The Break Par Series is BACK! Dan Hendriksen & James Ruth are in Turkey at the beautiful Lykia Links. We will be attempted to break the par of 73, but we are playing off the black tees which plays 7,600 yards, the longest golf course I have ever come across. We hope you enjoy.

Big thanks to Kurt for taking the lead role in filming in my absence. It's not easy guys. He did a stellar job and improved on every hole.
Dan why are you gaming blades, why go back – your game with T100's looked promising. 3 iron – 200. I like to hear your thoughts…Proper par 4's and short Par 5's. Great Vlog.
I completely understand the fear of the big block. That's my big miss. My theory on the irons is Joe the pro has sabotaged them so he had better chance in the tournaments😂. As great of a golfer that James is I like how grounded and humble he is
James has got you figured out, Dan. Need to mash that driver. That said, the old dog chips it in with the 7 iron. Nice.
Shoes may need a bit of a lube Dan. Oil Can Dan.
Wish I could hit my PW as accurately as you hit your 5 wood!! What a wand….
Lovely course and great scoring but Dan those shoes must be annoying to wear lol
Although the course is obscene at 7600 yds I reckon it's relative. The ground is hard so lots of run, not saying it's easy. But 7600 yd course in the UK totally different ball game. Enjoying the game, James not playing like everyone knows he can and Dan is playing well although his mental demons reared their ugly head at times. I think if you look at James's game a Tour Pro and he is +2 I think most of us amateurs would expect to be at least 10 over handicap lol. Back 9 to go, can't wait, but alas have to😄
What a superb watch! Great course and some great golf, well done fellas, delightful 👍
Loving this vlog. A lot of talk about how long the course is but I think teaching pros should play courses of this length to help them appreciate how golf is for the average golfer. The monthly medal at Thai Country Club is played off the blues at 6520 yards. The average bogey golfer is playing the same clubs off the tees and into greens as Dan and James are hitting in this vlog. We don't expect to hit many greens because we are hitting long clubs in, a fairway bunker will generally cost us a shot as we can't reach from it. Most if not all par 5s aren't reachable in 2. A couple of par 4s require 2 Sunday best shots to reach. Players shouldn't be hitting driver shot iron or wedge into every green.
Goes to show how different a course plays off different tees. Great vlog. Dan does Paul know you borrowed his squeaky shoes?
Looks like a very nice golf course! I bet James will turn this around and beat par. Loved his reaction to the doublebogey on the first hole. Will try to learn from that☺️ How does he manage to create the speed he does? Unbelievable!
brutal course from the tips boys but some good scoring all things considered. Are those terrances shoes with the squeaks 😆?
Fair play gents for taking on that beast of a course way to long for my game and the greens looked every bit as hard to judge as well love listening and watching James play the game great player as are you dan what a chip in I actually cheered 😂
Interesting after your 3 D lesson I can see how fast your hands are compared to James, mind you it's not a course for slow hands. You're smoking the long shots regardless.
Some great golf played guys! What a long course😢 def think you guys can pull it off though 👍
What a beautiful golf course. Excellent vlog! James comments and tips are great. You both displayed quality golf. A pleasure to watch!!!
Great video and some quality golf. Good to hear James’ tips and thoughts on the way round.
I thought you played really well Dan despite suffering from a lack of confidence. As always love to see James on the channel.
Great golf guys, bring James along to one of the DHG 'v' GD Matches ⛳
That 5th hole what a variations of shots, length and outcomes. Golf is bonkers lol
Which golf clubs is James gaming now?
Very enjoyable to watch. I thought James played much better than his score showed, he just couldn't buy a putt. That's golf.
Before they've teed-off and already concerned that Dan can't add 10% on the hole distance for the yardage conversion but I'm looking forward to the golf to follow 👍
And there was some great golf!
Great job Kurt and some stunning play from dan so far
Well played Dan great golf. James is brilliant, be good to see a lot more of him on the channel.
Dan, you really could have been 3, even 4 under after 5. It's the best golf you've played in at least 3 years.
Awesome, if James has new clubs & changed brands , you need to a whats in the bag with him
That 5 wood, damn!!! Cracking shots from both of you
Hey Dan & Co, what’s with all these “message me on telegram, you’ve won a prize” replies I keep getting to comments. Account been hacked or just spam?
Great additional info from James. Nice change on the vlog rather than just banter.
Hey Dan I was just wondering did James Ruth switch from Titleist to Mizuno? I recently got fitted from Mizuno P.W. thru 7 Iron are the 221 and the rest of the Clubs are 223 Absolutely Love Them but I did notice a difference in head wait between my T100 and the Mizuno irons had to spend a lot of time on the Range trying to figure the head wait out
Good video, just worked out my 8.9 index equates to 17 shots from the back tees!! 😳😳😳 Long course!!!
Man, that looks awesome – Mediterranean Golf ! I need somebody to turn off the snow storms and press the start button for Spring. This winter is forever long – thanks for the visual reprieve! Appreciated.
A quality golf course but scary long off the tees you and James are using.
I love the inclusion of the Shot Scope yardages and corresponding club options for each shot. For me it adds an element to the shot selection process each of you talk through. Well played, boys! Cheers 🍻
Dan – you said in video you have gone back to blades ?? Can u give us a WITB please ? I have played blades all my life but just ordered t100s . Not the best golfer in the world but have always found the shape and feel of blades better suited to my game – hope I get on with the Titleist though
Lykia Links is such a great course in Belek. So different then all the other courses in Belek. If you are going on a trip to Belek, try playing Lykia………not from the tips….🤠🤛 great vlog Guys!
That chip-in Dan! 😍
Great vid.
👍 Looks superb, but looong
Walking. Talking. Thinking. Placing cameras, some more talking, a LOAD more walking (crikey what a golf course) all while smacking killer tee shots and playing, really, quite well. And all in probably fairly decent temperatures. The work rate you guys show is just phenomenal. You deserve everything this channel can deliver for you.
