Charlie’s back in the heart of The Beach, and taking on one of the Grand Strand’s premier designs. It’s “The Big Timer” vs. the par-5 13th at Grande Dunes Resort Course: who has the edge in this matchup? Tune in to find out!

Cancer knocked me down but not out now I’m cancer free the recovery it’s been tough I’ll need patience a lot of humor somebody clapped I heard them and support from friends and family over the last 2 years haven’t played much golf but there’s no better place to get back

In the game than on 66 courses in Myrtle Beach South Carolina we’re keeping score but just teeing it up means I’ve already won that’s why call me the big timer join me on my journey to break [Applause] Park par fivs are usually great opportunities but it’s hard to argue with a par on this one the 13th really Demands a well-placed t-shot to manage the force carry on the second then it’s an uphill shot from there with an elevated green guarded by that big front

Left bunker let’s see if we can conquer this one with a solid birdie today we are smack dab in the middle of Myrtle Beach this is the Grand Dunes Resort course and uh it is centrally located this a golf course has been ranked among the top 100 public golf courses in the

Entire country and let me tell you what after some recent Renovations the golf course and upgrades to the clubhouse this is a premier facility this is a 13th hole it’s a par five Place sort of straight away it’s got some width to it this hole is getable and I’m feeling it

Today I got it covered I got it covered like a rat on a Cheeto yes that’s fine who doesn’t like Cheetos I tell you what I’ve learned though flaming hot Cheetos they’re really good but don’t pick your nose after you’ve been eating them M no sir that ain’t no good at all

This is my first oil of the day and I didn’t do so good with it takes me a little while to warm up well that one’s going to be a little out of range I got to carry some water here I’m going to go with the old truck Rusty

Fivewood a lot of people like that hybrid I got to tell you I wouldn’t kill a snake with a hybrid gety up baby oh yeah we’re cooking with grease now see hybrids they go high and left and they bounce off a houses that’s not good for your handicap all right let’s get after

Boys actually had one of the first hybrids I ever saw there’s a company from Japan called PR gr that thing looked like a big peanut on the end of a stick and I did this thing down this South Florida and I was playing golf with Greg

Norman and I hit it a few times and he’s like Charlie what is it what is that it’s a peanut on a stick and uh I said Greg it’s a new kind of Club it’s going to kill it and uh he said let me hit it a few

Times so he grabbed it this is Greg Norman we talking about the shock he hit it a few times cuz this is the worst Club I’ve ever seen in my life nobody’s ever going to buy a club like this he’s like what do they call it I

Said a hybrid he goes that’ll never work shark you were wrong I think they sold a few of those we got a little de we got a little dirt on that golf ball none of that bothers me though be right baby maybe some of that bothered me a little bit see I

Had a little dirt water supposed to fill up the grooves take the spin off go farther it just didn’t I really don’t know what’s in a Cheeto I mean a cheese puff which is what my drive was like there used to hit a driver and it would crack now

It sounds like a cheese puff the cheese Puff’s like air well what’s the rest of it I think cheese puffs are fried and Cheetos are baked that’s why I go with the Cheetos cuz they’re baked I’m a baked kind of guy y’all check this out it’s a sort of

A magical time of day hey if you got those cameras on I love it when the do’s out ah thought I hit my wedge pretty good there see if we can get lucky let’s see if we can get lucky oh that felt good for a long ways

Right there that’s was ugly paw right there but bars aren’t ever bad not bad at all actually now we’re off to the next stop headed just around the corner for a trip around the World
