I take on the LONGEST golf course in the world (insane challenge)

I take on the LONGEST golf course in the world (insane challenge)

Today we take on a 20,000yard course and trace the footsteps of one of this game’s legends. We are going to be walking through history. We are going to be taking on the Hagen 54. So standing here on the coast of Kent in England and it is home to three of the best links courses in the world. We have Prince’s Golf Club, we have Royal St. George’s Golf Club and then a little bit further down we have Royal St. Ports. Now in 1920, Walter Hagen, absolute legend of the game, was playing in the open championship at Royal Sync Port all the way down there. Now him and Jim Barnes, another legendary figure of the game, played 11 holes at Royal Stink Ports and then had a look over the fence and thought, “Oh my word, what is that over there? Could that be Prtel, another golf course?” And they hopped over the fence onto Royal St. George’s and carried on playing. And then when they got to the back end of Royal St. Georges, they saw princes hopped over the fence and came to play here as well. And it was at that point that they reached here, the end of princes, the end of the golf course. They turn around and then they went back completing a 54hole loop of these three magnificent courses. Now, to help you understand where we’re at on the golf course, because it’s a shotgun start and we’re starting at Roll St George’s, we have made an interactive map. So let’s have a look at that and let’s have a look at some of the goals that we are chasing during this epic video. We’re actually going to be scoring these 54 holes in stableford. So we are looking for 100 points or more for a gold medal. That works out at eight over 90 to 100 points for silver and 80 to 90 for a bronze medal. Anything less than that and we get nothing. I’m hoping to hit 40 out of 54 greens in regulation. And in each of the three courses, we’ve picked out historic scores. So at Roll Stports, Walter Hagen had a 74 in the 1920 Open. At Roll St George’s, Walter Hagen had a 72 in 1922 where he won. And here at Prince’s, Jean Saren shot a 69 in 1932 where he went on to win his open. But we’ve added in a twist. I’ve decided it would be a good idea to make it really, really, really difficult for myself. And we got a lovely surprise which is in keeping with the 1920 open. The key is I’ve just got to build up a big solid score before I hit princes because if I don’t I’m in trouble. I’m in trouble. I’m in trouble. And the sunes. Oh, I was told I was cing for you. Oh, amazing. Oh, well, I should have brought a heavier bag. This is Steve. He’s cadding for me today. I didn’t know this is a lovely surprise. I thought I was lugging my own bag all the way. Off we go down the left. Okay, Steve, I reckon we might actually shoot 59 59 59. Interesting story. When Walter Hagen played at the Open Championship in 1920 over at St. Paul, this was still a time where many professionals were not allowed inside golf clubouses. It was seen as uncou. So what Walter Hagen did when he was barred entry to the clubhouse is hire a massive car, put it in the car park and use it as a mobile changing room, stocking it with everything a professional golfer could need. He was also a showman and whilst he was feasting and preparing for the open championship with caviar and champagne. I’m preparing with Hule. So I want to say a huge thank you to Hule for sponsoring this video. I’ve been using their products now for a good few months. Certainly as I’ve been going through my competitive golf and now it is going to form a key part of my new fitness regimen which I will be undertaking. I’ve mostly been using the black edition powder. It’s very easy to prepare. only takes 30 seconds and it holds everything that I need from the vitamins to the minerals to the protein to get me through the day. It saves me time during the day so I don’t have to stop and prepare meals and it’s a great thing to have out on the course.

Cheers. 239 then. I mean, it’s a nice hybrid normally. Hey, that’s two shots that have gone straight up in the air. So, I think that’s good. So, we’re in the middle here. So, we got Princes there, Royal St. George’s, and then Royal St. Paul’s. And I’ve always like literally looked over the fence here and been like, “Oh, I was desperate to play. It has such history and obviously an amazing pedigree.” But if I’m going to be completely honest with you, it’s just stuff like this, like a little storm shell. Look, it’s got a little hat on. It doesn’t take a lot to make me happy. Right. How good opening bird are. Hey, just keep putting those piles on the board, I think. Yeah. [Music] Talk to me. Say yeah, just straight down between the two bunkers. So, between the bunkers on the right and on the left, just hit it down the middle. I like this course already. It’s not too complicated. Yeah, it gets worse. Just to the right of the bunker. Rough’s not too thick around there, is it? Stay No, there are clumps, but we should be okay. So, what hole are we on here? Technically, 39. Oh, wow. Yeah, look at those three bunkers. Jeez, there’s something to get over them. And what was the pin? Sorry. 148. We got a bank on the left. So it’s left to right. It’s left of the pin’s kind of favored. Okay. Bunker. Bunker. Anytime that ball disappears around here, I think we’ve got a a relatively good guess at where it’s ended up. Bunker. Second bunker of the day. shot. Jeez. Almost just missed it. [Music] This pencil might be at the end of its nib by the time we finished. The end of it wood right down to the rubber. Clear the bunkers. 140 to clear the bunkers. This course just looks unbelievable. Yeah, good shot. Solid. Very professional. This is great. I’m like swinging with just freedom, not thinking about anything technically. The way the golf should be played, you know, it’s good to be back in touch with the roots of the game. It’s one of the best things about coming to courses like this. They have such history and draws back so many memories. I was playing in a junior open at Morham Golf Club. I remember it pretty vividly and it was on the Sunday of the Open at Roy St. George’s where Thomas Bejorn it was it was his tournament. It was his major to win and then he had his John Vandervel moment where on this green he left it in the bunker to the right hand side. He didn’t get it out rolled back to his feet and he ended up losing to Ben Curtis and we all came in after the junior comp and all the dads were watching it. This was back in the day. Your manly pits of mild, six of them then drive home and they were all watching the golf and oh yeah, Ben Curtis looks like he’s going to win. They were all like Ben Curtis. He was like Ben Curtis and then like the next or the previous was Todd Hamilton. There a bit of a weird run of opens and then the last time I was played here calling him more a cow one and then before that Darren Clark. Good chat to Darren at the open actually. He was on good form. Lives in the Bahamas now. Yeah. Yeah. just got to the just got to like the top of that slope there and just rolled all the way back. Now Mike is going to show us how it’s done. There you go. Shot. That’s all he needed to do. [Music] Prody. [Music] Another one. We’re going for 18 in a row. And then another 18. Another 18. [Music] You want to be aiming at the um the bunkers, the green side bunkers, right? Think just like a little cut back into slight breeze. Yeah. Hold it against it. Space is on the right rather than the left. Space is on the right rather than the left. Okay. Yeah, good one. Yes. So, the bunkers, green side bunkers on the right, just in the semi on the right. Actually struck it too well. How far do we have, Steven? 98. Get up. Of course, my old friend, the false front just impossible. False fronts are impossible. Needed a whack this morning. Work to do to keep the past streak alive. We carry on. It continues four in a row. [Music] How far we got? So the um bunker on the right, the fairway bunker right is 290. 290. Maybe mini driver at that then I guess keep it on the fairway. Yeah. You sure? Thank you. Just what me and Steve do. Just turn up. Excellent. Whatever you want me to do. Okay. You just point me in the right direction. bit safe. But Sandy’s hollow. Sandy’s hollow. Sandy Lyle chipped out of there to Well, he didn’t chip out there to win the championship. He didn’t. Well, he did it first time. He got it wrong and he was on his hands and knees. Oh. Then he got it a second time. Oh, almost. You know, you meant to be telling me happy stories this morning, too. I I didn’t remember that. I wasn’t around. You could have been like, “Oh, Sandy’s hollow.” Yeah, he chipped in from there. That’ll give me a boost of confidence. He won the open. He did win the open. Liar. Oh, wow. Look at that. Just a ride around the edge of this little canyon up onto the top. No. See like the jewel on them this morning. Just needs a bit more of a bit more of a whack. Did it so hard. [Music] Oh man, a bogey. The pass rinks over steam. What’s the point in carrying on? It’s almost breakfast. And that is breakfast. [Music] The bunker’s 317. That bunker in the middle. All right. Okay. But you want to be left of that. Okay. Kind of between the tree and the top do that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There’s a slight dog leg. Yeah. Yeah. So, we’ve now moved on to the first of uh Roy St. George’s, which is the 43rd hole. I think Mick’s edit in this one. So, he’s going to have to do an amazing job with the map. He’s going have to make it like interactive on YouTube. Cheers. Good hit. Okay. 65 to clear the bunkers. 65 to clear the bunkers. 85 to the pin. Okay. Yeah. Sat down a bit. So, I’m just going to play as like a big bunker shot with a pitch in my nandy. Just a bit too much. Just need to remember what a big big boy I am. We’re moving a bit of sand this morning today. Got to get it out. There’s a slope that’ll take it down towards the pen. Ah, wow. came out really well. A little bit not as heavy as some of the others though. Come on. 100 points. Got to get over. Not I don’t think we not quite broke into double figures yet. I think we’re on nine now. Really? Come on. Get this potter going. Too far. I’ve let Hagen down. I let Jim Barnes down for the whole the 1920s down. Really does mark a milestone though. It’s 10 points. So, we are one tenth of the way there to the 100. Just got to keep those goals in sight. [Music] two bunkers here. You can see you can just see kind of the outline of the second one on the left on the left edge of it. Right over that corner. Yeah, right over that corner. Yeah. Yeah, this is going to be just a chop at a hope. safe house. Some thick stuff, huh? Hit the bowl. Hit the bowl. H on the bogey train. Need to get off. Need to get off the birdie express. [Music] Okay. 179 to the pin. Little bit little bit of wind behind. It’s that only tree on the course. Is that right? Don’t do what DJ did in the 2011. Oh, of course. Yeah. Yeah. I remembered. Right. 179 this time. Start some greens in regulation again. You can take a bounce off that right. Got to fall back in. Yeah. Whoa. Whoa. Oh, it’s a green regulation, but it’s a a fun put. God. I unfortunately struck that unbelievable bl. [Music] I thought we were I thought we were so back for a moment there. Right. Back on the par train. That’s a two-pointer. Let’s keep it going cuz 100 points. Does that work? I think it works out as eight over overall over everything. It’s still doable. But come come on. I need some birdies before in [Music] [Applause] [Music] this. A slight dog leg left. Oh wow. How’s that for a hole? Lovely. Holy moly. So, you see the two chimneys in front of us. Yeah. And you got the tree just to the right. Yeah. Aim for that tree. Yeah. Thank you. as a hint of what’s going to be happening later on. I am going to miss my beloved mini driver and all my titleless clubs. I wouldn’t want to be here, right? 133 to the pin, but it’s got to be landed short cuz it all kicks on. Yeah. All kicks. Yeah. It’s big left to right on here. So, you’re you’re aiming as far left as the white second white chimney. Yes. That’s kind of the edge of the green. Okay. it up. Oh man, just came out a bit almost came out too well. But there’s a bit more of a bit more of a flyer. How does how does a mower even cope with that? Like that is Wow. Well, wish me luck, I guess. bad. It’s kind of tricky. That’s a very steep uphill and actually onto the down slope. So, [Music] how’s that stay straight? [Music] Oh, no. Don’t do one pointer. I mean, we’re keeping the disasters off the scorecard, so that’s a bonus. Oh, man. Another five for one. Right, this is the last hole on Royal St. George’s before we hop over onto Roll Sync Ports and then we play what is it? I think it’s what do we say it was like 11 or 12 till 18 and then we loop back around and do the the rest of rolling ports. Then we’re back over Royal St. George’s then over to Princes. Man, Mick, I want this map to be so clear. So, the pins over, you look at the the mound over there, that flat flat top mound. Yeah. Pins just behind that generally play down to the towards the red, white, and blue sign. Yeah. And you got 250 before you run out of fairway. Right. Okay. Yeah, that’s good. I’m kind of digging this. No practice swing in five. How was your round today? Not bad. Two and a half hours. So, that’s your underpin. Amazing. Quite lucky just watching all these rain showers just pass the side of us. pretty good. Does the Sam just give me a thumbs up? Yeah, good shot. Wow. Always looks really inviting when the hole is like painted white. So, looks so much bigger like a bucket. No, you got to hit it. Got to hit it. What a line. Yeah, he’s run out of speed so fast. Good power that I suppose. But okay, that was the last hole here on Royal St. George’s until we come back in 18 halves time. And now onto literally one of my favorite courses in the world, Royal St. Ports. So what Walter Hagen did is he started at S ports and he jumped fences. Now because with the order we’re doing it in because of the shot and start, we’re not jumping the fence to S ports. We’re jumping in a cab and we’re doing it the modern way. And you know what? I think Mr. Hagen would have approved. [Music] [Applause] [Music] 16 points so far. 16 points so far. And we’re at Sig Tours. I love this golf course. Um, now this is the 12th on Sing Ports with the 48th hole overall. You can tell we switch over from the red to the blue. Now, the last time I played Sing Ports, I caught Fuego. I’m hoping to do the same. Okay, let’s go again then, gentlemen, shall we? New course, new challenge. [Music] Oh, no. Don’t go there. The one place you don’t want to go. [Music] Landed just short on. [Music] How’s it gone that way? [Music] Do it. Oh, I thought we might have two eagles in two days, though. [Music] [Applause] Son of a gun. [Applause] [Music] What’s the one thing we don’t do? What’s the one thing we don’t do, Steve? Leave an eagle put short. And this is um the 54th hole. So, this would be the final hole if you started on the first. Of course, we are not finished yet. We’ll go straight at it. It’s just kind of left of that green. Left. Yeah, it felt gray, but I don’t think it’s going to be 400 y. Great. Taking a drop. 64. Jeez, just how I planned it out. Just straight down the slope. That’s that. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 16 18. So I’m level half of that. Last night I did quite well for now. Whole one. So 300 to the ditch. I’m just going to poke a four iron down there. Goes against my better nature, but still be done every now and again. [Music] [Applause] [Music] It’s a huge moment in the day. We have just gone past the 18 hole mark. [Music] 36 to go. [Music] Yep. [Music] Now we’re just hoping for might get a kick. Yeah, just hoping for a kick and it to funnel down. Sorry. About 4 foot. [Music] Hey. Hey. Skills. Wow. What a sign to be alive. [Music] I I honestly don’t think that that bogey is in any doubt. I I feel I was in fully in control of my own destiny at all times on that hole. [Music] [Music] Uh, right. [Music] [Music] Oh yeah, he’s so screwed. [Music] Time is [Music] Oh wow. [Music] Okay, massive news here. Stop the presses. We are officially halfway through. We’re keeping our head above water. Like we’re doing okay. [Music] Right. [Music] That was fat. [Music] Yes. Deserves a fist bump. Well, that’s it. Royal Sing Ports, you’ve been a big one. Absolutely amazing. Kind of sad to sad to leave. Uh if you’ve not actually seen the individual video from here where plays some really good golf as well, please make sure you check it out. If you ever get the chance to come here and play, please do. It’s just pure links and it’s beautiful. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Switched back over. We are now at Royal St. George’s. Just a magnificent golf course. Little par three here. Just going to feed in a wedge. Slightly downwind actually, isn’t it? Yeah, good shot. Cheers. Tell you what, that was a really good strike actually. Oh, you swine. That’s it. To everyone at home, thank you guys. If you’re enjoying these videos, by the way, make sure you do subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already. Be great to get to 800,000 subscribers by the end of the year. So, don’t be shy. It’s free. And the videos are, I’d say, at least above average. Oh, wow. Look at that. Okay, par five. It’s a dog leg left. We want to be aiming it just down this left hand path. The edge kind of just slightly inside the edge of the left hand path. Yeah, there’s another hole there. It’s that far right. Uh, miss left on this green, I guess. As long as it’s not left at the back. There’s a bunker there. Wow. I mean, it’s a it’s a right to left green. You kind of want to bring it over that bunker on the crease bunker on the right. That’s a sneak through. Yeah, I think that’s good. Should be okay. I told you I am I am a horse. Okay. Yeah, you are the jockey. Fair enough. All right. I’m not like Red Rum or Secretary. I’m more like a cart horse. So, you got to be patient with me. But we’ll get there. You get me pointed in the right direction. You can’t stop me. It broke that much. Annoying. It’s okay. Still a par. But me and these uh I’m not sure I’ve had a birdie on par five yet. [Music] Oh, so you got a run out like we’re a little bit forward here, aren’t we? So, we’re a little bit forward. Yeah. 70 maybe on the run out. Yeah, let’s go with that. A little hybrid then, I guess. Uh line. Your line is um you want to be center to the left of the fairway. Okay. You see those three trees kind of sticking up in the distance? Yeah. You want to be landing there on them. Okay, that sounds good. Thank you. Little fade back into it. No need for a practice swing. You just set up and you hit the shot little bit right, but as I start to swing slower, I start to get more uh more towy. 132 to the pin. 132 into off the right. Yeah. Okay, 132. A little into off the right. Just going a normal shot here. Just let the wind bring you back. Not going to fight it. Oh, he’s tugged it. Soft bounce. Stay there. It’s okay. Ah, false front. like a false front that’s not actually even in play. And I found it. Oh man, I hit some good lines today. Come on, James. Drains it. Wow. Wow. We got that one as well. Guessing. [Music] Birdie. Finally. Well done. We are back. [Music] All right. Over the left hand side with the driver. [Music] Got the slices [Music] just straight into, isn’t it? So, it’s like on top of a plant. 100 yards into little chippy one. Whoa. Ouchie. God, that absolutely flew. Oh no. Oh, we are absolutely screwed. Just bump it into there. Let’s pop it up. That one. [Music] Oh, wasn’t very confident on that one. Weak weak hole. Just like that, all comes crashing down in a burning flaming inferno like the Gulf Hindenburg. [Music] Bit bit much. Yeah, bit much. [Music] I like a nice thatch. Look at that. You think we’re allowed to touch it? I like a bit of thatch. I do like a bit of thatch. What actually is thatch? This is one where we don’t want to go long, isn’t it? Right. All right, left. All right or left. Don’t go long. Don’t go right and do not go left. Just be the Just go in the hole. Ah. Oh no. 40 yards. Little lob wedge here. I’m just going to hit it right into the middle of the green. Get it releasing up. That was so falling asleep on the job. Go straight up this slide. Wow. Oh, this could be messy. Messy messy messy messy. [Music] Wow. The bogey from hell. That wasn’t good. But we’re staying positive cuz that’s frankly that’s all we can do. Well, did I feel a drop of H2O in the air? Oh no, there’s a storm brewing. [Music] Bit of wind. I think that wind’s Yeah, I think it’s hurting a little bit as it’s coming across on there. Right. So, green wind left to right. 205 spots of rain. All right, just a nice little control for it. Got wind. No, no, no. Yep. Just got to just pretty much get this on the green. Let it roll out. Don’t be short. God, I hit that well. [Music] Yeah. Cheers. Thank you. Hey, we’ll back you. We’ll back you. [Music] Oh, there. Ah, got you. Sorry. Maybe a thicker. So, kind of let a mini drive to make sure we cover them and then some to finish them. So, at the hut with a touch of fade. Yeah, it’s 218 to get over the ridge and then you only want another 30 40 yards. No. Well, it’s going to be slightly longer in from there, isn’t it? Only two holes left at all St. George’s. I want to try and come back and play it as a a full 18 cuz obviously mixing up different holes and like different courses, you kind of get a little bit lost and you don’t quite get a full feel and a a sense of what the golf course truly is. I guess what I’m trying to angle at is an invite back to Royal St. George so we can come film a full full 18 course vlog. I think that’d be acceptable. 101. Yeah, that’s not including wind. Yeah. Come out with back. Yeah. Little kick there. Yeah. A little slip, isn’t there? [Applause] Everybody hide. Come on everyone into the cone of protection. [Music] We’re aiming for the bush. Yeah, I a [Music] 192 to the back. Okay. Wonderful. Thank you. [Music] Good job. [Music] [Applause] Off. [Music] Not bad. Not bad. Finally, and that’s uh that’s Roy St. George’s uh completed. Thanks for coming. Here we are. Hole number 20. Uh but this is our final harrah. We have crossed over to Prince’s Golf Club. And man, the weather has turned. As you can see, I’ve had a quick change of clothing, but this is not the only change of clothing you’re going to witness if you remember all the way back to the intro. Right. What have we What have we got here, bud? Okay, so 378 to the pin. That’s it up there on the left. Elevated. This first bunker is 231. So, you want to be beyond these two bunkers. Okay. Holy sh I don’t know what happened there. Don’t panic anybody. I’m going to take a pitching wedge and I’m going to swing at it like an absolute psychopath. No. And we carry on. Yeah. Good shot. Could have been a dart channel. Yeah, you’re holding so many things in so few hands. That’s like watching an octopus at work. All right. Well, that’s a it’s a bogey. I mean, I was a bit worried about that. I didn’t want to cuz we’ve not had a a blob yet, which is pretty good if you think about it. We fell into the ocean once again. This time against our wind 331 car five. All right. 331. Wow. Massive. That’ll do. I mean, it’s definitely no less than a mini driver away. So, we just clip one of these away. Yeah. Yeah. It’s always a layoutless. It’s uh it’s what? 82. Okay. Into the wind. He’s here. Into the wind. Good shot. Cheers. Thank you. Born for the rain. Me. I was actually born in a rainstorm. Should push it 6 million yards, right? [Music] I’ve been waiting such a long time for you to left. It’s just at the end kind of at the end of the building today. I’d be down the left hand side. I wouldn’t I wouldn’t take on the Okay, cool. The uh shore. So, there’s three loops of nine here. We’re going to go on to the Himalayas after this with what can only describe as the hardest challenge in golf coming your way. It’s going to be funny whatever happens. Hell, I actually bounced in there. Jeez, did not need that 50 mph gust up my ass then. And that’s just come from. In all fairness, I don’t mind that cuz it might blow some of this crap through, but not ideal, was it? Snap up chop. Grip tight. Lie is not great. Stay left there longer. 150. [Applause] Keep walking. Good job. Yeah. Thank you. It’s a fight. It’s a battle now. We’re in the We’re in the deepest, darkest days of golf. Oh god. And it’s going to get worse for me anyway. Oh, what have I done? What have I done? Three footers have been unbelievable. I’m going to really really regret this. Gentlemen, I’m going to pop in the clubhouse for just a moment and when I return, you will not recognize me because tonight I am being Walter Hagen. So ready, baby. There we go. I love golf. It’s the best. Okay, ladies and gents, here I am. I am now Walter Hagen. My beautiful titleless clubs have been taken away from me. I’m in the garb. I’ve got my hickories. So, I’m keeping my foot joy rain glove on. I don’t want to lose any of these. Okay, just I think just play it out towards the um the bunker on the left. Okay, here we go. Whatever happens, boys. Let’s enjoy. Final stretch. Well, there’s an absolute cracker. Let’s Let’s have it. Let’s have it. Scorecard’s wet. My ass is wet. Everything’s wet. And I’m wearing tweed in a rainstorm. This is going to be an utter and absolute disaster. I believe this is yours, sir. I’m gonna get out my 1920s umbrella. And we are going to have an incredible time. Let’s go. This is going to be a challenge, isn’t it? Yeah. Good bag. How far do you hit your spoon? You know what? I’m not sure. 138 into the winds. So, I’m playing about 160. 160. You know what that calls for? I think that calls for a bit of a mashy, don’t you? Just imagine this goes in. [Music] Get a little bit carried away. All right. Get a little bit excited. I am Malthagen. He lives within me. You know what? I’m just going to keep my glove on. I’m going to proper rock it. Why? Why take it off? [Music] I will now be known as Walter. Mike, what’s my name? Walter Hagen. James, what’s my name? Steve, what’s my name? Mr. Walter Hagen. Nice to have you along with the ride, folks. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Well, what a start that was. What a start that was. I mean, thankfully, unlike Walter, I’m still using Provs, so got bit of advantage. Yep, it’s good. I don’t think I’d be uh about to say sit down. A W Williamson special get left. Hopefully it’s not reached that bunker. I want to try and avoid bunkers at all costs with these. I think um in a waste area. Let’s fall back. Sit down. I think it hit the storing. Okay, reality bites. I think I could open this up. All right, we got to give it a go. Not much bounce on this. Just this is the most ridiculous thing. This is so silly. Uhoh. Well, two pters. [Music] Little bit of right to left at the end. All right then. Good putt. All right. Birdie bogey. Oh, damn. Right, par four, 294 yards. Just a nice two pot bunkers. Nice smoothie. It look good. Might be on the green. It’s one over that bunker. I’ve not just driven a green with this. I I don’t believe you. To the left of that. I don’t believe you. Impossible. It’s impossible. Need to I might need to get these in the tour office to be checked. No, it’s not. It can’t be on the green. I was getting a little bit excited. It’s on the grave. Okay, just fine. Yeah, easy. What is happening? I am Walter Hagen. Well, reading stying me up, mate. Is this what we’re going to do now? Is this how we’re playing the game? Quite a lot of loft on it. This like a like an early chipper. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Birdie Bergie Birdie. Stand the star for [Music] 335 y. This one is a little bit out of range just because it’s into wind, but otherwise, you know, we’d be we’d be going for it. Carry it. I think it’s got over. Yeah, it’s quite a strange sensation because the the hickory shafts themselves are soft. So, everything’s quite a soft feeling. So, I think I’m just swinging it like super soft and slow and that’s translating into straight golf shots. Who knew? Who knew? Swinging smooth and finding the middle of the club face works. Yeah, good shot. Cheers. Ready to make it. Thank you. What What are we doing? What What life are we living here? What’s happening? Thank you, sir. It’s just a standard tube. [Music] [Applause] This uh scorecard’s getting a little bit soggy. 118 to the pin, 120 to the back. I think it’s probably a little mashy nib again, you know. Just a more of a control mashy nib. Like a chippy mashy nibck. Hold my beer. Ah, the easiest shot I’ve had so far. Yanked it. I yanked the mashy niblick. Yeah, like a something a little bit more lofted just so it kind of jumps up there. I’m using a uh That’s it. Bit too aggressive. Must be a quick grain this one. Harder. Oh, bogey. What a shame. That’s not a pencil. [Music] Right. Par five. Straight down the middle. straight at the pen. Kick right. And we did a little be all right. Just got a feel this is how maybe 17th century women felt in Venice. Right. So it all kind of comes left to right here, doesn’t it? Yeah, it does. Yeah. Yeah. All that. Left to right. Keep going there. got away with it. I’m going spoon it, mate. I’ll spoon it. 76. 76. So, we’re going to nibble lick this to about 70 and let it go down the slope. Run down. Yep. Soft bounce. Only just over. It didn’t really come off with the same type of spin as me. Vokei. I don’t know why. Another par on a par five. All right. All right. Still got to remain level. Fighting fighting for that silver medal. Gold might be out of reach now, but the silver can still do it. Can still do it. [Music] 136. Yeah. Mashi nibble. Mashi nib. Yeah. Even with hickories, I find a false front. Just carried on the wind a bit. I think clubwise that was good. I just eased it. Too bad. [Music] Damn. Oh, that’s disappointing. Makes perfect sense to me. [Music] Lols. Right. So, I’m going to do a little draw here. Just going to put it on the right hand side. Going to sling it in with the wind. Going to sneak you past Sarah’s bunker. Pop it on the green. Get in the clubhouse. Have a coffee. Bit of a comel. [Music] down. That leading edge is literally like a knife. There is no flange. [Music] [Applause] [Music] All right, final six. 325 yds. Straight down draft. Straight down the rainstorm. Kick left then. H. It’s not bad. Just want to say thank you for being with us for this. The Hagen 54. So they have this event with the members um of the three courses called the Hagen Hoof. This is the first time the Hagen 54 has been open to the general public and it’s been an amazing day. Obviously a little bit wet now, but the opportunity to play these three courses all on one momentous occasion is special. So, I just want to say thank you to everyone for having us down. We’ve been treated amazingly as well. The amount of food and drink stations and all the staff’s been it’s been special. It’s been really really good. And we just want to close it out in style. Come on. It’s it right. We’re never using this club again. Oh, you dick. I’m keeping off those doubles. I’m keeping off the blobs. How have we got this far without them, by the way? Come on. Let’s keep that going. Like realistically point-wise, my card in my pocket is absolutely soaked. It looks like it’s been through a 80° spin cycle. It’s It’s not great. I don’t know how many points we’ve got of that. Just keeping those blobs off the car. If we managed to get through this whole round without that, well done. [Music] Ah, let it cleanse my soul. [Music] Carry it. Carry it. Carry it. Oh, we’re over it. We’re over it. All right. So, the bunker’s 130 to clear like a mashy. Yeah. No, no, no. Sit. Sit. All right. There’s still a chance. Oh my god. I almost stopped when I hit that. I would like a mashy nip like. Yes, that’s that’s almost just how I planned it. Well, boys, I think physically that might be me done. Long walk with a putter. Best walk in golf. Go on then. It’s not bad. Come on. So so close now. We are so so close. Thank you. Thank you. It’s probably playing at 155. Like that means anything. Oh my god. I think that might be the deepest bunker we’ve been in today as well. Yeah. Wrong time. Wrong time for that. Really not ideal. Really not good. The frying pan. Oh, this is it. This is it. This is where the blob comes. Just trust it. [Music] It’s come out. Yeah. All right. [Music] Sit. Sit. [Music] Why am I doing this to myself? [Music] No. All this way. All this way for a blob. That is absolutely gutting. No, I can feel the spirit of Walter leaving me. Mick, edit, Walter. [Music] I love I love edible things on a golf course. And here we find the lesser known hot dog tree. Let’s keep it in the control. Come on. Let’s finish strong. Pretty good. Middle of the fairway. [Music] [Music] Well, sit. A good shot. Not bad. Green regulation. We might be at risk here of not achieving any of the goals. We might fail completely. All this for nothing for a birdie. You’re knew it was left to right. Just just pushed it a wee bit. Just the easiest to pass. Easiest to pass. Walter Hagen may have left me, but I still have the shadow of his skill. It’s bright. fried it up. It’s all right. [Music] Feeling like a little mashy nibbling just behind the pin. Such a spin. You know what I mean? [Music] No. No. Okay. The Earl of Brunswick again. Oh, so we’re so close, boys. We’re so close. [Music] This is it. The final hole number 54. This historic event is drawing to a close, guys. Just want to say a huge thank you for watching. Oh, thank you for staying with us. I can’t wait to count on the score after. It’s either going to be heartbreak or a little bit of elation. Let’s just finish well. [Music] 282 one behind. Oh, this is it. Last call. I’ll knock it on the green. Hold the pot. Finish with an eagle. Click right. We up there. Uhoh. 92. 92. I don’t know that that is that true. 92. That’d be pretty good. What we got, Captain? Got the putter. Just sink it and we can go home. Pin high. Pin high. Sign of quality ball striker right there. Just imagine this for an eagle to close. I mean, stranger things have happened as well. [Music] Pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. 30 to finish. Well done. I’ll give you a hug. I’m wait. We’re well past that. Apologize. [Music] [Music]

Following in the footsteps of Walter Hagen, I take on an 100-year-old challenge and tackle the longest golf course IN THE WORLD. Set along the Kent coastline, I play Princes, Royal Cinque Ports and Royal St. George’s, all in one day. This was the same way Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes did for a practice round, before playing in the 1920 Open Championship at Deal.
