[Music] what am I wearing this is ridiculous today I will be attempting to beat GM Golf with a hickory set of clubs this is the hardest challenge yet I can’t believe you guys made to do this there’s life I think I spoke too soon Garrett what’s up brother how you doing I’m good man thanks for this is crazy a different look from Bryson today we’ll say that just a little bit different you know hey good luck to you we are going to be playing stroke play yeah yeah and to make it a little bit fair if I swing it too fast with these things they’re going to break and these things are artifacts I don’t want them to break so we’re going to be using this just for the drive everything else is Hickory no glove today by the way oh my gosh all right got my challenge cut out for me today I’ll take that that’s a good start nice right off the middle all right I got a normal golf club from 2024 beautiful say a little right yeah that’ll be nice young sir thank you thank you do you have any like really old golfers that you uh ever watch like footage of or Sam Sam sne to olden days um obviously Ben Hogan oh my favorite Bobby Jones obviously mhm and what else Ben Hogan was always my favorite yeah Ben Hogan’s the best man is there only one answer to who the goat is is there only one answer in your mind what are we talking about now I’m saying like the greatest of all time golfer yeah I mean if I’m being dead honest for the span of time not not his whole lifetime for the span of time tiger was the greatest to ever play the game oh yeah I I thought you were going to say something crazy throw like a crazy hot no no no no no no no no but Bobby Jones was the one that initiated had obviously completely different clubs yeah with our technology you never know how he’s going to do right you never know how he’s going to compare it Jack Nicholas for his career was the better so I look at it that way Jack Nicholas was the better for the career that he had so overall in his overall and tiger was better in that time frame okay we’re 130 um yeah we’re just going to see how this goes this could break please don’t break that’s lowkey kind of pure first hole he got a bunker shot maybe oh over it okay I’m all right that’s fine I will take that I’ll take that it’s way better than being in the bunker so how much of a disadvantage you think he’s going to be at today well I did a similar challenge which I think is already uploaded on my channel and in that I just couldn’t feel like I had any confidence to hit the Fairway like put the ball in play I was using a wooden shaft in that drive driver so it might change it a little bit but that’s the thing is if Bryson can put it in play if he can get confidence put it in the Fairway 101 what’s my name today what’s that what’s my name H what’s your middle name James Sir James I like Sir James Jam Sir James James to that is your name today sir James all right I like that that’s nice sit down I think it’s good don’t spin oh a bit of cherry on that one H spun a lot had some riage on it Jaye you’re rooting for Bryson on this one aren’t you that’s yet to be seen I’m going to see who’s winning first okay I’m trying to be very careful with these clubs but I don’t know how this is going to work literally zero bounce it’s actually a knife negative bounce that’s not bad what a shot what’s that Loft on that club like how what is that butter oh it’s like a 45 Dee nice aying power it’s called a Niblick all right I think this will be my first partt I make all day have confidence what in the that’s okay good lag yeah it’s fine good speed I guess sir that’s good thank you sir appreciate that sir James yeah Mike nice well this would be a nice par save all right this is for a big par here from Bryson up looks good I have no idea how this is going to react just going to give it my best turn that’s fine close that’s fine that’s a nice bogey unfortunately start off you’re just get to feel for him though yeah you got to get comfortable with them it’s like a little warmup this is unbelievable how did people play golf like this this thing is I almost want to pop with my driver this is by far the hardest challenge yet cuz I don’t have a full bag of clubs and all these things I have no idea what they’re doing the bounces aren’t right just it’s not even a golf set is that good yeah oh nice good ball that looks like some cheating techn there yeah well actually that should be good but who knows I I’m pretty sure that’s the perfect line like you should go right over that bunker pretty much let’s see what uh Sir James here has today got to time it up with these whippy clubs I mean dude I I think that’s perfect I guess it just depends on how far this club goes we’ll see I think that’s okay with your driver I know that’s money but we’ll see smoked it too I’m going to use uh the driver again here actually because um this thing went about 260 and it needs to go 250 so I’m going to take it just a little bit off here I don’t know where to actually go though gett you kind of so Bryson you see this like Shack right here you kind of want to go like right over this Shack yeah I’m trying to see where the flag is it’s going to soft one of these be good no that’s so good just sit sit sit sit sit sit that could be absurdly good be unbelievable actually oh my Lord 223 got to go high cut for in here up around this tree see what we can do okay okay that’s pretty good just give me a putt yeah I think we got an eagle look there good shot thank you thank you oh this is going to be tough today guys this is not going to be easy it’s it’s definitely going to be harder if I’m playing decent swinging it pretty well but low key we might both birdie we’ll see yeah we could yours could be like so absurdly good on that it may be and I hit it soft too it wasn’t like I hit it hard it was a cut it was everything I wanted it was like exactly where you want it’s wet enough should have stopped I hope so hopefully it didn’t hit the clubhouse yeah right see there’s me on the left oh my gosh you’re great catch a sliver of it too the green bro what a shot dude an eagle with those clubes would be insane oh my Lord let’s go Sir James I’m on the green with the driver out of the rough that’s a pretty nuts start this is for Eagle right here an eagle from this distance with that putter would be historic one for the ages right here come on let’s do it let’s knock it in got place about 42 ft let’s see if I can make this right here do it come on break right come on come on break right that was a good roll dude what a putt I’ll take that any day give I’ll give you that Sir James he’s going to give me that we’re playing match play now nice birdie thank you that a clean birdie with a hickory set right there here we go be nice to make a little eagle here come on Garrett find it find it find the find the cup oh my gosh and I rammed it there some a good pot but not good enough some meat on that bone I’m going make you putt that one normally I’m generous but I’m pretty severely um you’re kind of down bad right now I’m down bad I need everything I can get yeah beautiful a little push but put it went in yeah hey good hey thank you job good birdies too what was that see I’m not meant for this new era this new age is new tech this ain’t for me you’ve never discovered this thing you don’t know what this is this is not for me I don’t know all right I’m one up that’s one under to even good birdies from Bryson and I I’ll take that bird little part five to be honest it’s kind of a hard hole I’m just impressed Bryson hit it in two I’m going to swing hard that’s what I got here I don’t know if it’s going to work but it’s almost reachable it’s a little into the wind if it’s down it’s it’s reachable today it’s probably not quite but got a driver par 4 oh no go go go that is everything I got that might be really good we’ll see okay it’s probably like front bunker if anything but I rode the wind hit it as good as I could have took some spin off it we’ll see what should be fine uh it’s just in the rough over the right you’re fine jez this thing keeps missing to the right I can’t get this thing turned over it’s not an easy thing to do there’s not enough curvage on the base for sure for that speed well I’m going hiking out here can’t allow golf carts out here I don’t know what this rough rubbish is but it’s okay I see it over there we just got in the in the Sheep grass over there not too bad of a sheep grass lie probably not going to spin too much but we got about 110 yards if I don’t say so myself it’s pretty good Chase it’s uh out of the the brush and a decent lie actually wow teed up pretty much 107 100 yards nice little drawing there just under full [Music] no oh my gosh that went forever wow okay right in the crap with this stuff again this is not going to be an easy day all right a little Flopper just short it was tracking but not quite enough gas in the tank to get this to the green so 60° kind of need to just flop it up there a little bit get this up and down oh ah Garrett too aggressive with it kind of scared of leaving that one short make a putt well this is a massive moment right here got to get this up and down this Ball’s going to roll quite a bit How firm this golf ball is and no grooves let’s see if I can adjust correctly pretty solid okay not bad that’s actually very impressive back there I’ll take that all right Chase left to right down the hill for the birdie got to trickle this one in you trickled it short oh I’ve not made a putt all day literally all day no you haven’t oh my gosh Garrett what are you doing gar I’m still going to use new tech though right here lining it up that’s cheating I wonder if anyone did that back in the day had a line on their ball yeah what they have like WR like a pen I guess I don’t know would that have been ink pen a quill quill it’s called 10 ft all right come on [Music] come on go go go no how does that not go how is that short I thought for sure that was there I thought I made it dude I literally thought I made that Sir James Sir James is back to one over son of a gun damn Sir James one over to one under that’s brutal is that through three holes though six one over one under 20 of golf still six holes left lots of golf one over to one under 146 146 okay let’s see I feel like this one’s going to be the play 146 36 or 46 what did I hear uh 46 46 all right you know what Garett I think I decided I’m going to root for you here no way what is it cuz I’m winning he’s two up bwagner I you know what I declined after uh earlier after last video I declined it’s got to be into yeah oh yeah 45 plan 50 shot I got a nine iron what club do you have an iron I’ve got an iron an iron something esparosa goldi product that looks beautiful dude jeez good shot thanks wow okay might be a hair short but we’ll take that 50 shot here thank you thank you that’s how team G does it ooh that’s on the green that was so well struck that was nicely struck feel like that sounds better than a new club that’s a five iron turn to a freaking eight yeah it’s like an eight I have to swing slow with it too that’s crazy yeah good shot by the way thank you what’s your what are you setting as your goal today you have a goal if I could somehow shoot par oh my gosh I would I jump in the air probably three over today three over good reasonable I feel like I’m one over I could see you getting back to even oh yeah if I have the right yeah right hole I don’t don’t miss it shots I could do I can sh hey if I shoot under par though this is unbelievable actually with how much slope there is and I haven’t seen slope like this in a while no yeah literally these green are heavily undulated SL I mean the greens are pure and typically they’re really pure but they just recently were air rated so air slightly more bumpy today I don’t know what this new tech is right here you know it’s aerification yeah you’ve never seen this huh nope you out here have no idea what it’s about these are probably faster greens than you’re used to back in your day these are slick slick no way no way oh my gosh that have been sick Oh I thought you did it good roll ah thank you all right Chase we’re two up two up this is to take it to three and just kind of expand our lead a little bit I’m done using the line of my ball I’m just going to kind of trust it cuz the greens are you know in in the shape that they are oh that’s pretty dead straight pot not your best roll yeah I mean all right here we go I’ll take a par there that’s a par not bad not bad have made zero putts today me too we haven’t made anything today tough Trend nope it’s all right we are you’re one under I’m even yep all right so two back five holes to go I can still do this I can still beat I’m one over bogey birdie bogey par made a par well starting to sweat now these big old overalls I think I’d be in overalls today genuine question say you’re in a live tournament you hting driver here uh yeah with how straight I’m hitting it yes yep I was like kind of wanting the opposite answer I was like cuz I have bad course management maybe that was my well it depends on how confident you are with your driver right if you’re not confident then don’t do it but it’s all up to you yeah if you’re feeling it you might as well rip it that’s right is that a good good shaft mhm oh that’s funny I like that we’re doing a uh Ventus next which will be cool vent yeah I got a nice steel 1960 shaft right here yeah what thing is that it’s Spalding oh no might be left of everything it’s tough to say I don’t know all right see what uh so James hick can do on this shot it’s a tight hole this is not easy oh sit ah sit yeah that’s fine I think it’s all right totally fine over there all right all right going on a little bit of an adventure here Yep this is tough this is never a good sign when it’s cart path only and you just see two guys walking with a whole set of clubs all the way across well sorry to Bryson but I am in a perfect spot here pulled it so far left have like a perfect angle at the pin 160 so downwind that I think I’m going to hit a full PE wedge might have to kill it to get it there but that is the perfect window it really is I killed it I think it’s just a little long that’s good though yeah just long that Ridge 20 footer for the birdie I guess I didn’t need to hit that as hard as I thought I have no idea how far this is if I get that I had 160 there okay 160 159 probably 140 you probably 150 148 maybe now having to try and shot shape a ball with those clubs yeah seriously that’s tough 140 right here up in the air throw it up over the trees let’s see if I can do it what a great Lie by the way be so good be so good someone zoom in on this ball yeah I thought that was going to go in that was so good God I’ll take that any day sir James Sir James hick good shot birdie look thank you I’ll take that three four five six seven eight all right I need to make this to get back to even par 24 ft you want to you want to go first uh who is it I I’m 24 I think just I think it’s just you okay yeah I’ll go that was a great shot over the trees by the way yeah thank you just hair right a little too far right um up the hill hair right to left still haven’t made a putt today so hopefully this is the one go go go go go oh that’s a good roll though that’s good speed thank you nice job close close close you’d want to fall 24 ft a let’s knock this one in oh good speed though I have some good speed with this right now I have to say you’re rolling the putts better than I expected with that part me too pretty solid yeah five still two up four to play well it’s one two three four five yeah it’s five holes five holes for to play short part five is a short part five I can get it back right here so you’re one under I’m one over mhm this is an easy par this is an easy par five for you you should make bird though it’s pretty much all about the t-shot hit one kind of ride one ride a draw over by the bunkers and hopefully hit the Fairway that’s the goal hope for the best here yeah that’s what we wanted that’s beautiful dude the draw that sets you up for Success quite nicely man it’s what we needed quite nicely oh that’s tough I’ve not been driving this thing very well got turn it over that’s the hard part that thing’s not moving right to left no sit down put it sit oh yeah I’m fine J Christmas fine over there this thing only goes right hey literally you you have not gotten one to not fade I know I last to I I pulled it a little bit but I feel like I D hooked it so I got lucky you almost have to like try and I I feel like it’s going to dive bomb if I close the face too much oh yeah just play that cut maybe aim left that’s also kind of hard to trust though over the water yeah right over the water I’ve never used it before this is unbelievably difficult the challenges that I’ve done recently have been so difficult do you rank this number one yes by far not even a question really yeah even over the small small clubs uh well actually no no no that was but it still like was that’s technology play I could play it you know that was kind of my thought Pro like I could still play that they’re both right up there those are those two are the toughest challenges so far I said the key what I told Chase I think the key today for you was what I said was the driver if you can hit the driver in the Fairway it’s another you go you’ll be fine 190 playing like literally 170 okay 170 got to hit this hard that should be fine yeah go left maybe a hair short if anything but that’s a good shot I’ll take it good layup this is the hardest challenge yet I can’t believe you guys mean to do this can’t see the pen it’s like where the telephone pole is that’s what I was thinking oh it’s right of that even oh wow wow okay this pin is tucked right 129 I got a 56° this might not be enough Club but if anything you want to be a hair short oh that’s way left golf is so much easier though when you have normal golf I’m just looking at that envying use all yeah all day it does feel nice like going through the turf and not having to worry but here I got it shocking my hands all right this is a crazy play but I got to go over the apron or like whatever you want to call that the uh Fairway grass whatever it is instead of putting it I’m actually going to chip it I’m on the green but I got to chip it cuz I’m so far over here try to little do a little pit shot here just nip it utilize the bounce no Garrett I needed to carry it past the ridge not in the Ridge and that’s what happens when you don’t do what you want to Garrett just open the door for you oh my gosh actually I had to chip it okay okay I want to make this now dude an eagle right now would go crazy don’t do it oh don’t do it you have a te K Boro yeah give a te real quick I’m going to knock this thing in that was a great throw oh he’s starting to fix divots you know he’s getting serious now it’s getting serious now here you go 18 ft oh my gosh shoot that was such a good roll nice thanks I’ll take that oh my gosh he made it no way the only partt I’ve made all day even part A two under Dam good birdie hey thank I got to give it to you that was a good birdie nice job on these greens uh trying all right Chase who are you rooting for whose team are you on I’m on your team see I don’t know if I should accept you or not after the last round uh we got a par four a little bit downwind three holes left two stroke lead this hole par three and then driveable par 4 should be a very interesting finish here um yeah come on modern tech yeah I know it’s kind of like cheating or something oh that’s beautiful you’re striping it now gosh darn it I swung hard at that one I’m going to swing hard at this one I want to yeah I’m going to swing hard at this one I wonder how close you’ll get to that if you square it up and just absolutely cream it what if I break my shirt could work too put a rip in it I’m going to hit this one hard oh yeah right side I can’t get this thing to draw yeah you’re try I can tell you’re trying to get it to move and think’s going this is what it was like trying to use a driver for the past 3 years barely Mish hitting it would just go off the face of the Earth it’s a normal like normal driver yeah like yours at my speeds when I barely Mish hit it it would go off the face of the Earth like that so I had to be so precise it makes sense to it good and now with the crank driver with the driver that with the driver th this new driver the crank it’s literally just able to feel like what you feel like when you miss you feel confident right way more confident yeah I actually almost just as far as I mean that’s huge driving accuracy is everything just putting yourself in the right spots is that your number one contributor that was the number one contributor why I started to play better golf not my golf swing not more practice none of that really it was because of the driver 100% it makes sense though 121 here 121 I think this is perfect this is a full this is a full Nick little the wind oh baby oh baby yeah that was a good shot oh he’s on now he’s on it sick all righty here we go 87 yards here Chase wind coming on my back here um yeah I don’t know I just Bryson put one close but if I can put it inside of him here it’ be a clutch factor and might win me the match here oh that looks good though go in go in short it might be short I think that’s really good I think that’s really good I think it might be short I think that’s really good rys I think that’s really good like tap in that’s my prediction I think it’s 10 ft short all right and the pick says absolutely shoot 2 and 1/2 ft there we go good J come on thank you appreciate it very nice golly thank you thank you see the thing with the junior set that uh PGA Tour Junior set it very very much resembles the way that my clubs feel for whatever reason that’s why I play so well with them yes but then everything else that I’ve played with has felt completely foreign so it’s like oh my God I mean it makes sense like these old clubs it’s just nothing in relation to what a new club feels like literally zero 21 ft there Garrett how mad would you be if I made this right now um you know I would actually be pretty happy for you really yeah CU you think I’m going to lose no you know what I’m not going to I’m going to try I want you to I want you to shoot your goal of one under that’s what I’ll say I want to win but I also want you to get your goal oh soft wow it’s good there can’t tell what these greens are doing bumping they’re bumping all right put a good roll on it there’s life I think I spoke too soon there’s life no oh Garrett what the the modern fist bump with a hickory outfit missed it twice he missed it twice actually wait third time’s a charm trust me watch ready here we go miss one on the right one on the left here we go oh I I botched that what a wellplay hole to finish it with a par it’s all right though two holes left par three and a driveable Par Four Anything Can Happen two holes remain two holes remain and I am what am I two down yeah you’re two under I’m even there’s a big two holes right here Anything Can Happen folks Anything Can Happen actually literally what am I wearing this is ridiculous how far is it 165 I don’t know if I can get this there I think I can what’s what are we using there wait wait are you up you’re up oh shoot I kind of liked that fact that you stood up there and you ready to go show me the way you know Noe okay okay I think it’s into the wind here it’s just my guess I got a little eight iron here what do you got there Bryson I’ve got uh it says 5S spoa did yep I can’t tell if this is into or down it’s cross it’s cross it’s just flowing in right now but it’s cross I want that feeling I don’t know what this is supposed to do that’s good that’s fine okay safe shot I couldn’t commit to it cuz I didn’t really know where the wind was but let’s make a pot I want that feeling so bad yeah get on okay perfectly High well good distance control by you yeah you as well you as well not bad not bad I just P I tried to miss it left on purpose cuz I was not about to hit out of a bunker with those clubs that’s that’s the one thing I’m shocked about most today though is you’ve surprisingly had pretty good distance control on just about everything which like you can just look down at it it’s just you can probably just tell that it’s the right Loft just a feel thing exactly that’s all I’m doing and that’s what they did back in the day yeah literally 45f footer here play like 50 60 feet 55 ft okay this is a must mix scenario right here play 45 put 50 feet right here that’s a little too hard whatever got to knock that one in you kind of had to go for it there though yeah a little bit it’s the thing even par two down don’t blame you had to make it stroke penalty really you’re dropping your Club on the green okay yes so you’re not rooting for me d Chase is not on my team no way no way ah good shot son of a gun how do I birdie this one and I miss the birdie putt on the last hole that’s just stupid gosh most like dork yeah feeling nice all right let’s knock this in for par guys I need this to have any shot but I want to break par oh my let’s go with the bumps good T putt I’ll take that that’s pretty good hey well done thank you well done appreciate it I’ll take that great birdie thank you okay now my goal I’m going to try and break par try the last if there was a hole to do it this next hole is drivable I was thinking something over that pot it’s like you’re even par that’s around what I would say is my average me being three under is surprising see you’ve done your job well I’m trying I’m trying it’s close you’ve done well it’s close I’ve made a lot of good shots and putts and just hasn’t all come together today all right last hole don’t do anything stupid now now I’ve been known to do some stupid things off the tea so hope not not make a double on the last I’m going to get this one there by the way I think you will 25 I had three I have three you say it’s 285 yeah I’ve threw it I’m trying to just rip a draw cuz I think driver’s slightly too much [Applause] much oh that was smoked too much draw oh that was that was there too that was a good shot too yeah right there in the bunker yeah not bad enough Club too Chase dang man okay got to smoke this one now little toe ball here would be nice keep the ball in play yeah stop that’s fine though that’s smoked little wedge in from there that’ be fine nothing to complain about not bad there hell key chase we’re doing something fun here dude every time I get this opportunity I do it I’m putting it oh you’re going to putt it oh I want to see this what what the heck yes come on Chase that’s 4 under 39 for team G come on baby that putt was insane thank you thank you that was cool I every time I have an opportunity like that I like to try and put it out of the bunker probably don’t see that in Pro tournaments very often no only a few times only a few times I got to get this up and down to shoot one under come on folks oh no simmer no these things just knuckle out of here I’m telling you this challenge was impossible today I had no idea what I was getting myself into 7 8 9 10 11 12 36 ft to shoot one under he a little harder ah I got thwarted Again by this challenge man good even part that’s still solid bad to upset with that you let me knock this one in nice there we go dude thank you so much that was fun thanks for having me brother that was a lot for me I uh was definitely uncomfortable [Music] but the mustache I look like an idiot [Music]

  1. There can't be anyone more talented than Bryson.
    I genuinely believe, with all this tube golf, no pro in the world loves playing golf more than Bryson DeChambeau

  2. Were these vintage clubs or reproductions? There are a few companies like Louisville Golf that make accurate reproductions. They aren't cheap though.

  3. What is this contraption Sir James keeps pointing toward the pin? I've never seen such a device. It must be some type of magic.

  4. These GM Golf club challenges are the best. Fun stuff to watch! Thanks for the content.

  5. Plus fours big fella..not many can pull it off..but I think Payne would say you look good bro.m🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍⛳

  6. you should do a video where you take someone like me who’s a +40 handicap and try and get them to shoot bogey golf

  7. I'm sure he couldn't care less but back when Bryson was beefing up and smashing it I could take or leave him. Since he got into YouTube and we've seen more of his personality I've changed my tune completely. Now I'm just in awe of his ability to pick up literally any club, cheap, kids, hickory or whatever and absolutely nail it. Fair play sir

  8. I have a hickory set that I paly with once in a while and I keep the 5 wood in my bag full time. You need super low compression golf balls for hickories.

  9. Has Garrett always bent his left arm like that at address? Seems he’s changing his swing weekly now😂

  10. Has Bryson taken over the role as the peoples golfer?!? I haven't followed or rooted more for a golfer since Tiger. So glad you started this channel and put yourself out there. Go win that US Open!!! We are pulling for you!

  11. what's with Grats swing? Looks like he's working through something, and very robotic and stiff. Great vid though, super fun

  12. Bryson is great, but this other dude has no personality. I'd rather just watch Bryson play solo, or with some people with more energy. Or maybe some good young talent 👀

  13. What would it take to get a one hr lesson from you??im 6foot6 260 and have potential to hit the ball really far but I only carry around 240-250. My irons are the same way. I would love to make my dream come true lol. Ty for the content!

  14. Great to see a lighter side of Bryson. These videos appeal to such a wider audience beyond the tour. Great job by both!

  15. I love that Bryson doesn’t take any of this too seriously, but when it’s time to show up and get after it, he always delivers.

  16. Great stuff bro! I wonder if you could just use a putter how would you do? Probably even par😂 Straight up beast mode!

  17. Bryson, how did you and Good Good/Garrett get together? I swear every other Good Good Golf video has you in it. BTW, you and Good Good have gotten me interested in playing more than on round a year. I am hoping that I can start counting strokes rather than balls lost, soon.
