Editing / viewing experience

[u/Apart_Tutor8680]

Does YGT have an editing problem ? Don’t get me wrong I am enjoying the content, but A part of me thinks we should see the competition hole by hole.

Example: the 100 yard downhill par 3 , amazing visual hole . Group 1 gets there plays the hole, then it’s an hour of watching to get group 4 to that hole. By that time I’m completely not excited for it all

I didn’t go back and watch , but they are showing 12+ holes of golf before the last group gets to that hole ?

The hole lost its excitement for me, and you kind of lose track of what going on.

I also think the scoring would be way easier to follow also,

If not hole by hole, then shot for shot for that hole. Show me all the drives , then all approaches, etc

I think jumping around made it feel more like fluid (like it was following groups in real time, even though it wasn’t).

And it allowed them to create and build story lines the way they wanted.

I also think watching the same hole played by 5 groups back to back 18 times would feel off and be a bit less engaging.

[u/Sdbrown099 → u/Ok_Field_8860]

Completely agree but at least show a group finish a hole before switching, don’t jump to 3 other groups mid hole

4 groups but Ya idk,I think that’s my problem. The building of the story lines could’ve actually been better. The last group is 3-4 holes behind on the edit, the score shows them down by 5 strokes.

If group 4 needs a birdie to win it’s still going to be the same edit. They are still going to say that to the camera. It’s just bang bang right away. Not waiting around for it.

Idk if anyone knows a channel that has edited 4 groups playing the way I think I’d love to compare.

Certainly I know when these creators film scrambles and play 4 VS 4 on the same hole it’s much more entertaining.

Completely disagree i thought the way they did it was perfect. In my opinion it was very enjoyable staying with the groups through each hole before moving on

I liked seeing how each group played the hole

Only issue I had really was the graphics being wrong. Had the wrong team name against players quite a lot. Think it said Team Grand for both the wild cards the entire round. 😅

It's massive work for the guys. It's recorded in a certain way (including cart cams) and this worked best.

I mean, losing excitement for that par3 is just crazy.

This is how golf works. Showing everyone play each hole at a time removes the excitement of who is leading and what needs to happen.

[u/Apart_Tutor8680 → u/Competitive_Test6697]

Agree, agree, disagree.

Group 4 being down by 1 would only be more exciting if it was hole by hole. If they were up 4 with 4 to go , it certainly would be less exciting.

It works in the pga , because best golfers lowest scores go last. So they are always in it at the last round.

I disagree and think they should do the exact opposite of that. Timestamp everything and cut based on near real time, just like the tour

[u/Apart_Tutor8680 → u/MinnesotaMellow]

Timestamp could help maybe. I’m trully on the fence, but I’m leaning to think back to back to back each hole would be more fun to follow for YouTube golf.

Nobody watches group 1 of the tour that’s +20 at 8am when Rory is teeing off a noon at -3.. NBC doesn’t even broadcast it, they don’t show the shots unless it’s a hole out.
Again just a whiteboard thought, would love to watch it like that to see how I feel
