Critch Island. This looks spectacular, guys. We are in Ireland and we’re in County Donny Gall. Beautiful guys. We’re going to take it on Texas Scramble. See exactly what we can score today with the guys at seed. Um and we’re going to try not to plant some seeds today. Nine holes. This is by the way. Nine holes. And it’s spectacular. So you want to stay tuned. You want to hit that subscribe button and you want to put a like on this video if possible. And if you have time, go and check out Al’s channel. But you don’t have to cuz it’s mostly rubbish. Please. Right. Hell, are we going all guns blazing attack? All guns blazing. Stop it. That’s outrageous. [Music] That’s it. What’s the cost record? Always one, isn’t there? Do I bother? Yeah. You know, when someone says that’s fine, like he just gets a a mine with fine. We’ll take it. Fine is still better than average. It’s fine. I’d say fine is distinctly average. Yeah. Fine. Yeah. Okay. How far we got? Uh boat loading it now. Two hours later. 60 to the front. 77. That’s a phenomenal driver, I must say. 77. Yeah. Feels weird being on the same team. We usually We can’t bird them all if we don’t birdie the first. Is that Is that a rule? Yeah. Blob wedge. I got 56. I trust you. After this. Is that going to go left? Yeah. A bit. Kick the bank. Got to fly further than that. Is that on my screen? No, it’s just short a short on the front. That is a belter. Hold on, mate. Should we tell the guys what time it is? Yeah, I was just going to say that the time right now is4 to 900 p.m. PM. We’ve probably got another hour at least. Probably more. Yeah, probably more. Hopefully, more cuz we’re doing 9 hours. Yeah. Right. So, this is kind of in true next 100 fashion, isn’t it? Yeah. Chris just looks taller and we I’m not I’m not um I’m not replacing Chris. So, just so you know, disclaimer, you can say it. It’s fine. I am replacing Chris, right? What we saying? Straight at it. Boom. You say that for every putt, though. That is though. I think it’s right edge. Come on out. Sorry. I’m not a short game expert like Mr. Dennis. We do rely heavily on Chris for reading greens. Actually, that moved a lot, didn’t it? Yeah, it’s a cup, right? Never up, never in. Well, still get nine under. There’s a par five, ain’t there? No. sun coming through. What island is that then? [Music] Okay, [Music] that’s a stunner. Oh, stop it. How good is that? Beautiful. Come on. Right, forget that part. Pull our fingers out. We’ll make some birdies. The target is six with only eight holes left. So, it’s a lot. I know. Come on. What are you doing, Bob? [Music] See? Yeah. Bob says it’s weird as being nice to each other. I guess it’s like if your parents split up and they get together like birthdays and that and they’re just like being nice. Yeah. Like, also there was an honesty box in the first tea which is quite good cuz there’s no one there. Yeah. Pay your money. Really good. Love a bit of that. 108. 108. Yeah. Is that a front front’s 89? It looks quite frontish. So So it’s not a very long green. So 110 shot. 110 shot. Maybe just a bit less. That’s right of it. Ah, [Music] should be all over it, should it? Love it out. Just a bit short. This is one of those places where you kind of have to pinch yourself that you’re here. I mentioned in the introduction about it potentially being one of the seven or eight or however many wonders the world now are. Look at it up there. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. It’s lovely to see. So, thanks to Dean and the guys at Seed for bringing us out here. It’s been lovely, hasn’t it? Today, we’ve hit balls down a runway. We’ve done whiskey tasting. We’ve had 18 holes at a golf course. Probably as spectacular as this one in that order. Whiskey for breakfast. And uh now Yeah, another late tea time. Stunning golf course. And then dinner from Guinness. Feeling tired, Bob. All right. Chip up chip. Now if you want to get stiff, I’ll have a go with a chip. You want to put it? Put it. Okay. Sound like a Sound like a plant. What do you see? Bit of right to left. Yeah. Not a load. Yeah. Go. That’s a great It’s a line though. That’s the line. We’ve got Do you reckon we’ve got the four? Uh, you asking me or am I putting or am I chipping? Chip it. Great shot. Don’t you worried about [Laughter] knocker in why I got your picture out. Hard skip to me then. Yeah, it look it looked worse than it was. You shall I hit a five iron imply? Yeah. And then I could just have a have a ri. So what do you think then? You go you get you get one uh in play. I could probably util utility. Sorry about that. Just making aerial magic. Um what do you want me to do that hybrid that I hit the other day? Yeah, just in play. It seems to all run. Said the other day. It was earlier today. Yeah, cuz you’re the big dog, aren’t you? So you are you But you’re going to hit driver if I hit this, are you? Apparently not cuz it could run through. Driver, if you want to play, you may as well. Right. There we go. Am I left of the post or down? Down it. Left of the post. [Music] Good. Y. Where’s my line then? Dean’s Dean’s quiet. That’s got to be good, right? How good is that? Yeah. Yes. Beautiful line. Isn’t it amazing how the weather can be so different in different places? Bright sunshine there and on that island over there. Glum and drizzly. This is incredible. Wow. If mine’s finished here, Als has to be in the water, doesn’t it? I think he’s going to jump in the Atlantic and have a look. Is that the Atlantic? Got to be. Yeah. Got to be over there. It is. Titanic’s there. Yeah, somewhere. Watch really interesting documentary on that. It took years to find Titanic, didn’t it? When it went down, you know, like he’s a slow golfer on a boogie like this kind of thing. He’s even slower. Anytime today, mate. Take him. Anytime today. I was just looking to see where my ball was. Thanks for helping. I ain’t got scuba gear, have I? What? What? At least said one, not. What’s chances he’s not brought a fresh ball? Right. Come on now. If we don’t make bird here, we should pack in. It’s a shame. You brought the boat. Oh, no. You know me too well, don’t you? Yeah, we are. Where do I need to land this? I would. What you got? 56. Just halfway. Yeah, just past Dino’s ball. Yeah. Well, turns out it’s quite soft. Halfway downhill as well, so it’s going to fire off. had it. If I hit it, I had it. Had it. Take that though. That was nice. Pleased with that. Come on. You can get this. Come on now, Alex. Look. Not there. Right. It’s not in the water again. Don’t tell me that’s going to go in the water. I’ve kn for the next I’ve just knifed it all day. Never knife. Knife knife. Let’s make birdie. Come. Damn. Feel like this place has vibes of Leftton links. Yeah. It’s like similar temperature. It’s actually It’s a bit warmer but dryer. Yeah. Don’t need me put it, do I? No, mate. Own bowl of this. You owe me a beer. All right. Is that the rules? Where do you get this right edge? Bend down. You do the crickets then, Bob. [Music] Too hard. It’s still right edge though, ain’t it? Just pace it. No, that’s a perfect pace, isn’t it? Go inside right. How much forward shackling you giving this one? I don’t know. Might go minus three. Yes, that was a terrible straight team game, mate. Is it? Did you see that? Team game. Yeah, just your normal board. Got nasty again. Truthful. Took long. Took long. Truthful. Oh, your balls down there. Um, you know, sometimes Bob, we do that thing where I lay on a bench for a thumbnail. If I laid on that one, I would end up in the Atlantic. That bench ain’t holding up. It’s not, is it? It’s not because you say it. Say it. You’ll end up in there with your ball. Do you want to try? [Music] Feel like this could be a new series out off the beaten track. Off the beaten track because the road in was very much off the beach. It was. Yeah, it was. We are on an island. Is that the line, Dean? Yeah. So, I’m going to try not to fall over Al’s bag while I walked to me. [Music] Is that Is that too far left? Yeah, that’s probably starting a little bit too far. It’s safe though, isn’t it? Yeah. Yeah. Similar. Someone does what they just point me in the right direction. Shut. Nice. That’s a great drive. Thank you. Almost as good as my kick. What do we have? We’ve got We can see the 90 to the middle. Just playing 100 front. Yeah, it is plain 100 ball above feet. Nice trappy gap wedge to 3 ft. Hold it again. Two under. I like that. Yep. Yep. Let’s do it. You’ll drive this, won’t you? My drive 50 52 56 you think 52 bit lower. 30 mph winds. Always 30 mph winds. [Music] Oh my goodness gracious. I ain’t got wedge in me today. Wasn’t your best. How’d you hit that? Good. That’s good. Then that’s all over it. I’m hoping so. I’m hoping so. In would be nice. So, what are your thoughts on Critch? Love it so far. Yeah. Yeah. It’s very different. Scenic. Beautiful. Yeah. You know, I don’t know if I’ve got the game for it, but that doesn’t matter. I think your game isn’t exactly tailored to Link’s golf, is it? No. Or any golf. You know, Go on, say it. No, I think you’re a good golfer. Thanks. Thanks. Link’s golf. I’m not so sure. Oh, we got one in tight. We’ve got one in a clinic. It’s not as bad as I thought. Oh yeah. Dina hit the flag. See the waves crashing off the rocks there. Beautiful. Beautiful. Take me to my beach. Cut out. Bob, don’t tell Bob what to do. Bob, tell him Bob. Fill you in. Craig David, I’m going to fill you in. Right, Edgel. [Music] We’re a team. I know we are. No, I think that’s pretty straight. Moved, didn’t it? Yeah, it moved. Nice. Thank you. Good put, mate. There’s two. Two. Two. What do they do? Remember FIFA 99? No, it’s that. It’s bellies. Puty bellies. You can’t do What’s a good score on this by the way? For nine. Well, four. Five. So on the next 100. So our best score is 14. I think the average is about nine. Is eight or nine, isn’t it? So four. Four or five is good. Okay. Okay. We’re not doing bad then. Okay. You don’t need to go. Yeah. Just one of those one of those holes, I think. All right. So, over at the peg iron. [Music] I think I need it. Thank you. You think I’m going all the way back there to tea shop that hill? I hate it. I’m not angry. I hit I hit it where I was told to hit it. I’m disappointed. [Music] I could have threaded that hybrid down there again. We could have an eagle put. Now you want to show them what we’ve got, Bob. I hit six iron is what I hit. You won’t be hitting hybrid. That’s the Atlantic over there. Yeah, but I know how to like not hit something at 300% now. Woo! Getting nasty again. Took 5 minutes. Watch this. Is that sign flexible? Will it rebound? I hope there’s no puffins in there. This is big. anywhere on the green out. Yeah. Yeah. Duff it out onto the green and then we’ll assess from there. It’s a funky one. This [Music] That’s a great shot. Yeah. Well done. Safety first. We need to have a discussion on managing minutes, Bob, don’t we? On what? Managing minutes. So, let’s go for the flag now. And if it goes in the water, it goes in the water. Yeah. Exciting, isn’t it? kick right. Oh, you absolute. That’s disappointing. At least the drone footage is good. My fault, Bobs. Yeah, I did what I was told to do. And it goes and it’s just in the middle of the bunker like what’s hilarious? It I’m joking. It’s all right for you to joke and it’s not all right for the people to joke. I just would have liked to have had the opportunity to take a t-shot. That’s all. How about I hold this as an apology? I’d love you to I need a read. Getting dark, isn’t it? Yeah. Oh, look at the cave down here, Bob. A cave. Cave. You’re not putting that umbrella up there. Surely that’sing taking that clean off that cliff. You were back in Dublin. It’s good job we’re friends cuz otherwise just a foot right are your friends. We are. We’re best friends, aren’t we? Best friends ever could be. Best friends that anyone could have. Right. A foot right. What? Downwind. So Oh. Oh, I thought I was going to take him off. Oh my god. No. I thought he took him. Thought I thought that was it. We’ve got lovely scenery. I’ve got Jacko messing around my umbrella in background. It got some sort of product. Go on, man. Go on now. Yes. [Music] Told you there’s three. Leave us alone. You didn’t get a happy happy moment. Thanks, mate. Thanks, mate. You’re welcome. Right. Sorry. Can I hit off this too? Yeah. Uh, chippy. What did you eat at there? Five. Five. Chippy six, isn’t it? Chippy six. Can you promise you’re not going to stand on that remote? Al, please you. Ah, sorry. Al, it’s all right. Right. So, really annoyingly, you wait for a par three for six holes and it’s a beautiful, stunning, amazing par three. No, you can’t walk backwards. Rob, don’t worry about I’m just going to say I’m disappointed with it. That’s all. We’ll leave that there. Come. How’s your face, Bob? [Music] black eye. It’s face. Uh this way. Mhm. Yeah. About here. I like that. How do you want the flag? Yeah, that’ll do. Not high enough. Sorry, mate. Rubbish. Quite a tough putt this, isn’t it? It is. Get in. Nice roll, mate. Ah, that’s a tough one. That, isn’t it? The run ends. Tough hole. Great hole. Yeah, that’s that’s that’s good. Good roll with that. Yeah, very very nice. Come on, mate. I go. Okay, just let it rip if you’re in play. I’ll have a have a have a shot. [Music] Yeah. Left side. Just absolutely rock it. Just absolutely send it out. It’s lost this. Knock the urethane off it. Wow. Wow. That’s on it. Love that ball, mate. I’m not just saying it. I genuinely do love that golf ball. Yeah, I like the X1. Yeah, that was good for the next two. I did I did I did do a whole check. I’m not gonna I’m not ashamed, you know. I I did check the whole if if this had gone in. Yeah, Eagle would be nice. Eagle would be lovely. Got 56 in low 60. No, they’re slow, aren’t they? Halfway. Yeah, halfway left to right. Go in. Go in. What a great shot. Great shot. Thank you. Thinking I left or right, did it? Not as much as I thought. [Music] Well, nope. It was attacking. It’s a birdie though. It’s my second own birdie. Two pipes. your rule. She said pints. That’s it. Well done out. And it is officially going dark, so we need to reop. What a shot. Oh, time to bring in. Yes. Can I have one? I’ve only got one, mate. Do you have any more yellow seeds anywhere? Any glow? Any glowers? It’s perfect time for one of those, eh? I have the heavy artillery. Not just the drone. Yellow bow. The yellow peril. What? Think that’s brighter. Don’t use that one. No. I’m going to do a thing again. Dark. Get ready for this thing. It’s about to beep on your back swing again. Oh, I never saw that. Car master. It’s just center. Yeah. But it’s a pretty good shot. What’s it playing now? 200 on the nose. Yeah. Well, from there. Is it downwind or? Yeah. 200. Uh, yeah. Craft slightly downhill wind strike. Right side of the green short. It sticks out like a sore thumb, don’t it? That Oh, yeah. Take off. Yep. [Music] Guys, time update. It is 10:00. 1000 p.m. 10. It’s bedtime. Bedtime. It’s beer time. This is for you. All right. Come on. This is the latest I’ve been in a golf course. Apart from loafer and links, I’d say. Yeah. Come, mate. All this. Okay. Have a read please. So right, left at the start and left right at the end. So just not much in it really go aggressive. Well done. Oh my goodness. or shall I do that with your driver? It’s it’s more sensible me drive if you want, but I mean I’ll put in the fairway and then do that. Yeah. Yep. Safe. A long way in. Yeah. That was tight golf. So top of the peak in there. Oh yeah. Just to the left of that. So just to the left side of that. Okay. Just go straight down there. [Music] It’s a great strike again. Pleased you’re here today. Death wish. Death wish. Video. What’s your watch saying? 85. for left. Look at that go now. Done. Well, that thought I’ killed Finn then, man. What did you What did you hit? Tried to chip a 50. 60 is stupid, isn’t it? Uh, well, stupid is a stupid does it. That is delightful. Get up. Great shot. Now, let’s watch you play this off the beach. There’s a million golf balls down here. Where’s the pin? Get off. Come on now. It’s a birdie on the last. Come on. How’s the beach? Beach is great. Yeah, beach is great. I think a foot rides. Yeah. Going to go a lot this. I like that. But I can’t. You’re not amazing with that putter, are you? I’m amazing with any putter. So much break. Well, it’s funny cuz it’s like it’s it’s hot or cold, isn’t it? There’s no like just either goes in or you duff it. Come on. Come on, mate. For five. unlucky. Well, guys, that is a solid effort and it’s half 10 at night. Thank you, sir. Always a pleasure to do that again. That was terrible. Oh, yeah. Power. I called it cr. Thank you very much. I called it cr. I called it crutch. Thank you. Thank you, mate. Thank you. [Music] [Music] I’m an SD5 though. Okay, I’m going to switch out. And I cut in a [Music] [Music] [Music] Okay, guys. So, we’re sat here with Dean, the man behind Seed Golf. Dean, how you doing, mate? James, I’m excellent. Yeah, thank you so much for having us out here. Three fantastic golf courses. Hopefully you guys have enjoyed some slightly different videos on our part from this trip, but three golf courses that really embody the spirit of seed golf, I guess. So, yeah, we’ve spent a bit of time up here in Danny Gaul. Uh I spent a bit of time up with my family up here on holidays and that sort of thing. So, we would have in the early days spent a lot of time developing the early prototype golf balls on these sort of courses. So, would we find some early prototypes? You definitely would. Yeah, certainly crit you would. Um, so yeah, test them in the wind and all that type of stuff. So, and Donny Gall is kind of one of the few places I think left in the world where you can have this sort of experience for not a huge amount of money. And that kind of ties in nicely with what we do. So, we’re just trying to develop really high performing products for a fair price and get people into the game and, you know, without having to spend a huge amount of money, but still having a great experience like this. So, yeah, absolutely. And some of the stuff we’ve done off course as well, guys, we’ve done the whiskey distillery, we hit golf balls down the runway at Donnie Airport. It’s been I mean I don’t think that’s open to everybody but it’s been a fantastic trip and lots of fantastic memories and I think this part of the world really bodess towards that with how fantastic and friendly the people are as well. Yeah and the service has been fantastic. We had a couple of travel issues the first day and the the hotels the waterfront hotel there in in Dunglow was fantastic with getting everything organized for us coming in late and same last night at Arnold. So so yeah the hospitality is fantastic great golf courses and it’s a little tricky to get to but uh worth it. Yeah, it’s definitely worth the effort, I think, to get up here. So, so I would encourage everybody if you’re planning a golf trip, have a look at Dunny Go. It’s well worth your time. Well, Dean, thank you so much. We’re still enjoying the golf balls and what a fantastic trip it’s been. So, um, thanks for coming. Thank you. No worries. [Music]

  1. Comes across more as “taking the scenic route” more than “off the beaten track” because the courses in Ireland and surrounds are amazing views!

  2. What an amazing course, but I'd lose a bucket of balls playing there. Off the beaten track would be most welcome James. Thanks for all your great work.
