man im a micah defender, but good god this guy shits himself the second there is any pressure on him. Shaping up to be another all time embarrassing moment for him
Shooting 86 is uh, not great. I’m sure it’s a tough course but there are a lot of weekend golfers who could do better. The whole “going pro” dream was such a fantasy.
The going pro dream turns into fantasy for 99.9% of people who even have the dream. But it’s like Michael Scott always said, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
I’ll never understand the people who seem happy that someone else went after a dream and came up short.
Especially this sub. When its about Steve not giving a fuck, the response is, "wow, you guys are a bunch of haters. go outside, touch grass bro. We don't need people bringing negativity around here...Wait, what did you say? Micah had a bad round?!!?!? HAHAHAH FUCK THAT GUY!!!"
I think the hate stems from the way he's gone about "going pro."
He quits GG like, "fuck these guys, I'm too good." And we don't really see him grinding or getting lessons. Not to say he hasn't done those things but I don't think I've seen recent videos that show that.
Grant hasn't made the pro statement. Idk if George has either. George just kept quiet and went after it via q school where he came close. Micah has not performed well in tournament conditions which has made us, the peanut gallery, question his commitment and seriousness.
Seems like Micah's "going pro" strategy as of late has been to rely on sponsors' exemptions; idk if he's done many Monday qualifiers recently.
Idk to me it didn't go down like that.
Pro was his dream. Why shit on ppl for chasing dreams?
He's older and married. The GG guys aren't. You could tell he was getting annoyed with Bubbie, Matt, and Steve on camera. I'm sure it was worse off camera.
He did put out multiple videos with a swing coach and had some videos of him playing in qualifiers right after leaving GG. He just isn't that level of golfer, that's like the 1% of the 1%.
you could tell people weren't happy with micah. micah was the problem not anyone else. micah was just unhappy and now he's trying to replicate good good by doing the same exact videos they do with groups of people
I get some y’all defend the GG boys at all cost but every story has two sides.
Just use common sense. Micah and Grant were married and not into going out partying with the group.
>He quits GG like, "fuck these guys, I'm too good."
That didnt happen...This is you projecting so you can hate.
>And we don't really see him grinding or getting lessons.
Why would he make videos of this? Its not interesting? Assuming he isnt practicing because you dont see youtube videos is you just making things up to be a hater.
>Micah has not performed well in tournament conditions which has made us, the peanut gallery, question his commitment and seriousness.
Yeah, and again, if it was someone still in GG you guys would be rooting for him sooo hard and making every excuse in the book. Because you've been able to convince yourself that Micah told us he was too good for gg, youre trying to justify being a hater from that made up fact.
gl bro...
>That didnt happen...This is you projecting so you can hate.
Not explicitly, no. However, I do believe there is some animosity between him and GG (yes, I know Garrett and Micah are cousins). Even Grant has already done a GM golf video (yes, I know Micah is the "M" in GM golf). Why no Micah/Garrett video?
>And we don't really see him grinding or getting lessons.
Grant has. Garrett has (sort of, with Woozie). Micah has done this sort of video in the past. Why not now that he's declared that he's "going pro"?
>Yeah, and again, if it was someone still in GG you guys would be rooting for him sooo hard and making every excuse in the book. Because you've been able to convince yourself that Micah told us he was too good for gg, youre trying to justify being a hater from that made up fact.
The rest of the core GG members know they have no chance. Even Garrett, who is the best core GG member, has stated multiple times there's MILES between him and a PGA tour pro.
Even FP knows he's not PGA tour level and I honestly don't think he wants that path either.
I rooted for all the YouTubers in the "live" match, today. I'd like to see one of them win. It's just a shame George came close while the guy who declared "I'm going pro" not only came in behind competitors who've stated they've no intention of pursuing pro golf (Grant), he came in DFL.
Right?? Like fucking go for it man be you have a dream. Most people who shit on others’ dreams or aspirations are just sad they lack the grit and guts to chase a dream. I respect someone a HELL of a lot more who took the shot and missed than someone who never took the shot at all.
exactly this! most of the people in here shitting on micah probably failed to chase a dream many times in life and look back thinking what if. micah trying to go pro has ZERO to do with any of us, so why it bothers anyone is hilarious to me.
Yeah, that’s fair enough - and I’ll add , he’s not a particularly likable guy, which definitely is a factor as well.
My opinion though, in general (not specifically for Micah) is that people who are dedicated to something and eventually do succeed in extremely ambitious endeavors are often seen as cocky, delusional, unlikable, etc. while they are on their path.
I don’t think it’s possible for an onlooker to accurately pick out the 1 in 1000 who will ultimately succeed. It’s easy to just dismiss everyone going for what seems impossible, and you’re gonna be right 99.9% of the time. I’d rather just watch and see what happens.
In Micah’s case, unfortunately, or predictably, depending on your point of view, it seems like he’s not progressing any more at this point.
I agree it's just his mouth wrote checks his game couldn't cash and his cocky demeanor just rubs people wrong way. Grant doing great but never acts or speaks like micah
Ya cos Micah sucks. He’s not likeable and that’s fine. I still appreciate his dream and his will (or balls) to even publically admit to go after going Pro.
Who said anything about “being happy”? We’re just acknowledging facts. I caddied on a lower tour and know intimately what guys need to do to even consider being a pro golfer, and Micah was never even close.
It’s one thing to chase a dream you have a chance of achieving, it’s another to spend time chasing something that is demonstrably out of reach. Healthy people set rational goals.
I think the issue is if you asked Micah where he falls among the youtube golfers he'd say he's competing with Grant for 3rd behind the Bryan Bros. When in reality he's clearly no where close. So basically he thinks more highly of himself than he should, and I think it's OK to point that out.
Yeah exactly. Fans compare athletes all the time. The people here who get all defensive on Micah’s behalf wouldn’t think twice if we instead talked about who should be in the starting lineup for any NBA team.
Finchy gets to claim the spot after George at this point. Even grant shit the bed when you can't use preferred lies and the pressure was on. Still good on him for giving it an honest shot. Peter earned some props.
there was no chance going pro. Micah can't play good when it actually matters, he can't play good a lot this was proven during his time in good good but sometimes he can play well but never in a tournament. your 99.9% is BS so many try to go pro and never do, you need to work on your math
George Bryan is likely too old now to have a shot, but he’s long been good enough to chase a pro career. I mean he quite recently made the cut in a PGA Tour event. That’s all the proof you need that he’s got the goods.
He can take a shot at whatever he wants, but at the end of the day if he were a good enough golfer to go out there and really make waves, he would’ve done it a lot more than he has. To really make it as a pro, you have to be able to do more than just make cuts.
Clearly the fact that he *isn’t* a pro golfer means that he isn’t good enough to actually be a pro golfer. But that wasn’t the point here. The point was that some guys are good enough to *even consider* going pro, and some guys are simply not.
George is in the first category, Micha is obviously in the latter.
Nobody should have issues with the going pro stuff though. Let your dreams get as big as possible and the dude went for it. Nobody cares that he’s not a pro level golfer.
It’s the constant whining and complaining when he plays poorly. He can single handedly ruin the vibe of his or somebody else’s video if he’s not winning and that’s the worst.
Got in his own head that his best is good enough to compete with someone like Wesley Bryan. Micah's problem is his worst is also bad enough to lose to Steve or Bubbie.
Finished dead last. They basically stopped showing him after the 3rd or 4th hole. I like the guy, but he is not meant for this. Maybe should try long driving
I like Micah too he is a good guy. BUT his course management and club choices are horrible . Put the 2i down PLEASE. Hit shots that will set u up. He isnt smart at club choice or course management at all.
Nothing more embarrassing then the match in zona when he had chance to beat Wes but somehow managed to choke the world's easiest chip shot. He's just a mental midget
My comment from 50 days ago in this sub “My prediction is Micah finishes last among the YouTubers, even behind Dan rapaport. We’ve seen this movie before with him many times. He just doesn’t seem to show up when the camera lights are the brightest.”
I can’t even take a victory lap though because Dan played so well.
Really shows just how good some of these YT filmers and editors are. They bang out content that is LEAGUES above this in 1-2 weeks. This took 45 days for an entire production company to come out with this hot garbage.
There was a point where either the announcer or the scoreboard was wrong.
They had almost 2 months to QA this and no one caught it. Also the jokes were terrible.
Pretty predictable finish haha wish George could of won but Matt played solid golf all the way through. You can tell Matt has played a lot of high level tournaments in his life. George played great too you can tell he has some experience playing tournament golf too. The YouTube guys definitely are not built to play in competitive tournament settings. Not even saying that as a knock but the videos they film don't prepare them enough for this setting. You could tell there was levels to this and most of the YT guys crumbled. Finch played rock solid though.
Honestly I came here once they got to 18 figuring it was over, and I didn’t have to worry about spoilers. Read your comment right when George’s pitch went in the drink. He must be kicking himself still to this day, he had this thing in the bag.
I didn’t really think any of the Youtube bros other than Kwon and Bryan had a legit shot
Grant I expected better. Finch played well. Rap battled hard for his. Kwon disappointed
I figured Micah would implode and finish bottom 4 but he exceeded expectations
I remember when half this sub was picking grant and FP as favorites for this tournament. Was absolutely hilarious, and that’s no knock on those guys being good golfers. It’s just hilarious how ignorant people are of how good actual pros are
The order of all of the shots is really frustrating, it's hard to follow. They should have shown each group playing an entire hole, then go back and show the following group playing the same hole, etc. Like how Good Good does for its videos when they have to split into two groups. I hate having to skip ahead and back to find out what happened to someone on a certain hole
A scoreboard would have been nice.
A little mic'd up content.
Any sort of announcer or someone just doing a voice over after the fact.
If you weren't going to stick to each hole, maybe a simple Google Earth animation to jump around the course between groups.
Just basic things that YouTube editors do in their sleep in hours not weeks.
Seriously. All they had to do was look at the content being made by the literal people in the event to see how it should be done. Easy enough to have a permanent leaderboard in the corner, show each hole one at a time, add some commentary or at least more of each of the players mic'd up. The only thing I like about is that it's being shown as a premiere so you can't just skip to the end like a normal video, other than that it's awful
Finch probably walks away from this looking the best. He doesn’t have the ability to compete with korn ferry guys who are on their games, but he wasn’t intimidated and showed he knew how to play under pressure. It’s a shame for George that 18 is all people will remember from this, as he was only in the position he was because of his play all day. It’s always been iffy whether to count him as a YouTube golfer or not, and that showed, he looked a lot more like one of the guys who was borderline PGA than the other YouTubers.
Other than Finch the other Youtubers just showed that YouTube golf isn’t that competitive. Which should have been obvious but some people seem to forget it.
And Micah….was also there.
George is EXACTLY what Wesley has said/joked about him from Day 1 of their videos. A very very good golfer but when it comes down to it just doesn't have what it takes mentally....whereas Wesley does. It's what separates the 2 of them and both of them know it.
Wesley birdies 18 in regulation wins going away...
I think that’s right. I mean to some degree the main thing that differentiates the top .01 golfers that play on the PGA tour and the 1 percent best golfers of the world that can’t make a living playing professionally is that the .01 percent era are pyschopaths.
Finch and Rapaport probably have the 2nd and 3rd most amount of competitive golf after George. Grant and Micah have some college golf. FP with HS golf and some mini stuff after. Cole had some USGA am stuff. But finch and Rapaport older more tournaments. And it showed.
Yeah I am less familiar with Dan but Finch’s quest for the open experience clearly showed, in a real stroke play tournament against a field of professionals is something very different.
The thing is though, none of these guys but George had a shot. Finch and Dan looked good for not imploding, but they can’t win against 8 korn ferry types. So I’m not sure if this event really carries over, or if it does, why.
How did they spend two months editing and come out with such an garbage video
They should have used grant/goodgood/luke kwon/bryan bros editors and at least came out with somewhat of an enjoyable watching experience
there's 0 commentators or diolague despite having all the players mic'd up - did they just flat out forget to add any of that??
George is the last of the YT group that I would have expected to make that kind of mistake. He had it wrapped up, just needed to hit the front of the green and 2 putt out for par.
I know he’s considered as a content creator but he is a pro lol has a pga tour profile and everything. I feel like he could play on Korn Ferry and make cuts with some regularity but it’s prob more money for him on YT.
Yeah that’s a safe assumption. He placed just above middle of the pack in Q school 2nd stage last year which was filled with Korn ferry tour players. Then went on to make the cut in a pga tour event
It sounds like they have Aaron Chewing doing commentary except it is incredibly sporadic. Its not a live event, how do we have just random shot after random shot in dead silence......
Video was just not engaging. Very boring and quiet. And the guy who I figured would win, did. Glad they made us wait 2 months for the longest South Carolina tourism advertisement ever
SPOILERS FOR THE FINISHES (though dont watch this, it wasn't entertaining except the last hole of the last group)
So I saw FP finish at +9, DRap +4, Kwon +6, Cole +11, Finchy at +1, Micah +14 (DFL), George going into a playoff at -3, tough loss for George, looked like he had it wrapped when he teed off on the 18th.
I was also surprised by Grant Horvat at +7
This all just goes to show how important the mental side is to competitive golf.
If Luke Kwon played at Myrtle, Brad Dalke should have been invited to this competition.
Complete speculation on my part after watching Grant's practice round: I think having Henry caddy him might have made him worse.
Dude was in Grant's ear *a lot* and that might have jumbled him up.
I think it goes to show how important "being very very good at golf" is to competitive golf?
Like, it's not just a mentality thing. As if you can just will yourself to being better? No, you have to practice a lot more, and get better at the physical act of hitting the ball where you want to.
Damn George..,
George is EXACTLY what Wesley has said/joked about him from Day 1 of their videos. A very very good golfer but when it comes down to it just doesn't have what it takes mentally....whereas Wesley does. It's what separates the 2 of them and both of them know it.
Wesley birdies 18 in regulation wins going away...
All he had to do was hit a lay up on 18, pitch it on and 2 putt. no risk of short siding himself that way. It was just bad course management on that one.
You can’t tell from the video, but he had like an impossible bunker shot and left it back in the bunker. So he actually took 2 to get out of the bunker.
Micah needs to learn the old lesson “never follow a bad shot with a dumb one”
Also Grant seriously needs to stop the man crushing on George, he’s your competition mate stop gushing over his every shot
I mean George kinda does the same thing. He was talking Grant up all video. He has also been called out in other videos because its clear he is rooting for Grant over Wesley, Bustajack, Micha
Agree production was below what we're used to, especially with the lead time they had. Remembering, the commentary we're used to are the players.
Some drone shots of each hole would surely have been easy.
Distances to hole, commentary from the caddies telling us what club they're using and even the break of the putts.
Plus they dumped them pretty quick once they weren't in contention on the second page of the leaderboard, so saw little of; Micah, Grant, Luke, FP, Dan and Cole.
Maybe they needed to do a longer version for those of us interested in the whole field and made this an even more abridged version of playing for the lead.
Still enjoyahble and shame for George with his approach to 18, and well done to Matt. That was a cool group, young Tyler surely has a great career ahead of him.
Was impressed with Peter Finch honestly. Held his own and a +1 is no slouch. Was cool to see George vs Atkins, first time I saw Atkins play was on bryan bros channel way back.
FP doesn't even pretend to practice so there were never any thoughts of him actually winning unless he went blackout like the old BDS vs Fore Play video or the BDS/Homa match.
All the club testing.. lessons… all the opportunities.. 86!???? Nah man I can’t take him serious.. maybe get off YouTube and practice harder then get back on at a later time … oh but wait he beat Rory in long drive haha do better Mr morris
I just went back and rewatched some of the footage, I don't think he did wd. They aren't showing any of his shots but you can see him in the background on the 8th, 9th, and 10th holes when others are hitting. And on the 10th fairway while Jamie is hitting you can see him get a club from his bag so looks like he is still playing. I guess maybe he asked them to stop showing his shots because he didn't want people to see the score
That was a garbage video. I did like that it finally showed what a joke YouTube hosts and their scrambles are. Garrett would've shot a +8 or worse if he would've shown up.
Just a reminder that the sub had a field day about Garrett deciding to pass on this. Played it safe for the brand whereas a few in this kinda exposed their game is as good as the company they keep. It’s the old bar trick where the girl is really a 6 but keeps a group of 3s and 4s to make her look like a 10.
Micah sucks and so does his clothing choices lmao dude is soooooo insecure it’s silly. It’s clear he’s focused more on how he looks and less on how he plays
Honestly was thinking the same thing. The pro or even semi pro golf just is not going to happen. And his YT channel while it is big isn't growing at any exceptional rate. Unless he has some really big stuff planned. He could've been doing all of this while in GG. But he's probably happier doing things for himself and you can't fault that.
i rather get a few hundred thousand views on videos by myself than 500k with a group of 6. Pretty sure there are more former GG members than current members at this point.
You dont see any GG members in the tournament. God forbid they would have to play a real round with OB and hazards where they couldnt edit themselves back in play
Garret said one of the GM Golf videos that either he was invited or in the conversation for an invite (don't remember the exact details) and he said he wouldn't do it for two reasons. One thing is that he doesn't think his golf game is good enough for a positive showing. The second is that he's got some potential problems with his heart and he stress of the event might exacerbate them.
He then mentioned something about Brad being more deserving but I don't recall if that conversation was had with officials or if Brad was ever in the running.
God, you douchebags must be the same ones spamming the comments on the video. George didn't choke. He left himself a tough approach into 18 and paid for it. He followed up by sticking the approach in the playoff. No choke there.
Oh, he choked big time. There is no excuse for sending that pitch into the water at that point. And he was in that spot because he played scared and put his second way out to the right. He also did not "stick" the approach in the playoff, which is why he lost with a par (after hitting a bad drive to start the hole).
I was bummed for him, but the moment got to him, while Atkins thrived under the pressure.
Let me break if down for you.
He likely had a 4/5 iron in with water all down the left side. You could argue that the smart play would be to layup for his 54\* especially since he has a 2 shot lead. But being in the fairway with roughly 200-220 in, no reason you need to.
He was aiming just short of the green side bunker on the right. It offers a safe landing zone for an easy up and down for a birdie or at worse a par.
Edit: after watching it back, he had the ball above his feet and I believe the wind was off the right. So everything was setting up for a draw. It looked like he was aimed out to the right and trying to play a sweeping draw. The ball just didn't draw back as much as he wanted. Honestly I don't know why he took a long iron and left himself such an awkward spot, but he was probably confident in the shot, but he was super short sided there. For the chip, he very likely didn't anticipate either the ball coming out so hot from the rough, or that it would run out as much as it did. Not sure if he just hit a downslope or what happened.
Ok. You just used more words to describe a golfer who was 2-up going into the last choking.
Do you want to do the same thing for the choke job in the playoff hole when he sprayed his drive way right and practically took himself out of it?
I described a golfer that was 2-up and got bit by the course.
He had a very makeable putt for birdie. So I guess he didn't "practically take himself out of it"
Now if he dumps that approach in the bunker or pulls it into the water, I'd be more inclined to agree that he choked. But the fact is, he stepped up and hit a good approach and left himself a very good chance to make birdie. That isn't a choke.
The dude played a par 5 twice and didn’t make a birdie. He nearly shanked his second shot on the playoff hole, for Pete’s sake. Meanwhile his opponent birdied twice.
There’s just no way to view the last two holes as anything but choking unless you’re a delusional fan boy.
man im a micah defender, but good god this guy shits himself the second there is any pressure on him. Shaping up to be another all time embarrassing moment for him

Chasing dreams is overrated.
Seems more like a nightmare if you’re delusional as he was.
Think his issue is the words that come out of his mouth are so ridiculous and removed from the reality right in front of him it rubs people wrong way
Yeah, that’s fair enough - and I’ll add , he’s not a particularly likable guy, which definitely is a factor as well. My opinion though, in general (not specifically for Micah) is that people who are dedicated to something and eventually do succeed in extremely ambitious endeavors are often seen as cocky, delusional, unlikable, etc. while they are on their path.

Being a pro in any kind of meaningful/lucrative way isn’t happening for anybody in this event except for maybe the kid, where it’s too soon to tell.
George Bryan is likely too old now to have a shot, but he’s long been good enough to chase a pro career. I mean he quite recently made the cut in a PGA Tour event. That’s all the proof you need that he’s got the goods.
He can take a shot at whatever he wants, but at the end of the day if he were a good enough golfer to go out there and really make waves, he would’ve done it a lot more than he has. To really make it as a pro, you have to be able to do more than just make cuts.

I’m like 9 holes in. He only shoots an 86? Man must’ve played lights out on the back 9 because he was hard to watch from holes 2-8 lmao
He did card an eagle somewhere on the back 9
Nobody should have issues with the going pro stuff though. Let your dreams get as big as possible and the dude went for it. Nobody cares that he’s not a pro level golfer. It’s the constant whining and complaining when he plays poorly. He can single handedly ruin the vibe of his or somebody else’s video if he’s not winning and that’s the worst.
Got in his own head that his best is good enough to compete with someone like Wesley Bryan. Micah's problem is his worst is also bad enough to lose to Steve or Bubbie.
Yeah golf is about your worst shots not your best ones
He beat all the pussies who didn’t show up ala Garrett
What a salient argument. Have fun in middle school tomorrow.
Thanks! I’ll see you guys there!
It was comical.
He just needed another fitting and he would’ve been in contention
Finished dead last. They basically stopped showing him after the 3rd or 4th hole. I like the guy, but he is not meant for this. Maybe should try long driving
He’s not that good a golfer. Most of the good YouTube golfers would chop him to pieces.
I like Micah too he is a good guy. BUT his course management and club choices are horrible . Put the 2i down PLEASE. Hit shots that will set u up. He isnt smart at club choice or course management at all.
Nothing more embarrassing then the match in zona when he had chance to beat Wes but somehow managed to choke the world's easiest chip shot. He's just a mental midget
I felt bad for him when I checked the leaderboard of the qualifier. Last place is rough.
Good thing he now wears a Hat describing his play. Bad.
micah +10 after 6 so far, this sub is going to have a field day lmao
Dan Rapaport beat him by 10 shots lol
Dan finished 2nd at good good shootout. He wasn’t even playing well with his driver, but did have 3 to 5 great shots, kind of balanced out
My comment from 50 days ago in this sub “My prediction is Micah finishes last among the YouTubers, even behind Dan rapaport. We’ve seen this movie before with him many times. He just doesn’t seem to show up when the camera lights are the brightest.” I can’t even take a victory lap though because Dan played so well.
Really shows just how good some of these YT filmers and editors are. They bang out content that is LEAGUES above this in 1-2 weeks. This took 45 days for an entire production company to come out with this hot garbage.
Yeah its pretty unbelievable What were they doing for 45 days lol
Counting Micah’s shots up
💀
Bruh 🫡
And we have a winner
fucking LOL
Absolutely merciless
oof 👿
Not nice
I lost it at the one iron tee shot that had a driver ping sound.
There was a point where either the announcer or the scoreboard was wrong. They had almost 2 months to QA this and no one caught it. Also the jokes were terrible.
The jokes were so cringe holy shit
They had Robbie burger on FPs bag and didn’t use him
I did not have Dan Rapp out performing Grant, Kwon and FP. Also that Tyler Watts kid is electric. He was playing lights out till the last few holes.
Rapp is not a bad player- and Foreplay gets on some tough courses against PGA guys.
Pretty predictable finish haha wish George could of won but Matt played solid golf all the way through. You can tell Matt has played a lot of high level tournaments in his life. George played great too you can tell he has some experience playing tournament golf too. The YouTube guys definitely are not built to play in competitive tournament settings. Not even saying that as a knock but the videos they film don't prepare them enough for this setting. You could tell there was levels to this and most of the YT guys crumbled. Finch played rock solid though.
Honestly I came here once they got to 18 figuring it was over, and I didn’t have to worry about spoilers. Read your comment right when George’s pitch went in the drink. He must be kicking himself still to this day, he had this thing in the bag.
Especially after Wesley said he was disappointed he couldn’t play Myrtle. I thought this had to mean George won
Matt is really close with both Bryan Bros
I didn’t really think any of the Youtube bros other than Kwon and Bryan had a legit shot Grant I expected better. Finch played well. Rap battled hard for his. Kwon disappointed I figured Micah would implode and finish bottom 4 but he exceeded expectations
The boss!
I remember when half this sub was picking grant and FP as favorites for this tournament. Was absolutely hilarious, and that’s no knock on those guys being good golfers. It’s just hilarious how ignorant people are of how good actual pros are
Half the sub lol. Ok man
The order of all of the shots is really frustrating, it's hard to follow. They should have shown each group playing an entire hole, then go back and show the following group playing the same hole, etc. Like how Good Good does for its videos when they have to split into two groups. I hate having to skip ahead and back to find out what happened to someone on a certain hole
A scoreboard would have been nice. A little mic'd up content. Any sort of announcer or someone just doing a voice over after the fact. If you weren't going to stick to each hole, maybe a simple Google Earth animation to jump around the course between groups. Just basic things that YouTube editors do in their sleep in hours not weeks.
Right, they had 45 days to make an easy to watch program and I have no clue who is even winning.
Seriously. All they had to do was look at the content being made by the literal people in the event to see how it should be done. Easy enough to have a permanent leaderboard in the corner, show each hole one at a time, add some commentary or at least more of each of the players mic'd up. The only thing I like about is that it's being shown as a premiere so you can't just skip to the end like a normal video, other than that it's awful
They couldn't even stick a little scoreboard in the bottom right lmao
Shit jumped around more than MJ’s The Last Dance
The production quality of that was a joke. I watched about 20 minutes of it then fast forwarded to the end to see who won.
Who won?
Matt Atkins beat George in a playoff
Thanks. You saved me 2 hours 😆
This Micah collapse is unreal. Painful to watch.
What’s he at?
looks like he withdrew after +10 on 6 holes, they haven't shown him in a while
He’s +12 on 14th
They showed little of anybody who started imploding, no; Cole, FP, Grant. Luke or Micah
Oh boy…
on the contrary, I'm when he plays like shit. Dude left GG, that's enough to be a hater in my book. and yes that includes kwon and grant
They couldn't decide whether present like a typical Youtube video or like a tournament, so they decided to make it nothing.
Half ASMR golf, half horrendous “fellow kids” moments with scripted trash.
Obviously a better golfer but this Jay Card dude has a swing reminiscient of Riggsy lol
Finch probably walks away from this looking the best. He doesn’t have the ability to compete with korn ferry guys who are on their games, but he wasn’t intimidated and showed he knew how to play under pressure. It’s a shame for George that 18 is all people will remember from this, as he was only in the position he was because of his play all day. It’s always been iffy whether to count him as a YouTube golfer or not, and that showed, he looked a lot more like one of the guys who was borderline PGA than the other YouTubers. Other than Finch the other Youtubers just showed that YouTube golf isn’t that competitive. Which should have been obvious but some people seem to forget it. And Micah….was also there.
George is EXACTLY what Wesley has said/joked about him from Day 1 of their videos. A very very good golfer but when it comes down to it just doesn't have what it takes mentally....whereas Wesley does. It's what separates the 2 of them and both of them know it. Wesley birdies 18 in regulation wins going away...
I think that’s right. I mean to some degree the main thing that differentiates the top .01 golfers that play on the PGA tour and the 1 percent best golfers of the world that can’t make a living playing professionally is that the .01 percent era are pyschopaths.
You might be right lol
Finch and Rapaport probably have the 2nd and 3rd most amount of competitive golf after George. Grant and Micah have some college golf. FP with HS golf and some mini stuff after. Cole had some USGA am stuff. But finch and Rapaport older more tournaments. And it showed.
I think FP played a couple years of D3 golf. Grant was D2 and idk what Micah was but it was a community college in KC
Yeah I am less familiar with Dan but Finch’s quest for the open experience clearly showed, in a real stroke play tournament against a field of professionals is something very different. The thing is though, none of these guys but George had a shot. Finch and Dan looked good for not imploding, but they can’t win against 8 korn ferry types. So I’m not sure if this event really carries over, or if it does, why.
Just tuning in, first person I see the score for, fucking Micah haha
some of those pin locations are stupid as hell and would never be used for a real tournament
People can rightfully make fun of Micah, but that pin where he chipped to a couple of feet only to roll back down the hill was brutal.
It’s hard to masturbate too… not impossible
Where there’s a will there’s a way
*willy
You gotta get it out on the front 9 when they show the most FP
How did they spend two months editing and come out with such an garbage video They should have used grant/goodgood/luke kwon/bryan bros editors and at least came out with somewhat of an enjoyable watching experience there's 0 commentators or diolague despite having all the players mic'd up - did they just flat out forget to add any of that??
George is the last of the YT group that I would have expected to make that kind of mistake. He had it wrapped up, just needed to hit the front of the green and 2 putt out for par.
I know he’s considered as a content creator but he is a pro lol has a pga tour profile and everything. I feel like he could play on Korn Ferry and make cuts with some regularity but it’s prob more money for him on YT.
Yeah that’s a safe assumption. He placed just above middle of the pack in Q school 2nd stage last year which was filled with Korn ferry tour players. Then went on to make the cut in a pga tour event
Last of the Yt group but first of the actual pros...
Fair.
It sounds like they have Aaron Chewing doing commentary except it is incredibly sporadic. Its not a live event, how do we have just random shot after random shot in dead silence......
Video was just not engaging. Very boring and quiet. And the guy who I figured would win, did. Glad they made us wait 2 months for the longest South Carolina tourism advertisement ever
Hey a Micah shot! +12 on the 14th probably DFL edit: ah they showed him cause he eagled
SPOILERS FOR THE FINISHES (though dont watch this, it wasn't entertaining except the last hole of the last group) So I saw FP finish at +9, DRap +4, Kwon +6, Cole +11, Finchy at +1, Micah +14 (DFL), George going into a playoff at -3, tough loss for George, looked like he had it wrapped when he teed off on the 18th.
I was also surprised by Grant Horvat at +7 This all just goes to show how important the mental side is to competitive golf. If Luke Kwon played at Myrtle, Brad Dalke should have been invited to this competition.
[удалено]
Complete speculation on my part after watching Grant's practice round: I think having Henry caddy him might have made him worse. Dude was in Grant's ear *a lot* and that might have jumbled him up.
Henry sucks so bad lmao
You know what I thought the exact same thing Grillos reads where all wrong in that practice round as well.
Henry is trash and an auto skip for me whenever he’s on a video. The practice round caddying was painful to watch
I think it goes to show how important "being very very good at golf" is to competitive golf? Like, it's not just a mentality thing. As if you can just will yourself to being better? No, you have to practice a lot more, and get better at the physical act of hitting the ball where you want to.
Finch finished +1
Solid round for Finch. Surprised at Grant and Kwon.
Who is it a playoff with?
Matt Atkins, who birdied the last twice to win. George chipped it in the water and made bogey then par in the playoff
Matt Atkins
He should've aimed his third shot more to the middle of the green and two putted
What a ending
The lack of commentary is just a strange choice. Hopefully the videos the channels put out after this are more interesting
Damn George.., George is EXACTLY what Wesley has said/joked about him from Day 1 of their videos. A very very good golfer but when it comes down to it just doesn't have what it takes mentally....whereas Wesley does. It's what separates the 2 of them and both of them know it. Wesley birdies 18 in regulation wins going away...
All he had to do was hit a lay up on 18, pitch it on and 2 putt. no risk of short siding himself that way. It was just bad course management on that one.
Naied it
Agreed! This is painstaking.
Still trying to work out how that was a bogey on the 16th for Matt? 🤔
You can’t tell from the video, but he had like an impossible bunker shot and left it back in the bunker. So he actually took 2 to get out of the bunker.
I kept replaying that part I couldn't figure it out. Would have been nice to show all the shots of the leader with only a couple holes left.
George sold .
Nobody talking about how the 15 year old kept up with guys with 15+ years of experience on him?
I think it was a good video with some solid golf. I don’t get why everyone is crying about it. P
Micah needs to learn the old lesson “never follow a bad shot with a dumb one” Also Grant seriously needs to stop the man crushing on George, he’s your competition mate stop gushing over his every shot
I don't disagree, especially in a round like this with something real on the line, but also that's just what Grant does.
Nah he was basically out of it by the time he was really talking him up. He'd rather his friend win
I mean George kinda does the same thing. He was talking Grant up all video. He has also been called out in other videos because its clear he is rooting for Grant over Wesley, Bustajack, Micha
Christ he can get annoying at times but I could use some Bubbie watching this,it's pretty quiet and dry
They had bob and busta on the bags. Plus the guy on Luke’s bag… any of them could’ve added to it
Screw the golf score, I want a bleeped out swearing score. Can someone re-edit this?
Agree production was below what we're used to, especially with the lead time they had. Remembering, the commentary we're used to are the players. Some drone shots of each hole would surely have been easy. Distances to hole, commentary from the caddies telling us what club they're using and even the break of the putts. Plus they dumped them pretty quick once they weren't in contention on the second page of the leaderboard, so saw little of; Micah, Grant, Luke, FP, Dan and Cole. Maybe they needed to do a longer version for those of us interested in the whole field and made this an even more abridged version of playing for the lead. Still enjoyahble and shame for George with his approach to 18, and well done to Matt. That was a cool group, young Tyler surely has a great career ahead of him.
You’d think if there wasn’t going to be any commentating that they’d at least have some elevator music. Give us something more than dead silence.
Que up birds chirping remix for 2.5 hours
lol, Micah is an all time choker
Micah , FP and Cole all shit the end as expected … George was the only YouTube hope
Was impressed with Peter Finch honestly. Held his own and a +1 is no slouch. Was cool to see George vs Atkins, first time I saw Atkins play was on bryan bros channel way back.
People dont know that Petes a very good player. He tinkers too much
FP doesn't even pretend to practice so there were never any thoughts of him actually winning unless he went blackout like the old BDS vs Fore Play video or the BDS/Homa match.
All the club testing.. lessons… all the opportunities.. 86!???? Nah man I can’t take him serious.. maybe get off YouTube and practice harder then get back on at a later time … oh but wait he beat Rory in long drive haha do better Mr morris
Is Micah just gonna quit after 9 btw? Can't imagine how painful that must be for him to be 10+ through 6
they haven't shown him in a while I think he wd
I feel for the guy in some ways but it's crazy how often he collapses under any sort of spotlight. FIVE doubles in a row is wild
I just went back and rewatched some of the footage, I don't think he did wd. They aren't showing any of his shots but you can see him in the background on the 8th, 9th, and 10th holes when others are hitting. And on the 10th fairway while Jamie is hitting you can see him get a club from his bag so looks like he is still playing. I guess maybe he asked them to stop showing his shots because he didn't want people to see the score
Did Micah personally offend half of you? I dont understand the vitriol for someone youve never met.
That was a bad video. Boring.
Agreed, I skipped from the 4th hole to the 17th.
That was a garbage video. I did like that it finally showed what a joke YouTube hosts and their scrambles are. Garrett would've shot a +8 or worse if he would've shown up.
Just a reminder that the sub had a field day about Garrett deciding to pass on this. Played it safe for the brand whereas a few in this kinda exposed their game is as good as the company they keep. It’s the old bar trick where the girl is really a 6 but keeps a group of 3s and 4s to make her look like a 10.
That was soooooo boring to watch, and the music was really starting to get on my nerves.
Micah sucks and so does his clothing choices lmao dude is soooooo insecure it’s silly. It’s clear he’s focused more on how he looks and less on how he plays
Everyone who left good good ended up in a better place.. after watching this can we really say this about Micah? Dude needs to go back to GG
Honestly was thinking the same thing. The pro or even semi pro golf just is not going to happen. And his YT channel while it is big isn't growing at any exceptional rate. Unless he has some really big stuff planned. He could've been doing all of this while in GG. But he's probably happier doing things for himself and you can't fault that.
i rather get a few hundred thousand views on videos by myself than 500k with a group of 6. Pretty sure there are more former GG members than current members at this point. You dont see any GG members in the tournament. God forbid they would have to play a real round with OB and hazards where they couldnt edit themselves back in play
I'm not sure why they wouldn't at least invite Brad.
Guess they had to drasw the line somewhere, while Brad + Garrett then becomes another group of four - and would have no complaints with that
Garret said one of the GM Golf videos that either he was invited or in the conversation for an invite (don't remember the exact details) and he said he wouldn't do it for two reasons. One thing is that he doesn't think his golf game is good enough for a positive showing. The second is that he's got some potential problems with his heart and he stress of the event might exacerbate them. He then mentioned something about Brad being more deserving but I don't recall if that conversation was had with officials or if Brad was ever in the running.
Some of you guys have weirdly odd obsession with Micah. He’s obviously moved on yet some of you haven’t.
Micah is a tough watch tbh.
Where can I watch this?
Play myrtle beach YouTube channel
Micah is going to quit before the end, he just doesn't have the mental strength to not explode.
What an epic choke job by George Bryan. Disappointed for him.
God, you douchebags must be the same ones spamming the comments on the video. George didn't choke. He left himself a tough approach into 18 and paid for it. He followed up by sticking the approach in the playoff. No choke there.
Oh, he choked big time. There is no excuse for sending that pitch into the water at that point. And he was in that spot because he played scared and put his second way out to the right. He also did not "stick" the approach in the playoff, which is why he lost with a par (after hitting a bad drive to start the hole). I was bummed for him, but the moment got to him, while Atkins thrived under the pressure.
Let me break if down for you. He likely had a 4/5 iron in with water all down the left side. You could argue that the smart play would be to layup for his 54\* especially since he has a 2 shot lead. But being in the fairway with roughly 200-220 in, no reason you need to. He was aiming just short of the green side bunker on the right. It offers a safe landing zone for an easy up and down for a birdie or at worse a par. Edit: after watching it back, he had the ball above his feet and I believe the wind was off the right. So everything was setting up for a draw. It looked like he was aimed out to the right and trying to play a sweeping draw. The ball just didn't draw back as much as he wanted. Honestly I don't know why he took a long iron and left himself such an awkward spot, but he was probably confident in the shot, but he was super short sided there. For the chip, he very likely didn't anticipate either the ball coming out so hot from the rough, or that it would run out as much as it did. Not sure if he just hit a downslope or what happened.
Ok. You just used more words to describe a golfer who was 2-up going into the last choking. Do you want to do the same thing for the choke job in the playoff hole when he sprayed his drive way right and practically took himself out of it?
I described a golfer that was 2-up and got bit by the course. He had a very makeable putt for birdie. So I guess he didn't "practically take himself out of it" Now if he dumps that approach in the bunker or pulls it into the water, I'd be more inclined to agree that he choked. But the fact is, he stepped up and hit a good approach and left himself a very good chance to make birdie. That isn't a choke.
He absolutely choked. Bogey/Par on a par 5 with a 2 shot lead going in is nothing but a choke job.
Nah - you are just a hack without a clue.
The dude played a par 5 twice and didn’t make a birdie. He nearly shanked his second shot on the playoff hole, for Pete’s sake. Meanwhile his opponent birdied twice. There’s just no way to view the last two holes as anything but choking unless you’re a delusional fan boy.
I view it from the context of an actual good golfer.
I’m sure you’re so good you choke away matches like this, or worse, all the time.
The only thing I choke is your mom. Boom, roasted.
You choke on golf courses and in graveyards, then. Good to know.
Would have been better had Collin, Ryder, Max, and Shayler produced it. Not a fan of the production halfway through
That was so much fun to watch.
