Zac Beat Hank In Golf Using Only A Putter!

What this episode is about

A behind-the-scenes look at a group of friends joking and debating logistics while preparing for a golf challenge, highlighting playful banter, group dynamics, and lighthearted planning. Key moments include music theory talk, daily practice notes, room arrangements, and humorous commentary about equipment and snacks.

Key takeaways

• Audible setup: obsessive room-talk and popcorn chaos overlaid with twitchy scheming—drama dressed as casual banter.
• We gloss over 'practice a little daily' while plotting strategic bed choices—subtext: teamwork beats talent,”
• Two or more 'flies' in the room become a running metaphor for unseen pressure—humor masking collective anxiety.
• Commentary gold: players dissect shots, but the real game is navigating egos, room layouts, and snack logistics.
• PMTV ad read doubles as texture: breaking the fourth wall about service fees reveals pressurized business underpinnings.

13:13 We're at uh we're at the golf course. We're undisclosed golf. We're at the golf course.

13:17 So, right now we're time traveling. This is August. Yeah. Deep August. This could be a vlog in September whenever whenever the invitational comes out.

13:26 We're off. Me, Zach, and Hank are essentially on vacation while everyone else is golfing.

13:32 We have also played plenty of golf holes. So, we put on Yeah, probably what four to six holes.

13:37 Lot of lot of holes. Ball and cup. That's work, man. Swing still terrible. Couldn't be worse. Golf's an impossible sport. If any of you out there good at golf, good for you. Uh or whatever. [ __ ] golf. We have one righty putter. One righty club. It's a putter.

13:56 Okay. If we start basically at the earliest point where like for this for example because of this like [ __ ] you couldn't putt from here but you could start from the fairway and if I gave you 15 extra shots per hole.

14:17 Yeah. I think how many like like really what is it? What are the three? How many? What are the side? Are we like playing a par five?

14:28 No, this is the par four, but like we'll go from the 288 this one. But you start here.

14:34 Okay. 210. Uh, yeah. I'm in on 15 strokes. Yeah, let's do it. All right. So, I have to make a I have to make a four and hope Zach makes a 20. I actually don't. I got to make a four though.

15:05 Punker bunker. Breakfast ball. Off the tea. Te up. No. No. Breakfast ball. Denied.

15:15 Denied. If you take a full swing, you can have a breakfast ball. Okay. You can you can take a full swing.

15:22 Oh my god. And then and then if that doesn't go well, you can hit a second one.

15:27 Yeah, but you got to try and rip this thing. You have 13 more clubs. Breakfast ball should be nothing.

15:35 Practice. All right. All right. You can take a You can take a breakfast. All right. Yeah, you want

15:49 the mallet pooter for this challenge. Oh, no. Not this early, Zach. Not this early.

15:58 All right. Okay. 19 more. I think I'm in his head early. He He was scared to give me a breakfast ball, Golden. I feel good about this. Try to go right in the bunker here.

16:07 Don't go in the bunker. Oh, great shot. Take that fair weight. We'll take that all day.

16:17 Where was that with a wedge earlier? I don't got that with a wedge. That was nice.

16:22 Wedge wedge weight. Way harder to hit than a putter. That was That was That's That's a problem. That's a problem. That's a major problem. I

16:31 assure you I won't be able to replicate that ever. If he's doing that, we like he needs 20 19. He needs 18 shots. We're [ __ ] Oh,

16:46 good bounce. We'll take that bounce all day. Good shots. That could have been a disaster in the bunker, but that like

16:55 if I go in the bunker, I'm sitting two. You're sitting one four. This would This would be good if he was playing like real golf. All right, let's make a party.

17:08 You're away. Go. Stop. Stop. Don't come down. All right. Unreal. Great shot. Birdie putt, but we need a par. If it's not a par, this is over. I mean, it's already over.

17:32 Yeah. Is that going to make a [ __ ] bogey? Oh, I might have just put you in the hole.

17:36 Yeah. Would that be a push? Would that be a push? If I just put you in the hole, is that a push?

17:47 An eagle. I don't think he's putting this 14 times. Wow, Zach. Thank you. Happy, man.

17:58 You were gracious enough. I got I got a great look for birdie. You were gracious enough to give me a couple strokes. You have a great great look for net uh 13 under,

18:07 but you're going to you're going to beat me on this hole by 13 13. What are you going to use?

18:12 You use your 58 on the green? No, I'm not I'm not good enough to even You got a

18:22 Yeah. Yeah. We'll share. Yeah. Yeah. I'm away. I'm probably a wait again. Smart. Smart. That's tough but still. So that was what 10 at worst. Yeah. Unfortunately probably my best golf the entire day.

19:14 All right. So we got less strokes. 17 is What do you think? 15. No, no, no, no. It was 15. You got a 12.

19:25 That was Oh, I just for putted the green and you were on in five. Oh, so you got a nine.

19:32 So, what do you think? Let's go see what this hole looks like. Okay, that was too many. That was Yeah, that was good. That was like That was solid golf out of you.

19:43 I didn't hit a nine today with a full set of clubs, dude. If it's off the tea, what do you think about seven? Is that too many? That was a hell of a second shot you just hit.

20:01 Well, no. You hit my ball like 15 yards closer. Oh, never mind. Good point. Um,

20:05 good second shot we hit. Yeah, if you sp if you started down there, you could get it on the green in three putts and then three putt.

20:21 So, you think five strokes from I make a three. You make an eight. If we go from up here,

20:31 I was saying down there. Up here, you're getting the rough. Yeah. Down there. You it like

20:40 you should be able to do that. Eight. Yeah. Eight works. Whatever. What do you feel good about?

20:46 What do you think you're I make a three or four and you make four? No. If you made a If you made a 10, that' be a four. That' be a two. Six.

21:04 Yeah, sure. Six scores. If you get six strokes and you make a 10, then that's a four.

21:10 You That'd be to to tie the hole, you shoot a four here, right? If I get If I shoot a six or shoot a four plus six?

21:19 Six or seven? Seven. Seven. All right. Okay. Seven. Okay. From up top or down low?

21:25 I'm shoot from up top. Okay. You're shooting. You got to go out there. You got it. All right.

21:32 What do you think about hitting here? Let's go, dude. All right. Twisted tea, one hole challenge. Uh, Zach did not bring his clubs today. He only brought a putter. So, we're going to play a par three. I'm going to play from the red T's. And I'm giving Zach seven strokes. Seven is completely doable.

21:53 He's going to start at the very front of the fairway. Par three, twisted tea. Beautiful day for it.

21:58 What a day. Unreal day. No clubs. No, no, no. Thank you for joining me. All right. Do you got to you got to do a cut where like he like drops it and then open it again.

22:18 Parker, what a day. Unreal day. Beautiful day out here on the course. Wouldn't have it any other way. Cheers, ankle.

22:24 All right, let's make let's make a birdie. Let's do it. Let's see it. Clean shot in. All right, we're on the green.

22:38 I'll keep going. Yeah, keep going. Shot, dude. You might need eight. Might need eight.

22:48 Maybe you want to tee that thing up a little more. You think I think I'm going to I don't know if there's any chance I make contact teed up this high. We'll see though. I think that's what could happen.

23:04 No, just go now. So, you're going to you're starting from the Yeah. Yeah, you're starting.

23:09 Okay. Yeah, let's do it. See you down there. Good. T- shop on the green. This is I'm so mad at math. If Zach makes an 11 - 7, that'd be four. So, if he makes a 10, it's a three. He makes nine, that's a two. So, if I make this, which I'm not going through with a seven iron, you're going to have to make a nine. I can probably get this there. Two, three, 10 to tie, 11 to win.

23:49 I mean, this is this hole is set up beautifully for you. I This is going to be a tough one to win. What do they say? You just need a chance. Just give yourself a chance to putt, right?

24:01 Putt and a chance. That's Yeah, putt and a chance. Is that a golf guy thing? Just need a putt and a chance.

24:08 Yeah, put in a chance. That's what they say. Put in a green, maybe. All right. Good.

24:20 All right. Yeah, good shot. Bunker. These are I don't feel like you wanted the bunker there. I didn't. I said don't do it. I'm happy you didn't. I was going over there. I was like, "Oh, no. Not the bunker." Yeah. Now you're fine. There's water behind, but like so far behind. It would be hard to put it in that water. Don't even think about it. If I move this, is that prove my lie or I'm good.

24:47 Rules. Rules official. You can move that closer to the hole. routing on. That's a problem. That's a problem.

25:10 Good shot. Good. You're going to bogey this. That's a great shot. Appreciate it.

25:14 I think you're away. Didn't get it there. Didn't get it there. How? All right. Good old sex up back. I mean, should we do one more?

25:49 Yeah, it was good. I just wanted to say what an absolutely beautiful day it is out today playing the fantastic sport of golf. But above all things else, beautiful friendship.

27:02 Look at this hole. And you're going from the the tips or you going from the the reds? The reds. wet. That's problem. Get a ball. I got a ball. All right. You need a fairway. That's good. Findable in play. That was sick. I'll say it. That was sick. Thank you. Make that all day. Stay fairway.

27:55 What? Should have been putting all day. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, we needed this. Oh yeah.

28:02 We needed this all day. That's a great shot. That was like a 100 yards. What the [ __ ] All right. What do you guys think? We got like 290 to the pen.

28:19 Keep your fairway, boys. Gone. All right, we're in the rough. I think there's a little creek right there.

28:31 Oh, no. No, I think we're just in the rough. I think we're good. I do see a red stage.

28:37 I think it could be wet down there, but the ball could be dry. What do they say about trees, Zach? Go through them. What else? Uh, bigger they are, the harder they fall.

28:51 Anything else? Like golf specific? Golf specific about trees? [ __ ] them. All right. Yeah, that's the that's the expression. I didn't see which way it was going through. Going right or left. Right.

29:17 I think that's good. Oh, is that or is that it? Maybe the ball. I hit that good. If it was going I didn't see it lane left. I was looking left.

29:26 Good. I feel good about it. The expression Zach was trees are 90% air. Trees are 90% air. when you're golfing, like if you have a cat ear, just in general, it's like even though it's not even true, if like it's like

29:38 should I go around this tree or it's like [ __ ] it, not there's so much air in this tree. Just go straight through it. I like that.

29:43 What do red line mean? Oh, it means you can play it, but you cannot move anything. Like even if you have a [ __ ] up stance or like

29:50 you can't prove anything. No, but I can play it. Can play it. Okay. Or you can take a drop for two shot penalty.

29:56 Okay, we're going to play it as so. So this is shot what Zach. Yeah. It is still up. You can take I don't want I'm going to go this way.

30:34 All right. I don't want to I'll probably take a drop here. So if you want to drop, you can drop in the fairway. It just has to be. It can't be closer. Can't be closer to the hole than you were before. So like back here like you were can't be closer than the red line.

30:55 Okay. So I'm You went three in there, four in there, five in there. Two stroke drop.

31:02 So you're hitting seven. Okay. Good job. Good shot. That's fairway. All we're asking for is fairways.

31:16 No. All square. That's music over there. We're up. Imagine how many times we could have used that earlier. That was a great like that was that was a hundred yards.

31:32 Where was this with the putter today? Well, in short game with the putter of today,

31:37 you should you should never even had a wedge in your hand. Wait, should we have done reverse?

31:43 Driver driver on the green. Yeah, he would have to give me 40 strokes. No, you did driver on the green.

31:50 You just have to reverse. I don't know. Fantastic shot the ground. You got to be 100 yards out. Stop. Stop. Stop.

32:28 Stop. Stop. Stop. Come on. No. It's okay. I actually think you're better from that distance.

32:33 There's more room to work with. Oh, what the Oh, no. That could be worse. You're on the green. What are we doing? This is This just got bad. I think we're on the edge. You got to swing harder.

33:16 Jesus Christ. Hit it, dude. [ __ ] Want me to pull it? Oh, you can leave it in.

33:30 Okay. Oh, bogey. Scramble. Bogey. Tough. Were those viewing? For those viewing, we have no idea who won that. Uh, I think it was close. You at home know who won that. So, congratulations to whoever you're rooting for. Zack.
