And we got a little There’s a little shield somewhere. Who’s got that? I’m in possession of that at the minute. At the minute. Correct. Choice of words. Here we go. First T. Big dogs. Take them onto the team. Going first. See it. Breakfast balls a play or what? Absolutely not. our breakfast balls at the open. No mullies, no free off the TE’s. We’ll just drop where it goes. Um, and it’s got to be two goods on the green. Two good goods. Oh, wow. Sat your hand. Conservative for the first. I like actually like that play. Don’t worry, man. I’m with you. Can’t miss the fairway. Just do it, mate. Play your game. Play your game, Rob. You just focus on you, mate. Yeah. And I got 55 gig, so hurry up. They’re in play at the minute. No, then you’re into a 30 mph windm. If you hit them, wait, I I actually want you to hit them if you can. I’ll buy you a nice top from the clubhouse. First shot of the open. Reset. Reset. Sun goes down at seven. Sorry, mate. Oh, he’s a belter straight away. Eddie, look at him. Great shot, Robbie. Yeah, that’ll do you, mate. Is that in the fair? Great shot. Is that in the fair way? It is. Oh, someone’s going about to change his mind. Oh, it’s going a little bit right. I wanted that short. I think that’ll be short of the red stakes. Didn’t see it down at all, mate. Of course. Yeah. Shot straight in that bunker maybe. Hopefully. No, it’s right in it. Yeah. Shot, mate. Should be a driver in now, is it? What? Do Yeah. Absolutely zero pressure on this loop, by the way. There’s a none. Come back. Come back. Come on. Kill it a bit. It’s in those dunes. It’s a good hit though. Right. I’ve had three and I’m off the back of the green. Tom is just front left. Rob’s had two. He’s got one more into the green. I think Chris is having a bit of a first. See what Roberto can come with some magic here. Looks good. Short. A little bit short. Bad chip, mate. All right. Looks really good that Luke. Go on. Great effort. Cheers. Stop down. Whoa. Whacked it. Whacked it. Whoa. Flag out. Yes, please, mate. [ __ ] tap that then go, didn’t they? Come on. Six for me. Bit of an adventurous one. Good roll, mate. Good roll. Six as well. Yeah. Yeah. That’s good. Six as well. Is it four foot four whack? Hate to see it. I thought I was waiting for someone to say I was good to be honest, but obviously you not [ __ ] you. That’s why I didn’t. That’s gone already. This is Chris’s drive on the second par five. I am just there. And Rob, he’s uh pretty he’s pretty pleased with that. I see a three-wood is out over there. Yeah, he needs a needs a good rescue here. It’s a chippy one. Oh, where did that go? into the longer roof. I don’t have to go for it. All right. In that in the bottom there, it’s sand. Is it? So, you might be all right. That’s where wasteland. Yeah. It’s been a nightmare in that. Every time you got me on camera, I’ve sliced it. Every time you not been on camera, you’ve duffed it. Rob’s trying to gain half a foot. Yeah, that’s all right. He needs it. Get round. Might be okay though. Might be okay. Yeah, a bit of a scrappy start so far. Lots of big numbers, boys. I’ll be feeling three down. Yeah, it’s hard. Hard. Welcome to the links courses, boys. Yeah, man. Humbled. My handicap’s too high for this. Too high. Too low. Hard work. But there we go. Going to give it some. Could do with you losing a couple of balls if you don’t mind. Okay. Want to do that now or in a bit? N will be good. Might have just done that. I can see it bounce. That’s all right. It’s very right. But I’ve got it. I got it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [Laughter] Bit left. Should be fine though. I think it opens up around there. Can’t even see it now. Not really a good uh display of golf here, is it? Not yet. There you go. Should be fine. That do you want to come through, mate? Yeah, I see it bouncing. Chris, you’re just on the right side of the fairway in the rough now. All right. You’re up there. It’s up to you. You can have your second from there or your third from here. Might be better off hitting your third. Yeah. Did you want to come through? Take that. All right. Well, we’re going to come through, I think. Are you sure? Yeah. Nice shot, mate. We’re out. We’re out. Turn. Good. All right. Okay, boys. Right then. First power three on the front nine. It’s the only power three on the front nine. Actually, we got Was it 110 to the middle? Yeah. 110. Horrible wind, isn’t it? Horrible. Looks really good. Luke, is really good. Get over that bunker. Oh, stop. Go down here. Stop. Oh, here she comes. How far though? Stop there. Look at her. No. As long as it’s not in the bunker. That’s all right. I’ve listened to clear and I’ve gone with a pinching wedge. So, this be really fast. It’s just a good strike. Great strike, mate. Too good. All right. The sun’s come out. Needs to start shining on our golf game a bit. A [ __ ] missile. [ __ ] missile. Yes, Tommy. He’s trying a bit. Managed to slice one onto the green. Fair play. An unreal power would be Get up. Get up. Get up. Go in. Go in. [Laughter] I got to try and replicate that. I’m here for it. How the [ __ ] have you managed that? When you got it, you’ve got it. I just need to get up there. Got to go. It’s got to go. Go, go, go, go, go. Safe. It’s safe. Safe. I’m going to go mark it. Quick, quick, quick. Not a bad roll, Rob. Not a bad roll. No way. Not doing anything for us. You want to start speaking in your back swing soon? That’s what we got to do. Yeah. Waiting for Rob. I have something very important to say or good. Cheers, boys. Cheeky B. Well done. Well done. Bit better lads. I think you might. Yeah. See if these boys can put a decent approach in here. Gone for the low runner. It’s coming. It’s coming. Go. It’s a really nice shot that to be fair. Yeah. Give him that. I think it’s a bit further away than we think from here, though. See if old Chris can do same. I’m better at them than flying it. Yeah. Oh, it’s not bad. It’s not bad at all. Shot. Lovely shot. Two different shots there. See, I I can’t do that. I’m better I’m better at bump and running than I am. I’ve run off the back here. Yeah. Okay. Love that, mate. Cheers for the triple. Oh, yes. Oh, snook. I feel the wind changing. But finally, very nice, lads. We got cars now. Relax a little bit. I absolutely love things like this. Look at this little walkway to the green. Unreal. Saen East is putting on quite the show for us. Right, I’ve got to play a shot from the next T through here. So, it should be quite interesting this one. We shall see. Come back off that. See? No, I think that’s all right, mate. Get up. Get up. I think that’s over that June. I think you’re on the green now, mate. Okay. So, after nine holes. Yeah. So, you get more on the after nine holes. I’m on 48, Tom is 53, and the lads are on 59. But with these handicaps, actually quite close. Yeah. Tom decides to turn up now. Got something to play for a he? He has. Still not a nice green though. Is that all right? It’s all right. What you at? Huh? What you at? You don’t know a driver that long. Stay in, man. That’s gone. Yeah, that’s long gone. Oh, I don’t know. Oh, yeah.

I’m going to go nine. There’s uphill and windy up there. Got the leg. Top deck, baby. Oh, that’s exactly where you wanted it. No, I think it’s stuck. I think it’s there. I’ll zoom in on that bad boy. Just there. Take that all day long. might be in the bunker. Up there. All bad. All bad. Big [ __ ] problem, pal. See you. That’s gone. You gonna get your steps in? Chuffed. It is. Look at him. [Music] Got so much slope to come up. [Music] Oh no. It’s shank. is shank to putter. You made your choice. I want to see it through. [Music] done unbelievably well. Good put. Oh, I’m very quiet, lads. Is that all right? Yeah, good. Oh, Chris, you made good. Um, and it’s got to be two goods on the green. Yeah. what two of us have to say anyway. Oh, no, no, no. We’ve gone past that. All it takes is just one. Uh, you were there. Yeah. No, you were there in front of it. In front of it. Yeah. Thanks for the good. Yeah, you’re good. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
