The Ryder Cup is over and the PGA Tour’s fall schedule is already delivering winners like … Steven Fisk (sorry, Steve). It’s only rational to find yourself wondering if you’re going to survive long, dark hours until the Masters, but fear not. Thanks to the magic of YouTube, golf is a year-round content game now, and The Feed is here to break down all the week’s new and noteworthy videos. So kick off the spikes, wash your hands and sit down at the table. It’s time to eat.
Good Good Goes Thrifting
The Good Good boys took a bite out of the Big Apple this week and learned two valuable lessons:

The LIRR is never on time.

In the city that has everything, you can never find what you’re looking for.
Just ask Matt Scharff, who went thrifting in Manhattan this week for Good Good’s NYC Thrift Store Golf Challenge, a used-club, best-ball match pitting Scharff, Garrett Clark and Bubbie against Brad Dalke and Sean Walsh. To even the playing field, Scharff did all the shopping, picking out the best clubs for his side and the worst clubs for Dalke and Walsh. Of course, as Scharff quickly discovered, NYC thrift stores don’t have the floor space or clientele for golf clubs, so he ended up in the used section of the New York Golf Center instead. There he unearthed a couple gems, including a Scotty Cameron putter for his team, but he couldn’t find a driver, so he ended up buying one off a Good Good fan, who met them at Joe’s Pizza in downtown Manhattan. Apparently the Good Good army rolls deep.
While nice to get a break from YouTube’s typical country-club backdrop, the NYC sojourn doesn’t overstay its welcome, as the guys make their way to Pine Hollow Country Club for the mix-and-match showdown. That’s where Dalke and Walsh are introduced to sticks for the day—including a Callaway Big Bertha driver from the iPod era (women’s flex, of course) and A PUTTER FOR ANTS!?!?

From there, the video settles into the platform’s now patented rhythm of decent golf and mild trash talk (including a particularly silly Harry Potter exchange you should scrub through for sanity’s sake). What we do learn watching Dalke and Walsh battle the limitations of their equipment, however, is that good golfers are good golfers no matter what they play with.

We here at Golf Digest are in the business of advising you what to buy and we work with countless OEMs on a daily basis, but this video shows that great equipment won’t make bad player great, but it can make good players a little bit better. The difference of great (and fitted!) equipment exists largely in the margins and if there’s a moral to this story, that’s it.
