i haven’t had a blow up yet
do Let’s go
oh 400 i think it’s like 410 there’s trees in the right rough i’m just going to try to stay left of those and uh we got to hit a drive driver wasn’t working in the front N so let’s get it working now good luck Josh thanks James you too play well munched robert Munched there we go i got trouble right trouble left try to hit her down the center oh we’re aiming in the left trees to start oh the right trees
nice shoes by the way thank you they are the comfiest shoes I’ve ever worn oh hang on get left i think that’s another I think that’s like hole one on the red nine we’ve already played that hole another fairway in here like I got 40 strokes still to catch them i don’t know if I’m going to be able to do it that’s a lot of strokes in two rounds of golf so lot yeah but like I said I am way Oh nice you know what this calls for two iron two iron let’s see what he can do here with a two iron from a 18 handicap is this just a putt or what this no fullon cut oh you’re you’re going for it no no why don’t you just go straight out to the right i’m going for it that what was that the gap
no wrong gap okay okay
i missed it by like 6 ft i just wanted to double check that’s not your cart door over here over here fairway missed all right guys we got 112 the flag we got the wind off the left pushing into us a little bit so I’m just going to flight a gap wedge in there try to control it try to keep something below the flag if I can [Music] oh stay there okay we’re below the flag hey ball thank you downhill i think you’re probably okay leaving it short if you wanted to lay up here yeah I usually do i don’t like that tree there though you’re not going to hit that just follow through low what do you got 56
hit like a little punch gap you hit a gap can you keep it low if you try no no you can’t
on my two iron I hit like 200
just hit it you probably You’ll probably put it through the tree anyways there’s no way that tree is in your way yeah there’s It’s right above you you can’t hit it oh get Oh
get sandy don’t get in the sand remember that blow up we were talking about
we were talking about the T- box here it is nice little par chip that’s going to be fine it’s going to be just fine that’s not bad no yeah
i didn’t I don’t even think I got close to one groove there that’s why you never have to clean the grooves
well you have to hit a groove to be able to clean them just trying to be an efficient golfer uphill it’s going to It’s going to slide to the left hard let’s get something going here come on break thought that would break for sure up that hill
it didn’t break at all not one centimeter just dead straight not even a millimeter no mulligans or no we always finish out hey I’m happy par to start the start this nine off it’s for bog this is for bog yeah someone’s happy over there really yeah i think they just got it off the tea box and they cheered well man I’m trying to putt here and the shit’s going on now i’m in my head you look good though thank you like hat matches the pants and you just got this big dog staring at my face right now good read
we always finish out no no gimme no gimme yeah give me a seven whole one in the books this is part two of the travel series here at Craig’s Resort if you guys like this please hit that subscribe button it means the world to us like this video drop a comment what you think how you think this series is going so far and hey it’s free just obviously avoid the water on this hole yeah trying to hit it in that sand over there 158 James into the wind trying to fight one back there 7 just avoid that water anywhere between that flag and that bunker should be good I think right on top of the flag is good too yeah nice bolt that works we’ll do God’s work out here the only time I’ve taken a divot was probably with my driver yeah that should be just fine
i think so should be just fine
yeah it’s all right not going to hurt you it’s
not going to help but So I was so scared of that water there so I aimed at that bunker cuz if I
at the right bunker
so so it went where you’re aiming
it went exactly where I’m aiming but it didn’t fade
so would you ever take that line that I took no no chance
this I’ll bring this up just to scare that ball just don’t leave it short this is really good this is really really really good that is so good wow
wow
definitely better than if I chip going a little bit right you think it’s six or seven feet James
eight i think I don’t know did I push that looked like it started out here instead of here and I missed it good part i really wanted a deuce
got to find a way to make money on this i really want to in the heart
you said dollar to miss it you made it so you owe me a buck make me putt that you know I don’t miss that
no I’ve never seen you miss them just a couple on the front but that’s a good par
i couldn’t make that putt again if I had a thousand chance
putt it again this might go in
this might go in oh [Music] three this way
yeah I can read i remember now though like cuz I played this nine before i never played the other nine and that’s the new nine that’s their brand new one they just opened up this year was the in video one you guys got to go watch that i like that
i remember now though
man going to try to hit a cut here i think I’m going to have to retire this ball that doesn’t happen often where I actually wear a ball
this driver this time and see how it goes
i would into the fan so let’s make a good swing it’s
somewhere by those trees
yeah that went way left you aimed over where you wanted to anyways
yeah and I yanked it i didn’t really aim there fairway
good layup
hit the fairway
yeah hey can’t be mad about that hidden fairways this one’s ours you can’t i was going there
oh yeah sure
it’s a nice little sage buff though where’d you get that from i took it off one of the carts it’s
like the keychain
yeah i was like “Fuck this.” $25 for a divot tool i’m taking that
oh i got a long way in the play here
yeah driver little bump and run
yeah see if I can top one into
play the role James play the role into the fan a bit hey
did you just wash your driver off in the club wash i don’t know what this means but I got the L i
think that’s a seven
oh oh man what am I doing okay now I’m ready
loosen yourself up there
my feet were doing the happy dance ah that sounded pure looking at you it looks like it’s left short not very good not bad though sounded good my ball flight’s so high cuz from what I’ve read it’s cuz my my club speed is so high i compress it so well it just flies off the club that’s what I’ve heard what would you use from here James you got 107 two iron got to keep it under these trees and over the next ones not not an easy shot gap wedge from 107 into the fan i don’t see it oh I think it’s either in the bunker or it’s just short right of the green
yeah it’s tough to tell from here tough to tell seems like it’s just safe to like hit it out here might just put it on the green somewhere and kind of hope for the best how would you play this James i’d skull it yeah okay pretty good since I gave you advice what would you do here
i would take like a lob wedge and just kind of bump it onto the green and let it funnel down to the hole oh that’s for me not for you i would put that if I were you yeah I’ll go with the putter wedge was the play wedge was the play yep like how does everything run dead straight no give me as we finish everything you want it out
no
no leave it in please bold strategy cotton he’s got to You just got to get a lag pud here you know didn’t you just lag it no no those might chip you got both lips covered putting for birdie was that double
no that’s not a putt you’re off the green
yeah you took two shots to get to the green and took four shots around the green
sweet give me a double double double all right 418 yards like feels like we play a lot of holes into the wind here all right so picked up another stroke on James there so didn’t you get two didn’t you get par there
no I was two in the bunker three cut yeah so uh up three on this one it’s kind of right on par so I just got to make sure I got to find some more strokes than just one a hole if I want to climb back into this so we need to start making some birdies that felt so good finally felt like I extended through the ball for once what’ that ball do to you even though we are in a match I still want to be friends
i love the color combos
the tan
the tan with the dog but then you got green shoes
yeah I only have one pair
no you got a second pair the same shoe
the same shoe yeah i wear shoes with you that shirt on i wear shoes for comfort and I buy good toilet paper cuz if your ass hurt left going don’t worry you’re going to be short of them cuz you like poop
it’s in the fairway you hit that like 300 y
thank god I have this driver i can hit 200 y you got to admit that was well hit though i’m still in a fairway
418 hole so wasn’t 200 it was 210 sorry you’re probably okay to lay up here James i think I can go right over it okay good luck i got a three iron you’re going over it with a three iron yeah okay good luck have you seen my ball flight oh so you’re going around them no over it trees are 90% air good lap
and I hit the 10% tree good layup good just trying to think you think the wind’s going to affect this ball it’s a little bit behind us
it’s not behind us we’re into it 143 to the flag i’m going to hit a nine iron i think short here is okay so let’s make a good swing line be the club good nice ball thank you
i’ve only had one i might have to get another dog power up good layup James
no you got it on no good layup a lot of guys won’t don’t don’t have the balls to lay up from 60 yards putt wasn’t the play last time so chip this in for par yeah putting was the play this time i think mistakes were made oh this thing is nice i might start using this oh jeez settle down hit hit the hole be nice if we can knock this in get that bogey back oh thank you no gimmies we always finish up i just want to get off this hole
what’s this for
huh where’s your clicker what’s this for
this is for break it’s good no game you got to finish it yep thank you give me a trouble what do you think of the course
it’s really nice the hole I think is a little smaller than what I’m used to cuz I’m missing all these putts but other than that it’s pretty good
four or five holes two holes left
yeah that makes sense 32 holes up left you’re up 34
four yeah we’re clawing we’re clawing back
yeah oh I’m helping a lot
so we can take it over the trees here 300 away 300 to the I think I’m just going to take it over the right edge of the trees kind of draw back and hopefully hit that 150 marker yeah it’s hot dog time go on get down get down okay
beauty that felt better than the last one
that thing was munched
yeah that felt really center in the face center of the face what’s that like aim at that tree let the cut do its thing have a long way in let the cut do its thing let the
Oh no
come on just cover it cover it you’re safe
i didn’t hear nothing
you’re down in the gully but you’re fine
sweet let’s get it back to the fairway
yeah I think so try to I just got a three iron kind of putt this thing try to get it a little closer than Josh but hopefully you get it a lot closer than me
h We’ll see that’s really good get out could run down there a little bit for you
yeah usually I would try to hit my big slice but
that’s that’s pretty good
that’s pretty good cuz I’m You’re anything
with those trees in the way if those trees weren’t there I could probably go for it a bit more cuz natural cut cuz apparently I swing too hard i don’t know that’s what all these pros keep telling me so
like like AC
no no no
notice my flies down this whole time pays to advertise boys you got all over that thing this is a long 170 into this fan so I’m thinking it’s playing like 185 just going to try to hit a really good sixiron let’s see i don’t know this could even be a five this wind’s picking up yeah this might be a five iron now that’s crazy all I know is I’m getting chilly five iron and I can’t decide what to wear so cold 19th hole 19th hole stay there probably was a sixiron
probably
yeah way too much did you get enough dirt on that
oh yeah that’s going to grow real nice what I really want to do if we can can take a bunch of these home cuz my grass at home is getting really rough so after the round make sure you take those two i’ll take these two we’ll just take two every round and then I can redo my yard you know what I think it is i think I’m going to switch to these Snell Prime 3.0 balls it will increase my game hey boys want to make sure you like follow and subscribe we’re on our second hey boys make sure you like comment and subscribe on this video if you haven’t subscribed already get it done let’s go ball below my feet it’s going to cut right does that matter really for you though
i don’t know
but yes it does like you’re okay like aiming middle of the green with this shot like
it’s not going to cut as much with this distance that with this distance
i can’t talk right now so Tell me lies tell me something else oh come with me and you’ll see oh left spin on the dance floor that was just a bad bad club choice and uh let’s just try to get this on the green and hopefully we can make it a little crazy up and down and say park cuz you don’t want to make bogey after that drive it’s going to run way past this is Oh no bye well there’s the time to make a putt oh like if this is for birdie I’m definitely missing it who knows it’s for par so maybe this goes maybe I draano this thing like see I don’t know how to read a green so I’m literally just looking at this and going right edge cuz it looks like it’s going to go that way a bit it’s pretty straight did not move an inch no gimmies right in the heart
just always bottom of the cup never finish always finish up 153 pins at the front so it’s tough i like right in between clubs like to hit a pitching wedge just like a club down wind but just a tough pin location to get the wedge there so I’m just going to hit a little n iron knock it down a little bit long should be okay here oh that’s not very well hit it is on the green still dancing how long you been golfing for James two years two years athleticism be an athlete just cover should be really good if it covers are you right by me
i think so yeah putting contest
even let’s say you’re middle of the green here like that looks like that thing is going to skate away did you just carry or is that me
i don’t know i’m using a Snell 3.0
well that’s why you put it on the green
i know like I don’t know what I’m doing i come back here and I look at it and I have no idea what to do so I’m just going to try to hit it in that general direction and hope the hole gets in the way give the kid one good effort i like that putt not bad roll i like that putt we got to make something happen just got to start making it i got it like a just a ball to left just a pace putt come on do something for once oh I hit that really well am I even lined up properly
i have no idea yeah that’s good make me putt that i haven’t missed that since I was six you watch any TV
not really okay what kind of music do you listen to again not a huge music guy okay i think it’s like 500 so there’s a 150 steak you’ll see out there i’m just going to aim at it hopefully hit a draw he in fact did not go X felt good where is it right at the 150 stake are you aiming for that thing
yeah I said I was yeah
oh okay
yeah the driver swing feels a lot better on this nine
i know i said I was going to go do but there’s not
I don’t know if I can
why not now’s the time there you go now’s the time be a man aim at that tree
trouble left trouble right try to hit it down the middle
trouble short
trouble short oh yeah okay
you didn’t see that
i did but I wasn’t thinking about it now I am
just commit to it that’s not going to hurt you it’s not awesome not awful almost got a fairway out of the rough it’s fluff
it’s fluff
it’s fluff
it’s sitting well
it’s [Applause] I think that went right that went right yeah
I hit it well good contact
good contact i don’t know yardage but I’m just going to hit a seven iron and lay up hopefully I get it past Josh’s ball holy thank you i don’t know
it is it is really downwind though isn’t it has to be cuz like I just hit that like 330 so I’m not hitting that unless I step
yeah but you’re a big boy no I’m small i lost some weight no but like big
it is uphill be the number come on be good come on
i really hope it’s not
come on be really good i really hope it’s not last time I used the ball walk us through how you think through this shot i want to know i want to get a I want to get an insight in James’ mind here
i don’t know if you do man
little huzzle yeah
yeah well it’s the same thing
like I said that’s why my uh grooves stay so clean cuz I usually don’t hit him oh my this is going to be Oh a little right little right that’s fine a nice pelt though
yeah beaver pelt
actually yeah beaver pelton just like just like the hat Brett has on right now a little snack for later that’s almost better than a green and rag i lick my balls all the time or do you know what though tapping birds are like a nice little treat to
I got to see that though
you got to see it
no gimmies you said no gimmies right at the We got to finish everything out nice roll thanks
it’s a par putt which way is it going
i don’t know just just guessing just hit it at the hole boom let’s go yeah back to back par since I switched to the Hey we’re one under as a group last two let’s go
we’re uh boys are rolling and it’s a little fun par three short it’s It’s fun
yeah it was downwind when I played it last year but it’s downwind again
it was downwind again okay 135 to the flag and it’s 117 to the front what are you thinking i’ll probably hit gap wedge
okay here you go is that the 50
yep
nice and dry god that was an move
it wasn’t really nice
that was so bad but I’m having fun like it’s on a it’s on a cord to retract and he has it zip tied up so you can’t retract it like what’s the point of that josh 117 to the front
oo i don’t know if I got enough club for that nice ball it’s just tugged right in the middle of the green should be right around where I am oh we got to kick left too that might just be a little short seven total you get a hole in one does it count or do you have to finish you can’t you can’t see it
no like like let’s say you have
you finish your round but you got a hole in one on it
oh that counts okay
as long as it’s on a real golf course like if it’s on a par three course or uh like a pitch and putt absolutely not
doesn’t count
i don’t think par 3 is on like I think you have to distinguish that like this is like probably one of the most talked about topics in golf i don’t think a hole in one par three course should count like if you do get one obviously it counts but you have to say I have zero on a real course and I got two on a par three course okay how about this how about on a simulator no
okay well I have
It’s a simulator hole in one you I think there’s different categories but I think the true ones only count on the real course
like I tell people I have a hole in one and they go “Oh really where?” I was like “Bluejack National 6 176.”
You don’t say simulator
no I do bluejack National 176 99 yard carry rolled in and they say “Oh really?” And I say “Yeah.” Did you say 176 yeah 99 carry i have the ball at home still that’s next level
i think you have to where’s this putt going
i have no idea it’s got to go that way a bit
it’s got to go a little left i think
that’s what I’m thinking oh boy it’s got to hit a house
yikes
hit the carts good layup a
little frisky there
wrong club choice there i think
I think he wanted that one that really didn’t give me much information but it’s going to go left so I just got to get the pace a little bit better than James should be easy no gimmies don’t Don’t touch it no gimmies cuz we got to finish everything out back to back there we go i think I’m like starting to feel something now and we’re almost done for the day so that’s that’s always how it happens right you always play well and then want to play more after and then you get on the first nine again see I’m a front nine golfer
i’m a back nine player oh no oh no oh we might be seeing a for putt come on now come on now clutch up can’t see a for putt disgrace i’ll take that for you
thank you no I got it i got it i’ll meet you guys at the next hole i just got to walk this one off green and rag to bogue
double
double yeah sick
that’s a five
sick 479 327 to the back side of that bunker on the right 277
how far to carry that or how far to the front of the bunker
277 okay so I have to go left with that so just left to the right bunker and you’re good here
sure okay you think I’m going to give you advice i just for
Yeah like asking the 20 handicap here 18 whatever you are for advice let’s make a good drive with the left side i’ll just That’s fine
i think you’re just short of that bunker
yeah might even be on the right side
you’re on the right side yeah yeah it’s okay wasn’t hit well compared to Oh DoD like it worked well for you on that the last par five you made par
yep that’s a draw oh man that is hammered though opens up over there i don’t think so after a four putt had good contact on it and then didn’t trust my line thought I was going to cut didn’t so try to get out here somewhere got a 50° in hand josh you’re not safe there i’m not maybe not just trying to help you see if I can see it trying to be a good friend over here trying to bail out to the 150 basically that’s That’s so That’s really good as long as I just make good contact we should be good i got like 196 you see it you don’t want to be short here play at 120 James yeah
you just don’t want to be short even left of the flag is okay something nice and easy don’t Don’t pitching wedge nice easy scald no that’s so good go in the hole [Applause] [Laughter] so snowballs i think this is going to go pretty hard to the right plus we got the wind coming off the left so I think it’s going to even make it break even more i think we’re slightly downhill be nice to finish with an eagle it would shoot under par on this nine so two putt shoot even it’s got to be a two putt it’s got to be minimum of two putt that’s good i We got Hey no game he’s got to finish out hey that’s even par on this night i’m I’m really happy with that so solid little 200 under last four holes this is huge James first birdie on the channel not even talking he’s just locked in right now i’m confused is what it is i’m not locked in i’m confused i don’t know what it’s doing here
are those guys stealing our gloves are they clean
no it’s just cleaning us a big drop this place is set they’re lefty you don’t need them
yeah there’s no mistakes come on knock it in i want to see it get there let’s go
yes
let’s go a birdie from the trees
birdie from the trees not bad let’s roll
all right so part two in the books the travel series here at Craig’s it’s good nine well well maybe more for me but like if we’re giving you a stroke a hole I beat you by nine this nine it’s kind of even i shot even par he shot nine over right on the handicaps uh so yeah so it’s great great finish birdie birdie for both of us
yeah it’s not bad obviously I had too many triples you know one is too many and then uh four putts
after a green and rag but
not talk about that stuff but yeah horse is in great shape place is phenomenal thanks for having us out if you guys like this hit that subscribe button comment if I I got what 30 39 or no
