How Dan Mann Captures Golf: The Creator Behind @thedansome | Steve Tees Off Podcast

In this episode of Steve Tees Off, Steven sits down with visual storyteller, digital creator, and golf/lifestyle content maker Dan Mann — better known online as @thedansome. Dan is a Vancouver-based creator whose work blends golf, watches, lifestyle, photography, humour, and storytelling. In this conversation, he opens up about what it actually takes to capture golf in a way that feels real, interesting, and worth watching. They talk about what happens behind the scenes on a golf content day, how Dan decides what moments are worth capturing, and how he balances playing the game with documenting it. Dan also breaks down his creative process in simple terms for golfers, small businesses, and “tech-averse” people who want to show up better online without overcomplicating it. The conversation also goes deeper into the business side of being a modern golf creator — audience trust, authenticity, brand partnerships, personal branding, and what it takes to build a sustainable creator presence around golf and lifestyle. Dan and Steven also discuss where golf media is heading over the next few years, the role of short-form and long-form content, how AI and technology can help creators without killing authenticity, and why local golf creators in places like British Columbia may become more influential than ever. If you love golf, content creation, BC golf culture, creator businesses, or the future of golf media, this episode is packed with practical insight and plenty of laughs.
