18 Holes At ERIN HILLS GC | 8000+ YARD COURSE!! | 420 Yard Drive | 140k Subscriber Special!!

[@joebonetti475]

Stop apologizing, Kyle, it's fkn 8,000, prolly 150 slope. Bogeys are GOOD. You're your own worst enemy. You're a fkn amazing golfer, get your confidence up!!

[@1b0o0]

Yeah, I think Erin Hills played at around 7,700 in the 2017 US Open. Adding an extra 300 yards makes it much harder, but Koepka shot -16 for the tournament. The gap is still huge for Kyle.

[@andyhooper8641]

@@1b0o0 Brooks also beat a field of PGA Tour players by 4 strokes. Most of the field was WAY over par on the final day. The gap was huge for everyone to Koepka that tournament.

[@1b0o0]

@@andyhooper8641 there were lots of -12, -10, etc... It's a US Open, so conditions would be worse than what Kyle encountered here, and normally, under-par rounds in the US Open should be an anomaly. He even said at the beginning that the rough was not that bad. There is a huge gap between KZbin golf and pro golf.

[@andyhooper8641]

@@1b0o0 Well no kidding there's a big gap. But you dont use a historically low winning score at the US Open as a benchmark to an amateur. There's a huge gape between the top guys on tour and the lower guys on tour too. Maybe most importantly, you think Kyle doesn't know that? You literally commented just to crap on someone being encouraging like Kyle is so stupid he doesn't realize he's not as good as Brooks Koepka.

[@braedo21]

@@andyhooper8641 well said sir. It’s awesome Kyle is pushing a course like this to it’s limit for an amateur and being genuine about the highs and lows of his round

[@stevedurnin4590]

Kyle you are hitting that 2 iron perfectly. It's as much of a weapon as your driver and you did not miss with it. We all love seeing the 400 yard bombs but you are hitting that 2 iron well over 300 and leaving it in spots you can attack from.

[@z1osufan]

NO LIES DETECTED!!!

[@Cardamander]

Yeah he can easily go 2 iron, 5 iron or 6 iron into these 500 yard par 4s. Much better than wasting strokes getting back in position after driver.

[@cmoney811]

Played this course from 7000 yards over a decade ago, so definitely not the same. However still a beast. I had the same goal. To break 80. Parred the last hole playing about 625 to shoot 79! Definitely a highlight for me. And it was only $99! Those days are long gone. Thanks kyle for coming to Wisconsin. Barring the private country clubs, there's definitely a number of other stellar, and tough courses many of us would love to see you play from the tips!

[@roganleach1384]

I love the videos with Bernie. He's very knowledgeable on the game and his point about the leading edge from the fescue was really helpful. Would love to see more of him on the channel.

[@micah6615]

Bernie is a Stud! Awesome Knowledge Thanks Bernie

[@jumpoffstake5875]

Who is this guy?! And what did you do to Kyles fierce beard?! 😂

[@mattbasford6299]

He looks much better now

[@ryanpaukune6659]

Kyle you are a beast. You became the best in the world at something which is a feat that is almost impossible to achieve. Many talented people work very hard at something for a long time and never even come close to achieving that. You are maybe the greatest long driver of all time which means you have the talent, the drive and you know what it takes. Sometimes it looks like you are so hard on yourself that you almost hold yourself back. You get to play golf for a living bro, so you are quite fortunate. Enjoy the journey man.

[@boopah4365]

He said Erin Hills and Whistling Straits are 2 if his top 3 hardest courses he's played...That's two right here in Wisconsin! Go Bucks!!

[@rideoutsean]

wisconsin is really underground in terms of golf tbh, beautiful courses

[@tadontplay0]

I love the 18 hole videos with the course management strategy. The fescue tip is a good one, thanks. One thing I noticed though is Kyle kept over reading the putts and missing on the same side.

[@Theiliteritesbian]

Ya i havent watched the whole thing but as i'm sure he realized looking back he isnt finishing the put 'in position' and is pushing

[@dontsirmee]

Love that you play great courses and show how tough these classic tracks can be!

[@HillbillyJedi88]

Great vid Kyle and looking forward to more. Love seeing driver vs. iron off the tee. Sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't. After watching some of your videos, I've started playing holes backwards from the center of the green to the tee box. I'm super confident with my gap wedge from 120 and am playing off the tee to that number. It's made a difference too because I'm typically a 18+ handicaper and just shot my best round ever of 84 last week with not a single lost ball. Keep up the hard work and thank you!

[@quinnready2936]

Thanks for taking us along on your journey! You can do it!

80 on a 8000 yard course is awesome. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy them

[@jacobmccain8082]

Would have been so epic if Kyle yelled "This driver sucks!" after that first tee shot 😂 I know it's the Indian not the arrow and this was probably shot before that debacle, but that was my first thought.

[@lbs373]

I freaking love the 18 hole videos

[@georgespalding7640]

Shooting 80 from the "Tips" with 4 or 5 Penalty Strokes is really a damn good score. Kyle's irons today were really struck well. Some of those Drives are a little wild but the putting was very good too.

[@aichampionofficial]

That 8000 yard Links style course (fescue rough), wind and brutal lies (bunkers) and brutal slopes reminds me of Links courses over here in the UK. The fairways, luckily are not as tight as in the UK. I believe you when you say it plays tougher than Torrey Pines. That course was brutal - no small wonder it got you down. Gotta take your buddy Bryson DeChambeau out to Erin Hills GC before he plays in the Open at St. Andrews (a course where long hitter John Daly won). Would love to see you do a tough course like this together. If your putting improves you’ll be impressive! Quite a few shots dropped on 3 putts. I did enjoy that 410 yard drive. Thanks for doing this vlog. I love watching guys who love pushing the envelope between tech and performance.

[@danielboeningGySgtDanGer]

Another thing to think about is the distance in to the green for your next shot. You hit your 2 iron as far if not Further than everyone on the planet, and extremely accurate. I’m done being excited about you hitting the D 450yards. I do enjoy a good strike down pound town, but I love watching you go low more. That’s not easy on an Ego, which you’ve done an excellent job of reigning in. I’ve been playing this game since 1990, and I know my limitations, but still have to check my ego or I wouldn’t be a 6 handicap. When I play with the younger men, I tend to try and swing out of my shoes, so ego has a huge influence on managing the game. If I get one out 330, it’s a striped show with gale force winds behind me, but it’s what we do after the drive that gets the low scores. Keep grinding! You have what it takes, to play on the PGA big boys tour, and hope by next season we see you getting into some PGA events. MONDAY qualifiers at opens which I know you can be on those leader boards. Your coach seems really knowledgeable, and honestly seems to care about you personally which is the ingredients for success! Plus I know your Pop like to play and watch. It would be amazing to see you win a tourney in the next 2 years, and share with him. God bless, hope to see you back with the maniacs this winter down in Texas. Fan for life!

[@danielboeningGySgtDanGer]

HUGE PAR ON #13! Still a bit confused how that 1st putt ended up so far away. Out camera angle made it look like it stopped at the hole. Great roll for the par!

Kyle, you were so gutsy on #14 with your 2 iron, so yes I'm subscribing! FYI my son just turned 16, he plays Torrey quite a bit. I was lucky to see him score an Eagle on #8 from about 95 yards. Ball hung on the lip for about 3 seconds and dropped. We were so thrilled!

@@saltypatriot1768 I get you but I'm saying the opposite. The biggest area of difference between pros and amateurs is 120 and out. In a really simplified example, let's say a pro and mid handicap have a putt from 10feet. On average, pro takes 1.5 strokes whereas the mid handicapper takes 1.9 strokes. In similar data, the approach and off the tee are consistently the worst categories across all handicaps in strokes lost to the pros. Broadie's summary is that 2/3 scoring differential is long game. This isn't the case for every single golfer, but in general.
