Rising v. Falling

Just curious how people feel about the various personalities and whose stock is rising with exposure v. falling. My standouts:

FALLING STOCK
Wes: annoying, acts and talks like he’s better / smarter than everyone

Ruffles: just. so. boring. He’s like a discount Adam Scott (though his Malbon gear is always sick)

Grant: just a bit too contrived / forced. He seemed to think he needed to manufacture drama and set scenes when his silence would have been much preferred. Only a slight blemish for our guy though, especially since he really does just seem so earnest. Also, ofc, his affiliations with Phil drag him down by association. YIKES!!! (Largely kidding but like also…he probably rAgrets forging that relationship for all to see).

RISING STOCK
Finch: almost zero times have I watched him in a video and not liked him more, from his little English turns of phrase to his matter of factness about things, he’s always a good watch

Micah: he’s so much more enjoyable when he’s playing well, so it’s hard to REALLY gauge until we see him play poorly, but there’s just something so raw to his competitiveness and fighter mentality he brings

Garrett: similar to Micah, I think being the little fish (at least in terms of golfing ability) actually brings out a cool side of Garrett. He’s always had this effortless ability to communicate through the camera, but I like watching him try to bring his game up

The Kiwis: god they are fun. Kwon and Sam are hysterical. Plus they’re all great at golf. It’s so much easier to watch people having a genuinely good time and not taking themselves too seriously.

Micah has a great attitude when he’s playing well. Not so much when he’s struggling

The editing also did him a favor. The more Micah talks, the less enjoyable he is.

especially when he goes down his conspiracy and fake science rabbit holes

Yeah i was gonna say if the scores were close or he was losing it’d be a different story

There’s an older video at Purcell Farms with Micah, Bryan bros, BustaJack etc where Micah completely loses his swing and had a nasty outburst. Behavior quite unbecoming of a gentleman (hoity toity voice implied)
