(dramatic music)
- Over 120 degrees.
I feel like my heart's beatin' fast.
Welcome back to What's Inside? Family.
I'm Dan and I'm here in Furnace Creek, Arizona.
Arizona, California.
I'm losin' my mind here.
It is so hot, it is well over 120 degrees at this point.
And if you saw the last video,
it was me playing the front nine of this course.
The idea is can I golf an entire 18 holes
in the world's hottest temperatures?
Seriously, yesterday it was 131 degrees,
and today's it's supposed to be one degree hotter.
We teed off at 10 am, that's the latest tee time
they'll let people go out, for health and safety reasons.
We're gonna see if I can complete
this nine holes.
The goal on the back nine is to one, not die,
(bell dings) two, to finish the 18,
(bell dings) and then three,
to shoot better than nine over,
(bell dings) like I did on the front nine.
It's crazy out here.
I've got Hunter behind the camera.
He's not golfing today.
Usually, I have him golf and we have fun,
but I just really wanna check this off my bucket list,
and see if we can complete it.
I have somebody behind the camera,
and our cameras, we've gone through like three batteries.
I don't even know if we're gonna be able to finish this.
So anyway, onto the 10th hole.
(upbeat music)
Whoa, we're startin' out big.
512, par five.
It's tight.
(club whooshes)
It's further than the tee box, so that's good.
I hit it, just pushed it a little right.
(club whooshes)
What in the world?
I feel like this is dangerous.
I feel like that should be quick sand in there,
but the golf balls in there.
I'm goin' for it.
Hunter, you might wanna stay in the safety zone.
(intense music) (grunts)
(laughs) Oh no.
That was literally a snake.
The pin is in a very mean spot, on like the very far left
of this green, so.
I've been missing left today,
especially with this pitching wedge.
I'm gonna aim, I'm gonna pretend the pin's
right in the middle of the green.
(club whooshes)
I'm not gonna be Mr. Excuse Golfer today.
And we're into the wind on this hole.
It's humid out here.
You wouldn't think it's so humid.
Still doesn't fly far.
That was about as good as I can hit it.
Roger, hold up, we don't have that where I live.
On my home course, that would've been off the green.
Here comes an excuse, this heat is crazy.
(laughs) And my ball is goin' all over the place.
Good contact, just pushed it right.
Golf is a mental game and when your mind starts getting off,
I don't know, I'm goin' with excuses here.
I feel like I've probably lined up wrong,
and I was compensating for the previous holes
where I went left and then I hit it pure and straight.
That's not so bad.
What is this, look at this.
I thought I was in the waste land.
I was right pin high,
I just can't seem to hit the ball straight today.
(club whooshes) (upbeat music)
I don't wanna sound too excited, but I'm pretty excited
with that shot.
The outside of this bottle is hot to the touch.
Seriously, really hot.
Water's still pretty cold in there.
- Do you see that? - What?
(pole clinks)
- This is locked up here, that's it.
That's great, I'm gonna see what my heart rate is.
I'll tell ya, 140, my heart rate.
141, 142.
145, 46.
Why am I getting more?
Is it heat, what's dangerous, Hunter?
148, I'm just gonna stand here for a second
and let my heart relax.
Get it back down to the 20s.
See, look out there, it's just,
there's Death Valley.
It's a wasteland out there.
(sighs) (suspenseful music)
Okay.
I'm about ready.
It's so dumb sometimes.
That was a perfect line.
Look at the holes in that.
- [Hunter] It doesn't even want to be here.
- [Dan] Temperature check, Hunter, what do you think it is?
- 120. - Got 121, baby.
121 degrees out here.
Feels hotter than that.
- [Hunter] What I didn't expect was
that it'd be so humid here.
It feels like I'm in Florida.
It's really hot, but this a lot hot.
So that's, that's a neat trick.
- Oh. (chuckles)
(ice clanks)
(laughs)
(club whooshes)
Oh, baby!
Smoked it. - Is this the birdie hole?
- Why not, why not now?
It's the only other time I'm gonna put ice
in my pants today.
Better be the birdie hole.
(upbeat music)
Oh yeah, the wind feels good.
Ice was a good decision.
Ice in your pants, ice in your shirt.
You get a little crazy out here on the 11th hole.
Let's see where I bombed that drive.
I felt good on that one.
Oh yeah, there she is, sittin' pretty
in the fairway.
Looks fantastic, we got the flag up here.
Look who we got here. - Hey.
- Jordan, did you hear our messages?
Our cries for help?
Do you happen to have any more Gatorades or Powerades?
And you'd like to bring any out?
I would definitely pay you.
- I'm sorry, have I missed it?
- Yes. - I was out runnin',
so I didn't even catch it. - You were running in this?
- You were running in this? - Oh yeah.
There's nothing better than this.
It's like running in a sauna.
- [Dan] My heart rate is goin' nuts.
I've been trackin' it on this WHOOP bracelet.
Oh man, you saved the day. - Yeah, here's an extra one.
- [Dan] Oh, perfect.
What's temperature right now, do ya think?
- Time to guess, it'd probably be 120?
4:00, 4:30 is when the peak will be.
- Okay. - If you guys are still out.
Maybe you wanna go for another 18?
- Might take a pass on that.
(laughter) As much as I love golf,
if I can get through 18, that's an accomplishment.
So you're a golf pro, do you teach?
- I do, yes. - You do?
Okay. - I teach.
- [Dan] Let's have a little golf competition.
You in for a shot? - Sure.
- This was like my best drive of the day.
It's in the fairway.
All right, whoever's this pointing at closer to,
this decides who goes first.
(light music) I'm up!
(club whooshes)
Oh, a little left.
(club whooshes)
Oh yeah.
Here we go.
(golf cart buzzes)
Let's just say this,
for our who can get closer after these two puts right here?
That way it's just one putt.
(club taps)
Get in.
(club taps)
Oh, in it! - Oh no.
- Oh!
I would say Jordan's line was way better.
I thought it was goin' in for a minute.
I haven't had a line that good all day.
- Yeah, man. - I think I might
have gotcha by a little bit, but to be fair,
you've never hit with that putter in your life.
Thanks for bringin' us the drinks.
- No problem, man. - We'll see you in
a few holes.
(light music)
Par.
That's a par, baby.
Par four, another short one, 324.
(club whooshes)
It feels so much cooler in these trees,
these giant trees.
(ground crunches)
Whoa.
Look at that.
It's like a big old dead bird.
Give you perspective,
look at it compared to my driver.
Death Valley. - Not even the
vultures survive. - Think it's a good
or a bad sign that we saw a dead bird on the hole
when I wanna get a birdie?
(Hunter laughs)
Woo, even talking, it's like have to pause for a minute
'cause I get out of breath,
and my heart beat's faster.
My heart's beatin' like crazy.
(club whooshes)
And you don't wanna do that.
Chunky, that's what most amateur golfers do
after you hit the drive of your life,
you do that.
I'm switching clubs.
(upbeat music)
So hard to trick you brain into hitting it that hard
down a hill on a dried up green.
(club whooshes)
I didn't hit the drone, but it went
seriously inches above it.
I hope that that drone shot got it.
(club whooshes)
Two putt par, I would take that.
(club taps)
Dirt.
(club taps)
(ball rattles)
Par.
Every par is three today.
It's been like 145 yards.
This is the first long par three.
It's about 190 yards.
The 10 looks like it's at the back.
(club whooshes)
At this point in the round,
if it's not out of bounds, I'm okay with it.
I've had two pars already on this back nine.
So if I get another bogey, that's okay.
(club whooshes)
Oh, it's gotta go.
I don't know about you, but the heat's gettin' to me.
- [Hunter] It's getting hotter!
(club taps)
Wow!
- Okay, I can get a bogey from there, I think.
(ball taps)
- [Hunter] Oh my gosh.
- I'm good at golf.
I can get a bogey from there, I think.
Did you see how that ball just hit the breaks?
Like it was going and then (grunts).
It just stopped, it wasn't like ooh.
Double bogey.
The 15th hole is a 297 yard,
very short par four.
I could hit a nice, easy 7-iron
right in the middle of the fairway,
get on the green in two,
or I can go risky.
It bends around these trees.
I could go risky and hit a driver,
and try to go for the green.
But if I miss too far left it's OB.
If I miss too far, right, it's OP.
What should I go for?
What club, driver, (bell dings)
or a 7-iron? (bell dings)
- Let's just drive it,
(bell dings) just send it.
Like, - Just send it.
- We gotta get a birdie,
and it's better go to down with the ship
then to not try at all.
- I've gotta get it over those trees.
(rock music)
Try it and make this chip in for birdie.
Birdie is happenin' today?
(rock music)
In the hole! - That looks good.
- Woo!
This one's for you, Hunter.
- [Hunter] It's for me?
Well you better make it then.
(intense music)
- That's for you, Hunter!
Yes!
Woo!
Who else gets that excited over par puts?
Well, when you're on the 15th hole
of the Furnace Creek Golf Club
on the hottest day on earth in the history,
well at least in the recorded history,
you get excited over a par put.
- [Hunter] You should dedicate more puts to me.
Apparently you make 'em.
(upbeat music)
(club whooshes)
- Even the wind feels crazy hot.
It's like an oven.
I would tell you how hot it is right now,
but my phone says it's overheating right now.
Can't even turn it on.
(club whooshes)
Oh yeah, come on, stop!
Birdie territory!
That is amazing par.
There we are, 122.
That's birdie weather right there.
That' not the birdie.
It was not the heat, I just pushed it.
(laughs)
That's a par, baby, another par.
I'll take it.
Never felt this heat before.
I lived in the Philippines, I was born there.
Lived there for many years and it's hot.
I sweat more in the Philippines or at least you feel like it
because of the humidity.
It's humid here, but nothin' like the Philippines.
But this definitely feels just hotter.
Two more holes to go.
One interesting thing is in the middle of this golf course
is a giant solar farm.
You can hear it humming.
When we started the day, it was turned this way,
and now it's like this.
We're comin' up on four hours out here.
Long round for one golfer.
Two more par fours.
This one's tricky.
I'm gonna do what I should've done a few holes,
the last few holes.
I'm getting hit a 4-iron and see what I can do here.
(light music)
Get over there, oh!
Oh.
I love holes like this that are a challenge,
that are unique.
This is one of my favorites.
There's a lot of holes here,
but some of the par fours, they feels kind of repetitive,
like it's the same hole back and forth.
I love when they do something like this,
like off the tee box, you've got a palm tree in your way.
In the fairway, they have these giant trees.
It just makes it more fun.
Even though it's a short par four,
that's what golf's all about, unique shots.
Hunter,
you know what this means?
- [Hunter] We're on hole 18, baby.
- We made it to the last hole.
If you've made it this long in the video,
thank you for watching.
I hope that it was enjoyable watching me suffer.
I like doin' things you can say you've done.
It's 125 right now.
We just waited probably five minutes
in between holes, just sitting on the cart,
just to let my heart hone down.
It's not like I'm workin' out hard,
it's just the heat and we've drank so much water today, so.
All we need is three more shots and we're done.
Three.
Or four, or five.
(upbeat pop music)
(record scratches) All right, look at this.
It's so hot out here.
Look what it did to my ball.
- No! - Yeah.
It exploded.
No, that's not my ball.
That would be cool, though.
(upbeat pop music)
(club whooshes)
- [Hunter] Well, it worked.
- Take a tip from me,
the guy that's like 15 over.
So far on the 18th hole, we've gone
4-iron,
3 wood, driver.
I don't know what you call this.
It's like the fairway, the fringe, in between.
(ball taps)
Oh, we got it.
The reason why I even found this course
was from Erik Anders Lang.
He's one of the best YouTubers out there,
and he's a golf YouTuber.
And he used to make videos for Scratch Golf,
for their YouTube channel.
He did an episode on Furnace Creek.
Now it was like 100 degrees when he was there.
It wasn't as hot, but I watched that,
and I instantly put it on my bucket list of places
that I wanna go an play two holes at.
Well, I'm one or two puts away from crossin' that
off my bucket list.
I know a lot of people that are real good golfers
are watchin' this video and goin',
"Who is this guy?
"He's not a great golfer."
But, guess what?
Golf is more than just your score.
You wanna have experiences when you're out there,
and see beautiful things,
have a few holes, like the par put that I made.
Like some of the shots and drives that I've hit.
Some of the beautiful holes here,
where I almost hit the drone with the golf ball.
There's big moments today
that have been super fun and memorable.
Yeah, I would've loved to have shot 72,
but here we are, I've got a putt here.
I'm happy, this has been fun.
I've survived so far.
My heart rate's still beating like crazy.
Hunter's still alive, we have a camera.
So that's all good.
(gentle music)
Still haven't figured out the greens after 18 holes.
Still let that way too short.
Two putt, we did it.
We did 18 holes at Furnace Creek.
125 degrees, one of the hottest days recorded
in the history of earth.
Yeah, I feel like my lung function is much lower.
My heart rate is just beating with just
a minimal amount of activity.
Golfing, being outside in this heat
really is a serious health risk.
So, please don't do what we're doing unless you
really are in good shape and you're willing to accept
the risks of this.
'Cause there are people that collapse from heat stroke,
people that die from being out in this heat.
It's, it is serious business.
As much as it is fun for us to golf in this.
So I shot a 86,
broke 90.
The par was 70 here.
That was fun, that was really fun.
(pop music)
It's 125 degrees now.
It's been a few hours since you saw me last.
I just attempted to play 18 holes of golf.
I'm strugglin.
Heat wave's a real thing, heat stroke.
The Tesla's been charging this whole time.
We're gonna let it charge a little bit more.
On this pavement, it feels like it's gotta be,
I don't know, I'm not a good gauge of temperatures,
but I feel like it's gotta be 130, 135.
It is so hot on this asphalt.
We're gonna go get some lunch and then we're going
to take this Tesla and test it out,
go to the national park and see
if we hit a temp, a high today.
It could be the hottest day ever,
in the history of the world.
130 degrees, 131 degrees.
And then, we have to drive all the way back to Las Vegas
on whatever charge we have.
It's an uphill drive.
I'm strugglin'.
We'll see how the Tesla does later.
(relaxing music)
For some reason, they sell jackets here.
That's cute.
That's just a big tease. (laughter)
