Breaking 50: The Unbelievable Hastings Golf Club Challenge

Breaking 50: The Unbelievable Hastings Golf Club Challenge

Welcome back to Yes Life, the channel where we’re on a mission to play every golf course in New Zealand. But this week, we’re taking a short break from the road and sticking close to home at the stunning Hastings Golf Club. I’ve got some great company for this one, my good friend from the US, who works as the assistant caddy master at the iconic Maran Golf Club. And join us as well as a familiar face from Barefight Golf. We’re teaming up for a break 50 challenge. Should be a good mix of solid golf, friendly banter, that’s my man. And who knows, maybe a few birdies. Are we going to do it? Well, that fills me with so much optimism. It’s tough. Don’t plan on using too many MIT shots. It’ll kind of be not good if we are. Okay. Ah, beautiful. We’re off, boys. Yeah, that’ll do us. I didn’t see it. I didn’t see it either. Down the right side. Caddy’s got it. Don’t worry. Okay. Baby’s always got it. Grant, who are you? So, my name is Grant Middleton. I’m 48 years old. Was in the corporate world for a long, long time, but loved golf all my life. I moved to the United States of America in 2016 and then made golf kind of my job. And I started caddying at Marian Golf Club, one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the United States, if not the world. And I am the assistant caddy master there. I’ve been caddying now since 2017. And I have been the assistant caddy master and still carry a bunch since 2023. So going back for my third season. I’m in the offseason now. We shut down for four months. And I’m here traveling the world, visiting friends while we’re on the off season. and we’ll be back to it April 1st, 2025. I think that’s one of the best intros I’ve ever heard of one myself. Thank you very much. I did it well. We had a long time getting to your ball. So, Oh, it really did go in the air. Just playing it safe. Playing it safe. Yeah. Yeah, that’s good. Oh, go. Go on. Be good. Oh. Oh, I love that. Is it bouncing up? Toe. So, it was on line, wasn’t it? Really good. Really good. Let’s see. See what we got. Really good. Hold your line. Hold your line. Hold your head. Hold your head. All right. Good speed. That’s a four, isn’t it? Sam, what have you got? Enter. Good try. I gave it a lot there, didn’t I? Okay, we’re off. We went under. What you got here, Grant? 337 m. So, I’m having to try and get everything into yards. So, we’re probably 370 yards. This looks like it calls for a fade, which is not my shot. But playing with these two bombers, I’m going to try and hit the fade around the corner. Let’s see if we can do it. I reckon you got it. All right. Oh, there’s the fade. Just started a little right. It’s okay, though. Oh, that is that is superb. Well, that’s as good as it gets for me. I can’t think I can do much better than that. Superb. Super shot. Okay, here we go. Um, I’m just going to try to outdrive Shawn now, which is uh it should be pretty easy. Oh, I drew it. That’s the wrong direction. I got a hole at 380. So, he’s got this one out here somewhere way north of 300 yards. Have to zoom in on that. It’s quite small. Oh, okay. I think there was a rock there or something. Maybe not. Let’s not include that one. Oh, very nice. Go in. Go in. Go in. Go in. I thought he made it. It’s so good. Oh, you got it, Grant. I like the right half. Do you? Maybe I should have brought my putter. Is it left half? I think it’s left half. Yeah. Okay. Trying to get in your head, Grant. Believe in yourself. He was right. It was left off. He didn’t believe me. I know I’m not the caddy, but you know, this is your golf course. I should have believed you. Boom. We’re good. We’re in. T. That’s minus two. 310 yards is pull three, baby. Got to get this near the green downwind. Yeah, this is I mean there’s an ups slope into the green, so it might not be reachable, but see if we can get close. That’s pretty nice. Yeah, I can’t wait. Drop the camera. Oh. Oh, I’ve hit it too hard, Sam. Oh, no. Okay, so this isn’t the first time the team has had to rely on me. When was the first time? Well, maybe I’m thinking of another day. I don’t know. But this is fine. I’m just going to hit a little 56 degree because it seems like it’s pretty fast since these guys seem to just blast it right by by about 20 yards. Oh, I love that. Oh, what a shot. Oh, hey. Taking my shot. This is the first time yet. How good, Sean. How good. There he is. He’s back. Great [ __ ] Stone dead. That’s teamwork, babe. Thought that was all him. All him. That’s teamwork. That’s teamwork. What’s that score, boys? Minus three. Great chip there from Sam. That was so good. A little bit of pressure actually as well. A lot of pressure. I love the fact he just chucked the ball down as well. Didn’t even like shoot himself a lie. He just chucked it down and stone dead. Stone dead. Great putt as well, partner. You just You’re flying today. You’re flying. I like those 18inch puts. Right in my wheelhouse there at Hastings. Go past it. Yep. Great food. If you’re coming by here, grab Go into the cabinet. Food cabinet. It’s unreal. Pies. This is where the real hard work begins. On our last break 50 at Roangi, we made one two. We shot 55. We have to make twos. 152 yards. Bag. Wind down off the left. Off the right. Sorry. Eight iron. Means I’ll go with a seven. We’re going to hit eight iron. Hold your line. Hold your line. Hold. Wow. Went a long way. No. Oh, baby. Be good. That’s got to move. Break. Break. Break. I definitely hit it too hard, but yeah, I’d say pretty straight, eh? Yeah. Oh, you’re the man. Come on. Was inside. Five. That’s a yes life, too. That’s a yes life. Wind is straight across the left. I don’t think it’s help. It might be helping a fade, actually. So, I mean, again, if we can get it anywhere near the front edge, be pretty good. Oh, that’s superb. Up the left of the tree. Bleeding. Oh, yeah. Love that. I’m not going to hit. I know that. Green light for you, Sam. Green light. You know what that is? Green light special. They call this the green light special. Sean, can I get my ball? Thank you, sir. Good catch. Can we another take? Thank you, Sean. Thanks for throwing that to me. Sean is in a perfect position, we think. Shocker. Shocker. I’m going to try to I’m going to try it right and then go left. Oh, you going the other way? Yeah. Yeah. Being a little different, you know. All right. Nice. Yeah. Get it. Oh. Oh. Oh, he caught something pretty strong. Should we take mine? So, assistant caddyy master at Marian Grant. Assistant caddy master at Marion. What does that entail? Typically, my Monday to Sunday, Monday off, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, I will caddy between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. go home, shower, change, come back and close the office, the caddy office. The caddies will be out there. We’re a factory. We’re very busy. A lot of people love to come and play Mariam. We got great members and they’ll be out there till dark. So it’s important that there is a presence in the office just in case there’s any issues with the caddies, you know, with pay or whatever. It’s important that someone’s there. So the caddy office is manned from dusk. Sorry, from dawn to dusk. Okay. This is not very good at chipping. That’s the next part of my lessons with Sean. Chipping. We got a lot to try and iron out. You’re only here a week, right? Money. Yeah. Actually need to save for three months. I’m going to go low. I’m going to try and go low. That’s what I grew up with. Okay, I think it’s on. I’m not saying I’m I can do it, but I’m going to try and do it. This is going in. This is going in. Travel. That was really nice. Nearly. Nearly. I mean, it’s coming back to you, but Oh, no. It was It was the right idea. Was the right idea. Go, go, go, go, go. Okay, 12 ft this. We need something a little closer ideally. Say less, Grant. Say less. Oh, I chunked it. Oh, what a shot. Played it great. Look. Honestly, that’s pretty shocking there because I feel like I I hit a lot of ground. I doued that, but it’s gone in. That’s why he’s here. Oh my goodness. It down there. What would we do without you? I don’t know. Is that minus four, boys? No, minus five. Hole six, 415 m. This is a par five. This is a big chance for our eagle. We need an eagle here. So, it’s all Grant. This is it. We need the eagle here. This is you, Grant. This is why we came. I think this is just Grant’s hole. I think we’re just going to see Grant’s drive, Grant’s 79, Grant’s putt. That’d be nice. And we’re just going to walk to the seventh. Nope. Oh, that is just superb. We’re good. Yeah, it’s an eagle chance here. Off the toe, but that’s going to run. That is going to run. It will roll. It’s right down the middle. Go, baby. Oh, we got a nice little kick to the right, too. I like it. Options, Grant. Yes. There’s a question I think everyone wants to know. Go for it. Who is the most famous person you carry for and have you got any great stories? Yeah, so I’ve been fortunate enough Marian is a club that everyone wants to play. You know, it’s it’s it’s a bucket list for everybody. Barack Obama was just there in, you know, just before the election a couple months ago. So, yeah, didn’t get to caddy for him, but met him. It was a real pleasure to meet an ex-president like that and shake his hand. Actually, when he finished his round, I was in the office and um he came and shook the hand of everybody, all the staff, which was really cool. Wow. How far? 157. Slightly unafraid. I mean, it could bounce up. Dead. Go. Is it going to bounce? Go on. Big bounce. Go, Sam. That’s mint. I feel like it was a bit of an overreaction. [Laughter] I thinned it, but you know, it’s a nice miss after a thinned thin shot. This is exactly what we need here. Eagle. Love it. I love it. Oh boy. There we go. We got an eagle. 298. Hole seven. 330. Turn back around. We’re going the other way now. into and off the right a little bit. We could do with some drivable par forwards, eh? Yeah. Right. We’re not getting much. That was really nice. Gra. So good. God, I’m going get a bounce. Shaping it with the hole. Oh, that was nice. I mean, I I swung as hard as I really could. I think I think he got it somewhere near the front. I think that was close. Very good. Thank you. Nice. It didn’t feel very good, though. I’m not going to lie. I’m going to go a little right to left and just try and give it a chance. I didn’t get it out there. Come on. Come on. Snap left. Snap left. Snap left. Oh, well, you gave it a go. I gave it a go. Holy crap. Beautiful. All right. Good. Three. Well done. Minus 83 through seven, boys. Lovely. What we got? 131. That’s actually my number, but not with wind. So, I don’t know about you guys. 131. Grant, chip a wedge. Oh, I tell you what, that’s money. Oh, what a shot. I’ll take it. That’s a great Please be the club. Get up there. Get up there. Am I get a nice bounce? I mean, oh, it was dead straight. What a read. What a two. Woo! We are twos. Cruising. We’re twos. Grant decided to walk. Just leave me alone on this one. He’s just having a chat to himself. We are minus 9. I know. I keep coming back to the one at Raangi. It was our first break 50. We shot 55. Go check it out. It’s really cool golf course. But we really struggled on the par 3es. Today we are flying on these par threes. So it’s two twos so far. I’ve had an eagle. We could do this. Like this is on. This is actually on today. The ninth hole. 305 m. On a normal day, this is actually reachable, but it’s going to need something special today. Oh, he’s done it. Oh, hold it. Hold a line. Yeah. Okay. About 20 short. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Beautiful. Yeah. That’s no good. A little bit into the wind. A little spinny. Yeah. We’re taking yours, Sean. We’re taking yours. You’re not going, Grant. No. Sit down. Sit down. Nope. This is horrible. No, not like that. It’s not. Oh, what a bounce. Go in. Yeah, that wasn’t great. I’m going to go a bit higher into the wind. So that’s in your favor. Perfect. Oh, I love the way you play. Go, go, go. Release, release. Sorry, guys. Travel, travel, travel. He’s left to put short and scramble. Oh no. What was the punishment for this? Oh, I I think he has to jump in the sea at Y Marama. He’s done the same thing. Looks like I’m going in the water as well. If If Sam leaves it short too, I think there has to be a forfeit for all three of us. That’s not going to happen. I won’t do it for America. Criminal. Break. Pulled it. Oh no. Pulled it. Boys, that wasn’t the time for a paw. Not what we needed. Oh man. I pulled it. I tried not to pull it and then I pulled it. Yes, Grunt. That’s money. Come on. That was literally perfect. So Sean hit like the perfect shot already. So, uh, what about mine? Okay, yours was great, too, right? Best one of today, but as Sean outdid me again, but you know, I’m just going to try to keep up with Sean here. Happy with it. Hit a little low pinch shot. Oh wow. Wow. That could be really good, couldn’t it? Yeah, that could be A1. Well, I’m more familiar with this side. The the few times I’ve played Hastings Golf, by the way, what a beautiful golf course. Reminds me of home. Reminds me of a nice inland parkland kind of land track back home. Each time I played here with you, Sean, we played back n so little bit more familiar now. You know where you’re going. Little bit of a hiccup there on number nine. Was um disappointing, but it’s going to happen. It is going to happen. We We just need a few power through here. This We have to eagle this hole. This is Yeah, this is a musty. I think we need four or five eagles now. Let’s just knock them off one at a time. Let’s start here. Oh no. Turn over. No. Oh yes, stupid. Go. It’s bleeding a little. Guys, we’re in a bit of a pickle, aren’t we? Here, Grant. We’re in a bit of a pickle. Who are we blaming? Who are we going to blame here? Probably me. Uh, not really setting the guys up. Not great. It’s not taking the pressure off. It’s not you, Gra. I reckon we blame that guy. Like he’s he was in the bunker. Yeah. Where were you? Well, okay. I mean Okay. Well, I’m not a great chip of the ball. I’m gonna go with the Texas the Texas wedge. That’s not going to help. Oh. Oh, I think that bounce helped it. Sam, you stupid dumb. Okay. Head down. Stroke. Beautiful Grant. Minus 10. Minus 10. All right. Was a bullet. That actually might be okay. Yeah, I think that could be pretty good. Oh yeah. Oh, that is so good. That actually might be okay. That is perfect. Oh, that’ll be nice. All right, Sean, what’s the shot here? The shot is a 58. We’re going to land it just short of the shadow of the flag. Oh, it moved to the right. I’m going to blame the wind. Nice chip. Great shot. Bummer, man. Get that eagle. You can tap that in with a wedge. Tap it in with a wedge. Here we go. Give me a Give me birdie. Hold on. Okay. Minus 11, boys. Nearly lipped out there. 303 yards. 303 y. This is in the wheelhouse. Wind off the right. He went for it. Just straight. Just a worm burner. What do we think, Caddyy? Do you think driver or throughwood? Definitely driver. Travel. Chance. Travel. Kick. Go. Go. Nah. It’s going a bit high, man. Not what we wanted. It’s in good shape normally. So, you cut it for Justin Rose. I have. You You’ve met Barack Obama. I have. Who else? Fortunate enough in March 2018 when he’s really at the top of his game, uh, Ricky Fowler came and played and, uh, yeah, he seems a cool guy. He really is. So, I would like to say that everything that you think about Ricky or you perceive of Ricky is true. He is an unbelievable guy. Nice. So Ricky was riding the car. I was objected to be there. It’s part of the club mandate. Yeah. And he was very obviously very cool with it and I didn’t want to annoy him, but Ricky wanted to talk straight from the first hole and he was, you know, interested where I was from and what have you. And but one story from that day that sticks out, the 16th hole, you might remember it, Sean. It’s a long par five, great hole, signature hole, Island Green. He bombed his drive down there. It was probably 605 and he 285 to the hole, 254 the bulkhead as this green is out there on an island. And he goes, “I wouldn’t normally do this in a tournament, but he goes, it’s just hits and giggles, right?” I said, “Yeah.” He goes, “I’m going to go for it. Give me the 3-wood.” So he gets his 3-wood out and we’re all around it. You know, the member who’s a friend with him who brought him along. As soon as he hit this 3-wood, it’s like nothing I’d seen before. It would just left the club like a missile at the middle of the green. Frozen rope. I was actually flabbergasted when he hit I was just like and it was going kind of through the wind with the wind and I was like I just knew it was there and Ricky was admiring it was at the top of his flight and Scott goes get there and Ricky just goes it’s there turned away and put the club in the bag before it even landed really and it landed like a butterfly with sore feet in the middle of the green. It was phenomenal. Never forget it. Never forget it. Did he hold the putt? No, we didn’t. We had 20 ft but uh tapping birdie. Nice. Good. Have a look. Have a look. Ah, pretty straight, was it? Yeah. Beautiful. That a boy. See what we can do. Holding one will be good. Minus 12 through 12. Oh yes. Got to be good. Oh, that’s so good. Nice shot. Just beyond the flag. Love it. Shag green. That was seven iron. If that helps. It does help. You guys hit it longer than me. Great sh Thank you. He’s just done it. Guys just place shots in order. Sid spin in the hole. My eyes aren’t that good. How’s it going? Oh yeah. Got to be tracking a It’s good. Yeah. 6 feet. 7 ft left. Okay. Uh 171. Uh, I’m just gonna hit a seven iron. Okay, Sean, I got you. Little seven iron. Have that wind take it right. I’m done with golf. Over it. Where’s my bag? All right, we’ve got you. I don’t even think I made any contact with the ball to be honest. I know how that feels. Yikes. Actually, where did it go? Just short. Oh, that’s pretty good. That’s fine. I’ll grab that. Quitters never win. Winners never quit. Let’s go, Sam. We got to keep going. What was that phrase? That was big words. Quitters never win. Winners never quit. Let’s go. Could be pretty straight, couldn’t it? I like straight. Yeah, I think I’m with you. Let’s go. No. did just go. I really call it. Hold your head. Please hold your head. Yes. The man. That’s huge. Yes. Keeps us alive, baby. Keeps us alive. Great. Three twos. Three twos. 13 through 13. 1300 13. So I think on track would be would be 15. Yeah, maybe 16 probably. But it’s another two guys. Minus 13 through 13. The best we’ve ever done on break 50 is 55. Okay, that’s 17 under. Let’s not think about it. We’re still trying to break 50. That should be the mentality. Yeah, you’re right. He’s right. We’re doing it. He’s right. Keeping us going here. I’m going to make a big call here. This is 326 m, right? It’s downwind. There’s a dog leg right. I think this is drivable today for you definitely and and for you too. S the big American high high ball high bomb. Yeah, I like this guy. Trying to work it the other way. Yeah, never mind. Oh no, that’s not where we want to be. It’s okay. Your country needs you. My country needs me. My team needs me. I haven’t really Uncle Sam, your country needs you. I haven’t hit a drive that I really want to, but uh this is the time. This is the time. I’m actually going to take it even more direct. Even further right, I think. And draw it back over those trees. I Well, I think the line is actually It’s like that way. Yeah, I agree. Over that one. Like it’s pretty far right since we’re close. Well, that sounded pure. You talked to me. You’ve set that too far right, haven’t you? I mean, I don’t know, but I didn’t see it. It’s pretty far right, but I mean, the green slopes left, so like it might be okay. I think it’s a 52 for me. I think if I can land it into the fringe, hopefully it just pops. Oh, that is delightful. Sick. Don’t run away. Don’t run away. That’s okay. Pretty good. That same. Beautiful. Beautiful. There we go. 30 13 under. I’m loving this. Let’s go. You’re smashing it. Are we 14 under? We are 14 under through 14. I’m just going to try and draw it kind of off that tree. Show us the way, Grant. Oh, I love that. That was brilliant. Missed the tree. Oh, definitely it’s running. Oh, good shot. Did he get up? Yeah, I think it’s just I think he’s just short. I can see it in the gap here. Just short. It was though. Graham, what do you think of New Zealand? Tremendous country actually. I really enjoyed it. I’ve been here for a lot. Been here a while now. November 27th. Uh first cricket match was in Christ Church, South Island. Blew me away. I mean, just the drive from Christ Church to Pikton where you get the ferry to the North Island was something like I’ve never seen. So yeah, beautiful country, great people, great weather. I mean, a lot to like, great food, great wine, good beer. So yeah, this is a tourism advert for in New Zealand right here. Yeah, it sells itself. I don’t need to sell it, but come to New Zealand. It’s something you have to do in your life. Um, I don’t want to be that guy to tell you that, but I’m going to be that guy to tell you that because you need to come here in your lifetime. It’s simply breathtaking. I tell you what else is going to be breathtaking. This drive that Sam’s going to hit here on the green. Let’s go. That’s my man. All right, Sean. Um, just like Grant said, I want to hit a beautiful drive. Little high draw. Little high draw. Land it right where your ball is. It’ll trickle onto the green. Okay, I like it. [Music] Well, the idea in principle was that, you know, I think what the problem was is I just I think my hips fired a little bit too quick. Maybe see if I can make it happen. Get out there. Go on. Go, go, go. Good effort. You’re going to hit a good chip. I have to hit a good chip today. I’m going to use this Trist 9 iron. Trist the NR. Yep. Go in. Rattle it. Oh, I love this. Great chip. Great chip. Great chip. Thanks, guys. Got 112. I’m going to try something here. I’m just going to try and chip a nine. Yeah, I like that. Little chip shot. Little par three. Keep it down. I’ve got lots of balls in my pocket there. I like that anyway. I like that play. I think one of those is mine. I’m going to hit a uh I found this tea today. See, I lost that tea today. I’m sorry, but I have it now. It’s a great tea. Thank you. Oh, go in. Go in. Oh, yeah. Turn over a little bit. That is not great. No, it’s not turning over. We need something here, right? Come on, Sam. Okay. What What shot are you hitting? My team needs me right now. I got a 46 degree. So, a pitching wedge. Really? Okay. Um I’m going to try to hit the same shot Sean did, but not if that makes sense. You know, I’m not going to do I’m not going to go right. I’m going to go right at it. What’s in your mind? It makes sense for me. Oh, he’s played one. That is delightful. How about go in? Seriously, get up. Oh, and spin. Oh, what a shot. Six feet. Great shot. Oh, good. These part threes, baby. These part threes. We got them in the bag, boy. There it is. Love it. I love it. Ready, baby. Great shot, son. Set us off there, dude. Well, you know, teamwork makes the dream work, babe. We’ve made four twos today. We are 16 under. I don’t want to say it. I I know you don’t mean to say it. 33 finish would be a mess. 3-3 finish would be unreal for us. 19. If anybody’s watching now and they’ve just skipped until this moment because you can do it on YouTube, go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. It’s a little bit annoying. You see how this ends? Well, yeah. You see how it ends and then just go back. Go back and watch this because I promise you there has been some unbelievable golf. There has been some good golf actually. Yeah. Mostly from you, but um No, from all of us. Well, no, we we we set this up here to We’ve just got to finish it off now, though. We do. Still a lot to do here. All right, Grant. What do we got here? Par five, I believe. I’m looking at the board here. 422. 450 yards. Maybe a little more. 460. I’ve not done that. Not good. No. No. Missed the tree. Missed the tree. Dead. Okay. Pass the tree. That is like There’s something weird about that ball. Where’d it go? It’s right down the middle and it’s trottting. I mean, I like it. All right, 133. I’m going to try and hit the same shot that I hit on the last hole, which it was 112 and I was probably somewhere near 15 yards deep on that. So, just going to try and chip an I9. Came out of it. Yeah. Be the one. Be the one. Go in. Get up. Just short. I mean, it still gives us a lot cuz the flag’s at the front. That’s so bad. Hold it. Hold it. Whoa. Birdie, what’s the dealio? Sean, where are we at? We’re at 51 shots. Grant’s about to smack one down the middle. If we make a three, we beat the best ever break 50 on Yes Life. Oh, he saves his best till last. That was beautiful. Good hit. Get left. Get left. Oh, okay. Oh, I chunked. What? Up the hill. I did it again. Where’d he go? Down the right. A little. Yeah, down the right. Oh, B. Grant. Grant. What a time. Oh, baby. I love it. Yes, boy. Thanks, coach. Oh, Grant. What a shot. That was the swing. That’s what I’m going to do every time. What a shot, Grant. Thank you for 54. 54 and a new record for Yes. Life. Oh, hate to see it. That’s dead strike. Not going to lie, I’m a little I wasn’t nervous. I wasn’t nervous at all when Grant was over it. Now, now two people down to break the record. So, it’s dead straight, right? Dead straight. That broke right to the round. That’s kind of ruined my uh ruined my vacation. I got to be honest. It’s ruined the vacation. But yeah, I’m I’m absolutely devastated about this. I mean, it’s just the boys gooded. Guys, were so gutted. Vibes are at an alltime high right now. Any thoughts? Well, I’m going to be selling my clubs here, I think. That was just that was just How was your first bear fight and yes life? Well, I absolutely loved it. And I love that eight iron I hit in there, but the I mean, I might as well just duffed it on the front edge and made a good two putt. I mean, doesn’t make any difference. Doesn’t count for anything if you don’t make the pop. You know, Grant, I thought you did a wonderful job, though. Overall, you know, like we can’t be 55 is 55, guys. That’s respectable. 17 under. I know, but I’m leaving with a tinge. It’s It’s going to leave a sour taste for I guess you’re going to have to come back. Yeah, maybe we can film one more before you 24 hours on a plane to the UK and I’m going to be thinking about that putt. That’s how much I’m going to be thinking about that putt, too, cuz I swear great fun. No, honestly, it was great fun. I’ve been sat on the couch the last two days. I was not that keen to leave the couch. I’m glad that I did. It was great. Sean, Sam, you played great. Thanks for inviting me in. Thanks for having us. Thank you, Grant.

We’re back for our second attempt at cracking that elusive sub-50 score-and this time, it’s on home turf at Hastings Golf Club. I’m joined by two friends: my good mate and assistant caddy master at Merion Golf Club, USA, and Sam from@bearfight_golf

We’re teeing it up from the yellows and chasing redemption after our first attempt at Rarangi Golf Club. Will this be the round where it all comes together?
