Transcript
00:00 Oh I love the line.
00:03 This is already one of the hardest golf courses I would think.
00:08 And top it like that.
00:09 I've drawn a real stinker of a line here.
00:11 I left my gap wedge at home so that's fun isn't it?
00:15 Oh my god!
00:17 It's easy, it's really easy.
00:20 Oh thank you.
00:21 Oh god.
00:22 Chunky town.
00:23 Oh my days.
00:24 Short of it.
00:25 It's just going to give me the line.
00:26 I'll be honest, the wind's died.
00:31 There's no wind now, that's why I'm so angry.
00:34 I feel so beaten up and there's a lot of breeze out here.
00:37 Yeah, we haven't pretty much had a good shot of wind.
00:39 So there's time to improve.
00:41 I've got one of these left.
00:43 This shouldn't be one of these.
00:54 Okay so Dan this is the third hole.
00:57 This is the first of our difficult holes that we're going to play.
01:00 And it usually plays the first here for the members, the usual routine.
01:03 And I'm looking at it and it looks quite generous actually this tee shot.
01:07 So what makes this hole so tricky?
01:10 Well it's only index 13 on the card actually Neil to your point.
01:13 It's only just under 400 yards but as you can see, not a very generous looking tee shot.
01:17 You can't actually see where you're going.
01:18 It's a huge dog leg from left to right.
01:20 You've got internal out of bounds on that right hand side.
01:22 I just thought I'd let you know about that.
01:24 It's okay, we've been hitting them left so far.
01:25 So we're all right for the time being.
01:27 Where's my left shot getting me?
01:28 Well your left shot will get you in the clubhouse or on the putting green.
01:31 So it's a tight tee shot and a big dog leg.
01:34 Now I have zapped to the exact point in which you run out of fairway.
01:37 So 223 yards, you will go through this dog leg.
01:40 So you're not going to see a driver on here from us or anyone at the open either really.
01:44 It's going to be a rescuer or wood or something like that.
01:47 Probably even iron potentially if you hit it long enough.
01:49 So it's a tricky shot.
01:50 And as you approach the green.
01:51 As if that's the billing you give it.
01:53 Yeah and as you approach the green there's more out of bounds on your right hand side.
01:56 Is there?
01:57 So two very precise shots.
01:58 Right.
01:59 And a really difficult hole I think for us to tackle today.
02:00 Would you like to see who goes first?
02:02 Go on then.
02:03 Which hand is my ball then?
02:05 Left.
02:06 Off you go.
02:07 Well it's slightly down.
02:08 And I'm going to hit that.
02:09 A slightly down wind.
02:10 We're not quite sure on the line.
02:11 We've got the yardage spot on but we're happy with the line there.
02:15 You can't go right hand side without going out of bounds.
02:17 That's correct.
02:18 So it's a big difference.
02:19 We've played two holes so far.
02:20 A couple of lefts from Neil.
02:21 And there's out of bounds right.
02:22 So let's see how we get on.
02:23 Good luck mate.
02:24 Play well.
02:25 Oh I love the line.
02:26 That is super aggressive.
02:27 Little draw.
02:28 I could be in trouble here.
02:29 Well done mate.
02:30 I think we'll find that perfect.
02:31 It started off a little right Dan.
02:32 Yeah but you backed yourself didn't you to hit the little draw.
02:33 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
02:34 It started off a little right Dan.
02:35 Yeah but you backed yourself didn't you to hit the little draw.
02:36 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
02:37 Well I think we'll find that perfect.

03:29 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:30 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:31 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:32 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:33 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:34 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:35 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:36 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:37 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:38 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:39 Well I think we'll find that perfect.
03:40 It's the same shot again you know.
03:42 216.5 yards.
03:43 All this to the right is now out of bounds.
03:47 That's where the driving range normally is.
03:49 There's a lot of construction going on there.
03:50 The wind's off the right so I'm not too worried about it.
03:52 And with my little fade I've been hitting, I think it's the exact same club again.
03:57 I just hope it sort of trundles up there.
03:59 Front left I'd be happy with I think.
04:02 Get that out of my way for a start.
04:04 I'm going to start on the pin.
04:06 I'm going to be risky.
04:07 And let's hope I don't do the unthinkable.
04:20 And top it like that.
04:22 At least it's on the straight and narrow hey.
04:24 Let's see what Tappers does.
04:27 Right so I've found my ball here.
04:28 Perfectly on the middle of this mat.
04:30 No actually we are out, anything on the fairway hit from that.
04:34 It is middle of May.
04:35 So obviously we're only a couple of months out from the Open.
04:37 And I'm starting to see why this hole is quite tricky now with this out of bounds down the right hand side.
04:43 I've got, Laser is telling me I've got 194.
04:47 And it's quite a horrible shot this because the wind's off the right.
04:51 You want to sort of knock it up the right hand side.
04:54 But out of bounds very much in the game.
04:57 194.
04:59 I think short left is good especially having seen Dan's shot.
05:02 I'll take just short, just left.
05:06 I'm going to aim at the flag.
05:20 Hooking.
05:25 Not my most balanced shot but it's somewhere up there.
05:29 So Dan tell me what happened with that one there.
05:32 I think I had a lot going on in my mind.
05:34 It's very busy round here and I was so anxious about pulling it.
05:37 I think I just sort of leant up and out of it.
05:39 It's not the worst top in my life though.
05:41 I've only got 105 yards in.
05:43 You're still in the game here.
05:44 However I'm going to switch my clubs now.
05:46 I left my gap wedge at home so that's fun isn't it.
05:48 What do you reckon hard sand or sort of a chippy little easy wedge.
05:52 Keep it easy.
05:53 Bring it easy.
05:54 Oh thank you.
05:55 Okay yeah right.
05:56 So 105.
05:57 I don't know where yours is.
05:58 I think it's scuttled off the left hand side of the green.
05:59 We'll go find it in a minute.
06:01 I'm not going to worry too much about you though have I.
06:03 I need to just get my act together.
06:07 I think so.
06:08 Right.
06:09 I'm not out of the mat yet either so this should be fun.
06:18 Oh my days.
06:19 Please get down.
06:20 It's quite low.
06:21 Please.
06:22 Very linksy shot that one.
06:23 Oh heck this could be a long afternoon.
06:24 Tapper let's go find out where yours is and maybe I can make it up and down.
06:27 I've drawn a real stinker of a lie here.
06:30 It's in this stuff.
06:32 Without wanting to sound too pessimistic I could hit this out of bounds.
06:37 Because I need to sort of chop down on the back of this.
06:39 Anyway good luck.
06:42 Six.
06:43 Six.
06:44 Stay up.
06:45 Oh it's nice though.
06:46 It ran out a little bit more than you thought.
06:50 Nice shot.
06:51 Do you know what I'll take that.
06:53 Get up a bit.
06:54 Ok well I'm putting for five.
06:55 Can I hold that and get back into it.
06:56 Let's go have a go.
06:57 Not bad.
06:58 Right it feels quite big Neil I think.
06:59 I need to drop this really.
07:00 Put a bit of pressure on you.
07:01 It's for a five.
07:02 A working man's five I believe they call it.
07:03 You haven't lost the ball yet.
07:04 No that's true.
07:05 I've tried my hardest.
07:06 To me this is straight up the hill and for goodness sake just get it there.
07:07 I'll be back.
07:08 I'm going to try and get it up.
07:09 I'm going to try and get it up.
07:10 I'm going to try and get it up.
07:11 I'm going to try and get it up.
07:12 I'm going to try and get it up.
07:13 I'm going to try and get it up.
07:14 I'm going to try and get it up.
07:40 In the format that we're playing is this to go one up or is this to go two up.
07:46 I think two up.
07:47 Two up.
07:48 Yeah I think we're just playing three holes worth of shots.
07:50 Okie dokie.
07:51 That's why it felt quite momentous for me back there just to try and get a five on there.
07:54 It's just for a two shot lead early doors.
07:56 Ok.
07:57 Has my putt made you think any different?
07:58 The little turn at the end?
07:59 Yeah it has actually.
08:00 Ok good that's what I like to hear.
08:01 Oh yeah.
08:02 Ok right.
08:03 I thought you deceived me.
08:04 Yeah good that's what I was happy about that.
08:05 Five down.
08:06 I feel like I've got away with one there.
08:07 Which is our next hole?
08:08 We're off to the sixth now which we'll chat about why that's the hardest when we get there
08:09 I think.
08:10 Good stuff.
08:11 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:12 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:13 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:14 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:15 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:16 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:17 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:18 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:19 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:20 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:21 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:44 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:51 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:52 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:53 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:54 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:55 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:56 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:57 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:58 I'm going to try and get it up.
08:59 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:00 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:01 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:02 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:03 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:04 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:05 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:06 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:07 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:08 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:09 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:10 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:11 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:12 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:13 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:14 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:15 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:16 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:17 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:18 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:19 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:20 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:21 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:22 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:23 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:24 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:25 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:26 I'm going to try and get it up.
09:47 It's not coming from anywhere.
09:56 It's hanging out.
09:57 It doesn't want to come back.
09:58 It's just awful.
09:59 It's gone nowhere as well.
10:00 It might even be short of the, either short or just in the sort of slightly heavier stuff.
10:05 No, I saw the, I got the concept.
10:06 I'm trying to use the wind there.
10:07 It didn't really help me much.
10:11 Well.
10:12 You're in the game.
10:13 Oh, don't say that.
10:14 That's awful.
10:15 I also want to try and ride this wind and hit my fade.
10:18 So I might start it out there and hope for the best.
10:34 Oh God.
10:36 Chunky town.
10:37 Go.
10:40 I think I've chunked that to the front edge.
10:41 That's on the front edge.
10:42 Could you take a quick moment to say a big thank you to the team at Nikon.
10:46 So Nikon are a sponsor of the Open Championship and they have given us the opportunity to
10:51 play the golf course here today.
10:53 So massive thank you.
10:54 And they've also given us, Dan and I, both a different laser rangefinder.
10:58 I've got the Coolshot 50i.
11:01 Really handy when it comes to trying to pick out distances, especially when you're playing
11:05 a Lynx golf course like this, that is pretty flat.
11:07 Found it really easy to find out the yardages.
11:10 So a massive thank you to the team at Nikon.
11:14 All right.
11:15 Nice and smooth.
11:18 Oh, I got underneath it.
11:20 It's fine.
11:22 It's fine.
11:23 It's putting.
11:24 Do you know it's putting, right?
11:25 Putting.
11:26 It's in three-putt territory.
11:27 Yeah.
11:29 It's Texas wedge all day, this.
11:31 I'm not getting a wedge out here.
11:33 It's long putts.
11:35 Try and get it within a bin lid, a trash can lid, as our American friends would say.
11:41 It's a long way away.
11:42 I've not had a distance putt today yet.
11:45 Anything could happen here.
11:54 Keep rolling out.
11:55 Keep rolling out.
11:56 Keep rolling out.
11:59 It's within my large dustbin lid.
12:01 Very big bin.
12:02 It's a big bin I've got.
12:03 It's an industrial-sized one, that one.
12:04 Very big bin.
12:05 There's a bit of meat left on the bin, isn't there?
12:08 I thought mine was closer for the record as well.
12:11 So, you know, both playing three now.
12:12 How would you like the pin?
12:13 Yeah, take it out.
12:14 Take it out.
12:15 I like it.
12:16 Don't mind that.
12:17 All right.
12:18 Anywhere.
12:19 I'm going for the dustbin lid as well.
12:20 Another dustbin lid.
12:21 Bigger, smaller than mine.
12:22 Oh, I've pushed it.
12:23 Push.
12:24 Oh, wow.
12:25 That's not good.
12:26 Oh, my.
12:27 That's not good.
12:28 You did say earlier it was in three-putt territory.
12:29 Right.
12:30 What's the other thing, like, we were just chatting about in Link's course is it seems
12:38 flat and then there's undulations and just subtle breaks everywhere that I don't think
12:41 you get on your...
12:42 Although I think we're making it look more breaking than it is.
12:45 Remember, Neil, these are the hardest holes.
12:48 Okay.
12:49 Well, did you push yours?
12:52 It didn't break.
12:53 That was awful.
12:54 Okay.
12:55 The lesser about that, the better.
12:56 Dustbin lid.
12:57 Come on, Dan.
12:58 At least it's not on YouTube or anything, mate.
12:59 No, my dustbin lid's the hole here.
13:03 Come on.
13:04 Oh, it's just rolled out.
13:10 Just a silly little length, Dan.
13:12 A silly little length.
13:13 Are we giving putts or do you have to putt that out?
13:15 No, I think we should putt out.
13:17 I think so.
13:18 Just like the tour pros would.
13:20 Right.
13:21 Okay, right.
13:22 We're both playing for our fours here.
13:24 We pitched this as the toughest, but this was fairly innocuous today.
13:28 Oh, well done, mate.
13:35 Well done.
13:36 Well, it's a bogey.
13:37 It's a four.
13:38 It means I can't gain anything on you.
13:42 I've got one of these left.
13:45 It shouldn't be one of these.
13:46 Okay.
13:47 Well, a pair of fours.
13:48 I thought I should have put one up on you there.
13:49 You should have done.
13:50 I should have done.
13:51 Oh, well.
13:52 I didn't hit a good shot on that hole until the putt.
13:53 The fourteenth awaits us next, I think, with a one-shot lead, Neil.
14:00 Yes.
14:01 Let's go find out what that looks like.
14:07 Okay, so, Dan, we have got the fourteenth to play now.
14:15 So, why have we done this one?
14:17 We've chosen this one because it's a long par four.
14:20 It's a very difficult hole.
14:22 And in the spring meeting here recently, the members, this was the hardest hole on the
14:27 golf course.
14:28 Yeah.
14:29 And it played, I think, it played, the average was 5.25.
14:32 Which is quite difficult.
14:33 And it's index two as well, isn't it?
14:37 I've got three within my hand just because my driver's not going so well.
14:40 It is two good hits.
14:41 I'm just trying to, you know, get myself in play here.
14:43 I'm winning two off the left coming off the estuary.
14:45 I'm going all out.
14:46 All out attack from Neil Taffer with a one-shot lead.
14:48 What could possibly go wrong?
14:52 Oh, I've cut it.
14:55 Cutting up the right hand side.
14:57 Is it heading towards that trap?
14:58 Over.
14:59 Over it?
15:00 Over.
15:01 I think that's going to be a good angle into this hole because it does want to squeeze
15:05 that way a little bit.
15:06 How bad is the bend over that bunker?
15:08 We're about to find out.
15:09 I don't mind over there.
15:10 I don't mind over there.
15:11 I've got the whole face of the club on the ball, so I'll go.
15:12 I just feel like with three within my hand now, is it ever going to be enough?
15:17 It's going to be three with three wood for me, I think.
15:20 It really is.
15:21 I'm playing it as a five.
15:22 Let's hope Taffer makes a seven.
15:23 Doable.
15:24 Come on.
15:25 Oh, lovely, Dan.
15:26 It's a good hit.
15:27 It's a bit spinny, but it'll be in the middle of the fairway, I'll tell you that much.
15:41 It's definitely going to be...
15:42 It's not long.
15:43 It's not going a long way, folks.
15:44 I'm not a big hitter, but hey, I'm in the middle of the fairway.
15:47 Let's go have a little look at it.
15:50 This was the hole, Dan, in 2006 where Tiger made a two.
15:56 Yes.
15:57 The fairways were brown and gold.
15:58 It was proper height of summer links gold, wasn't it?
16:01 Yes.
16:02 Not as much as it is now.
16:03 No, definitely not.
16:04 I think it was 206, 209 yards, low 200s, four iron.
16:08 He said it was lucky.
16:09 I think every hole like that is a bit lucky, isn't it?
16:11 It set him on his way to go and win, and it was some shots.
16:14 It's probably one of the most famous holes, I think, here at Hoyt Lake.
16:17 What's quite interesting about that was that Tiger, I think I'm right in saying that Tiger
16:21 only hit one driver that week.
16:25 Correct.
16:26 72 holes and he defeated once.
16:27 I don't know which hole he hit it on, actually, but yes, definitely once.
16:29 You don't know which one, but in the clubhouse here is his two iron from the use that week.
16:35 It's an old Nike blade.
16:37 We'll try and get a shot of that two iron to put in the video.
16:39 It's a gorgeous bit of equipment, isn't it?
16:41 It is beautiful.
16:42 You can't help but think to yourself, "Gosh, how good must he have been to be using that
16:46 in A competition and B to win the Open?"
16:49 As his stock little finder fairway as well, and still get it right down there.
16:54 It just goes to show when it comes to the Leeds golf, at their level, it's about controlling
16:58 the ball far as much as possible.
16:59 Well, shall we see if one of us can hole out quite like that on this hole or not?
17:03 You might need to.
17:04 I don't think we've got it in us.
17:05 As I suspected, not too far after T, spun up a little bit into the wind.
17:10 This is an awesome golf hole as well.
17:12 My line from here is a blind shot.
17:14 My line is sort of the grandstand.
17:16 The pin is tucked right on the left-hand side when we get up there.
17:18 Probably going to end up short, but I'll end up short right is where I'm trying to get
17:22 myself.
17:23 I'm just playing this as a five.
17:24 Not sure where Neil is.
17:25 Hopefully, he's got an average lie.
17:27 I'm just trying to just get forward, just go forward, and try and bring some half-decent
17:33 golf to the game.
17:35 Into wind.
17:36 I'm going to try and get a golfing where Tiger holed out, so that's got to be good vibes,
17:43 right?
17:44 Oh, I don't mind that, if I may say so.
17:53 I've actually struck one.
17:54 That could be great.
17:55 I don't know.
17:56 It's blind, but that's what I wanted to do.
17:57 That was perfect.
17:58 A little fade, hybrid.
17:59 I'm excited.
18:00 I don't know.
18:01 Let's go find out.
18:02 Good shot, Dan.
18:03 Thank you.
18:04 I'm buzzing.
18:05 I'm a bit concerned about that.
18:06 I'm concerned about that.
18:07 I've now seen the lie.
18:08 To be honest, I think we should have hit the sand.
18:09 Don't want to be that guy, but I thought it was in sand.
18:11 We're short of the sand.
18:12 What have we got distance-wise?
18:14 You've got a much better angle, though.
18:15 We can actually see the green and the pin this time.
18:18 I have got 180.
18:21 I've got 180, and it is-
18:24 It's turned straight into the wind as well.
18:25 It's 180, and it's all into, isn't it?
18:27 It's a funky lie.
18:28 Stop it.
18:29 We don't know where my ball is either, by the way, so I've not heaped too much pressure
18:33 on it.
18:34 It was just a good strike.
18:35 I think we should go down the shaft a bit on the fore iron and just put it up the right-hand
18:38 side.
18:39 I think right's the play, isn't it?
18:40 I mean, look at that pin.
18:41 Oh, no.
18:42 Heading toward two bunkers.
18:43 Short.
18:44 It's short of those two bunkers, and that's going to be an interest.
18:45 That was a stinky little lie for a fore iron, I think.
18:56 Yes, it was.
18:57 Strategy.
18:58 Good confidence.
18:59 Right, I'm going to bound up the fairway now and see what we've got going on up there.
19:03 I'm in trouble.
19:04 Bad times.
19:05 Very, very bad times.
19:06 Well, it's good for a start.
19:07 It's a good job we missed these two brutal little putt bunkers here.
19:10 Yes, I've not got a bad lie.
19:12 It's just I'm more concerned about the fact that you're on the green.
19:14 It's awful.
19:15 Just left of the lighthouse, I think, from your angle there.
19:17 I've got a good-looking putt.
19:18 I wouldn't even say you're in three-putt territory there.
19:20 I need to hit a half-decent shot here.
19:25 Oh, no.
19:26 It's right on my ball.
19:27 It's going to be short of it.
19:28 It's just going to give me the mine.
19:29 I can't believe it.
19:30 It's going to be short of it.
19:31 It's going to give me the mine.
19:32 It's going to give me the mine.
19:33 I can't actually.
19:35 It's quite hard for me to describe to you how bad that shot is.
19:38 It's a wheels-off moment.
19:39 It was not a difficult one.
19:41 Oh, dear.
19:44 Oh, no.
19:45 I've had a total nightmare here for two reasons.
19:48 One, I feel it nowhere near the hole.
19:50 No, it wasn't your finest, Geoff.
19:51 It's a 50-yard pitch.
19:52 And two, I'm going to give you the line on this.
19:54 You've just given me the perfect line.
19:56 I can't wait.
19:57 I'm not going to spot on it too heavily, but it's going to give me a clue, shall we say.
20:01 If I hole this, the team will break out.
20:03 So, state of play. State of play.
20:05 Yours is for a four.
20:07 Mine's for a three.
20:08 Yeah, and I'm one shot ahead.
20:09 You're one shot ahead.
20:10 We're effectively here for the same.
20:11 I know.
20:12 Down.
20:22 Oh, that's down nice and tight.
20:24 It didn't turn, did it, on you?
20:25 It didn't want to turn.
20:27 I would say you've got this to win.
20:30 So, I've got a putt to win.
20:32 How do you like it?
20:33 I'll just leave it in.
20:35 I like the aesthetic of the flag here.
20:37 Now I'm actually quite nervous, Neil.
20:41 Because I've got something to play for here.
20:43 My short stick isn't my friend.
20:45 That didn't break, did it?
20:47 If you make three here...
20:49 Oh, yeah.
20:50 I'll be pretty happy, let's say that.
20:53 But two ties it and we walk off as friends.
20:56 Right, come on, Dan.
20:59 Come on, Daniel.
21:01 Does it turn? Does it turn?
21:08 It doesn't quite turn, Neil.
21:09 I didn't get it there either, which is a shame.
21:11 I should have got it past the hole, really.
21:13 I think I got too scared of the three putt.
21:15 Let me tidy up before we start saying anything too far ahead.
21:18 Well done.
21:19 Thank you very much.
21:20 Well, at least one of us made a par.
21:22 Finally, eh?
21:23 Well done.
21:24 Three over each, I think.
21:26 Not the best golf.
21:27 Brutal golf holes in the end.
21:28 This one especially.
21:29 Brilliant to play.
21:31 Not playing particularly brutal today.
21:33 No, gosh.
21:34 A little breeze, warm.
21:35 Cannot wait to be back here for the Open Championship in a couple of months' time.
21:39 It is looking beautiful out here.
21:41 And if they continue to get the conditions we've had and they get a bit of wind...
21:44 Yeah, it's going to be epic.
21:45 It is going to be epic.
21:46 Can't wait to see how they handle this.
21:47 It's going to be one to watch and one to remember, I think.
21:50 It's been a privilege to play it.
21:51 Well, thanks very much for watching.
21:53 I hope you enjoyed the video.
21:54 We'll see you next time.
21:55 Bye-bye.
