TJ and Gary are joined by Ryan Rawlinson, the creator behind RRaw Golf, streaming all the way from England. Ryan shares his whirlwind journey into golf, starting just ten months ago after a career in bodybuilding and a background in the military. With a mix of ADHD-driven energy and pure passion, he built his own golf simulator in just four weekends and now streams what he calls “live golf, but shit”—a blend of sim golf, music, and fun that’s resonated with a global audience.
Ryan dives into his friendship with Rick Webb, how golf gave him a new outlet after stepping away from competitive bodybuilding, and why content creation became the perfect way to channel his obsession with the game. From late-night livestreams to proving skeptics wrong with his DIY builds, Ryan’s story is equal parts inspiring and entertaining—showing how golf can grab hold of someone and completely change their path.
Next we dig deeper into Ryan’s content creation journey and the community that’s grown around his simulator streams. Ryan talks about the freedom of having year-round golf content right at home, how streaming cuts down on heavy editing, and why that makes his on-course filming even more special.
He opens up about the toll of playing nonstop golf, the late-night grind of streaming, and the surreal experience of broadcasting to tens of thousands of viewers as a 15-handicap golfer. More than numbers, though, Ryan shares emotional stories of fans reaching out about how his streams have helped them through difficult times—proof of the powerful community he’s building.
The conversation also touches on authenticity in content creation, the importance of simply being yourself, and Ryan’s next chapter: growing RRaw Golf on YouTube with a “Break 80” series that blends fun, honesty, and production value while staying true to his personality.
