Hello and welcome to another episode of Drummond golf TV today we are at long Reef golf club uh not far from Manley not far from the city of Sydney it’s a beautiful course and we got another challenge two balls scramble myself and Nathan barberia trying to go low we’re
Trying to beat 30 the par 36 for nine holes now know you’ve been over in the states for quite a while you’re back in Australia you’re on the Australian PGA Tua what’s the plans for you over the next few months um actually I’m going to
Go up the up north uh in next week on Wednesday and play some proam get back into the competitive mindset and then I’ll start the Aussie season then maybe go back over towards the end of the year do corn fa tour school and then see what happens okay so we’re starting on the
Ninth hle we’re playing 9 through to 17 barbs because the 18’s out of play Craig Perry’s putting in some new bunkers on the course I’m going to te off first obviously here we’re on the first hle 438 m par five and you’re off plus five is that right yeah that’s correct yeah
So H try and get us on the planet somewhere and then you can attack from there sounds good all right let’s still well a little bit left pressure’s on a little early here that’ll do 300 straight down the middle let’s go all right so mine was in play with a
Little a little left uh yours straight down the middle we got 143 into the first hole here par five we want to give ourselves a chance we need yeah Eagle good start’s always key so inside about 10 or 12 ft yeah oh that’s not good that’s not good oh no it
Hold it I think it’s just off the left just short left I think not the ideal start it’s all right we’re Ching in I’ll try and get us close enough to just get the birdie and then you can attack that’s the that’s the goal all right sit sit sit just smashed smash
It’s pretty bad it’s pretty bad pretty bad not bad but it’s quicker than we thought it this is for birdie what have we got this still bars depends on speed you hit I think maybe just outside right okay confident PT mate oh you don’t want
This partt do you no I want it give it to me there’s a par the P’s in all on you bar that’s not going to do 30 is it if we don’t no it’s not I think we need a birdie here to break 30 or else we got a
Long eight holes ahead of this oh nice save Good Start Good Start needed it we needed that birdie all right let’s go one under through one not a not a confident start this will probably be our biggest challenge it’s the 10th hole 195 uphill uphill down wind if we if we
Par this we’re happy aren’t we yeah we still got to give ourselves a chance I think but yeah a good I love your optimism let’s do it I have no idea I can’t see well the in I think it’s a little left it’s on a good line it’s got to go
A little bit I think okay so 195 M PA three I was just short left over there barbs are short but obviously in a much better position because it’s freezing and I haven’t been playing much I’m going to putt this I’d love the chib it but I don’t want to embarrass myself
Anymore at the moment if I can get us inside 3 or 4 ft here that’s the goal sit down ham it that was a lot quicker than I thought go I just ched it we got another tester we got another tester here 30 looking good we got it we
Can’t lose that shot we made up on the first straight away pretty similar part to the last bit uphill oh W oh yeah straight in the middle again you’re on son you’re on we needed it okay we’re on our third hole here in the two ball scramble at long Reef we’re
One under through two it’s been a struggle you’ve hel held two parts what’s the lowest score you’ve had over 18 and nine holes uh nine holes was seven under 29 which is at the same tournament I shot 61 at rosebar TPS so so that was in a tournament too yeah
Second Pro event which is awesome so off to a good start can you lift your game in trying my hard I need can you do it here or it’s just in tournaments you do it but I’m Shake man so we got to un leash here
Right oh wow smashed it it’s gone a long way but again it’s left just playing the tenth hole again nice shot that should be good good drive here Bobs 855 short par 4 I just want to get it somewhere go hard kick forward that’s a bit
Short oh go left get left a little bit it’s been yeah good shot it Jesus spun it it trying to be too under through three we need some momentum Bobs surely do it do it yes let’s go mate let’s go two under through three we’re back i’ almost give you that but
You know it’s almost your hole the pings where it matters the first shot that’s the first first we’ve taken it’s only taking three you got to start somewhere I’m a loser this is our fourth hole it’s 348 m a short Par Four you can’t go left which
Is where I’ve been every hole so far so I’m going to aim it out the right here Bobs Big hook for a draw or a hook draw or a hook which one we’ll find out we’ll find out we’ll find out better two under through three let’s make it three under through four shot
Yeah looks good that’s fine again we’re pretty similar here actually we both H driver off the two I’ve just picked mine up from over there you’re about 10 m closer 60 M shot wind behind our backs greens are soft you greens are soft straight on the number I reckon it’s not
Very far is it pretty slopy green but from front to back so come the left beenin that could be good this could be good beenin all right we got a chance outside you can get inside that one’s about 15 ft may be a nice little hole out and do
It good line spin oh Dam oh a little long we need to keep this going here this is a tricky one stay up stay up stay up oh yes so we’re three under through four beautiful let’s go Bob we’re on here son we are on it’s only a short hole but a small
Target and it’s windy it’s back into the wind now uh here at long Reef how how are you going to play this bars I might take a little bit more club and sort of knock it down a bit sort of off the right as well so it’s going to get going
Left pretty soon so okay it’s about 116 M and probably about 120 shot I reckon 120 shot what club you going to hit I’m going hit wedge all right I’m going to go with the wedge as well all right let’s see how we go oh nice strike wind Tak oh the wind’s
Got it go go good distance the distance was good just a little left that’s pretty that’s pretty come on baby bre the stick it’s long shot little long but that was a pure swing I ended up pin high but just left Edge and Barbs probably deserve better
With yours over the pin but we’ve got what 20 ft maybe a bit further we just hold one on the last do it again it’s pretty similar it’s probably just as it’s quicker and it’s a little bit right to left again oh a bit left Ste was better yeah
Just wanted to get the PA for us you know right smashed it yep for us hackers solid path 3 under3 five so we still got a bit of work to do I think we’ only got one part five left but so really we’ve got three long par
Falls into the wind coming home so we got to try and birdie one of these tough ones maybe Eagle on the P five next that’s what we need but this is down hill but into the wind plane a long way so we need a good drive got the L mate yeah they’re all
Coming off all right but another over there could be a good angle back right pin this the consistency the flusher that’s what they call it hold of it it’s perfect 146 brace over there looking for his ball H long shot in but we need to pick up the pace want to shoot
30 oh hold if that is the right Club it’s on the right line oh he sure but that was pure good shot mate that was very nice the index one today this yeah he’s playing hard you couldn’t get two better shots than what you have
I think we need this to to get to that 30 mark this needs to go in chance straight at the end so straight probably a bit too hard but go go go it does it goes the other way at the end solid par tough hole Yeah
We need 30 I don’t know we’re in some Trouble There we go just get a little kick off that M I think it flew it of course it did I kind of want to give you the drive but I also want to let please don’t leave anything in the tank that’s about 30 past mine straight down the
Middle that was pretty that was pretty okay what are we going to hit n I got nine yeah all right it let it feed in on there a bit right okay let’s see what we can do oh yeah we struck it nice just hold a
Little bit it looks good it’s got to be good oh has the oh man it’s gone too long I was worried about I could hit a better shot that was awesome one B straight in the long stop go a little bit go a little bit that’s the one should be good all
Right we got a chance here let’s go Bobs legal Time come on come on baby come on come on good we’re back baby we’re back in the ball game here we’re back Barbed five under two to play one more birdie we get to 30 two
Birdies coming in we get to 29 but it’s playing difficult two long holes to finish 400 m off the blues into the wind we’re going to do something specially don’t we Bobs yeah we definitely do we’ll see what happens yeah it’s possible very possible let’s go 29 would
Be nice te this a bit lower here and I’m going to play right or left oh yeah that’s going to be running oh oh you you are human getting cold again I’m getting cold again so we’re 174 out here severe downhill but into the wind so it probably plays around maybe the
Number a little bit more cuz it’s cold a little bit more than 174 oh good strike very good very good I could not hit a better shot he’s turned into a professional golf for the last couple shots so it’s gone long if anyone didn’t pick up on that get
Left that’s not ideal all right third shot we got to get this up and down just get on the green let it roll the hole I think that’s good SP yeah not too bad a spun go go not bad better better than mine we
Got a part this is for part gives us a chance down the last to shoot 30 fa t ending yeah Sol there’s the par Sol is Rock there so it’s the finale we’re on the final hole we are five under through eight holes we want to try and hit that
30 Mark so we got to try and birdy this we got nearly 400 again wind off the left into off the ocean OB left our toughest challenge to finish but I reckon we’re up for it that’s that’s on the beach that is on the beach it’s it’s all up to you it is
All up to you oh no no pressure oh hold just hold a little bit just a little bit just stayed in just stayed in we’re in we’re in the ball game here we’re in the ball game go come back a little bit no it’s coming out soft too yeah
We’re here for two just short of the green we got to chip this in for 30 so we’re still a slight chance how you going to play it a little low I reckon it’s a bit of a tear you got to go up so it’s going to be a tough shot what club
You got I got Sandy all right I got the same club I’m going to try and play the same shot I don’t think it will probably pan out that way but we’ll give it a crack up and down for 31 two chances sink it for 30 all right let’s do it
Good didn’t spin on it lovely not bad that’s better that’s good go go go a shot so we didn’t get that 30 bars I’m pretty confident we can lock in the 31 two ball scramble we tried you try you want me to do Tri you can finish this off this for a
31 long re Golf Club what a spot what a day there it is two ball scramble Nathan barberi bre a 31 thanks for the day I’ve heard the golf club has the perfect view for quiet beer and something eat let’s go check it out sounds good what you Bobs
