Smalls1588 145 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, or even if this is something people do. But youtube as a social media outlet continues to grow and grow, and with that comes an influx of a lot of information. I've been noticing a lot of golfing youtubers growing and just a lot of channels covering golf being started in general. It may be just myself coming from a younger generation than a lot of people on here (no offense guys) but do other people utilize this resource? I constantly find myself watching course vlogs, product reviews, drills, etc. Similar to things people look to these forums for. Personally, I find a lot of the European guys entertaining: Rick Shiels, Mark Crossfield, Peter Finch to name a few. What are people's opinions on golfing youtubers? Who do you watch regularly? Does anyone on here post youtube videos on golf? Curious as to what people think of this. 1 Quote Driver- Taylormade M2 9.5 degree 2016 (Fujikara Pro60 S) Fairway Wood- Taylormade Aeroburner TP (Oban Revenge 65 S) Hybrid- Ping G 3 Hybrid (Alta 70 X) Driving Iron- Taylormade Tour Preffered UDI 3 (KBS Tour V) Irons- 4-PW Mizuno MP64 (Dynamic Gold S300) Standard length/3 degrees upright Wedges- Titleist Vokey SM5 52 F12,56 F14 Putter- Titleist Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2.5 Silver Mist edition Ball- Prov1X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster 31,814 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I watch those guys you say. I'm in the mid 30's crowd come May 12th. I do get some enjoyment out of those guys. I tend to stay away from how to's. My video for the i200's is my first YouTube attempt. But I'm thinking about doing fast forward rounds on there or something. No one here in the states does the cool stuff like those Gents. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnSmalls 6,762 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I am in my mid-20's so I do fit the "YouTube demographic" and I do find myself watching some golf videos. The two I watch most frequently are Sheils and Finch. I like the midhadicapper reviews and the shenanigans that Finch and Shiels pull together. Those guys really have a great production going on. I have thought for a long while that it would be fun to get a channel up and going myself, but I don't know if it is "in the cards". 1 Quote 2020 MGS Hard Rock Challenge SkyCaddie SX400 OGIO Silencer: Followed by Arccos G410+, Tensei Orange Mavrik 3w, Evenflow Riptide Covert 2.0 3H, Kuro Kage Black Wilson D7 Irons 4-GW, Dynamic Gold AMT Glide 52, 56 ES ER2 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSauer 4,232 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I watch the three you just named the most... Shiels, Crossfield, and Finch. I have watched some of Chris Ryan's videos, as he has some decent swing tips. I used to watch Rick for the club reviews, but he does more course vlogs now, which I'm a big fan of. I love watching the vlogs him and Peter put together. I am going to try and make one myself this season, as videography and stuff like that interests me. 1 Quote G400 Max G410 3W G410 3 & 4 Crossover i200 5-PW Vokey SM7 | 52-56-60 Taylormade Spider X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opsimpson 59 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 There is some absolutely great content on YouTube for sure.

Golfspy_CG2 31,724 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think I read somewhere YouTube is the no 2 search engine in the world. I also subscribe to Shiels and Crossfield. I think BetterGolf has some pretty good content. The guy isn't a polished TV Talking head but comes across as someone just like one of us. I think his video and audio quality is actually a lot better than some of the others. I believe he did a stop by MGS HQ awhile back and spoke to Sam and Adam. Also like GolfMonthly and GolfShake.

Golfspy_CG2 31,724 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 On a similar note. Who checks out any of the golf companies YouTube pages. I think Srixon has some of the highest quality video that I've seen. Love all the Titleist ones. Especially when they show the TPI facility. Callaway probably has by far the most content and is very good. I subscribe to them all.

I'm with you on the data, that's why I try to contain my watching when I'm connected to wifi at home, work or panera.
