In Episode 13, Ryan and Parker chat with Don Rea, President of the PGA of America. Don has been a tremendous voice for PGA Professionals and was a pleasure to have on the show. We hope you enjoy it! P.S. We might have helped ignite an idea for a new PGA of America event…we shall see!
In Episode 11, Parker chats with Adam Messix, our golf course architecture expert in residence, for a deep dive on this week’s U.S. Open venue, Oakmont Country Club. We hope you enjoy this history and hole-by-hole of one of the best courses in the world.

Sticky golf. Jesper Parnevik won in Arizona with their putter, caused a huge demand, the company wasn’t ready for it.

What a stick! I carried a 3W for several seasons, only changing when adjustables were introduced. Currently, they’re super cheap…snag one for fun and be rewarded!!!

Loved the podcast. Surprised you didn’t mention Goldwin Golf. Nick Price and Billy Casper were staff pros. Their driver was the first by a “name” company to boast a size over 300 cc (310 cc).

Had one of the hybrids. Was my go-to club for years. Sonertec made vastly underrated clubs.
