Good Ole Bethpage. Welcome to Long Island!
Edit: That birdie on 14 was nice.
Edit 2: Just wanted to share a quick story: Everyone always said my uncle was a great golfer. In the past few weeks I have been spending a lot of time with him because he was sick. I learned that he once shot 2 under at Bethpage Black. He passed away yesterday from cancer, but watching this was like walking the course with him and being proud. Nicest man I ever knew. Love you Uncle Chuck

your love for golf is absolutely infectious. "I love bunker shots" "I love Driver off the Deck" "I love getting to hit full short irons". I would feel so at ease if I were to get to play a round with you. even though I'd shoot around 100, you'd probably just be an unstoppable positive force the whole time. you consistently make golfing look like the best thing in the world.

Now living in Fort Laudy FL, but born and bred NYC not 30 minutes from Bethpage, itās so nostalgic seeing content like this !
Believe it or not growing up as a NY state resident I never paid more than $75 to play BP Black. Oh how spoiled I was having an all world, Tour & Majors used ( and upcoming 2025 Ryder Cup ) track to play pretty much on the regular and whenever I wanted.
Every year as the golf season came to a close, due to winter weather in the NorthEast, there was nothing like playing BP Black to measure where your game was. That track is a true & absolute golf barometer.
Now living in Florida for 10 years there are very very few things other than proper bagels & pizza that I miss about the GulaG thatās better known as New York.
Seeing content of Bethpage State Park, the national treasure it is with its 5 tracks, floods all of the greatest golf memories I have growing up there !!

I canāt tell you enough how much I enjoyed watching you play this course. This is by far my favorite round of golf on YouTube I have ever watched. I could say it was the course that made it so special, but in reality it was watching you enjoy yourself. You remained positive and focused while keeping your enthusiasm in check throughout the entire round. This is what the game of golf is all about, simply having fun! Canāt wait to see what lies ahead for you on the PGA Tour. Keep up the positive attitude and the great golf play and it wonāt be long before you win your 1st tournament and major. Well Done!

Really glad I got to watch this. It brings back many memories of some very good golf and days when the Black Course just kicked your butt . I started playing the Black course when I was about 16. Played it into my 40ās when I moved my company out of Long Island NY. Back in the day we use to drive to the course at 11.00 or 12:00 midnight and sleep in your car to get an early tee time. They weāre called bakery tickets. Girlfriends and wives were not to happy with this arrangement but we were golf nuts and loved it. Thanks for the memories.

Iām new to golf and so I am learning so much on this. But Iāll subscribe because honestly your optimism and watching you play that course really does bring to lie why the joy and the sport is really there. I get it there will be bad days as in any sport, but seriously the optimism really does help someone push through a bad day and kick some serious but great job man.

Itās super subtle, but Grantās mental game is absolutely incredible. Hits it into a bunker on a par three āi love bunker shotsā starts bogey, par save, par save slaps his next drive into the thick stuff āHavent seen a good swing yet, but these are the fun days, these are the days where we just keep grindingā honestly incredible, wish I could play that loose

I'm 64 now and admit playing the Black many times (probably 30) and my best score is 100 (when I kept a full score card). The first time I ever walked this course was in the 2002 Open and I had not even played it yet. Length is important here and the fact that you MUST walk adds at least 10 shots alone for me. The greens are pure and you actually are relieved just to get there and make a putt. Add the wind you played in and it becomes a very difficult day. I enjoyed watching you play this course to see some of the same areas I've played into over the years only you recover well. My favorite round on the Black, by far, was when my neice came up from Florida and at age 13 she shot an 82. She was exhausted. (Thank you for the memory, Megan). Her Uncle Fred stopped scoring at the 12 hole... LOL

Grant, what a great round!! I played this course the first week it was open ahead of the ā09 US Open. Now Iām not a scratch golfer at all. I had broke 90 once. But walking that course with my roommate was amazing!! I pared the same par 3s you birdied and pared hole 10ā¦everything else was triple bogey or worse. My bag even fell into the large bunker on 17!!! But it is still my favorite round of golf I ever played, and I shot a 118!!! Thanks for the video and reminding me of that great round with friend, who passed away 5 years ago!!!
