I was thinking about the whole 8/9 hole format of the Creatir Classic. At first I was like what the heck, why only 8 holes with a playoff, I want to see what these guys shoot for a full round on a PGA Tour course in championship conditions.
But thinking a bit more I think it being only 8 holes regular play evens up the playing field between the top guys like Wes, George, Luke and other guys who are semi tour players. Not just from a pure ability perspective but also from a competition setting perspective. You dont really want anyone to fall off the rails with a few threatening the 90s over 18 holes.
Its also clear from the field that they invited that its not the top 16 Youtube golfers by ability. So there would always have been a somewhat unequal field. But so what, not everyone is there to be the winner as main goal.
That said, I definitely would like to see a full round. But this is a good start to see if its viable to increase to 18.
How do we get the 🐐 of YouTube golf news on YouTube’s hottest golf channel for an interview?
i did see it before it was deleted. He did act like a kid during the video and was very salty. Blaming the clubs for his poor swings. It was not good
The fitting costs $500. For most of us it would be a dream opportunity. He treated the experience like it was an annoyance with a condescending entitled attitude. From the beginning he seemed set on disliking the driver. Then he described his normal drive as a fade that he almost never hits on his other videos. I don’t mind Rick not liking a club, that’s his right & objectivity but you don’t treat a fitter who was literally bending backwards for him the way he did .. Just seemed he felt this was beneath him .. very bad look.
Rick Shiels has been too big for his audience for awhile now. He’s become very hard to watch.
Rick kept saying he wasn't hitting the ball but all of them I seen and if you listen to the fitter he was hitting them good. I was a bit confused about it too
I watched that Shiels video. He was not being an asshole at all. It seemed just like if I went to a fitting and things were not going well. He was not hitting the ball well and he was not loving the clubs at first. Only people who should be made was Titleist since he didn’t make their clubs look good.
Missing the opportunity to have Micah, Wesley, George and Garret in the same grouping is absolutely criminal! Worst case they should’ve made sure Micah and Garret were in the same grouping. Give the people what they want!
Why isn’t Grant in it?
Let’s talk about what really matters for a second….. That mustache is looking clean bruh!!
Roger Steele is a decent player, he's been on some No Laying Up content recently, long hitter
How is @GrantHorvatGolfs not in this creator tournament 🤦♂️
Wes consistently beats George doesn’t he?
Rank within range.
1/2/3- Wesley, George, Luke
4/5- Brad, Pete
6/7/8/9/10- Garret, Sean, Micah, FP, Busta
Special Mention would be Gabby Golf Girl – she is likely to be most prepared for this event and could do really well.
Leaving out other's because I don't know there game and leaving out Mac because of the thumb, I'm dealing with a similar injury and it's driving me nuts.
FP gonna shock the world
No, tbh, Rick is actually kind of an untitled prick sometimes. He's grown pretty arrogant as he's gained popularity.
This guy obviously doesn’t know Brad played in the masters 🙄🙄
Wes is clear number 1 here, then George then Brad i would say
Brad will win it watch!!
If it was over 18 holes would your rankings differ?
I am a big Rick Shiels fan but that Titleist video was SO BAD! Rick had a very poor attitude that the poor fitter tried his best to work with.
Good Good
Rick has mentioned several times in his podcast that he isn't a fan of going through these fitting sessions because you have to sit through a bunch of hyperbole about a product that is rarely better than something the company released 5 years earlier. He should consider passing on these opportunities since he is probably walking in with a negative mindset but I understand where he is coming from.
How on earth is he putting Sean above Luke… I mean they literally just did an entire series together and Luke is so much better than Sean it's crazy.
I watched the whole video. He stated he wasn't swinging well at times. I felt he was doing a honest fit and I took that on that day he couldn't find anything that felt good to him that day. I prefer he was honest. Somedays l love my driver somedays I hate my driver. Its golf!
I watched a few minutes of the titleist fitting video. Before stopping I noticed the same thing… his attitude was bad.
I think in the back of garrett’s mind he’s upset his old boy grant is killing youtube with wes n ol georgy boy.
Also wes hit the long putt with josh and i think that’s why he said i got to get back to work
Garrett knew what he was doing with that prediction….
Wesly bry'aint.. is the shadow of Garet on utube..what a douchebag.
Can someone fill me in on why Grant isn’t competing in this tournament?
I really don't think Wes should be playing in this as a current tour player
Let me start by saying, I really enjoy Rick's video's and am a subscriber and fan. I am not a hater of Rick. I feel like this has been an opportunity for the haters to pile on. My issue with Rick's Fitting video was the fact that he kept trying to hit a shot that was not his normal shot and his attitude just got more and more negative. I felt like his negativity increased as the fitter called him out, very tactfully, by telling him to stop trying to hit the shot and just swing freely and let the fitter fix it. Rick said that his fear was a hook and proceeded to swing to not go left, instead of free swinging and let the fitter dial in the driver to the desired outcome. Guy did his best to help out, but it was just a strangely negative look for Rick. He has had way more clubs in his hands than I ever have. He would know the feel if he liked it or not immediately. I just feel like he could have worked with the fitter a little more.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The golf YouTube space has shifted. People want to see good golf around good courses. Doesn’t matter if they have a huge following or not. Someone putting out quality golf on a good course with 1k subs is more enjoyable to watch than someone with 3 mil subs playing below average golf.
Rick’s content has gone stale. Break 75 has had its run (even though breaking 75 as a pro shouldn’t even be a series) I personally think his HIT channel was a last ditched attempt a saving him. But even then listening to him explaining tech of clubs and analysing the data he gets wrong. Just shows how little effort goes into them if he can’t research the specs and tech behind a club and why they’ve done that.
I personally don’t think Guy has done his ego any favours as he just blows smoke up his backside 99% of the time.
Just my opinion.
P.s ready for the Rick fans inc
Love your channel. Great summary. I would love to see you take some more time to breath and slow down. Maybe it is the editing style or something, but you are breathing through your words. Again, I know you are not a professional media guy, and that is why I like the channel, just like one of us talking about what we like. It is just a little fatiguing to listen to sometimes. This could totally be a me problem as well. Good luck and keep up the good work!
Garett hasn't been a plus handicap in a while I think. When you play real OB rules without clean and place, he game drops RAPIDLY compared to the other guys.
I pull for Wes on the weekends. You just never know if he is going to keep his tee shots on the course.
Rick has 100% come off as very egotistical and cocky the last couple years. There have been a lot of comments in his podcasts as well where he has talked about expecting certain treatment at events/access to VIP whatever/etc, on top of the way his persona has shifted in his videos. I too am in the group of no longer absorbing his content. Guy C. is still great though! Would honestly follow his own channel if he ever tried it.
My IG comment ended up on a Nate vid. Do I win the day?
I mean, when you do a march madness bracket, you don’t pick all #1s…
Rick is a solid 5 HCP, struggling to break 80 as a pro😅 😊

Yea Grat really doesn’t give Luke credit for some reason. It’s very odd. Good thing Luke proved him wrong. Grat was right that he’d be last though
There's a very good reason why Rick deleted the titliest video ! It had approx 45k views before it was removed. Rick made an asshole out himself. Not only was he unprofessional, but he was being critical of the driver when it was obvious he couldn't find the middle after many swings and shaft changes. Credit to the fitter for being patient and professional. I've always been a Rick fan until I unfortunately saw this video. I personally think Rick has lost the plot and needs a break from Youtube.
People not seeing the point of his HiT video hes always trys to be honest in video especially when drivers cost 700 bucks and i saw his honest feed back i guess people want to see him over hype reviews. People forgot his Ping putter review or didn't watch it ping took it and completely changed how that putter was presented.
Good to be able to provide honest feedback on a fitting when every other video is people fawning over how they will be a 5x better player after it
Projecting the only PGA Tour player in 4th place in a YT creator event takes some stones.
