>> NARRATOR: WAYDE AND CHARLIE ARE A PAIR OF ORDINARY GOLFER
DUDES JUST LIKE YOU.
EACH EPISODE THESE TWO ADVENTURERS TAKE TO THE ROAD,
SEARCHING FOR THE MOST UNIQUE GOLF ADVENTURES ON THE PLANET.
THEY'RE SEEING THE SIGHTS, DRINKING THE BEER, CHATTING UP
THE HOTTIES, PLAYING THE LOCAL LEGEND IN THE EPIC THREE HOLE
MYSTERY CHALLENGE.
NO PRIVATE COURSES, NO ATTITUDE, JUST TWO GUYS WITH A
LOT OF BALLS.
FINALLY, A GOLF SHOW FOR THE REST OF US, THE WORKING MAN,
THE DRINKING MAN, THE GOLFING MAN.
THIS IS HIGHWAYS TO FAIRWAYS.
>> WAYDE: THIS EPISODE WE'RE ACTUALLY HEADING TO ORANGE
COUNTY VIRGINIA.
SO ORANGE COUNTY VIRGINIA IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND A VERY SMALL
AREA.
BUT STEEPED IN HISTORY AND TRADITION.
>> CHARLIE: GOING IN I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT ORANGE COUNTY
BUT WHAT I DO KNOW ABOUT IT, IS THAT IT HAS AN AMAZING
HISTORY.
BOTH A REVOLUTIONARY HISTORY, AND A CIVIL WAR HISTORY, AND
I'M A HISTORY MAN SO I'M GONNA LOVE THIS TRIP I'M THINKING.
>> WAYDE: SO THE COURSE WE'RE GOING TO IS ACTUALLY CALLED
MEADOWS FARMS GOLF COURSE, AND IT WAS CREATED BY AN ECCENTRIC
YOU KNOW MILLIONAIRE FARMER, WHO IN MY OPINION CREATED THE
MOST UNIQUE GOLF COURSE IN NORTH AMERICA.
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY SINGLE HOLE HAS SOME SORT OF UNIQUE
QUALITY.
>> CHARLIE: WHAT'S COOL ABOUT THOSE FARMS AND THE LIST IS
LIKE THE ARMS LENGTH LONG, THEY HAVE A WATERFALL HOLE, A
BASEBALL SHAPED HOLE, THEY HAVE THE LONGEST HOLE IN THE
UNITED STATES.
WAYDE AND I HAVE BEEN TO MEADOWS FARMS IN THE PAST, AND
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE PLACE STARTED BY A VERY ECCENTRIC
BUT CREATIVE PERSON, AND WE KNOW IT'S UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP.
SO MY INITIAL THOUGHT IS I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW THIS THING
IS ANYTHING LIKE IT WAS BEFORE.
>> WAYDE: APPARENTLY A LOTS CHANGED SINCE OUR LAST VISIT
TO MEADOWS FARMS.
SO WE PULL IN, AND IT JUST KIND OF LOOKS THE SAME, BUT
THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS WHEN YOU GET OUT ON THE COURSE, OR
EVEN JUST LOOKING AT THE COURSE FROM THE CLUBHOUSE,
BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL OF
MAINTAIN.
IT IS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP, AND WE'RE GONNA MEET THE GENERAL
MANAGER JOSH DOTSON.
>> CHARLIE: WHO WAS BILL MEADOWS?
LIKE THE FARMER LIKE HE WAS A BIT ECCENTRIC RIGHT?
>> JOSH: FARMER MEADOWS WAS VERY, VERY ECCENTRIC HE'S A
GOOD FAMILY FRIEND.
HE STARTED OFF HE WAS ORIGINALLY FROM WEST VIRGINIA,
HE GREW UP IN THE COAL MINES HE MOVED OUT THIS WAY TO PUSH
THE WASHINGTON DC AREA.
AND STARTED SELLING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES BY THE ROAD AND DID
WELL FROM THERE.
AND SO HE WANTED TO BUILD YOU KNOW THE AVERAGE JOE'S GOLF
COURSE, YOU KNOW THE WAY HE WANTED GOLF TO BE.
HE WAS LEARNING HOW TO GOLF, HE DIDN'T WANT TO NECESSARILY
WEAR A COLLARD SHIRT.
>> CHARLIE: THE NEW OWNERSHIP, DOES THAT HAVE THE SAME NAME
AS THAT FARMER DID LIKE YOU WANT TO KEEP WHAT HE HAD HERE?
>> JOSH: OH WE JUST WANT TO EXPAND ON IT, I MEAN HIS
VISION, HIS VISION WAS INCREDIBLE.
>> CHARLIE: WE'RE AT ONE OF THE MANY UNIQUE HOLES ON THIS
GOLF COURSE, THIS IS THE WATERFALL HOLE.
JOSH HOW DID THIS COME ABOUT?
>> JOSH: THE FARMER WAS ON VACATION IN HAWAII AND HE
CALLED BACK HOME TO BOBBY LEWIS WHO'S HIS NEPHEW, WHO
WAS ACTUALLY RUNNING THE COURSE AT THE TIME.
HE SAID, BOBBY YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT TO BUILD A WATERFALL.
AND SO.
>> BOOM THERE IT IS.
>> THERE IT IS.
WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING FOR THE COUNTRY CLUB ELITE
GUYS TO GOLF OUR COURSE YOU KNOW, I WANT A GUY THAT JUST
FINISHED PUTTING DOWN MULCH IN HIS YARD, TO BE ABLE TO SAY
LOOK IT'S A GORGEOUS AFTERNOON, WHY NOT SNEAK OUT
TO THE MEADOWS PLAY GOLF AND ENJOY WHAT GOLF IS IN IT'S
TRUEST NATURE.
>> WAYDE: HOW MANY UNIQUE HOLES DO YOU HAVE?
>> JOSH: SO WE HAVE THE ISLAND, WE HAVE THE ISLAND
COURSE WHICH HAS THE ACTUAL ISLAND HOLE.
YOU GET TO THE FOURTH HOLE, AND BOOM YOU GOT THIS ONE.
YOU PLAY A COUPLE MORE HOLES AND YOU WIND UP AT THE
BASEBALL HOLE.
THOSE WERE FUN HOLES, THE FARMER WANTED TO BE KNOWN, AND
SO HE DECIDED TO BUILD YOU KNOW THE LONGEST HOLE IN THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
>> WAYDE: SO IT'S OFFICIALLY COINED AS NORTH AMERICA'S?
>> JOSH: IT'S THE LONGEST HOLE IN THE UNITED STATES THIS IS
WHAT WE HOLD THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS FOR.
>> SO PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE HOW LONG THIS HOLE ACTUALLY IS.
>> IT IS A HALF A MILE OF FAIRWAY AND THEN THERE IS ONE
OF THE MOST UNDULATING GREENS THAT WE HAVE ON THE COURSE.
SO EVEN IF A MIRACLE HAPPENS AND YOU'RE THERE IN THREE,
IT'S NOTHING.
>> CHARLIE: SO YOU DON'T EVEN GIVE US AN OASIS OF YOU
FINALLY GET TO A FLAT AREA AFTER A HALF A MILE OF
HITTING?
>> JOSH: AFTER HALF A MILE OF WORKING HARD, YOU GET THERE
AND IT'S STILL YOU CAN SEE IT'S A THREE OR FOUR PUTT.
A LOT OF US GREW UP PLAYING BASEBALL FARMER DID TOO.
HE NEVER HIT A HOME RUN IN LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL AND WAS
JUST TORMENTED.
HE SAID HEY WHY DON'T I BUILD MY OWN BASEBALL FIELD, AND I
CAN HIT A HOME RUN WHENEVER I WANT TO HIT A HOME RUN.
SO HE'D COME UP HERE, HE'D TEE UP, HE'D GRAB A DRIVER AND
HE'D JUST HIT THEM OVER THE FENCE.
AND THEY'RE JUST GONE.
>> CHARLIE: WAYDE'S CONVINCED THAT THE LEGEND OF A BASEBALL
PLAYER WHICH IS FAIRLY LOGICAL CAUSE WE'RE IN A VERY BASEBALL
AREA, BUT I'M STILL THINKING IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING
HISTORICALLY BASED.
FROM THE PUMPERNICKEL KID.
BERNIE NICHOLLS AND THE TORONTO BULLY TURNED ACTION HERO
ZACK WARD.

>> CHARLIE: WE'RE IN ORANGE COUNTY, WE'RE STAYING AT THE
INN ON POPLAR HILL WHICH IS THE HISTORIC OLD BUILDING IT
HAS SOME STRATEGIC PURPOSE DURING THE CIVIL WAR.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'D THINK OF AS AN OLD 1820'S, 1830'S
STYLE HOUSE.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A BIG RANCH LAND BALCONY'S OUT FRONT,
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL AREA.
>> WAYDE: SO MARTY AND VICTORIA WERE OUR HOSTS AT THE
INN ON POPLAR HILL AND JUST PHENOMENAL PEOPLE JUST DOWN TO
EARTH, EVERYTHING YOU COULD ASK FOR ON A HOST.
COULD YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MILITARY END OF THIS
PROPERTY?
>> MARTY IN 1862 IT WAS A SOUTHERN ENCAMPMENT FOR THE
CIVIL WAR.
SO THE BATTLES WERE GOING ON IN WILDERNESS AND
FREDERICKSBURG AND CULPEPER AND THE GENERAL'S WERE STAYING
AT THE MAYHURST PLANTATION WHICH IS RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD
FROM HERE AND THIS PROPERTY WAS OWNED BY THEM.
IT'S RIGHT ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION OF ROADS, SO THEY
WERE JUST LOOKING OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT NO UNION SOLDIERS
WERE COMING INTO THIS AREA.
WELL WE HAVE ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF OF WALKING TRAILS ON
OUR 28 ACRES.
WE LET OUR PROPERTY GROW BACK TO NATURE.
WE'VE GOT A FISHING POND WITH HAMMOCKS.
FIRE PITS, NICE SPOTS TO RELAX.
>> CHARLIE: SO HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE KICKING AND SCREAMING WHEN
THEY HAVE TO GO HOME?
>> MARTY: ALL OF THEM.
>> WAYDE: YES, EXACTLY.
SO WE LEAVE THE INN ON POPLAR HILL AND WE HEAD TO THE CIVIL
WAR HOSPITAL MUSEUM.
>> CHARLIE: WE ARE AT THE EXCHANGE HOTEL WHICH ALSO
DOUBLED IN THE CIVIL WAR AS A RECEIVING HOSPITAL, ONE OF 53
IN THE STATE.
THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS PLACE IS THAT IT WAS
ACTUALLY A RECEIVING HOSPITAL FOR BOTH SIDES.
IT WAS FOR BOTH THE UNION AND A CONFEDERATE EVEN THOUGH IT'S
ON CONFEDERATE PROPERTY.
>> WAYDE: SO YOU'RE OUT ON THE BATTLE FIELD, YOU'RE FIGHTING
EACH OTHER, YOU KNOW ONE GUY WOUNDS THE OTHER GUY AND THEY
END UP.
>> THEY END UP IN THE HOSPITAL BED TOGETHER.
THE FIRST PERSON WE MEET AT THE CIVIL WAR HOSPITAL MUSEUM
IS A GUY NAMED CHRIS.
AND AS YOU EXPECT IN A PLACE LIKE THIS THERE'S ALWAYS THAT
GUY THAT KNOWS EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE
AREA.
AND CHRIS WAS OUR GUY.
>> CHRIS: THE UNION OCCUPIED THIS BUILDING BECAUSE IT WAS
CONFEDERATE PROPERTY.
IT WAS A SCHOOL HOUSE TO TEACH TO NEWLY FREED SLAVES HOW TO
READ AND WRITE.
DOWN HERE WAS A COURTROOM AND IT ALSO DID MARRIAGE LICENSE.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY ALLOWED THE SLAVES TO
MARRIAGE EACH OTHER
>> CHARLIE: WALKING INTO THE ACTUAL OPERATING ROOM THEY HAD
SET UP IT FELT MORE OF GOING TO SOMEONE'S SHOP BECAUSE YOU
HAVE SAWS, AND HAMMERS AND YOU HAVE ALL THESE SHARP
INSTRUMENTS AND YOU START TO REALIZE HOW BASIC SURGERY BACK
IN THOSE DAYS WOULD OF BEEN.
>> CHRIS: HERE THEY WOULD OF PUT A PERSON DOWN AND PUT THIS
OVER THEIR FACE, THEY WOULD OF POURED CHLOROFORM OVER IT.
THE THING THAT PEOPLE DON'T TELL YOU IS THE GUY ACTUALLY
HAD A STICK THAT WAS THERE, AND HE BASICALLY WOULD TRY TO
KEEP YOU FROM GOING COMPLETELY UNDER.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO BRING YOU BACK.
>> CHARLIE: DURING THE TOUR CHRIS SHOWED US A LOT OF
THINGS, AND TOLD US A LOT OF THINGS, AND ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT HE KIND OF GLANCED OVER BUT WHAT REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE
WAS A TREE THAT WAS ON THE PROPERTY THERE THAT HAD QUITE
A BIT OF HISTORY TO IT.
THIS TREE BEHIND ME IS RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY OF THE CIVIL
WAR RECEIVING HOSPITAL, AND WAS THE SITE OF A NUMBER OF
SLAVE HANGINGS DURING THE CIVIL WAR PERIOD.
IT'S ALWAYS AMAZING TO SEE SOMETHING THAT ULTIMATELY IS
SO BEAUTIFUL, TO HAVE SUCH A DARK STORY BEHIND IT.
>> WAYDE: SO AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE HISTORY AND LOVE
HISTORY THAT IS CHARLIE'S BAG.
AS SOON AS THE GHOST STUFF COMES UP THAT'S WHERE I PERK
UP A LITTLE BIT, AND HERE I GO.
THERE'S A LOT OF GHOSTS HERE.
>> ANGEL: OH YA A LOT OF SPIRIT ACTIVITY.
THE REASON WHY I THINK THAT WE'RE SO HAUNTED US BECAUSE
YOU KNOW THEY TREATED 70,000 TROOPS HERE OVER THE COURSE OF
THE WAR, AND THERE WERE A LITTLE OVER 900 DEATHS, AND SO
MANY BODIES WERE BURIED HERE ON THE PROPERTY, AND THEN AT
THE END OF THE WAR YOU KNOW WHEN THEY HAD TO REENTER AND
DIG THEM BACK UP THEY DIDN'T LEAVE THEM IN PEACE.
THIS IS OUR GIFT SHOP.
IT'S THIS POSTCARD RACK RIGHT HERE, AND THEN THIS MOVES ALL
BY ITSELF.
DID YOU SEE THAT?
>> WAYDE: YA.
>> ONE FULL TURN.
>> CHARLIE: I'M A LITTLE ON THE FENCE WHEN IT COMES TO THE
PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE VIDEO CAUSE I'M NOT SURE, BUT
SOMETHING ABOUT THE AUTO RECORDING GOT ME A LITTLE MORE
INTO BELIEVING THIS.
>> WE HAVE A MAN ON THE THIRD FLOOR, AND I DON'T KNOW HIS
NAME WE JUST CALL HIM THE WHISTLER, AND HE WHISTLES ALL
THE TIME.
AND SO THIS ONE YOU HEAR HIM WHISTLING AND THEN YOU HEAR
THE LITTLE GIRL SINGING AS HE'S WHISTLING.
BUT YOU HEAR FOOTSTEPS LIKE WE'RE WALKING.
IT'S LIKE SHE'S PLAYING A GAME TELLING US TO STOP AS WE'RE
WALKING UP THE STAIRS.
AND WE.
>> WAYDE: THAT'S CLEAR AS A BELL.
>> ANGEL: WE DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN ON GHOST HUNTS.
WE JUST DON'T YOU NOW WE'RE NOT GONNA ALLOW A CHILD TO
COME IN AND BE TRAUMATIZED FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
>> WAYDE: THE LITTLE GIRL SINGING AND COUNTING PUSHED ME
OVER THE EDGE, AND JUST CONFIRMED MY EXISTING BELIEFS
THAT THERE ARE GHOSTS.
>> CHARLIE: SO WE TOURED STUFF THAT WAYDE LIKED LIKE THE
GHOST STUFF, AND THE STUFF THAT I LIKED AND WE'RE GETTING
READY FOR TOMORROWS BIG MATCH.
BIG EPIC THREE HOLE CHALLENGE AGAINS WHOEVER OUR LEGEND WILL
BE.
>> CHARLIE: WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO MEADOWS FARMS.
WE'RE GOING TO PLAY THE HIGHWAYS TO FAIRWAYS EPIC
THREE HOLE CHALLENGE.
WHO WE PLAY IN THIS IS ALWAYS A MYSTERY.
WE DON'T KNOW UNTIL COME OUT, WHAT 15 MINUTES BEFORE WE PLAY
THIS PERSON?
>> WAYDE: YES, DO YOU HAVE ANY THEORIES ON WHO IT MIGHT BE?
>> CHARLIE: I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I THINK WE'LL BE
PLAYING.
>> WAYDE: I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN OUR LEGEND TODAY IS GOING TO
BE A BASEBALL PLAYER BECAUSE OF THE BASEBALL HOLE AT
MEADOWS FARMS.
IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.
I GOOGLED, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND I GUESS WE'LL SOON FIND
OUT.
>> CHARLIE: AND THE LOCAL LEGEND PREPARES A LITTLE VIDEO
FOR US.
AND WE GET TO SEE HIM OR HER.
>> HEY GUYS MY NAMES CHRIS HANEY, FORMER MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL PLAYER FOR THE BETTER PART OF A DECADE, AND LIFE
LONG RESIDENT OF ORANGE COUNTY.
I'M GLAD YOU GUYS CAME DOWN HERE, MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE
YOU BUT ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE.
>> WAYDE: OH IT'S ON HANEY.
>> CHARLIE: CHRIS HANEY IS ACTUALLY A GUY I REMEMBERED
FROM WHEN HE PLAYED, HE PLAYED THE BETTER PART OF A DECADE IN
THE MAJOR LEAGUES.
>> WAYDE: I HEAR IT'S ON.
>> CHRIS: WELL I LIKE A BAG OF ICE AND BEER ALREADY.
>> CHARLIE: WE MEET CHRIS IN THE PARKING LOT, WE BRING OUT
SOME BEVERAGES FOR HIM, HE'S IN PINK SHORTS WE'RE THINKING
THIS IS ALRIGHT THIS GUY IS PRETTY RELAXED.
>> WAYDE: KIND OF PART CANADIAN.
>> CHRIS: YA WELL I STARTED MY CAREER IN CANADA.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES ME PART CANADIAN.
>> NARRATOR: SO THE RULES FOR THE EPIC THREE HOLE MYSTERY
CHALLENGE ARE WAYDE AND CHARLIE PLAY TOGETHER AGAINST
THE LEGEND BEST BALL , BEST TWO OUT OF THREE, ONE MULLIGAN
PER TEAM, LOSER BUYS THE BEER.
NOTE, GOLF RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE, BECAUSE WELL IT IS
THEIR SHOW.
>> CHARLIE: DO YOU GATHER APPRECIATION FOR HOW PEOPLE
AROUND HERE THEY ADMIRE WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
>> CHRIS: I UNDERSTAND IT, WITH SOME DEGREE THERE'S A
RESPONSIBILITY WITH IT AS WELL, BUT THE FACT THAT THESE
KIDS CAN SEE THAT IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO SOMETHING AND YOU
DO IT THEN IT'S POSSIBLE, AND THAT'S THE PART THAT I THINK'S
REALLY COOL IS THAT THEY CAN SAY WELL THIS GUY IS FROM
RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD.
YOU KNOW.
BOY THAT'S A GOOD START.
>> WAYDE: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
OH MY GOD.
>> OH YA I THINK YOU'RE OK.
>> CHARLIE: WELL THAT SAVES ONE OF US, THAT'S A GOOD SHOT.
HOLY JEEZ WAYDE.
>> CHRIS: NOPE THAT'S OFF.
THAT'S OFF, THAT'S GOT TO CARRY SOME.
>> WAYDE: REMEMBER WHAT I SAID?
YEP.
>> CHRIS: STILL PRETTY GOOD.
>> WAYDE: WE'RE DOWN A BALL BUT WE'RE ON.
>> UH OH THAT'S NOT GOOD, THAT'S NOT GOOD.
>> WE NEVER HAVE STRATEGY BUT THIS TIME, THIS GUYS A
PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE, I JUST GOT TO LET YOU KNOW IT'S
COMING THIS WAY.
>> CHARLIE: NO IT'S NOT.
>> YES IT IS.
>> OK.
OH JEEZ THAT'S FAST.
>> WAYDE: OH WE'RE STILL IN THERE.
PERFECT.
>> WAYDE: THE FIRST HOLE ENDS IN A CARRY OVER, SO WE'RE
ACTUALLY NOT DOING TOO BAD.
>> CHRIS: YOU KNOW GREW UP HERE, FROM HERE FAMILY BEEN
HERE A LONG, LONG TIME 100 YEARS.
I'M LIVING ON A PROPERTY THAT'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR
100 YEARS.
I CAME FROM A BASEBALL FAMILY, HAD A COUSIN THAT PLAYED IN
THE BIG LEAGUES, MY DAD PLAYED IN THE BIG LEAGUES YOU KNOW.
MY DAD'S BROTHER WAS A AAA PLAYER, BOTH MY BROTHERS
PLAYED IN COLLEGE.
IT'S JUST KIND OF IT'S KIND OF WHAT WE DID YOU KNOW WE WERE
FORTUNATE AND YOU KNOW GOD GIFTED ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT.
YOU KNOW I'VE ALWAYS BEEN HERE, I'LL ALWAYS BE HERE IT'S
JUST YOU KNOW, KIND OF DEEPLY ENTRENCHED.
>> WAYDE: OK SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE A CRACK AT THIS LONGEST
HOLE AND YOU'RE GONNA START WITH YOUR STRATEGY IS?
>> I WANT TO HIT A THREE WOOD.
>> A THREE WOOD?
>> JUST TRY TO HIT IT STRAIGHT OK?
>> OK CHARLIE YOU SAID YOU'RE ALREADY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
HIT AN IRON.
>> CHARLIE: THIS IS LIKE AN IRON FOR ME.
I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE BUT YOU CAN'T PREPARE FOR YOU KNOW
AN 841 YARD HOLE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.
SO MY INITIAL THINKING IS WAYDE AND I DISCUSSED IT THAT
HE WOULD TAKE DRIVER AND I WOULD TAKE SOMETHING SHORT.
BUT I CANT' START THE LONGEST HOLE IN THE UNITED STATES WITH
A THREE IRON ALRIGHT.
NOPE, THERE IT GOES.
>> WAYDE: THE HOLE STARTS OFF A LITTLE ROCKY, OUR STRATEGY
STARTS OFF A LITTLE ROCKY.
NOW WAIT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE AIMING TOWARDS THE POND.
AIM OVER THERE.
>> CHARLIE: WHERE'S THE POND?
>> THE PONDS RIGHT THERE, OH SAY RIGHT?
>> SEE THE HUMP, AIM KIND OF TOWARDS THE HUMP.
>> CHRIS: THERE IT IS, TAKE THE CART PATH!
>> CHARLIE: OH I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
HOLY CRAP.
>> CHRIS: I CAN HIT OFF THE GRASS?
>> YES ABSOLUTELY >> CHARLIE: SO WE END UP LETTING CHRIS PUT
HIS BALL YOU KNOW 10 FEET OUT INTO THE FAIRWAY.
I GUESS IT'S PART OF SPORTSMANSHIP BUT WAS ALSO
PART OF IT'S THINKING THAT WE'RE GONNA BE IN THAT SAME
SITUATION LATER THAT WE WANT TO SORT OF SET THE PRECEDENCE.
>> WAYDE: CHRIS, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CHARLIE'S GAME SO
FAR?
CHARLIE SPECIFICALLY NOT ME.
>> CHRIS: HE'S HITTING IT OK.
YOU'RE A LITTLE BETTER RIGHT NOW, BUT HE'S.
>> WAYDE: DO WE NEED TO MOVE FURTHER AWAY FROM HIM?
>> HE'S HITTING OK.
>> TO BE HONEST?
>> IT'S HARD TO PLAY ON TV
>> BUT THAT'S HIS WHOLE.
>> CHARLIE: I CAN HEAR YOU.
>> WAYDE: THERE WE GO.
>> CHRIS: GOOD SHOT.
REAL GOOD SHOT.
>> WAYDE: NICE SHOT BUDDY.
>> UH OH.
>> TURN BALL.
THIS IS ACTUAL COMPETITION.
WE DID NOT, WE'RE NOT USED TO THIS.
I DON'T MEAN THAT SOMEBODY'S ACTUALLY, I MEAN WE'RE
ACTUALLY PUTTING UP A LITTLE BIT OF A FIGHT HERE.
SO WE'RE ABOUT HALFWAY TO THE LONGEST HOLE IN NORTH AMERICA,
AND CHARLIE AND I BOTH SET UP FOR A SHOT.
MINE DOES NOT GO WELL.
AND CHARLIE'S PELT GOES FURTHER THAN THE BALL ITSELF
SO BRING ON OUR MULLIGAN.
>> CHARLIE: OH, HELLO WAYDE.
>> WAYDE: FLY.
KEEP FLYING.
>> CHRIS: KEEP FLYING.
GOOD SHOT.
>> WAYDE: SO WE HAVE TO GET IT CLOSE CAUSE HE, AND THEN THAT
FORCES HIM TO MAKE THIS PUTT.
>> CHARLIE: SO WE'RE IN A PRETTY FAMILIAR SITUATION BOTH
US AND OUR LEGEND ARE ON THE GREEN EXCEPT OUR LEGENDS ONE
STROKE UP CLOSER TO THE HOLE THAN WE ARE.
>> WAYDE: PUNCH AND RUN.
AS WE HAVE A LONG, LONG PUTT TO SINK.
BUT YOU KNOW EYE OF THE TIGER.
I LOOK AT MY PARTNER, YOU KNOW HIS JOB IS TO PUTT, AND GOSH
DARN IT HE PUTTED TODAY.
GET IN, GET IN.
YA!
YES!
>> CHRIS: VERY NICE.
CARRY OVER.
>> CHRIS: CARRY OVER FINAL HOLE.
>> CHARLIE: WELL WE'RE IN UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY, AFTER
TWO HOLES WE'RE TIED WITH THE LEGEND AND WE'RE HEADING TO
THE THIRD HOLE FOR THE ALL OR NOTHING AND ON THE BASEBALL
HOLE NONE THE LESS AGAINST A BASEBALL PLAYER.
>> CHARLIE: WE'RE AT MEADOWS FARMS, ON THE THIRD HOLE OF
THE EPIC THREE HOLE CHALLENGE.
WE'RE TIED WITH THE LEGEND, THIS IS FOR ALL THE MARBLES.
>> WAYDE: IF YOU'D LIKE, STICKING WITH YOUR SPORT OF
PREFERENCE.
>> CHARLIE: OH I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
I GET IT.
>> WAYDE: YOU COULD EITHER HIT YOUR TEE SHOT FROM HERE, OR
THROW IT.
>> CHARLIE: OH NO.
>> CHRIS: I GOT A BETTER IDEA.
>> WAYDE: OK, WHAT'S THAT?
>> CHRIS: WHY DON'T WE ALL TEE OFF WITH A BASEBALL BAT.
>> DO YOU HAVE ONE?
DO YOU REALLY?
>> YA WHY NOT.
>> OF ALL THE PEOPLE WE'VE PLAYED AGAINST, CHRIS HAS BEEN
THE MOST SERIOUS.
SO FOR HIM TO BREAK OUT THAT BASEBALL BAT IT WOULD JUST HIT
A SWITCH IN MY HEAD FOR THE AMOUNT OF FUN WE COULD HAVE
WITH THIS GUY.
>> CHARLIE: INITIALLY WE JUST THOUGHT ABOUT WHACKING THE
BALLS OVER THE FENCE, JUST HAVE SOME HOME RUNS AND GET
BACK TO OUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM.
BUT WE DECIDE AMONGST US TO USE THE BAT FOR THE APPROACH
SHOTS, AND WE'RE GONNA USE OUR PUTTER FOR THE PUTTS.
OH KEEP FADING, FADING EVERY TIME.
I HAD NO IDEA THAT USING A BASEBALL BAT FOR THE APPROACH
SHOTS WOULD ACTUALLY TURN OUT TO BE AN ADVANTAGE FOR US, BUT
THEN I STARTED TO REALIZE WE'RE AGAINST THE PITCHER NOT
THE BATTER.
SO HE SPENT HIS LIFE THROWING THE BALL NOT HITTING IT, SO.
>> OH!
>> SAND TRAP.
>> OH NO IT'S NOT THERE.
WE'RE GOOD.
>> OH PARTNER.
THAT'S THE SAME GUY.
PARTNER.
>> WAYDE: PARTNER STEPS UP, HE LAYS DOWN A HALF BUNT HALF
SWING, AND PUTS IT TO WITHIN 10 FEET.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO HIT.
>> CHRIS: THERE YOU GO.
>> STICK ,STICK.
WELL IT'S A PUTT.
WE GOT A COMPETITION.
WE'RE ALL ON THE GREEN HERE AND YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO BRING
SOMETHING TO THE TABLE.
SO WE PULL OUT THE HOCKEY STICK PUTTER AND WE SAY HANEY,
STICKS AND BATS.
AND HE TRIES THE HOCKEY STICK PUTTER.
>> CHRIS: I'M ABOUT TO HIT A REALLY BAD SHOT I THINK.
I'M ABOUT TO HIT A GOLF BALL WITH A....
SOME FORM OF A HOCKEY CLUB.
>> WAYDE: BY THE WAY IT IS.
>> CHARLIE: HE'S PUTTING.
HE'S PUTTING.
>> WAYDE: HE'S NOT PUTTING YET, HE'S FRETTING.
IT IS LIKE THOSE ARE USEABLE ON TOUR AND EVERYTHING SO
THAT'S LEGITIMATELY WEIGHTED.
>> SO WE'RE GOOD.
>> YA RIGHT HERE, SEE.
>> GOOD.
>> CHARLIE: CHRIS PROBABLY DIDN'T REALIZE AT THE TIME BUT
MAKING HIM FORCE HIMSELF TO USE OUR PUTTER, THAT PROBABLY
SAVED US STROKES CAUSE HE PROBABLY HAD ONE OR TWO
PUTTING STROKES TO WARM UP ON THIS THING.
>> WAYDE: SO THE RESULTS ON THE GREEN WEREN'T THAT GOOD.
WE ALL KIND OF JUST BATTED IT AROUND WITHOUT THE BATT WITH
THE HOCKEY STICK.
>> TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH.
>> WHAT THE HELL? >> LOOK AT THIS
>> CHRIS: IF I SINK THIS WE WIN.
IF I SINK THE SECOND ONE WE TIE.
>> WAYDE: OH!
THIS IS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE.
WE ENDED UP IN A TIE.
AND WE'VE NEVER TIED ANYONE BEFORE.
SO WE NOW HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.
>> CHARLIE: TO DETERMINE A WINNER HERE, JOSH DOTSON THE
GM OF MEADOWS FARMS, DECIDES TO SHOW US HIS 29TH SPECIAL
HOLE WHICH IS ESSENTIAL THE BACK PORCH OF THE CLUBHOUSE
ACROSS A MASSIVE POND, TO A GREEN WHICH WAS ON ANOTHER
SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.
>> JOSH: WE'RE TIED AFTER THREE CHAMPIONSHIP HOLES, SO I
DECIDED TO BRING YOU TO THE 29TH HOLE AT MEADOWS FARMS
GOLF COURSE.
THE 234 YARD MONSTER.
>> CHARLIE: SO THE RULES FOR THIS 29TH HOLE THIS OVERTIME
EPIC THREE HOLE CHALLENGE HOLE WAS CLOSEST TO THE PIN,
WHOEVER GET'S IT ON THE GREEN WE MEASURE HOW CLOSE YOU ARE
TO THE PIN AND WE WIN.
THAT WAS A GOOD THEORY WHEN IT STARTED.
>> WAYDE: SO RIGHT AWAY WE REALIZED THAT NONE OF US CAN
REACH THAT GREEN BECAUSE WE'RE NOT VERY GOOD.
SO NOW IT'S CLOSEST TO THE GREEN EVEN IN THE WATER.
IT WAS REALLY AN UNSCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT, AND WE COULD OF
CONTESTED IT, BUT ULTIMATELY WE DECIDE CHRIS WINS.
CONGRATULATIONS .
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> GENTLEMEN.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
>> WAYDE: AND IF WE COULD DO A LITTLE CHEERS HERE.
HANDS ACROSS THE BOARD.
>> CHEERS.
>> CHEERS.
>> CHEERS.
>> WAYDE: CHRIS AS A LEGEND WAS THE EPITOME OF WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR.
WHE HAD THAT I CAN'T LOSE TYPE ATTITUDE, BUT WAS ALSO REALLY
FUN AND ACTUALLY OUTDID US BY BRINGING OUT THE BAT.
>> CHARLIE: AS A GENERAL RULE I THINK WE ENJOY EVERY PLACE
WE GO TO THE AMENITIES THE THINGS WE DO THE GOLF COURSES
WE SEE.
BUT THE GOLDEN RULE TO ME IS HOW MUCH YOU ENJOYED A PLACE
WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.
AND ORANGE COUNTY IN VIRGINIA WAS A PLACE I DID NOT WANT TO
LEAVE.
