(upbeat music)
- [Dan] Quarantine and the coronavirus
hasn't been the most fun thing,
but if there's one silver lining
it's that in our city,
the golf courses have been open the entire time.
- Yeah, they have not closed.
- So we've been able to golf the entire time.
And now it's junior golf season,
and Lincoln's done how many tournaments now?
- Probably, like, 10.
- 10 golf tournaments.
So, he's already played for 10 golf tournaments
and we thought that it would be a good time
to do what's inside Lincoln's golf bag.
And while we're at it,
we'll show you what's inside of our bags also.
Lincoln, do you wanna show 'em your golf bag?
- Okay.
- Okay, here comes Lincoln's golf bag.
What's inside of it.
(upbeat music)
- So, this is my golf bag.
I really like this one because
it's really good for carrying
'cause there's lots of padding and stuff.
And it's a really light bag,
so it can fit a lot in it.
Do you guys like my name?
LM engraved on it.
Which is pretty cool.
These are my clubs right here.
So this is my driver,
got nice li'l Royal Melbourne head cover
we got when we went there.
So I use a Titleist TS2
with 9.5 degree loft.
The shaft on my driver is stiff
and it is 55 grams.
Yeah, so that is my driver.
Lately I've just been hitting 3-wood
and my 3-iron hybrid off the tee.
Here's another cool head cover.
Torrey Pines,
we went there for the Farmers Insurance Pro-AM.
I got this head cover.
- [Announcer] And the champions of the North course,
the Jason Kokrak.
(crowd cheers)
- [Lincoln] This is a TS2 15 degree 3-Wood.
- [Dan] And to Lincoln's credit,
he's been hitting this thing
a lot of times further than the other kids
that are hitting drivers.
- Which is pretty cool.
- [Dan] And it's getting you in the fairway.
- Yeah, my driver is actually going about 230 right now
because it's such a big slice.
And this is going about 230 to 240,
which, I mean, if I'm hitting the fairway,
9 out of 10 times, can't complain much about that.
So in the tournaments, if it's like a more wide open court
I do hit the 3-wood.
But if not, I hit my 3-iron hybrid.
Very consistent, 19 degree.
TS2, also.
My 4-iron hybrid, this one I don't hit that much.
My 3-iron hybrid that goes about 320.
This one goes about, I mean-- 320, ha.
My 3-iron hybrid goes about 220,
this club goes about 200 to 210 if I hit it good.
- [Dan] Man, that thing is worn down.
You've used that so much.
- I hit one shot on the rocks with it once.
- [Dan] Oh geez.
- And I hit it and it did like half of this damage.
I hit it so good, and then I looked back at my club,
tried to put the head cover back on,
I was like... oh my gosh.
So for the irons, I have P790s.
TaylorMade.
They're like in between a blade and a regular club,
which I really like.
I really hit these good, and I love my irons.
- [Dan] These are some really popular clubs from last year.
And they kind of do look like blades,
except they do have the bump on there,
and I guess it's foam injected,
so there's some kind of foam inside of it?
- [Lincoln] Pretty fancy.
- [Dan] And it just makes them hit really nice.
- [Lincoln] Yeah, look how dirty it is.
- [Dan] Lincoln, so far how do you feel
about the gold tournaments you've been in?
- Of course it's golf, could've been better
with every one of them.
But okay, pretty good.
- [Dan] Do you think the Trackman has helped you?
- Yes, yes it really has.
It's like knowing my yardages.
Just coming in here and swinging,
especially at night, you know.
- [Dan] After you swing a club,
and you hit a ball well, do you look like that?
- No, I wish.
(laughs)
- [Dan] Work on that, right there.
- So I have P790s from my gap wedge to my 5-iron.
So 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, gap wedge, pitching wedge.
They all are P790s.
And for my wedges I have Cleveland RTX 4s,
so I have a 60 degree lob wedge
and 56 degree sand wedge.
I just barely got this Spider TaylorMade putter.
It looks so good, I love the look of the Spider.
Spider X.
I really like with this putter,
how it has a really long line on top of it.
It really helps you align your ball
with the lining of your putts.
I have a SuperStroke grip on this putter.
I've never really had a bigger grip on my putter.
So I just barely got this putter,
and I've been really testing it out,
just switching out in between.
Some tournaments I played with this,
and this is the putter that I had for,
I think seven years now.
So I really love this putter,
this is a Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2.
I really like the feel of this Scotty,
it really just pushes the ball forward.
'Cause it's so heavy it really connects with the ball well.
- [Dan] How's your putting game been
in the last few tournaments?
- Last few tournaments it's been a little bit rough.
It's been getting a lot better.
So that's another thing that I've been working on.
My driver and my putting
is probably my two worst things right now
that I've really been practicing.
- Because he's hitting a 3-iron hybrid
and his 3-wood so incredibly well,
he's getting into the fairway almost every time
where some people are getting more distance on him,
but he's so consistent in the fairway,
and he's doing a decent job of getting on the green,
but his putting has been the challenge,
so that's why he's been switching back-and-forth.
Trying to figure out which putter's gonna work for him.
And then once he figures it out,
he's gonna stick with that one,
and really practice, practice, practice
because if you eliminated even half of the three-putts,
and even a couple of four-putts,
he would be scoring so much lower in his tournaments.
- You don't need to say four-putts.
- I don't need to say the four-putts,
let's pretend like those don't even exist.
- One tournament.
- There's just one tournament,
he had two of them in a nine-hole stretch,
and it was like oh no.
And he only shot 13-over for the tournament,
and he had 42 putts.
So the putting is something he's working on.
- That's not good, that's not what you want.
- No, it's not what you want.
- 42 putts in 18 holes?
That's terrible. - [Dan] Yep, yep.
I really like your bag, it's just clean,
it's that white fake leather stuff,
so it's waterproof, keeps everything dry inside of there.
So now let's see what's really inside of your bag.
- All right, so we'll start off with
the type of golf ball that I use.
I use TaylorMade Pix TP5.
And I draw a little blue line on my balls.
I like this ball because it's really good for putting.
- Most golf balls have a little line on the top of it,
like pretty much all of them do.
But what makes this one really cool,
is that with these orange lines,
once you line it up and then you hit your putt,
if you really hit it solid,
you should see two orange lines
going as the ball's rolling toward the hole.
And it just shows that you really hit it right.
If you open your face
or you came across it or something,
you're not gonna see that perfect roll,
and it kinda gives you an indicator
like okay, I'm not hitting my putts
directly along the line that I wanted.
A lot of people use the Titleist Pro V1s,
that's what this ball is similar to.
It spins really, really well on the greens,
you can hit it far,
you have a lot of control with it,
where they also have the TP5X?
- Yes.
- And that ball is like the Pro V1 X.
So a lot of people stick with the Pro V1s,
and they're like, 'These are the greatest balls.'
Because everybody on tour uses them.
Well, not everybody uses them.
The TaylorMade TP5s are really good golf balls.
I use the TP5s without these little triangles on them,
without the Rickie Fowler,
I don't use the Pix, 'P-I-X' balls.
- Yeah.
- Lincoln uses the Pix, but we both use the same ball.
And it's really cool during his golf tournaments
because almost nobody has his kind of golf ball.
- And even if they do, they won't have a blue line on it,
and it's so nice for identifying your ball
because lots of people, TaylorMade or Titleist balls,
and say it's turned upside-down, you can't see what it is.
- [Dan] It's just a white ball.
- Yeah.
- He just walks up to his ball,
and he knows, like oh, there's the orange pizza ball.
- [Lincoln] Or if I hit it inside the water,
I'm like, there's my ball, that's how close it was.
So this is inside my other pocket.
There's a glove inside of it.
Here's my golf coach today, he said,
if your gloves are getting worn out really fast,
put it inside of a ziploc bag,
'cause then it keeps the moisture inside.
This is my ball marker bag.
I always make sure that I have ball markers in a tournament.
- [Dan] Hold on a second, pour some of these out
on the table, I wanna see these.
- [Lincoln] All right, so those are my ball markers
right there, got some pretty random ones.
This is from the Hoover Dam.
I found it inside my room, and I'm like,
that would be a great ball marker.
- [Dan] That's when we went to the Hoover Dam
and did that video.
- Yeah.
This is my golf course I usually play at a lot.
SunRiver Golf Club.
I didn't have a ball marker one day,
and I was like, I need to go buy one.
Just got this little hat clip too.
Hat clips are very nice.
Lots of quarters and dimes, pennies.
This one, Linksoul, this is a very fancy ball marker.
Someone inside the Pro-AM gave it to me
because I didn't have a ball marker.
- [Dan] And you just kept it?
- Yeah he said 'you can have it,'
and I was like 'sweet, thanks.'
- The cool thing is Linksoul,
this is that hat that I have on right now,
and I bought this because I didn't Linksoul was a brand.
But it says, Make Par Not War.
But the that I had took it as,
'Make Par Link.'
So whenever you're in a golf tournament,
you can't really talk to the kids and be a caddy.
But if he gets a bogie, or if he hits a good shot,
I can be like, 'Make Par Link,'
I can just point to my hat, 'Make Par Link.'
- This one's really funny, this is the Alamo,
and on the back it says 'Remember the Alamo.'
Why not?
- Okay, lemme explain on that one.
Remember the Alamo, that is my ball marker
that I used for the Pro-AM
back when I played with Harris English.
So, like, right here, Harris English.
It was funny because Harris English,
it was like the 6th hole,
he walks up and looks at my ball marker,
and it just had the Alamo at the top,
and he kinda like leans down and goes,
'Is that the Alamo?'
And I'm like, 'Yes, it is.'
Which I thought was hilarious, 'cause it's like so random
that he looks down, he recognized the Alamo,
and then he said it to me.
So anyway, I got it when I went to a BYU versus Texas game.
And we stopped at the Alamo, and my friend gave this.
So that's why I have it.
I thought it'd be funny at that point.
So anyway I'll never forget that,
Harris English hadn't said much so far in the round,
but then he looks at my ball marker and says,
'Is that the Alamo?'
- So I use the Titleist glove.
The leather's really nice on this,
I really like how it feels,
especially when you open up a new one
after using a really old one.
It feels so good.
All right, so this is my rangefinder that I use.
Works great.
You're not allowed to use rangefinders
that have slope, so it has slope inside of it,
so you can laser up up the hill.
And say it's 130 yards not counting the uphill,
but it's 140 counting the uphill.
You're not allowed to use the uphill.
And then I just have a little club cleaner in my bag also.
- [Dan] That thing is never used, but you've got it.
- What do you mean it's never used?
I've used it like five times,
I've had it for like, three weeks.
(Dan laughs)
- [Dan] So there you go, there's Lincoln's bag.
When you're in a tournament,
do you carry it on your back or do you put it on a pushcart?
- There are some local tournaments
that are like 9 holes, and I do prefer to carry it
on my bag-- on my back,
but in 18-hole, two or three day tournaments,
definitely want a pushcart.
- Lemme tell you a little about my golf bags.
This is my golf bag I've been using lately.
It is an M&M tour player's bag.
This is not something that you would wanna take
and carry or put on your back.
- [Lincoln] There isn't even any strap on it.
- It is so incredibly heavy.
But when you're putting it on the back of a golf cart,
it looks amazing, and everybody sees your cart,
and they're like, 'M&Ms!'
- [Lincoln] He gets so many comments.
- It is so cool.
As far as driver goes, I've got the same driver as Lincoln.
The TS2, and it's pretty good.
Stiff shaft, something, even flow.
I did get a new driver recently
that I've been hitting a little bit.
I do have two drivers that I've been trying out.
And that we leave in the golf simulator
for when people come.
The Sim and the Sim Max, TaylorMade.
I think I like the Sim a little bit more,
I don't know why, it just seems to hit better.
This driver is longer than my Titleist one.
So I'm still more comfortable with this
when I'm hitting it straight more often,
but these are some nice drivers too.
This is the same driver
that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy uses
along with other TaylorMade players,
so I'm like, 'good enough for Tiger,
it's gotta be good enough for me.'
I also use TaylorMade clubs,
it's called M6, I just got 'em last year.
I've always used TaylorMade irons.
2006 I just got out of college,
I got my first ever pair of clubs,
and they were TaylorMade, and then last year
this is my upgrade, the M6 TaylorMade irons.
They're a lot more forgiving
than some blade clubs,
'cause I'm not the greatest golfer ever.
For a 3-wood, I've always had this one,
which is Rocketballz.
And I just upgraded to the Sim Max, it's a Sim Max 3-wood,
this thing absolutely demolishes it.
- [Lincoln] Yeah, you hit that one so good.
- I hit this so far and so straight.
It's a 15 degree 3-wood, it's money.
This is my favorite club in the bag probably,
I'd say right now.
For putters, I have this White Ice Odyssey.
You really can't find these any places,
but I've been using it for years,
and it works really, really well.
I did recently also get the TaylorMade Spider,
and I've been trying that one.
But I'm definitely more comfortable
with the one that I've had in my bag forever,
so I'm still trying to get used to using
the newer, fancier putter.
But I love this thing.
This is the golf ball that I'm using,
it's a TaylorMade TP5.
It's similar to what Lincoln uses,
he uses the TP5, and his are called the Pix
with the orange pizza thing on it.
These ones are cool
because they say what's inside on them.
Here's the deal with the TP5.
We have a ton of them.
I actually have eight different dozen,
eight dozen, whatever that is.
I'm gonna give this away.
- [Lincoln] Woo!
- I'm giving away--
If you wanna know what's inside, TaylorMade TP5 golf ball,
one of the ones that we have here.
We'll put a link in the description.
We'll have it on there,
and you can win some of these golf balls.
So if you want some golf balls,
we'll put a link in the description.
We also do have the Pepsi bag
that's just for inside of here the actual golf room.
- [Lincoln] It's really nice--
Can you explain how it's really nice having a tour bag?
- The reason why we have these tour bags,
these are the bigger ones,
is because when you're in the golf studio,
this bag right here sits right there.
This one has a bunch of random clubs
like this wobbly stick thing-y,
some training tools, some drivers,
Lincoln's old Titleist driver.
Basically clubs for guests when they come or training tools.
And it makes it a lot easier,
it takes up way less space
when you can set it up tall like this.
And it's bigger on the inside,
so that's originally why I even got this one.
So I could just set it off to the side in here,
and it wouldn't take up space in the simulator.
The problem is I like having my clubs in there,
so whenever we go golfing I just take it with me.
I throw it on the back of the cart if we've got it.
But the Pepsi bag, the M&M bag,
we just bought these and we have 'em here at the place.
- [Dan] All right, so there's Lincoln's bag,
there's my bag,
there's a bunch of golf balls we're giving away.
Lincoln, what's your goal this summer for golf?
- To make the high school team,
and play in half of the tournaments,
so take the top six spots in the high school team.
That's the goal.
- [Dan] Oh, that's a big goal.
That would be awesome.
What's inside of Lincoln's golf bag, there it is.
You also saw a bonus of what's inside of my golf bag,
and we've got TaylorMade golf balls.
If you'd like them, the link is in the description.
I hope that you're out golfing,
and you're having fun,
let us know in the comments, if you golf.
Lincoln is playing way better than last summer.
And I'm going to film some of his golf tournaments
and put 'em on like I did last year.
- If you guys wanted it.
- If you wanna see it, let us know in the comments.
But I'd wanna film some of them.
I just haven't wanted to do it
for some of the first three weeks
because I know he's just getting into it,
I don't want him to have additional pressure.
But it's time, it's time.
I'm just gonna film some of his rounds
and post them on here.
For those of you that want us to create
a separate golf channel, sorry we're not gonna do that.
This is our channel, family channel,
we post a lot of family stuff on here.
But, um, happy golf season.
There is the golf bag.
Goodbye. - Goodbye.
