THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!

[@jameswhite4102]

Al - you’re a one of a kind KZbin golfer who every time I watch a video involving you puts a joyous grin on my face, to me, and I’m sure many will agree that you have more than paid us back in that way alone. You remind many who stumble in their golf hobby to laugh it off and onto the next hole. Please keep on going and I will certainly continue to be entertained by your work 👍

[@colstoncox4880]

Sorry to hear of your families loss, Family definitely comes first, and your now continuing to make great content that your number 1 fan would of been proud of.

[@s0505349]

Sorry for your loss Al. Excited to see you working with Reflo, been wearing their gear for a couple of years now and completely agree with what you say!

[@abommarito1]

Well deserved Big Al. We need to see you in America with BDS

[@StevelandCleamer]

That would be a GREAT collab!!! Al would fit right in with their antics

[@robertwithrow2900]

Please!

[@BooYaKah81]

Bob wouldn’t stop laughing. I can see it now. He’d be useless

[@garrettbeasley9545]

Agreed

[@LTR1420]

Definitely. His sense of humor would be perfect with those guys.

[@matthewhodge1137]

Sorry for your loss big Al. Keep on trucking mate.

[@damienfarrell9475]

Mate, family always comes first. Just remember you pay us back with humour and joy through your videos. You remind us all that the game is meant to be fun first and ability second. I'm with you for the long haul and can't wait to see what content you bring us going forward.

[@Tee-Bot2000]

We’ve missed you Al, thanks for the update. Can’t wait for Alex 3.0

[@kevinspradlin6288]

God Bless and comfort you Al. You are in my thoughts and prayers, some things are more important, and you know that. Your sheer joy and humanity comes through in your videos and we love you for it. With envy from the Mojave desert in the states where we are over 100 degrees F. Your sponsorships are well deserved and they are fortunate to have you.

[@Renmazuo27]

Been following you since your humble days at Golfbox Joondalup, even had the pleasure of meeting you once. While I was a little gutted you were leaving us down under and heading to the northern hemisphere, I'm so proud and excited for where this channel and life takes you! Can't wait for more of your shenanigans. PS, so chuffed you got to film with Carter and Fryer!

[@alexetchesgolf]

Thank you mate! 🙏 really appreciate that. It was scary leaving home. Even if it is just for a little while. I’m back in Australia soon for a month or so and can’t wait 😃

[@jons8151]

Big man, in a big landscape, giving big news, with an even bigger heart. Love the work Al, sorry to hear about the family loss. People like yourself helped me when we lost our daughter to cancer recently so thanks for sharing and onward and upward. J

[@alexetchesgolf]

Awwww mate! If there’s anything we can do let us know. Sending the love back my friend x

[@jons8151]

@@alexetchesgolf Thank you but all as.good as it can be bud. Just say hi to Brenda next time you carve one down the left and never underestimate what your smiles and attitude do for a load of people. :) 💪

[@geordiegibson1210]

Al, having lost my father at the height of the "Miley Cirus" lockdowns and restrictions, he was in Aus and I'm in NZ, my brother in Canada. You had the good fortune to be able to get back in time, play a round with him and enjoy what you could, you're entitled to time off from this social stuff for that, and hats off to you and your family for making the move back just to be there at the end. I feel your pain, you definitely made the right call at the right time, just know he will continue to be proud of you no matter what.

[@RayzTeeZ]

Sorry for your loss Al. But it does sound like your life is getting better and I wish you nothing but the best. Let's smash 2024!

[@dougiehightwrmcmillan2784]

Big man you make golf look fun, which by the way is quite hard to do and your easy on the eye ya big ride lol it's a win win buddy. I think I say it for everyone that I hope your family are doing well especially after what youre all going through but just try remember, we're here and we ain't moving.

[@ShodaiTakumi]

Sorry to hear of your loss pal. Just want to say, I've only discovered you about a week ago, and you've quickly become my favorite golf KZbinr. Every video I've watched of yours has made my day. Keep it up!

[@alexetchesgolf]

Thank you mate and welcome :)

[@aau240]

Go on Al! Huge news I'm there for the ride, couldn't think of a better bloke to be on a golf trip with.

Sorry about your family loss. Keep pumping out the content.

[@johnnymossville]

My favorite KZbin Golf Channel Alex. Your sense of humor and keeping it real is why I keep coming back. Sorry to hear about the loss of your Father-In-Law.

[@StevelandCleamer]

Sorry about your father in law man. That sucks. In the other hand though, your #1 fan would be very proud! Looking forward to you coming to the states in the future for collabs with more of our favorite creators!

[@ianredford8894]

Sorry to hear of your loss and family comes first. Keep up the great work your fans are always here for you.

[@sydn53]

As an Aussie I miss your vlogs from Joondalup, but I lived in Scotland for 2 years playing the best courses in the UK & travelled through Europe. I totally understand ‘family first’ & wish you & your family all the best for the future. 👍

[@leslondon2170]

Al all the best mate with everything. Love your channel. Your right family 1st 🫡

[@Brihutchie1]

Condolences Al, Wishing you and the family all the best............... I love your attitude, and the golf is laugh a minute..........Keep being you bro!!

[@Saxbygolf]

Sorry to hear of your families loss! And you deserve to be well over 100k can’t wait to see the content man! 🙌🏻

[@Pgdgolfer]

As a Perth boy living in Ireland last 15+yrs I miss the Joondalup course vlogs as it was a connection to home but at the same time seeing you in Ireland playing familiar courses with the Euro Posse is great.

[@alexetchesgolf]

I’ll be back. I plan to be over there too 👍

[@craigogrady5077]

Al, Thanks for letting us in. My condolences to you and your family Can’t wait to see what’s coming next. Your hard work shows in your content. Keep up the good work, always look forward to your vlogs.

[@vincentharper6761]

Please don't change. You're one of the first KZbin golfers I look for on my notifications. It's always fun content, and I think that's why you're getting more popular. Keep doing what you're doing Al. 👍🏌‍♂️

[@777thlee]

First and foremost, my condolences to you and your wife and the rest of the family members and his friends. Al you're such a lovable bloke, never give up and to your sponsorship, Thank you Reflo! Take care, big hugs from Calgary, Alberta, Canada! I watch all of your videos, and not just for the comedic value but also for the bad and realistic golf....lol Looking forward to the future for you.

[@peterfoale203]

Keep doing what you are doing, its different, entertaining and I look forward to them being released. Family is always first.

[@Brackloon]

The banter between Al and the bob does sports guys would be scintillating! Fabulous even! Only a matter of time...

[@johnnymossville]

That would be amazing. totally agree.

[@stuartlowe3196]

Smart Al, amazing - I’m looking for a hoody. All the very best for this year. I hope your father in law got to meet the wee lad. You are the kind of guy that will rise above your problems at the moment . Keep smiling and having fun. Best of luck this year.

[@chrisharte9030]

Congratz Al. Well deserved and bout time someone took you on as their ambassador. Good Luck

[@JoanneAppleton]

having been through dealing with cancer with my mum i know how it feels , thoughts go out with you and all the family Al

[@vincentharvey5478]

So sorry for your loss Alex, I’ve only ever commented on 2 other videos on KZbin but your video has compelled me to do so, after losing my own father I know your pain mate! All the best for the future mate and never forget he will be walking beside you every time you play! All my love to you and yours for the brightest future! Vinny 😎💙

[@VonTwinzig]

Love your style, Al, please don’t change it too much. There’s a move toward multiple camera, high production content, which has its place, but your interaction is far more engaging. Sorry to hear about your Father-in -Law. I can empathise, as the same thing robbed me of my dad at a time when I was putting it back in for him. Really looking forward to forward to whatever the future brings to this place, and please keep the collabs coming, warts and all!

[@virtualmartijn]

Sorry for your loss but excited about the plans. Would love to hear more about those golf trip plans with subscribers.

[@mikecrosbie5850]

Hi Al, My family is just down the road from you in knock. I've been living and working in China for the last 7 years and totally understand your reasons to return to your wife's hometown. On a sad note, I'm sorry for your loss. It looks like you very much miss him. Congratulations on the sponsorship, and I hope to grab a pint and a game with you on my return to N.ireland. Best wishes, China Mike.

[@alecmichie2081]

Condolences to you and all your family at the loss of your Father-in-law. Love all your content and particularly your humour, you kept me sane when I was laid up with bad cellulitis in both legs for 6 months which coincided with the lock downs here in NZ so all I could do was watch KZbin. I watched a lot of golf content and you were one of the stand outs with your unique stylecand humour. Glad you have a sponsor so you can keep the quality content coming

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

May your father in law rest in power brother!!! ❤

[@royrobinson3194]

Family always come first. Happy to hear that things are going your way. It's your sense humor that brought me on board. Sorry for your loss.

[@tsquad231]

Sorry for your loss Al. Been a huge fan of the channel for years and love all your content!! You make golf enjoyable and fun

[@AnthonyDavid59]

As always, we are never left not knowing what has been troubling you, and what has been troubling you. My warmest support to you and your family. I was so pleased to see you on Andy Carter's channel recently. I do hope you get to grace our shores once more in the future. Queensland awaits :D

[@TinCup73]

Bless your loss bud. Thanks for sharing your feelings.

[@theteebox8735]

So sorry to hear about your father in law Al.Al I have been watching you for a long time and i love how you have grown the brand,you are a down to earth golfer and a stand up guy. I myself will be ending my 15 year run in the world of I.T and moving out of corporate and starting up my own golf business by doing club building and refurbishing here in Pretoria / South Africa. I made the decision to improve my quality of life and follow my passion and i feel this is my path that was chosen for me.Building my sim at home end of this year and then I am thinking of starting my own YT channel and see where it takes me. Thank you for the inspiration over the years by just being who you are. I hope one day i have the privilege to meet you in person and maybe play a round of golf with you.

[@sweepingdewdrinkingbrew]

Sorry for your loss! Family does come first. Glad you said that.

[@robertwithrow2900]

So thrilled to potentially get to see more of you! You are my absolute favorite golf youtuber! And fuck cancer! Our family has recently dealt with it also but fortunately with a different outcome. You father in law sounds like he was a lovely man!

[@saberman1]

You're a good guy Alex. You deserve everything.

[@Mike-pz1db]

Sorry for your loss sounds like a great man!! Love supporting you!!

[@kubyone1543]

Al, I totally understand how important family is, I’ve lost both parents and my only sister over the last six years. It has really put life in perspective for me and changed my focus to living with more fun. This is why I love your channel, it helps my golf (I’m not as good as you) and you give advice with so much fun and humor. Looking forward to a great year from you and will keep watching!!

[@golflord5493]

Sorry to hear of your loss, glad you came home and got to spend the final months with him! Its also nice to see you pick up the local lingo a "wee" bit of time, a "wee" bit of that. Lol. Love the content!

I’m on board for this adventure! CHOO CHOO!!!! Let’s go! And sorry for your loss. Cancer is an ugly, ugly thing. Love ya big guy!

[@ChrisWade]

Keep the growth going, massive props for that! I was gutted when I had to mvoe back to England from NI. I miss the place as its amazing and the golf is incredible. You have to try the likes of Edenmore, Hilton Templepatrick and my favourite was the Galgorm in Ballymena. Please get a video on there, beautiful course especially this time of year, really well maintained with it previously being a DP Tour course.

Mate, there’s so much that I could put here, but it’s probably been said before. For you as a personality and character, you deserve everything that’s coming to you you’re so relatable and you feel like everyone’s mate (the fact that you sound like you come from near me helps too! 😂) would love to get around in with you And a few of the lads - put me down! 🍺🍺🍺

I must have missed this video at the time (yes, I should have clicked the notification bell, blah blah blah), but a lot of things make sense now. I’m really sorry to hear about your father in law. I lost mine 2 years ago too so I can appreciate how much it would have knocked you back. I’ve always loved your content and I’m glad you’ve found a way to do what you love and also get a family balance too. I’ve enjoyed the banter between you and James Robinson and I’m definitely looking forward to more matches. Wishing you all the luck in the world with you channel mate. I’d also love you to have a match at Sherwood Pines for old times sake, maybe with clubs you had at the time? Anyway, sorry this is a huge commitment.
