 Now, I think one elements of the game that separates the kind of really good players, to the the average, let's say, is often their short game, where we can really capitalize on our lesser performance off the Paris qualip domain. Aaa, estei I am fogolf, I am on that par 3 course, I rarely feature this course probably even ignoring it at times it's got nine small little greens all in and around 100 yards the wind is blowing the question is and the challenge is is how many of these greens can I hit playing nine holes nine shots comment down below how many do you think I will hit and I'm going to go for do you know what I'm only going to go for five out of nine these are tiny greens wind's blowing it's tougher than it looks right you're starting off hole number one 115 yards the wind is howling up there I'm going to guess that looking by the direction we've got a little bit of assistance I'm going with 54 wedge I can't see the the green from here and as you can see from that angle I've just filmed for you it's just tucked away around a little corner often you see a dog leg blank part of three anyway I've got a line can we get this one off to a good start I don't want to feel like because I've gone 54 I want to really go after this I want to try and keep it smooth go and that's a little bit short and a little bit left was zero from one well I should point out we only missed the green by well maybe a couple of yards and it also wasn't short so at least we've got the club right we're just a little bit left on the first hole right hole number two is just 105 you can see from the flag the wind is coming off there coming off the right to left I don't think the wind's hurting so I'm going to stick with that 54 wedge and try and get this one a little bit right of flag right come on go ball go ball go right I think we could be on the score sheet hopefully if it's got enough club on it I think it was on the right line just drifted in a bit and we might have got to that front edge you know the good thing about this type of challenge is that it kind of you put pressure on yourself to try and do good so obviously you know I've got no one to beat here but by setting up a challenge of trying to hit as many greens as I can over the nine holes well that just builds a little bit on that tee box rather than me just carelessly take a swipe at it at concentration level just ramps up a little bit and the good news is we have a ball on the green right so I've got three wedges in the bag and that's a pithium wedge I've got a 54 and I've got a 58 so arguably we're missing one wedge out of there which would be 50 to fill the void but 110 into the wind and off the right you can see from the tops of the trees it's gusting away up there but I like the idea that I can actually see the flag don't be put off by the white flag that's fuck golf but we've got the first green that I can see come on took a little bit off that's right online if we've got the yardage right sit down sit down yes that's another one hit we're on a run or a roll even do you know what I'm swear I'm a better player when the wind blows because well it's another thing that concentrates the mind a little bit so right now we're two from three I'm happy with that okay big debate over this one this is uh one three one I think I think it's pretty much the longest hole we're going to play but the wind is right behind us and this is a real narrow green I'm half tempted to play a pithium wedge and sort of chase one up there a bit a bit more of a lynxie style shot that's what we're going to go with anyway now what you've just witnessed there is uh well just how windy it is right let's try that again nice and easy come on I'm really happy with the way I've played that hope that camera stays up oh stay on do you know what I'll be perfectly honest with you we've missed the green by I reckon about a foot ah I'm really happy with the way I played that one irrelevant to the fact that I can see it now we might even be a foot off with a matter of inches but the idea of being able to play a variety of shots with wedge is something that I really I really like it's something the more though the the greater the variety of golf courses you're playing golf um so whether it be a lynx course or parkland course they often throw up different challenges so to have that kind of lower shot in the bag it's uh it's a good one I'm pleased so I'm pleased with it even though we've just gone two from four and the closer I get to this hole just sickens me just to how far off we missed it or little we missed this one by and I'm literally pin high as well well my biggest challenge right now is uh ensuring the camera doesn't fall over 95 yards wind off the left there's a bit of a dip in the front of this screen and again I'm just going to play a lower um sort of pigeon wedge is what I'm going to try and execute we shall see come on yeah like that and kick on kick on and sit sit sit we've got a green a little bit left of flag but we're back on a green but back on a roll three from five now as ever I really like to hear from you in terms of that comment section so let me know what you think of this challenge but more importantly I want to know what you think of your own game in terms of 100 yards in um for me again it's a bit miss at times it's something I'd like to sort of I'd like to get better at because I feel like that's the area of the game where like I said earlier on in the video you can certainly save um or create what is an average round into a really good round so for me it might be something that I really try and focus on working on this year but let me know is that something is it an area you choose to work on or would you just ignore it and just keep getting that big dog out when you get the driving range right sixth hole so what is it with three from five on we've got 100 yards this is straight back into the breeze see that flag straight into me well again I like the fact that I can I can see it's right in front of me I can see everything no hidden no hidden surprises up there I'm going to go with wedge again certainly in these conditions it's proven to be a better option oh and you're playing well I'm liking that get in the hole sit down now I was right over the flag stick yes with it another green it's probably about 10 yards too long but really happy with that lovely controlled tempo okay so one thing you'll notice one hole seven this is 107 to the flag one thing you've noticed today that I've been playing 107 to centre and that was the point it was about to make I've played everything in terms of the yardage to the centre of the green I've got no range find out to get the yardage to the flag because often again for me we just get a little we over complicate things a little bit by searching out that flag number if you're playing big greens and I mean big big greens then maybe there's a huge yardage difference but for most average golfers if we can hit that middle of the green that's the safest option for us to get down in the shortest possible number and there's a big gust of wind coming again right flag it's on the left hand side but again we're going centre of the green come on we've got a bit of tempo going at the minute it's the right yardage right sit sit really annoyed at that because that's gone through the green by a couple of yards so again we found the green in terms of landing on it but it just rolled through that little bit and because of that I've now missed another green and I was on a roll there it was a nice swing again what's really good about this is a challenge that's where the flag is tucked away and like I said we were going to centre of the green which is sort of this was my line the ball has ended up just off the back there but I will say that it's a very very narrow green and in a good way this is a tough old challenge but the wind blowing the way it is and the greens to being as narrow as that then well I can say okay I'll accept that one right okay so we've got 120 to again what is a long and narrow green and this is a well this is tough all round but certainly with that wind off the left it doesn't make it easy because like I said it's so narrow the green I'm going to go without finding that the sort of like sort of controlled wedge in these conditions is better than me attempting to throw the ball up in the air so again we're going for a more lintsy style shot and we're going to try and chase this one up a bit come on well it's higher ball flight than they intended but it's right online sit sit probably one of the best today slightly different to how I intended I must admit but the main thing is that more controlled swing kept that clubhead perfectly square put it right down the throat of it we've gone past the flag again maybe for the five or ten yards looking from here but I'm happy with that because don't forget I said five from nine I've just hit five from eight I've got a chance of breaking my own target okay so there's the reveal on hole eight probably the closest we've been to the flag well it most certainly is the closest we've been to the flag all morning and as I said from the angle we came at which was this one it's pretty much rolled straight past the hole so we'll take that right final hole of the day in another 128 so the second longest we've played I'm again going with wedge we're into the wind and to be honest with you this might need a bit of a hit because 130 into the wind it's going to take some getting there we're going with wedge again come on this is for six from nine which in today's conditions have been more than happy with oh he's pulled it he's pulled it it's a worse shot of the day oh what a disappointing end to today's video full wedge forced it left and that really highlights a major issue that I've got as well right so that means we finish with five from nine which was my target and I suppose I've got to be happy with that what I really liked about it was the challenge itself really made me focus my attention even though I'm playing golf on my own all the holes like I said in around that hundred we've got a couple there that around the 130 mark but they really start to highlight the problems with your own personal short game and you might start to recognise trends as well as to what goes wrong I certainly know for me when I'm hitting a sort of three quarter swing with wedges not bad to be fair it's when I started a full wedge as we've just done on the last I have got the tendency to pull and turn the ball over to the left hand side so now I know that I'm going to get some lessons and I'm going to really look at sharpening up and why exactly I turn that ball over so much when I've got that when I've got full swing with wedging hand right anyway I hope you enjoyed the challenge as much as I did because like I said that was good fun go out there yourselves find a par three course see how you get on can you do better than five from nine and I'll be doing this again in the weeks ahead and seeing if I can get a little bit better in less windy conditions right thanks for watching see you all soon
