Come on guyssss I can’t help I got hot last year!! RUclipsr through and through 🤙🏼🙌🏻. Love u guys :)
I guess 10 years of you tube content isn't enough to make you a legit "RUclips creator". 🤷♂
Yes, he was very off base about this. A lot of people don't realize how much live streaming you have done as well.
I heard it as a compliment. That you're above the level of youtube golf and in the league of being pro. Don't think they were saying that you're content/"youtubestatus" is lacking.
I'ma view it as a positive, rather than negative :) Was really fun watching your POV on the comp. except for that last hole :P
Rick thought he was getting an invite 😂
On a level - thought Peter Finch’s video was outstanding.
the BEST...on YT. Angle and no bs between shots. The caddy verb was on point.
Peter Finch is miles ahead of Rick in every way.
@@camden1977exactly
Petes channel is the best golf channel right now imo. Killing it.
did rick say he was expecting an invite in the full podcast cause this clip didnt mention it
Pretty harsh to say George Bryan isn't a "real" youtuber... been grinding at this and growing the youtube golf as much as anyone - I'd assume BryanBros is at least top ten worldwide for golf channels/creators. At least from an influence perspective. The fact that he's pretty clearly the best golfer out of creators doesn't make him less of a creator in my opinion.
I think it was meant as a compliment. Talent wise he is closer to a tour player than a RUclips player.
You could say Rick isn’t a real golfer 🤣🤣
He meant like he’s made a tour cut he’s not just only a RUclips golfer
I don’t think they made that comment disrespectfully; it was more of a compliment on his golf game. Clearly he’s an amazing RUclipsr and content creator, but his golf game is a step above and on par with other tour pros. I’m pretty sure that was the intended takeaway from the comment.
You sound like a heavily invested fan boy. 😅
George is a genuine youtuber who just happens to have one of the best swings on the planet.
your omitting the part of george also being an actual professional golfer whose at least comparable to kft or sunshine tour players in terms of handicap
Petes round was such a good show of his physical and mental ability. Such a good round to watch
Grant Horvat is miles better than you Rick
Guys, please understand that the Pros who played in The Myrtle Beach Q event are mostly South Carolina pros. That was intended to help bring more SC “locals” eyes to the Q and eventually sell more tickets to the event.
We hardly have locals anymore it’s the northeast’s storage center
@@Ethan-rl8bfespecially in horry county. Actually crazy
Good point
Exactly. George has played PGA tour events and Bryan bros are sponsored by the "golf myrtle beach" organization or whatever. He didn't get the exemption because of the match, it's because everything else. Local, pga player
Guys take on most of it discussed is a bit weak. Rick and Pete didn't start out as RUclipsrs......they were literally golf pros. So you can't just call George Bryan out and say he's a golfer with a Yt channel - what does that make your boss? He didn't throw Luke Kwon into that bracket either(?)
It was a compliment man, read a room
George is from South Carolina he deserved an invite. George is exceptional golfer his only issue is between his ears. I’m glad George got the invite.
If he had Wes’ mind, he’d be a problem
@@gregthegoatostertag8579 absolutely would be a multitude time pga tour winner. You can just see him over thinking shots putting doubt in his head. Where Wes once he decides to hit a shot he’s committed never second guess etc. George has all the shots there is no need for him to second guess himself. See the shot then hit it. It’s hard because I’m such a huge George fan I want him to succeed so bad. He just has to get out of his own head.
Well, to be fair, EVERY guy who's not on tours problem is between the ears. You'd be amazed how many guys have PGA level games when there's no pressure. I'd dare say it might be over 10x the number of guys on Tour currently. But soooo many can't handle the pressure. I don't think George though is that far off. He just needs a good couple of days and a switch will flip.
P.s. I see this in myself all the time haha. I'm not a great golfer, great round is high 70s, terrible is low 90s. But still, anytime I have to play though a group of 4 dudes, I almost always shank it into the woods xD can't handle even a few eyeballs watching me lol don't know how the pros do it.
@@Drillbitayler I played thru college even on hooters tour for a year. I can say from experience not everyone that doesn’t make it is because of their mental games it’s always a variety of things but usually it’s putting and or the short game. I’m as mentally tough as they come I couldn’t make it because I couldn’t hit a reliable draw and my putting was streaky to be nice. I honestly believe as Wes started making a name it sort of put George on the back burner and he sort of took a supporting role for Wesley instead making a name of his own. Ultimately don’t matter because Bryan bros one of the best channels on RUclips he’s a great guy and seems genuinely happy with his life as he should and that’s all that matters.
George has lived his life in his brothers shadow. Which is clearly shown by his indecision and low self confidence when he plays....
I really liked your comments Rick. Less so Guy.
I thought it was fair giving George B. an exemption. He was leading and ended up tying after the end of regulation and lost in the playoff. To me, it was just like a PGA Tour event Monday qualifier. One day, one round and the best score gets in.
SO HE LOST END OF.
Guy is literally the reason ive stopped watching as much rick shiels videos. And this take reminds me why. Stinks of sour grapes
Watch Bryan Bros.
Quality golf, quality content creators.
Both Bitter, Shiels is just not good enough and would have shot +18. Shiels does gimmick content his golf is poor and other You-tubers has overtaken him.
That line about him having subscribers showed his insecurity with his game 😂
Rick sounds bitter about not getting invited 😂
It’s not really fair to say that George isn’t a real youtuber. He’s been doing RUclips videos for 10 years going back to the truck shot days. Wesley has been more involved recently, but George has been the guy that has gotten that channel to where it is now. Yes he’s a tremendous golfer, but that shouldn’t take away from anything that he’s achieved on youtube.
I think all they were trying to say was that he is not the same caliber player as other "youtube golfers" and that he is more similar to a tour professional. He made the cut in a PGA TOUR which none of the "youtubers" could ever dream of
he never said George "isn't a real youtuber". He literally said George is "an amazing golfer who has a RUclips channel". But if you wanna twist his words and make it sound like he has it in for George go ahead. He also never said anything that takes away from what George has achieved on RUclips. If anything one could compare the Bryan Bros channel more directly to Bryson DeChambeau's channel, both channels are made by people who were firstly great golfers that chose to make videos for RUclips.
@@bikesnbeats HES NOT AN AMAZING GOLFER AT ALL, THE TOUR IS SO WEAK NOW ANYONE CAN GET IN, HE HASNT WON OWT, AMAZING GOLFERS WIN STUFF!
@@AlastairBarker I bet you're a much better golfer. What events have you qualified for? Maybe you can create some videos documenting your qualifying rounds for the US Open. Show 'em how it's done! 😂
I got a few minutes into this and realized I no longer value the opinion of the channel. It's got very ordinary in the last year.
There are better people if I want club reviews, better people if I want interesting golf stories, better people if I want to watch good golf and more entertaining people all round. I know you'll be gutted and this will keep you up at night but sorry to say unsubscribed across the board.
Nice to hear Guy speak nicely of Pete for a change
I mean that 15 year old kid almost won! It coulda happened!
Rick wouldn't have broken 90 in Myrtle Beach.
Morris looked like was gonna throw up at one point. Congrats to Pete!
😂 doesn't help his caddie is a "yes man" either. He needs someone to check him on course management. Doesn't know where his shots are going half the time
I'd have his game if I could - he'd walk any club championship at majority of clubs - 320 - 330 yd carry off the tee!!!
Rick, you're extremely delusional if you think you wouldn't be last place.....and the idea that you could hang with Peter Finch is laughable. He goes easy on you because it's your channel and he doesn't want to embarrass you. You're a solid 12-15hdcp at best.
Clueless 😂
@@JimN109 Yes.....he is.
Fair point. His game has not been sharp lately. The boys sound salty that they didn’t get their invite 😂
@callmefrog76 When Asked, even Lee Westwood said "If someone told me Rick was a pro, I'd wanna know what course he was a pro at."
@@JimN109Indeed you are
And Rick would play that course about 25 over !!!
Shoutout to Guy for knowing the difference between a scratch golfer and a proper professional. As a really good golfer compared to almost all players and currently pursuing the pro side, the difference in playing normally and trying to play/qualify for opens is immense. The 77 by Grant or the 76 by Dan on a full length, championship style course, on a championship setup course is better than a lot of people realize. I myself played in the standard P-Qualifier and went out and shot a 73 in the practice round in "normal" conditions at TPC Myrtle without ever seeing the course. This would beat nearly every person that sees this video in their first time playing the course. I followed that with a round of 84 in the actual pre-qualifier despite not playing that much worse. The small changes in the course setup, the preparation, and everything around a qualifier like this is a lot bigger than people realize. Even guys who would shoot under par regularly at their home courses would shoot over 80 a majority of the time in these qualifiers despite playing to their standard. All in all, the home course scratch golfer and the high-level RUclips golfers versus the legitimate career tour pros is a whole lot bigger than most realize.
Not a good take on George.
I'd like Rick to get an invite , then we'll see how good he is , a card in your hand is a different game
I think we already know haha he wouldn't be anywhere near it lets be honest
They might do it because they want the subscribers but everyone, including Rick, knows he's not good enough
he'd shoot a 94
It was quite revealing whose golf game's held up, and whose crumbled under legit tournament pressure. I was so proud of @PeterFinch !💯 +1 doesn't even do the way he played justice. Pete got some very bad breaks/bounces. But kept his composure. And it was nice to hear George Bryan received a qualifying spot despite losing in the playoff. Also thought Finchie's team did an amazing job producing stellar content!
Guy, absolutely horrible take. GB has been making golf content for 10+ years… started off doing trick shot and if you watch his early videos he always got smoked by Wesley. He has put in a lot of work on his game and content. And now consistently beats Wes.
Guy talks tripe sometimes (well lots of times actually !!) they had to run it like that otherwise the actual PGA event would have been embarrassing for a RUclipsr shooting a massive score !!
I watch more youtube golf than pro golf for a very simple reason. Its the delivery of the content and its how much more personable it is. Youre in the cart with the players, youre hearing their thoughts, not only seeing but hearing their reactions to their shots, youre riding the emotions with them… if pro golf were delivered the same, Id watch more of it. Pro golf is too sterile and thats why youtube golf is so good to me.
I honestly got a little bored with the Myrtle beach post because it didnt have those aspects as much as a normal youtube video.
"I see George Bryan is an amazing golfer with a RUclips channel" - Shiels is Golf Pro who became a below average player with a youtube channel with a massive self- entitlement issue.
Wow so true mate I’m not usually a keyboard warrior but u hit the nail on the head
Let’s be honest Rick isn’t playing well enough to compete with any of them. I don’t remember the last time he’s won any match video ….sorry I Just didnt like how he said “if you have enough followers” dude you have the most on RUclips lol
I watch more Bryan bros content than yours, mate. So he’s more a content creator than you in my eyes 😅😅😅
Subscribers will say otherwise
i think there had to be some pro golfers mixed into the event for it to have any real merit. In the sense that if a youtuber wants to play in a PGA event they have to at least beat some lowish level pros or ex pros to get there. To just do a youtuber event and put one of them into a PGA event no matter what is more of an insult to the hundreds of pros desperately fighting to get a tour card who we all know would wipe the floor with any of the youtubers. We can't get to a point where the PGA tour is a popularity contest, where Pete gets to play on the PGA tour because he beat Fat Perez (as hilarious as that would be). There needs to be some real merit attached to qualifying. You can say they used the youtubers for views, but the youtubers got an amazing opportunity in return and an even more amazing opportunity if they could do the unexpected. And if you ask Grant or Pete etc if they believed they could beat everyone in the field playing their best golf on their day they would say yes. It's a win win in my eyes.
Of all the YT golf content creators at Myrle Beach ,Peter Finch impressed me the most. His game has obviously lifted to a new level this year. And George B is mostly a YT content creator ,and he occasionally does 'Q schools' as part of his content creation.
Your big pal did us all proud. Well done, Peter Finch.
Grant I think was one that fell to the pressure. He has done mini tour events in which both I believe he was under par and placed top 5-7 in those events. Pressure affects a lot of games and you even saw some tour pros struggled.
Man I struggled with Guys take here, he was always going to be negative. The whole event was incredible. The creators next year have a real
shot. Experience will help them.
His take is also based on ignorance. Listening to the Myrtle Beach guy they clearly wanted a youtuber, but the PGA Tour forced them to include the pros.
It’s nothing to do with ignorance. Do you think they really want some RUclipsr turning upto a pga event, missing the cut by 20 shots and wasting a spot they could have given to someone who can actually play?
George is more of a youtuber than Guy is. Fact.
I doubt any pro golfer actually lost a slot at the event based on this. It's an invite/exemption
He peeved because he will never get invited
So - How much damage has been done to the Rick Shiels golf brand, by avoiding the RUclips championship and not getting an invite to the Myrtle Beach Q?
Gone from a Golf Professional on RUclips to a RUclips Professional who hacks around courses with his mate Motormouth Guy!
Your golf content has currently slipped behind what many others - particularly the Americans - are now offering...
And yet you are still here watching it 😂
Rick is not good enough to play in the Myrtle Beach Taurnament .
Guy why the hate on George ? He is a youtuber who happens to be an outstanding golfer. The Bryan Bros is an amazing channel.
With regards to the event it was great and needed the 8 pros to give it credibility. You cant have someone qualifying for a pga event who cant break 75 .
Hate?😂 Calm down son
naaaa George is A PROFESSIONAL GOLFER that makes RUclips why tf ya'll keep saying that sht?
George had ZERO jobs at 33 years old, he played golf all his life, he's got PRO STATUS. Ffs🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️
@inb4230 what are you on about ? How much has he earnt on the pga ? He is living off his RUclips income . George says himself his focus is RUclips.
@@AlexClipz07 what the hell are YOU on about, what in the world his earnings have to do what I said?George is a PROFESSIONAL GOLFER, with PRO STATUS since 2010,the reason he doesn't have tour earnings is, hear me out,because he DIDN'T MAKE IT, not by not trying because he played q school qualifiers 3 times one of them this year. I couldn't give a rats tail about what George says, his focus is RUclips because he couldn't reach the tour otherwise it wouldn't ! Or do you think that after forking out 10k to attend q school if he earned KFT status he would wipe his ax with the card and go film a scramble,because if you do I've got a tower in Paris for sale!What they said about George bryan is 100% correct, George is a professional golfer doing RUclips not a youtuber playing golf, he spent his whole life doing nothing but preparing himself to get on tour,George spent years practicing in the best facilities with the best swing coaches, he's a 3 time all American still holds the record for best average in his college, he's not a youtuber that is good at golf, come on 🤣🤣
@@AlexClipz07 "George says himself his focus is RUclips " when the guy just forked out 10k to attend q school for the 1000th time and get himself a KFT card 🤣
Are you REALLY that daft?He's main focus is RUclips BECAUSE HE COULDN'T MAKE IT on tour, I cgaf about what George says, or his stans say, he's a PROFESSIONAL GOLFER, with PROFESSIONAL STATUS, period. He shouldn't even be in the youtubers side, that qualifier was made of 7 youtubers (amateurs, with amateur status),and NINE PROFESSIONAL golfers,with PRO STATUS. His earnings on tour have absolutely nothing to do with anything, George bryan and wesley said a million times on the internet they started a TRICK SHOT CHANNEL,which is what the channel was before wesley making it on tour, to try and finance their PROFESSIONAL career. If you don't know what you're talking about pipe tfd junior, let the people that was there almost a decade ago, WAY BEFORE mom got you a channel to tell you what's up and learn from it
They shoulda done at least 36 holes. Golf is hard been playing 23 years. Shot 77 few weeks ago then went out and shot 91 we all have our bad days
What a bunch of bitter hens you are fellows! Be happy that one of your clan got in!
Guy wants 16 creators to play with the stipulation that they are not too good at golf otherwise your not a creator. Is this to allow Rick who cant break 75 to have a chance lol
No surprise to see Rick give Pete his flowers, it’s what good mates do, as well as taking the piss when the time is right. There’s a reason that Ricks game is elevated when he plays someone who isn’t going to reward a poor shot, no one wants that. Pete, along with other players, have not hesitated to call out the shit. We all need that. It’s up to Guy to be better in that role. If it’s shite, it’s shite, do better. There’s space for all the YT guys and more anyway, I can’t get enough of it and watch as much as I can. Love all of them for different reasons.
Michah morris absolutely would NOT wipe the floor with any 2 handicap. The dude sucks
I strongly believe Myrtle needed to use the RUclipsrs editing and production help. They surely had more than enough time to make the quality better.
Lets be honest Rick is not close to being good enough for an invite
You’re both a couple of haters 😂
Very sad really
George is the best youtube golfer. He deserves it.
talks to much with annoying voice inflections reminiscent of shaggy from scooby doo
George Bryan may be a great golfer now, but his focus on making RUclips videos over the years and training helped him improve to his current level. He was a very good golfer a few years ago when I started watching his channel. He has improved since then.
Micah’s not posting his video that’s for sure, lol
Sounds like sour grapes...It was a lot of fun!
I know at least 3 of the pros are local SC boys and I have seen them on the BryanBos channel. Matt, Cardboard and Jamie.
Sorry Rick you would of been dead last on that list your a 7-13 H'cp these days at best with some better rounds chucked in there at times. George is an awesome RUclipsr + top golfer and comes a cross as a dam fine person so full props to him for getting in. We don't watch you cause you Birdie Birdie Birdie I think we don't mind seeing the bad chipping and sub par golf it's still good to watch.
You don't know what a 7-13 handicap is. If Rick played a members course every week at 6200 yards he would be around scratch. He often shoots in the 70s on world class championship courses off the tips.
So true I wouldn't have a clue what i'm talking about. I would be lucky to shot 120 on those courses but just something different in the comments instead of. Great round Rick or No good with the chips today mate :-) all good he never reads these anyway.
5:10 wet blanket guy doing his thing again, can someone explain why he even has a voice in the conversation
Here goes Guy being salty again 🙄🙄 I thought we were past this….
Hi guys, love Rick’s channel and some of the content is unrivalled - really pushing the envelope.
Avid listener of the pod. One comment is that I think at times Guy can be quite negative and a bit chirpy. I remember when Pete came on the pod a year or so ago and Guy was quite negative to Pete. Rick has pushed the envelope and industry leading, I just think Guy needs to wind it in a bit.
Love the pod, love the channel - just grates a bit. Especially when talking down other RUclipsrs. It’s meant to be a community and I’m not sure Guy should talk down about other channels/creators
Industry leading???
😂😂😂😂
Pressure is real man. Think about playing with your buddies if you’ve ever had a putt to win any kind of money you’ve put up for fun. Multiply it by 100 when you think a once in a lifetime opportunity is on the other side of it
I was rooting for FP to break 80 and not finish last - he shot 81 and beat two of the others, and was a couple shots off Grant and Kwon who I consider much better "actual" golfers. He beat Micah by 5! FP has good mental game. That had to be really hard going 250 off the tee every hole and trying to keep up!
Bryan Bro’s and Grant Horvath have the best golf content.
A lot of overthinking going on …it was original and entertaining idea and a great watch. Golf is about entertaining and eyeballs
Saying not surprised about Grant being +7. Still so salty towards Grant I see.
Why is that salty? He said he'd be between that and+12.
Who said they'd be between 7 and 12?
A scratch golfer shoots 72 on a easy course once in five rounds.
If you shoot 68 at the local Pete Dye course in my town then you are a +6 or +7.
Micah needed to leave his driver in the hotel room
Luke Kwon struggled because he’s played too much Good Good rubbish, Micah Morris is a bomber with no short game, so his score was expected. Grant Horvat doesnt play enough serious golf, and probably hasn’t played competitive golf since college. I see he is now playing more with Bryan Bros, and Wesley is coaching his shot decisions, so maybe he will improve.
Luke kwon struggled because he was already struggling before good good or should I refresh your memory that Luke kwon had his career on a hold with zero money to continue and a lost card, he had a dead channel with 60,70k subs and half that views per video, he had to make GoFundMe for his medical bills just last year,So no,Luke kwon was SAVED by gg not screwed, and grant horvat struggled because he's nowhere near good enough stop the fn excuses, "haven't played since college ",he has ZERO wins on his college resume.The only guy that COULD have a realistic chance is George because he's A PROFESSIONAL GOLFER that likes to pretend he isn't,better being the best RUclips player than the worst professional I guess
@@inb4230 Define worst professional though? George and literally hundreds of other near Tour pros try the Korn Ferry Tour and various other Mini Tours to scrape by financially. It just shows how difficult it can be to get a Tour Card. Some of these guys struggle for a decade to make a handful of pro tournaments with the hopes of a big week to change their lives. RUclipsrs like Kwon, George, Atkins, Cardboard, and even Wesley battled on smaller tours for periods of time. RUclips gives these guys more opportunities to gain recognition. For every George Bryan who gets his shot at a few PGA events with a chance to succeed you have hundreds of pros who just never get that opportunity. Maybe RUclips has created an environment where some of these guys you'd never see in a Tour event get that chance now.
Giving George Bryan an exemption is a no brainer even though he lost in the playoff. Not only is George a great player but much like Rick, he just comes off as one of the best dudes in the world. I love golf but even before the divide with Liv and PGA, with so many competing sports I can say that I rarely watch outside of the majors or Ryder/Presidents cup. You put George Bryan in an event, I am watching his first two rounds (hopefully 4) 100%
Lovely little dig at the beginning re "subscriber amounts"...comes across as sour grapes!!! 😂. Also, you cannot compare TPCM to Augusta either....just be real / honest and say Horvat, Morris, Perez etc played absolutely rubbish. Say it how it is. The 15 year old kid Tyler Watts went round that course and shot low. Because he played great.
Same for G Bryan and Finch.
I know he’s not the best player and doesn’t have much of a chance qualifying, but he is a pro golfer and is the Don of RUclips golf. If the PGA Tour is trying to get popularity by collaborating with content creators, it seems a bit weird that he wasn’t invited.
@@blue24563 you said it clear... Rick is a man of the people, an amazing content creator. But on average, he is a 5 HCP golfer...if everyone is going to be honest and not blow smoke. However the entire field of this Myrtle event were scratch or better. Including Finch.
@@coxyyy8324 Rick is a scratch golfer. He actually has a handicap you can look up on England Golf.
As many others have said, hard-disagree with Guy on his characterization of George...yes he made a PGA tour cut, but it's the only professional round he's played since 2018. He is clearly grinding YT, not the tour. I do agree that I think it would have been a better event if it was all creators and no pro's.
Very interesting to hear these points! As a big fan of RUclips Golf, I found the whole thing fascinating! Peter Finch is definitely good enough to have won the Q and also to place fairly high in the tournament itself. His mental game and swing have gone to another level. Nice to hear some appreciation for him. Grant also has the game but he is accustomed to talking through every shot to a RUclips audience on camera as opposed to grinding in tournament conditions. Having his best friend as caddy might not be the move next time. He should get a local caddy veteran who knows the course and hit it where the caddy tells him and trust his own gut on club selection and short game. My two cents ! Nice to see Micah take full ownership of his mental errors in his follow up vid and get more serious about his pre-shot routine. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Luke kwon has won on the asia pga tour was a serious contender,just didnt have a good day. I do agree it was fair play to have the korn ferry boys there otherwise just pick a you tuber for extra eye balls. Personally i loved the idea and the format but the result time was off,too much time after we knew it was played before it was released.
Frankly, the RUclips challenge is a great idea and great marketing for both the course and the game of golf. TV Rating are down across golf. But we have an explosion of interest on RUclips for lessons, reviews of products, you name it. And look the interest in this challenge. New ways to communicate with the audience who love golf is a good thing for the game of golf and its fans.
unpopular opinion but, the best youtube golfer is probably Matt from golf sidekick.
This is a joke, right?
Matty boom boom! Waddaplaya! Feeling confidential over the putt....
@@graememorissey3276 bloody oath
I love Matty boom boom. He's slept on. I wish he would get with the other creators and play matches, but he's too far away lol
Imagine if Bryson De Chambeau won a spot being a RUclipsr!! lol, Padraig also has a great channel!
Rick sounds salty he didn’t get invited 😂. Let’s be honest Rick’s game hasn’t been peak lately and he’s notorious for not accepting invites to these types of events.
The best creator is DOD king. Those guys so funny.
I thought it was absolutely BRILLIANT of MB Golf!!! Even # of Pro Golfers vs Content Creators that do well in golf. Several CC's done very well against those who "know" (and have experienced qualifying) PGA pressures. George should have had it but that's golf --- same goes for Peter .... but that's golf. Anyone of you guys, including Rick could shoot a score to qualify...... and we know that!!! Honestly -- it was promotion, mostly for YTgolfCCers ... and MB Golf. : )
we care for the best content, not the best golfer. Bob Does Sports is the perfect example of that.
I can’t say it was good. It exposed a lot of “scratch” really good golfers and simply didn’t show up.
GB4 played D1 SEC golf. He is both a genuine RUclipsr, decent golfer and a great human being. He earned that call up. Matt Atkins is indeed a KFT winner, played D1 SEC golf and is (I think) South Carolina resident. He's a regular with Wesley on BBG TV. FP played D3 golf. I think it showed. Pete did really well and they missed a trick not inviting Rick. Hope they address that next year b'c as a viewer it worked for me. The two best golfers on the day went through.
Micah needs to take an iron from the tree, his ego cause his bad round.
PF is > than RS. (Putting is questionable) All about money. If RS didn't screw up most of the time and eat sausage rolls all day with top camera angles and banter, I'd never watch. The PGA is boring as S. Don't start me on the even more boring LIV. I'd 1000 times rather watch RUclipsrs play a tournament. (Actual content creators with commentary under full PGA rules, than any boring event.) Golf is a skill, like darts, I want to be entertained. Not by some clown that hits it 400yds and talks about wind at 7.6knots and calculates a 73.3% swing under 1:56pm sunlight facing southwest on a 23.7 downhill slope. Let then make the money from golf and let you amuse me, like a court jester. All are jesters. You are all in entertainment. Entertain me, or get off.
Every good golfer I know gambles. And they will tell you it isn't about the money it's about the pressure. Those guys are always trying to simulate the pressure of a tournament. Sadly I will never know that feeling because I suck at golf lol
RICK SHOULD STFU IF HE WAS SCARED TO PLAY WHICH HE WAS! He would have had a Micah Morris Day and he knew it. He didn't want to shoot a 88 on camera. HAHAHAHAHA
If you watch Grant Horvat’s video, nerves were a major part of his performance. Fat Perez would have played 5 shots better with Peter Finches caddy, and a smidgin of luck on 3-4 putts. Peter played well, his caddy was great, I reckon Grant and FP needed a more lively atmosphere, the same as they play in regularly, maybe try out for LIV😂
cant say mica will wreck +2 handicaps on normal courses.. my buddy Nigel is 59 years old and plays around 0.5 hcp.. i never saw hit any terrible wedges or puts or long irions like mica.. Nigel never fucks up.. but mica and grant ? they mess up so many shoots and they work with golf and have done it for years. also they got every club fitting they wanted. sponsored by taylormade..
nah.. some of these youtubers are too highlighted.. i mean Grant lost to Rick.. talking about letting Rick shoot from the reds.. Ofc Mica and Grant are good golfers.. but they dont crush all scratch golfers or +1-+2 handicapers.. thats the real truth.
Very off base about George. He's been doing youtube primarily for almost 10 years. He's even been going on Twitch live streaming regularly since the pandemic. He's a content creator.
Criticising the event for trying to get eyeballs/views is ridiculous that’s the point. It’s like saying criticising ricks channel for getting pros on to get views..🤷🏻♂️
Dreadful take I’m afraid here fella’s. George is a RUclipsr and has been for years, only last year got a sponsors exemption at the PGA tour and took the chance well.
Local South Carolina Pro’s also getting the call up because they bring in people/supporters too
I like watching this channel, but I'm always shocked how little they understand about why people watch them. Yes, I do care how well people play (otherwise I won't watch), and I am guessing I am not alone. I watch YT channels for the more personal angle though, and because golf broadcasts are pretty boring to watch.
Yes, the content creator would theoretically get dusted in the Myrtle Beach tour event, but the question isn't "Does it matter" or "Wouldn't that be bad?" I think the fans want to see their boys go out and compete with the pros, and the other casual fans would be interested to see how a "normal/good" golfer would do in a PGA event. Even if they shoot 85-85 and miss the cut, we all want to see that unfold on the actual PGA tour.
The MB qualifier was terrible content. The RUclipsrs did well recording for their own channels but the way it was presented by the MB crew really highlighted that they just don’t understand RUclips golf.
RUclipsrs should be separate from professional golf, except for the RUclipsrs good enough to play in professional golf. It’s that simple
Using the ‘tubers to get eyeballs may be a misguided perspective. Maybe the ‘tubers used the eyeballs to get a one off opportunity to qualify for a PGA event? At worst it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, especially considering the content they get to put out as a bonus.
Offering the second exemption to me is an act of magnanimity, since they did tie and only broke said tie in a playoff, they did shoot the same score in the regulation 18 holes. Class decision by Myrtle.
Why are two plums making judgement on who is a youtuber or not. Its youtube. Anyone can be a RUclipsr. Their presumption is that you have to be a shite golfer to be a RUclipsr. Rick is obviously annoyed he didnt get invited because he thinks he is the biggest RUclipsr in golf. They probably didnt invite him based on his golfing abilities from his videos.
I watch RUclips golf for the vibes - more similar to me and the boys playing. I’d rather watch a fun bob does sports video than a Micah vlog, guy has the personality of a shoe
There shouldn’t be 16 creators that have the chance to get on the pga tour , look you have guys that play golf for a living and guys that do RUclips for a living so leave them separated… just my opinion then if 1 of the 8 “RUclipsrs” win it’s fair game they deserve to be there because they’ve beaten great players
Watching you video with Mica at Bay hill now and he really is a good kid. Great golfer and didn't deserve the criticism. At gis swing speed if he's off fractionally his misses are dramatic. The avg joe at home talking sideways can miss in 7 directions and be safe cause the can't hit it out of there shadow. It's just haters
Very unfair on George Bryan. Has been grinding his RUclips channel for a long time now. Been putting out very good content for a long time.
Listening to you pair, is depressing, can you not just embrace an opportunity some RUclipsrs (better golfers than Rick tbh) got, and be pleased that it brought more eyes on golf?
Micah shot 86 because he "identifies" as a professional golfer without the skill level to back it up so, when on the course with real pro's all those weaknesses are exposed. When your reality does not align with your fantasy, nothing holds up under pressure.
