The hero Dubai Desert Classic the DP world tour’s most expensive regular season event you may recognize it from the iconic e hole t-shot with the Dubai Skyline in the background with a purse of over $9 million it attracts worldclass players like Adam Scott Tommy Fleetwood and Rory Ma I’ve been given

Exclusive access to this entire tournament I’m going to be playing in the proam checking out all the hospitality Suites and potentially meeting some players my goals this week are to hit a beautiful t-shot on the eighth hole find the best hospitality suite to watch all week and meet one of

My favorite players Rory maroy it’s currently 557 a.m. tea times at 7:20 so we’re going to get there pretty early get warmed up this is my first like legit Pro ever Prett fired up I’m a little bit like too tired right now to actually be nervous once we get warmed up once we

Get that first tea probably going to be pretty nervous it’s proam day baby it’s firew and and we made it where do I check in I’m pretty sure the like gift for the pr is a putter on Odyssey A1 putter is this just for like participating in the progr the gift okay

I’m participa okay so we get a free putter free putter right now cool thank you so much appreciate it just got free butter let’s go also how about this Clubhouse this is the Emirates Golf Club probably like the nicest course here in Dubai this this is going to be so jazzed

Up we check in headed to the driving range and got ourselves a little complimentary breakfast we got some fruit skewers bacon in and cheese on a Brios Bagel I’m not sure what this is but a little breakfast wrap and some assai P puree blend and some coffee

Don’t look down but that’s Rory Mac just Waring up on the Range to my left goal today Shake Rory’s hand we’re going to warm up here I’m convinced that I hit the ball better when I swing with this training in before I play so we brought

It all the way to Dubai I’m going to hit a few shots of it my range partner I’ve seen Rory use this lot L of guys on tour use this so figured we’re out here on tour might as well use it as well look like such a doist out here a just dude

See that’s what I’m saying it just gets you right verbal meme Drake meme warm up full structural changes to your swing right before the biggest round of your life here’s where things got a little bit interesting they told me my tea time was at 7:50 turns out nope it was

Actually at 720 so they came and picked me up in a golf cart and rushed me to the 11th screen and I met up with my group there so basically missed the first two holes of the biggest round of my life your boy was a little bit

Stressed seeing how we got there an hour and a half early in the morning just to make sure this didn’t happen so I met up with my group on the 11th hole we’re playing with professional Lorie caner who was actually on Liv tour last year and then VJ and Bridger who were the

Other amateurs of the group a little bit embarrassed about this but I actually thought the night before that I was going to be playing with the legendary Masters champion VJ sing because of an email that I got with the names of the people that I was going to be playing

With the next day turns out one of the guys in my group’s first name was VJ the other guy in my group’s last name was sing Honestly though both great guys probably would have rather play with them than the actual BJ s kind of threw me off there a little bit in the

Beginning but I think we’re settling in we just missed the first two hes which was kind of a bummer but format for today basically just take the best t- shot and then we all play our ball out from there and then based on the handicap system so couple people have

Strokes a couple people don’t either way we’re we’re going to be firing away hopefully just kind of filming everything so since we started on the back n that means we got plenty of time until we head to the eighth hole to hit the infamous t- shot with a Dubai

Skyline in the background but you better believe that every single t- shot leading up till then was just in preparation for that specific shot not going to lie to you guys I did struggle a little bit in the proom I think the main reason was the rough was just so

Thick the thickest rough I’ve ever hit out of rough is so thick this rough is no joke I’ve never played in rough this thick but my poor play didn’t hold the entire team Pack Mr VJ and Mr Sing were still playing pretty well and we found out that the winning score of the

Previous year was about 30 under par which at the turn we were at 15 under which put us right on track to hit that 30 mark back on track that’s three points for the squad there that’s huge all right right now we’re fired up we’re fired up baby the boys are buzzing right

Now boys are heating up as the boys were heating up I also started to play a little bit better here’s a few highlights from the round couple good shots here couple good shots there put me in a good head space hidden into that e hole which is what we’re all worried

About this is this is the hole we’ve all been waiting for hole number eight just probably the sickest t- shot in all of golf honestly this was the goal was to hit a good one here so if we can do that the day will be a success we a fair

Away hearts pound all right here we Go oh man it’s not I was just waiting for that moment all day and just totally choke but is what it is sneaky knew that was going to happen but pretty bloned about that t-shot but still had a great day with Lori and the crew we also only ended at about 20 under

We’ve got two goals today number one is to find the best Hospitality tent to watch the tournament the rest of the week and number two is to meet Rory maore first thing we did when we got to the tournament was we headed straight to the range to see if we could spot Mr

Rory the roar Meister didn’t see him but we did see Master’s Champion Adam Scott and open Champion Brian Harmon we also ran into another professional golfer of sorts just some professional YouTube golfers how’s you buy been so far when I spend time with people like you it

Doesn’t matter where I am you know I could be in Arkansas right now and it wouldn’t be any different Minnesota maybe a little after saying what’s up to Mason I looked to my right and realized that Rory maroy was standing maybe 50 yards from me and he

Was walking towards me looking like he was coming over to say what’s up uh so I kind of freaked out and I put the camera down and just froze I didn’t do anything I didn’t say what’s up I just let him walk right by uh and I realized that

Maybe that was my only chance of meeting Rory maroy uh but turns out he kind of went into a spot where only the players could go so couldn’t go in there yeah I was a little bit distraught I thought well potentially just ruined my only chance at meeting Rory mroy but we

Couldn’t just sit around and wait we had another goal to complete we headed over to the hospitality tents to see if we can find the best hospitality suite I feel like I’m doing something wrong when I have access to stuff like this cuz just not used to it you know we’re going

Way up man this is going to be sick still going up this is just like one of the Hospitality tents here but we’re way up you can see the the 18th and the the ninth green here this is crazy we just got word Nile horin coming up here so little was he One

Direction sure sure sure see a Nile was pretty cool but we had another celebrity in our sights after checking out a few of the hospitality Suites we came across the mecca of all Hospitality Suites unb aable food setup they had fruit desserts uh Seafood curries pastas they had a guy

Cutting steak they also had a master chocolate here doing a little chocolate Expo that is probably the nicest Hospitality section I’ve ever been in at any tournament I’ve ever been in that was pretty sick the Dolla Lounge that’s a place to be with the hospitality spot

On lock we headed back to the range to see if we could maybe run into Rory M give ourselves one last shot but there wasn’t really anybody on the Range it was kind of late in the day everybody was heading home um we also decided just

To head home and so we went and started waiting for the bus and then this happened Rory is there anywhere any chance we could get a photo sure you mind yeah appreciate you I’m I’m Josh how are you great to meet you good to see you perfect appreciate it have a going

Man good luck this week good Lu let’s go fired up brother I think I gained swing speed just from chicking s out oh that feel so good that was great

  1. Great story telling! And that tee time nightmare is every golfers nightmare. You handled it with class!

  2. how does it feel to be responsible for rory's W that weekend? If you didn't stop him, i don't think he pulls through

  3. Great video Josh!! And was this the tournament that Rory won or Tommy? I thought you were going to duff it on the 8th especially since you had the music setup for it!! But I cause the duck hook isn't any better. Still I can imagine that was an awesome experience!!🏌‍♀⛳👍😀
