Golf has a couple minutes between shots to share thoughts, gather info, etc. Stuff that professionals do differently and that nerds of the game find fascinating, providing real time technique insights /course management decisions /club selection/handling expectations etc. You get to experience everything from a golfer's round, up close and personal, from the first tee shot (warm up, hell, if he wants, his morning coffee). It could be an entirely different feed or even streamed to the tours YT. This kinda stuff would be amazing and I am here to say that I love the stance Grant has taken. It likely benefits everyone in the long run if this decision gets the traction he is looking for! Yes, there are KFT and aspiring golfers who deserve that spot in the field, I agree. And it likely takes a couple trials with YTbers to ultimately get to a full XX holes of walk and talk with a pro, who is not stealing a sponsors invite from a grinder. Nobody likes change, and nobody is more focused on upholding tradition than golf, but I think with how technology is advancing and how content is being consumed, golf provides a perfect platform to create an entirely different way to broadcast sport! Try it! If it fails, oh well. If it takes off, we have a whole new way to consume professional golf!
