Satirical Masters golf experience recapfrom @officiallysonny

[01]

Overview

The creator delivers a deadpan, satirical monologue about how attending the Masters golf tournament has fundamentally changed his identity and made him feel superior to others. He intercuts his direct-to-camera address with B-roll footage of the pristine course, his food, and the crowds, using dramatic black-and-white close-ups to emphasize his exaggerated reverence for the event. He concludes by stating that the experience was so transcendent that everything else in golf is now second best.

    I went to the masters

Transcript

Hi, my name is Sonny and I went to the better. Now that I've attended my first better, I can safely say that I am better than most people. After you go to the masters, you kind of just walk around with a little pep in your step, a little different strut than you would before. Once you've experienced something that so few people have, you hold that near and dear to your heart and I plan on making that my full on identity now. Going to the masters is probably the pinnacle of anyone's golf career on or off course. Stepping onto the grounds for the first time, I didn't think Augusta could be better than it looked on Tier, and I was wrong. The grass is the most perfect green grass I've ever seen. Every edge of the bunkers was perfectly cut. The contrast between the flowers and the green grass and the pine straw, the feeling of just being in there is something that you can't even put into words. The first time you actually get there is better than you ever could have expected. A lot of people think that not having your phone makes things a little bit different, but when you realize that there's thousands of people without their phone and every single one of them is just there doing the same thing as you, watching golf and enjoying the scenery. Realize that it's bigger than golf. I don't think I'll ever stop going to the Better. I need to find a way in every year because after you've seen it once, you know what the top of golf is and everything else just becomes second best.
