Grant, you should do a series where you scout a course thoroughly, play at least one practice round, then 18 at that course to try and give yourself an idea on your score with the same prep the pros get. Maybe a trusted caddy like Wes
I was thinking the same. Most scratch golfers would be mind blown if they saw what they are capable of with a good caddy and proper preparation. The problem for TH-cam golf is that the creators feel like they have to always go for the big shots to entertain people.
I usually shoot 80-84 at my home course and i shot a 91 on a course ive never played yesterday... Knowing the course and the greens is such an important part apparently.
I think the main issue with playing on something like the PGA Tour is pressure and mentality. It's super high-pressure environment with, at times, your career on the line. Every pro golfer is insanely good, but it's being able to play your best under those conditions that separate them.
Consistency for sure...everyone has hit a shot that's just incredible...everyone has tour level shots inside them, but tour pros can do them at will in crazy tough conditions with the entire world watching
Grant, I believe it would be cool to see if you can break your goal score playing two balls on every shot, but taking the worst shot. A pro once told me if I could break 40 playing “worst ball”, I’d know I was good. You’d have to make any putt twice, too. It could make for a cool video. Keep up the good work.👍🏻👍🏻
I play a ton of capt choice tournaments. Over the years we have found that a lot of times its better to mulligan the approach shot to get 4 better looks at the putts. Love your content and overall approach to life, Its refreshing. Thanks bro.
Grant, you have the world's greatest job. Travelling to great courses, playing with other TH-cam golf personalities, enjoying golf with little pressure. I'd keep doing what you are doing my friend. Plus, with the practice time you'd have to put in if you were on the Tour, the content on your channel would probably suffer we would miss seeing you as much.
Grant, I started golfing a few months ago and found your channel right away and i can say...... I'm happy I did. Just watching you play has improved my game, plus the joy I get from all the sweet ass places you get to play. Huge fan here and I really cant wait to see where you go.
@@christopher171 shut up. You either get a mulligan, or a provisional ball. These clowns on youtube make their own rules up to make themselves look better than they are. He was hitting provisional balls not mulligans
Grant you are the man. You’re game is incredible, and your channel is the best on youtube by such a long shot. Keep doing what you’re doing. I only wish you could make a series of your trying to make the pga tour, but I bet that’s complicated. Thank you for sharing, Grant!
Grant, you just need to keep doing what you are doing. It seems that the more you collaborate with George and Wesley the better you get. So glad you are getting more serious about improving not only your physical game but your mental game. Confidence is the key my man, learn your gàme's strengths and weaknesses and improve the later while leaning on the former and soak up the knowledge you acquire by playing with other quality players such as the Bryan brothers, Bryson DaBrainChambeau ànd others. With your talent, ability to teach and communicate that to others, your personality and positive vibe (you must get some from your love of reggae) the sky is the limit on growing your channel and brand. In my book you and Bryan Bros are the top two golf channels on Utube and I never miss one of your videos and am always looking forward to more. The only thing I need more of is more reggae dub in your videos my man! Positive Vibrations from east Tennessee.
I would still love to see you go/attempt Q school though....similar to George....if for nothing else then it would be good content to see how you match up there and to give you some good tourney experience.
@8:30 I would say strokes gain happens on the approach shots. If you are way outside 10 feet all the time, your putting isn't going to save you; you'll shoot in the mid 70s. But, if you stick it to 10 feet all the time, you are in the 60s. Look at Fat Perez. He throws darts at the flag all the time. But...when he's off on his approaches...he's 4-5 over par.
Shows in his game? Lol you can literally see in his videos that he gives himself preferred lies in almost every video especially shots out of the rough.
@@Bech285 the difference is, is that in a scramble you're allowed to move the ball and get a lie like that, not attacking the course in singles and giving yourself lies out of the rough. That's the difference.
Try Q-School, document it like George did, then you'd have a more concrete answer man, you're really good. Would make a good series of videos too. Love the channel.
Yea I think it would be both great for content and would also show what’s the actual skill gap there. It might be a bigger gap or a smaller gap than most think, we’ll never know unless he tries.
He's played against Bryan Bros and Ashay Bhaktia If he was PGA Tour level he would be beating George and Wesley like a drum and would be keeping up with Bhaktia
You should try playing two balls and taking the best score of the two, basically a best ball with yourself. Maybe play one agressive and one conservatively.
I don’t play with mulligans, but doesn’t using a mulligan mean your original shot doesn’t count anymore? I think that’s the part of taking the risk, isn’t it? If you hit one in the bunker and mulligan in the water for example then the water shot is the one that counts (at least to my understanding of mulligans)
why feel the need to tell people you don't play with mulligans? That didn't need to be said to ask the question that you asked. So im willing to bet any amount of money that you do in fact use lots of mulligans when you play.
@@wesaultman8220 you’d lose a lot of money my friend. Because I don’t play with mulligans I’m not sure what the rules are. If I did, I’d be more confident in my statement.
@@wesaultman8220 Maybe because he feels he's not an expert on the subject if it's something he doesn't do? It's the same nuance as "I'm not an expert, but my understanding is..." For example, if I was asking a pro basketball player a question about traveling and I don't play basketball, I could certainly say "I don't play basketball, but isn't taking 3 steps considered a travel?" If we use your reasoning as to why one would feel the need to tell people that one does not do something, that would mean that I in fact play basketball a lot.
I agree Dan. He is playing a quasi one man scramble. I guess he is just playing a “breakfast ball” on all holes. I also can’t stand how decent shots get him saying things like, “oh my god, I thought it was in the hole.” If I said that so emphatically during a round, my playing partners would get sick of me real quick. Not sure they’d ever play with me again.
Another great video Grant. But I gotta tell you, you should have used the mulligan on the chip on the first hole. You could have easily cut the distance in half. And then made the putt. You are a really good putter but to be honest. A pro would have made the second putt when used as a mully. I still think you could make some tour cuts though. Especially if you had a seasoned caddy that could provide better club selection at times. Just saying
Hey grant I met you Sunday at st James in psl… just wanted to say it was cool how awesome you are in person and nice you are to just random golfers like me!
I’ve got to say pal that is the first time I’ve ever seen a sand trap in the middle of the green! That mulligan you hit that lipped out was an incredible shot! Keep up the great work my friend!
In 2019 I Monday qualified for the Honda Classic on this golf course. Shot 30 on this 9 then the playoff holes were 1 and 9 back and forth. I went birdie-birdie-eagle. So, -10 for 12 holes.
Grant, your game is SO good. I feel like if you spent a couple hours a day on the putting green you MIGHT be PGA tour material. You're the king of lip outs. If you could sink half of those you'd be a +6.
Using mulligan's isnt like a one person scramble with two balls and you pick the best one. My understanding of mulligans is if you use the mulligan.. that ball is in play.. like if you hit the mulligan putt 5 feet past, but the first putt is close to the hole, then you are stuck with the 5 footer.
Comon @mickclarke… how bad a day are you having? Yes George is better most days, but Grant is killing it right? Love the videos, love the vibes. Go try out man! You’ll never know if you don’t try!
I believe that if it wasn't for George or Wesley. Grant's game would not be as good as it is getting. I feel that if Grant took his game to more practice to becoming a tour player. He could do it. @@mickclarke5741
@johannihlen7438 I love his videos and his vibes and yes he's killing TH-cam golf! But that doesn't change the fact he's literally a mile away from being remotely pga standard 🙈 leave your emotions at the door my man 👌🏼
The only thing about a mulligan challenge like this is it’s hard to get over the mental hurdle of knowing you have that extra shot. Can cause you to be a little looser and laid back on the approach to the first shot. But on the other side of that. Very beneficial for putts and distance control shots.
Man with that swing, and your positive attitude I think you could make it Grant for sure. Your swing is so cool for a hack like myself to watch 😂 when I play I really try and think about your tempo, it is a text book swing in my opinion 👍
Grant I love playing like this when I’m by myself. I’m able to swing freely and also work on shots that I usually have trouble with. So definitely appreciate this kinda video.
The one part of my game where it all seems to fall apart for me is when I drive into the course parking lot. From then on there's a lot of head scratching going on.
You're such an elite chipper, I think you couldv'e gotten it closer on the first hole with a mulligan there. But a mulligan round is such a tricky strategic game though! Underrated!
love videos like this. realistically if ur still improving mulligans allow you to practice and get better reads on shots, that help u ultimately improve and get more muscle memory. i know its frowned upon, but fuck it. its with the boys
Grant, great idea for a video. Here in Canada we’re a week or two before the courses open. Have thrown out this concept to break us into the season. We’ll be hoping to best 85-90 not the PGA cut…. Keep up the good work.
Would love to see you to give PGA a try. You love golf, already play at a very high level and are still young. And the process to reach for PGA will distinguish your YT content from most other YT golfers.
No need to go on the PGA Tour, you make a great living doing TH-cam and make more money than most professionals without all the pressure! Sounds like a win, win to me! Well done Grant 👏
I think if I were you, I wouldn’t do it anyway. I think turning pro would maybe take the joy out of the game for you, and that is part of what makes watching your videos so enjoyable. You are proof that there are other ways to make a living in golf.
I rarely comment, but feel you need to think of this round as proof you should try Q-School WITH a caddie. Your best use of mulligans were because you played the wrong yardage. Caddies would absolutely help with that. Your free feeling aggressive play is just confidence. Even on putting, you have a partner to help read. While it might not be as good as seeing the putt twice, it is still reassuring you have the right line. I hope you try next year. I’m chasing the senior dream.
I laughed out loud when you were finishing on the first green. Grabbed the ball and stuck it in the cup 😂. That mulligan putt was a knee knocker but I know you would’ve drained it.
Grant doing his best George B impersonating with the positive vibes and I like it. Swing is good enough to play on tour. Tighten up wedges a bit and fix putter a tad. That putter looks a little short putting with a claw grip. Also get a little stronger but don’t overdo it.
My man Grant… I think you should have taken that Mulli oomph the 1st tee and used it on the chip shot! I can’t remember if it was Jack or Arnie but after a round after missing a lot of putts they were asked what do they need to do to fix their putting… the answer… “hit it closer”… on that chip shot… you could have hit that closer after seeing your first one and made an easy bird… more so on Par 5’s then anything of course
Some people say that if you use a mulligan you don't thereafter have optionality to use the prior shot. If say you sky your tee shot and take mulli hitting into the lake, you're taking a drop brother. You makes your choices, you takes your chances.
you have to be able to shoot way under the cut line to be competitive. Doing that week after week is just super hard and you have to be consistently good. Most people have the talent but not the mind to stay consistent.
Great video! I think this only proves the research that Mark Broadie with strokes grain. PGA tour professionals are leaps and bounds better with their approach shots even compared to scratch golfers. Proximity to to the hole is everything. The farther you’re off the tee and closer you are on you 2nd/3rd shots improve your score drastically
Yes. I think Grant could do pretty well with his shots off the tee on Par 4s and Par 5s, but the pros are going to get their approach shots closer on average, they're going to get their shots around the green closer on average, they're going to get their long distance putts closer on average, and they're going to make a far higher percentage of their putts that are around 5-8 ft.
The friends I know who have given pro golf a real shot are all in the +4 and better range and say that in order to have even a remote chance, you need to be shooting in the 60s for most of your rounds at your home course. And even then it seems impossibly hard. The best amateur I know played on his country's national team as a college golfer and the closest he ever got to making a pro event was falling one stroke short of qualifying for the US open a few years ago. Such a high level. Grant is no doubt a fantastic golfer but I imagine the threshold is much higher.
I agree. Grant is a great ball striker so his drives off the tee paired with his solid short game I think he would be successful. Everyone know in any sport when your playing against higher level guys your forced to play at a higher level yourself.
It's always funny when golfers make a goal for themselves like Grant did with 5 under. I believe you subconsciously play at the level you set for yourself. Either go in with no expectations, or shoot for the stars. Grant could've easily locked in for 6 or 7 under this video. Keep up the great golf, bro!
I've become pretty familiar with your game after watching you for couple years now and the biggest holes I noticed is 1. Hammered putts here and there although your comebackers are top tier and 2. Trying to manufacture a shot when you can just play your natural shot shape to a decent spot instead of going for the ideal play.
Grant-if you don't mind me saying this... You play great golf. Why you should be on tour is we need more people we can look up to on tour. There are too many we can't. You're a great person and that's who I want to follow.... just like Akshay.
Love you swing. Love your attitude. All well suited for a tour of some kind. I’d say you would be middle of the pack on the Korn Ferry. You can go low but you do not usually put 4 low rounds together. Great golfers are incredible pitch and chippers. That’s what separate the pros. They do not make double bogeys and keep bogeys to none or one per round.
You got your ass handed to you by Mr Shiels!! The answer is a clear No - I think you knew that all ready pal. Your amazing at what you do and the most real on on YT - Keep it going Grant
Grant, your game is poetry in motion - but something that I think most amateurs don't take into account, that makes PGA events so very difficult? Course setup. Super-narrow fairways, super-long-and-think rough, and super-firm-and-fast greens make the challenge that much harder. Those guys are other-worldly! Cheers, mate 🙏🏻 P.S. I think you could absolutely make some cuts out there!
Play the reverse scramble, you always play two shots and take the worse. You even have to make two putts to finish the hole. When I was playing my best I broke 40 in 9 holes while playing this, and was super hyped!
You only ever use a mulligan if......... you can play a better shot the second time around. When you rock back and enjoy your shot....... that is not the time to think about a reload. Chips and puts...... unless you really stuff up the tee shot
with a mulligan every hole he's guessing 4-5 under par. Mckenzie hughes shot a 60 on a PGA course with zero mulligans on saturday. The difference between a solid golfer like grant and a tour player is ASTRONOMICAL.
@@steelcity4581 nope. First you have to qualify for those events. The cut line at qualifiers are 7-8 under par all the time. Then you have to score well at pga level courses under pga level conditions under pga level pressure. It’s a completely different animal. Your average scratch golfer has absolutely no chance. Grant might be close to a +2 handicap recently, you need to be a +6 to have a chance at the pga tour. The difference between a +2 and a +6 is the difference between grant and me a 10 handicap.
@@chasecorrigan6596yeah the average Tour Pro scores like -4 to -8 on a regular course relatively easy. I believe most amateurs who play a PGA course in PGA condition score like 10-15 strokes higher than their hcp
@@oliverson1256 to be fair, grant played pebble beach recently, a frequent PGA course, and he shot one over par on his first try. it's possible he could make a cut if he were on the heater of his life.
Without watching the video my predicted score would be around -7 for 9 holes with a mulligan per hole. Grants is one of the most humble guys out there and definitely has the talent for the PGA! I believe it's just not his passion. I think he just truly loves the game and is more passionate about introducing it to others and watching them grow a passion for the game themselves. Golf is definitely one of the best games out there!
Love the content Grant, but as others have stated as well - if you put a mulligan in play then you play that ball. You can't just blast the putt past the whole and revert back to the first because it was closer. And I think most people like you for being genuine, so calm down with the clickbaits 😆
It's my understanding that if you're going to use a mulligan, you must play the mulligan, even if it leaves you worse off. You don't get to choose which shot is best, and play that one.
I want to try this challenge as well. Lets you know how good you could be if you were just a bit more consistent and played to your full potential. Might try it!
It shows not only how humble Grant is but also the standard of the PGA Tour if someone as good as he is, couldn't make it. I think he has the best 'non PGA Tour' pro swing of anyone I've seen on TH-cam.
Video idea for you that would break the internet. You, Micah, and Garrett in a one vs one vs one Skins game. 18 holes. 6 on your channel, 6 on Micah’s. And 6 on Garrett’s. Money won goes to your favorite charities. Thoughts?
Hmmmmmm, some people play that if you take a mulligan you have to use the 2nd ball. Seems you allowed yourself the choice between both. Sometimes it produces the same outcome (if second shot is better) but you're using the more forgiving version of a mulligan.
I'm not a lover of mulligans. My playing partners know I hate them , I'm an 18 hc and they are a lot better so when I've struggled to match them and get in touch with maybe 2 to play and they hit a bad shot it hurts when they claim a mulligan to stay in front ,.. I feel cheated. I never use them 😢
Grant, strictly speaking I think you should always complete the hole with the mulligan ball after you've used it. Also, what would be great would be to see you you fare with a tour level caddie. It would be interesting if he or she would save you as many shots :)
Played with a group a couple weeks back who hit a mulligan basically every time they hit a bad shot, then were super proud to hear they beat me by a stroke after 18 holes. Gotta love em!
Would I have a chance with one mulligan per hole?
So nice to see you play like
My friends do with mulligans
You can score with no mulligans, you can get to tour, question is do you really want that pressure
Please get a haircut, not being mean but for real. But I do love ur golf, finally got the hole in one

@johannihlen7438 I love his videos and his vibes and yes he's killing TH-cam golf! But that doesn't change the fact he's literally a mile away from being remotely pga standard 🙈 leave your emotions at the door my man 👌🏼
Yes sir.@@mickclarke5741
The only thing about a mulligan challenge like this is it’s hard to get over the mental hurdle of knowing you have that extra shot. Can cause you to be a little looser and laid back on the approach to the first shot. But on the other side of that. Very beneficial for putts and distance control shots.
Man with that swing, and your positive attitude I think you could make it Grant for sure. Your swing is so cool for a hack like myself to watch 😂 when I play I really try and think about your tempo, it is a text book swing in my opinion 👍
Grant I love playing like this when I’m by myself. I’m able to swing freely and also work on shots that I usually have trouble with. So definitely appreciate this kinda video.
Love when you say you’re getting after it and it’s still the smoothest swing on TH-cam haha. Great video dude 🤙🏻
How about a mulligan on every green. Effectively making every hole a higher par. 3into a 4, 4 into a 5, etc. The putts is where you make your score.
Grant is just so likable.. Seems like a genuine great guy..
The one part of my game where it all seems to fall apart for me is when I drive into the course parking lot. From then on there's a lot of head scratching going on.
Grant, you are one funny bastard. That comment about the excavator in the bunker and the cart cam had me dying.
You're such an elite chipper, I think you couldv'e gotten it closer on the first hole with a mulligan there. But a mulligan round is such a tricky strategic game though! Underrated!
love videos like this. realistically if ur still improving mulligans allow you to practice and get better reads on shots, that help u ultimately improve and get more muscle memory. i know its frowned upon, but fuck it. its with the boys
Grant, great idea for a video. Here in Canada we’re a week or two before the courses open. Have thrown out this concept to break us into the season. We’ll be hoping to best 85-90 not the PGA cut…. Keep up the good work.
Not sure if this has been done yet, but same video except with a caddie. I feel like having a caddie that helps with prep would ease up the pressure
16:43 Do you need a license to drive carts on golf courses in the States?
Would love to see you to give PGA a try. You love golf, already play at a very high level and are still young. And the process to reach for PGA will distinguish your YT content from most other YT golfers.
Lmfao.. the equipment was a BRACTOR....Bunker Tractor hahahahaha. Love the video mate. You could make PGA.
No need to go on the PGA Tour, you make a great living doing TH-cam and make more money than most professionals without all the pressure! Sounds like a win, win to me! Well done Grant 👏
I think if I were you, I wouldn’t do it anyway. I think turning pro would maybe take the joy out of the game for you, and that is part of what makes watching your videos so enjoyable. You are proof that there are other ways to make a living in golf.
I rarely comment, but feel you need to think of this round as proof you should try Q-School WITH a caddie. Your best use of mulligans were because you played the wrong yardage. Caddies would absolutely help with that. Your free feeling aggressive play is just confidence. Even on putting, you have a partner to help read. While it might not be as good as seeing the putt twice, it is still reassuring you have the right line. I hope you try next year. I’m chasing the senior dream.
Yes, you could, but I believe that you are better as an entertainer! Keep doing what you love man!
I laughed out loud when you were finishing on the first green. Grabbed the ball and stuck it in the cup 😂. That mulligan putt was a knee knocker but I know you would’ve drained it.
Grant doing his best George B impersonating with the positive vibes and I like it. Swing is good enough to play on tour. Tighten up wedges a bit and fix putter a tad. That putter looks a little short putting with a claw grip. Also get a little stronger but don’t overdo it.
My man Grant… I think you should have taken that Mulli oomph the 1st tee and used it on the chip shot! I can’t remember if it was Jack or Arnie but after a round after missing a lot of putts they were asked what do they need to do to fix their putting… the answer… “hit it closer”… on that chip shot… you could have hit that closer after seeing your first one and made an easy bird… more so on Par 5’s then anything of course
Some people say that if you use a mulligan you don't thereafter have optionality to use the prior shot. If say you sky your tee shot and take mulli hitting into the lake, you're taking a drop brother. You makes your choices, you takes your chances.
you have to be able to shoot way under the cut line to be competitive. Doing that week after week is just super hard and you have to be consistently good. Most people have the talent but not the mind to stay consistent.
Great video! I think this only proves the research that Mark Broadie with strokes grain. PGA tour professionals are leaps and bounds better with their approach shots even compared to scratch golfers. Proximity to to the hole is everything. The farther you’re off the tee and closer you are on you 2nd/3rd shots improve your score drastically
Yes. I think Grant could do pretty well with his shots off the tee on Par 4s and Par 5s, but the pros are going to get their approach shots closer on average, they're going to get their shots around the green closer on average, they're going to get their long distance putts closer on average, and they're going to make a far higher percentage of their putts that are around 5-8 ft.
Love the Matt shout out !
The friends I know who have given pro golf a real shot are all in the +4 and better range and say that in order to have even a remote chance, you need to be shooting in the 60s for most of your rounds at your home course. And even then it seems impossibly hard. The best amateur I know played on his country's national team as a college golfer and the closest he ever got to making a pro event was falling one stroke short of qualifying for the US open a few years ago. Such a high level. Grant is no doubt a fantastic golfer but I imagine the threshold is much higher.
You can and will do it. Your style personality and skills are real good. Blessings
I believe with the right coach, mindset training, and purposeful practice, yes you could be successful in the tour. Decision making as well.
he has 0 chance of making the tour. Do you know how good the pros are? night and day
I agree. Grant is a great ball striker so his drives off the tee paired with his solid short game I think he would be successful. Everyone know in any sport when your playing against higher level guys your forced to play at a higher level yourself.
It's always funny when golfers make a goal for themselves like Grant did with 5 under. I believe you subconsciously play at the level you set for yourself. Either go in with no expectations, or shoot for the stars. Grant could've easily locked in for 6 or 7 under this video. Keep up the great golf, bro!
Yes Grant,you should be on tour hands down!
Love the video! Great concept! :)
I've become pretty familiar with your game after watching you for couple years now and the biggest holes I noticed is 1. Hammered putts here and there although your comebackers are top tier and 2. Trying to manufacture a shot when you can just play your natural shot shape to a decent spot instead of going for the ideal play.
Grant-if you don't mind me saying this... You play great golf. Why you should be on tour is we need more people we can look up to on tour. There are too many we can't. You're a great person and that's who I want to follow.... just like Akshay.
Love you swing. Love your attitude. All well suited for a tour of some kind. I’d say you would be middle of the pack on the Korn Ferry. You can go low but you do not usually put 4 low rounds together. Great golfers are incredible pitch and chippers. That’s what separate the pros. They do not make double bogeys and keep bogeys to none or one per round.
You got your ass handed to you by Mr Shiels!! The answer is a clear No - I think you knew that all ready pal. Your amazing at what you do and the most real on on YT - Keep it going Grant
yes please!
Grant, your game is poetry in motion - but something that I think most amateurs don't take into account, that makes PGA events so very difficult? Course setup. Super-narrow fairways, super-long-and-think rough, and super-firm-and-fast greens make the challenge that much harder. Those guys are other-worldly! Cheers, mate 🙏🏻
P.S. I think you could absolutely make some cuts out there!
Dream on.. not even close to Korn Ferry standard..
Carry on making videos.. far easier
@@carlcross-h7v I'll bet that you're a real hoot at parties 👀
What about a solo Texas scramble?? See what you shoot I often do this when practicing.
Great content Grant, you're really coming into your own!!!!!!
First hole shouldve mullied that chip. Can learn a lot about course management playing mulligan golf not to mention when to get aggressive.
I never take mulligans. Golf is a personal game... if you lie to yourself about your score, who will you ever be honest to?...
Wherever the world of Golf takes you, ill be watching from the bushes
Appreciate you man
😂😂😂
Bunker Tractor. 😂 Awesome film.
Grant, ever think of trying that Scottie Scheffler Proto spider? It’s pure, TM should get one your way
Loved this vid, Grant!
Play the reverse scramble, you always play two shots and take the worse. You even have to make two putts to finish the hole. When I was playing my best I broke 40 in 9 holes while playing this, and was super hyped!
Why is he not putting his mulligan ball on the greens lol...he uses the regular ball
You only ever use a mulligan if......... you can play a better shot the second time around. When you rock back and enjoy your shot....... that is not the time to think about a reload. Chips and puts...... unless you really stuff up the tee shot
“The cheeks are leaving the ground” I’m dead 😂
with a mulligan every hole he's guessing 4-5 under par. Mckenzie hughes shot a 60 on a PGA course with zero mulligans on saturday. The difference between a solid golfer like grant and a tour player is ASTRONOMICAL.
Ur average player on tour is only shooting 1 over to 3 under per 18 holes if you could do that you could easily make the pga tour
@@steelcity4581 nope. First you have to qualify for those events. The cut line at qualifiers are 7-8 under par all the time. Then you have to score well at pga level courses under pga level conditions under pga level pressure. It’s a completely different animal. Your average scratch golfer has absolutely no chance. Grant might be close to a +2 handicap recently, you need to be a +6 to have a chance at the pga tour. The difference between a +2 and a +6 is the difference between grant and me a 10 handicap.
@@chasecorrigan6596yeah the average Tour Pro scores like -4 to -8 on a regular course relatively easy. I believe most amateurs who play a PGA course in PGA condition score like 10-15 strokes higher than their hcp
@@oliverson1256 to be fair, grant played pebble beach recently, a frequent PGA course, and he shot one over par on his first try. it's possible he could make a cut if he were on the heater of his life.
@steelcity4581 Yardage is way longer, greens faster and rough longer on a pga setup. Then throw in nerves and your local good player shoots 82
Without watching the video my predicted score would be around -7 for 9 holes with a mulligan per hole. Grants is one of the most humble guys out there and definitely has the talent for the PGA! I believe it's just not his passion. I think he just truly loves the game and is more passionate about introducing it to others and watching them grow a passion for the game themselves. Golf is definitely one of the best games out there!
Love the content Grant, but as others have stated as well - if you put a mulligan in play then you play that ball. You can't just blast the putt past the whole and revert back to the first because it was closer. And I think most people like you for being genuine, so calm down with the clickbaits 😆
It's my understanding that if you're going to use a mulligan, you must play the mulligan, even if it leaves you worse off. You don't get to choose which shot is best, and play that one.
First hole.....you have to take the Mulligan on the chip because you can still make eagle and if not you are probably leaving a tap in .....
Damn I’m here pretty early!!! i appreciate all the Golf videos Grant!!
I want to try this challenge as well. Lets you know how good you could be if you were just a bit more consistent and played to your full potential. Might try it!
Would love to host you at our family owned club in Lauderdale. You’ve played it before with Good Good
Where is the golf course? I live in Palm Beach County. Never heard of it.
you strike the ball exceptionally well. In my opinion, it's the putting keeping you from playing like a tour pro.
It shows not only how humble Grant is but also the standard of the PGA Tour if someone as good as he is, couldn't make it. I think he has the best 'non PGA Tour' pro swing of anyone I've seen on TH-cam.
apart from Rick Shiels - he is the boss 👍🏻
Video idea for you that would break the internet. You, Micah, and Garrett in a one vs one vs one Skins game. 18 holes. 6 on your channel, 6 on Micah’s. And 6 on Garrett’s. Money won goes to your favorite charities. Thoughts?
Hmmmmmm, some people play that if you take a mulligan you have to use the 2nd ball. Seems you allowed yourself the choice between both. Sometimes it produces the same outcome (if second shot is better) but you're using the more forgiving version of a mulligan.
I'm not a lover of mulligans. My playing partners know I hate them , I'm an 18 hc and they are a lot better so when I've struggled to match them and get in touch with maybe 2 to play and they hit a bad shot it hurts when they claim a mulligan to stay in front ,.. I feel cheated. I never use them 😢
Grant, strictly speaking I think you should always complete the hole with the mulligan ball after you've used it. Also, what would be great would be to see you you fare with a tour level caddie. It would be interesting if he or she would save you as many shots :)
Came here to mention this. I don't think you can just pick the best ball of the 2.
"I've got the line perfect" - then proceeds to hit the identical putt 😅😅
The mental freedom that one has when hitting the mulligan is the key to playing good golf!
What a great video mate!
Played with a group a couple weeks back who hit a mulligan basically every time they hit a bad shot, then were super proud to hear they beat me by a stroke after 18 holes. Gotta love em!
I've had that exact same thing happen and you just have to smile and walk away. Some people.
