Video Summary — Black Desert Golf Trip ⛳️🏜️
Quick Overview
- Hosts play Black Desert golf course with guest Javi (COO of Panedico).
- Course praised for top-tier, brand-new facilities and atmosphere — likely to become a premier golf destination as more courses/amenities open.
- Casual, conversational playthrough with commentary on shots, course features, food, and business topics.
Key Moments & Flow
- Practice facility: Extremely impressive; hosts tempted to hit balls at night.
- Hole 1: Miscommunication on par (thought par 5, actually par 4). Mixed drives; par/bogey.
- Early holes: Multiple shots hit rocks/lava areas → drops required. Wind and blind shots create challenges. Short-game flop shots and bunker saves highlighted.
- Front nine impressions: Beautiful but difficult layout; great facilities. Some good recovery shots, a birdie and pars mixed with mistakes.
- Mid-round: Discussion about course houses, construction, and potential luxurious features (tennis courts, bulletproof windows joked about).
- Halfway house / food: Rated highly (8.5–9). Menu highlights: tacos (carne asada, chorizo, quesabirria), chips & guac, Mexican corn, churros, Dole Whip, Monster Tea. Compared favorably to other courses’ halfway houses (Pine’s Valley, Streamsong, Pebble Beach criticized). 🍴🌮🍦
- Back nine: Continued mix of solid short game and errant drives. Hosts comment on difficulty of blind holes and the need to “be an athlete” / mental game.
- Hole features: Unique elements noted — bunker in middle of a green, steep breaks, blind tee shots, water carries, lava-rock hazards.
- Facilities beyond golf: Pickleball center (pro-level), pool, clubhouse, gift shop; plans for 3 new courses possibly starting construction simultaneously. 🏊♂️🎾
- Final thoughts: Black Desert is already excellent and poised to rank among top golf destinations once expanded. Hosts plan yearly return and invite viewers to join M19 trips.
Instructional / Practical Takeaways (If Playing Black Desert)
- Club/Shot Selection
- Expect blind tee shots and elevation—take account of elevation and wind (often into/uphill).
- Avoid aggressive lines that steer toward visible lava/rock hazards; favor safer middle/right lines where marked.
- Use punch/low shots where wind is strong; rely on wedges/flop shots for tricky greens with steep runouts.
- Course Strategy
- Play conservatively off the tee if visibility is poor; hitting “in play” is better than risking hazards.
- Approach greens mindful of heavy breaks and hidden bunkers (bunker may be in middle of green).
- Use bail-out areas (right/left depending on hole) when wind pushes ball.
- Mental Game
- Stay patient; course is character-building—focus on one shot at a time.
- Short game and bunker play are crucial — practice high flop shots and tight bunker nippers.
- Amenities/Logistics
- Halfway house has strong food options—plan breaks around it (tacos, Dole Whip).
- Facilities include excellent practice areas and off-course amenities (pickleball, pool).
- Course may expand—expect evolving routing and new holes in future visits.
