YouTube Golf

[chadmariage]

Wondering what YouTube golf folks watch. What is your go to? Guilty pleasure?

I have been watching a lot over the past year.  My main go tos are Rick Sheils, Grant Horvat, Good Good, BustaJack and Bryan Bros. I like to see equipment reviews with Rick and Peter Finch and the guilty pleasure is definitely Bob Does Sports.  BDS is pretty relatable. Would be a lot of fun being on that crew. 

Something about YouTube golf makes me feel more connected to it. Maybe it is because we get to witness thought processes, be "inside the ropes" in some regards and get closer to the ins and outs of every shot.

Curious to hear what others think and to maybe discover new channels.

I must say I thoroughly enjoy YouTube golf. Rick, while he’s in a bit of a rut with his game, actually provided me so much valuable information when I was learning to play a few years back. BDS is definitely a favorite. Those guys are out of control. Bryson’s channel is also really great. When it comes to golf on YouTube, I feel that a VERY underrated channel is 2ndswing’s channel. They have a ton of great, informative content with tons of club testing and reviews from different types of players. I like that world of golf. It’s fun, lighthearted, and relatable. A lot of those content creators are also really good players! Looking for the next good good live streamed event with all the

content creators this June/july!

Luke’s channel is awesome! Love the videos he’s recently done with Fore Play also! Luke is so much more likable when it’s not a GG video

I really like Luke as well...he is a tremendous golfer.  I look forward to seeing if he is the one that won that Myrtle Beach qualifier.  I know he loves sarcasm and it is funny at time but I think it is excessive sometimes on the Good Good videos.  His standalone channel is better in that regard.

I agree with both of you. I think Luke's solo channel is where you can go to see some actual golf. the GG channel is filled with so many games and gimmicks, it's hard for me to consider it golf. I really like watching Luke and Sean play some incredibly beautiful courses while playing solid golf. 

If you like Luke, watch his videos with TacoGolf in New Zealand. I know he was just there recently, and I cannot wait to see those videos. Taco and Tooms and crew are hilarious, and the courses they have over there are insane.

I started out with Rick Shiels years ago, I found him looking for club reviews. This was the first time I really ever watched YouTube. I was hooked when I saw his reviews, then realized he had other content. This led me to find Peter Finch, Matt Fryer and Andy Carter. This opened a whole new world for me for watching golf. I became a bit obsessed with what I didn't realize at the time was YouTube Golf. I even thought that it was almost exclusively a British thing. I was mostly watching Rick and Peter, and then Rick mentioned Good Good. I had to check them out. I really liked it at first because it was something different and just fun to watch. I am a big kid at heart after all. This eventually led me to find Bryan Bros, Bob Does Sports, Busta Jack, Bryson  and many others. I have watched many creators now, but I have settled into some favorites. I like Luke Kwon on his own channel. Watching him and Sean is a lot of fun. I will watch GM golf sometimes, I don't miss anything with Grant Horvat in it, and I always watch BDS. I have a lot of subscriptions so the rest I watch just when something looks like fun to watch pops up. I only watch Micah if he has the group of guys playing on his channel. But yeah, really loving the YouTube golf space. I really don't even watch tournament golf much anymore.

Guys... I've actually benefited a lot by watching "Not a Scratch Golfer".  Adam takes you around a course and narrates his thoughts about each shot.  He is easy to relate too.  As I've been watching his channel, I've learned two major things.  1) Understanding course management and playing smart.  This especially from someone who doesn't hit a long way but plays some solid golf.  2) Great scores are achievable, even if you make mistakes.  He keeps a positive attitude and knows that he can recover from a bad shot here and there.  Go check it out!

Luke now gone from GG. They seem to have lost a bit of momentum and are in a bit of a content rut. I have skipped to the end of some of their latest videos. GM golf solo content is even a little better right now.

Bob does sports by far. Came across them when they did a match against the Foreplay guys and have been hooked ever since. Good good was just at my home course in Oklahoma last week so I’m excited for that one to come out.

Besides MyGolfSpy of course!

I've been a fan of AJ on Elite Fit Golf.  Initially his channel was Mobile Clubmaker, but he expanded his club building topics to fitting when he expanded into a bigger facility.   His content blends reviews of various clubs, shafts and grips, demonstrates performance impacts on various club tweaks and lists a bunch of "how to" club building videos.  

His video inspired me to build on his concept for a limited space gripping station concept.  With limited space and no basements in Key West, the concept built around a 2x6 and a clamping vise is easy to store (sits above my small shed window) and bring out when needed.  I improved the design by adding a sliding club support, the catch tray for recycling solvent, and level laser to help with alignment.

NICE WORK! That's a great setup and I've been a big fan of AJ on youtube as well. I'd already regripped my own clubs before I saw his channel but he inspired me to reshaft my irons. Not quite as difficult as I thought it would be.
