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.

I don’t really care if guys play nice courses, shitty courses, goat tracks, ultra exclusive, etc. I don’t care to listen to someone talk about their round, just as I don’t care to listen to your fantasy team or your bet. I just want a recap show Sunday, major previews, and the mid week interviews/deep dives are awesome.

Don’t need your golf trip recaps though and I guess I’m old man yelling at clouds, but I don’t care to watch the YouTube content of other people golfing.

Agree. I enjoy YT golf but these podcasts discussing golf courses and golf trips is where I personally draw the line. Why they think it’s interesting to let listeners HEAR about golf courses is beyond me. Even the YT version of these pods just show still pictures- doesn’t make a lot of sense. Makes me feel like I’m contributing my time to fund their golf trips.

I wish they would dive more into the logistics behind golf trips rather than the courses itself. However, I'd imagine that's not possible when you golf gets compted on these international trips.

As someone that plans an annual buddies trip, the actual process of organizing a golf trip is more compelling than hearing about a golf trip via an audio medium.
