00:00 Now golf is a fantastic sport. I love it. But as most of you watching this will know it is also
00:05 Incredibly frustrating at times. Now we're here at the London Club and in this video. We're going to take a look at ten of the most
00:13 demoralizing golf shots you can hit
00:16 Let's get started
00:26 Okay, so right of the 12th hole here at the London Club and Jess has got two options
00:31 You 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
00:35 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
00:39 Let's see what option he goes for
00:52 Well, these short irons have been causing Neil a bit of grief of late tendency to pull them left of target
00:58 But he's been working hard on the range putting in the hours to try and sort things out
01:02 150 here only a short iron for Neil
01:05 It's gone 50 yards left
01:14 Oh
01:16 That
01:27 Okay, so 11th hole here at the London Club tough par 3
01:35 Now Jess is here a really good drive down into the mouth of the green should be able to escape here with a pie
01:40 It's just deciding whether to chip it or to putt it pretty sure I'll go for the putter. Oh, oh
01:45 He's gone for the chipper, let's see how he gets on
01:49 Why don't you just use the putter
01:56 So this is the 13th on the heritage course at the London Club
02:03 It's classic risk reward par 4. It's playing off the forward tees today and it's straight downwind now
02:10 Tappas is a pretty long hitter. I'm pretty sure he will have a go at this probably doesn't even need driver. So
02:16 Looks like he actually has something else in mind. Oh
02:22 No, don't go left
02:27 So that is just what he didn't want to do iron for safety found a bunker now has to play straight over the water
02:38 So we're here on the 10th green on the heritage course at the London Club Neil has left himself this
02:42 12 footer for birdie after a good approach. He needs something to happen in this round. So, let's see
02:48 Well, he's not did a little way past but you should have no trouble in just tidying that one up
02:56 I'm sure he would have liked it to be just a touch closer maybe but well, let's see. Oh
03:06 My goodness the horseshoe that is that is going to hurt
03:10 Tenth hole third shot
03:17 Now this is a tricky scenario downhill lie tight flag. We've all been there
03:22 But Jess is an experienced campaigner. He knows full well the number one mistake you make in this position is to get too cute with it
03:29 So Jess is just gonna play the sort of old pro shot hit it past the flag
03:34 Take your chance to sort of 10 or 15 feet. Very very simple. No mistakes need to be made
03:39 Oops
03:47 So it's competition day and Neil's hopes are up he's been playing well in friendly rounds recently
03:56 He knows that his handicap should be coming down. This is the day that he thinks he's going to do it
04:01 He's treated himself to a new glove
04:04 He's treated himself to a brand new golf ball. He's even done a little bit of stretching on the tee there
04:09 So this is the day where things all go completely according to plan
04:14 Or not
04:20 No, no, it's gone left
04:33 I have to play provisional. Oh
04:35 Well, I see what Neil was trying to do there
04:37 This is the 12th hole on the heritage course at the London Club
04:40 Really requires a little bit of a fade around the corner. Then it's a great chance par 5
04:44 But if you over fade it you're in the trees on the right and if you do what Neil has just done
04:49 You hold on to it and you're up that bank on the left where the rough is pretty impenetrable
05:00 Action replay of the first one deja vu time be joking. I think it probably is
05:06 Okay, so it's a critical phase in the round here
05:13 Jez has driven into the water and he's now got a very difficult pitch over that water to the green
05:18 Could be a cricket score if he gets this wrong
05:20 Hang on a second, hang on a second. That's pretty close. He could even escape here with a par
05:28 What is the point?
05:30 There you have it that's our look at ten of the most demoralizing shots in golf
