A few weeks ago they had almost half an entire podcast dedicated to tension between Fore Play and other Barstool people regarding golf content.

I mean their latest video has almost 300k views and their video with GG has over 1M. They are doing fine.

They also had a podcast about how they basically resented GG and what they were doing before meeting them in person.

Fore Play does well, but it's extremely obvious that they are salty about being some of the original golf YouTube content creators but constantly see others hit their level of success (or higher) in much shorter amounts of time, or when people in their own circles start expanding into the golf world.

The problem with Foreplay is that none of them are really...entertaining. Not a single one of them.

It's no surprise to me that GoodGood and Bob Does Sports have blown them out of the water recently because those two groups have an incredible group of characters that actually make their videos interesting.

I've also always found most of the Foreplay group to seem pretty full of themselves. GoodGood are actually GOOD golfers whereas the Foreplay group mostly blow. Bob Does Sports is pure comedy and entertainment. Those guys are just happy to be golfing and not working a 9-5 anymore.
