I play golf, watch a lot of YouTube golf, and now get to make it. I’ve spent 15+ years filming and editing, so I came into this knowing how to shoot in changing light, record people on the move, and put the footage together.
I can help with the whole channel or one part of a video. Ideas, packaging, filming, editing, and publishing, with my own equipment and the experience to work solo or within your team.
Channel strategy & packaging
What makes this a video worth watching?
The score is only part of it. I’m interested in who’s playing, what’s at stake, and what we’ll learn about them along the way. I work on the idea, title, thumbnail, and opening with that in mind.
Matt Scharff’s channel relaunch
2 million views in the first month, across long-form videos and Shorts. I helped relaunch the channel with a plan for titles and thumbnails, then handled filming, editing, and regular publishing.

02 / Editing
Complete edits or a team handoff.
I’ve edited full matches, multi-team challenges, and videos that combine golf with a larger story. I keep projects organized and adapt to the channel’s style and the team’s workflow.
Premiere Pro & multicam workflows
Organize large amounts of footage, sync cameras and audio, use production timecode where available, and build clear, manageable timelines.
The intro and the story
Build the intro, follow simultaneous storylines, and keep the golf moving without losing the context or personality that makes it worth watching.
Graphics, scoreboards & tracers
Create custom motion graphics and ground or aerial tracers, or adapt your team’s existing assets to match the channel.
Color, sound & final delivery
Match cameras, correct exposure and color, clean up dialogue, and mix music and sound. Deliver a finished video or organized sequences for your editors.

01 / Sean Walsh
Sean sent the footage. I did the full edit.
Sean’s team supplied the footage and graphics templates. I handled the complete 36-hole video, including the opening, golf edit, graphics integration, tracers, color, and sound.

My editing responsibilities
Sorting and syncing the footage
I organized and synced the two cameras, two lav tracks, and drone footage before starting the edit.
Building the intro
I chose from several voiceover takes, tightened the script in the edit, and built the opening with B-roll and graphics.
Color correction & camera matching
Corrected substantial exposure and color differences across the cameras and drone footage to make the finished video feel consistent.
Ground and aerial tracers
Integrated tracers on ground-level and aerial views, including sequences combining drone footage, a tracer, picture-in-picture player coverage, and a score graphic.
Graphics adaptation & compositing
Adapted supplied Final Cut graphics for Premiere. Incorporated masking, a logo appearing behind the player, animation, and drone speed ramps.
Audio & final polish
Balanced dialogue and music, refined transitions, and handled color, sound, and finishing for the complete 36-hole video.

My Premiere timeline for Sean’s video. I color-code clips and separate the video, graphics, and audio so I can find what I need when revising.
02 / Good Good road-trip series
Six episodes. Six weeks.
Organized edits for an existing team.
I edited the golf coverage and returned organized timelines. Good Good’s internal team handled the intros, tracers, graphics, final assembly, finishing, and publishing.
Good Good · Road Trip
Approximately 6–6.5 hours of footage per episode · Typically six cameras · 18 holes per edit
How I handled the footage and team handoff
Six-camera organization
Managed footage from typically three main cameras and three GoPros, keeping media organized for the golf edit and the internal team.
Timecode sync & multicam preparation
Used production timecode to help synchronize the available material and prepared multicamera sequences for efficient editing.
Hole-by-hole editing
Organized each round into 18 clearly separated holes and refined the shots, reactions, and conversations before handoff.
Matching the channel’s style
I matched Good Good’s pacing and approach to golf coverage so my sections fit the rest of the episode.
Clean project handoffs
Returned organized, hole-by-hole timelines that the internal editors could incorporate into their own projects.
Repeatable weekly workflow
Supported a six-video road-trip series published across six consecutive weeks.
My work with Chasing Scratch includes live match coverage, documentary storytelling, practice-day coverage, and equipment videos.
The 7th Final Major
Solo filming and the complete edit. I filmed this live 1v1 match with a two-camera setup and handled the camera and audio preparation.
Getting the commentary into the match. I set up microphones for two on-course commentators, worked their commentary into the edit alongside the players’ lav audio, and incorporated podcast excerpts at the beginning.
