@@RyanButcher-ce3xu Whatever, Whatever by Peter Crosby. As soon as I heard the opening, I replayed it and used Shazam and immediately downloaded it. Great song!!
As Californian all I can say is welcome to Spyglass! Your aggressive putting speed really made you pay a high price. I also have never seen you hit so many shots out yo the right.
Great to see you struggle once in a while. Real test, great performance. Its amazing that you hace improved your content by doing solo videos. At moment, the best UA-cam golf content. Thanks
Wow! To shoot par you must have a sweet soft long fairway-finder driver. Low irons that land on a table-top somewhere below the hole. You want the Hovland bean-bag irons that hit and stop. Any ball with high backspin might suck back 30yds.
Played 4 courses here for my 70th birthday. Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay and Spyglass. It’s been 5 years and I’m still loving the experience. Thanks to my Son John for the great memories.
I don't take joy from others hard times but it's kind of nice to see that a golfer as good as Grant can experience the same problems as us weekend warriors
its not really the same tho. hes playing a course that is ridiculously hard, where yall are playing average course that aint that tuff. but i understand what you mean. just to see them struggle every once and a while is fun LOL
I agree, but at the same time it’s just amazing to see how Grant cope with his feelings. If that were me, I’ll had a total breakdown. Grant is THE king!!!
@@adamyates598 I played early and the greens were a bit wet so a tad slower than a 13. I don’t remember it being all that fast. Definitely faster than a course like Harding Park, which has slow greens, but I frequently play Green Hills which has fast greens and lots of false fronts.
Yep, there are a few really hard holes. 1-3 are benign. 4 becomes harder and then it's like every second hole or so is hard. Don't remember my score, but I remember I parred or birdied 17, going to 18 with hopes of a decent score. 18 got me totally. Messed up around the green with multiple bunker visits and got something like a quad on the last. I was still so so happy after the round. Amazed by the course.
Back in the 1990´s the 4th green was surrounded by ice plant. Ice plant is basically an unplayable lie. It slowed play so much they have removed it from all courses in the area. I was 5 over thru the first five holes and shot 78 one time. I don´t think there are any 5 holes more difficult than 1-5 at Spyglass. Have not played Pine Valley though.@@MarkSmithhhh
Thanks. Spyglass is awesome. I played Poppy Hills, Pebble and Spyglass over a weekend 20 years ago. While Pebble is awesome I ❤LOVE❤ Spyglass. Even though it's 20 years ago I remember many shots and I have a vivid memory of the stunning views. It was a pleasure to return to Spyglass in this way and I can't wait to visit back.
This is such an interesting and hard course. I played it on a cold, drizzly, windy day with no caddy. I felt like I was playing at the peak of my potential, but walked away around my average score (82). Can't wait for the opportunity to play it again.
Insane how fast these greens were :D and crazy how good you score on a "bad day" One thing you gotta explain tho, why did u play the german anthem at 23:30 when the ball rolled over the green, that was harsh for me as a german to watch xD
If Grant got on testosterone replacement therapy, started lifting, beefed up and gained about 35 lbs of good weight, got his putting dialed in...I legit think he could be a tour pro. Keep on keepin on my man. Just looks like a stiff gust of wind would knock his ass over he's so skinny. He's got the physique of a middle aged woman that jogs a lot
This is a textbook example of how hard courses like this are if you’re not playing from the fairways. In the circumstances +1 on the back 9 was very good. That triple was amazing and the result of just one bad chip through the green. Don’t think that is fair tbh but it made for good content.
First became aware of Grant on Rick Shiels channel, thinking this guy can`t be this cool and genuine. But you`ve converted me young man, carry on the good work. Live the dream.
Grant, the production work on these streams has been stellar! The quality of the drone shots in particular is just stunning. The golf is just the icing on the cake! 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your lady wife (and Tig and his wife, of course)!
Thank you for doing this video. Spent 5 years as an Assistant golf pro at Spyglass and watching your video brought back many memories. Home Sweet Home. Don't feel bad, I was in many of the same situations that you were, I feel your pain. Back then the ice plant was much more lush and in play. The deer too. Be glad you didn't end up in that. LOL
Grant!! Awesome video my man. Jealous of your golf trip haha. I live in the Phoenix area and know what super nice golf courses look like/play like….but the group of courses in the Pebble Beach package are tops in the world. Maybe one day haha
Really enjoyed watching Grant "struggle" and still shoot a 79! Wow. Any time you want to come to Colorado and play the best Military course (USAFA), let me know.
I had the opportunity to play both Spy and Pebble back to back as well. I played them the opposite way though. They’re both amazing, depending on your skill level, pebble was just a lot of fun. Spy was a fun test of where your game is. I was playing the best golf of my life and I shot a 77 at spy and a 70 at pebble. There’s no forgiveness at Spyglass, you have to execute shots perfectly around there from tee to green.
That is for sure about Spyglass. Especially around and on the greens. It looks very unforgiving if you make the slightest mistake. But what a beautiful course
@@YoYoZamolo Rick played the round of his life on a course he has played before. Grant had never played there before, borrowed some random clubs. Everyone with some understanding of golf knows Grant is far the better golfer than Rick. This was a 1/100 occurrence that he won.
Spyglass is an AWESOME course. I par’d the first two and absolutely crumbled on the next three holes. I swear the rough on the left of the green on 3 has human hands that grab your club head when you chip from there. Seriously, lol. The green on 4? 🤦♂️😤 Oh, and the greens were like putting on the kitchen floor, lol. If your putting game is not stellar when playing here, you’re in real trouble. ⛳️😎⛳️
Think grant would have done a little better going with his gut on a lot of the shots. Think he was overthinking nicks input. I can only imagine what I would shoot here lol 170 most likely 😂
I just played Spyglass in July and it was quite a challenge! The greens are INSANE. I golfed a 102 and it honestly could have went worse. I rolled so many putts off the green
That light music you guys played was “Deutschlandlied” or “Deutschland Uber alles” and was adopted as the German national anthem by the Nazi party in 1922 … how the hell did you miss that one?😂
Thing is, it's a very tough call in saying "course X is 4, 5, or 9 shots greater or fewer than course Y", because it can be EVERY shot that is tougher. Ergo, a 72 on X doesn't equate to a 76 on Y! Oh no no nooo! As we see here, almost every shot is tougher. Eg, 136 at Royal Cinque Ports, UK off the yellow, is not the same as 144 off the blacks. No sir. I'd love to see Grant or DOD play RCP off the blacks, in Open qualifying setup...maybe in very windy (in the US, you may call it 'unplayable' conditions). It may pelt down with rain too btw. You may need to drill a driver just to be in range with a 3 wd...the weather may be favourable. Have you watched Jeff Ogily's video round here? I love Grant's videos. And he is a great person.
I laughed so hard when you mentioned it's a Grant Horvat Golf Video after hitting a hard lip out. Your content has been amazing. I personally love genuine reactions like that, keep it up man!!
37:21 Trust it is going to break… 2 seconds later… It doesn’t break 😂 I felt that one for Grant but like he said, it isn’t a Grant Horvac video if he doesn’t have a lip out. Also, it’s not a Grant Horvac video with some drives into the bunker. Monterey/Carmel is absolutely beautiful and I love living less than 2 hours away from there, 17 mile drive all the way down to Pebble Beach is something you have to see for yourself because pictures and videos don’t do it justice.
Best Course I had the pleasure of playing..........better than shinecock, better than oak hill, sawgrass, even pebble. There is an amazing story behind the layout and the whole TESTing of golf......this is the proving ground, always will be. Pebble is the more memorable from a visual....Spyglass turns inland after the first 5 holes and then is just a beast....Pebble has so many iconic holes but not as hard a course....imho
Grant, I don't know how much extra work this would cause, but have you ever thought about doing a 2nd (well, in your case 3rd) channel that is nothing but your golf rounds CONDENSED to shot-by-shot along with dialogue about each shot strategy, etc? I think it could potentially be interesting & do well. Idk, just my 2 cents.
Great stuff. But the Royal 'we' doesn't sit so well from my side of the pond. I get it when it's a hardened team e.g Spieth and co but I find it hard to hear even top amateurs use it. Having said that, I love the swing and the mood of the golf - and enjoy the challenges with Rick.
There is a story that not long after the course opened in 1966, Bing Crosby bet Jack Nicklaus $50 that he won't break par the first time he played Spyglass. Jack was the reigning US Open and Masters champion and had won 4 other majors by then. Bing won the bet.
I would really, really absolutely want you to play this course again just to redeem yourself. You, me, and all of us, KNOW that you can do it better. By the way, it was very fun watching this video.
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried Don't let them in, don't let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well, now they know Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go
Hey Grant, been there, done that. 😂 Spyglass is beautiful, but tough. I like it better than Pebble. If you ever get a chance, play Poppy Hills. It’s my favorite course on the peninsula. I think you’d love it.
Hey Grant! Wonderful video!! I was with you with every shot. SPY can be a little intimidating at first. I say it takes at least 3-4 rounds to figure it out and about 5 years for the greens! I played it for the first time years ago and fell in love with SPY. so that I moved to PG!! Anyway, give Brandon a run. I think it’s even better except of Spyglass.
Can't believe that house being built on the 6th. Looks like a small city going up. Spyglass on a simulator is MUCH easier ... set it to auto-putt and you don't get those heart-breaker rolls like Grant did! Also, you should add a golf ambulance to the thumbnail. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
On the 3rd hole green Grant: "I actually remember every hole so far. This is a very memorable course!" Well I would hope so Mr. Horvat.. it's been 13 minutes..
Grant you'll be dreaming about Spyglass, for sure it will have you back soon. Thanks for the videos, you have great content dude. You really make me feel like I'm one of your buddies on the course with you. Thank you for that. Please keep up the great work.
You're a better golfer than I will ever be, but I do wonder what you could have scored had you played more conservative with whatever you needed to hit to find the fairway and layups with short pitches into those tough greens. But I do understand going for it given all your skill. I LOVE Spyglass as a golf course, but nothing can match the feel of Pebble Beach. You just feel like you're walking hallowed ground at Pebble.
Nice round. Looks like a very tuff course and tricky greens..Just think if you were golfing without a caddie???? Need a caluclater to add up the score..Fun rounds..Thanks...
OMG...deja vu! I ended up in so many of the same spots off the tee, only not from the tips. So crazy how so many decent shots can put you in golf hell.
you errant shots.. esp to the right.. you seem to really DEcelerate on the way down... swingin way too easy. im guilty of it too... Tempo is great.. but RIP it.... I enjoy all your videos.. one of my fave channels.. SPyglass was so pretty... i would NOT be into the round.. just because i'd be taking in all the views.
Feel like this shows the difference between tour courses and average club courses and why even single figure handicappers would struggle to break 100 around most major championship venues. Also the caddy looks like he's related top Jason Day
Lovely looking course but I don't agree with protecting holes by having rediculas difficult greens. The wonderful course designer Dr Alister McKenzie always designed courses that reward ed good play and punished bad play. l
It was a great round of golf anyway. The only criticism I would have (allow me to share) is Grants chipping. It’s always a mix of pitch and chip and from my perspective too risky. For chipping I try to keep it as low as possible.
Easily my new favorite golf video on all of UA-cam the editing and filming was amazing.
Love to hear that man!
The greens were impossible.
And the music selections were impeccable for this video!
Any idea what the song was at the start? Wouldn’t mind downloading that one!
@@RyanButcher-ce3xu Whatever, Whatever by Peter Crosby. As soon as I heard the opening, I replayed it and used Shazam and immediately downloaded it. Great song!!
What an unreal golf course. Hope you enjoy!
As Californian all I can say is welcome to Spyglass! Your aggressive putting speed really made you pay a high price. I also have never seen you hit so many shots out yo the right.
I’ve never played there, but it looks beautiful in the video.
Those greens must hav been playing at a 13-14 the way you blew by putts!!! That’s a tough course
Absolutely stud! A real test of golf
Pretty amazing @@Scaramuzzagolf
Great to see you struggle once in a while. Real test, great performance.

First hole Grant was shrugging off the caddy, by the seventh hole he was leaning on him. Excellent video.
Both great courses
Still a great round Grant, it looked as tough as you mentioned. What did Micah shoot?
The greens were brutal 👍
Played 4 courses here for my 70th birthday. Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay and Spyglass.
It’s been 5 years and I’m still loving the experience.
Thanks to my Son John for the great memories.
What was your handicap (roughly) and what’d you shoot? Kudos to your son. Hell of a gift.
Played them all and Poppy Hills better than several of those IMO.
Amazing
you raised him well lol
Monterey area is beautiful on a level you can’t understand unless you experience it. I love living within 2 hours of Monterey.
that caddie is so good! i love them being more incorporated in the video
I don't take joy from others hard times but it's kind of nice to see that a golfer as good as Grant can experience the same problems as us weekend warriors
the gap between scratch golfers and tour players is much bigger than the gap between a 18 handicap and a scratch golfer.
its not really the same tho. hes playing a course that is ridiculously hard, where yall are playing average course that aint that tuff. but i understand what you mean. just to see them struggle every once and a while is fun LOL
Can’t? You mean can?
79 is ridiculously good on a tough course you kidding? Some tours pros might shoot the same on a bad day
I agree, but at the same time it’s just amazing to see how Grant cope with his feelings. If that were me, I’ll had a total breakdown. Grant is THE king!!!
Your intro's and theatrical quality is really taking a leap it feels like you have picked up a few things from RGC and i love it!
Underrated comment
Yes sir!
@@GrantHorvatGolfs❤😊
This course will humble you really fast. I’m a 7 handicap and shot a 96 here.
do you think the greens are a bit too fast?

I’ve been lucky to play both Spyglass and Pebble and you’ve brought back a lot of good memories for me. Thanks Grant
Me too. Don't know about you, but I'd play Pebble 100 times before I'd play Spyglass again.
@@sirdaveowhy cuz Spyglass is so hard
Glad you enjoyed it
Welcome to California GH. Great videos my friend. If you ever get up to the Tahoe area, in the summer, play Coyote Moon. She’s a beautiful course.
@@moto4kcCalifornia is definitely full of beautiful cities and golf courses.
I had Nick at Pebble today. World class caddie who knew every line, break, and number. Kept me under the hole and vibes high.
Those greens were unbelievably fast. Crazy what the pros can do playing this hard courses
Was thinking the same. We only ever look at the top of the leader board. Now we can appreciate why tour pros end up 7+ over in the bottom half
This is such an interesting and hard course. I played it on a cold, drizzly, windy day with no caddy. I felt like I was playing at the peak of my potential, but walked away around my average score (82). Can't wait for the opportunity to play it again.

One thing you gotta explain tho, why did u play the german anthem at 23:30 when the ball rolled over the green, that was harsh for me as a german to watch xD
You still broke 80 against the most unforgiving course I’ve seen on any UA-cam video. Impressive Grant 👏🏻
He didn't.
@@ComedyBREWHOUSEhow so?
@@adamjay6600 go watch #7 and count the shots
@@ComedyBREWHOUSEI counted 80
Golf can humble even the best golfers in the world. Love this course, but very difficult compared to Pebble.
The cinematography is the best in golf youtube. The style of film/editing is perfect for a serious solo round golf from Grant.
I play Spyglass Hill all the time, at TopGolf 😂
😂😂
I definitely feel a Spyglass Hill revenge video is in order

Played spyglass with Nick as our caddie and he was amazing!
After that many misses right I would aim bit more down the left side.That's what a pro does right?

Hey dude don't let the scorecard get in the way of having a great round of golf on a gorgeous course. I love watching you play. Have Fun!!
Love the caddy mic! The little bits of advice are great to hear
Why was the German national anthem on during the meltdown 😂
Good question! I was a little confused back here in Germany…
Think grant would have done a little better going with his gut on a lot of the shots. Think he was overthinking nicks input. I can only imagine what I would shoot here lol 170 most likely 😂

huge Knicks fan such a nice surprise to see Courtney Lee
Nick was a great caddy, should have listened to him more Grant! Beautiful course, those pin placements were nuts.
Grant is great guy also he has that teaching gene from his father- just want to help anyone with their swings and is really great and enjoying it 😊
I’ve played spyglass 5 times, it’s amazing, my favorite golf course on this planet
i would love to play it, but i would for sure be in the tipple digits on it though.
Spyglass is THE BOMB of Carmel courses!!! So glad you played this Grant!!! Love the vids!!!
I remember watching Courtney Lee play in high school here in Indiana. He went to Pike High School! Great ball player.
Grant is probably not aware about that this is the german national anthem playing from 22:36 onwards
Go Deutschland!!
Dude Courtney Lee is a stud. Went to school with him. Great guy. Legend at WKU
That light music you guys played was “Deutschlandlied” or “Deutschland Uber alles” and was adopted as the German national anthem by the Nazi party in 1922 … how the hell did you miss that one?😂
Great round! Break 80 without your best stuff on that monster... beautiful
who can't love grants personality and his game. The best on you tube, George Bryan is another great golfer and down to earth on you tube
Wow, that’s all I have to say, Wow. That gives me an appreciation for “Fast” greens. Thanks Grant. What an amazing course!

I played it for the first time years ago and fell in love with SPY. so that I moved to PG!!
Anyway, give Brandon a run. I think it’s even better except of Spyglass.
Can't believe that house being built on the 6th. Looks like a small city going up. Spyglass on a simulator is MUCH easier ... set it to auto-putt and you don't get those heart-breaker rolls like Grant did! Also, you should add a golf ambulance to the thumbnail. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
On the 3rd hole green
Grant: "I actually remember every hole so far. This is a very memorable course!"
Well I would hope so Mr. Horvat.. it's been 13 minutes..
Grant you'll be dreaming about Spyglass, for sure it will have you back soon. Thanks for the videos, you have great content dude. You really make me feel like I'm one of your buddies on the course with you. Thank you for that. Please keep up the great work.
You're a better golfer than I will ever be, but I do wonder what you could have scored had you played more conservative with whatever you needed to hit to find the fairway and layups with short pitches into those tough greens. But I do understand going for it given all your skill. I LOVE Spyglass as a golf course, but nothing can match the feel of Pebble Beach. You just feel like you're walking hallowed ground at Pebble.
Nice round. Looks like a very tuff course and tricky greens..Just think if you were golfing without a caddie???? Need a caluclater to add up the score..Fun rounds..Thanks...
OMG...deja vu! I ended up in so many of the same spots off the tee, only not from the tips. So crazy how so many decent shots can put you in golf hell.
you errant shots.. esp to the right.. you seem to really DEcelerate on the way down... swingin way too easy. im guilty of it too... Tempo is great.. but RIP it.... I enjoy all your videos.. one of my fave channels.. SPyglass was so pretty... i would NOT be into the round.. just because i'd be taking in all the views.
Got the Cut's backwards. +7 here at Spyglass and +1 at Pebble XD. Man, you just got bullied here.
Impressive score for green wicked fast. What’s up with playing Peeble and Spyglass with Micah Morris but not filming his rounds. Was it that bad?
Feel like this shows the difference between tour courses and average club courses and why even single figure handicappers would struggle to break 100 around most major championship venues. Also the caddy looks like he's related top Jason Day
Lovely looking course but I don't agree with protecting holes by having rediculas difficult greens. The wonderful course designer Dr Alister McKenzie always designed courses that reward ed good play and punished bad play.

It was a great round of golf anyway. The only criticism I would have (allow me to share) is Grants chipping. It’s always a mix of pitch and chip and from my perspective too risky. For chipping I try to keep it as low as possible.
