00:00All right, PGA West, Jack Nicklaus course,

00:02not the easiest course in the world,

00:03especially when you're hitting it horrifically.

00:05We are five over through six.

00:06We filmed every single shot on the front nine

00:09out there by ourselves.

00:10Beautiful day, firm out there, gorgeous views,

00:13and we are now gonna wrap this bad boy up

00:15on the seventh, eighth, and ninth holes

00:16brought to you by Truly Tequila Sodas.

00:19We've been hitting the driver all over the place,

00:20a lot of duck hooks.

00:22This one actually struck well.

00:23As you can see, it draws up the right center.

00:26We are in play.

00:27We are in the fairway.

00:28We are excited.

00:29We're looking at mountains.

00:30We got barely any clouds in the sky, so we're excited.

00:33Here we've got, I think, about 210 or so in,

00:37a little bit uphill, hitting a five wood,

00:40trying to kind of hold off.

00:41Hit a pretty good one up here.

00:43I didn't quite think I could fly a four iron up there,

00:45so went with the old five wood.

00:47Hit it pretty good, liked it, straight, not duck hooked.

00:50Ended up just over the green.

00:52So we're kind of putting back down the hill here.

00:54Again, this is brought to you by Truly Tequila Sodas.

00:57They got four great flavors.

01:00You should check them out.

01:00This is for Eagle.

01:01You should check this out.

01:02Had some in my ear, so everybody relax.

01:07It's a damn good effort.

01:08Well played hole thus far.

01:09We've got a short one up the hill for Birdie.

01:12After all of the debacles that you saw thus far,

01:14a Birdie would really feel like quite the miracle.

01:17He drains it right in the heart.

01:18Come on now.

01:19Reminder, Truly Tequila Soda, keep it light.

01:21Hard seltzer beverage company, Boston, Massachusetts.

01:23Please drink responsibly.

01:25We got 5% ABV, 100 calories, four delicious flavors.

01:28Awesome hole here.

01:29Par 3, eighth, 143.

01:31Hit an eight iron.

01:32Make sure I could kind of cover.

01:34I thought maybe I'd get it in the back left of the green.

01:37Hit it a little too far in the back left bunker.

01:39Water all up the front.

01:40So kind of a gutless effort there.

01:42I should've just hit a nice solid nine iron.

01:44Wasn't easy to get that Truly into the sand

01:47without creating a bigger mess, but we didn't.

01:49Kind of didn't think about the fact

01:51that a bunch of sand would get into my Truly,

01:53which it did there.

01:54Made it a little bit difficult to drink.

01:56This bad boy for par.

01:59No, another mess.

02:00Hate to see that.

02:01Five over through eight with a birdie.

02:04So as you can tell, the rest of the ball striking

02:06really, really pure, really good.

02:07Last hole of the front nine.

02:10Struggling with the driver.

02:11Last two drives, solid.

02:13These weren't great.

02:14We're kind of holding them off

02:15because we're so afraid of duck hooking them.

02:16So they're not going extremely far,

02:18but this one's in the fairway.

02:19Got water all down the left here.

02:21I believe I had about a six or seven iron in here.

02:24Classic DC bailout out to the right,

02:27which as you saw in the first eight holes,

02:29little swales around these greens, not the easiest.

02:31You got to kind of navigate.

02:33So you got to navigate what to do.

02:34Do you chip over them?

02:35There's water all down and if it's firm,

02:37so if I did a blade one, it could be ugly.

02:39About pin high, we're just going to try to putt it

02:41up over this knob, dribble it down towards the hole

02:44in a horrific effort.

02:45Not happy with himself.

02:46This for par.

02:47Once again, this is to avoid going six over through nine.

02:5169, very nice.

02:52See kind of why I left the first one short.

02:55It's pretty quick down there, but either way,

02:57wanted to avoid disaster there.

02:58You kind of did.

02:59That's a bogey.

03:01Here we are, six over through nine.

03:03Not great, but we're having a truly wrong little,

03:05truly tequila occasion.

03:06And PGA West is just a fantastic venue.

03:08Awesome, awesome views.

03:10Enjoyed it.

03:11Perfect weather, perfect condition.

03:12If you could just play a little bit better at golf,

03:14it might be perfect.
