Anyone got the good oil on all the YouTube Golfers. Have been watching Peter Finch and he seems to be one of the only guys who are decent golfers.

Have just watched Rick Shiels chop it around on one of his "Break 75" Episodes, and it was pretty awful. It seems all those blokes who sell and review clubs and swing just arent that good at the game. The MyGolf Spy lads also come across as mid to low markers, but nothing that warrants a real gig.

A couple of Korn Ferry players have their own channel and have been really enjoying that...

Anyone got any others...

I am a fan of www.instagram.com/colinmccarthygolf (http://www.instagram.com/colinmccarthygolf) he is seriously an amazing ball striker. ( he could hit it 300 yards, back handed, blindfolded, standing in a hammock)
however he says he doesnt play tournaments anymore due to injuries and surgeries as his body couldnt hold up, so he switched to coaching full time. He is often asked in his live streams what scores he shoots and he wont answer that question, as he says he mostly only plays when giving playing lessons, and its not about him. I did see something about a 2 ball team event he was in and their score was pretty low, so i do guess he can turn it on.

I think we would find that almost every coach has a similar story - And anyone that can 'really' play isnt going to be spending all day making YT videos

George Bryan is Wesley Bryan’s brother is a very good golfer on YouTube who plays matches against his pga pro brother which end up tighter than you may imagine.
Zac Radford is a beautiful ball striker also.
The English lads finch, shiels, cross field, Whittaker etc are scratch at best.

If Rick Shiels plays off scratch I'll eat my own head.

I think he'd be scratch or better. Especially if he was like most of us playing the same courses every weekend, not always from the back plates and also not filming every shot and uploading it for hundreds of thousands of viewers.
