 Right hello everybody and welcome back to the channel for an interesting one. This course is known as the mine shaft, which is basically all about that bunker there that will look at later on in the video. That's also Peter Finch that you've seen filming as we were out for a few days in Scottsdale. So Peter Finch features in the video although we do not play around against one another. This is something that we organised very much last minute as we were about to board a plane very very soon ac sgwisio'r gwahanol arlaeddyd tynnu. Felly rwy'n cael ei pethau hefyd, i ni'r dyfynod, ac mae'n meddwl am ddynnu i'r fforddi. Rydym yn 7,100 ardraig ar yr adax. Dyw i'r pethau ar Ddiddor i encounters, a bydd ag gingerd a gydwyd ddim. Mae'r ardych chi'n meddwl ar y pethau ar y tîm, ac mae'n meddwl i'r prwy. Mi ddak i'r prysgau yma. Ond rwy'n cael ei fforddi i'r peth. Sham! You can go left or right to those bunkers you can see in the distance and I went to the right of them and found the middle of the fairway. So now we're in to our hybrid. Tugged that one a little bit down the left, not overly happy with it but as you can see we've got a nice little angle in. This is a par5 to start by the way. And we're down to a little nine iron, which you can see, the Bull Flight to always difficult to a chyfnodd bydd hyn yr oedd yna'r cwmddian ar y bwysig, ac mae'r mwyster hynna gwybodaeth yn gwybodaeth arall. Gwyd yn ddarpari i'ch meddwl i'ch gwneud hynny a phox i'ch meddwl i'ch meddwl oedd yn meddwl 54 wedi, yn gweld oedd a hynny'n gwybod am y ddiw. I ddyn nhw rydym wedi fwy fwy, yw'r byd wrth gan fwy. Rwy'n oed yn gyfodd y byrdd teisio'n gyda ymchwilogau, 11 o'r stymf. We've got this for par, which would have been a decent start. The canny told me it was right edge and I didn't believe him and I should have listened. So it's a bogies start. Right on to the next hole, it's a gorgeous golf course, proper desert course and again out with driver. This one just leaked out to the right hand side, wasn't nowhere near as good as the first drive. Obviously watched it down but it's okay. It's just off the fairway and being just off the fairway just means you're in the sort of burnt grass rather than the firmer shorter stuff but fine off there when he had a gap wedge in and this is going right at the flag and I'm thinking things are good. Only to see that we we literally pitch where we landed. This stuff is very very soft indeed and like I said what I was thinking we were landing was right on the flag to be quite honest with you. Now I have took the reed this time off the caddy. He's told me it's a few inches right of the hole and you can see that brake, decent pace, decent roll and I think the caddy kicks it in me back does he? Yes he does. So nice four. Right next hole it's a par three that we can't see the green or the flag rather. What I can tell you is 204 yards. The green is as we're identifying tucked away to the left and I sort of gone the easier route which is the part of the green that I can see towards the right and fed one in off the right hand side. It's actually gone through the green and decent look at a birdie because 204 I just don't think it plays quite as long over in the States as it does in the UK and to be honest with you decent roll on the putter but you know straight away on these greens they're so true it started to fall away a little and but a decent par so more than happy with that. Right next hole driver out this is a dog leg the first right and straight off the tee but then it makes its way off to the right hand side which you'll see shortly. Absolutely hammered this drive it did not move to be honest with you just stayed pretty much bullet straight and good position in the fairway and you can see it's two way green elevated green. I've got a bitter downwind but I'm still playing six iron in this is I've got a really good ball flight and a really good line I'm avoiding the bunkers on the left that's the shot I was making sure I didn't play and pitched it on sort of the back bank and this one cambered round and left a good look at a birdie chance probably the best iron shot that I hit all day so again it's really important to get the reed off of the caddies and you can see that break and yeah not only the braking the putter breaking my heart when it didn't go in because I really thought I had had a birdie there so happy again good two put good par four here's another quick look at Pete his driving was absolutely fantastic I've got to say that um you're only going to see snippets of Pete ones I uh sort of decided to be caught of him and me and what you'll see is he's bombing this driver he's a lot longer off the tee than I remember him being anyway what can I do well pretty decent to be fair it's a long way back from where Pete lands but um it's found the fairway again it's a quick pickup of the tee and away we go now this one is blind and I've picked the line didn't wait for the didn't wait for the caddy and at that point when I've struck the ball I've got to admit and I'm hitting three wood here by the way on a par four second shot it tells you how long this course plays talking to the caddy across the fairway and he's now telling me I'm a bit too far left which is a bit of a disappointment what I've also got to say at this point is if I can just stop that there a second is that I had to take a drop out of the bush which is to the left here so this is a a drop probably not in the correct place either but there you go who's counting um or where's the reals ref at least played a 58 degree wedge threw it up onto the middle of the green and um it wasn't wasn't a great shot and really disappointed after such a good tee shot but I suppose it's you know you need to understand where you're going uh but once again you know putted really really well and that's something that continues throughout the the day to be honest with you although pace is so difficult this one rolls by and all of a sudden you're six foot back and a good confident role I would say really pleased with that uh yeah we're sharing putters at this stage because um well we didn't really have a set of clubs to go out and play with at this point it was like I said we were packed up and ready to go back to the airport as Pete just holding out um more whatever I made double bogey um but anyway here we go next tee shot driving on which tends to be the theme of the day these uh yeah this is this is long again uh this is a par five and again quick get down to the pick the tee up and walk on really pleased middle of the fairway now this again is just understanding the line of the of the par five it's a really good um three wood here uh maybe leak that a tad but only a tad and unfortunately when I look back again to the caddy he's telling me and perhaps a little bit further right than I need to be and then yeah this gets really interesting my ball and when I just pause this a second my ball is resting underneath a um a broken off little branch and uh well I take a few practice swings and just trying to get a position over the ball and then this happens and if you look closely I um will zoom that one in on my backswing about to take the strike the ball has moved and I removed the twig so yeah uh bit disappointed but there you go um we eventually sort of chopped one out I'm talking to Pete in the background who's uh finding that very amusing anyway we've got um we've got just over 120 in it's sort of a I've played a really controlled wedge right at the flag and unfortunately I landed right into the top of the bunker which I'm just walking away from now and it rolled back you can see that line rolling back into the position it is so I've got a bit of a back stop here so it's you can be fairly aggressive with the wedge shot and I know that it's going to kill the ball effectively however having said that when I get up there where I realise is the position I've come to it's like an absolute ski slope yeah there's a suggestion at playing it as a uh snooker shot would be a better idea because seriously this is so so quick and what you'll see is when I eventually nudge it down here and we'll talk to the caddie I said this has got to go in otherwise we uh we're going past the old does it go in oh I still feel a pain now watching it back because it's over the lip and that was something that happened on quite a few occasions Pete's obviously had a few to drink there with that camera work but we're back in situ left another nasty little forefooter but again good confidence strike happy with that so take a look at this mineshaft which is um yeah it's a fame it's what the course is named after and there's a special feature coming on peach channel where we both attempt to play from that so make sure you check that out yeah really interesting not many people get out of that bunker is all I can say and the caddie confirm that back to the game we followed up we had a lot of fun in that bunker spent spent a lot of time in it filming it and then we rocks up to what is a sort of 170 yard par 3 yeah pretty disgusted with it really wasn't the best of strikes um but then when I got down there it wasn't quite as bad as I first thought but this was annoying again apologies for the camera position but I'm working on my own so it's a case of uh you can't see a great look at that but you're expecting it everything is so fast that you're so scared of racing everything away so it's um yeah delicate with the chip and then not so delicate with the pot and you just feel like you cannot win so left yeah this went past the hole there's a good eight foot with brake and that's a sensitive one and you see it straight away and all of a sudden you've worked off with a double bogey and yeah should have been a bogey at worst right um on to what is the the interesting of this is the back nine um of the mine shaft course uh so this is hole 17 there's some amazing backdrops the course is in incredible condition um I've kept this one in this another driver Pete which um like I said well you have a look it's an absolute bomb I mean I don't know how many balls he hit over 300 yards but there was certainly a lot of them and it's very difficult when you're paired with those kind of people and then you've got to step up and keep effectively keep your own game as you normally play so swing speed and tempo down don't try and keep hitting the ball don't try and keep up with players of that ability um and I've got to say really pleased another really good drive and this one had just leaked into a fairway bunker which was a bit disappointing but it was a really difficult position that I found myself in um and we're cutting across an angle just caught the upslope of the bunker didn't cause maybe a bit greedy with the loft of club I used um and then to be honest with you it just goes from bad to worse played a pretty poor pitch um the ground here is very much different certainly that sandy area the once you go into the rough is a little bit softer than being on the green stuff and much more comfortable there with a sort of a chip and run with an eight iron is certainly much more my bag so again um as you can see Pete raises hand there thinking we've finally got one to drop because I put it well without actually holding anything which was so disappointing onto 18 we might as well have a final look at uh at a tee shot from Pete um this is a dog leg right to left he's taking on a line over the bunkers uh slightly left of shot and that is that is effectively the tiger line he's bending down picking up the tee walking away and yeah he's hit another bomb so yeah and steady your own pace and make sure you swing within your capabilities which I did um and again so pleased to complete nine holes with some decent ball striking there if not great scoring uh I had I think I left sort of 145 in nine iron flag is right over the bunker I played a safer shot if you like which was taking the bunker out of play hoping that I could move the ball from right to left and I and I didn't but if I didn't I left myself in a good position and safe um so at this point you know I think it was a good play however I struck the ball that well if I'd have gone up the flag and I've been pretty close but there you go and then again you're unsure of that sort of fringe areas to how fast the ball is going to travel across it gave it a tad too much and unfortunately left a um well this is slippery down the slope and also a lot further than you'd want to be for par so yet again it's that mentality thing is the problem just eased off a little and unfortunately that's a bogie to finish but it was a really enjoyable nine holes at Scottsdale national on what like I said is known as the mineshaft course make sure you um take a look I'll keep an eye out at least on peach channel he's filmed a couple of videos from there one in which we take on nine holes on another course one in which features the this mineshaft hole bunker at least anyway and yeah some really interesting stuff so I thought I'd throw that one in there just for you eight have a look at sort of what my game was doing a little bit of a sneak peek at what peach game is looking like and also to have a look at Scottsdale national mineshaft course hope you enjoyed that one a little bit different but uh I thought as I had the opportunity I'd do my best to throw something together thanks for watching let me know what your thoughts are and I'll see you all tomorrow night
