While pro golf may be in flux with breaking into the highest levels of the game, business is booming for content creators. Social media stars have become so popular over the past few years that they’ve secured equipment contracts with major OEMs and are playing where the pros play, as evidenced by the recent Creator Classic at Eastlake Golf Club.
One of the most popular ensembles in the Youtube Golf space is Good Good Golf. The group has become one of the biggest success stories in content creation over the past few years with their channel up to 1.7 million subscribers, and they’ve even managed to secure sponsorship deals with several major OEMs.
The job of creating content is an enjoyable job, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Like any other job, the gig comes with a lot of hours on the clock.
“This summer, we were traveling maybe 15 days out of the month.” Good good member Brad Dalke said on this week’s episode of GOLF’s Subpar. “And then in the 15 or so days that we’re home, we’ve probably filmed four or five of those days… It’s been busy.”
Dalke, a former college golfer at the University of Oklahoma, also has one his channelwhich he films for when he is not on schedule for Good Good.
“I didn’t have much time to (film for my channel) this summer,” Dalke said. “But I’m going to start doing this again next week.”
Content creation may seem like it’s all fun and games from the outside, but hearing these scheduling requests is a reminder that it also takes a lot of work.
