LIve Simulator Golf Tour TIPS Tour Winter 2025 Procore Championship @ Silverado Resort @ Spa
What’s going on everybody? Welcome back to the simulator. Welcome back to the channel Turbo Talon Golf on YouTube. It is the 11th of September, 2025. Uh, it’s either a good day or a bad day, depending on how you look at it. I think we learned a lot. I think we learned a lot about ourselves as a country on that day. I remember I was in uh Air Force technical school when that happened. But uh that’s not what this episode’s about. It’s about golf and wherever it is I put all of my head covers. Okay, today we are going to play another round with the Pine Meadow Golf. Fine meadow golf. Can I get it in frame? Um, one length irons. I can’t get crap in frame here. I don’t even know why I have a camera right here if I’m being honest with you. But I got some uh Golf Pride MCC Plus4 midsized grips on here because the grips I was using yesterday were man, they were regular grips and they were they just felt so small in my hand. Um and that’s going to be five through gap wedge. And then I’m going to use my own um my normal wedges. But uh today I’m going to play the uh Sim Golf Tour uh tips tour, which is not a great idea. And I’m using the uh Square Golf launch monitor. It’s still connected and the battery still hasn’t died. So, that’s good stuff. Uh, tips winner 2025 Procore Championship, Silverado Resort and Spa North. I think I forgot to put the North part in the title. It doesn’t matter. Let’s play round one. I’m sure it’s going to have some pretty terrible settings for a amateur, no beginner golfer such as myself. Give me auto putt set to four. We’re playing black TE’s, which are 7,200 yards. Thursday pins. Green firmness is normal. Stimp is 12. Fairway firmness is normal. Wind is breezy. And uh per the usual, we are at sea level. Let’s get it loaded up. Check some settings, check some other stuff, and then um play the rounds. Good old golf clubs, baby. Good old golf clubs. Cell phones didn’t really get popular until I was a year or two out of high school, which was back in 1999. And I remember whenever I checked my phone, I wanted to have a text or a missed call because it meant somebody, I don’t know, was trying to get a hold of me or wanted to drink beer that night or whatever. But now when somebody gets a hold of me, it’s cuz they want something. Typically, there’s a handful of people in my life that get a hold of me because they genuinely want to know how I’m doing. But the majority of the people in my life text me when they want something. I’m not saying this is abnormal. What I am saying is that when I pick my phone up now, I’m relieved when I don’t have a missed text or a missed phone call. Let’s check the graphics settings with the F button. Looks like we got plenty of overhead here. We’re running at about 110 frames a second uncapped. Let’s make sure the graphics settings are cranked all the way up to uh NASA supercomput and that we have um 3D grass enabled. You can see we have OB along the left. My miss with driver is typically to the right. So maybe we aim a little bit over to the left. And uh let’s get teed off here. Yeah, there she goes. Maybe we’ll be Nah, we will not. We’re probably going to have tree trouble, actually. So, uh, it doesn’t say I don’t have any stats on how far over to the right it was. We got 234 into the pin. That’s That sucks. These uh woods woods are kind of hard to hit until you’re warmed up. Now we got about a 160. The grips on these clubs made a big difference. I don’t know. I don’t my hands aren’t what I would consider to be large, but they’re certainly too large for standard grips. I don’t want to give this putt away. It took us too many shots to get here. Bogey on the on a 7200 yard course is just fine with me. 236 yard par three uphill. Let’s see if we can get a 3-wood down there. Heck, I could probably hit driver. Oh, she’s she’s going over to the right. We’re nowhere near the We’re nowhere near the green. That’s uh That’s a little bit out of my range for accuracy. Is uh that their shot? We’ll keep on trying though. It should get better as I get warmed up. Oh, that’s nice. We’ll take that little par. These fairways are super narrow here, but I can’t I can’t sacrifice the distance because of the back T’s. Oh my gosh, that’s crazy. Yeah, we’re going to have tree trouble on that shot, too. Uh, continue to strengthen up the grip and try to keep the swing shallow. You can see we got a tree right between us and the pin. Let’s try to not do that too much more often there because now there’s a camera on it. What’s up, man? What is up? That’s probably the best uh that’s probably the best we could have expected out of that particular situation there. Still got a buck 28 in. I’m not exactly sure what club that is, but we are getting them a little more dialed. New mediumsiz grips helped quite a bit. I’m not pulling them as bad anymore. That’s a good shot. That’s a dang good shot. So, that carried 132. You can see we got a nasty little grain here. We’re going to be going downhill. You’re basically just going to leak this over toward the hole. If you make it, you make it. But consider yourself lucky if it’s just a two putt cuz I think we’re at 4ft gimmies here or two foot gimmies. Would have been nice to leave ourselves a little closer than that. We’re probably looking at a three putt here. Oh, we got her. Bogeies, guys. Bogeies in the tips tour. The SGT tips tour are they’re to be expected. And I’m frankly, it’s pretty dope that we even got one par here. I fully expect to shoot a 90. probably just need to be okay shooting uh 30 30 to 40 over for the round for both rounds. Just get the hell over it. It’s happening. I will take that members bounce off the uh cart path. Now we got 111 in. Probably going to hit the underside of this tree, but is what it is. Oh no, it was still almost a good shot. Hey Shanken Birdies, do you have a tracking number for that launch monitor yet or is it just hanging out in the ether? And I don’t know if I already asked you this, but who did you order it through No tracking yet. Is that the only thing you’re waiting on? Because it looked like you had a net and a hitting mat already. Okay, these greens are not going to give us any leeway today, guys. So, we got to be hitting true and we got to be We got to be putting. The only thing keeping us alive are these uh magical two putts going down. Rain or shine offered a military discount. Sweet. That’s pretty good. That’s pretty good. I didn’t even I don’t think I even asked those guys. No, you know what? I did. Uh, I think I bought it through Carl’s place or the indoor golf shop or something and it had this I’m sure you’ve done it before. It had this thing where you go like prove you’re a military person and then it said something like that discount doesn’t apply to this piece of equipment or something. Okay. Luckily, the driving is okay today or we’d be doing quite a bit worse than we already are. Uh, but it’s the tips to so it’s not nothing’s going to be easy here. 283. Oh, you’re only waiting on a launch monitor. Damn, dude. Where did you say you were at? because I’m just using this one for fun. Oh man, I was like, if this goes far enough, it’s going to land under that tree. There you go. Right under the damn tree. As planned, Texas. That’s crazy. Are these greens? These greens feel like they’re I think they’re regular greens, but the way the ball lands 19 ft. Uhoh. Uhoh. A birdie on the tip store, dude. Preposterous. Uh, we might be all right. I can tell. Uhoh. Yeah, we’re not all right. What do we got? 246. 246. Uhoh. Infrared shut off. Uhoh. Uhoh. Let’s see if the arm disarm works. All right, it worked. God, if I’d have just known that. Are you going to be running GS Pro or E6 or what software are you going to run? Well, probably GS Pro, I would guess, if you’re thinking about getting on the old Sim Golf Tour. Disregard that question. All right. So, what was that? That was a gap wedge that went 110. Uh, that kind of sucks. Yeah, man. I’ve tried a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot of simulator software. There’s nothing like GS Pro. There’s nothing like old GS Pro. What’s crazy is when you buy a launch monitor and they uh don’t even let you connect to GS Pro, you have to use their little native ecosystem. It’s kind of like trying to use a Ryobi battery and a rigid drill or a DeWalt drill. Like it it just ain’t going to work. Oh, I needed that to drop. That sucks. Yeah, the square golf software software is pretty decent. I have a couple of videos, couple of three videos playing some of the software. What’s crazy is you don’t even need a gaming PC to use that software. You can run it on a PC, and that’s what I personally run it on, but you don’t need to. It’ll run on an iPad or a tablet or your iPhone. So, that’s pretty cool. Uh, if that goes far enough, it might be in the bunker. That’s a long par three for me. 215 yard par three is long for me at my skill level to at least to do with any accuracy. Yeah, everybody wants their pound of flesh, dude. I’ve given Skyrack a bunch of my hard-earned money. Unicor, the list goes on. The list goes on, sir. These grains are not forgiving at all. Maybe if I buy some Vokis, I’ll be able to put some backspin on the ball. Wouldn’t that be fun? Would we have a good time then? Oh, come on. Okay, that was just a regular bogey. That’s fine. Tips to hard. Okay, looks like we got a cart path to contend with, but it is not OB. OB is not okay. That ought to be fine. That ought to be fine. It ain’t going to be far, but it’s straight. 225. Okay, we’re playing 130 with a bit of a tailwind here. Let’s shoot with this nine, guys. I’m bouncing. I got three rounds of golf coming up. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, cuz today’s Thursday, and I’m bouncing around the idea of using these $200 these $200 uh single length clubs on the on the real golf course for a round or two cuz I don’t keep score anyway. So, it doesn’t matter on that front really. But honestly, a new set of grips made made a huge difference. Like I just smoked that ball way too far. It shouldn’t have gone that far. Probably just bought us a little bogey. This ball is going to not be nice to us. Nope. That’s gonna probably go off the green again. So, we’re doing the walk of shame. We’ve just hit over the green entirely. Let’s see if we can not thin this one. That should be in the gimme circle, but it’s hard to tell. Okay, another bogey. gaming channel, huh? Yeah, you might have to let me know what that is. I myself I’m a huge gamer nerd. 279. I was actually going to start like when I was too sore to play physically, I was going to start doing like uh rounds rounds of like Tiger Woods PGA Tour from the old P2 days or hell, I was going to even go back to like the original monochrome Game Boy golf. That’s a sky ball there. What do we go? 175. And now we got some tree trouble. Where do we actually need to hit, guys? We still got I I I absolutely can’t stand when I do when I hit crappy off the tea on a long par five. Like it makes me it makes me want to choke a a baby animal. I was waiting for the sound of that branch. Yeah, I like that. I’ll uh go check out your videos, see what kind of what genre we’re talking. That’s a solid little shot. That actually might work. Oh my goodness. Even after that crappy drive, it looks like we’re close to the pin on in three. Uh should we putt or chip? Let’s go ahead and chip. That’s more fun. I’m all about the I’m all about the uh experimentation in golf. Not really much else. But I was running these I was running these jumbo golf pride grips here. They’re okay, but I think the midsize is a good uh it’s a good middle ground between the ones I can barely grip the damn small ones and the jumbo ones I think take away a lot of your uh your feel. getting that cup. It’s my jackof alltrades channel now. I do gaming and cooking. Decided to create a new channel for sim golf. Yeah, man. Are you going to try and make a business out of it or just put minimal effort into it? Now, those aren’t the jumbo grip. Are those like Bryson D Shambo size jumbo grips or just like a the one I just showed? Good old Bryson D Shambo, baby. That dude’s all right. I think he gets a hard time. Yeah, I agree with you. It takes me It probably takes me five or six hours to edit a golf video that on a round that took four hours to play. It’s pretty lame. It ain’t my cup of tea. I’ve got better stuff to do. My day job obviously takes up a lot of my time. I guess if it was your only hustle, that’d be pretty sweet. That ball did not want to fall in the cup. Like it GS Pro was trying its hardest to rip me off there. Okay. 180. Yeah, I uh I was doing video, but Flying Fat Kid and I were talking and he’s like, “Dude, it’s all about live stream.” I’m talking about my outdoor golf rounds, though. It’s kind of hard to live stream those. I think uh you’d just be a nuisance on the course. I’m already a nuisance on the course. That might be all right. It’s a bit of a stinger. Oh yeah, we’re going to be just fine. That might be a hole in one. Oh, you’re going to make me putt, huh? You’re going to make me earn it. A pipe fitter by trade, huh? What exactly does that entail? Like are you a contractor? Do you work for a particular company? You don’t have to mention any names obviously. Hey, thank you It’s going to help with some of these uh bogeies. Tips to hard, dude. If you’re uh if your driver’s on point, you can get down the fairway pretty well, you’ll have a chance. But if not, expect some pretty uh demanding rounds. So that’s uh that ball has gone directly directly left and there are trees conveniently placed everywhere on this course. So, it looks like I might be all right if I can keep it low. 180 to the pin. Ah, son of a biscuit. Make sure you’re in the hitting area and your green. Your light’s green. The square doesn’t like. There you go. You guys, these clubs, you literally you hit the same shot over and over and over again. You line up the same exact way. You don’t have to worry about moving the ball between your feet. It’s the same exact shot every time, which is what those clubs are designed for, but I guess I really didn’t understand the hype until I had a proper set of them. Uh depending on what kind of bounce we get. We didn’t get a bounce. Damn it. Fixing whatever the operators mess up. I know exactly what that means, but it’s different in the application I am meaning it in. Get in the hole. Yes. I uh I don’t know much about that industry, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that that’s probably decent money, which is good because I want to see all of my brothers and sisters making good money. And the reason uh I know there aren’t many sisters is because I was looking at my uh viewer demographics yesterday and it’s basically me watching myself play golf. The demographic was like 38 to 45 year old males and 1% of my viewers were female, right? Golf is obviously a maledominated sport. And I don’t know how many I don’t know many women that would want to watch a bald gorilla play golf in a simulator. That’s going to be another pop fly. This one decided to go left. Uh we might be okay. Just going to have a long ass approach. Yeah, it’s good to hear that. There there’s a there’s a certain um com complaining about stuff helps to a certain extent. Like I want to get this off my chest. I want to talk to somebody about it. But at some point in time, it just gets to the point where you’re like, “Okay, dude. Change the record. or doodad or whoever it is that’s complaining to you. Uh but it’s nice. It’s nice to see somebody who uh can’t complain. Okay, that was uh that was the first terribly offtarget shot I’ve had with these clubs today. I don’t I don’t know what happened. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention to the lie. Yeah, I don’t I don’t have any kids personally, but my buddies at work, some of them have kids that are starting to get to the age where they need to start thinking about what they want to do when they get out of high school. And I’m like, right, this may not be great advice, but I’m like, don’t don’t go to a traditional college. Go get a trade. Go learn how to do something with your hands. Something that like a robot can’t replace five years after you get your degree and you’re still paying your student loans for the next 40 years. Go learn how to weld. Go learn how to do something else. or at least if you’re going to get a degree, get a STEM degree. If you’re gonna get a degree, some sort of art degree, just know that you’re probably going to be relegated to being a some sort of a professor or something at a university. Like, I don’t know very few people that make a ton of money with those degrees outside of that. Oh, that one bent right in front of the hole. What’s that? a double. That was a rough hole. They had that that approach shot went way over to the right. Uh what do we got here? Hey Owen. Uh I’m not familiar with that terminology. I’m fairly new to golf. What does it mean? because I get a whole bunch of people in this chat ranging from you suck at golf to other topics. So, I don’t quite know what that means. I could Google it, but I’m lazy. That had a strange trajectory there. Probably didn’t have much spin because it just fell out of the air. That’s some uh brutal honesty, my friend. That is some brutal honesty. Uh my my brother and sister lived with my parents until they were in their 30s, at least late 20s. They’re both doing all right in life, but man, I was I was I was out of my parents’ house the second I could get out of there. My I didn’t get along with my parents. I was the firstborn child on both sides of the family. I did not get along with my parents, so I got the hell out of there. But yeah, that’s some brutal honesty. I hope uh I hope she finds a good paying job. Okay. The five iron seems to go anywhere between 175 and 200 yards. And believe me, I’m not complaining about that. I’m going to do something you probably shouldn’t do here, but I’m going to actually going to chip on the green like a dingus. That landed so hard. Dang it. There’s no telling it a if a if a putter would have got any closer, though, honestly. Yeah, I think uh I think I was 18 or 19 when I left for the military, but uh I’m sure I wanted to leave when I was 17. I think it’s uh I think it’s funny hearing my dad complain about stuff my grandpa does, but he also does the same Okay, so this hole this hole’s got water on the right and it’s right there at that right there at that out of my range range. So, I say we go for it, but probably aim to the to the left a little or a lot. I don’t even care if I’m in that sand trap. Okay, it’s going over to the right. I’m guessing it’s wet. Uh, this ball might ricochet off of this uh retaining wall. So, I don’t know what to do because I want to I don’t want to eat a stroke. I want to play it as it lies. We’ll see if I can get it in the air. 29 yards here. We’ll see if it ricochets off this retaining wall. Yep. Shoot. So, off the retaining wall into a bunker. We were better off just moving back because there’s no guarantee this is going to stick to the green anyway. That’s one of those times when you kind of pick your poison and hope it works out. But typically if the ball stops at the retaining wall, that retaining wall has colliders and you need to kind of be weary of it. This round is taking way longer than I thought it would. Okay, we got to make sure the ball is in the squares hitting area. Get in that cup. getting that cup. Okay, we’re taking we’re honestly taking a few more doubles than I wanted to if I’m being completely honest. I wasn’t planning on taking this many double bogeies, but we’re still all right. We got lateral hazard on the left, OB on the right. Got anything in the chat? Nope. Nothing in the chat. We got a tailwind. This is a good opportunity to maybe get one down the fairway. Bend it over. Oh man, that sucks. That felt good. We should be all right. 220. That felt a lot harder than 220. We have got a long ways to go. We’re in a foreign land here. Let’s uh give this ball a little smack. Ah, that’s not a little smack. It’ll work. It’ll work. We still got 205 to go. That’s crazy. That’s crazy talk. Uh well, come on. You going to fade over or what? Oh, it’s going to hit that tree. Bonk. Okay. Another another kind of rough hole. Tried to get that up in the air a little bit cuz it was running. It was going to run away. Uh, I don’t even know if I want to touch this, honestly. 12 ft. Ah, that thing’s just keeping on keeping on. And so we were 12 ft away and now we’re 17 ft away, give or take. So we’re actually in worse shape than we were to begin with. Just going to go back and forth past the whole Happy Gilmore style here. These events, These events are very punishing. And that doesn’t count the punishing you’re doing to yourself. I think that was a triple or a quad. Just a regular double. Move the mouse cursor off the screen. Uh yeah, I’m not going to pretend to remember to do that, but I’ll move it over there. I had it hidden, but then you couldn’t see what I was pointing at in the uh opening of the video. Uh, what are we doing here? Okay, that’s an interesting little shot. You got to love when you aim left to uh accommodate your shot shape and it goes uh left. What do we got? 180. It’s going to go left. Wind’s blowing right. Ah, that ain’t bad. This is a 400 yard par4. This shouldn’t This shouldn’t be this hard. Uh 39 here. Let’s just hide the cursor. I think I can make it go away completely. Uh properties. There we go. Shouldn’t be able to see it at all now. This is tough to say what this one’s going to do. Tough to say 9 ft. Probably ain’t making too many 9 foot putts. Uh, okay. 18th hole is a 600 yard par five. Doing way better than I thought I Good. Excuse me. 250. We still got 330 to go. Gotta love the tip store, baby. Oh, don’t go that way. Why in the hell would that ball have done that? Huh? Okay. Uh, one. We got a tailwind in. Let’s just give this a gentle whack. Dude, I honestly don’t care what you do on my channel. Just don’t call me late for dinner or whatever the saying is. 13 playing 14. Oh my god. How many of those have I had this round? That was nutty. All right, there’s your scorecard. Shot an 85. I was expecting to shoot a few strokes higher than that. That’s not bad for the tip store. There are your stats. Uh this is what’s going to get you is these doubles. That’s eight strokes on its own. Four fairways, four greens. Not too bad. Let’s bust back out to the GS Pro splash screen and play the second round. It’s been a long time since I played the tips tour. Uh, play round two. So, now we’re playing firm 13 stimp greens, which I typically don’t play, but you guys can uh you guys can uh watch and enjoy my misery. Let’s get it loaded up. Oh, I Yeah, I already knew what your other channel name was. I uh I might look stupid, but Well, I am. Looks like it’s the same course. Um, let’s play some golf. The square golf launch monitor only had that one senior moment. That’s a high fade bounce left. I think we had Yeah, we had tree trouble last time, didn’t we? How far do we got to go? 239. Let’s see if we can get the 3-wood underneath this tree. How many videos do you have on that channel? What type of games do you play, if you don’t mind me asking? Is it like retro gaming or the pornographic games off of Steam? Ah, dang it. I hope it’s the second one, but I doubt it is because YouTube would have banned your ass. They’ll ban you for every anything. You give me copyright. I played a Star Wars themed course and I got a copyright checkup. It was awesome. It was awesome. It’s obviously for the music. Like it is copyright infringement. just like I’m not I’m not making any money off of the transaction. So I don’t know. I don’t know. Copyright infringement to me is a strange little animal. Okay, I tried to land that as close to the pin as I dared to because we got firm 13 stimp grains. So, these are probably going to give us hell all day. And by all day, I mean the next 38 to 45 minutes. Uh, I think this ball has reached end of service. We’ll use it on the golf course tomorrow. Yeah, I’m not monetized. I uh I’d have to check to see if they deleted the audio because I can’t remember. This one looks okay. What are we doing here? 245 yard par three. Oh, good golly. Well, well, well. See, when I uh Well, I don’t hit shots like that on the golf course, fortunately. I rarely ever go under the ball in here, though. So there’s some dynamic that I don’t quite understand that makes it a little different. Okay, we’ll take that. She’s going to roll. Hey, for golf’s sake. Yeah, it’s good evening for me. Uh, I’m still I’m still playing the uh Pine Meadow clubs, but I got new grips. I regripped them today with some uh medium grips, and it seems to have changed the entire dynamic of the club. It’s pretty weird. Like, I’m not I’m not pulling the ball anymore. It’s pretty weird. Golf is a weird weird sport. Yeah, I didn’t get an email. It just says it just says copyright next to the video. I honestly don’t care if they delete a video anyway. Like it’s not going to do anything to me, man. Every time I get solid contact like that, it’s to slice town. And that doesn’t happen on the real golf course. So, it’s got to be some algorithm with these launch monitors cuz I don’t really hit those type of shots on the golf course, maybe, but once or twice around. It’s not every single time like it is in the simulator. Uh, as for what I’m playing, I’m playing the tips tour for this week because why not? 75 yards. Okay. Yeah, maybe that’s it. I’m actually thinking of taking these clubs out onto the course tomorrow where they can actually do some real damage instead of just in the simulator where it doesn’t matter. There’s another uh there’s another popfly. I would imagine the top of my driver is just getting cremated. No, they must be hitting at the top of the face. So, 165 yd drive. At least it wasn’t on a par five this time. Yeah, we got to wrap up here. I got to stop yapping so much. It’s dinner time. That was pretty thick, but still worked. Oh my goodness. Okay, it’s going to be easy for this one to get away. Just got to touch the ball. Still didn’t go in if you can believe that crap. That’s absurd to me. It’s going to make me putt again. Dude, Boom. Completely unnecessary double there. That should have been a par. We’re We’re playing a lot worse in this round than we were before, which is to be expected because the greens are now firm with 13 stimp. And usually I won’t even play firm 13 stimp greens. I’ll just skip that round. But we’re already camera rolling. What’s the point? That’s another one off the top of the head. And it’s a dog leg, right? So, we’re going to be screwed. Oh, yeah. We’re right up in that trees. Can I get around it? Or do I eat a sim? Do I eat a sim drop? What do I do? Let’s just play over into these people’s backyards and see what happens. Jack the lift on your driver to its max normally reduces slice. I’m already running 10 and a half degrees, but I could do that. I don’t slice on the golf course. It’s just in here. Oh. Oh. Okay. Yeah. My uh my shot shape on the golf course is typically straight or fade. It’s nothing like it is in here. And I’ve heard a few people complain about that. I don’t know what it is. Well, that was a golf shot, I think. Wow. Probably could have hit a eight iron there. Yeah. So, you feel my pain. I almost gota I almost gota like make my grip overly strong to not slice in here. Uhoh. We will pay dearly for that mistake. You guys, if you don’t have to play 13 stimp firm greens in GS Pro, don’t do it. You’re just going to get pissed off. Yeah, I’ll be I’ll be fine on the golf course all weekend, but then I’ll come back into the simulator when I get home from the golf course and it’s like Slice City, so I got to aim all the way over here, do the whole aim to the left, rigma roll, and then uh Yep. Yep. You know the you you know the routine. Like I’ll I’ll play a super super aggressive grip here. Yep. See, it still did it. It’s at this point I just kind of am like I don’t care anymore. Like it’s a it’s basically a video game so I don’t get too bent out of shape. Now, over the winter, over the winter when I’m playing in here, and I forget how I did out on the real golf course, I’m sure it’s it’s going to start to affect me. Must have had the face closed on that. That tree helped us out. So, I I could do that for golf’s sake, and I will. I got my SIM 2 driver over here. It’s my second favorite driver. Unless somebody stole it. Where the hell did it go? I’ll jack the loft on that all the way up. Is this the SIM two? No. Where the hell’s my SIM two at? Is that it? That it right there? I think I found it. So, all I could use So, you’re saying to use a different driver in in here than I do on the real golf course? And then I’ll jack the loft all the way up. That’s actually a really good idea. Let’s try that. Okay, that’s the maximum loft I can run on this SIM 2 Max is 12 1/2°. We’ll see what it does. But I don’t hate that idea. What shaft we got on here? A five. A stiff shaft. That’s no fun. All right, let’s put this over here. We’ll put the uh ping in the bag. You know what? That’s actually a really stupid idea here. I’m going to be super late for dinner. What I’ll do is jack the loft up on the same club and then I’ll just change it when I get to the golf course. Sometimes I wonder how I can breathe and blink at the same time. You know, One hour later. One hour later. All right, there we go. We’re back on track. We’re back in black. Crack a lac. 39 yards. You know this ball is going to scoot. Man, it just goes and goes and goes. I think maybe uh maybe it’s got something to do with the fact that most launch monitors only look at so many inches of your swing or your ball flight, excuse me, dude. I cannot sink a putt today. I cannot sink a putt. Just go in the hole. My HLA was perfect. Just go in the damn hole. This is not hard. Go in the hole. Man, that was another unnecessary bogey. Seven over after six. Ah. Okay. 218. Oh, get up there. Get up there. Roll up there. We might get out of here with a par. We might get out of here with a par, folks. That was a fivewood. The ping fivewood. Good shot. 21 ft. Playing about 27 28 feet here. Ah, boo. HLA was not good that time. Um, oh, I remember this hole. So, let’s see if this loft had any effect. I think I was able to jack it up to a degree and a half over. So, we’re still not running much loft. at all. Uh, that’s that’s not any good. That’s not any good. That just cost me two strokes. God dang it. How do you even hit that far left, dude? Just more crap that never happens on the real golf course. It’s quite fun. Quite entertaining. Probably great fun to watch. Uh yeah, that shot shape looks quite normal. Uh we’ll keep experimenting with it. Quite normal. 108. We’re already on our fourth shot. Boy, I’ll tell you what, guys. I cannot stand penalty strokes. Like, if you’re going to shoot yourself in the foot, do it yourself. You know, do it all by yourself. Bounce up there. So, if if you’re speaking in very technical terms, hitting a ball to the left is Well, I guess you would want you would want a draw or a hook is the opposite of a slice, man. Nothing nothing will fall. Okay, double bogey. Do we got another driver hole? Oh, yeah. We got a driver hole. This hole is uh quite long. Let’s see if we can get a hold of the ball. Where are we hitting? Super over strong grip. Uh that ball might might have gone to the moon had it broken Earth’s gravitational pole. Uh, but now we’re really in not in good shape. It wasn’t even 200 yards. Driver just doesn’t work sometimes. If you’ve got a nice wide open course, you can keep trying to force it. Um, that’s really up to the golfer. Colliders are in full effect on this course to the point where it’s semi unrealistic, but I can’t even hit a straight ball. So, I really have no room to talk. Yeah, I’m starting to thick everything. Probably probably shouldn’t play two rounds today cuz I got three rounds of do outdoor golf this weekend. But I don’t keep score on the golf course, so it doesn’t really matter. I’m just kind of out there to have a good time. I’ll probably start keeping scoring another season or two when the game’s a little less erratic. Just see these guys out there scribbling on their scorecard when they’re done with the hole and they’re pissed off. They’re not having a good time. It’s like, dude, golf’s expensive. Have a good time. Oh, it’s going to make me putt again. Dude, this is getting to be like child abuse at this point, dude. We’re we’re we’re uh we’re not doing very well at all. This This is a This is a crazy shitty round of golf. I can’t I cannot hit driver at all. Um, let’s keep trying though. Look at that thing. Look at that thing slice, dude. That’s absurd. Yeah. Let’s probably lay off the driver for the rest of the round. It’s not doing anything really but hurting us. Um, and then we can use it where it works, which is on the real golf course. That’s what matters. That’s what matters. Not in the video game. Honestly, everything’s a little sicey if I’m being Oh no, not another one. Oh no, not another one. You got to be me right now. 10 over bogey golf’s your kind of golf. Look at this cart path. No, you guys do not play the tip store unless you like being punished. Thoroughly punished getting your uh turd cutter kicked in. because you’re going to get it on the greens, you’re going to get it off the tea. It’s probably not worth it for most people. There we go. That ain’t bad. Did we just go OB twice on one hole? No, I don’t think we did. That’s crappy, dude. I think OB’s Like two two strokes. That’s a little bit punishing. I think. Oh my god, dude. Was that a quad? These greens, dude, they’re brutal. 15 over, man. I think we I think we only went 10 over on the uh first round. That’s crazy. Let’s hit a No, we got a headwind. Starting to get stiff. What do we got here? A chip shot that’s going to run out 15 yards. You got it. Coming right up. Barely touched that ball. Oh, it’s not going to make us putt. What kind of button are you pushing to adjust the direction here? Sim caddy club keyboard button box. Pretty sweet little piece of kit. There you go. Camera’s right in the way of the light. My favorite type of shot. Uh 378. Let’s try this uh 3wood here. It’ll go further than the driver. I’ll tell you that. Also, welcome to the channel. I don’t think I’ve seen you. See, that’s what I’m talking about. Can’t hit 3-wood forever, though. You eventually got to learn to hit driver. Uh yeah, no sweat. If you have any other questions, let me know. Um, just playing a not great round of golf here on GS Pro. Uhoh. Must have left the club face open. Let’s see if we’re OB again. No. Oh, wow. All right. I felt like I was playing uh on my unicorn there for a second. Everything’s out of bounds. That actually reminds me I think I was I was talking earlier about the uh the native software, the native courses that are in uh the Square Golf Launch Monitor repertoire. I think I think that’s what I was playing. But a lot if you’re if you’re not very if you’re you know not too far off the fairway, it’s actually OB on a lot of those courses. So mind your P’s and Q’s if you’re playing that software. This is a basically an impossible shot. It’s either going to roll 15 ft past the hole or stop in the edge of the rough. There’s really uh you got two choices. Launch monitor did not like that little chip. Let’s try it again. Make sure we’re green. We’re not green. We are green now. See, look at that go. That’s crazy. That’s going to be at least two putts. It’s still going, you guys. This is the point in the round when it’s like double bogey, double bogey, double bogey, double bogey, and you’re like tickling 20 over. I kind of stopped caring. Like I don’t even really want to finish the round, but I will for you guys. Yep. There we go. We got to make sure the square has registered the ball prior to hitting it. It’s uh it can be a little finicky. That ball going to roll back to our feet. I think it’s going to make us putt again. Guys, this is just getting to be like kind of comical at this point, but I don’t I never will quit out of a round. Okay, there’s another trip, I think. Let’s see if we can turn it around and maybe not break a hundred cuz we got what, six more holes to go. But since it doesn’t matter, and it never did, I was never going to be very far up the scoreboard anyway. Might as well stop hitting 3-wood and just hit driver. Uh, no. OB. Yep. That’s about how we’re doing. Maybe we’ll be on an adjacent fairway that I never hit shots like that ever in real life to 240. Yeah, let’s just knock this round out real quick. Hey, uh I appreciate it. I’ve uh got some money invested into it. You can see that it doesn’t make a damn lick of difference, though. All right, guys. Every shot henceforth is going to be a home run for the wall cuz it uh it honestly won’t matter anyway. Um this shot’s going to be really hard. It’s It’s leaking to the right and we got to make the ball stop, but it is not going to want to stop. So, I just got to kind of hope to get where I want to go. Okay, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Uh, the greens I believe are firm with 13 stimp. Let’s do some putting. It’s dinner time. I got to get out of this round. Okay, bogey. What are we doing now? 426. That’ll be driver, guys. I hate to rush, but um this round’s kind of blown. Too many mistakes, too many OBS. Okay, now they’re all going left, which is fine. It’d be nice if we could hit an adjacent fairway at least, though. Um, you can see this has us aim to the middle of the fairway, which we’re not going to do. That’s dumb. Uh, let’s go up here to What can we get? What kind of loft can I get? Uh, I might be able to get over with this. No, back in that Oh, closing that stance up does help. It’s just I don’t I don’t like developing bad habits in the simulator cuz it’s kind of like cutting off your nose despite your face. Next time you go out onto the course, you’re going to try to do that and then you’re going to hit like you’re going to hook the ball from hell to breakfast. You know what I’m saying? It’s almost not worth adjusting anything in the simulator because it doesn’t count anyway. It’s basically a video game. really if you’re not if you’re not able to if you’re not able to get off the tea on the tips tour, um it’s not it’s almost not even worth playing because you’re just going to be going bogey double bogey every hole and I can’t get off the tea today. Dude, can’t do anything but laugh. This is a hard sport. Okay, we got a headwind again. Usually, you don’t see them do that again. You can see that we are playing a sucker pin too, which is unfortunate. But let’s see if we can get over there and get out of this round. I’ve honestly unregistered for the tips to so many times I can’t remember at this point. It’s so hard. Okay, that’s going to be wet. Uh, we got under it. Oh no, it was so under it that it didn’t even go far enough. That’s a a Christmas miracle. Okay, let’s put this club back and select a different one. You know what? I will take those small little victories where I can get them. What do we got to hit here? Okay, what do we got? What do we got? What do we got? 575. That’s certainly going to be the old driver. I’m gonna put my foot I’m going to put my foot back pretty far here. This one’s for for golf’s sake for all of the amazing um advice he’s given me over the last 6 months or so. There we go. About a foot back here. Yeah, there you go. See what you got to do to get rid of your slice in the simulator is pretty absurd. I struggle getting off the tea with driver consistently on any length course. Three or seven wood or fairway finders, eight out of 10. Yeah, I can’t disagree with you. And if you’re playing the proper TE’s, um that’s actually that actually ends up being more fun in my opinion. I think the guy uh there’s a guy on YouTube that I watch, his name’s like Jim Ventos or something. He’s got an extremely closed stance. Like I know you can’t see my feet, but he’s standing like Oh, you can see my feet in the other camera. He’s standing like almost 90 degrees close to the ball. Like, no kidding. But he’s a really good golfer. Or he’s just really good at editing video. One or the other. I sure Yeah, I’ve had some good rounds with driver in the bag, too. It’s just It works fine on the golf course. That was weird. What kind of lie were we in? Yeah, that’s true. It’s just kind of lame because I don’t have any anywhere near as much trouble in on the real course. Okay. Okay, you got to make sure you’re in the square’s tiny little hitting area. Come on, baby. I got to go eat some dinner. Look at that thing go. Look at her go. Now we’ve got a what? A 20. That thing went 26 feet past the pin, huh? Let’s get up. And it went uphill. Okay, that’s Let’s make sure we’re in the squar’s little hitting area here. Is that good enough? Is that good enough? Is that good enough? Okay, the square is doing the There we go. Thought it wasn’t going to find my ball. Okay, I barely touched that. Let’s see here. It’s still going. Let’s get it up to the cup. Oh, you did get that idea from Jim. Yeah, one of my buddies turned me on to him. And I was like, man, that is that is the strangest stance I’ve ever seen, but it works. And he plays he plays what looks to be pretty good golf. Okay. Oh boy, we’re going to have tree trouble like there is no tomorrow here. Uhoh. What do we got? 130. Let’s see if I can jack something high enough to get over these trees. Oh, I fatted it. Damn it. I thought you were never supposed to do that with equal length CL clubs. What happened? I want my money back. No, I haven’t done that much this round. That that ball literally rolled. led over the hole. I don’t even know if we’re going to break a hundred. I usually don’t post these videos when they’re this bad, but I have no choice when I’m live streaming. Okay, so I think 18 is a par. So 27. Let’s actually check the scorecard. It’s a par 72. So, I need to I need to double bogey or better on this or I’m going to break a 100, which I haven’t done in a long time. Let’s see if we can rip something off the drive here. and then see if I’m still married when I get in the house because it’s been dinner time for quite some time. Yeah, that is true. It’s pretty unconventional, but it’s the only thing I’ve ever done that actually worked. Like you can strengthen your grip up to where your your club’s super closed. You can do all kinds of stupid crap, but that doesn’t actually keep you from coming over the top. This is actually Well, no, that’s a good little fade. It started out left, but I don’t really have to do that on the golf course. It’s It’s definitely helping out here in the simulator. I’m not going to dismiss that. Let’s hit the 3-wood. Try to get out of this hole alive. We’ve had so many OB shots, so many bad shots. And then you’ll hit something like that and wonder how you’re not on the PGA Tour. You know, 241 out of a 3wood off the deck. Well, I guess we do have a tailwind. Let’s try to get out of this round here. Bounce up there. Bounce up there. Okay, it’s a par five, so I think we can get out of here. Under a 100. Oh boy, we’re close. We’re We’re not close enough though for a gimme. Oh, we were close enough for a gimme. Okay, guys. Absolutely wretched little round of golf. 20 25 overpar. That’s not even a real round of golf, honestly. Statistics. Uh, we had a lot of OB shots. One green in regulation, five fairways in regulation. Uh, just a really bad round. Um, pretty atypical for me. I usually don’t shoot that high, even in the simulator. Let’s get back out to the GS Pro splash screen. Let’s start shutting down the simulator here. Shut down the square. Shut down the button box. Do we got any final uh awesome shits, mate? I’m just kidding. I know you meant shots. Shots. Yeah, they were okay. Okay, guys. I appreciate you tuning in. I’m going to shut down the simulator and get me some dinner. And I think I think I’m going to take these single length these Elchipo single length clubs out on the course tomorrow. I never thought I’d do it. They’re not bad, especially after I regripped them. They’re not bad at all. So, I’ll see how they are on the course and it it might be fun. It might be absolutely horrible. I don’t know. Kind of lurked in the back at the end of the round, but was mad fun to watch. Hey, I’m glad to hear that. Um, I know every golfer says the same crap. I honest to God don’t play that bad even on the real golf course. So, you’ll have to uh excuse the poor golfing. Um, it was the tips tour, so I think we were playing like 7200 yard TE’s. But I appreciate you tuning in. I appreciate the uh I appreciate the words of wisdom from for golf’s sake and others. and um the words of encouragement from everybody else. But we’ll see you guys in the next video. I got to see if I’m still married and eat some dinner. You guys know how it is. We’ll see you later.
