Coach lemon I’m back and I break par on nine holes it’s late in the fall not many rounds left before it gets cold let’s see what we can do let’s go FP worked definitely not the best swing on the first hole I was off balance slipped
Almost fell uh still we’ve got 54 yards left I’m still going to hit my 60° lob wedge and see if I can get right on the middle of the green bounce a little bit all right decent shot in I’ve got 18 feet left for birdie a little right to
Left too high good put though all right pretty good putt easy to putt par uh we got a par three here it’s playing about 110 I’m going to hit my 52 degree gap wedge be right be right oh great shot oh easy easy on the spin had a good shot in
Uh my ball marker’s there though when I spun it all the way back off the green so I’ll be chipping up this about 25 footer way too hard way too hard and I’ve got eight feet left down the hill or bar yes all right huge bar let’s go
Great putt even par through two holes uh this Par Four I’ve had trouble with I’ve been looking at my past scores and thinking about how I’ve gotten into trouble in this hole and it should be a pretty simple Par Four I mean there’s trouble on the left uh you can also get
Trouble way on the right so I’m going to change my strategy and I’m going to hit a Hybrid off the te because really this should be just a par hole and so I’m going to lay back a little bit and get myself a little better chance for par that’ll work
Yeah not the best t- shot again I’m trying to lay back and I guess I’m used to hitting a driver up when I’ve got like a little wedge in but um I’ve got like 160 left be hitting seven iron into this green again I wanted to take the
Trouble out of play and I’ve got a wide openen shot so let’s get this up on the green and uh get out of here with the bar go right just a little bit go right just a little bit go right just a little bit oh okay all right middle of the green but
I’ve left with this tricky 30f footer downhill and it gets really fast once it gets near the hole look how fast that is it just rolls and roll go baby come on wow I didn’t think I could have left it short we got four feet left for par
Uh definitely a tricky one though and it’s lightning fast boom all right well my conservative play paid off there with a pretty easy par I mean it was two tough putts but uh I made it for par onto the next hole this is a short Par Four I’m going to
Hit driver and I should be able to get close to the green I’d really like to be on the green and uh putting for Eagle so let’s see how close we can get should be right all right turned out to be a great drive I’m even with the
Pin little chip got I’ve actually got a lot of green to work with pens on the other side with the ball down here slightly and it’s on the edge and there’s also kind of a little Ridge that it goes down to so I’m going to chip
This up with about a 56 degree way to see if I can roll it just slightly down that Hill towards the bin oh get down the hill Oh no so we’ve got a about 12T left for par almost good putt good putt from up there very tough down the
Hill well that’s a bummer three putt I feel like um the greens keeper out here working on the greens I feel like he rolled the other three greens I’ve puted and that one was just super slow uh but it started with a port Chip Shot so it’s
What it is one over through four holes we got a par five here and again like I did on the second hole I’m t or the third hole I’m taking a little bit more conservative approach I actually measured some stuff out uh and you can kind of see it on this overhead Google
Earth view I noticed that the margin for error when I hit driver is Tiny I mean from the one tree to the out of bounds is is 50 yards and it’s like if I hit a perfect drive I’m probably 25 yards from out of bounds and if I’m just a
Little bit to the right I can’t really get to the green anyways and so I’m going to just hit a Hybrid my four hybrid layb and make this a three shot par five and the plan is to take the out of bounds two-stroke penalty off the T
Completely out of play and see if we can maybe make Birdie the oldfashioned way oh Johnny well my ultra conservative play off the te kind of got myself in trouble definitely not anywhere near out of bounds but we’re kind of stuck over here um I’ve got to the right a tree trouble
Uh if I hit driver sometimes I’m over this green I go that way um I can’t do that so I’m just going to play the conservative punch a little four iron back out in the Fairway and give myself a chance for my third shot put the low part down sit down a
Little bit sit down a little bit all right once I turn from the uh pan to the fire uh yeah so I don’t have the best layup I had it tough getting under the tree and I’m way back here uh down here basically no shot I just kind of got a
Punch out and I’m going to try to hook one a little bit and see if I can get up near the green and get myself a chance for up and down for bar 69 yard s uh I’ve got to go up over this tree going to hit my lob wedge
Trees is actually not really in the way uh I mean visually of course but up over the tree and see how close we can get give ourselves a chance for par all right good shot got about 20 feet left for PA serious I don’t think that’s ideally how I was
Supposed to conservatively play that par five I think hitting driver might have been better again I mean I took I took double bogey out of play I took a bogey I had two trouble shots and I did okay with them so it’s just kind of it is
What it is all right so par three this one’s about 150 I like to hit eight iron and see how close we can go and is today the day that we get a home one let’s see oh fan it big time Dad gone it definitely not a very good shot in
With my eight iron push it out to the right so I’m going to show you this Chip Shot on this hole there’s a hill behind it and when I’m chipping back into this like chipping up to the hill it’s very very hard to get it to stop close to the
Hole so what I end up doing is I hit my Chip Shot so that it hits the back of the hill and rolls down and I’m going to set the camera up so you guys can see that didn’t quite come off the hill I
Wanted the way I wanted it to 9 ft left for par Bounce That Way dang it well shoot not ideal but uh we move forward we’re three over with three to play uh this is a short Par Four I hit for hybrid kick right a little
Bit all right that’ll work hit a good shot down left side of the Fairway we’ve got the ball here under some leaves you know not necessarily my favorite shot but I need to get it up over this tree and I figure even if I hit it too hard
It’s not going to go too far past it should be just up on the middle of the green that might be pretty good a little short just a little short ball here a little short it’s going to chip up got about about 20 feet come on come on come on come
On close close close close almost great chip take an easy par well that was definitely much more fun actually uh three good shots on that hole and it’s probably the first three good shots I’ve had since I played the fourth hole so that’s always nice to hit good shots easy par all
Right Par Four uh I can get there with driver and I’m going to yes I’m going to get there to the green with driver and I have a putt for Eagle at least that’s the plan o I don’t know see if I got past that
Tree ended up in a pretty good spot when I drive I did hit this tree so it slowed it down was actually on a pretty good line towards the green but uh we’re back here about 43 yards out I’m going to hit 56° wedge and try to bounce one up onto
The green actually Bounce It On The Green into the hole bounce in the hole or that sit down son of a gun took me a while to find the ball in the leaves but it’s right there just kind of up the hill here over to the pin sh tough
Lie tough lie good shot you couldn’t really tell on the camera but that was a really really tough lie with the grass lying into me and a bunch of leaves around so this was actually a really good Chip Shot to get it to the six feet that I’ve got left for
Par all right great par well not birdies coming in on the last two but a couple of nice scrambling pars couple good putts um I got no complaints so on this par five I have had a tendency to hit it out of bounds just a little bit in fact
Uh I played a couple days ago I hit my t- shot out of bounds which is two strokes then I hit my third shot in the middle of Fairway hit a nice six iron to six feet and made a par which would be like a net Eagle so we’re not doing that
Today because we’re going to hit this straight I did realize that I have a tendency to aim a little bit more to the right on this hole and it kind of cuts the corner off it also brings out bounds and play and we’re going to go back to
One of my original lines and I’m going to go for the one orange tree in the middle and we will uh basically completely eliminate cuz we’re playing conservatively today we’re going to eliminate out of bounds completely on this one still trying to cut the corner aren’t
I all right good shot I aimed there instead of what I’ve been aiming is there and that basically was the only reason that kept this ball in bounds definitely had a very poor t shot but again I aimed far enough to the left that gave myself a chance and didn’t go
Out of bounds and so I didn’t blow two strokes uh I’ve got this line here uh it’s like I’ve got to punch out there’s nothing I can do I got these trees all over the place we’re punching out um that tree over there across the Fairway
Is 100 yards so I need to hit this about 80 yards and just take my medicine sit down all right should be fine so this is a good lesson on how not to lay up balls down here and I hit it just far enough that I’ve got these trees in my way and
I’ve got to hit a low shot I’ve heard this before and I didn’t do a good job of it today but I’ve heard like if you’re going to lay up just lay up I mean did it really matter that I was like another 10 yards over here I mean
Now I put myself in a bad spot it’s pretty good shot pretty good shot I if it hit the green or not but probably bounced over good punch shot definitely kept it low under the trees um caught part of the green just rolled over the back down in here we got the
Pin up there down here up there and I’m just going to hit a little 56 degree wedge to uh flop it up and hopefully it goes in the hole all right chip that a little far past the hole we got eight feet left four par finish this up and shoot
39 goes that way goes that way how does it go that way well there you go kind of a disappointing nine holes did not break par shot 44 over okay wondered if some of my conservative Play Led to that although I feel like I just wasn’t
Hitting it that great and if I didn’t play conservatively uh basically what I did is I feel like I turned a 42 maybe a 43 into a 40 and gave myself a chance for 39 last P so I’m happy with the round um let me know what you guys think about
Playing conservatively like subscribe comment below on what you’d like to see on the channel thanks guys have a great day cheers let’s see if maybe we can make a couple birdies coming in the coming in on the down on the down stretch coming in on the stretch I mean does a bre By
