So much potential to this idea and this execution blows. It's all par 3 right? At night? A normal team 4ball on a normal course in daylight would be much more intriguing.

from what they said too it’s only 14 holes and 4 of those they’ll turn into par 4s. Still odd.

youtube broadcast just started theyre playing 3 holes as drivable par 4's 

[jimecherry]

decent sized crowd its like a mini twitchcon but for youtube golf ;}

[jimecherry]

100k viewers 10 min before the peacock window. 

[jimecherry]

aint going to lie not seeing alot of great shots from these guys maybe they dont have enough cameras as there are some decent scores on the leaderboard.

[kmbean]

This Matt Scharff character really thinks he is something special.

[jimecherry]

looks like the cold drove the gallery away even though at ~50 i would still be wearing shorts ;}

[kmbean]

I’m not a fan of Riggs but is this dude ok?  He seems completely trashed doing this commentary.

As expected, kinda crummy and gimmicky 

 

the setup definitely gave way to a random group winning.

I’m in Phoenix and it’s not that cold.

 

People probably got bored too deciding to wait till 11 for it to be over.

This was somewhat entertaining.  Not counting the pros and ex-pros a few of them have really good swings.  I don’t pay attention to Paige S so I had no idea, she has a solid swing and can play.

 

George Savaricas showed some of his personality, he’s funny.  

My golf friends and I like to have fun on the course and we are very low key.  I know there are cameras there and they need to play it up but some of these guys are so overly dramatic it’s ridiculous.  Very phony feeling.

Too late for me,  anyone have the results? So I don't have to watch the whole thing. 

[bcjim]

Well, after skimming the video, Ben Kruper and some guy I never heard of won easy. Kruper is intriguing. 

 

Pretty sad showing for the actual pros in the field.

 

And I'd like to see the full results if anyone has a link.

wesley and george had a reasonable shot at tying the lead but they went par, par on the last 2

i wonder why i cant find a full leaderboard anywhere maybe they should have partnered with bluegolf also.

this video has the full leaderboard at the end. whole vid is an interesting watch the peacock/goodgood broadcast followed the crowd for the most part as there were very few spectators on most holes of this vid.
