Okay, welcome back to theCUBE stage here in Cloud City, Telco DR, Telco Digital Revolution. We had a chance to talk to Rob Haberman, CTO of Nokia Software. Great interview as part of our hybrid program here, but we're still on the floor on site. Let's go listen to my great interview with Ron and what he had to say about the power of the cloud. And welcome to theCUBE's coverage of Mobile World Congress 2021. It's an in-person and hybrid event. And we're here in Palo Alto with a remote interview as part of the hybrid, getting as much content as possible. Is a great guest, Ron Haberman, who's the CTO of Nokia Cloud Network Services, known as CNS. Ron's an expert, he's going to come in and share with us his vision and his commentary on openness in the cloud, Telco cloud, the changes at the edge, so much going on, so much innovation that's changing the game that's going to impact lives and society. Ron, thank you for coming on theCUBE for this Mobile World Congress special segment. Thank you, Cloud, to be here. So the transformation in the cloud is so amazing with 5G. You got cloud native developers, you got enterprises changing their architectures and cloud service probably going to the next level. 5G certainly is a great edge, but the strength of the cloud combined with the new modern applications really is going to be the power. And you start to see people starting to think differently around how developers are building apps and how companies are working together. It's not just one company ruling the world anymore, it's a lot of interoperability, interconnections, a lot of API is openness, kind of sounds like a network, it sounds like a network effect. This is a big deal. What's your take on this whole shift as 5G gets enabling a fast edge and cloud native at go hand in hand? What's your take? Yeah, I think 5G and the transformation to cloud native generically speaking go very nicely hand in hand. It's important to understand that 5G is not just another G really because it's more intended for consumption by businesses and not just consumer. And what it means is that it would have a vast impact on how development is done, how the deployment is done and the type of features that would be required from the network. So when we went on our path to start developing for cloud native, primarily for 5G, it went beyond just being cloud ready. And we started looking at how do we expand the operability with the ecosystems? How do we go into topics such as continuous delivery? How do we create collaboration between CSPs and cloud providers such that we can provide the advancements? Now there are quite a few sub topics in the transformation. For example, it might be obvious but without automation, there's really no ability to create a cloud native delivery process. If you're on the cloud, you're creating speed and ability to innovate as well as access but you also are now required to create a better security system and ways to tie things back together. The multi-vendor environment and the path that it would enable to move to and as a service model is again a topic that can really be established as part of this transition to cloud native and had been greatly in focus for us. And finally, that there is a bit of a balancing act in some of the use cases. In how do we use new technologies such as machine learning in creating new use cases? For Nokia is a supplier of both the network functions which are now getting distributed into public cloud, in the private cloud and on the edges as well as control systems of different types, OSS, VSS, including charging, enablement of IoT, et cetera. It's really about how do we bring these things together in a way that creates use cases that the service providers can position especially in their now quest to go after B2B in leveraging their network. Yeah, and you guys bring huge strength there on the Nokia side. I want to ask you specifically as CSPs are collaborating with you guys to leverage that strength of cloud native and open. The question comes up is how fast can they get to a modern agile open infrastructure and how fast can they enable value? And that's where the whole, this whole interoperability thing or this interplay between cloud native and innovation comes together. Can you take us through how you see that, how cloud service providers are approaching cloud native today because that's really kind of where the focus is. How do I get the operating value, okay, with the speed and agility of development and obviously built in all the security and everything else. That seems to be the disruptor and then face it. It's been a slow world in the telco place. So cloud has been a speed game with value but it's an operator game too. What's your thoughts? That's right. And I'll take you maybe just a little bit into the history of this transition because only just a few years ago, most networks were really built purely with what we're now referring to as PMS, physical network functions, really equipment that was installed in certain pop locations and created the network. We started this transition to virtualization in the world of VNFs and then cloud ready and now cloud native. And it's been a few years for these things to come together. And maybe the most important thing that we must get right is that as we disaggregate and in a way complicate the deployment if you would by a few factors, we want to give the tools to indeed go fast because the name of the game in moving to cloud native is to speed up innovation. So what we've been doing in collaboration now with Google is on the one hand, we need to make sure that all of the network functions, the operating models work in a disaggregated cloud. They can go all the way from a private data center through the edge into the central data center. Then on the Nokia side, we have to bring the capabilities to tie networks together, be able to migrate workloads between the locations. It may be most importantly, as we release new versions of our software, as we enable new capabilities, we want to put it in the hands of the service providers and in turn, the developers right away. So we need to enable true continuous delivery in the sense that it's very familiar in the cloud world, but quite new to, you know, to telco. Go ahead, sorry to interrupt, continue. Maybe just to give a very practical example of a customer that we share in Europe, Telnet, which is starting with an on-premise, Anthos-based type of deployment, but keeping an eye on, you know, moving to the edge and into the broader cloud, really enabling themselves to be in a multi-region and with true in-Nordbound open interfaces for new use cases to be implemented. Yeah, Ron, I want to get your thoughts on this. Dave Vellante, my co-host and I have been, we're talking just in an earlier segment around how major inflection points have some characteristics. They all kind of have characters in common. Usually it's proprietary to open shifts happen. And one in point we were looking at was like the 90s, right, the late 80s, early 90s, when you had proprietary networking protocol stacks. And then OSI stack came out, obviously we know what happened from there. TCPIP created the best, biggest wave of innovation in the computer history we've seen. Similar things kind of happen here. You know, I won't say proprietary per se, but there are 5G and telco stuff that's kind of like operator-centric legacy. You start to see this openness kind of come back, and I'm not going to say a full stack, but new kinds of disruption. And 5G is opening up the door because it's not just consumer technology. A lot of people like the CEO of Intel saying, this is a business technology, commercial technology more than consumer because of the characteristics. And you combine that with cloud native and say openness with scale, with cloud service, as you mentioned Google, it's a public cloud, you know? And so public cloud is going to be a disruption but because it brings scale. So it reminds me of this inflection point where you have this new shift and you mentioned networks. These networks are connecting. So you got a public cloud and Google's known for their networks and their cloud is being highly scalable and secure. But they're not the only network in town. You got a 5G and you got back all, you got all kinds of new heterogeneous environments. What's your comment on that? Because this is what people are talking about. Where's the shift going to go? What wave is this? What's this going to look like? Is this a true disruption or is it more than the same? What's your thoughts? I think it's a true disruption. One of the biggest parts of 5G that would enable these new use cases is slicing.  It's really the ability to create some kind of a piece of the network that is shared between partners for a particular purpose with a particular SLA that contains bandwidth in licensing requirements, locations, et cetera, et cetera. Now, the ultimate goal is for an enterprise to be able to interface with the public cloud and with their operator and consume resources completely dynamically. Now, you talk about Google and public cloud and obviously anybody that use GCP knows that at any point in time, you can go into a region, you can reserve what you need, use what you need, create result and then either keep it, move away, open new locations, et cetera, et cetera. One thing is missing. The connectivity over the mobile area interface to your user and slicing allows us to combine the power of the true cloud with the ability to dynamically and programmatically create a slice for a particular purpose. And for us, the ultimate goal is that really, networks would become programmable and a developer or their user would be able to interface with a system and literally create network in code. Now, there's going to be quite a lot of building blocks required to reach that goal given that today most of it is static, but it starts with at least being able to orchestrate resources out of the network, tie them into termination point that by themselves are nets that are cloud-nated and potentially even running in the true public cloud and then attach them into a use case. Now, you also mentioned openness and Nokia had been on this open path for quite some time in creating choice for our customers. But now with the Google coming in with GCP, for example, the interface that we create with technology such as Apigee enable openness not just for our customer being the CSP but also for the developer to come in from the outside and reside within the ecosystem that they chose and still be able to consume and even create services dynamically and we enable it with products that interface with that on the other side, which we can get in. Yeah, what's interesting, what you're saying is as interesting, I'll just call it out because I think it's important. We hear this all the time is that with the edge and the devices, people are managing an end-to-end workflow from an application standpoint. But that's very difficult when you don't have networks that are being managed as a heterogeneous environment. So that's a key point you made. So the question I have for you is, how can operators best manage this wave? Because this is the holy grail you're talking about here. We're talking about end-to-end visibility into the workflow as a developer, but the shift left security being built in. No one's debating that, everyone knows that, right? So there's an operator, I don't know why. What's the built, how do I, how do I'm starting today operate and manage through this? Because I got to operate a large network. It's almost like swapping the engine out at 30,000 feet in the airplane. So how should operators think about taking this step? So the first thing to do is to really just accept the fact that there is going to be true legacy and there are plenty of 3G networks today still operating around the world. There's going to be, to what is now starting to look like semi-legacy. So VNFs that have only been delivered to two networks maybe in the past couple of years and will carry 4G traffic and will stay in production for quite some time and manage this transition between VNFs, VNs running VNFs, VNs running containerized workloads and true cloud native, which may be their metal. And as we're working with Google on Anthos it literally enables this transition by creating a position for us to put the workload in each step of the path as well as in multiple locations around the network. And what Nokia brings into this equation is also a unified view for the operator. So if you're an operator that today runs on VNs, on-prem, you have some workflows defined and you've been running them in a certain way. We want to keep that view as similar as possible with the tooling that you were able to use over the past few years, but create extensions that connects us into a containerized workflow and then a true cloudified workflow out of the same environment. And this is actually in part what we've been collaborating about with some CSPs as well as with Google on Enable. Ron Heyberman, CTO, Nokia Cloud Network Services Group. Thank you so much for that insight, great commentary. Thank you for sharing your perspective on the future of Telco, Telco Cloud, Telco Edge, unifying those networks end-to-end. Great stuff. Thank you for coming on theCUBE. Thank you. Okay, this is CUBE's coverage of Mobile World Congress 2021. We're in person and we're virtual. It's a hybrid event. Thanks for watching. John, clearly the power of the public cloud in that interview, great job by the way. It was great to get Nokia in there. You can hear the operator impact and that's awesome, more to come. So back to the studio, Adam and the team back at the studio.


Germany admits fears of Ukraine potentially firing Taurus missiles at Moscow. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has reiterated his disapproval of donating Taurus missiles to Ukraine. The head of the German government spoke during the so-called Public Dialogue in Dresden. This time Scholz's argument to back his stance was the idea that the German-made missiles could potentially be launched at targets in Russia's capital, Moscow. A Taurus with the 500 km range may hit some specific target in Moscow if used incorrectly. The politician said Scholz added, With all diplomatic abstractness, others also took care of being aware of exactly where weapons landed. In Germany's case, it would imply involving German missile programming experts to make sure that missiles don't fly toward the wrong targets. Scholz claimed. Earlier, the German Chancellor has repeatedly stated that German missiles are a much more complex system than British and French ones. I believe it would be impossible from the very beginning. I clearly said there will be no German NATO soldiers in Ukraine and my position remains unwavering. The head of government emphasized, Scholz stressed that NATO and individual allies must not become a party to the conflict. We will prevent escalation. The war between Russia and NATO, the politician emphasized. He also admitted he was annoyed by criticism of him refusing to donate Taurus missiles to Ukraine as many forget that Germany has been sending much more than others, that it is currently the second largest arms supplier for Ukraine and if the US Congress fails to allocate more money, Germany will champion the list. The Chancellor has listed numerous weapons systems Germany has sent among other partners including tanks, MLR systems, air defense capabilities and more. Production of zinc coffins increased dramatically in Russia. They are sent to Ukraine for soldiers. An increase in the production of zinc coffins for Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine has suddenly become a cause for pride in Russia. Ukrainian journalist Yuri Butosov wrote on Telegram. He shared a screenshot of the Tambov Metal Service Plant Management's post on the Russian online social media and social networking service V-Contact. Friends, we have great news, the post read. Metal service is expanding its product range and is now proud to present zinc coffins. Zinc coffins are not just a product, they are a symbol of care and respect for those who served and sacrificed their lives for our country. Earlier, a new dress by Spanish designer Belenciaga was causing a stir on social media thanks to its uncanny resemblance to a sleek black plastic bag used to transport dead Russian soldiers. Belenciaga shared a photo of this unique outfit on their Instagram on December 16th with a price tag of around $6,500. The BBC, Russian Service and News outlet Media Zona have confirmed the identity of around 45,000 Russian soldiers who died in Ukraine since the invasion began in February 2022. The issue of military casualties is extremely sensitive in both countries. Russia has banned criticism of the conflict and no official figures have been released since 2022. The BBC, together with Media Zona and the team of volunteers managed to establish the names of 45,123 Russian militaries who died in the war in Ukraine since February 2022, the report said. It only included the names of soldiers publicly identified in open source data, mainly obituaries and warned the real toll may be twice as high. Two-thirds of the dead we have identified had no links to the army prior to the invasion. Volunteers mobilized prisoners and private company recruits. The BBC's Russian language service said, Transnistria and Moldova, Russia's new front of escalation in Europe. The United States of America supports the sovereignty of Moldova and closely monitors the developments surrounding the so-called Transnistria, says US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller. Miller was asked to comment on appeal of Transnistria to Russia with a request for protection from Moldova. The speaker noted that the US is monitoring the actions of Russia and Transnistria as Moscow plays an increasingly aggressive and destabilizing role in Europe. The United States firmly supports Moldova's sovereignty and territory within internationally recognized borders, he added. Earlier, the media reported that the deputies of Transnistria were to ask the Russian President Vladimir Putin to join the Russian Federation at the Congress. However, this never happened. The so-called Pridnestrovian-Moldavian Republic simply called on Russia to protect them from Moldova. In particular, they addressed the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the European Parliament, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, urging them to influence the leadership of Moldova to return to adequate dialogue and cease violations of the rights and freedoms of the residents of Transnistria. Andrey Yusov, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, said in a comment to RBC Ukraine that such a result is a failure for Russia. The representative of the Military Intelligence notes that the active disinformation campaign regarding Transnistria's plans to ask Vladimir Putin for a session to the Russian Federation indicates that an interested party was involved. When we talk about Moldova and Ukraine, it is clear who this party is. Yusov Al.


Hi, I'm Steve Bell and I moderated the panel on telecom innovation, pivoting and going over the edge. The highlight of the session was the conclusion in the room that there was no innovation in telecom. There were only two hands out of the room that went up. But the most fundamental aspects that we talked about were in terms of the language that's used to describe innovation. And there's huge opportunity within the industry, but at this point in time there doesn't appear to be the will or the capability to actually translate that idea into something which is usable. There was mention of incubation, there was mention of funding, but at the end of the day it's really rethinking the business model. And one of the opportunities that came up was to take an old phrase that was very negative, which was the walled garden. And instead of being about holding customers in, utilizing it as a mechanism for protecting customers from cyber security and privacy attacks.


What is your take, Heyman? Well, Rebecca, the United States has demanded a re-evaluation or review of the developing country status for India and China, amongst several other countries, at the World Trade Organization. The US claims that, in spite of having advanced rapidly on economic and social rankings, several member nations including China and India are still enjoying special and preferential trade treatment by self-designating themselves as developing nations. India has though contested those claims by counter arguments to the effect that its low per capita income and poor human development index were key indicators of its developing status. I personally feel that US objections definitely hold merit in so far as rich countries are concerned like Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Qatar. That's fair. But so far as India is concerned, you can't put them in the same box with those countries who are rich and still enjoying their privileges. Absolutely, Rebecca, quoting from the World Bank figures, the per capita national income in India was US$1,800 whereas between China, South Korea and Singapore, their per capita national income was in the range between approximately US$9,000 to US$55,000 that's a wide gap in comparison to India. And further in terms of human development index, India ranked at 103 while China, South Korea, Singapore and the US are ranking at 86, 22, 9 and 13 respectively. And there are further statistics available which definitely go to prove India's strong case as a developing nation. Hey man, I guess what you said did make sense. Thank you. Thank you.


With deep appreciation and sincere humility, I accept Purdue University's Distinguished Engineer Award. I am proud of the impact that Purdue has had on the world and I hope that my career serves as a testament of the value and the impact of a Purdue degree. I will keep my remarks brief after all where a university of doers not talkers. After being informed of the award by Abby Deshmann, the first word that came to my mind was gratitude. I am grateful to Purdue University for the lifelong problem-solving skills and the discipline that it imparted in me. I am also grateful for the experiences both during my time and post my time on campus as they allowed me to round out my context and build great collaborations. Finally, I am grateful for Purdue's relentless pursuit of excellence and leadership in academics, innovation, private-public partnerships and fiscal discipline. Thank you to President Daniels and his leadership team for continuing to drive up the value and reputation of a Purdue degree. There are many people to thank. I would like to start with my wife Lily and my children Justin, Emily, Derek and Alex. I appreciate the way they have accepted my love for Purdue University but most importantly for the way they have embraced it as their own. I also would like to thank my brother-in-law Louis Machuca, fellow Purdue alum, for giving me the confidence that a young man from Kawasport Rico could survive freshman engineering at Purdue University. I appreciate the relationship and the friendship developed over the years with my freshman year roommate Kevin Kraft. Finally, I'd like to thank three people for their collaboration with me throughout the year. First, Jerry McCartney, thank you Jerry for trusting Intel Technology, especially during your time as Purdue's Chief Innovation Officer. Thank you, Abby Deshmund, for allowing me to play a role in supporting your efforts to evolve for the better the discipline of industrial engineering. And thank you to Dean Meng Chiang for your relentless pursuit of this platform that we know as Purdue University to develop and evolve big ideas for big impact. Neil Armstrong once said, I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine. Well, I am glad that a significant number of my heartbeats have had positive impact. And that's in large part due to the blessing of being a boiler maker. I love the golden black, hail Purdue, and thank you Purdue University for this great honor.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, welcome, welcome, I'm Philip Magnus and today's video review is all about the Lumberjanes. Or rather the first volume, Beware the Kitten Holly. It's not a kitten named Holly, but rather a Holly kitten like with a little halo and angelic and all that. I have been meaning to read the Lumberjanes for a very long time now. Indeed, ever since it became popular back in 2014, 2015 I think, but I never had it around. And then what do I see just last week when I was in the local library? A lot of volumes of this comic book, folks. And since it just finished its 75th issue run back in December of 2020, I told myself when better a moment than this one. And indeed, I checked out this one immediately. My friend told me that I should have checked a few more, but I told her no, no, I've got, I've got enough to read right now. And this will probably take a while. It did not take a while. This took like 20, 30 minutes. And I am surprised because it looks kind of, you know, a good chunky bit. But the dialogue here in Lumberjanes Volume 1 is not the main point of the comic book. There's, there's enough of it, but all means enough to do all the important things like character development, humor, growth even. Character growth, very important folks to those of you at home who have never had any, I'm sorry, and you never will. Because this is not literature in real life, no one changes. Yep. Anyway, Lumberjanes, where was I? Ah, yes, the characters, lovely, lovely characters, but it is very easy to read. Our main cast consists of five teenage girls in Semicamp and I have written their names down because I still can't quite remember all of them. I'm going to try, we've got Riley, we've got Moe, we've got April. Uh, no, not Moe, we've got Mal and Molly. In my head, those two make up Moe. Does that make sense? Ah, whatever. And we also have Ripley, and I have written down their characteristics. I remember them, I remember their design, but it's a little bit difficult to just snatch it from my mind without looking. So I'm going to look into this. April is the prim and proper one. She reminds me of Daphne from Scooby-Doo. She's a redhead and she seems very stylish. She's very fashionable, very clever, but also hides a beast deep within her. I think one of the very first panels we see her in shows her. And by the way, the humor, a lot of it is done through this amazing art style. I know I'm jumping from topic to topic, but it's really hard to keep track of everything I want to talk about in relation to Lumberjanes, all right? So I'm going to do this very chaotically, very chaotically indeed. Next up, after April, I told you it was going to be chaotic, after April we have got Molly. And Molly is the beaver hat wearing girl. And I think she might be my favorite. She is an archer. I think we either saw this somewhere or I've read it somewhere. And she seems to be very invested in her beaver hat. Invested to the point that she risked her life in a dungeon to save it. Oh yes, there is a dungeon. There's a loss of insanity. Maybe I should read you the blurb first. Friendship to the Max. At Miss Kinzela, Pikswin. What? Tiskwin? This name is not made for me. At Miss Quinzela, Tiskwin, Hennie Kwikwi. This old crump is crump for hardcore lady types. Things are not what they seem. Indeed, not. For the record, no comic book has made me want to be a teenage girl going to summer camp as much as Lumberjanes has. Things are not what they seem. Tree-eyed foxes, secret caves, anagrams. Luckily, Joe, April, Molly and Ripley are five round butt kicking best pals determined to have an awesome summer together. And they're not going to let a magical quest or an array of supernatural creatures get in their way. The mystery keeps getting bigger and it all begins here. Yes, this is very much fantasy set up in modern day, just out in the woods. Somewhere in North America, probably somewhere in the USA. And I love every single freaking panel of it, not minute panel.  For example, my favorite thing and I think I'm going to try and get that into my daily vocabulary is what the joke? As well as Connie Moll Jameson and oh my Basie Coleman. I don't get it, but I love it. I mean, I'm not that up to date with American history and not every important woman in American history is known to me. Sorry, fellow Americans. Well, you know what I mean. My point is a funny way to curse this. Now, what else do we have here? The adventuring. These five can seem to stop getting into trouble. Go for a stroll late at night in the woods. You end up in a fight for your life with triad foxes, which then all scream out, beware the kitten holly.  I mean, what the junk people. Let's get back to the characters for a moment. Mal has got the punk vibe aesthetic going for her, but she doesn't have the exterior. You know that hard colors self that a lot of punk girls, you would expect them to have based just on popular media and all of that. No, Mal is much more of a thinker. She's a planner and she she attempts to concoct these schemes, which do not survive contact with her friends, let alone her enemies and by enemies. I mean, all kinds of horrific critters with three eyes. Mal is also the foil to one of our other five Ripley. Ripley I love. Ripley is bashed crazy. She is probably the youngest of the lot. And she's got this frankly adorable gap between her teeth, which makes for a lot of hilarious art, let me tell you. And I absolutely love that she jumps into danger without a moment's hesitation or a moment's thought. Two more characters worthy of mention. The first is Joe, who has a bit of an Indiana Jones vibe. I could definitely see her looking at some treasure later on in the run and yelling. That belongs in a museum. So do you. But, you know, more high pitched. And of course, we've got Jen. Jen is not one of our five. I think she is probably the principal supporting character of the series. She is the cabin supervisor. And she frankly is absolutely hopelessly lost in her attempts to look out for our troop of adventurers, of young ladies who are hungry for adventure. One of the biggest strengths of Lumberjanes is the character design. And this will either make or break the series for you. It definitely is a plus for me.  The art, too, is vibrant and full of color and absolutely the perfect comic book. I would I would just hand this over to my sister. She is 16. And I think that she would have such a great time with it. No question about it. I believe this is one of the first books that you should buy your kid's sister, your friends, kids, not because none of it will only appeal to girls. Obviously not. But but if you have someone in your life who is on the fence about comic books or has never really gotten in the genre, has never really had the impetus to drive to get into a graphic novel. And she is between 12 and 18 in particular. I think that Lumberjanes is such a perfect example of a young adult comic book. Absolutely, absolutely a treasure trove of fun and hilarity. I love it. I loved so hard I could not get enough of the adventures these five get up to. They had a fight with foxes at the very opening. They had some canoeing that ended up with disastrous results.  One of my absolutely favorite moments of this volume so far is April taking on a statue and arm wrestling it into submission. There's a lot of shenanigans to be had here. And I love that it's building up to this greater mystery. And I absolutely love that the girls are treating this mystery that has embroiled them like something that they really just need to push out of the way in order to enjoy their semis to the max. I'm beyond excited to read what's going on in volume to my friends. It is such fun, such fun Lumberjanes. And I think you should read it. You should definitely get it. I hope there's some hardcover collectibles that I can get some bigger volumes than this because I'm going to get this eventually for my personal library. Maybe not in the next couple of months, but it's going to happen definitely. And I am going to get back to you as soon as I get the next few volumes and read through them. Meanwhile, before you go, please don't forget to like this video, share it with your friends, subscribe. Don't forget to smash that like button. And you know I'm here for you. I'm going to be reviewing a lot more comic books in the future. Frankly, I love comic books and I think that this video reviewing medium is just fantastic to talk about them. Until then, I'm Philip Magnus and I will see you again next time. Bye. Until then, I'm Philip Magnus and I'll see you again next time. Bye. One of the girls had to go have an actual, an actual, what's the word?  Oh, God, I do not remember. Let me, let me locate it for you. I'm sure it's just over here. Oh, cannot find it. Oh, well. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Arm wrestling. Arm wrestling is, is what I'm meant to say. How could I forget the words for arm wrestling? I, I, I, mumble, mumble. Oh, well.

Lleisie Ender Lynx Golf Course ofers up two courses, in fact, and I will be playing both in the coming days. But I'm going to kick things off with a Man vs Golf Hold Challenge on this course, which is the Lynx and three truly spectacular golf holds. Right, so as well as the challenge, I will also be telling you the clubs I use and a quick chat about them because each one of them, apart from the irons, is likely to be from the brand new 2023 line-ups. A Man vs Golf Hold Challenge, a quick reminder, three holes, me vs the stroke index on the card. The first two holes count for a single point and the final hole is worth three. So either way, we'll be going down to the wire. Right, so we're going to kick things off on the eleventh hole here. It's 323 metres. I'll discuss what I'm looking at very shortly. The club we're going to use is the new driver from Stealth 2 line-up. It's the standard product 9 degree head. How will it perform when it matters? Come on, and... Right, so we've got to break this down into two shots because the first element is ensuring we get the right place on the fairway. You're looking at a rather large bunker which is covering the left-hand side and then down the right-hand side, the tighter you go, then you've got that tree line and obviously over the other side of that, your ball is gone. So important to get the right position. All important when you see what's faced in terms of the second shot. So our line is going to be inside right of the bunker and see if we get a bit of a cut and a fade and get one chasing as close to that hole as possible. That's got the shape and that's going to bounce and kick on, I think. Do you know what that's our kind of shortest route to the hole? The one thing I like about Stealth line-up, or I think perhaps this shaft, which you all know about, is I've got a bit of control over that club head and to be able to hit that real cut round the corner is... Well, it's all about confidence first and foremost, so I'm really pleased. We executed that. I think what they've done again really good is a sort of sound and feel off carbon would face. Love it or hate it. I sit in the love camp and that felt superb. That's a good start. OK, so we've got 170 yards in. That's not bad in itself. First of all, the backdrop is unreal. But what you'll notice here is you go left-hand side of this green, you've got a big run-off at the front of it and everything's feeding into that left-hand bunker. You've obviously got on this line where protected or the flag is protected by that bunker on the right-hand side. The pin position right now is at the back of the green, which means as well we can't go long because you'll see there's quite a severe slope at that backside and long your pretty much ball is gone. So I'm going to play a 160 shot left of flag almost on the sort of lighthouse line and if I land in the front half of the green, I think I'll take that. I certainly don't want to be long, but it's important to try and keep this thing straight. This may be a mistake because I'm going to go with the five hybrid from the G430. The main reason I'm going for it is because I'm confident with it, but it's also potentially a little bit long. So this is going to be half a swing and maybe just choke down a little bit and the wind is off the left by the way. So yeah, we're going to be aiming at the lighthouse. Come on, keep it smooth. That's really good. I just hope it's not too long. Sit down now, ball. Oh, he's played it long again. I cannot believe it. It was too good of a strike and it's gone pitched on the back end and has just rolled off the back. I just hope that that stayed in play because like I said, it's quite severe of a backdrop. Ah, right. Good news is we are running the bushes down there. Bad news is this is quite heavy, but then I suppose it has stopped me from going in those bushes. But yeah, it's sort of growing against me, the grain. We need to pop this one up as soft as possible. Sit down. Sit down. Do you know what? I'm surprised. I thought I was going to grab a little bit. It's kicked off the slope and we've left a bit to do to make par. What I should mention is this is stroke index eight and don't forget man versus golf is making to the card. So I do get a shot. That means I've got that still for the win. Well, I wonder if it didn't stop any quicker because the slope into the hole is, well, fairly severe to be honest with you. It's one tough golf hole and this is stroke index eight. Now it looks to me as though again it's going to feed off that left hand side, but it's just that pace as well. I'm going to be going racing this by. Come on, roll out ball. You haven't hit it and you haven't hit it. Too scared. I had the line as well. Just really scared of the pace of that one. So it's a five and it's a half. But more importantly, just how good is that of a golf hole? The second shot played into that green, which is almost on the horizon in infinity green, if you like. It's just so nice, but all in and around it also is so difficult in terms of getting that ball in the hole, which clearly I demonstrated. Right, okay. We don't need to go any further than the 12th hole next up because this one again is stunning. It's a par three. I've got it from here at 190 yards and it is in fact stroke index four and hopefully you can see why. Right, so what difficulties await? Well, quite obviously we've got some water to carry. That's going to cause a few problems. Secondly, we've got 196 yards to cover to get to that flag. But then when you get to the green itself and what's good about the design of this golf course full stop is in and around the greens are so, so difficult or well designed because the run off to the left is quite severe. And obviously there's a bunker left as well.   So the only choices really is to hit the green. So we're going with the Mizuno, the new STZ hybrid, 21 degrees. I really love this thing. I'll love it even more if it's this green. I'll work out a line. It's not easy. We're going to have to go towards the bunker with a bit of cut I think is the idea. And this could be absolutely bang on. If the yardage is good, look at that ball flight. Sit on the flag. Sit on the flag. Oh my word. I think that's probably the best shot I've hit in the two days so far that we've been here. Felt so, so good. I mentioned in an earlier video about just how good these new Mizuno hybrid sound and feel. Launch is superb. I've added a couple of degrees to that and this ST230 series with their new Chamber of Secrets added is a superb addition to Mizuno's line up. These really need trying, but obviously I'm more excited than usual because I've just hit one of the best shots I've hit for quite some time. Right. Well, first of all, it is really good to hit a good golf shot on a good golf ball. It makes it that little bit more special. But we've still got a bit of work to do because there's a break here, but there's also pace to be concerned about because this one is front to back. And we'll definitely be quicker than that previous hole. Right. Set it out wide enough. Not too firm. Now turn, now turn, now turn. Oh, my word. That would have been the perfect golf hole because I really felt as though I had that on the break there. Well, I nearly pushed that and missed again, but anyway, we make a three which with a shot received means that I am now one up on the golf course. But as we know, that means nothing because the last hole is worth triple points. Right. On we go. Now, I don't know whether I'm a glutton for punishment, but we're going to just carry this one on the final low. It's going to be the 13th. It's stroke index two. And again, I played this hole yesterday. From playing this tee box, which is very much off the back, then it plays quite long. But the main issue is when we get over the brow, you'll see that the green is, it's wide, but it's narrow. And there are some severe run-offs and there's a lot of trouble in front of the green as well. But we'll worry about that when we get there because first of all, we've got to get a tee shot out the way. And I'm going to go obviously with driver. Now that should kick again into that right hand side. Quite happy with that to be honest with you again. Just that bit of control that I get from this shaft, I think more than anything. I certainly didn't want to be drifting on right onto the beach and there's a strong wind that you can't feel. But trust me, it's into my back so anything sort of centre and floaty and it's a bit risky. So I think we haven't got a bad line in from where we're going to get. But come and join me over the brow and see what this second shot looks like because it's a scary one. First of all, the drivers really run on the second half of the hill and this is, well we've got 102 in. Couldn't ask for any more in terms of the position and it's not a bad angle all things considered. But what you're looking at right now is just how narrow first of all the green is. So it's not a lot of room front or back and then once again key feature of this golf course is the run offs and swales. And trying to emulate that links feel I suppose because that's what they've achieved really well. Really severe off to the left hand side and there's a ridge in the middle of the green which means if you hit it to the right hand side the chances are your ball is swinging way off to the right and a very difficult up and down. And I'm glad to say we've only got 102 in because yesterday I was playing 7-9 in and now I've got wedge. Right, if we can get it on the dance floor we should have enough to take this one. Right, it's on that ridge you talked about and I think it's going to kick. Look at this now.  Oh my word. I mean I forgot about that wind off the left and it just drifted only a tad. But I knew when I was going to hit that ridge there was only one way that ball was going. And once again when we get down there now and you see this port it literally goes up the ridge down the other side like an absolute roller coaster. I told you all you'll see very shortly I'm not sure if we can pick it up on camera. This is so high in terms of that rise and we pitch right on it and it's scooted down here. So I've got to get the weight, well I've got to get it enough to get up the hill. But not too much as it runs away over the other side. Get up ball. Now release down. Now release down. I expected that to be a little bit quicker you know. I've got a slippery one but as I make it I won the previous hole. So I've still got 2.5 on this which would give me the overall win. I'm surprised this came short but I cannot tell you how severe that hill is to climb up. I'm not sure we can quite pick it up on camera. Right. It's a two-pup but we're still going to make the two-pup because there's a swing on this. Now swing. Now swing. Right. That was definitely a, well what we like to call a bit of a dolly because I left that one. I was never going to race that one by because as you know 2 is enough for a par 5 which nets down to a 4 so my win on the par 3 gives me that overall victory against La Hacienda. Some interesting clubs used. The driver did me well as ever or maybe the stability that shaft, that pink hybrid was certainly the highlight of the day in terms of the shot I hit there. And the two clubs combined really did an half decent job just but how good is La Hacienda Lynx. It's a super golf course and I will be filming another few of these challenges in the next few days to show you a little bit more both from the Lynx course and over the other side which is the Heathland. Right. As ever, thank you for watching. Hope you enjoyed our little man versus golf hold challenge with a couple of new products out of the 2023 lineups. That's a win. I'm off to get some lunch and then back out for another challenge on that Heathland course. See you soon.
