All right, folks. In today’s video, we are trying something very new. We’ve challenged Wa Neman to six unique challenges that he will draw randomly from a fishbowl. It’s actually a head cover, but you get the point. Oh, I love this one. The challenges include playing barefoot, playing blindfolded, playing exclusively from my bag, playing with junior clubs, and finally being distracted by the music that I pick out for him. Yes, I’m going to be his personal DJ. Walkman has won five times on tour this season. And did you know that he’s also won more prize money than anyone on Earth in 2025? So stick around, put your feet up, and watch attempt to break bar in the first fishbowl challenge. We’re out here at RTJ Golf Club. It is a beautiful course. I’m a big fan of Robert Trent Jones, a big fan of Wen Nean. Let’s get it started. This is the fishbowl. Fishbowl. In here is a challenge. There’s a lot of There’s There’s six or so. Can I read it? Yeah. Eric’s claps. Oh my god. Well, you got things, so it should be fine. All right, this big moment here. Why can’t you even hitting my clubs in a prom? This is He’s down. That’s so cool. Oh, let’s see. I’m going to try to hit a straight one at a fireball. This is nice, eh? This is better than mine. Wow. Wow. Not only is we Neman basically the best golfer in Chile, but there’s actually been a lot of press that’s come out recently how he punches above his weight. And even if you think about the Masters in special invitation that he got to the Masters, that was a big deal. That was like borderline unprecedented. And on some level, it hinted at some type of world where live players can play in majors, which is essentially what we all want at the end of the day. I mean, the guy was not only the number one amateur for 44 weeks when he was 17 years old, but he also won the Genesis Invitational, which is just a huge event, a big marquee event on the PGA Tour. The one thing I’m looking forward to most is he’s going to play a hole blindfolded, and he has no idea. I doubt he’s ever done it. I’m curious to know what he’s going to feel. I think we need to make him walk the hole with the blindfold. That’s going to be an experience that’s going to be really interesting for him. And I have a feeling like as a golfer, it’ll stay with him. So, you got different combination than me. 5. We got 105. And in my 56, I hit it like 115 and I normally would take off. So this 5 105. You got the 58 there. 58 54. I’m going to hit a soft one of these. Okay. Down. Down. Oh wow. Oh wow. Where did that go? Too much spin. It was nice though. I mean, they’re the same wedges, just different colors, so they felt a little different. The light angle is a little different, but it was fun. There’s so many different ways to play golf out there, folks. One of my favorite ways to play golf is the Mad Scramble Tour. I don’t know if you all have been to an event, but if you haven’t, check it out at randomgolfer.com. 100 players on the same hole at the same time. We host a wild event. Free drinks, free cigars, free gifts, prizes. Check it out. Coming to a town near you if you haven’t been already. That thing hustled. We’re gonna make this. You’re right. No. All right. We’ll still leave and park. There you go. All right. Challenge number one complete. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, I love this one. Barefoot. I I actually was practicing barefoot two days ago back home. Yeah. I’ll do it with you. All right, perfect. M challenge barefoot. What’s the most relaxed round of golf you’ve ever played? And was it about score or something else? It doesn’t need to be a pro event. Okay. This can be any round of golf. Yeah. Know, I hate not playing competitive golf. I I don’t like it. You really hate it. No. I mean, my father always gets me to go and play with him and my brother and all that. And I Yeah, it’s nice. You playing with your brother, with your father. is a good family moment and all that, but if I’m in the golf course, I want to I want to compete. I want to beat someone and you know, it’s it’s not the same way, you know. That’s so funny. Yeah. I mean, I I love the stress. Wo has spikes on his on his feet. Yeah. Yeah, I do. I do have spikes. Dude, you have great golfer feet, you know? They’re wide. Oh, nice. Yeah, I work on it. Do you? Yes. Like this? I do. No, I do exercises kind of like with the toe. You want to flatten your arch, right? Yeah. Yeah. There was no rule of shoes. I would love to play barefoot. I feel like we’re at the beach. Now we’re on the beach. Think it’s fine. I will say like just taking your shoes off, I feel totally different. It feels awesome. Is there any change in the technique when you’re not wearing shoes or No, same thing. Okay. I maybe I’ll I’ll do a little bit smoother because little less grip. Oh, that was the best driver yet. I mean, I’m not putting these things back up on the truck. you said, you know, you don’t really enjoy non-competitive rounds, but at at some point, I guess the question is for me, like at what point did golf stop being a game, you know, after probably two or three years as being a professional, I kind of like start understanding that it’s it’s not just a game, you know, and and I and I want to challenge myself. I want to be the best player in the world. And and for that I felt like there’s a lot of frustration in a way in between and it stop kind of like being a game and just more like a challenge. Whenever I’m playing, I do try to feel like like I’m a kid, you know? I mean, I like hitting shots, feeling like I’m a kid, you know? Don’t worry about anything, you know, just have fun. And I feel like it’s a combination because I got to prepare myself the best I can in a way. And then when I want to just the game to kind of flow. I mean, I feel like I got to have fun and just be be myself, you know? 140 front. Yeah. And the pin was 50. No, 45. 45. Okay. Nice flight. Oh, be the number. Go in. Go in. Almost went either. That was nice. Nice shot, dude. All right. A birdie here would be huge for walk. He’s got 5 and 1/2 ft. He’s got some hard challenges coming up. I have no idea what he’s going to pick on the next hole. Nice birdie. All right. So, Waco’s one under and he’s uh 33% of the way through the challenge. What are you going to pick for the next hole? All right, folks. Once again, I’m skyping in from another location in time. We’re in Denver. We just finished shooting Adventures in Golf here at Rodeo Dunes. I found oneing element left in my bag. If you haven’t had element, first of all, we’re at 4,800 ft right here. Oh, if you find yourself dehydrated, which you can at high altitude, you have to drink these. I usually drink two a day, especially on the golf course when it’s hot. You’re wondering if I’m going to drink the whole thing. If I drink the whole thing, what do they get? They get the free sample pack, right? My favorite flavor, watermelon. But currently, I’m rocking grapefruit. All right, I can do this. It’s going to be kind of cold, but I can do it. I got bra I got bad brain freeze. Thank you, Element, for supporting our films. Go to drinkelement.com/rgc and get a free eight flavor sample pack with any purchase. The fact that it’s good for me is almost a surprise cuz it tastes so good. Headphones. Ooh, headphones. This challenge is you don’t talk on this hole and all you do is listen to music that I play for you. Okay, perfect. You got earphones? I don’t have my phones. There you go. A big part of culture is music. Would you agree? I agree. Yeah. So, growing up in Chile, how much of a role did music play in the years that you spent in in in Santiago? Well, it’s funny. I mean, you know, every time I look back into, you know, my childhood or whatever, I, you know, I have memories of my mom playing, you know, music. She had Shakira and all that kind of stuff like older version of Shakira. obviously like in 2000s. My dad used to listen more a little bit more electronic music, you know, like Rhythm is a dancer, you know, that kind of thing. I got a few songs that I can go back and, you know, have some memories and all that. But I still like it. If I’m on the plane, I’ll put music like a really chill music kind of like a meditation music, you know, like hear rivers or, you know, that kind of stuff like in a way listen to nature on a boat. You’ll literally just listen to the sound of a river. Yeah. I mean, kind of like a like a mix. Yeah. I mean, go a little that way. Yes. So, what we’re going to start with is a thing called binaural beats, which is essentially two different frequencies played in each ear. You got it. Perfect. Okay. He loves it. [Music] Fire. [Music] He can’t. [Music] Okay. You think we can get him to dance right now? Let’s see. [Music] I love it. I love this. [Music] This is the coolest thing I’ve This is so cool. It’s unreal to be doing this with a tour player who was top 10 in a major like nine days ago. Par three. Waka wasn’t able to talk to his caddy. I think he was trying to take a juice of seven or something and he’s like long and you know, you really realize the value of communication. All right, I’m going to switch the song to an oldie song here. Let’s see. See what he thinks of us. I just love oldies. I love anything soul, reggae, blues, jazz, you know, big into vinyl. Music’s a big part of my life. And so it’s cool, you know, that clearly it is for him, too. Yeah, it’s a big smiling. [Music] I mean I they gave me the re. [Music] This is so cool. I love this. Well, also like there is a fantasy of mine where like truly I would love to be a DJ. Not like at nightclubs but like at All right. Ready? Here we go. And 3 2 1. Bam. Oh yeah, [Music] you’re a good DJ. Yeah, thank you, sir. I appreciate it. That was pretty good. That was fun. I like the the the change from the the first song to the Shakira. I was like right on the Tox. Is that Did that mess up your shot, you think? I mean, I hit a beautiful shot. Yeah, I think one of the best swings from the wig so far. I don’t like using headphone two headphones because you don’t you don’t quite listen the the impact or you know Right. Right. But it was it was cool. Good experience. All right. So we have a par five coming up. So this is a long hole. You’re one under. Time for the fourth challenge here. I have no idea what you’re going to pick. Going to go underneath now. Oh my god. Blindfold. Are you into it? Yeah, I’m into it. Have you ever tried to play golf with a blindfold? Yeah, we we’ve done it before. Here’s the goal though. We have to wear the blindfold the entire hole. Have you ever felt lost in golf mentally or emotionally? Yeah. Remember my first tournament of as a pro was San Antonio. And and I I remember I was pretty nervous in the pro. And I feel that was great because I started talking to myself, all right, let’s see what’s the difference here between being a pro and being an amateur. And I find out that it’s the same thing. You know, you’re still hitting the same ball. You’re still the same person. You got the same arms, same legs, same I mean everything is the same. So it’s like what’s new here? You know, it was just a thought that that you know just put me nervous in a way. So it felt weird but it felt kind of nice. I mean you know you get to start playing for money. It was fun. You can buy your own stuff. You know it was cool. Ask permission for anything. You can buy your own stuff. What was the first purchase that you were really proud of? I mean I I started paying for my own apartment since the first week. So it was I felt that was pretty cool. I bought a PS4 also with a TV and a couch at the start and my bed and simple life, you know, learning more. I love that. When I hit, can I set up and then close it? I’ll set you up. So, I mean, you you tell me what you want to do, but the but the experience that I had, I played with a blind golfer and they have a caddy that lines you up, puts the club up, and then you just I tell you where you’re going and then I walk with you and I make sure you’re safe. It’s one of the craziest experiences in your life because you realize sound is all you have. Don’t lug. Do you want me to talk you through it? Uh, you’ll be a little right. Left here. We’ll give you my driver. That’s great. His the driver is going to be his walking stick. Well, I thought we were watching there. Am I on the fairway or on the rough? I think you’re in the rough. What is this? Car path. Car path. It’s crazy, right? I’m on the fairway. Not my ball. We’re just going to walk under this rope here. Give me a second here. You’re good there. I’m that far left. Yeah. And then you’re going to take a right with me here. I don’t want to be over overly touchy feely with you, but technically speaking, you’re about to get to your ball here. You want to uh you want to come down and touch the lie? There’s your ball. right here. Okay. I’m going that way, right? Yeah. Okay. Here’s your radar. And you have an indicator grip, right? I got it. We Yeah. Okay. You got it. Okay. Cool. Put me on the ball. Yeah. You’re not aimed correctly to aim correctly. Where do you want him to be aimed? Just split the bunker in the tree. A little bit further left. Left. Okay. Like on the line of the tree kind of. Thank god. Good. You’re good. Everyone’s clear. You can swing. Let’s shank it. The ball came out. I shanked it. Yeah. Here. Hang on. There’s a rope. Okay, I got it for you. Okay, cool. Ah, that was close. I’m going to bring you down to the lie here. That’s okay. Ready? That’s the lie. It’s a little thick. Perfect. You’re going to need to move. I’m ready. You’re going to need to move the center of that tree. Yeah, that’s that’s it right there. You’re just right of the TV tower right there. And I’m clear. currently imagining myself that I have a golf cup right there. That was nice. It’s good. A little heavy, but good. Yeah, you’re good. You’re good. We’re safe. I got to imagine myself that I’m looking at a wedge, right? I got to imagine myself kind of like the light, like if I can see, you know? Yeah, exactly. So, you’re visualizing it. Yeah. I like to picture myself like what kind of t-shirt I want to hit. So, I probably go back to my house this afternoon and kind of see the whole how it looks, what kind of shot I want to see kind of like what I’m feeling on the swing and with the driver. So, I kind of like feel more comfortable whenever I get here tomorrow, you know? Right. I got a decent idea of this hole, but not quite, you know? So, Okay, cool. And the ball right there. Do you want a little bit outside of the center of the club? Yeah. Oh, that’s perfect. Okay. I can hit a little over. I’m on an uphill. Yeah. You want to uphill right to left 100 yards downwind. Oh wow. What a shot. That feeling was amazing. Are you kidding me? It finished 5T right of the hole. Might have been too hot. Yeah, too hard. Insane, dude. I felt this so nice. I feel the f I feel the diva like you’re able to feel a little more, right? Yeah, it’s pretty cool. Describe that. Tell me more about that because you hit what is a basic shot. You would have been upset with that without a blindfold because you hit a wall. I wasn’t thinking. I just I was just thinking about the impact and that was beautiful. Opens up more of your other feelings, you know, like trusting where you are and then trust the movements that you’re doing, whatever you’re working on. It’s pretty cool. I mean, I like this exercise. Can you stand there? Oh, yeah. Good idea. Say hello. Okay. Where to land it? Wow, that’s interesting. Yeah, big guy. Yeah. Where? Yeah. Okay. It came out a bit lower than you wanted. And it landed at the pin and it’s rolling uh off the front edge. Yeah. It’s not easy, eh? No. Just have to hit it. Get up that slow. It’s pretty good. It’s It’s turning into the hole. It got up the hill and it just stopped. It’s about 8 ft short. Perfect. He’s like a a whale, you know? It’s like sonar. Ace feed 15 little up. Little up. Go. Oh, wow. That’s a good putt. That’s a good putt. Oh, it’s just a little low. Full feet. Just pass. I hit it. Yeah, that was good. You want to get it out of the hole or you want me to? Come on. It’s bright out here. So, I was I was there. Yeah. You were over the green there and then I hit it there. Y That was nice. That’s cool, man. You did great, dude. So cool that he did it like for real, you know? And when he took the blindfold off, you know? It was clear like he was just like, “Wow.” Like, and I’ll bet this hole will look different to him the next one. Now that the hardest challenge is over, the blind challenge, we have the easy ones now. Yeah. Now there’s just two. Very easy. Two left. Scramble. Scramble. Perfect. So, me and you scramble. What are the chances you think like realistically that we use one of my shots in a scramble with you and I? And maybe the driver might be yours cuz you’re like 80 yards farther down when you play with amateurs, right? Uh what’s the what’s the most common kind of like example of craziness that you see where you’re like, “Oh, wow.” I feel like the way they talk to themsel is just terrible. You know, I feel like whenever they have a shot, they’re like, “Ah, they’re, you know, it’s like, ah, here we go again. Whenever I hit the shank here, or I’m I’m gonna hit a really bad shot right now.” Or, you know, they start programming their yourself already. You know, it’s it’s easy to remember the bad stuff somehow. I don’t know what why we do that. I mean, it happens to me a lot. You go to a golf tournament that you already been before and and you remember certain really bad shots on that hole and it keeps coming to your mind. keeps coming to your mind and I feel like it’s a muscle that you got to practice to try to focus on the stuff that you want to focus and not on the stuff that you don’t want to focus, you know. Wow, that’s big. Go. All right, we got one in the fairway. So, nice ball out of 10. How well was that hit? That was 10. That was 10. Yeah, that was good. Yeah, I’ll take it. Nice. Yeah, that’s perfect. Just want to take a not so brief moment to say thank you to Ping for everything that we’ve been able to do together. Whether it’s making videos like this, whether it’s the thank you Carson film that’s, you know, on YouTube right now, people are really inspired and kind of, you know, heartwormed by the story of the founding of such an incredible golf equipment company. In my opinion, Ping is the coolest not only partner we’ve ever had the chance to collaborate with, but equipment company that I’ve ever swung. You know, Ping I2 are the first irons I ever had in my life. And here we are later with some blueprint S’s walking around with Minne. So, big thank you to everyone at Ping. Everybody, you know who you are. Thanks, partner. Thank you, sir. Not so great. Somebody Oh, little heavy work. Could be fine. All right. What did you hit there? I got six there. Okay. A little little heavy. It’s hard on that ups slope for me. Up slope. Yeah. Yeah. When you start playing golf. I was 29. 29. So 15 years ago. Nice. Yeah. You got it pretty quick then in a way. Yeah. I mean it’s funny actually. I think after I was like 4 years in, I haven’t gotten any better. Really? The last 11 years it’s like I just pretty consistent since then. Yeah. Well, I think also it’s like in the beginning I really wanted to be good at golf and I think now I just love the game. Yeah. So, we do a thing called the mad scramble. I heard of it. 100 guys. Yeah. Yeah. 100 guys on the same hole. How long it takes to play one hole? It takes to play nine holes. It takes like under three hours. But there’s music, there’s drinks. And we basically shoot like 14 under through nine. You put probably got to place it around here. Okay. Yeah, I like it around here. Okay. Yeah, maybe a little more. More? Yeah. Go more. Higher. All right. You’re right. Yeah, it was a little higher. Yeah. Good read, man. No. God had a good look at the start. Same pad. Nice. Okay. Easy. I don’t need to put it. Well done. You were seven when your dad gave you plastic clubs. Do you remember falling in love with golf? And do you remember when you realized you might be great? I remember having a golf club. It was a Yeah, like a seven iron or eight iron. We live outside the city, so we have a big yard and I was carrying my club everywhere and hitting the ball, chasing it, hitting it, chasing it all the time. I love that. And I felt like I was never good enough. And that in a way kind of like motivate me to kind of work harder. Where is the last challenge? All right. Ready? We don’t even need to have Where’s the bag? The fish bag. Junior club. You got a junior club? Yes. Oh, you have? We have a You want to bring it out? I want to see it. It’s actually the perfect club. I love it. I love it. It’s actually my club. Yes. It’s the same length as the club that you had when you were seven. That was a lot smaller now. All right, we’re going to try to hit it then. Cool. What a cool finishing need I mean an ace would be even even par. That would be cool. How many do you have? Aces. Yeah, probably five. Not sure. Not sure. Tournament I done three. Okay. Then out of tournament probably two or three more. Okay. My first one was a was a slam dangon 17 at at uh Las Vegas DBC Summerland. Oh wow. Went straight in. What happened? It went too low. Who? Got to hit it high. Go in. Did that come back or No. You going to hit the small kit? I mean the the I’ll hit the I’ll hit the five iron. All right. I don’t know where should I hit from. Should I hit from here maybe? Oh wow. It’s so light. Aim farther left and put it closer to your left left foot up front. Yeah. There you go. It’s going to cut. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Not bad. Not terrible. Good distance. Oh, it’s going to be pretty fast. Pretty straight though. Oh, I like it. I like it. Ah, good. Good part. Didn’t hit it two over overall after the two over every challenge. Honestly, really good. I mean, the blind one was really tough. It was a tough hole, too. Yeah, that was good. Thank you, man. Thank you. Thank you. We’ll see you. See you next time. I think you [Music] can’t make some I think about you.
