Every drive that went left, my heart broke a little more for you. Of all the TH-cam Golfers, there isn't anyone I want to see succeed more. Keep pressing, keep showing up, proud of you for hanging in there. Looking forward to the rebound, you 100% got this!
Really was pretty decent except for drives. Made 2 birdies from the wrong fairway. Sunk a few putts. Played the par 3s well. Thanks for the video! I really enjoy this kind of tournament content.
This is for everyone who doesn't know how hard it is to be a pro golfer. It is truly one of the hardest GRINDS in the world.. Especially when so many amazing golfers are on that same line Ben, I am rooting for you BIG TIME! Keep it up!
It’s a “grind” when your work ethic exceeds your talent . To many are just very very good golfers but not pro golfers and fail to have the self awareness to realize that so they continue the “grind”
In the early 90"s i played on the HOOTERS TOUR. I could not believe some of these guys were going 9-10 under par on some rounds. Final score 26 under on some tough tracks , and this was considered mini-tour in the south. The competition has only gotten more brutal.
@@hardknox1917 that doesnt add up at all, if you are very very good then all you need is work ethic for Golf. Ben has tthe talent, he just needs to continue to work.
Your scrambling is unbelievable. If your driver would've been on, It would definitely have been a different outcome. Man you're right on the edge of something great! Enjoying this content a lot.
Not gonna lie, it was tough to watch you struggle and get frustrated because as fans we feel it with you. However, I loved how you came back and played the last hole like a true warrior would. Keep that mentality and you will succeed...Always Press brother!
I think you have, bar none, the best sense of humor of any TH-cam golfer. I am going to be pulling for you and so happy that you have so much support from people on your channel. Keep grinding brother.
Hey Ben, been watching your channel since before you were with good good. Just want to say that during your practice round your attitude was great. You seemed relaxed, and excited to be there. You were having fun, and you appeared to be playing really well. If you could carry that same mindset into the tournament, you would kill it. Who cares if everyone else is tense and serious. That's not your demeanor. Be yourself and have fun man!
As someone who is a og THE TOUR watcher it’s so good to see this back in longer form as well it was truly a series I loved Becuase it detailed how brutal pro golf can be
There’s no substitute for the pressure during true competition. Not that you haven’t been there before, but it sounds like it’s been a bit with true stakes on the line. Just keep racking up the experience in competition. I’ll follow along for the ride.
Keep grinding. I am fully convinced tour guys are 3-4 strokes better because people have eyes on their balls all the time and know exactly where they are. So hard to find golf balls sometimes when no one has eyes on them.
We are all with your mate, some of those drives and missed putts were hard to watch. I am sure you were fuming beneath the surface but it sounded like you had some really great playing partners there being as supportive as you can when trying to win yourself. Keep grinding man and love the content
Love your content man. But one thing i found myself wondering while watching the video. Is that the course isnt long, youre a big hitter and youre struggling with the driver. Why not just start hitting a long iron off the tee for position, youre still going to have mid to short iron into most of those par 4's. Either way good content.. Best of luck out there!
Great video Ben! As you said the driver is the one making you struggle to shoot better scores. Maybe it's just me but I feel like you are always trying to crush the ball 100% of the times when driving it. I feel like hitting it at 85-95% would help you a lot keeping the ball on fairways more often. Your irons are definitely your strength so fairways would make your life easier. Love seeing this type of content, keep it going!
Awesome video Ben, and love all the content lately. Loved it when you came back to finish that last hole even when you knew you were out. Keep it up! Kill it at Q school soon 🤙🏼
You’re such a good golfer and I never saw you hit such crappy drives and then even in this quantity, I honestly couldn’t believe this. The rest of your game, your recoveries were excellent I thought. I’m not worried for you future at all, just get this former fantastic driving back to level again. Good luck 🍀
It’s crazy to see your end of round scores after almost every drive left you with an off the chart recovery score! You’ll get those drives straightened out and you’ll be right there. I appreciate these kind of raw videos showing the vulnerable side of having a bad day. Most of all the TH-cam golfers always keep the vibes up by always only showing the good. I feel like we as viewers connect with you more by seeing the entire ride, good AND bad!
Grind,Grind,Grind …Ben you definitely have the game, I thought the same as you with the misses you managed score very well! Like you said a few putts and it’s a different story even with the driver issues!!
Ben have you ever tried taking full length swings with driver at less than 50% effort just to feel the face. I swing it pretty fast as well and taking down to 20 or 30% effort has really helped me to control the face at impact on regular swings. to me it's kind of like taking jump shots really close to the basket to work on form. Anyways, way to grind it out even a negative experience like this can be a positive in the future!
Ben loves seeing this and wishing you the best of luck Thank you for sharing your journey. That is so cool the family was able to come through for you and support you by allowing you to stay at their place. Love the humor as well and again best of luck moving forward
Since I have also played this course I will tell you that even with properly placed tee shots, it is a tough course to score on. Greens are normally very fast and the hills and valleys can throw off yardages. Keep your head up!! Fix that driver pull!! That is the reason you scored so high.
First time here and I saw you on a lot of the other golfing channels enjoyed watching you and you definitely were instantly one of favorite people to watch keep it up!!!
Great video 📹 one of the best.... Ben, you played well for your first tournament back the grind is real and you have tjd game and tje drive..... Keep pressing brother can't wait to see the next tournament!!!
The fact that you were playing most balls out of the rough and in the trees and still managed plenty of impressive saves. Once that Driver gets dialed come tournament time you’ll be 5 under per round easily. The short approach shots made my jaw drop with the amount of precision you had.
great video and editing job Ben , Bottom line golf is so hard , thank you for bringing us inside the ropes and hearing your process. Tough game you nstill played well and no doubt you will have better rounds ahead !
I watched the entire video. All your practice rounds and swings were fluid and smooth. Tourney starts and all of a sudden your swinging 110% trying to kill your drives. There are literally two Bens in this video.
Great thing is, you’re young and talented. You take what’s given. You don’t think you’re the best and you don’t want anyone to feel sorry for you. That’s why some don’t watch Micah anymore. You’re gonna be just fine brother. And you’ll continue to grow with us.
that was the most impressive +7 ever. although as someone who fights the “lefts” i have a touch of ptsd watching you hook everything possible, lol. way to grind. love the tournament rounds.
Hey Ben! I’m sure you read all of these comments and I just wanted to say that you have a big community pulling for you! I’m sure you will pull it all together for Q school! Always PRESS! Best of luck and can’t wait for the content (or maybe see you on “Sunday!” 🎉
Hang in there, Ben! Idk if this will help at all, but I've found that practicing with a long iron teed about an inch off the ground really helps sort my driver out. It makes the setup similar and your miss zone is way smaller. If you can flush a 2 iron straight from an inch off the ground, you can hit your driver straight in the center. Maybe start looking at the gear if everything else in your bag is working. In any case, just keep grinding, you've got it in you
Gotta play with what you got on that day. You’re way better than me Ben, that’s an absolute fact. But trying to force that cut when you’ve been hitting a turnover draw for the past two days was always gonna be tough. You’re a great player there’s no doubt about it, you keep a cool head like you did over those rounds and piece things together you’ll be on tour.
Question : after the rain delay ... the ball was in the same spot in the bunker but a much friendlier lie .. is that because u just mark your spot and than when u come back you just place it there so no need to bury it ? Thanks for the content !! Look forward to a glorious comeback !!
No way bro Wade Binfield used to play at my home course, my swing coach used to coach him. Used to talk to him all the time. Small world. Keep up the great work Ben 💯
Yeah I was feeling this with you the whole way. You are exponentially better than myself lol. I just wanted to say I have my best rounds when I give in to the fact I go left. Not snappy but slight draws or pulls. Any rounds I try to move it right just doesn’t go my way. Stay after it brotha and earned a sub from me today 👍
Love this content Ben. Keep grinding and keep pressing. Went to USGA's headquarters in New Jersey recently for a work summit. Saw a guy wearing an Always Press hat and we talked about your content for a while! This video was really cool to watch.
great content. my son hates playing a practice round the day before where everyone is putting and chipping arond all greens. 7 our practice round are missrable some days. but some are necassary when they are not local
JUST MET BEN AND DUDE WAS SUPER COOL. Really took the time to talk and meet my son Jacoby. Hated to bother him because he was with his family but he like I said he took the time and had a good quick chat. Thanks Ben good luck!
Hey man, don't get discouraged. Youve got the game. One day your driver will click and you'll be a serious contender. Your scrambling and touch is there. Keep your head up. Your close.
You'd think if you had a 2 way miss with the driver, you would hit something else until you get it figured out. Could have saved so many shots off the tee. That last lost ball hitting the tree was bad luck, but also a risky play. Hope you get everything working a little better and start to be competitive again.
Just need to get used to tournament speed with the driver. Mechanically everything is good enough to not have that happen. You know what you need to work on. Rest of your game looked very solid. LOVED the content! Comp content is always appreciated
I've watched many of your videos, and this one just shows how difficult competition golf is. I'm sure you will do better next time and hope we get to see it
Hey Ben, even though your play wasn't up to your standards I really enjoyed this type of video. Looking forward to he next one, thanks for bringing us along the journey!
What was the reason for picking up the put on 2 and saying nope, not in a practice round. It was going in right? What didnt i understand. Love the vid Ben
Every drive that went left, my heart broke a little more for you. Of all the TH-cam Golfers, there isn't anyone I want to see succeed more. Keep pressing, keep showing up, proud of you for hanging in there. Looking forward to the rebound, you 100% got this!

Next time call ** spoiler alert ** lol
2nd this!!!!
Bro needs to play a draw off the tee, don’t know why he’s so set on a cut.
@@aidan2371 who knew Ben was asking for advice from a 20 hdcpper XD
This is for everyone who doesn't know how hard it is to be a pro golfer. It is truly one of the hardest GRINDS in the world.. Especially when so many amazing golfers are on that same line

Your scrambling is unbelievable. If your driver would've been on, It would definitely have been a different outcome. Man you're right on the edge of something great! Enjoying this content a lot.
Completely agree
Not the ending we wanted but the content is exactly what we wanted ! Keep grinding man and thanks for letting us be apart of the journey! #alwayspress
Thanks for letting us join you on your journey Ben! Keep it up, really enjoy watching you.

I respect the hell out of you for showing up, out of the tournament, to finish the last hole. Thats heart and sportsmanship right there.
As someone who is a og THE TOUR watcher it’s so good to see this back in longer form as well it was truly a series I loved Becuase it detailed how brutal pro golf can be
Mad respect mate! Your game is looking great! Once you groove the driver back you’ll be crushing! Sending you nothing but the best!
There’s no substitute for the pressure during true competition. Not that you haven’t been there before, but it sounds like it’s been a bit with true stakes on the line. Just keep racking up the experience in competition. I’ll follow along for the ride.

Keep it up brother. It’s awesome seeing you chase your dreams of playing pro golf. Can’t wait for more vids. Chin up kid

Couldn’t agree more. Ben’s take away is way slower than his downswing; I’m no golf coach but that’s prob why he is hooking left
Ben loves seeing this and wishing you the best of luck Thank you for sharing your journey. That is so cool the family was able to come through for you and support you by allowing you to stay at their place. Love the humor as well and again best of luck moving forward
You are one of the best golfers on youtube. Loved you on good good. Sky is the limit when you can get the driver under control.

The fact that you were playing most balls out of the rough and in the trees and still managed plenty of impressive saves. Once that Driver gets dialed come tournament time you’ll be 5 under per round easily. The short approach shots made my jaw drop with the amount of precision you had.
Got to keep the driver in the bag brother. Every other part of your game looks great. You could shot 4 under with 3 wood or iron off the tee
great video and editing job Ben , Bottom line golf is so hard , thank you for bringing us inside the ropes and hearing your process. Tough game you nstill played well and no doubt you will have better rounds ahead !
Always Press! Great that you got the q school list! Have fun in BC!
I watched the entire video. All your practice rounds and swings were fluid and smooth. Tourney starts and all of a sudden your swinging 110% trying to kill your drives. There are literally two Bens in this video.
your vids make me see the fun in taking a round seriously. Love the vids and I pray that youre successful on your journey Ben!
Props for showing up for that last hole. If nothing else, you increased your recent tournament days of golf by 50%. Keep hustling!
keep grinding ben! you have an amazing swing and great discipline, you just gotta get back in the groove.
Love the long form content, extremely well edited. Keep it up!!!
Also really enjoy your honesty and look into yourself you provide
In middle of watching this ...20 mins in.. am enjoying the fact I don't know the result yet .. and loving the production .. it's really good quality
Dude this video was awesome... keep it comin!
Love the journey Ben, great job!

Back to the roots. Love to see it.
Keep on pressing brother!!!
Golf is hard
I'm looking forward to seeing the journey!!!
Keep grinding man. The tournament mode will kick into full swing and the game will hit on all cylinders

Your gonna love crown isle it’s such a pure course definitely one of the harder tracks on the island tho

You have the talent,hope the best for you TH-cam or PGA.
Beautiful video. Felt so bad every time I saw the ball head left 😢. The rest of the game was on point. Driving can be fixed.
It was a very good round besides the tee shots ...
Yes ben, this is what we been waiting on!! Can't wait to see you crush it at q school and all summer!
Gotta play with what you got on that day. You’re way better than me Ben, that’s an absolute fact.

That was heartbreaking. Sometimes, heartbreaking is a great learning experience, and it is ALWAYS good content. Thank you for that!
That bit about 15 mins into a road trip, that connected to my soul 🤣

love seeing content at the home course, I got to meet you and wish you luck for a school
This is your best video!! Great job
This was my home course for about 4 years. It's fairly short but boy is it tough. Especially on a rough driving day. Keep grinding bro. It'll come!
great content. my son hates playing a practice round the day before where everyone is putting and chipping arond all greens. 7 our practice round are missrable some days. but some are necassary when they are not local
This is peak content. Huge fan of stuff like this. Keep grinding and inspiring 🤙🏻
This is the key to good golf grinding out scores when you’re off way to stay in it for hitting it all over the earth I’ve been there many times
Keep pressing Ben. Follow your Dream.
Keep at it mate. Good luck!
JUST MET BEN AND DUDE WAS SUPER COOL. Really took the time to talk and meet my son Jacoby. Hated to bother him because he was with his family but he like I said he took the time and had a good quick chat. Thanks Ben good luck!

Aww thought we were getting a Trunk slammers callback with that open!!! Keep it up BH !
Keep on keeping on Ben. It’ll come.
That drop in the hazard on 10 is some Mcilroy P Reed special
I've watched many of your videos, and this one just shows how difficult competition golf is. I'm sure you will do better next time and hope we get to see it
Incredible video Ben! Keeping grinding mate,
Hey Ben, even though your play wasn't up to your standards I really enjoyed this type of video. Looking forward to he next one, thanks for bringing us along the journey!
Always let it happen. Remember the feel and set up.
Really enjoyed this vid... looking forward to the next
Props to you for posting this. I wouldn't have if I were you.
I love your content, ive been playing since last june. Im a 32 hdcp, this level of play is insane.
What was the reason for picking up the put on 2 and saying nope, not in a practice round. It was going in right? What didnt i understand.
Love the vid Ben
really impressive keeping away from the big numbers, id be happy to break 100 from the spots you found yourself in
i appreciate the grind. keep going!
