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 Pinehurst
00:06No. 10 Tom Doak.
00:07Only been open a few months.
00:09Pretty solid start.
00:10We played a par five, a par three, and a par five, or even par through the first three
00:14holes on the back.
00:15This next stretch that we're going into here, the back nine's phenomenal, by the way.
00:19Much more difficult.
00:20This is a No. 1 handicap hole, over 500 yard par four.
00:23I don't hit it that far, so yeah, that's kind of what we predicted, a little bit of a hook
00:28into the left stuff.
00:29But we're alive, there's a lot of room out here, the widest fairway is at Pinehurst,
00:33so we're safe.
00:34We're not happy, not overly thrilled with ourselves, but we're safe.
00:37Running around trying to find our tee.
00:38They got really good tees out there, so we don't want to lose those bad boys.
00:42Second shot, we're a million yards out, trying to hit it out of the waste area.
00:46As you could probably predict, this should go really well.
00:50Topped it.
00:51Still in some waste area.
00:52Not great.
00:53Tough hole.
00:54Tough results.
00:55Old choice.
00:56That was bold.
00:58Third shot, eight iron.
01:00Here we go.
01:02And he actually flushes it.
01:05This one was good.
01:06This one was really good.
01:07Phenomenal result.
01:08This green's awesome.
01:09The whole thing kind of slopes right to left, almost like a bowl up there at certain, in
01:14terms of 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.
01:27That's the bad amateur side.
01:28Pretty bad.
01:29And by the way, folks, this would all be a lot easier to play golf if you're just driving
01:32it well.
01:33Nothing 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.
02:03254 yard par 3, 14.
02:06Like I said, we played a couple of par fives in that first stretch that were nice.
02:09Then we come here.
02:10Brutal.
02:11500 plus yard par 4.
02:12We've got a 250 plus yard par 3.
02:15Once again, a little bit of a hooky one into the left side here.
02:18Not a great spot.
02:19Not where you want to be.
02:20And we're kind of collapsing here in the middle part of the back nine.
02:23Probably 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.
02:33Really 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 piners number 10.
02:41So here we go.
02:42We're going to putt it up the hill there.
02:43Again, not phenomenal, but makeable.
02:45Hitting 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.
03:14You got all kinds of room out here.
03:15It's a pretty short hole, as you can see.
03:17So you can really take on quite a bit.
03:19This was taking on a little bit more than I wanted,
03:21watching it a little bit anxiously.
03:22But it's only a 240 cover or so, just left of that tree.
03:25So we found the right side of the fairway.
03:27Wedge in.
03:30Pretty clean strike.
03:31There's a huge tear, sort of right in the middle of the green.
03:34We kind of hit 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.
03:46Now we've got ourselves, you know, eight or nine feet for a par.
03:49And then we just leave it short.
03:51So again, that's a significantly tougher stretch than the 10th
03:55through the 12th hole stretch.
03:56And we didn't play it well.
03:57We played it at four over through three.
03:58We've got three holes left on the back nine here at Piners number 10.
04:01So stay tuned.
04:02We'll be back.
04:03And we'll see how we finish it out.
