Can we Break 75 at Muirfield playing alternate shot!? [Video]

0:01 | special one today Muirfield

0:07 | now this golf course honestly is ridiculous

0:14 | today we’re playing foursomes and I can’t think of a better partner to do it with than this man dream team

0:23 | that is majestic hopefully we’re still friends at the end of this [Applause]

0:29 | I feel more Chuck as a team game I feel like I’m happy for myself of course record is in danger today mark

0:35 | my words [Laughter] special one today

0:42 | look where we are Muirfield Scotland the home of many open

0:49 | championships the last one here played in 2013 when Phil Mickelson picked up

0:54 | the Claret jog also home of last year’s ladies Open Championship it’s hosted the

1:01 | Curtis cup the Ryder Cup The Walker cup the amateur Championship you name it it

1:07 | has been played here at Muirfield this place is ranked as one of the best golf courses on the planet

1:15 | and we’re going to see if we can try and break 75. we’ve got a little bit of a Twist now this place the honorary

1:23 | company of Edinburgh golfers this is their home and yesterday we’re actually invited into their home for

1:30 | lunch and a tour around the clubhouse this place is heaped in history

1:36 | Traditions but also very much geared towards the future and sharing their story so we

1:44 | actually got to walk around with Robin who was the captain back in 2013 and he gave us a little bit of an insight to

1:50 | the club he also he showed us the oldest trophy in golf he showed us the original

1:56 | 13 rules of golf and much much more it was insightful

2:01 | and here at Muirfield foursomes is the most popular format in

2:07 | fact it’s mainly the format they play every single day foursomes in the morning go in the wonderful Clubhouse

2:13 | for lunch and foursomes in the afternoon so we don’t want to break tradition here on this channel So today we’re playing

2:18 | foursomes and I can’t think of a better partner to do it with than this man yes

2:24 | main guy are going to see if we can break 75 playing forces now if you’re

2:29 | not sure what foursomes are as a team of two you choose who’s going to tee off the odd holes and the even holes and we

2:36 | decide I’m going to go Audrey you’re going to go even yes and then apart from that it’s alternate shots so once it off

2:43 | the first guys hitting the second I’m hitting the third guys hitting the fourth and hopefully we’re not going to need many more than that

2:49 | now this golf course honestly is ridiculous Let’s uh let’s tell you a little bit more when we get to the tea

2:55 | it’s a short walk from the clubhouse you get to this the open links of Muirfield

3:02 | it’s absolutely stunning so much land beautiful scenery again Nick Faldo Sir

3:09 | Nick faldo’s won the open here twice that Nicholas is when they open here Gary player has won the open here the

3:16 | winners are often Legends yes they are indeed now I believe if we beat 75 today

3:22 | playing forces we may also go into that category of legendary status yeah we’ve

3:27 | been playing a lot of scramble recently and I absolutely loved it I love the team element but the big thing with

3:32 | scramble is we’ve got two goals everything yeah this isn’t that this is you have a shot I have a shot if I hit a

3:37 | shank let’s be honest that could well happen I’m gonna feel guilty there’s a rule at Muirfield Golf Club when you

3:43 | play the foursomes you do not say sorry so we’re not saying sorry no if you hit a bad shot you take it on the chin you

3:49 | progress and hopefully recover the teams were playing off today 6600 yards it’s Red Seas going out they’re

3:58 | the teas of the day and yellow T’s coming back home different in it that’s very different I’ve got your present with one ball between us we’re gonna Pro

4:04 | V1 rake 75. let’s see how long this ball is in play for and if we can break same

4:10 | time I am looking forward to this I feel very chilled and relaxed it’s a lovely setting again we got treated wonderfully

4:16 | at lunch yesterday I had a few nice glass of wine a few beers and got shown around and uh made to feel incredibly

4:23 | well correct yeah secretary um I could say Robin the ax Captain wonderful place right I’m excited Par

4:30 | Four to start slight double leg to the right nothing much to it and it’s playing today 420

4:38 | yards and also it’s down Breeze we got told that this is actually not very common

4:43 | for uh wind direction it’s normally into wind on this hole bear weighs are firm

4:49 | and fast greens look magnificent rough daunting yeah scary and daunting as you

4:59 | can see not many trees actually in play here so it’s pretty much straight down like you know what play well my friend

5:05 | hopefully we’re still friends at the end there you go driver straight down yeah I

5:12 | actually fancy a little drawer down here okay

5:18 | keep an eye on it it’s rough but it shouldn’t be too bad near that 150

5:24 | marker ish yeah I didn’t quite draw on the wind it was a good hit we’ve made the hole shorter because we

5:31 | are in the rough [Music] all right so interesting we need we

5:38 | nearly didn’t find the ball on the first day after hitting in the roof I mean that in hindsight I’m quite a bit off

5:44 | the Fairway um just hard sometimes it’s hard when you see rough and Fairway and that’s it

5:50 | there’s no definition sometimes you could put it in the Fairway instead I’ll try that next time perfect so guys got

5:56 | 100 watt 37 137 howling wind behind out this rough it’s not the best of Lies but

6:01 | it could be a bit of a jumpy flyer so I’m gonna go for 50 degree and try and go left of that pop bunker and get it on

6:07 | the green Rick yeah that’ll be the play [Music]

6:12 | carry the bunker and dig your teeth in dig your teeth in oh what a golf shot

6:20 | the problem is that’s just not what I said I was gonna do but it’s gone oh still going

6:27 | it’s all right that’s crazy we’re on the green you’re not quite the plan but you’re on the green yeah is it still it

6:33 | feels like it’s still moving it’s fast that is really fast okay birdie put here on number one

6:41 | up the hill you can really see why guys golf ball

6:47 | then struggle to put its brakes on because it is sloping from back to front of the screen

6:53 | uphill into wind so you’ve got to hit it a bit more than you expect

7:00 | distance control is going to be key hopefully give you a nice tapping guy

7:10 | go on keep going keep going keep going naughty Potter should have hit that

7:17 | harder so desperate to say the s word but I’m just not gonna do

7:22 | it’s a big poorly on this I know get us get us through this guy okay

7:35 | I also know they said the s word okay one over I’m not the best start in

7:41 | the world I’m like a hole that is probably one of the easy ones around here today should be a good day

7:48 | this whole is stunning powerful 365 yards bunkers littered down there

7:56 | seeing the distance what you’re saying Rick left side of the Fairway is King because there’s you know the pins pretty

8:02 | much in the middle there’s a few bunkers down the right but I think throughout these Fairways are so firm get it on The

8:07 | Fairway let it run okay that should be a lesson for us on the first rough no fun

8:13 | [Music] really really good strike it was

8:20 | you’ve done exactly what I’ve asked of you perfect I feel more tough because it’s a

8:28 | team game I feel like I’m happy for us both funny lumbery guy how far 75 yards nice

8:35 | on the nose uh second shot here in into two uh I literally could not have asked you to

8:41 | put it any any better thank you perfect um

8:46 | we’re a little ride out on the golf course yesterday me and guy have not played this course before we’ve got a little ride out with a tour this green

8:53 | is surprisingly slopy it doesn’t look it from here but it is um I’m gonna try and just land it just

8:59 | short and just write the flag

9:05 | come on it’s like a kick rat left doing it oh that’s money that is in the

9:12 | hole please oh touch touch big but that’s

9:18 | okay that is majestic we’ve got a little look from here a little six footer or so

9:23 | for birdie that is majestic I enjoyed that one so if I can hold this port and that is a

9:29 | big if this will be the perfect hole of golf perfect t-shot perfect second shot

9:34 | knock it in for birdie that was nice that one I enjoyed that shot pitched up on see when you get down here I’m glad

9:41 | we had that little ride out yesterday definitely because this green from the Fairway looks flat but when we had a

9:47 | little tour yesterday you can re I mean it’s massively right to left I wouldn’t have tried to pitch that right of the

9:52 | flag I brought my putter but I’m hoping not to need it guy so am I there’s a sneaky one it’s off

9:58 | that left side it’s not my favorite putt but I’m a team golfer now

10:04 | it’s for the team this come on [Music]

10:11 | nice work mate nice work straight

10:16 | very nice right back to level everything is good in the world again

10:22 | that felt nice of that birdie that was needed wasn’t it it was four thought you were wanting a high five then that’s the ball they wanted

10:28 | what are you doing Rick talk us through it well this is the third hole it’s 370 yards there’s a bunk it’s into wind

10:35 | today it’s a bunker down there at 290 which I actually don’t believe I would get to however

10:42 | with the fairways being firm it’s one of those ones where when I look at it I look into win I think there’s no chance

10:47 | I can get there but I think even if you carried one 260 yeah that could that could bounce 30 yards into that bunker

10:54 | so I’m actually going to go two iron we want to be the left side of the Fairway on this to open up the green because the

10:59 | Green’s just slightly hidden over that mound can play like a little low flighty drawy one

11:06 | oh that is majestic that is literally perfect

11:12 | and it’s bounding down the Fairway living the dream we’re living the absolute dream at the moment though I’m

11:18 | a little bit we’ve played a little bit professionally eyeing off the last iron offer yeah I want to go low of course

11:23 | record is in danger today mark my words [Laughter]

11:29 | 151 yards left for guy here you can we can just see the top of the flag it has been hyper critical of that

11:36 | T-shirt If it was just a little bit more left you can’t actually see the whole flag but we’re in a good spot looking

11:41 | from here guy this room left to that flag okay so I think if you went at the flag and

11:47 | hit if it drew a tiny bit it’s not gonna be in danger okay well I said 151 would you say yeah 151 flag no one’s like a

11:54 | nine iron with this wind now it was seven but kind of a smooth one try and keep it a bit lower

12:00 | take some spin off and like Rick’s left side is the side to miss on okay let’s follow in Rick’s perfect shot

12:06 | another one last minute try his best

12:15 | I think we should have put her on that hopefully put her on that it’s hard to know how actually big the

12:20 | green is so it’s uh so we can see loads of room left of the flag I’m not sure what’s right we’ll get

12:27 | down there I think we’ve got Potter on it okay so we were right guys just off the side of the green here it’s no

12:33 | danger at all just coming off the apron off this Fringe a little bit right to left tiny bit

12:40 | I don’t think it’ll pull down until it’s pretty flat yeah I’d like to hold less yeah let’s uh

12:46 | let’s continue the birdie train come on let’s get your speed right Rick

12:56 | hit the fire speed right is he speed right is this

13:04 | don’t say the s word can I say the s word and the s word I’m going to say is silly sausage

13:17 | okay Rick fortunately you’ve got a partner who doesn’t miss putts that’s the good news

13:24 | why have I just did that so hard right anyway come on enough that left side come on

13:31 | oh my word that was in all the way that was in all the way oh I’m annoyed

13:38 | how’s it ended up there

13:45 | I’m annoyed myself it’s okay don’t worry don’t worry about it okay one over through three

13:54 | okay so this is a lovely path three it’s about 171 yards wind into the face again

14:00 | um the big thing with this format though with foursomes is genuinely you can’t get too upset when you hit a bad shot

14:07 | and feel bad for your partner because that’s in your mind all the time it’s too it’s too distracting so positive vibes

14:13 | positive mindset great strike

14:19 | I’ll be the distance

14:24 | yeah very nice Central degree that was a good shot I’m happy with that one didn’t seem to kind of hit it as

14:31 | hard as we expected shot guy yeah it was I mapping that t-shirt the only downside

14:36 | is this is actually a very slopy green it’s about a 40 footer so I’ve got a funny feeling I can’t

14:43 | leave it short it’s how long you’re gonna leave that’s always me downwind downhill I feel like I’ve

14:50 | literally got to get it to like here yeah and gravity will do the work come on is it sloping motion rights left or left

14:57 | or right not massively I can’t see anyway it just

15:02 | looks like it maybe that’s slightly off the right and then feeds back in a bit it’s just speeding it I think yeah get

15:07 | this speak good speed on this

15:19 | that was a good effort I’m not gonna lie that was fast

15:24 | it’s not a good effort that is but that was the good Pace to that I

15:31 | yeah that’s what I mean the result is not good but the port like I don’t feel like I could actually hit it that’s what

15:37 | I mean you’re not a mistake I think I made when I went on the putting green this morning

15:43 | and normally you know try and do some short ones the longer ones it’s still down there chucked a few balls down from

15:48 | about this distance hold two out of three and thought yeah that’s about right I didn’t do much more than that I need

15:55 | to do some more longer putts all right come on guy back up the hill

16:00 | no oh we can’t be so it’s the putting at

16:05 | the moment oh the ball striking’s good I’m leaving you too many long ones

16:11 | ah yeah yeah yeah two over three four

16:16 | okay fifth or par five straight back into a little breeze

16:22 | birdy needed we you know maybe even a pound score exactly three bogeys and a

16:28 | birdie so far not the start we wanted but plenty of time

16:36 | that’s perfect there’s a few little bonkers down there though isn’t it

16:42 | but it’s missed them all that’s right that’s great right in the middle of the Fairway right 30 times now it starts

16:49 | how it begins three iron three iron is

16:54 | you can do it I think a little bit Tiger Woods Stinger yeah a little yeah I’m in

17:00 | between three and three Ward but three would have to be a soft one which I don’t really um so

17:06 | committed three and it is not like that much though no

17:12 | that’s terrible yeah it’s we’ve got a little pitch from

17:17 | there not great at that looks like it might be on the back of a t-box up there it’ll be fine

17:23 | okay so third shot we actually found the bunker here on the right side it’s actually not too bad the only

17:30 | concern we’ve got this kind of top tier where the flag is and then everything over that it’s going to be down and off

17:36 | and Far Away by the way have I not mentioned look at those views

17:42 | are in how incredible is that super bright Sun dredge in hand

17:52 | come on get left it’s been hard yeah it’s a good shot last day

17:57 | yeah very nice thank you very tiny bit further right than expected but yeah I’m very happy with that

18:04 | that’s actually a lot better than expects it to be I wasn’t sure at first all things considering when you look

18:10 | from this side that’s the best possible outcome we could have had anything left

18:15 | of the flag here it could have easily been down there so yeah very easy to look at birdie here

18:22 | I could do a hole in a decent pot not hold anything really slightly downhill yes

18:30 | no never went quick as well done it such a bad pop

18:35 | corn the worst thing that’s new as soon as hit it it was always right the par though

18:44 | making pass getting serious looking for a par right two over through five

18:50 | something needs to change isn’t it holding pots is key greens are fast but no excuses come on

18:57 | we can do this right pal hole six 404 yard Par Four slight dug leg left

19:04 | and there’s this kind of pocket of four bunkers here which in this condition you’ll easily out drive it it’s kind of

19:11 | to see where the wall is yeah just right at the wall yeah well it kind of slopes down a little toilet in the Boogie

19:17 | yesterday this one feeds down doesn’t it so in between that and that big bush yeah definitely okay

19:24 | wait a little bit brighter than what I did yeah if it just digs its teeth in it

19:30 | should be fine should be okay it’s a good hit yeah that’s it okay second shot here into

19:37 | number six slightly in the wispy grass but nothing too dangerous pins down there 171 yards slightly into Breeze and

19:45 | just try and play like a low-flighted seven that land short and kind of scurries up

19:51 | that’s the plan let’s get it in the middle of the green

19:58 | nice big bounce oh come on has it got there yeah stop

20:06 | yeah it’s really good sounded great it’s really good it’s pin High I mean it’s on

20:12 | the on the angle it might be 15 feet away but just left this is my favorite thing about the Boston just chilling the

20:18 | buggy while your partner hits a great shot it’s easy what’s crazy this golf course and lots of lots of links courses

20:24 | around here it’s these runoff areas they’re so brutal I mean if Rick was a yard oh so it’s the left just there

20:30 | it’s going and you’re in a massive pop bunker so it’s on a test to this golf course it’s as precise as we can be with

20:37 | our irons I’ll be honest I actually thought from back where we were I thought we were a lot closer hasn’t you heard me say 15

20:43 | foot away which obviously this ain’t 15 foot so um quite a big one left to right most of

20:49 | the way I think two put par here two foot power would be delightful I don’t want to

20:55 | sound negative because I hate playing golf with a negative mind but I just don’t feel like my putting yet it’s just

21:00 | so to get this within kind of this far to leave Rick a decent tapping is really what I’d love to do it’s my mission not

21:06 | even thinking about hauling this

21:15 | not got the speed have we I want to punch myself in the face

21:21 | we’ve not got the speed ah

21:26 | at this rate we’re having 36 pots each oh my word

21:34 | right my turn to see if I can redeem

21:46 | I went for it I’ll keep your footer out oh my God what are we doing

21:54 | this this is what this is break 95 welcome to rate 95 with Rick Shields one

22:00 | of the one of the genuine issues of foursomes because you do have less shots and certain less putts not that we’re

22:07 | showing that it’s hard to just keep you touching because it feels like you’d obviously playing kind of half a game

22:13 | but if I hit that so hard I had so much confidence that was going to go in as

22:19 | I’ve got double the amount of confidence that this is going to go in oh yeah me too

22:27 | nice let’s pump the bogeys three putts

22:32 | aplenty it’s three over par seventh hole par three coming up next

22:39 | okay mental reset seventh hole path three 187 yards but

22:46 | downwind I’m gonna go with seven iron just a really nice solid golf shot into this green let’s set ourselves up for a

22:53 | nice birdie I’ve not been hit in my eyes well at all

22:58 | sorry

23:08 | okay very disappointed in myself really um I mean I’ve left Guyana

23:14 | a whole world of trouble here it’s fine I’m not bothered

23:20 | right okay let me tell you what’s not in my face sorry let’s say what’s in the favor and what’s not in my favorites what’s not in my favor I’ve got

23:27 | a bunker to get over downhill enter the flag ball is on a down slope

23:35 | it’s quite a daunting shot I was in the favor that was the wind kind of hurting me a little bit so I can hit it a bit harder come on clutching the straws did

23:41 | that really um what do you want to see Rick anywhere on the green my friend okay I really

23:47 | would

23:54 | foreign

24:06 | men at the moment roast me in the comments deserve it we’re Broken Man

24:11 | okay um yeah just if it close just chip it close

24:18 | it’s an easy one really really it is

24:24 | come on

24:30 | thank you for a minute I thought that might have had a little chance of going in

24:36 | everyone at home watching thinking about getting other bogey well yeah we are into the bogey because we like making bogeys

24:43 | it could have been a lot worse

24:49 | okay so four over it’s fine three seven plenty of chances left there’s time

24:55 | we’ve got it to break 75 today can be no more than three over

25:00 | at the end of the round and there’s 12 holes left to play and there’s plenty eleven holes left to

25:06 | play and times on our side and you know we’re gonna get into this Mojo if we can get the putters working yes and my irons

25:14 | if you think if we can both gain 20 yards off the tea become better ball Strikers improve our short game and a whole loads of ports potentially

25:21 | flying uh Rory and John Ram then we might have a chance are you having fun loads too much exactly that’s all it

25:29 | matters okay hole eight good news bricks on a protein bar so he’s now shredded gonna

25:35 | hit the ball miles and you looked better looking just a new guy look at him look how fresh he is I’m still eating it yeah

25:42 | gone the Days forget sausage rolls that’s gone now protein bars um bunkers on this powerful down the

25:49 | right so my t-shirt’s gonna go left side of the Fairway

25:55 | yeah great ball thank you

26:02 | And So It Begins okay guys at a great tee shot down in the middle of the Fairway I’m 136 yards

26:09 | left in um blind bottom to the flag I can’t actually see what’s down there

26:14 | one three six and a little wedge or soft nine I was kind of got my hand on Gat

26:20 | wedge okay what’s that window wedge that winded into a bit so I’d like to see a wedge

26:27 | I don’t look quite well that pin is but I don’t just go straight at it with a wedge it’s been quite strong though you

26:33 | think it’s interesting it’s quite it’s up to you I don’t look at your hair if you think it’s a wedge wed Swatch but I also that little soft nine you hit on the

26:40 | Range before we played just don’t feel like it well we’ll go wedge then so I feel like if I get it going if I hit it

26:46 | lower it could skip up okay I’m gonna go left side of the flag and just let the wind bring it back a touch

26:52 | come on we need we categorically a power five coming up next that’s downwind and you’re teeing off so if we can get

27:00 | birdie birdie birdie birdie we’re back on track two over front nine I think would be

27:05 | respected I think it would oh we’ve got covered in dust

27:14 | oh it looks quite a bit short but I’m hoping it’s bounce forward we’ve got no Intel off the cameraman yet

27:22 | you guys at home will be able to see it we don’t know I feel like I don’t know that wind’s gonna pull a little bit as

27:28 | well it’s quite Breezy absolutely all over it so this is one of the things I love about Lynx courses Rick you’ve got a lot

27:34 | of choice this could be putted it could be 58 degree wedged or it could be seven iron what would you do well I would one

27:41 | million percent put it from there um but I know you have much more skill with the Loft I mean just going back to

27:49 | where that Ball’s finished I actually thought I know we might have questioned it might come up a bit short

27:55 | I thought it was gonna be all over it but we’re just on the front apron a little chip up come on chip it in guy

28:02 | we need some magic to happen magic happen Magic

28:08 | go that is a beautiful chip of the golf ball thank you once it it was it’s a

28:15 | beautiful chip right tap in par Let’s uh

28:20 | let’s walk before we can run oh boys they’re back in town The Boys Are Back In Town

28:26 | up next it’s been a test so far ninth hole par five downwind very very

28:32 | straight hole and looking at the course planner there’s a naughty little bunker here that’s just hidden from this big

28:38 | boy if I absolutely rip one down the middle it could get caught out by that so I’m gonna try and stay right hand

28:43 | side of that um we just need to get one in play guy then is striking his own’s great so

28:49 | we’re gonna be middle of the green I’ll try and get it closer than six foot in my first port and then I’ll lock it and

28:55 | then you knock it in for a burger look down the right hand side a little draw down the right hand side

29:00 | foreign

29:09 | yeah I can work with that I don’t think I caught it well enough luckily on that line so it’s uh yeah it should just be

29:16 | in the first cut of rough okay second shot into this part five made us think here we’re just in the

29:22 | first cutter roof but it’s actually sat quite nice I like it it’s 202 yards to the flag right however

29:31 | downwind yes it’s firm yes and a potential flyer yes now I’ve just been

29:36 | looking here at the course plans a little bunker here that got actually added later down the line we got told by Robin yesterday the ex-captain by

29:43 | Simpson I can’t quite remember the company name but Homer foreign

29:53 | that bunker and that’s about 40 yard short the green you just gotta carry that so I’m going with I’ll throw that

29:59 | said and done 200 yards hey I am leaving on now this is Lynx golf welcome to the Scotland

30:08 | left side just a nice solid hit okay

30:14 | that’s phenomenal that’s phenomenal don’t go too big

30:22 | God you could have it pitching most there couldn’t you have it in a Titan about 230 yards you literally could have

30:27 | it sandwich that’s insane

30:34 | right guys 270 yard eight iron has got us to here not bad actually

30:41 | just over the back of the green just in the first little bit of semi back into Breeze but I’m going to play a little bit of a linksy shot we’re gonna land it

30:48 | in here allow it to take the Contours and pop in for a nice little Eagle here saying all the right things got 99 in

30:54 | hand come on ah

31:04 | it wasn’t committed that’s all it was I just felt like it might come out a bit fast

31:09 | damn not quite caught it nice enough there big put this so finish the nine

31:14 | with a birdie oh my son of a gun god are we getting

31:23 | that was a good Port I know it was

31:30 | I feel disappointed with the power very much so with that wind helping us as well damn right four over through nine

31:38 | work to do we’ve got to shoot one on the par back nine to break 75.

31:46 | okay hold ten lovely looking Par Four scattered bunkers on the right hand side

31:52 | the key here is to hit the left side of the Fairway we’ve caught the group in front it’s gone a little bit slow bricks

31:58 | on hitting some extra puts because he’s putting his I’m not on fire neither was mine to be fair so big tea shop needed

32:04 | big back nine needed thank you oh it’s thin but it could be very good

32:14 | that was a professional Lynx golf shot it was thin and it’s using the Fairway

32:20 | for its Advantage perfect good shot pal thank you mate okay still quite a bit left into this

32:26 | 595 yards looks like a very back pin position right like a squeezy five

32:34 | yeah Four’s a bit too much okay if I can fly down a squeezy draw

32:39 | every five should all feed in get it working with the Wind

32:47 | get there if that gets there that’s good

32:53 | yeah just because it’s it’s pin high but just because it’s drew it just it’s always

32:59 | kind of moving a little bit away from the flag but you can jump really high thanks that’s the thing you’ve ever said

33:05 | to me okay great shot from Rick they’re really in hindsight it was um I wasn’t a little

33:11 | bit left of the flag but pin high so it’s giving us a 40 foot pop for birdie but in reality

33:17 | that’s a a power chance the way it’s important um my objective is to put it close so

33:26 | Rick can knock it in quite a bit left to right yeah that’s what I’m seeing

33:36 | sure yeah that’s cool yeah not bad on today’s standards that’s a 10 out of 10.

33:42 | made contact with the butter face you know what we are we’re two tidy

33:47 | golfers just two tidy golfers plotting along so I was made three Pars in a row so that’s something

33:53 | okay come on third is required though 11th hole Par Four and it’s actually a

33:59 | blind T-shirt If you kind of pan around this way you can see kind of a hill going up

34:05 | as a marker post just on top of the hill lovely Gentleman on top of the hill just saying it’s safe to hit a full caddy so

34:12 | that’s what I shall do there’s a couple of bunks up the right hand side then one at the left so only playing 354 yards this whole but

34:19 | yeah quite a bit into Breeze in it fancy little stingy throughout two iron okay

34:26 | oh that is my partner that is my partner that’s a slingy draw on the market

34:32 | that’s gonna bound and run and chase hopefully it’s gonna be a little flick

34:38 | in and then a birdie so Rick’s t-shirt was pretty smart and it’s just cut into this first cup quite a hard for us to

34:44 | keep it on this one those little bumps and stuff that just come off slightly 105 into the pin amazing backdrop with

34:51 | the ocean that looks so good take your teeth

34:59 | oh no so did you think did you thin it a

35:05 | little bit thin in fly I thought it was massive that’s why I was kind of telling it to dig its

35:10 | feet in but actually it’s that’s I know it’s not your finest but it’s not bad it’s not um

35:16 | now after my little practice perfectly legal in a break 75 we had set

35:21 | our own rules here um after nine I’m hoping my speed control is going to be a little bit

35:27 | better up the hill right to left this has definitely got Vibes of being able to drop in with that backdrop

35:35 | feel like it’s a given to be honest come on

35:44 | it’s right in the Jaws not bad not bad God

35:50 | I feel like Putters not enough club for me at the moment all right guy sorry not as close oh don’t say sorry not close I

35:56 | wanted it to be for you but tap it in for par

36:01 | yeah well done mate well done making you sweat a little bit I’m sorry I don’t worry about it okay this is a nice hole

36:07 | hole number 12 380 win behind this is a real chance to get close to Green

36:13 | controversially I’m going for three or rather than drive it I don’t know why I’m just seeing it as a three wood and

36:18 | if it gets high up in the air with this wind it could get close yeah I agree and stick it on yeah okay

36:25 | foreign carry everything

36:36 | it’s not in the bunker not ideal it’s a little bit in the rough okay so just in this wispy grass 104

36:43 | yards left to the flag but downhill downwind it’s kind of neat to land it short don’t you go in there 100

36:49 | let it feed in I might stick with the same 55 degree though

36:55 | and just like try and bump it down there I like it

37:00 | this could be God come on don’t go too big don’t go too big don’t go too big

37:05 | that could go in the hole stay look how much it’s going still

37:12 | that is insane I honestly thought they had a really nice shot there yeah you did hit a good

37:17 | shot it’s just it’s just ran but I don’t I question how I could even have got it close I don’t know unless you land it on

37:24 | with loads of height but even then it’s going to bound I honestly thought that was bang on them

37:32 | ah that was frustrating I really did think I played a good one there but quite a long put

37:38 | somewhat frustratingly as well this green is is sloping from back to front so even there you’d have thought that

37:44 | would have slowed the ball down but big put coming up by guy right to left down the hill

37:53 | slow oh so hard okay nice put straight up the hill

38:04 | yes that’s what we needed caught the edge that is just what we needed

38:11 | this pumping path okay 13th old beautiful looking hole par three slightly elevated green three

38:18 | bunkers down the right I think only one left or is there a couple left either way it’s into wind and what’s

38:24 | interesting when you’re down here it probably feels less windy because as soon as you start to get above that mound it’s going to start to

38:30 | kick in yeah three bunks on the right two on the left 160 yards but I think with that wind I’m

38:37 | gonna go six iron and just try and flight it low little low draw reflight come on I feel like par threes have not

38:44 | been my friend recently oh that is perfect

38:51 | come on be enough great golf shot great golf shot thank

38:57 | you I could see that to be honest that was phenomenal nice little low Drop yeah love it

39:02 | we’re back love it dirty time

39:10 | got there wow it’s turned a lot of the end really got there

39:20 | we’re doing it live we’re still at the moment is that a run of five or six cars

39:26 | on a row what we do which isn’t bad for foursome to be honest no we just need

39:31 | there’s only one more par five coming up but we just could do with one bird is just attacked get us under that four

39:37 | over we’ll get to three over and we’re breaking 75. okay hole number 14 it’s a

39:43 | par four thankfully wind is helping us couple bunkers on the left sort of try

39:48 | and avoid those at all costs a little fade off them will be good leave Rick a bit of a flick in

39:54 | and keep this power run going or even get a birdie oh that’s fantastic

40:01 | that’s perfect isn’t it yeah

40:09 | yeah fantastic golf shot thank you after a really nice t-shirt from guy just left here on the right side of the hole just

40:15 | in the rough 136 yards left of the flag downwind and what we’ve experience with downwind and firm Fairways it’s hard to

40:23 | hold the shot onto the green so I do also feel like you’ve got to land it on the green to have a chance of

40:29 | actually getting it to stop so I’m gonna go with that tactic

40:42 | there’s only one bunker there and it’s missed that one but I don’t think it held the green

40:48 | in hindsight I don’t think that was the shot Supply okay not the best shot from Rick but it’s fine

40:54 | um and I put in as you know hasn’t been great today so this is a real challenge to get this one close but I shall do my

41:01 | very best oh

41:10 | I just I just ah laughs

41:16 | I don’t know I don’t know what it is ah I just don’t know how hard to hit my

41:23 | ports that I to be honest halfway I thought was good yeah I did and then

41:29 | okay see if we can salvage a pass still

41:34 | right to left not a lot of slow up or down a little bit of wind off the right which

41:40 | is going to encourage it to move left as well come on nice spot

41:50 | ah

41:56 | let’s hope that’s not not the wind out of our sails no it’s not five over now

42:02 | we need to get two more birdies coming home 15th hole par for downwind apparently

42:07 | back in 1959 when Jack Nicholas played in the Ryder Cup at just age 19 and two

42:12 | practice rounds he actually drove the green on this hole which is ridiculous because it’s nearly 400 yards

42:18 | now today with it being downwind and firm you’ve got to get lucky because there’s plenty of bunkers down there got get

42:25 | honest with you right now I don’t feel super confident over this tea I’m just saying it so I need to get

42:31 | those thoughts out my brain hit just a little tight drawer straight over the corner leave guy a little flick in and

42:37 | let’s make birdie we need to make two birdies now

42:44 | come on

42:50 | that misses the bunker seems to take quite a soft bounce yeah

42:55 | it did I know it was a great hit I just don’t know if it landed in the rough ride in the Fairway we should be right there but

43:01 | as long as it’s avoided all the trouble oh [Music]

43:10 | it’s not there is it in this one

43:16 | you see it looking at this as well so it’s gone in this bunker am I right insane it looks

43:22 | like it’s coming from this angle yeah it does I feel like it’s almost come here and then dropped in if it would have

43:28 | just skirted past that could have repeated the feat that Jack Nicholas did in 1959 but nevertheless right

43:37 | plenty of room sat nicely in the bunker thankfully forget Jack Nicholas this is

43:42 | going to be the whole guy Channel called a bunch of [ __ ] on Love It

43:48 | an eagle right now would be very very very handy there’s a lot of sand in here as well you know wow

43:55 | oh no that was harsh

44:01 | that was really harsh you’re shocked top of the hill I’m going to run it up

44:07 | there with a little Chasey pitching wedge

44:12 | oh yipped it missile

44:25 | welcome I’m dumb and this is dumber

44:33 | yep very good two good golfers playing on the course

44:38 | well that was absolutely horrendous for a very promising t-shirt

44:45 | guy obviously got unlucky in the bunk car just by the terrible chip

44:50 | ah I’m gonna get up and down for bogey now okay so the only good thing about this

44:55 | hole is that we’re both playing bad so it’s not just on me it’s not just on Rick it’s the power of us

45:02 | um I’ve now got quite a long shot back to the flag because this is gonna be a bit of a disaster hole unfortunately

45:18 | oh boys we might have made a bit of a hash of it well

45:24 | the dream might be dead uphill right to left

45:30 | this needs to drop in just to give us any glimpse it would mean we’d need three birdies

45:36 | coming in strange things have happened stranger things have happened right come on optimistic

45:48 | ah really really annoying double bogey

45:57 | hurts that hurts a lot after what

46:02 | I mean it’s just a perfectly placed bunker let’s be honest yeah saying it’s a combination of our both of

46:08 | our faults good t-shirt I ended with a bunker my horrendous shot out the bunker you’re not great shot through the ground

46:14 | my not great shot there might not grow poor very easy to make a double I’ll

46:20 | blame you you blame me deal yeah it’s your fault right okay hole number 16 the last hole

46:28 | was at his grace I’m ashamed for myself I’m ashamed for Rick and I’m shame for you guys so you can only apologize for

46:33 | that um it was 188 this one par three wind into the fate and the winds get up it’s

46:40 | getting cold as well do it ready

46:47 | no all right

46:54 | no that’s terrible at least we tried

47:00 | it’s been a tough we’ve really like lost it like yeah double bogey I think the

47:06 | bogey on the 14th and double bogey Dan has just really gone I think we’re a scramble team not a foursome’s team no

47:14 | so obviously this is a team game and being the great friend that I am I’ve left Rick he’s perfect shot it’s a chip

47:22 | shot a bit of a burly over a massive bunker with no green to

47:28 | work with Rick loves these kind of shots doesn’t he so it’ll be well chuffed Rick what are you doing

47:35 | come here [Laughter]

47:43 | I’m just watching my chipping video with Dan Green you can eat all the help you can get my friend have we got an hour

47:49 | three minutes so I can just watch it all again okay this is a high tariff

47:58 | yeah there’s not there’s not a lot going for me and we’re on the green I will be very impressed okay

48:05 | me really too

48:20 | it’s not ended up close but strike wise there was a lot of good in that one likewise that was actually impressive

48:27 | you know what I really forgot about because I was so anxious and nervous and awesome comprehending the uh

48:34 | the technique a totally forgot about the wind yeah and

48:39 | I think I actually think if I’d have hit that shot with the wind knowing the wind I think that could have been really good

48:44 | oh it’s in there Okay so we’ve got a 30 40 foot or whatever it is for par

48:50 | um the way this has been going we’re gone for a three pull um but realistically

48:56 | today this is break 75 however the score right now I think breaking 80 is now the mission

49:03 | let’s be honest if we can break 80 today that’s not going to be too bad it’s first time playing the golf course foursomes is not a particularly easy

49:11 | format to play is it it’s very challenging because you know you just you feel responsible you know you feel

49:17 | like there’s pressure because you don’t want to I don’t put you in a bad position you don’t put me in a bad position so it’s you don’t put golf is

49:24 | an individual Sport and I feel like we’ve learned to play it like that I’ve enjoyed this format don’t get me wrong but you need to play a lot of times to

49:30 | get good at it right come on then just box it straight up the hill par five coming up

49:36 | next promising yeah the best part of the day it’s the

49:43 | best pool of the day look at that tidy bogey for the boys last three holes we’ve gone bogey double

49:50 | bogey ah annoying 17th hole par five two obviously two to go uh

49:59 | Dustin you watch this channel for good well for goals and maths corrected

50:04 | yourself yeah uh yeah you got you got less in everything here 506 yards

50:12 | which is a huge dog leg left have a quick look at my map it is indeed Rick so right of these bunkers though because

50:20 | so just play as you see it straight down leave me three wood in

50:29 | a couple of times it’s bounced that might be all right that should be

50:35 | right yeah nice thanks so we found it flirted

50:41 | with this gauze brush but it’s managed to keep its head above ground yeah

50:47 | um the actual first real kind of bush has a tree Hazard would see

50:53 | and trust me it’s closer that could possibly hit it did somebody order a ball Striker

50:58 | from wish [ __ ] you right come on right three in

51:04 | it’s 240 yards left to the hole into this Breeze I don’t think the best player in the

51:10 | world will get there maybe they would but

51:18 | I get it

51:24 | all mad just trapped around the bunker that was struck like an absolute dream I

51:30 | think you could have got there were three would you know probably could because I’m the best player in the world

51:35 | okay third shot into this par five about 40 yards away into Breeze

51:42 | the the LIE is not bad of the golf ball but it’s quite a bit above my feet

51:48 | be aggressive back into the breeze we’ve got to make one more birdie so far I’ve had a good tee shot good second shot

51:54 | let’s hit a good third shot I’ll hit a good fourth shot good deal

51:59 | oh that was clipped get down oh it was always a little bit fiery but

52:06 | just came out a bit hot yeah a little bit clipped annoying okay

52:13 | this would be delightful

52:20 | hi nothing

52:26 | has dropped for us now it’s not okay so we’re on hole 18 in a random turn of

52:31 | events Rick is now holding the camera hi Rick hi are you okay yeah hopefully I got this in shop yeah okay

52:38 | um good day on it fun yeah yeah really good really good

52:43 | Great Golf um I will hit driver hopefully on the middle Rick will then

52:49 | put the camera down hit the next shot close I’ll hold it but perfect

52:56 | oh baby missed that rough

53:04 | oh it’s just trickle into that longer stuff but it should be all right that how did that feel yeah really good look I don’t want to come on up to you

53:10 | okay behind there is everything going all right there’s no reason why Rick is on the camera just that you’re fancy to play You’re not always quite heavy yeah

53:22 | okay put the camera down I’ve got this shot into

53:28 | 18. just coming in for a second this

53:33 | believe it or not I know we’ve not played great today this is the exact same golf ball we started

53:39 | at the start of the round it’s done very well to get around this Golf Course without being lost because

53:46 | there’s lots and lots of thick rough just saying it was use the same ball all the way we have

53:52 | if you want to win this golf ball like the video comment down below should we give it away it’ll give this golf ball

53:57 | away all right if you if you want to win this golf ball the one that hopefully at this point I won’t lose

54:03 | uh be sure to like the video subscribe leave a comment um and we’ll pick a random winner you

54:09 | can win this particular break 75. okay here we go last hole

54:15 | like I said just in this little bit of rough 120 yards left to the flag I feel like it could come out hot out of

54:22 | this lie sometimes it’s quite hard to control let me just check what’s down there

54:30 | yeah there’s a bunker left on the bunker right I’m going to go for the front door of the clubhouse

54:36 | and just let it not actually that far but and just let the Wind Drift it back a little low Chasey drawery one

54:45 | oh cotton oh it’s cutting in go on go on go on

54:54 | it’s all right that’s really good I’m really I feel it

55:02 | it’s all right yeah I’ve played that quite nice but we’ll try our best

55:08 | if you have anything to say just yeah so I want to apologize to Rick that was actually a much better shot than I gave

55:14 | him credit for as we got here it’s got kind of closer and closer we’ve now got probably a 25 30 foot off a bird

55:20 | I’m not I’ve give you a decent right look at this as well there’s two things here though

55:25 | I want to try and hold this pot there’s also a bit of a crowd watching on the 18 the last thing I want to do is leave Rick a little shakingly six footer for

55:32 | path so let’s get it close yeah I’d like you to either box this or leave me a little time

55:40 | we’ve got any break on it not a lot come on let’s do it

55:48 | go in go in oh it’s bang the line wasn’t it Jaws again

55:54 | it’s just the pace I left you tapping anyway what’s happening
