00:00Right, for my next challenge,
00:01I'm really ramping things up.
00:03This time, it's the 100 foot crazy putt challenge.
00:06From here, all the way out there,
00:08I've got 25 balls to do it.
00:10Challenge accepted.
00:16Okay, so for episode three of Challenge Accepted,
00:18I really wanted to increase the level of difficulty.
00:20We're actually at my home club here,
00:22Burley Park Golf Club in Stamford, Lincolnshire,
00:24and it's a bitterly cold day in December.
00:27My hands are absolutely freezing.
00:28But, I think it's gonna be a really exciting video.
00:31So as I said, I've got a 100 foot putt here.
00:33I'm just gonna measure that with my Bushnell Rangefinder
00:35just to confirm.
00:37So we are 34 yards away from the flag,
00:41so just over 100 feet.
00:43And looking at some Arcos data that I got,
00:46would suggest that make percentage,
00:49from this sort of distance,
00:50the Tour Pro is around about 4%, so one in 25.
00:53So I'm completely up against it with this challenge.
00:56It's gonna be incredibly difficult.
00:57Not only when you factor in the temperature,
01:00but also the fact, the 16th green here at Burley Park,
01:03is a little bit quirky.
01:04Let's go and take a look and explain why.
01:12Right, so before we start this challenge,
01:13I just wanna show you the quirkiness
01:15of this 16th green here at Burley Park.
01:17As you can see, it's a very long green from front to back.
01:19But as we get kind of two thirds of the way up
01:21towards the hole, you see you've got this big slope,
01:23goes up the hill.
01:24There's not a traditional two-tier green,
01:25and that would continue all the way along.
01:27It then drops down.
01:28So you've got this kind of big sleeping policeman style hump.
01:31Goes up, all the way down,
01:32makes judging the pace incredibly difficult.
01:35But also the line of the putt,
01:36after it comes down the hill,
01:38can get a bit wobbly, it's quite difficult to read.
01:40So I'm definitely up against it with this challenge,
01:42not only with the distance,
01:43but the quirkiness of the green,
01:45the temperature of the wind,
01:46everything's working against me,
01:47and I've only got 25 balls to do it.
01:48So it's going to be really difficult,
01:50but let's get it under way and see how we do.
02:03I'll tell you what, it's not...
02:07Not the worst opener.
02:10Got to hit it very hard.
02:12Looked like it moved a little bit right to left.
02:15So, a bit harder, a little bit more to drive, come on.
02:25Oh, it's a bit jumpy.
02:29Right next to the first one, consistent.
02:35That's got a chance.
02:36It's got a chance.
02:40Oh!
02:41Oh!
02:44Oh, it's happening.
02:46It's happening.
02:4725, that's too many.
02:48I don't need that many.
02:49Probably in an actual round,
02:52I'll probably chip this with a seven, then.
02:57Oh, it's looking tasty.
02:58That's a bit left.
03:01Oh!
03:03I can't feel my fingers,
03:04which I don't think is helping.
03:11Do it.
03:12Do it.
03:12Do it.
03:13Oh!
03:15No!
03:19No!
03:19That was so close.
03:25That's unbelievably close.
03:26Right.
03:29Go.
03:30Go.
03:32Go.
03:34Go.
03:36Oh!
03:38Give it a nudge out of the way.
03:42Oh!
03:43It's gonna happen.
03:44It's gonna happen.
03:48Pulled it.
03:50No.
03:53What I haven't explained yet
03:54is that there is a forfeit
03:57if I don't do this challenge,
03:58which is embarrassing.
04:00Watch to the end,
04:01because it could get quite entertaining.
04:08No.
04:11It's getting worse.
04:12No, no, no.
04:13It's getting worse.
04:14No, no, no.
04:22Go.
04:2411 balls in.
04:26Not really.
04:28Only got three past the hole, so.
04:33Hard enough.
04:34Go.
04:34Go.
04:35Go.
04:35Go.
04:36Go.
04:36Go.
04:37Go.
04:37Go.
04:38Go.
04:47Go.
04:47Go.
04:48Go.
04:48Go.
04:49Go.
04:49Definitely hard enough.
04:56Go, go, go, go.
05:04Most of them are on the left as well, so you need to aim more right, hit it harder.
05:17Got it there, got it there, a bit left.
05:30Go, go, go, go, go, go.
05:36What?
05:41No, no, no.
05:46Oh, I can't believe that.
05:49How's that missed?
05:51Oh, my deez, that must have...
05:56That must have, like, lipped out or nearly.
06:03Where is it?
06:06Oh, dear.
06:08Okay, eight balls left.
06:10Obviously, the likelihood of me making this is going down all the time, but I'm getting that feedback loop.
06:17I know exactly what the putt's going to do.
06:20So I know how hard I hit it, how hard I need to hit it, I know what line I need to hit it on, but from a hundred feet, there's a lot of stuff that can go wrong.
06:32Well, that's awful.
06:34I'm going to see that back.
06:40That's it.
06:42It's starting to rain as well.
06:44Oh!
06:45Oh!
06:46Back and through.
06:47Bosh.
06:49Barely.
06:54What are you doing?
07:01That is absolutely a toilet.
07:03Oh!
07:04Oh!
07:05Oh!
07:06Oh!
07:07Oh!
07:08Oh!
07:09Oh!
07:10Oh!
07:11Oh!
07:12Oh!
07:13No!
07:14Well, that was it.
07:19Oh!
07:20Three balls left.
07:21Oh, that's it.
07:26That's it.
07:27No, it's not.
07:28Oh, did it hit the balls?
07:31Oh!
07:32Oh!
07:33Oh!
07:34Okay, this is it.
07:35One ball left.
07:36Moment of truth.
07:37Imagine the scenes if this goes in.
07:38Oh, so cold.
07:39Right, come on.
