Poor Man’s Pebble Beach | Golfing in California

December 15, 2019

what is up y’all hope y’all having a
great day I’m out here at Pacific Grove California just outside of Pebble Beach
I’ve been doing some social media work and some content creation for a
tournament at Pebble Beach the last week so so sorry for no uploads but wanting
to come out here and vlog this super cool public course only cost me 31 bucks
to come play this thing right on the beach the oceans right behind I’m going
to take you along here for the back nine number ten par three I’m gonna be
playing this from 105 yards pretty accessible pin right there I’ve got a
sand wedge here not bad for the first swing today had a
little too much sauce on that one right there spun back about 15 feet maybe
braking towards the ocean are here on 10 easy part of their own 10
number 11 is the par 4 kind of a short one however I have nowhere to really set
up the camera behind so I’m gonna move up about 15 yards right there 285
drivable par 4 you can maybe see that red flag off in the distance a little
bend to the left get highlighted fly a little smooth tempo driver right there
should be pretty good got a nice little fence right here I guess that is to
guard from a little snip snappy drives I just let a group play through and they
told me that this course is known as the poor man’s Pebble Beach ocean views
super excited about checking these views out once we get over this little sand
dune action there behind the green I think we’re gonna be seeing the ocean
really pretty good distance control right there
how’s middle of the green distance wise see if we can’t get this up now for our
first bird of the day I thought it was going in we’ll take it p-ting slammer here ah no what cool
pathway through the dunes here and that’s our first view of the ocean
those are pretty intense they are way bigger in person than they look like
even on this camera number 12 par 5 513 yards dogleg right I think the green
sets off kind of back in there our aiming point is going to be kind of
right over that ball washer don’t worry about me golf or coming
through what’s up there how are you doing I had to walk through the crowd
right there thankfully they kind of dispersed and
let me through hit that drive relatively where I wanted it so we’ll see it is
getting a little foggy out here a little tough to see the ball down but I think
it was on a good line and a good number first time around this track we’re just
out here to have a good time and look at the ocean in great shape right here the
pin is located just over that sand dune right there 190 yards left landed right there spun back probably
need to take into account that we’re a c-level and the airs heavy balls not
going to fly as far so probably need to be taking half a club to even maybe a
full Club more that I’m used to in Nashville would love to make back-to-back pin
Slammers see if we can roll it in let’s go that is royally to see 233 back
to back 10 Slammers on 213 par 4 how about that view off the back of this tee
box beautiful unfortunately it is a little foggy so you can’t quite see very
far out into the ocean but it’s there all right we are gonna have some fun
here 315 yards to somewhere out in there it’s a little dogleg to the left I think
this is the middle of the fairway I think the pin and green is somewhere
over in there I’m gonna hit a stinger here not sure but I think that was right down
the middle cuz I can only see him about 70 yards out in front of me
so washed down into the fog hopefully that was no fair way we will take it
found the ball now all the fairway 65 yards left thankfully this fog is
starting to go away left that one just a little bit short
roughly 20 feet left for birdie these greens tend to be a little sticky on
those short wedge shots I was hitting some shots on some other
courses this PO and I gets a little sticky on those shots so doesn’t quite
release as much you might think Oh I thought we had to trifecta right there
I mean 31 bucks you cannot beat it usually the ocean right down the
coastline from Pebble number 14 356 yards green kind of sits off back in
their small dogleg to the right stinger time I know what you’re thinking I really
wasn’t a singer I definitely had a bit higher than normal
however it’s right down the middle Wells I get good shape right here 125 yards
left the pin is kind of just over that corner right there I’ve got a full gap
wedge should be pretty good we’ll go find out
got a lot out of that gap wedge right there hit that a little long yes and
Alfred back there said don’t hit so much Club next time hmm Alfred that is now all we’re looking
for here on 14 that is a three-putt bogey Alfred may need to come read the
next one for me that moves us to 1-under through our fifth hole here on the back
nine through 14 on to 15 par-4 397 yards kind of bends back to the right a little
bit our aiming point is going to be just to
the right of that building there I let it fly I’m walking up here fairway is over here
here’s where we ended up right there should its take it a little further
right maybe aimed at that house instead of
that building right there but we’re okay not a great lie yeah really not a great
lie at all but that’s okay 95 yards left on those shots that you don’t have great
lies kind of want to get down and get after it you want to focus on contact so
I get a little steeper because I actually want to hit ball first whenever
I have a bad lie like that so that’s what we did there took a little extra
Club didn’t want to have to kill it just hitting down on it catch ball first all
right it did land on the green right there came back just a little bit
roughly 35 feet back up the hill one under par three holes left have
something cool to show you here this is a lighthouse and apparently it is the
oldest still functioning lighthouse on the west coast I thought that was pretty
cool don’t know how old but that’s lighthouse number 16 par 4
355 yards I think our target line is going to be
that clump of trees there’s some water somewhere over in there that I can see
on the scorecard so I just want to keep it left without water a little left another best swing right
there however we missed it in the right
direction don’t want to miss it right I thought I saw water on the scorecard
looks like it’s just out of bounce so definitely miss right direction it was
wide open over there that’s just the last fall 15 might be just into the
rough alrighty need to find the fairway a bit more often than we have today
however 100 yards left to a middle back pin those are waves back there sand
wedge all right really not too bad just ended
up trickling just off the back edge roughly 35 feet left par here on 16 walking to the next tee
and that is the view how about that number 17 here par 3 100 yards I know it
says on the card 150 so I’m assuming there used to be a box somewhere back in
there however there is no box anymore alright there’s for a landed spun back
about a foot we do have a huge gallery here on the 17th hoping to see a pin
slammer Hey
I early fist bump that I early fist pumped that I thought that was in all right that is a player here on 17
walking off the back side of the green I just wanted to show you all these trees
these trees are awesome we are on the last hole what a view behind me this is
the 18th par-4 295 yards it’s going to be driver to get high let it fly I was pulled just a little bit but it
well I was trying to play a big sweeping cut in there and hit it pretty straight
I did cut a few yards at the end thankfully we stayed inside that fence
line that you could see it’s right here next to the cart path we need to get
this up now for birdie all right there it is roughly 25 yards
left finished at 1-under par here at Pacific
Grove this place was awesome public course with those kind of views are you
serious pretty awesome hope you’ll enjoy coming along if you did drop a little
like down below and y’all until next time we’ll see you only see ya

Tips To Lower Your Scores | My Golf Background

December 3, 2019

wintery wet rainy conditions what is up
you all hope y’all having a great day and hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving
I did very thankful for the time I got spend with the family we’re out here at
Nashville golf today we’re gonna be playing the front nine and answering
some questions that y’all been posting in the comments want to cover why I do
certain things in my pre shot routine what my handicap is certain decisions
made on the golf course so we’re gonna try to cover several of those throughout
this nine holes we’re gonna be playing the front nine at Nashville golf from
the blue tees which is roughly seventy one hundred yards for the full 18
number-one par-4 410 yards for iron I haven’t kept a handicap in many years
the last time I did was quite a few years back the reason for that is I was
playing in professional events where you don’t need a handicap it was a plus six
the last time that I kept record now currently I would probably say I’m more
like a plus four plus five not quite playing to the same level I
was playing when I was full-time competition did shape right here 155 to
a back middle pen I’m gonna hit a little three quarter nine here and it’s starting to rain as you can
tell hit that one well should have a good
look at birdie when you get in these wintery wet rainy conditions I always
typically take more Club swing easier try to focus on making good clean
contact that’s what we did there a little long but about 20 feet left for
birdie this shot into the green here on one is
one of the most difficult approach Hut’s in golf
very tight landing area there’s ferret landed its where it ended up a little more break in that putt and I
thought tap this in for par alrighty as before here on line number 2 par 4
straightaway 405 yards you can see the pin off there in the distance to get
highlight of fly I’ve got 120 yards left to a back middle
pin I’m gonna try to flight this low I’ve got pitching wedge wanna focus on
good contact alright didn’t really flight that load
kind of got up here a bit little short right found the rough here on the second
shot on number two chipping back up the hill see if we can’t get this up and
down oh I thought we had our first pin
slammer right there Oh tap this in that’s a part here on to even par
through 2 let’s talk a bit about that chip real quick I normally don’t chip
with a 60-degree unless I have to shift right there with a sand wedge we want to
get that ball rolling like a putt as soon as possible so we did right there
also chip with a gap wedge pitching wedge and even up to a 9-iron just
depending on how much green I have to work with
number three par-5 614 yards is a castle right there off in the distance that’s
going to be our aiming point so I grew up playing baseball didn’t
really get into golf until later on into high school played some in high school
then went to Tennessee the University of Tennessee graduated from there didn’t
play golf at all pause in college picked up the game again after I graduated and
that’s really when I started taking the game seriously just missing the fairway
here right side long ways home going to be laying up kind of aiming middle right
side of the fairway little further right now with a light
foot should be all right 150 yards left 8-iron in hand back into the wind so
gonna hit this probably about 3/4 I was playing a long ways not as short
really felt like I hit down pretty good right there
I was just playing a long ways gonna need to account for that wind a bit more
it is breezy chilly raining so balls not flying a long ways today there’s where
we ended up right there straight up the hill are three even par through three
holes par par par on to number four par four four hundred and twenty five yards
our aiming point is going to be that little cart path there off in the
distance green kind of sits off back in there a little dogleg right decent Drive right there 140 yards left
to a back ripe and location walking on behind the green to give you a little
bit of vantage point for the approach shot there 1 2 also talked a little bit
about how I got started after college after I graduated wanted to give it kind
of a year to see how good I could get with the game of golf it was probably
about a 10 or 12 handicap at the beginning of that year I just pretty
much all day every day waited tables at night ended up getting to a plus 6 by
the end of that year I was focused mostly on short game and that’s where I
saw the biggest improvement at the end of that year really started thinking
about competition kind of the possibilities there this putts gonna
have a lot of break from left to right need to get the speed right tap this in for par here on for number
five par four goes back up the hill to the left dogleg laughs green sets back
in there 380 yards I didn’t come here to layup should be alright right there sure game
was definitely where I saw the most improvement during that year I would
spend four hours inside of 40 yards for every hour that I would spend on the
range working on the full swing and up those four hours I would spend roughly
two hours putting and over half of that time putting inside of sixty did shape
right here 40 yards left probably a little more aggressive there but you
don’t want to be long here still gives us an uphill looking bird let’s go tweeter hero 5 1-under through
5 on to number 6 par 3 down the hill 153 yards probably plays
roughly 12 13 yards down the hill pitching wedge in hand I didn’t misjudge the wind there just a
bit gonna have a lengthy one for birdie it’s on the front edge kind of front
right corner see if we can’t roll the rock all right here on six number seven
par-5 591 yards Green sits kind of off back in there are aiming point off the
tees kind of that corner right there should be good right there
as I continue to improve that year after college started thinking about playing
in competition started signing up for some events and those results varied
immensely I’d go out and have a good 9 I had rounds of 30 144 or I would go shoot
67 82 or and I would just have some big numbers there was no consistency there
but there were signs of playing really good golf through the years of playing
on the mini tours I ended up winning a few times and saw a little bit of
success from time to time however never really broke through to what was then
the web.com now the corn ferry tour or the PGA Tour never quite got to that
level played with a lot of guys who are on tour now the game continued to
improve however wasn’t really able to stay out there full-time financially
that’s kind of when I got into the social media really enjoyed posting
videos and sharing the game of golf through social media content really
thankful to be able to do this now and hope y’all are enjoying following along
the dream is to get back out there competition one day to try to get on
tour good shape right here 80 yards left got
a sandwich here you might be wondering why I chose
sandwich there I could have probably gotten a lob wedge all the way there it
was a little into the wind but I wanted to take off the spin and wanted to fight
it lower control that distance a bit better hitting a lob wedge way up in the
air not controlling the spin even if it gets there it’s probably spinning back a
lot so next time you’re in one of those situations maybe take an extra Club
swing smooth flight it down control that spend you need to give that one a bit more
pace and as a par here on seven one under
through seven couple holes left I wanted to talk about my pre shot routine and
kind of why I do that pullback right before I hit the ball that helps me stay
in rhythm and it is part of my pre shot routine I don’t like to get stagnant
over the ball so I don’t like to stay still
over the ball right before I hit it I want to keep moving helps me stay in
better rhythm helps my tempo of the full swing that is a reason for that
I would highly recommend you know testing it out let me know your thoughts
on that I want to stay off let Akande react to the shot don’t want to get
stagnant over the ball number eight par-3 190 yards straight up the hill now all looks pretty good right there
we’ll see where it ended up if you don’t currently have a pre-shot routine I
would highly recommend working on one write it down on a piece of paper get
very specific and do the same thing every single time that way when you get
into you know nerves and tough situations you can rely and lean on that
pre shot routine for a little comfort there are here on eight
number nine par four three hundred and ninety yards straight down the hill hope
you’ve enjoyed this video today this course vlog of you know giving some tips
telling a little bit about my story answering some questions that have kind
of consistently been popping up if you did let me know down in the comments and
also any other questions you have drop them down below as well good shape right
there 140 yards left down the hill that is how we won to end today good tee
shot good approach see if we can trolled us and you’re probably also wondering
why I hit a sand wedge there and why it got all the way there when you’re on a
severe downslope like that your d lofting the club so that actually turned
into like a gap wedge maybe even a weak pitching wedge there so that’s why I got
that distance out of it also when you’re on a downhill or uphill
lie tilt your shoulders with the lay of the land that way you’re not fighting
against the slope it just makes for a lot cleaner contact and better results
all right there’s where it landed right there
there’s where it ended up roughly 20 feet left for birdie par here on the
last it is getting dark very quick the rain is coming in finished at 1-under so
pumped that we were able to get this round in hope you’ll enjoy coming along
drop a like down below if you did and until next time we’ll see who we see
yeah let’s go

Hidden Gem Golf Course | The Course At Sewanee

December 2, 2019

that is how we like to start hope y’all
have it a wonderful day have a special nine-hole round in store for today’s
vlog we’re gonna be vlogging all nine holes out here at the course at swanee
here in Tennessee just in between Nashville and Chattanooga an awesome
little layout here been looking forward to coming out here and playing this
course so we’re gonna play all nine yes there’s only nine holes here at swanee
but it’s kind of cool you can play different teas like if you want to play
it twice to change up the par on different holes it’s a super cool layout
very excited about teeing it up so we’re just gonna head straight to the first
tee let’s go like I said you do have options on each hole for what tees you
want to play from the first hole here we are gonna play as a par-5 there’s the
fairway heading straight back towards the in 550 yards roughly from this tee
box we’ll take that tee shot to start every
day all day here’s where my ball ended up no view of the green from here it’s
up over this hill here so I’m going to put the camera further back so you can
see a little bit of the shape of this second shot 245 yards left to the center
of the green little right however we missed it in the
proper place have a pretty decent look here tuned up and down for the birdie landed that a little too short to get up
and over that Ridge there’s a ridge there a little short of the pin didn’t
quite get it over it still have a look for birdie pretty good break from right
to left need to get the speed right that is how we like to start with
rolling the rock birdie on one one under these greens look good they roll good
they’re pure looks like back-to-back par fives to start 548 is where we’re gonna
play it from par-5 number two looks like this hole bins just a little to the
right green kind of sets back right in there
I think our aiming point is going to be that bunker that bunker is not reachable
first bunker you see is carry a ball second one is not that was a little right honestly not
really sure what’s down there we’re gonna find out all right walking up here
not the ideal tee shot we’re down in the cabbage little off the rough and the
deep stuff middle pin 97 yards left I’m gonna chip
a little sand wedge it’s a bit up the hill probably gonna get a little spin on
it throw it a few feet past these yards past pull it on back we’ll find out locking up here we are a
bit long right there and I minded misjudge that uphill just a
bit but we’re putting our five on number two one of the
craziest views I’ve ever seen on a course is up here by the green par-3 165
tee box is a little further back than it said there on the plate playing it from
a little over 180 I’m gonna hit a little three-quarter seven little right pushing a few these shots
so far this morning we’ll get it to Din walking up to the grain I had to show
y’all this view are you kidding me this is incredible
there’s our ball but that is just a side note to this view Wow
I don’t know if I’ve ever been on a green with that kind of view I mean you
can see I couldn’t even tell you how many miles a long long ways number four par four to 78 looks like
this one’s drivable I didn’t come here to lay up we are hitting driver gonna
need to take a little off this hopefully just a little easy butter cut in there
right on the green I don’t know if you saw that I hit that
a lot better than I wish I would have that landed almost right over the pin
but back of the green and definitely hopped along this is a very small green
landed somewhere back in there hopped long hopefully we can find this this is
what we’re faced with there it is not in good shape probably wouldn’t hit driver
here in the future I don’t really have anywhere to put the camera down there so
I’m gonna put it behind the hole you’re not gonna see me hopefully you see the
ball up in maybe not we’ll see as quick as that was down the hill a
little slower up the hill thought I gave it enough guess not
that’s a par here on for number 5 part 3 210 yards are roughly there about we’ll
see where we’re heading from I’ll let you know the yardage just to the right
of that tree you see pretty much right in the middle of the green 7-iron we’re
gonna take that aim now we pulled that one that should be
okay but where we wanted it another incredible view off the backside of this
part three green looks like the green opened up a little bit on the left so we
are okay just hung on the edge of the green there what have you a little short didn’t give that enough
credit putting back up the hill there thought that was moving a little bit
left but since that’s a cliff down there I should have known it it probably
wasn’t going right number six par four 402 yards number six here looks like a
good par four pretty sure we’re able to carry this bunker right there so should
be driver up the right side looks like it bends a little to the left I might have pulled that one a little
bit you can see the pen kind of right through that gap I don’t think that
that’s the play there’s a little piece of green out here
I think we’re juicing kind of play this out right of funnels left great if it
doesn’t hopefully we’re putting right here on
the right side plenty of green to work with see if we can get this up and down
we really need to throw hitting T balls a little better we are spraying it a bit
at the moment all right and with the par no GU is done
they’re here huh number six on to number seven number seven par four 391
considering I have not hit my driver very well today we’re gonna go ahead and
sting this one we’re gonna hit it right at that bunker right there shouldn’t be
able to reach that I believe it’s probably about 280 off the tee if that one really good had a little bit
of a draw on it can’t see it landing in the fairway
because of the sun shining on the fairway I think he got around that left
bunker find out hit it well however did a little bit over draw that from what I
was wanting to do big slope here in the fairway from right to left
thought I might have snuck around the bunker got to show you this we didn’t
make it by much this is the angle from the tee box so it would have rolled up
in here just missing the bunker and look where
it ended up we are a o K just in the rough greens up over that hill maybe a little right but should be okay
little short little right a lot of green to work with if we can get this up and
down DAP was in hand that was huge let’s go on to number
eight number eight par four three thirteen all right so I just realized I think I
played it Steve ox for the back nine when you would play this nine again that
was not borderline drivable that’s a long ways no idea how far it was from
here thought that green looked like it was a long ways away another miss
fairway off the tee box got a little gap wedge here it’s about 90 yards to the
pen need to keep it below this tree not the best angle from here let’s knock it
on the green it’s really gonna be tough to hold the
grain coming out of the rough whoa it’s up there we got a putt we were coming
from right over and there here’s where we ended up actually not bad at all
about 20 feet left for the birdie not a bad hot cup of tea coming back alright whore on number eight for I
really can’t believe this nine is already almost over we’re through eight
holes for even par on the day a lot of scrambling this course is no joke you
can put yourself in some situations it can be very difficult to make pars we’ve
made one bogey and one birdie today so far would love to come back another time
and play some other tee boxes to see how some of these holes play from different
yardages that’s what’s really cool about this course you can play here twice and
really play a lot of very different holes it’s a lot of fun really enjoyed
this round so far let’s see if we can’t end with a birdie here on nine let’s go
number nine for 88 from all the way back I’ve pretty much played the back box on
every single hole today so we’re not going to probably change that up we’re
just gonna play this as a par four instead of the par-5 dead straightaway
see if we can’t miss that bunker just to the left ended with a good drive right there
that’s what we’re looking for it’s at about 300 yards it’s a little up
the hill slightly and was a little into the breeze hit that one well 200 yards
left to the pen just a little right but I think it’s
been hi should be puting that is how we wanted to end it here on nine about a
20-footer left for birdie par there hope y’all enjoy getting a little look into
the golf course at swanee this place is awesome
definitely a hidden gem for sure it’s right in between Nashville Chattanooga
check it out if you’re in this part of the country worth the stop for sure
didn’t have our best ball striking today scramble it times got the ball in the
hole even par on the day you know of course I’ve never seen we’ll take it had
so much fun really enjoyed this course until next time we’ll see you when we
see you you

Random Golf Hole Challenge With GM Golf | Loser Gives $50 To Random Stranger

November 29, 2019

three no I wanted that that was hit
really well $50 yeah this is the one that we’re
going with that is on a really good line all right if we are all good we’re out
here at the junior course today Garrett Matt we are gonna be doing a
random golf hole challenge what’s going to happen each player is playing two
holes as soon as the balls been selected for the hole that you will be going to
that holes done we’re all teeing off from the exact same tee box for every
single hole total score wins and the losing total score is going to be
walking up to a random stranger with a balloon with a $50 bill yeah
so some random person either at the legends or wherever we decided to go
walk and give a random stranger 50 bucks any words Garrett any words Matt’s 50
dollars yeah this challenge I’ve never heard anything like it random golf hole
challenge so yeah as you can see one two three four five six I was really proud
of myself for drawing these numbers on here they look pretty good we’re gonna
alright let’s do it head to the tee right now we are gonna
choose the order highest number goes first the lowest number goes last middle
in the middle Matt go ahead and choose a ball three three all right I’m gonna go ahead
choose a ball six oho Garrett choose a ball four
for me Garrett and then Matt alrighty I am drawn first hold number six I will
take that that is really close to the clubhouse not very fair one I like that
one it’s just a normal show just grab wide both ah that’s easy that’s probably
the easiest one I want three so bad what you two have yeah let’s see what Zach
gets here for a second pick three oh great and two to choose a hard one to is
probably the hardest all right so I have holes three and six matt has holes one
in four Garrett has holes five and two before any of us tee off we are all
going to be playing from the same tee box right here that I’m standing on so
yeah some holes are gonna be playing pretty easy and some holes are gonna be
playing pretty tough we’re gonna go ahead and head to my first hole number
six first hold number six right there I’m
gonna show you a graph to show you the exact distance here’s the whole layout
109 yards to the pin all rough up to the green very short-sighted shot here might be a little short but that was
right at the pen we’re walking up to Zach second shot you get that one a
little short stinger for right at the pin your did to eat in a really good
shot huh should have a good up-and-down here so I’m assuming we’re just gonna go
by like how many strokes you have at the end when you’re all done stroke play really high flop right in the hole oh my
now he’s got a putt for three not a bad start that is a four for me on hole
number six we didn’t bring a rangefinder that that’s kind of the beauty of it
today is you’re kind of just guesstimating playing a new golf course
such a fun thing to do once again we are going to put a graph up we are gonna put
a graph up but I’m not gonna know what that graph says this is a very
straightforward shot here for Garrett 155 yards really nothing in his way
thanks to sunflower for letting us do this absolutely
yessir I literally don’t know how far it is I’m gonna hit pitching wedge but that
could be wrong there’s the green right there heading
just a little right but does look to be a good number wine on the green doesn’t
it what’s your game plan on your two holes
yeah well hole 101 I just got a fight over one yeah I shouldn’t stress too
much I’m really looking for a three we’re playing that as a part three right
yep old one take it simple take it calm ball
four we’re gonna be a little tricky gonna have to carry some trees but as
long as we get a good start and hold one I think the rest of the plan is just
gonna continue to be Matt Eugene sharp the third and continue to get the job
done that way and the rest will take care of itself
think about what is Garrett doing back there this is his whole me and matter up
here on the green he’s like a hundred yards back there
alright guys we got a chip from about I don’t know 20 yards to get up and down
for a three sacks obviously at four right now one over if I can make this
this would be clutch that looks really good nice girl shot
very nice touch there sir that’s a four on hole five me and Garrett are all
square through one of the two holes that we’re playing matt has yet to tee off
we’re heading back to the tee for him to play number one right Matt’s hole a
little dogleg around those bushes right there what’s our distance here
approximately all right that much perfect yep little seven are 192 yards
here for Matt just playing hole number one the normal way right over the shrubs heading a little left middle degree of
middle of the green sit at least that’s what Garret saying
so you all have seen this first tee shot a few times now on the channel it is
kind of a tricky shot because you do really need to hit it further left than
it looks but it’s really tough to just hit it out over the middle of that brush
hit center of the green here so I might have hit it a little long
please don’t have to fix a divot how we doing guys five 7-iron right we found it get
involved you want to be this big you want to look this good and smell like a
giant sack of potatoes then you’re gonna want to hit the weight room six times a
day all right there’s this ball there’s the grain very
short-sighted forty-five yards left really very very good from there what a
flop that was a shot right there sir get under it like Phil with the flop yeah
what is Gary doing out in the middle fairway is my question
you never know that was in the jaws solid sir very nice for for me for for
Garrett for Fermat all through one hole we’re on to our second hole yeah we’re
gonna see who’s gonna be giving a random stranger a balloon with a $50 bill
number three pretty much the same line as number one where Matt just played two
but about 80 90 yards longer so I’m gonna be hitting 3-wood here full send
the longest hole we will have here today 292 yards over a lot of trees and bushes
gonna choose a line and send it would I never hit 3-wood we’re gonna see
how this turns out I hit it a little right but I actually think it could be
pretty decent I don’t know it’s probable right kind of guessing on the line
really hot out here really so walking down one fairway I
think my line was somewhere right there the green is over those trees about
there should actually be in pretty decent shape thought it was probably
about to 85 to 90 off the tee so I hit with 3-wood that’s about the number I
thought I would hit that three hood and we did just off the green on the right
side perfect number very happy with that there is the pin and here’s the ball
behind Garrett alright guys so the one Zach is playing right now is the longest
hole of the day that you can possibly get I mean that’s almost a par four
length and this man just drove it with the 3-wood go go good shot hold on well done that is a par 3 for me and my
total score is a seven for my two holes really excited about that hole
longest hole of the day got our first part of the day seven strokes for me for
my two holes hey guys we were going to hold two for my ball right here here’s
the deal I got to go up and around these trees but I don’t know what club to hit
that’s my biggest issue here jared has 200 yards he’s gonna need to play a
little cut over the left side of these trees to get close to that pen I always
have really well right at it hopefully you got there I
don’t really know though maybe this will see everybody was wondering where you
went to Matt watching the golf bag well who’s watching the bag now Steve
realities back there just say that you’re fine when you’re not really fine
you just can’t not bad here folks just a little left of the green if it was a
little more right it would have been okay you did there’s those ball there’s
the green really pretty good play it’s gonna be just a little short I need this
really bad not good there folks two floors on the
day we need Matt to make it ten I’m Matt so is there an advantage to go last to
know exactly what you have to do to get the job done I think so it’s good to
know what I need to do I think I can I ripped my last one so the pin is right
through those two trees right there trying to figure out the distance I will
put up the graph to show you rough estimate on the distance and the
line Matt needs to send this one hi land it’s soft those trees are just short of
that green not an easy shot here 197 yards however here in the moment we
don’t really know the distance what number you thinking 185 be a pretty good
number according to where you hit the seven iron which would have been about
ten yards along minus ten equals a that is on a really good line maybe just a
little right I think that distance is pretty good I don’t know that I need a
lob wedge but I’m gonna bring one just a case I mean I’m guessing it’s at least
185 yards I don’t know how many people can do that
I’m just beast two cameras one there one there we’re getting the job done that
way we’re gonna get up here it’s give me the middle the green I’m in a two-putt
we’re gonna win Garrett’s gonna have to go do the balloon challenge I hate the
ball long ways we’re thinking the ball is over the green that’d be insane we’re
not seeing it anywhere on the green the line was kind of somewhere in here it’s
what we were thinking wow we found it that was an incredible shot technically
as long that was a long iron I feel a little nervous cuz I know I got a I got
to go up and down in order to beat Garrett am I allowed to clean my ball
probably not probably not it’s fun it’s good because you’re giving someone else
a nice prize a random person so even if I do lose even if he does get up and
down I’ll be happy that’s gonna need to go rocket in me I guess there’s two losers which means
Matt and I have to give the balloon that is it I finished at a total of seven
strokes these two finished at a total of eight strokes that was a lot of fun got
to play these holes in a very different way than I’ve ever played them I don’t
know about y’all these two are gonna have to both go and give a random
stranger a balloon what $50 those people buy my clubs right now head over there
and scoop up those clubs we’re gonna see y’all when we go get the balloon here
looking forward to this I do not condone gambling so I am covering this no matter
who lost this challenge I was going to be covering the $50 and the virtues of
the balloon to give to the random stranger and tell them they’re awesome
hopefully that makes their day heading into Dollar Tree right now I thank you
sir this is the one that we’re going with
you’re so special right there got the balloon paying right now thank you very
much thank you we drove around and after a little while found out that there’s no
$50 bills to be had here in Kansas City so we’re gonna go with two 20s and a 10
go give it to a random stranger we’re here at the legends you’re awesome
exactly all are lost good guys it’s gonna make someone’s day and that’s what

Epic 9 Hole Golf Course “Sweetens Cove” Is A Hidden Gem | Great Conversation With Erik Anders Lang

November 29, 2019

spellbinding might be the most epic
bunker now currently it’s right currently what is up we are out here today at
Sweetens Cove this place is pretty epic a little nine-hole course out in the
middle of nowhere here in Tennessee I don’t know if you’ve heard of it
probably haven’t you might have seen it kind of around on social media because
when people come here and play they want to post about it we’re gonna take you on
a little nine-hole course vlog out here sweetens Cove today number one right
behind me we’re just gonna tee it up and yeah have some fun these green complexes
are incredible we’ll show you kind of some of the fun shots you can have
around the Greens out here today hopefully we take it low we’ll see not the best drive a little right should
be an okay shape this is my boy Matt Logsdon here jointly yes we just headed
up they’re pretty close yeah wedge here on the first hole mine is up there in
that bunker so let’s see if we can’t get it up and down for birdie on them a little firm that was aggressive they
come back right there par on one number two are four I think it’s somewhere
around 380 yards I’ll put the yardage down below yeah we’re good we’re gonna
sting this one and that is how you draw up a stinger perfectly in play in the middle of
fairway that’s why we stung it up here keep it short hot bunker this bunker is
brutal to be in by the way over here here it is not good we’re going to be
right there on the front edge it’s not close we’re short to a very very front pin
we’ve got some work to do there right there a pen has way up here on the front
look at this is this a regulation pen by the way comment below let me know this
is like 5 feet onto the green maybe 6 feet that’s pretty crazy pin placement
the undulation in these greens by the way it’s tough to tell here on the
camera but it is crazy how much slope are on these greens number three par five driver in hand won
over through two poles we’re gonna see if we can get our first birdie of the
day right here full send pretty much dead straight away there is bunkering
down my left your right and out-of-bounds down my right your left
just put them down in the middle and you’re good to go just a hair left button should be good
to go in the fairway that’s what matters wouldn’t you be able to see where the
pin is it’s kind of there on the right side you can probably see a waving I
know the ball is not in frame it’s right down here we hit that one way over that way that
was not good like I said this was not very good we are still in play
thankfully right there that was well to the right yardage wasn’t too far off
we’ve got some work to do I’m not gonna play the back box here just for the
camera angle I’m gonna play this from about 95 yards so you can see the green
surface 95 yards lob wedge nothing with lob wedge in hand say forget not close apparently one over par knocked it in
there close here on number four see if we can’t roll that in for birdie this
green that we’re walking out to by the way might be the biggest green I’ve ever
seen it’s crazy it you might be able to hit a 300 foot putt on it I don’t have
250 of waist there’s the green from a little further
away a little different angle and how far that green actually goes back there
thankfully we played it from the are to the very front not all the way back yeah
pretty substantial different par 3 to those two different pens all right see
if we can’t get back to even par and there’s a lot about spots over by
the green so you don’t want to miss in the wrong spot we’re gonna lay it up a
little short leave us a little wedge into the green for iron sting it come on back we did have a little Ridge
behind the hole we could throw it back there
let it come on back hit that one pretty good honestly
would take that every time we didn’t want to leave it short in the bunker
there off that tight lie just spun it on back and you know yeah I think it’s
about 10 12 feet for bird let’s roll it in for tuna rough side note might be the
most epic bunker you’ve ever seen in your life would you agree logs that is
epic I mean look at that in the comments below tell me a more epic bunker if
you’ve ever played one this thing’s pretty sweet don’t really want to be in
it it’s brutal I’m pausing today’s video cuz this is in the middle of what I
played yesterday right however saw Eric was in town cinema DM and you’re like
hey come join us tomorrow which is what we’re filming right now currently it’s
right apparently in the now this one’s also yes however we’re playing sweetens
again and will reave thoughts on sweetens today described in one word
one word for Sweden’s special special it really is it different
I mean I’m gonna used two words now okay I mean ultimately you know I we were
talking a little bit here and this was kind of realization I came to was I was
told it was an IHOP course and you’re automatically filled with opinions when
you hear that even me I played a lot of different types of golf you know but you
hear that it’s 9:00 and you can download and you get one coming and you know
whatever that thought is but you know when we just played what I was told was
nine holes once again and the experience for me is that it wasn’t no I know that
like really and not the length it’s just the variety of golf the attention put
into every shot whether it’s the tee the approach a chip whatever a button and
that’s ultimately you know what makes a good golf experience that’s for sure if
there is one a green complex bunker that really stood was there one out there or
might have been several well nine is probably gonna stick out for me
especially because you just see it so often right you’re seeing it from you
know the second hole you see from the third T you just kind of keep looking at
it wondering when am I gonna get over there you know and it’s a par three so
you’re sort of spending a lot of time on the tee box looking at the way it shapes
up it’s stunning you know and then uniquely at sweetens there’s two times
where you walk through a bunker to get to a tee box which is really exciting I
think you know it’s a it is right good behind no it’s you don’t rake there’s no
I didn’t actually are their rakes here I don’t think
there’s I didn’t rake a bunker I didn’t hit out of one the standard way I would
have and that’s what’s cool too is these bunkers here are not the standard sort
of you know golf bunker that you used to where you’re sort of you know hitting
that standard shot because the Greens aren’t standard so you’re always looking
at some type of different shot too you know advance the ball towards home love
it so this course out here is a very special place here in Tennessee it’s
really gotten kind of widespread well known through social media yeah because
of so many really unique shots bunkers greens out here absolutely had a blast I
really appreciate you let me join today Amy to me I’ve got one question for you
okay you played cape kidnappers yeah this is
on my bucket list that is like top like two or three places I want to travel
okay what was so special about it I mean I’ve
seen pictures but I give me a little sense of what I’m missing out on sure
yeah I mean you know kidnappers was in the middle of a big trip to New Zealand
we played a lot of golf it was high on my list as well of places that I was
interested to play I mean you you know kidnappers you’re you’re a usually
position to have a wonderful architect tom doe present to you a series of golf
holes in a location that just doesn’t get golf very much and I mean even the
construction of course it was complicated they were dragging mowers I
think with a helicopter or something like that to get him out there and it’s
just incredibly serene right you’re you’re many moments of the golf
experience there you’re basically it’s you the gob the ocean the sky and
whatever you connect to when you’re totally alone and so in that sense it’s
incredibly unique this is not much like out there yeah I’m gonna have to make
that trip someday hopefully shoot a blog for y’all to see really appreciate again
air attack we’ll have to do this again is everyone gonna get to see your blonde
it with the persimmon they are so yeah you shot that I’ll send you something
they’ll put it in there you shot it you hit a standard with a blonde and a
persimmon how many times pretty epic so guys I’m gonna put all his socials down
below where you can find Eric you probably already follow them so you’re
probably already know where to find oh that’s okay too
so we’re gonna make sure that everyone does so thanks so much and stay tuned
for Eric’s vlog yeah out here yeah so coming in the near future it’s gonna be
a sweetness go random Golf Club I’m not sure I’m not sure when that’s gonna come
out okay I’ll keep you all updated for when that comes out I’ll keep you posted
we’ll see you soon thank you later guys even par through five on to number six
par four I will post below how far this hole is but I’m gonna take a guess I
think it’s about 450 baby so driver in hand I wouldn’t really call
dogleg just kind of bends to the left so let’s find the fairway L’Occitane could you please describe
sweetness code in one word for me spellbinding spellbinding yeah that is
interesting we’ll take it in the comments below
could you tell me the definition of spell by the way that wind was hurtin
just a little bit kind of right to left sorry wanted to pitch too much I thought it was gonna keep breaking
there and kind of stop breaking the last few feet all right
par on six onto seven number seven par four I think it’s around 300 310 yards
maybe all right 328 I was close not quite there though however we’re gonna
sting this you do not want to miss this green right or left it’s kind of a
tabletop green it is brutal around the green if you miss a right or left so
we’re gonna sting it down there leave us a little flip wedge in there hopefully
knock it close seventy yards left here lob wedge as you
can see Loxton already hit it close all righty right there a little long
landed a bit firmer than I thought landed right about pin-high there that went back to the right and that was
way quicker than I thought I actually thought that was in the heart that was
another good putt I’ve got a little work left all right
big comeback right there number eight about 390 yards driver full sin pretty
much dead straightaway there is a bunker down to the left just need to play it
out to the right a little bit honestly that’s one of my best drivers swings
this year really happy with that swing the tempo the balance the flight and
everything 67 yards left here a little breeze into full fledge we’ll take that all day hurry today
already day every day every day wanted to stop and give you a little glimpse at
what this green is called a pirate’s green swell oxen just told me it like
dips down right here and then dips back up
probably dips down about 15 feet it’s crazy the elevation change I’m trying to
get an angle to where you can see how much it really does down kind of hard to
tell here but you can see right there kind of how much how severe and then
back up the hill there just wanted to show you all this green this thing’s
crazy in the hole for birdie let’s go number nine here part three 140 140
yards little into the breeze just because you don’t want to be shortened
that bunker I think I’m gonna hit a smooth little nine well too much club they’re a little long
left we’ve got some work to do just wanted to stop and take a minute look at
that bunkering Wow yeah that is quite the bunker and guess
what it continues all the way over there yes pretty insane bunker here my boy
logs then through it and close there and I’m over here off the green I’ve got to
get this up and down no that rolled a little pass but off
that tight lie down there up that hill I’ll take that not the way we wanted to end it that is
not how we wanted to end it there on nine with the bogey
I believe we ended up at even par however this course is unbelievable I
had so much fun some of the shots around the Greens are crazy what the elevation
changes the undulations on the grains the bunkering we didn’t really hit in
any bunkers I don’t think today so didn’t get to experience the bunkers but
showed you a couple shots of the bunkers they are crazy out here they’re
everywhere they’re pretty cool so if you ever get a chance come down here to
sweetens Cove kind of on the mill enou we’re in Tennessee but it’s a great stop
for sure just nine holes and they’ve got two pins
set so you’re able to play eighteen to two different hole locations which is
pretty cool it’s a great idea had a lot of fun hope y’all enjoyed
sweetens Cove and you know what guys until next time we’ll say when we say you

Golf Course Equipment Solutions by Ventrac

November 29, 2019

There’s no comparison on the market –
what Ventrac is capable of doing. With the 4500 tractor and the dual tires, we’re able to mow about ninety-five
percent of the areas on the golf course. Well, the Ventrac pretty well cuts
everything that our other riding mowers won’t cut. Cuts all of our tee boxes
and everything that is really steep. Previous mowers haven’t been able to climb
the hills. You’d be rolling back down, freewheeling
down a hill, and I just can’t have that with staff and golfers, you know, you can’t
put people in that predicament. So you can go up to 30 degrees with it, which
is amazing for us. It’s worked perfectly. You have to
keep in mind safety and quality at the same time
because some of these slopes are so severe that you can’t just throw anybody
on any machine out there to take care of it so we feel comfortable with the machines
we have. With a normal triplex more we have to
worry about whether you just have three wheels that are maybe nine, ten inches
wide, you know you have to really be
careful that you don’t get ruts you know when you slide. Once you’re in a slide you’re going wherever the mower takes you.
With the Ventrac that’s not the case, you have a lot more control, and a lot
more grip. The weight is on your front tire so that when you’re turning you you’re going where you need-where you
should be and not where the mower decides it’s going to take you down a slope. It’s a lot safer. You feel comfortable.
With other mowers I’ve used in the past, not so comfortable. You know, if they slipped,
[unintelligible] and you just slide down a hill. You don’t feel that at all for Ventrac. The quality of the cut that we’ve seen
from the reel mower is great. I think it’s very comparable to others in the
industry if not better. The majority of the thing that it-that
it does do is it gives us a good quality of cut where the operator can safely
achieve that and still have no areas where the tires are turning or- or
spinning out. Once we’ve gone around and get the
course in great condition we want to keep it there, and the Ventrac, when we’re
mowing on these steep hills and… and- and some wet terrain with irrigation running
each night we don’t have to worry about going out
and tearing up the grass. We don’t- we don’t like to go back and to rework with
sodding and things like that and I think it really has helped eliminate a lot of
that. It’s taken away the handwork. For the
first time ever we’ve been able to mow a whole hole golf course that using whipper
snippers so four guys going out and doing areas on slopes and banks which
previously we haven’t been able to do. We have a lot of hillsides on a golf course that
the Ventrac is capable to mow straight up and down those hills which
used to be a push mower and weed eater job we have eliminated all that just with
the use of the with the Ventrac. You don’t realize how much handwork you
do on a golf course and this is taking that handwork away. Our areas that are native are hillsides
and out of the way areas on the golf course. Well what we found over the years was
using the tractor and a brush hog there’s a number of places that we could
not mow because of the hillsides. You know the tractor was just unsafe to go
mow those. Everywhere that we can’t get with a tractor whether it be traction just for safety
reasons, we’ll use the Ventrac to mow those areas down. I think when you buy the Ventrac you’re
not just buying one piece of machinery. You got the vision for having several
attachments which give you the options around the golf course of versatility. We’re all fighting for the dollar to
replace a piece of equipment but when you can go to a board member the Greens committee or an owner and set
down and tell them the value of one piece of equipment that I don’t need to
come back to you and ask for snow removal equipment I don’t need to come
back and ask for another tractor to be able to mow an area, Ventrac is truly
capable of taking care of winter spring summer and fall. And it’s such a quick adjustment when we go
in and change out attachments I mean literally 30 seconds here, you’re up and going again. That’s the whole thing with the machine.
You know? Take it off, finish your job, go do something else Here in our fleet the Ventrac is a big
part of that and the fact that there are some areas where we can’t get an
operator safely on some of these hills and still have the quality of cut that
that we desire. The steering on it’s real smooth and easy, it’s comfortable to sit on, it
doesn’t bounce you around near as much as some of the other mowers out here
that we’re cutting with, we’re cutting in areas with it that the other motors
can’t even go. I think you’ll see more and more golf
courses probably going this direction I’ve heard a lot of people in the area asking questions about it and it’s I think it’s the way to go. It’s just an overall safe machine and I-
it gives me a lot of peace of mind. I’d say maybe the Cadillac of- of the
golf course out here. Ventrac: Your one tractor solution. Watch more event track in action by

Made An Eagle While In Florida | Burnt Pine Golf Club

November 26, 2019

I hope you all are doing great today I’m
out here at burnt pine Golf Club and Sandestin in Florida the last video was at
Indian Bayou that was the front nine there had some comments saying that a
bunch of y’all travel to this area and was just wondering if you drop a comment
below just recommending some other courses for everyone wanting to know some
good recommendations for traveling down here for where to play golf that would
be greatly appreciated we’re gonna be playing the back nine’ here at burnt
pine today got done playing the front nine
shot one over eight pars one bogey didn’t really get anything going that’s
okay we’re just saving the birdies for y’all to witness and see number ten here 408 yards from the plate
were a couple yards in front of it you want to stay just left of that
bunker that you can see off in the distance on the right side I’m gonna
take driver kind of an aggressive play I’m hearing we’re gonna tee it high let it
fly y’all saw that sunglass catch that
was a tight tee shot tighter than I gave it credit for however we’re right there
split it right down the middle take that all day every day it’s on the left side
my right hand is pointing over there but one side of the green where you are
gonna get a little sandwich good distance there just a little
shorter pin-high spun back just a fraction a good position to make a
birdie on the first hole up the back nine
all right guys huge shout out to Anthony for having me out here today
this course is awesome where can they find you
San Destin Florida Bart pieing golf club come check us out I thought we did it I
thought we did it burn the edge alright for on number 10
we’ve got driver here on 11 par 4 371 see that middle bunker out there in the
middle that is our target hopefully you split it down the middle – good tea shots in a row right here on
the right side of the fairway about 55 yards left – a back left pin don’t really want to be long to that pin
however probably could have played a little more aggressive there I was a substantial Hill right there
that I did not get it up all the way sorry about that second putt there that
was on time-lapse it was glaring on the screen didn’t realise I had time lapse
had to move the camera real quick made the putt onto 12 pretty good look right there about 15
feet left to right for birdie that’s a three for me on 12 number 13
425 yard par-4 kind of want to take it right in there oh no it all wrong unfortunately that
ball splashed right out in there so we will be taking a drop right here those Goodspeed however one over through
the four holes that we played here on the back nine on to 14
wow what a par-3 225 yards so a back pan don’t miss it right don’t miss it short
really don’t miss a left – either you need to hit the get here from the tee
box but it bounced right there over there not the best ship shot however you
didn’t want to leave that short 20 feet left here for par see if we can’t roll
it in all the way around that was a bogey
however there’s where it landed on the wood
those last two holes were tough that par-3 was a very difficult par-3 didn’t
have a great tee shot however you know salvaged bogey bogey home class to were
to over through 14 here on the back nine how about this walk to the tee back here
on 15 looked at that new number 15 par 4 444 yards anything right of that pin
that you see off in the distance is no good want to keep it left that’s what we did here’s where we are
96 yards left to the pen all right that’s bar here on 15 par 5
number 16 515 yards it’s a tight driving hole might get
aggressive here there wasn’t a whole lot of room the
fairway does tighten up found ourself in the bunker 200 yards left here gonna hit
a 6-iron that’s the best shot I’ve hit today
can’t believe I got it over that lip had to get it up quick very happy with that
swing especially after making a couple bogeys in a row a few holes back put
ourselves in position see if we can’t get an eagle boom that’s an eagle right there we
haven’t we haven’t had an eagle on the channel in a little while right there
back to even par Eagle right there knock those two bogeys right out the window
yes on 217 par 4 375 yards we’re gonna sting it 150 yards left – a back pin we’ve got a long pun ahead we just played that off the green and that was a three-putt well kind of a
to put since one of the putts was off the green but yeah that’s a bogey number
18 par-5 bends to the right over those bunkers our lines gonna be just to the
left of them it sound pretty good pulled it just a little bit right down here in
the rough but do have a pretty good look at the green on this lengthy par 5 265
yards left here we’ve got hybrid in hand I didn’t come here to lay out hit that one well it was pulled a little
bit a little left but should have a decent looking it up and down walking up
to my ball it is alright got about 25 yards left it was a little
long left that hybrid flew a long ways not a very good first part I thought was
gonna be quick that is a par on 18 one over on today’s

Can I Break My Record From The Front Tees? | Part 2 | Golfing At Nashville Golf & Athletic Club

November 26, 2019

what is up y’all hope y’all having a
great day out here at Nashville Golf and Athletic Club for the part two of the
two part series can I break my record can I shoot 59 from the front tees we’ve
got the back nine ahead today shot 4-under 32 on the front nine want to say
thank you so much for the incredible support here on the channel we are at
35,000 subscribers it’s going to be a little breezy today we’re just gonna
hesitate to 10t let’s take it low number 10 par-3 100 yards right back into the
wind so I don’t want to hit a full wedge here I’m gonna take a little bit off of
a gap wedge it up lower take a little bit of the spin off I landed that one past the hole it
looked like it had stopped right next to the cup but just kind of kept rolling so
now wind is really strong there’s a lot of slope right there I need to get this
wound up and down as you can see right there there is her landed about four
feet just past the hole rolled all the way down to right there off the green bar here on ten these greens are quick
especially with that pin location they’re on ten hit a really quality
wedge shot in there it basically stopped and then kept rolling par for 290 yards
our target line is kind of right on the edge of that car path it is reachable
normally but it is dead back into the wind to highlight a fly I don’t know if it quite got there but
I’m not gonna hit it much better than that with there being cold and there’s a
lot of wind up there came up just a bit short but hit it well ship them back up
the hill there we are right there ship them back up the hill let’s get this up
an alpha bird take that for the first pin slammer
today number 12 par 4 297 yards you can see
the pin right through there so we’re going to need to take it up over these
trees big win from left to right come here to layup and that is why you spend time in the
gym working on balance stretching and all of that so times like when you
completely slip completely lose your footing you’re still able to make an
athletic move somehow get the club anthem ball hit that one actually decent
stay pretty straight not bad at all it ended up a little further right than I
thought just off the back edge of the green there roughly 50 feet left let’s
get this up and down really like that ship right there for the bird we are here on 12 these shoes are super comfortable but no
real spikes on them when you get into dormant season for the grass sometimes
it can get really slick you may want to look into using real spikes if you’re
somewhere in the world where you have dormant Bermuda grass a little bit more
traction with real spikes number 13 par 5 444 yards the hole bends are round to
the right and the green sits right up there we’re going to be trying to hit a
cut around this tree right here that is what I like to see out a driver
right there 110 yards left roughly 20 feet left here for a camera
drop in eagle it just broke a little too much but that
is another pin slammer 3-under through the four holes here on the back nine
seven under total need an eagle to fall to give us a chance to shoot the 59 got
a par 3 coming up here 14 let’s knock it close 115 yards middle pan so – played just a little more break
there that is a three here on 14 this is such a great drill to work on scoring on
the course and the mindset it takes to go low make more birdies than you’re
used to making get comfortable with low scores so try it out let me know how you
like it let me know some results and see if it helps you number 15 part 5 443
yards Green sits kind of back behind those trees right there
our target line is going to be right on the edge of them good tee ball right there 145 yards left
to a middle pen walking up to put the camera behind the green so y’all can see
the ball down a bit better very happy with the tee game so far today hitting
some pretty good drives giving us some good looks into the green so hopefully
we can capitalize on one of these not the best right there short in the
bunker have a little work to do let’s get it up and down and we’ll take that all day long in slammer here on 15 and that pin
slammer moves us to 4-under on the back 8-under total 272 yards this tree right
here is a little bit in the way there’s the green there’s the pin right
there you need to hit a good one I know when you need to right here we’re just
gonna have to chip one in got to go with hybrid that is the right Club driver is
a very very difficult shot not even to be very aggressive that’s just not the
club hybrid hopefully we did it up there kind of front edge couldn’t tell right there should be just
short of the green you want to play to your strengths even when being
aggressive we’re chipping it very well right now so we’re going to be
aggressive with the second shot here wanted to get myself the best
opportunity for a – there’s the ball right there in the bunker we’ve got
about 30 yards left to the pen let’s go there’s a tweeter been
practicing on the short game short games feeling really good have a lot of
confidence around the Greens right now so wanna set ourselves up for the best
possible opportunity to score so we did there tried to give it a run that’s just
a little short on the second shot for the Eagle attempt but still walked away
with birdie 5-under on the back nine under total on 217 par-3 140 yards right
back into the wind a little different especially in the wintertime what I’m
gonna do is flare open my left foot just a little bit put the ball just a little
further back from Center and then it’s gonna be kind of like a 3/4 focusing on
good tempo which is gonna send it a little lower ball flight a little more
penetrating better contact it’s gonna equal better results for sure I normally
roughly hit this shot about 30 maybe 25 yards less than a full swing with that
Club and that’s right the 8-iron that’s even
a little short I could have swung a little harder but left ourselves with a
good look at birdie also try not to get too steep on that shot it’s easy to do
focus on maybe a little bit flatter path with that swing will help with that
penetrating ball flight and not getting too much spent good shape right here
about 15 feet back up the hill for Byrd I will top this in for the three that’s a part here on 17 that leaves us
at 9-under through 17 holes for the can I break my record miniseries not looking
good need to make this tee shot would be a world record for me considering this
is a par 5 so we’ll see but we’re going to give it a rip 18 par 5 414 yards the
green sits off back in there our line is going to be just inside those trees
there and we’ll take that for the last drive
of the day right there I hope you’ve enjoyed another episode on this
miniseries can I break my record from the front teased out here at Nashville
golf had so much fun not look like remember at the record today but
encouraged with the short game encouraged with the tee shots hit a lot
of good tee shots so it’s a lot of good to take away from the day and had so
much fun let’s finish strong knock it up there close see if we can’t roll in an
eagle good shape right here 101 yards left to a left front pin little sand
wedge in hand should be in pretty good shape right
there good shape right here landed right there ended up right there 20 feet left
for Eagle Oh Oh I needed to hit it
alright that is a tweeter here on 18 that is it for this episode of can I
break my record finish the 10-under 6-under on the back 4 under on the front
62 had so much fun hope y’all enjoy coming along if you did drop a little
like down below that’d be greatly appreciated and y’all until next time
we’ll see you only see ya

Golfing With Hickory Clubs | Part 2 At Kingarrock Hickory Golf In St Andrews Scotland

November 21, 2019

good morning welcome to Kingarrock my
name’s Ross are y’all kidding me the Niblick with the bounce back we’ve
got a birdie look here I mean the Stingers that are gonna be sent with
that are you kidding me is if a – I wasn’t hard enough to hit
her yet today Ross we’re just leaving the fourth Green heading off to the 50
about 20 minutes from St Andrews so not too far away from the old course and all
those are looking for a fun thing to do so a little gap in your itinerary go
free morning a free afternoon then number five here 368 yards Weems is the
name it is the family who owned the property before the Sharpe family it was
just a field when they owned it the Shar family turned it into this epic golf
course that they have here today this is a dogleg right kind of bends around that
tree this is a par 5 I know 368 par 5 yeah however not really hitting these
balls over 250 so it is a feasible 4 5 maybe will reach it I’m going straight
to the pro shop and buying this driver after this I’m pretty sure I mean this
thing is money yeah so I thought I played that around the dogleg however
there’s a second dogleg on this hole that’s why it’s more 5 good tee shot
hope just keeps going from there you know you’ve got past the first dogleg
off the tee and now you’ve got another one for your second short you guys have
played the hole well you’re over in the left side side but you know over here
even in the middle of the fairway where no goodness off the center cut you’ve
basically got no shot at the green you’ve got a choice to fire knock over
with a Niblick or a mahi or you know sort of go for broke and try and smash
it over the top of the trees along Eyre which doesn’t often tend to work out
very well or the heck of clubs but yeah tough toe up so far so good for you guys
we’re skating under the second dogleg couple of bunkers up there to catch you
as well so we’ll see what happens there are bunkers on this course I never got another one that’s different
the 7th Street see if anybody ends up and um see everything yeah we’re gonna
be going with this right here we are actually in great shape right
there through the little chute to the pin bunkers on either side we’re gonna
send it got 155 left to the hole that didn’t go well it’s alright we’re
we’re in the tall stuff and yeah I don’t know this is quite the Stinger Club
alright so you know it wouldn’t be playing golf in Scotland if you didn’t
hit a shot out of the Heather so yeah we may be walking over here to find the
ball but I wanted to get the full experience
I mean that’s why we’re here full experience hopefully we find it yeah
there it is yes in the Heather all right we need loft here we need to take a
whack at this I’m not sure this is gonna go well we got through the grass there
that was a practice swing hopefully we can get this out we’re back in play every day you cut up
and down from far way this is one of the two bunkers in front of the green pretty
sweet little bunker sand is a little different as well we’re a little off the
green here right back there we’ve got putter in hand we need to get
that ball rolling that’s another par number six 313 yards named monument why
exactly is it named Monument so we’ve got the house sandwiches with the host
gets its name from and right on top of it as a little monument and the story
goes that originally the monument was down in the town of Kieffer and it can
it might a spot where a treaty was signed which seen a couple of solar
clients really say you know we’re not gonna invade Cooper and the monument
used to get in the road of the traffic back in the day so Lord we’ve we talked
about him off on the 50 he bought the monument and then moved it stuck on top
of the hill and the hell and stuff like that see it’s just a beautiful that is
awesome little dogleg right green sits behind
that tree right there just short of the house that club rotated completely in my hands
they’re not to make excuses that’s just what happened that went way left we’re
gonna have to go chopping through the weeds again so
we’re walking down the fairway just talking about this shot that I just hit
and yeah there’s no denying what we’re that way no I mean you guys don’t see
the footage in the future but yes I’ve gone about 100 yards forward and then
taking a sharp left and gone about a hundred yards left
so we’re chopping through the weeds like you say and see we can find it that’s
right there yeah that’s not my ball
very good shot though sir thank you so much for hosting me this week it’s been
incredible walking me around st. Andrews getting a play tons of different epic
golf courses thank you so much where can can people find you and what exactly is
it that you do and are focused on first of all absolute pleasure you know like
the world experience faith and sin Andrews you know especially for the
first time you know faith golf was set up years ago with the vision of

we really like to speak about and promote the other courses as well that
are caused by its and Andrews we’ve got 48 golf courses on faith you know

would work a lot with as well and just to sort of inform them and educate them
as to what was available on this fantastic region thank you so much I
seriously do appreciate it this has been a trip of a lifetime so far and can’t
wait to come back – have you anything thank you well right excellent show and
this rough yeah come come with me check check that divot
out right there that was the the path yes and we ended up right there a rough
can’t believe I got that much distance on it we’ve got some patrons like out
out in the field over there yes I can see for no different these aren’t
actually ours these are a local farmer that uses one of the fields to look
after it but we do actually have our own flock of sheep and photos where are we
on the there’s summer holidays at the minute and it’s got a little bit too hot
here in Scotland believe it or not for the sheep so if we base it on strike
setting underneath the trees not eating any grass so at the weekend a little
haircut and when they come back we’ll get them back into the rough and as you
can see they’ve got a lot of work to do when they come back and but yeah
everything we do the sheep were no different is about trying to maintain
the golf course great there’s certain 1920s atmosphere of rain the golf course
so the Sheep would have been used back in the 1920s to look after the golf
course we do exactly the same thank you there is where we ended up a little
short of the green about 65 yards left I’m gonna go put the camera behind the
green give you a little better vantage point all right we’ve got a uphill all
5-footer for our bogey right in the heart let’s
go by the way I’ve never been so excited
about a bogey rough stuff a few so yeah so semi so it’s called Cundy 5 301 yards
and so Cundy is another Scottish term for a little stream and it just runs in
front of the green here and then you’ve got the bunker which after the rain
yesterday it’s gonna play like a water hazard it’s all full of water and then
on to the green some some pretty thick stuff at the back as well so you got a
pretty accurate with this tee shot and fine get aligned somewhere between the
pen and the bunker and it sort of trundles on from there but yeah bit of a
stuffed tee shot for the guys to see early on 101 yards let’s go this is a
par 3 I’m walking behind here to set up the camera make sure we get a good
little look at the green because we’re gonna knock it close well I was hoping to show you all good
shot there we’re in the weeds long that went a long ways distance control is not
great we’re gonna have to work on that I felt like I needed to hit that though I
guess yes I really didn’t I was about twenty yards over the green and we are
in the weeds for the third hole in a row yeah
thankfully we’re only one over on those holes so far down when we get this up
and down but you never know just don’t I partnered with Scotland home of golf for
this trip it’s been incredible I want to thank them so much Fife golf
and Liam have been so excellent to work with and have him show us around take us
to these incredible courses want to thank them for this partnership this
week truly been a trip of a lifetime bucket list opportunity we have got to
stop hitting the weeds there we go we got to get this up and down down some
form with the OL Niblick yeah it’s better let’s go
are you serious how do I make a par from back there that’s that short game coming
to work even though we didn’t have it for the first two holes it’s all good we
came to play here the last few Monda numbering do get cleaner sort of gap in
the trees up there you go to see about clearer sort of things so I say the
attention was named the second hole has been the second told dickhead but when
you couldn’t get rid of that tree they had to sort of go for Plan B and named
the eighth hole that instead freaky throw sure here you go play out
to the right-hand side and fame so clear in from there or do you be brave and
trying go we go over the rough stuff and try and leave yourself about this sure
sure and that’s that’s a choice you’ve got out here of a risk reward shot you
know you can place a bail out to the right or you know go for glory and try
and take it over the rough stuff or even over the trees if you’re feeling really
brave to see if you can get it around the front in the green and take it from
there I didn’t come here to lay up so that’s
probably gonna be the option yeah 279 yards were we’re gonna send it like over
there yep all right so we got a driver well you can’t get too high because
that’s that’s the height of the tea so we’re going to tea it to there and let
it fly we’re not sure look like it went maybe
over the corner I definitely got a lot on that I was told it was a proper sky I
mean we’ll see do you think I got it around the corner
he’s not gonna afraid that very very very high launching potentially sky
driver didn’t make over the corner sorry sorry to tell you you don’t think
so there’s no hope around that corner right there boy
it’ll exhaust mean there yeah maybe wait a lot lor it did but I hate it solid and
that Ryan Quayle long mmm-hmm you’re gonna have to flown that about an hour
fifty yards past where mine finished you don’t think that’s in the bag
no what the trajectory you had sir the team will tell and it started to rain all right there’s
hurry ended up little distance left you need to get this up and down for par relationship with this club yeah I will
say my putting inside of five feet it’s been pretty good you just got hit affirm
played straight that was a bogey there we are Thanks six
over something like that that’s not the point of today today is just enjoying
the round it is a complete round now that is raining here in Scotland so I
feel like I’ve gotten the full experience so far one hole up on a nine
thank you we have number nine here sharp is the name 208 yards pretty straight
away it is drivable Green sets just to the right of that tree this is
definitely a tee I let it fly moment I definitely didn’t come here to lay up here’s where we are just off the front
edge of the green about 40 feet left for the Eagle Wesco that wasn’t good you
could see that as well I didn’t want to leave it short though so there’s that I
feel like I’ve lost all feel I’m not sure oh that wasn’t good we didn’t come here to lay out we’re in
with the park nothing like a little three putts well
we’re off the green so not a three-putt to end the round really appreciate you

Can I Break My Record From The Front Tees? | Part 1 | Golfing At Nashville Golf & Athletic Club

November 21, 2019

what is up y’all hope y’all having a
great day we are back in Nashville back from
Hawaii definitely missing that warm weather but always glad to be back in
Nashville but why was incredible thanks so much Ryan for hosting me there
those courses were incredible trip of a lifetime for sure so thankful for that
opportunity we’re back here at Nashville Golf Athletic Club the front nine tried
to shoot 59 from the front tees we almost did it the last time we ended up
shooting 60 so I want to give it another go see if we can’t shoot 59 from the
front tees this is going to be part one of a two-part series the front nine
number one par-4 352 yards from the front tees our aiming point is going to
be right over there kind of on the edge of the fairway the fairway does go to the
right a little bit there’s water all short of the green drivers not to play
here all right good shape right here 127
yards left to a middle pin excited about that tee shot thought tee shot was in
great shape excited about that approach shot that is right where you want it you
want to miss it to the right of that pin because anything left is going in the
water even though we’re playing this from the front tees that approach shot
is no joke not much room between the bunker and water oh that had a little more break in it
than I thought all right that is a par here on one number one is
always the most difficult birdie opportunity no matter what the challenge
is number one is a very difficult hole par they’re on to number two
this is going to be a drivable par-4 belasco straightaway par-4 262 yards you
can see the pen right there you know it’s a go time I normally would hit a
hybrid here but we are gonna have to go with driver balls not gonna fly as far
in these cold conditions and I need to take a little bit off this driver get
high high little cut in there that’s what we’re looking for really happy with that swing right there
I’m pretty sure it spotting couldn’t really tell I think it stayed on the
green so we could have an eagle look ahead great shape right here there’s
where it landed there’s where it ended up back edge looks to be about thirty
feet left here for Eagle pin slammer here on 2 hopefully that is
the first pin slammer of many today one under through to number three is a par 5
up next the one to ask y’all quick question what is the coldest temperature
you will play golf in right now it’s currently kind of upper 40s a little
overcast a little breezy feels in the upper 30s so it’s pretty chilly out here
just wanting to know what’s the coldest temperature you’ll play in comment below
number three par-5 440 yards we want to keep it just inside this tree line here
everything kind of slopes from right to left in the fairway let’s tee it high
let it fly not getting a lot of roll today so
wanted to hit that with a bit more height try to get as much Kerry as
possible definitely did that if I want some high thoughts for sure and I said
just a little right all right right there 140 yards left to a middle pin uh-oh I hit that one pretty good need to
factor in that the balls not gonna fly quite as far in these cold conditions
have roughly about 25 feet back up the hill for Eagle let’s go pin slammer off to a solid start 200
through three we’re on in number four which is a par-4 326 yards not really
reachable into the wind today so we’re gonna sting it this hole just bends a
little to the right so a little butter cut stinger is just what we’re looking
for if it’s wintertime where you’re at don’t
assess the stinger shot too much go easy on yourself until it warms up because
they’re much more difficult to hit during the winter ball doesn’t compress
as much ball isn’t gonna fly as far so don’t assess it too much until it warms
up good shape right here right side of the fairway 99 yards left to a middle
kind of right pin happy with that wedge shot right there distance was good
however had a bit too much sauce on it that’s okay about 15 feet back up the
hill for birdie well not leaf right there saved me from
rolling down the hill even more there’s a four-on-four
number five par four little dogleg left pins back up around the hill back over
those trees definitely have a decision to make here off the tee decision time
hybrid probably not gonna reach it driver I’ve really got to get it up
quick and take a bit off drivers try not to play goal here is to score low
I think hybrids to play it’ll still leave us with an uphill chip to the
green tried to hit that a bit too hard left
that out right well that was just a bit right yeah tried to string a bit too
hard right there should have just one smooth but hit the tree drop down we’re
okay yeah right up in there something like
that’s where it hit drop straight down right there about 35 yards left up the
hill oh that broke a ton there at the end I
thought that was looking good that is a par here on five to under
through five holes that is the hardest stretch on the golf course but we’re
gonna need to start rolling in some of these birdie putts if we want a chance
to shoot our low round from the front tees however this is just a great drill
to work on going low making a lot of birdies shooting some scores that you’re
not typically used to shooting from the tees you would normally play and this
mentally prepares you for when you’re playing well making a lot of birdies
you’ve been there before I just think it’s a great little you know challenge
to do when you’re working on scoring on the course number six par three one
hundred and thirty yards down the hill probably playing more like 115 I’ve got
sand wedge in hand walking up here did push it just a
little bit right that’s my buddy’s ball right there definitely hit it closer
good shot sir no response from him zero he’s got ice in his veins he wants to
make a pin slammin birdie that is a par 3 here on six number seven par-5 440
yards our our aiming point is going to be that little tree right there anything
on that right side is going to give us a good look into the green driver in hand we’re walking around trying to find the
ball hit it really good it was right on the cut line of the fairway couldn’t
find it it’s a little wet out so thought it might have plugged and walked over
the hill found it 85 yards left to a roughly middle pin I don’t believe I hit
that ball that far in these conditions at all I must have landed on his
sprinkler head either way we’ll take it what’s wedgie
it close that’s my buddy up there throwing darts that’s Paul close to the
hole lob wedge in hand a little long but we got a putt for
Eagle come on let me in break Oh thought I was
gonna have a bit more break however that is alright good roll pin slammer here on
seven that moves us to 3-under through seven need to finish strong on this nine
to give us a good chance going into the back nine to shoot our record low for
the front T challenge out here at Nashville Golf however hit some good
shots and you know the putts aren’t quite falling today but that’s okay
we’ll get the rock roll in here shortly hopefully these last two holes on the
number eight up the hill par-3 135 yards a little into the breeze with these
temperatures dropping so quick ball is really not flying anywhere laying it up
on the green spun back we need to get this up and down of all actually kind of almost popped
out right there right there but it went in the bottom par number nine par four
297 yards straight down the hill you know the motto y’all didn’t come here to
lay up let’s go it’s getting a little dark I couldn’t
really see from here but I hit that really well we’ll take it that’s what
we’re looking for out of driver right there hit that one pretty straight it
was on a good line just right of the pen I don’t see it yet walking up here I
don’t see it on the green but I do think it might have just trickled off the back
edge that’s the swing you’re looking forward to in the day with driver
walking off the back side of the green that ball did carry a bit further than I
thought it is right there good swing we’ve got a little chip here
get up and down for a bird very dope in slammer on9 hope you’ll
enjoy coming along the front nine we finished at 4-under 32 four birdies five
pars played pretty solid for the most part didn’t really roll any long putts
in so kind of kept us from going real low but it gives us an outside chance at
shooting 59 on the back nine but need to go 9-under but with the back nine
there’s three par 5s so some Eagle opportunities you never
know so stay tuned for that that’s going to be in the next video uploaded hope
you enjoyed coming along drop a little like if you did comment below other on
course challenges you’d like to see in the future and y’all until next time
we’ll see you only see ya
