It started as a video idea. Frankie Borrelli floated the question on Twitter: could he beat Kiz at Kiz's own home track if he got to play his own ball in a 2-ball scramble format? Kevin Kisner has been a full-time voice on Fore Play since joining the podcast earlier this year, bringing actual PGA Tour pedigree to a show that mostly makes fun of itself, so a scramble on his home turf was never going to be a friendly nine and a beer.
question for a video idea… can I beat Kiz at his home track Palmetto if I play my own 2 ball scramble?
That home turf matters. Palmetto Golf Club sits in Aiken, South Carolina, where Kisner was born and still lives right on the property — he grew up along the 17th fairway. Betting your own format against a guy on the course he's played his entire life is either supreme confidence or a setup for getting run off the property, and Fore Play turned the whole thing into a match.
ONE KIZ. TWO FRANKIES. WHO WILL WIN? Can Kiz beat Frankie playing his own 2-ball scramble? New match OUT NOW! @TheGrintGolf
The match footage that followed did Frankie no favors on the mystery front — Kiz apparently handed him a swing tip mid-round that changed everything. The clip shows Kiz breaking something down simple enough that Frankie started striping shots immediately, on-screen text literally flashing "RIPPED" over the result.
Kiz just blew Frankie’s mind (and had him STRIPING it) with this insanely simple tip. @TheGrintGolf
It got dramatic fast. Fore Play posted that Frankie came within a foot of an ace twice in the same round after the tip took hold, crediting the swing adjustment and a few Sun Cruisers for getting him "dialed." Whether that's the exact yardage or just golf-buddy exaggeration, the point stands — something clicked, and it clicked in a hurry.
FRANKIE WAS A FOOT FROM AN ACE… TWICE 🤯 One swing tip from Kiz and some @drinksuncruiser had him DIALED.
The whole thing spilled off the course and into Frankie's replies, apparently enough that people gave him grief for how hyped he got on camera over a golf tip. He clapped back on Twitter later that night, making no apologies for the enthusiasm: getting pointers from Kevin Kisner — and, he name-dropped, Tiger Woods — is just cool, upset feelings or not. It's a small window into how seriously these guys actually take their games underneath the podcast bit, and why a scramble billed as a joke turned into appointment viewing for Fore Play's audience.
