 You've all played here before, haven't you? I've not played, no, haven't you? My first time here. We're on the first tee with Lewis, we're about to get a game going. I've got Ray, who is the start of quite some years. I've seen your face a long time here, Ray. Yeah, a long time, yeah. Words of advice for us mate, we're about to go out. Well, words of advice first of all for this guy. He hasn't played here before. I mean, there's wins with you today on the first stall, so there's no problem there, not normally. Your line is just left of them bunkers down there. The first bunk is 180, the last one's 230 to carry. A couple of blind holes. Nine can be blind, this one here. You're playing for them below the ridge. You don't want to be left off the tee on nine. The fairway's plenty wide. And 14 is totally blind. The furthest one away from you on the course, you're playing from the sea down to the railway, when you play that, you just put a marker in on the hill because you can't see any fairway, so the marker just left of the marker's fine. The rest of it is up to you guys. Have a good game. Words are whistling there from Ray, but the rest is up to me and Lewis, so no excuses, pal. Going with the big dog? Absolutely. Big dog off the first tee for Lewis, let's see how we get on. He's trying to spot full, and you know the sky's grey like this, especially off the tee. He only ever goes down the middle, so he's like, you know what I mean? I've got him. Great ball, though. Bit straight, needs to cut a bit, doesn't he? Yeah, might need to cut a bit there. Yeah, good ball. He's out in the middle, aren't he? Yep. I just run out of fairway there. On the channel. Very well, guys, have a good day. Thanks mate, cheers. Great to have Louis back on the channel. We did the Scottish trip up at Gullin, which got a bit windy. Got a bit lively up there. We got cold off, didn't we? Nine holes. Bit of a downer. We're at West Lanks. We've seen Louis in the club testing as well, his expert opinion, but great to have him back. We're going to have a bit of a match. I don't know how we'll do it. I'll try and split it up into blocks so you don't get too bored and this doesn't drag on too long. We've got it easy. There's no wind. Absolutely. Fantastic day at West Lanks. First day for Louis on this course. I've played it quite a few times. It's an absolute, honestly, it's on this Southport coast and it's probably just gets a little bit overshadowed by the big boys. And I say that with all respect to West Lanks. Because obviously you've got the likes of Birkdale up the coast there, but this is an absolute belting course, honestly. Great start for Andy. One, three, nine. Second shot. Right down his throat. That's spun. Well, stopped. That was right, wasn't it? That was absolutely bang on it the whole way. Right, Louis has got 92. When we're driving, I thought he'd gone too long. But he's held on to sort of first cutti and he's got a nice little nice little angle in. I can't believe my ball pitched and I've got so much grip on it. You've got that a little bit heavy, has he? Or is it now? Oh, same as me, Lou. Pitched and stopped. Just a little bit of a false front there as well, because that's disappeared. Put for Birdie here for Andy. Great second shot here in Bang online, just probably a club short. Put for Birdie. All right, race a bit fast. Right, so door open for Louis. I don't know any shot situation, but anyway, this is for Birdie. Nice start. His chip was, like I said, I thought it was false at the front of the green. There was a little dip there. Like I said, I was putting up the Ellen. Balls still rolled on a fair bit. It just fell on the low side, but it's a nice easy start, a nice par. Well done. Oh, it stayed there. It stayed there a little on the way back. I think it was a good stroke. Yeah, I was happy with it. It was where I was aiming. Right, Louis, one shot, one on lead, mate. What happened there? No shots, no shots for the average golfer. One a hole, stroke 10. No, it was stroke 10 that one, so Louis won up. Second par 5. Big dog out. Big dog out. Stroke 6, this one. Shots. He's pulled it a bit just down that left hand side, but that'll be fine. Andy up next, one down. Fair he would hand. Short of the bunkers, I think, in the middle. That was a good play. That was a bit too aggressive, but... Do some balling, will you? Yeah. Great strike. Yeah, good shot. Left hand left side of the fairway. Not my normal play, I'm going to go. I'm going to try this forward off the deck. This is a G410, which is what I just used off the tee. But I've been liking this, picking it up off the fairway. Maybe I'll speak too soon, but I've got 240, what was it? 246, wasn't it? 246. I don't think I can get there, but... I'm giving it a belt. I don't think you're staying left, innit? Great hit. It's okay, actually. Yeah, I think that's in the right place. It's okay, I wouldn't have got there, but... Yeah, happy with that. We're playing a bit downwind today on the first two holes, as well, so life will get tougher, but this is reachable par-5, a Louisette driver, so he's got what, Lou? 207. He got 207, so he's 40 yards on from where I was. I'll pick it up over these few humps in front of him. Iron. Was it a 5 iron or something? Yeah, about 4. 4 iron? Thank you. I'm afraid to just carry them bones in front of the thing. And lie, it looks okay. Oh, he's right on it. Whoa, Louis, that's a put for eagle, son. Yeah. Louis's turning the screw here already. We're in two holes in, put for eagle. Take that after a couple of weeks off because of this now. Well done, mate. Super shot, that is. So, Lou, why do you call yourself the average golf pro? I think it's just that again. Come on in. I can't start with them. I can't start with them all the time, can I? So, Lou, why do you call yourself the average golf pro? I think most golf pros would agree that working in the pro shop, giving a few golf lessons, custom fitting, players would be the norm for our job. Yeah, yeah. There's not many of us that go and play on the tour in the sun, chase the sun for living, play for millions of dollars. I think there's sort of... We have got a fiver on this, so to be fair, mate. Absolutely, absolutely. And yeah, I think 90% of golf pros that you meet are just the guy behind the counter and give you advice, sort of help you with your game, help you with your clubs. So, I think that's exactly what I do. So, I think that's sort of what I'm going for. Fair enough. And yeah, let's just have a spin round with that because we're getting to have a closer. It's not average, that to be fair, Lou. That's a fairly decent put for eagle, it looks like. Even the blinds go on. I'm sat on the bank over there. I think I would have got up, you know, down the middle. I didn't see that bunker there, to be fair. That's not visible from where we just played from, is it? I think you should have played. You should have played for the straight shots, I think. I should have. Yeah, help play for the faith. Words of wisdom there from the average golf pro. So, we're up at the green at the second. Andy's got this third shot into the par five and about a 45-yard pitch shot. Plays it down off the bank very nicely. Absolutely great shot. On a shot as well. Great hole the second, risk-reward par five, some big bunkers at the front. Really nice start to this golf course. Interesting, I've just asked Louis, does he want the flag in or out? He's going for the in option. Comments down below. Who is choosing to put with a flag in at the minute? I find it a bit weird, if I'm honest with you. I can't get my head around it quite yet. Not bad from a distance, but I certainly don't like it. I'll be taking it out for my put anyway. So, this for eagle. Screw turner. Oh, he has as well. I nearly took that back. I was going to say he's got an eagle and then it seems to disappear. Well done. What a great start, mate. Do you reckon? That's a good point, isn't it? In or out? I've just said I'll be taking it out for mine, but I will still be taking out. Great eagle. So, this for the half. Birdie, birdie for the half. Tough skill today. Put for birdie for the half, flag out. Interesting choice after seeing that going. Just fell away. Good pace again. Good pace, unlucky. From a few feet in here, I thought I'd had a chance there. Five. Not good enough for both eagles. Two up. Well, Lewis did say on the corner way over, there's no way I will beat him today at the minute. Words are ringing through. 100% record, two up. Two played, two up. 140, little green. Super little par three. Obviously we're playing it off a winter seat, but still great little hole. A bit of wind picked up. What you want on the links? I love it. Ooh, Louis swinging nice. Swinging nice. Ooh, and that's in that little, they've got these great run-offs all around this, because we're round this up par three. You've got to find the middle of that green. So, 140 down the hill. 9, 9, and? I'm going with wedging, I've got it in my head now. I'm between wedging 9. I don't know whether 9's too big. But I'm going to swap, you know. Ooh. You put that in decision in my head, haven't you? That's it. Did I see you go for wedging and just throw 9 in? I don't know what I'm doing, mate. I'm so confused right now. You've got it in my head already. No, I think it's full 9, mate. I've just come up short there with a wedge. Better be the right club, mate. I think that's a good club. Yeah, good shot. Almost long, mate. I don't blame you if it was. Good shot, on the green. Right, Louis put for birdie. He's putting pretty much everything that's been in regulation so far. But this will be a good two put. There's plenty of work in that. Those of you asking, he's using the Stroke Lab putter from Odyssey. With the reverse grip. He's got this nice. That's a nice pace. Yeah, I think that's a great put from there, Louis. Well done. So we've got Andy here, lining up his birdie putt. Pin out or in hand? Out. Out still. I'm a bit out, kind of guy, mate. All fashioned. It works with the shambo. That's a sign of things to call my thing, that, isn't it? That is a great put. That's a good birdie, aren't it? That is a great two, yeah. I see what tough skill here today. Got back in the game. So, power four. Fourth hole. Stroke six. He just weaves its way left to right. Great hole. And he's got his trusty fairie put out again after a couple of good shots on the power five. I've got iron. I think we can run out of room down there. Off the back of a birdie, he's flying. Just up the left, mate. No, he's coming back. Bang on that. Oh, there it is. Great shot. Right, so back to, got him back here. One up. Sun is coming out. Great all this. Obviously, you gotta say, Louis's not played it, but it's just dogleg left to right. She's coming with iron, I think it's a right shot for Lute. Yeah, that's nice. Tight down that right hand side, which is, there you go. We've got that one landing. Very similar to where I am in that. I think Louis, not too far different. Right, Louis, how many? One five eight. One five eight. There's the, that's where we're going. See what we can do. Not a bad line, not the best. Yeah, nice. Pitched on the front. Well done. Club nine nine and? No. Wedge. I'm on wedge this time. Going wedge. Didn't trust it, didn't trust it like the last hole. Hold it. Good shot. Just a little bit left. Yeah, just over, just over towards the left hand side of green. Left, yeah. That flag was going to help me. Right, so this is going to be the last hole on this part of the video. So let's see if we can get a result one way or the other at the moment. I've managed to get it back to all square. I'll give Louis, Louis is going first, not in theory but keep this game rolling. Super ball, love that, great strike, great swing. Best of the day, Louis, I think. Into the wind as well. Solid. So, stroke eight par four on a stroke ready golf. That's how we like it, Anthony. Nice and quick. Get this game moving, mate. Get this game moving. Good strike. Coming back again, mate, for you, isn't it? Starts up the left. A little bit further left than I'd want to be but kept it down there. See where we end up with. Right, so Louis just said we're back into the wind. That's where we're going. Straight forward enough all, but we're right into the wind. I've stroke eight. I've got a shot here so I've got a chance because I've managed to get two back. This is the deciding rubber on this, on this five hole part of the vlog anyway because we're going to end it after this hole and then go into part two where everybody stops watching. That is pure concentration on Louis' face. He's not letting me have this, I can tell you. It's just stayed out there, right? Sandy is got 146 back into the draft. I think that's what caught me out trying to do too much with it. Back into the wind. Oh, he's trying to take too much off it, I think. Oh, we're trap on the left. You think? Don't make me sure, you know. It was that like you said. I tried to take too much off it. That's it. I tried to give it a low, got too smart. Both of us. Trying to do too much into the wind. Just give it a wallop, I think. Right, Louis. I don't know what I'm going to do either. Come on, Louis. Bit of magic here. He's leaked this one out. We're shotting it today to be fair but he's going to sort this one out with a nice wedge shot. Generally decent of this kind of shot and I love the way he's played that. Sip ball. Bill, whoa. Just didn't grip, did it? I thought you played it really well to be fair. So, Andy in the bunker. Playing three. We've come out all right. Just dug in mate, didn't it? Yeah, steep face. For the four here for Andy. Hope he comes back from there. Oh, it was. Just a bit short. That's good. So, Louis, this is for, so I've got five net four. You need this for the half, mate. Made this one a bit harder for himself after a great drive as well. Give it a chance. Yeah. Unlucky, Lou. You let me back in there after a great start as well. Yeah, tough five there. Right, OK, so that's we're going to end it here over to part two. Please don't disappear because I've noticed in course vlogs everyone joins in for part one. Part two tends to the nose dive. I don't know why that is but we're going to carry on with this. How many have you got? I'm one up. Three on the spin there. I'm one under three five. I'm one down. Hold to play for. Thoughts on the track so far? Great. Yeah, you know I know we're playing off forward, teasing up, but great layout. Lovely views. All the holes are sort of separate. There's no one sort of crisscrossing out which I like. Oh, sorry though. Real good. Yeah, very nice at the minute. Feed bunkers. Open qualifying venue this place so we will carry on part two comments down below and let us know what you think. Good or bad? We don't mind, do we? No, not at all.
