Tips for growing golf websites

[SportsFan438]

So I have two websites, one is a golf website where we travel around the world, talk with top instructors and show off some tremendous courses. We are also hosting tournaments for amateurs, and looking to grow that into a "for fun, but also competitive tour". http://www.golfgetaway.com.au/about/. Currently there are 20,000 members signed up on this website.

The other website is a golf university where we feature programs that are related to different aspect of golf like chipping, putting, etc. that people can purchase, and includes top notch instruction. http://golfuniversity.tv/about/

The problem I am seeing is that many people are not willing to pay for content, especially when theres so much for free on youtube. So I am looking for advice on other ways to monetize these ventures, and if anyone has any advice. Thanks.
