Brad, Came across the channel a week or so and watched the content throughout the week. Really enjoy you posting tournament content. Personally, tournament content is my favorite niche. It's relatable and golf that has purpose is just better for my personal interests. Wanted to communicate that because your stuff is good and I think there is an audience for it. For 2025, id invest into a decent camera and just have whomever is tagging along get more involved with the filming. You have an enjoyable game to watch! Suggestions for how you can structure your content if you dont feel you are personally a "content creator" type of guy: - Start a series for 2025 similar to Ben Hadden, and just personalize it. Document some of your practice/grind content and even a few of your sessions from time to time with your coach. - For the year series, have an intro sequence once in awhile where you talk about what you're working on in your game. What tournament (our tournaments if its a broader topic video) you are prepping for. Tell us what YOUR majors for the year are. I think this is an easy way for you to get people to be invested into YOU and it's also a way for you to have your RUclips channel cater towards more "documentative" style content, that way you won't have to feel like you're forcing a personality. - This goes back to my first point but, aside from content that is more broader topic, you can start structuring your content and upload frequency TOWARDS your upcoming tournament. The strengths and weaknesses of your game don't change much but what does change is the time you need to allocate to what. Sometimes driver is off. Sometimes its putting or shortgame. You can document some of those sessions while talking about that upcoming tournament you're prepping for. A few videosa year leading up to it can be catered towards US Open qualifier prep, yeah? The same concept applies to any of your other favorite events. It is just an easier way for you to quadruple your production output. Talking about what you're working on mechanically. Maybe you can even post some 9-Hole vlog stuff where you aren't even working on technical stuff but working on mental stuff like "purely execution" or positive reinforcement practice (positive self-talk etc..). Theres a lot of uploading opportunities if you just structure your channel a bit more... AND I think you'll fall in love with the process. If I know what you're preparing for, it just naturally makes me share that same excitement level with you. I'm sure the same things you feel towards your favorite events is the same way I feel about mine. Fair point? - ANY Highlights or lowlights from your Long form content can be recycled to be used towards your RUclips shorts or Instagram & TikTok. Now your content output is tenfold with minimal effort. Working smarter not harder... Take the leap dude. I think you'd nail this!!!
Really appreciate the feedback! Will be getting a golf membership this year to make any video I want plus be more personal in the process. Appreciate the ideas and support. And all tournaments will be filmed as well as leading up to them.
@BradThurkettleGolfs keep killing it. Just wanted to help you get the wheels turning in your head because new creators need people to tell them they have the sauce!
