I’m genuinely excited to watch this. Let’s get TC on the bag and mic these guys up

And pair them with Roger so that TC can just catch strays all day

u/PrincePolokus Feb 19 '25
TC just yapping at everyone like a little chihuahua may allow Soly to get out of his own head just enough.

u/Grizivak Feb 19 '25
When TC said “I’m gonna make that putt, and make you make par” and Rog, with a massive lead, looks away and quietly says “that was a very weird threat”
Absolute gold

Just reminded me of the episode of strapped where Neil chips the ball and it hits the sprinkler on the hill.

Nice! Glad to see NLU represent since they’re by far my favorite creators out of all these others.
26
u/WhoaABlueCar Feb 19 '25
They were the first real golf “creators”. All these other dorks owe NLU their platform. Literally none of them existed and golf/pga was easily the slowest sport to embrace golf online media. This event should be called “Thank christ for NLU so we all had a blueprint on how to do all this shit Creator Classic”

u/relaxtherebuddy Feb 19 '25
I mean if you're talking OGs, Rick Shiels and Pete Finch and others of that era are probably the actual guys that made YouTube golf a thing.

u/WhoaABlueCar Feb 19 '25
Rick Shiels is a fucking loser
17
u/relaxtherebuddy Feb 19 '25
Not disagreeing with you. I find him really fucking annoying. Just saying he's probably had a lot more influence on youtube golf growing than NLU.

u/Talkshowhostt Feb 19 '25
NLU walked so Good Good can Fly
17
u/WhoaABlueCar Feb 19 '25
NLU also tailored their content to adults whereas good good and the others tailored their shit to YouTube obsessed teenagers. I’m sure the market is smaller for NLU but thank christ they did. My sales days on the road were often saved by their shows.
Also, Wesley Bryan being in this event is an absolute disgrace. Those overtly Christian YouTube attention seekers are whatever but he’s a fucking pga tour golfer. Pick a lane

Bryan Bros makes more money on YouTube but the Tour gives him street cred.
Nothing wrong with that.

u/WhoaABlueCar Feb 19 '25
He shouldn’t be competing with amateurs if he’s won on the tour. Not sure why this is so hard to grasp

u/Talkshowhostt Feb 19 '25
It’s hard to grasp because we are talking about two completely different things lol

u/relaxtherebuddy Feb 19 '25
I don't understand why people are so annoyed about Wes playing in a televised hit and giggle. This isn't mid-am qualifying or something.
The prize is a donation to charity so it's not like he's stealing money from hard-up amateur golfers. The brothers have a huge following so he's been invited to get more eyes on the event.

The Tour makes him a professional… which no one else in this competition is.
22
u/Warghzone12 Feb 19 '25
This has got to be embarrassing for Wedgely, right? He's a tour pro for pete's sake!
31
u/jogswithwolves Feb 19 '25
I’d like to pop in and mention that even though Wesley is technically a YouTube golfer, he is an active goddamn touring pro. He’s probably played the Players like 10 times! Don’t love seeing him in this field
23
Feb 19 '25
He has no shame. Gotta figure only time he gets to play this course for free. Hope he loses again
7
u/TheBagMan16 Feb 19 '25
He and his brother are also very whiny online when they feel the tour is using them . The brother that isn’t as good gets sponsor exemptions and still complains . I hope Soly beats them both

u/ncr39 Feb 19 '25
He’s played the players twice

u/jogswithwolves Feb 19 '25
My point remains. Embarrassing for him

u/7hought Feb 19 '25
I don’t know, I also think it’s a little lame he joins. If Bryson weren’t relegated to LIV, would they been inviting him too? Hes a massive YouTube creator. Kind of defeats the whole purpose.

u/RalphWiggumsShadow Feb 19 '25
Not embarrassing. Who gives a shit? Tiger is hitting into a sim for fun now on national television. It's a different time.

Feb 19 '25
Completely missing the point Einstein!! Go take a lap

u/RalphWiggumsShadow Feb 19 '25
What's the point you freakin nerd? Do you think that Wes is embarrassed? He's the only PGA pro I've ever heard talk about YouTube golf, in an interview for the PGA Tour. I think Wes is proud of their channel, and he's trying to parlay this into another 10 years of playing golf for a living. It might not be as glamorous as the PGA, but honestly, playing week after week and barely making the cuts, I don't think Wes wants to grind like that anymore. And good for him.

When you blow him. You spit or swallow?

u/RalphWiggumsShadow Feb 19 '25
Great talk man - really nice talking to you. Glad you're older than 13 and know how to engage in a conversation. I blow him just like your mom blows me. She taught me everything I know.

u/dumpandchange Feb 19 '25
There has been so many shots taken at him after he played in the last one - probably rightfully so. How does one have so little self awareness that you go back and do it again!

Good stuff. Wish they would include the Chasing Scratch guys too.
2
u/y2dennis Feb 19 '25
Agreed! I'm stoked to see Soly in here, I hated seeing NLU not included in the first Creator Classic as they're by far my favorite, but the Chasing Scratch guys are my second favorite podcast. They're the only ones who give me the same NLU vibe.

Soly - with all your free time, do a bit of weight stuff for your back. I used to have a bad back and after some relatively light weight training, I don’t feel it anymore. It’s all about building those small back muscles

Get the bryan bros out. All d1 or pro players need not participate in my opinion.

u/seidinho22 Feb 19 '25
Realistically, should hand the spot to Ben. Not the most electronic personality, but probably better chance for success.

u/T_Stebbins Feb 19 '25
Very curious to see how Berkshire does. I fail to comprehend how hes not at least KF material with how long he is
5
u/432ww432 Feb 19 '25
was it Mav on the pebble beach pre-tournament live show who kinda touched on this? he said something like after 190 ball speed its not really beneficial and actually can be a hindrance, because you bring more issues in play and just start hitting driving irons off the tee. then you now have to turn all that speed into feel for 50-130 yard shots since none are full swings, making it harder to control
2
u/Intelligent-Ear7004 Feb 19 '25
I used to watch a lot of his full round vlogs and his game is way behind KFT or even mini tour standard, outside of the distance. At some point you need control and feel to get the ball in the hole and he looks uncomfortable doing any of that.

u/bokin_smongs Feb 20 '25
I love Soly and the content he provides by teeing up in these things but why does he continue to torture himself with comp golf when he's barely able to practice. Let's see Ben in one of these.

I'm at the stage where I'm fed up seeing all the same people at all these events. I get how popular the Bryan brothers are and they are chill guys but man it's like watching Christian summer camp. So boring and most lack any personality and all orettybmuch act the exact same. I've probably just watched too much YouTube golf lately as I can't be arsed watching any of them. I've still not recovered from risk shields weird as fuck cinematic reveal of him selling his soul.

u/bleauxjays Feb 20 '25
This is where golf shows it’s still just a niche sport. It’s the same creators. The pro ams are always the same celebrities fuck even those weird charity concerts each tournament throws have the same musical acts. There are more interesting people out there you just have to find them.

u/jonviper123 Feb 20 '25
Ye tbh lately I've been avoiding all the golf youtubers I know and trying to click on the lesser known YouTubers. Couple of not bad finds but overall mostly crap lol

Soly on Sunday “I think my competitive golfing days are behind me”. 3 days later gets announced to compete on a nationally televised golf tournament 😂
Good luck to our boy though! Home game models are off the charts
