00:00All right, welcome back to Greyhawk Golf Club.
00:02We are at the Raptor course, playing from the tips.
00:05This is holes four, five, and six.
00:08I picked these holes because it's a great mix of holes.
00:10You've got the number two handicap, a long, tough par five.
00:14Then you've got a long par three,
00:16and then you got a pretty short par four.
00:18Pretty wide open fairway here,
00:19so we are just gonna rip driver, and this was a great one.
00:21This was about as good as I can hit it.
00:23In fact, I did the whole thing on the cart
00:25where I looked, took a video of how far it actually went,
00:28because I couldn't believe it,
00:29and then put it in the video
00:30because I wanted to showcase to everyone.
00:31Again, it's a wide fairway,
00:32so you shouldn't be bragging that much about hitting it.
00:34Par five, we can actually get there on this one
00:36after a very good drive.
00:37We got about 264 yards to the pin.
00:41I took out three wood, just ripped it as hard as I could.
00:43I actually hit this thing pretty well.
00:44Kind of a little bit of a toe draw,
00:46so it took a big bounce.
00:47Ended up barely dribbling into this little pop bunker,
00:49which is a very tricky spot.
00:51As you can see in here, a little bit of a down slope.
00:53Then you gotta get it up quick to kind of a front pin.
00:56Here we go.
00:57Ah!
00:58Ah!
00:59Excellent effort, but man,
01:01it just did not get a good result.
01:02It hit the rough right there.
01:04Instead of kicking right and dribbling out
01:05to within 10 feet or so,
01:07it kicked left straight back into this bunker.
01:09Now, I posted this video actually on my Instagram earlier.
01:12I had a bunch of people being like,
01:13oh, look how many different takes it took.
01:14Just a little newsflash here.
01:15I'm not the only person that plays at this golf course.
01:17In fact, when I go out and film,
01:19I do it very, very late in the day,
01:20so I'm the last person on the entire course.
01:22So all these other little lines that you see
01:25are just other poor bastards
01:27that hit the ball into this bunker.
01:28A great bunker shot here, open the face.
01:30Some of these jumps are just not that impressive, really.
01:35I really wanted to see how close it was,
01:36and I just couldn't.
01:37That's why it took me three efforts.
01:38Flail on the arm, still couldn't see.
01:40Got it out there pretty good.
01:41Maybe about six feet or so.
01:42This one's definitely gonna snap right to left,
01:44so we're gonna play it out to the right.
01:46And yeah, just complete mystery.
01:48Absolutely did not snap to the left.
01:49In fact, I don't think it broke at all.
01:50So that is a tough six after being pinned high in two
01:53on a 562-yard par five.
01:56Folks, today's video from holes four, five, and six
01:58at Greyhawks Raptor Course from the back teeth,
02:01brought to you by the great people at Chevrolet.
02:04What a classic American company, that bow tie.
02:06Seen it for years and years and years.
02:08They've been making electric cars for a long time,
02:10and cars in general for over 100 years,
02:11so they're the best in the business.
02:13Chevy.com slash EquinoxEV.
02:15Go check this thing out.
02:16I know it's kind of scrolling down the screen right now.
02:18No compromises on the interior.
02:20Comfortable for up to five people.
02:22319 miles on a single charge, EPA estimated,
02:26and the best in class.
02:2717.7 inch diagonal touchscreen display.
02:30Chevy.com slash EquinoxEV.
02:33Let's get back to Greyhawk.
02:34Let's finish strong here.
02:36Let's enjoy ourselves, you know?
02:37All right, we got a five iron here.
02:39Pinned sort of right in the middle of the green,
02:40so I'm not trying to fly this thing 202.
02:42Trying to fly it maybe in the mid 190s.
02:45So I got a five iron.
02:46As you can see, I'm dropping my right foot behind
02:48and trying to really feel like I'm drawing the ball,
02:50because that's just when I hit it my best.
02:51Probably more of a pull straight one,
02:52but that was an excellent shot for me.
02:54Excellent shot.
02:55Ball lands kind of on the front part of the green,
02:57bounces forward, and settles perfectly pin high.
03:00So we've got an uphill right to left putt
03:02to get back to even par.
03:03Mm, mm.
03:05Really thought that one was going in.
03:06It looked good the whole way,
03:07but just snapped across the hole.
03:08So we are one over through two holes.
03:10Short, 345 yards, sixth hole.
03:13There's actually plenty of room right.
03:14I know it doesn't look like it.
03:15This is one of the cooler views of all the tees
03:17on the rafter course.
03:18I absolutely love it.
03:19You can see the mountains.
03:20Green's a little bit below you,
03:21so it's a great vantage point.
03:23Kind of see the ball fly there.
03:24That was a fantastic swing.
03:26Maybe hit a little bit high on the face,
03:28so it didn't go quite as far as the swing on the fourth,
03:30but it got out there.
03:31Pin's kind of back right once we got up there,
03:33so had almost 80 yards.
03:35I think it was like 79 yards to the pin.
03:38I got a 60 degree wedge.
03:40This is a tricky green where there's kind of a spine
03:42right across the middle of it.
03:43If you land it on the back part of that spine,
03:45it can bounce over the green.
03:46If you land it short, it catches at the ridge
03:48and dribbles towards the front of the green.
03:49Nice little chicken wing there.
03:51Great divot, but it really was not a great shot.
03:54It sort of landed short and a little left
03:56and then took that ridge that I talked about
03:58and ended up quite a bit of ways,
03:59maybe 30, 40 feet or so.
04:01We got hit up the hill and then down the hill.
04:03Pretty horrible effort.
04:04I knew it was gonna break left.
04:05I didn't trust it.
04:06I started it left.
04:07It took off left.
04:08So here we are.
04:09I kind of grinded over this reed.
04:11Wasn't fully sure.
04:12The last putt that you kind of saw me hit
04:13while in the fourth hole,
04:15I really thought it was gonna break left pretty good,
04:16and it just didn't.
04:17So I tried to take some break out of this
04:20and hit it just on the right edge.
04:21Nice putt.
04:22We finished one over through three.
04:23Kind of a disappointing one over through three.
04:25Had a wedge in my hand and was pinned high
04:27on a par five and made bogey,
04:28but big thanks to Chevy bringing you this video.
04:30Big thanks to Greyhawk Golf Club.
04:32The Raptor course is maybe the best golf course
04:34in Arizona, in my opinion.
04:35Maybe the best publicly accessible golf course in Arizona.
04:38I love it.
04:38I love the scene.
04:39I love the Barksville Classic Championship,
04:40and I love Chevy.
04:41Barks!
