your ball just in case he hits it I will
put money on this going nowhere near
mine okay if he hits my ball slightly
unnecessary long run up but if he hits

yeah I see the
plane okay it's not bad
oh the sir okay I'm winning that's the
most accurate one that was really good
see you commit I reckon I'm closer to
the hole after this shot than youe I
very much disagree no after this shot
yeah but oh focus on Mal man if you
focus too far in front you're going to
miss the present but you're comparing
and it's called Comp US and it's called
the present cuz it's a gift but you're
comparing us and comparison is the thief
of Joy [ __ ] no but I'm winning right now
I'm not saying you're not even winning
Ben is closer I'd argue I am I'm more
Central no you have a big r who's who's

where I hey I'm more Central than Oxford
Street k your B
fella Beauty why did bro my foot doesn't
work just so you know but I'm analyzing
those Hills I want you to know by the
way he won't get this in so if you get
this in you're going to win a hole I'm
going to win a hole and it's whole 10
fitting no his girlfriend's called 10 my
girlfriend's called 10 not she's not 10
she's called
11 her birthday last
week W see hey when I put my mind to
something when you put your mind to
something it still fails okay okay it's
still there it's okay this is for an
eagle fumbled the
albatross I'm lucky right good technique
he does bit
cringe that's awful no it's not that's
awful should come in a see lat mate off
pop how are you saying that how are you
but you're over over there fell yeah I
get this in no you no you don't I think
I beat you on this H how much you want
to bet a million a million
poundes I'm going to use that bank to go
down to the I'm goingon to answer the
right ready
yeah he's done exactly what he said but
it was still a bit
bad I'd argue you are still the furthest
can you tell him what wait am I what
you're definitely furthest I'm
definitely the furthest until now mate I
also guarantee after this shot you're
the furthest after this you will be the
furthest away still Simon May I remind
you you said oh we're a team we got to
work together what's up brother what's
up
brother touch it touch it touch it touch
it I can't control it for you look how s
like sideways his foot he's done this
before we have a chance we have a chance
have a chance the door is open we can't
win though but we cannot lose and that's
important smacky bow I don't think
that's a last smack it but accidentally
in it what happens if I did hit your
ball in a torrent I would mark it okay
I I now as a golfer I would say you got
to mark that personally I think I just
finish it oh oh is it is it a gimme you
can have a gimme if you want that's a
gim I know that's a
gimme he taking it it's gimme in it I'm
taking the Gimme taking and I
recommended that gimme you have to get
this to draw all on you
easy oh
no is that a do
no I want to see you take that shot you
what mean okay just to put the pressure
on cuz if you get this he has to make it
although I have no doubt in my
mind take it away bro take it
[Music]
away would be missed okay this to win
right
[Music]
okay you know what it is it's the
sideways foot yeah he loves it I feel
like when we do it we're like we're like
that whereas he's like that's a
different technique though we're not
being taught that he's fully side
okay we both missed what the
[ __ ] okay par three we have a chance on
this you do you should get this hole in
one personally have you got hole in one
on this hole I have before yes
yeah it is that c set to that wait set
up set up oh my God I
long okay so he's getting a to so the
way we have to win Po in one Po in
one it bends to the left oh it bends to
the right though special teams special

shoot on Sportsman like it is it's
against golfing eate but yeah what the
game needs more nervous over it more
nervous over this what I should be
[Music]

[Music]
yeah yay that was awful wait what was I
supposed to
do that I don't know oh let me just get
Albatross real quick yeah just Albatross
this whole quick
do you have any sense of like
power yay
Albatross
sure are you ready to do a hole over the
water yeah yeah hell yeah what's the
power on this bad boy part three what
part three over the bloody water okay
this is the final hole what do what do
like what are you going to do I'm going
to try and carry the water okay what do
you think we should do straight over it
you can pass it left and completely bail
out this is a par three my friend we
ain't bailing out all right straight for
the dragon we're both Landing in that
like Marsh there we'll see how you do
okay and then we'll
reassess
over
bro he welled it by the way never cooked
it personally stra in the bank but he
welled it yeah no power's needed it's
either you go too far which you take or
you end up in the water and at that
point you cook do you want to go next
drip or drown
Simon yeah laugh now Simon you yeah yeah
I actually don't know what to do now
I've got to go for it you can just take
the shortest carry or
you what are you doing Jack as long as I
get further than yours I'm happy smack
it I'll try but every time I just wait
come on man commit okay got some grip
this a last one of the day some grippers
my toes can I get a oh it's a bit cringe
mate you're 31 do you know what I
mean that was the worst one actually the
worst
one oh the bounces if you're telling me
that's the worst the worst one how is
that the worst one don't decide that's
the worst one how is that the worst one
it's not better than mine yours is in
the water yeah but then I get an extra
shot getting it out you can't just throw
it towards the hole well so what does it
mean how do I get out you meant to put
it just on the edge yeah that's what I
did did you get any Ducks here or
anything occasionally really it's just
just a bit of a lost cause he's he's so
lost well my logic was right you're
number one in the world so I thought I
have to counter it with potentially the
worst throw it
now
what this
is this is so
tragic ever seen anything like this
before
no maybe if he comes this side it's a
shorter throw but we'll let yeah I was
going to say he'll figure out
eventually gets uh gets dark at eight
this is the one
no's bro why don't you bring it round
this
[Music]
side I feel like I'm too far committed
now I think this next one you got it you
think yeah you're going to land it on
the ball he's not reaching
that's definitely not
reaching
[Music]
oh from there get it for him or do we
just no no no that was the most fun I've
had all
day were your best shots of the day we
haven't figured out exactly what's wrong
with him
yet he's
overcooked nice you're still further all
right final hole I want to go out with
at least a draw so I need to get
this a that was so [ __ ] that was so [ __ ]
no you get that that's P yeah but if he
gets this he wins he won't feel free to
just kick his ball out of the way just
boot his that's my ball see what
happens what what's going to happen what
what's going
