The PGA Star Who Learned Golf From YouTube

Sudarshan Yellamaraju didn’t come through the traditional golf pipeline.

He built his swing, his game, and eventually his career from watching @YouTube .

@PepperSaltsman Beautiful picture. I love seeing it while in the office. Reminds me there’s an outside. Haha.

In 1971, Alan Shepard hit a golf ball on the Moon and said it went "miles and miles."

He was joking — his real shots went ~40 yards.
@NASA
But the physics is real: no air, 1/6 gravity, and a proper drive would fly over a MILE and hang for nearly 30 seconds.

NBA champion. Three-point marksman. And apparently — links legend.

The 2016 @cavs reunited to golf in Scotland for @KingJames 's new channel, and @channingfrye stole the show — draining putts "Cleveland, this is for you!"

Able to go Deep on and off the court.

Golf used to have two different balls. Same weight — one smaller.

And the smaller one flew farther. Drag scales with the square of the diameter, so even 0.06 inches mattered.

So they banned it. The smaller ball was better — the rules just took it away. 🎥

Navy SEALs use a breathing pattern to stay calm under fire: in for 4, hold 4, out for 4, hold 4.

@TigerWoods was forged for pressure by a Green Beret father — and under the biggest moments in golf, his slow, deliberate breaths did the same job: dropping the heart rate when everything's on the line. 🎥

Take the dimples off a golf ball and a pro can't hit it half as far.

Not a little worse. Half.

A smooth ball drags a parachute of low-pressure air. Dimples shrink that pocket and cut the drag in half — and nobody designed it.

Golfers in the 1800s just noticed their scuffed balls flew better. 🎥

Two golfers swing at the exact same speed — and one out-drives the other by 15 yards on every tee shot.
@brysondech
Not stronger. Not faster. It's smash factor: how much ball speed you get from your club speed.

The fastest free distance in golf is dead center of the face. 🎥

2008 US Open, @GolfTorrey . On a broken leg, mid-charge, @TigerWoods drives into trouble on 17 and chips from deep greenside rough.

One hop, off the flagstick, in for birdie. He hid his smile behind his hat — even HE knew he got away with one.

The middle jewel between two eagles on the same nine. 🐐 #golf

Koivun playing solo might be the best featured group ever.

@PepperSaltsman 🤣🤣
Maybe they have a investment for ya.

Phil Mickelson launched his tee shot over the green and into the hospitality tent at the 2014 @Barclays . Most players take a drop.

@PhilMickelson grinned, waded up through the crowd — moving tables, chairs, and a few beer bottles — and hit a wedge off the terrace over 15 rows of fans.

He did it again the next day.

The club spray-painted
"Phil Was Here."

2016 @usopengolf , Oakmont. The @USGA told @DJohnsonPGA on the 12th tee he MIGHT be penalized with the decision coming after the round. So he played the last seven holes not knowing his own score.

Under that cloud, on 17, he aimed driver AT the bunker on purpose, held the green, made par and birdied 18 to win his first major.

Ice.

2018 Masters, final round. @PReedGolf won the green jacket, and freely admits he didn't have his best stuff.

Bad tee shot AND bunker shot for bogey on 1. Misjudged 2. Then a slippery downhill putt on 3 that was racing past until "the hole got in the way."

"I needed a putt like that to go in."

It settled him...and he never let go.

Just 340 days until the @TheOpen returns to the Home of Golf. Here's a memory to hold you over. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2024, @RoyalTroonGC . Bogey-free and closing in on the Claret Jug, @XSchauffele faced a scary chip over a bunker on 16 — fescue growing into the lie, nothing neutral about it.

His fix: "I tried to treat it like I was in Florida." He nipped it close, holed the birdie, sealed his 2nd major of the year. 🎥 #TheOpen

[GolfNewsNetwork @NetworkGolfNews]

Five shots back. Six holes to play at the 2008 @usopengolf , @TigerWoods had a choice on the par-5 13th: play it safe, or go for the green.

He went for it. Set up an eagle. Then made another on 17, and another on 18. @GolfTorrey

Two days later he won the whole thing 🐐 limping🐐

[GolfNewsNetwork @NetworkGolfNews]

@garyplayer Wow. Such a great friend to hold onto that one.

I didn’t know a ton about Mr. Roberts until I did research for an Augusta video.

He was such an interesting person and should be remembered more often during the masters broadcasts.

Jon Rahm's 2023 Masters was messier than the four-shot margin suggests — and it nearly came apart on Saturday.
@JonRahmOfficial
A three-putt on the par-5 13th. Missed birdie looks on 14 and 15. A wayward tee shot into a bogey on 16. The putter went cold and the lead was leaking away.

It was the kind of round that loses green jackets.

Instead, Rahm ground out the pars he needed, stayed in front, and closed it out Sunday. He'd already survived a four-putt double bogey on the opening hole of the whole tournament.

Champions aren't the ones who never struggle.
They're the ones who don't let a bad stretch become a bad week.

After a brutal run at the majors, @brysondech went looking for something different — and found it 90 miles north of San Francisco.

Northwood: a 9-hole course in the California redwoods, designed by Alister MacKenzie — the same architect behind Augusta National and Cypress Point — threaded between trees over 120 feet tall and 12 feet wide.
@NorCoStateParks

It's less a round of golf than a walk through a cathedral of trees, where every now and then you happen to hit a ball. And against something that ancient and that big, the game suddenly feels very small.

Sometimes, after the majors humble you, that's exactly the reset you need.
