 Right, welcome back to the channel, everybody. I have a lot I wanna share with, well, certainly the loyal supporters of this channel because, well, things are about to change. Quite simply, I cannot carry on like this. It seems January is the perfect time to evaluate your life and career path. I've already seen other YouTube channels post similar videos outlining their intentions for 2023. It's not in my DNA to not attempt to try and keep pushing forward, grow this channel. But the reality is that unless things change or we've reached our limits and I have realized that to move forward, I'm gonna need some help. And some of that help is from my loyal viewers. You see, the questions I continually ask myself are, what can make this channel better? How can you get more involved with the channel? And how can I build a community amongst loyal viewers? And I think we've come up with a number of ways in which we think we can make this happen. And hopefully all of which will be of benefit to you, including the announcement of a new official channel partner. Right, the first thing we're gonna do in 2023 is launch the Average Golfers members club, which you'll find access to via this button on our YT channel page and in the link on this video. Why are we doing this? Well, because it allows you greater input into the future of the channel. You will help decide on what type of content we produce, have your say in exclusive live content and via our members only community tab. You will have access to exclusive previews on upcoming content. The live chats give me a chance to answer questions you can raise in advance and have some meaningful dialogue in those live chats. The option to become a member of the channel is the first way in which we answer the questions raised. But there is also extra reason to become a member which is linked to our new channel partner. So who is the new channel partner and maybe more importantly why? Well, I'm pleased to say that the new channel partner is HotGolf. They are one of the largest online golf retailers in the UK selling everything that we review on the channel and more, which is important. First of all, HotGolf gives me access to a line of products that we have never featured before and access to brands that I don't have a relationship with currently, which means lots more content opportunities. Now I've met with a team at HotGolf who are fully behind the channel and very keen and supportive of this partnership. They've also got some great ideas for exclusive content and giveaways for keen followers of the channel. So keep your eyes peeled because we'll be seeing a lot more from HotGolf very soon. Which ties me back into memberships. To kick things off, I'm giving you the chance to win the brand new TaylorMade Stealth Plus driver and that's to all members who join our members club between now and the end of Feb. The draw will be made via a live YouTube video which all members will get an exclusive pre-notification and invitation to. Now next up is my attempt to get you all involved by hosting golf days at Hollywood Golf Club with the help of Lewis, who you all know for the channel. The idea is to host small groups, let you test some of the products you see featured on the channel, maybe some coaching from Lewis, play some golf with all of us and maybe grab some food and drink. I've already mentioned this in previous videos and more details will follow very shortly. And let me know your thoughts. Club members again will get first refusal on these days so another reason to join the club. Now I also want to broaden the content again this year to include more on course and travel content. Many of you will have noticed that the travel videos lessened in 2022 and that is simply due to my ability to finance them. So whilst I like you want to see a variety of content, it is important always to understand that the costs involved are significant and hopefully memberships and partnerships are gonna help me finance these projects in 2023. I'm finally just a huge thank you to all who support this channel. Week to week it really is greatly appreciated and hopefully these plans allow me to further grow the channel and its content. My final request would be that if you do watch the channel but don't subscribe then please consider doing so just to remind that it is free of charge and it makes a huge difference to the way this channel progress, how it's perceived on YouTube and that general growth. Whether it be like I said via you subscribing, that like button of course and always getting involved in the comments. I just really want to try this year like I said to develop that community. I see the same people commenting all the time in on the videos and it's great to see. I feel like we've got a trust and a relationship that's been built over a period of time and what I want to try and do is further sort of develop that into 2023. Hence this introduction of the members club. I also realized that it's a financial implication. Money is tight right now so I understand there'll be a lot of people that it's not an option too and again I fully understand that. There's no obligation of course but if you can and want to get involved in that way then yet your support would be appreciated. More on hot golf to follow. Like I said there's a lot to come that's all I can say and I'm pleased to be able to give that tailor-made stealth plus driver away so don't forget if you are considering joining do it between now and the end of Feb. We'll do a live chat similar to this and we'll draw out the winner. That's it. Thank you for watching. That's the update. That's the plans for 2023 and I hope that when we sit down in a year's time we've managed to develop that community as I suggested and everybody has been able to benefit in some way from the content we produce in 2023. As ever, thanks for watching and I will see you all probably or hopefully tomorrow night.
