Push through it don’t hang back don’t think about it thinking about too much right now stop thinking about thinking about too much just hit it wow oh oh yeah you don’t have hands your camera good hit Par Four got water on the right kind of out of bounce on the

Left has to be a decent drive and that’s something I don’t really have right now so see what happens right next to the cart path that was the best Drive I’ve had in probably months 172 yards to the middle I think I’m gonna go with a six iron if I’m

Short I’ll be all right with that so I’m going with this strong grip lately just to see seems to be helping I do pull a lot of shots with it but not as slicey so it makes me happy strong grip means hand well over the top I’m try not to swing super hard

Here distance was good actually was a little bit long but I pulled it pretty hard right and I think that’s just me not going through the shot I’m kind of staying back and allowing the club to close all the way so with this new strong grip I’m not 100%

Sure if I need to do it while chipping or not so I think it’s going to go think it’s going to want to roll down to the left can’t imagine the greens are going to be super fast oh hip that’s what I’m not sure about well good for

Speed it did break left more than I thought it was going to take a bogey par 4 375 yards good drive required want to be just left of the tree out there push through from the inside don’t fall back on it all right well it’s a good hit pushed it out to

The left but there wasn’t a slice don’t forget to like And subscribe to the channel pretty cool got to get used to making some videos again trying to play kind of fast cuz we’re running out of daylight and I am out of shape so that doesn’t help again just look at this

Place this is Cross Creek Golf Course in Dallas Oregon my home course okay so I’ve ended up on the left side out here perfect line to the hole oh I hit a little chunky it’s actually a lot chunky maybe one and a half shots per hole for the before the PGA starts

Calling me it’s funny cuz with that shot I was thinking the whole time like I was a little nervous about it I was thinking don’t hit it fat don’t hit it fat and that’s typically what happens I just jumped over that what happens in my mind I start overthinking it I’m

Thinking come from the inside don’t hit it fat strong grip blah blah blah hit it fat so just trying to quiet those things down a little bit so I think I’m just going to try to bump and run it up there my gap wedge see if I don’t shank this [Applause]

One so that putt was where that awful chip another one of my uh shank chips landed and I buggi that hole not sure what’s going on there I think the face is open and wide up when I do my back swing so that’s a little something I got to figure out

Second one was good but the greens keeper guy was just weirdly watching me and when I’m filming I’m already super nervous cuz I don’t like being on camera and then watching the guy watch me film home some stuff really gets me on edge I was like can you please go

Away so I didn’t say that but I wanted to par 4 431 yards pretty much 90° to the right Fairways out in the middle you kind of want to hit it over this fence oh holy crap I hooked that one well I tried to overdo it a little

Bit that’s all right might be in a better spot actually like right by that nice thick fur tree over there so I’ve actually got really lucky here I was hoping to land it about 80 yards that way I only got about 160 yards the pin uphill normally I’d be like 180 185 from

Where I normally land it so going to hit another 6 iron just cuz it is way uphill hopefully get it close this should want to shoot out left yep that might be up there see how that one ends up I was a little nervous over it but it was a good

Connection had a nice little Fade to it just what I expected to happen let’s go see what it looks like oh there’s the ball wow that was a good shot probably lucky it’s going to be slippery putt though it’s going to be downhill my putt reading has been

Horrible lately I think my eyes are getting a little funky downhill so I don’t want to be too crazy can actually degreen this if I’m not careful and I still hit it to soft all right I got scared of that one no no ifs s or butts I got

Scared but come out with the par after a pretty terrible but lucky t-shot par is pretty good all right Par Four 407 yards dog leg did the left I feel a little ashamed of all the heavy breathing I’ve got the the dad life going on right now

Where I’m just work all day come home play with the kid do invoices do estimates play some video games go to bed wake up in the middle of night pe oh I pulled it darn it stop it’s safe that was pretty bad I felt I felt it when I came through I did

One of one of these fell back on it needed to stay through it by the way for all your dads and family men that are in shape how the heck do you find the time and energy to do it I don’t get it just seems impossible I’m so tired at the end of

The day I I can barely function so yeah leave it down in the comments below get me on routine tell me how you do it I want to do it pretty common theme right now 165 to the center of the green I got this weird tuft of grass right behind my ball downhill

Lie balls below my feet it’s probably going to want to go out to the left Oh I pushed it a little bit definitely left pushed it left I felt the face kind of open up there on me have to be a little Brave with it I’m

It’s going to want to go down to my left right away I didn’t hit it I hit that so soft chicken that’s all that was just being a chicken slow down oh god well that pretty much went dead straight so another bogey scor card’s getting too wet to to

Ride on it that was a five all right so got a little par three here downhill probably PL about 120 it’s going to hit a nice smooth pitching wedge right at it yeah just a hair short of the pin spun back a little bit 15 16 ft there not too

Bad could be completely wrong I don’t know if I got one leg longer than the other or what but that was pretty much dead straight oo I almost missed that be a good way to ruin an easy par all right par five how long is this

I think it’s the longest hole in the course 472 yards dog leg to the left to this point I haven’t been playing terrible golf it’s just the score card doesn’t really show it but I’m not completely wild I’m not having to chase the ball everywhere just manageable we’re not always going to

Play our lights out right down the middle okay take that pretty much smack dab in the middle of the Fairway actually landed in that water over there so I moved out a little bit still 257 yards out it is extremely wet right here I’ll be lucky to get

Anything out of here I’m not going to have much of a stance a little five hybrid try to get like a 200 yard shot if I can my feet are absolutely sinking these are always awkward when your feet are just sinking in the ground good hit check this

Out doesn’t look bad but when you step in it yeah it’s pretty bad oh my God so it looks like it absolutely crushed that second shot which is very unexpected must have came out with low spin cuz it I’ve never been this close to the green after two shots in this one front

Pin should be about 50 yards got my 60° here right at it why not I’ll take that any day just left of the pin might be a hair hair short okay yeah we got a probably 7t putt there not too bad happy with that I’m going to aim

Like a cup out to the left funny cuz you guys are probably looking at this like no it’s not stupid what are you doing come on birdie let’s do this don’t be afraid and it was dead straight the whole time man that really looked like it was going to break on

Me another par 4 372 yards all right that was right down the middle a little left kind of faded a little bit left but I think that’s it’s all right my hands almost slipped off the club so all my drives have been pretty decent I’ve had one bad one but

It was lucky just really trying to focus on pushing in and out through the ball and not falling back falling back is what gets me in trouble either I pull it really hard to the right hook it or I feel like fall back enough I’ll come through and like almost glance like

Like glance I don’t know how do you say that glance at the ball so glance glance I don’t know glancing blow I think it’s glance okay a little shorter than I want I’m still probably 30 yards from the creek 177 yards to the PIN to the center get that six iron again wet

Ball wet balls do weird things that’s my mom told me okay A little pulley that time looks like I’m just on the green I got a good kick that six iron is going further than a little further than I’m used to which is good it must be that strong grip you

Know it’s letting me hit this this the ball a lot more Square which is nice just got to learn how to control it but yeah that was a good good shot for me all right so I’m actually pinned high so I probably hit that about yeah about

170 all the putts that I thought were breaking were straight so this one’s probably going to break I think what it is too the water on the greens doesn’t allow it to break as much so it’s deceiving I’m going to trust my line dead straight perfect speed take another par B parito poror

175 back pin the pen is literally tucked behind the tree as Rick Shields would say un unbelievable oh yikes wow that was a horrible swing hit it thin went about 3 ft off the ground caught that tree went straight down un unbelievable so I hit that limb right

There actually came down so hard it made a pitch mark um if it would have got through it probably actually would have been a pretty good shot but that’s not the case oh I went under it dang it there’s going to be one of those holes where your score just

Goes you make a mistake then next one has to be decent that’s not what I just did but that’s golf move on to the next shot hopefully the next shot goes straight in the hole that’s that’s usually what I hope for when I do stuff like that

Wow this is going from bad to worse and I got a long bogey putt this is only 175 yard hole that is that’s rough second to last hole too and it just just tanks all it takes is one bad swing and you’re in the box definitely gets harder and harder as the

Rain keeps coming down you start to get like irritated by it you know you’re wet you feel heavy and cold it becomes way more frustr rating you feel uncomfortable a lot more of a grind turn oh that was so close darn it double bogey all right par five 456 yards dog

Legs to the left in between two trees out there and there’s a Creek in between the trees anything a little bit right is good I think I went left side a little bit but I think I’m in the clear right there don’t forget to reach down hit that like

And subscribe button get this channel going again I’m having fun feeling good let’s do this I think that’s pretty much the best dve I’ve ever had on this hole and I think that’s due to the strong grip like my drives are way straighter and honestly that’s probably that’s probably 280 on a rainy

Day like this maybe 275 270 for me that’s a that’s a crush I swing like 100 miles hour that strong grip I’ve noticed it on the drives more than anything right now just way more solid a little bit of mud on the ball we still have 238 try to keep it nice and

Smooth like butter push through it don’t hang back don’t think about it thinking about too much right now stop thinking about thinking about too much just hit it crushed it still on The Fairway a little bit right landed r on that little Plateau up to the face of the green so that’s

Ideal strong grip man if you’re having trouble with slicing just are anything that you’re not having good solid contact that strong grip that seems to be seems to be where it’s at I’m literally just 20 yards short of the flag here but it’s straight uphill little floppy that might be really

Good it looked like it landed right next to the pin that looked like it might be really good shot let’s run up this hill a little long not too bad though come on this get a birdie on the card it’s not straight oh such good speed it

Broke it broke like 4 in to the left Take A Part to end it not a bad way to end end it oh yeah you don’t have hands your camera that strong grip really seems to be helping I’ve tried it twice now what I mean by strong grip and people that

Golf will probably know but most people will hold the club to where this V points towards their opposite shoulder I’m turning my hand over like that stronger and that doesn’t allow me or it’s gives me a stronger wrist basically doesn’t allow me to flip the club outward as much so so far it

Seems to be working don’t forget to hit that like And subscribe and thank you for watching had a fun round let’s see what I got I went bogey bogey par bogey par par par double bogey par so not too bad of a round not great but I played

With the same ball the whole round which is a huge plus happy with that thank you for watching
