What on earth is going on here
0:01
I'm a little bit nervous here, I'll be honest with you. Your angles are super, so facetiming my granddad
0:06
What do you mean wrong, Tim? It's about eight foot, Dan. That was a shank
0:10
I think we're about to play one of the most exclusive, one of the most unknown hidden golf courses in America
0:15
Yeah, a title-owned facility where we go cross-country, across the fitting greens, which all look about 14 on the stint meter
0:22
and tall-spec greens, and we're about to do something that not many people get to do. This is very exciting
0:27
Very exciting, very exclusive, and it's our first challenge video together. They're actually us playing golf
0:31
Right, so here's what's coming up. Four golf holes on this cross-country course. Me versus Joe
0:36
Joe's giving me a shot hole. Which is generous. Yes. What else is there left to say
0:41
Let's go play one of the most exciting golf courses I'm ever going to play
0:44
Let's get it on. first hole here on the cross-country course is a par four 372 yards we are going all the way in
1:07
the distance joe to the most south-westerly point of tpi play well sir i hope you play abysmally dan
1:13
I wish nothing but the worst for you over these four holes. Thanks, mate
1:20
Oh, my God. That's good. You absolutely crushed it. That's good. That should set up
1:28
Depending on what pin we're actually playing to over that, it could be a bit, you know, with the right angle in
1:32
Could you also bear in mind, Joe, that I don't play a driver anymore? Do I? I play a mini driver
1:36
Could you also bear in mind it's going to get dark soon? Oh, what a response
1:43
Just gonna be direct line. That's inside the tree. That's good. Oh
1:48
Pumped Pumped right let's go Right, how do you feel about your start down? I'm not worried. I'm more worried about my visor at the minute to be honest with you
1:57
You look utterly tremendous with my sunglasses in it. Do you like it? This is genuinely one of the coolest experiences though, isn't it
2:03
We've literally been fit here all day. We've had a factory tour. Yeah, and now we're coming out and playing a cross-country golf course
2:10
It's like basically clearing the driving range, and imagine the driving range you're hitting balls onto is so mint
2:16
that they can make a course out of it and this pins out the greens the greens are some of the best putting services
2:22
I've ever seen in my life. I've managed to find the one tree on this golf course
2:27
1-2-7 Joe. What you thinking then Daniel? 1-2-7, 1-2-7 in this beautiful
2:34
Californian weather, it's a perfect wedge for me. Watch this. I've got to shot a hole right Joe
2:40
That's how every great shot starts with the words watch this. Here for none
2:47
Okay. I think she in play Dan You gone with a low shank there I didn see that one coming That was a shank I got a big 54 here I don really have a club for this we only brought a half set so I going to have to lean on this one a bit which brings Dan shank into play
3:09
Wrong pin again Joe. What do you mean wrong pin? It's about 8 foot Dan
3:15
Stop, stop! I'm in a bit of trouble though. Yeah, we're alright, we're in good shape
3:19
Right, that's not good. What's some sort of hope I can get is that I don't think any of the humans played a golf shot from here
3:26
So it's a first time for everything. I'm a little bit nervous here, I'll be honest with you
3:35
I picked it okay. Just left of target. What's right, Daniel? That filter's down
3:40
I've been giving a clap from Jacqueline, so I think we're all right. Take that. Right, here for net
3:45
Yeah, we're net zero, Dan. Net levels. one of the weaker putts I've hit in a while did you just duff that
3:55
that sounded duffy to me I talked myself into that being really quick
3:59
advantage you Dan you take that away Dan thank you sunshine I didn't think I'd have this for the half
4:10
not after my s word I didn't either no right half I'm just tickled in
4:19
Well done sir, well done. Strange golf hole. We're off though Dan, we're off
4:27
Right 341, there's about 74 different pins. I'm going to give this a bit Dan, I think this is guettable for me down this breeze possibly
4:35
It's wind down off your right isn't it? I'm going to try and take it over that tree
4:38
Oh, turned it over. Sit down ball. It's opened up the angle for sure
4:46
It will be a great angle then. Nearly back to the first tee
4:50
It's about pin high, but I've still got about 60 yards in. Right, I'm going to peel it off the trees, Joe
4:55
Of course you are. If you don't mind. Of course you are. Ooh, that was wipey
5:01
It was wipey, but that's in great shape. It's going to introduce the angle
5:08
I love this about the course, that there's a little bit of room to do that. Yes, correct
5:12
The angles are superb, so FaceTime me with my granddad. Having a bit of trouble operating the camera here
5:18
but if I can flip this round for a moment. Oh good work
5:22
That was good for me, wasn't it? There's gotta be one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
5:26
I can see nine pins. I think there's gotta be double figures worth of pins up there that we've gotta try
5:30
and work out which is ours. This course might well be the funnest golf course
5:35
You could play. Think of the routes you could play on this. It could be endless with all the pins as well
5:39
You could just play a million holes here. Right, I've just gone to the wrong green, Joe. Right, those of you watching may notice a small divot
5:45
next to where Dan pegging off here We had a little mishap around which green we were going for which we alluded to Can you see the ball in shot as well Yeah lovely shot down Unfortunately the wrong green So we gone for a change of club It now 1 I going to have to lean on this sand wedge rather than just nudge one
6:02
Oh, be good. Oh, please be good. Oh, it's just pulled up short, but I don't know how far cut on that pin is
6:11
Don't pretend you're not absolutely thrilled. Right, just been encouragingly told it's always a worry when you're exactly pin high, but still have 96 yards to go
6:21
So a little off target in terms of direction. Hell of a hit though. 96, which is a lovely yardage into this wind for me. Smooth 54. Should be good here
6:31
well hello it cuts a little bit it's good i think that's good because i think i think the pin's over that tear isn't it yeah so i think that
6:45
might be good fingers crossed i'll get your other attempt daniel thank you buddy that's the green
6:51
i wasn't going to that pin it's even near either oh joe's fine come on machine here you go there's
6:57
me just pulled up short Joe has just nipped over the back I feel like you're
7:02
about 15 feet putting so I feel like this has to go in for a half yeah with
7:06
my shot situation so let's try and bump it in just off the right
7:16
had to be relatively aggressive okay over to you Daniel big coin on that big
7:22
man. So this for it Joe. Two for it. Two for it in fact. Two for it. We'll have a pull on that
7:34
Dan that's good enough for me. Thank you mate. Do you want to have a little putt anyway? No I'm going to assume I made that. Daniel one up. Right then Joe you've got to keep your arms length now
7:42
haven't I? Yes a one up lead's never usually concerning after two hours but we've only
7:46
playing for aren't we it's a problem for me oh my giddy arm that might help me out miss that
7:54
miss it get in the trap miss it get in the trap miss it it's gone over the putting surface toward
7:59
the fourth green i think that yeah it's going to open up the angle could be behind a tree just why i don't hit driver joe right having seen that done i'm playing for position i've gone for
8:08
a gt1 tour a gt1 tour three with this new bad boy yeah i've not hit this yet so it'll be
8:14
Interesting to see what we've got. Is that good? That feels good to me
8:21
Felt good, it went into the sun. It's like straight over the pyramid of the little cut. Obviously gonna be short of it
8:26
because it's 370 yards away. Perfect. Let's go. Right, Dan, I've figured out how to get the camera
8:31
pointing at us now, which is good. Talk me through that. I'm just thinking about beating you with a shank
8:36
and whatever that was. Isn't that good? Isn't handicap a great thing
8:41
I also behind another tree Let just turn the camera around and show you how many trees are on this property You know there not many and Dan managed to find two so far in three holes
8:51
My second dalliance with one. Let's go see what you can do from over there. Right, things have escalated people
8:56
We found Dan's bull behind the only tree on this entire property possibly
9:01
On six four. It's a perfect time to try my new seven iron
9:08
Yeah, I mean, you got around it. It's gonna be short, right? I just pulled it because I was scared of that tree
9:13
That's a sensible leave, that Dan. It's not bad. I struck it beautifully. With a shot, I think that's a very sensible leave
9:18
Well done. I've got a terrible in-between yardage here, Dan. Little tweener
9:23
We've only brought a half set out, haven't we? And I could really do with a pitching wedge here. 1-1-6 into a bit of wind up the hill
9:28
Couldn't get sand wedge there at all, but haven't got a pitching wedge
9:32
So this is going to be a very chippy little nine, I think
9:40
Played it well. If that's a number, it's kinda good. Sit down a bit. Oh God
9:45
Sit a bit. Oh, that's good. We're in business. We're in business
9:50
Somewhat remarkably, Dan's sat-nav has guided into here. Basically all over the map
9:56
I think I've been too generous with shots here. Cause if you just up and down this, I've then got a 15, 18 foot downhill putt for the half
10:02
to keep the match alive. I've been far too generous. You offered it, son. Played it delightfully as well. Settle
10:10
Grabbed that more than I thought. Just pulled up a bit, didn't it? Quality of strike that, Dan, was your problem there? Yeah, with my unknown wedge
10:16
How are we, Joe? Well, I thought I hit a lovely shot in, didn't I? Straight over the pin
10:20
It's obviously just nibbled down this little subtle hill, hasn't it? I've gone 15 to 18 foot pass
10:26
I've got a funny little, first six foot's a big swinger, and then it straightens up
10:35
Never high enough, I'm afraid. Never high. Bit weak on both of my putts, haven't I? Take it away. Okay
10:39
Yeah, so it is. This is to put you to bed, isn't it? It's to put me to bed. Excellent
10:46
It's one of the most unlikely paths in the history of California. Yeah. And he's done it
11:01
Well, we thought it was going to be a four hole match. Dan's dished me up in three. We've got one of the most unlikely parts of all time
11:06
That was a glimpse of the golf course at the Titleist Performance Institute
11:12
which is just... Amazing. What an opportunity. What an experience. What a time to be alive, Dad
11:17
I've just beaten you with that drive and a shank, so should we go have a beer and talk about it
11:21
Drop no shots. I'm fine with my performance. You've just done well. Let's go and have a beer
