Surprised so many people have Good Good ranked so highly. Garrett has absolutely zero personality, and the other guys are mostly just annoying. Grant and Micah made the right call leaving.
I have a young kid that plays golf. It was hard to find stuff to put on the TV that would entertain him and me, and there's only so much Dude Perfect a person can stand. Anyway, we found Good Good and it was a godsend. No cursing, no drinking, no killing, just guys showing how golf could be fun among friends. Perfect thing to put on for him with enough there for me too.
Fast forward and they do their first putter release and a meet up. I grab a reservation and pack my kiddo up to go meet them. He's excited to meet the funny guy that does flips (Matt). I don't know what I was expecting, but it was swamped. Keep in mind this was like two years ago, and there was a line maybe 250 people long waiting to get. We had a set time, so it wasn't a big deal for us, but as I'm standing there, I'm hearing people talk about driving in from Alabama, Florida, Utah, Colorado, etc. just to be at the event and meet the guys. It blew my mind. I'm sitting here thinking that this was going to be an in and out deal. I clearly did not understand the thrust of Youtube Golf or social media influencers.
Anyway, our time slot opens up and we walk up to the area where they all were. They all couldn't have been nicer to my son. The autographed his hat, took pictures, talked to him. They were cool with me, too. I joked with Bubbie about shoes and why he was playing in air force ones. Talked with pretty much all of them over the course of a 5-7 minute interaction. At one point, I was standing with Garrett and I just told him that I appreciated the content, that it was always positive and uplifting, and that I could put it on for my son and I to enjoy with no worries at all. He gave me this heartfelt response about how they really want to encourage golfers, and in particular young kids, and that it has been his goal to make golf fun for everyone, which was the impetus for doing trick shots to start out. My kid walks up during this point for Garrett's signature, and Garrett is talking with him and he fishes out a prototype of the Good Good golf ball out of his pocket and gives it to my son, and of course the kid is over the moon.
I was pretty impressed by all of them. No ego. No big timing. None of that. I think they all would have talked as long as I would have wanted had the press team not called time for the pictures. I took my kid over and bought some gear from their shop primarily to support their cause. I've purchased a handful of polos and Qzips since then for the same reason.
All of this to say that I get the appeal. They aren't making videos for me, but they are entertaining enough to keep my attention. I'd agree that I've watched less since the gang broke up, but I still watch a fair amount. Doesn't seem to be a problem for them, considering they have like 1.5MM subscribers. Heck, Garrett by himself has 1MM on his personal channel.
I'm sure some of them have developed egos by now along with their success. That being said, that interaction that day cemented Good Good as good dudes in my mind.
