BIG WEDGE OLD VS NEW GOLF CLUBS CHALLENGE!
"BIG WEDGE OLD VS NEW GOLF CLUBS CHALLENGE!" is the one new video on Big Wedge Golf, the Sidemen-adjacent golf channel, and it is built on a simple idea: one pair plays with old equipment, the other with modern clubs. The description lists Josh Zerkaa, Harry W2S, Callux and Calfreezy, and viewers note that Josh brought out his childhood clubs.
The twist the comments keep returning to is the scoreline. Josh and Callux were expected to suffer with the older gear, yet plenty of viewers say it was Calfreezy and W2S who took the battering. A double putt is being called one of the channel's coldest moments, and Josh's putting, a long-running weak spot, gets some cautious praise. The music between holes, which opens on The Smiths' 'This Charming Man' and also uses The Hollies' 'Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)', has its own small fan club. The most liked comment asks for Miniminter as a guest, and others pitch new formats, including an 'average ball' scramble for teams of three.
The video passed 600,000 views in four days, and it is carrying almost all of the channel's daily traffic. Behind it, the course-record attempt from two weeks ago, with Randolph and Seb on Golf, has gone past a million views.
The channel ran a touch below its usual pace and the subscriber count held still. Among similar sports channels it was a middling week, while Josh Kreuger and World Poker Tour ran well above their normal pace.
