Yeah I've watched a few of these now, they're a pretty decent watch. Quite funny in places. Although they do repeat the same phrases a lot. I've mainly had them on in the background while playing Champ Manager or Golf Club 19.

Also, they do seem to have bad luck with the weather, seemingly playing only in Monsoon conditions!!!
Definitely one of my favourite channels, after Golf Mates.

I don't get what the attraction is of watching people hack it around the course, i'm sure they are great guys, but i just don't get it????

Just looked it up now, so will see what it is like ... anybody know what their handicaps are?

I think John said 23 or something in the Rick Shiels vid. For their earliest vids they probably didn't have handicaps yet.

I think that I might enjoy that show were it available from my cable provider.
I regard myself as an authority on bad golf.
The older I get, the more academically astute I get on the subject.

If you don’t know who Alex Horne is then you will never have watched taskmaster
you should now go and watch Taskmaster

Am stuck in an hotel, just watched the 1st round. Horne has the shortest backswing, and is terrible at short putts. Robins looks a better swing until the downward movement. Is that a push trolley he is pulling?
I like how they zoom through the shots quickly- probably needed to!
Thinking about it there have been a few golf themed challenges on taskmaster.
Will watch a few more

Their definition of a good shot is a lot closer to what I do compared to how Crossfield/ Shields / Finch define a good shot

I enjoyed watching these videos, largely because as a hacker myself it’s interesting to see where others gain or lose shots. It’s often hard to be objective of my own rounds and see where I’ve made mistakes but seeing others of a similar standard helps focus my mind a bit.
Definitely entertaining and worth a watch. Not sure how big a market there is for crap golfers filming their rounds (or I'd have cornered the market years ago) but at least these guys are personable and having fun

I would think they're are banking on their fame to gain them followers.

People could learn a lot about the new mental side of the game from these two.

These two are simply more relevant to me than watching characterless elite multi-millionaire professionals capable of smashing the ball 400 yards.
They also do it with a smile and don't take themselves too seriously, which 99.5% of golfers can identify with.

You don't watch Taskmaster? You're missing out. It's Alex's concept that started as his Fringe show and has become a fantastic TV series, so funny and they've had some very good contestants. The James Acaster season was brilliant, as was the Bob Mortimer one, and the Paul Chowdhry one, hell, all the seasons are awesome. Watch it.

I'll add it to my always-increasing list of programs I intend to watch and never get round to. Cheers!
