This weekend, Trent decided to take on a unique challenge at the Grayhawk Raptor Course: the second hole, a 380-yard par 4, using only a 7-iron. This whole adventure was brought to you by Chevrolet and their new Equinox EV.
The One Club Challenge Begins
Trent stood on the tee box of the second hole at Grayhawk Raptor, a 380-yard par 4. The plan? Use only a 7-iron for the entire hole. He was hoping for a bogey, which would be a decent score given the circumstances. This challenge was sponsored by Chevrolet, highlighting their Equinox EV, an electric vehicle with a big touchscreen and plenty of cargo space. You can check it out at chevy.com/equinoxev.
Key Takeaways
- The Challenge: Play a 380-yard par 4 with only a 7-iron.
- The Goal: Aim for a bogey.
- The Sponsor: Chevrolet and the Equinox EV.
The First Shot
With a long way to go, Trent took his first swing. There was a bit of mud on the ball, which didn't help. The result was a "worm burner," not ideal for gaining distance. He estimated he had about 150 to 155 yards left, which is usually a good distance for his 7-iron.
Trent mentioned he might sound winded because it was cart path only, and he'd been running back and forth. He took another swing, and thankfully, the ball avoided the bunker, though it was a close call. He was having trouble getting the 7-iron up in the air, which wasn't great, but he managed to stay out of the sand trap.
The Chip Shot and The Putt
Now, Trent was faced with a chip shot using the same 7-iron. He wasn't sure if he had the skill to pull it off, but he was going to try. The chip shot itself was, in his words, "horrific." He thought it was heading for the bunker again, which would have been a disaster. He really needed to make this putt to save his bogey score.
After a few more attempts to get the ball to stop, he finally got it onto the green. He was putting for a double bogey, which would make his score an eight on the hole. It was a tough hole, and the one-club challenge with just a 7-iron proved to be quite difficult. He reminded viewers to check out the Equinox EV at chevy.com/equinoxev.
