The MOST FAMOUS golf course in the world! #Break75 Ep10

Special one today. This is it, St Andrews, old course, break 75, episode number 10. This is just a special place, home of golf. This is where it all started, on this very golf course I'm going to play today. This is where the greats have played, where Seve won, Tigers won, just an amazing venue. So we're going to go out and play today. I'm going to play with Steve North who's one of the head pros here at St Andrews. As you can see from my jacket and the rain, and you might get a bit of rain on the lens today, it's raining. We've got proper traditional Scottish weather today and I'm going to be dead honest with you right now, I don't think I've ever been as nervous as I am right now. And it's like nervous excitement. In the first hole, it's the biggest fairway in bloody golf, my legs already feel like they're kind of going a little bit. Let's hope we get off to a good start, let's hope we hit a nice one off the starting hole. Let's get out there. That feels good. My heart is pounding out of my chest, like my legs, my feet, my hands, everything. But we got it away, I made contact, we're down the fairway. That was good, nice feeling. I'm chuffed about that. Now it's time to settle in and play some golf. That would have been a dream start. Not disappointed because I'll take par every day, but that would have been a dream start. My second shot down here on the second, I've actually pulled it a little bit onto the 17th fairway, which is fine. A lot of the greens you'll see today are massive double greens. There's a white flag on this green and a red flag, but the red flag is for the 16th. These greens are gigantic. I didn't catch it. Oh, I didn't catch that one, but it's kind of run through the rough and maybe got on the green. But don't forget, this isn't manufactured. A course designer didn't come in and build these mounds. This is the natural lie of the land, which is what makes it so fascinating. Good roll, Rick. Well done. If someone would have said to me this morning, you can open up with three pars on the old course and snatch the hand off. I'm all right with that. Three greens in regulation. Three pars. That is absolutely perfect. Absolutely perfect. That's what I like to hear. Absolutely perfect. Thank you. Look at this. Nearly went in. That's where it's pitched. It must have gone pretty close because it's finished there. We've got a tapping birdie on the fourth hole. Let's go. One under. Yeah, bye. Have I got a three wood bullet in the locker? Must have been a strut that pure. It wouldn't have been enough club, but I hit that really nice. This is the first of the par fives, but we're in good shape. This green, by the way, is absolutely ginormous. Ah, didn't break. Silly bogey there. Back to the level. Realistically, I wonder how many shots my short game has cost me this series. Like those little chips. It's all in here as well. It's all into the rain. I'm putting, I think. Nice. They all count. Perfect. Perfect and well done are the words I like to hear. Oh, pulled it. If anything, it's a tiny bit long, but I reckon I pitched it near the flag. Lagging, but like I said, that is a long way left, but we're putting. Nine holes in so far. Currently level par. One birdie, one bogey. Lots of opportunities. But in these conditions, I'm taking that so far. But you know after nine holes, we don't just rack up the score. We also dive into some food. Now, we don't actually have a sausage roll here. This is a pasta, which is called a birdie. On the menu, it's saying it's chicken and leek pastry. Let's give it a go. Yeah, the pasta didn't last. I end up going for a mozzarella baguette instead. This is very nice, actually. I'm not going to rate it, though. It doesn't deserve a rating, but it's nice. So, we've had an incident. Those two birds fighting over there are actually fighting over my baguette. So, the pasta didn't last. The baguette didn't last. Not having much luck. Let's hope my luck changes. Okay, pulled up the left, but I've got lucky. I've missed all of the horrible stuff. Down the hill, left to right. Wind's going to help it a fraction. Oh, and you leave it short. Aye, aye, aye. Oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold a second. Oh, yeah, that's lovely. That's what I meant. I honestly thought I was heading towards that massive hill bunker, but luckily it's over it and we're putting. Whoa, Ricky. Really didn't want to do that. One over. That was a silly mistake. That was a good tee shot as well there. Where's that vanished to? We're putting. That's all that matters. I feel like it really just hit me that I lost my lunch two hours ago. Anyway, birdie putt. Oh, Rick. Where's my speed control gone? It's a par. Shouldn't grumble. I just really, really want to go back to level par. Oh, that's a really annoying bogey. Okay, so I'm just waiting for the 14th green to clear here. It's par five. I've hit a decent drive. I was a bit annoyed because I've just missed fairway left and I know if you hang it on the fairway, bound down, I've probably got another 50 yards out of it. From here, though, it's not too horrendous. I'm 209 yards to the front. It's very gettable to get onto the green. I feel like I just need to make one more birdie the next couple of holes because bear in mind we've got 16, 17, 18, all very, very challenging, difficult holes. Maybe not 18 so much, but the heart might start pounding again. It's just a wonderful experience. To be out here and play this golf course is awesome. We found the bunker. Ideally, I wanted to play this around the gulf and not find a single bunker, but you come to St Andrews and play the old course, you've kind of got to experience it all, right? Little pop bunker here. Fingers crossed I should be able to throw this all the way there. That's pretty crap. I'm going. 17th hole. Look at this. The road hole where you've literally got to hit it. Where it says old course hotel, you've got to get the ball landing on that line. You've got to carry that shed and obviously got the infamous 18th hole. I'm two over to break 75. I've got to go par-par and I've got this tee shot to face and the pin is back left as well behind the road hole bunker. Oh, it's a bit left. Brickley, might there be... So far left, I'm over the bunker. Well, you can go maybe almost left of the road hole bunker to almost get it on the back of the 18th to come the other way in. Listen, Steve, you think I'm some sort of novice around here, I've been plotting my way strategically all around. I like it, I like it. I pulled it left into the rough. It was a safe miss. Now, it's made this hole tremendously long because I'm hitting back into wind. I've got to carry, on this line, I've got to carry the road hole bunker and that's pretty much it that I've got against me. I'm like 185 yards left into the flag and in fact, I've not even brought enough club with me. Might have to go and get a five iron. Carry, carry. Oh, oh, that's awesome. It looks like it's tapping. It might not be, but it looks outrageously close. Best shot I've ever hit in my life. That's probably the best second shot I've seen in there, probably ever. I played it in, big high draw, landed like a butterfly with sore feet and just rode past the flag. Little birdie opportunity on 17. I didn't think I'd have a birdie opportunity on this hole, but we've got a look at it. Right, come on, Rick. Come on. Not a religious man, but I pray for this to go in. Oh, it's low. Pathetic. Oh, I shouldn't complain about a par on that hole, but I must admit, I feel like I'm going to lose a bit of sleep over that put tonight. Either way, two over and this last hole to go. See, this is now downwind, Rick, so I reckon you can get this very close. It's quite soft, that's the only negative, but you're... I just don't know how close I want to get. Oh, I see. I need to get closer than close for putting or I need to lay it way back. You should be doing your Jack Nicklaus moment here, taking your sweater off. And pumping it up. And then pumping it on the green. 18th hole, one of the most famous holes in golf. What a finish. All work, yes. I've got a chance. You can't come to St Andrew's Old Course without sitting on the Swilcombe Bridge and getting a banger Instagram. As we mosey on down the 18th hole. It's been an awesome experience, it really has. Playing with Steve with all of his knowledge and experience around here has definitely helped me as well today, because just having those trust on certain lines, etc. It's been emotional walking down here. This is the home of golf. This is where it started. And to be able to put a cool video together that hopefully you guys enjoy and to be putting a nice round together is also really important. I need to make par on the last to shoot 74, which I'd be over the moon with. Right, I'm at the front of the green. Almost drove it, I must admit. If it was a bit drier, I would have got on. I'm gonna go with putter. I am. Just because we've got a good score going, there's no point in embarrassing myself right now. Let's give it a smack up the hill, get it on the green. Well done. Get in! Right, see you next time. I said Andrew's Old Course. Steve, thanks pal. That was wicked. Thanks buddy. Wow, awesome. Yes!
