Narrative framework
The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Ego-Check Hierarchy
A top-down classification system that sorts an audience into tiers based on skill or status, while directly confronting the ego-driven reasons for self-misclassification.
- 1
The Elite Gatekeep
Starts with the highest/most aspirational tier. Defines its rightful inhabitants and aggressively disqualifies those who don't belong, directly attacking the most common false claim or excuse.
- 2
The Skilled Practitioner's Zone
Addresses the next tier down. Defines this group's characteristics and offers validation, framing this tier as a respectable and appropriate 'home' for them.
- 3
The Common User's Reality Check
Addresses the largest, average group. Defines their level, then preemptively voices and dismantles their primary ego-driven objection to being placed in this category.
- 4
The System's Manifesto
Briefly pauses the ranking to explain the benevolent purpose of the classification system itself, framing it as a tool for improvement and enjoyment, not for shame.
- 5
The Inclusive Entry Point
Addresses the beginner/lowest tiers. Defines their users and offers unconditional acceptance and encouragement, creating a safe entry point for newcomers.

What Tee Box should play?
Transcript
So let's talk about what tee box you should be playing. Starting out from the tips. You best be a scratch golfer or approaching scratch. If you've never broken 80 in your life and you're teeing it up from the tips, what are you doing? And it's always Tier. I just hit the ball really far, man. Nobody cares. Not even the car girl. That's not going to impress her. Move up a tee box or two. One up from the tips, which is typically the blues, is for tier single digit handicap golfers. You can go out there and shoot a 77 or an 87. And until you're mid to low seventies consistently, this is your home, and that's okay. Two up from the tier, which is typically the whites is for your 15 to 25 handicappers. And a lot of you are gonna say, I don't belong up there. If I play from there, I'd be a scratch golfer. Okay. Go play two rounds from there rank tell me how much your score changes because it won't be by 10 strokes. Tee boxes are literally parameters for your skill level. This is not to embarrass you. Then you have the two most forward tee boxes, usually the gold and the red, and these are typically for older golfers and beginners. And if you wanna play from there, that is fine. A lot of golfers need to swallow their pride. It'd be too easy if I moved up a box. Grow up. Golfers not playing the correct tee boxes is one of the reasons pace of play is such an issue.
