I find this much more interesting than BDC. Hope he makes it.

100% agree. The videos I’ve watched where KB films his rounds....he’s got a pretty good game. I’d definitely follow him on the tour.

What's impressive is how often Kyle drives the ball onto the fairway despite his crazy length.

Well he could probably get around many courses teeing off with a 5i....lol.

Why? BDC is a proven winner. KB just makes ball go far haha. I’ve watched several of his course vlogs, and they are fun to watch though. I just think it’s cool to see a guy change everything to go after distance and play at the highest level. Pretty interesting to me.

There was an video in which he hit his 8 iron 302 yards. 302.

It will be fun to watch for sure. My Evolvr instructor uses Kyle for some of my drills.

Because BD is a bit of a douche and KB is cool.

Eh I think that card is overplayed. I don’t know any of these guys personally. Tiger cheated on his wife with troves of women and no one cares. BDC made a dumb comment toward a camera guy about his brand. So what? I try to give the benefit of a doubt and reserve judgment unless I know the person personally.

This is true though it seems. I like his videos.

I’m not a BDC fan. I find him whiny and entitled, and his “different” approach to the game strikes me as obnoxious because it seems at times done just to be different.

So is Patrick Reed. Couldn’t care less about him, either.

My sentiments exactly.

Benefit of doubt can only be given until someone does enough things to prove doubt is no longer warranted. You don’t have to know someone personally to gain an understanding of their character.

He’s a proven cheater though. There’s a difference. That character flaw is measurable as a violation of the rules.

Good luck to him. I hope he's learned to putt.

I doubt that’s the most important skill he needs to learn.

Seems like taking a page out of Jamie Sadlowski's book. Good luck to him. Absolutely 100 percent welcome.

He would certainly add color if not depth to the tour, but who knows, might turn out to be an absolute magician with the putter.. 😂

This is kind of the Tony Finau route, no? Finau had lots of distance, not KB distance, but dialed it down for control.

There's a video at the end of the piece where he doesn't do the rocking thing.

I bet some of the USGA folks are like, gawd, I hope he doesn't get anywhere with this.

I kind of want to see him succeed just to dispel the notion that big burly people have no touch, finesse.

I didn’t realize whether or not I liked a professional golfer needed to be vetted by the Rules of Golf.

BDC is a repeat offender of 5.6.

He’s listed as 6’3”, 215. He’s not that big.

I agree with you there.

However, I’m not going to be so quick to judge a person whom I don’t know just because they play slow, the media portrays him as a “mad scientist,” or he screwed up once in how he dealt with a camera guy.

To me, it’s no different than that one guy at the drive thru that got your order wrong once or like a poster on this forum, like me 😂, who went off and got warning points. Haha. I’d hope we have a little more compassion, or at least patience, for each other than that.
