00:00Okay, folks we are back. We are at Eagle Mountain in Fountain Hills, Arizona

00:04This place is about 25 minutes outside of Scottsdale

00:07Great spot to go if you don't want to spend all the money that it may cost at a Greyhawk or a Weco Pa

00:11Eagle Mountain a little bit more friendly kind of a local favorite great views. We're here on the first hole

00:16It's about a 568 yard par 5 everything plays less here. I got the mini driver on the first hole

00:22I'm just a little bit more confident with a mini driver and you can kind of get it out there chasing

00:25Everything's firm in the summertime out here good swing off the first tee good spot down the right as you can see a lot

00:32Of the holes out here. They kind of funnel

00:34They've got this kind of half pipe effect and everything funnels towards the middle

00:37So if you could drive it decently out here, you can kind of score

00:40We're gonna film every single shot on the front nine of Eagle Mountain from the gold tees

00:44It's like a hundred and seven degrees out and it's firm

00:46There's not a ton of grass because it's the middle of summer in Arizona

00:49So the balls chasing it's playing way shorter Taylor made is gonna make it play way shorter as well

00:53Especially the TP 5x. It's a half club longer the TP 5 soft find the number one ball for you

01:00That's important. Go get tested. Go check out the TP 5 and the TP 5x and remember you go to tell me golf talk

01:05I'm nobody does customization of golf balls like Taylor made does they're the best in the business

01:10You can put my symbol on there, which is your own thing. You can go use numbers. You can use the picks

01:15You can use more of a traditional you get all kinds of good stuff. Taylor made golf calm second shot. We've got

01:22266 yards. I got the two iron in my hands. We're in the right rough balls a little bit about my feet

01:26We're choking up good swing here

01:28Just kind of holding it off trying to keep it low and really just if you can keep anything inside of the funnel at this

01:34Place it's gonna kind of chase and run down there

01:36That's what we did as you can see two iron ends up just off the left fringe and voila

01:40Somebody like us has got the putter in hand. We're looking at a new Eagle opportunity here on the first hole

01:46Gonna whack it out here. Once we get down to the green thing almost went in

01:49Yeah, no idea where to walk after that one greens have been punched

01:52I don't know very recently as you can tell no big deal. You just got to adjust you got a whack that thing

01:58It's also, you know, we're going through a bunch of links golf right now

02:01Greens are slower. So greens are slower for us too, but nice little two putt birdie. Holy shit. We're one under through one

02:08Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up

02:14Yeah, you don't want to fuck it up that's the key

02:15So here we come to the second hole a little bit tougher of a driving hole. I got the mini driver again

02:21Dr. Brett McCabe be real proud of that one. What happens when you tell yourself don't fuck it up. Don't fuck it up

02:26You probably fuck it up sent that one way out to the right

02:28I kind of learned when you're watching this back

02:30It looks very obvious when you're in real time

02:32You can't tell but my alignments awful I'm aiming way right and then who knows what's going on found a bush had to take it

02:38Unplayable wise this is our third. This is about as close to real grass as we could get

02:42Unplayable so we got a six iron trying to hit this thing 180 plus yards uphill didn't come out great squirted a little bit, right?

02:50Luckily everything funnels so it didn't end up in a great spot

02:53But for hitting it that far right ended up in a spot where we could at least try to chip on

02:58Good 60 degree here to a back right pin left ourselves an opportunity for a bogey

03:03Which would be heroic considering all that you get a good look at the views here. It's nice. You're up perched

03:09There's a lot of elevation change in Eagle Mountain, which again

03:12Comparatively on the prices makes it kind of a home run for a lot of people you get out there

03:16You can score if you hit it decently off the tee you get a lot of nice views. It's usually in great shape

03:20It's actually in great shape outside of the greens being punched for places in Scottsdale. It's hot as you can imagine

03:26We're not trying to use all the water that we're allocated for the entire year

03:29Some places are running a little bit thin here in the middle of the summer last hole of the first three

03:34220 yards. I got a four iron here again. It's hot. It's downhill depends kind of in the back middle

03:39So it's not playing 220 like in a normal spot kind of flushes for and aiming a little bit, right?

03:44It's coming in a little bit right of the green

03:46It lands just a little bit past pin high on the right fringe and goes over the green

03:51Not the worst spot pitching back up the hill from the air quotes rough

03:55We got a 54 degree try it out a new 54 degree. That's true from the mg4 pretty good little pitch here

04:01It's always tough to judge with punch greens and whatnot

04:03So we've got about a five footer five four five six footer for par

04:08Bang that one feels good. One of the assistant supers was up there, too

04:12You know, he's trying to get the sprinklers going so I'm trying to get out of there

04:14But also you got a wave and thank the crowd

04:15That's it went over through the first three holes hell of a par that 220 yard par three

04:21Reminder the new Taylor made golf balls. Okay, TP 5 TP 5x TP 5x what I use half a club longer

04:27You could probably tell there cuz I just hit my flyer

04:30240 yards might help that it's 105 degrees and that was significantly downhill

04:34But the point is it goes farther great ball went over through three. Stay tuned

04:37We're gonna play the entire front nine here to go out. We're gonna film every shot
