⛳️🔥 A hole-in-one and why YT golf is winning 🔥⛳️
GM. This is Easy Pars. The golf newsletter that can’t wait for you to get your first hole-in-one! (Or have you already? Let us know!)
Here’s what we’ve got for you today:
The Memorial Tournament is turning heads.
Another YT golfer got a hole-in one!
The best golf content out there.
Are you watching the Memorial Tournament?
You should be. The PGA pros are treating it like a major. Don’t believe us, just look at the leaderboard after day one of play.
From Scheffler to Schauffele. Morikawa to McIlroy.
The big names you expect to do well… well, they’re almost all doing well.
There are also the up-and-coming stars, like Akshay Bhatia, Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland, and rookie-turned-pro Nick Dunlap.
You know it’s a stacked field when we haven’t even mentioned Tommy Fleetwood’s in the top 10.
Obviously, there’s a lot of golf left to play, but so far this is a tournament to watch.

Robby Berger, or Bob of “Bob Does Sports” is not a pro golfer. Him, Joey ColdCuts, and Fat Perez go around playing with the top names and doing hilarious food challenges on the course.
Mostly, they play scramble.
In their latest video (linked below), Bob makes his first hole-in-one. Here’s the moment in an X post:
What a game this is. How can somebody so bad, do something so good?

Here’s why it matters.
Just over 9 million people watched the Sunday round of the Masters. FAR fewer are likely tuning into the Memorial Tournament.
Bob Does Sports?
They’re logging nearly 2 million views a week — each and every week.
Just in the last 30 days, the channel has nearly 7 million views (according to a YT tool, called SocialBlade)
Golf, shifting as it may be, hasn’t lost steam. That heat’s just going somewhere else.
Here’s the full video (language warning for those with little gators around):
