re: Grant and Michah leaving Good Good

Micah sign with TaylorMade.

Wait, what??? I thought he was all Cobra?

I like Grant's content the best. Humble guy who just wants to get better and typically plays pretty decent.

ETA: TM is kicking the competition in sponsorships. They got Fore Play and now the two better players from GG.

They all swapped. Garrett was with Mizuno and left for Callaway along with the rest of the GG group. Grant was full Mizuno too and and as you mentioned Micah was with Cobra. I think Titleist signed with No Laying Up too, so it seems all the major manufacturers signed these youtube content creators in a flurry.

Agreed Grant is the best out of all of them. He's the most relatable and super down to earth. GG was awesome previously, but they do too much cheesy stuff for me, like intertwining Call of Duty and golf, etc.

The 2v2 Micah and Grant did recently with Sam Bennett who won last year's amateur championship was probably my favorite video I've watched. Now that Grant and Micah are with TM, I'm looking forward to seeing them create content with some of TM's pros, there's certainly a ton of big names to choose from.

i'm the opposite of you. I like all the non-traditional competition from GG. I hate the overproduced crap that Callaway and TM forces on their groups. Most of the time when PGA pros show up, they don't really play golf (see foreplay and GG's 13 pros).

Agreed. The only youtuber I can think of than consistently gets actual touring pros to play much "real golf" is Rick Sheils. He had a full 18 with Rickie last week at Medalist, has had rounds with Nick Faldo, Tommy Fleetwod, Lee Westwood, Adam Scott, and gets other DP Tour players on as well. He also plays world famous courses and does club reviews, which no one else really does like he does. Probably why he has almost 2.5 million subs to his channel and is getting 500k-million views for most of his content

GG had a thing with Bryson for a little while, and I know Micah/Grant have filmed some 6 hole matches recently with him. And GG just did a 9 hole match with Rickie. But most of all of their stuff is with college golfers (many not even really "good" college golfers), junior amateurs, and other youtube content creators. That will probably change with everyone getting these deals but I don't see them playing a ton of full matches with touring pros either.

These quirky formats are them just trying to avoid their content getting stale, which I think is an issue a lot of youtube golfers run into. If they had 1 or two formats on repeat, people would probably stop watching because no one wants to watch the same people play each other in the same formats every time a video is released, especially when only a couple members of the group now are actually good at golf.

Think about Zac Radford. He basically has the same video and format every time and releases content every single week. He only has 120k subs and his videos get less than 10k views. He's actually a good golfer, but his content gets boring.

Even look at Foreplay's subscriptions. They have a quarter of what GG has because most of their content is just bad golfers playing stroke and match play. It's so infrequent that they have their Kisner type videos that people aren't subscribing at the same volume to watch all their videos. Most of their content has less than 10k views.

The No Laying Up video playing alternate shot with Spieth and JT was pretty sweet.

BDS has just signed on with Callaway too.

Look for more cross videos with GG

Give the Good Good guys credit for improving. Other than Steve that is…

Matt and Bubbie were both 10+ handicaps a year ago and I bet Matt is like a 2 now and Bubbie is damn near the best player in the group now, he’s gotta be scratch

Not a chance. Neither have the short game to be there. They also play in so many scrambles that you don’t remember their bad holes. Whenever they do stroke play formats, neither ever break 80 and are usually shooting in the high 80s. Bubbie can hit crazy shots but can also make a quad at any time.

In their most recent video, yes Matt holed out on 18. But he also topped and/or hit 5-6 shots OB during the round. I’d bet he and Bubbie are both 8-10 handicaps

quote:

I bet Bubbie is shooting better than that these days

Bubbie has come a long way controlling his drives, but his game inside 100 yards is still pretty bad

quote:

---

How Matt and Steven still stink astounds me. They play way too much golf to be that bad.

I used to play with a guy who was bar none the best at hitting his irons of anyone I’ve ever seen.

Saw him hit 18 greens in a tournament and none of them were outside 10 feet.

6 3 putt bogies, 6 pars, 6 birdies. He tried everything and just couldn’t putt to save his life. Worked hard at it, just couldn’t do it.

So you never know why someone doesn’t get better with practice.
