Fore Bros Handicaps: Declan, Ronan, Paddy and Conor Ranked

2026-11-14 · Handicaps

The Fore Bros are four brothers, Declan, Ronan, Patrick (Paddy) and Conor Moloney, and one of the most fun channels in UK golf, with 316,000 subscribers following their majors, money matches and challenges. They also play a lot of golf on camera: we've logged more than 300 rounds between the four of them.

They were also the first channel on the Handicap Tracker leaderboard. The very first round we ever logged is Ronan's 102 at The Oxfordshire, in part one of their own Masters in April 2023, with Declan and Paddy in the same video. That means we've watched their whole journey, and it's been quite a climb.

So who's the best golfer in the family? Here they are, ranked by handicap, as of 3 November 2026.

How far they've come

When their first rounds went on the site in 2023, all four brothers were somewhere between 30 and 40. Here's every brother's handicap since, all four on one chart. Conor took a break from the end of 2023, shaded on the chart, until he came back in September 2025:

Declan: 6.9

Declan is the best golfer in the family on our numbers, at 6.9. His best round is a 74 at Rhodes Ranch in the final of the Fore Bros Vegas Major, and he's broken 80 six times in the full rounds we've logged. His handicap has come down four tenths in the last month, too.

Ronan: 9.4, and the road to level par

Ronan has played more golf on camera than any of his brothers, 100 rounds, and he's on 9.4. He has a series of his own, chasing a level-par round, and he's close: his best is a 73 at The Rayleigh Club, one over, in episode 9. The latest episode, "My Best Chance Yet at Shooting Level Par", was back at The Rayleigh Club.

Paddy: 15.1, and a haircut avoided

Paddy is on 15.1, and he's the most improved brother right now: his handicap has dropped a full shot in the last month. His best round came with the highest stakes: in "If I Don't Break 90... I Shave My Head" he shot 85 at The Manor House. Hair saved.

Conor: 19.5

Conor is on 19.5, from 38 rounds, most of them this year as he's played more and more. His best is a 93 at Bowood Park in the Fore Bros Knockout Tournament. Breaking 90 looks like the next target.

Brother against brother

In the full rounds two brothers have played in the same video, the lower score to par wins. The family pecking order holds up, and the big one is the two eldest:

72 videos together. Ronan has the better best round, but Declan wins most days.

Full head to head

So Conor's best result in the family is against Paddy, and that one could go either way next time.

Their own majors

A big part of the channel is the Fore Bros' own tournaments, played at some brilliant courses: the Vegas Major at Rhodes Ranch, the Fore Bros Masters at Marco Simone, the PGA Championships at Finca Cortesin, the FB Major Championships at Doonbeg and the Knockout Tournament. Most recently they took on the UK's biggest amateur tournament at Celtic Manor.

Their videos carry custom score graphics made with our Score Graphics Generator, including their own major championship designs.

How we work these out

Every handicap on Handicap Tracker comes from rounds in YouTube videos. We log each round, allow for how tough the course and tees were, and a player's handicap comes from their best rounds among their latest 20. They move with every new video, so check each brother's profile for the latest.

Run your own majors

The Fore Bros' tournaments look like the real thing because every shot has a score graphic and every hole a scorecard. The Score Graphics Generator does that for your group too, with leaderboards as players hole out on Pro.
