Playing a South African Tour Course with Pro Kyle Barker | Serengeti GC Vlog #southafricangolf #kylebarker #serengetiestates

Join me for a round at the stunning Serengeti Golf Estate, a Jack Nicklaus-designed TOUR course just outside Johannesburg alongside the awesome Kyle Barker, one of South Africa’s rising tour professionals.

This was the final of 3 videos we filmed on the same day, and it really shows off both Kyle’s game and the championship-level setup of Serengeti.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to walk a proper tour-level golf course, this vlog gives you a front-row seat.

Playing a South African Tour Course with Pro Kyle Barker | Serengeti GC Vlog

[Music] right there go right Legends welcome back we’re in sa again with uh with another guest which is fpp been exciting I think so uh rard Albert welcome to channel my boy thank you so rard plays on The Big Easy 100% And you just got your car back again yes so it’s been a tough old few months it has it has been tough but golf is not easy so we’re all trying this journey I think we know that all of us know that especially amateurs yeah and the golf on my channel will say exactly that golf is not easy right guys okay so it’s going to be a scramble today we’re going to yeah I think we’re going to see how well we can play I reckon a good a good Mark is proba i’ say under part least 100% yeah go for 5 600 or my word okay fine cuz the last gramble I played the the goal was like one under so 56 under that makes me really happy he’s going to do most of the work I’m going to sit there like a nice passenger and uh yeah hopefully this is good let’s get going your weekend golf is obviously you like me and just be crafty okay very cool just going to add a little driver cut do I need to hit not really but you can hit yeah that uh that’ll do I think yeah that’s perfect that was better than the ones on the Range as well that was perfect 100% let’s do it one might be Fairway mine might be rough 100 to the flag I’ll quickly have a look 103 103 so this is full shot which you could stop it I don’t think not going to be able to create enough spin with the other I might be able to stop it but if you pitch it on the wrong slope you’re going to go long okay let’s take this one then my I think this is better yeah okay let’s take this one you want to pitch it like 95 odd there I’m loving the fact you you think I’ve got that much just feel in the in the mine in the mine actually things go further up here don’t they yeah they do um 10% right let’s hope Dan can do it yeah I think you should go first today and then I’ll and then you’ll what I’ll try help if something goes okay 102 I’m not going to go too far I’m going to I’m going to go between the sort of Bunker and the flag that’s the plan oh yeah oh that looks so good great shot that could be really good great shot I think I should go have a beer yeah 100% I’m in the I’m just going to go full lob wedge straight at the flag come left come LIF sit down okay we got one on love the divot though I don’t think I get hit it that far it’s actually quite nice I reckon to play the scramble cuz you’ve got like I haven’t haven’t a while yeah and that you know the first thing it goes as the distances and the wedges yeah yeah even someone like Joel Damon is still doing well but people don’t realize actually how good he is even though he’s doing well now because he’s um got a lot of sponsors now because of the Netflix Channel correct you have PJ to Golfers that are live that live in their cars at tournament so definitely left or right and then coming back a little bit at the end you reckon like a foot and a half yeah okay turn yes that’s okay it’s come on a bit that turned quite a lot yeah it did it doesn’t snap at the end though it turns here and then comes back straight straightens yeah but I went more I went like 2 feet okay so I reckon if you got just less than that you’ll be good no that’s good that’s good keep coming keep coming keep coming yes they run out kind of just went a b left yeah yeah yeah well done Bud might have to change the five under intro now with the n9s thought we had time just going to go for that little cut driver again yay yay yay yay yay I going to be behind you Oaks all day yeah I think so mine’s a little right probably in the rough but you okay yeah that tree is good yeah a it’s going to work yeah it’s a bit leaky but not bad just rough there yeah fine might be yours it’s all right what are you going to hit once cuz basically these are new irons and we’re at altitude so I don’t really it’s probably M it’s close my seven goes like 180 eight hour should get there out of the rough it’s going to jump cuz I’m going to be able to te mine up yeah so it’s going to jump I’ll go a fine let’s see where yours lands going try it a little draw lovely strike seems to go needs to go go should be there no it should be there okay just if you tear it up nicely it should get there okay we’ll get an idea of the distance as now okay right guys well scramble rules nice little tea up in the rough here so I’ve got eight on as well hit nicely good yeah that’s good oh be the club be the club look like a jumped the load off yeah I did Black yours got rims like you from D how long have you actually been um trying to make it since after Co yeah after the when we started playing golf again it was like 2021 and then I turned Pro 10th on the 12th all theit on the call fars a ranking as an amateur yeah wanted to make the sa team but they it like four people behind me on the ranking so I was like I’m not going to do this any longer okay and then struggled a bit for the first year yeah cuz you know we didn’t play golf for like what 6 7 months in right okay so it was hard to get back into the Rhythm and I started playing well like when out a shoulder off started playing well what did yeah we had to take all the stuff and they took out my which is that cion and they cut up my bone or that’s space who’s who yeah guys yeah I’m yeah okay cool but I mean people just don’t get breaks sometimes yeah like you just just miss DP or you just missed PE school but then it’s a whole year where you were for us it’s like PE school is 4 days top 20 out of 120 golfers and if you don’t make it then it’s a whole year without a job again that is nuts man it honestly is crazy people only see the top golfers and they think it’s lavish lifestyle and it’s really not I’m thinking a little left to right yeah kind of on his ball you want to go first uh well yeah I mean if I go cuz I reckon youve got a better chance of actually making it half a foot kind of around there okay I’ll let it die as well there yeah oh that’s a good part that’s a good part great part so close YouTube [Laughter] rules good effort good effort right we stayed flat a five so we went under oh was that 5 five yeah oh you said it was yeah I forgot went under Happy Days four chances from 10 toal 30 yeah you just think too much yeah 100% you read into the line too much and you’re like I need to make this Cameron the other day said something he was like he started putting better when he didn’t try and make it he was trying to just hit um just have a good stroke yeah and then kind of if you’ve hit the right line and you’ve hit a good stroke if it doesn’t go in it is what it is yeah it’s easy to say this it’s hard to get that mindset though yeah I would agree with that but that’s why those guys make it is that flag I got 194 flag okay downwind A little uh 180 shot it’s a really good seven maybe even go may go six yeah okay yeah I think sometimes guys we don’t realize how good these guys actually are and how many guys are out here trying to make it and uh yeah there are thousands probably hundreds of thousands like him trying to make it so thought but it’s just crazy so the boys are the top you know they’re probably plus eight plus n golfers let’s try make a this what are we going to do like I’ve got a 79 from 195 M yes that was nearly Alice’s leg I love that get what a shot Bud okay so I think six is the club as in for me that help that standing there cuz I saw it I was like [ __ ] this used to go straight I was like when you about to hit it I was thinking she she’s quite close there it wasn’t that close no no no but in my head I was like it just looks close like mentally yeah be oh yeah be oh be the club great shot guys I have no idea what’s happening it’s going well we’re not going to question it 100% fine Happy Days happy days it’s all good swing Chang is looking good hey R but don’t say it too loudly because otherwise golf start to be like you know when golf goes what’s that yeah you’re enjoying it don’t yeah you’re enjoying it yeah see I was watching your some of your swings when we were editing and it’s interesting watching you guys uh um play really good goal how you how you use your bottom oh yeah a lot I use mine more than other people cuz I was just like kind of when I started playing golf a lot of my speed came from my hi cuz I was always quite small okay so I didn’t really hit it long so I got a lot of speed from my hips if you look at J arm all those guys it’s all bottom half like kind of like squatting and then launching into Rory is a prime example Iz have you seen him in real life small tiny honestly he’s really small um but I mean there a lot of 16 17 year olds that we play with now yeah that are tiny they h p me oh yeah like 10 11 oh my word you just tap that one in and then I’ll yeah I’ll wait for them on the next T yeah I think that’s that’s probably the plan I’ve worked really hard on like getting to that position where you to actually do it without being you know it’s not easy no no I used to hit a cut though so mine also does but I still hit a cut on all my longer clubs it’s more the shorter clubs where I would hit yeah yeah yeah something else what you I’m seeing like a ball left I mean it’s all going to depend on Pace isn’t it yeah but I’ll tell you anything like just outside that hole see I prefer dying it so I think I’ll I’ll go ball left in okay you like it yeah I just hit it too hard I think I went a bit too much as well started like a little bit yeah too far left it’s a good P though wasn’t bad okay so you’ve got license yes boy I didn’t believe you when you said the 500 was on but I’m like okay no we’re going to get there okay that would be the most crazy under most crazy scramble I’ve ever played it gets good now lot of water hols and oh good 16 16’s are really cool B five this is a stroke one it’s okay yeah yeah but your lines like green side left green side bunker if you finish on that you perfect green side left uh green side yeah with driver okay fine little fade driver again that’s just it just looks powerful like really powerful that there Drive amazing but you didn’t have oh no wait I didn’t see it I didn’t I had a tight list um I’ve gone to the Ping I went to the Ping like a month ago is it it’s so good okay guys again nothing yeah nothing different really oh no it’s not cutting off is that okay yeah oh yeah jeez it’s rough but it’s it’s good there it’s working it doesn’t go like 25 shorter ites like 5 10 m shorter and it goes really straight right okay brick Shield went to it for a while um not that I don’t know you know Rick has been struggling anyway that he was struggling a little bit as well and I think it actually did help I think he said the same thing as with you is that with the off stries yeah it was the big thing um Peter Finch also hit it for a while he he’s a really good goal for p but I think um you swing it well and you hit it well I think if you just had the right driver setup tight whatever it is colorway they’re all good look I mean it’s going to hit it much further as well yeah yeah cuz that I’m going to hit that thing your driver 30 40 shorter than mine you ready 100% well that’s not good to he well I went from the tightest just before this one to the new one and I got 15 M exra that’s nice and that’s the same brand yeah so this is this is this you no okay it’s thick yeah at least I can Team onine Up suppose you also lway I’m going to hit 56 okay go straight at it like just if anything just ride of it okay feel like we can get this close that going to go go go yeah I should have hit 48 it’s not bad I just felt like it just climbs on you with that lie maybe that’s one thing I struggle with after taking off the wedges it’s easy to hit like a full N9 but yeah a little off the right it’s going to straighten at the end I mean this would be a cut and a half really but like two three balls two three balls start quite straight M yeah it’s not bad though so close ah cm is just golf basically yeah all done nice and solid so is that part they on yeah four right guys we stay two under at two under trying to get to five we got a couple of chances to come say CH yeah we are going to give it our best Bloody shot and I think D 17 D 56 56 Happy Days line like lefted B cuz there’s water going all the way down the left and then it comes in a little as well just want to I me even ask me a new car no of course you don’t yeah that should be good is that okay yeah that should be perfect same sort of thing little bit of little bit of a fade you know the drill no that’s the one that’s gone first one today actually yeah we’ll take [Laughter] yours sometimes when you swing it softer you m it and it just off yeah but I think all of those things today like if I’m hitting it like that because I’m not playing for money or anything I’m happy because at least I’m I’d rather do that than hit it cuck and be on the green and be making yeah no it looks really good just feel like your irons are really good but the driver when as soon as you have the right setup yeah it’ll come it’s going to be the same thing actually I thought I was in the dve actually but this part of the co is really nice a dude honestly this is just so beautiful and then obviously the weather on top of that yeah 80 y That’s crazy I’d fix it up so quick well that’s one of the newer ones I think the a lot of my friends have also been struggling sometimes with their R finders yeah you feel like you’ve got to like shoot it like yeah four five times but my brother’s one that he has now is crazy takes into account like wind and slope and I I’m just going to hit a little cut down l oh that looks really good come back come okay now now set Now set yeah shot BUDK yeah I need a [Laughter] ball I put the other one in here no chucked it in the back just put a swing on there and a trace and then put your ball into the ho and put it in the hole Yeah that’s why good good good has been quite lucky with that eh what in inms views the two H in ones on the PA fours I don’t even know how somebody but you know what it is somebody get H in ones others just don’t no see that’s the hands of the bottom yeah cuz I don’t trust it yet yeah to just get there but I do exactly the same thing I mean it happens to me so many times and then what’s happened there is because I’ve got handsy I’ve I’ve shut down shut and you shut the face and it com out long left exactly you I’ve probably hit like a 9 in there in terms of the doft and you get away with it when it comes to like full irons cuz it’s not going to fly like 20 30 further no 100% but with the wages when you’re playing field shots you you just don’t get away with it at all and if you look like wages is a lot to do with your upper your chest yes rotation through the wall and I’m actually like if I look at today if I’m honest I’m really quite happy with how I’ve been hitting it cuz with the one with one uh thing lesson and then come and try and put it into practice you’re still going to have shots that you yeah but I mean that cuts sort of nice you which hopefully also means that like the other stuff that’s been worked on for the last year is that the rest of the fundamentals aren’t terrible yeah first of all that’s key where your ball position your grip if those things are all right there’s only that much I can go wrong with the swing yeah no you’re all right if you look at an amateur and even though he’s like an 18 handicap but his fundamentals are good but it’s still all over the place yeah no yeah I get it but you swing it well yeah think I swing it well enough you know what I mean it’s not like those amies that are inside and over the top and you know you don’t know what’s going on there yeah you’re like I don’t know what’s going on he’s like you’re just setting up like this and then you start shooting 65 again which but it’s also so frustrating because it must be like a good tournament that you’ve got coming up or that youve just played and you think oh I’ve done all of this wrong and it’s like no it was just your alignment and you’re like but then your coach also told you to make sure that those things are right every single day and obviously didn’t do it so I like kind of like over this pitch mark which one I kind of like yeah do you reckon that okay I’m going to trust you that actually cuz you can go a little bit ler like left edge of it okay that thing turns yeah actually you know what what I’ve seen a little bit is you’re aiming like a little bit left of where you want to yeah you’re aiming a bit more left than what you should be even on those left or rers in the beginning and then pushing it on to line if I say foot you’re probably like a foot and a half drop drop drop drop yes boy what a pot three three yeah yes F three with four to play the boys are cooking I think as Mino would say with this pitch mark like yeah interesting and not so it starts well you’re fun okay so it’s a little bit more yeah like on that previous part you’re probably aiming straight instead of like two yeah I do it with the tight list it’s probably just because I’m not used to it I always feel like it’s lining weird like have you tried the tight list a weird feeling to get used I’ll try that did you oh hold on wait wait wait wait wait wait wait sorry bud Ser yes thought uncomfortable or over it anyway glad so you can didn’t really know what I want to H uh okay I’m going to go with a grub down pitching wed see the club see the club don’t spin don’t don’t spin that stop good that yeah short buddy thank you that was nice to watch so let’s try and do something similar oh yeah lovely SW cut sit up I think it’s got to sit what’ you hit that was such a good easy swing I got a bit excited with the 46 it comes out so nicely cuz you then you then middle it you so your timing is so good yeah which is interesting cuz it I should stop freaking trying to kill it so like inside L half um half the ball over the left Edge yeah yeah okay let’s do the T L thing we’ll just give this a crack okay yeah that’s good the tiess is that better p is still little left okay there yeah oh just too hard there was a good line it just bounced as well yeah really good pot though that was decent yeah it doesn’t do a hell of a lot no that is a mistake from us I just desal on it a little just mine could have dropped though as well if I hadn’t had that much Pace yeah 100% that putt you hit there was my putt with less Pace yeah yeah I just pushed it mine so bad okay so we saay three good chances coming up now two more chances so what do we wait what hole was that 15 15 16 17 18 okay so three holes to go two more birdies needed yeah 16’s a good opportunity but 16’s good it’s not the nicest look of the eye water everywhere about oh joy like oh what are you doing a YouTube video what do you need a camera that’s fine I’ll get it sorted now tomorrow maybe I’ll go tiger line and then Dan if it doesn’t work out you go Fairway well it looks all right is that good very right that’s good so you saying that’s a bit right so if I go no that’s perfect line oh that’s good I mean like if you really want to go you can’t go much further no no no you guys hit it further so just yeah that’s perfect okay anything finishing on that back middle bunker is good same thing I guess same thing yeah great swing that’s better happy day that’s good you got a very nice swing don’t g off 192 yeah is that right what’s your hit what you H eight eight a little thck I think Seven’s good if you tear it up nicely okay it’s got to be me isn’t it just hit a good shot okay guys one 192 um got seven I think it’s going to fly I think it’s going to jump so go go I just don’t hit it as far but it just wasn’t jumping I don’t know that’s nice though it was a nice shot I just need to I need to one Club up I think a shot an off up oh that has a chance oh yes oh yes I just tap it in yeah just tap it inot perfect we can shut on the box uh just a luxury no is that not good okay so anything just right of the flag anything right of the flag even with that cut HH yeah well i’ say like started just left of the flag with your cut okay and then it finishes right right go we’re going to okay so we’re going to give ri’s driver a little go yeah so it’s one of these new penguines so oh yeah yes see that flight good that’s really good brilliant is it on no it’s just short just short you see how nice that flight 43 43 yeah okay so let’s see how close do you reckon we can sit this to that pin with I don’t know I think if you pitch it like you see the up slope that little Bank the last one yeah you pitch it like on that just short of it that’s good it’s going to feed down see that it’s me just not having a clue of these shots at the moment spin spin okay just nearly I think it was what is it skinny a little bit a little but I just pitched it on the down slope I was trying to hit that lower one that like scar skar stops yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I think it’s part of it isn’t it is just like um trying to make it and then if it’s just becoming too much of a stress you’re not enjoying it anymore then it’s like is that is it cuz life short but you want to do what you want do are you going to go first you can go oh am I going okay so I’d say like just outside right Edge just outside right Edge finish yeah that’s good yeah quite quick yeah oh yes oh yes right pip there we go so what’s that four five is that five now cuz we did the last yeah great honestly might as well Beat It by one year on the last go six yeah I honestly I promise you I thought you were smoking something funny when you said five on 90 scramble is definitely doable if you hadit a few nice shots but but also it’s easy if both are playing well then you can but it’s like if I didn’t know how I was going to play so and the thing is always making a few putts that’s a big thing we play a five SC from Ladi the other day [Laughter] us8 that is unbelievable we did play with ladies yeah but still they say that that’s like Bryson was saying it’s a really good way to learn to score it is I mean sometimes when I used to be at home struggling like mentally [Music] make it’s a playable okay it’s okay I try to yeah you try that was like in here try to smash it okay guys last hole 5 under part to tie the score and birdie to beat it birdie to beat the score right okay oh yes got I love it do you see what I mean that was like hey yeah it’s just a strange flight but again like it’s a new driver you yeah yeah but it sounded a little bit Healy but it’s still not terrible you know I mean still middle faway yeah this is the whole thing now is I’m in the in the middle of like rebuilding the bag oh yeah so the irons are great but now I need to start getting the rest of it I’ve just put this in the bag which is quite nice oh yeah this is very nice and that’s the shaft that I’ll probably have cuz he’s got the TX yes I’ve got 105x yeah this is a good shot I think that be nice yeah yeah that’s really good it’s yeah one up from stuff I think but uh uh behind as well though yeah you just want to there’s a slope at the back as well so if it comes a bit hot it’ll spun down okay so guys we got about 46 to come in here 46° 145 is um to the flag I say it it is to the flag ah leakage would have been decent I think yeah would have been good maybe just fighting the slope a little uh yeah maybe I’m not sure I just came out of it a bit I think it’s good though yeah wasn’t bad leis is still cutting yeah yeah I’m going with pitching wage no probably you’re going to be yours I reckon I just hit it th yeah so [ __ ] from us man [ __ ] 145 I was trying to bring in like quite a nice draw into there yeah I don’t know what I was trying to do but it didn’t work and I just hit it then I think I’m going to bump it right now you’re going to bump it I just feel like that down slope out of this Li is not going to sit yeah I’m seeing it like what do you think about like pitching it like just right of this div thing I don’t know how it’s going to react that’s my only thing cuz I was thinking similar um but I reckon I genuinely think either if it’s going to be low and bumped there it’s going to it’s going to travel or if it bumps here it’s going to check it up and then it’ll I’m going to go a bit shorter and then try to roll it and those are the two options yeah shot that’s fine I’ll get maybe if you can get an Ice T you can stop it I don’t know I think it’s a decent l so yeah I just sto dead just stuck we got a chance here right to finish 6 under five five yeah I don’t see a hell of a lot in it no if anything like right center but it’s pretty straight okay guys come on let’s try and get this done didn’t think we’d get to five so let’s try and keep it there happy with that yeah pull it yeah that oh yeah that was such a bad putt though ah no pressure yes Bud well done thanks so much thank you right guys that’s the end of what I think there probably a scramble we I don’t know I didn’t think we’d get to the score but rot did so let’s maybe that’s the lesson positivity but uh thanks for sticking around um we’ll catch you guys next time sh py sounds good thanks
