Cole “MadJack” Lantz Bio
Cole Lantz is the BustaJack Golf co-founder, Oklahoma State club golfer and lead editor who helped turn a 50-state golf journey into a creator brand before building the independent MadJack Golf channel.
Who is Cole “MadJack” Lantz?
Cole Lantz is a Texas golfer, videographer and golf-content creator best known as “MadJack,” the co-founder of BustaJack Golf alongside Mason “Busta” Nutt. He works on both sides of the camera as an on-screen golfer and editor. His individual MadJack Golf channel extends that work into cinematic golf travel, course discovery, tournament attempts and creator matches.
Evidence boundary: Oklahoma State records support club golf, not membership on the Cowboys’ NCAA varsity roster. My9Iron also found no dependable current handicap or complete current WITB.
Four varsity seasons in Prosper
Lantz developed his game in Prosper, Texas, and spent four years on the Prosper High School varsity golf team. A 2018 review of his senior season recorded a personal-best 67, a second-place finish at the Firewheel Invitational, third place at another event and first-team All-District recognition.
That record gives his creator career a genuine competitive foundation without turning it into something it was not. Lantz was an accomplished high-school player, but his later Oklahoma State record belongs to club golf rather than the university’s NCAA varsity program.

Business, golf and storytelling
Lantz attended Oklahoma State University from 2018 through 2022. A first-person podcast profile identifies his studies as entrepreneurship and marketing and says he worked as a cart attendant at Karsten Creek Golf Club while in school.
He also competed through Oklahoma State’s National Collegiate Club Golf Association program. The NCCGA record lists two tournament appearances, a low round of 74, a 79.0 scoring average and one all-tournament selection. He was named to the Fall 2018 All-NCCGA second team.
Important distinction: available records support Oklahoma State club golf, not NCAA varsity golf. Third-party pages connecting Lantz to Oklahoma Baptist conflict with his own Oklahoma State profile and the NCCGA record.

How Cole Lantz helped build BustaJack
Lantz and Mason Nutt attended Oklahoma State before launching BustaJack as a YouTube and social-media business in 2021. The name pairs Mason’s “Busta” identity with Cole’s “MadJack” identity, and BustaJack’s official website identifies both men as founders.
Cole’s role has never been limited to appearing in matches. A 2025 profile describes him as BustaJack’s lead video editor as well as a co-founder and on-camera personality. That production role helps explain the channel’s emphasis on travel, course atmosphere and storytelling.
Co-founder

Golfin’ Old Glory
BustaJack’s defining project was Golfin’ Old Glory, a journey through all 50 states that combined golf courses, local culture and the continuing match between Cole and Mason. The project separated the duo from channels built only around short challenges: the course and the road trip became part of the story.

Why Cole started his own channel
Lantz created his individual MadJack Golf YouTube channel on 09-13-2024 and released its first long-form video that November. The channel’s stated direction—documentaries, vlogs and cinematography—fits his editing background while giving him room for more personal stories and solo competitive goals.
By 10-22-2026, a public channel snapshot listed approximately 24,200 subscribers, 38 videos and more than 1.1 million total views. His leading releases included course features and matches with John Peterson, Brad Dalke and Ryan Ruffels.
Recurring themes include resort travel, public-course discovery, tournament attempts and personal stories such as a Sunriver Resort trip with his father.
Qualifiers and creator events
Lantz’s recent schedule shows a creator continuing to test his game in real competition while remaining an amateur.
2024: The Q
Lantz represented BustaJack in the 16-player creator qualifier connected to the PGA Tour’s Myrtle Beach Classic and shot 83.
2025: Internet Invitational
He played for Team Riggs and partnered with creators including Riggs and Roger Steele before his team was eliminated during Day 2.
2026: USGA qualifying
He entered U.S. Open local qualifying and later shot 70, one under par, in U.S. Mid-Amateur qualifying without advancing.
2026: Grass League
He partnered with Mason Nutt for the Hollywood Hitters at the Grass Clippings Open.
The public record supports describing Lantz as an amateur golfer and creator. It does not support calling him a touring professional.

What golf clubs does Cole Lantz use?
Detailed third-party WITB lists exist, but My9Iron has not located a sufficiently current first-person walkthrough establishing Lantz’s complete bag, shafts, lofts and grips. His publicly documented Rhoback relationship concerns apparel and does not establish an equipment sponsorship.
A separate Clubs & Specs page should wait for a dated MadJack-led bag video, manufacturer source or complete visual walkthrough. Until then, My9Iron will not present an older list as his current setup.
