00:00All right, folks, we are back.
00:02As I said, we're going to film every single shot on the back nine of the brand new Pioneer
00:06Snubber 10 Tom Doak only been open a few months.
00:09Pretty solid start.
00:10We played a par five, a par three and a par five were even par to the first three holes
00:14on the back.
00:15This next stretch that we're going into here, the back nine phenomenal, by the way, much
00:19more difficult.
00:20This is a number one handicap hole over 500 yard par four.
00:23I don't hit it that far.
00:24So yeah, that's kind of what we predicted a little bit of a hook into the left stuff.
00:29But we're alive.
00:30There's a lot of room out here.
00:31The widest fairways at Pioneers.
00:33So we're safe.
00:34We're not happy, not overly thrilled with ourselves, but we're safe running around trying to find
00:38our teeth.
00:39They got really good teeth out there.
00:40So you don't want to lose those bad boys.
00:42Second shot or a million yards out, trying to hit it out of the waste area.
00:46As you could probably predict, this should go really well, topped it still in some waste
00:52area.
00:53Not great.
00:54Tough hole.
00:55Tough results.
00:56Old choice.
00:57Yeah, it was bold.
00:58Third shot.
00:59Eight iron.
01:00Here we go.
01:01And he actually flushes it.
01:05This one was good.
01:06This one was really good.
01:08Phenomenal result.
01:09This green's awesome.
01:10The whole thing kind of slopes right to left, almost like a bowl up there at certain in
01:14terms of like kind of the back edge.
01:16Hit a good one.
01:17Got it there close.
01:18Cleaning this bad boy up for par would be a huge victory.
01:26And we missed it.
01:27Low side.
01:28Amateur side.
01:29Pretty bad.
01:30And by the way, folks, this would all be a lot easier to play golf if you're just driving
01:33it well.
01:34Nothing drives better according to Motor Trend 2024.
01:37No SUV drives better, is better than the Blazer EV from Chevy.
01:42I need you to go to chevy.com slash Blazer EV.
01:45I want you to understand the 17.7 inch diagonal display screen over 320 miles on a single
01:52charge.
01:54Motor Trend judges them all, and they said this one right here that you're looking at
01:57the Chevy Blazer EV is the 2024 SUV of the year, 254 yard par 314.
02:06Like I said, we played a couple par fives in that first stretch that were nice.
02:09Then we come here.
02:10Brutal.
02:11500 plus yard par four.
02:12We've got a 250 plus yard par three.
02:15Once again, a little bit of a hooky one into the left side here.
02:18Not a great spot, not where you want to be.
02:20And we're kind of collapsing here in the middle part of the back nine.
02:23Kind of got a huge hump to deal with, so decided to try to bump this.
02:28Kind of shank bumped it and didn't even get it to the green.
02:31So pathetic effort.
02:32Okay.
02:33I really haven't figured that shot out, have I?
02:35Now we're putting it.
02:36I mean, after you kind of mini shank a bump and run with a nine iron, I think the move
02:39is to putt it out here at Pioneer's number 10.
02:41So here we go.
02:42We're going to putt it up the hill there.
02:44Again, not phenomenal, but makeable.
02:46Hitting that little, that's the rotary bump, just like trying to get it to stop.
02:49We got this puppy for bogey.
02:51Trying to keep this thing on the rails out here at the sand mines.
02:54Not the easiest thing in the world to do.
02:59Over read it.
03:00So we missed on the amateur side, then we missed on the pro side.
03:02Key is we're just kind of missing, as you can tell.
03:05Last hole here on this stretch, this three hole stretch.
03:09This hole is beautiful.
03:10This might be my favorite hole out here.
03:12This share is a tee box with a ninth hole.
03:13You got all kinds of room out here.
03:15It's a pretty short hole, as you can see, so you can really take on quite a bit.
03:19This was taking on a little bit more than I wanted, watching it a little bit anxiously,
03:22but it's only a 240 cover or so.
03:24Just left of that tree, so we found the right side of the fairway, wedge in.
03:30Pretty clean strike.
03:31There's a huge tear sort of right in the middle of the green.
03:35We kind of hit it right into that tear.
03:36It ripped back, left ourselves with a long look for a birdie here on the 15th.
03:42Kind of a lungy putt at it.
03:43It just didn't look athletic or particularly good at all, and now we've got ourselves,
03:47you know, eight or nine feet for a par, and then we just leave it short.
03:51So again, that's a significantly tougher stretch than the 10th through the 12th hole stretch,
03:56and we didn't play it well.
03:57We played it at four over through three.
03:59We've got three holes left on the back nine here at Piners number 10, so stay tuned.
04:02We'll be back, and we'll see how we finish it out.
