Y for You Tube

You Tube – friend or a foe?

As we hit a landmark 2K subscribers to our Travelling Lady Golfer You Tube channel yesterday, Y for You Tube seems appropriate to have this discussion.

Our YT channel has been going for about 2 years, with a massive hole in its content due to – yep you’ve guessed it – Covid.

Both Steve and I work on You Tube content and production.  In the past he has been the cameraman and production and I’ve been front of camera, possibly as I don’t mind making a fool of myself and happy to show my somewhat erratic golf!  But with the newly refurbished, upgraded and regurgitated us, we are going to be flipping that camera around this year… maybe… hopefully…

In our ‘Girls Day Out’ features we do course reviews by women with more in this series coming this year too.  We invite golfers to join us and are very much looking forward to working with both male and female golfers of all abilities and ages this year too, so get in touch if you want in.  We also show, as the name suggests, some great places to visit for your golf.  

Being a golf plus channel, we will show you gastronomy, sightseeing, accommodation – pretty much anything we are shown, we share with you so you can make you own choices.  We don’t sell anything except ideas which costs you the grand sum of 5 to 10 minuets of your time to watch our videos.

From a personal perspective, we have found You Tube to an invaluable source of entertainment and information – its our go to channel if we want to know how to fit new seals to the landrover windows, or pick up some putting drills, it has it all.

You Tube is my go to for Yoga – Ha! a double Y – Yoga on You Tube.  I started doing weekly yoga in a class for and hour and half and whilst I loved it, I just didn’t seem to have the concentration to switch off for that long.  The relax period at the end was met by my fidgeting body and twitching hands and feet wanting to get up and get on. So I stopped the class and found @adrienelouise aka ‘Yoga with Adriene’ on You Tube.  I do one of her classes 3 or 4 times a week and feel great for it.  I even did her 30 day challenge!  Yoga helped me though a rotator cuff injury sustained as I bumped Micky Mouse style step by step down a flight of stairs jolting my arm on route . I could barely lift my arm above my head, now I have full rotation once again. Yoga is seriously good for golfers – in fact Adriene does one just for golfers, if you’re interested?

You Tube has been my friend, it has helped me show you some great, some ugly and some funny content, I also watch a number of golf channels, not all big names, in fact mostly they aren’t big names but they are real and I love YT for that
