 A few weeks ago I visited Scottsdale National Golf Club in sunny Arizona, which can simply be described as a billionaire's playground, home to two 18-hole golf courses and a nine-hole roller coaster ride of the course aptly named The Bad Little Nine and a rulebook that is a blank page as you will see from today's golfing attire. Welcome to another episode of Every Single Shot. Everything about this place is quite special, from the accommodation, then it's off to the clubhouse for food and drinks that you would normally associate with a five-star hotel. Fed and watered a quick stop-off at the Pro Shop where you're reminded of the brand behind this golf mecca and an apparel line for both on and off the fairways is clearly gathering momentum. Last stop is the practice facilities which, like everything else you experience at Scottsdale National, is world-class. So we are good to go and on to the first tee with my caddy for the day Aaron ready to help out when called upon. This was my last day of the trip and although starting to tire a little I was determined to get one last round in with a full bag of PXG Gen 5 before my flight home later that day. And I'm pleased to say we got one right down the middle, a decent start and happy to be on the way. So 1.46 uphill I played 8 iron and the flag is at the front, I played this yesterday and went long and there's no way of getting up and down from the back and yeah I made the mistake of coming up short this time round. This one's nestled down, for those interested this is a Sugar Daddy 2 wedge 58 but I can't believe how well I got under this one picked it up and gave myself well at least a look at a par. These greens are light lightning which you'll find out as the day goes on running 14 on the stimp. Next up is a par 5 Aaron points well makes it quite clear where the drive should be aiming and as you can see I pretty much scabbed one down the left hand side. I've got a way with this one to be quite honest with you, if it's a par 5 same line again at that mountain top in the backdrop this time we hit it bang on using a hybrid. Which left again a 3 wood in, quite a distance still obviously the tee shot was pretty poor we leaked this one just a little bit out right as you can see quite a fluffy lie I don't mind the way this one looks but it's pretty tricky not a lot of greens to work with played a 58 wedge popped it up quite nice but you'll see us there at this one for a long time because well this ball's never dead on these greens but again really happy with where this one's come to rest. Give me a little look at a par after a pretty poor drive can we roll it in against that is unfortunately not but a decent roll with the putter but that's a bogey and one over. Right 178 5 iron pin is on the right hand side of the green there's a big slope from left to right if you can find the tier which I did and again came up nice and left 10 foot for a birdie you just can't be really bold with these putts and you've got a kind of look to drop them in at dead weight and obviously get that line right and well I didn't get either but a comfortable par 3 still one over so another par 5 5 20 yards drivers out so much more solid strike the line is at those bunkers the first one it clears comfortably and then runs on quite significantly into the middle of fairway this is three wood you can see the flag in the distance almost got a chance of getting up in two and I did damn good job of getting pretty close but then where this comes to rest is a real awkward one that's a severe slope just over that brow as you'll see from this putt goes over the fringe starts to gather pace but then also starts to drift down the left hand side as well but don't forget this one gives us a decent look at birdie from 10 foot and give me the line just slide that one by really disappointed it was a good effort but we walk away with a par and remains one over after four holes you're met with what's called a comfort station and that's well that underplays it significantly like everything else it's surreal there's everything you could wish for in terms of choice of your snack from ice creams cold drinks nuts whatever and then a full menu that you can order and have someone bring it down to you on the golf course anyway next up hole 5 4 33 yards got the driver going again right down the middle position a and you can see flagging the distance there with a good solid five iron I just leaked it a tad out to the right left myself on the fringe of the green now again you've got the sort of you've got to get yourself over that rise but as soon as you do that the green is running away so it's got to be so delicate with a 58 wedge I flicked it up quite nice didn't manage to get the sort of second tier of the on the green there and sort of pitched into the rise of it a little bit another yard or two and this would have been stoned dead instead you've got a tricky little putt that you're fearful of yet again I'm just rolling this one too quick and aggressively a decent line and a decent roll really happy with the way I sort of putted that and as you can see pretty much a tap in and we uh but we slip back it's a bogey and two over right 158 I'm going eight iron I'm starting to swing a little bit here now loosened up a little and this was such a good iron shop but you'll see when we get down to the green I got a wicked bounce to the right which takes me way off to this right hand side huge slope you can sort of see the shadows in the green show the severity of it as well sloping from right to left quite significantly and you'll see just how significantly where you see where this ball finishes up yeah yeah it's still going it's still going we're quite a distance from the hole for par after what was a really decent tee shot so now again you've got to sort of get your head around the fact that you know we're now putting up hill but again it's that sort of fear factor that just has you a little bit worried and you lay off it a little bit and there's a real horrible one for six foot to try and grab a bogey so seven to just 385 out to play three where I was told to keep it down that left hand side if we can as you can see for the glance behind I was a little worried we were too tight but we just about got away with this one left just a flicking of just over 60 yards 58 wedge nice and easy picked up and you'll see very shortly we throw this one sort of pin high stayed on the right side of the hole which is the safe side but again all about pace you can see I've hardly got that ball rolling and even that carries on just past the hole but fortunately we roll it in that's another par on the card so next up is another par five it's time to open the shoulders a little whilst I'm not hitting the ball brilliant right now I'm sort of um I'm making the most of what I've got which is always a way I like to play golf if I'm not playing that great it's a way getting the ball around and trying to make a score that was a five iron again it's a par five don't forget so all about position I left it in good nick now just a wedging and then again not overly familiar with yardages or what I would play with these wedges so came off that one a little bit only a yard too short really but as you can see quite a severe bunker lip to where negotiate which I did really well I can't see where this ball has come to land at that point I got too much crab Caddy's pretty pleased offered to throw me the ball but I said no no this is YouTube I need to finish these things off otherwise questions are asked you know what you like so last all of the day it was a par three and it's just 135 yards and it's a really guidey shot as you see legs all over the place there not a great tee shot to finish and unfortunately I ended up plugged in the bunker but this is really interesting you can see the flag is on the right of the screen but the arrow that I've got pointing is well left and high where aiming up the bank is the caddy's suggestion so I really have to sort of dig this one out the idea is to play it up the bank it gathers pace and then rolls right down towards the flag you'll see our head starting to turn to the right it's gathering pace and making its way down towards the flag and then yeah my tripod decides to fall over and misses this ball come to rest which was an absolute genius shot but we couldn't make the most of it another pulp missed and unfortunately a bogey to finish off the nine and that takes us to four over but all things considered are more than happy with the way that panned out so Aaron did a great job in getting me round and with not the best swing in the world on the day I managed to negotiate four over and I think from the way I was playing from the way I was swinging I think it would have been more than happy with that and we're on to the back nine and see where we end up with this round at Scottsdale National that's going to be tomorrow night so I'll see you all then and see what we finish up with 18 old score at Scottsdale National Golf Club thanks for watching
