Public Golf Course TOO EASY for a TOUR Pro?

Have you ever wondered what a PGA TOUR pro would shoot at a public golf course? We certainly have...

So, in this video, we're taking TOUR pro James Nicholas to a normal golf course just like the ones all of us "regular" golfers play all the time, to try and find out what a tour pro will score against a regular golf course.

PART 2 with James is now Live on the channel where he TRIES AGAIN!

Things I appreciated about this video: James’s approach to the game (checking the wind, strategy on every shot/putt, “stick to the process don’t jump to conclusions” @12:10)
Things I REALLY appreciated about this video: Golfcity showing the content we all want to see, James not once complaining about the conditions or pace of play and being an overall gentleman during the entire round
Thing I REALLY did not appreciate: someone found his 8 iron and didn’t turn it in. Cmon fellow golfers, we’re better than that!

James is the best, played a pro-am with him at the Wichita Open. He’s one of the nicest guys around.

what a nice dude. Extremely humble and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. Watched this entire vid through it was fantastic

[vitor]

This was one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I have watched in a long time.

James - thank you for taking the time to do this! I love your attitude on the misses, focus on the prep/action vs. result. Now I’m follow and root for you the rest of your career! Cheers!

Great Vid! No matter what Tee's you play from, it's the mindset and the approach for each green. A lot of Hackers like to play from the Tips and then complain about everything. Yet here James proves it's still challenging from even from the different Tee boxes. I like how he explains what he normally would do and how if he crushes it, it could go in the woods. Even if he is in the woods....he jst plays the shot.

One thing I "duck Walk" to the hole. It looked goofy, but wow, he was confirming the break on the green.

It was a joy to watch how (with his skill level) how he can attack each hole. To control the fade/draw, the power, club selection, jst all aspects.
It makes it fun for hackers like us and how we can work on different aspects of our own game.
FUN!

Did my research on him and it turns out his dad performed surgery on both my right and left knees. And I gotta be honest but I thought I was a good athlete but this guy takes the cake. Definitely going to be rooting for him if I ever see him on TV playing in a tournament. And I've played Spook Rock many times and this is just not fair. Only if we could all hit the ball 340 off the tee. Great job James and good luck on tour!!

What always strikes me the most is the Sound of a Good Swing!!! The “click” at contact is so Crisp, Beautiful 😊

This is exactly the content I want to see. I really want to see folks at courses i play.

Great to see a video with a tour pro playing a “normal” common man course!! the muni’s and standard public courses generally have more playing surface challenges than the perfect tournament condition courses, it adds an element of uncertainty, for sure.

7:06 the dew line from a previous ball lines up perfectly with your line!! satisfying

Great video. First time watcher. One subtle video editing thing I reeaallyy loved was on hole 7 at around 13:00 of this video you guys continued the audio of golf cart conversation while overlaying James finishing the hole. Thought that was a clever way to capture the importance of the conversation but also continuing on with the content.

Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to more of your content in my feed.

He sounds like Michael Cera to me. Great casual 5 under though... I mean... He left at least 5 or so out there and didn't really look like he was even remotely worried at any point. This just goes to show that on a super average or maybe even below average day, the level that you have to be on to compete against world-class opposition. I will probably never have a 5 under round. So cool to watch; also great to hear him explain his thought process and evaluation of trouble situations on every shot. Great content.

[zendrive]

total confidence, but humble confidence. "i'm gonna do this, but if not, we'll deal with it". proceeds to do what he's trying to do, most of the time.

[lkae]

Most pros I've seen are very humble. I think the game does that. What a game. What a pro.

Interesting round to see at my second home course where we all shoot in the 80’s. He didn’t drive it particularly well, but his length off the white tees meant he’s pitching to every green. It’s a bit like us playing off the reds. Would have liked to see him play from the tips, which are still 500 yards shorter than a Tour course.

If he had striped his drives he might have shot 62 or 63, since he parred all four par 5’s

Great Video, top shelf walking us through the process of each shot and hole

[richardtheiv]

Great video guys.
Nice to see a lovely humble pro playing great around a public course and giving such great insight into his thought pattern with every shot.
I've also left a club out on a course, so it happens to us all!
Sometimes in a way it may be more difficult around the greens for him than what he's used to, as the quality on a public course isn't going to match what he's used to on a course set up immaculately for a pro tournament
Five under shot with ease. I bet we'd all love to do that.


Well done and best wishes for the future.

Great video fellas! Awesome to hear the thought process from a Pro and what they are thinking for each shot. Things amatures never think about - but should!
