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. 

 

bOooo. Just skip this post then! If you listen to Trent or watch any of their videos you will quickly realize that Trent is a super nice guy who is super down to earth. The Fore Play guys realize how insane and ridiculous it is that they get to do what they do for a living and they fully acknowledge that. Don't hate on the guys just because they got a lucky break and get to do something that they enjoy.

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

Riggs is listed as a 4 handicap, lurch is also a 4, and Frankie is a 9.  I wouldn’t say that’s anything close to terrible.

I would say their handicaps are on the generous side. Ever watch their travel series/stroke play videos? Pretty liberal with their gimme’s and penalty drops at times

I hear that and you’re probably correct but the same could be said for 95% of all golfers with a handicap.

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

 

Then why do you list your bag in your signature? Bunch of boring stock sticks there as well...

Not an apt comparison, but okay, I’ll play ball - Look closer at my signature. The only “stock” clubs are my wedges and putter (which is a revolving door anyway).

LOL . If those are true then I am a +6. Which I am not. They suck at golf for playing a lot with access to free equipment fittings and lessons. Those handicaps are the definition of vanity handicaps. I thought someone on golfwrx would know better.

These guys can't break 90.

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. 

It is possible to hate Barstool and respect Portnoy.

Why does this thread exist?

Nice resort rental set

[SUPERG]

Don't mind Barstool WITB stuff or the idea that these guys get access but Riggs and Frankie have the wildest vanity caps ever. Lurchy Divots has a legit handicap and at least normal level hand eye coordination so he's a what a WRX user would consider a solid golfer.

I love that they are dirty.... haha

 

rock on Trent

All your clubs can be ordered right from the manufacturers websites as is. Nothing special about it. If you don't like what these guys do, don't comment on it.

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

Riggs bought a house on Pinehurst? I thought he lived in Scottsdale?

It's also possible to respect Portnoy for some of the things he's done and simultaneously find him a ****** for many of the other things he's said and done as well 😆

He still lives in Az. He bought the place at Pinehurst as a rental property, renovating it with a barstool/foreplay theme catering to golfers who make the journey to Pinehurst.

Damn. Must’ve missed that. That drop on a podcast?

Yup, he’s put a couple videos on his IG as well. It looks really nice.

Would you have preferred I used the phrase, off the rack?

 

Thanks for your input, but I will gladly comment on any post I choose. This is a golf forum after all and my comment was completely on topic.

Lame.  Why even show this?

Obviously he got the full bag free & that's about as interesting as it gets. +1 on lame!

[capking]

Will Tillery be able to get him to break 90 before he can get Rickie into the top 100 OWGR again? In all seriousness 90 is a big jump for him, especially since he’s playing tough courses with lightning greens.

Because it already has more engagement than the WITBs for most tour pros. And the more comments it gets, whether positive or negative, will lead to more content like this in the future. 

[courcy75]

I can certainly understand one not liking Barstool/Portnoy but good god do some of you sound miserable.

If TaylorMade had a boxed set, this would be it. 😅

I will give them that they almost never play a "home course" and that all their scores are played at tons of courses.  You get pretty comfortable playing your home course all the time.  But I would agree, even with Riggs putting stroke, him being a 4 is  a stretch.

His chipping is unreal though, so he can probably scramble pretty good.
