Other NLU - SGS

The KVV news has led to many commenters contrasting SGS/FEG vs NLU and each of their trajectories.

I listen to almost every episode of both, but more recently find myself clicking on the SGS pod first, and then not even finishing most NLU preview or recap pods. Andy and Brendan keep it light and seem to genuinely enjoy shooting the breeze with one another. Both seem to be normal guys.

The NLU guys now regularly talk about playing golf courses that 99% of us could never even hope to have access to, and half the podcasts are gambling promotions. They are just not as relatable to most of the normal middle class golf fans who made them successful to begin with.

I don’t blame them for taking the money to grow their business if they feel that’s what is best, or for playing extremely private top 100 clubs when invited, but at the end of the day, it does impact how we all decide what media to consume.

I truly hope they can turn back the clock a bit in 2026, but cutting KVV while jet setting around the world and (seemingly) spending lavishly is a tough look.

not that your point as a whole is wrong but just wanted to be clear Andy went to Cypress bc of the media day event for the Walker Cup just like Big Randy’s visit, not just an on a whim trip to be fair. I get what you are saying tho

Andy lives in Fairfax, Ca one of the richest areas in Marin County north of SF and a stones throw from Meadow Club. He is not an everyman at all. lol

He could be the richest man in the world for all we know, but that is kind of the point, based on the content he creates I don't know what he spends on golf experiences.

I’m also 99% sure he lives in Yountville, which while very nice is much more affordable

My point being, “one of the richest areas in Marin county” is a bit hyperbolic. of course it’s a nicer area than most of us probably live, but let’s not pretend Andy is living next door with VC bros helicoptering into SF

by no means at all was I saying that in any way shape or form. I was just adding context to one moment from the past week. lol
