Yeah, we had Wade and we had uh Gareth from Ashrove. That’s right.
As our pro. So, that’s when Zach got you through and then Gareth took it over.
Yeah. Yeah, we won at Bribe and then we obviously Yeah. came through and we uh we won for Ashgrove. So, we won at Ash Grove, won the final at Bri Pack Harour.
Great spot. But, uh, we haven’t filmed here. It’s been up here. So,
um, been a while since you’ve been here, is it?
Correct. Five or so.
Looks fantastic. It was rainy in Brisbane driving up, but perfect up here. Little bit overcast, but fantastic.
Perfect temperature.
So, we’re going to go out. We’re going to play a few holes. Probably play a bit of Ambrose.
Play Ambros just because we’re going to play off the white.
We’ve got special guest for a couple of holes. So, we got Richo’s me son. There you go, mate.
So,
I’ve seen the videos. You needed some help.
We needed some help.
So, Superman’s here. Thank you.
Superman’s here, boys.
Well, you realize I can’t carry out all the time. I know. I know.
Yep.
So, it’s a big fellow, too.
Come out. You’ve had a hit here today.
Play this morning. I’m playing after this. I might have to run after like six holes. Six
holes.
Maybe. I don’t have
at least six under them. So, we’re going to go out have a hit. Yeah, I’ll show you how.
That’s fantastic. It’s going good. Yeah.
So, you’re here for uh week.
Yep. So, playing all the sunshine coast back to Perth.
Sun’s out. This is why we came. Perfect condition.
So, if we come over to Perth, you’ll take us out. We’ll go to prison.
You don’t want to come to Perth. Just stay here. This is great here.
Pretty good.
There’s a couple of There’s actually I’d take that back. There’s a good courses, but
my daughter’s over there for 12 months. There you go. At uh
one of your 11 kids you’ve got.
Yeah. Mach. Yeah. Well, between us, we got a whole soccer. What do you reckon? Yeah, I’m going to say some things, but I don’t know what I get away with.
Rich chopper. Richo chopper. Sopet.
There you go. I like it. Be perfect.
Sounds like it could be.
Do you lead the way?
It could be the new live golf bench.
You know what? What are we going to do?
Do a low draw down the go.
Well, uh,
you got to rip in
rip in a rock on.
Oh, is that the same? Because he loves the rock.
Y loves the rock.
Well, she’s pretty obsessed with it.
Yeah.
Right, Richard, you can take out first.
Go for it.
All right, mate. And so at this stage, uh, we’re not going to have any drone stuff, but you never know. Maybe we can ask somebody who knows somebody who maybe could buy some stuff. Maybe
you buy you buy a beer.
How many like it has to be a Guinness?
Yeah. Where do they sell Guinness here?
Um, I know.
The first pub we went to have a Guinness. Not a good start. Not a good start. Sunshine Coast. Dare I say Queensland is a little bit different in
there. There’s a lot of 4X. There’s lots of ambery and light amber, not so much dark stuff.
Yeah. Okay.
Are we going to warm up?
No. This is the warm up. All right, this is the warm up. There you go, Richard.
I haven’t had a bull for god knows how long.
Well, luckily one of us here has. It’s not us, too. I’ve lost that.
You went right front right of the bunker. Somewhere down there. I got no idea. You want me to go? You go.
Ron, if you would like to go, the guest goes second in this. The captain goes first, the guest goes second.
Okay. And so if you hit a good one, mate, that’s great.
Okay. But luckily you’ve been sitting down for the last two hours, you know. So, so, so at least you’re warm. Don’t laugh.
You Everybody will be laughing at mine, mate. Golf shot. I mean, I don’t really need to hit, do I, Richard? I’ve ripped that.
You actually have hit that.
It’s about time this channel saw some good shot golf,
mate. It’s about time that there’s some decent golfers here.
Golfer back. Well, I mean, you are, you know, 50. Looks like he’s 30. I can’t wait the other ones glare. Yeah. Right. Anywhere down there.
I don’t even know why this is my warm up. Richard, am I for the TE’s? I think I am. That’s fine. I reckon they’ll be over. That’s a very smooth swing,
mate. That’s cuz I’ve got no muscles.
That’s a very smooth swing.
I’d like your speed though. Four. How far you hit it? Oh, yeah. Miles.
We got 176.
Ron has absolutely got me by about 70.
Do you hit Do you have hybrids?
Yeah. I like that. It’s a rhetorical question. Yeah.
Doesn’t actually have to be answered.
No, I got everything.
Okay. Yeah. Yep.
We’ll just carry on. I got I got about 16 clubs. Right. 176 for Joe.
Two putters,
five wedges.
Yeah.
I can’t use any of them. All right. Are we warmed up yet?
Nope. But yeah, not not massive greens here at Twin.
That pin too.
Yeah. Oh, nasty. Is that back
back? Right.
Yeah. Okay. Richo, get out of there. Oh, the kangaroos. Yep.
Got the kangaroo. Terrible.
That’s all. It’s all right, mate. Here, maybe I’ll hit one, Ron. Just just just so that you could you can be the savior,
right?
Cuz he is Superman. You know what I mean?
I’m no good under pressure. I’ll give you a hot tip.
All right. So, we’ll see how this one goes.
What do you got? Six.
I’ve got five.
Because I am nervous.
I am.
No, not really.
No, I’m good.
But I haven’t hit a ball. So, this is the only reason I am nervous because I haven’t actually played or hit a ball for a monthish. Just play for like the skanky fade, right? That’s exactly what I’m trying to do.
Like the the the low dodgy necky gross.
Yep.
You can’t af one.
That’s fine.
I don’t like this. Open up your hips more.
What do you mean? Get a longer swing.
Yep. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What are you going to grab a seven? I reckon you need to Where’s mine? Long or
I’d be lucky. What about you, mate? You got a hybrid? I don’t. No, I got two on.
I got
I reckon when I get
I got one that doesn’t work, you know.
Well, I reckon when I get to your age, I’ll need them.
All right.
Yeah, you’re right. Even when Even when I was your age, I needed it.
Hasn’t changed. draw.
No.
No. Are we going to do a Russell Henley? We might have to chip something in.
Did you see the golf swing?
Yeah. We were mid game watching.
I feel that part two. That like weak one that just lit. Oh, I know that shot. I’ve got that in the bank. That shot.
Got that in the bag. It’s in the ref club.
Poor bike.
Oh, look.
One landed right here.
Have fun, mate. Or you want me to go? So, are we going to do it in order of best to worst putter?
Oh, get out the way, Richard. I’ll go first.
He’s the best. Especially with that new thing. Have you you’ve mucked around with just for a few times? Like
uh that Yeah, I got like the tailor made version of it, but I’m going through some things with the putter.
I got a long one if you want to muck around with it.
Oh, honestly, it’s it’s doesn’t matter what’s in front of me at the minute.
I mean, the greens are quickish.
Just perfect. Like nothing crazy. I remember I was allowing for too much break. That’s what I did this morning. This is probably the breakestiest green.
All right. Okay. Ignore what I said.
Have a look at it. Have a look at this run section. But everything else is it’s I reckon
once it gets up that first section, that first third, Richard, it’s probably not going to be breaking that much. So yeah, uh Ron’s here to give us a good head start towards, you know, whatever we shoot.
If I watch after and you just capitulate,
you’ll be here. There’ll be a couple of comments. Yeah, you’re Or we play really well afterwards. SL doesn’t matter that that land,
isn’t it? There is a lot of Jack in there. I I did watch Bob Does Sport and Wes said uh Wesley said that Bob is very much Jack and Arie together.
Love it. Love it. Jack, he’s the greatest golfer ever. He’s got it.
Yeah. Yeah. What’s your criteria? Oh, this guy.
He is the best putter. Couldn’t do that at all this morning. You glad I’m stay. You reckon Jack? You reck? Then who is Lee? Lee Torino.
N this guy.
Have you had you had a TV in the last 20 years? No. He’s got six kids.
I’ve had kids. Last 20 years. Jack record. Tiger. I think Tiger had harder opponents.
Sorry, mate.
No, no, no. That that that’s all good. I I need people to talk.
Oh, it’s him. He’s grabbed him right by the by the That’s a big fish. Just quietly. Are we going to give ourselves that, Richo?
Can I try?
I mean, yeah. Actually,
I need one.
Actually, the demons are about to pop out. A good part.
No demons.
All right, we’re good.
And he’s correct. He’s got it off. So, good start.
Hang on. We’re going to keep going with the combo.
Yep.
Just
I reckon Tiger had harder opponents. Jack had like six, seven BS and the rest were like accountants. Oh, I’m pissing people off. You
Is that true?
Oh, I agree.
They came out of the coal mines and then teed off round one. If they weren’t coal mines, they were pharmacists. So, so equipment wasn’t as good.
I know. Yes. Yes. Good point.
Golf courses probably weren’t as nice.
So, you get more lucky is what you’re saying.
So, a bit like cricket when you look at Don Bradman’s record
on pitches that were covered.
I know.
Terrible. So, you look at him and go, “How good was he?”
I think the answer is there’s no way of knowing.
I think Jack was
Well, they’re never ever going to
They’re never going to No.
So, so Jack,
unless unless they go back in time.
Well, we could do an AI generated.
Oh, there you go. Let’s get get on to your whatever it is chat GPT
and ask who’s the best golfer ever.
Well, maybe we’ll put it off over here.
So hard. I think golf wise Tiger could do amazing things, but Jack won all the time.
It’s true.
And come second a lot and had a lot more second place.
The only stat that he really beat him on was he had more PJ tour wings.
Yeah.
But was there more P PJ Tour events?
Now you can’t have more than one week. Yeah, but when when Jack actually, you know,
grew up, there probably wasn’t as many.
Yeah. Yeah, mate. This is good. We could argue this forever though as well.
I’d go Jack. Yeah, you’re pulling me that way as well. You’ve convinced me.
Yeah,
I’ i’d be more that way. Just
I think Tiger was I think if they played at their best, he was a better player.
Yeah.
But Jack just I did like
he’s got some mongrel old Jack. Jeez, this is so hard.
He just had ice in his bones.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Build a ninebedroom house and filled every room except for one because he didn’t want anyone to stay over.
Really?
Yeah. Right.
He’s full of it.
No. No. In a good way.
Yep. Love old Benny.
All right. So, Jack’s the best. You’ve just convinced me.
Yep. He’s the best.
That’s crazy.
Righty, Rich. Second hole here. How far do you have on your uh
124?
24. Yep.
What’s the wind doing?
Nothing. Look at the flag. It’s not moving a bit. No, nor is the water. Have a look at that. I’m just going to try and go up left so I don’t lose this ball. What do you mean?
I don’t want to lose my What? Yeah. Lose it in the hole.
No. Right. Oh, Richard. That is
That’s a golf shot. I just can’t hit it. What’s
Well, we got somebody else here. Do you Do you want to have a hit?
Me?
Yeah.
Are you sure you don’t want to warm up?
I probably should. Right. Like a couple
like I mean you’ve got I think Yeah. Yeah. You don’t want to mix and match.
Do you want to hit
Do I sit out and let Jolly hit the shot?
No. No, mate. We can all play. We can all play. We’re all here for a good time for for a few short holes. Club.
I got pitchy wedge. Is that what you got? Yeah. But you are a big boy. I don’t know if mine will quite get there.
Big Australian man.
Big Australian man. It just shot Jack. He He He is. So, uh Joel Oh, Joel’s here. Hey, Joel.
Joel.
Yeah, we’ve been Great golfer. Who’s the greatest golfer ever?
Uh oh. Well, not me. Close to me, but
is that what you were saying?
Yes, basically.
We had a big argument about it.
The greatest golfer ever
all time. Uh look, for me it has to he Oh, yeah. Um Jack Nicholson. Yeah. Uh no, we’ve had this argument a couple of times actually. Um for me it has to be Tiger Woods just simply because he’s the only golfer I actually got to watch. So
there you go. That’s what I said. I think it’s all about the time.
See a bit of uh
Jack. Jack.
Did you really?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bloody hell.
He is from the
Yep. Yep. Cab a couple of times. This isn’t this isn’t my appro uh my request to go on.
Oh no. Sorry. Would you like me to go first so that you don’t
Oh, do you want to go first?
No. No, no, no. You mate, you make me look bad. This could be um Please go in the hole.
This would be ugly. No warm up. Sorry, mate. We’ll get it,
mate. That’s okay. That’s okay. We’ll we’ll give you that breakfast ball for the for the next hole.
I was in front of the TE’s, too.
So was I off the Sure. Say Richard, doesn’t a decent golfer’s strike sound different? Quacky to me.
Oh. Oh, no. No. I’m talking about you, Ron. You know my hand. I thought it was Shank. Luckily, Richard’s had a good one.
All right. So Ron, if you take those two dudes out, who do you like then
after that?
Yeah. Oh, then you got Ben Hogan.
Probably Ben.
Yeah, you’d have to say Ben. Favorite Aussie golfer.
Favorite Aussie golfer? Adam Scott. Easily. Scotty. Peter Thompson.
Peter Thompson. Peter Thompson. How old are you,
mate? I I like being old. I’m an old head, you know. What’ you say there?
Huh?
Is that a loud? I think so.
You wanted to get one inside wrong. Yeah.
And I’ve done it. No, you don’t have to worry.
Lifelong ambition. I’m done now.
Actually, I’ve got one inside either both of you. That’s true. Actually, on the same
on the same old.
Come on. That this is I’m not repeat. I’m not.
No, no, don’t say it. I mean, cuz again, you know, you know, can’t lower yourself,
right? Come on, Richard. It’ be nice to get uh like six six under by the time Ron takes off. We won.
We won. Nearly. Nearly two.
Two after one would have been nice.
Hang on. So, different putter now.
Yeah, mate. What’s going on?
Well, left to right, right to left. You know what I mean?
No. Jag.
What do you mean he’ll jag it? What do you mean he’ll jag it? This is just
This is on repeat.
See what I was saying about going back to this boat.
I I agree, mate. Don’t be wrong.
Isn’t it funny? Like,
thanks, Lab, but I reckon the Mazud
But there’s something about the look of just
You like the look of it? I think that’s half the thing with the putter. Once you put it on the ground, whether it’s weighted, whatever, when you put it down, you’re like, “Yep, you’re probably gonna
I had an old Scotty Cameron put. It used to be Michael’s.”
Yeah. Right.
Right. I had that for years and years. And then I switched to this one,
which is exact same shape, everything.
Probably the same weight.
Yeah. Just slightly less bent.
Yep. Cuz the other one
from the old
Yeah, I’d say.
But that’s cuz Jared Rory Mroy Yeah. So that’s why
chucking. So it had a little bend in the neck. Yeah. Okay.
But put with it for years and years, but I think you just said it right. Like
Yep. Love it. B.
It’s
You just on your own. We had nothing to do with that.
You’re exactly right.
Had nothing to do with that hole.
And then you did all that one.
He’s And he’s not emotional. I like to spread it around. Yeah. Back to square. Okay. Cool.
Right. Off to the third.
Beautiful.
Righty, Richo. Third hole. Great. Great putt. Great everything.
What did I get my first hole?
What did you get?
Oh, mate. Everybody asked that same question. You know what I mean?
Um they they can’t wait to see it.
Straight over that first 168 ball. Solid. Yeah. It’s interesting, isn’t it? Mate, he’s just drawn it too much. See, Ron, you should be just saying.
He’s joking. I thought he hit a fade. Sorry, mate.
I was just playing for the big I’ve got I’ve got no idea. Like
he’s he’s impressive. He is impressive. on. Everybody looks at the swing and just thinks Joel, but I’d see that I I would like that as a a bit of a match.
I thought it was more like me, brother John. Johnrawraw. It’s got a little bit of a tongue out there, doesn’t it? That’s pretty good.
That’s a good shot, isn’t it? Oh no, it didn’t show up on that one. What happened?
Oh no.
Oh no.
Too fast for it,
mate. That’s what I was thinking.
I was just about to say, can you slow it down?
I’d say operator problems. Operator problems. What have I got a 3wood for after that? I don’t know. I think we’re fine.
I think you’re fine, too. I’ve never hit this thing, so Good job. The bottom, but that’s a, you know, that’s a safe one. You know what I mean? Just in case Ron’s in a not so good spot. 20 30 m from the green.
Good job. Are you going to hit a
What was that? Sorry, mate.
80 new that new lobby from basically perfect off from Tal.
I got you. You got the protos. Yeah, of course you did. Yeah, of course you did. There you go. All the way from H.
All the way from H shiny.
It’s very in comparison. I like it.
That looks good. No.
Oh, that’s for you. It’s like
Yeah.
Old man sharp. Sorry. I’m going to stop. I’m going to stop.
Oh, man. Come on.
Come on, Dad.
You want me to go first? You go first,
mate. You You’ve already hit a great mate. I don’t even know. What do we get?
Uh, it’s 80 m. 55,
mate. Go to 55. I reckon it’s perfect, but I think it’s a perfect lobby for Ron.
This is This is not my uh nor is it mine. That is not
Is that just short or good? Oh, what do you
I think it’s short. It’s short by about two foot.
I’d really hate those like in between. I’d rather just full or nothing.
That’s me too, mate. So that’s why you got 12 wedges. That’s about all we got. Yeah, I’ve got plenty of wedges. I don’t think I’ve hit a full shot with one of those.
No, mate. I don’t think you have either. I’m liking it in the hole.
Straight out the hole. Oh, like it’s it’s the shot shape. It’s just the second bridge.
It’s at the airport.
That’s gone. Oh,
here you go, Rich. Uh, what do you got? It’s funny. You chip around the backyard with them. You’re okay.
Yeah.
When you get the full job. But yeah, like everything, isn’t it? You got to get used to them. Yeah. The one just raz a bit. Bit of left raz. That’s the shot.
Good shot.
Hey, that’s that’s a wedge shot.
We get a sn. Unbelievable.
I think it’s just short. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Drop it in.
Hey Richo, what’s that?
Just put it in the hole. So, it’s probably one of my favorite holes here at Twin. There’s other There’s other great holes, but that’s a pure off the tip like 400.
It’s a pretty long hole. Oh, it did not move.
Move. That’s the thing I found this morning. I just kept seeing something
and it just wasn’t there.
I thought it was right there.
I was going to call it.
Yep. It was right there. Keep it in the bag.
Oh well. Back to the lab.
One one missed putt. She’s out,
mate. Trainee Luke Ryan, if you’re watching, he would change putter grip. He would change grips.
Every putter, every every hole.
Oh, mate.
I’m getting that way.
Yeah, I’m so am I. Oh, the zero the zero torque.
Beautiful. Do you do you actually find it to be different? Like, have you mucked around with that compared to anything else? Like as in
Yeah. I had to go this then I had to go to the lab. But the lab part I felt like it was the face is up there. And then I went back to my spider and I noticed how
moved around a bit.
Yeah. Yeah. But but feelwise it was normal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. Very good. So is that 33
boys? If you if I leave and you boys
par in stern email coming your way. Yep.
Imagine you’re yelling at an email. That’s uh
again not too bad. But I mean
all around
four fourish hours. Yeah. It’s not too bad
as a single. Even for me just a single like filming by myself with a tripod.
It’s less than 3 hours. Like it’s pretty good. It’s He loves a chat,
which is a good thing. But it keeps you sane. You know what I mean?
Or insane. Either way.
Yeah.
Um what are we? Fourth hole. Par five.
Yep. Second par five. Dead straight. Oscar Bravo down that way. Who?
Oscar. OB. Remember Dan? Yeah. You were talking about Beth Page Black. What was the sister’s name? Oh, mate. Oh god. That’s not covering that bunker. It’s Yeah, you cover that for sure. Yeah. Easy. Okay. Easy. back here, mate. It’s a bit bit up and under, mate.
Bit up and under.
I haven’t [ __ ] around with this shaft combo,
mate. See? Okay, so you’re a putter guy. I’m a shaft guy. Oh, really? Absolutely lunatic.
Like Tailor Mate sent me a driver and like what what do you want in it? I was like, just big bright color. Don’t care.
Well, that’s what the yellow M4 or whatever.
Not not him, mate. He will go through 50 yards. Oh god. I’ll change him during the round. Yeah, give that a go. Stay there.
Stay. I think it’s all right. Anyone near as far, right? It wasn’t a spinny. See, there’s a different noise to it. There’s like a actual hitting of a golf ball instead of a
like mine.
Show him how to hit a ball. Come on.
N one of you.
He doesn’t want to. He doesn’t. Save yourself.
You’re all for putting. You’re the putter.
Good. One up.
Yeah. Just roll. Just Just roll one over, mate. Just
roll one up there, mate. He’s He’s an indoor cricketer,
is he?
Oh, can’t you tell
high? I just big leggies. Just slow cuz you bowl quick and like they just react and they get a quick single.
True.
So, you’re like, “Right,
just lollipop everything.”
You hit the for six, but you get a lot of catches, too.
Chuck some grenades at a boom.
The pie chucker.
The pie chuck. Where do you want this one, mate? Do low draw again. I love that.
Exactly the one before. 200 m. The low draw command. Yeah, that’s fine.
I told you one up down the right. I’m glad you did.
Good angle in
Righty over. Mate, your drive, mate. I’ve done nothing.
You hit first. You
Yeah. Oh, thank you.
Before you wait.
Well, on the par five, I actually hit the second shot, so you’re right. Maybe that’s what it needs to be.
You got the draw in your bank. In the bank. Um, whatever comes out. Did you say you can’t fade it?
Whatever comes.
No, that’s it.
There’s the draw.
Yeah, I think I need a ball sponsor.
Yeah, lucky lucky I’ll put a safe one down. That was going to be a good shot if it wasn’t at the trees. You got to borrow the hybrid mate.
Oh yeah. Sorry. Ready. Get ready out there and sling it in. Clean his nose on that. It’s a good shot though. Oh, it’s soft. I don’t like that. I’m going to be putting that.
Yeah, we don’t chip on this channel. No sling. Sorry, mate.
What club?
That didn’t go anywhere. Give it back. Right, Ron. Sorry. This is not good.
Well, I didn’t help the situation either, but this is proper scary stuff. Yeah. Do or do we just put it up there and just take a P?
No. This is big.
Come on. All right.
Big razledazzle coming up.
All right. If I wasn’t nervous to play with Ron, I’m now nervous. Yeah, that’s go. But this is
I got the bunker. Oh, mate. Well, is isn’t like this is what shows the best guys and girls in the world. Hey, it’s just this is not nothing to them.
I don’t think they’d play a flop for it. Almost just like a normal chip shot with spin like they would have that in the locker.
It’s true. That right knee gets on the ground for me. It doesn’t help. Oh,
all right, buddy.
Okay,
good luck. Yeah, thanks.
I probably need to grab a ball here.
Jeez.
There’s a ball. Can I get the least grainy spot?
I don’t. It’s I think it’s over there in the rough. That’s it. No divot. Go. Good drive though,
mate. Great drive. Great second shot.
What are you doing, mate?
We’re capitulating. It’s massive. Before you’re even gone, we’re capitulating.
All right. Oh dear.
We’re going to the bunker.
Come on, Dad.
Come on, Dad. He’s a great Right, Richo. I don’t even want to hit a bunker shot. You wouldn’t have gone to the bunker all day, would you? No. Good.
Which one?
H mate. Go on. Just Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just chuck us up.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Richo. Good. Yes. Love it.
Yeah. It can be a bit like that sometimes, though. Righty, Richo. This has got to get out. Just hold it. We can move on. Didn’t need to see that. I’ll be honest. All right, Steve, let’s grab mate.
Oh, mate, that was unlucky.
What could have made that better?
Three inches.
That’s what I was saying, too. We’re absolutely having a man. Yeah. Oh, good shot. Good shot.
Going. Good shot.
That’s better. There you go. There you go. Is that what it is? Just like that,
mate. All you got to do now is chip it in. All right. Great shot there, Ron. Why can I do that out of the bunker and nip it like that?
Yeah. Or you hit behind the ball.
Yeah. If you hit behind the ball there,
what happens happens. Yeah. Oh, Ron can do it all.
We’ll rake the bunker. Look after the course. The course will look after you.
You can’t fix me.
It’d be it’d be a bit of a revamp. I’ll be honest.
You can’t fix me, can you?
Yeah, but there’d be some work involved on your end.
Yeah, I know. And I don’t reckon I’ll
You’ve hit a tight draw. You’ve hit a high fade. What else do you need?
You can do it almost. What are you going to hit here? Call it
straight one. Here we go.
Ball straight. Uh, is this a fifth hole? Dead straight. 320 odd. Just literal go time. Dead straight.
Dead straight. He’s called it. It wasn’t bad. Richard, your drone’s gotten bigger. No. a golf shot, mate. That’s uh fairway and I think based on the 20 30 m shot we had
um dead set question.
Do you feel the club bounce off your neck
sometimes? Did you feel it then?
It then I did. Yes. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t.
Do you do you do you know what we looked at changing?
Yeah.
Making it better.
And we went I actually play okay golf.
Yeah. Yeah. What does it look like at square at impact? If you can get it back to impact
Yeah. 10 10 left a couple degrees close.
You know, I I putt reasonably well. I generally chip. All right.
Yeah.
I find there’s 11 handicaps on a putt putt for what’s the handicap?
Yeah, about 10 or 11.
11.
11. Okay.
Very good putter. Grab the camera. A very good putter. Oh, mate. Don’t hit it too. That’s a flight there, fella.
Go left. Bunker.
I think that’s bunkerish there. That’s a good flight.
How How low have you been, Richard?
Huh?
How low your handicap been? You got a six.
Nice. Do
you know it’s the same thing? I get I could work on it. Make it look a lot prettier.
No m short game’s good. Do you know
I work on 100 in?
Yeah,
that’s what he does though.
Yeah, of course. That’s where it is. Yeah, 100%. Tit was trying to hit a pass R because Oh, maybe.
Look, we’ve tried to change the swing. I’ve gone worse.
Yeah.
So, how long have you been doing it that way? For [ __ ] How long we had each other? 20 years. Yeah, about that
probably ever since I started.
He’s actually my father too. So,
so I never started playing golf till I was about mid20s.
Yeah. Yeah.
Started in the ambulance. Blake said, “You want to come play golf?” said never hit a ball for in my life. Yeah.
And pretty well done. And you can clearly see never had a lesson,
right?
He got into a cricket career of just
Yes.
He got John Dy’s golf club.
You know, it’s funny because it doesn’t feel right when I try and change it. And I get we could change it and everything else, but
look, even if I change, I’m probably not going to hit it much further at my age.
And it might affect your short game. And you don’t want to do that.
Don’t want that. So, do you know what? You know, there’s plenty of people. You know, the amount of people you come across and they go, I love your swing. And I go, you’re kidding, aren’t you?
You can have it. You can have it. Take it.
I’ll give it to you for free.
Yeah. Just take it.
The problems is the dudes like me that think they’re going to be a pro golfer or think they’re a pro golfer. Yeah, you look at it and go
just play some reasonable golf and enjoy yourself. Yeah. Yeah, like I talk to young guys and go mate if you’re not like realistically plus seven eight
don’t even it’s harsh but it’s like true as well
mate I mean you’re at your club you’re pretty good overall but you’re not
yeah you wait till you see
with a lot of sports like play soccer
you know every kid turns up and every mother thinks they’re Ronaldo or the next Messi do you know what just let the kids enjoy themselves
there’ll be one in
20,000 kids that will actually make a living out of in soccer.
You just enjoy it. Have fun.
That’s it.
Right, Richo. This is Ron’s ball again. He is a big boy. It’s actually even come backwards. So like he’s he’s like the ball’s like I’ve hit it too far.
Just cut back.
I can’t raz it that much from the greens, but I can raz him on the fairways driver. Right, mate. This is your go zone cuz we’re useless from here.
Yeah. I mean that that’ll work.
Skip up. Skip. Roll left. Uh,
look, I I feel really comfortable now to hit a half decent shot.
Yeah, I I’ll back myself in now after two dunch in the bunker. It’s like very close to what I want to do.
I just started a bit too right. Too right. Too right.
Too right.
Two right to make a Wong. Oh, he can clip it. That’s pure. Go in, Ron. Like that’s that’s very good. Where’s that Raz? But that that is pretty much bang.
It was all I was thinking about was the last shot I hit where the divot was that big.
Straight the bunker.
How do you not take a divot? It’s easy with no ball.
I started chipping like this. So I put my leg back and then I and then I like just use my let the club actually go more around me rather than going up and stabbing the ground.
Give it a go. I’ll give you leg back. Oh, I thought we were leging things.
Mate, you nearly had your leg back in the wake.
I know. It was close, wasn’t it?
Leg back and then little little chest turn and let that club like feel like it just flows around your belly.
So, so it’s around. So, we’re pointing we’re pointing it at my belly. Are we?
Yep. Yep.
You if he hits us well, I’m charging him.
How much?
Uh, how much? How hard?
How much pay?
Make it 200.
He’s got lots of
Yeah. Buy a beer. Hey, I don’t mind that look.
No, that’s yuck.
You don’t like that?
I mean, I’ll take the result. Yeah.
But like
what I like it’s like most chippers like they stop and flick. So it forces the belly to go. That’s why
more more of this stuff.
Yeah. Rather than
the old retri shop.
Oh, lessons with Ron.
I might I might try that myself next time.
Okay. They’re on.
We’ll give that a go.
Give it a go.
Yeah. Just keep doing it. So I’ve got to pay Ron at least. Slab skin. Line it up.
You can find me again. You drop the foot back.
He’s dropping his foot back. Draw. Trying to draw. Has he done it? Fear. Fear. Oh, mate. We’re losing, mate.
Thanks, mate.
Fantastic lesson.
Thank you, Ron. Very much. I’m going to go out there and play some more golf on the other side. Good fun.
Good fun. Enjoy your time up here.
I’ll be watching it if you if you fall apart after this.
Well, we fell apart in the previous got those tips. No, you’re good. Yeah,
mate. We should be all good. in
mate. Um,
you’re 48.
Anyone looking for uh some golf lessons?
Contact Ron. Hey, I get paid in beer. I’ll take beer. Yeah,
beer or coffee.
Hey, if he can fix us, you can fix any.
I reckon use your other part, too, Rich. I know that went in, but I like the other one.
I agree.
I I agree.
Yeah. Cool. Thank you, Ron. Thanks, mate.
We’ll probably keep it. Yeah, certainly muck around with it. Right. Rich, have you got my ball?
Uh, yep. Hang on.
Perfect. Perfect.
I’m not teeing it off. It’s all good.
Okay, good. I thought Ron had stolen it.
No, no, Ron need actually he doesn’t need golf balls. He hits a bloody straight.
Um, his are very good. Very good.
The best Crade Mark you’ve ever seen.
Oh, mate. Without a doubt.
So, here we are. We’re on number 310 from the back. 285 from here.
Six.
Number six.
Yep.
Basically, I’m thinking
you hit it down at the bunker dead straight down the middle. Yep.
Would be brilliant. What a perfect day,
mate. It is lovely. I had me doubts when we were coming. Oh, it’s bounced. Yeah. It’s not in the best spot, but it’s fine.
I just laid off. I didn’t get the gas moving towards it. So,
Ron said get your body through it a bit more. Why did you drop that foot again? You drop it back more. Okay.
It works on the P. It surely can work on everything.
Surely. So, I’ve been trying to hit cuts. And that’s the thing is cuz I hit the one like I hit back on there on uh on four that four on that I’ve pulled.
I’m trying to hit it less to the left as in trying to hit more fades than anything. That’s what I’m trying to do. or just hit it bolt straight.
Y
but that feels like a massive cut to me and it’s not.
No, that went
like it probably you know how you say I’m going to hit it straight back there. I just hit it straight then.
Y
that’s got to be the straightest shot I’ve hit for a while.
Yep. So we got 75 m back into the fan a tiniest little bit. Like it’s not too much.
We haven’t capitulated off the tea yet since Ron’s gone. So that’s nice. So let’s let’s continue. Richo, let’s this is
Yeah, let’s let’s try and get
an homage to Ron to your son.
Good luck. Yeah,
that’s him a lot now cuz he’s over
Richel and Ron Chopper.
Yeah. Yeah. Made his kids play AFL.
Yeah. That was the wedge between the family. It was the football. It was the AFL compared to the league.
Yep. Yep. It was very hard to come back from that.
What do you do?
What do you do? Right, mate. Come on. This is This is you. This is a perfect distance. Not a flog. I reckon this is almost the same as what we had back there on the third hole. Sit a little.
I think it’s Well, actually Oh, it’s on just over the back.
It looked like it sort of danced around. Yep.
There a little bit.
Yeah. You catch it and you go a
Well, it’s just that groove low, isn’t it?
Yep. Go back another 10 m. Perfect.
You’re right. It It was not much at all, was it?
No. No.
So, it’s basically to me it’s basically the same shot as we hit there on um on the third hole. Very good.
Nice. The wedges are a bit flat, but I got the So, I’m using new wedges. Richo,
new. Yeah, because again, I mean, I need chippers, but I’m not going to get a I’m not going to get a chipper. But
what’s that? Nice.
I’ve had them in the past, as in Cleveland.
Yeah. Yep. Yep.
But they make
Oh, mate. They make good stuff.
Cleveland make really good wedges. And these feel quite soft in comparison to others that are similar. They don’t feel much. I think that’s what you sort of want in a wedge, don’t you?
It’s feel. It’s because you can always get different bounces.
Yep.
So, right. Very good.
Good stuff.
Let’s keep going. Ron, Steve.
All right. That sun is not quite nice, actually.
But it start off chilly and not too bad.
Um, Richard was just back there.
You would have taken it if it was yours, right?
Yep. Yep. Cuz it would have been nice.
Yeah. I mean, it would make it no worse than bogey, right? Is this going Where is this going, Richard? I reckon it’s really sort of bit here.
Yeah. Okay.
That’s what I’m thinking.
I like what you’re doing put as well.
I don’t think it’ll go too far. The course is pure. The the greens are mint. Like the greens here have always been mint. I used to work up here many years ago.
Foot back.
Foot back. Oh, wrong. Oh, if I hit that Oh, that’s okay. Maybe Ron’s on to something.
Well, it did want to start to go a little bit that way. Maybe
I think it was a good putt. All right.
Well, the only the only poor part of that was I didn’t hit it. So, this is going to be funny for me cuz I’ve only had one putt. Oh, yeah.
That was on the second the first hole. All right. Maybe I need to take Ron’s putter. It’s kind of interesting. I I think when it comes down to these, like it’s the it’s the towh hang, you know what I mean? That’s slightly tow hung. Yours is more tow hung. Ron’s is more that way. Do you know what I mean? It just comes down to the your release pattern, I think, more than anything. Okay, let’s go in.
You do like the look of that, don’t you?
It’s got everything I want. Like, it’s got the plers’s neck like like the answer.
Yeah.
But it’s got a longer lineup like I like on the lab and stuff. Oh, that was in for all money. I mean, sorry, Ryan. It’s over. We’ve capitulated. We haven’t done anything. Um, I like the roll. I like how it feels. I like a lot of things about it. So, we haven’t got a bogey yet.
No. Well, luckily we nearly did on the par five back there. Thanks a lot.
We’re all right.
All good. Right, Richard. We go. Here we are on the
seventh hole.
About 125.
Yeah. So, we got 122. It’s um
Yeah, it should be all right.
Yeah. Pretty well.
Maybe. It’s basically the same as the second hole.
Yeah. So,
again, the course is a little longer off the tips. Um and depending on how we go today, we might get out and do some more. But
yeah. Um definitely uh definitely not the longest here, but yeah, it it’s long off the back or quite long off the back or longer off the back. That is too flush, mate. That’s past it, isn’t it? Oh, it’s a great shot, though. Yeah, it’s long, mate. That is That was a perfect strike. That was strike,
mate. No, no, no. That was perfect. Oh, that was magic.
But yeah, see that’s the difference. You miss that a little bit and it’s probably on the back edge, but could you literally creamed that? Like that was maybe the best eight on I’ve seen you hit. Oh, apart from the eight on a magenta, it was exactly like that one.
That was it. Go in. Seriously, Richard, go in. Just right of it. Yep. Just right. Good shot.
That was nice.
Good.
I’m just, like I said, I’m trying to feel hitting cuts and it feels funny because I usually aim to the right and go something like that.
Good stuff. Oh, Steve.
Mr. Pival.
Oh, Mr. Pival. We missed it. It’s just behind the uh
just behind the hump.
Behind the hump.
Um here we are.
So yours was actually pretty good. Yours kicked off the downs slope here.
Kicked off back.
Yep.
Yep. So mine’s a little longer than I’d kind of want it to be. But again, it is a bit down breeze and I was just happy to have struck it pretty decent.
Yep.
Right. Please, we need to make at least another birdie here, Rich. Cuz I don’t know. I feel like the Ron Magic it’s left us. There’s Mr. Pival. Steve.
No, not quite hard enough.
What do you mean hard enough? It’s there.
It was.
It’s just gone left.
Yeah.
Well, it just sort of stayed there, didn’t it? Actually, you’re right. That that barely moved.
Yep. I can’t really see it going left, though.
No, I thought that was pretty good line, but I mean, it was. It was a great putt. Oh, great. Great pass. Okay. But like I said, I feel comfortable. Yeah. Yeah.
And again, it’s not with the lab as much as I never feel comfortable with it. the mezz because of the look, but then the uh Oz was very close, but I think I got a little too far upright because I was trying to change something here. I’ve kind of gone back to about 70°.
Yeah.
69 maybe. But either way,
I think the other thing with mine is that like I’ve had the thinner tool grips for so long
cuz I only got like little hands.
They’re massive.
Oh,
they’re massive.
Well, a massive thing, but I got things I think it feels more comfortable. Yeah.
You know what I mean? So, if people want to know what it is, we’ll do a what’s in the bag at some stage. It’s a uh spider X. So, Rory shape, but it’s Shefflla. It’s a Sheffler putter. So, plumbers’s neck uh X 36 12 in with the counterbalance grip on it. So, so I grip down to about there. I basically go SS I think. Superstroke SS. That’s where I’m at.
Something like that.
It feels good. So, here we are, mate.
Eighth hole.
The eighth hole. probably the best looking hole here. And I think it it does index number one.
They’re pretty well down to the round to the right.
Yeah. So, I mean,
so for me
from here, it’s 212 to cover the bunker on that first section. 220 to cover the right section and 260 something to the tree straight through. Yeah.
I’m looking at those trees.
If you go over the pel,
see where that ready part is in the middle of those trees. Yeah. True.
About there.
Is that a goose or is that a pelican? It’s a goose. Oh, I don’t know.
The white thing.
Oh, sorry. Hey.
Uh, yeah, there’s a pelican over there. There’s
definitely pelican over there.
There’s a pelican over there.
Oh, mate, can you move?
Can you move? Straight down there.
I was going to hit a stinger. Now I’m not.
Now I’m not because there righty over. Yeah, it’s a beautiful part of the golf course. And another, you know, it’s only another 10, but another 15 further back usually. Oh, no.
So, that’s the thing. That bunker is in play. Oh, no.
Oh, no.
It’s a um
It’s not
You just had to had that same shape
but further to the left.
Further to the left.
Yep. where I said I want to aim it at.
Yep. Yeah, because it was a good shot. It just needed to uh to be a tad tad further to the uh to the left.
Pretty straight. I just You aim it, right? Was dropping that foot back.
I did see that. Ron’s going to ask for royalties.
Yeah, I know. The the foot dropper. You got the penny dropper and the foot dropper.
Yep. sit a little, but that’s spinning enough. It’s just going to be a long way in, that’s all. Yeah, it’s basically perfect. It’s just the issue is there is probably 150 60 out to not a massive green.
I was trying to go over the middle of the bunker at that other clump of trees, not the ones on the left,
because like I said, it’s it’s a little shorter. You you the further left you go, the safer. Yeah. But the further right, the closer. 127. Uh, it’s 150 to the back. So, if you were to hit something at 130, I don’t think that’s a bad number. Eight. I think if you hit a good eight, you’re in you’re in the ballpark, mate. Because that last cuz that hole over there
Yep. Uh, which is the second hole and the previous hole.
Where are you?
If you hit an eight, I reckon that’s a good number cuz I think we’re back in the fan a tad. Nice head covers there. Look at that. The old sack stuff. Look at that. like colorful. There’s a bit there’s a bit going on in those bags, right? Uh what do you got? Eight.
Yep.
No, I like them. There’s something a bit different.
A bit different.
Yep.
They feel good. They’re good quality. Says the Aussie golfer. Your head covers just Oh jeez. Don’t drop your That was a straight. It’s shank week. Gee, that was from not committing to the shop.
Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. I don’t What a goose. Okay, come on. Same shot as the last. Go a little. I told that a little. Rich needs to go maybe 20 m. I think it’s a good shot.
Yeah, good shot.
Pretty good for me.
It’s going to be short, I will think. Looks all right.
No, no, I’ll take it. Hit some sand. Right, Richo, you got ears. You got yours. Yours over there.
Yep.
So, that’s the shoot. If you want to hit driver, you get in between these two trees here. So, it’s tightish.
Is pretty tight there.
But, it is it’s a great, like I said, this is probably in my top five of the course favorite holes. Like you said, you can lay up further and then just
a little longer than I thought. I like if I was playing single stroke, probably nearly hit a hybrid further back.
No, just hit you’d hit chief and make sure that you’re not in the water. You’re right.
Right. So, like I said, a couple of meters too far short. I towed it a little bit, but I’m glad. So, I took a wedge instead of a nine, like an easy nine, just in case I got it to the right and a little bit longer. It gets very narrow up the back section there as well. Yeah. So, there you go. There’s some of those head covers. Bloody lovely. Go a little. Go a little. Richo. Foot back.
His foot back. All right. So, how many pots are we going to have to get old Ron? Jeez, mate. I’m in trouble.
Great, mate. You’ve got it sorted. Hey,
Ron can have one of his children. So you could share it. Yeah, you can share. Well, I get Hey, what’s that? We’ve made one par. Is that correct? Yeah. Two.
Well,
no, we made one with Ron and
on that par four. Yeah, we did it. Lipped out. Damn. Yeah, you’re right.
Yep.
All right. Ninth hole. Good stuff. Who you looking
right, Richard? So, the guys in front, they’re probably just out of range, but we shall wait. Have a bit of a look. Have a bit of a look. You got old mate. You got old mate over there on the camera.
Yeah.
He He doesn’t know what he’s doing, but but what he does know how to do is make birdies.
Well, he does. Maybe some golf lessons. Like I said,
I buried a couple since he’s
he’s gone.
Hanging around.
You think it’s just his aura that’s the energy?
Yep.
All that energy.
Maybe maybe we’ve mended the family tree, so it’s all right.
Now the footy doesn’t matter.
Yeah.
Right. Let’s go, Rich with the ninth hole. 360 odd. Bolt straight. The footy.
Bolt straight. The footy. He wanted to go see his son. It’s up on top there.
Yep.
Not a horrible.
No, no, no, no. I mean,
all right. Maybe the the foot back with the long swing doesn’t work.
Don’t stress about the full swing with a with a back as much.
Maybe it’s a short swing foot back.
Short swing.
Yeah, long swing. You’ll be right. Either way, mate. Long, short, it’s all the same. Cuz maybe the foot back in my big long swing, I can’t get the hips.
Yeah. Rightyo. Good shot. There’s not going to be a huge amount of speed there, but there’s not much spin on that one. It would be only around the mud mid 160s ball, I think. But it’s going to have two grand’s worth of spin on it. So, if it was really dry, it would have gone a long way.
Y.
But yes, sort that back foot out. We don’t need that back foot back. No,
only on the putting on a chip. That’s it. So, what you were saying?
Well, I’m going to go a pitching wedge.
Yeah, I think a pitching wedge is a little long, but I think you need a gappy as in a gappy as part of the
That’s what I’m saying. That’s what I reckon.
So, you go pitching at 43 down to 52
because I reckon I’m not getting a 52 there.
No, but 48. Yep. I agree, mate. I agree. So, pin looks like it’s up the front middleish.
Let’s just put this in the hole. We don’t have to worry about it. And then that way then Okay, I’m moving the camera, which I shouldn’t with this because it’s going to go. It’s a good shot.
Is that okay?
It’s kicked a bit too far to the right. But shot tracer. Sorry about that. That might not even come on because I moved the camera cuz I thought it was going in for a second.
I might stay.
No, there’s fine just because Yep.
cuz I I actually thought when you hit it that’s going in the hole. No, from my angle I could see it was just a bit to the right, but that’s okay.
Yeah. So, it’s a little bit further right than you want. But that’s the thing. If you got a gap wedge and played that shot, that would have been much better. Bit farther to the right than I wanted, but that’ll be good distance. Yep. Good shot.
It’ll be very good distance. Very good shot.
But to the right, Richo, I don’t know lie angles, but I’m trying to get the club more out in front. I’m trying. This is what it feels like to me. So instead, that one felt like to me there under. I’m trying to feel like that almost, which is such a strange feeling.
Yep. You would not be unhappy. So that’s mine there. Mine was quite good. Richo’s was literally just over here. It was a really, really good shot. Thought it maybe be a little bit longer and a little bit more to the rider, but it was actually really, really good. But the greens here are pretty much bang on mint. Good effort. Good effort, mate.
Went a little bit more than I thought.
I thought yours again. At least they’re starting on mine, mate.
Yes. So, certainly going well. I could see you using that putter though more. I can definitely see you using that putter a little bit more.
Well, yeah. You say it’s that look and feel, isn’t it? What you get used to and what you’re happy with. Just that same one in it. I started that middle of the hole. Well, I know I pulled it probably a tad compared to where I was aiming, which is still going to be my tendency, I think, no matter what.
Yep.
But it does feel much much better. Front nine done, Rich.
Done.
So, it’s two, three parts. Yeah.
So, we’re six under. Yeah.
We’ll have to work that out. Six under.
Anyways, thanks Richo. Thanks Twin Waters. Thanks Josh. Thanks everyone.
Oh, mate. Thanks. Look,
it is having this. So, so, so just need to thank Ron. Stay there. Just thank Thank Ron. Is Am I on the left of screen or right of screen?
Yep.
Thanks, Ron.
Good on you, mate.
Thanks, mate. Really appreciate it.
Thanks, Richard. Beautiful. And don’t forget, smash that like button. Say, don’t you?
Oh, that’s what they say to say.
I don’t know. If you don’t like it, don’t like it. Hit hit the dislike. Who cares?
Yep.
I don’t care. But anyhow, see you then. Beautiful.
