00:00Costco Wholesale, a fan-favorite superstore chain known for its $1.50 hot dogs and ridiculously low prices.
00:06But do they have good discount golf clubs?
00:10I knew it was going to go right.
00:12Today, I'll be testing a full set of the Costco Kirkland golf clubs to see if they hold up against the other major golf brands.
00:19This is good getting interesting now, baby.
00:21I just have no understanding how far anything's going. Everything's fine. We're fine.
00:26Will I be able to break par or will they fall apart before the final hole?
00:32They don't look that bad, actually.
00:35I might just keep these after this video. You? You don't even play golf, Chase. Yeah, I gotta start somewhere.
00:41You are
00:43something else. All right. Well, here we go. Oh, you got a 60. Oh, you got it all. Oh, you know you don't.
00:50We got everything but woods.
00:53I'm done. I'll still play your little game, Chase. Oh, shoot. I forgot about the grips. This is actually gonna be tough.
01:00Holy crap.
01:04Okay, I can play that. Do you know who makes these? Kirkland.
01:07I know Kirkland makes it. Who actually makes them, though? Because it's milled face technology. Because this is a really good bounce.
01:12It looks like a Titleist wedge, actually. It's got that thing on it, which is normally like a Titleist thing. Like, bend down.
01:22Yeah, these clubs are gonna miss right today. This is not good.
01:26Let's try one 4-iron, just for fun. That 8-iron went 165.
01:35That was pretty good, actually.
01:37224.
01:41My normal 4-iron is like 150 ball speed.
01:44This thing flies 250 usually, so about like 20 yards short. But these are with not great golf balls, so I don't know.
01:53220.
01:55All right, well, I know that's going 220. I've got a gigantic gap, dude. Hopefully, I don't have like a 200 and...
02:02Wow, this looks like a Titleist driver. Dang.
02:06It's okay. It's ten and a half. You put it on minus one. Thank you, whoever did that. I better swing slow today.
02:13This is definitely
02:16gonna go to the moon. All right, let's see what ball speed.
02:19Oh
02:22no, this is gonna be tough. Only flew 284. Wow, what kind of putter is this?
02:27I feel like the wedge game is gonna be the easiest, actually.
02:35Oh boy. And what's the challenge today, Chase?
02:40So we're breaking par. Okay, goodness gracious. I think I can do it. Yep. Thank you.
02:45This is the LA Golf driver.
02:48Look at this. This has got five degrees of loft. So that flew 289. Let's see what this flies.
02:55Something that's actually built perfectly for me,
02:58compared to something off the rack.
03:04That flew 321.
03:07175 ball speed. About the same ball speed.
03:10Golf ball is a little slow.
03:12That flew 320. All right, I'm gonna hit a big draw here.
03:18All right, let's go. All right, everybody. We're at Castle Hills Country Club here in Luceville, Texas.
03:22We are going off of a par-4 first hole. Dogleg left. Normally, if it's downwind,
03:28I remember being able to get to the green. I mean, you can get to the green. How far is it?
03:32340? Well, not with this club. This thing spins at 4000 for me.
03:35But this is a golf club that draws quite a bit.
03:38So I've got to play it out to the right and be careful of the left side.
03:41Okay, we'll go into the wind. Try to play a little low
03:44beamer out there. Oh my gosh.
03:47All right.
03:52I knew that was gonna happen.
03:56Well, that's left.
03:59I mean, that'll be fine. We'll be able to play from there.
04:02It's gonna be a tough day.
04:04These challenges are out of control. Man, I pulled the heck out of that one. It's tough with this driver, man.
04:10I just don't know how it's gonna kick. I gotta like feel like I'm super open with these clubs.
04:14Oh, I went decently far. That's good. I'll take that. It's a short little hole. One of the easiest holes of the course.
04:20Yeah, I kind of have to make birdie here, man. This is a big one for me. Okay, 45 yards.
04:25What do we got up here?
04:27Oh boy. I have to throw this up in the air pretty high actually. 45 yards. Is it tight lie?
04:32Oh, it's it's not terrible, but
04:3545 yards. It's just a normal nine o'clock shot usually.
04:39Give it just a little extra here.
04:45You
04:49barely missed. All right, that was a good shot. Let's see where that's at. Where do you think that is?
04:52How close do you think it is? 10 feet. I
04:55think it's inside that. 10 feet, huh Chase?
05:04That's a birdie. One under. Thank you. Thank you very little. My goodness.
05:07There's a good chance to shoot under par significantly. Oh boy, Chase. You're in trouble this time.
05:12And yes, by the way guys, just for your reference, I am switching out balls.
05:15I'm too lazy to draw a line in this one. So I just flip it out on the green. I use the line ball.
05:20That's how you start out a round with a Costco Kirkland set of golf clubs.
05:27Non-branded. Okay, 429 yards. It's a bit of a long hole. This thing is gonna draw like crazy.
05:33So I got to throw it out to the right.
05:35Straightaway hole. Should not be hard.
05:43Oh no.
05:46Huh, I got to like open the face. Don't hit the car path.
05:51Hit the tree.
05:54I got to be like this.
05:55It's really important to have the right shaft, you know, and I just don't have it.
05:59Would you say the stiffness of a shaft matters? It does, but it's more, it's more of like the, the
06:05offset. When I'm setting up to this driver,
06:06I just feel like this thing's gonna duck hook. Because it's just too much loft.
06:09So I turn it down and that lowers the loft, but it closes the face. If I had the proper face angle,
06:15this thing would spin at 5,000.
06:17So it's like almost intuitive that my brain tries to lower the loft and turn the face down and I just ultimately hook it every
06:22time. Oh, no. All right. Well, I'm gonna do something kind of cool here. 130. Oh, I got this.
06:28I'm gonna hit a nice little draw.
06:30Underneath and over. Perfect. I got it. 130.
06:33Through the gap, draw it around the corner to the left.
06:36It's gonna be tough because I'm on a massive side hill lie right here.
06:44Oh, shoot.
06:48That's not good. Where'd that go? It went left short.
06:52Oh, I hit it perfect too. I pulled it. This is not looking good.
06:57Okay, let's go find it.
06:59Yeah, that's it. Okay, that's it. Oh, gosh.
07:02Looks like the US Open.
07:03No, worse. This is horrible luck right now. This might ruin me, guys.
07:1069 yards.
07:21All right, whatever. I got it out.
07:25All right, whatever. I got it out.
07:28Golly, what a terrible way to start the second hole.
07:33Okay, I'll chip it in.
07:34At least the weather's nice for once.
07:35Weather is nice.
07:36It was looking windy before we started.
07:38Yeah. Still is windy up there.
07:41All right.
07:48Not my best.
07:50But not my worst. I'll take that.
07:52That's a bogey, guys. All because of a stupid drive.
07:55That's a bummer.
08:03That's a frustrating turn of events real quickly.
08:06I didn't want any bogeys today at this challenge.
08:08That was my whole goal. I knew I could do it.
08:10And the snap hooks just came right in the door.
08:12All right, back to even.
08:14Back to even par. That's not good.
08:16I did not need to make bogey on that hole. That hole's an easy hole.
08:20173.
08:21I feel like this is going to be a pretty simple, straightforward shot.
08:2473, 15. Yeah, just under a full 7.
08:37Go.
08:39That's good distance.
08:41Good distance right club.
08:43Not too bad of a start.
08:44That's the toughest part about the challenge is actually...
08:47Look, I could get used to these over time.
08:49But coming out here cold turkey, having no clue what they're going to do.
08:52Not even knowing the distances with a golf ball that I wasn't hitting on the practice range.
08:57That's like spaghetti soup in my brain.
08:59They roll good though. The greens roll pretty solid.
09:02When life throws you lemons, you got to make lemonade.
09:04Okay, Chase?
09:05That's a rule of life.
09:07A great proverb.
09:09Okay?
09:10I'd rather be a gardener...
09:11Excuse me.
09:12I'd rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.
09:16Even though it looks not great, they roll well and they perform well.
09:20That's all you can ask.
09:21Does that make sense?
09:23Not really.
09:24I didn't understand the warrior in a garden reference.
09:2833 feet.
09:29See, this is a thing too, by the way.
09:30People not fixing their pitch marks.
09:32That really frustrates me.
09:33It disappoints me actually.
09:35I like taking care of the place.
09:36It's going left to right.
09:38I like that line.
09:39I like that line.
09:46Sit.
09:47Sit.
09:48Sit.
09:49Sit.
09:50Please sit.
09:51Please sit.
09:52Please sit.
09:53Please sit.
09:54Please sit.
09:55No speed control whatsoever.
09:56Oh, this would be a big punch to the heart if I missed this one.
09:59Gargantuan punch to the heart.
10:01No three-putting here.
10:10I didn't think putting was going to be this hard.
10:13Oh, crap.
10:16One over.
10:17That sucks.
10:18That really hurts.
10:19Pick up some ground now.
10:20I have to, but I don't know how I'm going to.
10:23I know I have two par fives, but with this type of putting
10:26and the equipment that I'm going up against, I don't know.
10:29Golly, that's frustrating.
10:31All right, driver.
10:32Don't mess me up now.
10:33I need to get this thing out to the right.
10:35Hit a big draw here.
10:36Par five.
10:37I can get there in two, I believe.
10:38It's only 533.
10:39I've got to smoke a couple shots.
10:41I've got to smoke a couple shots.
10:43I've got to smoke a couple shots.
10:45I might have to go driver off the deck on my second shot, too.
10:48This is going to be interesting.
10:55That's going to go 40 yards.
10:57Go.
10:58Get over.
11:00That was a low riser.
11:02I had to hit a massive cut there to offset the draws that I've been hitting.
11:05We'll see where that is.
11:06I mean, I don't know.
11:07Is it in the bunker?
11:08Could you see it go in the bunker?
11:09I think it's just short.
11:10Just short of the bunker.
11:12Well, hopefully it's teed up perfectly in the rough.
11:14Did a nice driver up there.
11:15Yeah, so I lied.
11:16It went in the bunker.
11:17Yeah, thanks.
11:18Appreciate that.
11:19195 yards.
11:20I'm going to have five iron.
11:21Yeah, end of the wind.
11:22This will be perfect.
11:23Okay.
11:24A little bit of a cut here.
11:25Hit it up in the air.
11:26Should be good.
11:35Fly, bird.
11:39That was a good shot.
11:40That's a good layup.
11:41I'll take that, Chase.
11:42Let's put a wide shot close and make a birdie.
11:44Yeah, make a birdie.
11:45It's time to make a birdie in a par five.
11:46How do I go from making an easy birdie on the first and then doing this crap?
11:50I've seen crazier things.
11:52What about you?
11:53Have you seen crazier things?
11:55No, you haven't, actually.
11:57Huh, Chase?
11:58That's why I didn't answer.
11:59120, 125.
12:01All right, I think I'm going to play a little knockdown pitching wedge, 10 o'clock.
12:04This game blocks.
12:05It's only going to play like 115.
12:07I'm going to have to go just under this.
12:11Darn it.
12:12I've got to putt for birdie, though.
12:13I need to knock this one in.
12:14I've just got to hold in the nerves.
12:16I am getting a little nervous, actually.
12:18That was really short.
12:19I did not think it was going to be that short.
12:21Huh.
12:22I mean, look.
12:23You almost made a freaking hole out.
12:25Yeah, with the other hole from another day.
12:2756 footer.
12:3356 footer.
12:3456 footer.
12:3756 footer.
12:3856 footer.
12:3956 footer.
12:4056 footer.
12:45Come on.
12:46Break.
12:47Break.
12:48Break.
12:49Oh, it didn't break.
12:50Oh, wow.
12:51That actually went right.
12:52I have no awareness.
12:53If I make bogey on this hole, you can count it all quits.
13:04All right.
13:05Thank goodness.
13:06That was clutch.
13:07That was a little nerve-wracking.
13:08I'm not going to lie.
13:10Two times in a row.
13:11Yes, I can putt normally.
13:13Just not as good.
13:14All right.
13:15So, par four.
13:16Dogleg right.
13:17What is it?
13:18How far?
13:19404.
13:20404.
13:21I really have to cut here again because it's the only way I can control this driver from
13:22overhooking.
13:23But it just spins like crazy.
13:24It only goes like 260.
13:25Aimed to the right.
13:26Hit a bit of a cut.
13:33That was a cut.
13:34That was as hard of a cut as I could have gone.
13:37That's crazy.
13:38I spun at 4,500 RPMs there.
13:40That'll be fine.
13:41Whatever.
13:42All right.
13:43I mean, that's about as good of a drive as you can hit.
13:45Yeah, I just realized I got to start hitting cuts with it.
13:47Should have been smarter right off the bat.
13:48Number two really hurt.
13:49The three-putt was dumb.
13:50Miss hitting the drive out here.
13:51It's just a series of unfortunate events.
13:53How many snickets, you know?
13:54Pretty good.
13:55Yeah, 125.
13:56I'm going to hit another pitching wedge here.
13:57Into the wind.
13:58Make sure that I hit it just a little right of the flag.
14:01I've got to give myself a chance for birdie here.
14:08Hook.
14:10Goodness gracious.
14:12Right off the front edge, too.
14:15Got to make another long one.
14:16These are brutal, man.
14:18Just kind of make me miss to the right.
14:20You thought I would have learned from last round of club set that I used,
14:22but clearly I'm stubborn.
14:24Now I know what it feels like to play once a month, I feel like.
14:28Or once a week, even.
14:29It's just foreign game to me right now.
14:31Which is good.
14:32It's a good challenge, actually.
14:33I just have no understanding of how far anything's going.
14:3748 feet.
14:38Up the hill.
14:39I'm going to play this probably just a little uphill.
14:4150 footer.
14:47Oh, no.
14:48That's too hard.
14:49Oh, no.
14:50It's perfect.
14:51Oh, no.
14:52It's too hard.
14:53Sit.
14:54All right.
14:55I'll take that.
14:56That's a great putt from 50 feet.
15:03All right.
15:05Easy par, Adam.
15:07Just how you drew it up.
15:08Just how you drew it up.
15:09Well, not really.
15:10I need to make birdie to get back to even par.
15:12I don't know what the heck I'm doing.
15:13Well, you're two over, right?
15:14No, I'm one over.
15:15Oh.
15:16I think we got this.
15:17I know I can do this.
15:19I think I have to hit a soft driver here.
15:21Because it's only like 300 downwind.
15:23Ugh.
15:24Yeah, I'm going to have to like bunt this.
15:26Legitimately bunt this.
15:36I love it.
15:43That's good?
15:44Just rolled into the bunker.
15:46No.
15:47It did.
15:48Go.
15:49Oh, my gosh.
15:50You got to be kidding me, man.
15:52That was as soft as I can swing there.
15:54Thanks for the three wood, Chase.
15:56Everything's fine.
15:57We're fine.
15:58158 downwind.
15:59I'm going to play 148.
16:02Just under a full pitching wedge here.
16:04Ugh.
16:05I've been using this pitching wedge a lot, should know it by now but, you know, you never know.
16:14Be good.
16:20Is that alright?
16:22Oh, okay.
16:24That's cool.
16:25That's been high?
16:26I think so.
16:27It's a little short probably, but it's still pretty good.
16:29I'll take that.
16:30It's actually better than most of my wedge shots I usually hit.
16:33Oh boy, oh boy.
16:34Alright, it looks pretty good.
16:35Chase, it's good, but it's not great.
16:37It needs to be within like five feet to probably have a chance, if I'm being real with myself.
16:43Well, we got my best chance for birdie of the day besides the first hole.
16:47Wow.
16:48This could roll really far away from me if I'm not careful.
16:51Alright, I see the line.
16:52Wind might affect it though.
16:55I'm going to play a little less break because of the wind.
17:02Oh no, it broke left.
17:04It broke left.
17:07Did you see that, Chase?
17:08I think it broke left.
17:15Oh, that's really disappointing that wind just pushed it to the left a little bit.
17:19That was a good roll too.
17:20On to the next.
17:21Still got the par five.
17:22Still got a par five and there's a couple of birdieable holes, so not out of this by any means.
17:27208, 207, downwind, 21, 187.
17:31Yeah, 8-iron's going to play like my 9-iron, which my 9-iron goes 185.
17:35Don't you forget about me.
17:38You know, Chase, I can't play these sorts of challenges for too long.
17:41The season's coming up.
17:42Are you really trying to wreck my career?
17:44Alright, we got 207.
17:45I'm just going to hit a nice smooth 8-iron.
17:47Hopefully this doesn't jump on me, but I feel like this is going to be a great shot here.
17:57Fly, ball, fly, fly.
18:02Alright, it's a little short.
18:04When I hit it, I saw the ball fly.
18:05I'm like, that's not even close to getting there.
18:09That's why I yelled.
18:10The first break 50 episode's actually dropping soon.
18:13Yeah, you guys are never going to guess who the first break 50 guest is for season two.
18:19I don't even know.
18:21It's going to be pretty wild.
18:22It's going to be nuts, dude.
18:23Jimmy.
18:24It's going to be Jimmy.
18:25Yeah, would you guys like to see Jimmy as a break 50 guest?
18:28That'd be pretty cool.
18:31$100,000 for a hole-in-one over my house.
18:34That would be nuts, actually.
18:35Well, it wasn't as close as I thought it was going to be.
18:38Still not too bad of a shot.
18:3945 footer.
18:41I'm getting old.
18:42Knees are cracking, Chase.
18:43The putter's not bad.
18:45I've got to tell you that.
18:46But it's not great.
18:56Set.
18:57No.
19:01Oh, this is coming down to it, Chase.
19:03What an unfortunate series of events so far.
19:05I know, you like it.
19:08I don't like this.
19:09It just happens this way for some reason.
19:11I don't know why.
19:20That's clutch.
19:21Well, look, that was a good par.
19:22I'll take that.
19:23My putting's kind of coming around a bit with this thing.
19:25Starting to get comfortable with it.
19:27Really disappointed still that I started out the way I did.
19:30And I'm one over par, guys.
19:32I've got a par 5 and a par 4 coming up.
19:34I need to bring them both.
19:35I have to win.
19:36I have to make this challenge happen.
19:38It's been 9 months.
19:39I'm tired of losing.
19:40What if I made eagle here?
19:41That'd be so clutch.
19:42I made eagle in the other video.
19:44You just got to do whatever you did to Paul.
19:46I was savage.
19:47I felt so bad for Paul.
19:49He had $20,000 to beat me, and I wanted to give it to him.
19:52And I made eagle.
19:53He was like, nah, dog, you ain't getting that.
19:55I felt so bad.
19:57It's 540.
19:59This is totally doable.
20:04Oh, that's so perfect.
20:06Yes!
20:07That was loud.
20:10It got me excited.
20:13You don't realize how difficult this thing is to hit for me.
20:16Look at my strike marks.
20:17I'm trying to hit like low heel so I can counteract the draw.
20:21192-yard shot.
20:22Going to play a 7-iron here.
20:23This plays like my 8-iron, which is like a 200-yard shot.
20:25It's a little back into the breeze from this angle.
20:28Water left.
20:29Got to hit a really good shot right at the flag.
20:36No, get right.
20:37Get right.
20:38Hit it, wind.
20:39Yes.
20:40Hit it, wind.
20:41Go right.
20:43That was really good.
20:45I don't know where it is.
20:46Good shot.
20:48That's a good shot.
20:50Eagle.
20:51Come on.
20:52This is getting interesting now, baby.
20:54I've got to make this putt.
20:56What a great shot.
20:59What a great shot.
21:00I've got to make this.
21:01A little 20-footer to get back to one under par.
21:04I could have completed this challenge so easy if I just would have cut the driver on two.
21:08And not three-putted.
21:09No whining.
21:10There's no whining in baseball.
21:12Gosh, nobody fixes their pitch marks, guys.
21:14When are you going to leave that in a video of me fixing pitch marks?
21:17Probably never.
21:18Why?
21:1925 feet.
21:20It's almost like uphill again.
21:21I don't know.
21:22No, it's going downhill.
21:23It's going downhill.
21:24I can feel that.
21:25I feel that.
21:26Down through a bowl or side reverse saddle.
21:37Break right.
21:38Break.
21:43That was such a good roll, too.
21:45How was that straight?
21:47The grain is going that way.
21:53That just doesn't break, man.
21:55That is wild.
21:57All right.
21:58That's a birdie.
21:59That's back to even par, though.
22:00I always seem to make these videos interesting.
22:02I don't know why.
22:03I can't just be an easy challenge.
22:04I just win.
22:05I just beat it.
22:06Number nine.
22:07It's a par four.
22:08Somewhat easy of a hole.
22:10I mean, it's a par four, so it is what it is.
22:12Here we are, Chase.
22:13This is the final hole.
22:14Got to hit a big cut here.
22:16Give myself an opportunity to make birdie.
22:19Cannot draw the ball here.
22:21Nice bullet cut.
22:22Get in the fairway.
22:23Hit a nice iron shot on the green.
22:25I can do this.
22:31Stop.
22:36Okay.
22:38I think that'll be fine on the left center.
22:39Maybe rough.
22:40Yeah, just under the rough.
22:41Just under the rough.
22:42That's fine.
22:43I'll have an opportunity to get up and down from there.
22:46At least I didn't duck hook it.
22:47That is a full-blown slice for me.
22:51Oh, I got to hit a couple drives after this just to feel better about my life.
22:54Definitely going to the driving range after to make sure I'm not crazy.
22:59Imagine it had rolled into here and we would have no idea where it went.
23:02I know, right?
23:03Oh, shoot.
23:04Oh, my gosh.
23:05That would have been nuts.
23:0790 yards.
23:0990 yards and a dream to beat the first challenge in nine months.
23:14Since last year's Masters, basically.
23:18Thanks, Chase.
23:20You're welcome.
23:25No.
23:27These freaking clubs.
23:30No.
23:33I knew it was going to go right.
23:36Why?
23:39Can I get my old clubs back now?
23:41No stress.
23:43No stress.
23:44Everything's good.
23:45If I just hit it on line.
23:46On line is all I needed to get it up there.
23:49Have it spin appropriately back.
23:50Have a good putt for birdie.
23:52Instead, you pushed it like an idiot.
23:55I got a 50-footer again.
23:57Embarrassing.
23:58My 6-footer.
24:00Come on.
24:10Just hit it.
24:14Dude, if I just hit that harder, it goes right on the cup.
24:20No.
24:28Watch it.
24:30That's frustrating.
24:31Well, you were 3-for-3 on those testers.
24:34Yeah, I know.
24:35But why couldn't I have made one?
24:37Dang it.
24:39I'm so frustrated.
24:41A tie counts.
