"Caddyshack" - Don Sheen's improbable Jax Beach golf shop

In the first of a series of features looking at interesting characters and locations in the world of golf, we popped into our neighborhood golf shop to meet Don Sheen, the owner of a throwback equipment and teaching center in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, FL.

The content that NLU pushes out is constantly top tier. I mean never misses. I can honestly say NLU content was the main driving force in rekindling my love for the game. (And with no commercial interruptions, must have the contracts figured out)

[@tkbikesnc6079]

So true. I think I binged almost every Strapped series in one go when I found them! They're doing way more for the game than they probably get credit for.

[@justinw1869]

Their content is better produced than channels 10x as big.

[@bakedcheeks]

@@justinw1869 and it’s way better too! i’m way more interested in this than watching some channels play in a match

[@brian4878]

Good comment man thanks

[@kraigshelby00]

Don seems like the kind of instructor we need more of. Fun, energetic, friendly and approachable. More Don Sheens in the world, and it's a better golf experience for everyone!

[@GfCast39]

“You must not know anything about contracts.” Lol.

[@kebzach]

Don is the best! I've been to a few golf schools he's run in the midwest, and had a blast and learned a ton!

[@shane_westonvlog5913]

I love everything about this!!! amazing people!!! Its safe to say we all want more!!! Tron...I want that shirt sir!!!!!!

[@obroadieswimmer]

That was a great watch. Top notch content.

[@emilykiral7799]

We have known Don and his wife for years. Amazing people. He always makes you feel like you are his most important golfer. Quick with a smile and a kind word you leave your lesson feeling like you’ve made a new friend. Keep up the great work Don. Cheers.

[@dancorun6650]

How I wish there was a golf shop like that where I live.

[@jaypeegolf]

What a great guy!

[@barbswartz339]

Glad to see you are still doing what you love.

[@santiagodeponce9390]

First meeting this morning. Wonderful folks and a very accommodating facility. Definitely will return and recommend!

[@robertgardiner8046]

Don is the real deal.

[@peteyoutside]

I’d love a whole series like this! Reminds me of an old bait and tackle shop. I’ll spend an extra buck to support a place like this any day of the week.

[@jasonbrown469]

“Love what you do and never work a day in ur life” we hear the quote but here’s a guy who actually got it done, making me question it all

[@AKhan.28]

Amazing guy makes me want to go all the way to Jacksonville just to buy something from his shop.

[@graywyatt4447]

Please make this a series

[@brettcoates3759]

How brilliant is that guys attitude?! he would be a great teacher!

[@jedward4254]

Sheeeeeennnn he is the best. Awesome guy. Fixed me up in a jiffy and all with a smile. Get this dude a show! Thanks boys!

[@gordongourlay4449]

Brilliant. More please. Tron: He got you swinging good ... no lurch!

[@lukewinship84]

I drove past this place but never went in when I visited JAX in 2015. So, so good to see this.

[@MilesMartinGolf]

Thats so cool. Ive driven by there a few times but never stopped. Thats gonna change after today

[@dustinturner6804]

Golf is life what a great mantra to live by.

[@Shanny1976Channel]

His business is about to skyrocket - well done as always fellas!

[@bigbear7672]

Fantastic human interest story, your content is seriously the best there is.

[@andrewjensengolf]

Awesome video boys... love to see even more love for the Jax golf scene!

[@AlanBlackman]

I'm gonna guess that D.J. is the one that can smell a great person of interest story. Whoever it is, never lose that....because there will always be a market for that AND it's necessary to keep us connected as human beings.

[@gbone2636]

Wow that place is such a gem. Don seems like the type of guy who is all about growing the game, love to see it.

[@alexchancock]

What a brilliant film. Loved it. Makes me want to jump on a plane to meet him.

[@devpatrick5867]

This guy seems like a beauty, love seeing you guys take the time to find unique places and people

[@brianperticari]

This is what golf should be. A love of the game with no pretension at all. Awesome video.

[@PMMeiners]

If I lived in this area it would definitely be my golf store. What a place and what a great guy. Fantastic!!!

[@blakegravitt3635]

Awesome idea for a series NLU and Don seems like a treasure. Can't get over that green on the side of the road, pretty cool.

[@feagingil]

This is what we like to see. Great story about people. We don't care who the NLU crew is picking for the weeks tournament. Give me Neil dancing in the streets of Dublin, Randy shanking balls in the rough, TC learning to play with his eyes closed, Soly making up excuses on why he can't play tournament golf, DJ....uhhh You are best behind the camera. Lol. Great stuff.

[@alexchancock]

Yessss. I'm with you

[@mattclancy359]

Need and NLU x Caddyshack golf center merch drop! Love to support the crew and Don!

[@davidmaynard5278]

This is great! You can tell by all of his positive energy how much he loves what he does. I think we all dream of finding a golf instructor (and friend) like Don!

[@bprev7]

Renaissance man is a perfect way to describe it. Great for the game

[@smcreynolds05]

Great story. Great guy. Great content. A+ lads. Never stop.

[@samhodgeman4131]

So cool. A small, great video that we never knew we needed

[@bencashou]

One of my favorite NLU videos. Great stuff!

[@navykip]

This is awesome. Don made me smile and want play golf. Great video.

[@stuflynn]

Top tier story telling.

[@davidjones6447]

Love this piece!! Wonderful job!!

[@douglasmacfarlane5922]

What a great video and even better story. Don is the epitome of what more people should be like in the game of golf!

[@daviddeloney5694]

Excellent! Thank you for sharing. Love Don's no-frills approach to golf and life for that matter.

[@photobob1961]

What a great unique place and man.

[@pkaces]

Wow, just another great piece! Great content folks

[@bl8976]

Golf needs more of these personalities

[@jonathanteague7106]

That was great. Great story

[@brendanaumann6003]

I need a Don Sheen in my life

[@doucetta2371]

Incredible content once again from the NLU boys. DJ's editing is top-notch.

[@TomMcMahonIRE]

This was such a treat to watch. Great little storyline, a ton of passion from Don, and captured expertly with some cool shots and one liners.

[@nickmahowald]

Awesome vid. Love seeing the authentic passion for the game.

[@ryanohare5850]

You guys truly are pumping out straight up excellent content. Keep at it, it's a winner.

[@PGAdellamorte]

Mom and Pop GolfTEC. Love it

[@j.w.matney8390]

Great job TC & DJ. After it finished I immediately checked the map app to see how long it would take me to get there from Asheville. ha ha. All the best !

[@drroger98]

This makes me glad I have my own small golf store that I get to hang out in. Beats the bar

[@Chino2421]

Amazing as usual

[@robp.7769]

Awesome piece. I might head out that way next time I am in Florida just to meet Don.

[@jeffpigott2440]

What a gem of a guy

[@gotu32]

100% perfect. As much as I wish I could have 7 more seasons strapped/wild world of golfs this short form story telling is sick as fuck. Keep it up y’all

[@matthartford7884]

This dude rocks, just super vibes

[@MarkMac17_GK]

Need to play Jax’s beach while I’m living by St Augustine for the summer. Just hoping to bump into one of the NLU boys. Always stellar content fellas

[@nickb3751]

We need more places like this!

[@billsimard4317]

That is AWESOME 👏👏GREAT VIDEO ⛳️

[@yummystuff238]

if i'm ever in JAX I'll have to get down there. Great vid!

[@davisbrown302]

A good soul

[@zeos386sx]

Gotta give props to anyone running an independent golf shop today.

[@richardwindle1279]

What a lovely guy. Here’s hoping these places can survive. Shop local, get lessons before new clubs!

[@dreamweaver4023]

This was awesome

[@mikeyamrick22]

👏fantastic content…. Please keep this coming

[@richerthanu9256]

Don is Life

[@paulp2055]

Awesome guy…Tron…hope he helps you with your swing!

[@lpkaner]

Awesome watch

[@theclassof98]

This is going to be a great series!

[@GalsonMac]

All these videos are just so good. NLU needs to elevate some events so that DJ sticks around.

[@bsebold]

the dive shop flag on the back side of the caddyshack was my beacon home. 1329 7th st north brings a tear to my eye. real recognize real.

[@espennorway]

Real life club pro guy!!

[@gavinthomas8882]

Golf shops are like skate shops I can stay there for hrs looking at everything especially private owned ones sad we just lost ours to a corporate shop

[@jonathanmansfield9302]
