About two weeks ago. we have presented YouTube Golf Power Rankingsa new series that tracks how some of golf’s greatest creators are performing when their rounds are shown on camera.
Makers are playing open qualifiers, stroke play championships, break-70 attempts and head-to-head matches almost every week. The level continues to rise and the scorecards are improving along with it.
So every two weeks, we break down YouTube Golf Power Rankings: who is climbing, who has made a move and whose handicap is in the right direction.
The data comes from Handicap tracker which monitors scores from golf videos on YouTube and calculates handicaps based on those rounds.
If you missed the first edition, you can look here.
Bloody
Slumpy delivered the biggest single jump in handicap impact over the last two weeks after the shot 64 (-8) in his video Here’s how scratch golfers play.
Rounds in the mid-60s will always move the needle, but they’re even more significant for players already hovering around zero. Slumpy’s performance produced the biggest handicap shift of the period.
The result also pushed him up six spots on the leaderboardmoving it to one +0.9 handicap.
Matt “Riggs” Ginella
Riggs posted one of the biggest handicap changes in the latest post-shot update 80 (+8) in a stroke play against former PGA Tour player Colt Knost.
While the score itself may not jump off the page, the Handicap Tracker factors in recent rounds against a player’s scoring history.
Riggs also moved up one position on the leaderboard and now has a 6.3 handicap.
Josh Oddy
Josh Oddy continued to show why he remains one of the most competitive players in the golf world on YouTube.
In his video testing other YouTubers’ clubs, Oddy downloaded a 61 (-9) which produced a measurable improvement in handicap.
When the players already sit around +5 handicapmoving the dial requires extraordinary points. Oddy’s round was one of the strongest performances of the last update.
