I loved when EAL was doing the more Tony Bourdain kinda content. Travel and story focused with excellent production value. The Miura factory one specifically - man, what a great one. I actually had the pleasure of meeting him at the Westchester driving range near LAX several years back and we talked about the awesomeness that is Rustic Canyon. Stellar course in Simi Valley I used to play a lot. 

 

He dropped off on the good stuff though when he picked up some sponsorships and just kinda feels like veiled marketing anymore. Which I get. Get paid, dawg - rock'n'roll. 

 

Seems the ae channel needs to happen. 😂

Bryan Bros is my favorite. I love Wesley's banter. Bob Does Sports also - FP's dry wit bouncing up against Joey's lunacy is delightful. I also watch Ridyard, Bryson, Kwon, Horvat, Ben Kruper I started watching after he was on Bryan Bros. The rest of them I'll watch if there's someone I want to see on there. For example, I watched the Good Good videos with Min Woo Lee, but otherwise I haven't watched any of their videos in quite a long time. Basically since Grant left. Gonna give Taco Golf a try.

Best satire on the Internet!

 

The NLU travel stuff (tourist sauce, strapped) is really good. The Titleist commercials they’ve done, not so good. 
 

I won’t watch YT golf instruction for love or money. That’s the devil. 🙂

Old gaffer here, was on the internet way before www… what exactly IS ”Youtube Golf”? I’m weekly on youtube googling for swing tips and the similar, and did enjoy seeing Big john play in jeans only, but I suppose this is a more defined niche in the golf world?

Pete Finch I think is over 600,000 and has been steadily increasing and had a great match out this past week with Padraig Harrington.  Also a podcast and a second (or third) channel, so pretty busy.

 

This was good craic.

If you like to see people finding golf deals, Stacked Golf is pretty fun.

I'd watch Iona Stephen play solitaire, lol, she's fun and honest and a good player and puts out some good content from interesting places sometimes -- i.e., Kenya, seems a little stuck recently but willing to tag along.  Low key and she has a sweet yellow lab, and (jealous) she lives in St. Andrews. 

 

 

Iona's soft-spoken Scottish accent is very listenable!

My guess = posh Edinburgh accent?

Last week’s NLU is what golf programming should be. 
 

I am an amateur geography buff and I’d never heard of King Island, and certainly did not know you could go play golf there.
 

The first course was IMO a little gimmicky and unfair coming in especially. The second course they played looked like perfection!

[Sir-Shanks-A-Lot]

I watch quite a bit of YouTube golf. Maybe it's my age (56 years young), but I have trouble relating you the younger ones, ie: Horvat, Good Good, BDS and the like. 

 

My favorite creators / channels, in no particular order:

1. Peter Finch
2. Iona Stephen 
3. Rick Shiels
4. The Average Golfer
5. Let's Play Thru
6. Bryan Bros  - I know this may contradict my opening statement a bit, but they are just easy to like and root for.

Just my $0.02

 

Cheers everyone, hope you're all having a great day! 😁

My favorite at the moment is Peter Finch. He’s good at the game and I feel like there’s at least some sort of continuity between videos. For some reason I also enjoy watching UK courses over USA a lot of the time. Never found him socially awkward or anything like that but maybe I’m awkward as well 🤔

 

I watch most of the stuff mentioned here but I’ll add The Golf Supply and Gaz’s Golf. Both UK based. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about them but I enjoy the content.

[Mrgreen36]

I enjoy Finch, simply for his sense of humor, maybe a little bit for the fact he plays pretty good golf too.

I don't watch but when I do

I avoid Rick Shields and 

back nine films

watching an 18 handicap chopping it around a course is probably easier to tolerate than the tsunami of screaming ones with “gain 30 yards in 5 minutes!” or “go from a ten to scratch in one week!” or “Hogans really real secret!”

 

golf entropy.

 

the only problem with the youtube personality folks is that everyone is named bro. i can’t tell them apart.

 

 

I've got a friend who is terrible with names so he calls everybody "Bo"..."Hey, Bo. How you doing, Bo?'

Been watching a lot of Golf Sidekick lately. He's very quirky & doesn't really offer any swing instruction, but really good on course management. I find him a very interesting character...& mysterious.

Easily one of the biggest influences on my life and worldview. Hard to believe it's been six years.

Grant/Bryan Bros "Making the Cut" series they are doing is really good.

The Creator Classic sponsored by Blackstone will take place Wednesday, Aug. 28th at 4 p.m. ET at East Lake Golf Club, the day before play begins at the TOUR Championship. Sixteen golf content creators will compete on the back nine of the newly restored East Lake. The tournament will consist of eight holes of gross stroke play, then a playoff between the top four finishers.

The Creator Classic will be streamed live via the PGA TOUR’s YouTube channel, Peacock and ESPN+, as well as the PGA TOUR channel on PlutoTV, Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Tubi and XUMO, among other FAST platforms. The Creator Classic will be produced to the quality of a premium broadcast, featuring live ShotLink powered by CDW scoring/data, Trackman shot tracing, and rich, on-screen graphics. Hosts will be in the booth with talent covering the on-course action, while the players and participants will capture and share their own content throughout the tournament. For those looking to experience the excitement in person, the event will be open to anyone with a Wednesday ticket to the TOUR Championship.

Pro Shop Studios, the production company behind the Netflix hit “Full Swing,” will partner with PGA TOUR Entertainment to run on-ground and broadcast production. Spearheading this effort with Greg Hopfe, senior vice president and executive producer of PGA TOUR LIVE, are Emmy-winning producers and “Full Swing” creators Chad Mumm and Mark Olsen, veteran creative executives KP Anderson and Kevin Plunkett and producer Kiley Homan.

I can’t stand any instructional stuff on YT. That stuff is the devil! 😂 But I love the travel focused content. NLU Tourist Sauce is easily my favorite and not really close. 
 

Anything similar y’all can recommend?

No Laying Up is still my favorite, but I have been watching a lot of the Bryan Bros lately.

 

Typically, I will watch anyone that doesn't say "Let's GO!!!!!" every 39 seconds.  That's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Taco Golf and Luke Kwon did some stuff together in New Zealand and played some stunning golf courses. Highly recommend and the banter is not bad either. Standard of golf is pretty high too. For e.g.,

Had to Google Luke Kwon. Initial reaction was Justin Suh and ‘who wore it better’?

hmm🤔

[Rory4Pres]

I've enjoyed Mr Short Game (course reviews mostly, the podcast rumor stuff isn't my thing).  Bob does sports is also sometimes entertaining, bad golf but good humor.  Taco isn't bad either and offers stunning courses but tends to be on the quieter side so you have to be in the mood for that.

 

Hard pass on Rick, Grant, Good Good, and barstool.  With Grant and good good, you could play a drinking game every time they say "guys".

I would think this should be:

 

Wesley

George

Brad

Sean/Kwon

Garrett/Finch (I don't buy that Garrett is a +4.5)

FP

Micah (although he could shoot anything from 68-88)

Others - couldn't break those down if I wanted to.

Mason
