Questions people ask
Who is Mark Crossfield?
Mark Crossfield is a golf professional and coach from the South West of England who was one of the first coaches to build an audience on YouTube. GolfWRX wrote in April 2016 that he had been coaching for 20 years, had been making his videos for about seven, and ran two channels with more than 220,000 subscribers between them, including the short Q&A channel AskGolfGuru. That year he also co-presented the Sky Sports show Golf Juice and hosted a stage at the London Golf Show, per Golf Business News. His channel now describes him as “the original professional golfer content creator.”
What happened to Mark Crossfield? Is he still on YouTube?
As of October 2026, nothing has been reported to have happened to Mark Crossfield, and yes, he is still posting on YouTube. As of October 23, 2026 his channel shows about 505,000 subscribers, 6,653 videos and about 356 million total views, and his newest long video, a review of golf follow trolleys, went up on October 22, 2026. Social Blade shows one or two uploads a day in mid September 2026, Shorts included, with subscribers holding at about 504,000, so the audience is steady rather than growing. We found no report in golf or major press of him quitting, being dropped by a partner or stepping away. One change long-time viewers notice is the name: golf press called the channel 4golfonline as late as January 2021, per GolfMagic, and it now runs under his own name.
What is Mark Crossfield’s handicap?
Mark Crossfield has not published a handicap that we could source. He is a golf professional rather than a club amateur: Your Golf Travel, a long-time partner, says he played amateur golf for Devon, was a member at Stover and Woodbury Park, and then had a professional playing career before coaching. In a video posted in summer 2026 he took on Open qualifying, and in September 2026 he made a video on the real difference between a pro and a 10 handicap.

As of October 2026, Mark Crossfield’s YouTube channel links to his own site, crossfieldgolf.com, and his social accounts; we found no agency or manager named on his channels or in trade press.

Our read
Ames Create does not work with Mark Crossfield. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. A working coach on camera: one swing fault or one club per video, explained by someone who has taught for more than 25 years, then tested on the range or the course. The reviews say plainly when something is not worth the money, which is what built the trust in the first place.
Why it travels. His videos answer the exact problem a golfer types into search (a slice, a flip, a driver setup, which irons to buy), so they keep earning views long after they post. That is how a channel with a flat subscriber count still adds hundreds of thousands of views on its best days.
Brand fit. Equipment, golf travel and coaching tech, where he already has a track record: a five-plus year digital partnership with Your Golf Travel and launch-week reviews of new irons and drivers. The catch for a club brand is the same thing that makes him useful: his reviews are honest, so a brand should send product it is confident in.
