00:00but i was finally i felt like i was finally on the up and up finally figured out some things and

00:03then luckily uh good good you know came to oklahoma to my home course i didn't know they were coming

00:08um they asked me to be in a video just out of nowhere and really that's where it started

00:13we're a little ship it was wild i i was just going out there practice was in the putting green and

00:17then garrett car just asked me if i wanted to be in this video he didn't know who i was he just

00:22saw me on the putting green asked if i wanted to play and um that's a god thing right there bro

00:27i'll tell you more about that it's the getting was good good is crazy the um i i never watched

00:36youtube golf when i was doing pro golf and as you know it's like if you go practice seven hours a

00:41day six out of seven hours a day it's like you don't go home and want to watch more golf like

00:46you want to just get away from golf as much as possible so i knew what i knew what good good

00:50was because they had some clips on social media like matt sharks home one stuff like that i never

00:55watched any videos and then literally about a month before i met them i started watching their

01:02videos like it was it was wild it was about a month before i started watching their videos

01:07and i was like man this is actually fun to watch it's like you know it's not you know pro golf at

01:11all it's just different like you know these guys are have fun personalities are fun to see just mesh

01:16together and um and then a month later they show up to my course and i'm playing with them which i think

01:22did that make you nervous playing by the way because like you you're just you're just coming

01:26off of what i would imagine to be just immense pressure that you have internally anytime you step

01:32on a tee all of a sudden you are playing under the lights of youtube golf with nobody around but some

01:39camera guys but you probably know what that pressure uh feels like to you know play in front of the

01:45cameras but what did it you know how did you play that day i mean it's different it's it's so much

01:49different feeling than like playing in front of broadcast cameras i don't know how to explain it

01:55really it's just i think it's the fact that you know that this video you're filming is going to get

02:00a million views like there's something about that that's like there's a lot of people gonna be

02:04watching me hit this shot and and i was definitely nervous that first t shot with that first good

02:09good video it was very nerve-wracking and we've had guests on the channel and they say the same thing

02:13it's like that's very nervous whenever you first kind of play on a in front of a youtube camera

02:17um i got my own problems uh the extra the extra people watching it they're just joining what i

02:24already got going on my head which is enough voices love it love it but um no it was it was fun though

02:33and we had we i had a blast doing it and also going to fact i was just as a god thing like so i started

02:40watching them months before which helped me know them better like which i think probably helped me a lot

02:45just you know um you know i knew their names i knew kind of i knew like bubby aimed 100 yards right

02:51on every shot like i knew some of these things about them that i wouldn't have known before

02:55they probably helped you on that day exactly exactly and then also going to the course is

03:00oaks international um that's where i mean i was playing at practicing at the time i there's a subway

03:06about a mile from the course and the whole time and you have to drive past the entrance to go to the

03:09subway and the whole time going to the course i just had a mindset like all right i'm gonna go to

03:13subway get a little sandwich real quick i'm gonna go you know practice this afternoon for some reason

03:18right before i got to the entrance i just kind of told myself screw it i'm just gonna go eat lunch

03:22at the course and and that's just another little thing that if i had like if i had gone to subway

03:27then i by the time i got back to the course i'd have been on like hole number two and i never would

03:32have met them and so there's a lot of a lot of little things that look back on now i'm like that

03:36was 100 you know god has a hand on my shoulder just leading me to you know meet those guys and

03:42really change my life in this direction and it's just so cool to think about and you know back to

03:48the swing issues it's like being in youtube golf was the perfect place for me to gain my confidence

03:55back because i finally figured out the few things that were going on in my swing i finally figured

03:59out the fixes instead of just a bunch of band-aids band-aids i finally figured out the two or three

04:04things that are like the main staples and what makes my swing good and what i need to work on to make

04:08it good and um but then youtube golf playing in front of the camera it's like the perfect

04:13the perfect storm of there's enough pressure with the camera on you that it will expose you if you're

04:19not playing well but also i'm not having to pay 1500 to go play in a major event right

04:24you

04:25you
