“Who’s the BEST GOLFER at this course?”
Today we are at the Cascades course at the Omni Homestead Resort. We’re going to be challenging the head pro Mark. See what he’s got. Wait, this is kind of Can you catch me? Got you. Hello. Hey, how’s it going? Good. How are y’all? We are looking for Mark. Mr. Fry. Mr. Fry. Golf. Is he back here? Here he is. Is he in his cave back here? Somebody call my name. Are you Mark? I am Mark. Yes. Nice to meet you, Adam. I know you guys. You guys are the dividers. I’m guessing they told you we were coming. Well, I kind of got a heads up, but welcome to the Cascade. So, we’ve been told that you grew up here, you know, beating Samne on the course and that you got a pretty good golf game. I did grow up here. Now, beating Sam is another story, but I was fortunate to know Sam my entire life and played with him the first time when I was 16. Wow. Wow. My game’s not quite what it used to be, but Well, we’d love to get a match going today. If you still got the time, I’ll make time. Tell me tell me what we’re thinking about. We’re going to do a 2v one. Connor and I are going to be scrambling up against you. And there’s a catch, though. For every single stroke you beat us by, you’ll get $100 cash. Really? We’re currently 0 and4 in this Head Pro golf series. So, the odds are in your favor, but you never know. We could catch a hot streak here and come out on top. But, uh, how I don’t care about the money. I’m just glad you’re here. Okay. Sounds like a friendly match then. Friendly, but competitive. Okay. We like to be competitive. All right. Well, let’s do it. I’m ready. Mark Fry here is the director of golf for the Cascades course and the whole resort. Yeah, absolutely. Resort in the clubhouse. We said $100 per stroke you beat us by. You said it’s not about the money though, so we’re going to mix it up and we’re going to take that money that you’d win for a hole and we’re going to donate it to whatever charity of your of your choice. It’s not about the money for me. You know, this is a game of a lifetime and so hopefully your watchers and your viewers will enjoy the scenery and if I can uh beat you guys a couple, then we’ll make a good donation. I think that’s a great plan. We We’re out here in Hot Springs, Virginia. Really excited to kind of showcase this course and what beautiful Hot Springs, Virginia is all about. Let’s get after it. The guest goes first on our channel, so you lead us off. Can we get a mulligan on this game? Yeah, always. I’m a big fan of mulligans. The 10th hole here at the Cascades is just a slight dog like right. It’s a blind T-shot. It’s a fairly short hole. The driving distance you want to try to hit it probably in the 260 range. And there’s a little more room right than you can see, but kind of straight ahead. Left center is a good good target. Okay, left center. I mean, I feel like I’m watching Sam Sneed right now, man. That was Well, that’s a ultimate compliment for a Virginia boy. Like I was watching Freddy couples with the tempo right there. That was pretty awesome. I snapped my driver in half so I’ve got something fun for us today. Oh no. We’re rocking the Sasquatch, baby. Guys, we’re in for it today, boys. We just got to chalk up the L. We’re going to be donating $1,000 to some charity. I was on the Nike staff for a period of time. That’s a little aged there. He knows big about this club. Tiger Woods used this, I think, in half of a tournament one time, half one tournament, and it was too loud. He said it was annoyingly loud. So, I don’t know where this ball’s going to go, but it’s going to sound crazy. Beauty. Sasquatch has arrived in the mountains of Virginia, boy. Let’s go. Sasquatch is alive, baby. I love it. Let’s go. Unreal. So, maybe he never needed a $500 driver in the first place. He needed a $99 Nike Sasquatch. I think I’m sticking with this one. That is awesome. What a great drive by Connor there. Frees me up. Well, I’m just going to swing over there somewhat and just see what happens. Hey, we’re good. Little too much Healy there. That’s That’s your warm up right there. I got a little mulligan, but my my teammate’s in perfect position there. I cannot believe it. I might have to go to the Sasquatch after that. That’s crazy. Oh, baby. Dude, I was anticipating that Sasquatch move. God help me on that T- shot, bro. That was insane. I was like, “Dude, please.” All right, baby. Fairway one for one. Sasquatch is just my new driver from now on. Got that brand new Bruce B glove, too. All right, we got 104ish. Playing 101. I’m just going to lightly bump a 52 out there. Hopefully get it on the map. Oh, I chunked the heck out of it. Okay, dude. The divots out here. Divot, dude. I’m going to play a little fade right to left. Got a 54. Full swing. 54. Maybe it’ll zip back a tad. Eli’s definitely in play. I chunked it, too. All right. Consistent. Unfortunately, my drive is putting me kind of under these tree limbs. I guess the adrenaline was flowing. Only got about 80 yards. Just got to keep it under the tree. So, put a little pressure on these guys. Ah, that’s long. Bite bite. Little deep. Came out kind of hot. M. Nice spinach, bro. It’s hard to hit a spinner when you also chunk it. All right. Little 54. Chip it up there. Let it roll out. Come on, baby. Holy. You can just run it all the way. Land it at the flag. Deal. kick right. Well, that sat. Well, you almost landed at the flag. Look at that divot from a chip. That’s awesome. Good chipping technique, guys. I’m in casual water, so I need to take a drop. Kind of a mud hole back here. I’ll let the camera see. All right. Go ball. Got to go. Oh, look at that one. Got to roll out there. Got to go. Good chip. It’s the most Connor friendly flag I’ve seen. Spot about your height. No, this is uh this is actually a taller flag than normal. Yeah, I just finally hit my gross bird. This is why that looks like that. We got him laughing on hole one. Let’s go. This is It’s a good start for us so far. Let’s make a par and get out of here. Okay. Not that slow. I rolled zero putts. What can I say? No, it’s We were telling you it’s slow. I I had to set up everything and you were there at the driving range. Actually, what happened is he left our mics. Well, I didn’t leave the mics. I left the cords, but got to pack everything myself. He didn’t help me. Boom. I’ll help you right there, big dog. Let’s go. P. It’s probably the new shoes. Fist pump par. Yeah, it’s probably the new shoes. Yeah, fist pump par, baby. This is traditionally pretty fast here. So, just try to get this started. Good putt, though. Look at that putter, though. I want to check that putter out. What are we rolling? Is that a twosided putter? It is. So, you know, later in life when you guys get to this age, I got kind of got the yips putting. So, I can turn this around and putt it left-handed if I want. A guy gave me this putter. It’s very unique. That is awesome. Yeah. So, you may see me putt left-handed, some amphibious putter, dude. That’s crazy. Correct. All right, I’m one down. Great putt, Connor. Thank you. You did a lot everything by yourself here. Driver, chunk, wedge, putt. I’ll take it. Football’s back, baby. And you know what that means? The flashbacks are happening, dude. But football’s back. And you know what that means? It is time for football, I guess. It’s time to get some parlays on. Let’s go. You know that one buddy that just never shuts up because he hits like a five leg parlay? Yeah, that guy annoys the crap out of me. That could be you. If you partner with My Bookie, it absolutely could be. And My Bookie has an insane deal going right now. If you put down any money up to $500, they’ll guarantee to buy it back if it doesn’t hit. It could be college football, NFL super contest, and survivor pools. Make sure you’re doing with my bookie. My favorite thing, six-man parlay, rushing touchdowns. I’m going to go probably put an extra 50 bucks on that. Use our code divot. D I V O T. You’ll get up to $500 of a buyback. Honestly, that’s a safe way to do it in my opinion. I’m wearing the Broncos, but honestly, I’m going lock on Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend. I’m feeling good about it. Speaking of college ball, I’m putting some money on the Crimson Tide this week. We’re having a bounce back. Ty Simpson’s going to go off. Our average age viewer is 35 years old. You guys are responsible adults, so be responsible with this. Just have some good time with your buddies. Get those locks in. Football’s back. Time to make some money with my bookie. Let’s go. Oh god, it feels so good. It’s been so long. Oh, Connor, when we get to the T- box, I got something special for you for this hole. Oh, boy. Did it kiss? No. I have a very lucky hole in one ball for you. This is actually in honor of John Shaneer, but Oh, Tiger. You know, it’s not every day an Alabama fan picks up an Auburn Tiger ball. That’s big. But I thought you needed some good luck for a par three. And that took a lot of emotional strength for you, brother. I’m proud of it. It did. All right, let’s get one on the green. Hole in one ball. Auburn ball. Catch a piece. Or was that far? I don’t think so. Okay, roll down. Okay, just short. It’s okay. Good swing though. It’s a fun shot. Thanks. The album ball worked good. Wasn’t a hole in one. But see, I visualized the hole in one the entire time though. How many hole in ones you have, Mark? Seven. Seven. I want a car with one. No. I did one on my birthday, one on my anniversary, dude. Special. I’m a special occasion kind of guy. I mean, when’s your next birthday? I need to be there. August 23rd. Can we start flying you out to these events? For real. Some insurance company. have one on Christmas, Thanksgiving, you know. Okay. Not my day. That was wild. It’s not my day today. Yeah. I just thought about this. Golfing on your anniversary is kind of wild. It was client golf. That’s the only way I got away with it. Y’all still together? Yes. Okay. So, it works out. See if we can get one on the dance floor here. Oh, baby. I pulled it. Ah, kick right. Should kick a little right. That’s a little too far up there. Yeah, exactly. Welcome to another episode of cool or not cool. What the rules are made up and the points don’t matter. So, we have a special item. I brought it on in on the first hole. This is a vintage Tiger Woods used brand. The Tiger Woods used brand, not club. Nike Sasquatch. We’re going to be giving this bad boy away. I’m going to say it’s pretty cool. This is a legendary club. I’m going to have to buy you a new one though cuz you’re hitting it so well. Honestly, yeah. I might go knock not cool. So, we don’t give it away. Bring the Sasquatch up to this green. Okay. Yeah, the next TE’s up here. Bring your driver. Okay, sweet. I was like, maybe he saw my chipping and Mike wants me to use a a driver. We’re going to be giving this bad boy away if one of you want to, I guess, to enter. Let us know your favorite Nike athlete of all time, any sport. I like it. Let’s go. Surprised this didn’t come off of this steep hill a little better. This is a touch shot. Probably going to get a ton of roll out. Need to put a little pressure on these boys. Not give them too big of an advantage. Oh, it’s got to roll. It’s just not rolling much off the down slope. How’s that not roll? All right, I got a little 54. Connor hit a little pin high. What’d you hit there? Seven. Seven. Yeah, that was a great shot. All right, I’m going to try to chip this in for us. There’s the roll. Pretty solid there, dude. Great shot. Good shot. Thanks. Little putt a little right. Aim a little bit left of the pin and let it trickle in. What do you say? Yeah, I like it. Well, it broke way more right than I thought. That was actually the right speed. Pressure starting to build. These guys are getting inside of me. They’re making putts. Whoa. Man, I did not see that being straight like that. I feel like a dentist hitting a lot of lips. Oh man, that would be a tough day. Like Mike Tyson. Yeah. I mean, that was end over end. It was. Yeah. Let me know when you want me to do something over the next hour, two hours or so. I’ll be ready. All right, let’s knock her in. Oh, I got a big catch. Good putt. Good catch hole. Nice up and down, boys. Oh, baby. That is two pars, two shot lead. Hey, Connor. Yeah, we’re that way. I’ve done one shot of the last four. Like, if that was a lottery, I would take those odds. [Music] So, what’s the best part of your game in your mind? You know, you I would say historically probably I was a good driver and a pretty good iron player. Weakest part would have been chipping and putting. Chipping and putting and all that around the green is about 60% of your game. If you’re going to be strong in something, you need to be strong in putting, which is 43%. But this hole is the 12th hole, currently a par five. Okay. In 1988, when the US amateur came here, they played it as a par4. This particular hole was voted the best hole in Virginia. like the toughest best hole in Virginia for as a par4. I’ve converted it back to a par five and added an additional T in the back. Yeah. Okay. So, you guys still have the T. So, okay. Let me see that Sasquatch. Put it to work again. That thing was just right of the walnut, Connor. You’ll be good. Uh, he turned it. Could get a rock bounce. Toast. Yeah, that’s a water hazard. Oh, cool, cool, cool. My partner’s calling for me. He needs my help. I don’t know if I’m going to hit a fade or a draw here. So, just pick one right down the middle. Right over I think I go right over the tree. What do you think? Yeah. Wow. Holy cow. Faded. Okay, we might be dropping. One’s left, one’s right. I don’t think they’re in the army. Left, right, left, right. But, uh, could be an opening. I need to catch up. I’m too behind. These guys are putting the pressure on. Golly. Well, that’s what you call A1 position. That’s a good one there, boys. There you go. Hey, man. I’ll say watching you do that with a Rolex on your right hand is it just does something in my soul. I um am not helping much today. But that’s okay. I’m going to just let you try to play one-on-one. I’m going to go first. Mix it up cuz whatever we’re doing now is not working. Got a little five hybrid. Connor went out of bounds. I also went out of bounds. We’ll try to throw one somewhat close to the green. It’s a water hazard. So, not OB. So, this is it. We only lose one. Oh, be so good. Where’d it go? Be so good. It’s right at the flag. Just short. Okay, just short. Good shot, dude. Long. Perfect spot. Now we can rip at it with zero pressure. All right, we got one. Yeah. 197 to a back pin. Be a mistake to hit it long, but a little into the wind. So, anything on the green be great. Par five. Come on, Alice. Putting. Wow, Connor, you got a hold of that one. Did you eat your waties this morning, dude? I didn’t eat breakfast at all. Only thing I’ve had is that transfusion and pre-workout. Wild transfusion. And the pre-workout, I thought it was a single serving, but it was a double serving. I took 300 millig of caffeine just straight to the dome this morning. My heart’s beating fast. Are you okay? Do we need to get like an epipen? What would you need to do in that situation? I think it’s the whatever the opposite of a nappy pin is. Actually though, we have to cut that. All right, here we go. Good play. That’s a safe route. That’s a good play. Safe route. Safe route. So now you go more aggressive. Deal. Spin. Spin. Oh, good shot. Let’s go. You take the craziest divots with your chip shots. Three big booms. Yeah, dude. I’m trying to freaking like go like lady in the No, I’m good. Connor’s hitting there pretty close. It was a tough pitch. He had to go over the bunker. Had a lot of check on that. May need to check the grooves on his sand wedge. Maybe see if I can lag this up and try to get at least a shot back. Trying to get the speed right here. If you’re not hand driver, then we can switch. And you can Oh, it’s going left. Oh, that broke a lot. Great speed. Broke a lot left. I’d give it like a full cup out. I like my line. I’m going to make Yeah, that’s your Yeah, exactly where your line is is what I was thinking. Oh, such a good putt. You hit perfect. Oh, no. Come on, Connor. Knock it in for par. So, we only lose by 100 on this hole. Actually, I guess we want to lose by a lot so we can give a lot of money away to charity. Yes, sir. Let’s go. Three holes, three one putts. It’s going to be tough to handle these guys, but mine’s for birdie. So, maybe I can get a one putt. I’m going to switch over and do with the lefty here. Would you believe me if I told you on the greens my putting handicap is a.5 and my off the tea handicap is an 18. You’re a good putter. You roll. I mean, I was watching you on the putting green. You have a good stroke. So, we’re switching it to lefty. We’re going to go lefty here just to see if I can maybe change my luck and get off the lip. Let’s go. Hey, lip one in. Finally. Birdie time. Birdie time. All right. Let’s get some birdie juice in the cart. Let’s go. Get the lid off, boys. Let’s go. Oh, the limit for amount of clubs in your bag in a tournament is like 14. 14. How many you got? I think we both got like a good 19 clubs. Oh, we we may have to renegotiate this bet. Yeah, we might. We can only hit one at a time, so I’m okay with that. Okay, little dog leg left. Shot is just at that right bunker. Just got to be careful not to overcook it cuz left is a penalty, dude. It’s just automatic. It is. Don’t zoom. That’s a good one, boys. Just follow that one. Boom. Great shot. Thank you. Just a monster. I’ll take it. I may have tipped the Sasquatch before the day’s over. I think so, too. Especially if you were a Nike staff golfer back in the day. I was there for cool. You have some of the the vintage Nike. Absolutely do. Yeah. Bunch of them. Easy. Go. Got a carry. Need a bounce. I hit something hard. I don’t know what direction hit, but I didn’t see it out. All right. Well, I’m going to go a little bit safer and try to hit that five hybrid like I done on the par five there. We’re going to have a long ways in, but we got to get something in play. Perfect. That’s fine. Yeah. Good play, Adam. Safe play. Safety allowed. Sweet. We’re gonna have a long ways in, but hey, we have a shot in. That’s all that matters right now. Sometimes you just got to be smart. You just got to get in the fairway sometimes. Great to see you, man. This has been fun. Great to be here. Thank you guys for asking me. Something I’m seeing everywhere is the 1766. So, I know 1776 cuz that’s the Declaration of Independence, right? Yeah. What’s the 66? What’s going on there? The resort was originally founded in 1766. And it was founded by a Thomas Good who came here by horseback. Obviously, there were no roads at that time. And he got in these natural springs, which is what we’re famous for. And after riding for weeks at a time by horseback and soaking in these waters that were 96° with 13 or minerals in it, he felt rejuvenated. Yeah. And he he went back and he told his friends, “This place in the mountains, when you get in these springs, you feel like you’ve you’ve gone back 20 years in time and your body feels.” So his he started bringing people and then he slowly but surely figured out, you know, if if people are going to flock here to take these waters, we need to build an inn. And so it started with an in and then, you know, the rest is kind of history. That was crazy. Best tea throw in the game. That was crazy. Two in a row. It was close. You going to go first? Haven’t I been going first on these? Last time I won first and you hit the 3-wood. Okay. What do you feel good about? I feel good with this one. Yeah. Yeah. Then send it. What is that? Three or five? This is a five dented though. It’s about 10 yards off. Yeah. All my clubs just sound like baseball. Seven would too. No, I like this. This is what I need right now. I’m drawing everything. Actually, draws coming from. It’s really such a good shot. It’s just I’ve never seen you hit so many draws in your life. Okay. Well, I got five hybrid. Just got to get one somewhat close to the green. I almost hzled that catch. Hit something. It’s short. It’s like I hit 150 yards. Okay, sweet. Good shot. So we got about 123. Plays a little bit downhill. Slightly into the wind. If we can hit something just right of the pin and maybe even a little pass. I think this is going to probably spin back potentially. So need to hit 125 yard shot just right of the pin. Oh, come around. Gosh, that’s pure. Spin back. No, don’t spin back. Stop it far enough. Wow. Look at the zip. It’s a good shot, though. I it off the green almost. Did he say he just Did you hear that? Just it on the green. Roll that back, dude. I it off the green almost. Okay, so we can let loose a little bit. Holy cow, that’s weird. Does he know? I wonder if he’s seen that on social media and doesn’t know what I mean. I uh almost hit a hoszle with a hybrid. So, I’m pin higher, right? I’m going to take 58. Throw it up on there and see. Let it release on the green. And we got to make a par putt. on up there, baby. Let’s go. Oh, I chunked it. If Locked in was a guy, I’ve never met him. We don’t have our best stuff today, but we’re having fun. I need I need to go to the hot springs and kind of get like rejuvenated. We’re going to the spa and the hot springs this week. All right, let’s get this one on up there. We got to lock in. Connor, I almost hit you with my club. I’m sorry. Oh, he’s got us. He’s in our heads. He’s in there. I’m liking what I see, boys. Okay. Well, I don’t know why I decided to do like a half swing chip with a 58. I would putt this. Oh, no. I’m I’m chipping this. Chip it. Definitely chip it. That’s going to What the That was a crazy kick, was it not? Yeah, it was a crazy kick. Which ball should I use? Uh, definitely not the one that you scoldled over the green. Definitely not. Bad voodoo on that ball. Too much jizz on that ball. All right, I should putt this. [Music] Did you tell me that I should be chipping or putting? I said I should putt it. I even said that. I just didn’t. Mark, knock this in for birdie, please. My pitch mark was here. A little too much juice on that one. So, love to have seen it stop here, but now it’s just an effort to two putt. It’s pretty pretty difficult putt. This is all about getting the right speed. That’s going to go. Not bad. You feel pretty confident about this one? Oh, it’s good in my book. Yeah, lefty. I can handle that one. I think Connor’s got it. That was in, dude. That one. Yeah. All right, we got a nice look at Bogey here for about 11 ft. We got to focus up. Whose idea was the transfusion at on the fair? I got the beverage guard coming for the second one. Was that Mark’s idea? That was definitely Mark’s idea. That is disturbingly straight. The ball so hard. All right. Going right edge. Oh. Oh man. Now we got to make this. Oh, that’s good. I pulled it a hair. Y’all gave me mine. Y’allss is good. Dang, that’s crazy. A double just like that. Good thing we played it safe off the tea, right? I think we never do that ever again. So, straightaway par4 here, the 14th hole. When the course was originally built, the green was about 30 yards on this side of where it currently is. In an effort to add length, they moved the green back. Futuristically, I hope to move this green back to its original condition. And because of that, I built another T way back there. Oh boy. At 53 yards to the hole, but I like to move the green back to where it was. You’ll see when we get here, this screen has an elephant buried in the middle of it. Good ball, man. Do you want to go back to the ping driver? Come on. Make sure I hit that well. And that’s safe side kind of. I just know that pines on the left are a No. I know. Look at this new driver. Never hit the shot before. Let’s cake driver down the middle of the fairway. Let Connor rip at it. Shade cut. That’s going to be fine. Don’t hit the limbs. I think you’re fine. All right, we’re dancing shot. Good hit. Thank you. That was a solid hit. It was finally found center of the club face. You own Sasquatch playing the draw? Yeah, I’m going to play a draw this time. I love it. We’ll see how this goes. Yes, sir. Oh, hammered. Come on, baby. That’s my team. Great shot. That’s so loud. It sounds like an aluminum can. It’s so loud. You hit that ball really well. Play the draw. Play the draw with the fivewood. I think it’s impossible for that ball to slice. It is. I got 137 uphill. Pins in the back. It’s a mistake to hit it over the screen. It’s just a very difficult up and down. Going to probably take the wedge thinking it’s going to jump a little bit just to try to make sure I don’t knock it over. It jumped a little, but it’s a little right. It’s trying to come back. Probably a little short. Going to be a difficult putt, but long’s no good.

So, let us know what your favorite video is in the comments and we’ll fly you out. All right. I got pitching wedge. Throw it up on the green. Get a putt. Get out here with the bird. Oh, be good. Is it flying? Would you hit a pitching w? Yeah. Deep, right? I don’t know. Looks good. I don’t know if it’s on the green or if it’s over the green. All right. Well, let’s do it then. Dude, the freaking draws, man. What is going on? I did a little more than a draw. That was a freaking yank. I don’t know what’s coming out of you today, but the draws is a whole different ball game than the swords. Yes, that’s true. That’s also one on the sissometer. Why coming out of you? No, you can’t you can’t say it twice. You can’t say it twice. Stop. Dude, shout out Coldplay for ruining that guy’s life. Well, he ruined his own life. He resigned. Yeah, as I say. He did it to himself. They both He ruined his own life. Apparently, he’s suing Coldplay now. Dude, he’s a billionaire. What is he going to do with extra money? All right, I’m going to give you a line. I’m not going to hit this 15 pass. Okay. Great putt. Kind of ends up being straight. Okay. Instead of 15 pass, it was just eight and a half pass. The right club. It was the right club. Hey, cool. You around, Carson. Give me some of that. All right, Connor, don’t do anything cute. Just lag it up there. Boom. It was so close. What a good putt. It did go back to the right. You read it. You read it correctly. Kind of dodged the bullet there. You know, Conor’s the one putter. He’s a five index in putting. Come on. This guy’s really good. So, I just need you to help my driver. Put that in writing. You said this guy’s really good. That was crazy. I’ve never heard that in my life. I can straighten out his drive. If he can teach me how to putt, I’ll do it for free. Get in there. Get in there. Same thing. Right. Kick her up. Good point. Same thing. [Music] This is a 225 yd par three with the pin in the back. So, it’s probably a 230 yard shot. So, par is a good score. Just try to get it comfortably on the green if you can and hope for the best. Oh, yeah. Oh, it’s gorgeous. How many hole ones you got? Seven. Gosh, that’s a shot. High. It’s like you’ve played this course a time or two. Yeah, I know. People in the comments are saying, you know, it’s guest on our channel, you go first. Like, it’s their home course. It’s not the guest. What are we doing? Guest on our channel. That’s what we mean by that. I found this at Facebook Marketplace. Brand new 7wood. Never hit it before. Could go anywhere. Got under it a little bit. Just stay right there, though. Okay. That’s all right. Just on the left side of the boat. I am a drawer of the golf ball now. So, let’s draw one in there. Oh, he did. Easy. Damn, dude. I told you. Overcooked it. It’s right beside Adam. Maybe a little deep. Deep. I think it’s long. Dude, you’re hitting a crazy low draw. Kind of insane. I like it, though. We got to get up and down for par. We haven’t really found many greens in regulation today, but that’s okay. We got a nice over the bunker wedge shot. Land it right over the bunker and let it roll out. Easy game. Oh my god, I clipped it. Well, we are over the bunker. Oh, I swung way too hard at that. It’s okay though because I’m setting up Connor here for a perfect flop over the bunk. Would you flop this or would you just If he hit it on, I’d say yeah. But now you need to get it on. Go. What was that? As we say here in the mountains, there’s still a little chicken left on the bone here, folks. If I can make maybe sink a putt and maybe they don’t get up and down for a change, I can start to take a lead. I’m going to chip this in. How do you feel about that? If you chip it in, yeah, I feel I feel good about that. Wait for it. Go ball. Go ball. Go ball. All right. I should Boom. Three big booms. All right. I should putt this. Yeah, I think you put it. Is this It’s time someone got smart. Is this going to It’s time that we actually like pay attention. Dude, these are these are moving a little bit quicker than Yeah, it’s heating up a little bit. It’s drying out. Nice touch. That’s just a little tiny bit out of the circle of love. That’s you know, valid. That’s when I need a broomstick putter to say it’s in the green in the leather. Correct. So, they got that left for bogey. Pretty straightforward putt. A little bit downhill. Think it try to go touch right at the end. Going left. No, it’s almost That’s good. I’m feeling generous. That’s good. Oh, I love you. You’re my favorite pro ever. All right, on to Are we ready to play some decent golf? Let’s do it. It’s It’s time to pick it up. Put the hammer down. Give the guys a show. This is kind of the signature hole, guys. The 16th hole here. Dole-legged right par five. Riskreward. There’s a pond that goes right up to the front of the green. So, the second shot is a force carry if you’re going to go for it in two. Got to go up top here. Go over those trees with a big hit. Kind of my redneck swing here. Need an extra 10 yards, maybe more. This is Virginia Hillbilly at its best. Oh, he’s just a pro redneck right there. That’s a little le of what I wanted, but still probably reachable from there. It’s good. I’ll take it. Let that dog hunt out there. All right, let Sasquatch Yeti coming out of the woods. Right in my ball. Put your redneck swing on it. Uhoh. Turn that one over. Talked him into that one. That’s safe. Three shot hole from there. I would play that. I’m going try to take it up over the tree. I’m going to te it up higher. I never tee it this high. Just don’t dummy mark my driver. Over the tree. Here we go. Yes. Is that good? Hang. There’s a creek over there. That should be perfect. No, you’re fine. Oh, come on. All right, let’s kind of get in, too, baby. There we go, Adam. Good shot. A great time. The resort’s amazing. The courses have been awesome. We just can’t thank y’all enough for having us out. Well, you know, it’s it’s good for us as well. And this is the future of golf. It’s entertainment. It’s fun. You guys are are a blast to play with. So happy to host. Conor and I wish we would ever have played golf when we were younger. And we’re trying to inspire other people that are average golfers, average Joe’s like us to get out there and play. And you’re never too old to play. You can enjoy it at any level. That’s the beauty of the handicap system. So, you know, everybody can play it at any level. And it’s a it’s a great sport and we’re glad to have you here. Thank you very much. The pond goes right up to the front of the green. I got 205. Plays a tiny bit downhill. Anything on the green would be good, especially me going first. They actually outdrove me on this hole. This is going to require a pretty good shot. Pretty good hit. Should be over, I think. Yep, nice. It’s on the front of the green. Tiny little fade, a little bit thin, but I think enough to put a little pressure on these guys. Just let you know, this is all carry. There’s a pond in front. There’s water on the left. Nothing good long. So, I mean, this is a piece of cake for guys of your caliber. I mean, golf. What What How do we stand? You guys are two down, two points down after the last hole. I think we are. Yeah. You know, and I’m putting for eagle. I’m just, you know, just swing. Don’t even Don’t even think about it. Don’t think about the fact that you’re crushing us and we’re putting Eagle. He’s so far in between my ears. Be the number. Go. Yeah, I think that’s up. It’s going to be on the front right beside me. A little deeper. Roll tide. Oh, baby. I was a seven iron. We needed that. Nice. Really thought I could get in their head, but you know, these guys are professionals. I mean, what are you going to do? We’re professional amateurs. Green light. Connor, throw me a dart. Oh, could be. Come on. Carry a little. Go. Carry. I think it’s up. Oh, yes. Come on. Good shots, boys. Y’all just y’all were waiting for the pressure to build, man. Let’s go. I love it. I hit a seven. I thought mine was short. Oh, yeah. Nice bait for the Let’s make it, dude. Just played the draw that time. It worked out. Lesson learned here. Don’t tempt the tagger. I tried to get in their head and try to play a little gamesmanship cuz I was already on the green. And look what happens. They both hit it inside of me. You know what they say, Mark. Blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. Oh my goodness. You know, I’m really afraid Connor is allowed to make that. He’s a 0.5 index putter. Then he’s got it 20, 15, 18 feet. You know, I just got to two putt and hope for the best. Oh, should have come left. Hit it pretty hard. Oh, that’s too hard. Good putt from there. Yeah, a little stout. A little left to right. Mhm. Mine looks like it’s too far. It’s breaking. I like your line. All right. If it’s good speed, I can’t promise you on that. Just scare the hole. Lag it on up there. Yep. Go in. It’s a good putt. It’s still Dude, I don’t know why I’m hitting it so hard. I think if I pretty much hit his line a little softer. Let’s go, baby. Come on. Didn’t I? That’s it. I’m afraid he’s going to make it. Let’s go. We’re back to our normal game, baby. Boom. Boom. Boom. No pressure here. You clearly see why he’s a five index in putting. I think he’s had about five or six one putt so now the pressure’s on me. I got to go lefty cuz when the pressure builds, got to go lefty. Good point. Good bird. Good. Good bird. Good. Look at that. A birdie and an eagle. We’re only down by one going into 17. Let’s go. Here. That’s your ball. Thank you. So, now we have the 17th hole, which is really the opposite of the 16th hole. This is a dog leg left par five. The Cascade Stream is covering the right side. The shot here is just hit it at the clubhouse. And if you can turn it a little, which Connor is now able to do, uh, this should be a prime T-shot for Connor. Just at or left of the clubhouse, it would be perfect. Holy straight. Hammered. That’s perfect. It might have gotten the rough barely. No, I think it’s right there. I think we’re good. Good shot, dude. Sasquatch. Sasquatch. Out of the woods, baby. I feel like the mountains and stuff of this is a good place to be hitting a Sasquatch. Oh, you’re hitting a hitting a little baby draw. It echoes. And I’m just saying cuz the Sasquatch lives here. He might hear that’s his mating call. He might come out hungry. I’m going to try to aim well on this tree side and let it fade back in. I think since you’re in a good spot. I don’t know how far you carried that. But if you carried it enough that was the aggressive line. That was I didn’t hear anything. That’s either really good or gone. So now the pressure’s on again. I mean these guys, man, relentless, right? I’m even par. I’m just up by one. I need a good T- shot here to put a little pressure on them. Hopefully, this is not an easy shot. Golly, man, that’s just perfect position. Oh, wow. Who was that guy? I don’t know. They should put him on the senior tour. Come on. What a great shot, Mark. Thank you. I want just y’all to see what’s on this guy’s wrist. I’ll see if I can say. I’m guessing it’s a Day Chest Jubilee bracelet, maybe. Yeah. So, this was a gift. My mother was in a jewelry business. My mother and father and my wife gave me this as a gift when she retired. This is about a 18 year old watch. I’ve taken really good care of it. That’s gorgeous. I love it. What year? So, you said 18 years. Yeah, it’s about 18 years old. Yeah. It’s one of my favorite gifts ever. It’s currently showing that it’s 32° C. Don’t know what that means. I was just in Canada, so let me think about it. Double it and add 30. That’s still That’s what I was going to say. It’s like 90ish. Yeah. Okay. It’s playing 193 with slope. I’m going to give them some valuable information, but this is not needling because the last time I need I needle them, I got my you know what, handed to me. So the pond in front, guys, comes all the way over to the left of the pin. You can see the cut line where the rough is. That pond stretches out over there on the left. Just so you know, it’s kind of from this angle. It’s force carry all the way. So if I’m going to chunk it and chunk it left, chunk it left. Right. Your chance to put the pressure on me. Oh, that’s plenty up. Just a little right. Okay. Just on the hill there. Probably pin high. That’s okay. Right number. I just kind of club face was just a tad open. I mean, it’s a great shot. It’s an eagle chip. Can never be upset about that. I’m just trying to play a little more left. Draw. Oh, just cured it, too. That was a good shot. That’s actually dry. That was a great pure. I’ll take it. Quality drive for me. The cart says that went 300 yards, which is a stretch for me. Obviously, at 58 years old, I got 177 yards left. It’s all carry. Uh, and there’s a little room behind it. So, I think it’s just gonna be a little soft sixiron. Try to keep it a little left of the pin. Can’t plan on them missing anything. So, it’s in my hands. How about right of the pin? That’s got to go. Oh, it’s a little thin. Get up. Oh, baby. Oh, little bit thin, but I got away with it. Mark came to play. Oh, that man Mark. Was he an iron there? What was that? Yeah, it was an iron of some kind. What a monster, dude. I believe it. This man played with Sam Sneed. Gave him taught him how to play golf. Who taught you how to play golf? YouTube. My friend, my good friend Luke Quan. Never heard of him. I legitimately sent him a swing video yesterday trying to be like, “Help me.” We are just pin high right. I hit a little fade out there. Mark is 20 ft for eagle. So we got to chip this in or get it really close for birdie to try not to when we finish this round one or two under it. Be a great round. It’s pretty I mean kind of came out soft. It’s better than bad for sure. Yeah, it’s a good it’s a good safe play. Nice. Okay. Got a couple inches on you there. Just can’t plan on them missing. I mean, they don’t miss. So, this would be a nice three on a par five. Hope for the best. I got a one shot lead, but these guys are good putters. Oh, he did hit it. Stretch. What a wimpy effort. Hey, a tap in for birdie though. We’ve kind of found our stride, but we’re not capitalizing when we get into clutch moments. We got a right to left. Unfortunately, his stride is like a racehorse and our stride is like Jimmy Neutron trying to run a 100 meter dash. Should I just drip this in? Yeah, just drip it in, dude. Go. It only It only took eight holes, guys. Great speed. I was so worried about it going long, I didn’t pay attention to the line. Okay, I’m kind of a betting man here. Okay. If I was going to make a Vegas bet on this, I would I would bet that uh 80% of the time he’s going to make this. Love it. So, let’s do it. Boom. That’s why he’s a plus one. Let’s go. This man is down with the freaking Seymour, dude. Let’s go. I told you I would have bet in Vegas he was going to make it right there, dude. Come on. [Music] [Applause] It’s kind of unusual. Both of our golf courses here at the Omni Homestead Resort and Spa finished with a par three. So many many matches have been won or lost here. You could come to the 16th hole and be, you know, two or three down and and go birdie birdie or eagle birdie like our boys did and uh come to this last hole and the match could be decided here. Hey, let’s have a good last hole right here, guys. Absolutely. It’s been so fun so far. It has been fun. Been a good match. You know, I gave you guys a little head start. was two two bogeies on the first two. Fought back back as hard as I could. I’m now one up, but it’s coming down to this hole. Oh, bunker. Going to the beach. Yep. Yeah. All right, we’re in play. Got to get my hips into it. You do have some flexible hips, too. Show us. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah, dude. You should be able to dancer. And that’s why he has a one-year-old. All right, I got eight iron. Oh, no. Cut ball. It was pured. No, I towed it. Oh, it was short. Think that might be goal here is just to finish with a good swing. Anything on the green. Sam Seed once made the bet that he could hit 10 balls in a row on this green. Someone bet him and I think he kept hitting till it was like 15 or 20 and they just rolled off. Oh my gosh. So, I’m feeling the same vibe. Need something on the green. Try to put a little pressure on you guys. Oh yeah. Get up there. It’s there. Didn’t quite draw it enough, but the distance is pretty good. Great shot. Plugged. I’ll take it. Good shot. Good picture right there, man. Yeah, great shot. Thank you. I hit a little toe bomb out here short of the bunker. It’s going to land on this down slope and looks like it’s going to kind of go towards the pin. We can land it short and let it roll out. The ball was moving when you hit it. That looks good. Go. Go in the right. Go. Good shot. Wow. Let’s match that one or do something crazy. It’s going to be fine. Oh, a little check on that one. Checked on you. Wow. You giving it to us? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That’s a good Oh, that’s friendly. He just gave us that putt for a bar there. It’s huge. Well, those guys had another fabulous up and down. Great shot. I got a oneup lead, so just trying to protect my $100 to my charity. Be nice to make this, but don’t want to get crazy and lose my hundred. Come on. Come on now. Come on now. Ah, that’s a great putt. All right, so tell us tell us the charity. What’s the story? Who are we donating to? I grew up here in the county and I played on the high school golf team and fortunate to make a career out of golf. And 3 years ago, I noticed that the high school kids, there were only two kids on the high school golf team, which was discouraging. This small county, which is about 4,200 people, has produced 43 golf professionals. Wow. In its day, starting with Sam Sneed, and a lot of people followed his footsteps. But with only two kids on the high school golf team, it was disheartening. So, I started a uh a junior golf program called the Virginia Highlands Youth Golf Academy. I wanted to raise a half a million dollars and then with any luck and dividends at 4% I could give away $20,000 a year in scholarships. Come on. I’ve given away two scholarships so far to $4,000 last year and $4,000 this year. That student will get $4,000 every year. While they finish college. So, currently got a bit over $240,000 in the account. Just lost JC in April, one of my best friends, but he made a huge donation. So the the scholarship is named after him, the JC Sneed Memorial Scholarship. So that $100 if you guys would donate it to the VHYGA, I’d be privileged. So we we just said no matter how much you beat us by, we’ll go at least 500 bucks. Oh, that’s awesome. We’re going to do $500. So we’ll give it to you. You guys are great. And we had a great time. Thank you for being here. Thanks for having me, guys. We had a great time. And you played It was awesome. Pleasure to know you, man. Guys, if you get a chance to do this with these guys, highly recommend it. They’re in Nashville. They’ll even invite you out to play in Nashville. Follow their channel. It’s a great cause and they are donating back to golf and I appreciate it. And as always, we’ll catch you next time.
