Film Room - Spieth & Neil vs Soly & JT at Kapalua

Probably there in case JT had actual course questions pre tournament for Bones.

Spieth on the other hand was in “Fuck it, Michael ain’t here let’s rip a 5 wood” mode.

His guy was taking the GC Quad out on many shots on course. If JT is putting in work, Bones is going to put in work.

SO many memorable moments:
-Neil’s driver drama
-Spieth saying “Soul-ey” which had to have been a bit, and was a damn good one
-The JT humidity bit…FOLLOWED BY
-Spieth getting off a JT humidity joke…RIGHT BEFORE
-JT hitting one of the, legit, greatest shots I’ve ever seen…RIGHT BEFORE
-The putt gets missed and I lost my mind laughing at the glorious absudity

That was great. I would pay a ridiculously overpriced ticket and popcorn/soda price to watch a Speith @MerchCzar buddy comedy RIGHT now. Great pairings. And, lowkey impressed by how the two pros made a course/tournament I’ve been hate-watching for years seem almost cool.

But that Spieth/Augusta thing…

Yes, we got beat bad, but I played pretty good outside two driver swings and a couple mediocre 50-60 downhill wedge shots. Those shots came at some inopportune times, but 2nd round with new sticks, some nerves, and a crazy course, I don’t think I was in “Jordan, you gotta understand, I’m so much better than this” mode.

And, I don’t care if it’s Kapalua or Jax Beach, I’ll always hate losing to Soly, so that’s nothing new!

Golf is the best. Don’t think we’re seeing Steph and Klay playing 2 on 2 with whatever the basketball equivalent of NLU is anytime soon.
Bravo to @Soly and @MerchCzar for holding their own on camera with guys that have combined for 5 majors and 30+ professional wins. Playing on camera amongst fellow golfing muggles is one thing… playing on camera with those guys is something else.

Great job guys this one was so fun to watch! I’m sure it was so fun to do too! JT and Jordan are real deal banter boys. That shot out of the tall stuff from JT was too SICK. So many great moments in there. The Jordan/Neil team is actually some provocative shit, gonna hit some bad ones-gonna make some birds, fuckin love it.
“We haven’t even gotten to the deep cuts yet” fucking sick Genghis shit

Well done, we salute ye!

Soly fluffing that one and the reaction was about as good as it gets

Of the thousands of online comments I’ve read about this video, this is the FIRST one that has acknowledged that this is maybe slightly outside our comfort zone :joy:

come on, it was like any Pro Am gig except you knew JT already
and you just didn’t have to write a big check to get in the Pro Am LOL
well done, super fun for you guys

Have to imagine your heart rate went up a few ticks for that birdie putt on 14 after the FIGJAM concession and wanting to pay off JT’s trick shot. Any other shots/putts that were especially uncomfy?

It’s “Sully” now

Pretty sure I heard Sahith drop a Soul-ly during the Kapalua preview pod as well - it is catching on

@Soly, just change the spelling to Sahly, so no one gets confused.

As long as people stop calling him Chris, which is always jarring I don’t care how they pronounce Soly.

The first shot, off a downhill lie, no idea how far the clubs go, hungover, cameras on…. Not great!

It’s not exactly nerve wracking as much as it is not natural to play golf on camera. Wait for people to get into position, know you’re doing it for entertainment more than your game, etc. It’s very hard to get into a flow no matter how smooth the production flows.

Hungover, first shot on camera, whatever….

Sohhhhly is going to land that thing.

joking aside…
first shot being a downhill lie AND hungover?! That’s nightmare fuel.

Is Spieth getting a Film Room bump this week?
