???. There was a golf channel with two rather attractive young pro women, but I can’t remember the name.

Peter Finch. Always been a bit geeky, but last year or so become a caricature of himself. Unwatchable if you ask me.
Alex Evans is great. Someone you’d love to play a round with and then have a pint, or ten, afterwards.
Agreed, watched Peter Finch a couple of times and he was dire - his scoring/rating process on a club test was dreadful. James Robinson is another who’s presenting style is dreadful.
There's one UK channel that I have been enjoying called Not a Perfect Golfer. He is a high handicap golfer that has been improving. It's a very simple, no ego golf video of each of his rounds and quite easy to watch.
Interesting thread this as an avid golf YT watcher here is my run down on most mentioned here:-
Dan Hendriksen - Currently my most watched channel, I like the slightly more amateurish production value makes me feel 'closer' to it and you feel like you know Dan, Bernie, Jordan, Lee etc. really well which is enjoyable. However I can see the content getting a bit repetitive it's hard for them in winter to make good fresh content though.
Rick Sheils - Not much to dislike I find Rick no sense, no filler in his vids just gets to the point very well produced/edited and his reach is so impressive because of the snappy content I think. But I can't stand that Guy fella on the podcast, just tries to make it all about himself and I really don't care!
Peter Finch - I have respect for his content but I find his presenting style incredibly cringe and I just can't get over it! He's fine for me when appearing in others videos but I find him so Alan Partridge on his own channel it's now unwatchable for me.
Alex Evans - His casual approach to it I really enjoy and the insight into the tour life with The Bif (Paul Waring) is great, just wish he was able to make more regular videos.
James Wiltshire - Down to earth, real life look at somebody trying to get onto a pro tour, not very regular videos but enjoy watching him play.
Golf Sidekick - Comedy value mixed with actually useful tips put him in a different category from anyone else on this list for me, done so well at making his cult following. I love Thailand and SE Asia so to see him playing courses there is great.
Golf Mates - I really appreciate the hard work Liam puts in and tbh hate to see people slagging him off. Liam is just a normal working guy, not a pro, trying to make the most of it and a living from YT and for some reason I take a bit of offence when people say he's annoying etc. he's just an enthusiastic guy trying to inject some energy into it. I get that the 3 hole vlogs on the same UK course is repetitive but you can't beat the laughs with Barlow, eBay and OMP! He's said in recent videos he's going to level up the content and I honestly think he'll do a great job. Just got to watch in small doses to keep it enjoyable.
James Robinson - Find him quite annoying, it's not his fault just his voice and mannerisms annoy me and he's normally just reviewing the same things others are.
TXG - If I want some real in-depth insight into something I'll go to these guys but it can be very heavy and detailed for regular viewing, also still annoys me how far the leftie chap can hit a 7 iron! haha
The Average Golfer - Only found him recently but I think he has an honest approach and good production value, good mix and variety between equip reviews and course experiences etc. if I was to start my own YT channel I think it would be most like this guy. Particularly enjoying his series on converting a Merc sprinter van into a golf tour bus.
Tubes and Ange - Good clean fun and enjoyable in small doses but the childish humour will get on your tits after a little while! You can't fault Tubes' contacts and some quality guests he's had on though.
Danny Maude - Best UK channel out there for instructional tips etc. in my view
Not YT as much (although they do have a channel) but Chasing Scratch podcast is another one of my favourties.
