I like Danny for who he is. Seems like a genuine dude who is super competitive. Like we all are. That said, I do miss Lurch.

[@EricTheGolfFiend]

"I'm gonna go dead silent for 3 holes" Proceeds to talk to every shot

[@allstarsalltrix5086]

what a clown. miss lurch

[@Golfexpertbelieveme]

I was just coming on here to say this. lol. Danny cant not talk

[@DavisGuy]

!!!

[@brianturowski4216]

Excellent video, little upset you teased Lurch for these episodes (in the last podcast) and he's not in this one. Cant wait to see the rest. Excellent ending with Frankie/Trent thru the tunnel-hilarious! Look forward to the other videos---LFG!!!!!

[@BugattiDane]

Those greens are more pure than any actual golf course I’ve ever had the privilege to play. Also, Frankie can freaking WHISTLE

[@GooseLafleur]

Gotta love Trent hitting his putt on 9 off the green, picking up, and walking outta there with par.😂

[@ForePlayGolf]

😂😂😂

[@ninjanunzi]

Can tell Frankie and Trent aren’t fans of Danny. We all miss Lurch except for Corporate Riggs. Not the same

[@tylerdixon4928]

Frankie has made some amazing improvements since this trip. Wow.

[@tylerwedel6155]

Legit scores for Trent and Frankie, I see! 😂

[@baileyconklin2184]

Trent and Frankie going on about the intro songs conversation is so relatable 🤣

[@jacksonellison4639]

I played this course two times back in august of 2021. Absolutely stunning views and the videos of hole 2 and hole 9 do what you see in real life absolutely ZERO justice! If you ever get the chance you HAVE to play it! Edit: there has been no range and won’t be a range for a few years minimum due to a sink hole that swallowed almost all of the range!

[@shaggygolf4642]

I did that trip in 2016 and loved it. I Loved Buffalo Ridge....but Paynes Valley and the 12 hole course had not opened yet. Bummed you missed out on the driving range at the Top of the Rock...it was amazing.

[@jakehargis234]

This was fun to watch. The course looks amazing, the editing has gotten so much better. More immersive for the viewer. I think there are plenty of us rooting for Trent, but I can’t stop myself from ripping on the guy watching these videos. All the golf resources anyone could have, getting paid to play the worlds nicest courses, and you still struggle badly. Focus on those lessons - technique and swing speed. Sometimes hard to watch to be honest. Still rooting for the big guy though.

[@GotoyourhomeBall]

Absolute gem of a course

[@Itsmarcoborrelli]

I love everything about Trent when it comes to his attitude on life and golf…. But he has had access to the best courses / trainers / advice known to man and hasn’t made any impactful changes to his Golf game in 3 or so years.

[@danmiller9764]

He doesn’t care. Not try to get better. He’s one of the least athletic humans I’ve ever seen. Guess they feel bad for him

[@blakerh]

He still isn't good but he couldn't break 120 two years ago and now he can shoot in the 90s.

[@smackwh0]

You guys should plan a trip to go to Treetops golf resort. 5 courses (Par 3 course included). The elevation change there is INSANE!

[@mikecarpenter8918]

this ThreeTops is a vibe

[@seanall1]

Been waiting on this heater from the boys!! Let's go FPG!!!

[@deanvincent432]

Trent’s back swing is faster than his ball speed. Holyyyyyy man, do you listen to the coach ever at all?

[@CGolf]

Just gonna say what everyone is thinking.. I miss Lurch

[@SGTCoolz]

He rounded the show out well. A big goofy funny guy.

[@andrewmay3953]

Great drone shot on 2!!

[@stevencarrier5060]

When is the breaking 90 counting all strokes with Riggs coming out?

[@maxc450]

just get an odd feeling that frankie doesn’t like danny at all

[@bigfraz23]

I’m not a huge fan either, the number of times he says hit in a giggle it’s irritating AF

[@Shueuwbd]

It’s possible because I have that feeling about Danny too

[@iggnasty]

No one likes Danny at all

[@jaacksun4674]

Everyone hates him. He’s literally awful. Every time he opens his mouth I wanna find a different video

[@Senseisystem]

Quite possible he’s an unlikable guy 😂

[@devonsmith668]

that course looks so sick

[@haywoodisdaman]

Golf heaven. Ate at the restaurant afterwards. Pretty good food and not too bad of a price. 10/10 would return

[@gbone2636]

Frankie has become a very respectable amateur golfer. Not quite a stick, but definitely respectable.

[@commonsense2156]

His ball striking is stick if he gets short game going he will be great

[@gbone2636]

@@commonsense2156 His short game has come so far. The Fixing Frankie series is about that, and the guy who works with him is a magician. Shaved 5 strokes off his HC in 3 months, that's insane.

[@sirblt4923]

Foreplay will never be what it was now that Lurch is gone 😢

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

He is back next week

[@tbarr1204]

Trent daddy looking regal af today baby! Let’s get it!

[@MrPrivate1984]

Trent and Frankie fighting about ridiculousness when they are actually just mad they are sucking it up....is kinda hilarious and I feel their pain.

[@CynicalFOLEY]

Holy shit Trent wouldn't have broken 90 if this was an 18 hole par 3 course.

[@kooijbas]

I think 100 would have been challenging enough, that last hole would have been at least a 5. But it makes sense, he can get the ball in play from the tee and then advance it down the fairway. But chipping, and especially bunkers and putting is terrible. A course like this doesn't exactly play to his strengths.

[@timothyjstanton]

22:24 “Good luck catching me watching fucking MTV” might just be the best Trent quote of all time

[@scottlinson]

I don't think Trent can break 90 from a Par 3 course let alone a full course. LOL.🤣

[@krusher74]

47! front 9, lol

[@1tsdrew867]

Trent in the bunkers is pure comedy 😂😂😂

[@sub_second_life3174]

They need some goofy music and just an hour compilation of him spraying balls out of them 😂

[@vitaminwaterboys7761]

Dan is the type of guy to be mad that his buddy hit a good shot

[@rcaldw9]

Also seems wildly arrogant yet sensitive at the same time. He’s the guy that would try to give you swing advice on the course

[@CurdBros]

I am glad that I am not the only one that is just kind of rubbed the wrong way by Dan so far. I want to give him enough time to get comfortable and have plenty of time before I make any final thoughts on the guy, but there is just something about him that irks me. If the guys like him then that is all that matters. They know way better than me.

[@CurdBros]

Riggs just playing great. The work on the swing is paying off. Riggs gets a lot of.... flack (this is a family friendly comment section) when he plays poorly. We should definitely give him credit when he plays well. Way to play Riggs.

[@dustinrooffener6327]

The Ozarks is a different place than Lake of the Ozarks (where the setting of Ozark is based).

[@sub_second_life3174]

I have no doubt now that Riggs is actually a decent golfer. He still struggles with some shots…but be hit some really solid ones here. It’s also nice having Danny on, not for his personality but because he is a stick 😂 Danny talks a lot

[@kylecullen332]

Riggs it’s good to see the work on the swing is paying off!!!

[@hackers.tour.jeffchancy]

D-Rap "I’m gonna go dead silent for the next three holes", speaks on the very next shot 😂

[@joshgibson1982]

So beautiful there

[@turdferguson2839]

OMG, Tiger Woods said "hit and giggle" ONCE and now these tools gotta repeat it every 45 seconds

[@ForePlayGolf]

Settle down, Turd.

[@markm6059]

@@ForePlayGolf he’s right though Riggs.

[@nickrogers7071]

Dan never stops talking

[@mikes6457]

this whole property is incredible. the golf cart cave tour when the leaves change is incredible stuff.

[@tylerdixon4928]

Ozarks stay underrated. Been there my whole life. Hidden gem of golf in the US.

[@jonathanbradshaw5654]

It’s widely impressive that Trent gets to play golf for a living and be so bad at it.

[@jeffreyjames2351]

welcome to the world of the internet lol

[@scottymac206]

Lurch is missed. Big time and the views show it.

[@Briangolfs]

“I’m striping them though” as Trent sends two balls out of bounds

[@bigbailes77]

This really was a nearly perfect 4some before they made the change. Trent- the guy who sucks and knows he sucks but is so hoping to one day put it together while still having a good attitude about it all Frankie- The guy like most of us who can put it together on some days but is bad on others, not being able to find that consistency and is just comical in his self loathing Lurch- The big goof ball who can stripe it a long ways but short game is bad but always seemed to be able to lighten the mood Riggs- The guy who thinks he's a lot better than he really is and takes it way to serious but is the organizer that gets the random games going and keeps it from becoming a total shit show Taking Lurch out and replacing him with Danny really just killed that fun vibe. I get that he's much better than the other guys at golf but I personally (and it seems like a lot of the fans) don't care one lick about these guys being actually good at golf. We want to watch guys that are like our 4somes on the weekend but get to travel to the greatest courses in the world and dick around.

[@shanehunter3015]

My 4somes have a Dan in them. You know he is by far the best and gives us all the hope that one day we can maybe come within 10 strokes of them. While also being awesome about how bad you really are

[@ryang1910]

Dan is the Shemp of your group

[@nickdonalds982]

sad when this isnt even the best barstool golf channel

[@JodyLawson]

Riggs on #4 tee shot in the bunker, out of the bunker past the hole, putt 5 foot by, putt in for par. final scorecard shows par. This happens on every video. I dont think riggs is as terrible as everyone says. I think he has good scrambling ability. Terrible off the tee but he can scramble. But i have seen at least 3 other times that his score on a hole is off.

[@austinp333]

Lol I have a friend that does this everytime we play I don’t even like playing with him anymore I get more consumed trying to keep up with how many shots he’s hit than my own game

[@botrott]

Agreed, seems to happen to him and no one else. The video has his first putt listed as a birdie putt which he missed. As the card says 3 it would appear that whoever did the editing was doing it according to the 3 listed on the card.

[@JD-tv7ci]

Riggs def got his "3" handicap by always playing partner golf, best ball. Ohh, and also 1000 that's goods...

[@bjsr126]

Handicap system is extremely flawed anyway let’s be honest. It’s rarely an accurate reflection on what a golfer shoots on average, and more of what a golfer CAN shoot In saying that, Riggs is still a 15 Capper, best case 11-13. His Short game is pretty decent.

[@ForePlayGolf]

Hey sorry about that. That’s on production with the graphics. Not on Riggs, we miss counted, not trying to hide Riggs shot. We wouldn’t show you all 4 if we were trying to help his score. Sorry about that. He finished with an 28 not 27. Apologies, thanks for keeps us in check.

[@nikolinagole]

my old man holed out on the island green there sick course

[@samswensen9819]

"you almost killed John Kelly"

[@douglassevers1992]

Please bring back Lurch!!

[@jackdub1824]

Nice of Trent to play a couple of free holes today!

[@JTSwJT]

“!NEW SHIRT ALERT!” You almost killed John Kelley.

[@Peter-hr9tx]

Seriously leave big Trent Daddy alone..! We can’t all be natural golfers shooting great scores.. he is trying!! He seems like a great guy.. golf is not all about low scores it’s also about spending quality time with your friends.. not liking all the haters comments if you don’t dont like what you see then F-Off!! Frankie your chipping.. wow! Very impressive watching your improvement 👍 love the channel lads keep it up and ignore the negativity from all the professional golfers hiding behind their phone’s..

[@nicholasfrank6705]

I feel for Trent, with Frankie turning a big corner and Dan on board, there is some solid golf being played and he is just not getting better at sll.

[@rolliefishing4777]

I feel so bad knowing he just can’t afford lessons or range balls so he just can’t practice. I just feel so bad

[@dknisle1]

I can almost guarantee he puts in noooo time off camera. You don’t play this much golf and not improve at all. It’s his fault.

[@krusher74]

Those lesson episodes give some hope, and then he just go back to the same old crap.

[@markm6059]

Golf just isn’t for some people no matter how many times they play. Good guy he just has very minimal hand eye coordination

[@williamm313]

Love how Trent never finished and no one noticed or said a word, including him lol

[@krusher74]

yep score card on the 9th showed 3, he de-greened his putt for birdie, lol

[@williamm313]

Haha, you can tell he's just kind of waiting to see if anyone says anything, then he's like ok they're distracted, Im good. Lol, love Trent hes grown on me the most, very vaulable part of FP golf.

[@jfranken79]

Trent is going to shoot 120 on Payne’s Valley. That course is difficult.

[@palmermertz3879]

Great video boys! Good playing Riggs! Swing is looking great!

[@zynnertime]

Really hoping Trent can finally break 90 here!!

[@jaredkovacs8950]

Same man when he does it's going to be epic and a huge weight off his shoulders.

[@parkeranderson7599]

I think he was saying breaking 90 on a par 3, but I agree he's gonna do it if he keeps working at it

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

Trent needed this hawaii vacation badly

[@Davidzuring]

Honestly I need more of these chill vibes over the 'banter/hating on' vibes

[@DischinSports]

Frankie would love nothing more than for Dan to get over himself

[@kooijbas]

You guys do know how to pick the easiest green lately :D

[@jacobmccain8082]

I know Riggs takes a lot of crap (deservedly so) for his handicap, but he played great. Got to give credit where it's due.

[@brendenfred1]

He typically isn’t that bad but the last travel series obviously was playing the worst he has played in years and now everyone is freaking out about his handicap not being right. Having the yips is never easy to deal with

[@leightonp8496]

He's been struggling badly with his driver so the par 3 course probably helped. He did play well.

[@markbaker6902]

Foreplay needs to play threetops at treetops in Michigan Very challenging par 3 course. And awesome resort

[@timothydepetris]

Danny Darts out here sheeesh!

[@CoachJones_]

An even par round for riggs after the showings we have seen recently is wild

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

He is good anytime when he doesn’t need a driver and the hole is 350 or less

[@bjsr126]

Interesting looking “Par” for Riggs on 4… Tee Bunker Shot Putt 1 Putt 2…

[@ForePlayGolf]

Sorry that’s on the production team. We miscounted! He finished with a 28 not a 27. Just a graphical error.

[@Reeseballin8]

Trent should do a breaking 90 on a Par 3 course

[@brendanoshea1472]

Trent Daddy just needs to resolve himself that he just doesn’t have it. Can we stop the insanity, please? End the Breaking 90 series, figure out something else, and bring back Lurch.

[@markrodehutskors2923]

Not a Trent hater at all but man it’s hard to watch. Only actually finished 3-4 of the 9 holes and shot a 47 including a “3” on 9 where he putted off the green and didn’t finish.

[@jace5790]

Frankie, check out that course in WV that has an old coal mine you drive through. BustaJack filmed there this year I think.

[@aaronh7412]

Went there for my honeymoon, played Top of the Rock and Buffalo Ridge. If you're looking for nature in all its beauty, both courses have it! Great golf down there in the Ozarks! Nice shooting Riggs!

[@rons.5173]

When Lurch was there, it definitely seemed more friendly. You can feel the tension with Danny being there and you can tell Frankie and Trent genuinely don’t like him. Hopefully his time with BS is short lived.

[@ozziespeed8838]

Thank you for a very concise and direct observation. I completely agree. Need those good vibes back!

[@PC8905]

Ya, it’s an interesting change. It’s likely they wanted to shift to a more serious tone which is off brand.

[@jaredbehar5977]

What a round by Riggs, I know he gets a ton of shit but he backed it up today.

[@jaacksun4674]
