I used to have lessons with Chris Ryan, he’s a good bloke and got my handicap down 5 shots, so knows what he’s on about.
Hits it a country mile as well

Harry Flower and James Wiltshires motley crew are the only ones i bother with now, crack me up. All the others i used to watch, Crossfield, Rick and Pete etc seem dated and running out of ideas.

I've been watching an awful lot of Golfholics content recently......(y)

I really don’t like them, but find myself watching their content on a weekly basis as some of the courses they’re playing are fantastic. I stay away from their videos when they’re playing with women as they feel like a porn shoot in golf setting. Makes me cringe.

Quite like James Robinson.... Funnily i was at Clubhouse Golf in Manchester yesterday and golfclubsforcash were there doing their additional 20% extra on trade ins. The guy that was doing it was in one of his latest videos. He was saying on average he was gaining 150 followers per day and pulls in about £500 per week from it. I think a lot depends on views and subscribers from the USA....

I think most of the guys I watch have already been covered but I'll watch most golf stuff on YouTube, probably too much to the detriment of my swing over the last couple of years.

Really like Golfsidekick (the South African guy) and his approach to course management. Actually followed his advice for once this weekend and hit a 7 iron on 2 par 5's as my second shot instead of pulling the 3 wood and going for the green. Ended up with par's on both holes as well.

Putting out way too much content in my opinion, most of it is dross.

I still really like Robin Matthews-Williams. Doesn't take golf too seriously, I really like his laidback approach to it. Love the videos where he takes the mick out of daft training aids and drills as well.

I've seen a couple of the Golf Sidekick ones, I liked his video style and his approach to the game as well. Although he does make it seem oh-so-simple at times, like any of us could just go and shoot 70 if we wanted.

I used to really enjoy MeAndMyGolf but I think they went a bit stale. They don't have as many fun videos, and some of them are almost adverts for TaylorMade and Adidas. The older ones where they did challenges or just generally had a laugh were good.

Rick Shiel’s content has been very poor lately.
Peter Finch is juszzzzzzzzzzzz
I used to enjoy Finch's channel, but something has changed which leaves me a quarter through a video wanting to turn it off. I'm struggling to work out why, is it just the awkward delivery? Unfunny jokes? Never ending interludes?

Probably because they are sponsored by them. Got to keep the paymasters happy

Yeah I know they are, but it's too much. You hear them say things like "you could use more loft like I can with my Taylor made M5 adjustable driver.." etc. Just takes something away from it for me.

I know but nothing like a good bit of product placement lol

I am like you though. They did some great stuff about six months or so ago and beyond but it really is becoming a bit repetitive at the moment

I rather enjoy and have a laugh watching the antics of Liam Harrison of Golfmates...not sure I learn very much from him and his mates - but I can go with him...

Just spotted that others have mixed views - but I think he comes across fine - and the guys he plays with.

Alex Evans deserves far more viewers and subscribers than he have. Shame he only puts out one video per week, but perhaps that is why I really enjoy his videos when they come out. New video every Tuesday, and always brighten me up on my way home that I have that to look forward to.

Maybe he uses the three goals method?

In all seriousness I think he uses something called the traffic light method.

Red shots are avoided, amber when the risk is worth it and green to play your bogey golf at worst.

I've been watching Golf Vlogs UK / Golf Mates lately and I do find them quite funny. Accent a little grating maybe but you can't help but like Liam. He has a great positive attitude.
