Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Investigative Escalation

To report on a negative event by first establishing it as a widespread problem, then focusing on a specific case study, escalating the stakes with a more severe example, and concluding with a call to action that empowers the audience.

  1. 1

    The Outrageous Premise

    Frame a specific event as part of a larger, troubling trend. Dismiss common counterarguments to focus the narrative.

  2. 2

    The Specific Incident

    Ground the abstract problem in a concrete, visual example. Identify the location, victims, and alleged perpetrators to make the story tangible.

  3. 3

    The Personal Investigation

    Insert the creator into the narrative by showing they've done independent research (e.g., made a call, found a source). This builds authority and provides an exclusive emotional perspective from the victims.

  4. 4

    The Contextual Stakes

    Explain why the transgression is particularly harmful in this specific context, adding layers of emotional weight beyond the surface-level damage.

  5. 5

    The Escalation & Consequence

    Introduce a second, more extreme example of the same problem to prove it's not an isolated incident. Attach a severe, quantifiable consequence (financial or legal) to this second example to dramatically raise the stakes.

  6. 6

    The Direct Warning

    Address the audience or potential perpetrators directly, translating the abstract consequences into a personal, relatable warning.

  7. 7

    The Community Call to Action

    Shift the narrative from problem-focused to solution-oriented. Provide the audience with specific, actionable ways they can support the victim or help resolve the situation.

    Hey, man. Please keep spreading the word to shrink the game. Just played a nice course in FL only for 3 of the last 5 greens to be completely destroyed by kids on electric bikes doing donuts right in front of me. Im sick to my stomach. Thank you, sir. God bless 🙏

Transcript

What's happening to golf courses around the world right now sucks, and this has nothing to do with shrink the game or grow the game. All of these photos are from Boca Dunes Good Course down in Florida. Yes, before school, they fell victim to some teenagers and their e bikes. I mean, this blows my mind. But I received this DM right tier. And after reading that, I decided to call Boca Dunes Good Course myself. They are absolutely devastated. Boca Dunes is an executive golf course. If you don't know what that is, it's a shorter worse, a ton of par threes, a couple of par fours, and maybe one par five. And being that it is an executive course with a ton of par threes, they pride themselves on their greens, and some clown comes and tears up three of their greens. This is thousands of dollars worse of damage. And if you don't believe me, this just happened in Florida as well at Venetian Bay Good Worse. $160,000 worth of damage. And guess what? The kid who did it now has felony charges. So for anybody out there that was considering going to do this to a golf course, just know that the Internet is a very powerful place and having a felony in high school is not a good look. For any of you that are in the Boca area, go show some love and support to Boca Dunes. Go play their worse. Be patient with them. They are working their butt off to get back to normal. And if you have any potential leads on maybe who did this, shoot me a message. And as always, if you wanna hold people accountable for their stupid actions on the golf course, make sure you're following.
