00:00Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the 2025 Barstool Minigolf Open Qualifiers taking place
00:06at Puttery.
00:07My name is Conor Griffin, joined by Brandon Walker.
00:10Now, here's how it's going to go, folks.
00:11There will be two qualifiers, one in New York and one in Chicago.
00:15Each city will send six representatives to compete in the 2025 Barstool Minigolf event
00:20in Chicago this April.
00:22Today, we have Barstool New York, and Brandon, what are you expecting to see?
00:25I expect to see a challenge.
00:27These Puttery courses are set up perfectly.
00:29They're cool places to play, fun places to play, but they're also challenging, and our
00:32fat idiots will probably struggle a little bit.
00:34Love that.
00:35Barstool Minigolf is brought to you by Pink Whitney.
00:38Pink Whitney is the go-to shot.
00:40Pink lemonade meets smooth, refreshing vodka.
00:43Pink Whitney also has a new label, easier to find and buy, and looking better than ever.
00:48You can also grab the new Pink Whitney 20-pack Shot Bucket, perfect for any party occasion.
00:54Take your shot with Pink Whitney.
00:56Hey Dude.
00:57Whether you're warming up on the range, practicing on the putting green, or kicking back at the
01:01clubhouse, Hey Dude has you covered.
01:03Their lightweight, ultra-comfortable stretch sock styles are perfect for those off-course
01:08moments, before, after, and everywhere in between.
01:11With a soft, flexible fit and effortless slip-on design, they're the only choice for ultimate
01:16comfort when you're not in your spikes.
01:18Step into Hey Dude and keep that easy-going feel long after the final hole.
01:23So now we get ahead to the action here at Puttery, where some dreams will be realized
01:27and others will be crushed.
01:29For Kahns in particular, it's a pretty solid day for him on the course.
01:32He finished two over par, as you can see right here.
01:35Got some nice rolls, a perfect hole-in-one right there, and he was really just having
01:40a good command of everything as we go from different hole to different hole, and he was
01:44on fire from start to finish.
01:47Captain Kahns rarely comes to the office, but comes on Minigolf Day.
01:51Kahns will be joining us in Chicago.
01:56I don't like that look into the camera.
01:59Now we head over to Rico Bosco, and it is safe to say that it was a disappointing day
02:04for Bosco.
02:05Started off and immediately was just in a torture chamber.
02:08Really shocked Rico Bosco doesn't have the mental capabilities to withstand this event.
02:12Holes were given him, fits left and right.
02:14He really seems to be rattled, which is out of character for him.
02:18Not that he has character.
02:19The frustration building more and more as Rico got in his own way.
02:24He finished plus 35.
02:27Totally different day for Ken Jack as he started out really, really solid and pretty much kept
02:32that the entire way.
02:33Didn't get too hot-headed.
02:34Had a couple really nice holes, the hole-in-one right there at Puttery.
02:38This is a beautiful course.
02:39Look at that shot by Ken Jack.
02:41He'll be qualifying for Chicago.
02:42I've never liked Ken Jack, actually.
02:44He's doing fine, and I'm sure that was a nice shot.
02:48I'm not really liking him that much.
02:50Frank the Tank, after his really disappointing performance last year.
02:55We had the blow-ups in Chicago.
02:57There were even more blow-ups today.
02:59Had a real hard time with this hole in particular.
03:02We got a goddammit count on Frank for this tournament.
03:05Goddammit!
03:06Jesus, fuck!
03:07I put the over-under at 231.
03:09He was not happy.
03:10We saw the tank get loose in this one, finishing with an abysmal plus 26.
03:16The cons of Ken Jack, they really separated themselves from the pack here.
03:20But there were some people who were a bit more in the middle who were really vying for
03:23contention here.
03:24John Rich being one of them.
03:25Ah, here's a psycho.
03:27What is that stance, John Rich?
03:29Ass out?
03:30Like one of our TikTok girls.
03:32He finishes on the day 12 over to put himself in the mix for the cut.
03:38Dana Beer started extremely hot until he got to that dire fifth hole.
03:44He absolutely melted down on hole five and hole six.
03:48He shot a combined plus eight on those two.
03:51Nothing was going right whatsoever, and that completely dashed his dreams to qualify for
03:56Chicago.
03:57This guy's an athlete.
03:58You'd expect him to do well in these competitions, but these holes at Puttery, they're not playing
04:01around.
04:02That one's over a beer barrel.
04:03You would think Dana would be good at that, but no, he actually gets hung up.
04:08Dana, sneaky fat.
04:13Over to Vibbs, another guy who was right there in the middle, very much in contention.
04:17He had some really strong holes right here.
04:18Got down to his knees.
04:19You can see the passion from Vibbs right here.
04:22Really fighting to get to that cut line, wearing the Caitlyn Clark jersey and everything.
04:27He was really feeling himself on some of these holes.
04:29Let's take a current look at the scoreboard.
04:31Drama at the cut line between KFC, Casey Smith, Roan, and Tommy.
04:36Our employees aren't that mentally strong on this Puttery course.
04:39Let's go out to the course live at 16 with Roan, who is plus 13.
04:42I believe he's right in the mix for this thing.
04:46Solid shot.
04:47Or not.
04:48I really can't tell.
04:49No, he seems flummoxed by it.
04:52Roan is rarely flummoxed.
04:54Are you kidding me?
04:57I don't know that I've ever seen a flummoxed Roan.
04:59That just fucked me so bad.
05:06Oh, no.
05:19No, this might be a meltdown.
05:21A rare meltdown from Roan.
05:29Now he's just restarting.
05:36Oh, my goodness.
05:37Oh, no.
05:38Oh, no.
05:39Is this a full-blown collapse by Adam for Roan?
05:47Is that legal?
05:48Are we allowing that?
05:50That's going to be a six for Roan there.
05:56Now we go to KFC on the 14th.
05:58He's 12 over on the day.
06:03Tough break for KFC.
06:06That seems fine.
06:12Oh, no.
06:14So KFC came into the 14th in contention, and he is having yet another breakdown.
06:25They say it's 90% mental.
06:28Clear frustration from KFC.
06:32Six it is.
06:34But now we go back to 16 with KC, who sits at plus 14.
06:37And talking about meltdowns, nobody can do it better than this one.
06:40Hi, KC.
06:41Wow.
06:43Man, I'm going to get so many angry text messages after this.
06:47But it looks like she's come through.
06:49She's OK.
06:51This is quite the hole right here.
06:53I'm referring to the puttery course, of course.
06:56Holy shit.
06:57OK.
07:04Three.
07:09Three.
07:10KC finishes with a three there.
07:12Over to Roan on 17 after his six on 16.
07:16Probably needs to par better coming down the stretch to remain in the mix here.
07:21Aggressive line, but boy, these puttery holes are unforgiving.
07:25There's doors.
07:26There's ramps.
07:27There's everything everywhere.
07:30But if he's calm and collected.
07:33I literally just got in there.
07:35He's going to be OK.
07:42That didn't seem right.
07:43Are we allowing that?
07:44There's so many things here that I'm just not sure we should allow.
07:47It's a three.
07:48Oh, OK.
07:49Oh, is it really?
07:51It's a three.
07:52Now we go back to 15 with KFC, now at 16 over.
07:56There we go.
07:57Aw.
07:59You should have laid up on that one.
08:05I mean, now I'm totally fucked.
08:09Now I do have to lay up, Bob.
08:13He is officially almost entering can't win, don't try mode where he pretends like he never wanted to win.
08:21Oh, no.
08:22Right off the ramp.
08:24Now he's in an exhibit.
08:27Ow.
08:28That doesn't seem right.
08:32Give me the lefty.
08:33Is that a six, Gavin?
08:34Shut up, Bob.
08:38This is something.
08:39And the ropes.
08:41Such an awkward position.
08:45I don't even know why I'm taking this seriously.
08:48Ooh, pretty good.
08:49Oh, good.
08:50All right, pretty good.
08:52Shooter.
08:54What's that, four?
08:56That is four.
08:58Ooh.
09:00KFC still in contention here, but his last two holes have been massive disappointments.
09:05Then again, so have mine.
09:06Now let's watch Roan finish his round on the 18th, currently plus 18.
09:14Smart, smart first shot.
09:18He's going to need a hand to hold.
09:22Nice.
09:23What's it do, Nate?
09:24April 29th, my birthday.
09:26Now, is that technically out of bounds?
09:28No.
09:29Technically that's out of bounds, no?
09:30That's a separation.
09:35Think about those boys.
09:38Where was my daddy three weeks before I was born?
09:41Out in Chicago, mini-golfing.
09:43Boys?
09:44Yeah, we're twins.
09:46So that's a three?
09:48Three.
09:49All right, so all you boys?
09:51What's here?
09:52We're twins.
09:54Oh, wow.
09:56He finished plus 19 for the day.
09:57We will see if that's good enough to advance to Chicago.
10:00But now we go to 17 with Casey, currently at 15 over.
10:04Looks like she might make the trip to Chicago, which she is desperate to do.
10:09Constantly talking to me about, when can I come to Chicago?
10:11When can I move to Chicago?
10:13Like, just make some putts, all right?
10:15Make some putts!
10:19Now you guys was there.
10:21I mean, that's not impossible.
10:25That's crazy.
10:27Although a tasteful track suit on Casey Smith, upset of the century.
10:31I was just going to go that way.
10:33Remember last year's mini-golf?
10:34Woo!
10:37She was letting them all hang out.
10:39I was just going to go that way.
10:41I was just going to go that way.
10:43Remember last year's mini-golf?
10:45Woo!
10:47She was letting them all hang out.
10:49I was just going to go that way.
10:51Yeah, you remember it.
10:53I do not remember that, no.
10:54You texted me about it.
10:55I did not text you about it.
10:56What are you talking about?
10:57You texted me, Conor Griffin texted me and said, who's this broad?
10:59No, I did not say that.
11:01I said, that's just Casey.
11:04Yikes.
11:09Wow!
11:12God damn it.
11:14Oh my gosh.
11:17Here's Tommy Smokes on 16, which I guess this is the affirmative action of this particular tournament.
11:23Because why in the hell are we showing Tommy Smokes ever about anything?
11:27Brandon, he's actually in a pretty good position to advance.
11:29Tommy Smokes?
11:30Yeah.
11:31Get the fuck out of here.
11:32No, he's playing pretty well in the course today.
11:35Oh, on the blue, buddy.
11:37It's on the blue.
11:39Whoa, stay with your group.
11:41Get out against each other.
11:43Not if it's on the blue.
11:45You don't think the front half of that's on that blue?
11:48No, it's not.
11:49At the base of it.
11:51We're playing against each other.
11:52And you just moved it more to the gray.
11:54God damn it, you idiot.
11:56You're pushing it over and it's rolling to the left.
11:58How about you just play like a clean guy for once?
12:01Yeah, for once.
12:03You don't really want to ask a competitor to make a judgment on your ball on this particular course.
12:10Would you trust Roan with anything, Conor?
12:12He's the last person I would trust in this competition.
12:14Really?
12:15What about Satan?
12:16Well, he's not in the competition.
12:18Fair enough.
12:20That's his fifth shot.
12:22That's his fifth shot.
12:24Wait, when did you get it?
12:26That's a five.
12:28Over to the 17th with KFC, who's sliding down the board currently at plus 19.
12:34Fuck you in the ass.
12:40What do I do now?
12:42Right there.
12:48I mean, this is a six.
12:53Six of five, I've ever seen one.
12:58Body shit, Thomas?
13:00KFC shoots a six and is now at plus 23, effectively eliminating him from contention.
13:07Let's take a look at the leaderboard.
13:09Here's where things currently stand.
13:11Roan just finished up with a plus 19.
13:13KC is at plus 19 with one hole left to play.
13:16Tommy's at plus 20 with two holes left to play, and KFC is at plus 23 through 17.
13:23There's also a wrinkle in this competition that the golfers didn't know about.
13:27It will only be the top five advancing to Chicago, and the sixth and final spot will go to the worst score of the day.
13:35Let's see who we have at the bottom of the scoreboard.
13:37Meek Phil and Robby Fox are tied at plus 46.
13:41Let's take a look at some of their lowlights.
13:43Plus 46?
13:45These guys are plus 46?
13:47Yeah, it's been a rough one.
13:49What is he doing?
13:51Is he aware of the rules?
13:53This Meek Phil, I've never liked him.
13:56You need some milk?
13:58I'd rather be covered in that than anything else.
14:04Robby Fox is at plus 46.
14:05Robby Fox, I'm disappointed in.
14:07I had high hopes for Robby Fox.
14:09I always have high hopes for Robby Fox.
14:11He actually looks like a golfer.
14:13I'll give him that.
14:15The force was not with him on this day.
14:17Immediately stopped.
14:19There will be a playoff to decide that final spot, but before we go there, let's check in with the Cook golfers still fighting for that fifth spot.
14:25Tommy Smokes on 17, who is one shot behind Ronan Casey.
14:29Battle boy, Tommy.
14:31No! Tommy's never going to go to Chicago.
14:35Damn.
14:37Oh no!
14:39I told you I was going to collapse on this hole.
14:41These guys are really having trouble with this particular hole.
14:46Right, exactly. Who's played Pirate Island?
14:48So funny.
14:50Who's played Treasure Island?
14:52Tommy's five puts him at plus 23.
14:54Oh my goodness.
14:56So a collapse on 17 has ended Tommy Smokes.
14:58Casey Smith at 18.
15:00She's tied with Ronan and does have a chance to jump him for fifth and qualify for Chicago.
15:05Oh my God.
15:07Casey gets a hole-in-one.
15:09She jumps Ronan and qualifies for Chicago.
15:11She joins Ken Jack, Bibbs, Kahns, and John Rich.
15:14Casey Smith on her way to Chicago and she has been dying to hear those words ever since we moved out here.
15:19And all we're waiting for is that sixth and final spot.
15:22Let's see who it will be.
15:24We can both make this one.
15:26Try one of the sides.
15:28I think the side's the plus.
15:30I mean, either one of us made this one.
15:32Yeah, either way, like you'll make it up.
15:34Here we go.
15:36Give me that beef.
15:38Give me that beef.
15:40Oh!
15:42That's a good Chicago.
15:44I'm not getting this.
15:46You got this, dude.
15:48You got this, mate.
15:51Bob!
15:53Yeah!
15:55Good round, Meek Phil.
15:57Oh, hat off? Should I go?
15:59Go hat off.
16:01The winner of this hole was actually the loser of this hole.
16:03Wait, wait, wait. Who's going to Chicago?
16:05Me. You lost.
16:07Oh, wait. Last place goes to Chicago, right?
16:09I won. I won. He's going.
16:12So Meek Phil finishes at plus 47.
16:15One of the more embarrassing things that's ever happened at this company.
16:18But he seems to be proud of himself.
16:20I came in here today not expecting to be last place.
16:24But I am, so I'm thankful for the trip to go to Chicago office.
16:29Meek Phil's first time?
16:31Yes, my first time going to Chicago.
16:33And again, for everybody watching at home,
16:35we just have to give the biggest shout out to Puttery.
16:37What a day on the course.
16:39Just an unbelievable facility.
16:41Fun courses, challenging courses.
16:43Absolutely made mincemeat out of some of these competitors,
16:45but some came through. Puttery was awesome.
16:47That's going to do it for us in New York tomorrow.
16:49We will be back in Chicago.
16:51My name is Connor Griffin.
16:53He is Brandon Walker.
16:55Until then, this has been the Barstool Mini Golf Open Qualifier.
16:57Catch you soon.
