Lame.  Why even show this?

I love how the picture with the driver face's toe side "oopsie" marks was included! 🤣

[lazyjc4]

His caddie should be fired, immediately.  Those clubs are filthy! 

[BraxtonFullerton]

Clean your clubs Trent.

Thanks for sharing! This is pretty interesting as the vast majority of golfers, including myself, are probably closer to Trent than the Jordan Spieth. 
 

To that end, it’s interesting to see TM put Trent in the Stealth+ 3 Wood. I always assumed, apparently incorrectly, that  Stealth+ was for better players, not someone using Game Improvement irons. 
 

Also, TM makes awesome clubs, but I just can’t get on board with their putters.

I figured he could at least bum a Amino Vital towel off of someone and someone could show him how to wet it and clean his clubs. Also may need a lesson on how to clean grooves with a tee too. I may play 30+ year old irons and wedges BUT I do know how to use a wet towel after every shot. BTW you or someone on here needs to enlighten me anyhow-- Who is this guy?

He's a podcaster with Barstool... pretty popular with younger guys (me, not so much, can't stand anything Barstool)

Ok thanks I guess I was not aware because I am not one of the "younger guys" 

[J_Tizzle]

I hate these Barstool guys, mostly from being jealous, partially because I just don't like Barstool in general...

 

I followed Riggs stuff during Covid when he just lived at Pinehurst for like a month.  It was super cool that he did that.

Yes my first instinct was to say something mean and then I realized I wish I got to play golf as much as these guys. I don't watch their content because I don't like them but man they live a good life.

Lol, there just 4 guys under the barstool sports umbrella who do a golf podcast (I don't listen personally) but they do quite a bit of Youtube stuff and get access to a lot of tour players due to their partnerships with companies like TM ect. Their main thing is they play against tour players as a 4 man team scramble, and if you can take it lightly, it can be mildly entertaining, and occasionally very funny. 

 

They seem to get a lot of hate and jealousy towards them online due to the access and opportunities they get. People like to bash them by saying they don't deserve it because they aren't high level players. But for those of us who don't take it so personally, and just enjoy it for what it is (free entertainment) it's alright.

Thats all totally fair.  It was an offshoot of the Barstool stuff after it went big, so they already  had a following inherent from Barstool itself.

 

Kinda reminds me of the Chive guys honestly, but at least Barstool actually covers sports somewhat.  If you want the best "influencer" for covering sports, look no farther than Jomboy.  He is hilarious and actually has real sports input, but he doesn't cover golf from what I've seen, which is a shame.

What is a "podcaster?" Is that a profession?🤣😂

[BraxtonFullerton]

@BIG STU Yeah I, in general, hate everything Barstool, especially Portnoy for being such a dbag...

But Riggs is a good guy, what he did for those collegiate women who lost out on their NCAA championship due to COVID is a great service to the game and I hope he continues to do something similar going forward.

 

Trent is a gem and watching him baby-bird it out there on the course is fun; especially when he winds up in a bunker.

Their 4-Play scramble vids vs. tour pros is amazing, definitely recommend watching the ones vs. Kisner & Homa.

[capifico22]

OP- great job

 

Anyone taking this or themselves too seriously - don't

[beckk10]

These guys are so terrible at golf for having the access to equipment, lessons, and time that they have. 

[capking]

Pretty great to get a WITB from Trent

I'd say so.  One of the guys from the podcast bought a house on Pinehurst #2 for over a million.

Portnoy created the Barstool Fund which raised nearly 30 Million Dollars for struggling businesses during the COVID19 Pandemic. He helped numerous business keep their doors open with the non-profit during their time of distress. He may not be everyone's cup of tea but he's done more for small business than anyone else I can think of.

Because your game is closer to theirs than of a tour pro.

Donating money does not make him any less of a piece of garbage human being.

That might be true, but when you get a free bag from TM and WRX posts it just because it's Barstool, it's lame.

Thanks for your thoughtful insight. Clearly you don’t like the guy, this is a golf forum, let’s keep it that way.

Actually, that’s precisely what it makes him.

P.S. - This WITB is kind of silly. A bone stock bag of TaylorMade sticks, tremendous. 😆
