DEAR TOYOTA: Thank You for Saving my Life!

[@deransadventures]

Gotta have front and rear dash cams man. They're pretty cheap these days on Amazon. Highly recommended.

[@nyseguy74]

Dash cam just saved my friend here on Long Island from a hit and run. I predict they will be a standard feature in cars within 5 years. Glad Mr. Short Game is on the mend!

[@jordan3305]

Old Toyota cars are built like a tank, new ones are great too but there is something about the 90s and early 2000s that were just indestructible and safe. Glad you made it out with not many issues, prayers to a speedy recovery!

[@Native2181]

Yea my mom has a 98 4Runner that has 578k thousand miles still runs like a champ. Things can’t be killed

[@joesalgado9851]

Prayers my brother for a full recovery and yes, thank God my guy you’re still here!

[@I_Am_Your_Problem]

@joesalgado9851 Fuck religion, and those that practice it.

[@AdamIsMyNameO]

My relative died in a car wreck. Was that God also? Hm?

[@woohoot]

The uninsured, revoked or suspended license driver issue in the US is a major problem these days. I recently went to court for a speeding ticket and at least 90% of the cases involved either driving with no license or driving without insurance. Its straight up infuriating when good people get screwed over by irresponsible idiots.

[@sf9602]

So sorry to hear about your accident, Hope you have a full recovery and feeling better

[@JohnnyBagvieGolf]

Glad to see you're going to make a full recovery, Matt. I was hit by a freight train weighing 8400T moving at 42knots in a Toyota Tacoma with no seatbelts or airbags and walked out of it. Not saying I wasn't banged up, I was big time, adrenaline is a hell of a thing. I am a GM guy, they've been putting food on my family's table for over 50 years, but you'll never hear me say a bad word about a Toyota.

[@KristyHaller]

🙏🙏🙏 prayers for a quick recovery

[@rheffner3]

Holy moly Matt. So glad you are sort of ok. And glad that you will still be around to do videos. I would have missed you.

[@09Youba]

Glad you are on the road to recovery with a great team. I bought my first Toyota in San Diego in 1970 and have owned them tell this day. Thank you for the update. Swing easy.

[@roncarlton1882]

Oh my! Glad to hear you are okay. Prayers on recovery.

[@Pejamas47]

Glad to hear your are safe! Rest up and recover!

[@ryanu3708]

Prayers and Blessings Kind Sir 🙏

[@billyoliveira910]

Dang it, Prayers for fast recovery🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@davidc6341]

Toyota, 2000 Seq, drove over 400,000 miles. Saved my life more than once. Glad you are ok, take your time to recover. Your life is changed, smell the roses. Enjoy your efforts, more than just golf. Thank you!

[@CamMacMastermusic]

Folks …. There is NO ONE that has had the back of the KZbin golf community like Mr. S. G. …. I hope in time of need they have his ! If I had a million dollars I’d be in your driveway with a new Toyota. Hopefully some ‘goodx2 guy shows up for ya soon. ☮️ ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

[@javiersalas7670]

God bless you and the truck!🙏😃😅 Get well soon!👊🏼 Im a Toyota guy too! 2017 Tacoma

[@nonfortiscedtenax1893]

Thank god and stay humble. Respect Toyota. Lean on family and friends. Never forget. Godspeed bro

[@charlesbond4413]

After I heard of the accident, I’ve been searching for this story. Thank you for the update. We’re pulling for you.

[@JRPETE-if9yj]

Toyota vehicles and Srixon irons…two of the best things to come out of Japan!

[@edmcgowan9500]

Prayers and blessings for a speedy recovery! 🙏

[@mageloki7704]

I was T-Boned by an undercover cop and I was driving in my little 94 Toyota pickup. I flipped end over end for about 150 feet. I walked away from that with barely a scratch. I was injured, but nothing major. Just back trouble that i was able to do rehab on, and a mild concussion. That's when I knew my Toyota was built well and I feel that it saved my life. I've bought about 8-9 Toyota trucks since then. Glad you are ok MRSHORT GAME!!! Love your videos.

[@desireedindal8160]

Glad to hear your safe and walked away from your accident! Sorry to hear about your 4-runner. Love Toyota!!

[@brandonowens888]

Glad you're doing good. Prayers for a speedy recovery. That 4 Runner was such a great looking vehicle.

[@MaverickFJR]

Best wishes on a full and speedy recovery! And you’re absolutely correct, they don’t make ‘em like they used to! That said, Toyota is still the way to go, even with the new designs.

[@Caf1972]

I've got a 2000 Tacoma, and I know how you feel. I really enjoy your channel/podcast. You're truly a great ambassador for the golfing community and just being an awesome person in general!!! Keep up the recovery and get a Toyota sponsorship!!!!

[@mbowdentn]

Praying 🙏 for a quick recovery.

[@billroberts7889]

God Speed on your recovery, glad you are safe.

[@MrTJr-1]

Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad not too very serious. Owned a 2005 Sequioa. Got rear ended going to my second daughter’s first doctors visit. Just the bumper got damaged but the other car was way more damaged. Solid like a tank. Unfortunately had sell it because of the high gas these last several years. My daughter now owns a hand me down 2005 4Runner from my wife’s brother. Prayers for your speedy recovery and more golf content videos.

[@TheDekysar]

So glad you are okay 🙏for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

[@nathanielessex5886]

Glad you are ok! Praying for a speedy recovery. Enjoy your videos! Happy Thanksgiving

[@veronicabarrera1590]

I love watching both of your channels and I'm so glad you are okay. I hope you make a speedy recovery! :)

[@theloyalnine9765]

Glad your safe and healthy. Praise be to Him.

[@colemanharris7610]

Keep up the great recovery and continue to thank God.

[@jonathanbrown6545]

come on Toyota! he’s had that truck for forever. i’m looking to buy a ‘99-‘02 4Runner, had a ‘97 for 6 years, was my favorite rig i’ve had out of the many vehicles i’ve had

[@juiceqc7716]

Toyota and the Lord. That is a great combination. I hope it is not blasphemous to say if you have The Lord and Toyota on your side then you are heading in the right direction. Dashcams Matt. Get well soon.

[@wessims3412]

My prayers are with you, wishing you a full recovery and the best of health in the future! So glad you’re alive, God is good! Don’t forget it👍❤️

[@rickwarren529]

Glad you're doing OK, Matt! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@christianwaldeck8062]

Back in July I was hit head on at speed by a "distracted driver" and my 2019 4runner 100% saved my life. I am still working on recovering so I can get back on the course in 2025, but blessed and thankful! Glad you made it and now 4runner for life!

[@shawnh1123]

Glad you are still here, damn. This makes me want to keep my Tundra forever.

[@steveamick2104]

Prayers for a good recovery. I travel up and down the 400 all the time, either to go to PGA Superstore or playing golf somewhere (like RiverPines, Crystal Falls, Woodmont, etc). Seems like on a Sunday I'm usually travelling the 400 at some time, so I'm glad you are OK!

[@TitleWaive1]

My college roommate was killed by brake drum coming off semi on interstate. State patrol did not get camera footage in time as the highway cameras (at least in this state) overwrite the footage every 48-72 hours. If you want camera footage you need to get on it fast; may be too late.

[@thecringegolfer]

Glad you're going to be alright, Matt! Thank God! I worked as a mechanic for a while and Toyota is probably one of the better built vehicles I have ever worked on.

[@robpritts1043]

Matt, thank God i was a Sunday morning on 400! I'm right near you so if you need anything let me know. I love my chiro in East Cobb and so glad you are on the mend!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family!

[@allag3]

Thankful to God for protecting you and your support team.

[@nicholastebet6766]

Glad to hear your ok. Love your content!

[@troyrambo6804]

Glad you're safe. They make great safe vehicles. Someone was looking out for you. I also have a clearlight sauna and they are awesome.

[@oatechaosincycles]

Wow! I flew out of Atl on that Sunday as well. Im glad you are OK Matt. The body will do astounding things if you let it!

[@GregHuston]

Bummer on the wreck; thankfully you came through relatively unscathed. My buddy was hit from behind a couple months ago in his 2006 4Runner (owned since new) on the hwy and it was totaled out (He was able to play in a Tournament the next day though). My advice to him was to find a clean Lexus GX470 and he found a great one owner with maintenance history for $14.5K.

[@jamesstrickland7042]

Matt it is great to know that you will be ok and you are right the Lord was with you in your truck.

[@aaronD3golf]

God bless you brother

[@jerrytingle6743]

Thank you for thanking GOD. And thank you forthanking your wife. God bless you. Our 2005 Nissan Frontier was rear-ended, and our lives were spared, My auto bod😂dy guy was able to save my truck. God Bless you. Coach

[@scottmcdonnelljr792]

Glad you’re ok. I live in Philly and there are so many hit and runs bc people are driving like idiots either because they have no insurance or license or even the car is stolen. But it’s my worst fear that someone would hit me or my wife and take off without even seeing if anyone is hurt. It’s scary man

[@apersonontheinternet8006]

Glad to hear you are feeling better.

[@WillyWhite-v5j]

We Love Ya bubba , God has his hand on you and you definitely have angels watchin over you. Plus someday I hope to play a round with you and you ain't getting outta it that easy 😎 hope you recover soon

[@arijoseph2282]

Glad your ok amigo. Love my Toyota truck

[@franklambert7781]

I'm so thankful that you are alright!

[@kevinscruggs]

Matt: I am sure things will turn out OK but please be aware of the concussion. The almost exact same thing happened to me a few years ago and I had a minor concussion. I had some symptoms that didn't show up for a few days. It was eventually OK but it was weird for a while. Not trying to be overly dramatic. Also, the infrared Sauna is a real lifesaver.

[@trevorottman]

Movement is medicine. Glad you’re gonna be alright, Matt!

[@debbiekalynuk4217]

Glad you are here! 😊

[@rationalsanelogical8910]

Oh that poor 3rd gen Runner!! Glad you’re ok. Make sure to check comp prices in the area that have sold, and give them to your insurance. If fully covered, I wouldn’t recommend taking their first or even their second offered amount, as the true market value of that rig exceeds that of which the insurance will base their offer number. Just some food for thought.

[@colinfagan539]

Make sure whatever replacment you get has side curtain airbags. That wasn't really a thing in 98' but prevents that head hitting the window injury.

[@jaycombs5061]

Glad you are okay. Here's to quick healing.

[@myusernames1967]

This is why you should all have a car camera.... frond AND rear. I have them in my 3 cars, you never know when you need it.

[@johnnybailey4091]

Glad your good

[@richardcreed3700]

Do a collaboration with Robby Layton - you give him golf lessons and he rebuilds your Toyota! Seriously, hit him up!

[@jakesells2379]

Get well soon!

[@markcook4693]

Get well soon, man.

[@steve337]

Love my 4 Runner. Solid body on frame.

[@michealterning9815]

Glad you are fine bc I was also hit and recovered but thank god you are fine.

[@shankedit65]

Have to watch the Top Gear indestructible Hilux episode to see how tough Toyotas are.

[@nickcharli1025]

Really churching this up.

[@Ufc12355]

Hopefully Coach reached out

[@Tom_Swift]

Glad you're OK. Please get a dashcam, both front and rear. They're under $200 for good 4k quality and hopefully you never need to use it. 🙏

[@kamikazefireball]

Glad you're ok. Going to bed after a possible concussion was risky as hell though.

[@stiggsmasta]

Golfholics was the first youtube golf channel i ever watched.

[@parkermedarb]

So pleased that you are ok Matt! So, you got cut off and lost control? Or they hit you without you seeing them, while travelling the same direction, on a highway that was being sparsely travelled in the early morning? And then they just kept going?

[@gstuart0770]

Keep up the hard work. Your quality videos will pay off soon. KZbin, hook him up.

[@ryanreeves5441]

I know what you mean about getting emotional about your truck. I had a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder that was my grand dad’s brand new, he passed it down to my dad when he got sick and couldn’t drive anymore, then my dad passed it down to me when my grand dad passed away. A guy turned out in front of me one night going home from work. I knew the truck was totaled as soon as I got out and looked at it, when I get home and go in my room I lock the door and start balling. My wife comes to check on me and all I can say is that was pawpaw’s truck and it’s gone.

[@ted_is_gaming]

Lincoln saved my life. Dude crashed into me and it's wild that i walked away with only a bloody nose. Passenger unharmed. He totaled my 2001 Lincoln town car but me and everyone else involved were unharmed. Luckily the guy that crashed into me immediately owned up and took blame so I'm very glad i didn't have to deal with a hit and run.

[@dukek8625]

I can't believe the Police didn't call an ambulance so the paramedics could check you out. In our state, police, fire, and EMT's are called to accident scenes. Concussions are a serious situation. God bless

[@mrshortgamepodcast]

They had one coming and I told them I didn't need it.

[@coreyjohnson7393]

So many ATL drivers suck…they cut in and out of traffic, high rates of speed, and no signals. The police / city for some reason doesn’t enforce enough and they just drive freaking nuts in that area. Tampa is just as bad too! It is ridiculous!

[@douglastaylor43]

Sad that you lost your truck.

[@globalmegabankNA]

Glad you’re ok Jesus .

[@homeofinventions]

Calling all cars. Calling all cars...

[@barronfinley3062]

Glad you are safe and on the mend!

[@shankedit65]

Unfortunately theyre not fixing a 1999 model

[@The_Osprey]

Truth be told a unibody vehicle SUV would have served you better as far as damage to your body goes. Body on frame trucks/suv's don't crumple and absorb energy. I will say that Toyota makes a helluva vehicle particularly their body on frame trucks and SUV's. My 2003 GX470 is literally a tank and everything works even with 325K miles on it. I was in a wreck in a 1987 Mercedes 300D sedan and it was literally a rock star. Mercedes has always been ahead of the game on safety. They invented the airbag and were the first to design a vehicle in a way that the engine supports would collapse in a head on collision sending the engine below the passenger compartment rather than back through it. I say upgrade and get a Lexus GX470 or Gx460. They are freakishly high quality, reliable and with lots of creature comforts even as far back as 2003.

[@jakecvma8571]

Good your good ; )

[@T35LA]

Not interested in private stuff. Nevertheless, recover swiftly.

[@stiggsmasta]

I dont want to find out if my 2019 corolla hatchback is safe.

[@johndomutz1052]

Not sure what you didn't go to the hospital first. At least you could have gotten x- rays and a preliminary diagnosis, then off to the other therapists. PS - is it too soon to swing clubs only one week out??? Please don't reinjured again.

[@bocajred11]

Not the 3rd gen!!!

[@billblankenship3424]

Reckless driver? You just described 90% of drivers on GA 400. Lol.

[@MattTheMadHatter]

I was hit by a drunk driver on the driver's side of my 2013 Subaru Outback on July 1st of this year. It saved my life. Not selling Subaru as a brand....but buy Subaru!

[@cilverc3454]

Was Sky w you?

[@globalmegabankNA]

Too bad all cars don’t have the drive Cam

[@davidpartridge9274]

Maybe the economy and illegal people driving with no insurance has caused rates to go up and people to drive without it. Maybe an uninsured legal or illegal person ran you off the road

[@AdamIsMyNameO]

The lord above? So when kids etc die in car wrecks… whose fault is that then ? Good grief…

[@mrshortgamepodcast]

Great question. Is it God, Satan, or an idiot on the road?
