[@BryanBrosGolf]

Come on guyssss I can’t help I got hot last year!! KZbinr through and through 🤙🏼🙌🏻. Love u guys :)

[@smbonna]

I guess 10 years of you tube content isn't enough to make you a legit "KZbin creator". 🤷‍♂

[@EdwardSnowYen]

Yes, he was very off base about this. A lot of people don't realize how much live streaming you have done as well.

[@Rubbatube]

I heard it as a compliment. That you're above the level of youtube golf and in the league of being pro. Don't think they were saying that you're content/"youtubestatus" is lacking. I'ma view it as a positive, rather than negative :) Was really fun watching your POV on the comp. except for that last hole :P

[@evers_mhvn4264]

Rick thought he was getting an invite 😂 On a level - thought Peter Finch’s video was outstanding.

[@theoakhills]

the BEST...on YT. Angle and no bs between shots. The caddy verb was on point.

Petes channel is the best golf channel right now imo. Killing it.

did rick say he was expecting an invite in the full podcast cause this clip didnt mention it

[@laronda10]

George is a genuine youtuber who just happens to have one of the best swings on the planet.

[@jimecherry]

your omitting the part of george also being an actual professional golfer whose at least comparable to kft or sunshine tour players in terms of handicap

[@christopheraudino-realesta1945]

Pretty harsh to say George Bryan isn't a "real" youtuber... been grinding at this and growing the youtube golf as much as anyone - I'd assume BryanBros is at least top ten worldwide for golf channels/creators. At least from an influence perspective. The fact that he's pretty clearly the best golfer out of creators doesn't make him less of a creator in my opinion.

[@mloney9772]

I think it was meant as a compliment. Talent wise he is closer to a tour player than a KZbin player.

[@september7917pm]

You could say Rick isn’t a real golfer 🤣🤣

[@johnmatenko9503]

He meant like he’s made a tour cut he’s not just only a KZbin golfer

[@pwill6138]

I don’t think they made that comment disrespectfully; it was more of a compliment on his golf game. Clearly he’s an amazing KZbinr and content creator, but his golf game is a step above and on par with other tour pros. I’m pretty sure that was the intended takeaway from the comment.

[@markushayes]

You sound like a heavily invested fan boy. 😅

[@brucebudnek7661]

Guys, please understand that the Pros who played in The Myrtle Beach Q event are mostly South Carolina pros. That was intended to help bring more SC “locals” eyes to the Q and eventually sell more tickets to the event.

[@Ethan-rl8bf]

We hardly have locals anymore it’s the northeast’s storage center

[@JretnuH]

@@Ethan-rl8bfespecially in horry county. Actually crazy

[@Kedbuka]

Good point

[@noworriesman]

Exactly. George has played PGA tour events and Bryan bros are sponsored by the "golf myrtle beach" organization or whatever. He didn't get the exemption because of the match, it's because everything else. Local, pga player

[@OblivionYouTube]

Petes round was such a good show of his physical and mental ability. Such a good round to watch

[@ryrysmoke1426]

Shoutout to Guy for knowing the difference between a scratch golfer and a proper professional. As a really good golfer compared to almost all players and currently pursuing the pro side, the difference in playing normally and trying to play/qualify for opens is immense. The 77 by Grant or the 76 by Dan on a full length, championship style course, on a championship setup course is better than a lot of people realize. I myself played in the standard P-Qualifier and went out and shot a 73 in the practice round in "normal" conditions at TPC Myrtle without ever seeing the course. This would beat nearly every person that sees this video in their first time playing the course. I followed that with a round of 84 in the actual pre-qualifier despite not playing that much worse. The small changes in the course setup, the preparation, and everything around a qualifier like this is a lot bigger than people realize. Even guys who would shoot under par regularly at their home courses would shoot over 80 a majority of the time in these qualifiers despite playing to their standard. All in all, the home course scratch golfer and the high-level KZbin golfers versus the legitimate career tour pros is a whole lot bigger than most realize.

[@Lovetheducks]

George is from South Carolina he deserved an invite. George is exceptional golfer his only issue is between his ears. I’m glad George got the invite.

[@gregthegoatostertag8579]

If he had Wes’ mind, he’d be a problem

[@Lovetheducks]

@@gregthegoatostertag8579 absolutely would be a multitude time pga tour winner. You can just see him over thinking shots putting doubt in his head. Where Wes once he decides to hit a shot he’s committed never second guess etc. George has all the shots there is no need for him to second guess himself. See the shot then hit it. It’s hard because I’m such a huge George fan I want him to succeed so bad. He just has to get out of his own head.

[@Drillbitayler]

Well, to be fair, EVERY guy who's not on tours problem is between the ears. You'd be amazed how many guys have PGA level games when there's no pressure. I'd dare say it might be over 10x the number of guys on Tour currently. But soooo many can't handle the pressure. I don't think George though is that far off. He just needs a good couple of days and a switch will flip. P.s. I see this in myself all the time haha. I'm not a great golfer, great round is high 70s, terrible is low 90s. But still, anytime I have to play though a group of 4 dudes, I almost always shank it into the woods xD can't handle even a few eyeballs watching me lol don't know how the pros do it.

[@Lovetheducks]

@@Drillbitayler I played thru college even on hooters tour for a year. I can say from experience not everyone that doesn’t make it is because of their mental games it’s always a variety of things but usually it’s putting and or the short game. I’m as mentally tough as they come I couldn’t make it because I couldn’t hit a reliable draw and my putting was streaky to be nice. I honestly believe as Wes started making a name it sort of put George on the back burner and he sort of took a supporting role for Wesley instead making a name of his own. Ultimately don’t matter because Bryan bros one of the best channels on KZbin he’s a great guy and seems genuinely happy with his life as he should and that’s all that matters.

[@johnnybird7593]

George has lived his life in his brothers shadow. Which is clearly shown by his indecision and low self confidence when he plays....

[@ryanschultz4119]

It was quite revealing whose golf game's held up, and whose crumbled under legit tournament pressure. I was so proud of @PeterFinch !💯 +1 doesn't even do the way he played justice. Pete got some very bad breaks/bounces. But kept his composure. And it was nice to hear George Bryan received a qualifying spot despite losing in the playoff. Also thought Finchie's team did an amazing job producing stellar content!

[@jonnyconstable322]

Nice to hear Guy speak nicely of Pete for a change

[@emboy1232]

Of all the YT golf content creators at Myrle Beach ,Peter Finch impressed me the most. His game has obviously lifted to a new level this year. And George B is mostly a YT content creator ,and he occasionally does 'Q schools' as part of his content creation.

[@aussie5941]

Your big pal did us all proud. Well done, Peter Finch.

[@colebaker___]

It’s not really fair to say that George isn’t a real youtuber. He’s been doing KZbin videos for 10 years going back to the truck shot days. Wesley has been more involved recently, but George has been the guy that has gotten that channel to where it is now. Yes he’s a tremendous golfer, but that shouldn’t take away from anything that he’s achieved on youtube.

[@altie29]

I think all they were trying to say was that he is not the same caliber player as other "youtube golfers" and that he is more similar to a tour professional. He made the cut in a PGA TOUR which none of the "youtubers" could ever dream of

[@bikesnbeats]

he never said George "isn't a real youtuber". He literally said George is "an amazing golfer who has a KZbin channel". But if you wanna twist his words and make it sound like he has it in for George go ahead. He also never said anything that takes away from what George has achieved on KZbin. If anything one could compare the Bryan Bros channel more directly to Bryson DeChambeau's channel, both channels are made by people who were firstly great golfers that chose to make videos for KZbin.

[@joelafives]

I really liked your comments Rick. Less so Guy.

[@davidlum8313]

I thought it was fair giving George B. an exemption. He was leading and ended up tying after the end of regulation and lost in the playoff. To me, it was just like a PGA Tour event Monday qualifier. One day, one round and the best score gets in.

[@AlastairBarker]

SO HE LOST END OF.

[@EdgarJFeliz]

The Myrtle Beach Q was great watch, the additional content has been great!

[@chasingsundaes4818]

I watch more youtube golf than pro golf for a very simple reason. Its the delivery of the content and its how much more personable it is. Youre in the cart with the players, youre hearing their thoughts, not only seeing but hearing their reactions to their shots, youre riding the emotions with them… if pro golf were delivered the same, Id watch more of it. Pro golf is too sterile and thats why youtube golf is so good to me. I honestly got a little bored with the Myrtle beach post because it didnt have those aspects as much as a normal youtube video.

[@ThatDrivingBeatLeeds]

Guys take on most of it discussed is a bit weak. Rick and Pete didn't start out as KZbinrs......they were literally golf pros. So you can't just call George Bryan out and say he's a golfer with a Yt channel - what does that make your boss? He didn't throw Luke Kwon into that bracket either(?)

[@texaswelderrmowelding1837]

It was a compliment man, read a room

[@Goonertopcat]

I just love the banter between everyone when they play and the little digs on their cameras, but I think all of yous should have a you tube major later on in the year

[@HackedOut]

No surprise to see Rick give Pete his flowers, it’s what good mates do, as well as taking the piss when the time is right. There’s a reason that Ricks game is elevated when he plays someone who isn’t going to reward a poor shot, no one wants that. Pete, along with other players, have not hesitated to call out the shit. We all need that. It’s up to Guy to be better in that role. If it’s shite, it’s shite, do better. There’s space for all the YT guys and more anyway, I can’t get enough of it and watch as much as I can. Love all of them for different reasons.

[@howardkennerley4679]

[@darrenhill3514]

I've played some pro-am's, one of which was up in Keystone, CO and those greens were relentless...even the pro's said they were some of the most difficult greens they've ever played. I was happy with my 102 lol I'm a -12 handicap so going from your normal style course to a pro-am that has been extra pampered is unbelievably difficult. Not that FP or those guys couldn't have shot better but they didn't and it just shows how difficult it really is to enter the pro tour...you have to be able to match your score at a standard course within a couple of strokes at a pro manicured course and from the tips.

[@JohnnyGB]

Grant I think was one that fell to the pressure. He has done mini tour events in which both I believe he was under par and placed top 5-7 in those events. Pressure affects a lot of games and you even saw some tour pros struggled.

Frankly, the KZbin challenge is a great idea and great marketing for both the course and the game of golf. TV Rating are down across golf. But we have an explosion of interest on KZbin for lessons, reviews of products, you name it. And look the interest in this challenge. New ways to communicate with the audience who love golf is a good thing for the game of golf and its fans.

Nice honesty Rick. Predicting your possible score. The pressure would have been extreme.

[@shawnmichajluk2044]

George Bryan may be a great golfer now, but his focus on making KZbin videos over the years and training helped him improve to his current level. He was a very good golfer a few years ago when I started watching his channel. He has improved since then.

[@JacksonColeGolfs]

Man I struggled with Guys take here, he was always going to be negative. The whole event was incredible. The creators next year have a real shot. Experience will help them.

[@blomster4304]

His take is also based on ignorance. Listening to the Myrtle Beach guy they clearly wanted a youtuber, but the PGA Tour forced them to include the pros.

[@Luke-uw6dp]

Outside of George Bryan, there is 0 chance any KZbin golfer beats a kornferry golfer in an actual sanctioned tournament that counts every stroke and penalty strokes. No amount of experience will help them. They're simply not good enough and never will be good enough as the people who make a living doing this.

[@Shot_by_Stu]

It’s nothing to do with ignorance. Do you think they really want some KZbinr turning upto a pga event, missing the cut by 20 shots and wasting a spot they could have given to someone who can actually play?

George is more of a youtuber than Guy is. Fact.

[@SM-zc1uj]

Giving George Bryan an exemption is a no brainer even though he lost in the playoff. Not only is George a great player but much like Rick, he just comes off as one of the best dudes in the world. I love golf but even before the divide with Liv and PGA, with so many competing sports I can say that I rarely watch outside of the majors or Ryder/Presidents cup. You put George Bryan in an event, I am watching his first two rounds (hopefully 4) 100%

[@marksnow2277]

Whether it's the PGA or KZbin the fans still see golf as a competitive sport. So the "who is better" question definitely still matters. That's why the KZbin match videos between content creators are so highly watched. Not only do we get to see the creators that we enjoy, but we get to see the competitive aspect as well. I think it definitely matters to fans - and to be honest, I think it matters even MORE to the creators as competitors whether it be the score or the production itself. We're still going to watch everyone's channel no matter who wins, but that doesn't mean that we don't want to see who is better on that day, at that specific course, etc.

[@rodconner9079]

I thought it was absolutely BRILLIANT of MB Golf!!! Even # of Pro Golfers vs Content Creators that do well in golf. Several CC's done very well against those who "know" (and have experienced qualifying) PGA pressures. George should have had it but that's golf --- same goes for Peter .... but that's golf. Anyone of you guys, including Rick could shoot a score to qualify...... and we know that!!! Honestly -- it was promotion, mostly for YTgolfCCers ... and MB Golf. : )

Sounds like sour grapes...It was a lot of fun!

[@williammurphy2324]

I believe that the main question answered by a gimmick such as this, or perhaps the main purpose.....was to see how our guys (youtube players) would stack up to tour pros. And in truth, I would periodically like to see more of those kinds of videos. I perceived it as a win all around.

[@_Mr.Youtube]

I really like this podcast, it’s super wordy. I find myself needing to 2x the playback speed just to get to the point.

[@geo_golf73]

Not sure if anyone has brought up that George, Wesley, and Matt Atkins are really good friends- Matt has been in several Bryan Bros videos (Scott Stevens is also a good friend of theirs that was in the field). I have not played in a PGA Tour event, or even a Monday qualifier, but I learned real quick by playing on a few mini-tours that tournament golf and a casual round of golf are two different animals, so I understand why some of the scores were as high as they were.

[@pessimysticism]

It's been pointed out that the exemptions normally are handed out to local club players who might have won the most tournaments at the club that year... It's not like it's been stripped from some grinding lower tour player... Also I would like to point out that George Bryan was "in first place" at the end of 18 holes... So was another chap, yes, but being in first place after 18 holes merits reward...

[@derekjohnson7013]

I strongly believe Myrtle needed to use the KZbinrs editing and production help. They surely had more than enough time to make the quality better.

[@chads3233]

I believe all these guys have the game and the ability to work the ball but it’s a package deal. A player that has the game and a good caddie will do much better than 99% trying to manage all the emotions and course management alone. The caddie will help manage the players emotions and course management by knowing where to hit the ball on an approach and the best position on the green and then being able to put that information to the player. It was great still watching these guys trying to do their best with the tools they had on a hard course.

[@gypsyjazzfest]

Very interesting to hear these points! As a big fan of KZbin Golf, I found the whole thing fascinating! Peter Finch is definitely good enough to have won the Q and also to place fairly high in the tournament itself. His mental game and swing have gone to another level. Nice to hear some appreciation for him. Grant also has the game but he is accustomed to talking through every shot to a KZbin audience on camera as opposed to grinding in tournament conditions. Having his best friend as caddy might not be the move next time. He should get a local caddy veteran who knows the course and hit it where the caddy tells him and trust his own gut on club selection and short game. My two cents ! Nice to see Micah take full ownership of his mental errors in his follow up vid and get more serious about his pre-shot routine. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@stevenray8022]

I watch for good pairings and the chemistry of the players together. I enjoy your contests with Pete because of the banter and history and never think more or less about the quality of your content or street crede regardless of the score or who wins. I actually watched a lot of the match and enjoyed it. I wish they could of gotten to show more of the players character and maybe hung with a players through a few shots. If you didn't know them already you didn't learn much in the coverage. . A lot of shots to fit in though. Thanks for the work guys

[@GabrielTPT]

Rick wouldn't have broken 90 in Myrtle Beach.

[@juiceqc7716]

GB4 played D1 SEC golf. He is both a genuine KZbinr, decent golfer and a great human being. He earned that call up. Matt Atkins is indeed a KFT winner, played D1 SEC golf and is (I think) South Carolina resident. He's a regular with Wesley on BBG TV. FP played D3 golf. I think it showed. Pete did really well and they missed a trick not inviting Rick. Hope they address that next year b'c as a viewer it worked for me. The two best golfers on the day went through.

[@TG-mt6ke]

Very honest assessment of yourself rick. We all know u can score well but i agree i think with the pressure you'd be on that 7 over bracket

[@mike17825]

I would say most ppl watch YT golfers mainly for entertainment and the banter between players rather than wanting to see top tier golf being played, however if they’re entertaining and also a strong golfer, it’s a bonus ie Jimmy Bullard. Fun to watch and a great player, then there’s yourself, enjoyable to watch and a good player.

[@ericmiller8323]

The greens, and in particular some of the pin placements were a level or two harder than most of the content creators typically play. To me that was what accounted for the high scores.

I watched that, and some of the greens and flag positions were ridiculous. There was one flag on a ridge, if you touched the ball it ran past 15 yards, 10 yards off the green. I am a 13 handicapper, floating between 11 and 14, for 3 years now. I think anywhere under 90 would be a great score for me, with those tree lines, distances, and super fast greens (12 on the stimp?)

[@ericpatterson906]

This was the best event of the year. Enjoyed it more than PGA tourneys. George Bryan is def a KZbin golfer

[@RobJaskula]

I was rooting for FP to break 80 and not finish last - he shot 81 and beat two of the others, and was a couple shots off Grant and Kwon who I consider much better "actual" golfers. He beat Micah by 5! FP has good mental game. That had to be really hard going 250 off the tee every hole and trying to keep up!

[@mtbartlett]

In one of the videos from Play Golf Myrtle Beach, they mentioned the PGA Tour had certain criteria even for the KZbinrs. They were supposed to have a scratch or a plus handicap index to be eligible to play. Does Cole Lantz and FP have plus index's? I'd assume so, just saying there were some stipulations on who was even eligible to be invited. I don't think we're going to see Coldcuts, Bob, etc playing in this tournament. I think LIV should do something similar with all creators. So what if they shoot well over par at the LIV event, they'd play 3 rounds and get more publicity. I hope next year they invite the public/sell tickets. Having played TPC Myrtle Beach many times, I'd love to see the top creators out there playing.

[@pendergasti2744]

Having a discussion on what someone would do based on handicap vs micah morris is wild. The same way you can't compare a casual round vs a round with cameras. There is a huge difference between someone who maintains a 0-2 handicap playing from 7000 yards regularly vs someone who plays 6000 yards while maintaining a 0-2 handicap.

[@patface]

Micah’s not posting his video that’s for sure, lol

[@duckz3099]

I think next year they should do this again. But, they should take 16 Content Creators and they face off with the top 6 moving onto the actual qualifier. 10 Korn Ferry Tour Pros and 6 Content Creators so if one creator does win, its 1000 percent earned. And, adds a electric first round of all Content Creators. Can even do the Top 20-30 content creators and top 6 make it, make it rly interesting.

Yes, the content creator would theoretically get dusted in the Myrtle Beach tour event, but the question isn't "Does it matter" or "Wouldn't that be bad?" I think the fans want to see their boys go out and compete with the pros, and the other casual fans would be interested to see how a "normal/good" golfer would do in a PGA event. Even if they shoot 85-85 and miss the cut, we all want to see that unfold on the actual PGA tour.

A scratch golfer shoots 72 on a easy course once in five rounds. If you shoot 68 at the local Pete Dye course in my town then you are a +6 or +7. Micah needed to leave his driver in the hotel room

[@markygstar1748]

you do know whoever came 2nd in this event was always getting an invite aswell!

[@Gigity1107]

I think it was a great idea to have a mix of youtubers and pros. If a youtuber didn't win it and a regular pro did, then so be it. The best player on the day won and thats how it should be.

[@castnoshadow82lr48]

You’ve only got to look at the field in a major players shoot 10 over on relatively short open courses but those guys don’t get coverage we just look at the leaderboards golf is very tough we all know that

[@toddgilligan]

I have always said this. Come to my course(tree lined, 20 yards fairways. Water and outbounds on both sides) and scratch golfers would shoot 10 over everytime.

[@gavincharvey33]

As much as i do listen to and appreciate ricks thorough ,unbiased content and opinions he would have undoubtedly finished last, no doubt at all.

[@jonhayes2570]

Hi guys, love Rick’s channel and some of the content is unrivalled - really pushing the envelope. Avid listener of the pod. One comment is that I think at times Guy can be quite negative and a bit chirpy. I remember when Pete came on the pod a year or so ago and Guy was quite negative to Pete. Rick has pushed the envelope and industry leading, I just think Guy needs to wind it in a bit. Love the pod, love the channel - just grates a bit. Especially when talking down other KZbinrs. It’s meant to be a community and I’m not sure Guy should talk down about other channels/creators

[@golfbike]

Industry leading??? 😂😂😂😂

[@ThatDrivingBeatLeeds]

Not just the conditions of pressure of what's at stake, but the course was in PGA conditions. Rapid greens, green first cut rough is tight, fairway rough grown out etc. Totally different to what the YT boys are used to

[@stevenholmdahl1162]

"How do you actually shot 14 over par"...Hmm...Rick can answer that himself...He did the same in a ProAm in Spain on a Resort Course.

[@GarethJB]

He didn’t say that

[@m.d.8721]

you´re taking his words our of context bro ... thats not what he said. "how did he shoot 14 over" in the sense of "how did those 14 over play out"

[@jasonwhite6061]

We watch because it's great personalities playing good golf on beautiful courses. Keep the YT content coming. It's so much more enjoyable than the stodgy PGA/LIV.

[@Ddonaldson9]

As many others have said, hard-disagree with Guy on his characterization of George...yes he made a PGA tour cut, but it's the only professional round he's played since 2018. He is clearly grinding YT, not the tour. I do agree that I think it would have been a better event if it was all creators and no pro's.

[@OhioSpurs]

This was forgetting the fact that George made the cut at a Tour event this season, which is more than any of the “pros” that were in the video. George 100% deserves that spot.

[@davidgordon4386]

The best creator is DOD king. Those guys so funny.

[@missiez368]

Grant, Bryson, BryanBros etc.. attracts the new younger generation of followers that actually care abut competitive golf, improving their game and being healthy. Rick and Pete attracts the older generation of UK fans that play Sunday golf and hang out in the pub

[@Art-gq7ul]

Bryan Bro’s and Grant Horvath have the best golf content.

[@Hatori64]

nah rick dodges competitions like no tomorrow

[@williamflanjack6438]

I think they were going to invite whatever content creator finished highest in the qualifier no matter what

[@PieknyWojtek]

The idea of having only youtubers qualifying event doesn't really make sense. The whole idea was to let them compete with real pros and see who will qualify.

[@castnoshadow82lr48]

I know a lad who plays on the tour you talk of he used to be a member at my club as a junior amazing player and can score under pressure. The top county players are great but playing under that kind of pressure to qualify for your events is their World Cup final very few will deliver the 5 under on the day. I rarely play to my 5 handicap in my club champs let alone that level

[@davidgraham8058]

Exactly. Pressure situations is where it counts. Anyone can hit the ball like a scratch golfer in practice or at the range. The top players can do it in back to back rounds every week. It’s ridiculous talent.

[@sylvandude1]

Imagine if Bryson De Chambeau won a spot being a KZbinr!! lol, Padraig also has a great channel!

[@KeepUpTheFPS]

I personally like that they went 8 creator 8 pros because if a youtuber wins you know its because they are actually good and can look decent during a PGA event but if you put 16 creators its way more open to criticism especially if they shoot a bad score at the event itself after but now you can say hey they might have a bad event but they did beat other pros to get there. Matt Atkins is a really good golfer so even tying him to me brings legitimacy to it this qualifier instead of just looking like a pure marketing thing.

[@MaStars22]

George made the cut in his first PGA event he played in, has a PGA caliber player that has a KZbin channel. not the other way round.

[@wkndwarrior4733]

I like they included pros in the event. Having all YTBRs would seem unfair that why do these YT guys get a chance. With a half pro field it legitimizes the placement if a YTBR were to win. George clearly was in a place to win, hits a very good shot on 18 and it rolls out more than anyone expected
