[Music] Go time. We’re doing Sunday singles. Rigs verse myself. I know a lot of people waiting to see it and I think uh we get this thing going. Good luck team. Play well. Well, play well. This is psychotic that we’re doing this right now, guys. Like, I actually don’t even know how to like wrap my head around what we’re about to do. I’m crazy excited. We’re at Beth Page Rider Cup. This means the world to you. It means the world to me. I learned how to play golf here at Beth Page. I got married right behind us, 100 yards behind us here at the Heritage Club at Beth Page. Yeah. For me, it’s golf holy land. So, the fact that we’re out here, Ryder Cup, maybe the biggest golf event in the history of the world. Come on. [Music] Unbelievable. Go in. Go in. Oh, [Music] wow. How sick is that rig? What am I doing? That’s unbelievable. Great. All right, we have a very special video for you this week. Special for me, special for rigs. Uh we’re at Beth Page Rider Cup week. This is uh I’m actually almost getting choked up talking about the fact that we’re out here. Um this means the world to you. It means the world to me. I learned how to play golf here at Beth Page. I got married right behind us, 100 yards behind us here at the Heritage Club at Beth Page. Uh yeah, like I said, learned how to fall in love with the game here and actually learn to play it. Came out here with my dad. You have five golf courses here. The black was always such a unbelievable treat and just experience and it’s just for me it’s golf holy land. So the fact that we’re out here rider cup maybe the biggest golf event in the history of the world. I think it’s going to be the biggest spectacle golf’s ever seen. And for me I mean being from Missouri I just remember kind of seeing Beth Paige it was like this unobtainable beast 02 09 with the US Opens. And so for us to be here Ryder Cup is as set up as it could possibly be and it’s just go time right now. Go time. We’re doing Sunday singles, Rigs verse myself. I don’t think we’ve ever played a true one-on-one match on the either. Always just doing two man teams or whatever it might be. So, this is a big one. I know a lot of people waiting to see it and I think uh we get this thing going. Let’s do it. All right. You decisive. All right. All right. Let’s go. Best of luck. Good luck to you. Play well. Best of luck. Play well. [Music] God, what a golf course, man. This is such an awesome golf course. I could have hit that a good strike to be honest. Good strike though. No, that was, you know, we can work with that today. My legs are shaking. Yeah. Come on, man. Is there anything better than this place? God, that’s so much fun. Great ball. I love this place, man. You go out here and I don’t even know what it is this year. I know they raised it just like a couple dollars each year, but you like 70 bucks just to go out and play a Ryder Cup golf course as a New York State resident, dude. So, I remember like when I when I moved here, we came out here for the first time to play. And I remember hearing that, but thinking that was like always this watered down truth and that okay. Yeah. Yeah. Like if you play in January on Monday at after the sun goes down, it’s like 70 bucks. But really, it’s like 250. It was legit $70. I know to come out here and play cuz I had a New York ID. It was unbelievable. You come out here and you’ll legit see it’ll take you six hours to play the round sometimes during the summer and you’ll see guys in jeans and like t-shirts. They’ll have like a motorized little like push cart and they’ll be in legitimate jeans, golf shorts, and like an old school polo or even like a legit work t-shirt playing a US Open PGA Championship and Ryder Cup venue. It’s incred It’s incredible. It’s also like they’re not it’s not like this is some old old like outdated sort of venue that had some championships. It’s hosting the biggest tournament that golf’s ever seen. No, it’s nuts. And just had a PGA here. Five years ago. Six years ago. Dude, I don’t have a rangefinder. I get relief from the stand. You get a relief. Okay, I got to think. Nearest point of visual relief. I don’t really know exactly how this works, but God, I can’t believe I didn’t put it on my bag. That’s got to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever done. Be like here. Okay, first iron shot. I’m going to have six iron. Just a solid 217 yards out here in the first hole. Sevenwood from the fescue. You like that play early? Wow. Seems a little bold. I cannot believe we’re playing this place. I think we have to. Very nervous. It is so set up for a Ryder Cup right now. I don’t love it. I don’t love it. I think I got to be smarter. I think I got to be smarter. I’m going to hit a seven iron. RXY, what’d you have from there? Like 218. I forgot my [ __ ] rangefinder in the car. Horrible walking. Don’t have a rangefinder. Just sit before that bunker. Sit right there. All right, that’s fine. Yeah, I’ll take that. God, that’s a long haul. It’s probably playing 210, 215. Whoa. Whoa. What a shot. Okay. Better. Wow. Better. Thank god. Got a par putt at that page. That was a little nervy because if that one goes sideways, we’re done. When the round’s over, go get up the hill. Okay. Okay. Be honest, that’s a big moment for me to just like not blade that one across the green. Just getting one up in the air and onto the green. Dude, depending on the wind, I think those guys might try to like drive it up here. Yeah, we were playing that into it. Yeah, very into. All right, a couple par putts on the first hole at B Page. I’ll take that. That was an incredible shot. That’s second one. Yeah, that was as good as I could hit one. I was pretty nervous over it. Good try. It’s good. Nice. Oh boy. Really? Yeah. It’s just what it takes, you know. You got to make these if you want to be in a golf match. Great putt. Really good half, dude. A couple bogeies at the at the black. That’s not the worst. That’s not the worst. No. All the nerves, too. I mean, people have no idea how hard my heart is pounding right now. I get nervous when I’m just playing by myself and you’re just playing with Jimmy and Rob from Beth Page. You know what I mean? Something about the black just gets you going, man. [Music] This is like I used to write my name on these walls and then they paint over it every year. See how people write their their names on stuff? This is whatever. But yeah, I always think it was the coolest thing ever. That’s awesome. God, we should have we should have written our name on it now. I got a Sharpie. Yeah. and all. Then it’s like Frankie Belli in we could ride Sam and like the Rder Cup players will be walking through that right there. I know underneath and that road is open to the public. We drive through there like twice a week. So I’ve been seeing just this setup of 17 and 15 for months. Oh [ __ ] We’re all I mean this is going to be a hard round of golf, dude. Damn it. Hooking the ball. [ __ ] That don’t look good. No. Oh, left and right. Not Carter’s there. Oh, sat soft. Okay, I see it still. The RDER Cup is going to be playing from 7,500 yards. We obviously did on the first TE, but they asked us to move one up. Okay, not great, you know, but kind of what we deserve. We got a uh we got a chip out. I think is like the one shot that we have. Where’d it go? What an out. They liked it. It sounded excited. I just can’t get this up. So, I’m going to go under right there. Get out. Yeah. That’s all I needed. Yeah. Fine. All right. 160 uphill into the wind. 175 maybe 180 shot. This looks really good. Right number. I don’t know. It might be the right number. It looked okay. 119. Playing 130. Then with the wind playing 135, 140. It’s a late nine iron. Hold on. Cuted it too much. Cut it too much, you idiot. Yeah. What a battle in the black early. Yeah. No, this is a battle. Oh man. The one thing about these first two holes is you obviously have to hit per the whole golf course. You have to take great drives. Yeah. And I don’t think I’ve been that’s probably been my weakest club, which has been insane recently. And then you’ve had your history with the the flat the big stick. Probably not what I’m known for. Well, actually might be known for driving. Just like the wrong wrong way. Also, it’s just one of those things where the wind is up. It’s playing really long and like you like this hole doesn’t even call for a driver. You should just hit like 3wood, fivewood, and you still have 140 up the hill into the wind even if you pierce a perfect one. So then you’re like, I’m going to take driver. Yeah. Perfect drive. Like, okay. And you don’t even come close. We’re just up against it early. Not an easy walk either. Already gassed. It is a privilege. Great shot. Come on. Stay alive here. You know, stay alive. Wow. God, these greens are so pure right now. Yeah, they’re unbelievably perfect. Feel horrible even walking on them. Great putt. What an up and down. Thank you. Five are scrappy. Really scrappy. God, that there’s no way I killed that. Wow. Wow. That’s good. What a freaking five out of the [ __ ] This is a scrappy one, man. I’ve been doing this scrappy match play thing a lot this year. Yeah, it is like a perfect look that we get at how they’re going to set it up for the RDER Cup because they’ve literally put the TE’s out for the European team. Exactly. Stayed right there, I think. Yeah. chunked it be right with you literally. So far we are just chasing each other. More nerve-wracking than I thought playing right before the Rder Cup. You just don’t want to mess it up. No. This is a disaster of a mud ball. Dude, you’ve got so much on there. Oh my god. Idiot. He’s so much higher and harder off impact. I said idiot. Slow down. Get down. Wow. Frank. Oh boy. God, that’s freaking fast. He’s excited. It’s good. Knock it in, Frankie. Whoa. Good oldfashioned four putt from off the green. Mud ball. Blame it on the mud ball. Take that. Two down. Two down through three. Quick. Next one. Straight into the teeth of it. Maybe the best par five in the world. Look at how sick. One of them. Best inland par five. No grand stands. It’s all going to be standing. Yeah. [Music] Oh, it has not been pretty. Nobody’s really done anything yet. No. Double boging every hole is good then. That’s what I’m doing. All right. Come on. Part five here, gang. Yeah, it came down. Yeah. Safe. Safe, which is really all you want, right? A little over correct. Probably not going to hit a ton of fairways today. short. Yeah, just short of the bunk. That should be fine. Yeah. Here we go. Look at this golf hole. There’s nothing unbelievable. Not another golf hole like this in the world. No. Like I’ve never seen a hole that looks like this. Perfectly built like into the terrain that they had. Yep. Instead of just building like a stupid sloped fairway, they went two-tiered. Yeah. Insane bunkers in the middle. Like it was like legitimately like this is how nature wanted it. Yep. It does look like they just turned that corner, saw this hole, and were like, “Yep, that’s it.” Awesome. So funny, too. I mean, these holes, not so much cuz they’re back here, but a lot of local people like my cousins that live in Farmingdale, which is where this course is, they like know Beth Page as like the place they go like sledding down and like tubing. Like they would use the first tea as like their sledding hill. Yeah. So, now there’s going to be a rider cup there. Just 10,000 people on that tea screaming. You know, millions of people have probably started their rounds just like we just started our round. Oh, just Yeah. scrapping it around. Just kick kick kick. Sucks because like you you want to start off with like real good tempo and good swings and then like you hit one errant shot and then it’s like it just starts to go. Yeah. You start to spiral and run out, run down the hill. But you got to be able to reset. A lot of golf. Especially here. Ton of golf left. So much golf hole left. Every single hole. Too much. Like if we’re in bad shape going into the 15th hole, that’s not good. No. Oh, this could be a Tre Ryan situation where I like shoot 144 a day. Man, how am I not up to? Like he’s like kicking the He’s like I’m just not hitting it great. My putting is atrocious. Nice and smooth. It’ll knock out of here. Come on. Get up. Get up. Get up. Come on. You hit a good one up there. That a boy, Frank. Well, I just need to get it up. Do you have like a visual point? You want me to tell you if that tree Let’s see. I’ll tell you if the tree is behind the green, the tallest one. The pin is in between the um the stand and the tallest tree. Okay. Wow. Get up. I think it’s all right. Okay. Thanks. It’s hard to convey on video, but these first like six of the first seven, I guess, are going to be straight into the wind that we’re playing. And that’s just like very uncomfortable when you’re nervous. And then I think we’re going to get a little reprieve for a while going downwind at some point. So, got to kind of grind through these. Rick, do you mind giving me a yardage here? I got to download this app. I don’t have my [ __ ] yardages. I could just [ __ ] with them all day and give them a ride. Yeah. 210 98. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, baby. Got to go. Go. Okay. Shot. Thanks. That stay on. Let’s hit nicely. Yeah, I’ll take that. Reloing up and down for five. That’s kind of my plan, Frank. Crazy, but we’ll see. Super demoralizing to play against when you’re making up and downs like that. It’s like the person you’re playing against like gets so down on themselves with all the opportunity they had to win and you’re just like shutting the door before I even putt. So, it’s like now like doubt creep. It’s like Yeah. I could have just two putt it or like I could have, you know what I mean? Yeah. No, I do. I I want people to know that I don’t try to play that way. It’s crazy. Like that up and down on twos. nuts. Yeah, making a five from there is very like pretty much out of the hole it feels like off the tea and then make a five. But again, I want people to know that I would rather do it the other way where you hit it onto fairway and then onto the green. It’s really good, man. Thanks, So like are you allowed to like like what do you you can’t like if I want to approach this putt I can’t put my club behind it right cuz that would be that would be improved you can you can dude cuz I see those guys like whenever they chip out of the rough they like get real nestled down there you know what I’m saying well I don’t think you can like that’s a good point I you can’t like matt it down so you have a clear lane but if you were like settling like I can’t do this though no I don’t I think so. I think you’re right. Okay. So, I got to come down on it. I think that’s right. Psychotic. Wow. Pretty good from that. Go rolling out. It’s just impossible to tell like how that’s going to come out. Possible. Those guys on tour mess that up all the time. They just don’t Well, I could have easily just crushed it over the green, which I’m stunned I didn’t do. That’s good. Look at this [ __ ] thing. Wow. This is huge. This for our first par. Last two holes. Last time I had a huge mud thing and now I got just grass growing out of my That’s how my day has been going. I got grass growing out of my freaking putter now. Like New York City and I am legend. Yeah. Just Damn it. It’s good. I keep thinking that because these are so slick, they’re going to move more, but they just don’t. I just had that talk with myself. These greens just don’t have a ton of break in them. They don’t. But they’re faster than I’ve ever seen them. So, they are slick. This hole is phenomenal. Really good. Okay, I got away with one there. Damn par out here. This probably ain’t going to be our hole to do it. No. Nice strike. Taking that all day long. Perfect. Take that one. Yeah. Okay. It’s going to be same club in over the tree, but we’re in play. Yeah. Take that. Sit. Sit. Set, set, set. Punch out. Can’t be on the left side. Man, this is a really hard course. You could end the cut the statement there, but really hard course to make up and downs on and like miss the fairway and [ __ ] So, we got to start giving ourselves better second shots cuz like I can’t play this whole entire day punching out. 193 into the breeze uphill. It’s got to be playing at least 205. Might be that seven. What it get? Quit on it, boys. Quit on it. needs to get down. Yikes. Ew. I don’t really know how to hit that shot. Got no like base with it. Rough is thick. Amazing. Thank you. You got to swing way harder than you think you have to swing. It’s really what it comes down to. Very like just totally It’s unbelievable. Thank you. Great putt. Good. Good. Yeah, it’s a great chip, man. Thanks. Yeah. Hell of an up and down. Thanks. Five straight bogeies. Look at that. Yeah. They have the really high mounds on top of the green, so it makes you think like it’s coming off, but if you really look at it from up here, I guess the whole green goes that way. I’ve always found really hard to read the greens here because there’s not a ton of obvious break. I know. It’s really really hard. It’s like impossible. Then you go right at the hole, which is like fine. You’ll end up two putting if you have the speed down. But yeah, like you want to make some putts, but you don’t make them. Yeah. They just dribble off one way or the other. Yep. Every time This is a great hole and you really want a good drive here. No better feeling. This is a fun one to tee off on. Not going to kill it. No. A It’s going right in that bunker. Sit. Sit. Oh, it’s going to be on the edge. On the edge. Got to get back to my confident self. Like I would want to just rip a draw over that tree just with [ __ ] crazy club head speed. It’s like so inviting. Just like not going for it. I’m like [ __ ] babying it. Can’t baby Beth Black, man. With the shots. It’s like you get to that point mentally 90% of the way and then right when it’s trigger time, impossible. Get a little tentative. Y and then when you’re sitting there, you know, the next day and you’re thinking about when that video’s coming out, you’re like, why didn’t I just swing as hard as I could? Like it already was horrible. Exactly. So, who cares? I guess cuz like hindsight’s obviously 2020 and like when you’re standing on this tea, it’s like, you know, the damage would be way worse if you swung as hard as you could. Yeah. Right. At least we’re like playing the hole now. Yeah. Even though it wasn’t pretty. Yeah. And you have to just [ __ ] [ __ ] up here. As much as I don’t want to root against him, I lost it. Good. Oh, so [ __ ] close. What a shot. That was like a yard from being on the green, I think. But it’s it’s up there. Well, dude, it hit the front lip and went into the bunker. Oh, but like that sevenwood there’s a weapon. Really close to being perfect, dude. The sevenwood is a magic club. See if the seven iron is magic. Go if I got it all. Ah, line too. Like a yard short. Yeah, dude. When you drive one down this hill and you got like a 100 yards in, it’s or even just hitting one right here with this nice little T- box feeling. Yeah. It’s like you’re on a nice perch par three. Yep. Perfect little green. I love this gold, man. bite bite out. Pull out for him. Yeah. Pretty damn good from there. Thanks. This place is so pure right now. I know that’s obvious. They’ve got it set up. They can make a lot of birdies. Yeah. You know, the greens are so good. I was saying like in theory I don’t know that you can have a more pure golf course. Like all the money, all the resources completely closed down. Nobody’s played on it. The weather’s been great. I know. It’s like literally it’s perfect. Technically like we’re making it less perfect than we have. It’s good. Thanks. I want to announce I am not playing any break. Okay. So, wherever I miss it is where I miss it. Wherever I make it is where I make it. Yep. At a boy. All right. It did break a slight bit to the right. We have a par. We have a par. I feel better. I finally made the score on a hole you’re supposed to. It’s what when they made this golf course, they’re like, “Yeah, it’ll take four to for on this hole.” That would be a good score. Four would be a level score on this hole. Yet to do it. Feels good. Oh, no. You didn’t just do that, Frank. No. All right, deep breath. That is perfect. Right. Go. I think that’s got it from this team. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Really good. Thanks. Well, cut. Wow. You just don’t want to be here on this hole. I got something. Golf, Dad. Let’s go. Partial sports cut. I mean, it’s not amazing, but I think it’s hitting. Yeah, I got a ball. Yeah. Got to figure this out now. Somehow someway. Got to grind. Come on. Just pop out. Get in the bunker. I think I got in there. All right. I think that’s a win. Thanks. Three there. Guys like us that are like right on the edge of like if we can play decent here or not do not need the first eight holes to be straight into the wind. It’s going to have to be kind of cool if it works out the way I want to. It’s fine. You had to keep it under. Hey, I’ll take it now. Oh, it snapped on me. Took a big bounce. What a bounce. Big boy bounce. Way right. Wow. Not an easy lie, man. This has just not been easy today. What a what a scoreboard. shot. We’ll take that out of that [ __ ] Pretty damn good. Thought I had a chance. That’s bad. You’re good. Race. Okay. Thank you. What a grind. I’m going to bug you every hole. Every single one. [Music] God. Oh boy. Not in the water. Not in the water is right. Be a fun chip. That would have used hit the tree and went into the water. Thank god it didn’t. down. Just spin. What a shot. Really nice. Come on. Ow. Did you go seven or six? I went six. Yeah, me too. Oh, baby Frankie. Come on. That’s what we needed. Now, full transparency. If that tree was still there, may I hit the tree when it’s coming in? That thing used to hang over half the green. Yeah. You had to hit it over it. Like over it. it would legitimately cover to where that tower is of the green and really high and it was right there on the corner right where your ball is. So like anything that had a cut from that angle spin hard. Jesus. Not that hard. It’s pretty [ __ ] good. It’s going to make that. I’ll take that. You know that, right? Dude, I like this one’s going to hurt. I was telling you, I was like, I could get a club on the back of this thing and then it came out unbelievable. That was insane. This one would would hurt. Oh, it’s good. Good par. Nice, dude. The pit the holes are so pure. I know. Can you get a Well, they have to put It’s okay. It’s like they’ve never seen a ball go in them. These are brand new holes. They’re cut. The edges are cut amazing. The bottom of them are pure gray. These are those ones that rigs just makes. And the internet doesn’t give him the respect on these. I know this is going in. This is why he’s hard to play a good match against. It’s unbelievable. It’s unbelievable. What a man. What a three. USA. Wow, that’s [ __ ] nuts, dude. Yes, sir. That’s big, man. From nowhere. Wow. I told you. I could hear you whispering over there. It says going in. Just an incredible up and down. That spot’s insane. Oh yeah, it was one of those eyes like it was in between stuff, but the back of the ball was perfectly almost like above the ground below it. So you could just go after it. So I was like, if I just hit it like I think it’s normal. Yeah. I saw bounce. I think it’s just I think it’s just in that rough, right? You throw me a ball over there just in case. I think it’s fine. I saw it bouncing a bunch. You saw it the whole time. Got it. 232. I can’t hit this. Stay out. Kick left. I think it just stayed in the normal rock. Thought that was going to draw. Got to hit a good shot here. 81. Got to get it up. Just got to trust this 60°. Should be full. I chunked it. Go. Go. Looks pretty good. Wow. Can’t believe that got up. Can’t believe that got up. I think that was really good. Yeah. I thought I chunked it. Oh my god. Really good. Keep acting like he’s not giving me gifts, but it’s like every T- shot I should have an advantage. I’m not. I’m not doing it. Then around the greens, he’s crushing me. It’s a great shot. Scared the hole. I couldn’t see from down there, but I was like, I think that might be pretty good. God, you got to [ __ ] hit it, Frank. That’s unbelievable rigs. Thanks. What a [ __ ] up and down. Oh, baby. Zero greens in regulation on that nine. That’s insane. Three down. Didn’t hit a green. Nope. Didn’t hit one. Can’t blame anyone but myself. He’s also just making pars. I’m not doing anything bad. Having a bad day. [Music] Didn’t go very far. It’s fine. I think it’s just short of it. Yeah. Keep coming. Yeah. [ __ ] I think that was great. Yeah. Frustrating. That was like an anger swing. I went so far further back than I usually do. People are probably so relieved to see me actually take a back swing. Whatever that swing was, do that. I know that was roast. Get angry at it. Go hunkering five iron. Think there’s wind at the back. Sit. Went right at the stick. Went over the green. Shot. I go over the green. Right. Come on now. [ __ ] figure it out. Thank you. What a shot. What’d you hit there? Five iron. Crispy right over it. Yeah. If people are wondering back home, if they’ve been able to see, I live in the desert, you know, play a lot of desert golf. I was looking for my ball in the cactuses the other day. And that’s how we got that. I mean, I think Scotty Shuffler would take those two shots. Can’t believe it’s downwind. It’s never downwind. No. This thing landed right over the stick from where we were. I don’t know how it didn’t hit the flag. Oh, what a par. That’s good. Thanks. Thanks. All right, Frankie. Good hole. [ __ ] a. He’s got some fight in him. The local got to go down swinging. Local boy’s got some fight. That was a well played hole. That hole is [ __ ] This is where I found out that Derek Jeter hit his 30,000th hit and I lied about it for like 12 years. I had been tracking Jeter hitting like DJ 3K was the biggest thing in my life and he was playing the Tampa Bay Rays. I’m like he’s not going to get it today. David Price, I’m going to go play the black. So I came out as a so as a single and at that time we were getting like ESPN notifications even early then I feel like so or someone texted me and my dad he’s like you watching this and all my buddies like DJ and I just I just wrote I can’t believe this. This is amazing. I didn’t say I was golfing and I acted like I watched it. The only time I admitted that I never saw live was on the podcast like 10 years later just Yeah, it was this hole. I was right here. I can remember it and I got real hot. I’m like I just missed it and they’re saying it was a home run and I wrote like, “Can you believe what you just saw to people?” Wow, that was amazing. I think at one point I wrote like, “That’s the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.” I may have even like put it out on Facebook or something. I was ripped like it’s bunkers there. I think there’s just bunkers over there doing like the mincy like He is dumb. Did I hit that bunker? He does. He holds his tits. Nice swing, rigs. Thanks. I think that’s good. I never remember what the line is. I think it’s perfect cuz you can’t really You can’t cover the left bunkers. I didn’t think so either. No. No. It’s probably right in the smack dab in the middle. Could I hit a green? We’ll see. I’m a little pissed at how I’m like just swinging a little bit better and more aggressive now. You can probably tell visually I’m not playing so defensive. I’m [ __ ] ripping these now and I’m swinging just way more confidently and it’s actually starting to like frustrate me that I played so defensive in the first couple holes. It’s frustrating. All right, this is going to be a sixiron 160 out of a bunker. typically would be like a seven iron, eight iron out of the uh fairway. We’re just going to try and nut this thing all ball. Come on. Be the right number. Be the right number. Let’s go. Come on now. Let’s [ __ ] play some golf. What a swing from the bunky. Went a bunch of [ __ ] holes now. Let’s go. He’s heating up. Let’s go. Come on, turn it on. I mean, all things considered, probably the best sixiron out of a bunker in my life. You can see a lot of golf right here. This is a great spot. If you are in the top seat behind 11 green, you can see nine green. 10 T. You can see 11 green. You can see 12T. That’s the best seat in the house right there. Wow. Really? This is going to be really fast. 50% Frank. Come on. How’ this not come down? I mean, look at this. Good. Nice chip. Pretty well done. Thanks. Nice putt. Yeah, good bar. Thank you. Got a boy. Thank you. Thank you. All right. All right. One down. [Music] just playing angry right now. You ever see that? Got my swagger back. You want to talk about just like turning the switch on and like stop. I was I was so mopy before and I was getting so down on myself and I think for me right now it’s like just playing aggressive. Swing really hard and wherever it goes it goes. Stop trying to hit cuts and baby shots and go for the green. I mean my drives in the last three holes have been exactly what I need. That’s who I need to be. I need to go out and just [ __ ] go get it. You’re down three at your own [ __ ] course. Come on. Yeah. Really good. You’re in the driver’s seat, Frank. Sixiron winds at the back. Just want it, dude. Come on, Frank. Just want it, dude. Just want it, man. We’re hitting it on a string now. Now we’re hitting it on a string, boys. Come on. uphill. Maybe a little left to right, right to left. We’re hitting six irons, 190 now. Looks pretty good. Oh. All right. Come on, dude. Two putts. Let’s go. Get it in a circle. Let’s tie this thing. Wow. Okay. Not bad. Nasty little. That’s the first one that like really is nasty. This is a gnarly pin. I mean, I definitely didn’t hit it enough. I just didn’t foresee that. Good. Thanks. Tie her up. Three in a row. No way, dude. Why are you pushing that? Oh my god, what a gift. Oh my god, Frank. Hanging on. Just clinging for dear life. Oh, no. No, no. It slipped in my hand. Oh, no. It literally turned over. It’s gone. Didn’t look good in there. No. I don’t know if that’s like It’s gone. Anything doable or not? Just [ __ ] blew it. Nice piece. Double cross. That’s gone, too. Double cross. Come on. That’s like in that grand stand. I let that miss putt [ __ ] get in my head. I think our best bet’s your first one. Might get lucky over there with that second one cuz it kind of went right over that tree, the tallest part. Oh, there’s one right here. That’sing me. That’s it. Yep. Oh, boy. He’s got it. Wow. We’re alive. What do you do with these? You just swing and hope it gets through. I mean, it’s almost all you got. This also could ricochet on anything. Yeah, it’s a good point. On it out. Go, go. Yeah. Fantastic. He’s back. I don’t even I mean I basically closed my eyes. He’s back. That’s me there. Yeah. Unbelievable. That’s a huge victory. Just leave that golf and and the Barcel over there. Maybe someone will find it during the Ryder Cup. Be funny if somebody sees the video and then they’re like, I know where those two balls are. I’m going to go find those. All right, we’re somewhat like alive again. Sitting two here. He’s sitting one there obviously, but you got to make up a shot somewhere. That one’s way right. Oh, kicked. Oh, down. Wow. We’re back. Right at that tree. Let it draw in. I lost it. Bad. Where’d it go? I think it stayed in the edge there. There you are. To your right. Hell yeah. Trees. Go. That was not a good lie. Oh, there’s one right here. Here I am. That’s [ __ ] unbelievable. Oh, boy. Walked right into it. Hell yeah. Wow. Not making this hole easy. Got to get out. All right. So, I’m sitting what? Four. He’s sitting three. So, after this shot, we’ll be even. Crazy. Could have won this hole. I’m just pulling everything. Oh my god. Bunker. This is [ __ ] crazy, man. Go in. Go in. Oh, wow. What a shot. Hit the pin. The hell’s that in for? Um, one, two, three, four, five, six. That’s phenomenal. Believe that. That hit the bottom of the stick. What a shot. Thank you. Chipping for five. I got to get up and down. That could This could be the ultimate Mongolian reversal. [ __ ] I got to avoid the Mongolian. I mean, the video just got real serious. I’m down one. Nope. It’s right on. I got to see that. Why? You’re never out of it in match play. Never out of a hole. Big putt. There’s no two ways about it. just feels like this is a this could like really snatch some momentum and and make me feel great or just would be about as bad of a loss as you can have on a hole. Wow, it’s good. All square. Unbelievable. This is insane. My first double of the day is from my best drive of the day. What a game. Wow. What a turnaround, Frankie. Holy smokes. Wow. I mean, finding those two balls were outrageously lucky. That first drive is nuts. [Music] [Music] All right. Come on. Frankie’s got to be hitting a seven iron here. Okay. Shot that on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Came down. All right. You know, rigs, I had an eight in my hand. You said seven. I’m like maybe he’s trying to get in my head and a seven would have went in the hole. Well, this looks like a hell of a two putt here. Uh-oh. It’s like fanned it. Come on now, baby. That’s good. Thanks. In or out rigs. You can take it out. Right. What a pie. Thanks. All right. Here we go into the Thunderdome. Coming across the road at Beth Bait has always meant something. In a RDER Cup, I can’t even imagine what the roars are going to be like. [Music] Wow. This is [ __ ] This is unbelievable. Look at this. This is going to be rocking. That’s just build out up the side of 15 and the people are going to be standing here. Just so we know the rules of like Rider Cup golf. If we just blast one into these grand stands. Oh yeah. Free relief. Free relief. That’s unbelievable. That’s what I’m doing. I don’t know if I’ll ever swing harder than this shot right now. We got like bumpers. I’ll somehow miss him. Trying to hit him and miss him. The biggest grandstand build out in history. I hit it. I actually hit the grandstand. Dude, this is going to be off the top of it. Oh, it’s on the left side of it. Like it hit it hit it and kicked. Did it hit the top of the tent of it? Yes. And then shot left forward. So now I’ll have to move that left until it’s not in my way anymore. I think so. I was nervous on this too. There’s no doubt about it. This is the hardest hole in America. They call this heart attack hill. Yeah. Rigs. It’s in the thickest rough in the Northeast, but it’s good. Give me a lie, please. I’m pretty happy with that. Really good swing. I am thrilled. All right, we just got to make a five here. That’s it. Yeah, I’m pretty sure you could just drop as long as you have a clear path. Oh, no, dude. It literally hit the top of this and kicked left. So, it must be somewhere right here. I think that’s it, right? 240 yards out. I have no idea where my line is, but just going to swing and pray. I’m assuming it’s just over this tree. Hey, that furthest tree hanging up like over the red flag from where I am. Is that is like that is the green behind there? So, it’s got to go over that tree. Okay, I got 180 playing uphill. I mean, I think it’s like a [ __ ] four iron for me. It’s going to rip a seven iron over this freaking tent. I don’t know where Belli’s at. That just missed the tent. Was that up there by like the bunkers? Yeah, nice shot. Just in the right row. That just missed the top of that tent. Hit five iron. I just don’t know that four iron. I don’t love the integrity with which I can strike a four iron out of this. Five iron. I think I can get it on the front. It’s not bad. That’s going to be a big up and down for your boy to get back in this thing. Look at him coming from there. That’s an alltime shot. Looks like they just stuck out of work to play like three holes. Wow. What a shot. Yeah. What’ you What’ you hit? Sevenwood. I had the construction worker construction workers give me a line. I mean, you couldn’t see anything. You’re like in line with that red tower, but you missed the bunker, I think. Okay. Where are you at? I’m uh maybe five yards short of the green on the UPS slope in the rough. Yeah. Yeah. That’s insane cuz I was like 180 out and I hit mine pretty good. You’re like strike echoed through this like coliseum. It went over the tent by a millimeter. This is a golf hoe. As my good buddy Clint Daddy would say from Kentucky, that’s a nice golf hoe. That’s tough golf ho say. Oh, go that landed. Anywhere else, it would have been good. Right into the hill and killed it. Can’t get my heart rate to slow down. Me neither. God damn it, Frank. It’s not an easy hill to run up. That’s just Okay, you’re going for four. For four. You’re for five there. Yeah. All right. Come on, man. Just can’t convince yourself, you know. That’s good, Rex. Thank you. Baby, one of five. He did that. He did what I usually do to people. Like that kid at that Marlins game where he’s like, “Fuck it.” [ __ ] 16 17 18 at Beth Page Black. We got a tight match. Tight match. This is awesome. Keep drawing. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. More. Right. Ah. Just missed it. Oh, thick stuff. Oh, that rough, man. Good swing. Maybe three yards away from drawing into the fairway. That was a difference between a birdie and a double. Yeah, I got make a birdie out here. But yeah, that is in the short stuff. There we go. Okay. Yep. Okay. Great swing. Thank you. But you want to see coming in the coming to the end here. This hole is so awesome. It’s our last driver swing until the 18th hole. And they’re going to be big ones. Yep. God bless. Sure are. This is insane, man. Telling you, dude. I think this is like as good of a landlocked golf course as there’s ever been. I I mean I say it all the time and I I think it’s not just because I live here and have played it a hundred times, but like you remember every single shot because every hole is perfect and it’s its own little story. Every single hole is memorable. I’m blown away by this golf course and like we do a lot of uh recency bias in our like little like rankings in your head. And so I haven’t been here in like five years, but I had always held in the back of my head that like I remember every time I ever played there, I would think that’s like a top 10 course I’ll ever play. And now being back here, I’m like, this is just the thing about the other courses is and Shinik is similar to this where like when you have water, you just remember those like iconic water holes. Yeah. So like Cyprus was unbelievable, but it’s like 14, 15, 16, 17. You’ll remember those shots for the rest of your life. But for me, it’s like the because like you said, it’s a landlocked course, so they have to make each individual hole so memorable. And they did. Yes. Like these two holes are incredible. I thought all 14 holes leading up to this are really incredible and then you stand on 15 and we were blown away. Everybody pulls out their phone. This hole is even better. Like this hole is insane. Yeah. Well, I will say I mean it’s thick but it’s not like US Open. No. The lie I had on the last on 15 was actually pretty solid. They’ll probably raise it a little bit. I don’t necessarily know that the US guys want the rough. Oh, I think it tells you a little bit about the setup that they kind of are thinking, you know, we can we’re the bombers more. So, I could see my ball a little bit right now. Yeah. All right. Good shot. Yeah, that’s fine. Yep. Really good. Yeah, that one’s fine. It’s 210 shot I had in. So, that ain’t the easiest for your boy. I tried to take a little off of seven wood and just kind of toe hold it a little and then we’re in a pretty pretty good spot there. I should be able to chip that up there. Catch a piece. I think it did. That go over the green. Wow. Good shot. Thanks. I’m actually hitting a decent amount of greens here on the back. And back’s usually my bugaboo. Back. You’ve been fantastic. To curse myself out a little bit. Nine. I was real mad to my real mean to myself. You talk a little dirty to yourself. It’s just It was pathetic. I was like, “What are you doing out here?” Mhm. You’re going to regret this for like the rest of your life. [ __ ] starts playing. You knew that was coming. Not too bad at all. Those are going to be way faster. Crazy. Breaks that way. That’s just shocking. Look at that. Wow, what a boy. What a par. Guy’s hitting the ball. Thank you, Rigs. The Belli the Belli breach at Beth Page. [Music] Look at this stadium, dude. This is unreal. Sit. Sit. Back bunker. Yeah. Little bit of a divot there. I do feel crazy bad we don’t have anything to fill divots with. All right, Frank. All it takes is one good wedge shot here and let’s just freaking finish this thing. Stay positive and stay dialed in. Let’s see what he does. Here’s a huge shot from rigs. Got this thing dormy pretty damn good. Pretty good. Really good. Wow. Good shot. Come on now. Let’s go, Frankie. Come on. Shot from there. It’s like a downs slope bunker shot. First one of the day. That was excellent. Not my Dude, I don’t know how yours hit where it hit. It was unbelievable. Landed in the thick stuff and rolled all the way out. Can’t figure out this down or up. Pretty flat. Hold down. Wow. Oh my god. God. God, I just couldn’t get the freaking speed down in my head on this one. Went that way at the end. Oh man, that was going right in the middle. Thanks, No. What am I doing? No. Does anyone know what I’m doing? Like, hit the ball, dude. It’s like two times I I I I whiffed it. I do that with my eyes closed. That People are going to think I did that like on purpose. There’s nobody that wanted to make that more than you. I know that. 100%. I know that. Wow. What a gift. What a gift. Come on. I just like don’t know what was happening. Like the whole time I thought it was like downhill. I don’t know if like just like that side of the green just kept [ __ ] with me. I’m like the whole thing like I don’t know. What a prayer. I shouldn’t even be playing this hole. That’s [Music] All right, I’m one down. Okay. Yeah, I saw a splash. That wasn’t that far off. It was close. Wow. How sick is that? God, that’s awesome. All right, that landed in the dead center of the fairway. Like the most center of the fairway I’ve ever seen. That was awesome. Oh, yeah. You got a good shot there, Jar. I’m going to need that for the rest of my life. If there was DraftKings live, I was going to put a million dollars. You hit the fairway right there. You just very like inviting one for me cuz like I’m f like if you’re in the bunker, I’m fine being in the left ones and I could just go. Yeah. I mean, I could have said that all day, but this one just felt good to me. Your pissed swings are what I was worried about. Yeah. You’re a problem with your piss. Crazy crazy setup right now. It’s nuts. You could be in that hospitality all day on 18 and you could not see a single golf shot. Yep. It’s the best finishing hole. Dead straight. Just like you got to hit it just good. Like the pins right in the middle. Everything is just right there. I love this hole. So do I. So do I, man. You like can’t get lucky on this finishing hole. An elevated green always [ __ ] with people. What was I doing? Hitting eggs on that last hole, man. God, dude. Freaking Easter Sunday out here. Sunday singles sponsored by freaking Roger the Rabbit. That was what we call the pulverizer. Just arch the back and absolutely pulverize. Almost too good. Like my next shot’s kind of like close. Oh boy. I got it. Jesus, guys. Oh man. Yeah. One down. I got to try something, I think. Oh, 100. Probably play 110. 54 degree. Full. Right at it. Even if it goes 115, it’s fine. Uh oh. It’s a lot of ball, boys. I think that’s fine. Yeah, it’s deep. Putting I wanted to take I wanted to take a nice divot just like with this whole background. I hit all ball. Good shot. Walking up the 18th green tomorrow when this thing kicks off or Friday whenever we’re posting this. Can’t believe what this scene is going to be like. Crazy to see something so common to you look so grand and like national, you know? It’s different than even when the PGA was here in the US Opens. There’s something different about it. Boy, do I want to take one of these flags. They’ll never notice. John Ram loses mind hitting into 18. No, no pin. 05 rigs. Oh my god. I thought that was in. It’s good. Knock it in, Frank. Good par. What a back nine that was. Damn. Damn. Let’s go, man. What a sick place. Nice win, Frank. Good playing. Thanks. Great playing. Wow. This place is so sick. I love this place so much. That’s Beth Paige Black. Uh, thanks for watching everybody. Shout out to the PGA of America. Shout out to the RDER Cup. What a what a match. I mean, I really wanted to give up at one point and I was just getting so bummed that this video was going to like just show how I’m just so pathetic at my own place and thought I had to dead the rights and then right just came out. You came out swinging on the back. I just Yeah, that something about that 10th T. I was like, you know what? 10 you fired a dart five iron 11 out of the bunker dart 12 you piped one over the bunker. I was just like, “All right, he bring 13. You pull the bogey out of your ass.” Yeah, that was crazy. Finding that ball was nuts. This guy’s bringing it. and download everything you need to. If you’re coming here for the Ryder Cup, download the Ryder Cup app. The PGA of America is going to have you all dialed in. And that’s about it, right, boys?

Riggs hater about to be sick when he shoot 75
Crazy how Riggs gets payed to golf
Why would the "ask" you to play one up? Come on now.
Graphics on some of the par 3/“s were off
Not proud of the brief blast of satisfaction I felt when Riggs said "I'm gonna be smart and hit a 7-iron" then duffed the fuck out of it on 1
If you don’t like Riggs swing or what he says his handicap is, don’t watch.
Not a single par through 5 holes😅
Frankie…………
39:42 I assume we fixed the divot Frank?
Riggs…. more like RIGHT and SHORT on every iron and wood shot. Sheesh.
If anyone wants those fruits, two T-shOTSs by rigs, you would literally wanna pull your eyes off
Franky money bags apparently
make it stroke play
Boy nothing more I dislike than reading the armchair scratch golfers comments
💪🏻
Im a 6 handicap, have as low as a 3, played golf for 51 years. Ive never seen a bullshtter on their handicap like Riggs. He is at best a 14.
These guys play the hardest courses from the tips on camera. Everyone shut the fuck up with the handicap bullshit
So when are we getting the next writer cup videos ?
Only here for the how bad riggs swing is comments
this is what i needed
Riggs always takes a wood on par 5s on the second shot no matter what.. you aint gettin there in 2 anyway so use an iron. Its ruining your score for no reason
Bob wins again.
If I swung the club like Riggs I wouldn't want anything to do with the sport.
no push carts?
Riggs tee shot on hole 2 @ 8:20 might actually be the worst golf swing I've ever witnessed. If you don't break 100 at the end of this video, I wholeheartedly believe you should not be allowed to golf ever again. Frankie mops the floor with you 5&4 is my prediction.
Less talking, more shots.
Frankie cheated on 15.. hit the grandstand but you still have to find your ball. If I hit a cart path and cant find my ball it isn't a free drop.. huge asterisk on that bogey to push
Franking playing an all time course for the 500th time “I can’t believe we get to do this”
Lucky bastard lol
Why did Frank give Riggs hole 14?
Yet another score Riggs didn't post. White tees are 74.6 / 149. Really tough which would generate a decent differential, but it's nowhere to be seen on his GHIN.
That putter stroke is 🤢🤮🥺
Frankie just nutting all over Bethpage. The pros better watch their step.
Why are people so obsessed with Riggs handicap? Yea his swing is like a 15 but his short game is closer to a +2 handicap. He makes great up and downs all the time.
Barstool NY doesn’t have two interns to carry these bags?
Adidas bags are trash
If Frankie doesn’t have the long ball going and hitting the long jrons close from the fairway he isn’t good enough to beat Riggs who is so used to scrambling and getting out of tough spots because of it driver and great short game.
I would say Riggs should play Dave next but I wouldn't want to waste Dave's time
Love the full adidas everything!
Where is the writer cup match. How can you upload this before it. Another joke barstool schedule. No wonder views are down across the board
I'm not trying to be a dick but from my view point on hole number 4. The right handed guy in red shirt hit his 3rd shot from the rough short of the cross bunkers and from the camera view went way left of the tower behind the green. When chipping his 4th shot it was almost next to the base of the tower. Just saying.
Frankie would easily shoot 4-5 strokes better if he just sucked it up and wore shorts.
Watching Riggs hit out of the rough is hands down one of the hardest things to watch. All love for Riggs but Jesus man figure out how to make a proper swing out of the rough and not look like you just got shot.
WE ALL KNOW RIGGS IS BAD…..BUT FRANKIE IS RIGHT UP THERE WITH HIM….TERRIBLE AT GOLF
Holy shit these guys suck
Unjustified arrogance and delusions about ones ability to perform any type of activity doesn't sit well with a regular well adjusted person. This and this alone is the main reason people can't stand this Riggs guy.
he will never beat the allegations lol
These rounds before the actual event are pretty sweet. Hopefully yall can keep pulling them off.
