This episode covers a rainy South Florida weekend where two very different rounds produced identical scores: back-to-back 86s. The host breaks down key holes, bad decisions (including a memorable…
Before I get to that, though, before I get to the golf weekend, did want to talk a little bit about the second round of the YGT being released on YouTube.
And if you're not familiar, the YGT stands for Your Golf Tour, and it's a YouTube video series led by Grant Horvat, along with George and Wesley Bryant, where teams of golf content creators go head-to-head for some pretty serious money.
When I shared my thoughts on the first round in July, had very high hopes.
Uh, I really enjoy pretty much all of the people that are putting this series of videos together, so I went into it really excited for this video series and came away a little disappointed.
And primarily, my main criticism was that it was just too much golf.
And that may sound a little crazy to take your favorite content creators and give you too much, but that's kind of how I felt after the first round of YGT, is you really do.
You see every shot of every match, and it is quite the commitment to get through, uh, a round of YGT on YouTube.
So it wore me out.
And for a while, I, I struggled to watch anything from the Bryan brothers or Grant.
I, I just kind of gravitated to shorter form stuff.
A lot of "Bob Does Sports," a little lighter, 45 minutes to an hour has been kind of my wheelhouse for a while.
But round two came out, and I thought I'd give it another shot.
And what I'd say is n- not much has changed.
And, and they mentioned in some of the videos that I think they've heard it.
I think they heard some of the criticism around just the amount of content that you have to get through to get through one of these YGT rounds.
And I guess I'll give them credit for I feel like they kind of stuck to their guns for, for round two.
Very similar i- in terms of it is quite the commitment in terms of time.
But on my end, as opposed to trying to sit down and watch a three and a half or four-hour YouTube video in one shot, I bit it off in small chunks.
Fifteen minutes here, 20 minutes there, have it on for half an hour in the morning before I go to work, or on a Saturday or Sunday morning before I'm getting ready to head to the golf course and I'm running around the house doing other things.
It was playing in the backgrounds quite a bit.
And I enjoyed it more that way.
It, it wasn't that they did anything differently.
I just consumed it a little differently, so that's entirely on me.
And I wanted to know.
I wanted to know who won.
