The final three rounds of the Scottish trip where I chase scratch handicap this is my second time at KUSI this is the morning round I’m tearing off here at about 7:30 and we’ve got three rounds for today my handicap is 1.5 we’re only counting six of the scores which is

Strange as you get to 18 19 and 20 you start to increase the number of scores you count your handicap to seven and then finally the best eight out of your last 20 oh goes the other way what the hell is that man come on from the yts he Cy these bunkers

Somehow get more in your head I already found one on the second hole and you can tell when you’re in a bunker there you’re in deep deep trouble a little bog ski on the second hole and I’m looking not so sharp really came here with a lot of confidentiality and

It’s quite warm so no excuse a little that’s a little nipple liquor because it’s opened up the hole oh go go on the approach shot I hit a sand wedge completely crap and luckily it lands on the wall of the burn bounces way up in the air rolls 3T to the right

Of the hole and I nearly jammed the birdie oh I had it just needed to hit it softer right before as well we’re still persisting with a three iron and this three iron is still persisting to go right the the big problem when you have lies like this all

Day is that you have absolutely no control of where the ball is going look at the distance I am from the hole that ball pitched at the hole and just went way past the hole because there was no spin on it the more you’re in the Payway

The more control you have over the spin and the direction of the ball that leads to a little three stab Areno and I’m three over not looking good I really came here trying to shoot an underpar round but you’re going to find that on a course like this which is

Rated very difficult you don’t even need to go under par to go under par and we’ll see that a bit later in the round I finally found a fairway and as you can see when you hit a fairway you can pick the correct Club you know the reaction of the ball from the

Ground we get to Hogan’s Hershey’s Highway over here and I just absolutely Pummel the brand new one iron like a big boss my Rangefinder was picking up about 305 to the hole here okay we still got 305 so we’re going to hit this one probably with a four iron toward the left

Side so I was not so concerned about hitting the green I just thought I’d hit a little four iron ski up the left side I know it funnels a bit toward the right I hit a perfect little bun shot down there from 305 with a 4 iron but little

Did I know I was picking up the background and I was actually more like 200 yd from the hole which means I hit a booming one iron off the te and I nearly take advantage and nearly make that damn Eagle so many close calls today Fly ball fly

Fly wow that’s pretty straight I did not see that oh now I’m feeling a sausage Raw coming oh too firm or not too much break not much happens over the last couple holes just standard parys nothing too exceptional but we get to the ninth hole and this is the hole that really can

Cause your booba jibbies and I hit a terrible t-shot trying to be fancy and I didn’t commit to it and I pull it into the left rough and I think from that crappy lie I’m just going to be able to get it out there run it up the Fairway

Little shoot down there get n and three and I’m putting for the par take a bogy not a bad score on this hole but instead I just chunk the hell out of that and now I’ve got a shot third shot from deep rough to a difficult green and I’ve

Stuck it in the bunker this is where the ground falls apart and I take a silly triple but what happens on the next hole is even more unforgivable after a triple you don’t want to do stupid things I saw I wanted to hit the ball up toward the bunkers on

The right and I was super committed to that with the driver but then as I was about to swing people playing the 11th hole just on the other side of the bunker started walking around those bunkers I wasn’t sure how far they were and yet I just continued hitting the

Shot I was distracted thinking I was going to hit it at them and Bam top the hell out of it halfway had the line no turn that’s a little double bogy next we’re on the 11th after a little halfway stop at kist you stop at the 10th hole have little hot dog because

The sausage rolls are absolutely disgusting dry like hell maybe one of the worst of the trip h m head go go go I get it onto the green and two and I just three stabed the hell out of it I mean I’m really disappointed now because

I don’t want to be plus eight after 11 holes at kti I came to kosi to actually score a score stay in the shot but we get to this hole and this is one of the first holes that actually increases the power of the course if you

Play this from the yellow te’s it’s a par four a hell of a long one the white is only 20 yards longer than the yellow and yet I’m playing a par five getting it on in two with ease and nearly holding another Eagle man I can’t buy a

Putt one thing we can say though is K’s greens are pure as pure can be onto the part three and I’m feeling like I’ve got a confidential shot yeah just set it up right let it hook in and I pull the hell out of it way long oh that’s so

Bad no idea what to do here i p a little Cameron Smith stick it on the green with a putter take the boo boos out of it and just get it right close there stick it in for the par like an absolute saage 476 yards this is also a par four from

The yts just a moderately shorter hole from the whites yet they take a whole one of the par so we’re playing a par four there a part five today I feel much more confidential with this than I did on that day I got to avoid those spectacle bunkers like hell they are so

Scary if you go in there just add a shot to your score you I’m happy there I’m happy there this little pit shot over here if I hit the sand wge I’m probably going to fluff it if I catch it okay I’m probably not going to stop it that well

I’m not going to be able to control the distance from this lie so instead I just hit a bump and Runner making sure to get it on the green even if I’ve got a 40-footer it’s cool I’m going to get it on the green to pky take a pass get

Outski oh no that’s too far left now sometimes you hit absolutely crap shots but when you’re in the depth of Despair as I was at seven overpow when I was really hoping to be like a couple over maybe even shooting around level p on this course it’s easy to give up but

Never give up even if you chip the ball onto the fr like an absolute amateur try get it in the cup what a par my biggest thing for this round was to just par the final three holes of KUSI I don’t care about anything else

Now plus s is gone the whole round is gone we’ve got three more holes let’s make pars hole 16 is the one I want to par and I just sliced a hell out of that I don’t know 50 yards right of the green but I think to myself M boom boom get it

Together make three pars if you can par this one you can par the next two but if you don’t par this one you’re not going to get three Pars in a row but I put it away like a bous 433 yard hole absolutely nuts what the hell

Am I going to do I’m going to split it up into 210 yard shots with my six iron why because the ground is dry it’s rolling I’m an absolute Legend with a six IR Tacomo thank you very much get it on the green and two like an

Absolute bowy get that bird dog out and tat my way to another par this got to be the hardest hole I’ve played on this entire trip 444 yards always into the breeze straight at the clubhouse I give that one IR as much body English as I

Can it hooks around a little bit and these two players from Scotland are the absolute legends that I played with over here with 228 yards left to go that I have no other option I came here to chew chewing gum and make paws on the final three

Holes of coni and I’m all out of chewing gum 228 yards got to carry that damn burn at I don’t know about 200 there’s nothing else to do but rip a four iron I know I’m going to pull it because I need more distance and I pull the hell out of

It almost onto the practice green I actually have to stick the camera onto the practice screen so I can putt the ball from the fence not my best part I do drop kick it a little bit but I have left myself I don’t know 15 16 ft for

The par to make the final three hole pars at KUSI which I duly do and a quick word from our sponsors yes well done man now you know me I love a barbecue I love some beef in the morning but most of all I love starting my day with coffeee but

What I realized is I drink so much coffee how can I make it better better and I saw Phil Mickelson talking a lot about coffee and I never understood what he meant about it changing his life so I did some investigation and I found that the company was for wellness now for

Wellness send you coffee they send you a mug but they also make these other little things like this and the the big one for me is the good stuff and I think this is the one that’s so life-changing inside here are things that I like to throw in especially something I got into

When I was in America which is to put collagen in my coffee good stuff you have hydrolyzed bow Vine collagen which I enjoy taking alanine which prolongs the effect of caffeine and then Himalayan pink salt is in here as well just for a little bit of electrolyte

Another thing I like while this coffee bruise and I like to have it with the coffee because I like the taste of something sweet with a little bit of coffee or these little gummies now these are cherry flavored which absolutely money now I’m not old old but it does

Help especially when you walk and play golf as much as I do with the impact with the ground and the walking on the knees and hips to have some collagen in your system have some good stuff and instead of having those caffeine crashes having that alanine that just keeps you

Sustained throughout the day absolutely love it sometimes I get a bit naughty and I I double dose stir that right up and The Breakfast of Champions is served follow the link in the description to get your good stuff and get that coffee working more for you than ever before I absolutely love it

Check it out Link in the description scan the QR I drove from Ki back down to St Andrew to play the castle course with J5 J5 played around here that put on the channel you can watch it at the link in the description or whatever and I’m not

Going to show you the whole round here I’m just going to show you that after Ki I shoot a 78 I have to take one off with the triple bogy I made on the ninth hole that gives me a differential of 2.3 we’re at a 1.3 handicap and I’ve got two

Rounds left what I have to do is shoot some low scores to bring the differential down but as you can see this is ho six and I’m just going over the highlights of this this is a beautiful hole with a beautiful view of St Andrews in the beach and it’s really

The only highlight I encountered while I played this C course because I played like an absolute dog going to plus six after six holes we get to Hole seven I bring out the Vice Pro Plus golf balls nice luminous green and I’m just trying to learn to hit the driver for the

Afternoon round at the Burnside course because I want to hit driver I want to score low like a Strokes gained extremist I’ve just dumped two into the ocean I’m doing really well here I’ve got a big bag of balls and J5 has a lot of patience he’s a very encouraging of

Me he doesn’t really mind he loves watching the agony and I rip one finally that stays in play and I’m on my way to playing the golf of my life this afternoon at the Burnside course we planted a little feather here we try grow a birdie doesn’t work we just kind

Of screwing around now onto the ninth hole and I’m plus n i mean I’m way over par I’m not even going to show you the whole round yet it’s just that tragic not even worth watching in the end I was plus 9 after nine holes at the castle

Course and I shoot an 85 leaving me a 9.5 differential but now because we have 19 scores we count seven of our last 19 scores which brings in another score from l l or Le which pushes the handicap up to 1.6 with only one round left to go

In order to get to scratch if we’re counting eight scores and we 1.6 over for the last seven we probably have to shoot something ridiculous like minus 10 to be able to be a scratch handicap so so if I can keep it around one and not

Go over two I’m going to be a happy boy I drive back from St Andrews to KI in the afternoon and I’m playing a late night tea time with Sam King at con Burnside and that’s it The Breakfast of Champions is served head over to the link in the description get yourself

Some of the good stuff from for wellness you’re going to feel a lot better you’re going to enjoy your coffee in the morning and when you take that first cup of coffee in the morning you know you’ve done something positive toward your health now Burnside is the course that

Ben Hogan qualified for the open at and we’re playing it because uh we’ve played all of Hogan’s courses that he played here in Scotland because we’re big fans of Hogan why I’m not sure why first hole at the Burnside course and we follow Hogan’s path and we top the hell out of

The ball not a Grady but a stady there a great 160 yard Top Shot that’s linkx golf man as long as it’s straight who cares imagine you top a shot and you get 140 in the flag on a par four beautiful I don’t have to imagine yeah I know

Okay yeah dude that’s so good I’ll take it off to that driver yeah I think so go on oh F I deserved that you dead deserve it well no you didn’t AB you actually did not deserve that we finished with a Pari and nothing wrong with that ski on

The second hole I pulled the hell out of that ball but I knew I was going to pull it I’m trying to hit the driver more in this final round in Scotland I know my bad shot is a left shot but I knew there was tons of space left but when you do

Go left the design of this course was very clever he makes you hit over a bunker from a flyer lie onto a green that’s just not going to stop the ball so I go way over the back and either chip it over this Dome or or put it and

Have to take the break I’m going to still put it though if I can settle this up to 4 or 5 ft I’m going to be very happy I’ve got 18 yards I hit the putter like an absolute boss I’ve become The linkx King and I put that bad boy away

To stay level P Yes Man lovely beautiful well done from 170 yards I’m feeling loose is my third round of the day I just stick that one on the green you know get on the green make some putts bang some you know what I’m saying we’re going to

Be in the pound seats 457 yd par for into the breeze and I’ve got the driver now I’ve decided the big problem is I’m trying to hit drawers with a fade bias driver with a terrible setup that’s almost like a hook setup that is just a

Recipe for disaster so I just think to myself hit a fade ski matky let that natural fade bias come out and I hit it to the right collar which leaves me only 174 y to the hole with not the best strike so that improves drastically oh boy too smooth Maddie you

Need to bring it around now on these pit shots it’s very difficult for me to get enough spin especially with a 56° from a tight lie onto a tight green but you know what they always say bird dog get in the Hole Bar no I don’t I just made it up and

That was terrible oh bro what that’s nice on a path three we’ve got a carry water here it’s uh water surrounding about 60% of the green mainly on the right side back and front I hit a puffy 9 it just poops straight into the air and I think it’s in the

Water but you know what Sam gives a little blow little gust and it’s on the green going for the bird key nope just Ducks left what the hell am I doing with my life I hit I hit hot oh you had to I think it’s rolling about eight yeah nice

Man 335 yards I’m growing in confidentiality with the driver and I think if I had hit this more online with the hole I would have had a maybe a 20 yard pitch but I’ve got a 50 yard pitch from the semi and it’s not stopping either but it just rolls past leaving me

A birsky psky the driver is definitely a weapon that I have been missing this whole trip come on dude lovely pot lovely pot try to get a little hooker going n just straight out that’s okay toward that yeah you know one of the nice things

About lyx golf is you get bad breaks you get good braks sometimes I have a bad break the putts don’t go in a little bump comes out of nowhere and then every now and then you hit a shot like this that goes left hits a slope bounces onto

The green and you think you’ve done something bad and you’ve got yourself a putt dude that in play yep went LIF same as me bunker is you think so oh boy going to take a pitching wedge keep it a bit open and cut it across so it runs but not out of control

Run okay that’s a little out of control yeah should I used a 52 or 48 pretty nice manine that’s oh my God got to get down there that’s so good money money br Dam I love that part of the shape of it so cool dude you know what’s so funny yeah

Just your your comment about the speed of the swing and the tempo fixes everything that was a great Swing Man 63 yard 63 yards and I think I’m going to hit a 56° and I think I can land it a bit short right yeah 100% oh I don’t like that I don’t like

That at all I think uh 52° chip over this hill cuz that that thing’s going to bounce yeah that’s better that thing’s going to bounce the hell off here sit down sit down it’s really good sit down p in here nice we got to good bro yeah oh boy go go go

Go go go go a little Yip did you see the Yip y terrible what a DI just snapped that’s insane holy holy should be go oh that’s so short turn the other way turn the other way my God that’s so good oh boy that’s way right that was just open oh my

God I can’t believe didn’t stop oh my did not turn oh that could be good got to get up didn’t catch all of it but you see the issue is I don’t have much stopping power on these chip shots the amount of finesse on need I’d

Rather putt it but I got too much rough to putt through this has to be really on the spot now you see you see that’s like impossible downhill right to left probably should have put it oh dived it’s gone a mile keep an eye on this

221 off this lie High Loft I still pull it a bit but I don’t think that much not a bad lie not a good lie if it clears these bunkers in front of me I’m going to be laughing which is the main concern but let’s give it a go it might

It’s initial flight might hit this Heather though so I might have to chop down on this maybe open the face a bit is it okay there just right at the green pin high right okay can can I play it yeah yeah exactly 50 50 Matt the human the human range finder 50 yards

We’re going to bump the eight up there and the reason I take eight is because when I hit a seven an iron bump I always get edgy and I and I I Yip it I feel like at can be aggressive with what do you reckon left and then right

Yeah I think so this is really this is really a sandwich it’s a tough one because you’ve got the the hell before the green and then it deps and it goes back up again it’s a 56° or 52° I think it’s a 52° sorry about the delay but I’m I’m

Going to get this close yep that’s the one come on 50 yards that’s so good man he’s painting pictures with his words oh yes come on that’s good stuff that’s so clean that’s long now I’ve missed my line completely can you see that part just for a sec oh

Bro I am absolutely tired now this is the final round of this trip and this is just an amazing trip I’ve played some of the best courses here in Scotland with some of the best people I must say the players have really come through with

Great venues for me to play at and I’m extremely grateful just a kid from South Africa from a blue collar background absolutely no business being in Scotland luckily I’ve changed to a Lithuanian and I’m now first welder living in the third world being a boss do it do it oh

Man and then we found one in the cup oh my Lord I learned something on that one mate try hit a fader I don’t hit drive with the whole trip and I stick it to 6 ft on the final hole I just think to myself you know MADD you got the driver

Down let’s take command let’s take control of this round and I take that bull by the horns and I just rip a beautiful drive the best of the whole trip and I finished this trip off with an absolute stinker of an eagle to go to
