me a remote control trolley and apart from the fact we had a bit of a near disaster on the first tee we're now well and truly up and running and I love this thing. It's like having your own little caddy. Go on, off you go. It's like obviously driving ranges and I'm not a great practiser. Full stop and whacking balls at a driving range is the obvious substitute and then there's loads of like indoor simulator bars nowadays. So I don't know whether you've got any of them nearby. Well nothing is a substitute for the real thing. Right, let's see if we can get this all the way back up to the hole. He's got a chance. Yep, not bad. It's not been a bad start to be fair and again working on the swing of it with Lou last week those two rounds that we had it was great to have him in tow because really all I did was peck his head after every swing that I hit and asked him what I was doing right or wrong which was good for me anyway. I just thought I don't know how many of those kind of towers are in playing around America in different other countries. They're predominantly seen on a lot of links courses when there's a blind shot and you're seeing if the place is cleared or not but I don't know whether they're all over the world or not but it's certainly found quite often on links. Right, off we go. I'll take that. I'll have to give myself that because I'm not walking back for the putter and I've left the remote control. This has been good for me you know as I can kind of like... it's almost like therapy. It's like that way then by the way. It's like having a shrink talking to the camera it's a way to just kind of express yourself so this whole change in philosophy since this series began which was about everything being maybe a little bit more authentic a little bit more true to life and real has been really good on a personal level and then walking around golf courses and sort of seeing them for what they are and not getting too hung up on performance because now it's a typical example where we've just had weeks and weeks and months in some cases not being able to play golf so I think I've got to appreciate it when you do get the opportunity to get out there. There you go, that's my thoughts. I've just said to Hannah who is behind the camera today by the way that will be a photo of the week coming shortly is that it is a shame we're playing the winter teas because just next week and we're filming this on something like I think it's the 27th today of March next week I assume the course will be open it's the kind of official start of the season in most places and you've got these tea boxes which is... we just stopped that there this is the white tea yellows and reds and if you have a look around the course where we've been I've seen to be fair some great work of whether tea boxes look superb and have been protected rightly so all winter but it's a different golf course all together when you study it and you've got that kind of backdrop and sort of teeing off across the angle of the beach than the one we're going to see today and a lot of them so just bear that in mind and a lot of people have asked me about being to pay these pieces I don't quote anything because generally there may be a winter green there's so many changes throughout the season but for those who are interested it was around depending on the time of play between sort of 35 and I think the top fee as a visitor was £42 a day on the 27th of March Do you know what I can't believe how much the weather changes I think it seems always on the links course and we've got some drone footage that you'll see which has been absolutely stunning then it's been really dark for eight holes and then we've got here I think this is the ninth isn't it and how nice is this this is what we've been missing and we need more of well certainly the tiger line it's okay and we're not going left thank God but yeah maybe a little bit closer to the left hand side of another one of people oh my word that's stunning isn't it I'm going to keep a score on the back nine like I said three holes taken out of that front this is stroke 4 380 with about 30 probably playing 350 this is one of those blind ones at the black and white markers what I'll be aiming and when you see these things it's all about you know you've got to you've got to commit to it and yeah let's hope I can do what I'm preaching practice what I preach as they say yeah that's super sharp more wood by the way it's maybe a tad out to the right it's in the hole making its way back into the left hand side but really happy with that and the other thing I just want to say is that it's a good few years since I've last played this golf course and it seems that there's a heck of a lot of work going on since I last played it and you can see that off season as well they seem to have a lot of stuff I noticed straight away from the very first new T-box that's been built but there's noticeable areas all round so congrats to the green team great job as ever a massive thank you and a shout out to PXG for sponsoring off the beaten track all the clubs, apparel and accessories featured in this video are PXG a lot of them refuse to take any accountability for my bad shots right don't want to go with that 130 into the flag I'll tell you what you can also cos I'm always asking for comments is uh oh this might be too big but yeah just have to think for a minute then has anyone played Stymie so we've had you've seen a couple of episodes where me and Lewis has been giving that a go and uh I've also played it sort of um off camera and it's been really enjoyable I'd love to hear from anybody who's perhaps tried it I'll have to shut up for a bit and try and concentrate okay sit down yeah we're on the dance floor this week sees the return of photo of the week with a few thrown in from off the course so as ever it's Hannah or Andy in the comments section below uh no I want to go drivers going back in and one forward again we're down breeze it's a little bit tight this one um a little bit long the 360 off the T I'm going to go to the um left side of the T-box and the reason for that is I like to sort of block this left hand side out a little bit visually and I'm going to aim towards what is a red um steak area there's a little book running alongside there and hopefully we can bring something back to centre that's the plan at least anyway that's perfect is the forward long enough yeah I think that's pretty much perfect we're good to go I'm fuming after the three put on the last which was uh yeah it's just like a steam train down a slope which I either didn't see or that green is particularly quick anyway we started with a bow let's see if we can make it back I was hit about how sort of therapeutic these videos are for me the main motivation has been when you read some of the comments that you lot post one they're very flattering but two you're suggesting that you kind of wait now for a Monday evening or look forward to a Monday evening which is uh on the green there can I mark that I think I can yeah you look forward to it and it acts as a motivation because um in a situation like we've had again this week it's forced me in a way of making it work and yeah it doesn't go uh unappreciated that's not a word is it unappreciated um yeah I just love it it's and it's a great motivation this is also a motivation because if I can hold this it would get me back to level par it's a weak effort I think you know what the greens are they don't look overly quick and there's a little bit of sand on them but they're really running out and uh got more pace than they suggest that's so that's a par so since the first bowgio which I three put it up with straight par so we're doing okay and I want to talk to you really as well later on in the video at some point is uh how my own game is going to be put to the test soon when I'll be playing my first medal confer quite a while for one club you know that I hope you see my sort of change up in my bag set up in uh I should be in recent weeks we posted that video but that forward is the best thing that I've put in the bag it's uh it's an absolute winner right let's do a three point turn let's go the rain didn't hold off for as long as we had hoped and of course we're now taking our batteries I did want to show you a hole 16 and 17 but on 16 we just took the rain has come and the storm has hit well basically you played two greens two holes back to back two par threes which is very unusual and it's a great finish to your round and uh well this is 17 playing from uh slightly forward elevated C and it's playing 116 with wind off the right as you can see from the flag okay that's a nice line is the distance right just sit down oh that's a nice finish hopefully and got the zoom in on there on the other camera and uh we've got a decent chance for birdie but to be honest I just can't wait to get back down on the cover again down the cover again
