Itâs Friday, and you know what that means: TGIF!! Which of course stands for âThank goodness itâs The Feed!â As always, we have a fresh sleeve of new videos to blast into the trees, so letâs get to it.
Old School
Thereâs an argument to be made that YouTube golf has become too ornate. A-list guests (see: LeBron James), seven-digit purses (see: Your Golf Tour) and multi-part âreality series (see: Good Good Survival) have all stretched the format to its fraying point. This is not necessarily a bad thing. YouTube golf now represents the widest part of the golf funnel, where the broadest range of fans enter and engage with the sport, often for the first time. More than any other individual or organization, YouTube golf is actually Growing the Gameâ˘. The side effect, however, is that the content many golfers originally connected withâsimple, undiluted golf without all the bells and whistlesâhas becoming an endangered species.
Thankfully, this week we got a reminder just how effective simplicity can be thanks to this throwback match between Brad Dalke and Luke Kwon, two of the best players on the entire platform. Sit back, relax and enjoy the golf (yes, just golf).
Neither Dalke or Kwon are the most extroverted hosts. Dalke, in particular, struggles with the rehearsed stuff, such as intros and voiceovers. But, thatâs not why either became popular creators in the first place. They built their audiences on the back of elite play in the space. Dalke is a former national champion with Oklahoma and has teeâd it up in the Masters. Luke Kwon is PGA Tour China winner and still competes professionally. Dalke admits his game is not in good shape for this match against his fellow Sooner, but admittedly, watching a good player search can be just as entertaining and enlightening as watching them stick iron after iron hole high. Such is the case here.
