[@GoFast865]

Cole is amazing. Such passion and knowledge.

[@scootification]

Came for the clubs, stayed for the top notch vibes. Cole you got it man. Keep it going.

[@TeDDNuFFSaiD]

If we can get more episodes this season that would be great. Personally this is my favorite series on KZbin. Go to metalwood and get a shirt to support Cole!!! I bought 3 and a head cover. I’ll be back for more lol

[@atamagashock]

They’ve been rolling in, so hopefully they keep coming

[@manmythgolfer]

IMPRESSIVE series. Cole seems like he has a history in club fitting, as well as PGM maybe. Either way... His personality and passion are what makes this series. ... Impressive

[@manmythgolfer]

DUDE REPAIRING A BALL MARK 101 LETS GO COLE, plus team

[@harryc2574]

Countless lives have no doubt been drastically improved as a result of Adventures in Golf and now Range Pickers. Take a bow chaps.

[@GreenKreeper]

Honestly. This series is the best on you tube. Cole’s knowledge is unbelievable! All the people he meets seem like great people. Feel good content.

[@aramdg]

i know nothing about golf, but I've been binging this series like crazy. Just shows the quality of the work. Well done.

[@RTP9999]

another high quality episode! the 975 with the DI and victory grip... very pervy... i'm all about it

[@swift1y]

Love it! I've been barrel hunting for golf clubs in pawn shops for years. The passion this guy brings to the game makes for some awesome content. This series is too good!!

[@wlh4395]

[@bl8976]

I see Nike VR, I click. Pretty simple

[@charlesmillard7962]

I absolutely love your videos. The concept is very interesting, but your delivery is what makes them so special. Also impressed with your club knowledge. I grew up playing golf in the era when so many of the clubs you discuss were made, the mid 60’s to today. There was a McGregor driver stamped with the letters LFF, that in it’s day was very collectible.

[@dpil810]

Cole is literally the Ron Swanson meme "Hey there! Is there a project you're working on?" -employee "I know more than you" -Cole

[@dereksprague123]

This series is so good! Keep em coming!

[@23poptartman]

Absolutely love Skratch content, showed me EAL and I'm a big fan. Cole and Range Pickers is my newfound favorite in KZbin Golf content and I binge watched every episode. MOREEEEEE!!!!

[@Froyd1660]

Pan over shot at 10:25 I finally saw another one! I picked up a Scotty caliente for 30 bucks about 7 years ago. Things so old it’s not even in the archives on Scotty Cameron’s website. Lovely old school mallet.

[@jieeeeed]

Binged watched this series, and I can tell that this is one of my favorites! I just recently started playing golf, and I always look out for second-hand clubs because I don't really have the budget for brand new ones. Make more episodes, please! Much love from the Philippines!

[@joeylal89]

had those irons for years!! never let me down!! classic set !!!

[@whatthefyke]

This series is awesome. So much history and every club has a story.

[@Peccs91]

There's just something so awesome about old golf clubs.

[@stop736]

If you just listen to his voice, the guy sounds exactly;t like Grant Horvat! I thought I clicked on the wrong video at first when I wasn’t looking at the screen. 😅

[@superturtle1000]

Hands down my favorite series. It’s really cool to learn about all these clubs and their history

[@user-bg1gs1kq8l]

The production of these videos is first class, well done, great format..❤

[@incufan32]

Thanks for visiting my home town, you picked some great clubs. Going to have to go see Pat the golf guy asap

[@oscarsaucedo3588]

par west is the down the street such a cool shop

[@owenbyers6491]

best series on youtube. Have you thought about playing 9 with your favorite finds in the series so far?

[@atxrich]

So many great golf memories watching this episode. I started playing golf when I lived in Portland and those clubs you bought were all the rage when I was there. The clincher for me was the talk about the iconic PDX airport carpet.

[@DHall24]

Love this content! Makes you appreciate the game of golf. No matter how new or old your clubs are you can still play this game! (Old school wins)

[@jesseruiz9257]

These are so fun to watch . I now want to build a bag from the past.

[@GotDamBoi]

I know my shit is getting old when the throwback gear videos have clubs that are 5 years newer than the ones I have in my bag

[@willradford7648]

This guy knows his stuff. Crazy seeing some of the stuff he has in his collection

[@ernestocastro8357]

Golf pickers is something i never knew i needed. Subbed

[@dustinct.]

might be my fav set put together, so cool that Par West has a pre-owned shafts section, never seen that before

[@mickstreamy8070]

absolutely fantastic! pro combo were and still are the best irons nike ever made!

[@Kyrothes]

I'm rocking the Nike pro combo forged. Love the series! Production and personality is top notch!

[@Inked_Kev]

Some awesome finds and the trade ins where complete gems. I am sure Pat was stoked about those clubs.

[@PatHatten-ss6im]

[@saddlebox484]

Love the series! Please Please Please spend more time going through putters and stop just picking up the first odyssey you see!

[@thomasross8682]

[@Burricane26]

I was in Portland for a conference a couple days ago and played it the first day I was there. It was such a great little executive course. I'll definitely go back and play next time I'm there.

[@CalVlogz]

Love how he walks into these spots and knows more about the clubs then they do 😂

[@byoshio31]

STEWIE!! Love seeing Par West in this! Good shit!

[@Alex-hk4bt]

Prada bag was so cool

[@willalexander965]

Pat is the greatest!!! If you know, you know!!! 🤙awesome video!

[@MiilkT6]

Something about Nike Golf, maybe it was because my childhood was in between the height of their equipment sales and Tigers run(also Rory emerging) but I’ve been buying/ selling & collecting it since I graduated and it’s been my favorite hobby aside from playing. & most of the Vapor product still stands with some of the best equipment today.

[@evanbloch6091]

The fit goes crazy

[@s0rry00]

Crazy to see you at my local range, shops, courses etc

[@ThirdCultureWorship]

I would LOVE to shop there!! that man is stacked!!

[@colinwaddell4616]

Bro i was playing those Nike VR combos until last year, they're still incredible

[@AndreKaut]

Gotta love the knock-off swag golf skull cover on the wall LOL

[@slow_blueberry3]

love this series, would watch full rounds built with these sets...

[@danilotiotuico6576]

The Casio is fire

[@Bard20]

Still play the 2011 VR pro combos to this day!! Never getting rid of them

[@mason4683]

Just got into golf last month and live in Portland. Great video

[@SHANKINMcJAGER]

Cole is the best

[@matthewoberton1830]

Range Pickers scratches an itch in Me!!⛳😎

[@davidhickey8613]

The nike combo set with the tour gold shafts and 3piece grips for $250 was a sweet find. Would be super fun to hit

[@anthonyflores9336]

Awesome

[@SWCHEEZ]

Cool to see all the nike stuff being from fort worth a growing up practicing next to nikes almost secret design center they called "the oven" I've always enjoyed playing nike stuff knowing they had ties to fort worth

[@christianpark539]

Anyone have Pat’s contact info? I live in Portland and would love to build a used set. Thanks!

[@JonahLorsung]

Yeah! The mailing list is linked in the description of the video!

[@evanbloch6091]

A titleist pro titanium vs with a tour ad and victory grip…. Unreal

[@JordanRogers2626]

[@jimlahey3919]

He cocked back that Odyssey like he was attempting a 60 foot putt haha

[@StevenTDahl]

amazing video!!!😀😀😀😀

[@jasonmayala7315]

Sick to see the journey of one of my clubs in here. If it were to be traded for anything that Superquad is THE one.

[@chrisfinger8359]

I gamed the exact generation of VR Pro Combos. Easily my favorite iron set I’ve owned!!! I’d love to find a brand new/barely used set.

[@Harrison2329]

Not me unknowingly owning the Nike driver he’s been looking for 🤣🤣

[@Headytopper125]

Pat seems like such a nice guy

[@matthewmansfield3155]

how do I get to shop at Pat the golf guy's shop?

[@TonyToning-ne7uq]

[@le9335]

This was cool video!

[@jsee2385]

Looking like a Jason Day outfit on the range

[@jeremyflatter6105]

Just sold my pro combos last year. It was hard to get rid of them. Now wish I would have kept

[@PDXJack87]
