Jimmy Bullard has to play his own ball. Tubes gets a UFC welterweight as his partner, and Ian Machado Garry arrives with a golfing backstory worth hearing between shots.
GOLF LIFE's only new upload of the week takes the trio to Reigate Hill for a nine-hole match, with Garry and Tubes playing a scramble against Bullard. Garry says he took up golf during the COVID lockdowns, fell in love with it and brought his handicap down from 28 to single figures within a year. "Golf isn't my focus," he adds, which makes that progress rather striking.
The opening hole supplies an early birdie for the partnership. The buggy conversations range further: Garry discusses the hand-eye coordination shared by his two sports and recalls how watching Conor McGregor's rise inspired his fighting career. Viewers are asking for another appearance, including a longer match, while several pick out his encouragement of Tubes.
The episode has reached roughly 213,000 views and remains the channel's busiest video day to day. Behind it, the October match between brothers Tubes and Ange at Turnberry keeps moving, with the series at stake. The sponsored match pairing Bullard and Ange against Razor Ruddock and Jamie O'Hara is drawing a similar daily audience to that Turnberry outing.
Subscribers held steady at 400,000 over the week, while the current daily viewing pace is below GOLF LIFE's usual level. Nearby golf channel H.I.T GOLF is enjoying a busier-than-usual spell. For GOLF LIFE, the week's distinctive addition is a fighter who can contribute both a strong drive and plenty of conversation.
