  • Growing The Game - Nathalie Sheehan
    Jan 16 2025

    We love having guests on the show who stay chasin’ when it comes to their dreams. This is exactly our guest today as we sit down with Nathalie Sheehan and hear her story from growing up on the ice to now becoming one of golf’s premier instructors in 2025.

    We open up the episode and get right into the PGA Show which kicks off next week. Unfortunately, we can’t make it, but maybe we’ll set some time aside for 2026. She gives us a look inside her journey with golf and getting where she is today. We touch on the technology aspect of golf and how that helps in teaching. It’s apparent that her passion for teaching doesn’t stop with adults, but kids, too.

    We get into some tournament talk and what the nerves feel like in that round compared to a normal round with your friends. We chatted a bit about the short game and how it’s imperative for lowering your score, even if you’re a weekend golfer. We discuss managing emotions on the course and why visualization is key.

    We round out the episode with a cool caddy story from Augusta and her role with the golf channel. Any future broadcasting gigs??? We end the episode with our standard tap-in segment where we ask her four questions that demand her quick response..although one response wasn’t so quick. Tune in, share, and listen to a rising star!

  • New Year, Same Us
    Jan 9 2025

    This week’s episode is just a start to the New Year. We have a lot of good talk revolving around golf and the holiday season. We debate when is too early in the year to take a golf trip or when is it too late?

    We just got back from a quick trip to the Sunshine State where we pegged it up for 3 days and got into some talks around that. This light hearted banter episode brings us back to the roots of this show and its fitting for the first drop of the year.

    We dive into the state of the PGA Tour and other talks surrounding golf and sports in general. We finish this off with a Birdie Count challenge that runs the full year. Can you keep track of yours?

    Tune in, sit back, and let us know what you think. We’ll be back sooner than later with more guests and more fun talks.

  • Four Ball Talk - Q School Junkie & a Sez
    Dec 19 2024

    We’re ending the year on a bang. And we can’t thank you enough for the support we’ve had this year. Now, looking ahead to 2025, we can’t wait to keep bringing some good episodes. But for now, we’re joined by two long-lost friends. For context, Sez works for FootJoy, and Sully (Ryan Sullivan) plays at the Pro level and is a Monday Q junkie. We felt it was good to have the boys on and join us on what would typically be our ‘banter’ session. But today, it’s four ball (or 8).

    We break open the episode and get right into it with some background on what these two do. Sully can’t keep himself off the golf course, and Sez is just looking for another Member-Guest to get in on. We hear some stories about the two of them and their golfing addiction, which naturally pairs well with us!

    Sully tells us a story of his time playing with Donald Trump. It’s a funny story and warrants a listen...other than the fact he lost the autographed scorecard from DJT himself.

    Sez breaks open with a story of caddying for Michael Jordan. We chop it up a bit and really have no purpose for this episode other than for a good time and some good laughs. We hope you tune in, listen, share, or whatever your heart desires. We look forward to bringing you some more episodes in 2025!
