00:00Now golf is a fantastic sport. I love it, but as most of you watching this will know it is also
00:06Incredibly 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
00:13demoralizing golf shots you can hit
00:21Let's get started
00:24Okay
00:26So right of the 12th hole here at the London Club and Jess has got two options
00:31You 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
00:35I'm not sure. There's a huge amount to be gained there. It's par 5. He doesn't need to go for it
00:40Let's see what option he goes for
00:43Oh, that is demoralizing. There's nothing to be gained this way at all
00:52Well these short irons have been causing Neil a bit of grief of late
00:56Tendency to pull them left of target and he's been working hard on the range putting in the hours to try and sort things out
01:03150 here only a short iron for Neil
01:12It's gone 50 yards left
01:24Ooh that is a shank
01:32Okay, so 11th hole here at the London Club tough par 3
01:35Now Jess is here really good drive down into the mouth of the green should be able to escape here with a par
01:40He's just deciding whether to chip it or to putt it pretty sure I'll go for the putter. Oh
01:46oh
01:47He's gone for the chipper. Let's see how he gets on
01:54Why don't you just use the putter
02:00So this is the 13th on the heritage course at the London Club
02:04It's a classic risk reward par 4. It's playing off the forward tees today and it's straight downwind now
02:10Tappers is a pretty long hitter. I'm pretty sure he will have a go at this probably doesn't even need driver. So
02:18Looks like he actually has something else in mind. Oh
02:25No, don't go left
02:27So that is just what he didn't want to do iron for safety found a bunker now has to play straight over the water
02:34So
02:38We're here on the 10th green on the heritage course at the London Club Neal has left himself this
02:4312 footer for birdie after a good approach. He needs something to happen in this round. So, let's see
02:52Well, he's not did a little way past but you should have no trouble in just tidying that one up
02:57I'm sure he would have liked it to be just a touch closer maybe but well, let's see
03:03Oh
03:06My goodness the horseshoe that is that is going to hurt
03:15Tenth hole third shot
03:17Now this is a tricky scenario downhill lie tight flag. We've all been there
03:22But Jess is an experienced campaigner. He knows full
03:25Well, the number one mistake you make in this position is to get too cute with it
03:30So Jess is just gonna play the sort of old pro shot hit it past the flag
03:34Take your chance to sort of 10 or 15 feet. Very very simple. No mistakes need to be made
03:45Oops
03:50So it's competition day and Neal's hopes are up he's been playing well in friendly rounds recently
03:56He knows that his handicaps should be coming down. This is the day that he thinks he's going to do it
04:01He's treated himself to a new glove. He's treated himself to a brand new golf ball
04:07He's even done a little bit of stretching on the tee there. So this is the day where things all go completely according to plan
04:18Or not
04:27Oh
04:28No, no
04:31It's gone left
04:33That's play provisional. Oh
04:35Well, I see what Neil was trying to do there
04:37This is the 12th hole on the heritage course at the London Club
04:40Really requires a little bit of a fade around the corner
04:43Then it's a great chance par 5
04:45But if you over fade it you're in the trees on the right and if you do what Neil has just done
04:49You hold on to it and you're up that bank on the left where the rough is pretty impenetrable
04:57Oh
05:00Action replay of the first one deja vu time be joking. I think it probably is
05:10Okay, so it's a critical phase in the round here
05:13Jez has driven into the water and he's now got a very difficult pitch over that water to the green
05:18Could be a cricket score if he gets this wrong
05:20Hang on a second. Hang on a second. That's pretty close. He couldn't even escape here with a par
05:29What is the point
05:34Well, there you have it
05:35That's our look at ten of the most demoralizing shots in golf if you've liked the video hit the like button
