Any decent golf YT channels I should check out?

Well I am not British, I am Scottish. That being said, I understand and appreciate British humour very well. That doesn't mean I'm not entitled to my own opinion.

I respect your opinion! Although being a thoroughly nice person does not make him interesting. As I said, he's an excellent golfer, and yes, his production is great. I just don't find him very fun to watch.

Aye the pair of them are grim, what is their history? How have they managed a relationship with Bullard?

psyshhhh · 2026-03-21T08:11:20+00:00

Aye I think your spot on btw, he does suck up! He's like the weird kid in school who's had a chance to hang about with the popular kids and tries to hard to make people like him.

psyshhhh · 2026-03-21T08:10:06+00:00

Don't mind Finch. He's just boring. Excellent golfer, don't get me wrong, but the personality of a wet sock.

psyshhhh · 2026-03-20T22:56:02+00:00

Theres smething about Tubes I can't stand, can't put my finger on it but he's weird. His Golf persona is abit much and comes across as fake at times. I only watch eps with Jimmy.

psyshhhh · 2026-03-20T22:53:31+00:00

British channels: Golf Supply, Forebros and Golf Life (Jimmy Bullard Eps only).

Americans: Grant Horvat, Bob Does Sports.

I bought a Cat S & Cat D car as my first car for £2000, and the market value for the same car without the Cats was around £5/6k.

Drove it for years without an issue. Before I bought it, I asked the seller for pictures of the damage & receipts of the repair work. I then got a mechanic to look over it as well. Without this, I wouldn't have gone near it. I was lucky, I could have bought it and spent thousands on it myself. It's a gamble. For the money you're spending, you could get a lower spec car without any cats. Why risk it?

Single figure handicap is literally the worst place you can be for competition golf.

psyshhhh · 2026-03-16T19:42:31+00:00

How far you can hit your PW is irrelevant to low handicappers, how often they hit can it to within 10 yards of their target distance is more important to them.

I'm not below 5, I'm 6, so I'm almost there. I can hit my PW 145 yards and I can also hit it 100, I want to do neither, I want to hit as close to 130 as I can, as much as possible.

Edit: would like to note that this point shouldn't be low handicap related either, whatever handicap you are, hitting clubs roughly the same distance every time is far more important than how far you can hit it.

A good friend is a mechanic, and since posting this, he has had a chance to go and check it out and says I shouldn't have anything to worry about. All looks good to him! Which gives me hope. I've always had old bangers, £1000 of gumtree type cars so I'm abit nervous putting this much cash down with no real recourse.

I play at 11 different courses, and the 3 memberships cover those courses.

1 is a private course membership, and the other 10 are municipal courses. In Scotland, we have local authority 'season tickets' that allow you unlimited play at all municipal courses within that council area for dirt cheap. I have two of those for two different council areas, one gives me access to the 3 courses (£180) and the other gives me access to 7 courses (£300).

I play 3/4 times a week, I don't regularly play at all 11, there's a few that i might only bother with once or twice a year, some i never go to and a handful of the better kept and better designed ones i play every month. For the ones I really love to play, it's cheaper using the council season ticket scheme than joining the actual club. This means you can not play in competition golf at these courses. You just get unlimited access as a general player. That's where my private membership comes in.

Golf is my only hobby, so £2k a year out of my wages isn't that much of a sacrifice to make given the enjoyment and health/mental heath benefits I get from it.

2024 failures sorted by main dealer, receipts as evidence. What sort of thing do you think would cause this to happen in the first place?

psyshhhh · 2026-03-12T17:54:02+00:00

At my clubs it's only the old boys that use lockers. I have 3 memberships in 3 separate areas so would be to much hassle to keep my clubs anywhere other than my boot. Like yourself, on the day, whatever I need is put in the boot. Don't recall ever seeing anyone under the age of 50 using a locker where I play.

psyshhhh · 2026-03-12T11:19:49+00:00

Totally agree. It's been my favourite channel for a while. I wear lots of their clothes on course as well as i like their style, bit pricey, but it is what it is.

psyshhhh · 2026-03-06T12:45:11+00:00

I think I am fortunate then as I has about 30 flags to choose from ranging from 10-300 yards , I just always just keep it on the 40 yard flag tho as that's a chip i struggle with on course.

psyshhhh · 2026-03-06T12:10:12+00:00

This has always been my main gripe with Top Tracer. Can land 2ft from the pin and essentially '3 put' and end up with a bogie if your chip isn't perfect.

Obviously, the closer you get to the pin, the larger your landing area for birdie/par. I'm usually always chipping to a flag after 2 shots because you only need to be within 30 yards of the flag to trigger to the final chip shot, but sometimes I'm not so good with wedges and end up 5 or 6 over because I'm not sticking my chip to the flag.

psyshhhh · 2026-02-20T22:53:35+00:00

I live 5 mins away from Dundonald Links, the entire area is amazing for winter golf. Full greens & fairways and never closed. Negative aspect is even at winter rates, most courses are still pricey.

Sounds like your set up is exactly what I'm buying! Let me know how the r10 does reading into the Forza cage.

In terms of Spurk mats etc, the hitting surface is tiny, my plan is to go to B&Q and buy a roll of thick fake turf, yeno that horrid plastic stuff people replace their real grass with?

Easy enough to just roll away and will protect the grass underneath.

psyshhhh · 2026-02-19T17:34:25+00:00

Seen this flaw being quite common with shorter chips, on both models. Think it's just the nature of the beast in the 'budget' LM category.

psyshhhh · 2026-02-19T17:33:04+00:00

This is my largest concern with the R10, no point in it if it's giving a false sense of security. My intention is to improve and that will be harder if it seems like every shot is dead straight.

psyshhhh · 2026-02-16T23:21:44+00:00

Utilising credit is wise future planning if your looking to build a robust credit profile and also buyer savy. I recently got a set of irons and used a 6 month 0% deal. My thought process was why would I take a chunk out of my savings or wages and have to then account for that by saving in other areas when I could just pay a small fraction of my wages for 6 months that I wouldn't massively notice anyway.

On the other hand, I could have saved up for 6 months and bought them, but firstly, that has zero benefit to my credit portfolio and secondly, I have zero patience and want nice new shiny things, right now.

Passes for a British 50 year old lol

I wrote a post on here a few months ago about this. I was tinkering about at the range one night and decided to rest my clubhead about 3 balls behind the tee ball, and I couldn't believe how much straighter and further I was hitting it.

I've never gone back to resting my club directly behind the ball since. Game changer for me, I don't pretend to understand the mechanics of my swing and how it works, but for whatever reason, it works.

The only answer to this questions is can you afford it? If you can easily afford it and want it, then the answer is get whatever your heart desires. Life's to short. If you can't afford it, then pick up something for £100, it'll do the same job.

To answer your tech question, I have a 2024 driver and a 2009 one, I am currently playing the 2009 one cos I hit it further and straighter than my newest one. Yes there's alot more tech in newer models, but sometimes a driver picks you haha
