0:00 | all right guys welcome back to another episode of break 75 back here again at wood Hall Spa this time guys joined us

0:06 | yes couldn’t make it yesterday but he’s here for today because we we are playing the hotchkin course which is often

0:13 | ranked in the top 50 golf courses in the world wow often rated top five in the UK

0:22 | so this is a special special Golf Course excited for this one I’ve heard great great things I’ve one of the those things about water Spa I’ve heard so

0:28 | many great things for so long only since yesterday which the video you would have seen already the Bracken course uh

0:33 | that’s the other Golf Course here it’s the first time I’ve actually been here uh you don’t know what happened yesterday do you no no idea spoiler

0:39 | alert if you’ve not watched last episode of braak 75 at w all Spar I’m just going to tell guy the results okay go on hit

0:46 | me front nine right I hit nine Greens in regulation nice I was two on the par

0:51 | gross well gross without your handicap right okay 200 power through nine feeling like on top of the world like I

0:58 | couldn’t do anything wrong if I know Rick Shields and I know Rick Shields this goes one way or the other so hit me

1:04 | with the punch line it’s for the drama of YouTube b nine on the last hole mhm

1:09 | I’m two over par okay so been a bit of a blit but four Bogies on the back nine innocent ones as well okay last hole I

1:15 | have to make par to Rak 75 yeah I uh I walk off with an

1:21 | eight oh my God what would that end up shooting then 78 70 well he broke 80 so

1:27 | 78 six overp power after being 200 for the front did you head go no off camera

1:33 | one teot uh there was a I didn’t drink I could have easily um I was a bit disappointed with myself anyway today we

1:40 | get another bite at the Cherry hotchkin Co 7,000 yards playing off the blue te’s today I feel a bit like when you order

1:47 | Ryan Ruffles from wish that’s the vibe I’m giving but if I play a little bit like him Rono win I like that um 357

1:55 | yards the first hole there’s a few bunkers down there so I’m actually just going to place a three iron in the middle of the Fairway what’s your goal

2:01 | today guy genuinely breaking 8 I’d be absolutely over the moon we’ve not played for 3 months properly

2:10 | so that should be all right if it misses them traps yeah stay there is that good looks

2:18 | it it’s getting a little bit close to a trap okay little bit draw a little bit left

2:25 | should be fine though okay I’ll let’s try a driver I’m going to try and hit more drivers today

2:31 | oh it’s thin oh no get down that might be out of

2:36 | bounds it’s all right it’s not that bad it’s fine it’s okay we’re off I’m excited for this one today so this is

2:43 | the course course planner this Tower apparently is quite iconic I think we see it on the fifth hole um I’m just

2:49 | want to check it is it a power 72 73 we got which ones we have blue

2:54 | blue 73 then yeah oh yeah P 73 three God I can’t

3:01 | last time play past 73 that makes break 75 a little bit harder okay that t-sh wasn’t the best

3:08 | but we’re in play 111 yards left into the flag going to hit 50° let’s hope it goes

3:16 | close need to get down oh no it’s pretty good take that

3:23 | nice shot new wedges in play as well this could be the answer this wedge my new wedges could actually be the tool that helps me beat Rick today who knows

3:31 | 114 yards I actually found the f after the T I was worried about these bunkers but nice layup 114 pin at the front just

3:39 | a little gap wedge fat get up

3:48 | ball yeah just a little bit heavy annoyingly okay like a disappointing

3:53 | strike from the Fairway there um I don’t know I just always felt like wasn’t quite comfortable over the shot for some

3:59 | reason uh anyway I’m just off the front of the green I am going to put it cuz there’s nothing in my way putting’s been really

4:04 | solid recent I’ve put this ping putter in the bag i’ been really enjoying it so let’s hope it works its magic

4:15 | today simmer oh pacy okay so I’ve got a

4:21 | different put out today got my even roll which I sometimes put in the bag and I do like it obviously but a few puts in

4:27 | the putting green then before we teed off and I was missing everything which obviously is down to me but I’m not got

4:32 | that much confidence now it’s a nice put just get this close really give me some confidence that I think I

4:40 | need keep going oh did better than I expected yeah

4:46 | thought it was going to stop straight away okay longer powerp put than I needed here after not good t-shot on the

4:53 | last two shots were a bit poor we’ve got a nice little downhill right to left let’s see if we can keep keep any Bogies

5:00 | off our card with this oh he’s he he’s come to play the

5:06 | hotk need that needed that little confidence booster that feel good yeah this this putter I’ve been really happy

5:13 | with let’s see if it can heat up today right this is a little knee knocker can I follow him in these are the kind of

5:19 | puts that can start around come

5:24 | on that’s harsh mate really harsh

5:31 | never mind okay after a fairly straightforward first hole stroking at 17 we’ve jumped now into a 440 yard par

5:39 | floor up the hill and we’ve got to thread the bunkers down there um it just requires a great t-shot basically if you

5:45 | can if you can split the Fairway then it should be a fairly straightforward

5:51 | hole oh tugged it miss miss miss miss it Miss it ah straighten it just tugged it a bit

6:01 | try and miss the traps is the key yeah perfect that was a good swing

6:07 | for me straight through the middle of them oh the advantage you get oh wow

6:13 | that nice bounce is it great Drive okay I’ve got very lucky there the

6:18 | bunker that I found off the tea is actually gu ground under repair because honestly in the UK at the moment we’re

6:23 | filming this in March had so much rain I’ve got lucky

6:30 | so 182 yards into the pin pin looks like it’s absolutely smack bang in the middle

6:36 | just get a nice 7 iron oh that’s going to be

6:45 | fantastic that could be really really

6:51 | good you got to take advantage when you get a bit of look in this game that was a great shot from Rick can’t see how

6:57 | close it is just yet but I think it’s going to be pretty close I’ve got 167 again that winds behind so

7:03 | go for an a tie in oh that’s heavy fly

7:09 | fly oh no it’s always going to be short okay o wow it’s a deep bunker but

7:14 | thankfully I’ve got a really nice lie Fight

7:22 | Hard that’s not hor it’s not bad at all it’s not bad at all right I thought mine

7:27 | was all over it actually wasn’t it’s a little bit fraction short but it’s still on the green which is good I’m going to

7:34 | leave the flag in for a touch of

7:39 | protection great put yeah solid very nice that just stay just came off a

7:45 | little bit low but happy with the speed yeah got lucky there poor t- shot

7:52 | but obviously managed to take a free drop for ground on the repair so Happy Days power power start this golf course

8:01 | it’s really impressing me so far I think it’s going to get better and better as we play okay so as you may have seen Joe

8:07 | one of our camera guide just went and got my putter from the car my real putter that would normally be a penalty I guess wouldn’t in a normal round of

8:13 | golf this is a bit of fun so no penalties here no excuses now either I’ve got my proper

8:18 | putter the other one was a brief AER didn’t work out got the spider

8:27 | back a better P better pop suppose it’s it’s a softer insert is it it is that’s

8:32 | the excuse thanks Rick no worries softer insert I honestly I I was so look at

8:37 | that think he’s going to box this I imagine if I had okay walk back to this next te I feel like it’s the course

8:43 | that’s going to really the first two have been very nice but it’s going to be the on course that kind of grow on you yes the more we get through the round

8:49 | it’s going to keep getting better and better third hole 414 yard 4133 yards uh

8:55 | I’m blind t-shot we can see the top of the flag but we can’t see the Fairway been told that line is over this path

9:00 | straight in front of us let rip a driver wow that’s a great

9:10 | shot yeah bouncing that’s a nice hit that okay I think cuz you can’t see any trouble it’s actually not that daunting

9:17 | correct as again mentioned there’s 143 bunks on this golf course I think if you can’t see him it’s

9:23 | better same line that was it pretty flush nice drive mate

9:30 | very nice okay so our t- shots are pretty much next to each other M’s in a little hole I got relief from little like rabbit scraping thing so um 144 for

9:39 | me I’m guessing 140 for Rick win behind us again every hole is out that way so I

9:44 | guess every hole win behind on the front nine going to try and hit a nice pitch in

9:51 | wedge oh be really good for distance just moved away at the end yeah I love the golf shop yeah happy with that

9:57 | though I’m glad you went before me there would you I have 9 in my hand as I stood over it I wasn’t quite sure but okay I’m

10:04 | going to go a little pitching wedge as well after seeing guys comfortably get there with

10:10 | wedge it helped my decision I’m going to go at the old shooting tower like an old

10:15 | shooting Lodge in the tower in the background which is actually the logo for this golf course so I’m going to go straight at that and just let the wind

10:21 | bring it back oh feel like I fighted it get up

10:28 | let’s trying it’s two shots

10:34 | now damn right I’ve not quite been striking my irons as good as I want to

10:40 | be just yet so another testing to put from

10:53 | here good pop stay there a bit Pacey couple of foot too hard a bit pacy

11:00 | okay 40 foot off a

11:05 | birdie roll oh we’ve not threatened it there have we I’ll go why Rick’s on the power

11:12 | run I’ll try and hold mine off the right

11:18 | side come on spider show us why you’re here yeah

11:25 | excellent salvaged uhoh six

11:32 | footer yes very nice that was nice but still never mind

11:38 | no one saw that didn’t want it anyway um making it a little bit harder work than I wanted

11:44 | to but this little bad boy has been fantastic so just need to have more puts

11:49 | for birdie rather than testing pops Cheers Cheers fourth hole 411 yard power four I

11:57 | feel like the first four holes have haven’t been easy uh this is back into Breeze as well so good straight t- shot

12:07 | required oh snapped it it

12:13 | bounced in line with that bunker a little Snappy on

12:22 | it floaty should be all right going be a long shot

12:28 | in yeah should be fine got fairly lucky here pulled it up the left hand side it’s hard on a t-shot heart to really

12:34 | commit to hitting it almost a blind Fairway really but anyway it’s not a bad

12:40 | spot 160 yards left into the pin into Breeze just going to hit a nice solid 7

12:46 | iron um let’s try and hit a greeny regulation I feel like my my iron striking from yesterday which would have

12:52 | been the other wood or Spar video was Sensational I feel like I’ve just not Struck it quite as well yet today

13:00 | let’s find a good strike and then let’s set up a nice some birdy

13:05 | opportunities oh I’ve Struck it amazing carry the bunker

13:11 | please how is that finish that [Laughter]

13:16 | shot I actually shot that great that’s a Miss Club a great strike wrong

13:23 | direction I’ve definitely misjudged that club I tried toit seven when I think that wind’s a lot stronger than I

13:28 | thought it was going to to be okay so I’ve got 148 and that wind is into the face Rick just give me some Intel and

13:33 | say look hit one more cuz it is windy it has come up well short so 150 I’m going to go with a 79

13:41 | actually feels like it’s play a hell of a lot more than

13:50 | 150 oh my gosh 7 in 150

13:59 | wow okay real misjudgment on the club there uh this is kind of 20 yard short

14:05 | of the flag uh I’ve got my gap wedge I’m just going to play a little low one and run it up there anything inside kind of

14:11 | 5T I feel like I can hold at the moment so let’s play a nice little

14:19 | chip a that was niit wasn’t far off 10 out of 10 for niage okay I’m not feeling

14:25 | quite as Brave as Rick on that one I’m going to go with a pitching wedge and just kind of bump and run it into this bank that’s the goal

14:37 | anyway yeah nice touch yeah it’s a little bit hard but happy with that just outside that range where I feel really

14:44 | really confident at the moment but putter has been hot let’s see if we can get nice up and

14:51 | down oh it’s not broke oh over rdit knew You’ missed that

14:56 | straight away yeah I just it kind of yeah just over R

15:03 | it a third boy on the

15:08 | scorecard oh man right get the other P back out I switch it around

15:15 | again it’s going to be the key today I think for PA of us those kind of five six Footers if you can hold them

15:21 | scorecards going to look pretty clean if you miss him it’s looking pretty filthy okay first PA

15:27 | three fifth hole the flag’s playing bang on 150 yards but as you can see from the aerial footage the pin is so far to the

15:35 | right hand side of the green it’s barely on the green um into wind so I’m going to Club up significantly I’ve actually

15:41 | got six9 in my hand just whatever I do I can’t miss to the right that’s almost a guaranteed

15:49 | bogey oh strike stay there get

15:56 | down wow that was a bit big yeah I think the flight with it being so

16:02 | low just completely kept it below the wind I’m kind of go kind to go in between the two then I’m going to go for a six

16:08 | in bit of a chippy one but not that chippy oh that’s

16:16 | fantastic that is fantastic oh

16:21 | wowers didn’t think you could even get to the right hand side of that flag that is fantastic it’s nice that when you try

16:28 | and play play a goal sh and actually hit it it doesn’t happen very often for me obviously but that was not bad just off

16:34 | the side of the green here I think it was the right Club I just played it a little bit too

16:40 | lowlighted it’s got a little delicate chip from the side of the green let’s get this one up and

16:50 | down Oh my he Lear to Chip he’s absolutely learned that’s a great shot

16:56 | nicely judged tell you what it’s nice to see Jokes Aside obviously Rick’s had some spells not chipping great and then chipping okay that then even regardless

17:03 | of the result technique looked great and it has gone two foot away that’s nice

17:08 | right guy yours is actually it’s a shame it’s not come off that bank I know I think greens were faster it would have

17:14 | come right down it’s one of those now I’ve got a legitimate birdie chance but I’ve also got just make sure two put this cuz it could be a little bit of a

17:20 | slime you on so love to hold it really would go mate knock it

17:27 | in oh proper thought you had that ah thought I had a CH you was a

17:34 | little bit pacy but I did think it had a good chance one of those ones I prer to bite my tongue I didn’t want to jinx it

17:40 | I wanted the two but let’s just make sure I get the three

17:46 | yeah have to go for the two yeah so got a tiny bit of break in this just off that right side down the

17:54 | hill yeah just it’s in just enough nice P thanks pal nice hole just enough six

18:02 | hole par five pretty much dead straight down there cracking looking hole stroke

18:08 | one that’s quite rare for a par five I’m enjoying this today it’s um very nice

18:13 | golf course and because we’re playing this time of year the roof isn’t too long touch wood so if we spray it a

18:19 | little bit it’s findable really do want to try and break ATM 3 over through five holes so

18:24 | breaking 8 is probably just about on all right down Breeze par five

18:30 | let’s turn on the boosters there is any in

18:36 | there oh little left

18:42 | again oh not quite finding the driver today little bit left ah really wanted a

18:50 | big rocket down the Fairway then it’s a bit thin that’s fine it’ll

18:57 | do all right

19:03 | yeah you do get rewarded pitting the fway don’t you yeah I don’t I wouldn’t know okay not a good t- shot for me yet

19:10 | I’m not quite finding my direction we driver just yet but I’ll get it um 270

19:15 | away out of this wispy grass but it’s on a nice Li I’m actually going to just rip a three-wood get it as close as we can

19:21 | down 270 yards away from the flag but down Breeze there there’s a chance of be able

19:27 | to get there but it’s going to take a big hit

19:33 | missed that bunker oh yeah missed

19:39 | it yeah that was all right just need that tree little chip little pitch in from there okay i’ got 250 left of the

19:46 | flag kind in between clubs between a three iron and a three wood that distance on paper would normally always

19:52 | be a three wood but there’s a lot of wind behind and these Fairways certainly for the time year are really nice and kind of bouncing so trying to hit

19:58 | committed 3 IR in and hopefully it’ll roll up there oh it well pulled

20:04 | it h it really well yeah it bounced you that really

20:10 | well mate be okay okay so walking down to the green I’m actually not far off I’m just maybe

20:17 | 30 yards short oh my God this pin is ridiculous what the hell it’s about one

20:24 | and a half yards and then it’s then it’s off wow they’ really tooked these pins

20:29 | in the corners today don’t know ifv don’t want me breaking 75 did

20:35 | they okay I know that I need to leave this short of the flag but I’ve obviously got to be aggressive enough to

20:41 | get it up and over the

20:53 | bunker damn thin it okay so that three of mine hit this C kind of bit of um heathery stuff and

21:00 | then bounce Into the Bunker actually the right club by looks of things which just obviously slightly pulled quite a long

21:06 | bunker shot now okay come on let’s h a good shot no it’s fat big

21:13 | bounce no was a bad shot that bad shot it’s hard those like kind of longer

21:20 | bunker shots I do struggle with short bunker shots I’m fine with or have conference with at least but them longer ones I just don’t like them I’ll get you

21:28 | fot print as well don’t worry about it okay probably should put this but fan in

21:33 | a little chip take the

21:39 | break H average

21:44 | average okay after just thinning that little Chip Shot just ran over the back of the green here a spot where I didn’t

21:51 | really want to go to but I could have played a good chip and finished here anyway uh back up the hill I’m going to

21:57 | use putter from here it went really quickly left not bad for

22:05 | Speed yeah not horrendous after that t- shot I should

22:11 | not be having this putt left a par really it was a decent t- shot on a par five with wind Hing behind us so I’m

22:19 | going to send it home Rick send it home baby this ball is going home for p

22:30 | the spider it’s on his last leg seven of the legs have gone he got one leg left and it might

22:39 | snap any moment ah okay little left to right one slippery one for my P I do

22:45 | feel like this last the last hole pin and this hole pin is a bit

22:51 | ridiculous yeah tickled in yeah that’ll uh pass sa but I hope there’s not many

22:57 | more pins like that today one over through six and four over it’s a tough you know

23:04 | what I don’t we did actually mention this earlier this course has the highest slope rating any course in England

23:11 | really the hardest golf course in England oh wow that makes you feel a bit better that feels miles better seventh

23:17 | hole is a 470 yard par for dog leg to the right uh off this back back T it’s a

23:23 | hell of a hit um Fairway is so key around this golf course cuz if you can

23:28 | hit the fairways we’ve seen certainly from guys t- shots it’s actually bounding down the Fairway so I need to

23:34 | find a fairway make this hole much shorter oh if it’s got enough on it

23:40 | that’s A1 don’t know if it has no I think it’s a bit meant to go

23:48 | feel like I’ve it a little bit left a little bit right with driver today can’t seem to Fed it down the Fairway they

23:54 | call that Army golf in my I know I can’t seem to get it going straight that trapped the line and just peel it off

23:59 | just left that trap it’s not over the corner right okay that last little bogey then has put a little bit of Venom in

24:04 | this don’t be surprised if this goes 400 yards great Drive Mr

24:15 | bunker it bounced in and I think hopped over I hope you’re right I think it went

24:23 | in then pot out okay got 165 yards after a good t- shot one 65 normally would be

24:29 | a 7 iron but there is wind behind but having said that I’ve been comt a bit short so I’m going to go for 7 iron I’ll

24:35 | try and favor the right side more but then that wind is up now what’s long is it dead long or right

24:43 | I’ll go wait I if it comes up short then I’ll learn my lesson it’s a fraction heavy but

24:52 | go excellent yeah really nice shot mate okay after we really Drive I’ve just

24:59 | pushed it up the right but it was a mega hit 145 yards left of the flag down Breeze I’m just going to hit a 90%

25:05 | pitching wedge and just keep it right at that pin anything next to guys or closer would be a huge

25:23 | result it’s just come out very very very hot I tried to H it soft but it

25:29 | absolutely flew out that roof okay slightly longer range birdie

25:34 | put than I wanted on this hole just that pitching right just came out so hot uh it’s not a bad put though slightly up

25:41 | the hill it’s actually going to be moving ever slightly left as it finishes the P but then the wind’s pushing off

25:47 | the left so it’s actually going to be fairly straight overall I feel another very closely to the edge cut

25:54 | pin but we’re on the right side of it thankfully come on let’s roll one roll one

26:06 | in such a good Port pacy wow really good roll I thought

26:12 | I had that then yeah it look struck well come on then first birdie of the round be a nice one

26:22 | this oh that was weak got that P

26:28 | that was weak okay definitely further away than I want it to be for par

26:33 | here up the hill slightly left to

26:39 | right first bad put I feel look bad didn’t read that first put

26:45 | being so downhill to be honest oh silly very silly bogey from there okay eighth

26:50 | hole part three playing 185 yards today into Breeze pins like it’s tucked on

26:56 | that right corner uh just a solid long long I mean four you four as well I’m in

27:02 | between a four and a three be honest with you I feel it’s getting longer the more look at it I’ll go for R and

27:08 | commit great strike there plenty of

27:14 | Club lovely yeah it’s all right take very good strike I’m just going to start it at the flag and just draw it off

27:19 | similar shot to yours that wind just got right up as it

27:26 | hit your so hope you’ve got enough Club get

27:35 | damn I don’t if you felt it that wind proper got up yeah so I’ve managed to get a free drop out that bunker got

27:41 | lucky but this isn’t this isn’t going to be the easiest shot in the world got to fly it a lot of the way and then it

27:47 | starts running away from me past the

27:55 | flag just got a bit of lucky there thought he might just ran down that hill of touch putter has been been off so far

28:02 | so this one just need to Nestle close to the PIN to give me that Topp in p on this tough par

28:09 | three come on roll out oh my word that’s

28:14 | horrendous what is up with me Rick what’s that what’s wrong with me I think that Putter’s got in your head mate come

28:20 | on Salvage it with a good p

28:29 | ah

28:35 | right I can’t say much more than that I’m afraid right okay for p be getting

28:40 | up and down from the front of the green absolutely dead straight put

28:46 | this yes well done mate great dead straight put right Salvage the P gu has

28:53 | been my friend today two over through a

28:59 | could have been a lot better I could have but also could have been a lot worse let’s see if we get one Birdie on

29:06 | the ninth ninth hole 583 yd par five there’s nothing short around this place

29:12 | look it’s down Breeze I’m going to absolutely ton it I need to find Fairway come on driver in fact don’t think about finding

29:19 | Fairway just think about bashing it as hard as you can it he’s got the Muller just a little bit

29:26 | right should be all right though oh wow that’s

29:31 | huge yeah I’m not offended by that I think that’s good I am offended if I out drive you Rick if

29:38 | you’ve got to announce that camera that I’m longer just and just better on this t-shirt on this no in general right come

29:45 | on it’s on the same line recoiling

29:52 | everything it was high out the face and what about if you’re not is it the is that you next to me

29:59 | yeah I think you beat me I think that’s me just passed you yeah okay so you might have heard at the

30:05 | start we had a little long drive comp let’s see what the difference is 27 yards what’s the real difference

30:14 | seven seven but I’m straigh so I would personally don’t like you guys I’d sacrific seven yards for a more accurate

30:21 | t-shot but whatever um well done Rick long way don’t even know how far it is

30:28 | is it’s several hundred yards it’s a three wood and it’s everything of

30:36 | it oh tonked it’s going to be very short

30:43 | but you say that so what I do come here turn up five

30:49 | power through eight ripping it best I hit it okay I’m just driving a little thing here I’m 285 away from the flag

30:56 | don’t really want to leave myself that fiddly little yardage what’s what’s what’s the fiddly

31:02 | yardage like a 30 the one that You’ just put yourself to but you’re really good from there I’m really good from there

31:08 | now I could go driver okay Three Wood let’s give it a

31:15 | rocket oh my strike stop

31:21 | turning oh that was mullered has it got there I think it’s not far off the front

31:27 | well done thanks mate just two good golfers playing this part five nothing to see here don’t

31:33 | worry about it it’s all under control don’t get too excited okay this quite a fiddly shot

31:38 | there’s a huge slope before the pin and there’s wind behind which isn’t the best

31:44 | combination really so I’m have to try and Float one I’m try get all the way there I

31:49 | can’t don’t want to entertain that bank really a you son of a gun

31:58 | I tried to use the bounce and didn’t use the bounce tough really tough shot it’s the

32:06 | one I was fearful of right I’ve actually gave my 3ood a real real Tonk and I’ve almost got on

32:14 | the front of the green I’m I’m a little bit come here come here get in here I’m

32:19 | a little bit frustrated with these pin positions today already played the front line there been three or four very very

32:25 | questionable pin positions this one again it’s right up behind a massive

32:30 | slope don’t think the green keeper or the club wants us to shoot a good score here today that’s a crazy

32:38 | pin um I’ve got to literally go over this hump back whale on the right and

32:44 | it’s going to slope fast

32:50 | down see that no idea what this is going to do now oh wow oh my word that’s that’s a

32:58 | great golf shot thank you very much great pin positions the it needs a bit

33:03 | of imagination wow that’s how you do

33:16 | it okay the put has been off today this this save par would be uh

33:23 | pivotal come on guy knock it in come on

33:29 | no oh mate stuck on the bogey

33:35 | train feel you hit some really well asit it for a long time but just can’t seem

33:40 | to P okay for birdie finish the front nine one overpar yeah well done mate thank you

33:48 | thank you that was a great Birdie on that par five really good driver Smash

33:54 | Three Wood and a great up and down from the front of the green we both did the hard work of the good t-shot on Freewood

34:01 | and then Rick just obviously made a really good Port it’s the difference isn’t it it’s all well and good doing

34:06 | the the t- shots but around the green is really what you need to be producing to get a good

34:24 | score okay yesterday’s uh round which obviously previous episode thank you so

34:30 | much had the sausage roll at the halfway house and I feel like for me as much as it was tasting delicious i’ not been on

34:36 | the sausage roll for about six months and my golf game went like that so I’m avoiding sausage roll this time going to

34:42 | go with soup and a sandwich no rating needed okay we enter the bat nine um

34:49 | actually a fairly straightforward I’m saying straightforward a whole it’s under 400 yard power for 340 yards

34:55 | slight dog leg right uh scores on one you I’m six over

35:01 | doesn’t feel like that Rick doesn’t I think You’ hit it well if I could break eight is still on so that’s my goal 7 oh

35:06 | I can’t drop any more shots then now me because it’s p 73 I’ve also got shoot level par we go both L shoot level par

35:13 | then uh straight that white sign three IR off the te oh

35:22 | yeah yes yes yes nice shot yeah thanks pal should be good

35:29 | well pulled it get down oh that’s okay longer shot in but

35:37 | it’s okay imine uh imine shooting on the par back nine okay got 104 yards left into the

35:44 | flag and it’s absolutely belting it behind this wind it’s so strong the flag’s just doing that so we on a 54

35:51 | degree wedge nice kind of 3/4 full one put it

35:56 | close get left get up go and get

36:02 | left all right Nice Shot okay after a good t-shot 97 yards left to the pin

36:08 | like Guy this is straight down wind so I’ve got 56° in my hand I’m just going to hit a 3/4 one in my head I’m hitting

36:15 | this 75 yards be

36:22 | good spin hard yeah looks all right that I think is it that’s really good good

36:27 | yeah I couldn’t quite see so we bued this hole I think so I think you a nice shot thanks B it’s not my favorite shot

36:34 | that and like I played it nicely I think this used to be confident on these shots and then you’ll hit them close it’s all

36:39 | it is confidence yeah that’s nice oh that’s very close in fact 30 time it’s going in it’s a star

36:46 | of a new nine Rick oh it’s so

36:54 | low okay come on pretty much dead straight slightly up the hill I can be

37:00 | aggressive for back to back birdes to get back to level

37:06 | par a just dragged it a

37:12 | touch oh just dragged it a

37:19 | fraction I also don’t think it’s as straight as I thought it

37:24 | was yeah nice well done 11 th hole 436 yd Par Four down the hill pretty much

37:30 | dead straight uh we have to go back over the golf boogies we’ve not parked them in a great spot there but just feed it

37:36 | straight through the the middle yeah I’d like that little thin and

37:43 | then dig in

37:48 | simed it’s all right but he but fine okay over the

37:55 | boogies similar to mine that’s yeah it should be a little bit less cuty but it’s all

38:03 | right yeah right next to each other right 186 win into the

38:08 | teeth this this doesn’t scare me cuz I know I’m a ball Striker it’s the two puts that scare

38:15 | me yeah great

38:20 | strike really ni six four jeez 186 into

38:25 | the win that was by the way that was a good shot I don’t think anyone would justify say good shot again make it more

38:31 | enthusiastic great shot that was a really good shot no one’s bothered right I’m going to have to be quite creative

38:37 | here um I’m blocked out from the pin I can’t go over it I can’t go under

38:43 | it I’m going to have to go around it it’s 180 yards wind thankfully for me is

38:48 | helping like kind of into it off the left so I need to play basic a big big slicing shot and try and get it riding

38:55 | on the Wind oh you’ve done it too much

39:05 | mate oh way too much it came out too straight almost I don’t know

39:12 | how I must I must have obviously kept the face open and swung massively left I needed to shut the face a bit

39:19 | more okay this isn’t uh this isn’t ideal it’s absolutely buried in this Gorge

39:26 | bush oh my God am I going to be able to hit it I really want to go for it but it’s

39:34 | a it’s going to be a render if it doesn’t come off but there let’s go for

39:42 | it don’t know if it’s going to get through that think it’ll come out of that that again do you think it’ll come

39:48 | out that’s a thought I don’t think you’ll hit it and then if you do I don’t think I

39:53 | don’t probably I would say no personally cuz you’re going to go go dry further into that fancy it go for

40:01 | it I think that’s almost like full hit it though okay I’m just going to go for

40:07 | it this might be a stupid shot but so be

40:14 | it wow that’s actually a really good shot just to move it forward out of that well

40:20 | done mate yeah well done better than taking the drop yeah definitely okay

40:28 | another really spicy pin position it’s just on the top of that

40:35 | Cliff I’ve managed to hack it out here to the front of the green uh I would chip it but I don’t

40:41 | know I just feel like I’m I’ve got a better chance to get this up and down my

40:48 | putter get up the hill no

40:57 | that’s a a stupid pin so Rick’s had a bit of trouble

41:04 | obviously in that long go but it was truthfully was a good [ __ ] out that it was I don’t think I’d have played it to be honest with

41:10 | you this though is for a birdie this is a big

41:16 | pot get there you son of a gun m not horrendous considering my

41:22 | current standard I’ll send it home

41:28 | for a bog in after just really one bad shot on this hole

41:33 | but she pretty straight up the hill come on make it worth me risking it

41:40 | hitting out that

41:47 | bush ah frustrating very frustrating double bogey ah first run of the round okay

41:55 | 12th hole 170 yards pins at the back left corner you’ll see again from the aerial footage it’s just barely

42:03 | marginally on the green the flag 177 yards to the back left pin uh I’ve got

42:09 | 79 in hand I’ve got a six and a seven but I’m going to go for the smooth six just I don’t know

42:15 | why great shot great shot go in the

42:21 | hole the part three has been fantastic today that was nice okay middle of the

42:28 | green just let the wind bring it back anything next to guys will be very happy

42:35 | with not there Rick oh that’s going to be

42:43 | interesting okay after missing the green to the left I’ve also thankfully missed that massive bunker um but this is the

42:50 | shot I’ve got in hand now uh the pin is on the green by two

42:55 | yards um I’m into Breeze this one’s going in I mean this is

43:02 | literally imposs well near impossible but you never know a little cheeky one

43:09 | little send it up in the in the sky oh that’s a golf shot and a

43:16 | half that is a phenomenal golf shot that was good as I could have done

43:22 | it’s as good as I could have done that was great okay after a really nice little chip there from the side of the

43:27 | green we’ve got this up the hill slightly right to left see if we can salvage par if we want to keep the dream

43:32 | alive of breaking 75 today this has to drop otherwise we need a bucket load of

43:40 | birdies oh that’s the best up and down of his life well done thanks mate very

43:46 | well done thank you right come on then let’s knock this one in for for bird sorry oh this is needed is it it really

43:52 | is needed come on at least give it a

43:58 | try slightly right

44:12 | side why am I doing all the hard work well watch now right put it back dead

44:17 | casually go yeah a little birdie put I can do it

44:30 | I didn’t think we’d be walking off that hole with the same score 13th hole PA four 452 yards

44:37 | straight back into te I feel like it’s there’s some really long testing power fours around

44:42 | here the only good thing Rick at missing short puts of Birdie is they get a little more Venom on the XT I like it so

44:51 | get ready for the Venom oh hold your line

44:57 | that’s not good yeah should be fine is it not

45:05 | sure was a bad push I just keep on these last couple of t- shots I keep seeing

45:10 | this big fade I’m going to play for it this time no no no no fade fade fade fade

45:20 | fade yeah it should be fine but it was a weak strike oh struggl to find the fairways

45:26 | today okay I’ve hit the top of this bunker bit of a weak driver again afraid I’m a long

45:32 | way into this hole 220 yards back into wind really it’s probably a fivewood but

45:39 | I’ve not got one I’ve only got three iron so I’m going to try and absolutely crush this as high as I can and see if

45:44 | we can get it anywhere near the front of the green no stay short of

45:53 | it yeah terrible strike I’m afraid went for it a bit too much okay so my t-shot

45:59 | although blocked it massively it’s actually okay just on this first cut got

46:04 | 200 yards the flag howling win into the face so it’s going to have to be a a 3

46:12 | unfortunately great

46:17 | strike oh gun shot could Struck it much better it’s a long hole today that one

46:24 | okay uh after a poorly struck three ey I’ve left myself 60 yards from the flag

46:29 | pin just in that front left pocket slightly into Breeze let’s set a nice little 60 little

46:35 | 56 wedge and stick it

46:47 | close Struck it great just air mailed it okay so my three ey in well struck

46:53 | nicely it’s come up short little hopefully a simple chip to the flag leave yourself a tap input not

47:00 | sure quite what a tap input is anymore but something

47:06 | easy oh that first bounce killed it oh it’s so soft why have we done

47:13 | that come on I’m doing all the hard work well the long irons the driving and it

47:18 | comes to what should be the bread and butter stuff and I’m making it so hard and if you want to score at golf as you know you’ve got to be doing the simple

47:25 | stuff well ah okay after uh three kind of somewhat mediocre goal

47:34 | shots I’ve got this long range put for par feel like I need something to drop

47:40 | and then we’ve got hope for the last few holes again to try and break 75 here I need to make two more birdies from this

47:47 | point so par is definitely

47:54 | needed oh really good put again really nice put good put I’m six

48:01 | over power a whole list and powering I’ve broke at this is needed this is

48:07 | needed Oh I thought that was in I thought it was in can’t buy a put today I was about a fist pump it was

48:14 | there you can’t buy a

48:22 | put Rick would you look down at me if start cheating at golf think I might have to put put me down for a four cuz I

48:28 | got a four then ah I know what everyone’s going to say

48:34 | is on the comment should have St that put yet on the first maybe I should maybe I should maybe you’re right well

48:39 | done you’re right congratulations okay last few holes uh I think they’re all back into wind uh for

48:46 | the last five uh scores and doors I’m four over now I’m seven over now so we

48:52 | both need to we both need to shoot on the path from here to hit our respective targets is a high five though 518 yards

48:58 | are much more reachable You’ think in two uh good drive needed oh that could not be any

49:10 | better yeah I’m guessing that’s perfect that could not be any better I reckon if I

49:16 | could put i’ have a chance at the open qualifying oh he he has to go one up

49:24 | don’t he he can’t resist me in a good team shot hopefully that’s good well done

49:32 | well done fair play right okay so my t- shott has somehow ended up here not very

49:40 | far what am I doing here now try and blast this out and get it down the

49:46 | Fairway oh nice really well done thank you I could uh I could spend a few

49:54 | minutes here talking about the distance gap between me and guys there but we don’t need to linger on it I’m 240 yards

50:00 | away from the pin I’m going to rip a three-wood straight at it get on the Green in one in two in one

50:07 | into let’s see if we can make an eagle oh Struck it so good as

50:17 | well looks like it’s in line with the next T not horrendous I don’t think be honest

50:23 | how did my t-shirt end up 60 yard behind yours did you getting punked are you

50:30 | pranking me there’s no way I nailed that that’s the thing if you said you hadn’t hit it well then but you said you hit it

50:38 | absolutely you didn’t you quote if you could put you maybe be going for open qualified maybe I said that maybe got

50:45 | car it away oh no oh well you’ve left yourself a full shot and for a third good recovery okay

50:52 | so my shut out the bunker has come to here hit it really well actually but 169 into the PIN

50:57 | win into the teeth going go for a five iron not got the best of actual lies

51:03 | here ball is like above my feet Etc but a I don’t want to go

51:13 | left great strike okay just off the side of the Green in two uh I think I could

51:18 | have got to the green if I kept it online but just pulled it a touch she got this little pitch on the side of the

51:24 | green I’d like another birdie couple of birdies actually let’s get up and down

51:30 | from

51:36 | here shot good thanks mate it’s good for distance it’s a little bit right but not

51:44 | terrible okay so my five inine that did hit well pulled it down here now not

51:50 | ideal 58° wedge this club actually has a wife name on it if I don’t hit this shot well going to double

51:57 | not my fault it’s on my club if hits it well then maybe we’ll renew our vows come on let’s get this close tap

52:05 | the power in oh no oh

52:11 | no divorcees on the card don’t tell my wife anyone that said

52:16 | that cuz she might divorce me that was pathetic swapping back to the original put from the first hole if a hole listen

52:22 | it goes in obviously I’d be happy but then I’ll be thinking why there swap backs the sper after the first hole

52:28 | head’s an ass right now the good news today is I’ve made no double Bogies the

52:33 | bad news today is I’ve made a hell of a lot of bogeys if this doesn’t go in it’s one more bogey if this goes in Rick give

52:40 | me 20 quid okay all right there we go we all know if there’s money in the line it’s going in going to say how do I win

52:46 | on this cuz you want me to hold a p I do want to hold it 20 quid 20 quid 20

52:53 | quid 20 quid 20 quid 20 quid Oh I thought that was in

52:59 | a only a ten then for the two another

53:05 | bogy okay birdie opportunity here not a lot of break in it dead straight put

53:11 | super super

53:17 | flat

53:22 | oh just never quite stayed online did it it’s never quite stayed

53:30 | online in Papa ah needy birdes 15th hole power four only 321 yards slightly

53:36 | uphill and a very subtle dogler to the right loads of bunkers down there so been recommended to hit like a 200 yard

53:42 | golf shot and leave ourselves about 120 yards in I’ve got five iron come on

53:48 | three holes to go four holes to

53:53 | go t heavy but should be fine one those couldn’t work out if you nailed at us quite heavy but yeah just a touch heavy

54:00 | oh good feel like we’re playing a little pitch and put four and five R of the putter let’s make this hole into a pitch

54:06 | and put then let’s make sure we make the most of it four R for me that was

54:13 | thrush doy doy dooo Mega baffles me not very good at go

54:21 | thank you right 50 hole come on we need we need to I feel

54:28 | like we need to stick one within like three foot I know we will we will get some birdies in three foot is a chance of making Bird Okay 132 yards into this

54:36 | pin I saw this pin before when I was on that par five and it’s right in the back

54:41 | right corner so slightly left of the pin and pin high is what I’m aiming for Gat wedge in hand just a nice a nice

54:49 | comfortable little gap wedge oh

54:54 | wow be good

54:59 | I can’t see from here but got a feeling it’s a bit short looked a little spinny

55:05 | kind of getting that off him I’ve Got a Feeling feel is a little bit short okay 106 yards I’m go the 3/4 50 let’s get it

55:15 | close it’s a bit heavy but

55:24 | go I feel like today I know I’ve said it probably already so correct me not

55:29 | correct me I’m talking rubbish feel free to tell me Shut up but shook it well on

55:35 | the hole which is good haven’t scored but at the same time I love it

55:42 | and playing a new golf course yes I want to play well but I I want to at least hit good shots and not be looking for balls all the time today so far no golf

55:49 | balls are lost which that in itself would be a massive achievement 18 holes and one golf ball that would be

55:56 | impressive for me so let’s see if what happens okay a little bit short of my wed shot there I knew I couldn’t go long and I couldn’t go right but then it’s

56:03 | kind of pitched in the middle of the green and spun back quite a lot considering it was downwind long range put now for bird and it’s actually

56:10 | sloping a long way from right to

56:18 | left it’s absolutely in the heart of it it was never going in but it was a

56:24 | good pot it was absolutely in the heart it was always a little bit short but it was a nice put that this is the time

56:31 | this is my time to shine and they over par to get to Seven it’s going in come

56:36 | on 20 quid inside Rick’s ball

56:43 | marker I need to hit the port what is wrong with me I don’t know M what is

56:49 | wrong with me what the hell I don’t think I’ve ever seen you put as bad in my life not even like threaten the hole

56:57 | it’s not like guy he’s normally a pretty good putter I would honestly say today genuinely I’ve Struck it probably one of the best I’ve Struck it in terms of like

57:03 | no mistakes really well really not many mistakes then put in have you done something to me have

57:09 | you done something to put have you swapped again yeah maybe that’s part of it bling the club

57:16 | right I tell you what can you do me a favor if I get this thing can have some pass sace yeah yeah okay please I some

57:23 | pass sauce right there’s no guarantees but yeah

57:28 | okay for some par I just SP everywhere for some par sauce yes well done mate really well

57:36 | done great T thanks mate okay little couple of feet left for

57:43 | par yep four over three to play come on I need to BU

57:49 | the all three holes to shoot 74

57:57 | okay 16th hole Par Four 393 yards dead straight Fairway

58:03 | needed Oh shot stay there that ball flight’s

58:10 | lovely yeah has gain a bit of speed the old dog hone the old manood opening in

58:16 | YouTube go there’s a little bit of B CLE you what do you say what cycle of

58:23 | steroids you want right come

58:30 | on that’s really nice thanks after a nice t-shot I’ve

58:37 | just come into the first little bit of rof it’s not been dead dead straight my driver today which has been frustrating but not terrible um guys pretty much

58:44 | level me just on the other side of the of the uh hole in the roof just similar to me it’s 160 yards pins right at the

58:51 | back and it’s into Breeze and kind of normally I would hit iron actually I think I’m going to hit

58:58 | six iron oh no get

59:08 | down it’s just right pin ey but right okay I’m in between clubs I’m going go for a soft five there’s a lot of wind up

59:15 | there so go for a smooth controlled five I in well it’s heavy I’ll get away with it

59:26 | I think so just what you want when you’re putting hasn’t been great is a 60 foot

59:34 | putt H watch me hold this

59:50 | now sorry okay just off the side of the green actually perfect for distance just

59:56 | pushed it a fraction not horrendous um just got to go over this little

1:00:02 | hump and then it actually runs it should run out

1:00:08 | nicely oh RI smashed it absolutely smashed it I’m made

1:00:14 | overpar if I miss this I got a nine overpar that’s how math Works

1:00:20 | Rick and always feel like nine over p is the worst ever want to shoot cuz it’s like a nine handicap it single figure

1:00:26 | golfer so if I miss this there’s no more Drop shots the next two holes so if I hold this big fist

1:00:33 | pump come on down the hill let’s just give it a chance do don’t leave it

1:00:43 | short you didn’t leave it short have I upset you today without no

1:00:50 | not at all I mean you you surprised me let you down as such or

1:01:00 | it’s getting the I’m quite enjoying it it’s funny but I need to S try not three foot

1:01:05 | or powerp way longer powerp than I should have had I should have this is

1:01:11 | pretty much dead straight back down the hill but it’s not going to be super

1:01:17 | fast oh it’s how it’s done it’s absolutely how it’s done in it I made it

1:01:22 | a bit hard to work but that’s nice okay two to play still four over a par four then a par five to finish okay 17th hole

1:01:30 | 331 yards slight dog leg left there’s a silver birch down there we want to smash our ball

1:01:36 | down saying all the right things right come on i’ like one more birdie just to

1:01:43 | finish oh wow he’s like a young tiger young Robin Tiger Williams is that

1:01:50 | good take it a little bit of trouble oh is it how much where be right of that see the the

1:01:56 | real silver one right there a little bit left of it but all right okay start at the flag curl it back on that silver

1:02:03 | birch job done yeah

1:02:14 | perfect y 101 yards to the flag into the breeze again so I’m going to go for a

1:02:19 | nice 3/4 50° could really really really really really really do with a birdie so

1:02:26 | this needs to go close cuz I ain’t going to hold any putts this need to go in then really for Eagle I ain’t going to hold any

1:02:37 | putts ah it’s a bit heavy ah how big that divit was okay just come up in this

1:02:43 | left hand roof nothing too bad 91 yards to the flag into Breeze just going to play a 56 degree

1:02:50 | wedge but try to lower the flight looking at that pin it’s very much tucked back right so I’m going to try

1:02:55 | and keep it B pin High left that’s the

1:03:02 | goal not weird that is a big tug big tug big pull

1:03:10 | okay I got about 40 foot here for birdie I say for birdie I’m thinking two foot for power is what I’m really going for

1:03:16 | let’s be honest but you never know strange things happen on the golf course you least expect it can I sink it for a

1:03:24 | birdie crowd will go wild if I

1:03:31 | do I’m doing that cuz I’ve two puted not cuz it’s nearly gone in nice do p thank

1:03:45 | you after being very short hole but we’ve got this one slippery one just down the hill right to left

1:03:56 | [Music] y oh okay final Hole uh slightly

1:04:04 | disappointed with that bogey there on the last um Power five coming up 534

1:04:09 | yards um pretty much dead straight down I’m going to bird It Go For It show me what you going to do bird it I’ll do my

1:04:14 | best two birdies coming right up no cut it oh no get

1:04:22 | down oh that’s going to be bad is it is that going to be gone oh no the one bad Drive the whole round

1:04:30 | is on 18 that’s

1:04:36 | annoying great shot mate

1:04:42 | that yeah I got H okay little provisional think that first one is

1:04:47 | 99.9% gone there we go it’s better maybe a bit too far left down or

1:04:56 | good try though pal it’s all right okay so my t-shot was a horrendous slice probably the worst t-shot of hit all day

1:05:03 | in fact definitely the worst t-shot and I’ve stayed in bounds by about seven yards did say before lost the ball all

1:05:09 | the way around that’s still the same so far so as long as nothing crazy happens here I’ve used the same ball n i in

1:05:16 | punch it out get back on the fway

1:05:24 | sh yeah that’s what I wanted to do found the fair we after the last tea

1:05:31 | I’m a long way in though it’s brutally cold and into Breeze I’m 270 yard 275

1:05:36 | yards left into the flag five though in it I know I am going to actually lay it up six9 down there

1:05:43 | and then leave myself a 100 yard shot in strike stay

1:05:52 | there yeah sh thank you a little bit pulley but got fine all right so my um

1:05:58 | chip out of the trees then was actually pretty successful took the medicine nicely and now I’ve got 205 yards left

1:06:04 | into this hole which isn’t ideal but it is a par five so going to go four R in someone in the in a blue top at the back

1:06:09 | of the green they’re my target called it don’t rise too

1:06:19 | much yeah very nice well done mate thanks I work to Leave Myself 100 yards left in I’ve left myself 90 yards no

1:06:27 | excuses little gap wedge to what looks like a very tight right front

1:06:34 | pin sit down a bit sit down a bit oh

1:06:39 | nice think is it a bit long or is it good is it long right this is my uh fourth shot now

1:06:47 | and obviously I’ve not puted very well today so to finish with a par on this par five this shot Needs To Go close

1:06:54 | even better this shot go in so I’m 9 over par obviously if I get a par stay 9

1:06:59 | over par chip this in I go back to eight come

1:07:07 | on Lovely beautiful touch that was nice that was very

1:07:14 | nice okay I was about to say I’ve got a tap in for a five but after today this is a take my time and think about it

1:07:20 | I’ve used the same ball all the way around you proud of me Rick not it’s not in yet those 40 yard trees away trees 40

1:07:28 | yards away look no well done mate I’ve done the same actually mine’s been the same all the way all right this is for a 9 over which let’s be honest I’m pretty

1:07:34 | happy with not horrendous golf yeah well done yes come on mate

1:07:43 | yeah pretty straight up the hill for Birdie on to on the last it’s been an interesting day like I’ve Struck it

1:07:48 | pretty well just very difficult to make birdies around here with some of the pins being so tucked away

1:07:55 | but this is a decent effort this would be getting me in at

1:08:00 | four overpar which I think that silly double bogy I had on 11 wouldn’t be too

1:08:13 | bad good for Speed as well it was good for Speed half it
