I made this video to try to persuade my friends to give golf a chance.

It is titled "Golf is Awesome! (you should try it out!)

Just uploaded yesterday night, and I've had some good responses.

Let me know what you guys think.

Well done.

You do make it look like fun!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Nice job, only suggestion I'd make is to include more people with you.  Golf is a social game too.  My golf buddies and I share a lot of laughs when we're playing so even if we're not playing our best we're having a good time.

That's a very good suggestion. I've had many suggestions from friends, but they never mentioned this one before.

It does appear that a many successful sports advocacy videos have more people in them (eg the amazing GoPro videos).

I will try my best to do that in future videos, but I think it will not be easy, because my golfing buddies so far don't like being put on film on Youtube for the entire world to see. In fact, I had to cut out a lot of footage for this film specifically to make sure that they were only caught on film to a very minimal extent.

Hahaha...........I admire your dedication!!   I think the biggest problem in that part of the world is affordability.  Most people can't afford to play..........

Nice job though...

That is so true. The gap between the rich and poor is very wide in my city. Some people are swimming in cash, while many struggle just to make ends meet.

One of my viewers said to me: Good video, but golf is only for the rich.

I told him that actually, it is still possible to play golf on a budget, eg by borrowing clubs from a friend and playing a less exclusive golf courses.

But even then, some people cannot afford it at that level.

Perhaps another idea for a video would be "How to play golf without burning a hole in your pocket"

    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.

    • This is why you should never have any expectations when you play golf even when you think things are starting to click together. In end golf will just curb stump you.
