Callum McGinley

Origin Story

An original UK YouTuber and entrepreneur, Callux got into golf the way only a creator would: by sleeping at a golf course until he made a hole-in-one.

The Origin Story

Callux, the online name of Callum McGinley, is one of the original creators of the UK YouTube scene and a founding member of Big Wedge Golf.

An OG of UK YouTube

McGinley built his audience with comedy vlogs, challenges, and frequent collaborations with the Sidemen and their friends, and he is a regular in the Sidemen Charity Match. He has also turned that experience into business: in 2016 he co-founded After Party Studios, which makes content for brands like Netflix, Sky, and Adidas, and in 2020 he launched the sneaker brand notwoways.

Sparking Big Wedge

In August 2023, on the What's Good podcast, McGinley, Miniminter, and Randolph talked about starting a group golf channel with their friends. Less than a year later, Big Wedge Golf was born.

The Hole-in-One Video

McGinley's golf story started with a video idea: sleep at a golf course until he made a hole-in-one. The game stuck. Now a self-described hacker, his attempts to break 80 with Randolph are among Big Wedge's most-watched storylines. "Being with my pals, playing golf on camera is the dream," he has said.
