  • Welcome BACK to the latest installment of the Breaking series, where we put golfers of varying handicaps up against Major Championship courses from the same tees as the pros. Today, we’re at Pinehurst #2, the three-time (soon to be four) host of the U.S. Open.
    Chris Triplett is an 8 handicap out of Detroit, MI - he’s attempting to break 90
    Liz Breed is a scratch golfer out of Brooklyn, NY - she’s attempting to break 80
    Mark Stagmeier is an 18.8 handicap (wildly specific) - he’s attempting to break 90
    Pinehurst was designed by Donald Ross (designer of Aronimink GC, Seminole GC, Oak Hill GC, etc.) and opened in 1907. Pinehurst is home to some of the greatest moments in U.S. Open History; notably, Payne Stewart’s par save to win the 1999 U.S. Open over Phil Mickelson.
    Follow along this four-part series to find out who breaks Pinehurst… and who gets broken.

  • @dirkgibbens377
    @dirkgibbens377 2 года назад +1

    Who are these people kidding, with their score goals? I just started watching enough to see their goals, haven't watched them hit a shot yet... but based on their handicaps, the scratch golfer should try to break 90 (but she won't), the 8 handicap should try to break 100 (but he won't), and the 18 handicap should try to break 110 (but he won't). Now time to watch the series and see if I'm right.
    That being said... excellent concept/channel that I somehow just now stumbled upon. I will watch a bunch more videos. And kudos to these three players for getting after it! This has to be an absolutely awesome experience for them!

    Great series! I think the caddies need to help set the score goals because these guys have some seriously over-optimistic targets. An 18.8 would rarely break 90 at their local muni from 6200. Should be entertaining though. Chris should be another stroke over as well as his provisional on hole 3 would have been 3 from the tee not hitting 3 from where it ended up.

    • @ahastar1141
      @ahastar1141 2 года назад +5

      @EdReed20DB 2 года назад +7

      @@ahastar1141 it's fine to be optimistic, but it kinda defeats the purpose of the series title when you know they have 0% chance of "breaking X" and they're using all their strokes within 6 holes. It would be more interesting if they had a chance to hit their goal coming down 18.
