Seven thousand two hundred is it yeah fighting off the backs. So it's breakage today.
For rick i am confident going in today.
I just cannot remember when i played a golf course that long have a quick wrap-up then.
Of break 75 episode number four which by the way guys the views on it have been amazing the feedback has been incredible massive kudos to harry the editor who's doing an amazing job on the break 75s. And matt filming and with harry um they're only because they're just off camera here we have to say that um but now he's doing an awesome job and the feedback we're getting he's just outstanding we played at presby last week you joined me it was a very nice course this was your first time golfing on the main channel how did it feel well if it was an actual course vlog video i would have been very nervous. But the beauty of this role on a break 75 is i just play any amazing shots might feature any bad ones definitely won't feature. So it's a bit loud it won't feature so not that much pressure i think i felt a bit bad though because a lot of people comment. And say you know uh did guy out drive you actually didn't at all i played quite poorly um i shot 11 over which was 82 yeah which was 11 bogey seven pars your score could have been a lot worse yes your back nine was much more it was eight over front three over back yeah you're back nine you played much better did you make any birdies no nothing that's what literally had eleven bogeys seven pass. But in my head i came away and thought i'm not happy with that because i want to be at least breaking 80 at the minute but i think i said yeah i played well enough. So i've actually just about enjoyed it still not i enjoyed it but i mean i played well enough were my score if it was shot maybe four five six worse i think would have been like oh i hate golf. So much but you actually hit some good golf shots as well like some of those two irons you're absolutely tanked your short game was okay like you played some really nice shots that one over the brook. And over the bunker which was yeah. And you made an up and down which wasn't recorded that was class um like you you did hit it nicely enough a lot of people were asking did i beat you you did you destroyed me if we were playing if we were playing match play what the score have been um because you'd like to play me off scratch don't you you don't like it i know of joe i don't have a handicap anymore i'm not well i'm a member. But i'm not an official handicapper it was four. For years and years and years but at the moment like let's i have genuinely played three times in over six months so i'm not expecting to shoot great but i don't like getting shots just because if i know if i play well i'm not gonna be far off so i don't know i'd rather lose than get shots and then.
Win if i was playing rory mcilroy obviously when it would be pointless playing. And wouldn't i'm gonna get beat probably ten and eight well i think i've got your number when i play well i'm longer i'm straighter better short game wow i can manipulate the golf ball better high low fade wow you're very one dimensional um how do you think my game is trending at the moment i said this in the video i'm going to say it again you're a confidence player. So if you go out today.
At jcb. And you go pa pa birdie power i think you're gonna play well let me see how long the golf course is not off that number are we apparently yeah seven thousand two hundred is it yeah fighting off the backs. So it's breakage today.
For rick i am confident going in today.
I just cannot remember when i played a golf course that long i don't think i ever have. So so a lot of the golf courses here in the uk is roughly around the back even the back tees you very rarely see them over 7000 yards i think the ones i've played at the moment probably the longest one is 6800 yards um. So that i think today.
Off the bat tease i'm not sure if it's gonna be the back back tees because again we got a lot of comments on the video saying why not playing off the tips a lot of time in the uk either tipties aren't out they're not prepared it's not somewhere certainly here in the uk that you play all the time is it it's normally. For like elite club level comps isn't it like you might play it three times a year so the teas aren't always cooked and not always set out where in america they always have every single tea option out so i think the black teas are the furthest back tees you can play. And if you want to play off those tees if you're out in america you can play off those tees. So today.
We're off the backpacks do you think from what i've been told. So is it part 72 past 72 off the backpacks that would be a good break 75 today.
Then.
A ridiculous one. For me it's break 80. i'd be happy really really happy with that i'm going to go into it with the same level of confidence that i've had going into the last couple of rounds i felt much better with my game um i felt like i offered to a really slow start last week even though i made some great powers i felt like they would they shouldn't have just been trying to scrap cars i missed loads of birdie opportunities last week. But from what i've seen again i've not played this golf course but from what i've seen on images footage they've had 40 green keepers working relentlessly even through lockdown from what i've been told the green at the green speeds are incredible the everything about it is absolutely immaculate i'm not the biggest fan of super fast greens why i just i just get a bit timid with them i get a little bit kind of scary scary hill left to right on a fast group yeah i just always feel like slightly slower greens suit me better. But i'm also intrigued to give it a try i'll be honest this podcast is a hindrance today.
Why i just want to complain now i know i feel like we've had we've just got to get the podcast i'm joking today's podcast will be a good one it's very much a vibe today.
