- Okay, now here's your plaque for Player of the Year.
- Today is a big day.
I wanted to give an update on Lincoln's Matchplay
because surprise, surprise, I did
not film any of his Matchplay,
and he played golf for four days straight.
Might have some good news about how he did
in Matchplay, and we're going to follow up
on that, but first, we need to pick Lincoln up from school.
Today is his first day of school of the new school year.
I know a lot of you guys ask does Lincoln
go to homeschool, and he could.
He could go to homeschool, and we
could get a lot of YouTube videos done,
but I really feel like it's important
that I have him go to a regular public school,
learn how to be social.
I just dropped him off today, even though he
knows three kids in this brand new school.
Homeschool is great.
There are some really good things,
and it's good for a lot of people,
but it's not a good fit for Lincoln.
Let's pick him up, and then, we're
gonna talk about golf, and show you a few things
that I think are gonna be pretty cool.

(door unlocking)
Hey!
- Hi, why are you filming?
- [Dad] 'Cause we're gonna give an update
on your golf and your Matchplay
in this video, but we wanted to ask first,
how did your first day of school go?
- It was kinda boring.
- [Dad] Kinda boring, why?
- 'Cause you don't do anything in the first week of school.
We just basically sat there.
I've got four or five things you have to sign.
That's what we did.
They talked about rules and stuff.
- [Dad] What's it like having a locker?
- I'm not gonna open mine.
- Why, you scared?
- Because everyone says that the locker's
are really, really, really hard to open,
and I'm not very good at opening them.
So, I'm just gonna keep--
- [Dad] So, you don't know if they're hard to open or not?
- I don't even know where it is.
- There you go, first day of school.
As I hear it first, you hear it first.
You probably already saw the title of this video,
and the thumbnail, Lincoln won Golfer of the Year this year.
- [Children] Yay!
So, now we need to go to the golf course,
talk a little bit about Matchplay, and--
- [Lincoln] Wait, we're going golfing?
- We need to pick up some stuff.
- We're going golfing?
- [Dad] We're gonna pick up some stuff at the golf course.
- We're not going golfing.
- I don't know if we're going golfing.
- [Dad] Okay, so, we're back to the course
where Lincoln played Matchplay.
Tell us about how it went that week.
- First day was really excited.
I was like yes, I get to go play Matchplay,
and the kid didn't show up.
So, they said, yep, you get a bye.
It was at a different course, and come
to a different course tomorrow.
- [Dad] So, you whooped him, wow.
- So, I destroyed him.
First hole, I beat him, on the first hole.
Second day, it was at this course.
The kid didn't show up either.
- [Dad] Wow, so you got a bye the second.
- So, I destroyed him, too.
Third day was against a kid that was pretty good.
He was really good.
It went down to the last hole,
and I had hit this crazy shot.
There's a huge tree and a branch that goes way over.
My ball was right here, leaning
against the tree trunk, and I had no follow through,
but the hole was right down there,
and I hit it, and it popped up
and rolled out of the grass onto the green,
and I two-putted, and I won because
of that two-putt, and the other guy,
if he would've made a 15 footer, he would've won.
Well, we would've tied.
- [Dad] That was the semifinals?
- So that was the semifinals,
and then, the final day, we tied the first hole,
and then I won the next five.
So, that was it.
- [Dad] So, you beat him pretty good on the championship.
- Yep.
- We are here to pick up his trophy
for winning that championship, but one thing
that I thought was pretty surprising is, I
guess winning Matchplay gave him enough points
to qualify him for player of the year.
Sounds kinda like fuzzy math, but I will take it.
We're coming today to pick up the trophy,
and some free things for being player of the year.
So, might as well get this confidence booster,
and see what this trophy's like.
So, anyway, we're back at the golf course.
We're gonna go pick it up.
- Yep.
(record scratch)
- Okay, that was a little anticlimactic.
The guy that's in charge of it
went home a little early, or went
out to another golf course to do something.
We will continue this video tomorrow.
Okay, it's been about a week, and we are finally back.
For you, it's been a few seconds, but we're back,
and we called ahead this time.
He is here.
He has the stuff, and we're gonna go see
what stuff Lincoln gets for winning Matchplay.
(upbeat music)
Hey, we thought it was your other office next door.
Lincoln gets some things right, for winning?
- Yeah, so there's a few things, actually.
The first one is the Matchplay trophy which is kinda cool.
It's different than the regular trophies.
We wanted to do something a little different.
- [Dad] That is really cool.
- So, that's for Matchplay.
That's your first place trophy.
Now, here's your plaque for Player of the Year.
- Whoa, that's awesome!
It has my name on it.
That looks so cool!
- So, you got that.
You have a little recognition for having a great year
and being our Player of the Year in your age group.
That was cool.
Then we got some prizes for you, too.
So, we got a, I mean, back to school, we
give you a backpack of course, right?
The last thing you want, but there's that,
and then there's a few things inside of there as well.
- That's cool, it's JAG Player of the Year.
That's cool.
Oh, yes, I'm actually out of golf balls right now.
If you go into my bag, I don't have one golf ball.
- [Dad] Okay, that's good 'cause those are nice Pro V1s.
- 2019 JAG Player of the Year!
- [Dad] What?
- [Lincoln] That is so cool!
- [Dad] That is so fancy!
- Then there's one more thing in there.
So, you might have to take your dad with you on this one.
- What, 25 dollars for Texas Roadhouse.
- [Dad] We're gonna spend all that on rolls.
- Their rolls are the best.
That's awesome!
- Oh yeah, a few prizes for you, so.
- Thank you so much.
- Yeah, you bet.
You had great year.
- Thanks!
- It was fun to watch.
- [Dad] Wow, Lincoln, first summer
playing golf in four years, how
do you feel going into the off season,
getting ready for next year?
- I need to go practice more.
- [Dad] That's good.
Do you think you'll be better next year?
- Yeah, if I practice, practice more.
- Because there was a lot of tournaments
that he went to like he went up north
and played a few tournaments that he
took last place, and he's like, I'm done,
cancel me all the tournaments, and then we
started signing up for the ones down here,
and he took third place in one of 'em,
and that gave him a little bit of confidence,
and he started playing more, and then Matchplay
was the last thing of the year, and was very fortunate
to win the last two matches to be able
to win the whole thing, and off season is now.
Next year, during the summer, he'll
be playing tournaments down here in St. George
and probably some up in Salt Lake, and then at the end
of the summer is high school tryouts as a ninth grader.
So, crazy, high school, I don't think I'm ready for that.
First thing
to celebrate Lincoln's big Player of the Year award.
What is it?
- Ice cream.
- Yum, this is Culver's what?
Concrete Oreo with chocolate ice cream.
- Their chocolate is so good.
- [Dad] Their chocolate's amazing, so creamy smooth.
We are gonna go parade around with his stuff.
My brother in law, Brandon, we golf with him every week.
- Whoa!
(laughs)
Yeah!
And he helps Lincoln with his golf stuff.
So, he's gonna be really proud of Lincoln.
So, we're just gonna show up.
Hopefully, he's here.
What's up?
- What's up?
- [Brandon] You guys are weird.
(laughing)
- I got stuff.
- [Dad] Check it out.
That is Matchplay Champion.
- And then this fancy one,
that one's the Player of the Year one.
- That looks just like you.
(laughs)
- [Dad] Except he's a righty, and you're a lefty.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Dad] Isn't that cool though?
- That's way cool!
- And then they gave me this backpack.
- Nice!
- Player of the year.
- 2019 JAG Player of the Year, whoa!
- [Dad] That's pretty cool, right?
- That's big time right there.
- Okay, we showed Brandon.
I think we need to go golfing, or hit some balls.
(upbeat dance music)
Alright, so now, we're at the range after having ice cream,
after showing Brandon the Golfer of the Year thing,
and this is the most important thing
as Lincoln said earlier, he needs to get practice in.
Just because he won Golfer of the Year, I
don't want you guys to think that we
think that he's the greatest golfer that exists.
He's probably shooting in the 80s right now,
and I think this is a good confidence booster.
There were probably 10 tournaments this year,
and most kids only played three or four tournaments.
So, the fact that he won Matchplay
gave him enough points to actually
push him over to get that Golfer of the Year thing.
Let us know if you want to see more golf videos,
out on the course videos because we're
already going to be golfing a lot.
It would be really fun to bring you guys along,
and also maybe golf with some of our other friends
that are on YouTube like Eric Anders Lang,
Brodie Smith, Rick Scheils.
So, yeah, more golf tournaments next season.
Until then, practice, practice,
practice, and have fun on the range.
Good job, Lincoln, proud of ya.
Really, I'm proud of you.
- [Dad] Bro, look at all this stuff you got.
- Mhm, these trophies are cool.
Usually every one of the trophies are the same.
- [Dad] Yeah.
