Playing One of Arizona’s Best Golf Courses – We-Ko-Pa Golf Vlog
that’s the kind of Swing you love to have with a wedge I love [Music] that he’s got some soft hands all right welcome back to another video you guys today we are out here at weo Paw Golf Club out here in Scottdale Arizona we are obviously what is beautiful sunny conditions we have a little bit of wind today I think the wind is like a steady 8 half like 10 mph with gust up to like 16 really nice day to play some golf just got to keep it out of the wind a little bit we’re out here at wopa playing Saro this is one of my favorite courses in all of Arizona and today if we can we’re going to try and play a little break 80 and maybe even a break 75 if uh the game is feeling right which it has been feeling really good the last couple days so first te driver in hand you guys know the drill sit just a tad all right it’s going to be a little right wind was off the back pushed it a little bit but we can find it all right just caught this little Fairway bunker we got 50° in our hand we’re going to try and open it up just try and get to the front of the green about 135 to the front and that’s really all we need try and get out of here with the par go get on grass okay it didn’t go nearly as far as we would have wanted yikes okay we can work with it though hard pan hard pan Li our favorite you know how it is but we got about 70 yards 70 yards is so let’s just see if we can get this thing close so i’ would like to start today’s round with the bar with a bar if we can don’t go in the bunker Yik we’re making a mess of the first one but I promise we’re locking in all right shortsighted ourselves just a little bit now we got to get over this over this bunker um yeah this is a really touchy shot that I didn’t think I was going to have to make this early on in the round so let’s lock in check talk to me nicely baby that thing’s sat she likes to listen slightly uphill I think it’s going to be moving just a little bit left to right the putts are going to be rolling and it’s going to be a real I guess expose of my uh my putting game and the work that I’ve been trying to put in on my putter I guess in the last couple weeks cuz as you guys watch my PPC scottd video The Putting was God awful but we have have locked in and we have been grinding on it so let’s see if we can syn this one for bogey let’s go didn’t think I was going to be fist pumping for a bogey putt on the first but God this all right hole number two we got a drivable hole it’s 336 out here from the tips but I’m going to hit a little for iron I think and just lay up into the Fairway uh nice right into the nice large part of the Fairway nothing crazy beautiful so long as that stays short of the bunker oh yeah plenty short yeah nice and easy that’s going to be the name of the game today it’s just getting in the Fairway all right ooh 117 downwind I think this is going to be nice little 58° uh cuz I’m downwind I don’t want this thing going long and I don’t want to take the chance that I accidentally juice a 54 so we’re going to keep this nice and simple with the 58 and just let it kind of run back there and give ourselves at least just a putt at It Go draw spin I think I just didn’t give that enough honestly I caught caught the ball pretty nicely I mean maybe just a tad fat but not enough for it to come up that short I think I just didn’t want to give it enough okay it’s actually like a 96t putt uh 33 or uh yeah 33 yard so this is just hit and hope and if we can get this thing anywhere within 10 ft we’ll be really happy with that oh sit sit just a tad please [Music] God not bad honestly just just a little hard just a little hard I won’t I’m honestly not going to be too mad about that cuz I don’t know how many of you guys spend too much time hitting 90 foot putts but from that distance I’ll take that oh jeez I’ll like that all right so we got about 15 ft 15 ft for par the wind did in fact not hold it [Music] up another bogey to start you know Bogies won’t kill you it’s the doubles that’ll kill you all right hold number three 416 yd Par 3 and uh rip driver we got a little bit of a dog it’s a dog leg left so we can take on the corner a bit here especially with our length yeah we got wind at the back and off the off the left so it’s going to be moving this thing right just a little bit it’s going to take a pretty aggressive line over the corner and just let the wind push us back oh [Music] all right the wind is somehow getting uh exponentially worse now at like probably like a constant 15 M hour maybe even higher than that so we’re taking a drop here hitting three and uh hopefully we can get up and down I’m going to try and hit a little pitch punch six iron over here and let it try and run up that front front lip of the green whoa sit down this is not what we were looking [Laughter] for all right again shortsighted myself the kind of pit shot that I wanted this early on in the round but this seems to be the the trend of day so let’s let’s hope we got soft hands today cover it cover it that was uh oh don’t don’t roll in just stay out of it anything okay that’s that work Works let’s go Mark that or hit it Jesus all right I don’t know if you guys can tell how severe the wind is starting to get to be these are un not normal conditions for us in Arizona I am not someone who’s used to playing The Wind by any means this is going to be a very very interesting day and an interesting test of the game see what I’m really made of here I guess all right not bad we’re going to need to be playing around these greens today cuz these things are slick they’re rolling pure but they are slick all right that is a uh a double that we didn’t want to see bogey Bogey and double bogey start that’s kind of crazy all right par five an absolute Beast of a hole it is 631 yard downwind thankfully and downhill as Al also so if we can get this thing to get over the crest and just hit like a monster drive down there uh that would be sick swing smooth easy straight down the Fairway let the wind just do all the [Music] work just like that now pump that thing wind go oh yeah baby that might be really nice that might be just what we needed okay we absolutely pumped that drive hopefully we’re in a really good spot down here on The Fairway this thing is jangling around though dang oh yeah that drive was huge that is going to be so so good oh this is going to be so nice still a good ways out from the hole um flag is still 320 325 so we’re definitely going to lay up here I think a little six iron just at that right green side bunker should be a perfect little number for us us like 60 yards in front of the green whoa whoa sit please sit don’t go in the desert that’s not a good swing talk about just shutting it down man we can find it I saw it kick around in the desert but it’s going to be not a fun Chip Shot got lucky we’re thankfully not behind this tree but we’re behind we have to get over this bunker which is not uh going to be easy by any means so we’re just going to try and get this thing up kind of just splash it out of this there we go go go run release let two put par and get the hell out of here 36 foot putt banking left to right I’m put I’m playing this thing like 4et outside the hole to be honest taking any second chances on on these putts anymore man cuz these things be snapping so we playing it well out left and uh see if we can get the paase right here that’s it right there we will take that we will take that all day just get some pars get some momentum we don’t want to make this round any more complicated than it needs to be cuz I’m going to tell you right now from the tips this is a hard golf course this is a really hard Golf Course pole number five uh I don’t know you’ll see it on the screen but part three 166 yards from here we got wind really just off the right not really hurting much uh you can’t be long here going hit nine iron stock nine iron maybe even take a little bit off of it aim it at those two little trees over there so I do not want to miss long left oh wow that was really short I’m actually a little confused cuz I thought I hit that perfect like 165 number that’s kind of interesting ended up just short of the green honestly like I said I was really surprised I think pretty sure that’s my pitch mark right there very surprised that that came up short thought I hit a really good number there see if we got some soft hands right here oh sit a little bit longer putt than we probably like from there and I probably clean your grooves man just clean your grooves that’s all I got to say h not your best not your best work right now Eli not your best work yeah you know guys another drill big Drive needed here a good drive needed here more than anything favoring the left side of the Fairway cuz it’s dog leg left slightly into the wind if that carried that is going to be so unbelievably perfect that was so well struck all right we just carried this bunker absolutely Ely perfect Drive probably some my best work on a t- boox right there that is one of the best shots I think I’ve hit in quite some time all right we got 134 left to right wind or excuse me right to left wind a little bit hurting I’m just going to take a pitching wedge and just kind of like kind of like like a 3/4 just kind of punch shot right here get it right up there on the Green settle stop moving left okay not bad I mean that wind is just really taking the ball man all right like a 40ish foot putt try and get it close it’s really all you can do here it’s not like it’s really all you can [Music] do how does that move left the whole green is slow that’s kind of throwing me off right now see getting it to stop behind the hole like that is crazy three p Bogies are not what we want to see today yeah number seven drivable par 4 but it’s blind t- shot so it’s pretty dumb if you actually hit hit a driver here um I’m just going to hit four iron try and go for the fat part of the Fairway and uh go from there turn [Music] left it’s going to be a little right just a tad all right honestly this is why you lay up cuz I thought I was lowkey kind of boned on that t-shot uh but you know we ended up being all right because we picked a good Target we got 130 to the pin I’m going to hit a little 50° here just a little knock down 50° ah sh kick right into the bunker that’s going to be so much fun great chance to work on my short game short-sided or actually not even really short sided we got a lot of grain to work with just this like little pot bunker kind of it’s not really a pot bunker but she’s uh she’s pretty tiny she’s pretty tiny clean lie though if we can get this thing out we’ll be really happy great opportunity to work on the short game not bad just caught that a bit fat yeah [Music] do it come on baby come on what a great opportunity to work on my short game what a great opportunity I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work on my short game let’s go you guys can see and hopefully you guys can hear me for one I’m sorry if the uh the audio is tweaking out just cuz the wind is ripping right now but uh number eight long par five short par five 515 yards okay let’s go uh short part five 515 yards but it’s going to be into the wind a good bit uh we just got to get a drive out there and in in the middle of the Fairway if we can we’re going to play this thing pretty far right and just let the wind hopefully take it a little bit left absolutely beautiful I think we might have a little bit of a long way in but I’ll take it thing kind of Spun up in the wind where’s my ball ah there we go actually in a pretty solid spot yeah in a very solid spot have two 240 in maybe go for an eagle all right 240 in uphill slightly into the wind I got five wooden hand right here I think this might be just the club I don’t know if that’s going to be good or not that might be bad all right I will say is that that fivewood is a club that it’s either going to be perfect or God knows what so um I’m still learning how to hit that club consistently the way I want to and I mean I hit that thing center of the club face I just don’t know how far it went to be honest with you with the wind cuz it could be short or it could be long like 30 yards right so we’ll see we’ll see well maybe it’s in this brain side bunker that might be that that’ll be ideal to be honest with you I hope it is De God please this might be one of the luckiest breaks I think I’ve had in a minute um I don’t know if the camera sees where this there’s a pitch mark right here and my Ball’s right there I could have skirted in the desert and been any number of terrible places or I could have been in this short like 35 yard pit shot or 35 yard bunker shot massive bunker so being right here is pretty ideal given the other the other options we got got so um very happy with this and hopefully we can try and take advantage play left of this pin excuse me I don’t know if you guys can hear that but the coyotes are going crazy oh chunk chunk and run just go be on the putting surface okay wow I quite literally hit an inch behind that ball ball first contacts ladies and gentlemen probably a 20ft putt right here up the hill if anything just favoring the left side of the [Music] hold go go oh oh the line looks so good line that up we’re not going to take any chances here all right a par thank God we’re playing the par five’s even par right now that’s the only thing we’re playing well all right not my uh not my best work on a front nine but we are getting better we’re getting better the game is is improving and we’re starting to get a feel for where we’re at right now cuz uh we’ve been doing some some Tempo I guess drills and stuff like that and it’s been working really well for us in the range and just like in some of our practice rounds but um getting it to apply in a video where you’re like where the camera’s out cuz I’m telling you if you haven’t played like YouTube golf where you’re actually setting up a camera and you’re it’s like a it’s there’s like a certain like Aura to the pressure about it it’s it’s completely different it’s different than like a tournament setting it’s different than playing with your friends it’s uh I don’t know something about knowing that this is going to be on the internet and a million people potentially I mean but it’s more like you know 20,000 or 10,000 whatever is this video is going to get but it’s you know potentially a million people could see this video it’s just there something in the back of your mind that’s like don’t get The Yips and you do every single time so uh hold number nine part par three fun little hole uh let’s get to it all right number nine par three 145 Ys got PE wedge in hand going try and just you know keep this one under the wind a little bit kind of hit a little Punchy little Punchy three or PE wedge oh and it went in the bunker but again a beautiful opportunity to work on my short game so let’s beay un ruthlessly positive here bunker shot here very makeable bunker shot probably got to carry this like honestly pretty far we’re going to have to try and kind of pick this thing clean here go oh that’s so nice oh that’s so good look at that what do we say honestly a great opportunity to work on a short game honestly I don’t think the other camera is going to be able to do justice how severe the slopes on these greens are but these things are something serious couple balls maybe a c maybe two Cubs out right just hopefully let this thing slide in the hole uphill though so hopefully it doesn’t snap like I think it’s going to do it do it do [Applause] it that would have been a really nice pour that would have been a really nice pour God you hate to see it all right honestly not the nine holes that we wanted um I think we can do better than that I know we can do better than that hole number 10 a very getable hole very getable par 4 that was coming up right now so um just got to lock in just got to lock in cuz we’re actually swinging it really well we’ve just made a couple you know stupid mistakes here and there and uh that’s costing us a lot of a lot of Strokes so far so we can just elated a couple dumb mistakes a couple you know three putts a couple you know it is what it is it’s just golf it’s just golf at the end of the day but there’s a reason why Saro is my favorite course in Arizona I don’t think any other course quite Compares cuz the views you get out here especially at this time the mountains just are covered in Shadows the course the bunkers everything just it looks very dramatic it looks beautiful man I love I love Desert Golf this time of year it’s hard to beat it really is number 10 short par 4 337 to the pin uh I’m going to hit fivewood here and just get us somewhere nice and comfy in the Fairway cover please all right that’s fine you’re just on the rough front pin 50 yard pit shot to the pin just going to go just past it and uh use the slope as kind of a little back stop all right left ourselves short here and we’re shortsighted so what a wonderful pit shot this is going to be got just a little too little too aggressive with it there I mean dude there’s like two yards of green to work with so I don’t know we’ll take what we can get at that point a much longer putt than uh i’ probably would have liked on this hole especially downhill like this and this thing is looking slick as the grain is going downhill as well so hopefully this just hits the pin and we can walk away from here with the bar I mean that’s that’s excellent Pace right there absolutely excellent pace can’t even be mad about that I didn’t even know what direction that pup was going to move either really we’ll take it we’ll take it all right par three 2011 yards from right here this should honestly be almost like a perfect seven iron hit a good one and uh see what happens cuz With the Wind helping us pins at the back could be looking at a really nice shot here honestly not sure where this uh where this right Miss is coming from today I mean maybe ah ball position yep just had it a little too far forward in my stance that’s what it was I already know now damn hey look at these guys got some Havalina right here eating the grass enjoying the course what’s up brother the little feral Hogs we got around here little pit shot right here I will say those Havalina you got to be careful with them cuz they can they can be pretty nasty if you uh if you mess with them a little too much so you got to just kind of let them be and do their thing but they are they are relatively skittish for the most part it’s only if you like back him no corner but uh we got a little pitch out right here I’m going to honestly just try and get cute with this see how close we can get this thing to going in he’s got some soft hands he’s got some soft hands come on baby talk to me nicely actually we like to see around here how we like to see out of you Eli I mean I would say that’s good but you know for formality sake we’ll just uh we’ll tap her in you know that almost lipped out I’m not going to lie to you hole number 12 yeah hole number 12 wind slightly into two and off the left mainly just off the left pretty straightway do par par four settle just a tad I think it should be fine I caught that a little bit off the heel I think it’s short of the Fairway bunker but if not we going to be in a fairway bunker all right 186 to the pin I got seven iron in hand we going to choke down on it just a tad all right that’s not a bad Miss that’s pretty good spot to miss it but I don’t know where this uh this this fade is coming from I don’t know what I’m doing right now I mean I guess maybe I’m just turning through it rather than yeah I don’t know got to figure that one out got to get my draw back honestly I don’t think I really could have missed this ball in a better spot if I tried oh you got under it too much release release release okay that’s not terrible I never claimed to be Phil Michelson around the greens all I claim to be is the BMW the ultimate driving machine not quite yet but we’re getting there we’re really getting there very soon that’s going to become our name across YouTube is BMW and it’s going to be Undisputed so George Bryan I’m coming for you and uh we’re going to have to put it to the test one of these days I think I pulled that but damn the pace was good honestly very happy with that simply because Pace has been such a problem for us as of recently so the fact that our Pace has relatively been really nice all day we’re going to take that as a dub cuz Lord knows we’ve been struggling with that that long par 4 470 yard from back here but thankfully today we got wind at our back so we’re not going to be absolutely murdered by this hole hopefully just put a good stroke on it with the driver see what we can do from the Fairway oh go please that was so far off the heel it wasn’t even funny wow see so I can don’t know if you guys can tell but if you look out in the distance there look how beautiful those mountains are I mean this lens just isn’t you know probably zooming enough for you guys to really see how just dramatic and beautiful that is but this time of day I’m telling you there’s nothing better than Desert Golf all right we unfortunately somehow made it through all the desert that I mean it’s a miracle we made it through the desert but we unfortunately found this Fairway bunker get lob wedge and hack out of here and try and get up and down for par cuz yeah not a great start this hole but let’s just just figure it out as we go I guess yeah that’ll be good enough for me uh this is actually a really nice number for a 54 that is real nice that is real nice that’s the kind of Swing you love to have with a wedge I love that got a little putt for par here about 15 ft almost exactly I think it should be breaking just a little bit right not a ton just a little kind of snapped on me low key par five 500 and 38 yards from back here split Fairway um I would show you guys the hole but it’s like directly into the Sun and you guys aren’t going to see anything anyway so I’d rather you at least get a good look at my back swing for get a good look get my golf swing try and go up the left side up the left faway here I think it’s okay I think it’s just the left side of the Fairway like the left side of the left side of the Fairway we’re running out of light here we got to hurry up five wood in hand we got about 255 to the pin see if we can try and get this thing up there could be good it’s just short right a little bit but damn that thing looked really good in the air little green side shot got to be aggressive here a grooves are dirty need all the nip I can get on this stroke right here can’t be short cuz a false front is green missed that tier and it’s not going to be looking good oh we kind of Chunk and runed it oh we chunked it that’s so close to catching that nicely all right tough putt here thing’s going to be swinging left to right and it’s downhill and I mean I breathed on that I barely even hit that for what the for how long that putt actually was we’ll take that all right I mean we’re not playing the par 5S bad at least everything else we got to work on the par fours and the par 3s have not been uh not been super strong today but part five has been good so we’ll take that win long part three here very long part three here 255 yards that is not what you want to see in the scorecard but luckily my home course uh cage Canyon we have a 245 Yard part three that I play literally every couple days or like three times a week so this whole used to be really intimidating to me now not so much so it’s really playing closer to 220 today which is a relief cuz that means I can hit a five iron and be very very very very safe oh no draw come down the hill honestly could have hit six iron right there really could have hit six but not a bad not a bad leave for us right there we’ll take that absolutely we’ll take and we were a little bit long like I said I hit five iron I really could have hit six and been perfectly fine but a long either a long putt or pretty manageable chip history says we should putt it but we’re going to chip it anyway because what a wonderful opportunity this is to work on a short game oh go in really close really close and I actually feel really good about that and I’m glad I hit that hit that shot we are running out of daylight really really fast so we’re going to have to kind of play some speed golf here if we want to get all 18 in oh and you hammered it Captain Hammer hands what are you doing uphill par 4 not super long has a really really tricky green getting a good t-shot just onto the fairways is really really necessary pretty simple hole after that that should be fine yeah I think it’s should be either just on the rough or on that Fairway bunker right there on the right this is actually a very long bunker shot um that I’m actually going to try and like thin it with my a 58 and just see if I can get it up L on the green oh go just skip up that thing hit the sand one two three times before going out and uh somehow still ended up on the green I’d rather be lucky than good I mean just look at that look at these beautiful views from up here man gorgeous desert views this is why I just I’m telling you I can’t get over how amazing it is to play Desert Golf this time of year nothing competes literally nothing competes a 48t putt roughly we need to somehow get this thing close go get up that hill ah yeah a you hate to see that I mean I guess it’s better to be under the hole in this scenario but it’s like I just want to get off this bogey train man I’m telling you like I play decent golf like I get myself in decent spots been granted like Fairway bunker not great but I find my way on the green and then it’s just like my lag putting is just horrendously like I don’t know sometimes it’s good sometimes it’s sometimes it’s cheat I don’t know we’ll see that’s one thing I would definitely need to work on more more than anything I mean look at that look at that oh in the heart stupid bogey such a stupid bogey all right 402 y par 4 pretty straight left Center of this Fairway and just Let It Fade a little bit get ourselves in play here not what you wanted to see on that all right 162 yards we’re going to have to take a drop here cuz uh that thing was cooked so 162 yards see if we can got pitching wedge on there and go from there go go oh just short caught her just a little chunk uh got to speed this up a bit but little chip nothing crazy very simple set Oh I thought I had that nicely too I thought that thing was going to check up a little bit terrible double right there not a great finish for this round last hole 500 yard par five this is a long course honestly 5508 yards what the marker saying from right here but got to hit a good drive down there and then even then we’re still going to have 200 yards 200 yard I think that’ll be okay should be fine just left side of the Fairway all right 222 yards it should be a perfect five iron right here losing light that might be the best golf shot I think I’ve hit all day oh that was beautiful oh my God I wish you guys could have seen like I don’t know if the camera picked it up but how beautiful that ball just kind of like disappeared into the light oh all right I can’t even read the green here I’m just trying to get Pace right settle curl back yeah very nice very nice that is actually pretty solid right there literally had no idea that I was going to move left nice bar way to end that all right thanks for watching you guys out here at Twilight golf not my best round but an enjoyable round
