Stewart Golf: Coming soon!

this time on Quest for the O I’m viciously attacked you almost my mouth work hard on my diet and finally win a pro [Music] event morning this is Stand golf club now this is the second Quest miniseries event of the year the first video was centered around the first at Fleetwood and we got two comps within this one video so 36 holes to actually try and get some decent golf played now I’ll throw up the qual graph here the focus of these events and what I really want to move on with is all about trying to improve my mental approach physically um swing wise is but my mental approach is M so that’s what I’m trying to bring up to a very average today uh the course here at stand by the way is looking absolutely beautiful it’s we’ve had about a week so two weeks worth of decent weather in the northwest of the UK and the course atmosphere everything is like so so much better it’s going to be toasty today as well mid 20s have you got water I’ll get some got a plan for success and I’ve learned from the first tournaments so I arrived literally about 10 minutes before my tea time so we’re here an hour early got a nice nutritious breakfast as well been on the bike this morning to get my body loosened up now we’re just going to have like a proper warm up with my mental approach what I’m really looking for today is just a consistent pre-shot routine and not getting too flustered so as I get loosened up for the round here I just want to say a massive thank you to Clayton Park Bakery who supplied a 100 butter pies for this event so yes it’s 18 hole stroke play yes it’s a difficult stressful event to play in but for every birdie that a professional gets in this event they are going to get a butter High my fingers are just crossed that by the time we finish there are some [Music] left okay a drivable first hole here around the corner let’s go yeah shot face bit quick but bit nervous though all right come on my time come on yeah remember remember what you’re actually playing for today ni spin yeah can’t forget every birdie we have today is worth a pie yeah hold cheers all right yeah very safe all right two three three 22 front squeeze it full R around there [Music] chase that came out way too well all right come on all right the back that’s a long way back [Music] [Music] it’s firm firm firm firm not in Winter anymore no p all so there was no pie but I do have one in the bank and we start to get into a part of the course here which is fairly tricky like there’s a lot of irons off te’s you’re just playing for positioning a lot of the courses that I play in the PJ lanks events they’re not overly long but strategy and placement that is what is really needed now unfortunately over the past few years that’s not really be my strength but this holds a classic example of how I’m trying to improve so an iron off the tea a gap wedge onto the green Leave myself a good chance at a put which of course I’m going to roll in had the ball you got the line ah well another PA so a tough hole coming up here out of bounds off to the left hand side and a huge runoff to the right just a drive an eyeon off the te which I put in play for this very reason because it is a course that needs a lot of these driving irons off the tea I’ve got a full bag an Armory back in the studio of different clubs I can put in for different situations and it just felt like it was a driving iron day took this one a little bit was kind of a little bit wored it might have got near the out of bounds but it was absolutely fine in the end and it just left me a wedge into this green so even it’s over 400 yards I can still get it out there enough with a driving eye to just leave myself a pitching wedge in I had to bend it around this corner a little bit I didn’t want to be too aggressive because again there’s out of bounds after this green so I just played for this Center was maybe a touch tentative but again early in the round I don’t want to make many mistakes it did leave me however with a long P all the way up the hill a double Hill in all honesty there’s a big Ridge in the middle of the green and then at the end of the p as well it was all the way up the slope fortunately held my nerve and hold a really good parpot something I’ve been working on and something which needs to contines throughout this year another driving iron off this te just trying to get it in the Fairway and that would leave me only about 80 yards into this pin unfortunately again just being slightly on the safe side not wanting to bring any danger in so I just flared it slightly out to the right but again there’s no problem here there’s no harm there’s no foul okay 95 to the front I one pin don’t want to be short it will roll off to half of 54 just slightly behind 10 footer back up the hill would be absolutely excellent came out so weird so weird on the ball flight then hit the fairways so it’s a misted green with a wedge and a saying which is becoming popular that is like missing your face with a fork however a really nice chip here rolled it up to pretty much a gimme distance but as this is the Quest for the open and as this is a stroke play event I’ve got to haul everything out now one under through those five holes playing pretty consistent not really in much danger not in danger of shooting massively under the part at the moment either but just Treading Water I’m there I’m thereabouts I’m playing some decent golf and I’m hitting some good iron shots as well this was raining down on the pin and ended up just being short of the green and leaving me with a tricky Tupa got to get it high enough P SL on that come on sit down sit down ah just not why I visualized I know get get what you give us what Pine come on 66 there the back need to land this a little bit short and left come on pick your shot just missed that Landing Point again distance good on think not quite firing on all cylinders yet getting there keep believing come on stop believing hold on to that Fe e e e ly he hit bull come on just shoved it of it and pushed yeah not hard enough on it yeah be right probably just left side CH h slightly right to left just a fraction move right decide what you going to do I think pxg not the pxg just be good close Sit Stay Out ah level P one shot at a time let’s keep it going cool car pre- slightly shots B off did you pick that up on the mic almost R in my mouth that is long okay 140 middle 152 back pins back up SL was going to go left want a massive swing at it all chippy nine a to fly this about one four five in between the Trap and the PIN hook ment of course management 101 use the slopes just got to use the slopes I’m I’m change I’m changing the sponsorship rules double pie got to be a double pie it has to be okay six holes to go you are too overp too over power let’s go back to Level 36 downhill into wind [Music] so that’s another birdie and another pie in the bank but rather concerningly the offer of free pies was sending the pros into a birdie frenzy and back at the clubhouse they were getting handed out thick and fast but what I really needed is a strong finisher three underpar I wanted to try and get to about five I thought that would give me a chance and I hit a drive here a little bit left and it just put me off my kilter a little bit taking some beautiful divots though and give myself a chant at a birdie even though it did dive off to the left hand side the next hole again I tugged my driver and put myself in a little bit of a spot of bother underneath some trees and didn’t manage to get it out I actually hit a tree route here and left myself an awkward pitch into a firm green didn’t judge it well and it ended up running through but a steady tput gave me a bogey heading in the wrong direction I managed to get a good driveway here but that left shot was still a little bit in my mind and something that I do need to work on I left myself just a flick over the bunker here but the PIN was so tight to the front of the green I actually managed to get it a little bit beyond and that was absolutely fine good put again but just slips to the side I can maybe feel my chances of winning this event slipping away but that’s no excuse for bottling out of this t- shop out of bounds left I sprayed it off to the right with my driving iron and was forced just to chip out sideways and wedge onto the green now this was a exceptionally good put probably one of my best of the day that just didn’t drop so I needed an absolute Miracle on the 18th to get anywhere near queue up the driver ah [Music] cheers boys thanks for that what a day wow Che cheers thanks for that mate well play Bud well done Che thanks we have a recap on the balcony shall we see this that this is a sympathy pie all the pies have gone by the time we got in so Phil who’s won the event again has just donated a pie congratulations thank you very much my God I can hear it so in your brain that was genuinely a very good bie my God so hungry but so round is over and Phil Kelly won again with a 66 I’m in tied fourth with a 70 and two onar that’s the first time I’ve broken part in a comp uh this year so that’s good it shows a bit of progress I think overall today the whole point was just to stick to my routine try and get into this mode where I’m not getting too flustered apart from a few poor puts I think I managed to do that but this is only half of the video we have another comp which is happening on Monday which I need to go prepare for and the way I’m going to prepare for that is by going to play Lee Westwood what a world we live [Music] in enjoy yourself oh well so here we are second comp in 4 days I think might be a new miracle and I’ve been using a slightly different poter mostly to test out this so this is a new grip and it is reverse taper you know what that means simple simple stuff but I’ve been testing it on a different putter cuz I didn’t want to put it straight on this putter to begin with but I think it’s past its probation so this is the real test if the putter that I want to use this year can work with that grip if not I also have another putter in reserve which is going to enjoy [Music] [Music] okay 81 yards into wind before half a swim keep it low this is my 100 yard Club so straight down so over the front nine here at not end you’ll see how my frustration begins to build as things don’t quite go my way but stay tuned because I managed to rain it in get it back and push on to do something pretty [Music] cool oh do hate this hole so I’m not sure I’ve actually ever played this when it’s not been into a howng go oh you got to get that Ridge there feet it’s always going to kick right yeah again very safe don’t matter which one does it does not matter rack them stats up 76 clear the bunker 93 pin get off it wind get off it wow oh wow it’s huge wind must be more that way it’s not over it help me out nice C it too clean as you can uh probably tell here by all those shots that’s how about that’s another Power that’s what bad line on a second shot come on keep going whack well positive news driver looks like it’s working behaving itself being a good little boy good little sausage come on it’s a poor shot poor shot but keep it going just that up slope a little bit more and they were short I just done all around bad shot too literally zero redeeming features of the view is getting a bit better that’s not too bad try to sneak away yes tried to tricky actually hit him said down sit down is the okay those are me PA fives [Music] think he’s good man bad mistake on a par five again even if it’s just hitting a like a iron that I knew was going to be sh of it going be an iron in for my second I didn’t need to hair dry it’s so slow need one of your seps D so as you can see three over not great and when I hit myself on that green with the putter it reminded me of something it was something that I used to do as a junior when I was rang GRE when I was frustrated I used to whack myself on the back with a putter I I don’t know what it was achieving but it felt like I needed to do it at the time and that reminded me of my lesson with podre about just being a little bit more humble understanding that I’m not going to hit great shots all the time I’m not that good of a golfer I can’t be arrogant enough to think that I am that I’m going to play great shots all the time so I managed to unleash a really good drive up this part five it’s back back to back part fives here at not end and then when I got to my second the green wasn’t in range with the three-wood so I thought you know what I’m going to wa driver off the deck the Li’s good I’m going to go for it there’s loads of room out to the right hand side if I missed and that’s where I ended up putting it now this pit shot it wasn’t my best like it left me about 30 ft behind the pin and you know for a 60° back into wind it wasn’t that good but I went through my routine I really focused on the line imagined it going in and it did it dropped in the front door and I even managed to get a little bit of a hug here off the pro from not 10 Johnny so that really put me in a much more positive mindset I felt like I could have a little bit of a bounce back and to be honest it’s tough at not 10 like when the wind blows It’s Tricky managed to get a good shot on the par three set myself up another barely chance and then whack to driver very very difficult angle here across the corner of the bunker but managed to knock it to about 18 foot and give myself another good chance of a birdie which just slipped by but I felt that things were looking up yes too a work today work to do we have work to do for lot of walking in front of that Trac do you want to do that cheers better love that Shuff of Shuffle did not appreciate that 50 mph gust as I was taking that back sh first time felt the force of it as I took it Wy back very safe very safe come on man it’s only still got a lot of work to do still got a lot of work to do just didn’t just going commit to it come on come on come on come on really how does that stop so quick good point actually a very good point good grip just a little sunshine I need a little time to make you m I can do all of your tricks it do it I can get you all your kicks feeling like a roller coaster come and take a ride with me so TR to go down faster join me for a cup of tea remember those lows when you got me high both feet on the ground then we touch the sky and me just a little Sun she oh you stupid come on P Splash left of the pen so I release out yes wow how did that stop so quick oh do with a touch more release on that little bad boy [Music] W what an up and down that is that is in my top 600 up and downs this year yeah thanks well T shot just over half a 60 one that soft yes no pressure no hoody pressure lads three birdies on that all three so unbelievably I’ve made my way to the top of the leaderboard but I didn’t know this at the time I don’t want to look at the leaderboard as I’m playing but I just need to finish under par and I will be the outright winner of this event St knew stri [Music] [Music] H held on to [Music] that not got the flyer big kick jeez think I might have found a wet patch literally only puddle on the entire go was an ideal [Music] okay right to left just a touch down wind how about you hit the ball harder than that [Music] messy messy finish um I I’m want to look at the positives and say it’s a good sign of where I’ve come in the last few weeks cuz I’m um I’m really really disappointed to be honest with the level p uh that b gun the last always leave a sour taste in the mouth there’s no doubt about that I thought the putter was pretty good um that felt nice I do have this to give it a little bit of a go I’ve done some preliminary testing with it and it’s been good start the ball very much online it just looks very weird obviously having that level where I’m at now which is pretty much around level and doing it in comps absolutely vital if I play like that score like that in open qualifying uh regionals I’ll probably get through but it’s then final qualifying like I’m going to get nowhere near I need that ability to just drop it again to get that a little bit lower um which is just holding more puts it’s getting approaches closer it’s just been better in every in every Department including mental game so that’s where we’re at that is where we’re at guys thanks for watching this quest for the open video hope you’ve enjoyed it it’s nice to improve so many shots in one week and I do feel like my game is trending so there’s big positives to take I’m just really annoying really annoyed by that bogy it’s like the most frustrating way to finish right I’m going to go have a hydrating beverage see you next time [Music] so I’m happy um and at the same time I am Bally disappointed I am joint first place with a 69 if I have pared the last I’d have been first on my own however because there’s no countback in professional competitions it’s just a one day event this counts as my first win of 20 24 thank you very much I really appreciate your kind words in those comments and all the likes and the subscribes of course to the channel um no in all seriousness I mean it was a little bit of a disappointing around it in some respects because I just hit some bad shots at some bad times like that par five for example was just a stink when I hit it into the water a terrible shot and then a bogy on the back of it however overall I’m trending like I’m moving in the right direction last three times I’ve played I’ve been two under one under and today was level shooting some decent scores and definitely getting better mental approach again need work putting is okay so yeah positive signs but still work to go shall we end with like a moody album cover yeah okay see you next time come on
