There’s perhaps no better person in media to discuss This Week in Golf Brand Turmoil than Jordan Rogers, former Nike executive and all-around golf guy. This was a great conversation and we explored so much within a recently disrupted industry. Topics! Include!

* The Good Good Callaway ad controversy and why it exploded

* How chronically online advertising escapes its intended audience

* The YouTube formula of chasing trends, titles and thumbnails

* Why golf’s old guard resents the YouTube golf boom

* Why mediocre golfers (Like LeBron) can become enormous golf stars

* Should Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark have apologized

* Why golf media and YouTube present two different Bryson DeChambeaus

* We dare discuss the “golf hotties” of Instagram: The strange economics and audience dynamics of female golf influencers
