 Right, so something a bit different this week. I'm out in Costa Brava, literally just arrived. I'm at Peralda Golf Course and Winery, just about to show you and what I'm gonna do, basically I think I'm gonna do a vlog every day. So bit of in and around the golf course, a little bit around Costa Brava and try and take you on the same trip that I'm on as well. So I'm just gonna go and have a little look around Peralda Hotel is the first thing I'm gonna do and then I'll be out onto that golf course very soon. This is the kind of bar and restaurants area. It's all pretty special here to be fair. It's very nice. Restaurant down there and then I'll take you out onto this balcony and just have a look at that view. The golf course up there which we'll see fairly soon. Right, so the junior suite wasn't enough for you, what about that presidential suite? Unfortunately I'm not staying here tonight but that is nice, isn't it? It's my idea of a spa. Right, we're on the first seat at Peralda. I'm gonna do a few introductions. First of all, that is James Wilcher, James YouTuber, so make sure you check out that channel and I've got Simon Lewis. All right, yes, Simon Lewis. Remind me of that company name, right? Travel Concept Solutions. Travel Concept Solutions. Anyway, it's all gonna be fairly relaxed this afternoon. Nine holes up Peralda. I'm just gonna film a few shots, maybe show you a few of the decent holes, get the drone up, fingers crossed and hopefully just enjoy the sunshine. Right, so we're just gonna play nine holes here at Peralda this afternoon and we're playing the back nine. This is hole 11. First, I've seen the first hole as well. It's kind of like tight fairways, relatively tight anyway. I think there's, as you've seen from a couple of my tee shots, you can get away with it a little. Greens look good and yeah, pretty impressive start to be fair. This is the first time I've recorded you on my channel, so just make sure it's a decent shot, mate. You ready? I've told them how good you are, so do not let me down. Born ready, mate. Tad left. Golf ball is bruised. Right, so we've been up, it's been an early start, 4am start. James Wilcher, that's your channel name, isn't it? Yeah, James Wilcher. And James competes in world's longest drive, can't you? That's it, yep, long drive. So you've seen him give it an absolute walk just then. It's tough today, mate, isn't it? It is tough. We went out much sleep. I slept in my car last night. Had about two and a half hours in Stanstead Longstay on the back seat. We got freezing cold. I had a really luxurious bed. Did you? Absolutely not terrible. So it's been an early start, no excuses. The course, we've just sort of getting going this afternoon. Loads of golf to come and hopefully be a bit livelier. Yeah, I'm sure we'll be all right after a rest. Right, so Kate, so it is late afternoon and I'm at Torra Morona golf course, so we've said that right. And the first man versus golf hole challenge of this trip, and it's the first all struggle to get anything around Peraldo this morning in terms of time to film one of these things. So we're going to start it all off here. It's a path three, it's an island green, it seems absolutely perfect for a man versus golf hole challenge. I don't know the stroke index. Hang on a minute. Well, it's stroke index six and I'm not surprised. It's an island green. It's 170 meters. So what's that? Maybe almost 190 into the wind. And I really, I've got a three iron out and I don't know whether I'll have enough to get it there to be quite honest. I've picked out an old ball. Enough talking. That's just dizzy. I don't think we need drone footage because it's a little bit windy for me to get that, but I'll zoom in so you can have a good look at this green. I just do not think I've got enough club here. It's a decent strike, but it's going left, which is the longest route. Oh, I'm on dry ground, it stayed there. Right, I'll come back a camera and I'll see if we can zoom in on that because I'm quite surprised. It was enough club and I'm more than happy to be on dry ground to be honest with you. So if we get to the bunker, you should bit wobbly camera work. I've got sunglasses on, but yeah, in front of that yellow marker, is that it there? We've got a ball and believe me, I'll take that. I'm more than happy. There's the hole that we're looking at. Like I said, dry ground, I'll take the shot one. I really did get fortunate here in terms of staying on dry ground. I can assure you are that because maybe I should have brought the camera with me, but I'm 10 feet away from the ducks and this is a little bit of a bailout area. It didn't quite see from the tee. I'm going to take a drop there. There's some seeded GUR. Just drop that back. Right, so right back to you and what I don't want to do is thin one and go along because this goes past the camera and back in the water the opposite way. Things have been aggressive without being too aggressive. Now roll out, roll out, roll out, roll out. Yeah, I think I played it. As I explained it, I was, I made decent contact but then didn't have the confidence to throw it as far as it probably needed to be to try and give me self a realistic chance of making par. Green's soft underfoot. I'll show you more of Torre Merona golf club a little bit later on. The duck wants to get in on the act. So let's see if we can get this Costa Brava man versus golf old challenge off to a win. I've been lucky of late in hole inputs when the camera switched on and I don't suppose that can last forever but you never know. Not a great deal isn't it? I don't think. So maybe write a centre with my eyes shut. That's gone past. I'm a bit too bold with that and a nasty little four footer on the way back. This could be far worse than, I was looking for a win and now I need this for the half. Well quite relieved to get the half because well over did it there with that first put but give it a chance I suppose. But anyway that's off so the Costa Brava man versus golf old challenge starts off all square. This one I'm placed at any better if I was to look back I've literally come right over the angle of the dog leg and it is in position A but being honest about this I was aiming sort of 20 yards further to the left so this is a real stroke of luck. What you perhaps can't see and I'll try and zoom in after I've played the shot is there is a lot of water like I said between me and the green and I don't know honestly I'm going to club all the muscle power to get anywhere near that carry that distance so it's going to be a lay up. I'm going to hit seven iron and hopefully leave something fairly short in but to be honest you're doing really two nice holes back to back there at this Torramirana. I hope I'm saying that right anyway golf shot needed it's hard to switch in and out of this but this man versus golf tends to focus the mind a little bit right and that's looking decent I don't know the yardage to that water sorry no it's bang on that spot on should leave a wedge in happy with that sun's shining a few decent golf shots life's good right let's zoom in so that's the that's where we're going but like I said I had nothing anywhere near that I could clear that with I think a pretty sensible shot I always managed to forget something on these trips and it's normally a piece of camera kit and on this occasion it's my rangefinder viewfinder so I have no idea of any yardage that I'm playing this is going to be purely about what I reckon which is about 80 yards I've got pitching wedge bit of wind in and what I don't want to be is short and getting a watery grave now all that camera switched on I've just noticed a big chunk on mud on the ball and there's an excuse already it's right on contact points as well pulled it pulled it distance looks okay yeah it's grip back end like I said it was never going to be short and just trying to hit that little low flighted wedge you just tugged it a little down the left hand side but to be honest like I said I'm on in regulation and that's more than good enough for me I'm afraid putting has not been great either but six a.m flight this morning I'm blaming anyway stop mowing down here on the sun see if we can get one up close it's a good line this it's a good line it's a good line it's a good line now I've said this far too many times now but I have no idea what goes on in man versus golf old challenge I mean it's almost I mean I didn't even say it but it's like it's just a weird weird thing that happens and I've just drained a pot again of whatever it is 30 I mean I could take another 50 pounds of that and it would not go in so it turns out to be a birdie and it's about six o'clock in the evening the sun is shining and Costa Brava yes I'm playing golf on my own a gorgeous golf course and a birdie is just a bit of a bonus and that puts me one up right so last one of the three hold challenge at Toramorona and the first one at Costa Brava what am I on I'm a hole seven I'm reading over to a board to the left it's stroking next 10 so no shots 353 meters so again around that sort of maybe 380 mark I'm going to go with this three iron off the tee I think it veers we're looking by the little map there it's a bit of a dog leg from right to left so fingers crossed keep one in play and have a shot at this and get Costa Brava man versus golf off to a win it's down the left left bunkers there's a splash so it's left bunker not the best shot but let's see what we can do from there I think I've got a fairly lengthy bunker shot into this green now okay so bunkers fairly flat and I see where it's landed in there directly over the can of trees right directly in front of me you might be able to pick up the flag and I don't know again quite a yardage but I'm going to go the best I can do to pick up this and clear them trees is an eight iron let's see if I can do that a bit different to the bunkers back in the UK they're a bit they're quite grainy and quite a few stones in them as well I'll make another excuse once directly behind my ball right come on just up and over there it's up and over but I think I'm going into another one it's yours no it's gone in nice time to play a bit of golf wind's picked up just a little bit it's gone in front edge and literally I don't know might have made the front of the green but reasonably happy but like I said it's going to need a an up and down not a lot of green there either just going to have to come out quite soft and it hasn't done soft that was quite quite hard underneath that was club completely slid didn't get under that one at all yeah that's quite different than from the bunker I've just played to be honest with you but no excuses it is what it is I think that might have gone out of shot on camera I wasn't planning to shift on 30 foot past the flag but then again this is my distance on man v golf challenge let me know what you think of these videos man v golf I'm going to go out of shot for a little bit yeah it's my way of sort of playing a little bit of golf and giving you a little look around the golf course at the same time so let me know if you think that works or not right here we go I need this or it's a loss so it's in or we're all square that's not got enough and that's not got enough no there's no 30 footer and there shouldn't be a can't keep draining them I'll take one on its own so that was stroke 10 so no shot for the average golfer so Torre marina and I still struggle to say that on the first man versus golf old challenge finishes all square the winner is playing golf in this kind of weather at this time of night absolutely gorgeous in October so there you go I've enjoyed it so that's it so far we'll pick it up again tomorrow when two more courses are out here in the Costa Brava for the average golfer
