Matt Meneghetti Bio: ShooterMcGhetti, Good Good and WITB
The two-time Iowa Open champion whose creative swing, bargain-bin college putter and regional professional career opened a new path through Good Good and a filmed Big Break season.
Quick answer: Matt Meneghetti, also known as Ghetti and ShooterMcGhetti, is an American professional golfer and Good Good member from Schererville, Indiana. He won the Iowa Open in 2022 and 2024 after a record-setting career at Carthage College. His creative swing, unusual putter history and success in videos with Garrett Clark helped carry him from regional professional golf into Good Good and selection for the filmed Big Break x Good Good season.

Matt Meneghetti at a Glance
Matt Meneghetti and the Canceled Big Break Season
Meneghetti was one of the first two competitors selected for Big Break x Good Good, and Golf Channel introduced him as Good Good’s newest member. The selection connected a show he watched with his brothers growing up to the professional opportunity he had pursued throughout his adult career.
Golf Channel canceled the season on August 27, 2026, before any episodes aired. The network said the intended outcome could no longer be fulfilled after Good Good stepped away from the associated PGA Tour event. Meneghetti’s selection remains part of his career history, but there is no completed televised result to report. See My9Iron’s cancellation and cast page or read Golf Channel’s announcement.
Golf Channel subsequently made its Matt Meneghetti player-profile upload private, so the unavailable video has been removed from this page.
From Basketball Back to Golf
Golf was part of Meneghetti’s childhood because his father worked as a PGA professional. His father recognized an ability to imagine shots and encouraged an athletic, “swing your swing” approach rather than forcing him into a technically uniform motion. Matt won junior events early, but his attention moved toward basketball as other young golfers became more committed to structured training.
He played travel basketball with Chicago MeanStreets and two years of high-school basketball. Carthage records identify him as an All-Duneland Conference player. In his Golf Channel interview, Meneghetti recalled holding his school’s three-point record for a period; that detail is his recollection rather than an independently verified school record.
Meneghetti returned his focus to golf during his junior year of high school. That basketball background remained visible in the way he played: athletic, reactive and willing to create shots instead of chasing a textbook appearance.
A Record-Setting Run at Carthage
Meneghetti competed for Carthage from the 2014–15 season through 2017–18. He became a three-time team MVP, three-time All-CCIW selection and three-time GCAA Division III All-Central Region selection. His senior season added Division III PING All-American honorable mention, six individual tournament victories and Carthage’s Frank Falduto Male Athlete of the Year award.
His defining college result came at the 2018 CCIW Championship. Meneghetti completed four rounds at one-over 289, closed with a 69 and finished tied with Conner O’Neil. A birdie on the third playoff hole made him Carthage’s first CCIW individual champion since 2006.
His senior scoring average was approximately 72.8, with a 74.32 career average. After completing his Carthage career in 2018, Meneghetti pursued professional tournament golf. My9Iron does not assign a specific “turned professional” year because one supporting database conflicts with his continuing college eligibility.
The Bargain-Bin Top Flite Putter
Meneghetti’s most memorable college club was not a tour prototype. He bought a Top Flite putter at Dick’s Sporting Goods and initially put it into play partly as a joke. He enjoyed telling opponents he was beating them with a Top Flite, but the joke became harder to dismiss as tournament victories accumulated.
In his personal WITB video, Meneghetti credited the putter with 11 wins. He called it his college putter, but did not enumerate every victory, so the total should not be interpreted as 11 confirmed college tournaments. The story matters because it fits his broader identity: performance and comfort have often mattered more to him than prestige or convention.
Two Iowa Open Championships
Meneghetti’s Iowa Open record supplies the clearest professional proof behind his creator profile. In 2021, he finished second to Ryan Cole after shooting a course-record 60 in the second round. The performance placed him firmly in contention and foreshadowed what followed.
In 2022, Meneghetti posted rounds of 68, 66 and 65 for a 17-under total of 199. His closing 65 secured the championship by three strokes. Two years later, he won again after rounds of 71, 65 and 69. He finished regulation tied with Carter Dill at 11 under, then won with a par on the second playoff hole.
Golf Channel has also reported that Meneghetti accumulated more than a dozen course records while competing in regional and developmental events. Those records were not individually enumerated in the reviewed sources, so the two Iowa Open titles remain the durable center of his professional résumé. He is accurately described as a professional golfer—not as a PGA Tour member.
How Matt Meneghetti Joined Good Good
Meneghetti’s creator path began when his girlfriend joined Good Good Girls and encouraged him to appear in golf content. They started making videos together, which brought his unusual swing and competitive ability in front of a new audience. Garrett Clark noticed him and invited him to Dallas.
The first collaboration performed well, and Garrett encouraged Meneghetti to take creator golf seriously. Opportunities expanded from individual videos to major courses and destination trips, including TPC Sawgrass, Hawaii and Spanish Bay. Meneghetti eventually became a Good Good member, adding another strong tournament golfer alongside Sean Walsh.
Garrett initiated and encouraged the relationship, but the available evidence does not establish that he alone made the company’s formal hiring decision. For more about the organization and its expansion, see Who Owns Good Good Golf?
Matt Meneghetti’s Documented WITB
Important: The following equipment was shown in a ShooterMcGhetti WITB video. Meneghetti discussed several possible changes during the video, so this is a dated snapshot—not his confirmed Big Break bag or complete current setup.
| Category | Documented Equipment | Known Specifications and Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Driver | Ping G430 Max 10K | 65g X-flex shaft; exact shaft model not stated; standard Ping playing length |
| 5-Wood | Ping G430 | Alta CB 65 Stiff; loft not stated |
| 4-Hybrid | Ping G440 | 23°; Alta CB 70; flat setting |
| Irons | Titleist CB, 5–PW | Dynamic Gold S300; described as a couple of degrees flat |
| Pitching Wedge | Titleist CB | 47° |
| Gap Wedge | Titleist Vokey | 50°; 12° bounce; KBS Tour shaft |
| Sand Wedge | Model unidentified | 56°; approximately 10° bounce |
| Lob Wedge | Model unidentified | 60°; 14° bounce; generic wedge-flex shaft |
| Primary Putter Shown | Odyssey Ai-ONE Cruiser Jailbird | 38-inch counterbalanced configuration; called the “Bobby Wand” |
| Alternate Putter | Odyssey O-Works #1 | Microhinge face insert |
| Golf Ball | Titleist Pro V1 | Yellow; personalized with his name |
| Grips | Golf Pride CPX Jumbo | Described as effectively zero-taper |
During the same video, Meneghetti discussed possible alternative setups: replacing his 3-wood and 5-wood with one 4-wood, carrying both a 4-iron and 4-hybrid, and potentially carrying two putters. Those were possibilities—not confirmed changes.
From Top Flite to the “Bobby Wand”
The Top Flite college putter is only one part of Meneghetti’s unusual putter history. His WITB video also showed an Odyssey Ai-ONE Cruiser Jailbird in a 38-inch counterbalanced build and an Odyssey O-Works #1 with a Microhinge insert. He discussed a Hammy putter and other historical putters associated with wins and course records, but the video did not support assigning every putter to a particular tournament.
The longer configurations reflect experimentation rather than a fixed identity. Meneghetti was still considering whether two putters could fit into the same 14-club setup.
Matt Meneghetti in 50 States in 50 Days
Good Good’s 09-28-2026 opener places Meneghetti inside the six-player crew beginning a daily attempt to play golf in all 50 states over 50 consecutive days. The long-form episode is a more useful current introduction than three isolated swing Shorts because it shows his role inside the group’s largest active series.
