Join me for a quick walk around Palm Valley Golf Course. This executive course may not be the best course in the world, but it sure is fun and a great test for your wedges!

all right today is monday and it's a day
was supposed to film pro versus junior
this afternoon but i just got a message
from the junior he's not feeling well we
got rained out last week
we didn't get to do it this week we're
going to do it next week all good so i
drive to southampton and i'm like oh
maybe i'll play
a film 59 watch get to southampton and
there's about
a hundred people getting ready for a
shotgun so can't do that so i'm thinking
here it's a beautiful day i just want to
have a hit
i got my camera with me what the heck
can i do where can i go
and i thought ah there's a place kelly
and i go to called
palm valley it's not the best golf
course in jacksonville but it's not the
worst
it's not the best conditions in
jacksonville it's probably the worst
it's an executive golf course nine holes
two par fours seven
par threes all wedges things like ten
bucks to play i'm gonna go down there
and we're on a quest to dial in the
wedges
and get a hole in one
[Music]
there it is it actually looks in pretty
good shape we're down here in
palm valley florida valley golf usually
it's a lot windier because we come out
in the afternoon
you know your ocean wind is a lot more
really no one playing today they're just
all on the driving range this is gonna
be a lot of fun probably take like half
an hour 45 minutes not even
i say there's two par par fours but
really they're part threes so we'll play
this as a par 27
see if we can uh light it up
a wee bit short see typically when we
come out here
i'll take all the clubs out of my bag
above a nine on here
put kelly's clubs in there just carry
the two of us it's actually an amazing
amazing experience it's
like i said 10 12 12 bucks a person just
to come out and walk
gets windy couldn't feel the wind there
and that thing came up like 10 yards
short
but the greens they're quite shaggy
quite inconsistent
so that's why coming out here it's all
about just aiming at the flags
trying to make a one on the fly or on
the hop and have fun
in the game of golf i mean it's a still
great spot even though it's not perfect
conditions
[Music]
walking up here you'll kind of see why
paying attention to score
isn't necessarily a good idea out here
because the greens are
a little bit shaggy a little bit
bumpy so when we play we kind of play
inside a flag stick is good it's a
little more fun with the wife that way
this one will be fun i have a little bit
of impurities to navigate here but
let's see if we can plinko it on in
[Music]
easy par so here's our
first par 4 of the day 265 yards
is that not the narrowest fairway you've
ever seen
it is like an island green up there well
i shouldn't say now there's water like
right up to the edge of the green
but this fairway is so narrow look at
that
basically i would hit like a nine iron
lob wedge you see guys wait for this
green
i'm gonna go for the green today 256 to
the flag you can't be short you can be a
little
a little to the right you cannot be long
you're you're ob but look
narrowest fairway i've ever seen
okay a little off the heel so i missed
it in the right spot for this far
forward
navigated it pretty well you can see me
right there
snuck it in this little bit obviously
it's quite wet right now
but this is our tiny little green
thankfully this is only my
second shot on the par four but yeah
pretty fun pretty fun hole oh and
there's some horses over there
a little bit soft on this green
like guys in water unfortunately
it's like augusta pine needles super
soft greens
see if i can dj this one
ah poppity hop hop hop
good par
so you survived the third hole the tough
long third hole longest hole in the golf
course
get over here to four 210 yard
par four but we're calling it a power
three today that actually was a bogey in
the last hole they're one over par
come on man get it together
we're dancing in another video i did
where i played a 12-hole golf course i
asked you
you know what were your thoughts on that
and i'm really curious what your
thoughts are
on par 3 golf courses let me know down
below let's get into a little dialogue
do you like it do you think it's dumb do
you think it's great for golf do you
think it gets people into golf do you
think it
annoys people too much yeah just curious
i love par three golf courses i wish
there were more of them
unfortunately they're not things like
this the part three golf courses that
exist are often
kind of not in the best shape they're
kind of afterthoughts and that kind of
keeps people away from part three golf
courses
but there are some par three golf
courses that are in immaculate shape
which i think grows the notion of
building more par three golf courses
so what do you think let's uh let's talk
about it in the comments
from 186. it's pretty good
[Music]
that's a three
now we're going to last five holes and
it's five holes
they're all wedges
close but no cigar
[Music]
there's a birdie there's two four holes
left four hole in one left one thing
that's usually cool about this hole
maybe it's not today because i'm here in
the afternoon here in the evenings
usually horses right here if you have a
bit of a gallery
of some thoroughbreds to watch you hit
it and you could feed them pet them
one of the cool little treats here
high but not the right line another pin
high shot so like
the reality is coming out here and
hitting wedges even though the greens
aren't perfect it's hard to make putts
on them
it's actually a great little practice
because
if i can be dialing in these wedges
distance wise
i'm so so happy with things and
obviously the direction it's a
you want that one but i'll take wedges
this close all day
[Music]
oh look at that snaked it in there two
birdies in a row
102 back into the wind
it's a flight a little 54 right at it
distance was perfect again but it just
goes a little left
ah a little bit shaggier this green with
some leaves as well
it's quite a demise let's not worry
about those leafs
through the leaves that's three birdies
in a row come on
come on 99 yards here this hole
i think is kelly's favorite she came oh
so close to a hole in one here one of
the times we played kelly is just
getting back into the game and
she loves this course so it's a par
29 seven threes 21 two fours
she shot i think like 34 here she made
five bogies and four pars
no she made five bogies
three pars and a birdie to shoot four
over
like that's her lowest score she's ever
shot i mean it's a short course but she
felt so great about it and this one
i think she hit like maybe a nine iron
and it was like
this close short of the hole
we're basically having a contest who can
get a hole in one first at palm valley
ah the wind's moving it
the deadpin high once again
four in a row four twos in a row never
done that in my life
that's amazing one more one more left so
this is the ninth hole
you can see the green is used to be back
there or it is back there they've been
renovating it
here's a temporary green it's 43 yards
typically i just hit a putter here for
fun
if i'm with kelly and the first time i
did it i actually did
hit the pin which was pretty i don't
even know if that would count like if i
made a hole in one hitting a putter for
43 yards
i don't really know how i feel about
that so
it's gonna like bump and run a 54 degree
and try to finish with five twos in a
[Music]
row
pin high once again not bad typically i
think
by the rules this would be uh good
because it's
inside the flagstick but i mean
this is youtube we got to make these
shaggy putts
on the fairway
come on five birdies in a row
could say six but we call that a bar
three so we'll
we'll let the controversy happen in the
comments uh five twos in a row no matter
how you cut it that's pretty awesome i
hope you enjoyed this video it was a lot
of fun
it took me like 30 minutes to play this
work on the wedges work on the slow
greens
give this video a thumbs up subscribe if
you're not subscribed and i'll see you
in the next one
peace
