The cynic in me thinks that the more you praise courses, the more chance you get invited to places to play free and that is important for content with a channel of that size. As he is not going to get the tour access or the matches with big names or the invites to Open roster or other famous courses that channels the size of Rick Shiels gets, you are then reliant on playing different courses to create variety in your content and the way you get invited to courses is to give them great PR. Not saying the course is not wonderful, nor am I saying that doing this is wrong, it is essential in the world of content creators and influencers, but it may be an explanation for the constant reminders of how good the course is.

Could it be linked to how much he gets for his visits perchance ?
We paid for him to come to ours

That is interesting because if the content is paid for like that then it needs to be announced as part of the video but I have never seen that.

I think Visit Shetland sponsored him to help promote Shetland,we had a enquirery about county membership whilst it was aired live.

I'm always surprised by how little this happens on golf vids.
I watch a few cycling ones, and they mostly make it pretty clear if there's paid content.
I'd say it was an effective use of marketing cash.

The fact that he's driving round Scotland in a Mini with South Lakes BMW on the side, and he keeps mentioning South Lakes BMW, asking people to comment South Lakes BMW - might be a little clue to who's sponsoring the videos guys...

Just watched another American u-tubers video of our course, it’s called 24 hours at the most remote golf course on earth.

He’s obviously not heard of Lofloton
