First off I chose to not play it and there there’s a lot of reasons why I don’t know if I should explain the real reason 50 bucks for every stroke oh my God brat Twin Creeks today stroke play 18 holes two parts 9 and N good luck thank

You appreciate it the goal is to shoot as low as possible obviously call to break 65 or whatever let me know if you guys like this but I want the channel to turn a little bit more into stroke play cuz stroke play is where you actually gather and realize your skill in the

Game of golf I am in agreement with that the scrambles are fun we’ll still do all that stuff we’ll still do match play every once in a while with the D1 series but overall I just want to see what I’m shooting cuz the last two years I

Haven’t really done that too much par four hold number one that was good well hey you know we’ll find it you know that’s the beauty about Twin Creeks you can hit it just about anywhere on this his first toll and you’re going to be just fine that felt so tight it’s just a

Little wedge in from over there I’m hitting driver as hard as I can I saw a picture of myself two days ago with that a hat on there’s a big ass line right here white and red so that’s why I’m going hatas the next month or

So it’s fine that was Hammer too that was Hammer cocked good ball well our balls are about 90 yards apart yeah 90° rule thankfully we’re not fully on the path I don’t know where my ball is I didn’t even see land and it’s going to be tough with all the range balls but

Thankfully we got the yellow balls today how’s your game feeling you practiced yesterday were you swinging it well yeah I was swinging it pretty well the putting is just a big thing right now just I’m trying to gain the confidence back on the short putts playing so many

Scrambles and stuff for like 10 months now I feel like I hard they ever putt like two three four Footers yeah especially if you’re putting last I’m excited about stroke play cuz I’ll start seeing more short putts go in I’m just not going to shoot it I could have Drive

Driven you out there you have a rinder I do at the good good event shout out the good good desert open my Rangefinder got stolen I think that’s my theory I had it on the edge of the cart I never left it at T boox cuz I always remember putting

It on the cart and I remember I had it on the last hole on the cart and by the time I came off putting green it was gone so if one of you guys has it out there shout out to you you are more than

Welcome to have it I’m okay with it also we are playing winter rules today as you can tell these are kind of the conditions you deal with in Texas in general that’s just kind of how it is 60 5 playing 69 yards up the hill into the

Wind all right my drive would have easily gotten on the green if I had gone at the green it went like 20 yards probably long and about 30 yards left so not very easy shot downwind not much green to work with have to land it just

Over this bunker but Roger is going to stay up here and film and that’s just what can happen right there unfortunately that’s going to keep going and going and going Twin Creeks it seems to be an easy course but if you miss it in the wrong spots it can turn really

Hard really fast where’s that laying like pin High uh 5 ft long I mean honestly it landed pretty soft it just kept rolling I caught it really good I just landed too far yeah a little Nipper that’s that nice little range that you like with

Your I know I’m loving it today this is not one of those putts you’re really expecting to make but it would be nice if it goes in we didn’t did you hit any practice butts I hit a few yeah okay to be honest I was really scared that that was going

To go long and roll off the green so I got I got a little tentative there all right well not the start we wanted but let’s make this six footer for par move on yeah I do get the line free read from Brad dude course is diabolical

No it does that’s what like from behind the putt I was like this should snap then I got over it and I did not feel the snap really okay this is actually a really good start well done yep good Bogies wow I woo you guys probably know

This I haven’t filmed in a while it’s actually been like over a month since I’ve filmed on GM Golf feels good to be back in the rhythm of things Brad and I we actually have some fun stuff planned we’re doing a a a good amount of film

Days here in Dallas here March 10th for us at least we’re going to be going up to a a pretty cool spot in California I don’t know if we want to spoil it too much but we’ll just say we’re going to be in montere San Francisco that kind of

Area like that kind of spoils part of it pretty much mostly all of it yeah what’s going on man you know what’s crazy bro that beard right there is what ours would look like if we grew it out I just shaved mine this morning isn’t that crazy we would

Literally look like that that’s so sick I have a pitching wedge is that weird I just feel like this is going to fly no okay maybe I shouldn’t be working on this little swing change today I got pitching wedge downwind I think it’s the perfect number so I’m

Just taking this right at it that’s bad Boge the first all I need a birdie here get it back look whoa I one just knocking it down it’s a really good start man I’m going to putt this um I’m going to hit mine this course just eats my freaking breakfast lunch

And dinner I got plenty of green to work with at least so just splash this puppy out and let it run yeah that’s very impressive shot thank you one fun fact about me I’ve always been very good out of plugged lies really why yeah can I move

My ball a little bit sure why do I have plastic in my way oh hit a little too y came in a little more clean than I expected still like the pl stop hammering it I feel like bogey bogey is about the worst start you can

Have at Twin yeah it is it is score about the absolute worst literally oh I just thought about how funny that would be if I missed that putt after saying bogey bogey is about the worst start you can have here bogey double imagine 59 is still in play damn

Can you imagine shooting 59 going bogey bogey start we have to go 15 under in the next 16 holes okay that’s not super reasonable I can’t find a te here I stole yours from last hole you left it in the ground I also want this to be a competitive match

Today I know we’re playing stroke play and whatnot but I would like to win I also would like to win let’s put a little something on it all right what do you want to put on it 50 bucks for every stroke 50 for every Str I I want like that’ll

Mean something if I lose by eight if I come out here and shoot a 90 Brad shoots an 82 I’m on track that I’ll play good ball thanks that’s actually Hammer CAU yeah that was hit very very hard I don’t yeah I don’t got my golf

Swing right now I need to go find it did that 142 I got a 52° I would like to make a birdie here that would be nice sit sit oh no holy flyer I mean Top Spin on that ball literally Top Spin on that ball bro I have been hammering your driver is

Going farther than I’ve ever seen by a mile it’s not even close all right well this drive actually ended up freaking perfect I’m hitting my driver so long right now it’s ridiculous I love it I just never done this four pretty easy shot downwind hit this close make a bird

Get on a good train oh my gosh that had NE is still rolled out like ft that’s crazy just downwind but I’ll take that let’s good look for bird if you could go on like your dream boys trip where would you go locationally for golf I mean the monter mon Peninsular

Would be hard to beat I agree let’s try and uh do our absolute best to not start off with three bogeys in a row that would probably be one of the worst starts I’ve ever had at Twin Creeks but plenty of golf to play we’re just getting started I got

Nothing okay that’s fine you’re like no need to get discouraged I thought after you hit it you’re going to be like I got discouraged we need one good thing from either of us to happen and we’ll see that good things can happen out here and it’ll give us hope absolutely keep the

Head held high and play golf how it did not snap maybe this is a good thing that needs to happen me making this will help both of us that’s ridiculous hey first part of the day you’re up 50 bucks first part of the day $50 up for Brad there’s actually

Lowkey a lot of money on the line I need to focus up today I don’t know how you play with caffeine you have an extra- large Diet Coke got a Monster energy drink and somehow you’re not shaking no that’s actually insane cuz I have built different you

Know this vitamin water with 60 Mig of caffeine and I don’t have feelings in my hands and I’ve drank half of it well you also have like hardly drank any caffeine for the last year it’s a good point got a broken tea part five downwind this is

Driver 56° if you hit a good t- sh especially with with for Brad I’m going for the green okay okay yeah dude the driver is the best I’ve ever seen 100% isn’t golf just stupid I spent like 7 years not being able to hit my driver

Finally I can hit it and then as soon as I start hitting it well my putting starts feeling like crap golf is is a stupid stupid game sometimes but I love it yes that’s the one I mean Brad is literally out driving me on average by like 30 yards I’ve never seen anything

Like it I have a pitching wedge here 159 that means Brad’s going to have probably a 56° like I said I’m just trying to give myself an eagle look hey I say mentally we think that this is a par four I agree yeah it’s a short Par Four cuz it basically is

Yeah might need to go go yeah it wasn’t as downwind as I thought on that second shot I think but that swing actually felt amazing so I’m really happy 118 yards I got 56° planted about 112 113 it’s pen yeah all right all right birdie look there make that birdie move

On to the next hole there you go get some Mo you know what I’m saying well Brad’s got 10 ft for the eagle technically I know we’re saying birdie and I’m I’m probably just going to putt that I don’t know what’s going on with my wedges they finally finished the

House I know yeah that’s what we were saying last time we were here but look at that guys I mean we literally have seen the entire evolution of this house how much do you think it is oh man 4 and a half 4.6 million wow I just guessed that you just guessed

That I mean I got nothing for you I just feel like yippy around the greens play golfer since I was 13 and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this uncomfortable with my wedges very weird cuz that was such an easy shot if we’re uncomfortable with the wedges hopefully we can be

Comfortable with the putter today there we go there it is you might as well just chipped it to an inch I know right it’s all the same still made birdie got this for my Eagle but like I said I’m pretending like it’s for my birdie yeah back we go back to the even

Par just like that wow something I should be give myself a chance like that on that hole with the driver sandwich and I did it felt good to convert the Putt and actually take advantage of it that house is stupid yeah that house is ridiculous

I don’t even know if I would want a house that I mean eh feel like everyone says that but deep down everyone wouldn’t mind living in a massive nice mansion you know is that big I wouldn’t want that you wouldn’t want that yeah all right number five par 4 it’s a

Shorty it’s like 300 and something um it’s dead into the wind uphill I’m going to hit me a little low drive just over those bunkers sit all right that should be fine hit a little like I wanted just not a very good swing should be good though nice

Thanks there we go it’s right where you want to be who would you guys want to see who would you guys want to see on good good or just in general GM Golf like as a collab I’d like to know what collabs do you guys want to see that

Maybe I don’t or haven’t thought about I want to do more of it do more of it it’s a lot of fun all right I put some gel in my hair this morning really yeah that’s sick not really the wind’s kind of blowing right through it but yeah

Congrats man thank you appreciate it can you uh film this oh yeah I can nice i’ like to make another Birdie the putter actually feels amazing right now like just with the way I’m rolling it sit sit I think that cut right through the wind maybe I don’t know yeah we’ll see

That have had a lot of spin though this is never a good sign probably missed way left and probably spun off the green that’s all right maybe he was just ripping back almost going in towards the hole you never know Brad right side of the Fairway two up

Currently on the day and in a div and luckily we’re playing winter rules yeah that would suck I’m going to try to hit a little penetrator down in there and uh yeah hopefully hit it close make another underpar score here oh boy oh boy that did not come out how I wanted m

No I got you oh thank thanks mate yeah gotta where’s my bow what the man that’s a couple jabronies right there this is the easiest chip and I’m scared to hit it which sucks so much man you got some good grass too no we have the easiest

Chips and I’m scared to hit it for some reason I mean he’s so good it’s so annoying it’s so much easier when you have this grass cuz a lot of times right now in Texas you got like this This Grass you’re chipping off of that’s when you start losing

Confidence no I needed to see one fall man if I saw that fall everything would turn around for my chipping yes yeah there’s a chip on to the next par three I’m currently two over Brad is even par rough start I think my goal is just get it back to

Even par for the front nine and then there is easily 3 to 5 under on the back nine 156 but I got a 7 IR dog yeah I got eight iron dead into the wind uphill I think eight Iron’s good I’m going to just get hit a little 3/4 knock down

Eight I had eight I just don’t think I can muscle it like that sit sit really yeah I think it’s good you think I got eight there I mean you definitely have to muscle it just all depends on the flight if it balloons a little bit or if it kind of gets through

It well I mean we got a putt but holy w long putt at it felt like a good swing again though so good positive feedback from a lot of these golf shots do you drink your coffee black um I do sometimes yeah you strike

Me as a guy that likes it black I don’t know why I really don’t know why yeah I mean going black for a little while but then I came back to K ker it was I think Abby got me out of the the black coffee

And got me back to using creamer I miss coffee coffee’s great how do you guys like your coffee right to left down the hill I mean I don’t I don’t know this is it’s kind of a tricky putt it swings at the beginning but it almost stops turning I feel

Like I was going to say sit but I think it needs to had the line greens have a little Pace to them yeah that’s I actually was like thinking that needed to sit they definitely don’t look like they do but no they’re running out for sure yeah I

Got like 20 25 ft from the edge of the green here pretty easy putt to be honest I think I got a pretty good read on it so see if I can make it get to one under never mind I do not have a good

Read on it bradus just made par I made par two over even par I did a video where it’s $30 versus 3,000 I want you to we’ll go to like a thrift store we’ll buy you like a $30 set and you’ll play me with that my clubs $30 set yeah like

A $30 you’ll be able to get like some hickory sticks or I don’t know like I got a pretty decent set at the thrift store we went to they were selling like each club for $2 $1.99 I want to test like how much that’ll affect your game

Yeah with playing with like trash clubs we have caught up to public play for the first time today number seven 548 yard par five very Gable is Into The Wind today which makes it a little tougher but if we get drivve should get down there in pretty good ways so I’m going

To be going just right to that water tower you might be able to see in distance good drive hopefully sets myself up for another Eagle on the front n good B Brad is that okay think I never I thought it was good it a little left not

Bad but have that tea I’m going to aim a little bit up the right side nice little little drive out there too much fade here’s just up the left side should be fine over there think so I I think I could be wrong but I could be fine so I

Don’t know about we’ll see shortly yeah I think your is pretty pretty nice down there yeah we’ll see I think I see mine well I got extremely lucky my ball stayed up if it had been like two more yards left it would have been fine but it would have been kind of

Jammed against the trees so very lucky I think I still have a good swing on the back swing we’ll see in a second but um the guys just go off the green 190 to the pin downhill into the wind probably going to be about a 5 six

Iron is oh yeah there he is that’s a Garrett cark and his natural habitat I was just looking for a golf balls oh okay so I do have a back swing I think but now I have this tree my way I to hit a big old draw luckily the wind is right

To left so it kind of takes off the amount of drive to hit I think I’m going to go six iron it’s back into the wind a little bit a out right let the wind take it left no oh my goodness that thing turned 90

Yards I think I’m in the water did it land in the water it landed on the edge of the green and rolled left no way with that much of a hook that you almost had to land that like on the hill well I thought it I thought it was landing on

The right side of the green and then the last like 30 yards of it it freaking turned like crazy hopefully it stayed up somehow but it landed on the green land on the yeah left side of the green rolled left it’s actually not that stupid I’m basically

Just trying to cut this one off the water with a 3-wood open it way up if you overcut it you overcut it should be fine yeah didn’t hit anything that was the thing with a shot like that is everything kind of funnels left my mentality was like if you overcut it you

Overcut it no harm no foul you just cannot go left yeah thing I didn’t hit mine great but I didn’t hear it hit a tree so we’ll see in a second this is kind of important because for those of you that don’t know Brad and I are going to keep

Kind of like a running total since every style of video is going to be stroke play this week we’re just going to keep a running total to see what we’re at to par by the end of these videos I kind of want to keep doing that my ball is

Not great at actually at all I really don’t have much of a shot this is one of the scrappiest rounds of golf I played in a while but we’ll see all right well I got extremely lucky again balls here still going to have to kind of take a

Stab at it I don’t really have much of a back swing but it’s it’s doable take a stab at it see what see what it does and I will take that just try and get up and down for par what the bounce that was a perfect

Golf shot I got to say I hit that exactly how I wanted to I have to see what this hit what did that hit quite the adventure of a golf hole really need to make this four a par and to uh stay at two over this pin placement is ridiculous yeah that’s

Crazy good catch hole wow that did not feel like a birdie for me but I will take it I got very lucky twice no that’s crazy that is crazy good birdie good birdie Brad is one under I’m three over tough start to the Round Dog left probably The Toughest Drive of the day

Water left um but a good drive sets up a little wet shot nice thank you driver just feels I’m just hitting every shot out of the center which is fun fun I actually got mine dialed in too other than that last hole the driver feels nice and hole one and hole two other

Than all those holes there’s this Creator tournament or half amateurs half creators competing in like a a 16 person qualifier I think saw that get into a PGA Tour event I got invited to play in that I chose to well first off I chose to not play in it and

There’s I guess there’s a lot of reasons there’s a lot of reasons why I think first off my game is clearly not ready for something like that in theory let’s say I’m in this qualifier with these like top amateurs who are like very worthy of competing in a PGA Tour

Event and let’s just say in theory I go have a lucky day and I do qualify for the PGA tourent first off I would be absolutely crapping my pants to play in a PGA Tour event yeah and second off I would be like slightly guilty I’d be

Like all right I there’s like a 0.1 chance that I actually make the cut I feel like I kind of stole someone’s spot in a sense so that was like one reason but I think the overarching reason for me was like my game’s just not ready

Like I just feel like I wouldn’t even in theory if I did play in a PG Tour event I just don’t think I’m like clearly I’m not at that level I guess what ended up end up happening is they came to me they said they wanted me to play over

Anything else I was like why wouldn’t we just like give it to Brad or something like why wouldn’t we just have you play I guess they wanted me to play in it and I told them I wanted you to play in it something I even thought about was like

What if you played in it and then I CED it and I posted the content on GM Golf if that’s what they wanted or something I just decided probably not in a position right now at least my game to be competing in something like that I just didn’t like feel super right about

It and there are a lot of those guys that are like George for example if he were if he does go win that qualifier and competes to a PJ Tour event he’s already proved it he’s already made a PGA Tour cut I think somebody like even

Grant has this a chance I think he has a chance cuz he’s such a consistent golfer especially off the tea yeah I think he would have a chance but I don’t know I’m just a realist you know I’m a realist still just even even if like say I played in

It and got through even I’d be crap my pants just cuz I haven’t like I’d have to play some tournaments before right like for you you’re playing when was the last time you played a tournament it’s been years yeah in the first tournament in years would be a PJ Tour event in

Theory yeah I think I could get to a spot if I were to actually set aside months and months and months to like really just practice which honestly part of the reason I want most of the channel to be stroke play from now on is so I

Can kind of grasp where my game’s at and figure out what I need to learn and what I need to improve even then it’s just like cuz a lot of people watching they just don’t realize how different tournament golf is it’s so different like how different it is I don’t know

Why I mean I think just the pressure of like crap like you have to go post a score it’s just a different animal yeah it’s like I can come out I can come out to Twin creas and shoot 66 every day for two months but then I go out in a

Tournament out here I could play a tournament at Twin Creeks yeah and I’d feel completely different than I would if I was just playing out here on video 100% so tournament golf is a different animal so I I get it I also applaud the people who are playing it I I wish

Everyone the best of luck and I hope that whoever wins does well in the PGA Tour event that’s what I want to see more than anything I hope that whoever comes through that qualifier and gets in is the right player to play in the PJ

Tour event I hope it’s like honestly I I want to see George play in a PGA Tour event again or Grant like dude seeing one of them that’ be sick but be sick they are going against top amateurs so we’ll see who he gets through yeah

That’s a that’s an that’s going to be an interesting it’ll be interesting to see who gets through that and what the scores are like 76 yards I got to recover after that missed opportunity actually want to focus up here lock in on the round make some birdies where’s the

Draw okay control the spin pretty nicely let’s make a put I’m going to get spot down here 50 yards away this pin is pretty close to that front edge so I’m going to try to make sure to air on the long side I’m going try to hit a little little Nipper

Here oh no okay that’s fine that’s okay that just didn’t come out how I wanted it to but it worked out I’m going to go ahead I got like 8 ft from my birdie here pretty good shot in here I am just hammering these putts that’s po bad por little right to

Left here for the birdie this would get me back into fighting range for the back nine be within three Brad need this one to fall hammered at home I didn’t even feel like I hit that that hard that’s what I’m saying these greens are sneaky fast

They just do not look fast and then all s rolling by 6 ft I don’t know if I should explain the real reason the heart stuff yeah it’s up to you brother whether you want people to know about that or not I still think I’m

Going to get it to Red digits today I think I just need a nice little Back N we’ll be good it’s like 380 to the pin by the way oh are you going for the green yeah I’m going for the green it’s it’s not even down what is this down off

The right I’ll hit a high draw okay I’ll do the same thing then yeah sure I’ll mess around and find out give me the power of woozy simmer softly should be fine I think I’m swinging out of my shoes here she going right over the bunch of trees right at

The green come on Brad oh my gosh Brad where’d it go it’s on it’s on off the back off the back you’re long you can roll off the backen wait what I hammered that that’s probably as hard as I can hit a driver 380 pin we’ll

See where it’s at dude I’m telling you it’s ridicul like insane I’m swinging hard as I can hand like every drive I’m hitting the center of the face every time that is insane flying like it’s like the most optimized ball flight I’ve never seen anything like it either well

Brad knows about it kind of everyone knows about it and I’ve talked about it a little bit on some stories on Snapchat and whatnot so I feel like a lot of you guys know about it but I’ve been dealing with a little bit of a heart heart

Condition issue if you will we’re trying to figure out exactly what it is it’s basically just like my heart will go in and out of It’ll like click out of place and it’ll beat Super regularly you kind of get lightheaded feel like you’re going to faint a bunch of different

Things until it kind of gets back Rhythm so it sounds like crazy but I don’t think it’s life-threatening or anything like that we’re just trying to get get kind of to the bottom of it bottom line nerves for me whenever I get nervous it triggers it a lot so sometimes in those

Live Events I struggle a lot and right now my doctor and I are trying to minimize any nerve situations like that I could put myself in anything that stresses me out we’re trying our best to avoid it and I was really In the Heat of the Badness I guess with the heart stuff

When I got offered the position to play in that qualifier and I know my nerves would be through the roof and the last thing I want right now is to be in a situation where I get super nervous and then my heart clicks out of place and it

Just turns into this whole situation so again just trying to kind of like avoid situations like that it kind of sucks but we’ll get back to a position we’ll we’ll figure it out and we’ll get to a position where we can do stuff like that and I’m actually like I want to get

Better at golf I want to get into a position where maybe in a situation like that I’m not overly nervous to where I can’t like really control it cuz that’s even something in the past like when I get nerves I almost like they get too much to the point where I can’t even

Control it can we just talk about how you have 25 ft and speaking of driver issues I don’t have them right now because I just hit it 380 to about 20 ft pin High 380 I hit that drive good I was optimistic that I could get it there I

Didn’t think I actually could but I hit that as hard as I could hey Rider my ball is on the cart path thankfully no close to the hole this way relief hopefully I can bird these last last two to get it to uh one over par yeah good shot thanks wel with me

Ryder I’m going to go take the pin out I got like 30 ft seems like a pretty simple putt as far as 30 Footers go let be for the second eagle of the day and to shoot 3 under on the front had to sharting off bogey bogey that would be

Huge and this would take a little bit more money out of Garrett’s pocket so that’s always fun oh my gosh hit the ball I thought I left that like 3 ft short actually and it barely I thought you left that pretty short too I’ll take that birdie though

Little two putt that’s two under on the front nine I like the line I have on it little right Edge putt nothing crazy maybe a little outside right Edge is to get back to one over which all things considered not bad at all yep dead center Butter’s rolling nice Brad’s two

Under I’m one over hopefully you guys enjoyed that video that’s the front N9 stay tuned for the back nine lots of stroke play coming your guys’ way so um stay tuned and let me know in the comments down below if you guys like this style stuff again the matches the

Match play the fun stuff it’s not going away it just might become a little bit less because I really want to you know dial in my game stay tuned for more videos we’ll see you in the back time peace oh
