By Rihanna… 🤣
Love the quote “Is Alternate shot hard or we good “ 😂
Keep it up you two
You two are flat out gorgeous and can slay a golf course!
I ❤ yall 😆😆
This was a really good video! Like this better than the scramble, because it’s more relatable hitting some harder shots as well and to hear you say tips and tricks for those is not usual for popular YouTube’s and and I like you and trust your advise a lot! I’m from cold and dark Sweden, so right not i don’t play at all, but believe I will take with me a lot of how you both talk about golf when I too get on the course. Your the best❤️💙
You two are so sweet and very entertaining and a great golf.
My gawd, Marge made a putt 🙂 Great putter, I feel bad for all the ones that hangs on the lip in all the videos.
If anyone isn’t familiar with how difficult Alternate shot is…I don’t think I’ve seen any YT pair shoot under par. This is a Very-Very impressive round of golf.
Well played!
Revisiting the key factor
While drive distance and accuracy matter, Marissa's lesser scores reveal that the short game is crucial for impact, highlighting its primary importance.
It’s not that driving distance and accuracy aren’t important; they absolutely matter. However, performance on and around the greens (putting, wedge play, converting birdie chances) often influences scoring—and therefore earnings—more directly than off‑the‑tee stats. A long drive helps, but if you don’t convert that advantage into birdies (or if you lose strokes to three‑putts and bogeys), it diminishes the benefit of hitting the ball farther.
Assessing head-to-head outcomes
I’m comparing Lauren and Marissa's scoring averages. Lauren leads by about 3.8 strokes per round, implying her average around 70, while Marissa's is around 74.5.
Estimating round outcomes
Assuming both play on the same course, Lauren might finish 18 holes in around 69-70, while Marissa could be at 73-74, suggesting Lauren's consistency edges out.
Based on their Scoring Average Per Round:
Marissa: 73.50 strokes per round
Lauren: 69.73 strokes per round
That’s roughly a 3.8‑stroke difference on average. So if they played head-to-head in a typical 18-hole round, you might expect Lauren to shoot around 70, while Marissa would be closer to 74. Of course, actual results vary day-to-day, but statistically this 3–4 stroke gap is the most likely outcome.
ChatGPT
Based on the stats, Marissa’s biggest gap relative to Lauren is in the areas that most directly impact scoring average—especially putting (Putts per Round, Putts per GIR, reducing three‑putts) and turning opportunities into birdies. Although she drives the ball farther than Lauren, she needs to convert more of those long drives into sub‑par holes by:
Improving Putting Consistency
Lower Putts per Round (from 31.64 closer to Lauren’s 29.59).
Reduce three‑putts (currently 0.93 vs. Lauren’s 0.61 per round).
Better approach play to set up higher makeable birdie chances.
Maximizing Birdie (or Better) Opportunities
Increase Birdie or Better percentage (currently 18.25% to closer to Lauren’s 22.85%).
Focus on approach shots into the greens to give more short birdie attempts.
Minimizing Mistakes
Reduce bogey average (3.07 vs. Lauren’s 2.05).
Avoid compounding errors (bogey streaks and missed cuts are costly in prize money).
By strengthening her short game—particularly putting and wedge play—Marissa can better capitalize on her driving distance advantage and, in turn, improve scoring averages and earnings.
Heck of a back nine today, Marissa!! Way to turn things around and go off to finish the qualifier ❤
You guys made the Match look easy. It isn’t. You both hit awesome iron shots and made some great putts
Good round today, best of luck tomorrow.
Will you guys be at the Atlantic Beach Classic this year?
Love the chemistry between you two! I think flamingos are more Central America or tropical. I lived in Jacksonville for 7 years and never saw one. I heard there are some on Merritt Island that got misrouted by a hurricane a couple of years ago but unsure if they are still there.
Love your work girls. And way too easy on the eyes!!!
Marissa, Nice going over the first two rounds of the NXXT tournament. Keep concentrating in Round 3, and you will finish strong. After the 85 at the last qualifier, I thought you might give it up, you were so down in the dumps. So nice turnaround. Shows grit and a strong character.
My background is in IT. I thought you should have these chatGPT results. I used the stats from the '24 Epson season. Lauren finished 1st in earnings. I had chatGPT compare your stats against her stats. Giving you more to think about as if you need more.
Make Charleston a stop. Stono ferry is my favorite but there is the ocean course to at Kiawah island so many range of course and 3 different beaches. Happy birthday, groundhog girl, did you see your shadow
Bring the dad's back out. Dad's play against their daughters 2v2. Dads should be paired with the other girl. Can you see Sabrina having to play against her dad with beer in hand. Priceless🎉🎉
big fan of both of you! love the content keep grinding ladies! I realistically think yall can shoot 5 or 6 under easily.
Kickstart my heart ❤ Motley Crew.
Kickstart my heart ❤ Motley Crew.
Alexis, your ranked number 1 Epson long drive average. Dam your music range is amazing. I was blown away with the sandman shout out
Hearing y’all sing Charleston girl made me smile
Firstly thanks guys great video. I'm in Australia so my favourite singer is John Farnham. This live version of Help is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs Also John singing some ACDC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73X_z_zW4Sg If you like those you may like him a bit older showing his amazing range and sense of humor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6uxFKmCXB8 . Sorry for the big message But i would love to see a series of videos on how to start playing and what to learn as i am about to teach my grandkids to play and over here we don't seem to have the school golf thing.. Cheers guys.
Absolute tough pronunciation of “Childers” 😢
Love when the track man is used! It helps so much to see those awesome shots. And happy belated birthday Alexis!
Fantastic round ladies !!! ⛳️😍
Ps Marissa, I love Tate McRae too… my fav track is ‘Sports Car’ at the mo, but actually love everything she’s done so far 💕
I have to ask but why Marge for Marisa? I always thought Marge for Margaret?
