00:00Okay everyone, Lookout Mountain. We got the 4th through the 6th holes.
00:04We're rolling into the 4th hole out here at Lookout Mountain.
00:07This is a bit of a tough hole from the tips. We are playing the blues, but they were moved up.
00:11We're going to go with the driver. Still a little bit lungy, but a good one.
00:15This one came out nice. You can see in summertime, places like Lookout Mountain, pretty much anywhere, turf is firm.
00:20It just doesn't rain, it's dry, and the turf is firm.
00:23So the ball kind of bounces. You got any side spin, any of it's moving left, moving right, whatever.
00:27It's kind of going to keep going for a while until it finds something.
00:29Chevy, they're going to keep you going forever, especially the Chevy Traverse.
00:32Go to Chevy.com slash Traverse and check this thing out.
00:35We got 3 rows of seating. We got 8 people. 8 people who can get in there.
00:40All kinds of cargo space. Great technology. 17.7 inch diagonal display screen.
00:44Best in the business, best in the class for large vehicles.
00:47328 max horsepower, and it's just awesome.
00:50Chevrolet, together let's drive. Iconic American.
00:53All right, we get out there, and unfortunately, even though we're out here by ourself, filming by ourself,
00:58we could do anything we wanted by ourself.
01:00We found a divot. We don't have very far in.
01:02We've only got, I think, 88 yards, but we're out of this divot. 54 degree wedge.
01:07Always hold it just in case it was good. This one wasn't. It was short.
01:11I thought it was short and chunky, but sometimes it's not.
01:13Sometimes you're not that sure. You're just not that good. Your judgment's not that great.
01:17And again, I didn't love this lot.
01:19We're in, I wouldn't say a divot here, but it's an imperfection in the grass.
01:23There's a little bit of knob off the left-hand side of the green.
01:25So I decided to go with the putter here. I thought it was safer, safer than trying to nip one up there.
01:29So kind of kicked way more left at first than I thought.
01:32And then at the very end, you can see it kicks off that knob, starts to dribble to the right.
01:36Pace was okay. Line was horrific.
01:38And after a good drive, frustratingly, we only had 88 yards in, but we've got this putt for par.
01:43I did the classic, a classic one there where I wasn't sure if it broke right or if it broke left.
01:48So I played it straight. Of course, it broke towards the valley. It always breaks towards the valley.
01:51And that's just kind of a mess. Luckily, we come to a par 5 here.
01:54We're now 3 over through 4 holes. Hate to see that.
01:57Another dogleg right for a guy who does cut the ball.
02:00That's not the worst thing in the world. So decent drive.
02:02I think, I think it was going to be okay, but not 100% sure.
02:05It started to maybe overcut just a little bit and sure enough, get up there.
02:09Not in the grass. It's not in the bunker. It's in this little wasty, washy area just right of the fairway.
02:14We've only got 209 yards in here, but as you can tell, stance is weird.
02:18I got to get it over these trees and still try to hit it, you know, 210 yards or so.
02:22So I kind of went with the 5-wood here, trying to move my right side out of the way.
02:25And 5-wood's easier to get elevated, get the ball in the air.
02:28Hit it pretty good. It started a little right, stayed a little bit right, landed on grass.
02:33But all things considered, in those houses and OB to my right, that could have been a complete disaster.
02:37It really wasn't. We ended up in high. We're down. We're significantly below the green.
02:41And we're still in the wash. We're just grinding. We're in the wash all day.
02:44So you got to hit this one clean. I got a 54-degree wedge, and I like that one.
02:48Ooh, that was kind of tasty.
02:49That was kind of tasty. So we get up there. Ended up in a great spot.
02:52It rolled just past the hole. We probably got about 10 feet.
02:55A little left to right, looking back for our first birdie of the day.
02:58Can we convert? No, we sure can't.
03:00We remain 3-over to 5. It's 1-over on the first two holes of this video.
03:05And we did not handle that par 5 the way we would have liked to.
03:08Last hole of the three. This is our sixth hole. We need a birdie. We need a good shot.
03:12I got a 6-iron again. It's 190, 95, something like that yards.
03:186-iron because it's firm out. Pin was kind of towards the back right.
03:21Hung it out to the right. Did not like it.
03:23Lands on grass. Kicks towards a washy, ditchy area.
03:27Wasn't 100% sure if it was going to be okay or not.
03:29We got up there. Sure enough, it was fine. It was barely on the edge.
03:33That thing landed not that far right of that bunker.
03:35Again, it's just firm out there. It's dry. Everything's kicking.
03:37But we got lucky it held up, so we have ourselves a decent chance.
03:40This is the 54-degree wedge yet again. I knew it snapped right to left up there.
03:44I kind of started this a little farther left than I wanted to.
03:47Kind of landed right at the pin and then just rolled pretty hard to the left.
03:50Not happy with myself. Pouting a little bit, as you can see.
03:53Got ourselves about 12 feet up the hill.
03:55This is to avoid going 4-over through 6 to start at Lookout Mountain,
03:59which is a pretty gettable, easy place, especially this time of year.
04:02Played a ton of break, and it just didn't break.
04:04Luckily, able to tap that one in.
04:06Decent bogey. Just kidding. Bad bogey.
04:08But what's great is Chevy.
04:09Reminder to go chevy.com slash Traverse.
04:11Check these things out. They're great.
04:13Stick with us. We got three more holes left.
04:15Lookout Mountain. People love it.
04:16Great logo. Great layout. Fun spot to play.
04:18So stick with us. Three holes left.
04:20That's coming up next.
