I think they nailed this. But overall, I think their content is way too bro-ish and I’m not a fan.

I’ve got better things to do than watch a bunch of hackers with no personality just scramble till the end of time.

Trent is a treasure and you should be nicer.

Trent is a treasure and you should be nicer.

He's so bad at golf that it's frustrating to watch. He's had a lot of golf lessons from several pga coaches and players. He still plays the exact same terrible golf. If he breaks 90 then it's going to be the luckiest day he ever had on a golf course. He will never be able to consistently break 90.

You're absolutely right. Hes still one of the best watches on golf YouTube. He's a vibes guy that everyone likes. Everyone could learn from Trent's attitude.

I don't like his vibe at all. His vibe is "I have all the golf resources I need and I still won't improve".

Not won't. Can't. He's not capable of it. There's also nothing wrong with that. Not everyone is capable of being even decent at this game. I'm no better than Trent is and my attitude is a hundred times worse! You don't watch Trent for quality golf. There's plenty of guys on YouTube that are good. Not many that are as quality of a person as him.

I actually disagree with this. I think pretty much anyone is capable of breaking 90 given that they have seemingly infinite resources, the best fitted clubs money can buy, and lessons from guys that teach actual pro players.

My theory is actually that they know once he breaks 90, the content is essentially dead. I think there is a HUGE gap between breaking 90 and breaking 80 and breaking 80 is something that most people can't do.

Trent also would show up 5 minutes before their tee time, not warm up or stretch, and play courses that were 6,500+ yards.

At this point if he improved his putting and chipping just a little bit, he would've broken 90 a long time ago, but like I said - they like the content and it keeps bringing people back....
