Fore Play takes on Pardon My Take in a 3v3 scramble

The full match went up Wednesday morning, and the clips started rolling out right behind it. First stop: the opening tee box, where Dana picked up a nickname.

Dana Beers aka “The Stick”

"The Stick" is a heavy tag to hang on a guy who hasn't hit a shot yet. It could be praise or it could be a setup. With Big Cat on the other side of a scramble, bet on setup. The trash talk started on the first tee and never let up, and the match was still all square heading into Hole 2, a 494-yard par 5.

That's where things got ugly around the green. Big Cat posted the evidence himself with about as dry a caption as you can write.

Tough hole

Somebody delete this clip forever. The @PardonMyTake boys are struggling green side.

"Tough hole" is doing a lot of work there. The fair summary of the whole video is some truly bad golf with the occasional great shot mixed in. That's the formula for these Barstool scrambles. Nobody's tuning in to watch tour pros. They want grown men in hoodies chunking wedges while their coworkers lose it in the cart.

By Thursday morning, Dana had seen what people were saying about his game and gave his own scouting report. It was not a man embracing "The Stick."

This is very nice. But I absolutely crumble under any pressure whatsoever. Been battling yips for years

After watching the @barstoolsports golf video, I have one takeaway. @danabeers needs to drop everything and focus on golf. Fundamentally best swing at Barstool.

Crumbling under any pressure at all and fighting the yips for years is a rough thing to admit in a match built on chirping. It's also the most relatable thing anyone said all week. Not everyone on that team crumbled, though. A few minutes after Dana's tweet, Fore Play put out the shot of the match from his teammate.

THEY DONT CALL HIM JERRY WEDGES FOR NOTHING!

Jerry Wedges. On a team with a self-described yips guy, that's the kind of dart that keeps a scramble alive. Fore Play was still posting clips from the match on Friday, so there's clearly more footage where this came from. The full video is on Fore Play's channel. If this pairing gets a rematch, the trash talk on the first tee will be the easy part to predict.
