Good day, guys. Today we’re going to do another break 80. I’m at my home course, Rockingham. Um, beautiful Wednesday morning. Uh, we got a couple of older guys teen off at the moment. We haven’t had much of a warm up. Um, it’s currently about 20 6 in the morning. Can’t really complain. Let’s see what we can do. Good day. We’re starting on the 10th today. Uh, looks like we’re going to have a pretty clean run. Uh, we got three older BS in front of us at the moment. Um, so it should be a nice smooth day of filming. And, um, yeah, let’s try and break 80. It’s a bit over the right. It’s going to be short, eh? Yeah, well short. Oh, sit, sit, sit, sit. We’re putting. It’s going to be a long one. Oh, look. I’ll take it. It’s not too bad. All right. This is not an easy putt though for Bog. B starts not the worst in the world. We’ll just go straight at it. We’ll take it. Hole 11. Going to take a 3wood here. Like I said, I haven’t practiced much this morning, but which is probably going to show. Anywhere around the fairway is good. Straight down the middle. I even slipped. Go. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Oh, that is a flipping good result. That wasn’t a stutter, folks. I was just trying not to swear. Toed it. Pushed it. [ __ ] Oh. Look, just I nearly smashed that. All right, three over through three. Let’s keep going. Started at those left trees and hit a tree. It’ll be okay. Oh my god. Go. That’s [ __ ] Oh no. I don’t know if I’m going to find that. Might just drop a provisional [ __ ] [ __ ] Oh. All right. Look, if I’m going to if I’m going to be honest, solid eight. That was a solid eight. Oh [ __ ] All right. We’ve gone from three over to six over. Okay, I’m hoping my mic isn’t buggered. I just heard in one of the other videos it sounded a bit [ __ ] I don’t know why. All right, we’re [ __ ] we’re six over now through four or whatever. Come on, pick her up. Bug leg left. Nice drive will bring us back here. That is about as good as you’re ever going to hit on this hole. Holy [ __ ] This is my best ever ever drive on this hole. This is down there. Let me check what it is on me watch. No, we didn’t get a six on that hole. We got an eight. Watch. Yeah, don’t talk about it. All right, we are right down here on the 14th. We have a nice wedge on. Look, it’s only gone like 260 odd, but cutting the corner that much on this hole, it’s really This is This is really, really, really down there. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Right on 270. It’ll be 270. 27. Yeah. 270. 271. Flags at the back though. We might get a green and red here. I don’t think we’ve had one yet. Uh, actually, I don’t like chipping with a glove on. Leave a comment. Do you do you guys chip with gloves on or not? Lately, I haven’t been. Feel like just those field shots. So, I guess it’s probably me using the 54 degree a lot more. Um, especially, you know, 100 and 100 and sorry folks, I’m having a stroke. 100 and under. Um, just all kind of feel shots for me. So, get that 54 degree out again. Nice and dirty. Don’t clean your clubs. That’s just silly. Um, uh, all right. We’ve probably got like an 80 shot roughly. I think I’m stroking out. All right, we got an 80 shot back of the green. Being short uphill part, but pin high here is really, really, really good. I’m yanking everything left again. Oh no. And it got a fat kick left. Hang around, folks. Sit. Sit. Straight at it. All right. First putt made. First par made. That’s a good recovery after a triple. Kangaroo. [ __ ] Kangaroo. Cookabara. Cam. Holy [ __ ] All right, back to the golf. Drew it. Left again. Get up. All right. Little bit soft on it. Going to have an uphill part. But come on. Come on. Come on. A pretty close. We gave it a really good look. Ah, another bogue. So, we’re seven over now. Some work to do. Didn’t start over the blue tree. I’m hoping it’s not too long. Those boys are just there. Whoops. I didn’t know they was still [ __ ] there. It’s all right. I’ve driven it over their [ __ ] heads any Why do I keep swearing? Driven over their heads anyway. They say it’s a sign of intelligence. Swearing. Um. All right. Good drive. Got about 220 odd left to the to the flag. I’ve got my four hybrid here. Uh dark speed cobra. I just got it cuz I liked it. Never been fitted for clubs in my life. Okay. Anywhere over this right side bunker is good. Pulled it left again. Be a chip. It’ll be a nice chip location. It won’t be too bad. Okay. If you made it this far in the video, especially with how terrible I’ve been playing, but feel free to leave a like, a comment on uh how I could be better at golf, cuz I need it. Um yeah, so what are we now? We are on the 16th par five or seven over. Definitely got a lot of work to do to break 80, that’s for sure. Um yeah, thanks for watching. If there’s any coaches watching that have got some tips for me that feel free to uh you know, leave a comment, DM me on Insta, whatever, hit me up with some tips cuz at the moment I’m struggling just a little bit. There’s definitely a good swing there, but uh struggling to find it at the moment. Tournament tomorrow. All right, I’ll stop talking to you now. We’re nearly at the ball. Look, we’re on the green. It’s above the hole. It’s not where I want it to be, but do you see how I yanked that left? I don’t know. I think I’m just kind of upper body in today. But we’re on the green and we’re putting simmer. Simmer. Simmer. Simmer. Simmer. Simmer. Simmer. It’s not too bad. Gives me like a foot and a half for par. All right. Little earwigs everywhere. This one’s straight at the hole. We don’t miss these ones. All right. Nice par. Onto the next seven over. All right. All right. [ __ ] hell. Hole 17. Bit of my nemesis really. No matter how good I drive this hole, I always seem to struggle around the green. The green is quite difficult anyway, but um just seem to have a pretty [ __ ] pretty [ __ ] short game. Pretty [ __ ] short game around this green. Uh so we just want to pretty much essentially take it probably just outside left of that tree and have a little fade in. [ __ ] Come on. Get down. Oh, sit a bit. That’ll be good. Middle of the fairway. I got a long one. Oh, sit. Please. Oh, it’s just before the bloody car path. I yanked it left again. I can’t wait to rewatch that. Please be good. Maybe sit. Get in. Oh, that would have been an amazing bogey. Even double from there is pretty good. What’s that? Seven. We’re at N. Nine over. Going into our ninth hole. Trying to keep the positivity here. Straight over that tree. Pretty much at the green. Long ball. Give us a wedge on. What the [ __ ] is that? Dead straight. About 400 m in the air. I hate this [ __ ] tea. I’m not one to normally blame the equipment, but I hate having a ball that teed that high. Oh, [ __ ] sake. Might be in play still. This might be a white. It’s about as good as I can do. It’s really not too bad. She’s on the grain. [ __ ] yeah. Straight over to that nine fairway. That is beautiful. [ __ ] Oh, that’s pretty good. I should really pick this ball up and clean it, but I’m not going to. This is for Bogue. You’re such a [ __ ] with Look, it’s straight. Get through. Figured I’d film some nature considering the Gulf is so [ __ ] Oh, that’s pretty, isn’t it? Yeah. All good. [ __ ] nice and pretty, eh? Sprinklers are out. [ __ ] looks nice. Hey, anything’s better than this golf. I should stop being so hard on myself or yelling into the camera practically right now. Wedge this on. No stress. Greens keepers do an amazing job here by the way. They put in a shitload of work. And you can tell because the fairways are looking mint. So is the greens. All right. See you when I make this chip. Thanks. Not too bad. Greeners liked it. No, I won’t take a par, I guess. M these these greens are looking nice. Very very nice. Keep up the good work, boys. And then I’ve hit an inch behind the ball. I [ __ ] love golf. Eh. Again. Leave a comment if you can guess which club this is. I bet you you can’t. What club are you using from about 30 out? 30 m. [ __ ] Raz. Not bad. Pton. Another bogey. Don’t draw that much. And I definitely hit down. [ __ ] I’ve just peeed that dead straight. And I was aiming there, too. That’s long. I hit it. Nice. [ __ ] That’s it. Got bugs all over the green at the moment. Little little earwigs. Let’s go. Break. Bogey. Stupid bogey. Really from where it was. I didn’t hit it very well, but it’s going to be perfect. All right. [ __ ] If I say all right, one more time I start these one of these videos. I’m gonna say just something random every time instead of that. All right, pickle. I just said ignore that. All right, I got to 150 to the flag. Eight iron sounded good. Went left. I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. This is going in. I’ve had enough. This in for bird. Watch this [ __ ] That would have been I even called it too. I was just thinking. Uh what do you guys what do you guys do on the course when you’re having a bad time mentally? Even if you’re playing by yourself or um Jesus, what a [ __ ] head on this bloke. Um if you’re playing by yourself, you’re having a bad day, leave a comment. Let us know, you know, how you guys keep yourself in high spirits. You know, some people hit the piss, some people frisbee a club. I love a good club frisbeeing. Just hurts when you break a club worth more than your golf game, which to be honest with me, it’s my golf game’s probably like I don’t know, probably get some change out of 20 bucks. Oh my god. That’s going to get really far down there. But let’s just say if there was a kangaroo in front of that ball, its head would have exploded. That would have been a crazy video. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Maybe if I hit it. These putts are quite nice though. Shout out to JD for um giving me a little pointer on uh my putting cuz I didn’t realize until I started filming how bad my putting setup was. Jesus. Um another par. Yeah. So obviously if you’ve seen any of my other videos you would have seen like this this setup. Like I would have been like this. So I would sit up like this and it would feel like I would look like this. But I was like like that and it just looked cooked. But it was working so I didn’t care. But um changing it now it’s just it’s hell of a lot better. Standing over. I can see my line better. Everything. I have smashed that. Best drive all day. Where the [ __ ] tea go? That’s meant to stop the tea. Oh well. Oh no. No. No. No. No. No. Sh. Oh. Oh. I think we just got so lucky. Oh, please be in front. Get up. That was almost good. I think I need to hit it a bit lower. [ __ ] bug. [ __ ] I should have just wiped it off. This be a nice power. Look at that. That’s a nice path. All right, two holes to go. Let’s go. that’s got to sit. It’s over the back. Okay. Yeah. Sick. All right. That’s a double if I put this. All right. Double bug 16. We’re We’re literally at 18. We need a birdie the last. And it’s not an easy hole. Okay guys, you’ve made it to the last hole with me. Uh, appreciate you guys watching and kind of struggling with me here. We’re at 18 over. We need a birdie this last hole just to break 90. Um, I’ve completely forgotten what I was going to say. I’ve got a four iron. Just going to try and get it down there nicely. We leave ourselves about 130 140 in. Uh yeah, feel free to show a little bit of support for the video. Leave a like, subscribe, comment, whatever you want. Yell at me, tell me I’m [ __ ] It’s all good. It’s all good. All right. Bloody beautiful. Ah, cop the right side of the hill. Have a chip up. What a shot. 890. Anyway, get in. Okay, guys. Sorry for the lawn mower in the background. Thanks for watching. What do we shoot? All right. All done and dusted. Bit of an anticlimatic finish. Needed the birdie at the end to uh to break the 90. Didn’t get it. Obviously, I didn’t bother trying at the end um after that bad chip for the bird. Um but yeah, didn’t expect much from myself today, but I expected more. But um I’m glad I came out and filmed. You guys got something to watch. Hope you enjoy it. And um yeah, leave some leave a comment with uh some ideas on what else I can do next. Uh that’s it. Thanks for watching.
