Achieving a score under 60 in golf—averaging less than 3.3 strokes per hole—is one of the rarest feats in the sport, often considered the holy grail of scoring. To attempt this feat on a championship course, and alongside one of golf’s biggest YouTube stars, is the ultimate high-stakes challenge.
Our featured video, “Can Rick Shiels And I Break 60 At Trump International?”, documents this intense effort. Pitting the consistent, analytical game of Rick Shiels against a determined challenger, the match tests the limits of perfect execution and aggressive scoring.
The Course: Trump International
Trump International Golf Club is known for its luxurious conditions and challenging, often dramatic, layouts. Playing here under the pressure of a Sub-60 challenge requires:
-
Flawless Execution: Every shot, from the long driver swing to the precise short game, must be executed perfectly. There is zero margin for error.
-
Aggressive Strategy: The team cannot simply play for par. They must attack almost every pin and convert nearly every birdie opportunity, requiring a mentality similar to the goal of RUNNING DEEP in Tournaments.
-
Mental Toughness: The difficulty of maintaining focus and a smooth tempo throughout the round is immense. Even small flaws, such as rushing your downswing, can cost a stroke and shatter the sub-60 goal.
The Path to Sub-60: Perfect Scramble Golf
To Break 60, the team must be playing a Scramble format, where they select the best shot after every strike. Even in a Scramble, achieving a score this low requires:
-
Driver Mastery: One player must consistently hit long, accurate drives to set up easy approach shots.
-
Iron Precision: The approach shots must be within makable birdie range, demanding pure ball striking and perfect distance control.
-
Putting Excellence: They must sink almost every putt inside 15 feet, highlighting the importance of dedicated Putting Drills to Practice.
