phil having this man in shambles off the rip is exactly the kind of golf grant hasn't been exposed to in the videos he plays other pros in. Solid change of pace, great video

[@jerrywaynerose]

Love your content, Grant. Here's how I became a fan of Phil. For my 50th birthday in 2001, my wife gave me a trip to a pro golf tournament of my choice (among the Texas tournaments). I chose the Colonial in Fort Worth. It just had so much history, I couldn't imagine a better one. I chose my brother-in-law, Kevin to go along with me. We're watching the practice round on Wednesday, going from one group to another until we got alongside Phil and Tom Lehman. On one of the shorter par 4's Phil's drive leaves him about 50 yards short of the green. He hits a low shot that hits the front of the green, takes one long skip and checks up right next to the pin. Kevin goes "Wow, how did he do that?". I jokingly said "Why don't you ask him?" Well Kevin just takes off and jogs right up to Phil in the middle of the fairway and asks him "What club did you hit that with?" Phil says "an L wedge". Kevin says "How did you get it to stop right next to the pin?". So Phil takes the club and explains to Kevin how to hit that shot to get the trajectory and spin that he wanted. I'm over in the rough just flabbergasted that Kevin was able to jog right up to Phil, and not only did Phil not tell him to get the hell away from him, he politely answered his question and showed him how to hit the shot. We followed Phil and Tom the rest of the practice round and actually had a little bit of a conversation back and forth. As we left them coming down #18 we asked them what their tee times were for Thursday. They told us and we said well we have a round of our own on Thursday morning and they said "Have a good round". Both of them were very cool guys.

[@shannonmccleery6222]

I met Tom Lehman several times at San Luis Obispo CC Straight Down Tourney every Nov. top shelf indivual very approachable, met his wife Melissa & Thomas also..they met here in San Luis Obispo thanks to Lauren Roberts met him too...very nice guy!

[@derekunderwood3356]

That was a lay up and Grant missed it!! Duh Phil. You are one of the best to ever play this game and now have 40+ years of experience beating folks at this game. I'm just a 25 year old KZbin golfer. Actually I'm glad you asked. Let's make it a 7 shot lead.

[@bull_Tattoo]

The length of boots you need to wade through all that Phil says, I'd imagine they'd have to be full length. As in, up to your neck.

[@TheRealBruceLouis]

48:35 thats incredible man, Phil talks about how he needs to hit this shot exactly, where hes gonna hit a low draw, bounce it to the right off that big slope from the left and onto the green. And Phil does exactly all of it.

[@kevingibbens8956]

Kinda in awe of Phil's ability to politely question Grant's chosing of starting 5 under, graciously accepting Grant's decision to stick with 5 under, then employ the mind games to reduce that lead on the first hole, then dial it back when he was like "ok thats fair"!

[@anthonycrum6722]

Now I enjoy playing, watching, and learning. What you said about why you started KZbin and mental tension of tournament play really made a lot of sense. Keep up the good work on building this crazy game. P.S. Phil making mental scrabbled eggs on 1st was next level.

[@mikewilliams7218]

That compliment from Phil about his channel and how it evolves the game to a different generation. Good for you Grant! Loved your vibe with Phil too! You guys really showed your passion for the game too!

Phil saying the greens were slow today for the ladies was hilarious and it took 5 holes for Grant to find out the greens were fast. 😅

As a former golf course maintenance guy, I knew Phil's BS as soon as it came out of his mouth, and the fact that Grant was eating it up had me 😂. Usually, courses give the greens a break on Mondays by not mowing them to concentrate on other projects.

[@WMTGGGBLOOD]

By far the greatest KZbin golf 1v1 I have ever seen. I love seeing Grant doing mental gymnastics over everything Phil says and does! It really shows how different of a game it is at that level.

[@Jim88Karaoke]

That's right. This match with phil is the most interesting one.

[@willsmith6634]

Who ever edits your videos is legit! It was cool to watch yall go back and forth on Phil giving you a 5 shot advantage. It was fun to watch yall size each other up in the beginning. Phil teeing you up and sharking you, and you playing someone you idolized as a kid. You are this kid (loose term) playing Phil who knows of you but doesnt know you yet. It was also admirable that yall knew each other in a historical sense. You know the game and his accomplishments and he knows (watches) your content. Thats respect

Having now watched all 18 holes of this match, my comment is that this video plus Phil's video of the second nine holes are totally fascinating. I've never seen a blend of competitiveness and gamesmanship combined with admiration for each other combined with a pupil-teacher vibe (of Grant for Phil). This could never happen in a tournament. They wouldn't have said a word to each other. But in this KZbin format they couldn't stop talking. Congratulations on a brilliant job by both of you. And great golf to boot.
