    Hi Michael,

    Many thanks for your comments on the blog.

    The B&B I featured in episode 1 is :
    Cameron House, St Andrews
    11 Murray Park, St Andrews
    Tel: 01334 47 23 06

    Ask for a lady called Elizabeth and mention the video!

    You can always book up a season ticket for the Open here:

    though you don’t have to buy tickets beforehand as you can buy them on the day, they are just a little more expensive.

    Kind Regards

    Andy

    Hi Andrew,
    I played the Old Course July of 03. Had a great time. Played with a member, so no caddy was needed. I don’t remember my score, but I do remember making a bonehead move on one of the par 4’s when I stuck a wedge shot to tap in distance. Unfortunately, I had gone for the wrong pin which lead to a very long quadruple breaking putt to the correct pin. My first putt grazed the hole (lucky) stopping about 10 feet past. I missed the comeback and tapped in for a bogie.

    On 18, I went for the green off the tee and ended up pin high, but left of the green. My pitch shot was tracking for the hole, but faded right just before it dropped. However, I did tap in for a bird. An eagle would have been VERY nice.

    The next day, I played the Dukes’ course where, on one of the par 5’s on the back I hit my longest drive of my life (358 metres) over an Oak tree which was some 250 metres out. The ball came to rest beside a yardage marker which is why I knew how far the drive had travelled.

    I truly enjoyed my experiences in Scotland. This year we are off to Ireland which is where my family is from. Of course, I will be taking my clubs.

    All the best. Keep those interesting e-mails coming. I look forward to them.

    Kit

    An interesting perspective and I’m eager to see more. Wave your arms around all you want but please stand still and address the microphone. Sound is lost when you don’t.

    Excellent Andy

    Really enjoyed this first video, look forward to seeing the rest.
    Your wife just needs a bit more practice with the camera so the footage is smooth but damn good effort.

    Regards

    Love the video Andy, a really great effort for your first ever show. I’ll be embarking on my own little project some time soon and the thought of thinking what to say and getting everything spot on is quite frightening!

    I’ll definitely sign up for future episodes and can’t wait to see you cover other courses in the area. It’s really great to see the best bits, where to stay and where to drink…great idea.

    Good luck with it Andy and I look forward to the next one..

    :Andy great first show can’t wait to see more of scotland.
    Dont let the boss do all the work you must pick up the camera some times.If a womens touch is there as well we just mite be able to get up to scotland more often,I suppose it would have be with shoping and that is not golf. great show regards Martyn.

    Hello Andy.

    That was a good start to the new video series, but tell your cameraman not to drink so much !! plus you need a ‘Pro’ type mike to catch all the words.

    Looking forward to the next.

    Regards Ted

    PS As You know I have been with you since the start……….. I won two comps in 2008, and came very close in 3 others through straight hitting!! One chap who I beat 8 and 7 told me that I was making a big mistake by picking up the club too quickly. I tried to explain how and why I was doing it but he refused to believe that he might improve by doing the same….poor fellow.

    I also came across a method of putting which has improved me immensly. It is called ‘The Quiet Eye’ have a look at it.

    Well Done Andy!!
    I have never been to St Andrews, and always wanted to see it, so this helps. If you ever get a chance to show us the inside of the Golf Musuem or the old Golf shops, I would like that.
    Keep up the good work I really enjoyed it
    Tom

    Andy,

    Enjoyed the show.

    However, at times when you turned your head I couldn’t understand what you were saying.

    Apparently the microphone wasn’t positioned to pick up your voice then.

    Andy,

    Nice first show. Certainly a different perspective from what we see here in the States during the Open.

    I can think of a few moments from the Open that imprinted on me. John Daly winning in the playoff was one, but I have to believe the VanDeVelve meltdown at Carnoustie is the top of the heap.

    Thanks, Andy, for the video. I am only a golf “hacker” but an enthusiastic one 😛 Hubby and I visited St Andrews in May 2007 – before I got into golf, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to there. We saw all the things you showed – so they brought back some memories (the seafood restaurant, the beach, the 18th hole, the R&A club house, the castle etc).

    Andy: Liked the show but somewhat disappointed that you didn.’t show more of the “Old Course: Maybe I was expecting too much. Had the privilege and pleasure of playing the Old Course. I t was awesome. Loved it. A beautiful day in April many years ago. At 6:30 AM I was suprised to find not a soul on the course so took off down the first fairway alone played 10 or 12 holes before I was caught and asked for a fee, 10lbs. I believe. Stayed at Russacks. Played the 2nd round that same after noon with the foursome I came all the way from California to enjoy. If you plan to visit more courses , maybe show more of the course. Thanks for the show. Bobcgolf aka , Robert P.S. Shot the same score both rounds, 84. RC

    Dear Andy,

    I must admit that I was a bit skeptical of the 4 new magic moves. I teach Biology in the US and always need proof or evidence. I downloaded the free first four chapters and tried things out for myself. I had the opportunity to try things out this weekend and my results are amazing. I was hitting my 7 iron 200 yds without effort and my driver close to 300 yds.

    Most impressive was the direction the bal, it is traveling STRAIGHT. I wish golf had been taught to me in this simple manner several years ago. It would have taken out a great deal of frustration. Thank you,

    Clive Haddow from the Gold Coast in Australia talks about the impact The New Four Magic Moves have made to his game. Despite playing golf for 45 years it was only until he discovered The New Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf that he was able to reduce his handicap from 9 down to 6. Without doubt the First Move, namely the early backward wrist break was the key move for Chris. Life on the Gold Coast is very good for Chris but it just got better when he discovered these four proven secrets to golf success.

    Hi Andy,

    My Name is Bobby Asbill and I live in Nashville, TN. I have always been a decent golfer shooting 82 - 86 for the last 3 years. I joined your site and program one night on a whim and here I am writing to tell you how much I have improved and thank you for helping me enjoy golf more.

    I play once a week and my last four rounds are 76-78-74-78 ...My friends are in total shock and want to know what is going on. My drives are now 310 to 320 and I now hit my LW 120 instead of 75 yards.The game is more fun now and I feel and my friends say it all the time now that I am on the verge of shooting great scores.

    I played with 3 guys at the club the other day I didn 't know and now I 'm playing in a tournament with them. They could not believe my new found length and accuracy.It feels good and just wanted to share. hank you for helping me and changing my game.

    Dave Larsen from Wisconsin describes how The New Four Magic Moves has transformed his game. He downloaded The New Four Magic Moves To Winning Golf book 5 months ago and having read it he went straight to the golf range and his words: it changed his life, it's absolutely amazing! Dave has now increased his drives by about 50 yards and thus he finds himself hitting the ball 260 - 280 yards dead straight down the middle. His friends can't believe how well his game has improved! He still can't believe how well he is now playing with rounds around the 74 - 76 mark, far better than the 81s he used to shoot a few short months ago.

    Howdy Andy,

    I have been using the New Four Magic Moves off and on for the past 6 months with varied results, but that is my own fault as I also find myself slipping back into other ways of approaching the golf swing which has led to body and mind confusion.

    When I consistently stick to the First Magic Move, my bad swings at least result in straight shots and that is not too bad as this is far better results than lots of the other approaches to swings that create pulls, pushes slices and hooks as well as lots of topped and fat shots.

    I have been playing golf again after a 30+ year absence from the wonderful but often frustrating game. When I played before I was in my 20's and 30's and my golf swing was my own as I had neither taken lessons nor done much reading about the science and art of a gold swing. Gee, I wish I had known of the New Four Magic Moves back then.

    In summary, after playing around with at least 6 other approaches to the golf swing, I am now more convinced than ever that the New Four Magic Moves is about the only way to have a consistent golf game.

    Mike Morris from the South of England talks about how he has finally found something to help his golf game at GolfSwingSecretsRevealed.com.
