“It’s about 350 yards so can’t hit driver it’s too short”-said no one else ever
Kyle’s driving accuracy rn is truly amazing to me
Agreed...hardly any crap ones. With the distance he's hitting it, just getting on the fairway is amazing. Was thinking how much fun it would be for the members to see him nail one on the course they know....they're probably 150 yards behind where he hits it!
Ouiiï😢
76 at Pinehurst No. 2 from the back tees is a very good score. For as far as you hit all of your clubs, you accuracy and distance control is impressive. Keep up the great work
Watching Bernies game along side yours provides an interesting perspective of just how different you play a course. More please.
Beautiful game! Just recently got into golf and having guys like You and Bryson on TH-cam is a blessing. Love how simple your videos are as well, it’s just golf and a good time! Thank you Kyle for the quality content!
Glad your enjoying golf it’s amazing
@@lewis8893 best game on earth!!
golf is life
I like that he takes the time to explain shot selection and share tips, giving you things you can apply to your own game while watching simply for entertainment. Quality
Would love to see you on random golf clubs breaking series, nice to watch this just after seeing their breaking pinehurst #2
exactly watching this after breaking Pinehurst is just awesome
Kyle, thank you for your honesty when discussing your weaknesses and nervousness in your game. It’s nice for us weekend hackers to know that someone with your skill & accolades in Long Drive can have the same issues we face on the course. Keep up the good work! 😎
Right on man. That’s how you get past it is to talk about it.
Very cool seeing how you play the track. I play #2 about as much as I can (just played today). One thing since you asked in the video, where you hit from on the 2nd hole is not the Open tees. You have to go back about 60 yards to get there. It’s near a bunker well behind the blue tees. I played the Open tees this summer and didn’t even realize that tee box was back there and I’ve played the course at least 100 times!
Awesome video though man!
I really appreciated Bernie’s golf tips. And, of course, seeing Pinehurst #2.
a little bit of humility, a little bit of bravado, dedication, analytics/introspection, a lot of power on command, and hands-getting-softer = you WILL achieve whatever goal it is that you have set................impressive development young-sir
Love the crushing sound coming off the club face.....WOW...
Keep it up Kyle. Love having Bernie on with you. His little tips along the way are very helpful!
Love the honesty. Proves, distance alone is not enough to be a top player. People should stop buying new clubs and just get lessons and play more.
Your mindset is killer man. I love the energy and i'm rooting for you with whatever you choose to pursue. My first season was this year, and I'm shooting in the mid 90s, hoping to get lower next year. Keep it up!
As a beginner, I find so much value in these videos. Between Bernie and yourself, there are so many gems per video.
'Is a really good situation that I'm proud of' - I'm proud of you too, Bernie
You are totally outrageous! That 5 iron shot was unbelievable 😯😯
Whenever Kyle gives his yardage for the second shot, I just add 💯, and assume that’s where I’d be hitting from…fml…😂🔥😂
More like 150, Sparky.
Awesome I played it and it is impossible. False fronts on so many greens. The caddy saved me so many strokes. You played it so well.. A 76 from the pro tees is unbelievable.
One year ago you would probably have hit +12 on this course, now you scored +6 with plenty of good chances for a lower score. Keep it up, you are on a good way!
I’m a member at the club, and a +2 handicap who plays No2 with regularity -
Those were not the US open tees you played. US open tees are 7600 yards, blues are a hair over 7000. Hole 2 from US open tees is about 50 yards behind the blues (located sideways off the 1 fairway, around 60 yards short of 1 green), and hole 4 is about 80 behind the blues with the US open tees for 4 being right by the blue tees for 6. Other holes with a large difference in tees are 11, 12, 3, 17, and 14. US open tees are marked with gold plates in the ground; actual above-ground tee markers are never set out for those tees. I often get lots of funny looks from people when I play them, but such as it is - I want the whole experience.
You get funny looks when you make comments like this too 🤡
That was great to watch. I was really impressed with your driver consistency and super touch with the tight lob shots. Tough course! Way too long for mere mortals.
I’m sure I say this with many more thinking the same thing. Appreciate the honesty and personal thoughts about your game as you’re playing. Talking about not being comfortable shooting around others and the cameras…just common problems beginners have and makes us know even long driver champs have same fears/ nerves/ mind set they have to work on. Keep up the positive and inspiring energy brother!
Yes more please, if you can beat Pinehurst No 2, you can play any where in the world !
The driving clinic continues! Awesome work with the big dog. Ironically it was principally shorter holes that got you which says to me that the potential to score really well was there. I loved watching you guys on these Pinehurst courses. I've always wanted to play them and have played nos. 2 and 7 on a top quality sim many times so it was a blast to see no. 2 so up close and recognized many holes. I'm sure it's a very different animal in real life. The wedges are looking good and many shots around the green have improved recently. Nice video and enjoyed it a lot.
That is one tough course. 30 years ago I was a 2 handicap and played #2. I actually had my ball on 17 of 18 greens in regulation. 16 times the ball rolled off the green. So I actually hit 1 green in regulation. I shot 88. I think with what I learned from that round, I would have had a shot at breaking 80 if I would have played again that summer. One extremely challenging course. I personally have more fun playing courses with receptive greens. Nice round.
Played there a couple months ago. We also played the Cradle which was a blast. Besides #2, you must play 4, 8, and 7 which are all great. But if you can get an invite, the CC of NC has two great tracks (Dogwood & Cardinal) and Pine Needles and Mid Pines are a must. It doesn’t get rated very high but #1 at Pinehurst is the original / oldest course there, is a lot of fun and with long drives you could score really low on that one. Lot of good golf in that area.
I misjudged you after seeing you on those other channels, absolutely love this vid... and your humility. Subscribed
I 4-putted that first green. Kyle isn't lying about how tough these greens are! They are super tough! Yet somehow still fair.
I'm playing here, Tobacco Road, Anderson Creek and Southern Pines in December. I can't wait
Can you please play Arcadia Bluffs in Arcadia, Michigan
Oh man, I've been waiting for this! Thanks Kyle and Bernie
US open tees are further back on second hole. Still one hell of a drive
Enjoyed the video Kyle. Your game is fun to watch and I wish you all the best. I plan to make a trip this April to play a few rounds at Pinehurst.
Wow! That was an AWESOME round. Great work Bernie. 👏 you too Kyle
Thank you for this video. I plan on playing this course in a couple months! I'm definitely looking forward to playing pinehurst no. 2
I haven’t watched KB since the Good Good days, but since they have really slowed down their releases I stumbled on to this. The game has come a long way.
Dude the difference in quality between your old videos and now is great. Especially to have better audio when it’s windy. Keep up all the amazing work
I love how smart you play
Thank you 💪🏻
Just amazing!!! Wish I was there chunking up the fairway..😜
Idk if you’ll see this comment or not Kyle but I just tried something that helped my golf game which is just not keeping score and listen to music with my earbuds in for me to stay in the zone and helps me forget my previous miss shots and focus, probably not for everyone. Awesome content though, really enjoy seeing you play with a positive attitude.
Kyle, such a humble guy! I am so rooting for you to be on the PGA one day!
Bernie nonchalantly walks up to the shot in the fairway bunker and throws a dart. Beast Mode.
Those tees must be made of steel! Keep up the good work Good luck this year
Kyle, it looks like you were playing the blues. We played it a few days or so before you did and they don't have US Open tees(what we were told) out. They have stone markers in the ground where they put tees for the US Open. But some of the blues were where the US Open is played from. The 2nd hole has the plaques way back behind where those blue markers are. Great course.
Awesome course. I played before the redesign. The 3rd 350 hole seemed harmless. I would say on those type maybe go 5 iron off the tee. You have power advantage at all lengths. Take the fuller shot in. Kyle you should play some tour stops if possible. I'm sure any course would love to have you play there if you approach the head pro. Cheers!
Can I just say I love when Bernie tunes in!
Excited for this :D +6 is a solid solid score around that course, insane
You drove the ball really well this round! The course is tough and you score showed an honest impact of how hard it is. I did actually play this in the late ‘90’s, hoping to get back out there again with my dad this decade!
The problem when taking on no.2 is often psychological, that you know how hard it is on approach shots owing to the infamous domed greens, which is one reason Jack Nicklaus called it the best second shot course in the country and one which the Coore/Crenshaw restoration help recapture the magic envisioned by Donald Ross.
I caddied here for a few season and this is the best course. Nothing like walking down Pinehurst 2 first thing in the morning... You get to play it now as a redesign which is something I need to get back there to do! Oh, adjust 3" break towards club house on all putts ;]~ 76 good score!
Edit: To be able to shoot 76 with the filming and other distractions is awesome. Just blows me away as good as a putter you are the greenside chips just are not good. Wish you would get with your teacher and start bouncing and running everything to hole around green - as low as you can even if you have to bump before green some. Just make a commitment to that for feels sake and experience. Be a matter of time you would be draining a good percentage of them I believe.
Love the shoutout to Micah !!
Your game has improved for sure! I think next year you’re gonna be an absolute menace
Obviously you're not an elite level golfer all around, but off the tee that may have been one of the best performances I've seen ever. Hitting it longer than tour pros by a mile with that degree of accuracy is world class.
+6 at brutal Pinehurst #2 is a pro tour player score. At the US Open in 1999 I saw quit a few over 80 scores. I played that monster once and we all agreed keeping score would ruin the day. So after the third hole we just soaked in the history of it. Any amateur who breaks 90 played dang good. A truly humbling course. I had 16 bad holes, you had 3 LOL. Donald Ross must have hated golfers.
Definitely loved the content. Plus for the tips!
Its fun seeing these famous courses in a more personal way
wait on the third hole didn’t he make a 6?
1. 1 iron
2. over green
3. sand shot
4-5-6. three putt
I thought the same thing
Does that sandy path count as a bunker? If so he did ground his club in it, which would be one stroke right? so that would be a seven
@@timlyons2824 it’s not a bunker so he could legally ground his club. Should be a 6
Exactly what I thought
Don't think he's playing perfect rules anyways because he would have had 2 one stroke penalties if that wooded area was a penalty area and he improved his swing twice with practice shots hitting the obstacles
Respect brother, you're in several different leagues higher than me for sure, I shot 92 the day I played but I hit 800 golf balls on the range the day prior and was slightly intimidated by Brodie Smith and the Good Good fellas that I met out there... probably not the wisest thing to do before an epic round, lol.
Being from the pinehurst area and playing some of these courses and being insanely happy about a 86 and then watching these guys rip the course just makes me respect y’all so much. Great video id love to see you play some other gems in the pinehurst area.
Loved watching you eat up the yards with those astonishing drives Kyle! Some great irons and chips too, That course is a monster.
love the videos kyle, awesome to see these amazing courses being played with your distance, one of the best parts with bernie is definetly the height difference between you two 😂
Life long Maryland resident, moving to Pinehurst at the end of April 2022. Would love to meet up with you if you get down again. Play PH or Tobacco Road would be fun. Keep crushing it!!
Damn dude you played your ass off! Haven't watched you in about 6 months and you are looking dangerously close to being ready. Bernie must be working wonders. Can't wait to see you on the tour in a few years my man, keep it up.
Would love to see you do a round at Pine Valley, NJ !! 🎨🎭⛳
Loved the video Kyle! Thank you.
Kyle you are a super real guy and I enjoy your channel! Subbed and liked! Thank you!
Not gonna lie :-) A man with Cher hair and pink spikes......impressive!
This format is amazing!
Game looking great ! Def more Pinehurst vids.
Great video! I’ve played No 2 two times and it’s my favorite course I’ve ever played. Shot an 81 last time I played it but no where near from the tees you played. I have a hole in one on hole 4 of Pinehurst No 4 which is a memory I’ll never forget. Amazing how far you hit the ball but the short game has really come around. Keep up the hard work. Good luck.
The gravity of the statement from the worlds long drive champion….”well I just smoked that”. That’s when you know it’s officially long. He is amazing at driving the ball fairly straight and not losing distance.
Enjoyed this a lot! Nice round and glad to see your short game work is paying off!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching that Kyle.....thanks! Played #2 many times and I believe this course is the reason that God invented beer! I've played Dornoch many times and I totally love the Ross interpretation here in NC. My tip.....take a caddie here as they help you around the greens especially. Love to see you play #8!
I am loving your videos bernie is interesting to listen to and watch and your game is so relaxed and casual. I've just got back out after ten year break and Kyle and bryson are making golf exciting to watch just to see the limits and your 1 iron sounds so incredible that's my favoured club as iam crap with a driver. 😂👏👏👏👏👏👍
How can the world long drive champion struggle in front of people? Man , you’re THE longest driver there is. Walk proud , you’re a lion amongst men!
Ohhh this is going to be good!!!!!
Your putting is great and yes would be great to see you tackle it again knowing the do's and don'ts of these tricky holes.
Putting is kinda terrible
Loving the addition of bernie !
"Any questions, boys?" Ah Bernie's so proud of you, like a father almost.
I recently moved to Pinehurst in May, if you are ever in town again and wanna play some other great courses in the area please reach out! I’d be happy to show ya around! Great video, thanks Kyle!
Kyle, I saw you walking off of Pinehurst #1 last week. I hope you enjoyed it. Fun little track for sure, I hope the fog didn't mess you up too bad!
This was my favorite course I’ve ever played. One of my customers lives on hole 3 and he took me out last year. It was a great time
I like how kyle took time to take out the pin yet putted with his wedge
The TH-cam golf world is infinitely more entertaining than tv coverage of the pga tour. Guys like kyle, micah, zac radford, bryson etc, the experience is just way better
The most amazing part of it is how all the channels support each other. It's even better when they all crossover to each others channel!
Don’t forget Bryan Bros
@@jlherdt Agreed. It's exciting to see a group of young, thoughtful and talented golfers who play in such a great spirit while encouraging and learning from each other. I've taken up golf recently (at an advanced age - 67) and I find them inspiring and helpful as well as being fun to watch.
Thought process before and after shots is the thing
Kyle: It's only a 30 footer
Me: casually misses the 3 footer
If you ever go back the US Open tee’s are further back. They don’t put the markers out but there is a gold plate in the ground on every hole.
Great round, Kyle. Good short game shots. Putted well. Great speed on your lag putts. I will not be playing that course! Too much work
Glad to see how much you’ve improved on your mental game this year. Keep grinding ✊🏼
Good seeing Bernie and your Dad out with you. I noticed that your game is getting a lot tighter. Just waiting for the day they call out you and Bryson to play against one another in a PGA tournament.
The us open tees are the golden plates that will be behind those blue tees on every hole. They don’t set the tees up for them. Hole 4 is on top of the hill behind the cart path. Up by the tee box of hole 6.
You have a great golf game and attitude! You having never played that course and where you played it from you should be way happy with those results! Well done man!
Your short game is getting better.
You and tig need a match off. Loving your work Kyle.
Swing is looking so buttery kyle thanks for the great content
Yo! Next time you're in NC, lets tee it up!! Nice vid!
Love these vlogs! So many good tips. I'm dropping strokes just watching.
Kyle this was indeed a banger! Love the vibe from Bernie. Keep hitting bombs my guy
great round kyle! I havent watched many videos in a while since Ive been pretty busy but I can tell that you have improved a lot. realistically you only made very few mistakes on a course that is considered on of the hardest out there. it was a fun video to watch, I wish you the best in ur golfing career!
one hole tripled so to be able to play 17 holes 3 over par is something to be massively proud of.
