Oh that’s looking really good could be a hole in one camera the challenge is simple you get 30 shots to get round nine holes of a golf course and today we have a new competitor Mr Chris Ryan welcome to the challenge I’m excited thank you for coming on have you do you
Know what the challenge is I do know what the challenge is yeah I’ve I’ve got my excuses lined up ready so I’m good I don’t know the golf course don’t know for like 5 years but don’t yeah I’m excited so we’re down at the forest of Arden which is where Chris coaches and
You film a lot of your content here don’t yeah I do this is where I do kind of most of my work really 80% of the time is here brilliant there’s a championship course and this is the alsford yeah you got the Arden course over there this is the asford which is
Kind of the members course a little bit shorter which I think is why we’ve chosen it is why we’re on here it’s 2,870 yards on the back now and it’s a par 35 how far with 30 shots do you think you’re getting round this golf course 35
It’s going to be somewhere I’d like to I’d like to hit a shot on eight you’d like to hit a shot on eight so teing off on eight yeah is that realistic yeah you you’re a bit of a player because you haven’t seen Chris very very um coach
Based stuff but he’s got sneaky speed and he can play keeping it under WRA I like that I was going to say I reckon you get halfway through eight today halfway through eight I think it’s a path three isn’t it yeah but it’s winry conditions I can feel a bit wind picking
Up I’m not that warmed up told you I’ve got a listen in the pocket I think yeah I fancy finishing eight today it’s uh it’s been going up and down for me at the moment but teeing off on eight for you finish eight for me I like it all
The best do it one of them oh one of them nearly golfed it then nearly golfed it guys comment down below who’s getting where see you on the first so we’re on H one guys before we get stuck into this challenge though do make sure you hit the Subscribe button down there head
Over to Chris’s Channel as well give him a little subscribe Hull one Chris Par three 157 Ys to that flag what are we going with I’m I’m going to go with a little eight to begin with early morning playing a little bit uphill how far is
Your like stock 7 iron go so stock 79 is’s in the region of like 185 normally nice will it go that far in the cold English I mean it’s not that much Breeze but it’s bit cool it’s up in a little bit so yeah I mean what what you
Thinking about par three toight is that a good thing or a bad thing I think it’s good it’s one of those like it changes your mindset this challenge but like at the end of the day you’ve got 30 shots so whether it’s a four or a five you
Still got to get through them or a three it might be a five on this one yeah regardless of what it says on the card it’s a five right play well and you m enjoy this challenge I noticed you haven’t got a club yet have you you’re
Going to try and see where where I going then I’m in between seven and eight lovely strike got to go climb a bit climb oh oh trap I reckon that was a a bigger eight than I hit then I know it’s only looking tiny uphill but it feels like it’s
Playing maybe like five yards extra up the hill it all apped into whatever Breeze there is so that’s probably playing like 170 to probably took a bit too much off mine there probably 180 back isn’t it right I’m going to go a little 7 iron see if we can put a golf
Swing on it oh that’s looking really good could be a hole in one in one camera oh mate how good’s that we come down to Birmingham more often it’s great down here impressive glad you went first there cuz I was thinking all along can
Can this not be a team event can we not play like yeah team scramble team scramble there’s a little bit off the left Matt’s bag is definitely higher than the flag so if I can just go like a couple of feet left a bit spin on the
Ball to the right but I’ve got to carry it quite a long way cuz it’s obviously pretty soft out here so try and carry it probably at least 90% of the way go go oh just grabbed on you yeah I just stopped very well played stopped
Look at that rake’s hiding are you a uh a flag in or flag out still flag out good yeah yeah it’s the right answer we do no gimmies as well unfortunately no gimmies yeah we’re we’re stingy up north stingy up north you’re in the Midland today is it change as you come down
South yeah this is basically tropical down here come on Chris knock it in just jumped on you a little bit right bit of right to left in M inside the hole or outside the hole just on the edge okay just on the edge it should hopefully actually standing over don’t
Feel that much one of those cuz they’ve just had a little T to them do you go bold you’re second you doubt yourself now you compl a minute ago I’ve got it though I’ve got it a beautiful we’ll take a two at the start you have definitely played this
Game before that massively helps the campaign means I can have a slice or two now you can play 15 holes at this pace if you’re going to make it the the boldest shout is uh Carter said he’s going to get to 10 how far are you
Getting 10th hole and was it six he bowed out on oh okay it’s cuz he’s rubbish well done sir oh two back already two back right scores are two and four 28 left for me 26 left for Chris off we go flag is kind of behind those right normally in the summer yeah
You only have to hit something over that post and it’ll run down the Fairway right but it’s pretty wet here so there’s a good chance you’re going to end up on a on a down slope so our flag is over probably close to the v in those
Trees there it’s quite a big one and you can you hit driver what’s I mean mean you can cuz it’s 336 yeah you’ve probably got your driver you hit it over there and if you don’t see it in the Fairway yeah don’t really know kind of
Where it is uh in fact I if you can see the green no I think that that bunkers for a different hole yeah so yeah it is kind of through that V oh yeah I can see it here yeah you got it yeah I think so
Like the edge I can see the next T behind like the little bin and stuff then looks like that could be for this one all right okay so it’s probably just the right of that so what are you hitting then so I’m going to go I mean
It’s 340 so I’m going to I’m probably going to go four iron it’s weird cuz that post there as you look at it now is this does the Fairway drop below CU that a bush and then it drops you don’t you do not want to go over that post you do
Not no no you want to go left of it you want to go left of it yeah so I’m going to go for iron yeah and I’m probably going to go kind of over this big tree right maybe just right half of it tricky here 11 hole only 330 but that’s the
Beauty of these courses I find like it’s short on yardage but straight away I’m still there going where do I go and I’m already doubting what I’m about to do yeah so it’s put doubt in your mind and you don’t play good golf with doubt do you well especially as the conditions
Change from like summer to Winter like even the members will probably stand in this hole and not be sure what the line is cuz it changes like I in the summer you’ve only got to go over the post and it’ll just run down to the bottom of the
Fairway so does it do yeah it goes goes like like this like a a ski slope right so you’ve going to you’re going to have to carry it a bit further than normal cuz you’re not going to get the roll but over the corner of the tree is good yeah
Middle of the tree I think you’d be okay yeah what you going with four yeah you’d be okay there I mean you’re squeezing everything every little bit of yardage out of this one aren’t you got to got to it’s winter oh no is that alive you’re fine yeah you’re
Fine you might be just in the right rof but you’re fine have you seen a worst golf swing than that or several just not today you going four iron as well I am going four RS well same line as you just with a draw well
Yeah and not a a low heel strike well do you that’s my that’s my Miss at the moment so yeah wouldn’t surprise me if I’m I’m following you so I’m I’m going to go same line as you kind of over the tree right side and hopefully I’ll be on
That somewhere on that down slope oh it’s p that’s really good great shot should be good well struck sir well this is different Chris I’ve got 180 yards here I reckon you’re going to have about 130 I guess strike is King strike is King you’re in the fair if you let’s going in
The Fairway you got to be doing something right right 180 sort of downhill it’s difficult isn’t it it looks probably fairly level isn’t it yeah kind of goes down then back up quite small Greens in this course as well yeah I was going to say it’s tiny
Yeah they’re not they’re not the biggest greens so warranting a little bit of a a right to left chaser with a 7 ey in this I think well we know what this 7 ey can do yeah hopefully it does similar wind’s off the right send it up the right and let it
Turn there’s the push stand push right distance just wrong direction yeah I mean that’s a pretty good Miss really yeah pretty straightforward chip from there depending on the LIE in the winter it’s not a bad it’s not a bad miss that is it we’ll take it tough as
That downst isn’t it bit Moody down slope yeah it’ll do what are we looking at here 133 perfect I reckon I’m I’m a little bit of a down slope as well yeah so if you can get to the flat bit it’s great but it’s hard in the winter it’s I would
Literally if I went back and played this hole now I would have driver out here all day and smash smash it yeah just the rough element a little thing but you know what I think if you hit driver and land in the rough yeah that’s plugging you’ll never finding that ball don’t you
I reckon you’d be walking around there for that’s the only problem in summer yeah it’s driver all day long and it’s just pick a line should have sent a spotter down need a four Cy so I’ve got pitching wedge little draw would you try and shape all your irons I’m similar to
You like I’m a right player I always have been but I actually feel like now I play golf trying to fade it and I never hit fade yeah but to me that just keeps me more kind of stops it from over shaping I mean you look at the t-shirt
On the first that’s my typical kind of start line drifts over so if I don’t sort of try and work against it it can just get away from me really oh be the number be the number get in the hole oh great shot thank you just that little
Drawer told you everyone that I was trying not to hit yeah leave us a little like if you think um Chris is a sneaky player few little shots that are given us a sign that that bogey was I think to lead us into a false sense of security
Now he’s just going to go wild birdies Birds okay we’ve missed pin High we’ve got a pretty straightforward ship just got to get it about five or 6 ft onto the green and just let it run out here it’s just cuz it’s the deepest parts of winter it’s all about contact
On these shorter shots so not trying to do anything over flamboyant just fudge it forwards bold very bold Matthew oh dear right ladies and gents after old hammerfist got involved with the chipping I’ve now left myself with a very very long put for par always find that in Winter just
To get a little bit heavy just trying to make sure I get the contact but let’s see what we can do a good putt will save it all that was woful that was very very bad MTH you very bad good five Matt have you played the game before blind holes are horrible
Though you don’t know where you’re going even if someone tells you the line it’s so hard to commit isn’t it think this Chris here he’s going to have me off it’s the same as in ha t- shots when you’re right into the sun it’s so hard
Isn’t it that commit to it right Chris come on let’s at least see some decent golf down this hole stay up Oh run out of legs maybe it’s the front hole just but yeah well you’ll be happy to know that I’ve had seven shots and you have had eight shots so you’ve closed the Gap there straight away I’d be happy with that if it was a par four par four yeah
It was a par three Par Four it’s okay it’s okay I’ve actually had seven yeah right on to the next par three need to redeem ourselves very quickly here our third hole is a par three is 189 yard to the flag it looks Christ it shorts no good obviously big bunkers is gobbling
Everything up look like pin High left’s a good Miss maybe bring it doesn’t suit the drawer I would say this one’s more faders hole Yeah I mean it’s interesting cuz I play right to left always have done yeah and I see everything left to
Right I just can’t hit it I kind of see this up the left I always trying to hit that and I just can’t hit it but yeah so it’s definitely a left to right is the shot to get close but I’m not great at right what club have you got I’ve got five
Iron nearly a fade it’s three yards left stra Dancing Yeah so that’s kind of like that’s I’m not trying to go that far left but that’s I’m sort happy about really I’ve a left the flag him on the green it’s not a bad shot probably half a club shot right good strike little
Fade off Chris’s ball in between the flag and Chris’s ball I feel need to make a two really here to keep at your par three record yeah just to have any chance I feel like you need to be like one or two under through three but there
There’s bird is on this course that’s the see that’s the thing with this challenge you just start thinking strange things yeah you don’t do what you normally would do oh get ahead of bit more Matt you can tell I’ve not warmed up today okay that was rubbish so we pulled
Up just shy of the Trap actually in between them just got to go over it need need to up and down this just luckily I’ve got a bit of a dark patch of grass that’s a really good landing spot for me so we can go with
That it’s a great shot mate we’ll take that checked up nicely should hopefully have a little Tapp in track out track out track out I’m trying to do but I haven’t got the haven’t got the confidence to do it yet I’m looking at the hole on a put all
The from that distance yeah but so when I do it on the putting green I’m way better but I can’t trust it on the course just I just think I’m going to miss it so I kind of just go through a whole routine and then when I’m about to
Just look at the hole why’d you do that just for feel just yeah and when I’ve done it I definitely feel like I missed the middle a little bit more but I’m always closer but you put a camera on Me on the course I’m looking at the board
All day long head down don’t lift it don’t lift it so maybe at some point it’ll come out in the course but two little squiggly wigglies to tide us in here come on knock it in move on job done woo lap of Honor lap of honor of
Honor that went in cuz that was going 8T by that that was much needed that was much needed is this going to be a luck or no luck this is going to be look at the ball I say I’m not I’m not confident doing it on the course yet it’s all
Right in the putting green but well done good two put from there sir it’s funny you say that cuz like one of the things I would teach with putting to all my students is like I just get them to roll balls looking you know yeah
You know if it was the edge of the green just looking at it and when you get someone with a putter in hand and you say is you’re doing your practice stroke just look at where you’re going this struggle yeah but once you get it like
Even if you were just knocking a ball to your mate you’d go pick that up for us yeah there you go well one of the things I noticed about my putting is if I went and played and went on the Ping green yeah for like 10 minutes I’d hold a
Couple of 20 Footers and I could play 10 rounds of golf and not hold one and I get for me I get really quite deliberate and almost like think too much so when I look at the hole I just tend to but I just can’t trust it yet it’s interesting
Interesting isn’t it how it all works right Chris I’ve had 10 you’ve had 11 yes play three holes how you finding the challenge I now know exactly how they feel on the first T Rica really yeah I know exactly how they feel it’s nerve-wracking it’s here in front of you
You’re watching the cameras on it’s yeah different is it it’s good it’s exciting does it make you think differently about your game are you like one shot at a time is obviously the like the motel we would preach to students but here you’ve got literally 30 and then you’re
Checking out I’m not sure I’ve not figured out whether it’s good to just play safe and and kind of keep the bogus to a minimum or whether it’s good to be aggressive and kind of what you can do I’ll figure I’ll probably figure out later when I’m off the course but I’m
Approach at the moment is steady which is which is why I’ve Got No driv 3 370 this one power four you were saying there’s some water we’ve got to be careful of at 250 was it yeah there’s a ditch that runs out so the end of the Fairway is 250 and then you’ve
Got kind of a little ditch and a couple of trees and you’re going to have in the region 100 yards 120 yards from there so I’m going to go four R just to lay it back so all right go well my friend you’ve got 19 left 19 it sounds a lot
Doesn’t it it does it doesn’t when you think you go you’ve got 19 left but you’ve also got five holes to play ooh yeah that’s not oh no we’ve got six holes to play sorry you’ve got six play now it changes your mindset yeah they
Should do this on the PJ tour just give them 30 shots and when they’re done they’re off could be done yeah would have 22-hour rounds then great yeah oh it’s going to be okay that’s a fade yeah well is it a fade if it finishes
Right at Target or is it is it something else begin with a SL licey weissy we’ll call it a push fade yeah right come on that tree with a little cut the pine tree yeah that’s perfect get a swing on it Matthew it’s going to be perfect little
Bit chop cut but it do it’ll do by sort of looking at the card you think yeah 30 shots I’ll get that I’ll get that ripped off quickly it’s cold it’s soft as why now inste of hitting a 79 into a par4 that’s 370 I just thought it would be
Smash and uh Smash and grab as well it’s quite very well laid out with its its features exactly cuz essenti to say you can’t hit it another 40 yards up there no cuz you get have to kind of shap it around so you have to kind of lay back a
Little bit it makes it play a little longer and the ball the ball definitely doesn’t fly as it’s stopping as soon at least 50 yards isn’t it yeah right 176 to the flag I’m going to hit a little draw s iron embrace my inner child and hit my stron handed
Hook I mean it’s a draw fade yeah I think that’s good though that’s kind of where you want to be cuz I’m pretty sure that flag’s on the left so that’s right that’s where you want to be hitting it I hit it nice so I can’t do much more than
That that flag’s quite long way on the left so you’re is it you’re perfect really looks just shy of pin High mine got eight yeah it’s 166 yeah I think that’s a good number get down the hand a little bit Ah so bad so bad seen it right the Trap you see it
Land yeah I think I saw it yeah just right to the Trap chip in solves everything Chris I’ve got to find it first that might have been a good 30 yards right of where I was trying to hit it in the drink I couldn’t see it from
Where I was but I knew it was right at this bunker so it’s uh ended up in the water so it’s a drop it’s a wasted shot so I’m now playing one two three and not playing four so really could do with a good shot here to give myself a
Little TA in for for a bogey so I’m going to go pitch and wedge back in the stance try and kind of drive one forward see get to release out go on then go on great shot okay might save a five when I used to play junior golf the
Markers were like half a fingernail nowadays they’re like I know a dinner plate they’re like this big they’re about 5 mil deep those little um fluorescent ones you used to get used to get one in the glove the GL little foot joy that was the size of a pin head do
You remember you you put it down in the winter and you tap it down like that it stick to the Bott of your putter you go walk off with it oh brilliant the good old Junior days everyone talks about technology and Driver it’s ball markers really really technological advancements right I’ve
Got about 35 ft here up the hill a little bit left to right I actually pitched up at Pin High really yeah pitched up with yeah just a flush of chis you know you are yeah absolutely nothing to do with slightly soft Greens in it being winter is that a Bata you’ve
Dug out yeah the old B A it just jumped on you it’s they’ve just had little tin in it’s only been done today so they they like got little lips on aren’t they oh that looks bloody good as well it’s a silly game golf it
Is yeah right we have a have a tapping session can I just check the rules as well you said to me this was 30 shots yes you didn’t say 30 shots plus penalty shots did you I’m trying to getch te technically enough would you include it as stroke on
A stroke play yes no so what what are you there for now then you’ve had four You’ hit four yeah with that well hit three hit three but had a penalty hand hand wedge can can I have a little asteris by my score yeah Chris Ryan penalty drop wasn’t his fault be like
The um the Top Gear did it in the wet we should have did it in the wet today win winter winter weather slightly moist sunny conditions bouncing Fairways right come on Tidy Up you tidy up it’s those greens there greens that went at a right
Angle as soon as it hit that bubble that is twice it’s done me on this one hole it tried to go as well then well I can’t work out whether yours swung a bit right or whether it just b a bit it was a tiny bit left to right but it just hit
A bubble and went straight straight right at ferocious pace oh dear oh dear oh dear I I was stood over that thinking like how’s Chris walking off with the same shots as me I’ve not played this game before but I’m guessing doubles aren’t great doubles aren’t great for the 30 shot challenge
Neither are bogies a six and a five there racks are totals up to what you see just down here I might end up having to caddy for you for the last couple hours that’s generally the rule as well the hidden rule when you’re out your caddy yeah so Chris we have now played
Four holes for those that don’t know you and may not know you after this tell us a little bit about your channel and and what is Chris Ryan golf in a nutshell so so my channel is essentially golf coaching it’s it’s the the simple mission is I want to help people play
Better Golf and enjoy it more and to me they’re not the same yeah cuz I think you can enjoy the game better and not actually shoot lower scores so it’s all about just getting people to hit it better hit it more solid understand their goal sing a little bit more
Because I think there’s a we’re in an age now where people are using more online platforms yeah so I think it’s our job as a coach to not only give tips and advice but help people kind of self diagnose a little bit so they’re not fixing the wrong thing or trying this so
It’s kind of tips drills and hopefully some educational stuff as well nice and what you’re doing moving forward any big big changes or challenges you’ve got coming up or what’s 24 look like for you so the next couple of years really is for me it’s trying to build out my
Website yeah so the way I kind of explain it to people is YouTube is great you know the videos are eight 10 12 minutes long so you can pick up some simple advice which might help you play better next time you play but if someone kind of really wants to get better yeah
My website is for that so my website is more kind of so for example if you want to stop hitting it fat with a chip you might look that video but on my website the video series in there which is just learning in the short game so not trying
To fix a f yeah just trying to learn how to use the club in different ways had to hit different shots it’s a little bit more of a learning experience as opposed to just fixing something yeah so trying to put more content on there trying to
Grow it I’m hopefully can have a members area soon so kind of I guess it’s a bit more for the people who are a little bit more dedicated to their game and really want to kind of get the most out of it so that’s a bit more of a focus going
Forward nice and got got a new golf planned yourself always want to play always want to play golf my my New Year’s resolution to play more golf has been the same one for about the last 10 years it’s never still not done it it’s never happened so uh I’ve got two boys
If they there are five now hopefully the next couple of years they’ll show more more interest and and that will be my ticket I’ve been out with them sign on the path recourse it’s great yeah but obviously I’m not really focused on my game I’m trying to make sure they don’t
Kill each other with the clubs and and lose the balls and distract everyone else so it’s uh yeah but yeah the more I can play with them it’s going to be great so nice right next hole we’ve got five holes to go Chris I feel like this
Might be driving now you’ve got 17 shots that have been taken I’ve got 15 we we really need to step on it let’s see I think you’re right driver let’s see some of that that length I’ve heard about two difficult holes now great they run side
By side so this one kind of goes down a little bit to the left the next one kind of up and more to the right so tough holes brilliant just at the right point where we need it great just what we need right onwards onwards we go so it’s a
Good sign when you come onto the tea and there’s a ball pitch mark Here sign of a a healthy top from someone earlier filling you with confidence here’s not what to do right 367 all the viewers are going to think that was your first shot now and this is that was yeah
This is your second tell them you got the line yeah I’m just going to go with that trap I think yeah perfect that’s that’s exactly right there let it turn a little righty Le hit me a little pushy fade trying to draw it that should be
Okay are you up for selling that one selling it yeah yeah what you going right for that one 100 for that Che cheap today I like that straightest shot of hit in weeks I like that one as well yeah that’s that’s exactly what I’m
Going to try and do that was a bit more speed in there as well it’s easy when you’ve not got 14 layers on to swing in it it’s not that cold today is it no it’s actually okay I’m only wearing a bob hat cuz I’m bald I haven’t got one out yet this
Winter I feel like I’m I’m waiting very much soon as it drops ever so slightly it’s coming out folically challenged men will feel my pain it’s turning it’s going to finish on the left trap that looked like it had a bit of pump in it that was a little toey though
Which why it turned over a little bit right could be close you know to the fence be all right we’ll find it we’ll find it Center stripe for the old dog I’ve actually been using the uh Wilson Tri golf ball and we’ve done a review of that check it out uh if you
Haven’t seen it but it’s been actually quite decent it seems to be long and fairly good out on the golf course but 84 yards up here this is where I need to capitalize I’m going to hit my 50 so it’s not spinning backloads I’ll just
Hit a bit of a a softer one and Let It Drop in no spin pulled the living hell out of that like so bad face was just so short I need to get so much better with the wedge feel like I really let myself down today but
That’s golf sometimes it’s here to test us just like life so I’ve got 91 but it’s a pretty thick lie pretty wet lie so I’m going to go 56 it’s not going it’s not going to roll anywhere so I can pretty much carry it all the way I just
Don’t how it’s going to come out of this kind of lie probably going to come out a bit soft I’m going to play like 95 I think get up not bad just off the back of the green it’s proximity wise not too bad I’m only about 20 fo which from 85 isn’t
The worst but that shot face got to get control of it but a little chipping would change everything here a little chipping makes all the bad stuff go away little 60 just run him on you know you like it Chris I was just about to walk over you and say they are
The worst shots in the winter but that was amazing love that that saves the campaign folks that right there was the winning shot for 30 shot challenge little birdie all right around the green it’s just full half s how many you now that takes me to 18 if you box this
We’re living the dream if I box this I’ll be on 20 we’re coasting our way in if you box this never wanted a put to go in so much go on then go on then go on oh that went over the edge of the hole had
A look and it’s gone literally 3T too far that was nearly a beautiful moment tell you what this Green’s firm in it higher up isn’t it raised up I think it’s a little bit firmer isn’t it well done good four good four 21 18 18 four holes to go Chris we can still
Do this the dream is very much alive we just need them all to be par threes now which they not there are a couple of fours of five and a three so uh need to play some good golf need some more miracle chip-ins if we’re going to
Get it done it goes around to the right you basically got this like little group of trees yeah which you can definitely reach cuz they’re only 230 away send it over yeah cuz if if you go straight you can just run out of room yeah so ideally
Even if you miss it right it’s not the end of the world you’ve got you’ve got the world right if you can carry those Tre it’s difficult to carry them cuz they’re tall but you can miss it right left is is more left is more difficult I
Mean ideally it’s a little fade which I don’t feel like we’re great at are we Fade’s normally my bag I’m just uh I’ve Trav you see I’m traveling today so I’ve lost it in in the air well I always tell people I can fade it but my Fades look like mikkelson’s
Fades right right to left good one that I just f it like all the T box 15th yeah 380 over those trees little cut gets the job done come on mat relive it that’s two bullets little bit pulley but it’ll work oh M that’s perfect you could
Go out and place it anywhere than that I mean lit if you can get land come down 5 yards left of those trees like you did it’s like A1 all right it can come again if you’re going to sell that one for 100 that’s got to be worth that’s a bag of
Sand that one 500 that one I reckon you can send it right to the trees and bring it back into where I am with your length in that little shape well the last one was towy so I’m going to try of the same as you I’m going to try and go up the
Middle and cut it a little travel there’s nothing there I’ve just got to find it might be tricky that’ be okay I think it’s fine if it’s just we can find it as long as it has plugged we’ll find it we’ll get the excavation seene now right 122
Here flag is just slat bang in the middle right at the back of the green the 50 is a 125 Club so I think this is this is nothing but net nothing but that yeah all green lights green lights could break the backboard slam dunk style I
Need this to be very close where’s the wind off the left yeah that helps my little draw shot with this then come on Matthew live the dream that is so bad you are terrible with a wedge you putting pin are you putting that’s the positives of it should we start with the
Negatives oh knew was going to do that 100 on the nose 100 is this green light it is same as you the winds off the left yeah like oh don’t you always get a little nerve and the pins at the back you just think like three yards long when you’re left
With a really horrible I didn’t mind that yardage cuz it was right on my like right on my number it’s not I’ve got 56 if I jump on it I’m over the back so then you got to take a bit off and it’s like then they always take too much off
The flags at the back and so I’m going to try and be a little bit Bolder and try and push it or I’ve got was shot dropping out of water hazards that’s a and I’ve under hit it after saying that that’s good that told you I’d be really happy with that my
Direction’s so bad with a ledge at the minute it’s not not far away you got a lovely Tempo when you hit your wedges they don’t go tell them they don’t go close enough they don’t go closer right do your job wedge we need we need two
Dunk towns this was going to be what happened with the wedge well I do you don’t you’re flying no I need I need it Chris you don’t you don’t understand understand the pressures I’m under the only the only thing that’s keeping me going is I’ll be satting the bar with a
Cofe you’ll be playing the 18th you can carry me back how what are your thoughts on uh tending Flags I’d rather it out or in okay personally out out good oh under Reddit under Reddit stay up it was low all the way I had my spot and I missed it great pot
Though only five Chris five five left five to at least it’s PA three next and then it’s the last after that no got three left par three par four par five well to be fair hopefully you should hit your prediction which is very good this green that one green that was TI has
Just diddled me a bit but the rest of them have been really nice and they look like they’re rolling really well if I can knock this in this would bolster every effort wow good push M get in is that a misread or a push both yeah sometimes it works out if you yeah
Overread it and pull it it’s only four though I didn’t see this little bit of left to right there not good from 120 22 and 25 eight for me five for Chris three holes to go a three a four a five you might get home
Which my by my math is 11 so I just need a 300 this is the seventh hole Chris your prediction was that you hit a shot on the eth so you well you should be confident of that how many I’ve got 20 I’ve had 25 You’ had 25 you got three
Yeah I might I might get lucky and have two the you can drive the E potentially at least have an eagle put as my last shot that at least be that be nice I need I’ve got eight shots left so if I go par par you have a breather I’m actually
Teeing off on nine and I could hold in one on a par five to do it who knows might be some going the longest hoing one ever recorded it was true honestly into 170 I’m thinking seven iron here for me it’s a big eight or a little
Seven yeah seven for me then come on Matthew you let’s get another two on a PA three who if if you were to nominate someone now Chris to do this challenge well you’re making me pick you at the moment cuz you’re flying I’m the one who
Who else would you nominate to do this challenge can I pick Padre Harrington he’s got a YouTube channel he’s got a YouTube channel yeah podre if you’re listening think he’ smash it yeah he would do be great he was my hero podre I heard he watches frag off yeah I thought
He was I thought that was Padre in the comments yeah yeah that’s a good shout that we’re going to try and get Paddy on there you go that’ll be a good video wouldn’t it yeah I literally got a signed cap and a photo from him at home me from when I was like
16 at the open St Andrews remember it all but he’s now he’s over 50 isn’t he and I bet he’s smashing it further than he’s probably ever H he was he’s gain what was it now can’t remember I think he gained 30 yards off the impressive isn’t it yeah very impressive comment
Down below as well guys who would you want to see next on the 30 shot challenge or if anyone’s got Patty’s mobile yeah if anyone’s got patty just drop it in there right come on Chris let’s see some magic from us you knew you get down
Oh I’m not sure if that was half a club too much or just the fact that you I’ve got a little bit of scar tissue from last week I was hitting massive slices with my irons that might be an exaggeration maybe yeah no honestly when
If you watch the videos of me and Finch in record Breakers I was hitting like 40 yards of movements on them so that was a bit of that then AIT you fixed it yeah I’ve just did the hell out of it and pulled it right I’ve got eight
Iron oh no h h it’s going to be okay it’s going to be I didn’t hit it hard enough go just clambered it wasn’t a great strike and I didn’t hit it hard enough we definitely at the world on fire there up and downs needed right Chris we need a chip in
Here Flopper dopper yeah the green they’re firm still I don’t think I need to go fully upstairs you’re landing on a little bit of a Down Slow yeah that’s the only issue I think I’ll be all right fans want to see a flop flop shot don’t temp me might hit the hland low
Spinner spin I thought that was going to go good shot do you think holand could hit that on a November winry no no no go course I don’t think he’d even come out in this weather the Hooter would have gone off it’s a bit moist out here now if it
Rains does it turn into the 31 shot challenge no we just get the board and you get the the rain and wet R and W on the board turn in then turn in like mine on the last that might be the worst read I thought that would have come a little
Bit I wouldn’t have ADD it that much but I would have put my house on that going left we’ll say it went an inch left just so you’ve got a house I’m so convinced that would have gone to the left if I had that put again I’d still hit it
There even I’ve Just Seen It Go dead straight oh the heavens have opened it’s not good when you’ve got white pantsy on come on knock her in move on five left 32 finish 2 three oh got it good P could have done with a maybe a two there I would have really
Fancied my chances but we’ve still got hope and where there’s hope there’s a chance I did not want to leave myself the old knee knocker that defied gravity that felt uphill it went back up the hill there on the lip that’s cuz they wanted to see an
Eagle put from you on the last right onwards we go onwards SKS on the door ladies and gentlemen I have five left Chris has two we have a four and a par five so 340 this hole you can get close in the in the summer it’s a bit warmer
And a bit roler what about November day uh not so much no not so much right I want a three so then I can at least get halfway down the last you want to hold in one you need to land on my ball knock it in 40 pretty straight away nothing
Here but green side traps yeah there’s no trouble up here really it’s just uh smash away smack Let It Go go to Pound Town y I’ve smashed that driver today Splat you have just shy of the Trap you’ve ripped that today thank you sir we uh we could pitch in Chris I
Could make an eagle down the last we’ve had a little rain break and I am like that feels the end ofing now yeah that was quite impressed that I got mine Airborne then with that rain break over the grous with a little turny it in you’ve done your prediction though
Positiv well unless I have two air shots it’s not off the cards oh gosh Healy saver that is that would work in August yeah that probably would have chased and then worked its way around the bunkers but it’s done all right it’s done all right you you’ve beat your prediction so I
Have that’s a big positive I’m content my last it’s emotional my last shot do you want to do you want to say a few words or anything before you hit this one have you got I would do I’m tearing up so I’m just going to go ahead and hit
It come on wedg it in finishing style a good looking shot well done Chris you beat your expectation which a lot of people don’t do I can’t even see it I’ve hit my last shot and I can’t even see the result it’s about 10 foot congratulations one
Foot one foot one foot thank you man that was that was good fun right I’m going to see if see later yeah see the this is an area where I need to get better 56 little rips going to be a 60 do you try and guess the arage before you zap it I
Always do yeah I don’t know why yeah I always try and guess it and then zap it 78 I realize I’m glad I’ve got one yeah thank God I’ve got a watch and a laser right 56 I know how far technically I need to swing this thing it’s just doing
The the bit actually hitting it actually hit a pit shot oh it’s just a slope hit the slope it’s hard to get it all way back there it’s right on top of a right on top of a we got a put at it though hold that and then hold my second
On the last and I’ve done it folks pray for me hit that like button if you’ve enjoyed this one this far Chris very nice guy make sure you sub to his channel once this is hit I’ve got two left is the next reachable in two yeah I’d say so with your driving abilities
The Dream Is Alive come on uphill right to left it’s not going to get there like that is it Matt just got stuck on the face there well I’ve got one shot left folks teing off on the 9th I’m improving again it’s getting better how many what percentage
Of times have you teed off on the 9th oh just maybe about 10% that’s about it well folks we’ve got here this is 30th shot this Me bows out on the 9th Chris it was a pleasure having you on today it was very much enjoyed your company that one doesn’t matter cuz that

Shiels, Fryer & Finch! The A Team!
Nice to see two great players fighting the same conditions we winter warriors have to play in weekly, including the wet conditions and the bobbly greens which have been hollow tined. Super video guys, really enjoyed the play from you both👍🏻 👏🏻🏌🏽🏌🏼♀️🏌️⛳️
Interesting what Chris said about looking at hole. I have been trying this technique for 2 years now and still feel weird actually on course. Thing is, I know I putt way better and with a lot more feel looking at hole. Every time I look at ball, I get way too rigid! Def plan to trust my instinct looking at hole in 24
33:08 "Three holes to go, a three, a four and a five which by my maths is eleven…" Er, would that be Northern maths, Matt? 🤣 Thanks for the entertainment on a wet, soggy day with tined greens – never the easiest conditions to play in.
I'm only on hole 2 and I'm lovin this match up, we need more of this MF CR content. 👌🏽
Well done matt 👏 😊
Love this series. Be great to see Iona Stephen having a crack at this, her putting would give her a great chance – as long as your not playing on freshly tined greens 😂
Get Bob McIntyre on this challenge!!
A 3, 4 and a 5. By my maths that's 11. Stick to golf Matt 😂
It would be awesome to see Padraig do the challenge alright!!
Loved this the banter is superb, two of my favourites having a day out.
Get Alex etches on your channel. He's a great entertainer and was an Aussie for a while but has now left us! Haha
Hard work in those conditions.
Greens are hollowtyned, cold and damp.
Break par would be a better challenge.
You're on the 2nd hole, I doubt as a scramble you will break par.
Do you not play golf in the summer
Paused and guessing Chris goes further but could be wrong
Great video Matt. You are a great putter, would you be so kind as to create some putting drill videos for the channel? I am a big fan of your work , keep it up please.
By far, for me anyways, best guest so far. Always wanted to see how players like Chris play.
Another 30 shot let's get it
Day/video 22 I'll take that Evnroll any time
How about Jimmy Bullard?
Jimmy Bullard would enjoy this challenge
Talk about slow play!
Chris is awesome. Great youtube coach. Matt, incredible playing, as usual.
Who knew Chris was from Birmingham? Clearly, he talks posh on his own channel.
Great conversation on putting and looking at the hole. I've been doing it for 10 years now but it took 5 years to get comfortable especially on longer putts. The biggest benefits for me is my lag putting is a whole lot better, keep working on it Chris
Good show Matt. Some names for future episodes – Richard Shiels, Jimmy Bullard, Iona Stephen,
I would like to see Danny Maude on th 30 shot challenge .
I'd like to see Chris play more
Great to see the two of you going head to head. Why not take on the “Geordie Golfer” next 👍🏌️♂️👍
Chris seems like a great guy, hope to see him on more course vlogs etc. in 2024! Great video as always Matt!
I'd love to see Chris, Danny, Matt and Rick together for a 18 hole vlog
Great format, but Way too much chat – more golf please
Loving the series Matt. Chris’s inclusion was great.
Love a driver lesson off mr Ryan !! He knows his shit ⛳️👌
Excellent Top 30 Challenge with Chris, who is a top instructor. I also agree that Danny Maude would be a good competitor. Keep it going.
