Now golf is a fantastic sport, I love it. But as most of you watching this will know
0:04
it is also incredibly frustrating at times. Now we're here at the London Club and in this
0:10
video we're going to take a look at 10 of the most demoralising golf shots you can hit
0:17
Let's get started. OK, so right of the 12th hole here at the London Club
0:30
And Jesse's got two options. He can either chip it back out over to the left here, or he can be a bit more aggressive and play it to the right
0:35
I'm not sure there's a huge amount to be gained there. It's par five. He doesn't need to go for it
0:40
Let's see what option he goes for. Ooh, that is demoralising. There's nothing to be gained this way at all
0:48
Well these short irons have been causing Neil a bit of grief of late
0:55
It's a tendency to pull them left of target and he's been working hard on the range, putting
1:00
in the hours to try and sort things out. 150 here, only a short iron for Neil
1:13
It's got 50 yards left. Ooh That is a shake OK so 11th hole here at the London Club tough par 3 Now Jez is here really good drive down into the mouth of the green
1:37
Should be able to escape here with a pie. Just deciding whether to chip it or to putt it
1:41
Pretty sure he'll go for the putter. Oh, oh, he's gone for the chipper
1:47
Let's see how he gets on. Gordon, why don't you just use the putter
2:01
So this is the 13th on the heritage course at the London Club. It's a classic risk reward par four
2:06
It's playing off the four tees today and it's straight down wind. Now, Tappas is a pretty long hitter
2:11
I'm pretty sure that he will have a go at this. Probably doesn't even need driver, so... Oh
2:18
Looks like he actually has something else in mind. Oh no, don't go left
2:28
So that is just what he didn't want to do, iron for safety, found a bunker, now has to
2:32
play straight over the water. So we're here on the 10th green on the heritage course at the London club
2:41
Neil has left himself this 12-footer for birdie after a good approach. He needs something to happen in this round, so let's see
2:52
Well he's knocked it a little way past, but he should have no trouble in just tidying that one up I sure he would have liked it to be just a touch closer maybe but well let see Oh my goodness the horseshoe That is going to hurt
3:15
Tenth hole, third shot. Now, this is a tricky scenario. Downhill lie, tight flag, we've all been there
3:22
but Jez is an experienced campaigner, he knows full well the number one mistake you make in this position is to get too cute with it
3:29
So Jez is just going to play the sort of old pro shot, hit it past the flag, take your chance from sort of 10 or 15 feet
3:37
Very, very simple, no mistakes need to be made. Oops. So it's competition day and Neil's hopes are up. He's been playing well in friendly
3:55
rounds recently. He knows that his handicap should be coming down. This is the day that
4:00
he thinks he's going to do it. He's treated himself to a new glove. He's treated himself
4:05
to a brand new golf ball. He's even done a little bit of stretching on the tee there
4:09
So this is the day where things all go completely according to plan
4:19
Or not. Oh no No It gone left I have to play a provisional Well I see what Neil was trying to do there This is the 12th hole on the heritage course
4:39
at the London club. It really requires a little bit of a fade round the corner and it's a great
4:43
chance, par five. But if you over fade it you're in the trees on the right and if you
4:48
do what Neil has just done you hold on to it and you're up that bank on the left where
4:51
the rough is pretty impenetrable. Right, don't go left. Oh my goodness is that an action replay of the first one, deja vu time
5:03
Are you joking? I think it probably is. Ok so we reached a critical phase in the round here
5:13
Jez has driven into the water and he's now got a very difficult pitch over that water to the green
5:18
Could be a cricket score if he gets this wrong. Hang on a second. Hang on a second
5:25
That's pretty close. He could even escape here with a par. What is the point
5:36
There you have it. That's our look at 10 of the most demoralizing shots in golf

5:50
But that's it for now. Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time
