00:00Folks, welcome to Greyhawk Golf Club's rafter course.

00:03Obviously, I've filmed a bunch of stuff here,

00:05but this little three-hole stretch

00:06is a little bit different.

00:07I'm gonna play this little stretch

00:09that I like to call the gettable stretch.

00:12Six, seven, and eight.

00:13They're fun, they're playable.

00:15It's a very difficult golf course from the tips,

00:17which is where we're playing.

00:18So if you play these holes,

00:19you're gonna have to try to score decently.

00:21So here we go.

00:22The sixth hole is a 350-yard par four,

00:24straight back into the sun this time of day.

00:26It's absolutely gorgeous.

00:28Full disclosure, I couldn't see anything here,

00:30so I just twirled it and acted like I loved it.

00:32Straight into the sun, couldn't tell.

00:34Turns out, we got up there, and it's in the right rough.

00:36Now, the rough here, as you can see,

00:38the grass is a little bit dormant,

00:39so it's almost like a dry but bushy kind of feel to it.

00:44So you don't know exactly how it's gonna come out.

00:46We got about 98 yards, I think we had,

00:48to the flag at a 54-degree wedge.

00:50The pin is sort of middle-right over this bunker,

00:53and anything that lands on the back tier

00:55runs off the green to the back,

00:56especially out of this rough.

00:58So I was kind of aiming at it

00:59and figured if I draw it or pull it, it should be fine.

01:01That was exactly what I did.

01:02You can see it kind of starts a little left,

01:04but it was hit pretty well,

01:05holds its line, and catches the front left of the green.

01:08We're faced here with what I would say

01:09is maybe a 30-foot putter, so it goes up this slope

01:13and then should kind of hold its line.

01:15So we got a lag putt.

01:16We're gonna see how we do here.

01:21Oh!

01:23Hopefully Alex the Bushman zoomed in on that,

01:25because that looked like it was gonna curl in.

01:28It broke left to right,

01:29and I thought it would break a little bit back to the left.

01:31As you can see, we're flabbergasted.

01:32Something you're gonna be flabbergasted by,

01:34but in a phenomenal way, is EZ-GO.

01:37I've got an EZ-GO golf cart in Pinehurst.

01:39I've had it for maybe two or three years now.

01:41It's got cool rims on it.

01:42It's a four-seater.

01:43Every time I'm in town, I load everybody up.

01:45I pull this thing out of the garage.

01:46When I get there, pretty much the entire trip,

01:48I never charge it again.

01:49The battery life is phenomenal.

01:51Put all kinds of stuff from different dealers,

01:53different golf clubs that use

01:54other manufacturers of golf carts.

01:56They have issues that they just hate dealing with.

01:58I've never had a single problem,

01:59and if I did, the warranty is great.

02:02They hit me up, or I hit them up,

02:03and they're like, everything okay?

02:04Yep, everything's phenomenal.

02:05So, life's just better in a golf cart.

02:07I've said that a bunch, and it's way better in EZ-GO.

02:09Well, look at this EZ-GO that they've got at Greyhawk.

02:11All their golf carts are EZ-GOs.

02:12This thing glistening with the Greyhawk logo.

02:15EZ-GO, mountains, blue, beautiful.

02:18Here we go, we're on the seventh hole.

02:19This is a 500-yard par five.

02:22A little bit of trouble up the left side.

02:24This thing is called Caddy Wampus.

02:26Wampus?

02:27Off to get the story on that, but here we go.

02:29We're trying to hit a nice, smooth drive up the right.

02:31As you can see, there's like that little thimble

02:33of fairway up the right that you're trying to hit it up.

02:35I started it there.

02:36We're setting up to hit a little draw,

02:37and I hit kind of a little toe hooky.

02:39Luckily, it landed on the left side of the fairway,

02:41dribbled into the left rough.

02:42Should've held up, and once we got up there

02:43in our EZ-GO, yep, it did.

02:45It caught the left side, so we're just gonna lay up.

02:47I looked on the golf cart, looked at the pin.

02:49It's front right.

02:50There's a little ridge behind it,

02:51so as long as you get it up there,

02:52you can kind of pitch one into the ridge

02:54and try to get one close.

02:55So a nice little layup here with a four,

02:57and I had a good view, and this was flush.

02:59Hopefully, you got the sound on that one,

03:00because that was nice.

03:01Now we got about a 50-yard pitch.

03:03I think it was like 52 yards or something like that.

03:05Zoomed in for you guys.

03:06Again, there's a backstop.

03:07Beautiful look at the mountains.

03:08This is kind of a twilight sunset spin at Greyhawk.

03:11I would say the Raptor course is probably in the running

03:12for the best golf course overall in the state of Arizona.

03:15It's that good.

03:16They've hosted PGA Tour event,

03:17Barstow Classic Championship, NCAA Championships.

03:20Here we go.

03:21We're gonna try to spin one in there,

03:22land it behind on the ridge, spin it back, and we did.

03:24Just an excellent shot there.

03:26That one felt good.

03:26Let me go get that sand.

03:28Let me go get that sand.

03:29Maintain the golf course.

03:31Turf crew, thank you guys.

03:32Looking to be jogging, running, keeping that pace of play.

03:34All right, here we go.

03:35We're up here.

03:36We got a pretty good look for Birdie

03:37as we get to 100 through two

03:38with one of my favorite holes in Arizona coming up next.

03:41Oh!

03:42Really didn't think that was gonna break too much.

03:43I thought at maybe the very end,

03:44it would just peel a little bit right,

03:45but broke more than I thought.

03:47That's a tap in par.

03:48We are even through two.

03:50We're gonna take a look at the eighth hole

03:52at Greyhawks Raptor.

03:53It's my favorite hole on the course.

03:55This is the hardest pin on this hole.

03:57Sort of up on this little knob on the right side

03:59as a man that typically draws his irons.

04:01Not my favorite pin to get at,

04:03but again, you see the mountains in the background.

04:05The way that this hole is bunkered,

04:07everything that glans left and over those bunkers

04:09kicks right onto the green.

04:11Right pin, we got a six irons, 187 yards,

04:14and I hit a pretty good one.

04:16I started a little bit left with a little bit of a draw.

04:19So it's gonna land on kind of the left side of the green

04:22and everything does kick towards the middle of the green,

04:23like I said.

04:24So got up there and yep, balls in a pretty good spot.

04:27I mean, for me with a six iron with that right pin,

04:29it's hard for me to get much closer than that.

04:31I would almost have to start it over the bunker

04:32and draw it at that pin, which is pretty crazy.

04:34So we got yet another probably 25 footer for birdie

04:37to get to one under through three.

04:39Never got it started on line,

04:40just kind of pushed it out to the right,

04:42but excellent pace.

04:43Playing the tips at Greyhawks Raptor course,

04:45and we got through those three holes at even par.

04:47I did mention they're the gettable holes, sure,

04:49but with a player at my skill level,

04:50nothing's really gettable.

04:51It could be chaos all over the place,

04:52desert, problems, bushes, just golf in general.

04:55So got through it, it was great.

04:57We know what else is great is easy to go to.

04:58The best in the business, they're reliable,

05:00they do it for a long time,

05:01and they make awesome golf carts

05:02so you can customize life's better in an easy go,

05:04even par through three.

05:09Four!
