As a seven handicap I’m not here to threaten the course record at Pebble Beach I’m feeling what any everyday golfer would grateful for having the chance to visit golf’s Hallowed Ground here on the Monterey Peninsula and while I visualized a career shot before every swing today I was also totally at peace

With every bad shot I hadit you can’t help but feel anxious standing on the first tea at Pebble Beach so I’m just staying true to the boring brand of golf I try to play as a seven handicap starting by taking a conservative Club on the first te and it definitely

Settles the nerves to put one in the Fairway here than and now it’s just a short iron in okay 139 in this swing felt far less pressure filled than the last go I’m backing off of an eight iron and while it’s online it’s not quite enough to get there Pebble Beach has

Notoriously small greens and I didn’t hit many today I offer another stressfree shot here a bump and run with my gap wedge and leave myself about 8 feet and thankfully the golf Gods grace me with this one thanks okay that calmed the nerves a bit first driver swing at

Pebble Beach looking at the two trees on the left that’s my target but oh I hooked it the first driver swing of the day is off not going for it from there I’m in a really bad lie going to hack a six iron and just try to keep it right

At the bunker and this one’s crap too oh now I put it in the bunker you only live once now I’m having flashbacks of my last round at Pebble where I made a triple after trying a similar shot from this bunker this one works out quite a bit better well it’s out although

Unfortunately I’m in some thick Fescue here and essentially have to hack this one out well that worked out really well about 8 ft but the brakes continue to go in my favor as this one Nestles up close we got a cup out here you think and my

Game is predicated on making these yeah like a die speed maybe even more this one’s sliding a cup to my right and I’m committed to my line here thanks the first few holes at Pebble are where the pros make their hay and the key for me will be keep keeping shots in the

Fairway to avoid scenarios like we had on the last hole okay so I’m looking left of the 150 I get it done here leaving another short iron but just like the eight iron that we backed off of on one 131 straight into wind this one’s also short

Of Target oh I flared it leaving my toughest shot of the day so far get down I still need to land at Short right fortunately it’s also my best shot of the day so far go in oh ni shot just a tapin for our third consecutive up and

Down the last time I played this hole it was a driver smooth wedge and a tapin bird center left side of the Fairway would be more than fine but today I’m opting for the three-wood hoping to keep some of the trouble out of play but no good deed goes unpunished oh it’s in

There and the three-wood winds up in the bunker 100 on the nose steep bunker lip in my face and things only get worse after this one o I think bunker to Bunker a shot known as the Saddam Hussein yeah we get this one on the green for a look at part

But it’s a good 20t or so left not bad and trying to get up and down for our fourth consecutive ho today we missed just a bit low and we’ll settle for Bogi that was hit very poorly but I think it’s going to work there’s a reason I’m celebrating this shot

Recently shanked it I’ve been fighting the shanks that’s a shank oh my God that’s another shank which is a perfect time to talk about the sponsor of today’s video swing tweaks I’m not a guy to grind on my swing but when I’m fighting an a cute case of

The shanks I love being able to get feedback from a pro immediately I just take a couple of videos of my swing and submit them in the app in return I get narrated analysis of my swing from a PGA Pro my Pro on swing tweaks pointed out

Some flaws in my setup and today no Shanks that’s the type of feedback I love getting on swing tweaks and for about the price of a glove I can’t recommend a better investment to level up your game in 2024 than than giving swing tweaks a try follow the links in

The video description to get going on swing tweaks today so it’s coming this way off but then it’s going that way back to the gulf I opt for putter from just short of the green here but this one leaves me a bit of work left yeah it’s for sure coming this way a

Millimeter outside I’m committed to my line and thought I hit it yeah that really moved but I’ll have to settle for another bogey so we are beginning a five hole stretch that they say is the best five hole stretch in the world I’m going to say that again we are beginning a

Five-hole stretch that they say is the best stretch of holes in the world it again we are beginning a five hole stretch that they say is the best stretch of five holes in the world onto a stretch that yeah you get the idea and

This is as well as I can ever hope to hit it that was so good and now the challenge is to avoid what I did the last time I played this hole this time I absolutely ped this hybrid oh nice shot which I replicated later in the round two and I’m looking

My chops with just a wedge in here okay 101 and in two but then golf happens chunked it it’s a disappointing Miss and I’m left with some work to get up and down and this isn’t my best either wow they’re really not releasing okay so despite two great swings earlier on this

Hole it’s a rare time that I find a bogey from inside 100 we’re playing this one from the back teas cuz why not another hole that you can’t help but feel some nerves on so I’m trying to just reassure myself 100 yard shot smooth gapway wedge thankfully

It’s better than the Chunk on the last wedge I pulled it but I’ll have work to do okay it’s okay there oh no and now on to another 20-footer for par but we don’t quite get it to go and the bogey train Roars on yeah Nicholas

Calls this the best par 4 in the world another hole where we’ll take less than driver for fear of winding up in Jordan spe SL just stand right over there right about here right where spe hit it and you don’t want to fall cuz that’s a long way down 191 you can’t see

The cliff I’m hitting over but I’ll show it to you in a sec this is a nervy golf shot and I mentioned that we peered a few more four hybrids today here’s one should be good I’m thrilled to have a birdie putt here but this is a great example of the

Camera failing to do a putt Justice I’m aligned almost 45° away from the hole after this final shimmy and now I’m just focused on speed the puts way and here it is go in go in and it’s worth mentioning that all of this is only possible thanks to your

Support thanks I’m hoping to reach 75,000 subscribers this year that was piped so if you’re enjoying videos on my Channel please hit the Subscribe button for more non-scratch golf well I was due for one of those today this hole is off the rails oh I yanked it get a good kick

Get a good kick kick it and it only gets worse here oo the double tap love the double tap but thankfully the rules of golf no longer punish double heads and somehow I escaped this hole with a bogey the flat stick did some heavy lifting on the front nine limiting the

Damage to only four overpar it’s also a classic Pebble Beach scorec card it’s hard to hit these small greens and while one of nine in regulation and 10 bad shots aren’t anything to write home about I’m feeling good heading into the back oh first Drive of the day this

Drive is doing me no favors on a long par 4 but at least it gets a good kick here you know what I think it stayed in the Fairway so we have 212 I’m going to hit a three hybrid a 200 club and this approach is no joke I think I was so

Focused on selecting the right Club here that I neglected to avoid the one obvious place not to miss hold on ball that might be ocean but how’s this for a break okay the good news is my Ball’s alive down here I found my ball and this light isn’t considered OB here at Pebble

And this one almost takes down the camera no idea how the rule book handles that one yeah I’m pretty happy with that and now we’ll queue up one from the memory bank a great par save the last time I played this hole I would like to

Make this and let’s see if I can recreate the magic here apparently we want to go pretty far left here suffice it to say this isn’t my best Drive oh no it’s only my second Miss Fairway so far today and I mentioned that the ref is thick here so in hindsight I probably

Should have swallowed my pride and laid up from this slide this is thick and that rough okay wedge on instead I’m left with about 40 yards trying to get up and down this will give me a look and after benefiting from tons of karma on the greens thus far we can’t quite get

This one I’m hit a smooth 190 Club playing into wind we’ll up for that four hybrid once more and this one’s all over the flag stick be good it will give me a great look yeah left dead and I thought I had this one the entire way but we’ll settle for par thankfully

This was my last Miss Fairway of the day that’s right but a spinny fade uphill is going to leave me with a familiar Club in I have 175 here into wind and my Ball’s sitting down in the rough so I’m hitting the 190 Club this time we

Managed to hit it on a good line it’s on a good line and get it pin High mine’s uphill sweeping hard to my right camera left get it to the hole but the putt from The Fringe is trickier than it looks the easy miss here would be short

Oh and I end up sending it far enough past the hole that I have a bit of a knee knocker coming back Full Cup almost thanks and I’m thrilled to roll in backtack pars for the first time since just the third hole today after consecutive crappy drives we’re back on

Track with this one a 5y fade right into the middle of the Fairway this is the toughest par five played on the PGA tour Nicholson one year while defending his championship in the proam made an 11 on this hole so I think we can do better than

That oh I topped it well two tops in this round that’s okay we have 170 playing 182 four hybrid again it’s got to be a big towering one and this is the most challenging lie we’ve had to hit the four hybrid from and lo and behold we catch a piece of this recently

Enlarged green it’s just my third Green in regulation today and I was definitely too frisky with this downhiller leaving me one more knee knocker for par oh ah first three putt today a frustrating break here a three p bogey another good drive here that should give me an

Opportunity to claw back some Strokes thanks okay so we have 134 straight into but man a backed off eight iron is a shot that’s given me fits today oh I did the exact same thing and now I’ll have some thick ref to contend with again it is buried that’s

Bad and this chip from off the back isn’t a whole lot better I’d like to make this putt I don’t think has a ton of left in it just a little but I’m still going through my whole routine despite having a long look for bogey in

This case and I’m very happy to limit the damage hereo I am lucky to escape that with a bogey we’re on to the final stretch never saw it and the big stick is continuing to cooperate oh I see it okay so 131 that’s my nine iron and enough of backed off

Eight irons this time even into wind I’ll hit my n iron a 130 Club so this is uphill and sweeping super hard left and on to another putt that’s difficult to appreciate on camera it’s swinging a full 10 ft or so thanks and I’m pretty happy with both the line and the speed

On this one and Par is a good score here oh draw draw this was a good strike but just a bit offline okay so this ball is sitting down and it’s into a tough spot but the chip is good and like I mentioned before my good scores require

Me being very tidy from this range all right let’s hit it nice and firm but not this time I pushed it right away it’s a bogey heading into 18 one more drive at Pebble Beach not my best here but I’m in good spirits about it well that was safe

Anyway yeah that is the amine can I even get a seven iron over the tree yeah and the second shot is a bit nervy it’s hit a bit skinny but it’s okay didn’t hit that particularly well didn’t go very far but we’re okay 191 in oh this isn’t

My ball but now comes the silliest mistake of the day we’re racing the daylight at Pebble 182 and rather than going through my proper routine here I took a very half committed swing with too much Club in on 18 cover I didn’t hit it well go and the result no is

Predictable didn’t commit fried egg from hell here I’ve drawn my worst lie of the day and this isn’t the most athletic stance but it was enough to let me get Club on this ball I’m so happy to get that out okay big up Hiller sweeping left and

Onto the lag putt which is not so great oh that has to get going a bit this is a big putt for me only devil today so suffice it to say that’s a little frustrating oh that’s a shame but not enough to kill my spirits at Pebble

Beach we’ll settle for an 11 over 83 good enough for a differential that more or less matches my handicap and just like last time I almost find it academic to run through these numbers what matters is that we got a fantastic day at Pebble Beach I hope you enjoyed

  1. So jealousy that you have played this course multiple times! You got beautiful days both times too. Nice playing!

  2. I almost thought that was a repost because of how similar you started hole 1.

    Different day, same golfer lol. Great video

  3. Technically and linguistically, a bunker-to-bunker shot is referred to as a "Rommel." But we will allow slang terms such as "desert rat" on this channel.

  4. is it me, or is this the first time I see real yardages approach/carry on a youtube channel, i always wonder how some youtubers hit 210 plus yards with a 6 iron and 275 with a hybrid haha. but not this video, i dig it!!

  5. When you’re old and gray, you’ll look back and remember a handful of holes that were the most memorable of the thousands you played. I bet that birdie on #8 will be one of them. Congrats.

  6. Congrats Adam!!! Great round, amazing course!! What a birdie in hole 8!!! Pebble is in my bucket list for sure ❤

  7. Your final strokes/putting count really shows how much putting really helps you out. If I had only 29 putter strokes on my last round I would have scored a 77… instead I ended up with an 88. Yes an 88 with 40 of those being putts….
    All that to say do you think you can do a video over what your putting thoughts/process is?

  8. Thought you played pebble twice in a month but then realized it was the narrated version haha. Looking forward to what you have in store this year!

  9. Dude, #8 was probably the best tee to green playing I've seen from you. Solid bird on one of the greatest holes in golf. Great job!

  10. what is with that asshole that you were playing with. It did not go unnoticed that he did not shake your hand at the end. He also just looked like a huge dick. Great round by you though. He was probably just bitter cuz he sucks.

  11. great work adam! at least you had nicer weather than wyndham clark did last weekend at the pebble beach pro-am! 🙂

  12. Congrats Adam on the birdie on 8, I'd love to be able to play Pebble Beach one day just to experience what it is like to play holes 6 to 10

  13. 29 putts is just absurd – business as usual for you. You should honestly do a video on just putting. I'm sitting at an 11 handicap and I average 36 putts a round. It's seriously holding me back. Would love to get that sucker down to 32.

  14. I want to know more about your December resort stay being waived tip. Because I just called and asked about it and got the usual 24 hour call for tee time answer.

  15. The best YouTube channel for golf by far! I would love to play a round with you if you’re ever in the UK 🙂

  16. Dude that tweeter on #8 was brilliant. Had to feather that thing way out the left side there like you were at the Tim Horton's Brier. 🥌

  17. Are you on that app, Golfmetrics? I swear your putting handicap must be like a + 2 handicapper on some of these rounds haha
