I haven't commented on any of these wolf creek vids but ive just got to comment now,what a gorgeous place to play golf,looks absolutely stunning.

[@conbaz106]

I enjoy when Mark makes a point and says "...does that make sense?"...its almost always followed by silence from Dan haha

[@MarkCrossfield]

Haha 😂

[@balisongjihad4108]

I feel like this is a study of personalities. I don’t think Tiger ever gets that mindset when he’s down in a match. It’s gotta be tough not to.

[@GoalCreaseGuardian]

Rewatching this course vlog and I love the way Mark challenges Dan's very understanding of the game of golf with his decision to "give up" at 4 down. The contrast in mindset is a fantastic look at how many different ways golfers (and other athletes) can approach the peaks and valleys of the game!

[@bradmoulden1657]

Everybody plays better when they give up as the pressure comes off. They just don't usually make as much noise about it!

[@MarkCrossfield]

It was only announced because of the camera??????

[@MarkCrossfield]

Ian rushes Left foot amazing to think there is a camera there isn’t it. Haha

[@briandevitt6903]

I keep expecting to see Wile E Coyote and The Roadrunner come racing by along the sides of those ravines Bruh. The scenery is like a cartoon in places.

[@jhorvat06]

Watching you two jump to get a look at something on this course has been hilarious, i'm sure it helped a lot ;-D

[@andrewjgordon1372]

Oh Mark I do feel for you, when it's not your day it's not...when you finished with this course did you find you had the Clouseau twitch, mine was Letham Grange old course i got well and truly beat up and when I ever talk about that course I still twitch 😂😂😂😂😂 another great series of vlogs Mark and Dan.

[@jondoe6618]

The way I look at it, the more shots you hit the more you get your money's worth. :)

[@HansAaraas]

I always go straight over the mountain on the PlayStation : )

[@tomduckworth8335]

Pebble Beach then Wolf Creek wow!!!!!

[@richardjames5700]

Excellent match guys and well played Mark some good shot making and putting - course looks stunning!

[@SA-ce7yz]

The dynamics of these extremely opposite personalities is really interesting. I wonder what the flight over and all the time together off-course was like

[@benswanton2958]

That golf course is insane! Like Disney World for golfers 👍🏻

[@SA-ce7yz]

I love how when you ask Dan if something makes sense he never flat-out says "no" but you can tell by the silence he is confused. Or even better is when he says "I think so" lol

[@matthewhood4810]

Can’t get over how nice this looks

[@kmac8101]

Undulation looks brutal! If you're not within 5 feet your in for an adventure on every hole. You have to have a sense of humor here, glad you both do!

[@MarkCrossfield]

It was very tough not knowing where not to hit it. But was loads of fun. So stunning and Vegas around the corner. Lovely

[@atomant830]

Great video Wood Creek is amazing. Until this series videos, I have only seen it on theTiger Woods PGA video game. EA did a fantastic job copying it because I recognize a lot of the holes.

[@tylerlove2052]

Thinking about making a drinking game for every time Mark says “Does that make sense?” 😃

[@MarkCrossfield]

Haha

[@tylerlove2052]

Happy to make you laugh! That course would have me asking a lot of questions too!

[@SA-ce7yz]

I love Dan trying to figure out things to say that will not make Mark blow his top even further.

[@tylerlove2052]

Minnesota Nice So true! I like the pause then he’ll say “Umm...” then Mark will continue. They’re so fun to watch!

[@dennismast3591]

It's very interesting, watching and listening to someone so competitive as Mark. Even when he is down, he finds a way to convince himself he's winning: "So, I'm 2-down. I just got a birdie. But when I quit caring, I was 3-down. Now I'm only 2-down, so I must be winning." I commend Dan for his patience and understanding and willingness to cater to someone who always needs to be the alpha male (certainly mean no disrespect to Mark).

[@MarkCrossfield]

That or maybe I am trying to show Dan that my mental approach has helped me when he didn’t even know it was a strategy 👍👍👍 4 down back to two. Not bad for someone who gave up 😉😉😉

[@MarkCrossfield]

One other point that’s really interesting is that Dan is probably 209% more competitive than me. I am there for the video he is there for the PGA tour 😉😉👍👍

[@dennismast3591]

@@MarkCrossfield - It IS interesting that Dan is so competitive. He has a way of hiding it (lol). Although, for anyone to get their game to a level anywhere close to you guys requires a large amount of competitiveness, I'm sure. I really enjoyed this series of vids. Lovely course and you two are a great tandem. The variation in your approaches to the game make it fun to watch and educational, as well. Thanks for your work.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Dennis Mast well he doesn’t he is just new to the camera. We see it every round. Remember there is maybe more time off camera in a round than on. 👍👍 I just like to share as much with it.

[@NomadOT16]

I checked the rulebook, on the muppet tour you get a free drop from a divot.

[@coegj]

I said after watching part one at Wolf Creek " I'd rather be eaten by a pack of wolfs than play Wolf Creek ", I stand by my statement, this course is looking way to difficult this muni course player. But I like watching others suffer slogging through it.

[@jaredwatts8297]

Agreed! I keep thinking "I'd love to play this course" but I know as soon as I would be on the first tee I'd regret all my life decisions

[@jonnyludix1]

The drop hole is west bay, and the golf course is Bridport golf club. Awesome course and an awesome hole. Sea is on the left....

[@killacamfoo]

Fantastic views!

[@peteraloisio3533]

Apart from so,e grounds person in part one and at 9:37 in this video, it looks like you guys are the only people game enough to play the course. So barren of many things including some quality golf (final birdie excluded). How would coach go around there?

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

What an incredible course. Safe to say, I reckon I could break some sort of record there and shoot a 200.

[@ZeppelinRules92]

The scenery is absolutely lovely, but I’m not sure I could justify playing it knowing that’s what the greens are like 🙈😂

[@MarkCrossfield]

You would love it. It’s so cool.

[@311PJ]

Looks like mark has been walking all over Dans lines on the putting green

[@ThePhuture23]

Late to the vid but I felt the weight come off your shoulders after the 13 tee ball, I def took a sigh of relief xD

[@Rainier69]

Paiute is in the NW corner of VEGAS BABY. about 30-40 min from the strip. Wolf Creek is about 1 hour 15 min NE of the strip.

[@seanchalcraft2693]

Well played Mark!!🤦‍♂️... Golf bites us all 😂

[@Oxter1492]

Imagine you had to walk this course, it will take forever and a hydration backpack is a must

[@mantell96]

the drop hole is actually at bridport golf club (next to west bay), cracking course

[@phillipradford2873]

It makes sense to me Mark. I think when you give up or play like you couldn’t care less, you relax and end up playing better golf. Happened to me loads of times. I always play better than my 18 hcp when playing better single figure hcp golfers because my expectations are a lot less.

[@ecarteringram]

Seems the wind wasn't much of an issue. When we played, it was close to unplayable. Sand, and flying peebles really hurt! So many elevated tees made it hard to control the ball. False fronts, { and backs} . Thanks for filming. Have to play it many times{ Preferably low winds }

[@adriansumner9431]

Mark a question for you. Scenery and the course are stunning BUT for the h'cap golfer are the greens just too much of a challenge? I think I would get frustrated with the ball running off the tiers 12 feet past the hole especially after playing a decent drive and shot to the green. Reminds me of the La Cala Asia course - Hole 2. Go check your Andalucia series.

[@MarkCrossfield]

I think you would love the challenge.

[@adriansumner9431]

@@MarkCrossfield I'll wait for the invite!!

[@MarkCrossfield]

Adrian Sumner haha you are on 👍👍

[@kls909]

You are indeed the opposite direction of Paiute out there in Mesquite. Paiute is just west of Vegas while Mesquite is East.

[@lukejarrett1973]

This is such a spectacular course, it looks like some silicon valley boffin has exported some virtual reality programme into real life. I wonder how many rounds you need to have before golf gives you a day on the greens?

[@mcfly2727]

.. and then the fightback! 👍#🐺

[@MarkCrossfield]

Haha no never I have given up. 😂😂😂😂

[@williag1970]

The 6th at Bridport I believe the hole is. Only 110 or so yards but an amazing hole

[@martinhadleigh5890]

What really difficult Greens to read and play...but you’re both managing them very well.👍🏌🏻‍♂️🏌🏻‍♂️⛰⛰⛳️

[@MarkCrossfield]

We struggled to be fair.

[@matthewcroad7218]

Wow what a series this Is. Mr Parfiels is starting the chat in Dannyboys ear and reeling him in. Come on Bruh lets get it all square down the last lol

[@MarkCrossfield]

I can’t be coming back I have given up 😉😉😂😂😂😂

[@matthewcroad7218]

Lol you never give up Bruh lol

[@jg__golf]

Tell Dan it is west bay. (Or bridport) that has the par 3 with about 100ft drop

[@bryanparnes2954]

Gettin stuck in on a saturdayyyyyy bruv

[@Artisticnerd32]

I think that changed outlook works for you Mark.. still focusing on every shot and taking it shot by shot but not focusing on score. correct me if i'm wrong?

[@MarkCrossfield]

Just playing and what will be will be. Stop trying to control and understand it just let it happen. I have done this loads in vlogs this is just the 1st time, well not the 1st time I have said this has been my approach because I have said it lots on camera but 1st real time in a vlog.

[@arthanson9259]

I think Dan is to nice of a guy to say what he really thinks when Mark goes on and on do you think 🤔

[@atomant830]

Great Vlog Mr Crossfield, To your point of taking golf to seriously courses like Wolf Creek will eat you up. You just have to have a mindset that golf sometimes punishes good shots and rewards bad shots. I know you know that, which is why I'm baffled when you all look down on scabby (as you call them) birdies. Its golf, embrace the good breaks and maybe the bad breaks will be easier to swallow knowing youve got some good breaks in the past.

[@MarkCrossfield]

We like to joke more about scabby bodies and defo skank pars. But you are right not knowing it there makes for some funny swings when you get on the green.

[@richardwalker8894]

Paiute is about 40 minutes northwest of the Strip Mark. Wolf Creek is northeast and about 2.5 times the drive. Similar landscapes around them both though.

[@johnmontgomery7713]

Yup, nowhere near Paiute. 😂😂😂 Going to be at Paiute in three weeks. Vegas, baby!!!

[@MarkCrossfield]

Lucky bugger

[@loganruybalid4872]

Yea pretty much the exact opposite side of Vegas haha

[@wilsorjg]

do those little flags denote where fire ant nests are? If so, Dan was standing precariously close to one!

[@MarkCrossfield]

Are those ants bad

[@wilsorjg]

@@MarkCrossfield I think they might be, stand one one next time and see. For research purposes.

[@arthuracorn]

Danny the champion of the south is working on the rest of the World

[@kingcscott]

I don’t like watching Mark play bad golf. I want to see you parfield it out. It is how I would like to play and it seems doable-ish

[@strobelightproductions5175]

Great vid mark. That course looks amazing. Have you ever played golf in Georgia?

[@dclemans13]

Was there anyone else on the course? Looks like you two could have been the only people for miles

[@MarkCrossfield]

We where our 1st.

[@MarkCrossfield]

We where our 1st.

[@SolomonLi]

To have traveled as you boys did and to play over par I would call that "value golf" bruh!!! Gotta get your money's worth of strokes for every mile you've gone out. LOL

[@alestev24]

I can't believe how many people, who comment on this series want to play this abomination. This course embodies everything that is perverted about modern (especially American) golf course design. At about 13:30 Mark sums it up perfectly. Just because a course is in a stunning landscape and in a place where the sun always shines, doen't mean it's good.

[@dansmith2338]

Come and play bridport and West Dorset golf club

[@kpkelsey]

Between the crazy greens and the forced carries, I’m not sure why anyone would play here. It’s beautiful but doesn’t look fun.

[@cobra1995xx]

I was thinking same thing.. scenery is beautiful but the course looks gimmicky as hell. Doesn't look fun

[@buzzlightyear4270]

It is fun!! I swear! You don’t have to shoot your handicap to have fun. Amazing course!

[@MLGshzlss]

I've been wondering what Mark's been on for about 6 months now

[@superduperawesome6858]

No way I'd be giving any putts on those greens if both players are still in play ⛳😵🏂 (hole 14!)

Amen bruh

[@linka347]

..........." no idea where we are going" -- would a course planner have helped, just a thought. Great vids tho'

[@TheBobjenks]

Zup Zup lovely

[@p.w.7051]

Correct me if I am wrong, but as tricky as playing that course for the first time is, with your and Dan's skill set, if that was your home course and you played it a couple of times a week, I would imagine it would be a very short time until you were shooting some very low scores. What a shitty run-on sentence that was.

[@MarkCrossfield]

If you knew the course yes you could defo score around it.

[@paulkelly1582]

You know when you are playing with your mates, had a bad start and try and make it out you weren't bothered anyway, Then they fall apart and you have a sniff? hmmmmm

[@dixon1283]

I think Mark needs some sleep

[@MarkCrossfield]

It’s ok we are near Vegas. Plenty of help there

[@MegaWilmington]

Give him a nice misread bruh lol

[@stephenflood4526]

I see no point in playing courses like this ,it's pot luck trying to read the greens, 😕

[@MarkCrossfield]

I think we are just bad at it and missing in the wrong places

[@pharmdiesel]

Notice the chemtrails?! SMH!

[@OldManJetski]

Sorry, but this round of golf was not a good look for Mark...yeesh

[@Rodisflawless]

The intro is really unnecessary on all parts except the 1st.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Shhh Coach can hear you.

[@deckertone]

None of this looked fun. As a 15 handicap, I wold never play this course. 4.5 hours of misery.

[@MarkCrossfield]

The course is great fun. My golf was crap
