00:00Right, for my next challenge, I'm really ramping things up.
00:03This time, it's the 100 foot crazy putt challenge.
00:06From here, all the way out there,
00:08I've got 25 balls to do it.
00:10Challenge accepted.
00:16Okay, so for episode three of Challenge Accepted,
00:18I really wanted to increase the level of difficulty.
00:20We're actually at my home club here,
00:22Burley Park Golf Club in Stamford, Lincolnshire,
00:24and it's a bitterly cold day in December.
00:27My hands are absolutely freezing.
00:28But, I think it's gonna be a really exciting video.
00:31So, as I said, I've got a 100 foot putt here.
00:33I'm just gonna measure that with my Bushnell rangefinder
00:35just to confirm.
00:37So, we are 34 yards away from the flag.
00:41So, just over 100 feet.
00:43And looking at some ARCOS data that I got
00:46would suggest that make percentage
00:49from this sort of distance,
00:50a tour pro is around about 4%.
00:52So, one in 25.
00:53So, I'm completely up against it with this challenge.
00:56It's gonna be incredibly difficult.
00:57Not only when you factor in the temperature,
01:00but also the fact the 16th green here at Burley Park
01:03is a little bit quirky.
01:04Let's go and take a look and explain why.
01:12Right, so before we start this challenge,
01:13I just wanna show you the quirkiness
01:15of this 16th green here at Burley Park.
01:17As you can see, it's a very long green from front to back.
01:19But as we get kind of two thirds of the way up
01:21towards the hole, you see you've got this big slope
01:23goes up the hill.
01:24And it's not a traditional two-tier green
01:25and that would continue all the way along.
01:27It then drops down.
01:28So, you've got this kind of big,
01:29sleeping policeman style hump.
01:31Goes up all the way down,
01:32makes judging the pace incredibly difficult.
01:35But also the line of the putt after it comes down the hill
01:38can get a bit wobbly and it's quite difficult to read.
01:40So, I'm definitely up against it with this challenge.
01:42Not only with the distance,
01:43but the quirkiness of the green,
01:45the temperature of the wind,
01:46everything's working against me
01:47and I've only got 25 balls to do it.
01:48So, it's gonna be really difficult.
01:50But let's get it underway and see how we do.
01:57Come on.
02:03I'll tell you what, it's not,
02:07not the worst opener,
02:10but I hit it very hard.
02:12Looked like it moved a little bit right to left.
02:15So, a bit harder, a little bit more to the right.
02:17Come on.
02:25Oh, it's a bit jumpy.
02:28Right next to the first one, consistent.
02:35That's got a chance.
02:36It's got a chance.
02:40Oh!
02:44Oh, it's happening.
02:46It's happening, 25, that's too many.
02:48I don't need that many.
02:49Probably in an actual round,
02:52I'd probably chip this with a seven.
02:54Oh, it's looking tasty.
02:56That's a bit left.
02:59Oh!
03:01Can't feel my fingers, which I don't think is helping.
03:09Do it, do it!
03:11Oh!
03:13No!
03:17No, that was so close.
03:21Oh!
03:25That's unbelievably close.
03:26Right.
03:29Go.
03:31Go, go.
03:34Go.
03:36Oh!
03:38Give it a nudge out of the way.
03:42Oh!
03:43It's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.
03:48Pulled it.
03:49No.
03:51Oh!
03:53What I haven't explained yet is that there is a forfeit
03:57if I don't do this challenge, which is embarrassing.
04:00Watch to the end, because it could get quite entertaining.
04:08No.
04:13It's getting worse.
04:14No, no, no.
04:18Oh!
04:21Go!
04:2311 balls in.
04:26Not really.
04:27Only got three past the hole, so.
04:32Not hard enough.
04:44So I'm over halfway through.
04:51Definitely hard enough.
04:54All right.
04:57Go, go, go, go.
05:04Most of them on the left as well,
05:05so you need to aim more right, hit it harder.
05:17Got it there, got it there.
05:21Get it there.
05:30Go, go.
05:32Go.
05:34Go, go.
05:37What?
05:41No, no.
05:42No.
05:47I can't believe that.
05:49How's that missed?
05:52Oh, I don't believe it.
05:56Ooh, I must have like, lipped out or nearly.
06:04That was it.
06:06Oh dear.
06:08Okay, eight balls left.
06:10Obviously the likelihood of me making this
06:13is going down all the time,
06:15but I'm getting that feedback loop.
06:18I know exactly what the putt's going to do.
06:20So I know how hard I need to hit it.
06:23I know what line I need to hit it on,
06:25but from a hundred feet,
06:27yes, there's a lot of stuff that can go wrong.
06:33Well, that's awful.
06:35I'm not sure about that.
06:42It's starting to rain as well.
06:45Oh!
06:47Back and through, bosh.
06:50Barely.
06:54What are you doing?
07:01That is absolutely toilet.
07:08Oh, it's gone, it's gone.
07:11Oh!
07:14No!
07:17Oh, that was it.
07:18Ah!
07:19Three balls left.
07:23Oh, that's it, that's it.
07:25No, it's not.
07:29Oh, did I hit the balls?
07:41Okay, this is it.
07:47One ball left.
07:49Moat the truth.
07:52Imagine the scenes if this goes in.
07:55Oh, so cold.
07:56All right, come on.
07:59Come on.
08:17Oh!
08:25That's it.
08:28Challenge failed.
08:29First time I've failed a challenge.
08:31Gave it a good go.
08:33How this ball didn't go in,
08:35I'll never know,
08:36but didn't really hit it.
08:39There's only like two or three
08:40that really scared the hole.
08:43Absolutely gutted to have failed my first ever challenge.
08:47But gave it a good go.
08:49We'll see now, as I said,
08:51there is an embarrassing forfeit.
08:53So I need to find out what that is.
08:55But right now, I just need to go and take a moment
08:57and reflect on the miserable failure
09:00that has been this challenge.
09:01But hopefully you enjoyed it.
09:03And let's go and see what I've got to do.
09:07Right, so I finished the challenge.
09:08I was hoping I could go into the clubhouse,
09:10have a nice warm cup of tea
09:11and warm myself up a bit.
09:12But I've just got a text to say
09:14that my forfeit for not completing this challenge
09:16is to clean people's clubs
09:18as they come in and finish their round.
09:19So I'm going to have to stick around for a little bit,
09:22wait for people to come in,
09:23give their clubs a polish
09:24before I can get nice and warmed up.
09:26So that's my punishment.
09:28Morning.
09:29How are you?
09:30I'm good, you?
09:31I'm good.
09:32Can I clean your clubs for you?
09:36I'm ready.
09:38Oh, you've got, these are quite new, aren't they?
09:40Yeah, they should be.
09:41G430s, yeah.
09:45Give them a good scrub.
09:50These wedges need some attention.
09:53Can I give your clubs a quick clean?
09:56Sorry?
09:57Can I give your clubs a clean?
09:59Yeah?
10:00Let me have a, let me give them a go.
10:02Ping Zing 2s, you don't see those every day.
10:06Bit of a scrub.
10:09Oh, look at that, Ping Zing.
10:11Three iron.
10:13Beautiful.
10:14Beautiful.
10:17No worries.
10:20So that's it, we're all finished here.
10:21Clubs cleaned.
10:22I hope you enjoyed this challenge.
10:23Unfortunately, didn't complete it this time,
10:25but I will do my best on the next one.
