PGA Tour Player vs. Amateur Golfer: Who Prevailed in the Ultimate Challenge?

In todays video I am playing a 9 hole match against PGA Tour Member Erik Barnes. We played Sea Island Golf Club the Plantation Course. Famously known as where George Bryan earned his PGA Tour win! Hope you guys enjoy the video. Probably some of the worst golf Ive played on the channel but it was a fun day regardless.

I just got this this should be interesting excuses already I have a lot of what’s up you guys welcome back to the channel today we have a very very special guest PJ tour member Eric Barnes doing a N9 hole match Eric yeah thank you for coming man of course buddy good

To be here yeah I’m getting better uh n’s coming along nicely just trying to get back to playing and practicing a lot and getting my game back before I get back out on tour next year sometime I like it well best of luck best of luck

Today we’re going to have some fun make sure you like subscribe do what you got to do check out Eric’s page it’s going to link him down below let’s have some fun yes sir let’s go go we got like a 270 part 4 here into a treacherous wind

I’m hitting like three iron I I don’t know if this is even the right Club but we’re going to hit it this wind is so strong yeah I think I might have to get a different Club all right all right nice yeah shot thanks chicken that I laid up all right 112 out

Of the rough here pretty good it’s bounce forward yeah oh we’re on the green you you did bring over the cart I probably need a different club I’m going to grab this wind’s not blowing as hard as it was a second ago oh going right oh yeah the wind’s up there that

When up there we just don’t feel it here it just didn’t feel like it it’s weird though you can feel it back there you just can’t feel it here so I’ve been messing with aim point oh you have yeah trying to trying to get a better feel kind of

For what’s going on around the greens okay I’ve obviously had a lot of downtime when did you start that uh probably like two months ago okay so not that long ago so it’s still pretty new to me but what’s the reason for that I just think that I’m not as consistent of

As a of a putter as I’d like to be and I think think it could help me um gain some consistency on the putting greens d i was watching at the Honda Classic last year and I don’t think you had a putt outside of like 10 ft the whole round so

It’s when I’m healthy you know I generally hit it pretty good yeah all right they’re pretty quick yeah pretty fast that’s good there wow right butt wow are you playing the RB tourx uh just the tour you like it I dude I love it that’s good yeah

Yeah okay good put thank you yeah I love it man so I haven’t messed with that I just need the one that spins so this is the lower spinning one yeah I need the higher spinning one yeah this is cool it’s like the RB tour versus the RB

Torax right here yeah the battle of the see how it goes missa would love that I know 206 Beast of and I think into the wind maybe yeah mostly off the left possibly mostly off the left into the wind and I literally might hit through own yeah it’s uh it’s windy

Oh oh went you coming get on up there oh wow it went over might have well there’s like a little bowl back there okay and it can kind of just feed over into that bowl which is fine yeah a hooked it against the wind

Wind it’s going to be a heck of a putt it’s going to be an interesting t but it is on the GRE all right we just missed a little lawn here that was a heck of a shot man if that just landed a little bit short that would

Pure think I might bump and run it up through here and have it just trickle on down by the hole oh I like the play go like the play that was pretty good there that was pretty good yeah I’d say that’s so firm right there it’s crazy yeah of course

Wow dude what a putt nice is that aim Point yeah I’m I’m I’m learning it like sometimes the eyes are deceiving right sometimes it looks like it’s going one way there’s like mountains or Hills your feet don’t really lie to you as as you practice them and get better with it so

As I’ve gotten better at a point my my misses have gotten a lot tighter I mean what’s that 60 feet and yeah pretty incredible you know so it’s just something that gives me a little more structure oh just tailed off good putt thank you I didn’t see that break that much that

Crazy it looks good let me see that putter yeah dude Mao D I had a Scotty fun fact for 12 years and I switched to this and I was like why didn’t I switch earlier yeah one down early one down early plenty of time to get it back yeah this hole’s

This hole is a pretty if you get in the Fairway this is this is definitely a birdie hole the Green’s got some pitch in it but wo that’s nice just hope it doesn’t go too far I don’t know how far it is through the Fairway I saw it down should

Be pretty good though I think that was very nice oh yeah nice that is hammered though I might have to get down oh no that’s good good cart golf yeah easy cart golf so what’s your favorite uh course that you’ve played all and tour so far yeah I’m probably

Pebble Pebble pebble’s unbelievable like is is it the best golf course probably not the best golf course but like just the views don’t get yeah I mean where do you get views like that it’s just it’s just unbelievable really to have the opportunity to go play Pebble especially

In a PJ Tour event and pretty special yeah it’s just exciting man it’s it’s like really really it’s a lot of fun is this me or you uh that’s you oh it’s me you’re a beast let’s go you out drove me I really think this is like a perfect 60

But I’m afraid it’s going to rip I’m going to hit it anyway cuz I don’t know but maybe maybe the downwind might offset the that’s kind of what I’m hoping for to be honest with you that’s got to get down I think too little too far right that’s

Not too bad though but it’s okay yeah it’s good good distance control I got 110 um like Eric said you don’t really want to go too long with this hole set go go set go sit I think you’re probably putting I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that

I’m definitely pting I mean it’s not bad it’s not full putt though H we better finish we better finish cuz that’s my pj we’re going to go to Bahamas here in two hours right right Eric what’ you say I said we’re going to Bahamas in 2 hours let do we

Got to hurry and finish you got a PJ yeah that’s it coming in I just uh I just heard that ter for the first time call me old if you want you didn’t know some goes I got a buddy who’s got a PJ I was like what’s that do

Itesh good putt wow thought you made it that’s good ni sir that just snapped at the end there I’m kind of thinking the same thing as mine it’s like up and over this little Ridge and then it’s yeah it’s just going to take off taking off going a little

Left a I didn’t really take the left that much ER commends one up through three onto number four on number four one of the harder holes in this N I think is it yeah it’s almost a forc layup I think a lot of guys end up hitting like you know something 250 and

Then accepting you know 200 yards or 180 into the green yeah this is a tough t- shot but if you can get it in the Fairway make it a lot easier yeah for real think I just towed it right into the water I sure did right into the water overcooked it

Yeah I just towed it just hit it way out on the toe just overdrew it probably 10 yards wind got that that’s it okay there anything think there’s out of bounds over there I don’t know if uh I don’t know how far it went if it got all the

Way there or not okay so my ball stayed up let’s go you need to be lucky in this game man 180 into this wind I kind of need to keep it low underneath these branches here so I’m going hit like an easy five I think that’s going to be a good club for

Me I’ll stop it ah it’s just middle of green I think yeah yeah it should just be middle of green should be fine we’ll take that yeah I’m going to need some magic to not be all square after this all I got 165 in off the left kind of a

Tweener number here to be honest with you well the wind’s not touching it though come on wind the wind did not touch that did not touch it and the wind is straight off the left I was like kind of aiming at it trying to like hook it against it

Thinking like the wind would offset it and if it over hooked it it’ go right in here this is impossible like this is dude imagine if you just ho it this is impossible if it doesn’t go in it’s not I mean you it’s an auto W for you oh there’s no sand no

Sand I heard that drop kicked right into it I got a snob no yeah it’s all right that’s good enough for the win yeah appreciate it 550 power five not reachable I think we’re just going to go right at the bunker in the middle of the Fairway yeah

Y thank you that work yes sir oh my gosh he trying to it’s pounded yeah right rough probably should be okay though yeah is it is it a bad move to I lay up is it a bad move uh what’s the yard is 180 260 260 I’m I’m going to head through it

it boy if I had a lie I’d go for it yeah yeah I have no Li worst case scenario I’m I’m going to aim a little left the cuts a Cuts where am I going Eric little left just a tad I think it’s in the Fairway over there just kind

Oh my gosh that is just do not go right golf swing yeah you don’t want to hit it right that’s a fact wow you’re hitting it again I think I have another three with in I think I hit it that far left this looks like a 100 yard layup

Yeah that lie is treacherous the LIE is no bueno that’s what you get for missing the Fairway by 10 ft yeah what are you doing I mean if this lie was good I would totally send this but that thing is send further down than C me right now yeah it’s not

Good sh I thing jumped though yeah I hope it didn’t jump too much though I got 130 hole laid it up here cuz obviously there’s water there just Narrows up further down you go and it just looks like you don’t want to hit it over the back

Here oh where is that going wow I actually thought when I hit it it was going to be pretty good that looked really good in there and it just uh wind push it left right left I mean it makes me feel a little bit better about my 3w

I play on the Wind now yeah no doubt how would you hit the shot I would in a tournament here though I’d be I’d go for a little more conservative route going up and favoring this side of the hole gosh those branches man hey I know they’re hot let’s follow the PJ tour

Device right here PJ tour member 72 so you got what 75 to cover it 75 to cover sitting down a bit but I feel like if I open the face up and just and just rip it rip it it should be okay just came came out Muffy ah oh well

Lie just wasn’t good enough to yeah I that high that far it was over yeah rough rough hole I looked like I was in the driver’s seat there just kind of got unfortunate with that lie right behind the tree but you know that’s golf not going to get good braks all the time

Now I’m stuck with a shot over a bunker with water lawn absolute dream shot dream position oh yeah go and Nice Shot go oh get on up there get on up there wow that just kept trickling good play man thanks well done get in keep RW Square yeah good play

Wow oh that was dirty wow just was a good little firmer thought you made it we talk about how sweet these flags are for a second yeah I know pretty sick oh the flag yeah yeah you don’t see those triangle Flags anymore do you I know and

It’s like like someone like hand Stitch this all right Erica is one up going into 15 here we need some birdies this hole is a hole I think guys just hit an iron down there and then a wedge okay nice yeah I like that one that’s pretty pry that’s pretty

Pretty it should be good yeah money oh no I just kind of stood up on it s doesn’t good too far it’s fine I don’t know I couldn’t see it land that was a bad swing just a lovely light here ooh that was nice all righty it’s have some fun here

All righty keep your ey on swiel boys so can go anywhere I just get this somewhere on the green I’ll be happy not bad yeah just going to leave myself a great shot oh yeah you’re the Fairway you’re good yeah we’re good we’re good so what I get for hitting it

Right what I get for hitting it right dumb dumb mistake I got 106 cross wind don’t think you can miss this left um so I’m going to try to hit it right at it and if the wind moves a little right that’s fine it’s kind of fading off when kind of got

It State I think that’s pin High maybe not that’s a good shot this is just crazy hard you want to get up by the green Sure go in good try these pin are crazy dude yeah that’s what I saying when you said this was like an easy pen I was like I don’t know about that yeah goly good try two up one and 16 sheesh that was a bad hole that was just

Off the t- shot honestly the last two were kind of dumb just leave myself in like really tough places 153 downwind off the left just because I’ve played here I know long R is absolutely dead like it’s probably going to take a miracle to make three from back there so

You’re obviously favorite short and left now if I had a yardage book and I knew exactly what it is was to cover that Ridge I’d be trying to barely cover that Ridge so if it’s 145 I’d be trying to hit at 145 and leave myself 15 18 feet

Short and left of the hole and try to make a birdie putt without bringing too much trouble in I mean you just got to avoid right and long and it wasn’t downwind it was a great swing but it wasn’t downwind I got a pitching um I don’t know I’m second

Guess right now I think I might hit nine yeah wind’s just not helping hold it that’s fine that’s fine Flor yeah cuz it’s sure it’s fine yeah all right so we both have pretty similar looks at it you just got to go up a ridge yeah I got to go top shelf

Here hit it off the green though uhoh uhoh door is wide open you can’t be doing that I just degreened it I do the same thing yeah I think it’s just really fast we’ll just edit those first ones out yeah this is where it actually ended up no it’s good give you that

One gosh we really good at golf I got to one out D me still frustrated last two the last three holes have been just so dumb on me so dumb that’s golf sometimes though yeah Lally can make you feel so good about your game just make some dumb mistakes and

There goes your round well how do you like mentally recover from that you just it’s one of those things man it’s like it’s golf it happens all the time right so you just just go hit the next shot that’s really all it is like you just train yourself to forget as fast as

Possible like you just go focus on this one right like got short memory I had somebody tell me a long time ago you never know when you’re going to make four in a row true right you make bogey or double you never know when you’re

Going make four in a row that’s fair if you get mad about making a bogey probably aren’t going to make four in a row so it’s true go hit as good of a shot as you can right I like I like that mentality I think we’re both laying

It up here I think we got irons in our hand just going to hit something out there and try to make birdie with mid iron our hand stop okay yeah good one all right I’m going to do the same thing wello fly high y fly Let it

Fly stop is it doesn’t go too far it should be in the Fairway stop saw bounce I don’t know my playing partner might be in the water it’s close bounce saw it bounce but there’s not a lot of room here oh it’s up but I don’t think you can hit

It look at that lie what do you mean I can’t hit it I mean you can go backwards how oh shoot you go Lefty you literally plug right all right I got 126 kind of hard to Peg where the wind’s at little in off of the right probably a 35 shot which is

Normally my gap wedge we’re going to hit this see if it’s the right yardage hopefully the wind’s not more in than barely cuz if it is this will probably be short but oh be good that’s money right there oh go in oh I think it’s spinning

Away from the ho though yeah good shot though better swing getting better as we go along here yeah you know all you need is reps I know go no shot was impossible I know I won’t lie it’s impressive that I thought I thought it could have like I thought it

Was impressive that you got it remotely close to online I thought I could have like you know curved it around I just yeah that would have been if it was like right here I could have done it yeah like right there I I think in most situations you just chip it right back

Over here oh 100% And then just put a wedge on the green I guess you have to right you’re dormy so yeah I have to I have to let’s go watch Eric make his birdie putt oh I hit it if didn’t hit it I guess it kind of got there broke a
