This is a new series I’m starting 3 holes with the pro to showcase how to play holes both when you are on your game and off your game. How to turn a double bogey into a bogey and how to turn a par into a legit birdie opportunity.

[Applause] [Music] okay let’s play a hole so this is a 400 yard par 4 dog leg left today we got 25 to 30 m 5 30 m per hour wind G right so it’s a difficult challenging day this is a dog leg left um OB to the right nothing but threee problems to the left and this shot kind of shakes up for my draw so I don’t overthink it I step up here I pick the target out and I commit to it and I just hit my my stock draw all right the wind’s pushing it we have to go over there and see about that one that way pushing hard from left to right and it wouldn’t let that ball draw as much as I wanted it to so it stay actually where I started the ball it actually stayed right there and then the wind pushed it to the right a little bit now this is why this hole can be a challenging depending on where your ball stopped I already know I’m going have some tree problems so I’m going to have to hit a cut shot with the wind pushing against me back into the green yeah it’s windy out here folks but that’s Georgia we get them high winds days I mean high wind days and you have to be able to play in it but it’s keeping the temperatures down it’s only 88° today and it feels like a cool 7879 all right let’s go over here and look all right so started my B right down here on this left side of the 150 and the wind just kept pushing it just pushed it pushed there it go see that it pushed it all the way over here wow and I got tree problems and I’m in sand o well this why we play for it all right so I got a terrible lie the Green is right here let’s see how far we out we get to go back to golf we got 174 to the pan all right so I’m going to do with this lie being nasty I’m actually going to take a hybrid a three hybrid and try to keep it under the trees and then I’m going to try to steer this ball anywhere on the green I’m happy what would tiger do that’s what I used to say when I used to play golf a lot what would tiger do terrible shot terrible shot absolutely terrible I did the rookie mistake I lifted my head in the swing all right so now we going to pin on our short game to get up and down probably got 70 yards to the pin let’s see I’m getting pretty good at this 74 yards to the pan all right so I’m going to take a whole lob wedge how about that whole lob wedge I just put the lob wedge in the bag this week let’s see if it pays off got a really good Li all right here we go we going to make a commitment to it I’mma flight my ball got a chance at it folks we got a chance at it let’s see what it did when it when it landed that’s what it’s all going to be about what did the ball do when it landed all righty but this is the beauty of golf right the beauty of golf is that you know you play your ball as it lie right and you play the course as you find it and you know you’re going to have some holes that you just got to manage the wind stopped me from drawing that ball then I landed up in a sloppy lie okay not bad not a bad shot right there guys that’s that’s that putt is makeable it’s all up to me it’s all up to me that putt is a makeable putt right here I can get out of here with a Bendis man par here’s the ball this putt barely breaks I’m already looking at the green looking at the hole I’m looking at everything how does this ball break so I go up to the green I look and see what the grass is doing all right Mark my ball place it exactly where I want it I like that I like that line running right where I want it I’mma play this inside the cup right Edge oh yeah I can see a little bit of a smoke right to the left I’m playing it inside the cup right Edge straight putt folks wow so I get out of here with a bogey okay let’s go to the next ho see if we can get the even par okay so this is a short hole 350 right normally I would take a three iron off this T box and I will leave myself a nine iron eight iron to the green I’m to play a little bit more more aggressive all right there you go that paid off for me so I took a driver but I didn’t try to kill the driver so you see the difference with I’m going play it aggressive versus being aggressive there’s a difference and you have to understand when to tap into each one so I played it aggressive by picking driver if I was going to be aggressive I would have tried to amp the driver up okay but I didn’t I just moved the nice driver out there which leaves me hopefully a little 100 yard shot you know somewhere like that I didn’t try to kill the ball it was it all about precision and just plac it my ball the pins on the right I wanted my ball to be on the left side of the Fairway and it is and it’s perfect so that’s I mean I can’t ask her no more than that folks all right let’s see what we got we at 70 74 59 58 58 ydd to the hole you see that right there 58 yard to the hole and it was a 30 354 so and the pin’s in the front so I’m going to take that lob wedge again I got a decent l i put it in the bag but I’m not going to do I can hit this full lob wedge 7580 yards so I’m going to do a I’m going stick it the wind is up right now pushing from the back toward the front and it’s gusted really bad so I’m going to take a couple rehearsal swings and what I want to do go we go anywhere on the right front quadrant that’s where the pen is that’s where I want to be at boom P the pivot an my weight just a slight tuug folks perfect distance let’s go over here and let’s see what we got you know it’s the name of the game right now look at the wind flag ain’t doing nothing strange game right but we play it play the course since we find it right and play the um ball as it lie go over here and try to make this PLT get back to even par there go that wind kicking up again see that wind is stopping the ball from doing what it needs to do you know I aim my ball right here but it did pull just a little bit I’ll be honest it was a slight tug but not a bad one all right here we go folks I’m already looking at the green I’m reading the green that’s that’s a old Cup right there so if you don’t go in the center of the cup you’re not going to make this F all right here we go it’s sloping back down toward the front I don’t think the green is breaking a lot this week we not going to give the away scar money don’t make no money right folks okay got a par we play one more okay okay here we go we got uh 206 yards par three bunker to the right bunker to the left the trees are stopping the wind here but that freeway behind me it pushes wind right through the tunnel so you don’t know what you going to be really playing 20 I didn’t see it land but it was right on it if I hit it good enough I should be right there for a chance that’s that rapid taper shaft folks keep telling you that rapid taper hyers shaft it’s a game changer pure Game Changer X Caliber golf if you play hybrids you definitely want to check this shaft out I’m telling you the real deal this shaft is stable see that wind I better I may not I made it see I told you how this freeway it wraps that wind around I’m looking at that flag that flag is whipping oh right there I flew it I told you it was right on it folks yes Center the green on a part three 200 plus yards we’ll take that all day long here we go let’s get out of here with a birdie get back to even par right that’s the go all right so I’m going get my putter my lab putter lab Mees one this a good putter folks if you can get past the way these Putters look they stable but you do got to put some practice time in them I got to tell you the truth you have to develop the stroke where you’re not trying to manipulate the putter there’s my ball right here here’s the pitch mark it didn’t move much ball hit right here and rolled out right there okay so we’ll fix that we’ll fix that pitch mark put the putter down here Green’s growing a little slow today I’ve already missed a couple of puts because the green is rolling slow I’mma keep the fly again I think [Music] see here have something that LE taught me Le say your put from behind the hole you told me that about nine years ago and it made a difference in my putting I just give it a good look from behind the hole that flag is all over the place look at the pole all over the place the greens are a little shaggy today so it’s not going to break as hard as it normally break here I I saw break it right left speed oh come on the Shaggy green stopped me from going in that ball I’ve never seen a ball stop out here I still got meat on the ball folks how does a ball stop going downhill take a deep breath just play it inside the cup all right get out of here with a par so I’m I’m one over so far and I’m great get out of here I’ll continue this tomorrow hopefully my Avon red bird clubs are back and I can finish with those clubs but I just wanted to show you guys how you play a little golf you play the course as you find it and you play the ball as it lied if you hit a bad shot you see what I did I let that shot go and I went to my next shot just like a quarterback Tom Brady throws interception interception and then what does he do the next time he throws 300 yards in the second half right because he’s able to let that last play go you have to do the same thing in golf keep grinding folks take care remember the journey does require work peace [Music]
