00:00You've got to hole a putt, right?
00:02But there's some caveats here.
00:03For every foot you go back from the hole,
00:06your prize money for holding this putt goes up £100,000.
00:10If you hole the putt from whatever footage you choose,
00:13you win the money.
00:15You miss the putt,
00:17you're never allowed to play golf ever again.
00:19How far back would you go to guarantee as much money as you can,
00:24but not miss the putt?
00:25What are the greens like?
00:26Is it artificial, is it?
00:27Ten on a real green.
00:29Straight putt on ten stimp, grass.
00:30On a real green.
00:32Normal sized hole.
00:34I was on two foot for ages.
00:37Were you really?
00:38Because 200 grand is healthy, obviously.
00:40Two foot's still missable when you're shaking and you're nervous.
00:45Because there's going to be a build up to this, isn't there?
00:46There's going to be an audience.
00:47You're going to be thinking about it.
00:48There'll be a few people watching.
00:49Interviews beforehand.
00:51We've seen people miss putts shorter than that for a major championship.
00:54Gosh, yeah.
00:56Then I thought,
00:57how much golf do I actually play now anyway?
01:00Okay, you can't talk about golf or work in golf either.
01:02Oh, okay.
01:02So you'd be fired.
01:04Okay.
01:07That doesn't apply to you listening and watching.
01:09No, you're fine.
01:10I still think at three feet, you're still in that 90%.
01:16What does three feet look like?
01:18Yeah, I think from PGA Tour statistics, which I think would be fair here, I'm a decent putter.
01:25I would be thinking about it at three still.
01:31But I think I'd risk that for the extra 100k.
01:34So I think I'd be three feet.
01:35Where do you net out?
01:36I netted out at, I quite like playing cricket.
01:39So losing golf wouldn't be the end of the world for me.
01:4220 foot.
01:44So I went to five, because half a million quid sounds quite nice to me.
01:48Five feet straight on 10 greens.
01:50I don't think you're thinking this game through.
01:52Do you not think when that inevitably slips by the right, because you've had a bit of a twitch,
01:55you just look and go, 400 grand's nice, isn't it?
01:59I could have been a foot closer here.
02:00100 grand for a foot?
02:02Yeah, just tap it and move on, take your 100k.
02:03There we go.
02:04Five's bold, I'm sorry.
02:05I'm a bold man, Joe.
