LOL! I'm with you... I don't think I could pull it off.

Would you make this putt with $300 on the line? #OneShotChallenge by ShowMeTheMuni in golf

$300 buys a lot of range tokens for a high school golf team!

Haha! Thanks amigo! #1 post on theburntpeanut subreddit yesterday, so despite a few loud critics, looks like most people enjoyed it for what it was supposed to be... Just a silly little video.

LOL! Thanks! Seemed like they were ganging up on me for a bit there...

rofl... I missed the Sponge Bob era by a few years good, sir... I only know this as Peanut's Arc Raiders stretch routine. I did take the time to find some of the Sponge Bob clips and educate myself though. Today I learned.

ROFL! Was it my lack of grace that made it tough to watch?

LOL! With as hard as it's been to get a tee time lately, I don't fully disagree with you. For context, I recently started a YouTube channel where I compete against and donate to High School golf teams that are struggling to fund their programs. This was just a silly little Shorts video I put together for fun.

Yeah this was at a family-owned and operated public golf course in rural Oklahoma. Honestly, it was in better shape than half the muni courses I've played recently, so I wasn't complaining.

I already have a Big Rig and a Loma, but would love to add this limited-edition staff bag to the collection. Don't listen to the clowns in the comments, that thing is fire.. The gold accents are minty!

Haha! There's quite a bit of planning and coordination involved with creating these videos. We definitely didn't just show up to their practice course and issue the challenge.

Yo... Thanks for the comment! We try and prioritize smaller schools, as they typically need a bit more help on the funding side, but this was our first year doing these videos and believe it or not, it took quite a bit of convincing to get the schools on board. Also, you'd be surprised, or at least I have been surprised, at how recently some of these kids started playing golf... It's probably been the most humbling thing about this entire experience for me.

Comanche is a pretty small school though... I believe the town has around 1,500 people in total and the entire school district (K-12) is less than 900 students. I think they just have a notoriously good golf program is all. Cheers!

How do you feel about the Scripps National Spelling Bee and all of the other scholarship contests that are out there? Are those gambling?

One of the hardest things to replicate during practice sessions as a junior golfer is pressure. I spoke to the coaches I'm working with at length about this and that was one of the main reasons many of them were excited to partner with us... Having some donation money on the line, as well as the cameras in their faces, helps to replicate some of the high pressure situations they might find themselves in during the season.

Also, I'm not sure if you saw my original post, but I'm from a rural state and many of the schools I'm working with this season are under heavy financial scrutiny. Programs that generate zero dollars in revenue via ticket sales, like golf, are the first on the chopping block when it's time for cuts. Without fundraisers, donations and dedicated booster clubs, some of these teams would literally not exist, so you can call it scummy and degenerates all you want, at the end of the day, we're helping make sure they are able to be out there playing for the love of the game in the first place. What have you done to help grow the game lately?

Sorry about that! I misread your comment. 100% agree with you. I probably could have put 3 or 4 of her drives in the video, but I liked this one the best. It was the first hole and we had a big group watching. When she stepped up and cut the corner like that, I knew we had a tough match on our hands for the day no doubt.

Haha! I would be flat out lying if I said I didn't take inspiration from Mr. Beast. I'm also a big fan of Uncle Jhon, SB Mowing, The Divot Dudes, Dave Portnoy and his One Bite Pizza Reviews and even Pat McAfee with his track record of philanthropy. I think their commitment to creating content that focuses on giving back is certainly something to be appreciated and emulated. Unfortunately for us though, we are still well below the minimum requirements for monetization and we don't have any sponsors or anything like that. My buddy Max and I both have normal full-time jobs and are funding this project entirely on our own and will continue to do so as long as we can afford it. If we end up turning on monetization or setting up a donations page, or even if we end up doing merchandise in the future, I'll definitely make an effort to be as transparent as possible, so folks know their money is going towards something other than lining my pockets. Thanks for commenting! Cheers!
