Mission: Impossible – Breaking 30 at Desert Pines Golf Course, a Pete Dye Design

Welcome back to Golfing Vegas. James, Marcus, Deuce, and today we’re going to try to break 30 from one up from the back TE’s. We did a break 60 challenge from the women’s tea, so now we’re moving it back a little bit. Wish us luck. See what we can do. We got do it. [Applause] All right, let’s uh try and stripe this driver down there in the first hole. Uh it’s only what a little over 300. A little too much for me, but I’m going to try and crank it up there. It’s cutting back. It’s cutting back. Oh, it’s like a bail hop, right? It may be okay. I think it will be. Yeah. First swing of the day. Smooth one down there. Oh yeah. Cutting just to right. Good ball. Good ball. up there. See a bounce? Yeah, I do. Oh, yeah. It’s good. Oh, yeah. Should be good. Nice shot. I wouldn’t say. Hey, three T-shots in the fairway, right, man? Yeah, that’s a good start. I’ll take that. In a scramble, you know, it’s nice to have options. So, um I’m uh I’m a little bit longer. So, well, probably I’m thinking mine, but you never know about the bounce. Like, you know, one of you guys could have easily bounced. I got over and shot out. Yeah, it shot hard. So, out there. I don’t care whose we use. Whatever’s the best shot, right? That’s all that matters. But, man, to have three good shots in the fairway, we’ll take them. You know, the breakdown behind the scenes. We got 50 yards. No, that was the Bermuda is alive. Okay, 50 yards. [Music] Didn’t spin at all. Put inside James is I like it. Stop right there. Yep. Good shot. Nice shot. So, all right. We need to make this plot for Bry. Let’s do it. It’s not doing much. Kind of right up the hill. Maybe a little right to left. Not much. Whoa. Stay right there. Almost. That one moved. That one did. Yours didn’t move till right at the very end. Mine moved. I mean, I don’t I don’t get it. It definitely I mean, it’s definitely outside, right? Yeah, it’s up the hill. Kind of when it dies, it should turn. And mine just did turn when it died. I hit it right where I was trying to, man. [Music] [Applause] Like any of them were bad bucks. They just didn’t fall. That is disappointing, man. Cuz we hit Yeah. All were good. I mean, regulation either. would be happy with any of those. And yours stayed out, mine went over, and his stayed out. His stayed out. It’s like that’s golf, I guess. [Music] [Applause] So, I’m in a 145. I got a seven iron. Let’s try and make sure it gets back there. If it’s over the back, it it’s actually pretty good. Keep cut. Cut. All right. All right. 145. I got a seven iron. All right. Get an option from either side of the flag. 145’s in the back. Hit a ner. Hang. Here’s kicked back a little bit. I like it. Tough card. This hole is tough no matter what. It just is. So, we’re going to go up and see. Uh, I drew mine a little bit too much. I tell you what, that’s about as pure as I can hit an iron. I mean, that was dead center in the face. Felt good. Um, okay. Marcus is a little right and short. I think mine’s easily pin high. It’s just Oh, mine’s passed. I see it back there. We’re both past. Holy crap. I’m over the freaking green. His is not very fun either. Oh my goodness. How do you hit an You know what, guys? That’s That’s what this is for. But unfortunately, that sucks. But you know, we got a long freaking putt. Yeah. All right. Try and knock one in. Good speed. Yours stayed out. It did. It did. I I thought it was going to come back, but it really stayed out there. I think it’s a matter how far you carry it because if you go short, it’s definitely going to kick more. Yeah. I You can go pretty straight at it, though. Maybe it’s just a little right of hole. I think really soft. Got to go for it. This bad boy. Uh three. [Music] [Applause] Yeah, cuz basically we have to cars and [Music] All right, par five would be a little little over 400 for us today. 450 423. We got this. I’d like to get us into that second part of fairway. These guys can swing away. Let’s do it. Keep cutting. It’s cutting. It’s coming back. It’s coming back. Hitting that. Hitting that sand there. You hit that sand. Should be fine, though. Dude, that landed in the sand, didn’t it? Yeah. Shot off to the right. It could have shot over the hill. Go up the ditch. That’s kind of hard. Good ball. Carry it. Oh yes. He got got stuffed by the hill. Oh yeah. [Music] No, that was really good though. A little extra club. You’re like, you know, if I try to get past it. Really? That’s okay. You get us up there safe as up. I’ll be I’ll just go right now. I’ll be super aggressive cuz I can carry that, you know, good. Looks good. All bad. Love that deep 78 pull one out because one hits 180 to 220. It’s good, too. It’s like the same one deeper. Yeah. Well, they’re both on the green deep. I’m going to be real aggressive with a seven. See if I can fly one and just try to stop. Oh, that was so close. Right. Yeah, that that front. I just hit that in drink. But guys, that’s the way you play a scramble. Honestly, I don’t I think that’s the best way. They’re they’re both on and long. So, I tried to hit just enough club to get there and stop and unfortunately just a little bit short. How How close was that to clearing? 5 yards, maybe. 510. Cuz it was drawn right back at me. I hit it good. I hit a really good shot. But my seven iron, a full seven iron for me is about 180 total. So, I only carry it like 170. Some people were playing this like look where the red st is left of the flag. Well, no, no. I was purposely playing that shot simply because you’re on with y’all on. I mean, really good. It doesn’t benefit us. You’re way better than I thought. Good. Good shot. Good shot. But you get what I’m saying. It doesn’t benefit for me to not be aggressive with you on. So, that’s why I went for, you know, it’s worth it. That’s scramble. Yeah, that’s what we’re playing. Now, if I was playing my own bow, obviously I play middle of the green or back. Oh, deuce is actually 10 ft from the freaking hole. Way better than I thought, dude. Eagle right there. Eagle. Eagle. Hey, you know who won the Super Bowl this year? Whatever. It’s not the Patriots. I don’t Yeah, but who won the Super Bowl this year? The Eagles. Guess what? We’re getting ready to get the Eagles. That’s right. Great shot. Yours Yours was right there. They were both good shots. I thought there I thought his was long. Good shots. I don’t think this breaks as much as it kind of looks like. Pretty straightish. Little up the hill. Wow. It came right. Yes. Nice putt. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Eagle dude needed that. That was a true team thing cuz we my um in case you couldn’t see on the shot tracer, my drive actually hit into the hill and bounced kind of backwards. I I thought I cared. So, we used Marcus’ drive. We used Deuce’s second shot and my putt. That’s team work. What’s that? Uh some of the kids you think what’s going to work? Team work. There we go. He’s got eagle. Eagle. Told you it was eagle. All right. So, now two under through three. We are trying to get to They’re having too much fun back there. Guardians or something? Is that your guys’s new name? Wonder pets. There we go. You guys are the wonder. [Music] All right. Screw it, driver. The mini. You’ll see the mini later. Don’t worry about it. That’s a good ball. Little left. You hit it good though. Be a wedgie. Did you see it? I didn’t see a land, but smash driver up there. I got nothing to lose. Yeah, I think it stayed left. Left the bucker here. Okay, Marcus, you’re in good shape, I think. So, I’m going to try to rip it open. All right. Just flip it up there. Leave it. Maybe a little below the hole. Those are wonderful. A we need you, James. That’s kind of where I was at. I didn’t want to go long be putting back down. Sit. Oh, yeah. Sit. Sit right there. Nice shot. Thank you. It’s got to be a little hole. It’s way outside the hole. Yeah. About a cup. Oh my god. Wow. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh man, that sucks. That’s three good putts, guys. That’s what P die greens do to you. Those little putts. I I I had mine breaking a foot. I played a foot out and it it broke more than that. You broke you had a little less than that cuz you hit it firmer than me. And still yet, imagine that a 3ft putt breaking over a foot. Yeah. Welcome to Pete Thailand. So, we are two under through four all the time. We get that. We got to We got to get some birdies going here. Wish us luck, guys. Apparently, none of us are three-footer. That looks a little hard. That’s embarrassing. Oh, man. I definitely thought one of you would get it, but that’s okay. Next one. Yeah, that’ll be broke a lot. But jeez. [Music] The wind a little bit. Yeah. Okay. All right. Another par4. What about 400 from here? It’s a good one. Yeah. Drive out there. Hang on. It’s close. It’s really close. It’s close. Well, I don’t know if his is safe, so we’re going to make mine safe. Yeah. Yeah. Let’s Let’s do that. Need the smoothie king right now. Perfect. N didn’t turn. That was hammered, too. Me and James just donating balls. On going back. I don’t know. Yeah. I don’t know if this is We’ll find out. So Marcus hit a really good T- shot there. So, I just tried to rip and be super aggressive. I went right down the right side. And normally I draw it a little bit. Didn’t draw, but I hit it good. I mean, I hammered it. So, but uh we’re playing Marcus. I have donated another ball to the golf course. Um they’re not cheap balls either. Um yeah, yours just kept on cutting right back. None of them are cheap. We got about 111 back pin. Nine irons are back there. A little bit of a funky slope. be right. Keep turning. Little long. A good distance. A little long, I think. Yeah. I’m also going to hit a nire here. Oh, yeah. Go in. Nice shot. 112 11. I mean a gap wedge and we’re going to be crazy aggressive. Marcus is tight, man. It’s either going to be really good or really bad. Oh, I was trying too. Stayed out. Well, you’re in there tight, you know. on this one. I’m excited to watch that one back. All right. Deuce does better with no thought whatsoever. Like we’re just going to see it and hit it. Boom. See it? Hit it. Boom. Boom. [Applause] [Music] Needed that. Needed that. Yeah. 300 through five. Not really where we want to be, but hey, we’re getting what we can get out of it, you know. Um these challenges trying to break 60, try to break 30. Today we’re trying to break 30. Of course, come down to putting and when you’re playing a Pete die course, that’s a lot to ask. It just is, you know. Even the short [Music] one. Another 400 y par4. Another driver. Be nice. Probably be all right. I think it’s all right. You don’t think it’s going far enough to go to the other fairway? No. Rinse, wash, repeat. It’s out there. It’s certainly out. It is. What you got, D? Uh, I’m going to do a little eight iron. Little easy one. Nine doesn’t feel like enough. Turn. Okay. Stay out to the right. 126. I’m in a soft eight iron. Stop copying me. Huh? Oh, actually, you’re fine as long as you do it better than I did. That’s better than I did. be right. Nice shot. 126 pitching wet. Just try to find straight on. All right. Marcus is tight though. Another birdie is on fire. Yes. Come on. Nice. Very nice. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Eagle Eagle with ease. Necess Marcus for that cuz uh uh you hit a really good putt. I hit what I thought was a really good putt. Speed was perfect on both those, right? They were both good. Thought they both had a chance to drop. Yours was a little right, mine a little left, and then he just hits right in the middle field goal. So, great job, Marcus. Thank you for that. So, we’re four under through six. Oh, man. We need to uh we need to hammer down here. We need to birdie the rest of the the front nine or get an eagle. We got a par five now. Eagle this um to get ahead either way. We But we’ve got to at least birdie everyone now. [Music] All right. Yeah, par five. We need this one. Give some mini little uh some play. I like it. Usually more in play than the driver. That was Maurice right there. Was it? That was definitely Maurice. Let’s go get an eagle here. Just a little. Oh, that was a nice kick. Turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn over it it Oh yeah yeah that’ll work here. So um I I don’t know if I clear if I carry everything we’re fine. No, you did. It’s not drawing though. Like like if I had drawn dude, we’d have a freaking wedge in. I crushed that. Listen, if you drew it, it might have ran all the way to the other side of the fairway, too. So, it’s actually kind of where you want to be. I hit it good, man. I think that’s you right here. Oh, over there. I would say 193. 193. Get a little fivewood. Kind of choke down on a little bit. Make sure it gets all the way over the water. Safe. Maybe too much. All right. 193. Oh. Oh, daddy. Good. It’s on the green. Sweet. Barely. So, yeah, you’re good to fire away. Got 193. Um, getting a sixiron. You want to try to fly all the way there? Oh, chunk it. Chunky, chunky, chunky, chunky. All right. Kind of straightish. Go left a little bit. Yeah. Oh, I think you had it, too. That’s the line. [Music] That’s pushed. It’s dead straight. I was right edge and just pushed it for sure. That’s not bad. We got birdie. Yeah. I got to push it though. Kind of went over there. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Got one 142. Go a little easy seven. Try and get it to that that little tier by itself back there. Pretty slippy. Sit. Sit down. Let’s go. Be right. Oh, nice shot. Sean anything back on that tier. 142. I’m between clubs. I’m going to hit a 9 iron and just try to fly it all the way there. [Music] Got to get up. Oh, yeah. Oh, it’s over. It’s over. That’s so Yeah, it was a good shot. You guys are making me nervous. I’m serious. Okay. Well, uh, Marcus is on that tier. I think we got a pretty long putt, though. I think you’re in the water, don’t you? And I may be in the water. I mean, you might be, too. I I was between a pitching wedge and a 9 iron. Pitching wedge for me, 140 is like about my max. So, I thought 9 iron, you know, carry I carry my N like 140. I thought I would stop at the hit. It just bounced, man. It landed past the flag, didn’t it? You kind of see it’s dried out over there. So, it’s I just landed too far. Okay. Well, we got to make a putt. We got to make a putt. We’re sitting on this hill. Looks definitely going pretty good that way. I’m kind of at that little dead spot. I like that. Maybe even a little outside of it. Got to hit it. That was That was Oh, baby. Come on. Oh my goodness. Oh, nice putt. Yeah, it’s maybe a little more uphill than it than it looks like. Yeah, my speed was good. I’m just saying it would have been that line would have been better with a little bit more. It’s [Music] [Applause] [Music] far. All right, last last par four. Water all the way up the right. Got to stay left at that pine tree. Keep cutting. Keep cutting. That’s fine. Good. That’s fine. Oh, yeah. That’s perfect. That’s wet. That’s wet. Did you say 74? Yeah. Try and dunk it. Poop it. Poop. That poop. That looks really good. Spin. Spin. Way too much. Yeah, I expected more like that. I was expecting more like that. Okay, 74 yards a 3/4 60°ree. We need to try to stick as close. Turn back. Nice job. Turn. Try not to leave it short, especially in a scramble. That would be really stupid. And you did. And you did. It’s good. I mean, You know, mine was short, but it was the closest one, and I already puted it in. So, 31. [Applause] [Music] Well, we shot a 31. 31. We do not hear a number, but you know what? Every challenge isn’t meant to be broken the first time. Actually, I’m surprised we shot a 55 from the Reds that time. Honestly, that was hard. I wasn’t. I was saying it right away. Well, we all played really good that day, too. and played much better that day after better. Played quite as good, but it’s also a different course because from the reds we can drive every green with an iron basically, you know, uh or you know, fairly whatever. So, hope you guys enjoyed that. Please click subscribe, like, and the notification button. Um, we will try this challenge again and we will do it next time. Absolutely. [Music] [Applause] [Music]
