Boys with the early drop before my plane ride to Denver let’s go!
im ready for some more stupid takes from Riggs and Trent being annoying
Frankie looks unhealthy – lay off the booze
The dumbest intro I’ve ever heard. Nobody saw anyone in a majestic chevy. And you don’t have to mention it every other sentence. Just talk golf and maybe put up a picture instead of y’all’s faces.
YouTube golf has turned into professional golfers who don’t have sustained success on the tours. huge caveat is that you need connections and a good personality to succeed in the space.
PGA Tour and Youtube golf are in the business of sports entertainment. Having aspiring (or failed) pros doing Youtube format golf is more entertaining and compelling than most weeks on the PGA tour. With the golf boom that has happened over the past 5 or 6 years, Youtube has won the fight. The PGA has a problem with their product, not their talent. Their recent change in the restrictions on pros and their social media usage of their likeness is proof that they see it.
You tube golf has turned into one big buddy space. Kinda getting old already 🤷♂️
Kiz, Jason Day is not a failed PGA golfer and he's leaning heavy into YT. More may follow not because they failed but because they realize they can play the game they love and rediscover that love they may have lost to a degree without the same pressure. Brad, Kwon and Sean Walsh have all said as much. Yes they failed at carving out a livelihood and career on tour, but they're still better than 95% of golfers on the planet…
“You’re just over there taking up oxygen.” Trent used to be a sessile shrub and now he’s an active, walking golfer
If only there was a YouTube Golf Tour…
Adding Kiz to the mix has been such a great move for an already great podcast.
I think you boys could make careers on Cameo just hyping up golfers like you just did Trent
Frankie with the A1 take of the year, shut out to Gillis, and absolutely correct. My buddy and I watched the Q, felt like watching serious golf. Then flipped over to Bobdoes and proceeded to laugh for an hour. Space for both, and no need for the guy who can't hit water falling out of a boat to go live at the range and try to change.
