But on this course, every player had to shoot a low score every day.
My 6-under par score from the qualifying round was only one stroke behind the leaders, so I was naturally disappointed by the restart. The leaderboard was wiped clean for the final 36 holes. Fawcett faltered, and despite his hole-in-one, Sullivan didn’t have a chance. The cameras were rolling as the ball bounced straight and disappeared into the hole, and the group celebrated. It was one of those shots that didn’t need any luck to go in.
Sullivan had struggled on the greens all day, but his shot on the 210-yard par-3 never left the flag. He recounted a heated Twitter exchange with CBS reporter Colt Knost during the Masters about optimal strategy on Augusta National’s 350-yard 3rd hole, known as “Flowering Peach.” As he described the interaction, it was evident Fawcett was going to be much happier without Twitter.įawcett played well and aggressively, and we both arrived on the 17th tee at 4 under par. I enjoy his company and his willingness to engage in conversation, no matter the subject. He had recently deleted his Twitter account and felt refreshed by the decision. I rode with Fawcett in the qualifying round. Jim Nantz opens the Masters broadcast with “hello, friends.” Good Good personality Tom "Bubbie" Broders opens the debut Good Good Championship video with, “Early morning. Your classic tournament goody box filled with tees, sunscreen, and energy bars, sat on the 1st tee. The Good Good team had the branded flags to accompany customized tee markers. “Nothing says ‘mini-tour event’ like those branded, feather flags around a putting green,” Ryan French, my colleague at Monday Q Info, has been known to say. Everyone who played a practice round, however, knew they would have to go low if they wanted to advance. If the greens became firm and fast, and the holes were cut in tricky places, the course might be protected. The fairways and greens are generous, and that invites aggressive play. The courses at Westin Kierland Resort are playable for all skill levels-interpret that as easy for pros. I joked I’d know the optimal strategy by watching what he hit off the tee all day. He texted me as soon as the pairings were released. I had never played with him but knew he was seriously working on his game for a run at the Champions Tour. Fawcett and I go way back, as he has helped me analyze PGA Tour tournament courses.

I was paired with Scott Fawcett, the founder of Decade Golf, and professional golfer, Ryan Sullivan. The guy who finished 12th would pocket about $1500. The format was an initial qualifying round after which 12 players would advance to a 36-hole tournament. The 63-player field was filled by golf personalities and full-time professional golfers. One of Dylan’s famous lyrics came to mind: “When you ain’t got nothing, you ain’t got nothing to lose.” I signed.

The other competitors and I would be sworn to secrecy until the results of the tournament were released in a series of videos on YouTube. I had never had to sign an NDA to enter a golf tournament, and that gave me pause. Before I knew it, I was reading a non-disclosure agreement from the tournament. It was one continuous take, a couple of minutes in length without any production value just earnestness sprinkled with a toddler’s charm. Until Kwon joined the team, I was ignorant of the audience devoted to YouTube golf personalities and their content.Įarly one morning in March, while my son, Miles, cuddled with me on the couch, I made an application video for the Good Good Championship. That hobby eventually landed him on the team at Good Good Golf. Kwon was a rising professional golfer with a videography hobby. I knew of Good Good Golf because of Luke Kwon, a professional golfer who I first met in Hong Kong during a PGA Tour China event in late 2018. Hopeful competitors filled out an application and sent introductory videos explaining why they should be chosen for the 63-player competition.

Good Good’s mission for the event was to find the next great tour pro and support his journey. It introduced the tournament-to its following of well over a million-earlier this year as a no-entry-fee event, with a $100,000 purse.
The company hosted the inaugural Good Good Championship last month at the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz. The latest messages, however, were about a series of YouTube videos by Good Good Golf. Usually that means I’ve played well in a tournament or written a stirring article. In recent weeks, I’ve received a lot of messages. Are you comfortable hitting golf shots in front of a camera? What about multiple cameras? What if you knew that a million sets of eyes might be watching your every swing?
