What’s going on guys welcome back to the channel and the conclusion of our fourman scramble round for our back nine we are playing the kill deer course at Evans Prairie Country Club located in The Villages Florida continuing on from last week’s front n video I’m playing with Rick from the YouTube channel
Golfing The Villages be sure to check out his channel as well as my dingbat friends Matt and TK one thing I forgot to mention in the eager video Rick is working on a new swing going from a draw to a fade you’ll hear him talk through
Some swing stuff on this one he’s also using a brand new driver all right let’s see how we finish up coming off at two under 34 on the front nine all right folks back nine on to kill deer EV Prairie two under I Believe Bey perfect I think it’s all over the 150 yep peppered it I’m going just staying in the CL pretty straight raw huh over the yeah perfect yeah looks like it’s right down that basically where that first bird was all the way straight that’s what I had it hit that Good I thought saw it Splash in the no I thought I saw it Splash in the second bunker I lost it somewhere right I never saw it you’re either on that hill or in the second part of that bunker on the right okay yeah somewhere going right I saw that felt that yeah
Maybe that was a good call with the uh painted ball that one I see that’s just a hook though yeah it’s just hooking okay I’m ready with you TK heart golf I’m Hit N 157 oh no down came right down go ahead I think it would have been the
Roof anyways but yeah pal tree for the win was that a signature hle rocket go okay not the greatest of Lies obviously really isn’t a good lie anyway here I did the same thing trying to dig it out I like that anyways I like when it sits up oh there you go nice
Overdid it again but yeah it hard it’s going to be on I think pretty far pretty close Okay we see is it part four yeah part four I like that light brown spot out here roll it down left right rain’s going this way such a glorious up yeah if you send it out
There I think it’s fine right up a little higher yeah not terrible speed yeah we got to go a little further left to start yeah I like that better start line get in the hole than really good pot I shut down the face a little bit on that yeah you you started it
Better come on baby yes yes that’s it that’s it oh that was it though good roll all right R yeah we’re in yeah we’re in we scared it twice roll it in all right more Pace go yeah little more Pace okay there is water on the left so I don’t know if you can see that red yeah yeah and it’s tricky because if you’re you’re fine but you got to go over the treat you know it’s it’s just a trickier this is kind of a tricky hole Yeah now let’s get shot
Here yeah it’s turn it actually could be really good it’s right on the branch it was like right on the the hanging branch of the tree three really good line yeah really aggressive yeah we said there’s water left there is water left so left of that bunker there’s a red
Steak no I wiped across that one damn it that one go uh yard a neighbor’s yard no it’s not quite probably in that bunker but I just we need a uh I just can’t I can’t find the face we need a $5 Fairway right now we do need a
$5 actually TK’s ball I think is perfect is he I think he’s under the tree branch that’s got to hang Got a Hold I don’t know maybe maybe going from a draw to a hook really good really good wow I don’t know look really good did it go long left go ahead
196 yeah with the with the slope it’s slightly up the hills like 192 plays like 196 one’s a bit to our back it’s really good it’s right at it okay you’re on front side what you what’ you hit TK you hit five I’m going five that’s usually my
200 Club I don’t trust I can get a five I’m going to have four well not finding it D it keep coming it’s not going to be good okay damn it I got to get my swing worked out you’re shipping it yeah well left or right
Yeah not too bad you landed on the line but yeah kind of at the flag my yeah and even body I my body yeah you’re right that was more toward the left which is good it breaks a good amount I think we need it moves a
Lot yeah you can almost even go with the tripod I we need to be like out here yeah it’s going to move a lot yes much better good speed though yeah yeah I’m going to try to really go left of it because there’s a lot of movement slow down no too much
Pace need that line with your pace there you go good was this a five no part four yes we are one two three four right I think so I heard something make a house call might have yard yard come on see if I can find it with this driver I can’t find it
Save us hle rocket oh they probably have plexiglass over their Windows well you know to be honest probably really not too many people play that there yes get over that tree I mean it’s it should be I think so there’s another tree back there but whatever it’s in play yeah
Yeah all right TK cender off whopping 230 on that One I mean you got it in play I know that you see the flag on the right side of the Trap yeah okay kind of weird because you got to hit it kind of high over this hill right oh uh 0 they’re 90% oh you’re in the middle of the Fairway
Nice that kicked about 30 yards right 90% air you got it spyy I’m try to hit a hook no tried to hit a big hook you’ll find it yeah I think I’m going to go back to hitting draw man you’ll find your swing yeah I think I’m going to go back to
Hitting draw on the team okay high right yeah swiped across it think it covered that bucker it’s on that palm tree that kind of last palm tree before the oak probably should just hit four iron TK’s in the middle of the Fairway though and it’s a part five yeah I think uh the
Te’s creeping in for us boys Yeah the same yeah yeah not a great the greatest line in the world but it’s a lot closer yeah it is closer I mean we’re only hitting three into a part five so TK just drills me get down oh yeah good shot oh yeah 115 115 in the pin
Yeah okay got to go 115 to the pin is what I got choke down too much on that is it a little flatter down here yeah that’s what I told TK to do but he just put it right next to the pin so I figured i’ go after him like below
Your feet pretty hard go yeah it’s got to go go go short it’s below my feet go there wasn’t a good lie there this is kind of a questionable decision but a lot closer could have maybe gone that way oh that’s going to get down yeah sit down oh straight into the
Bush wow that very far that was a rocket yeah good shot DK not much in it slightly down the hill yeah W it actually came back but I I don’t know if that was because there was a little cut stroke he hammered it
But I like it I like it oh that breaks a good amount huh yeah it moves go all right we’re in for par yeah I’ll take one more I think it is I think it is I think it is left right at the end I have no
Idea where my cter face is right now that was more at the flag but you start you started it like you pulled it a touch but it was good because that was where it needed to go and you actually were a little open with your feet which was different it’s
Fine break see that’s where you started it good movement okay good putt really good suuck that in the back door yeah we’re good for we’re in for car all right Ricky boy okay I’ve had some good looks at it now so no excuses Oh I thought that was going in
It took a couple bumps over here huh yeah it was rolling nice though for a long time all right it rolled really straight 192 pin yeah where you going me too I think choke down a little thanks for putting up with us oh no thank you for it was great for me
Because I I get to work on my new swing on the course and not worry about it so for me it’s perfect I’m still struggling with ball position and everything Beauty okay you’re kind of in that just pass that drop zom son I don’t know how
I feel about that as soon as I hear contact TK says whoo it was more of a good wo sounded great look good all right I got to find find my arc here better strike to see too much just too much movement I I don’t like I I
Just don’t like that that’s why I went to the draw not sure yeah was really good really no was short R hit me and TK got the pig skin out before all right chipper meu right to left it’ll go right to left at the end
Go go go good shot okay I like his force a lot yeah too much all right I’ve been working this aspect of my game at La so see if I can get this going go now a little more carry that’s what serial told me be more aggressive into the turf
So that’s why I was struggling you know with the shallow shot and rough like this being too shallow I wasn’t aggressive enough and I’d really fluff a lot there’s only three horrendous shots no go yeah into the grain little right to left up the hill a
Touch it’ll it’ll go left just trust it right to left up the hill see it’s turning turning there it is perfect perfect that thing it’s hot right now you might be taking that putter home telling the story this is the whole where I hit the flag stick I made the
Bogey five oh really I was I was in the water off the tea Dr dropping two here hitting three middle of Fairway 103 flag stick and then tap in for boie we could use a little of that magic right now Yeah that is hammered hang on hang on not sure didn’t see it come down yeah It’s Tricky there CU it’s the fun is all you hit that good though see like the 150s over there like you can technically kind of hit over that direction but this tree oh way over
There huh yeah and then going back but I kind of like start at the red sticks and bring it back yeah like that Shack and then you really want to draw it back hard you know it’s like it’s fine it can go back yeah that should be great should be
Great oh that could be nine hang on hang on see it’s really deceptive because it gets real tight there does he have that group of three red sticks yeah I think so back down to eight I think I got to try to hit a draw here can’t I can’t mess with the stade
Right now nope that’s in trouble so terrible all right now I’m all over the place that’s how we play golf right oh gosh it’s like I I never used to have fear like it would either be my ball would go left or straight that like it
Was it well now you’re trying to work on one versus the other you probably almost got a yeah now I’m trying to like do a new shot shape and then just not working for me I didn’t that’s great I didn’t want to practice I just wanted to get on the
Course and just start hitting shots you know I like it better thanks yeah perfect I can’t see those down anymore back down to 8K 116 to the middle Rick will shoot it 121 pin 119 playing 121 keep going for my club keep keep grabbing him get up there oh you’re dancing
Yep now you’re on back up to nine possibly no it’s kind of low oh bad balce you’re on though yeah came out low sand [Laughter] bony oh yeah keep coming bounce right oh you hit it I think a nice thud yeah that’s going to go he right at it
Though just short there all right okay I’m might to take it’s okay if I take flag out on this one I feel like it’s in the way I know I was so uncomfortable for like four holes that’s the one thing about courses around here compared to
Back home you can just like jump into the woods anywhere you can’t really do that here going to be kind of with the grain going to slide a little bit too good for your home yeah I think it’s right to left a little don’t hit me with that that pinky
I kind of like that Sandy spot behind the cup on the right you know if you start it there it’ll fall I love it yeah come on baby yes okay it did not turn at the end and that was a pretty straight putt I going to shut down my
Stance a little bit on this one RI I was I’m opening up too much that was a really good putt it didn’t move yeah yeah your face is pointed almost at his foot face of the putter you’re actually closed is that what you’re trying to be
Closed hit it out of I keep doing that that’s what I keep trying to I think the putt actually goes left to right um now that I’ve seen it I’m all my head with this putter way too much P though we’re we’re in right somebody tapped in
Yeah this is going to be a pain to edit but it’s going to be a fun one to do be fun to watch back you can go if you’re ready yep I am I’m going to get my glove on and all right come on I know it’s a new swing thought but
You can do it not that difficult all right just neutralize little gouy all right oh yeah thanks good shot thank you thank you I’m going n TK no too much draw again straining out a little bit though yeah good shot thanks it was was 167 to the center 161 to the pin 161
TK but you don’t want to be much shorter than that 161 I hit a nine that is your minimum no that was actually I think I’m a little long left hang on for dear life no bye AA just covered the bunker yeah side difference between what you’re trying to
Do and what you used yeah I think I’d getting too open cuz he was saying I was getting too closed right you get swipy well so I was aiming too far over and then my hand action wasn’t good enough to like turn the ball over so I
Hit those I hit kind of strong pushes to the right so he’s trying to get me to open up more but now that I open up more it changed the bottom of my arc and I’m hitting him fat a little bit the contact I get some I have to find the Bottom now
I just want to be a little more neutral shorten up on the back swing and I think it’ll just happen naturally that’s my theory after working on it we figure it out you play golf yeah it’s it’s just a it’s a different sensation for sure but what’s scary is with the driver and
Stuff perfect a that’s a good good read little left to right you mind I don’t know we think we should take the pin out because it’s going to come in on that side and the pin’s Leaning I’m just saying like there’s everything is just pushing it
Right yeah I didn’t get to look at your setup but yeah got a long night of putting green practice perfect let’s go bird that was the one well done boy than pick up the team re under yeah the pin is though up kind of he’s
Kind of right it’s kind of up and to the right so right at that house with yeah if you’re left you get a better angle back this could be one if you’re at one of the forward te you could run out of Fairway yeah so I hit from the wife I
Hit five iron over the bunker perfect and I have like a 112 in or whatever 11 15 in what’s your longest iron you like to hit four okay I do I wonder if you want to hit steel shaft it’s it’s a 130x flex you want to try it got a midsize
Plus4 grip but you should be able to swing that you that good you could probably get 240 250 out of it yeah when I was swinging good I could good leaking leaking right Le right probably going to catch part of the bunker but I think to the right of the bunker
Maybe is that the 790 yeah that’s thei yeah yeah I love those things back home it’s all right try it again I’m going to try pretty good yeah perfect great ball thanks definitely not hitting bad I’m still not catch I was high in the face and kind of toally yeah
Frustrating so close from being really good that one was High I mean been all over I’ve been hit him heel side low high all right I want to be neutral I’m just going to go neutral neutral hands a little bit better hit it good yeah coming back too yeah should be just
Left to that 150 yep y good jot thanks might be taking that I don’t know well I think yours went further i’ been dealing with a back issue lately oh my like right time to huh right shoulder blade yeah someone stabbing me in the back 174 you’re
Hitting in mats all the time right how do you pop it it just feels like I need to pop it to release it what’ you say Rick 174 pen I got yeah same let me see that uh I just want to clean it the seven would be short for me I don’t know
Where the flag is let’s see seven or six 174 this is number seven yeah position three it’s right in the middle according to this and it funnels from the back so if you go a little long it comes back to the pen 174 we kind of dug it out but right side
Of the green maybe uh bunker thought you went in it just brush it it was 251 feel I caught that in the center of the face it would go yeah moving start out nice oh yeah it’s just not it’s not enough and it’s moving too much you’re
Over no I’m short short of the bunker yeah go it’s not hitting it well oh oh boy I swiped across it yeah same same but different all right so we’re one two we’re hitting three we put this post get T and far out of this go that’ll
Work yeah I didn’t I didn’t get it up to the right level thanks I don’t hate our chances with four shots from there all right go yeah oh boy wow we’re all in the same spot give it a little extra little into the grain okay the
There’s some grain so it’s going to grab the ball okay play what you see almost see the line there’s like a previous ball Not enough Pace more Pace I’m seeing like two balls right yeah there it’s like I’m kind of this Mark here if you if you aim here and you know match the pace that should just trickle right in firm through the brake yep through the brake yeah I mean to me that putter is
Just like pointed oh Jesus I might just not put in again oh I couldn’t get the pace right someone knock it in sad didn’t get the pace right either God good finish oh did we B not a little embarrassing with four shots that we go to Bogey
But how about it this is a tough hole last hole is definitely a birdie hole but this one I don’t know got to be careful oh so it’s up we’re going that way yeah so we’re going that way where they’re walking off but you see how
There’s that rough area yeah to the left of the treee that’s where it pinches and then there’s water all right sounded good yeah you hooked it it it might it might be in the bunker or something there yeah yes 20% is good nice and positive TK I like that but p
Head yeah that should be good uhoh that shot count is going up one Z I got I got stuck I didn’t move it’s hooking but yeah I don’t know I think it’s going to be close further I aim right the further it goes left go figure Yep this is utk 255
2 The Ram Ram 1500 whoa that is money that looks really good that is money perfect oh wow really good are you on the green or just a little bit short either way I think he’s on this is a five yeah this is part part five take that what’s your
Shot oh no oh it’s in the it’s in the real bad stuff Gator territory it’s stand corrected TK no 57 worth it big dog yeah rocket yeah I mean Matt’s really good so I might as well go for it got to go for it you got to make a swing 247 right here
Yep hook Central okay short of I think safe and sound well good job point I might take a slice so it’s going to move severely no I’m in the I’m in Gator Land you going to fly it most of the way is that what you’re thinking what do you have for wedges
Matt 62 and 60 of 6 10 I got a little mine iron H hit it oh you gave it a great run yeah it was a little thin oh darn not bad funnel left come down now sit not bad yeah I’m going go get my putter I’m trying to land it just right
At that green circle yeah I think it’ll run down Probably okay that’s good in the hall good good ship that’s a big old uh Gully right there not today t okay it’s going to move a lot at the end you going for the pound oh absolutely yeah I think it’s going it’s going to move a lot at the end
Right no not enough Pace P for that tap it in more pce I’m literally slicing my putter yeah crazy how mental some of that stuff is it’s so easy right just a little ball you’re going to roll it 8T maybe with authority too much Pace oh we got all bring back
Yeah go let’s go there we go my man it’s something there go there we go biger tra trace it back and call it a day and it seems fine so the hole goes you can see a flag over the bunkers the 150 Straight Ahead that’s 242 I think I just lazed it yeah
So between that and in the shack in the big House look at this it shows me the layout but it’s just de water all the way all right I got to find something with this driver you in playmat yes all right better that’s hammered great swing that’s right down the middle little baby cutting back yeah great
Swing you just need to drop a couple putts get you back in the game well I just got to like yeah it’s feeling my setup with this I got to feel it I’m going to open this one up a little bit oh Jesus oh wow that came off really
Weird that was like a knuckle hook did you see that that was a good shot wow that was weird he’s been so automatic today with pretty cool I got 141 on my Garmin yeah it says I I brought a range finder too I bought one and I I haven’t
Even used it because of this thing has the slope on it too not that much left I think I can do get pitching weder I’m going choke down nine yeah okay I think I don’t feel any wind at all fade okay might be whole High actually yeah you’re probably pin High just left
You’re either on the if I don’t know if the green bumps out that way or not 142 142 no I lost it right dug it out a little bit try I was trying to feel like my hands got a little more forward and I just left the face open TK can give you
A lesson on that yeah trying to feel something different but it’s not there too much it’s going to be good no oh is it long yes oh probably should hit the pitch wi was a choke down nine we have anything on or no maybe well might be on we might have one
On Nice Shot you oh I like that that could be good get up there oh just short sand boy I’m not sure like when you go to the adult only pools in the neighborhood um if you’re in the pool they don’t ask for your Village’s ID
What do you do when you have a guest pass I guess you cuz you’re here I think that’s the whole point of it though right you just show the guest pass I guess so so yeah I guess the guest passenger ID if you’re in the pool they won’t ask you though if
You’re out of the pool they’ll ask you especially if you look young it’s like a reverse age discrimination here where I get all the time like you’re too young to be here in a we were throwing the football in the we were throwing the football in the front yard before we
Came and a lady was walking she goes it’s so good to see young people doing something act active or whatever she said yeah getting some brownie points be there oh yeah saying we were like a bunch of unicorns out there yeah you people throwing a football we’ve been
Drinking from the Fountain of use lately that’s right we found it pontio and okay it’s gonna what it’s going to be pretty hard yeah are you at the tripod yeah I like that I like it stay up stay up good speed that breaks a
Lot I’ll tap it goe TK I think we got to be like a foot or more to the left right yeah I think I mean if you line up on the if you yeah if you line up on the tripod pole and like that’s your start
Line M it’s going to move back to the pin I even think yeah that left that left foot yeah you got to go pretty far left TK trust it especially with that you like to die it so your speed play more break good speed there like the Wow have to be really
Yeah I can’t tell like how do you feel like you’re hitting I like we’re in for par pretty much you feel like you’re hitting it pretty hard yeah I mean Rick I think we need to be almost like out here yeah it breaks a lot with that much
