Welcome to another episode of Drummond golf TV and I’ve got two Australian cricket Legends the Starks Alissa and Mitch how are you guys good thanks how are you that’s the I know you two love your golf firstly what your handicap I’m hovering around the five at the minute
Okay M what are you are I’m nine plus tax and going the wrong way so today we’re going to have a different concept and we’re playing Cricket golf all right so we got the rules here I I have to go through them because there Fair few
Rules but we’re going to have some fun with this now it’s all about run scoring um if you get an eagle it’s six runs a birdie four runs par two runs bogy minus two runs and then a double Bogies minus four runs okay now the bonus runs 30
Foot plus putt you get six runs nearest to the pin on any par through six runs sand save and chip in both six runs now four runs is hitting a fairway I’ve heard Mitchie might struggle with that a few times Greens in regulation four runs
A one Putt and an up and down is also four runs now two runs for a 10t plus Putt and a two now this is where it gets a bit nasty this is where you can lose runs right there’s positives and there’s negatives minus 6 but out of bounds I
Don’t think there’s too much trouble around here but I shouldn’t speak too find it minus four runs for a bunker water hazard or wrong Fairway I’d be in trouble with the wrong Fairway too much so don’t wor about that um in two RS minus two runs in the rough or a three
That sounds like a bit of fun doesn’t it I’m yeah I’m excited to shoot under par today there was going to be a minus is’s a bit daunting now what’s your strength and weaknesses if out of this what are you worried about the most I’ll go with you wewood off a te and
Maybe the three so a lot of the red I reckon there’s a lot of okay the red what about you um I’m feeling confident um yeah hitting the Fairway generally I’m okay at so if I can sneak a few extra runs in that regard compared to
Him I’ll be right now I was going to play but happily I’m not now I’m leaving the battle up to you two and I’m the Umpire so let’s uh let’s have some fun with this huh let’s go all right Alysa hole one t-shot one firstly how you feeling over this well
I’m feeling all right but I mean Mitch is just going to take his for IR everywhere and try and get the four points for the Fairway so I think I’m going to go the aggressive play and yeah just beat him anyway love it love it let’s go she has too oh hang on
Stay shouldn’t get there oh I think that could be the bunker that’s a minus four runs I think to start off that’s all right hit it clean you should it didn’t go in there should just hit a l wedge off this one strategy you reckon and you’re going for
The IR yeah I got the four IR my my safety Club okay me yeah let’s get into it nice swing will it catch the fair minus four as well oh that is such a to check this one unbelievable strategic they said fast Bowers were Silly all right Mitch we thought you on
The Fairway but you’ve just missed by a couple of meters minus two to start but your partnering crime here is minus four so you’re up two points to start I’m in trouble over there too so got to hit between the trees do you think you can pull this
Shot off cuz this is the type of stuff that he does he’s like never on the right Fairway or in some ridiculous spot and somehow finds the green so it’s a frustrating thing bad play off the faway that was very positive very me all right let’s do see what we
Got oh that is nice that’s missed the Fairway is it going to go a bit oh oh left right neither Miss green it’s all right that’s okay up and down for Even Stevens now see bun I am in the pot so we’ll go work that
Out all right not good news here but the lip’s quite high as well so what’s your play here you you can’t get there right well I can only just see over the lip so I’m going to go for the twoo Fairway play see how we go lay up and then back
My short game beautiful let’s see let’s do it oh that was nice well done scores two points scores a level good shot I’ll get the bunker he is a really good caddy when he REM she’s in there a lot what a husband Mitch is pretty good at raking bunkers and filling my
Divots you’re a good boy Mitch all right Alysa third shot to the first hole you minus four off the te to the bunker but you’ve just hit a fairway scenario on level zero yeah let’s get this up and down what a game this is It’s a roller coaster of emotions
It’s a nice swing it’s a nice swing done good shot put for par coming up I’ll take it all right alysa’s Square on the hole and she’s got about a 10 footer for part your minus four after missing two Fairways so this is a pretty important
Chip yeah I could snag some back if I chip it in but what are you thinking here what are you thinking here well the safe play is to miss long and try and use SL okay we’re not here for a long time so oh little long still
You still coming back it’s all right still you that’s actually Well Done by you cuz you hate chipping at the minute yep yeah that would have been terrifying you’re on minus 4 sorry to rub it in but if you hold this part there’s 12 points
Up for grabs with a par 10t foot plus part up and down okay we can go through it all but what I’m most interested in here is that you hit the ball left-handed but you’re putting right-handed what’s going on head noise we’ve all got it this is where my game’s
At at the minute okay now I to be fair I when I started Golf I used Duds clubs and he’s right-handed so for a period there I puted right-handed okay and the head noise has got me and I’ve taken one of Alicia’s Putters out of her spare bag
It’s her part too yeah she’s got plenty of them so all right well let’s get rid of the head noise and put this in a hole get some r break oh good break break good good PT mate I’ll give you that take the two points for the
Two so now what minus two minus two – two and actually cuz you got a bogey oh no back to minus four this is for a 12-point lead and an up and down this is for a 16-point lead wa yeah it’s not bad P so that’d be a
Good start on H one that would be after hitting the bunker first shot this isn’t the strongest part of my game so I’ll give it a crack B straight in the middle and she takes the lead off the that’s a great P by the way that’s
An awesome part thank you this is what I’m dealing with okay so it’s an 18 run lead to Alysa after the first hole it does mean that you can make runs up quickly in this game as we just saw uh this holes a short par 4 270 M there is a hazard on
The right I didn’t want to remind you of that but I just have how are we going to play this is it a layup yeah I’m going to go safe play I can’t hit a draw so know my strengths but hopefully Mitch goes for it there’s a lot of trouble
Down there I want him to go for it too but he’s got an ey now runs you need some runs you need Fairways have the honor so maybe I’ll just wait and see oh good good seriously you only got a bird I near hit the bird that’s an easy four runs to get
Off the tea there oh yep perfect four runs what are you going to do let go oh the head’s ticking this is also the best part cuz you can talk him into doing this stuff Haz it everywhere he’s going for the six 2020 what do you get what any runs for
On the Green in one I’ll give you runs in the rules I’ll give you runs we’ll give you a six if you hit the green on on in one in one oh that is just get good oh that’s a great shot could be minus four in the bunker I
Think it’s on the green is it on the green it’s on the green with that that is a great shot six runs he’s back in the ball game what’s an Eagle Six runs as well so you got a chance for Eagle oh just saw your last
Part that’s probably my best driv at Le on it didn’t roll off it could be off the back there’s a hazard at the back it landed on soft greens today right let’s go I’ll just get my shot over D because everyone wants to see nice swing go a little bit go a little
Bit oh in trouble that’s all right oh now it’s coming back come back off the front oh could be stiff sit those 18 runs are going to you might make some inroads here oh but is that technically Fairway not GRE in Ro still away Alysa still mate oh
Go oh I’m in trouble here some work for the part whilst the man over here has driven the green and has an eagle putt for a lot of points a long part though it’s a long part all right so Mitch here has driven the green 270 M
He’s got about a what 35 40 footer and he’s got six points six runs sorry for landing on the green and four runs for Greens in Reg ation and he’s got a six run opportunity with an eagle so this is big could make some a big move here good three part
Two oh I’ve left the way short oh wow wowe is it me or you I think it’s me I think it’s just you oh go put the pressure on it’s a 10 footer too so you get those extra points and it’s for pass so I need it she’s
A good news is that’s a two part true bogy and now an opportunity for a birdie it’s – 2 + 4 – 6 + 10 + 10 go go the good news is you get two for a par but you lose two for a three par so
You’re even Steven yeah I got 10 points off a te so I’ll take that that’s true three p p play the nicely he deserved better he deserved better Easy far all right it’s 22 runs Alysa to six Mitch you just missed an opportunity there but you’ve got the honor here it’s
A par three 150 m what are you hitting at 99 and you’ve got 69 there you go that’s need close the gap you you do need to close the gap let’s let’s do it all right you’re up don’t forget Mitch there are two Mulligans for yourself and
Alysa that you can use if this doesn’t quite get a plan oh no got to me that’s Hazard too I just Mulligan or um we get a mulligan but I mean I feel like that’s on footage so oh that’s pretty that is pretty be
Good go a little bit oh it’s got to go that’s not too bad though nice line little bit short that’s a fairway oh no it’s a pass through count can’t give the fair one so he can use your Mulligan are you going to use your Mulligan yeah I
Need the points so okay I want to redraw same Max that’s so good stay stay there oh short oh oh useful Fair Way no it doesn’t count on a path three better than where I was all right second shot to the path three little up and down for a few
Points a few runs I haven’t um learned I’ve always been told when I play with good golfers that to take more Club than what you think you need and I didn’t learn very nice class 4 foot for p good luck definitely got the tougher
Chip oh here we go listen to it yeah he doesn’t have as much green to work with there’s no doubt about that get up over a little bit oh yeah greedy actually wasn’t far away from being good still mate it is go go come on come on got a bit further than I
Thought the line was spot on we both got tricky putts I think it’s still yours B if you hold this it’s minus two not even for a one po one po oh the one part okay cancels it out that’s true oh it adds two hold on nice mate what are you going
To do when people ride in and say that that’s actually a two cuz you put it no it’s a one po he off the green so I think you’ve scored plus two runs plus two I’ll take that oh SL slidey nice so minus two runs for the
Bogey but a two put for two runs Even Stevens Square so what I get two back then yeah it’s interesting isn’t it how that works this game it’s really just keeping Mitch in it it is Oh
