Greens ‘n Groans – Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 (Xbox) Emerald Dragon All 18

Check one. Check two. Check one. Check three. Look at that bird. Nicely done. We have a couple of viewers here. Maybe um let us know if our mics sound all right. I uh I just reinstalled software for my mixer and for OBS updates, so that jettisoned a bunch of settings. So hopefully we sound okay. Yeah, always sucks when that happens, but at least you are pretty down pat with getting it reset now. So, but anyway, uh yeah, I guess it’s been since what, June? Since the last one of these we did. Yes, something like that. It was June. That’s correct. But, uh yeah, welcome back to Greens and Grown season. Whatever this is. Not that we not that we really have seasons here, but uh the 2025 season of uh whatever this this show is of us suffering through some uh Tiger Woods PGA Tour games, but we’re going to try one of the fantasy courses this time around. Uh I guess this is the first fantasy course I’ve I’ve recorded video of or streamed or anything. Yeah, we’ve not only not made any videos of them, but we’ve not streamed them. Yeah. So, um, welcome to the the suffer zone. Y’all get to suffer with us today as we Yeah. So, if for anyone who hasn’t played these, you know, early mid2000s Tiger Wood games, um, the fantasy courses tend to be a lot more difficult than the ones based on real life courses. Um, actually, I think you’re controller too. Okay, then I trust you, man. I will be player two with controller one. Um, but yeah, the the fantasy courses in these games are just uh lots of like sheer cliffs, lots of just fantastic kind of um, you know, landscapes, just huge water gaps. Yeah. Like here’s a couple of the other, you know, Penguin Falls is like on a glacier. I think there’s like a couple of holes in a cave at some point in Penguin Falls. Or maybe I’m thinking of Black Rockck Cove. This one’s on the side of like, I think an active volcano. I’m not sure. Yeah. Uh, Highlands is like a bunch of weird Scottish castles. Predator is in the jungle. Uh, and also punishing. Walaby Creek might actually be the most difficult fantasy course. Oh, it’s so bad. It’s really a lot of cliffside. Uh, OB drop offs. Just really punishing stuff. Emerald Dragon, I think, is actually on the lighter end of these fantasy courses. Um, yeah, I would say it’s one of the slightly easier ones, but Anyway, we’ll give it our best. We’ll we’ll give it a shot. See how this goes. I don’t think we’re going to have to quit or anything out of frust. I think it’ll just I think after 10 strokes or whatever, you just you take a a gimme and then you just go on with your with your bad self. But, um, welcome to Emerald Dragon, a present as a challenge. Well, as far as I can tell in OBS, the levels look okay. I think we’re at least loud enough to be heard. Yeah, I’m trying to be more projective this time, too. So, us being louder is I mean, I don’t want us to be blown out with our with our audio, but yeah, I’d rather we be heard over the game. Um, I I’ll take too loud over too quiet. So, sure. Fingers crossed we we got some solid audio. Oh, I got All right, first hole of the Emerald Dragon. Okay. Um, definitely a bit of a warm up, but it’s already got bunkers on both sides. And yuck, I don’t like that. And you have to cross a stream. I’m going to try to drive this and just maybe here. I don’t know. So, just a little preview of what we’re going to be looking at. Has nice scenery. Oh, you’re hitting over a lake. Never mind. Uh, this is a this is a small lake, I would say. Okay. I have no idea what’s going to happen. I think you’re good. I feel like it should. Yeah, you’re you’re solid, I think, here. Okay. No, no, no. Stop. Yeah, you’re okay. No. And this is this is like the easy stuff on this course for sure. Oh, this is a walk in the park compared to what’s coming, unfortunately. Yeah. But hey, at least we have something cool to look at. I like all the waterfalls on this one. Got uh Freddy Fazbun in the chat. Thanks for joining us. Welcome. Welcome. All right. Uh, so I guess you clubbed up to a driver or something here. I did go ahead with the driver. Uh, I don’t know if I want to go for this. This would be this would be tricky. If I really pump it up, I can probably make it, but I’m going to play it safe just so I don’t start with a uh a ball in the water. Uhhuh. And I’m going to do the fivewood. Well, actually, I’ll do a driver, but I’ll just ease off of it a little bit. Were your powers maxed out? It puts you at that weird awkward length. Yeah, I could really use a three-wood here to be honest, but that’s not in my bag. I I don’t have one in my bag. So, all right. Let me just kind of God speed, man. Yeah. Think that’s good. Oh, I hope it’s good. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah, it’s good. Okay. Yeah, that’s actually that’s just about right. I think you’re close to me. Yeah. Hey, what’s up? Hey, neighbor. All right, I’ll take that. Okay, now we’ve got a little Is this a four? Oh my. Uh, so this is actually a par five and I’m going for this is my second shot here. So if I hole it, that would be an albatross with a fivewood. Yeah, with a fivewood, which is not going to happen. Um, I’m going to go for it because I think the worst that’ll happen is I’m going to wind up in the bunker and I think I can chip it up from the bunker. So might as well, man. Screw it. I’ll just go for it. Put a little pepper on it. I’m hoping that the grass will take the edge off of it and it’ll just kind of pop up on the green. Probably what’s going to happen is it’s just going to flop in the bunker. Yeah, like that. Okay. Well, again, I can I can pop it up out of there. Yeah, you might need a game to hit it here. Hey, man. You want some sunscreen for that beach? Yeah, I’m working on my tan out here. Of course. Maybe have a picnic while you’re down there. All right, I’m using what? Really? Oh, gonna go for it, huh? God. I guess I don’t know what’s going to happen. Mine will probably roll off the back and I I don’t know. I’m afraid. Yeah, I could try to segment it out, but I I would rather do what you did and just get in front of it in the bunker and then be happy with that. So, I think you’re definitely heading right at it. A little bit of a slice there, maybe. Oh. Yeah. Well, you’re going to get you’re going to at least get a bounce off the grass, so maybe you won’t be as buried as I got myself uh in the sand. Rot not a direct hit. Just a bad break here, Gary. Came up a little short in Sandsville. All right, let’s take Oh, yeah. I am I am in there. I’m real in there. Might need a shovel, man. Um, I’m debating on whether I want to go for an approach wedge, but I think what I want to do is just pump up my sand wedge. Yeah, they usually have pretty good power. Yeah, I think I I think I’ll do all right. That’s uh it’s not bad. I’ll take that. This is just amazing from that line. No, that’s good. I’ll take it. Sitting well. Could be a lot worse. At least the weather looks pretty good for now. For now. Yeah, we can still birdie out here. Yeah. Let’s see. 77%. Oh, no. Oh, just a bit short. Okay, now let’s just going to need a mighty putt here. Let’s make this happen. All right. 11 in long. Well, you know what? That’s fine. That seems pretty doable. Fine with me. I hope it wasn’t lying. Oh, no. You know, I almost felt like I should have put that a little bit to the left and I should have went with my instincts in that when I did not. Well, par is better than bogey, but a hazard safe. That’s a That’s a de a deceptive caddy tip, I would say. Yeah, he lied. He ain’t getting a tip. Not for me. Let’s see. This looks pretty much straight on. I will bump it up a little bit just because that’s how I roll literally. No, it’s true. Okay, now that was nice. Take a birdie. Jeez, this this par4 is longer than the par five. That was a par five, but this one coming up is a par four. Oh god. 525 yards. Oh jeez. Nice pigota, but still. And Mount Fuji or whatever hanging there. an elevated. Yeah, that’s what I mean. It looks very Fuji-esque. I would uh definitely love to go to Japan someday. Me, too. I mean, you know, who wouldn’t? That seems risky. But I don’t know if I could handle like Tokyo because of how ginormous it is. But maybe try one of those slightly smaller cities first. I don’t know. Even their small cities are huge, but they’re, you know, up in the northern part like it’s screw it. I’m gonna go for it. It’s a little more rural rural rural rural juror. Yes. Oh, that’s Well, should have gone for it. Should not have gone for it. Don’t go for it, man. Would be my advice there. Don’t go for it. Oh, he’s mad. He’s really mad. Yeah, I Yeah, that tree. They put that tree there on purpose. Okay. Which was it? The Oh, I see. Just shoot for the right. Don’t Don’t shoot for the right. Was it that cherry tree? It was the cherry tree that’s closer. Yeah, that one. I ain’t even going to No, I don’t want that smoke. They 100% put that there to screw you up if you try to if you try to cut it short. Yeah, I’m sorry, man. It happens. It’s okay. Par fours are usually where I suck anyway because they’re the harder holes. They are. Number five. There you go. That’s what I should have done. 300. Okay, I’ll take it. Okay, this is uh not the best lie here. Got the drop and flop. Now I’m in deep. Oh man. I’m really tempted to try a recovery shot, but I’m I’m also worried about the stupid tree in front of me. It’s going to have to go way high to get over that. I mean, a three iron should go way up, right? Uh I mean, that’s definitely on the lower end of irons or as far as like the arc, but you know what? Hang on. We knew there would be pain. I knew that some of this was going to be today. All right. Nice. I’ll take that. I’ll take that. I’m still probably bogeying this hole at least. What was that? My third shot. Um I think so. Yeah. So, unless I can like chip it in from here. I am at least getting a bogey on this hole. You never know, man. Give it a try. Oh, you on the other hand, if you can get it up on the green and that is in the pan’s bad spot. Look how much green. This is a rough par4. No, they couldn’t put it like here. Yeah. No, it’s got to be over here. This was the easy uh hole placement, too. Like the easy pens. I’m glad you didn’t pick hard. Uh me, too. I’d be rocking. I would definitely give it a little extra oomph. You’ve also got the wind pushing you around. I’m trying to Let’s see. Carry the two. All right. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I think you might be a little short. Definitely. Oh, okay. I mean, crap. All right. Well, the good news is you’re at least just down the hill, so Yeah. And you’re not in the sand. Nah, but it’s a steep it’s a steep climb. Well, we’ll do what we got to do. All right. Uh yeah, let’s Man, if I could just put this in the hole right now, boy, that would feel really good. I would like to see that. I would love to see it. Yes. All right. Okay, that’s uh good start. I think it’s going to be a little right. Not bad, though. Not bad. At least I set myself up for for bogey. What is this camera angle? What? I think it’s the hill. Oh, it’s because Jeez, just like this is a great shot of a low resolution green texture. Yeah, because I’m so close. I’m not really going to put it to the right that far, honestly. Okay, 13 yards. Yeah, I don’t think wind is wind is definitely not what you need to worry about at this point. Well, no. Just I suck when I have to like put when I need to put it like half speed. I It’s hard to control. It’s tough to dial in the analog uh power. Exactly. Yeah. Seven. Really? This is You’re rolling downhill fast, I guess. God. Okay. Um you know, I just want it to get close at this point. Well, this will at least put you closer if nothing else. Man, that’s a that’s a nasty break to the right. I knew that I could sit here all day trying to figure it out and I wouldn’t have. So, I’ll just take the L. And that I got to say this is um this is a rough par4. Yeah. We’re not even in the the bad part. It’s really long. Like like you said, this was longer than that par five we just did. Yes. Like that’s nuts. Yeah. Four yards longer. get in there. I I can’t remember if it’s this course or the Predator. I think it’s the Predator. There’s like a I know Wabby Creek has one like a 700 yard par five. It’s God ridiculously long. Yeah, that’s that’s further than to get a ball down a single hole. Accuracy is the key. Keep your t-shot on the green or you’ll pay the price. Now, I want to just say look at this bridge on this hole. Just look at the angle of this weird arch brick. Like it’s neat looking. It is neat looking. And then if you actually tried to climb or get, you know, stand on it at either end, I don’t know how that would work cuz it’s basically going straight up. Yeah, you got to like climb up and then I’m just I just I just want to put like the they you know, it’s definitely decorative like not Are there supposed to be steps? Maybe. Maybe. I don’t know. It’s like, were you going to put a tugboat through this thing or something? Why is it going so high? Just really strange. It is. It’s weird. Um, anyway, one of my favorite uh architectural anomalies on on this particular course. Uh, yeah, let’s just, you know, let’s just put it in the hole. Okay. I would love to see this go in the hole. I would love to see it. Me, too. I don’t think it’s gonna, but we’ll see. Whoa. Okay. All right, I’ll take that. Nice. Thank you. Yeah, one of the first of many waterfalls. The scenery is really just good looking. Yeah, this is one of the nicest looking courses in this game, I think. 100%. Even with weird looking foot bridges. Yeah, considered. 185 by 179. Just give it a little bit. I don’t know. I think you might have pulled it a little there. Okay, you’re on it. Oh. Oh, stop stop. Okay. I think you’re within about eight or ft. Yeah. Eight or so. Okay. Pretty good. Oh, I’m happy with that considering what it could have been. Okay. Yay. First birdie of the game. So, uh, I’m a, uh, I’m a longtime fan of giantbomb.com, and they were they were doing their own golf week, uh, actually this this past week. Uh, mostly just an excuse to play a bunch of different golf games, and also they had some new merchandise like a a golf shirt and a golf hat that they were selling. Um, yeah, I think I remember you saying that. Um, do they have They didn’t have any Tiger, did they? No, I don’t think they wound up playing uh any of the Tiger Woods, unfortunately. They did play um Neo Turf Masters. They played some I think Mario Golf on N64. Um I don’t think I they I think they did play one of the new PGA Tour games actually, like uh 2025 or whatever. Yeah, like some something that’s actually fresh. Yeah, one of the more contemporary ones, which I get that plays a forest and a substantial body, but I don’t know. There’s just something about these mid200s Tiger Woods games. It just I think they just feel they just they have a good feel to them. They’re not too realistic. They’re not too video gamey. I don’t know. They kind They kind of hit a sweet spot. It is very much a happy medium with balance. I do agree. um cuz I don’t want my golf to be like necessarily too realistic to the point where I’m uh getting extremely frustrated with every single hole cuz that’s what is probably going to happen in real life when I try to play golf. Um I know I was talking to my mom um earlier about how we were going to stream and she’s like, “Why don’t you go play some real golf?” I’m like, “We will be mad cuz we suck at real golf and people will be like staring at us that are behind us. you know, waiting. See if this pays off or if I myself on trees. Okay, I think this will actually work. That looks good. Cool. I’m happy for that for you. I’m I’m much happier with that than the uh than that other hole. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, it’s been a long time since I even went out on the driving range, let alone an actual golf course. I I’d need to I don’t know. I would need some practice before I even considered getting on a course. Yeah. Like if if we were able to play with nobody watching, whatever. But yeah. Yeah. If I had my own private like, you know, threehole course or something. Sure. But that’s what I tried telling her. I’m like, it’s we would need to go to the driving range and you know, it’s Yeah. I don’t know where this is going. this shot, but it’s heading to the right. I like the idea of it, but I mean, you know, you’re uh you’re riding the right. Yay. But you’re on the fairway. I’ll take it. What kind of distance are we talking about here, David? Looks to be about 200 yards. Yeah, this version of the game does look nice in the in the progressive scan. It does. It’s got a nice crisp look to it. It looks good. Well, okay. I’m just going for it. I think you’re okay. I hope so. Oh, god. I think you’re okay. Well, hey, man. It could have been a lot worse. Yeah, that could have gone way worse, man. I wouldn’t be too would be too put out. I’d hate to see what he dunked if it actually dunked it. Yeah, he might have just jumped in there, too. Yeah. jumped in after it. It’s a little bit of wind. I swear it can really mess you up. I think it’s what happened to me, honestly. I didn’t compensate enough for the wind. It took just enough of the edge off. Yeah, that’s nice. That’s awesome. Yeah, you can’t get wrong with that. I’ll take What was that? Four feet. Yes. Yeah, I’ll take that. Oh, hello. Let’s tip that in. Okay, I’m gonna go easy on the power here. 29 versus 15. Oh, okay. Snap. I think you did it. It’s um pulsing. Very, very good. Excellent shot. I got to replay that. Well, I was hoping it would change angles, but it didn’t. So, ah well, still working. Yes. Excellent shot. Thanks. I should get a pinseer and a close brooch and chip change and a birdie. Yeah. See if if if you know, you know, if we got paid this much money in real life for playing golf, yeah, I would go out on the on a real course and play regardless of how much I suck just for the chance of making that much money. But that got a little squirly there. It wanted to bounce a little bit. Uh, did a little toilet bowl action I didn’t I didn’t care for. No. Yeah, I know what you mean, right? What in the world? Oh, this is like the stair step fairway. It looks cool. Lots of chances to get your ball in the sand. It’s like what? Three sand traps and water between here in the in the hole. I think the initial is water. That’s like if you just screw up your drive really bad. But then, well, I’m going for at least this. We’ll see what I can do. And it’s going uphill, so that’s going to take a little distance off. Just happy Gilmore. It Yep. Whack. This seems like where I want it. I think it should be good. Yeah, I’ll push it a little further. Cool. Nice. All right. All righty. Let’s see what we can do here. Escalade. Oh, oops. Spanish for stairs, right? Um, escalade. I think so. Escalade. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Escalero. I don’t know. I didn’t I didn’t take Spanish in school. I did and I still can’t even remember. I know. Laqua is school. Some words stick out. Aqua. Yes. Water is what you’re hitting over. Yes. Mucho awa. Mucho awa. I think that was clear. You should play well from here. Okay. Yeah. He sounded happy about that. I think he did. Right up on the lip. You’re good. Okay, I’ll take that. So, it’s going to come in a little flatter. All righty. Let’s see what we can do here. Man, every single pin is like in the worst corner of the green. Yeah, I swear I didn’t I didn’t up the difficulty of the pinned position. Like, no, they’re just doing it. They’re just in really bad spots. This looks pretty good, though. This looks really good. Oh no, you pulled it off. What’s weird is I I was pushing forward on my directional pad, but it was rolling it backwards. That’s weird. Oh, no. You have to use the stick, not the D-pad. Oh, okay. That’ll do it. Yeah. Well, hell, I sabotaged myself on that one. Yeah. I mean, you know, you’re not in the worst position. Nah, it’s not terrible. I’m just gonna hit this like full force normal and see what happens. Oh, all right. Come on. Oh, snap. Wow. Whoa, that was close. Please stop. Stop rolling now, please. but looks to be setting up quite royally. Well, I didn’t. All right, that’s I think that’s doable. A little tricky, but doable. Okay, let’s see. Let’s do the left first and then the long. Mhm. I don’t know, man. That’s what it says, but putting out of the roof is tricky. I’m just going to go for it. See what happens. I see. Oh, I felt like that was too far to the left. It got me. Let you tap in at least. Yeah. Yeah. Was that par? I think so. All right. Well, I should have listened to my gut again and not put it as far left. It told me to. It’ll be all right. Yeah. These uh these greens are tough so far. These are challenging greens. Yes. Lead into a lot of groans. That’s a birdie. Yeah, this this game’s going to have some groans in it for sure. Okay, what are we? All right. Oh my. Ew. Wow. Triple triple six par five coming up here on hole six. On hole six. On hole six. Hole six. Triple six yardage. They really wanted to make sure uh the devil took your ball in this hole. This is a long par five, too. That’s really bad. That’s got to be Yeah. Almost 700 yards. Yeah. Long, long hole. It’s a long way home. All right. Well, we got a drive challenge. So, that’s good. Just going to do my best to blast it down the fairway. This fairway. Trees everywhere. Yeah, lots of trees. This fairway is very ragged looking. I don’t know. It’s It has a lot of dimensions to it, which can be good or bad. Yeah. Yeah. Just going to hit it hard and hope for the best. I think you’ll be good. H caught a little bit of the rough there, but and I feel like I I’m still not halfway down this stupid fairway either. Like this is a really long hole. No, it’s this is crazy. I can’t even get to the second one. Yeah, you’re just going to have to full send that thing. Yes. Right. You’re only on a fivewood. Wait a minute. Hang on. Well, you know, I don’t even know if I would go for the driver. Let’s just do that and put it right there. Hope for the best. Tiger Woods. I mean, happy Tiger Gilmore. Yeah, Tiger. Tiger Gilmore. Happy Sandler. Oh, roll. I kind of had a feeling. Yeah. Slope down towards the rough. So, it’s really hard to avoid that. Yeah. I got a dunk and you got 335. Yeah. It’s okay. I went like what? $1,000 or something. I’m stupid. Yeah. It’s not a huge chunk. Okay. I’m going to attempt to drive from the rough and hope that it doesn’t like I don’t know what’s going to happen here. Driving out of the rough can always be a little It’ll do that is what it’s going to do. Might want to use a low iron on the next next show. I was thinking a a wedge or iron would probably be my best bet. Three or two or I don’t know. It just can’t get the the lift with the open face. Wow. So, I can just maybe barely get it next to the green here if I hit this as hard as I can. God. That’ll be good. I’m going for it. I don’t even think this is going to hit the green. No, that’s what you called. Oh, well, we asked for this, didn’t we? We we we did. We talked about it and we agreed to do this. So, I can’t really can’t really complain. No, we’re we’re in it now. It’s not going to stop me from complaining, just to be clear, right? Am I still okay? I’m going to bump this up to a two iron because of one, the elevation increase of wise to do that and two, I am in the rough. So, I’m just going to If I hadn’t already been in the driver, I would have clubbed up. Yeah. Um, honestly, I don’t even know if this will get there. It’s probably still going to be short from the green. I think you’ll at least make the next chunk of fairway, but it’s I don’t think I don’t think you’re hitting that green. How about I push it as far back before it changes? Yeah. and just see what the hell happens. All right, that I’m glad I did that, though. At least it gave you the power you needed to get up here. Mhm. Oh, all righty. If this doesn’t get up there. No. Oh man. Oh well. Need a little more juice. Yeah, the wind now is playing. I’m definitely clutting up here. Um, yeah. Also, that even just the 6 mph wind against you is enough to kind of screw you up on an approach. Um, yeah, it really is. Do this. Screw it. There we go. Eight. Nine. Okay. 6 ft. I’ll take that. Chip and change. Very flat. At least I’m awful at chipping. I’ll try it, but I don’t ever really get them chipping. It’s close. be four birdies. Oh man. This course is already chewing us up, I’d say. Well, at least we’re not getting like, you know, plus five or whatever. That just about screwed me. I should have adjusted my uh should have adjusted it left a little bit, but yeah, it’s okay. I’ll take it. Not yet. We’re not. Sorry. I’m just Not yet. No, we’re not even on the back nine yet. No. Um, there’s some real mfers on on the back nine on this course. Hell yeah. Yay. A bogey. That’s all right. Hard to get excited about a bogey. Well, we’re done with that. Yeah. Awful. On to lucky seven. This one’s even longer. Yeah. What? 697. I think it’s 671. Oh yeah, I don’t know where those numbers are coming from. We’re hitting over a canyon. So, make sure you set up your your second shot for this and then another canyon. I do like the design of the green though. It’s a pretty cool little It’s like a clover. I think it’s kind of like a I don’t know almost like a Japanese family like crest or something. It kind of looks like Yeah, it’s got like a, you know, kind of that triangular. Kind of looks like the Triforce or something. I don’t know. Yeah. Or a fidget spinner. Sure. All right. I need to make sure not to hit this in the freaking gully or I’m going to be a sad panda. So much OB around here. In fact, you probably want to hit it a little bit to the uh right and back. Like more like here. That’s what I’m going to do. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, not that. That’s probably going roof. Oh, no. Yeah. Oops. I hope it’s I don’t think it’s going in OB. Oh, it’s sat. Now I’ve got to shove that thing out of the rough and try and get it across this stupid canyon. Damn it. Okay. No mercy on the animal today. No, that looks like a much better shot. I think I’ll be happy with it. Push it to the right. I would don’t be a [ __ ] It’s all right. In the hole still over there. Um I would just I would just drive it. I mean, you’re going up 81 feet anyway. It’s gonna stop. It’s It’s You’re not going in that long or that, you know, no, you will not make it to that pond. There is no way over the tree. Hey, tree. Come on. Come on. Come on. You should be set up pretty well for your next shot now. Using the analog stick now. That’s still a long shot to the hole. Yeah. 114 yards. Rough. Am I in here? Yeah, for real. Okay, this is actually just right. light rough. Could have gone worse. That’s not too bad. Um I hope I will. Sorry, I was trying to make sure my levels are good. Oh, yeah. No problem. I’m not hitting the yellows, am I? No, you’re actually a little over. Oh, you’re you’re like on the on the high end of the yellow, which is which is what I want. Okay. All right. Yellow is like the ideal range on on OBS. Just no red. Um I mean, a little like the low end of red isn’t terrible. Well, that’s where you start getting into like clipping or blowing out. But like again, I’d rather us be too loud than too quiet. Yeah, cuz if you can’t hear us, then there’s not much point to No. What was I doing? All right, here we go. Wow. Okay, that really took the wind out of my If it hits the rock, that could actually really work out. Wow. Wow. I think it’s bouncing me back, though. Oh man, maybe the angle of the rock was not the best for that. Guess not. Oh, now I’m in the deep. There’s no possible way I’m making it up there. I can’t imagine. No, I think I need to take my medicine here and just uh I would I’m just going to sand it up here. I doubt it’s going to go in the water. Yeah. Yeah, this was probably the better move. Um, better to be safe in these particular situations. I really don’t want a water hazard shot. Yeah. No. What is this? My third shot. Fourth shot. Okay. I’ll be lucky if I make par here. All right, let’s do it. Little far, a little little hard on that, I guess. A little sandy, I guess. Oh, that’s unfortunate. Uh, you know, it’s more club, but no pain, no gain, man. No, no, actually, we’re gaining a lot on this course then. Yeah. Uh, okay. I’m clubbing up to an approach wedge because of 40 foot elevation. Yeah, just don’t hit it too hard. So, I I can either go back to 108 and knock the I would use the I would still use the approach wedge, but I just I wouldn’t hit it. Don’t do it 100%. Definitely don’t pump it with the uh Yeah, the white button or whatever. This should be all right. Maybe a little harder than that. Oops. Okay. Uh, okay. Well, you’re on the green. I mean, you’re within about 20ish. Yeah. Yeah. My bad. All right. That’s Meanwhile, screw this. I’m buried. Yeah, I’m definitely sanding my way out of this hole if anything. I really need a good shot. Was a good shot. Little too hard though. Yeah, I think you did good. Three feet. More like four. That’s more Okay. Would it? Would it? Would it? Could it? Nice. Nice birdie. Yay. Thank you. I’m hoping I get bogey. Okay, seems like the screen is pretty flat, so that helps. This looks really Sorry, I just hit the mic with my arm cuz I had to get a drink. The old mic donk. Yep. Don’t. All right. Well, we’ll just forget that whole hat. H I know. Mine’s coming. Yours was You uh you did well there. At least we kind of traded scores on these last two holes. Yeah, sixes and fours. That tends to happen with us. We just kind of flip-flop a lot, you know, on these. So, what the hell is this? This doesn’t look a lot of long pars of this course. This one doesn’t look as bad, at least. No, no broken like segmentations between the fairway and the green. I like when there’s there’s not a huge, you know, canyon or a lake. Yeah. I mean, there’s a couple of sand traps, but nothing like a a gully to hit your ball into at least. Yeah, for sure. Okay. Um, I would definitely hit it to the left. You’re you’re dropping 81 feet here. So, it’s probably going to go a little further than it says. Maybe that said, I wouldn’t push it too far to the left. Yeah, I don’t want to like I wouldn’t hit for that white tree on the left or anything. That looks pretty good to me. Nice fog rising up. Yeah, that’s so cool. All right. Uh, one, two, three, go. I will say I think the lighting is as crisp as this version of the game looks. I think the lighting’s a little flat compared to the PS2 version. I think the lighting just pops a little better. It does. Well, the PS2 version is so much dark area. Yeah, it’s very contrasty. Yeah. No, this one looks really good. All right, club it on up. Oh, he’s hit this one a mile. Nice. Put me on the right edge here or in the middle or whatever. Clear that giant tree. Yeah. All right. two iron. I think you’re best off of the two iron, but I mean, you can go for the fivewood. I just I don’t want it to like bounce to, you know, I don’t know. If you do the fivewood, it might bounce up onto the green from like the the apron. Only problem is um let’s maybe here. You could probably try five wood if you wanted. H I bet the angle that the front angle of the green I bet would would take enough speed off to not send it sailing, you know, back into the woods or whatever. All right, I’m just going to bump it up to the first instance of fivewood. Um, now let me let’s see. 2 mph wind over that amount of distance. You’re going up about 40 ft. So, I’m going to just try this and see what happens. going to try and hold the back of the green. Okay. Oh, it’s going to bounce up. Whoa. Nelly. But you’re on the green. Oh god. Okay. You’re on the fringe. I mean, that’s a Yeah. Sorry. I’m I was being a little more dramatic than it actually um was bad. I mean, it’s hard to tell where a ball’s going to bounce. Yeah. When it’s coming in hot. All right, give it a shot. Think that’s might be all right. I think it looks good. Yeah, that’s what I wanted to do. I got lucky on that one. No, that was nice, man. What? Wow. I would maybe just yeah, give it a little extra juice. But that looks pretty It’s pretty good. Nice. It’s doing the thing. I think that means you’re good. Yay. Okay, I’ll take that. Nice. Well, that’s a good reward after some of the crap. Yeah, I guess they I guess they throw you a bone on the screen and they just make it super flat. Yeah, it seems to be. I’ll take it. Me, too. After that last hole, I’ll take a birdie. Yes. All right, moving on to hole nine. The ninth is a stunning display of natural beauty. Easy par three. Downhill to this green, but be wary of the bunkers protecting it on both sides. I think he was saying something about the bunkers. Yeah, I think there’s Yeah, he just said watch out for the bunkers on both sides of the uh hole here, man. A lot of down 41 ft up 41 ft. Like a lot of elevation change on this on this course. Yeah. Uh okay. 194 by I’m not going to pump this at all by 190. You shouldn’t need to. Oh, nice. If you hold it, that’d be great. I would really, really, really, really like that. I think you I think you did. Oh my god. Very nice. Excellent. Excellent. Hey, you got a hole in one on the on the Emerald Dragon. That’s something to brag about. Wow. I’ve never done that on this course ever. Nice shot. Thanks. Good hole to do it on, too. Yeah. 375. Oh, yeah. Cool. If I get two, they give you like 60k or something, I think. Yeah, I I believe you get like a really large bonus. Okay, now I just need to do what you did. Yeah, I um I didn’t pump nothing. I just, you know, went with the um straight dead on. I didn’t give me the thumps. I might have hit it a little hard actually. It’s Yeah, I did need to club up. What? 20 ft. Oh, exactly. Says, “Nice shot, Elliot.” So Oh, thanks, Kirk. I appreciate it, man. Glad you’re enjoying the uh show. Yeah, that was a hell of a shot. Yeah, that was that was a nice boost to my um morale after some crap. I do not know about this this shot. Yeah. Is that Yeah, sure. I don’t know. Whatever. That’s not uh pretty close though. It It is close. It was deceiving. It’s a par at least. Okay, I’ll take a I will take that. Yes. All right. Front nine down. All righty. Moving on to the back. Now is the fun part. You ready for the fun part? Ready for some wacky dragon shaped greens that are just sitting in a pond. There is one, isn’t there? Yep. There definitely is. I thought so. green is perched up a bit and protected by bunkers in front and to the left. They like these little I don’t know like almost flower blossom patterns with the sand traps around the the greens on this chorus like Yeah, that’s that’s what it looks like. Um yeah, like four and five sand trap bunkers. At least there’s no pot bunkers in this. Yeah, it’s not uh it’s not one of the links courses at least. No. All right, I’m just going to put it out as far as I possibly can. Slightly to the left to accommodate for the wind and go. Okay, David Faraday holler. So I think he got up out of his seat for that. He might have gotten a little dizzy there. Spit up so fast. For real. Let us know if we sound good, Kirk. Yeah. Hopefully the uh audio is solid. Yeah. Where am I even hitting? Not over there. Go left. I think it’s I think it’s all right. Yeah, it was deceiving, you know. I want to say my name. Reminds me of that one. What is it? Uh TBC at Sawrass Hole 17 that’s kind of off in the water by itself. 17 is the aisle in green. I guess this one’s not actually an island, but there’s there’s also one very similar at the desert course. I can’t remember which desert course it is. Um, it’s either in Las Vegas or like Scottsdale. Scottsdale maybe. I mean, that would be in Arizona, right? That’s it. Yes, it’s the Scots TPC Scottsdale. There’s also an island green there, but it’s got more around it than the Sawrass. That one’s just there’s barely any rough at all. Like, you better be dead on. Okay. I don’t know. being told that I’m a little quieter than than you are on the mic. So, I’ll try and choke up on the mic a little more. Word. I’m trying to I’m like talking down at it so I can project. Okay, I’m going to turn up my gain a little bit. I think I had uh Elliot’s turned up a bit versus mine. So, let me know how that sounds. Okay, I do not want to hit this too hard. That was probably too hard. I think I’m back there, too. I don’t even remember, honestly, where I mean, I guess better than hitting it too soft and getting it in the water. Yeah. Okay. 8 in left, 6 in long. I don’t know. Hey, got the thump. Looks like your uh your calculus paid off. Yay. Nice birding. Apparently, I sound better now. So, that worked. Try to pump up the gain a little bit. Pump up the jam. I love to pump up the jams. It is chalk jams. Yeah. Hell yeah, man. Give me that. Cool. 658 yards. Hey, we’re we’re tied. We’re neck and neck right now. Wow. Suffering together, man. That’s right. Yes. We got a whole castle on this hole. Wow. The river factors into this hole, so watch your aim. This isn’t the one where you can Okay, never mind. I’m thinking the predator. God, that green is so far away and hidden behind trees. Yeah. Going to have to play the uh traditional. May have to may have to play it safe on this one. Yeah, another long This this course really likes its long parfives. And you have to come around this weird corner with this bunker. Honestly, I think you might be better off doing this. Yeah. Well, maybe not. Do you think that tree is I think that tree is gonna catch you. Yeah, I I think it is. That’s why. Yeah. Yeah. And then here. Now, you might be able to do this. Okay. This is what I’m thinking. But just be careful of the tree cuz it’s really reaching out to the left there. So, I would just You really don’t want it to catch your ball. Okay. All right. Well, maybe you could have hit further, right? I don’t know. That’s okay. I just hope it will. You seem like you’re fine. You’re not getting in the water if that’s what you’re worried about. Yay. That worked out pretty well. 300 on the nose. Okay, that works. I’m fine with that. That tree is I guess it’s actually shorter than it looks. Oh, it’s also lower. Like I’m actually we’re standing uh elevated a little bit above it. So maybe Yeah, you can get over that. I guess I can get over it. Yeah. Well, I’m going to try anyway. Nice. Wow. If we were playing real golf, we wouldn’t know that that shot was available. No, we’d need like a drone to go over there and even Yes. which is kind of what this, you know, that these games have always done is they give you sort of this like overhead almost like you’re sending out a little drone to kind of give you the view on the hole where you’re shooting it. It really is. This is This is kind of nuts. Um, so you’re not going to be able to get all the way over there, obviously. Yeah, I would do this. Yeah, I would I would do that. Just don’t don’t full send it or it’ll maybe go into the water. We will see what happens. Okay. Might want to back it off there. Holy crap. It’s coming in hot. It’s coming in hot. Yeah. Oh, son of a dang. Dag on it. Oh well, I am lucky that I haven’t sank it. Was that your first uh in the water today? Yep. I mean, that’s You know, I’ve already put it in the water once. It was bound to happen. Now this just seems like madness. But I guess I’m I screw it. I’m doing it. Whatever. I would. At least it’s a par five. Yeah. Oh, they’re not saying anything. They’re just like, uh, I don’t know what it’s going to do. You tell me. Oh, no. Don’t hit the trunk. Oh. Oh. Okay. All right. All right. I think I can Yeah, I think I can like punch it in now. Or punch. I mean, yeah. I just don’t want to I don’t want to kick it up too high. All right. Well, this isn’t terrible. This will end up in the green. Okay. I’ll be doing good to get par. Let’s pull it back a little. Yeah. 30t 40T. All right. It says to pitch. I’m going to Oh, punch is really hard, actually, isn’t it? It Well, um, maybe I should flop it. What you don’t get in distance, you make up for in velocity. Let’s sand wedge flop it up here and see what Sorry. Yeah, flop’s not bad. Oh, it really Okay, well, whatever. Neat shot. It hit the tree. I guess the flop really knocks it up. I don’t even really know what a flop shot’s for unless you’re trying to hit it over something maybe. Yeah, you’re trying to like get it up a Are you kidding or something? Wow. I would I would give it a little extra juice, but but yeah, sure. 43 foot par. Okay, let’s pull this out of our ass. Do it. All right. Come on. Nice. Yeah. All right. That’s pretty flat greens on this one. Wow. Okay, I’ll take it. Good job. Yeah, thus far. Oh, cool. Got this finish bonus. Hell yeah. And I guess I’ll also just do that. Do it. Nice shot of the castle. Yeah, it is. Yeah, definitely enjoying the scenery. That kind of helped offset some of the pain, right? Takes some of the sting off of these really nasty holes. Yeah. An ancient castle is the backdrop for this. Now we’re on the other side. 12th is a dog leg. right around the landmark to a green that is well bunkered in front and to the right and left. Keep your approach shot out of the sand or you’ll be whistling bogeies. Lot of trees. Yes. Not as much water. All right. That is a huge bunker, but at least it’s kind of shallow, though. I think I can make this work. Just whack the crap out of it when all else fails. I think this is going to be a long drive. Like 360, 370. I hope at least 360. 380. Wow, man. beat my last record by 11 yards. It did look like it had smoke off coming off of it there. Getting up to the 400 yard range. I think I can do this. All right, I’m going to ride the line. Looks pretty good. 360 view. Yeah, I think it’ll be okay. Yeah, you should be fine. Come on, bounce. Very nice. Okay, that should that should set you up pretty good for your next one. 210 yard. I’ll take it. Nice. Wow. You you bumping you uh skimmed that tree, but this is a very nice looking shot. Holy crap. I think it’s Oh, but it’s so close. I thought it was going in. I really It was tracking to a little bit. That’s a tasty shot. I’ll take that. Beautiful. Yeah. Tell me what you’re thinking, David. I can’t do that, but we have about If I could hold this in right now, that’d be also pretty cool. Coming down in the lawn, I believe. I think I hooked it a little bit. Go, go, go, go, go. Nice. Go, go, go, go, go. Yes. Oh, man. Yes. So close. You’re on one side, I’m on the other. Just a little closer. Yeah. Cool. Nice. taking it. Point. I’m not even gonna Yeah, just knock it in. Do your stupid dance. Do the soft shoe. Yeah. Sweep the floor. That may be the dumbest animation in the game. It really is. I believe I thought I took that out from his, but I didn’t. Maybe forgot to save afterward. Uh, who knows? Yeah. And at some point I’ll give him some new things. All right. Running along some water on the left. It doesn’t look too awful. A lot of bunkers, though. Yeah, that’s not where you need them or want them to be. No, it seems like they’re usually where you don’t want them. How convenient. It’s like the opposite of that one credit card or commercial or whatever. It’s they’re everywhere you don’t want to be all of this is a red ball. Man, you did get all of that one. Look. Wow. Where am I going? Did you send that to the moon? I don’t know. It’s a bird. What? It’s not even showing me where my ball’s landing. All right, whatever. I guess I landed on the fairway, so at least there’s that. Take that. Okay, I’m just going to Well, let’s see. Um, you know, whatever. I think you can do that. Surely to goodness. Okay, get bold. Get up and go here. Yeah. What What is up with this hole? I feel like I hit a bird. The camera just doesn’t want to like show you anything. Okay. I don’t know where that went. You’re still in the fairway, though, so whatever. That is so weird. Oh, man. Maybe this is a punch situation. I don’t know. You might be able to get over the trees of the sand wedge. I’m not sure. If I can get a steep enough angle here. Okay, we’re going 108 against 90. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m going to be straight up. Well, I think this one will be on the dance floor. All right. All right. Cool. Back back. It’s a pretty um Yeah, I guess it’s got the right angle on that club face to pop it up. Yeah. Yeah, those usually go up pretty high. I’ll try my A wedge. Sure. Looks like there’s a little bit of a approach wedges are good for this. Oh. I think you picked the right club, man. All right. Two feet. Three feet. That’s just a wonderful shot. Nice. Three feet. I like having which sometimes I I think about instead of having a three-wood, putting a five in and a approach instead of a pitch. You know, the more unique clubs that you don’t see often. Sure. Well, not too unique, but you know, they’re they’re they’re not the standards. Yeah. I mean, it’s just, you know, club strategy. You’re just limited on how many you can stick in your bag. So, there’s advantages and disadvantages. Yeah. Yeah. I think that looks a little Let’s go like cuz I just need one inch from the center or I mean one inch from like Yeah. Yep. Yep. two from the middle. Okay. Yeah. There we go. You were You were right on the money. It’s happy with that. It said you did the right thing. So, dead on. Thanks. Game right in the hole. Yeah. Just finish. Don’t know why I got one of those on that, but whatever. I mean, it was a pretty decent putt. Must have been far enough away. All right. number. Nice. All right, moving right along. Yeah, not too many left. Ah, here we go. There it be. Yeah. So, this is probably the most distinctive hole in on the entire course for obvious reasons. Just got that Tory gate kind of hanging out in the lake out there. And then just the whole the entire hole is shaped like a dragon. Just full stop. Oh man, this green sucks. It’s very lumpy looking. It is. It is so small and little. Yeah. And the wind is blowing against me. Oh, I don’t like it. Oh, okay. All right. All right. Maybe it likes you. Oh, I would really like a hole in one here. I would so like a hole in one. Do it, man. Oh [ __ ] Stop. Oh, okay. I mean, I’ll take it. That’s still a good shot. I didn’t put it in the water, so I’ll take it. Yeah. It’s like trying to land a 737 at like a I’m like a helicopter pad. Yeah. There we go. Yeah. Um the head of a pin. Uh five. I think you just hit it full force and don’t pump it up too much. Okay, let’s see. 146 against I don’t know. Maybe pump it up a little bit. The wind kind of The wind kind of knocked me back a bit. So, I’m going to give it like a few pumps, but not all the way. Yeah. Yeah. It’s all right. Bumping. It’s looking pretty good. Come on. Oh, man. And wow. Dang. That’s that’s maybe the best shot I’ve ever seen on this hole. I’m just getting lucky today. All right. Come on. Give me a decent putt here. Okay, I’ll take it. I can barely even see my freaking cursor for the flag. I know. It’s bad angle. Yes. Oh, I’m so happy I didn’t uh jump in the water there. Cool. All right. Sorry. Every time I get a drink, I try to like not bump the mic and then bump the mic. It’s a It’s a constant uh game of Twister with the the mic hanging in front of your face. There we go. Okay. Well, let’s see. Okay, I’ll take it. Well, that was pretty straightforward, honestly. Yeah, it wasn’t too bad. Almost felt like one of the easier once you get it on the green, it’s almost one of the easier holes. Oh, good. A 680 yard par five. Is that the longest par five we’ve seen? Yeah. Wow. It’s That’s like almost a 700 yard par five. Look at how long this hole is. This is ridiculous. This is like half the coast of Japan. Yeah, at least. Jeez. the left side of the green. A lake and a pond. There’s so much water. Bunker. Did I mention they were enormous? Holy guacamole. All right. Well, better get chopping. I guess you might have to take a bus or a train to get to the end of the hole. I’m just going to go full force on this one. Hope for the best. I would Are we allowed to talk about things? I think you’d be Gucci here, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Looks pretty good to me. Sweet. Okay. Apparently us bumping the mics isn’t a problem because they have internal shotg guards according to Kirk. So good good to know. Yeah, I was afraid I was like blowing somebody’s ears out every time I bump it. Like Yeah, if I done that with my old Yeti mic, it would have been like bonk. I used to put that thing on a like folding table on a shoe box. Yeah, I don’t blame you. Well, I’m glad to know. Okay, that’s not great, but it’s not awful. Let’s just um Okay. I mean, there’s so much fairway over here. I think if Yeah, that’s that’s fine. Don’t let it go to waste, Dro. There’s a lot of good fairway over there you can land on. So, I think that’s a pretty safe bet. Yeah. Just don’t get a wicked hook or a slice and you ought to be fine. I think it looks okay. Yeah, it looks great. And you’re within a, you know, 100 or 200 yards to the hole. So what’s it look like? Trying to get it past that tree was my main concern there. Come on. Give me a call when you got something relevant. I think you can get it over it. That’s Well, I don’t know. It’s going to be very risky. I’m going to play it safe, I think. Let’s go for a three iron. Can’t go wrong with that. I’m just going to take the safe shot. Come over to my neck of the woods there. Sure. It looks pretty good over here, honestly. It’s a lot less trees. Very open and nice. Oh, hey neighbor. Yep. What’s that? Yeah, that’s just more inviting, I think. What do you see? stress. Not behind that big cherry tree or whatever it is on the left. So, that’s good. Yeah, I’m going to I’m going to club up here at the risk of hitting it too hard. Looks wide, right? Might have been a little soft, but I think you’d be good. Go, baby. Go. Go. Go. Go. 20 ft. 15t. All right. Yeah. Okay. 108 yards. Wow. Oh, no. Never mind. 114. I just guessed what the wedge was. That looks pretty doable with an approach wedge. I forgot I had one of those, too. I’m not clubbing up. Glad I didn’t. I mean, you actually did once versus the sand wedge you originally had, but I think it worked out. 30 ft 18. You’re you’re over the hole, which is good. You’re higher for straighties, which is usually preferred versus being under it. I would prefer it. This sucks. The fast roll. Nope. Oh. Oh, good try though. I almost put it more left at the last minute, but I don’t look so shocked, man. Come on. He’s just like we’re putting for like 30 ft away or something. Yeah, this for six birdies in a row. I would love six birdies in a row. If it goes in. If it goes in. Oh, that’s seven when he does that, isn’t it? Uh, I think that Yeah, I think that’s seven. Maybe when he starts sounding like Don Knots or whatever. So many ostriches. Yeah. Too many ostriches. Come on, baby. Oh, damn. They turned the vacuum on. Yeah, they did. Nice. I think we’re coming up on Have we already have the signature hole? I What is Is the What? Which Which one is the signature hole? I don’t remember. I can’t. Is it this one? I guess on the picture. Yeah, but I feel like that’s probably gonna be toward the end. So, maybe not. I feel like there’s one more waterfall hall that we haven’t got to yet towards the end. A little zen garden over on the right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The little rocks. It was neat. My invisible caddy has hands me a club. That’s to keep you from losing your mind as you battle your way through this hell course. It’s not nearly as bad as it’s going to get with uh what’s next, Black Rockck or uh as far as fantasy courses? Um probably the Predator. Well, if we’re going in just the order that they show up on the menu, it would I think it would be the Predator. Yeah. But uh are there any uh regular non-fantasy courses that we haven’t played yet? I mean, there’s at least some where we haven’t done like all 18. Yeah, we could go back and redo the ones we did custom. Sure. Um, sure. And we haven’t streamed, but take a little break there. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Get up there. I’ll take it. We did. Yeah. Before we start getting into the really hard crap. Um. Whoa. Hello. Yeah. It might just, you know, I don’t know if I want to just do backto-back fantasy courses for like the next three or four streams. That might be uh that might crush our spirits. I don’t know. Yeah, the Predator although I Yeah, the Predator’s tough. I feel I feel like it’s tougher than this course. It is. And the the distances are crazy. Some of those are like 100 foot down. And it tempts you with like shortcuts through like like waterfalls and stuff. Sometime like there’s at least one hole. There’s one that there’s like a Mayan temple or something. Yeah, you can hit it over this like watery temple part and kind of cut the uh the corner. That one actually, if you hit it in the right spot, you can do it. Oh yeah, totally. It’s just it’s hard to see, but you’re blindly shooting. Yeah, it’s pretty much a blind shot through it. It is, but you know, riskreward. Looks like what the Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. Damn, that sucks. I didn’t mean to hit I screwed up. Okay, thumb slipped. Yes, that literally was. That’s That’s a pisser ball. Okay. Um good stiff whack here. Oh no. Pill. I should have bumped it up. Maybe. Yeah. Club up would have been beneficial there. Yeah. Well, I think the sand wedge is in order, I believe. Yes. Okay. Hey. All right. Well, that’s should beable after this one. I’ll take it. What am I balancing my club on? Nothing. It’s just like air hanging on the air. I’m doing a little Michael Jackson trick here. He does the lean or whatever. Yeah, with cane. All right. 7 inch, right? 12 feet long. I’ll pretend I even know what that looks like. That’s always cool. Uh I don’t know. Sure. Oh, it still wasn’t long, man. It’s deceiving though. Like this the slope on this screen’s nasty. I don’t like this. One really 1 foot 4 inch left. That’s not Could be worse. I just I don’t know, man. Oh. Oh, they turned it on. Yeah, it definitely like stopped and then went again. They snatched that ball up out of that hole. Something fierce. Seven straight birdies if it goes in. There you go. Seven straight birdies. I think you got this. We got the knots impression after all. I love when he does that. Sweet. Awesome. Hell yeah. You made him happy. He’s dancing. Oh, it’s like a yin-yang. I see. I’ve seen that. Yeah. I didn’t realize. Nice. It had to be at that exact angle for us to be able to tell. Yeah. See that overhead angle? All right, hole 17. Surely this or 18 is the signature. Whoa. It’s almost like 17 at the saw. Oh, yeah. This one’s even more like that, isn’t it? It’s basically Japanese TPC at Sawrass number 17. Yeah, you just have some like, you know, cherry trees and Oh, closest to the pin challenge. All right, I’m up for the challenge. It’s nicely framed there between those two trees. Just a little wind behind. That’s a real good setup actually. Yeah, this looks nice. Back it off. Back it off. Back it off. Back it off. Okay. 12 ft. It’s good. Why won’t it? Come on. Okay. 167 by 169. Okay, it’s bumping. Got the beat. Another hole in one would be very cool. That would be Oh. Oh, mama. Wow. Well, that’s Well, it went a hole in one, but it was damn close. I will take it. I think you won that one. Yeah, chances are high. Outlook is good. Yeah, one foot. Yep. Good job. Ball says outraight. At least we made it without any like rain or crappy weather on this. Yeah, weather was uh very nice out here. Yes. I’m not sure I ever I remember it ever raining on this course to be perfectly honest. I don’t think it ever has. Nice. Hell yeah. All right. Putting for birdie the penultimate hole. Okay, we didn’t make it, but uh we should make the next one. Doesn’t get much better than that. I’ll take it. Cool. All right, let’s finish strong. So, they’re giving us a shorter par4 to finish with. Okay, that’s little little under 400 if it’s not like some kind of hellscape. Okay. Yep. This is the water hole. Waterfall hole. This must be the signature then, right? I’m thinking it is this one. Whenever they’re doing when the demo comes on and they’re playing an Emerald Dragon, this is usually the one that it features. Gotcha. Nice little waterfall back there. Yeah, it looks neat. Do I Do I dare? Um I think I dare. I mean, I think I dare. If you don’t, you know, if you’re straight on, I think you can do this. Happy Gilmore. Yep. Bomb’s away. Look at that. Holy crap. Coming in for a landing. I think I’m going to make it onto the green. Oh, I’m actually exceeding the green. Yay. Green and one on a four. Dang. Almost 400 yards. Let’s see. There’s no way I can do that. I didn’t even need to I didn’t even need to pump up my spin. No. Okay, let’s see what What are you doing, man? Come on. Pay attention. Okay. My golfer sitting there just la. Okay. There’s not a chance in hell that I can do this. I think you want to hit on the near side of the shore here. I don’t have enough power for that. So maybe a five would. Yeah, I’m going to keep it on the five at least will ensure that you don’t put it in the drink. Sorry. You’re good. Okay. I had gazoon height. Thank you. They I knew they were coming. I couldn’t stop them. It’s been pretty dry last couple weeks. Yeah, it has. It’s October. You know, the weather’s changing. We’re finally getting October temps temps. Um I don’t know if I should I’d be hesitant with a driver. You’re going to be I would not hit it full force with a if you use it. I think you might be better off with a fivewood. Really? Yeah. Let’s just be careful here. At least that way it’s not going to go in the water here, David. This should work out great. dope dope. Yeah, I don’t care what he’s doing. Yeah, I feel like this Tiger Woods in particular has a that’s when it kind of started showing your golfer more in the like replay of the shot versus the ball flying through the air, which you know, just for the record, you can control the spin of the ball while it’s in the air. So, it really helps if you can see it, you know, where it’s landing, where it’s going, as opposed to like watching your golfer walking around like a chud. Oh, nice shot. It seems to be happy what I did. Just put it in the hole. That’d be great. Why is that even That’s like seven feet away. Oh, exactly. Well, it thought it was special, so I’ll take it. anywhere near the hole. There’s a mighty putt. Wow. I might actually have a chance. Those are not terrible dimensions. No. Yes. Go, baby. Go. Is that an eagle? I think so. Hell yeah. I’ll take that. Sweet. That’s a great Yeah, you might as well, man. Get it all cuz that is one way to finish, sir. Soak it up. Nice. Hell yeah. Okay, I’m going to just go with straight in here because it is sloping down. So, I’m not going to give it an extra boost. And that’s part. That was the birdie. Okay. Finishing strong with a birdie. I’ll take it. All right. Let’s look at the stats. All right. Few putts in a round. Looks like we both tied for that record. Awesome. Got the lowest round. You got fewest putts in a round. Most fairways hit at 13. Okay. Very good. I think we did pretty good all things considered for this for this course. Yeah, it could have been worse. We both came in uh well under the par. I mean 73 is the par. You got 64. I got 59. So, I feel pretty good about that. I’ll take it. So, heck yeah. Let’s see. All right. 68 grand total. 69K. Nice. And I got about 45. So, I guess the hole in one is what really Yeah. That’s why that always gives you a nice little little payday. Yes. All right. I guess that’s a stream. Yeah, we’ve conquered I would say we conquered the the Emerald Dragon pretty well. Yeah, I think so, man. That was not as bad as it could have been, but yeah, but there are worse fantasy courses yet to be uh yet to be streamed. Yeah, the Walabe Creek is got to be the most awful. It’s it’s I remember having some like 10 stroke holes on that on that course and uh just feeling bad about life after after playing it. So yeah, I might need a beer for that one. Yeah, that one’s going to be rough. But we’ll see. But hey, uh hopefully we can do this again soon. Um you know, maybe one more time before the end of the year. Who knows? We’ll we’ll see how the schedule goes. But semianual. Yeah, I’d like to at least get a couple streams in a year. I mean, this is this would be two at least. Um, let’s try for three. Why Why not? This actually is our third this year. Oh, is it? Did we do one at the beginning? We did one in March. Oh, okay. And then June and then now October. Okay. So, they’re they’re almost like quarterly streams. Yeah. If you Well, you know how it is as a friend and you’re an adult, you have to plan three business months ahead. Yeah. Unfortunately, there’s stuff getting in the way of us just, you know, playing video games whenever we want, especially when we’re trying to uh, you know, do it in in uh sync with each other and stream it out live. So, well, the stars align today, man, and the planets or something. So, yeah. Well, we’ll uh we’ll do it again soon. So, thanks for catching me and uh Elrod here for another Greens and Grans. And I guess we’ll see you next time. Later, guys.

ElRod and MrSensibl travel to the exotic land of impossible bridges in TW04.
