My first attempt at golf advocacy

[Alvin Tsang]

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.

I admire your enthusiasm! Good job.

Thanks for your support! I hope to continue making more Youtube videos in the future when I get the chance.

Well done.

You do make it look like fun!

Excellent!

[Alvin Tsang]

Thank you. I am glad that the response is positive. So far, I had one person who told me that they might try out golf sometime.

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"
