00:00Back-to-back R3s.

00:02You simply don't see that very often in the game of golf.

00:05These two are iconic.

00:06Here at Pacific Dunes, Tom Doak course, Abandoned Dunes,

00:10you've probably seen pictures of it.

00:11Posted a little bit of footage from it earlier in the year,

00:13but it was foggy, couldn't see anything.

00:1510th and 11th holes, the 10th is playing 177 yards,

00:19straight downwind, a little bit downhill.

00:22I got an eight iron here,

00:23setting up for a little bit of a cut,

00:26and that's just, that's not my natural shot shape

00:29with the irons, I like left pins, not right pins,

00:31so a little mini double cross there,

00:33we catch the left side of the green.

00:35Gotta talk about this hole,

00:36because my brother famously got a hole-in-one on this hole

00:39the first time we ever played it.

00:40It was 2018, first hole-in-one in the family,

00:44first hole-in-one that I had ever seen in person.

00:47We were up on the top dune,

00:49there's two different sets of tees,

00:50this is the lower dune, there's a top dune tee,

00:53and he had a nine iron from 160,

00:56little bit downwind as well, drained it,

00:58so I have to talk about that,

00:59congratulations to my brother.

01:00We get up there, and as you can tell,

01:02I'm on the left side of the green,

01:04we got ourselves a hell of a lag putt,

01:06the wind is blowing that flag,

01:08very difficult to judge lag putts in general,

01:10but especially out here, this green's right by the ocean,

01:13the wind's humming, couple cocktails, see how we do here.

01:17You'd rather miss long than short,

01:19make sure you gave it a little bit of a shot,

01:20and that's exactly what we did.

01:22Read it right, a big thanks to my caddie,

01:24shout out to Odie, did a pretty decent putt,

01:26but a little bit past,

01:26so we gotta make one a little slidey one in the weather,

01:29a big shout out to Peter Millar,

01:31this was probably the highlight outfit of the week

01:34for your boy, a lot of compliments,

01:36I threw the green hat on, green vest,

01:38I'm showing you other footage too,

01:39I had a Carolina blue V-neck sweater on,

01:43I had this fantastic gray jacket

01:45that was a little thicker that I wore at night,

01:47PeterMillar.com slash foreplay,

01:49they got their best line, including the all course line,

01:52which is one of their new lines from this year,

01:53so go check out all their great options

01:55at PeterMillar.com slash foreplay,

01:57here we go, for par, to clean this up,

01:59and I gotta be honest, we read that thing right,

02:02we really did, we just hit it a little bit

02:04through the break, I mean that thing finished

02:06a cup past, a cup to the right of the hole,

02:09after we putted it from the left of the hole,

02:11so that bad boy, yeah, that's a tricky putt,

02:13I'm upset, it's a fun hole,

02:14I really like, look at those arms are flailing,

02:16now we're onto the 11th, look at this thing man,

02:18to go from that hole on the 10th,

02:19you're staring at the Pacific Ocean,

02:21cruise right over to the 11th hole,

02:23bunkers everywhere, all cliff side down the left,

02:26a beautiful little par, three, I've hit six iron

02:29into this hole before, we played it a couple years ago,

02:31and it was 135, blowing straight into the wind,

02:34this one total opposite, 122, downwind,

02:38significantly downwind, so I just have a little bit

02:40of a wedge, it's a good amount of club,

02:42but I was thinking smooth, simple,

02:44you really don't want to come up short,

02:45and hopefully this would go kind of up in the air,

02:47have some English on it, and end up near the hole,

02:50it just hit it a little bit thin,

02:52it did land just right of the hole,

02:54but didn't have any English on it that I would like,

02:56a downwind like that, you can watch that ball

02:58skip and scamper to the back of the green,

03:01so once again, we've got ourselves a daunting lag putt,

03:05I tried to take this phone,

03:06give yourself a little bit of a view,

03:07we got the blue sky, we got the Pacific,

03:10and we got ourselves like a 40 or 50 foot putt

03:12into the wind, so here we go, laggy,

03:15looking great, Peter Millar, another great read,

03:17but back into the wind, you're really thinking,

03:20you're thinking it's downhill the whole way,

03:21but back into that wind, it's tricky,

03:23wind kind of holds it up, so after everybody else putts out,

03:26Rich, good job boys, nice work,

03:28you set up the phone, set up this view,

03:29so that you're looking at the ocean behind you,

03:31you set up this putt, I thought it was like four,

03:34five feet, looks like it was more like eight or nine feet,

03:36we got this bad boy for par, confidence stroke,

03:39he drills it in there, that one feels great,

03:42wave to the crowd, and again,

03:43you got to show off this golf course a little bit,

03:45a couple of views you're looking at here to conclude.

03:47All right, back to back part threes,

03:49that's just how you do it, two greens regulation,

03:52five putts, but we did it, we look great doing it,

03:55big shout out to Peter Millar,
