(triumphant music)
- Paul, how's your short game?
- It's been pretty good, yeah.
(upbeat music)
- We're out at Formby Hall, in Southport, UK,
which is in England, and we're out here
for this YouTube Golf Day.
Thanks to Rick Shiels for putting this on, it's a blast.
We're thinking we have a little bit
of a putting competition, switching putters.
This is Lincoln.
This is Paul.
Paul is tall, Lincoln is not tall.
(host laughing)
It's okay Lincoln, you're only 13 years old.
Paul, you're currently the tallest man in the UK, correct?
- Tallest man in Europe, actually.
- [Host] Tallest man in all of Europe.
How tall are you?
- Seven foot seven and a half.
- [Host] Lincoln, how tall are you?
- Five foot seven and a half.
- [Host] Okay, so you got two full feet on him.
Tell me about your putter.
What kind of putter do you have?
Do you know how long it is?
- Yeah, so I got a Ping putter, custom made by Ping.
I wanna say it's 53 inches long.
- [Host] Okay.
- So it's a little tall, it's real good.
It's perfect for me to have a thick grip.
I'm sure Lincoln's gonna do fine with it.
- Honestly, I feel like I might have the advantage
on this because you have to lean down like this.
(host laughs) You know?
- Alright, so we're gonna switch 'em up.
- Let's do it.
Where do you wanna putt from, Lincoln?
- Um...
- [Paul] Let's keep it easy and go uphill.
- Yeah, about right here.
- [Paul] You don't wanna go downhill.
You can't grip down though, you have to use the full--
- Like this?
- [Paul] Yep. (laughs)
- My shoulders.
(Paul laughs)
- Oh, I'm at a disadvantage here,
left hand and very short.
(host laughing)
- Okay, here we go.
- [Group] Oh.
- [Host] Okay, look who's closer.
- No!
- Three.
Now the pressure's on Paul.
The most pressure he's had in his life on a putt.
- [Group] Oh!
- [Host] A winner.
The champion.
The champion is tall Paul, not tall Paul.
Your friends call you tiny, is that right?
- Yeah, tiny or tall Paul sometimes.
Yeah, a little bit of both.
- Okay, tiny or tall Paul, that is great.
We might have to do a chipping competition.
- Oh.
- Switching wedges.
- That would be hard because my wedge is tiny.
(majestic music)
No.
- [Host] Hop up top there, Lincoln.
- Don't drive yet.
(driver laughing)
- [Host] Okay, go ahead guys.
- I still can do stuff. - No, don't drive.
- [Host] Go ahead, go ahead.
- Don't drive! (yells)
- Sorry.
- [Host] Paul, can you stand on that?
Or no, is that...
- Yeah, he'll be totally fine. - Don't hurt yourself.
(group laughing)
- [Host] Okay, go!
Forward we go!
Yes!
- This feels unsafe.
We need an adult!
(upbeat techno music)
- It is time for tall versus tiny competition part two.
This is a beautiful hole right here, check it out.
You have about 20 yards of green to work with.
We're gonna set two balls right over here.
Alright, Paul, how's your short game?
- It's been pretty good, yeah.
- [Host] Yeah.
- So we're gonna see how it is left handed.
- Yes, we've seen some pretty good shots from Paul.
I mean, his short game, really is pretty spectacular.
Lincoln has almost lipped out three or four shots today.
- It's been five from one inch, like this far.
- [Host] Five.
Okay let's compare these two real quick.
Let's see.
You gotta switch your hands around.
Is that the right way?
There you go.
- This? - Yeah, that's it.
- [Host] That's it, that's how you do it.
- What the heck? - Let's see it.
(Paul laughing)
- It just looks awful.
- [Host] You might need to swing a little harder.
(bell dings)
- [Host] Oh, it came off nicely.
Going a little left or a lot left.
Ooh a lefty, lefty short.
- [Paul] Oh, this feels awkward.
- Yeah.
(bell dings)
(group laughing)
- That was terrible.
(host laughing)
(upbeat techno music)
(bell dings)
- [Host] Ooh.
(bell dings)
- [Lincoln] What the?
- [Host] Um, hole's over that way.
(bell dings)
- [Host] Third shot for Lincoln.
Paul for the win.
(bell dings)
- [Lincoln] Oh, no.
- [Paul] Oh.
- [Host] Ooh, look who's on the outside.
It comes down to this.
Thoughts so far on the competition?
- It's not great, but I'm still in it.
- [Host] Okay, Lincoln?
- His clubs are heavy.
- [Host] (laughs) Okay.
(bell dings)
- [Paul] Oh.
- [Lincoln] That was good.
- [Paul] You gotta putt for the win, Lincoln.
- Five. (bell dings)
If not we do sudden death.
- [Host] And if you hit this, Lincoln,
you guys are tied one and one.
(bell dings)
- [Paul] Oh, that's not a gimme.
(bell dings)
- [Host] Ooh, it's a tie!
- We gotta do a tie breaker.
- [Host] Okay, the tie breaker.
Paul, you decide, what's the tie breaker gonna be?
If you hit with your own clubs?
- The same thing, but own clubs, okay?
- [Host] Sound good, Lincoln?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Alright, well there's your putter.
- [Host] All right boys.
- Over there.
- [Host] This is the best thing ever.
Exactly two feet of heighth difference.
So Paul, if you were allowed,
based off of the golf association, to have longer clubs,
do you think you would you have longer clubs?
- I would with a driver.
My driver's only allowed to be four inches longer,
so that's what I have.
- That seems unfair.
So PGA Commissioner, if you're watching this right now,
help Paul out, guys.
Let us know in the comments, if you know the Twitter handle
for a PGA Commissioner, let him know
that we need Paul to have longer clubs.
Make it a rule, make an exception.
Paul needs it.
- Alright, may the best man win.
(upbeat techno music)
(bell dings)
- [Lincoln] Oh.
- [Host] Oh, the way he played it off the hill.
It's going, it's going.
Ooh.
- [Lincoln] Now.
- The pressure's on.
Do you want me to mark that?
- Nah, it's good.
Unless I hit it in.
- [Host] It's going, Lincoln, it's right in your line.
- [Man] Am I gonna get hit by this?
(bell dings)
- [Host] Oh.
- [Lincoln] Why is it stopping?
- [Host] Ooh, it's close, he put the pressure on.
He delivered.
- He's gotta putt first,
so he could put the pressure on now.
(dramatic music)
- [Host] Lincoln needs this putt.
This is for all of it, the pressure is on.
(bell dings)
Ooh, he misses to the left.
Just pushed that put a little bit there.
This opens the door for Paul. (bell dings)
- [Paul] Oh.
(bell dings several times)
- [Host] Not his finest performance.
We've seen the pressure on him.
(bell dings several times) (host laughing)
- [Host] Alright, if he makes this, he wins.
We're gonna just count this one, if he makes this--
- We got one putt for the win.
(upbeat techno music)
- [Lincoln] Oh, another tie breaker, he leaves it short!
- I don't believe it.
(host laughing)
That's the only thing short I've ever done.
(audience laughing)
- [Host] I believe it. (laughs)
- Alright, another tie breaker.
- Okay, last tie breaker.
There's lots of tie breakers here.
(upbeat techno music)
- Alright, let's putt from the top of the green.
- [Host] One putt, til we see who's closest to the hole.
- Closest to the hole.
- [Host] One putt at it.
- Okay.
- Oh that's money.
Break! - That's a little--
- [Lincoln] Break!
Wow!
I thought that was perfect.
- Okay, here we go.
- [Host] Oh he kisses the putter.
(Paul laughing)
(birds chirping)
- [Lincoln] He did it!
- Oh that looks good, though.
Oh.
I don't know, I don't think I've done it.
- [Host] Do we need to measure it?
Oh my gosh!
Look at that.
(Lincoln yelling)
Wow, one leaves it long, one leaves it short.
- About that much.
- [Host] We have just over one flag length.
Calling for the measurement.
- Oh! - Oh!
- [Host] Okay, the clear winner on this one is Tiny.
Good job Lincoln, you're the winner.
- Thank you, thank you.
- [Host] Yes, good job, shake, shake.
- Shouldn't kiss the putter.
- [Host] You shouldn't have kissed the putter.
- Shouldn't have kissed the putter.
(coughs)
- The third and final competition
of the day of Tiny versus Tall
is going to be all about the driver.
This is Paul and Lincoln's driver right here.
Lincoln, how much longer is his driver than yours?
- Not that much, look at that.
- [Host] You guys have to switch drivers.
Whoever hits it the furthest is the winner of the day,
of this video, of this competition.
So, have you ever hit a left-handed club before?
- No, this is not gonna be good.
- Oh. - So...
- Here you go.
- [Host] Lincoln, right-handed?
- Never. (Paul laughing)
- [Host] Lincoln, this is a custom-made driver.
- You know how I'm hitting it though.
- [Host] Do not break it.
No, you can't hit it lefty.
Can't hit it lefty.
- Why not?
- [Host] Nope, right handed.
- I really don't know how this is gonna go.
- [Host] Have you ever hit a lefty driver before?
- Nope, I'm gonna baseball grip it.
- [Host] Baseball grip it?
- Baseball grip.
- How do you usually hold a club?
Do you interlock your fingers?
- I interlock, but the grip is smaller,
so baseball, I'm holding the shaft.
(host laughing)
- Alright, here we go, are you ready?
- [Host] Here we go lefty.
- [Man] Yeah, we'd be standing behind the ball.
- I'm about to...
(man laughing)
Alright, here we go.
(sentimental music)
Welp, the standard is not high to beat.
- [Host] Alright mister right-handed golfer,
no choking up.
Use that full club.
The pressure is on.
All Lincoln has to do is hit, what was it, like 25 yards.
Okay Lincoln, let's go.
You got this.
(triumphant music)
Good practice swing. - Ouch.
(Lincoln yelling) (group cheering)
We have a winner!
(host laughing)
Look at that celebration dance, Lincoln.
(Lincoln laughing)
- What, Happy riding a bull?
(host laughing)
- Nice job! - Yep.
- [Host] Clear winner of today's competition.
- Good job.
- Way to go, Lincoln, good competition.
- [Host] Alright, Paul, thanks for being a good sport.
- Yep.
- [Host] It's a pleasure golfing with you today.
Where can people check you out?
On Instagram?
- On Instagram, yep, Paul Sturgess underscore.
And I'm just starting YouTube,
so TallPaulVlogs, check it out.
- Yes. - Hopefully there'll
be some cool stuff on there.
- TallPaulVlogs, you heard it first here.
Great guy, really good golfer, really good golfer.
It doesn't matter if he was tiny or tall or average,
he's just basically a good golfer,
so that was a lot of fun.
Lincoln, good job at being a good sport on here competing.
- [Paul] Here you go, you can have yours back.
- Yeah, good job.
- [Host] This is the best thing ever.
(majestic music)
