The 299 Yard Challenge

Tournament host Danny Willett took on Robert MacIntyre in the first ever 299 Yard Challenge ahead of the Betfred British Masters at The Belfry.
Filmed on the 17th hole of the Brabazon Course, players each take a shot from 7 different distances, starting with a putt measuring 2.99 yards and working back in 50 yard increments until finishing up with a driver off the deck from 299 yards.
A point is awarded for holing the putt at the beginning, and then every ball that finishes on the green after that.

That proves that amateurs have no right to be disappointed when missing the green from similar distances. Stats prove that even pros don't hit greens that many times over from > 150 yards... Cool vids..keep'em coming..

[@claypot10]

I only get mad when I run out of beer haha who cares where the ball goes

[@TYodaT]

Peter Finch accomplished this feat with Henrik Stenson, only a few months ago...

“Accomplished” is generous…it’s Finchy

It’s quoting happy Gilmore

@@okimike5963 Anti-Sandler? Why on earth would you do that to yourself? Please, watch Happy Gilmore immediately. Also, please consider Big Daddy, The Waterboy, and Mr. Deeds.

Very enjoyable to watch gents 👍🏻

take a drink every time Danny says "son"

Or Bob

[@saufai74]

Just another idea, I would really like to see a similar challenge but measure to the pin. Middle attackable pin. Start at 30 yards and each station is 15 yards back from there. 10 stations. Shortest total distance wins. Bonus inside 5ft = minus 10 yards of score. Hits pin but stays out minus 20 yards. Hole out minus 40 yards. That would be really great to watch.

[@RobChinn]

Drinking game: have a shot every time Danny says 'Son'.. :) love the content as always guys thank you!

Robbie has the coolest voice

[@stephenbayliss1408]

Well done boys, and good luck in the rest of the tournament

[@urmama54]

danny willet, my favourite roadman turned pro golfer

[@dpdpdp]

They should hit another from 299 and hit one more at each station all the way back in. That would make the 2.99 yard putt more dramatic!

[@mjproebstle]

top format. cheers!

[@Carsonsimon]

Should of only given 1/2 a point for on the green and the whole point to whoever is closest to the pin... Would of made it more interesting competition.

[@sebastianrevell1046]

Nice concept. Could improve it by playing alternate shots and extra point for whoever is closest to the pin to encourage more competition

[@Shaun-y4w]

We’re going to see big things from bob in the future

[@arronmansfield1117]

Lefty’s always win

[@lucascarman2578]

Interesting idea but I think 299 yards off the deck is asking too much of most guys. It would be rare to have anyone on that could actually reach, so no real point in doing it. Maybe if you let them tee up the last one.

[@garethwilliams2897]

Need Rob Rocks hair on one of these it's his last season 😫👍

[@GamerGuyProductions]

The subtitles being required kills me

[@tecgineer]

Genuinely confused here. Can someone explain the significance of having the distances just under a round number? 299 yards, 2.99 yards, etc.

[@82MCG]

lol ik

[@ropefreeze1660]

Mark a line in the fairway 300 yards from the tee and you have to try to hit it as far as you can, without going over.

[@gmuzz]

Pete Finch called he wants his feature back

[@Daniel-yz3zf]

This challenge seems a bit of a stretch in terms of the format? What's the reason for the 299? 🤔

[@mattschultz816]

Probably a reference to JT's 299 yard shot off the deck in the US open at Erin Hills

[@YaasAndrewSherriffs]

Thought Bob shanked that 5 wood with the camera angle

[@larotiza6653]

This is feature for the ryder cup team???😭😭😭😭

[@radorigami]

but 9 feet = 3 yards?

[@gp2860]

299 should be worth 2 points though, no?

[@amunt3r]

They should have gone up 50, 80, 110, 140, 170, 200, 250, 299 Much more interesting. Only one green from 200+

[@smjohnst]

I know he's speaking English, but without subtitles I would have no idea what MacIntyre is saying.

[@erikulset8603]

You didn’t find some less entertaining players to watch?

[@Hixyboyblue]

His short game is mustard and he has streaky weeks with the putter. Willett is actually a really good lad for the winners circle. He has good weeks and bad weeks but his good weeks are properly good. He played really well that year at Augusta.

[@LB1973]

well Jordan exploded and he beat everyone else

Jesus loves you all and died for our sins

[@pisanu6699]

It's pretty good idea but for me but I have to ask for a tee on the 299 yards shot.

[@deandangerfield9134]

Why do you guys keep mentioning & highlighting guys ages for ? It’s really annoying

[@jordanmcnamee865]

Point should go to whoever is closest to the pin.. bit boring professionals pitching from 50-100 yards

[@johnangle8141]

If these videos are being used to promote the tour they should reevaluate. This sucked in all respects.
