The goodbye wasn't a farewell to golf lessons. Alex Elliott followed his California announcement with more work on the everyday problems that bring golfers to his channel: thin iron shots, contact behind the ball and setup habits that quietly cost strokes.
His most-watched new upload, "It's time to say goodbye...and thank you", has reached roughly 191,000 views. Elliott explains that he is moving his life and business to the USA, joining Chris Trott at The Trott Shop in Rancho Santa Fe. Their division of labour is straightforward: Trott handles fittings, Elliott handles coaching. He hopes to begin around late January or early February, dependent on visas.
The comments add something beyond congratulations. Longtime viewers describe learning from him across several years; one recalls an in-person lesson, while another explains that the instruction made playing golf enjoyable again. American viewers are also welcoming the prospect of having him closer to home.
Meanwhile, "This NO BACKSWING Drill Makes Hitting Your Irons SO Much Easier!" drew the week's next-largest new audience. Another lesson concentrates on ball-first contact and taking the divot after the ball, while his high-versus-low-handicap comparison starts before the swing, with driver tee height.
Subscribers held steady, and daily viewing is below its usual pace. Across the nearby sports channels, Weightlifting House had a particularly busy viewing week; Elliott's weekly views were close to Golf Channel's, though their current daily momentum is quite different.
The move announcement remains Elliott's busiest video day to day, but "Stop Hitting Weak Irons...Try This! ⛳️" and the newer ball-contact lesson are also drawing viewers. California plans haven't displaced the familiar business of making iron shots less frustrating.
