00:00All right, PGA West, Jack Nicklaus course,
00:02not the easiest course in the world,
00:03especially when you're hitting it horrifically.
00:05We are five over through six.
00:06We filmed every single shot on the front nine
00:09out there by ourselves.
00:10Beautiful day, firm out there, gorgeous views,
00:13and we are now gonna wrap this bad boy up
00:15on the seventh, eighth, and ninth holes
00:16brought to you by Truly Tequila Sodas.
00:19We've been hitting the driver all over the place
00:20a lot of tough hooks.
00:22This one actually struck well.
00:23As you can see, it draws up the right center.
00:26We are in play.
00:27We are in the fairway.
00:28We are excited.
00:29We're looking at mountains.
00:30We got barely any clouds in the sky, so we're excited.
00:33Here we've got, I think, about 210 or so in,
00:37a little bit uphill, hitting a five wood,
00:40trying to kind of hold off.
00:41Hit a pretty good one up here.
00:43I didn't quite think I could fly a four iron up there,
00:45so went with the old five wood.
00:47Hit it pretty good.
00:48Liked it, straight, not duck hooked.
00:50Ended up just over the green.
00:52So we're kind of putting back down the hill here.
00:54Again, this is brought to you by Truly Tequila Sodas.
00:57They got four great flavors.
00:59You should check them out.
01:00This is for Eagle.
01:01You should check this out.
01:02Had some in my ear, so everybody relax.
01:07It's a damn good effort.
01:08Well played hole thus far.
01:09We've got a short one up the hill for Birdie.
01:12After all of the debacles that you saw thus far,
01:14a Birdie would really feel like quite the miracle.
01:17He drains it right in the heart.
01:18Come on now.
01:19Reminder, Truly Tequila Soda.
01:21Keep it light.
01:21Hard Seltzer Beverage Company, Boston, Massachusetts.
01:23Please drink responsibly.
01:25We got 5% ABV, 100 calories.
01:27Four delicious flavors.
01:28Awesome hole here.
01:29Par 3, eighth, 143.
01:31Hit an eight iron.
01:32Make sure I could kind of cover.
01:34I thought maybe I'd get in the back left of the green.
01:37Hit it a little too far in the back left bunker.
01:39Water all up the front.
01:41So kind of a gutless effort there.
01:42I should have just hit a nice solid nine iron.
01:44Wasn't easy to get that Truly into the sand
01:47without creating a bigger mess, but we didn't.
01:49Kind of didn't think about the fact
01:51that a bunch of sand would get into my Truly,
01:53which it did there.
01:54Made it a little bit difficult to drink.
01:56This bad boy for par.
01:59No, another mess.
02:01I hate to see that.
02:02Five over through eight with a birdie.
02:04So as you can tell, the rest of the ball striking
02:06really, really pure, really good.
02:08Last hole of the front nine.
02:10Struggling with the driver.
02:11Last two drives, solid.
02:13These weren't great.
02:14We're kind of holding them off
02:15because we're so afraid of duck hooking them.
02:17So they're not going extremely far,
02:18but this one's in the fairway.
02:19Got water all down the left here.
02:22I believe I had about a six or seven iron in here.
02:26Classic DC bailout out to the right,
02:29which as you saw in the first eight holes,
02:31a little swales around these greens, not the easiest.
02:33You got to kind of navigate.
02:35So you got to navigate what to do.
02:37Do you chip over them?
02:38There's water all down and if it's firm.
02:39So if I blade one, it could be ugly.
02:42About pin high, we're just going to try to putt it
02:43up over this knob, dribble it down towards the hole
02:46in a horrific effort.
02:47Not happy with himself.
02:49This for par.
02:50Once again, this is to avoid going six over through nine.
02:5369, very nice.
02:55See kind of why I left the first one short.
02:58It's pretty quick down there,
02:59but either way, wanted to avoid disaster there.
03:02You kind of did.
03:03That's a bogey.
03:04Here we are, six over through nine.
03:06Not great, but we're having truly,
03:08we're on a little truly tequila-cation.
03:10And PGA West is just a fantastic venue.
03:12Awesome, awesome views.
03:13Enjoyed it.
03:14Perfect weather, perfect condition.
03:16If you could just play a little bit better golf,
03:18it might be perfect.
03:19Fuck!
