YT Golf Talk

With Internet Invitational Season 2 now in the books, it’s time to hand out some awards! Our expert panel has put their collective heads together to find the winners across a range of categories, some illustrious, some not so illustrious. Unsurprisingly, our awards board is plastered with the faces of our three champions, with Fat Perez taking out the MVP award after leading his team to the Promised Land without that Whoop heart rate monitor even registering a spike.

All the details of each award and its winner can be found on our website, or at the link in our bio.

Who’d we get wrong?

Take a look at the (approximate) player scores from the Episode 4 singles matches at the Internet Invitational! A serious mixed bag, with the likes of Ruffels, Wes and Evan taking roughly the same number of shots through their nine holes as the Duke did in four.

A caveat that there were plenty of guesses here, so it’s not a perfect scorecard. Discretion had to be used when holes were conceded with putts still to be made, while a handful of holes also weren’t shown. As an example, if a hole between good players wasn’t shown and they tied, we gave them pars – if the same thing happened with worse players we gave them bogeys. For the vast majority of holes though, each player finished and it was shown, so these are pretty accurate.

Prizes for the hardest holes to judge go to PFT and The Duke. PFT remained 200 out from the green after 6 shots on 15 and conceded the hole, so we generously gave him a +6 for that one. The Duke took 9 shots to get to the fairway on 13 before conceding; we even more generously gave him a +10 for that one.

Day 2 of the Internet Invitational is done and dusted, and the grades are in! Which high performers from Day 1 fell in a heap, and who bounced back after stumbling out of the blocks in the first two episodes?

A reminder if you didn’t see last week’s grades: these are based on how a player was expected to perform. Think of a B as ‘Met Expectations’ – otherwise a guy like Wesley would still be an A relative to the field in the worst round of his life, and the opposite for the Duke and Callux.

🚨 Behind the Scenes of Your Golf Tour 🚨

Had the pleasure of chatting to Wil Mayo, Senior Director of Sales and Marketing @RamsHillGolf, earlier this week. Wil was heavily involved in getting the tournament there after Teeth of the Dog fell through, and dished out some great intel on how it came to be at Rams Hill, setting up the course, and what goes on behind the scenes of YGT.
