Creator plays a hole of golffrom @grillguy
[01]
Overview
The creator invites the viewer to play a hole of golf with him, starting by introducing his new Stix golf clubs and praising their quality. After showing a bad drive where he slipped, he substitutes it with a better shot from a previous hole. He then narrates his subsequent shots on a par 5—a long second shot, a chip onto the green, and a final putt for a birdie—before ending with a direct call-to-action to buy the clubs with his promo code.
