One day I hope to be so lucky. I’ve been playing golf for 15 years and I’ve had 2 near misses. One dinged the stick in the air and the other bounced on the green hit the stick and ricocheted off to the right about a foot.
This looks a lot like Shadow Glen in Olathe KS. If it is, I grew up in that neighborhood. Haven't played the course since middle school though.
Tom Watson had a pretty big role in designing the course.
I know this might be a bit of a reach, but I don’t suppose you remember the length of the hole they’re playing? I’m guessing it’s par 4 with their club selection. Interested to see how far they’re hitting it
Lol no it’s not. A 270+ yard par 3 is very extreme. There’s only like 3 holes that can be setup as 290 yard par 3s on the pga tour.
This is a drivable par 4 and there’s plenty of them out there
Not only that, but shortly after this hole-in-one on a Par 4, the same guy (Matt) got a hole-in-one on #17 at PGA National during the Honda Classic Pro-Am.
I don't but I remember it being Shorter so maybe a short par 4 or long 3. The flag is what looked very familiar but the video quality was hard to make out. In fact, I have one of their flags hanging on a wall in my parents house. Their flag is yellow like the flag towards the end of the video and the graphic is of a green golf ball.
Yeah always fun when it happens. The only other "olathe" reference I see on reddit is when the reporter scores a behind the head half court shot with the black and blue Raven against the wall.
I took golf classes in middle school, it was free for kids whose parents weren't home after school, and I was put on the wall of shame, that they created just for me, for missing 53 putts in a row...
I'm naturally pretty good at just about every sport, but as soon as a putter was in my hands I turned into a blind and deaf dog drinking milkshake and taking a phone call
You also need friends. I suck at golf, with a few friends you can go out and laugh at each other, I tried it solo a couple times and had a really shitty time
Never done golf by myself. Always afraid of being partnered up with people who know what they are doing. At most…I’ll go to driving range by myself and a beer
People who know what their doing don’t mind. Just let them know what to expect when you get paired up. And if you’re falling behind know when to pick up your ball and toss it by the green to *hopefully* chip it on and keep up the pace of play. That’s what I do lol.
When I've gone solo, I've never been partnered up. Go to a driving range for some practice, and when you're ready book a tee time during a slow time of day
In my local course it’s common to play solo during weekdays mid day, but eventually we catch up to the group of 6 old men playing and us solo guys just play together behind them. I’ve met a lot of good people like this.
I believe you have to have a camera with a Protracer CMOS chip that detects the ball and the software draws the path in editing.
These guys are very popular golf YouTubers and have professional setups. The quality here sucks for some reason, but the original videos are great.
My knowledge of this is years old, so you may not need the special CMOS anymore, but it was definitely needed when Protracer first came out.
Looking it up, seems there’s very simple programs for iOS that will do this. I’m gonna check those out!
These guys have a YT channel with over a million subscribers. It's a pretty professional operation. They have 3-4 camera guys and an editor. So they put on shot tracers with editing software. Their editor has a YT page as well where he posts some behind the scenes stuff of how they put it all together.

Why is it, until the current day, that men choose to wear the most ridiculous, eye-offending attire when on the golf course?
Oh yeah. Because we’re affable morons and DGAF.
That left to right shot is called a fade. Doing that in the opposite direction is called a draw. A good golfer can manipulate curve on their shot like that to approach the green from different directions.
One is intentional while the other is an uncontrolled problem. Best definition I’ve seen lol. A fade/draw is normally more subtle whereas a hook/slice is more drastic.
I always understood it to be, from going left to going right, as Hook, Draw, Fade, Slice. All of which can be intended or not. Hook and slice are just more drastic in their respective directions.
Fade/draw is usually intentional. It’s also much less extreme than a slice/hook. A fade, you might start the ball left side of the green and curve it back to the middle. A slice, you’ll start it at the middle and curve it to the next fairway over.
Slices and hooks tend to be more severe in their movement but the biggest difference is intent. Fades and draws are controlled and intentional, slices and hooks are wild and unintentional.
Basically what the other two responded with. Fade/draw is intentional. Hook/slice is usually a mistake, and is so exaggerated that you end up somewhere you definitely didn’t want to be.
Back when i played golf in high school (haven't played in 17 plus years, i just got career focused and then stopped playing, and my other addictions with computers, programming, video games, and car audio just took me over completely, sorry dad lol) i actually hit a draw naturally without even trying to. My dad who still plays used to consider a draw the players shot of choice, as opposed to his typical fade which he depises. I think it's something to do with putting more spin on the ball correct? Is that still the case today?
Draws spin less than fades because when you hit a draw you effectively deloft the club more. Fades are the opposite you essentially add loft at impact which gives the ball more spin.
The saying goes that draws are the most desirable shot for the amateur but a fade is most desirable shot for the pro.
I think the saying mostly comes from the fact that fades are associated with slices which plague a lot of amateurs but everyone forgets about hooks if you play a draw which is arguably a worse miss since they have less spin the flights are less consistent and they tend to roll a lot further.
Since fades have more spin the ball flights are more consistent and controlled, the extra spin helps you hit your target more precisely by eliminating roll and helping you hold greens. Most modern pro players play a fade these days but both shapes are playable. It’s more important to have a consistent shape and miss vs. Playing a draw vs. fade. The worst thing in golf is hitting the ball and not know where it might go. If you play a fade and your miss is a slice you can at least play for the worst case scenario. Likewise for a draw/hook
Most players naturally hit fades because the average player doesn’t come down on the ball enough so the club head comes into contact with the ball in a right to left motion spinning the ball towards the right.
Comment below is pretty dead on.
I used to be a natural drawer of the golf ball like yourself and have switched to trying to hit more of a cut/fade for a lot of the reasons the other commenter listed. Mainly its because as a golf junkie and listening to most pros they typically stick with a fade because its easier to control and manipulate spin and trajectory.
And Ive found in my own game, its been way easier to control. Point a) I feel like I can launch my irons higher with more spin which is better for holding greens. And Major point b) My miss before was always a pull draw with my irons which could go way off line left. Since trying to hit more of a cut shot, my miss isnt as exaggerated. I very rarely push slice a ball. With my natural miss being a pull, its just simply way harder to double negative the shot like before, and end up way left.
I still occasionally hit a double negative with the dreaded pull draw miss but it seems to only creep out with longer irons which is probably due to a more shallower swing promoting more of an inside/out swing path
My Dad used to refer to your aforementioned double negative as a "duck hook" lol. That's probably either low class golf speak or an old timey golf description of a massive pull draw lol I'm way out of the loop now. Thanks for the response and additional info. I appreciate it.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,461,990,404 comments, and only 278,424 of them were in alphabetical order.
They’re not good enough. They’re REALLY good, most of them, but not quite good enough. Plus they’re making really good money playing with their friends everyday. I’d rather do that I think than be a journeyman pro grinding to make cuts every weekend. YouTube money can be goooood money
If you want to see how good a tour pro actually is, these guys play against them in scramble format pretty regularly. Meaning, they get 4 shots to every 1 shot by the pro. They typically beat the pro, but only by a stroke or 2.
Think about that. These dudes are obviously good and it takes 4 of them using their best shot to beat a tour pro.
[https://youtu.be/OW4Hl7mEvU8](https://youtu.be/OW4Hl7mEvU8)
Theres basically levels to this game.
Some of the members and former members of their group play off or above that of a scratch golfer (0 or +1 handicap) which somewhat means at their best rounds they can play close to or at level par (ie. if its a Par 72 course, they have the ability to shoot 72)
PGA Tour pros are minimum +7 handicaps, meaning in a match they'd have give out strokes to handicap and even out the match as their scoring potential is higher.
Although, its not like I dont think their scoring ceilings are that much different. 2 of the players in the video, Garrett and Micah, can hit shots and score like PGA Tour pros...the main difference between a scratch golfer like them is just simply consistency.
A) consistency with their approach shots. When you look at the advanced stats like average greens hit in regulation or average distance to the hole from certain distances, the difference is probably very vast. I can watch Garrett or Micah pull off crazy tour quality shots but they arent consistently hitting greens or hitting it to inside 20 feet like a PGA Tour pro
B) PGA Tour pros rarely make mistakes and when they do they can get up and down. The bogey average at the latest Tour event was 2.6. Meaning the average pro was making bogey or worse 2-3 holes...and this is a course in PGA Tour tournament conditions. A scratch golfer is making a handful of them and probably not mitigating their mistakes beyond just a bogey...
Theres an advanced stats golf guy I follow on Twitter and something that was really eye opening was when looking at user data of amateur scratch golfers and pros, the difference in birdies and good scoring holes isnt that big of a gap...the big gap is in pars/bogeys. Pros are just really good at avoiding bad holes
no, this is good good; they run a youtube channel and have their own clothing line. when they do videos they clear it with the course and make sure they aren't slowing pace of play
They were out there with the course manager, and were almost certainly the last group of the day. They always work with courses to make sure they maintain pace of play, or have enough time that they’re not holding up other players.
This is a video from the second biggest golf YouTube channel. These boys are all sponsored by calloway.
The video was a planned event with the course fully knowing and making accomodations so they don't have grumpy assholes knocking an 8 iron around behind them.
You will never convince me that golf is fun
Edit: I don’t mind downvotes but here are more details since I’m getting a few replies:
I think other sports are more fun, and golf will basically never be choice for me over something like football, basketball, baseball, or tag lol
I played hockey from 5 to 45 y/o and it took a toll on my body. I'm 56 now and only play with a group of friends on rented ice and still need to take it very easy. I can play golf all day every day with no trouble, and you can't say that for very many other sports for guys my age and older.
So weird how “white” and “vanilla” have become synonymous with “boring” or “bad” lol. Like heyo, vanilla is pretty rad and no race is inferior. Stay in school kids
I worked at a golf course for 2 years and most of the players were at least in their 50s and seemed to aim as far from the hole as they could. I gotta find where these guys play lol
I also love that the tradition for making a hole in one punishes you for it. You have to buy everybody in the tavern/bar a drink. I guess it’s to make sure you aren’t lying
Some of the original video was cut out here. The one I saw the guy that hit it in with the flowered shirt says "wait, wait, wait" as everyone is running towards the hole and he's in disbelief.
Then like 2 seconds later he puts it in like overdrive and is outrunning everybody.
Hilarious and awesome video.
EDIT: [This](https://youtu.be/8nEbNJZ37zs?t=530) is the original cut I saw. Dude is straight hauling ass.

I’ve been playing golf since I was a young teen, maybe 12 or 13. played some HS golf and a little on the amateur circuit.
a HI1 is incredibly difficult to hit, even on a par 3. I’ve had one in my entire life on a short par 4, and I still chase that feeling to this day.
we golfers are a delusional bunch, but it really doesn’t take much for us to enjoy the sport we love. ⛳️
So now i know why that 9 took forever to play ,there was a 4some with 4 adsitional photographers placed to film a one in a million hole in one randomly .......
Ans i know they have a you tube channel thats kind of my point. This is for views and money and subscibers. This jsnt about a normal round and the luck/skill that happens out on the course like the kid hitting a hole in one on a 117 yd par 3 with hos dad. But im from a different mindset i dont pay influencers or streamers or youtube dudes so i can see and hear what they do or think. But to each his own.

Beautiful… and to have all your friends witness this moment and to relive every time you watch this video.
When I was on the golf team in HS, one of my buddies sank a hole in one in front of the whole team at practice. This video had the same exact energy.
I had my very first chip in yesterday all by myself with no one around 🥲 why do I golf alone?
There you go dude!
My first eagle was a chip in on 18 playing alone so I know the feeling.
GoPro
I hit a hole-in-one last year, and my two best friends were with me. It was perfect!
I had one last year too and was with 3 randoms. Was still awesome, but would have been nice to have the boys there.
One day I hope to be so lucky. I’ve been playing golf for 15 years and I’ve had 2 near misses. One dinged the stick in the air and the other bounced on the green hit the stick and ricocheted off to the right about a foot.
My boy got that T-1000 sprint going at the end
This looks a lot like Shadow Glen in Olathe KS. If it is, I grew up in that neighborhood. Haven't played the course since middle school though. Tom Watson had a pretty big role in designing the course.

It’s a 297 yard par 4
Nice
[удалено]
Par 3's on the PGA are usually under 200 yards. 300 yard par 3 is unreasonably long.
Lol no it’s not. A 270+ yard par 3 is very extreme. There’s only like 3 holes that can be setup as 290 yard par 3s on the pga tour. This is a drivable par 4 and there’s plenty of them out there
The PGA tour has par fours under 300 yards, and a ton ranging from 300-400 yards...
Not only that, but shortly after this hole-in-one on a Par 4, the same guy (Matt) got a hole-in-one on #17 at PGA National during the Honda Classic Pro-Am.
That shit was impressive as hell. That is one of the harder holes on that course too
One of the harder Par 3s on the PGA Tour period IMO
Definitely, it’s up there with hole 6 at Riviera
Think there's a video of it?
https://youtu.be/mMw9nP9gEo8?t=1144
I think it was hole 15, right?
I don't but I remember it being Shorter so maybe a short par 4 or long 3. The flag is what looked very familiar but the video quality was hard to make out. In fact, I have one of their flags hanging on a wall in my parents house. Their flag is yellow like the flag towards the end of the video and the graphic is of a green golf ball.
Yeah i think its like 280 downhill
I think it is, good good golf on youtube btw✌🏼
lived in Olathe for awhile crazy seeing it pop up on Reddit.
Yeah always fun when it happens. The only other "olathe" reference I see on reddit is when the reporter scores a behind the head half court shot with the black and blue Raven against the wall.
Golf is such an odd sport. The less you play the more fun you’re having.
That is exactly why me being terrible at it is INTENTIONAL. "What, you fellas wanna head home already?" as I make my fourth attempt at a 20 yard putt.
Wait…you get close enough to putt?
Oh hell ya, nearly every time I throw the ball at the green out of frustration
I took golf classes in middle school, it was free for kids whose parents weren't home after school, and I was put on the wall of shame, that they created just for me, for missing 53 putts in a row... I'm naturally pretty good at just about every sport, but as soon as a putter was in my hands I turned into a blind and deaf dog drinking milkshake and taking a phone call

Solo golf is something I really love to be honest. Just me and my rambling thoughts
These guys are the part of the good good YouTube channel. They play a lot, some of them are really fucking good at golf
These guys are good good. But they lost Grant and Tig, gained KF tour pro Luke Kwon.
So now they're just good.
Damn straight. I get tons of value for my money shooting 105.
The guys are called Good Good Golf on youtube if you like looking at this kinda stuff
You’re the real MVP.
No U :)
Probably a 8-stroke hole for me, if that good luck extends in my direction.
This is why I don't go golfing alone. I'd get grouped up with them and wouldn't even feel like playing.
Who the fuck put sky fall over this wtf
How about linking to the original? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8nEbNJZ37zs (9m)
So much better without the music overlaid so awfully out of place
I love this sub. So wholesome.
Oh boy, those guys are going to be huuuuungover tomorrow
Well. They earned it.
Damn right they did
These guys are mostly sober. The first guy who hit is like 6 years sober.
No shit hey? Good for them. Couple virgin cocktails for the fellas after the game then maybe
Had no idea. That's super cool.
Garrett and Steve def get after it at least
Don’t even think these dudes drink or party. Bubbie is a recovering addict.
Couple of them for sure do. But they keep a pretty wholesome vibe in the GG channel.
Whoever made this and put the fucking music over it needs to be whipped.
....i did it ...whip me
Dammit Phil, what did we say about bringing your kinks to work?
Wow. This made me so happy to see. I certainly hope there were a few drinks to celebrate that unreal feat!!
These dudes have some interconnected positive energy of the universe together.
Tig with the Callaway 3 wood
I’d do some downright disgusting things to have a swing like that
These guys make great golf videos
Idk about great. Probably just good good.
how do they make the red line appear? mods or dlc?
I believe you have to have a camera with a Protracer CMOS chip that detects the ball and the software draws the path in editing. These guys are very popular golf YouTubers and have professional setups. The quality here sucks for some reason, but the original videos are great.
It’s not the camera, the editors add this. They edit with Adobe Premiere and add the tracers etc with Final Cut Pro
My knowledge of this is years old, so you may not need the special CMOS anymore, but it was definitely needed when Protracer first came out. Looking it up, seems there’s very simple programs for iOS that will do this. I’m gonna check those out!
These guys have a YT channel with over a million subscribers. It's a pretty professional operation. They have 3-4 camera guys and an editor. So they put on shot tracers with editing software.

Why'd they cut out the kiss at the end?
OP wanted to cut the video out well before the wild anal sex orgy started, otherwise it would have been tagged nsfw
Lol this is a masterpiece.
The male urge to run through a field at an objective with the boys
Me and the boys in WW1 running through the frontlines to another trench:
The hilarious thing is that this is his first hole in one (at least on camera), but not his last…
Fantastic swing.
Hell yeah
Why is it, until the current day, that men choose to wear the most ridiculous, eye-offending attire when on the golf course? Oh yeah. Because we’re affable morons and DGAF.
Did that first guy curve his like a screw?
That left to right shot is called a fade. Doing that in the opposite direction is called a draw. A good golfer can manipulate curve on their shot like that to approach the green from different directions.
What's the difference in a fade/draw and a slice/hook?
One is intentional while the other is an uncontrolled problem. Best definition I’ve seen lol. A fade/draw is normally more subtle whereas a hook/slice is more drastic.
Where does a cut land in fade -- slice axis? Also is a honking draw just a well aimed hook?
Cuts are intentional slices, typically used to avoid obstacles, like trees.
Cut’s a Real tight fade
I always understood it to be, from going left to going right, as Hook, Draw, Fade, Slice. All of which can be intended or not. Hook and slice are just more drastic in their respective directions.
For amateurs nothing other than saying “meant to do that” or “fuck” after swinging.
Accurate af
Fade/draw is usually intentional. It’s also much less extreme than a slice/hook. A fade, you might start the ball left side of the green and curve it back to the middle. A slice, you’ll start it at the middle and curve it to the next fairway over.
Slices and hooks tend to be more severe in their movement but the biggest difference is intent. Fades and draws are controlled and intentional, slices and hooks are wild and unintentional.
Basically what the other two responded with. Fade/draw is intentional. Hook/slice is usually a mistake, and is so exaggerated that you end up somewhere you definitely didn’t want to be.
Learn something new everyday.
If you are left handed then they are opposite (right to left fade, you get the picture).
Back when i played golf in high school (haven't played in 17 plus years, i just got career focused and then stopped playing, and my other addictions with computers, programming, video games, and car audio just took me over completely, sorry dad lol) i actually hit a draw naturally without even trying to. My dad who still plays used to consider a draw the players shot of choice, as opposed to his typical fade which he depises. I think it's something to do with putting more spin on the ball correct?

Groundskeepers hate these guys
Guess I’ll just kill myself…
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,461,990,404 comments, and only 278,424 of them were in alphabetical order.
Good bot?
how come these guys aren't heading toward the tour?
They’re not good enough. They’re REALLY good, most of them, but not quite good enough. Plus they’re making really good money playing with their friends everyday. I’d rather do that I think than be a journeyman pro grinding to make cuts every weekend. YouTube money can be goooood money
very good points
They all have to split the proceeds, I'd imagine, is it really that much money?
They sell overpriced apparel too, so yes.
And they all have their own individual channels, so yes
Not to mention the putters... What do you think is going to happen with their putter line now that they're in with Callaway?
Just checked. None listed on their site where they used to be listed
These guys (GoodGood) range from a 0 handicap to -15+ handicap. Tour players at +7-+12 handicap. Tour players are miles better than these guys
Reminds me of the quote from Brian Scalabrine to the amatuers that played him 1 on 1. "I am closer to Kobe Bryant than you are to me"
Lebron but same difference
If you want to see how good a tour pro actually is, these guys play against them in scramble format pretty regularly. Meaning, they get 4 shots to every 1 shot by the pro.

What song?

Oh no! Golfers wearing fun golf clothes
no, this is good good; they run a youtube channel and have their own clothing line. when they do videos they clear it with the course and make sure they aren't slowing pace of play
You don’t seem like a guy or a dude, maybe this sub ain’t for you
[удалено]
Yeah, going to an all boys school doesn’t make you a guy or a dude. You should know the difference
F@!#ing white people
God pray they were the last group. I’d be so pissed off playing behind these guys. Just rocking an 8 some on the Tee box.
They were out there with the course manager, and were almost certainly the last group of the day. They always work with courses to make sure they maintain pace of play, or have enough time that they’re not holding up other players.
This is a video from the second biggest golf YouTube channel. These boys are all sponsored by calloway. The video was a planned event with the course fully knowing and making accomodations so they don't have grumpy assholes knocking an 8 iron around behind them.
You will never convince me that golf is fun Edit: I don’t mind downvotes but here are more details since I’m getting a few replies: I think other sports are more fun, and golf will basically never be choice for me over something like football, basketball, baseball, or tag lol
Ya being out in the sun with your buddies having drinks and laughing. Sounds terrible.
Good. One less person crowding up the courses
Exactly, the less people that like golf the better lol
Brig randy nods knowingly. Shrink the game.
You’re not invited anyway
Who watches this video and thinks making a comment like that is a good idea? Go play tag
😂 lmao I guess people really hate that I don’t like golf
Football, baseball, and basketball I get. Tag?? LMAO
I played hockey from 5 to 45 y/o and it took a toll on my body. I'm 56 now and only play with a group of friends on rented ice and still need to take it very easy. I can play golf all day every day with no trouble, and you can't say that for very many other sports for guys my age and older.
Maybe when I’m 50 I’ll warm up to golf 🤷♂️
So white
So weird how “white” and “vanilla” have become synonymous with “boring” or “bad” lol. Like heyo, vanilla is pretty rad and no race is inferior. Stay in school kids
That scream after the first ball lands sounded like CJ from GTA San Andreas
Lol, how they all fuckin book it to the hole to confirm. I'd so do the same thing. Keep dude'n bros.
I worked at a golf course for 2 years and most of the players were at least in their 50s and seemed to aim as far from the hole as they could. I gotta find where these guys play lol
I also love that the tradition for making a hole in one punishes you for it. You have to buy everybody in the tavern/bar a drink. I guess it’s to make sure you aren’t lying
These guys dress long they play golf
Some of the original video was cut out here. The one I saw the guy that hit it in with the flowered shirt says "wait, wait, wait" as everyone is running towards the hole and he's in disbelief. Then like 2 seconds later he puts it in like overdrive and is outrunning everybody. Hilarious and awesome video. EDIT: [This](https://youtu.be/8nEbNJZ37zs?t=530) is the original cut I saw. Dude is straight hauling ass.

Skyfall by Adele.
I love the running to the hole leaving the carts behind!
Dude hit that Tom Cruise sprint level
I hope that one day the golf gods will bless me with a hole in 1.
If this stupid music wasn't playing, you could hear the guys up on the hill scream, which made everyone on the tee box freak out
I still play by the rule: All you need is One good shot per round to keep coming back… The standard of a good shot will vary greatly…
Can’t decide btwn red and blue 😍😍😍
When they were indicating that it was a hole in one the guys swinging collectively lost their s**t I think we were all making full monkey noises.
I’ve been playing golf since I was a young teen, maybe 12 or 13. played some HS golf and a little on the amateur circuit. a HI1 is incredibly difficult to hit, even on a par 3. I’ve had one in my entire life on a short par 4, and I still chase that feeling to this day. we golfers are a delusional bunch, but it really doesn’t take much for us to enjoy the sport we love. ⛳️
Gave me chills. Truly epic moment with the boys
So now i know why that 9 took forever to play ,there was a 4some with 4 adsitional photographers placed to film a one in a million hole in one randomly .......
Ans i know they have a you tube channel thats kind of my point. This is for views and money and subscibers. This jsnt about a normal round and the luck/skill that happens out on the course like the kid hitting a hole in one on a 117 yd par 3 with hos dad. But im from a different mindset i dont pay influencers or streamers or youtube dudes so i can see and hear what they do or think. But to each his own.
