Alright, let’s talk about keeping up with the Good Good Desert Classic leaderboard. I got pretty interested in following along this time, figured it’d be fun to see the scores in something close to real-time. So, I started my little quest.
First thing I did, naturally, was look for some kind of official page. You know, like a mini-website for the event or maybe something on the main Good Good site. Spent a bit searching around. Didn’t find a dedicated, live-updating leaderboard right off the bat. Maybe I missed it, but it wasn’t obvious.
Okay, plan B. I thought, maybe they’re posting updates directly on their channels? Checked the main Good Good YouTube channel, looked at their community tab, even glanced at their Instagram stories. Saw some posts about the event, sure, some cool clips and photos, but not a consistent score feed. It was more like highlights and hype, which is fine, but not the raw leaderboard I was hunting for.
Digging a Little Deeper
So, where next? Social media, of course. I started searching on Twitter and Instagram. Typed in things like #goodgooddesertclassic, player names, that sort of stuff. This got me a bit closer. Here’s what I found:
- Some players posting their own scores after their rounds.
- Fans who were actually there posting updates or photos, sometimes mentioning scores they saw.
- Lots of chatter and support, but the scores were scattered.
It was like piecing together a puzzle. You’d get a score update here, another one there, maybe an hour later. Not exactly the live feed I imagined. Felt a bit like detective work, jumping between posts and trying to figure out the current standings.
Then I remembered the communities. Places like Reddit, specifically the Good Good subreddit. Bingo. That seemed to be the most active spot. Found a few threads where fans were actively pooling information. Someone would post a score they heard, another would confirm or add another player’s score. It was crowdsourced, basically.
This turned out to be the most consistent way I found to follow along, even if it wasn’t official. It relied completely on other fans sharing what they knew. Still not perfect, sometimes delayed, sometimes maybe not 100% accurate until confirmed, but it was the closest thing to a running tally I could find during the actual event.
So, yeah. Tracking the Good Good leaderboard wasn’t like pulling up the PGA Tour app. It took a bit more effort, hopping between platforms and relying on the fan community. Kind of a scavenger hunt. In the end, I mostly got the info, but decided maybe just waiting for the edited videos next time might be less hassle!
