great pod again guys! loved finding the channel this year, learning and improving from the advice! I've also got a wishlist of some clubs to go in the back from your suggestions also!

Record breakers smashes everything. I love to see hairy goals met or dramatically fail. I get invested in your goal and suffer or cheer you on as you go. Hope to see more of that type of content. Same with the 30 shot challenge. Remember when u bring new people in. Give us a reason for us to get emotionally involved with who ever it is. Lots of luck in 2025.

If you go by strength of field the PGA has the deepest field in golf.. the players has a much stronger field then the other majors.. the masters is a joke calling it a major.. a small field.. and between past champions and the amateurs then u sprinkle in the ones who won and got an invite but have not played well since, by far the weakest field.

Great podcast!

Your father is a crack.... and we love having lessons with him

Rick may have the most followers but he can only dream of getting the views Grant does. Grants the biggest golf youtuber out there, regularly getting 1 million views on his videos. Rick struggles to get half of that with nearly 3m followers. Surely there's alot of paid subs as the numbers don't stack up.

Matt, would love to see you collaborate with the US guys, and get involved with the Solina crew.

Tiger bad mouthed yt...

Great chat lads. Enjoyed listening ⛳️🙌🏼🎥

2025 goals: - Enter and and win a local comp - Break 75 - Win My Club championship All this under the tutelage of Mr. Tom Fearon

Great podcast, I really enjoyed it.

Another very good podcast, lads. I predict Auberg or Hatton will take down a major this year. My wishlist is bit of my question last week 1. Pete's driving 2. Matt's putting 3. Rick's irons( not wedges😜) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That was a genuinely interesting insight into how KZbin works from you and Peter "The Talent" Finch.

Creators will be weeded out. Hopefully.

The main problem is the same content year on year. Start of the year driver comparisons of the usual suspects later on throw in a couple of lesser known drivers and then the same for iron's. Finally it's the same on putters.

21:23 You do KZbin golf for a living yetbyou cant practice for few hours a week? Like wtf the reason Grant is so popular because in the end people wanna see some real skill. People with full tile jobs and family can put in few hours a week.

Not sure were U Tube golf goes once everyone has played each other in multiple formats interest will decline but enough will remain for the bigger smarter channels to still make a decent living.

10:30 people are invested in watching comps to see Pete duff it about and miss Open Qualifying by a mile, again.

The days of watching pretty average golfers on KZbin like Pete and Rick are numbered and will drop in popularity. Rick’s views are down 7% year on year. Watching stuff from Bryson, the Bryans and even Grant is much better than what Pete and Rick put out. Their content hasn’t evolved much in the last couple of years, it’s stale and going to places like Solina or the Fairmont and pumping out 20 videos just doesn’t do it. There needs to be some proper original content or more people will simply switch off.

I am so impressed by Peter's business sense. He's so knowledgeable. Wow. Thanks for sharing this.

Video length is also important. I've been noticing more videos 90-120 minutes in length. I'm generally not going to watch those. The 30-65 minute is the sweet spot for me.

In short, I don't want anyone else on this free platform because they'll steal my numbers.

KZbin golf is better entertainment than professional golf. You get to hear their thought processes on why and where they hit their shots.

I just love to see you guys playing golf, because you are the same as me... I can see my self in both of you and you are funny and human.

KZbin golf is bigger for the golf Industry than professional golf. From club choices to courses that play, it’s all from KZbin. Similar to professional football, the money is killing the top level for the average person.

I will never watch Bryson due to his relationship with trump. You guys on the other hand..... keep up the great work

You’re missing a lot of why Bryson is doing it. He doesn’t need the money, he has said many times and I believe him that he is doing it for the love of the game and to try and expand golf. The pga was dying before liv came around, viewership was terrible, the players were making a fraction that they are now, a simple thank you would suffice. And dont get me wrong, I’m not a huge liv fan. Even Rory is back peddling now. Just as you guys are growing the game. I watch both of your content, and you guys are killing it. Keep it up.

Finch/Fryer/Sheils v Wesley/Jerge/Grant v Kwon/Tooms/Taco please!

Creators just copy each other now all trying to cash in getting boring now

Here's the best You Tube channel from Australia...great golf & comedy .. www.youtube.com/@ronchopper

Talking about video production while the loudest coffee maching is going bonkers in the background 😂😂😂 That in itself is decent content lol Get a UK USA mini comp with you two carter & rick v Bryan Bros Perez & Grant That’ll do numbers.

The word 'content' is a disservice to Peter and the top level KZbinrs. They are film makers. They are making entertainment. They are routinely producing films of 90 mins. Peter and Rick and those with big channels won't be hurt by an expanding audience - they are 'grandfathered' in so will benefit from the explosion of channels.

It’s inevitable the space will get more crowded

Trump more views all day long!!

I turned off at " I'm not going to get through the second stage qualifying." Comments like that will make me not want to watch the series of the qualifying for the Open next year, Peter got a good telling off by Padraig this year about his negative comments about his own game, we all completely understand you guys are human, however you need to keep us engaged, believe me I love the work you are all putting out. I have so enjoyed Peters content with all the lads recently.....amazing ❤

Love the viewpoint that you're the talent. That's exactly right. It's entertainment. Some folks are just able to connect with wide audiences and some not. Consumers form their own echo chambers and will watch things that just resonate with them.

I think the fourball of Carter, Fryer, Finch and Shiels takes a lot of beating. But they all have different objectives and characters. I hope it’s not nostalga talking. Anyway, will still follow all 4 for their different contents

Love to watch 18 hole strokeplay video, but I really think weather has a bearing on the way viewers think about it. Watching you guys play in the wind and rain is (for whatever reason) less enjoyable than Watching you knock it around in the sunshine 😎 I understand that cost of production is an issue, (and the UK weather) but planning for more fair weather visit would definitely give a feel good factor. Keep your vids coming guys, so much better than the rest of the s**t on the TV!

Regarding the topic discussed in the earlier part of the video. My favourite videos of Peter's are definitely the ones where he is playing in the local PGA comps. Especially if I have played the courses involved eg. Stand, pike fold, heysham etc. More of them please.

I don't watch 'professional' golf any more. Find it boring as hell. Rory and Bryson et al make my eyes roll back in my head - I don't give a flying eff about them or their game. Give me some good players who make mistakes I can relate go and have a sense of humor and relatability and I'll watch.

Dont be disengious fellas, people view because it is free and its relatable on different levels.

Why don't you do record breakers at famous courses in Europe? top 3 courses in a country during one week, 3 countries per year?

It's great for the viewer, harder for creators. Have to lean into what you do best: personality, production value, course variation.

guessing matt is not a fan of Rick haha left him off every list

But did Margaret win the bridge?

Until someone gets the subscription of every human on earth, you cant worry about the possibility of losing new people going to other channels because of over saturation. The whole concept of these channels is to grow subscribers and get views, there are still billions of opportunities out there so any chance to bring in people from multiple avenues is always going to be to your benefit. In the recent Solina series, I was shocked at the amount of people that commented about not knowing/watching Peter, and to a lesser extent, Rick. You never know where you are going to get exposure and recommended videos.

The reason I like you tube golf is because it is NOT the pros, I think Bryson actually hurts you tube channels... if I want to watch pros I will watch the tour.

Grant H , Bryson and Bryan bros are taking it to the next level You have to go with them

I think a lot of people (myself included) watch celebrities who've turned to youtube because it shows the real side of them, their real personality shines through and isnt jaded by what the media want you to think of them. That's what worked for Bryson. I think regardless of the money Rory would benefit from that.. or maybe he wouldn't!!.. some puppets don't work when the strings are cut 😂.

Dp you not think that a channel with old tech would stand out now
