What happens when you WIN two golf competitions in three days… and suddenly get reported?

This week on the LA Golf Channel Podcast, I sit down with Blackerz Golf for a brilliantly open conversation about the highs, lows and unexpected reality of becoming a golf content creator.

Blackerz reveals how an incredible run of form saw him win two National Club Golfer competitions in just three days - only to receive a phone call telling him his handicap was being reviewed before it was slashed by FIVE shots overnight. Then came the messages: “bandit”, accusations and criticism from other golfers.But that's only part of this one.

We get into the world of UK golf creators, competing alongside professional golfers at Blitz Golf, the pressure of hitting shots in front of crowds, creator golf days, brand partnerships, golf equipment, online criticism and what it's really like trying to build something on social media.

We also discuss the controversy surrounding the UK Creator Cup, the positives and negatives of putting yourself online, and why sometimes the hardest part of becoming a creator is simply having the confidence to press POST.

Blackerz also shares why he started filming golf in the first place - playing alone, hiding his tripod and worrying about what old school friends would think - before content opened doors to courses, events, brands and friendships he never expected.

And finally… should traditional golf dress codes start disappearing? 👀⛳
