Had a blast competing again in my 1st tournament in awhile. Finished T29 and missed the cut 🤦♂️ Thank you guys for all the encouragement and support to get back into competitive golf. Also a big thank you to the big cat for the support and coming out to film. We also entered the SCGA qualifier at Shadowridge yesterday on 6/10 and shot a 71 and finished T5. Went into a playoff with 2 college kids and made 🐤 on the 1st hole and Qualified. SCGA tourney here we come July 11th 💪⛳
Well played Mike! A bad day on the course is always better than a good day in the office. Keep up the awesome work @Gollholics! You guys are champs! Big Up from South Africa. Now go own the SCGA! ITS ALL YOURS! Till next time. Keep em coming!
I played in two tournaments one year-came in DEAD LAST. My regular group teased and laughed at me, until I beat the brakes off of them the rest of the summer! 🤷🏽♂️ Totally different experience! Great job!!
I can't stress this enough you guys are just awesome golfers and more importantly seem like a world class hang! It's so cool to see your friendship and support for one another, this is what life and sports are about! 🙌🙏 Also major respect to Mike for taking us with you on your return to competitive golf Champ 🙏
Man Mike, the way you drove the ball was under par but not all cylinders were firing that day. Congrats on qualifying for the other tournament. You and Big Cat are the best.
You’re good coach! You’ll bounce back after this, only your first tourney in a while and you still played solid. A lot to learn from and and grow from which is what golf is all about. Keep grinding and working hard! Incredible video as always, Great filming & commentary Marko!
Hangin in there! Tough round Coach. Yes please do more of these, I think it adds even more cred to your channel. Good clean competition..gotta love it. Thanks guys.
I have been watching your content for a while now guys and I’m a big fan! Just wanted to say, not to knock on your other content because I really enjoy that too, but I enjoyed this more because it was a legit attempt to qualify. Great stuff Golfholics, keep the 4K coming
I'm glad you did a vlog for this, considering it's a competitive round. You're attitude was great considering you were having issues with your irons. Easy to just mail it in when you haven't played competitively in such a while. Really good stuff.
Great effort, Coach. A few of those putts fall in and you are right there. I say you try it again when you get a chance. Work on your irons. Play some short par 3's to get them dialed in.. Emerald Isle or Goat Hill in Oceanside are great cpurses to dial in your irons. Tecelote too. Great job, though.
Wow, this is two of my best amateur golfers I know (Coach in SoCal and Scottie Brown in San Antonio TX) just missed making the cut at both Opens (CA & TX). That's okay, both of your games are so solid, y'all will get it next year. That was great you shared this with us Coach...Big Cat you're next! Enjoyed it!
Coach and Marko, love your guys passion for the game. You’ve inspired me to play more golf and to elevate my own game 🤙🏻 Can’t wait to watch your guys journey into tournaments golf! #swooplife
I know I'll never have the golf skills that Coach has but that reminded me of my tense golf swing. Flaring the irons out to the fade side yet still able to rotate through and get the driver to work. I often do that when I am golfing against a much better golfer them myself or nervous. If that is the case I hope Coach shakes it off and gets that smooth buttery swing back. A lot of us are cheering for him.
Coach, way to give it a go - especially on camera. Can't win em' all, but I really like that Marko came out and walked and filmed ya. Quality stuff right there!
MUCH RESPECT! Its one thing to play with your buddies, but its another when you playing in a tournament. It was good to see you Mike play a real round. Keep it up!
Top Notch!! As a Softball coach out here in Bandon, I love seeing this @Golfholics. What a great video and a great gesture to give back. Also got to see Marko and Mike's true character. I enjoyed this and look forward to MEETING you here at Bandon Dunes!!! Bang Bang...Good Stuff!! Happy Belated Father's Day!!!
Nice to see you compete out there! your drives and bunkers shots were great. You'll get them next time. Enjoyed watching you play and looking forward to your next competition video. I'd love come out and play with you and the big cat one day.
Good match Coach!! Don't cheat yourself, you had some pretty clutch up and downs yourself. I don't know how that put on 15 (I think it was) doesn't drop. It's hard to grind when that stuff happens, way to stay positive and focused. Thank you for bringing us along!
Finally a new video..! I was starting to go through GH withdrawls. My heart sank when Coach went water right on that par 3. Still a strong showing with a 77
I haven't yet watched much of your videos yet but must say this one was awesome and I really like your style playa. Dude has made skills and keep that fun meter on max!
has to be a record for most bunkers hit in the front 9 but much respect for keeping it all together while the irons were a little off. pretty awesome round in my opinion
Great attitude, my guy. Really took some nerve to finish that out so well. I do think that grip is killing you, however. Just my humble observations... Ive said it before but this video demonstrates it best. From 1 to 10 in terms of grip strength, yours is a 15 (underhanded right hand). Helps with the big stick to get yardage, but leading to inconsistent chunky contact with the irons. You have a compensation somewhere in your swing that wasn't working when you filmed this. Regardless, a cycle kicks in - your tendency is to shallow out the swing path when you start chunking, but you get stronger and stronger with grip to compensate and the swing plane itself collapses. Just my humble thoughts. I'm certainly no "coach." I only say this because I have very very very similar swing mechanics to you, but only a 10/10 on the grip strength, without the contact issues and pushes.
Great video keep playing in events like that big cat you need to join your buddy just an observation coach it looked as if you were trying to guide your irons just relax and trust your fine golf swing!
Tough Luck Mike. Better next time. How about Stanley still getting after it eh? Im sorta an older scrappy guy like him. Hey, that sounds like a great Vlog idea. GH vs Old Scrappy guys! :)
Played two groups behind you guys on Torrey South this winter. Definitely cool to see you guys out playing. Know you can ball so keep at it. Sometimes competitive golf take a few to get the feel for it. I know I’ve tried. 👍
Coach normally draws so when you start to push to the right in the middle of a tournament what do you do to correct it while on the course? Don’t know how this ends as I write it so it will be interesting to see what happens. Good luck coach!
Keep going and you'll get in... Bad time to be infected with the blocks but that's part of the pressure to deal with. I think you can do it if you wanna... :)
Haven't seen an upload in a week or so was wondering if everything was ok? Props to you coach for even attempting to qualify, had to be nerve racking after 20 years! Hope all is well with you both.

Well played guys
Well played Mike! A bad day on the course is always better than a good day in the office. Keep up the awesome work @Gollholics! You guys are champs! Big Up from South Africa. Now go own the SCGA! ITS ALL YOURS! Till next time. Keep em coming!
Thx Rob👊
You should do more of these. Really fun to watch.
More of this. Best of luck.
Thanks for putting yourself out there mike. Not easy. Keep it going!
Thx dude
I played in two tournaments one year-came in DEAD LAST.
My regular group teased and laughed at me, until I beat the brakes off of them
the rest of the summer! 🤷🏽♂️
Totally different experience!
Great job!!
@@advancedgraphx 👊
Nice effort, very few on YT would show an entire comp round in a video :). Hope you film more of these types of events.
More of this! Had fun watching, found myself trying to will you to birdie every hole. Thanks for the content guys
😂thx🤙
I can't stress this enough you guys are just awesome golfers and more importantly seem like a world class hang! It's so cool to see your friendship and support for one another, this is what life and sports are about! 🙌🙏

Appreciate the kind words🙏
Man Mike, the way you drove the ball was under par but not all cylinders were firing that day. Congrats on qualifying for the other tournament. You and Big Cat are the best.
Thx man🙏
Loved it! Great job getting back into competition.
👊
Great vlog...more please 👍

Congrats coach on getting back out and competing! Better comps ahead for sure, you have the game to be a threat. Well done!
Thanks 🤙
I'm glad you did a vlog for this, considering it's a competitive round.
You're attitude was great considering you were having issues with your irons. Easy to just mail it in when you haven't played competitively in such a while.
Really good stuff.
Great effort Coach.
Hope you two start doing more tournaments. Like to see them. Another great video by you guys.

Emerald Isle or Goat Hill in Oceanside are great cpurses to dial in your irons. Tecelote too. Great job, though.
Thx john, shot a 71 on the scga qualifier, and made it in 👊
First thought when this vlog dropped....."The Boys Are Back In Town" (Thin Lizzy) style! Got that tune stuck in my head all morning! Go get it coach.
💪
Yo Bski
Great job Mike!!
👊
Great job coach!!
This was really fun to watch
20 years out of competition and shoots 77, that’s awesome coach, keep motivating the viewers, thank you guys.
awesome video. great new idea for the channel, put in some competitive golf. fantastic !!!
Loved that birdie on 7. Really clean.

Awesome to hear💪
Good work coach. this was a cool format for a video as well. keep it realski
😂😂😂👌
Always great fun to enter local tournaments. I generally play better and always enjoy the experience. Enjoyed this video, too

This is so inspiring!! Definitely one of my bucket list now!! Good luck at Lakeside in July Coach!
Love this type of video, keep making more!
MUCH RESPECT! Its one thing to play with your buddies, but its another when you playing in a tournament. It was good to see you Mike play a real round. Keep it up!

please do more tourny's this was awesome to watch and you played really well mike
Very cool!! I was holding my breath every shot. You did us all proud
Nice to see you compete out there! your drives and bunkers shots were great. You'll get them next time. Enjoyed watching you play and looking forward to your next competition video. I'd love come out and play with you and the big cat one day.
Some high-quality golf content boys. Good on ya for qualifying Coach!! Hit some really impressive shots out there #ForTheChannel 👊🏽
💪
Your putting was on target, especially the long attempts. Thanks for sharing your experience! ⛳
🤙
Great effort! That amazing short game deserted you for the first time I’ve seen. But great round brother!
Good match Coach!! Don't cheat yourself, you had some pretty clutch up and downs yourself. I don't know how that put on 15 (I think it was) doesn't drop. It's hard to grind when that stuff happens, way to stay positive and focused. Thank you for bringing us along!
No way you had a Kapalua golf shirt on. I’m playing that course on Friday
Yes sir
Great video, more like this one!
you hit the driver very well, and your putting is excellent. keep it up!
Enjoyed this video guys and would love to see more like it. Well played Coach. Just wasn't your day, unfortunately, but you'll bounce back.
Would like to see what he could have scored if he wasn't pushing his irons all day. LOVE this vid! Good luck on 7/11 Mike!
Thx man, got my redemption on this course 💪
You will get them next time, Coach!
Finally a new video..! I was starting to go through GH withdrawls. My heart sank when Coach went water right on that par 3. Still a strong showing with a 77
Go coach keep entering the comps and you'll get the taste for shooting at pins and. Asking the putts - your driving is awesome!
Thanks for sharing your round Mike. Well done on qualifying for the SCGA tourney. Always a silver lining
With as many bunkers and slight misses as you had, I think you recovered pretty darn well. Well done Mike. I would have shot like a 100
Thx man🤙
when coach is putting on 8th green, the guy in the background tees off and hits some trees lmao
Joey yeoJ haha he Shanked that fucker
I haven't yet watched much of your videos yet but must say this one was awesome and I really like your style playa. Dude has made skills and keep that fun meter on max!
I was having Golfholics withdrawals 🙌🏻🏌🏼♂️⛳️
Good job coach , you drove the ball so good , deffinently keen to see you and big cat take down the competition 🤙🤙
Great job. I’m rooting for you guys.
has to be a record for most bunkers hit in the front 9 but much respect for keeping it all together while the irons were a little off. pretty awesome round in my opinion
Watching the play from this perspective was cool!!
That was a great score considering you came out of just about every bunker on the course. I think you played great.
Anyone else fist pump when he made that birdie on 7? - Much love from Australia
Thx dude👊

Well done Mike, a decent showing for your first tournament for a long time, you'll get em next time pal
Thx man🤙
If I could give it a two thumbs up I would. That was awesome! Way to grind it out my man! 💪
Thx💪
Sorry you missed cut Coach. You are still da man. Great effort A+

Awesome job coach. Definitely do another, enjoyed the modified ‘tournament’ vlog format
Continue improving COACH!!!
Nice job, Coach! Grinding on this round, but we all know what happens next. Hard work pays off 🙌👏👏👏
💪🤙
Coacho rocking the Golfholics ball!💪🔥👏
Gotta rep💪
Mike gives qualifying another go guys......I think you'll like the next video.
james mumford dumb question but how do you know?
@@lukeadams1918 someone posted it on IG I think. You can see the results on usga website as well.... for SoCal
Shot 71 at the scga qualifier, but didnt record it🤦♂️
@@mikereifeiss1910 Noooooooo. Was really looking forward to that video. I'll say congrats here then. Good luck next stage
Great video keep playing in events like that big cat you need to join your buddy just an observation coach it looked as if you were trying to guide your irons just relax and trust your fine golf swing!
Still - great showing for first comp! Congrats
Good thing my gf isn't here. She would think I'm a lunatic, cheering on coach! LOL
🤙
Keep up the great work love your videos. If you two ever make it out to Ohio we have some beautiful courses I'll buy the round.
Forgot what it was like to watch a golfholic video lol
Awesome round coach, you'll get em next time!
Good playing Mike!!! We know you got it in you. Not your best day but still making shots.
Well done - for those of us in the uk what scores did qualify??
72 qualified
Really enjoyed the vid
Bout time you post another great vid...hope your all doing well...
Tough Luck Mike. Better next time. How about Stanley still getting after it eh? Im sorta an older scrappy guy like him. Hey, that sounds like a great Vlog idea. GH vs Old Scrappy guys! :)
Can we get a witb?
Coach didn’t have his A Game but kept grinding with a good attitude. Keep competing Mike definitely have the skills to win 👍🏼👍🏼
Played two groups behind you guys on Torrey South this winter. Definitely cool to see you guys out playing. Know you can ball so keep at it. Sometimes competitive golf take a few to get the feel for it. I know I’ve tried. 👍

Hey Marko why didnt you compete as well?
That was fun to watch!
Keep going and you'll get in...
Bad time to be infected with the blocks but that's part of the pressure to deal with.
I think you can do it if you wanna... :)
Look for golfholics video daily but haven't seen one in a week, almost had to take a few anxiety pills.
😂
Haven't seen an upload in a week or so was wondering if everything was ok? Props to you coach for even attempting to qualify, had to be nerve racking after 20 years! Hope all is well with you both.
Appreciate that🤙
Really enjoyed this video, get them irons crispy and you’ll be able to play with anyone.
💪
🥺 I actually checked Reddit yesterday to try and find out if something happened to the GH channel! And they're back!✅👍👌
Way to grind Coach, we all know you have the ability so I look forward to watching you compete again.
Good job coach, everyone’s routing for you!
Thank you🙏
Always rooting for ya coach! Think positive and stick with the game plan. Big cat needs to get in those qualifiers too!! Let’s get it done.
Proud of you brother!
Thx👊
Good showing Coach, we'll get them next time.
Good job coach keep up the good work
