Transcript

Have got some breaking news coming out of the YouTube golf space that we have to talk about. Brad Dahlke has officially left Good Good. Brad has posted an entire YouTube video explaining his reasoning, so go watch that. But just a few months ago, Brad went public with some pretty personal information involving him and his wife. And, ultimately, I think this man, Brad, just wants to be home more. What happens behind the scenes for a good good video or these massive good good events they do or the travel series, it is grueling work. So a lot of you guys that are, oh, they just worst on YouTube. They have the dream job. They are also working their asses off. But I'll say it because it does come as a shock. Brad has been a staple in good good for the last three years, and it certainly comes as much more of a shock than when Grant decided to leave good good. But who knows what's next for Brad? He's got a couple of professional tournaments, the Rocket Classic in Michigan. He's got a DP World Tour event. He's a captain on the YGT, Grant Horvat and the Brian Bros good tour. Though Bad has a ton of things coming up in the pipeline, but it sounds like what was the best decision for him and his family was to separate from Good. But I do wanna hear your thoughts on Brad Dahlke leaving Goodgood. And, also, if you wanna stay up to date on everything happening in the golf world, make sure you're following.
