Micah has painted himself into an almost impossible corner. I admire him for taking the chance, but ironically his worst case scenario would be finishing bottom end on KF tour stops and just bleeding money. I hope he finds the best balance for him and his family.
I'm a fan of Micah. I've watched him develop into a fine young man and golfer. The Experience he's gaining along with the grit and determination and striving to be the best that he can be, this young man has a bright future in golf.
And to mr. Short game, your insight into the marketing aspect has taught me something I did not know today, thank you. AMAZING!!!
This sounds like your pitch to sponsors to give you an exemption 😂😂😅
Why do people dislike Micah? I am new to the YouTube golf scene so I don’t have much idea of the back story. He seems like a really nice down to earth dude so I’m curious about why he gets hate?
Nothing to add. Great take on all aspects. 💯
Why don’t they ever do any collabs with you? I be lookin for you.
Damn! Dead last?
Micah couldn’t even win a club championship…It’s a joke he was even in this event 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Triple A” golf is ruthless, these guys are savages. The winner is usually 15/20 under. It takes 4 rounds in the mid to low 60’s week in/week out. Micah is a great golfer, he’s just not there yet. I have no issue with him getting the sponsor exemption, hit the iron when it’s hot, from both perspectives. Honestly, he may get another shot at some point even with the poor showing.
It’s two things:
He doesn’t have that magnetic personality like most YT greats. I compare him to Crossfield vs Shiels, but Crossfield at least doesn’t take his game all that seriously.
Secondly, he took snipey indirect shots at GG.
Nobody knows what went on behind the scenes, but his career arch was forever changed once Garrett asked him to join GG. Take the high road, and be a respectable man.
He’s unwatchable.
Spot on, it is a win, win for Micah and the tournament. Micah gets some experience and the tournament gets extra attention because he is there. He might have came in last, but he is capable of playing better, I am sure his nerves were high.
being called a 'keyboard warrior' for pointing out the truth
truth = he finished dead last
truth = he is not a pga tour pro golfer
truth = he did not play in a pga tour event
Like Mike block, previous champs, has beens, local pros, people that might sell tickets
I thought his title something to the effect of 'muh comeback on day 2' was silly considering I watched it waiting for a good stretch of golf that never materialized but aside from that I hope he does well if an when he's given opportunities.
I mean no hate to Micah, but he’s just a scratch golfer. To make it to pro level you have to be what? +6 +8? He’s not going to make that I’m sorry. The difference between a actual pro and a scratch golfer is making the cut to dead last.
I’m not a big Micah fan, but this is the correct take. I’m about as merit based a proponent there is in this society, and I’m always complaining about people not earning their way into jobs, college admissions, whatever. But this is completely different. The problem is most casual fans don’t understand the purpose of a sponsors exemption. If you’re working for whatever company is sponsoring the event, and you make this decision to use the exemption on someone who will gain no extra eyeballs, you’ll be looking for a new job the following week. My only problem with Micah is his lack of self awareness when it comes to his body language and attitude. He has to know through watching back his own videos how it comes across and also recognize how self defeating he can be. Talent can’t overcome poor a mental game even for the absolute most talented. Micah can’t succeed in leveling up unless he does a 180 in this department. And even if he stays making content and puts the going pro ambitions behind him, he’ll need to allow himself to have more fun or the “woah is me” attitude is going to run thin there too. Seems like a good kid, fun to watch him smash it, just wish he’d allow himself to enjoy it more instead of putting so much negative pressure on himself.
So he’s last by a long shot… but forget that… lol… I like Micah the tour is another level
Sooooo many contradictions in this lol. “Can he win? That’s irrelevant.” Then proceeds to talk for 10 min on why Tig has that killer mindset to win the event and how important that is.
Just say Tig helps sell TaylorMade products and bring attention to brands. Trying to go pro is 20% of his actual emphasis at best.
He handles the quad bogey much better than Justin Thomas, who whines and complains non stop.
Haters will hate…same story when he left Good Good. People were hating on him saying Good good made him and he got all his subs from them. We know its not true, hes doing very well and now he got into an event.
More people didn’t watch, more people googled scores. Very big difference.
The people that are hating on Micha are the people that are pissed at him because he left Good Good. They are also the same people that say they didn't like him while he was with good good. They are just rattled that someone they don't like is doing something they can only wish they could be doing for a living. Just shows you how ridicules small minded people can be.
You are getting to be my favorite golf podcast. I don't know if you've seen Micah's latest; he received from Taylormade a set of P790s, played a practice round and intends to use them in his next competitive round. It may be even scratch players can benefit from a little help.
Agree. This was the only time I’ve ever checked the scores of a PGA Tour Canada event. Like you, it was pretty clear that the margin between his last place finish, and making the cut, probably came down to just 2-3 swings.
I thought the same after his first round. He played well but had a couple bad drives that cost him those 8s. He'll keep grinding and I hope he has a lot of success in the future.
Going from 15 over to shooting under par for 2 rounds is far from “easy to turn around” in the next event. And 15 over isn’t “a couple swings away” lol.
This is such garbage logic! What is the product Matt? The product is a developmental tour event. Their job is not to get as many eyeballs as possible or make as much money as possible. It’s to sponsor a developmental tour event. If their job was to make a money or get eyeballs then y don’t they just make all of their sponsor pics, YouTube, and Instagram stars? Hell why not make half of the field just popular people that have followings?
