00:00The opening hole at Sheep Ranch.
00:02This is the best opening hole at all Abandoned Dunes, folks.
00:05And the reason for this is typically
00:07with golf course architecture over in Scotland, in Ireland,
00:10they save the best land, the best property,
00:13the oceanfront property.
00:14Not for a clubhouse, but for the golf holes.
00:16So the clubhouse set back, maybe back in the trees,
00:19a little ways off the coast of the first hole, the 18th hole,
00:23while good holes are not always the most spectacular.
00:25And that's true at Abandoned Dunes, except for here
00:27at the Sheep Ranch.
00:28We've got a 520-yard par 5.
00:31Awesome opening tee shot.
00:33As you can tell, there's a lot of action
00:34in near the clubhouse.
00:35Everybody's walking by.
00:36People got cocktails.
00:38There's a little bit of trouble right.
00:39There's a little bit of trouble left.
00:41But if you hit a good, solid tee shot,
00:42it's a spectacular par 5 that goes down the hill.
00:45I, standing here, have been known
00:47to have a little bit of the driver yips.
00:49Not the easiest moment for your boy,
00:51but I hit a pretty solid one, trying
00:52to set up for a little draw down the left center.
00:55Overcooked it a little bit, but it flew all the trouble.
00:57On the left rough, we got 230 out.
00:59Big shout out, by the way, to Body Armor Sport Water.
01:02Body Armor Sport Water is phenomenal.
01:04Everybody's always drinking it around the office.
01:06If you see in all the videos, that's just what we got.
01:08It's got electrolytes in it.
01:09It's clean.
01:10It's delicious.
01:11Head on over to your local 7-Eleven.
01:13Get your Body Armor Sport Water today.
01:15Mine's empty because I drank it, because I
01:17needed it on this trip.
01:18This is my guy, Odie, James, O'Donoghue,
01:20if you go to Abandoned Dunes.
01:22Highly recommend him and Cody cruising down the fairway.
01:24Hold on, Odie.
01:25Talk to me.
01:25Talk to me.
01:26230 pin, boys.
01:27First hole she brings.
01:29Glorious opening.
01:31Glorious opening hole.
01:32This has got to be the best hole out here.
01:33Got to be the best opening hole out here.
01:34I have goosebumps.
01:35See that?
01:37You're standing up.
01:37That's just from last night.
01:40230 out.
01:41Not the greatest lie over here.
01:42And if I pull a 5-wood or something,
01:44and I hook it or I spray it way right,
01:46our round's over before it even begins.
01:47So I took a little 5-iron, just tried
01:49to punch one down the middle.
01:51Hit it a little bit too far right, but it's fine.
01:53We got 60 yards in.
01:54I think maybe it was 61.
01:56Just a little 60 degree to this front right pin.
01:58And as you can tell, the reason this hole's awesome
02:00reminds me of Spyglass, the first hole at Spyglass Hill.
02:02If you've ever been there, if you've
02:03been lucky enough to be there.
02:04Cool little mini ghost tree behind the green.
02:07The ocean, the setting, the beginning of a round.
02:09Everything's in front of you.
02:11The slate is clean.
02:12You can start with a good birdie opportunity.
02:14Hit a little 60 degree in here.
02:15Camera fell over.
02:16It's always windy at Sheep Ranch.
02:17There's no bunkers on Sheep Ranch.
02:19There's wide open terrain, so the wind kind of always blows.
02:22Blew the camera over, but luckily, luckily,
02:24captured the shot.
02:25Hit a decent little wedge in there to 12 feet or so.
02:27We got a little left to right putt,
02:28which kind of messed with me because it
02:30breaks away from the ocean.
02:31So it wasn't exactly sure.
02:33Hard for me to commit to breaking as much as it did.
02:35Pretty good effort.
02:36Just rolled off to the right.
02:37We start this round with a nice little par.
02:40That is the best, the best opening hole
02:42at all abandoned dunes.
02:43That's the first hole at Sheep Ranch.
02:45That's body armor sport water.
02:47That's a par, and we roll into the rest of the round.
02:49I cannot rave enough about this body armor sport water.
02:52This is electrolytes.
02:53It's pure.
02:54It's delicious.
02:55It rehydrates you.
02:56I'm on a trip.
02:57We're having fun.
02:57We're having quite a few drinks in the morning.
02:59This thing's already gone already because I needed it.
03:01Good par to start.
03:02Let's get out of here.
