​@@outlander234I have been watching Rick for years. You can not seriously believe that Ricky is in the same ball park as Peter Finch. Am I trying to say he's in our ball park? Not on your life. Rick is closer to Bryson than a scratch muni player is to Rick. But let's face it, Rick hasn't gotten better in any real sense in a long time. His yardages are probably 20 yards back from Peter. And he does not have the short game or the accuracy to save himself. Rick should be focusing on fairways, greens in regs and 2 putts. But instead, he wants to take Tiger shots, and club down, thinking he can swing his dick with the rest of em, and makes excuses when he comes up short

[@boboman-98]

If the tour wants to legitimize this event, the field likely needs to skew more heavily in favor of the better golf content creators to keep it somewhat related to their brand. You have to factor in that this is a live production. I’m not sure how appealing it would be to watch a Steve from GG or BDS hack it around live for four hours considering the pace of play was already abysmally slow just for the last hole shootout to be the most engaging part of the broadcast. Love the thought of having the heavier personalities on the mic though.

And as much as the Rick fans don't want to swallow it. Ricks game is much closer to Steve from GG or cold cuts from BDS, than it is to the Bryan Bros or brad dalke. Rick dreams of their games.

[@codybryant8458]

I personally think Ricks exclusion from the event was not about lack of skill (they had Tyler Toney there for goodness sake), I believe it was more about Ricks tendency to critique everything on a podcast! This was hyped up, and made a big deal… so why bring Rick in, and have his next podcast be a Guy and Rick what could they do better show? Just my opinion, but I think they didn’t want negative publicity! Ricks recent driver fitting is a perfect example of what the CC didn’t want!

[@jordaneimer2873]

Tyler toney was there because the PGA couldn't miss on a dude perfect opportunity. Rick and his pull are ants compared to dude perfects elephant.

[@codybryant8458]

I agree… that is really my point! Skill was obviously not the deciding factor! Tyler is average at best, but he draws a huge following and it will be hyped even more from DP…. With Rick it would have been picked apart instead of complemented! Ricks “honesty” is his own worst enemy sometimes!

[@theythinkimmadyouknow]

Look at Ricks content, its just lazy rehashing or novelty posts. Illegal clubs, self launching drivers, content others did a year ago such as green reading goggles.

Similar to Guy, I hated the format when I heard it but actually really liked it when watching. The playoff hole & 4-person cut gave great competition down the stretch and an exciting finish of the top golfers all together for one hole. Some things for next time: - Maybe expand to 6 foursomes (but no more as 16 was pretty perfect timing) - Broaden coverage - after the opening tee shots, it felt like the Wesley Bryan show; I figured they would show most shots since they only did four groups - Just make Joel Dahmen the host 😆 He’s so good - Should have had more of the lead-in with the pros-all of the behind the scenes content that came out was phenomenal and could have enhanced the broadcast

Two general comments: (1) It is too bad Grant Harvard couldn't make it, and (2) For the future, as much as I really enjoy him, I would rule Wesley Bryant out since he does actually plan on the tour. One thing not mentioned and maybe could make it more even for the male creators that have a handicap is to play three tees, not just the two that they played.

I do like you aswell Rick I just think you're not as good a golfer as you think. It could be because you're a busy father to young children and very busy with your channel and been a celebrity that you simply haven't time for really enjoying golf without a camera been present. I'd love to know what you'd score on a course of your choice over 2 rounds ( one with the camera and all the commentary that goes with it and one without where its just you and your thoughts on how to play in the present. I think you're lost in the transition between making money ( nothing wrong with that ) and enjoying a round of golf for the love of it and the satisfaction it gives you personally rather than entertaining you're subscribers. Acknowledge and respect defeat and victory. Know your boundaries and limits. But most importantly, never forget who you are and where you came from. Just some pointers that a very old woman gave to me once. The best advice I ever received in my whole life.

Maybe get 4 or 5 groups of the near tour level players, then have 1 or 2 groups of the pretty good players all playing scratch. I always laugh at the idea of having 1 average person compete in the Olympics just to show how truly impressive the elite are. If Bob from Bob does sports got to play East Lake I think we could truly see the challenge that tour pros face. This wasn’t meant to pick on Bob as I know he is a way better golfer than I am, just using him as an example of a very entertaining personality who would enjoy the challenge. The group or groups of the lower skilled golfers could come up with great content while truly showcasing how much harder professional courses are than good courses across the country.
