Will He Write A Song About Me?

We are in Nashville, Tennessee, at Grasslands for a 1v1 against country music star Maddox Batson! Maddox is one of the youngest artists in country music; he's written every single song he's ever put out, and for the first time ever in one of my videos, I'm the older one. The twist: I'm playing all the way back from the tips at nearly 6,900 yards, the longest I've ever played in my life, while Maddox plays the front tees. Same course, half the distance. Oh, and he chopped off a piece of his thumb two days before this and had barely touched a club since. The stakes: straight-up 9-hole match play, no strokes. If Maddox loses, he has to write a song about me and post it to his TikTok (having a song written about me is genuinely on my bucket list, so I don't want to hear that it's selfish). If I lose, I owe him one or two TikToks using the audio from his song "Heaven," plus a rematch in Florida once he's back to all ten fingers, red carpet and all. It did not start well for me. I bogeyed the first two holes from the back tees and went 2 down before I'd done anything right, then put a drive out of bounds on three and somehow still won the hole in what might be the worst-played hole either of us has ever filmed. From there it swung every single hole. All square, one up, then Maddox holes an absolute bomb on eight to square it right back up with one hole to play. Hole nine came down to a four-footer, and I have never been more scared over a putt in my life. In between all of that: three bucket list items each (Augusta National, a CMA, a number one, and a lead role for him. A song about me, the Grammys as an influencer, and the Met Gala for me). He's the first guest ever to say Spotify over Apple Music. He's the single biggest Justin Bieber fan I've ever met and will defend the My World era to the death. I made him try to speak without a country accent and then quizzed him on words I don't know, including toboggan, britches, and whatever a pinto bean is. I also confessed on camera that I've never had a driver's license and failed the written test four times, and he admitted to hitting three cars and a tree, so neither of us came out of that one clean. He also very generously let me give him a swing lesson out of the thick rough, which worked, and we stopped to sign a ball for a junior golfer whose yard I hit into. Thank you to Grasslands for hosting us, and go check out Maddox's music and subscribe to his channel. Rematch in Florida is officially on the books.
