Adam McLean

Divot Dudes

Origin Story

Adam McLean co-founded Divot Dudes with his childhood friend Conner Sibley, and turned "great vibes, average golf" into one of golf YouTube's most relatable brands.

The Origin Story

Adam McLean is one half of Divot Dudes, the American duo of childhood friends who left their jobs to make golf content for the everyday player.

How He Joined

McLean didn't join Divot Dudes; he started it. He and Conner Sibley co-founded the channel together, and McLean co-hosts the duo's Average Golf Club podcast.

A Hot Tub Idea

Divot Dudes started with a conversation between two lifelong friends in a hot tub. Adam McLean and Conner Sibley eventually quit their jobs to go all in, leaning on family support through the lean early days, and built the channel into a full company with more than 400,000 YouTube subscribers.

Great Vibes, Average Golf

In a corner of YouTube dominated by elite players, Divot Dudes found its voice by celebrating the average golfer: challenges, course tours, and call-out matches for everyone who will never be scratch, plus the Average Golf Club podcast.
