Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 470 - Caddie Tales & Life Lessons: Behind the Bag at Whistling Straits with Mark Milatz In this powerful and insightful episode, host Bill Hobson sits down with Mark Milatz, author of Caddie Tales and host of the podcast by the same name. Together, they take you inside the ropes at Whistling Straits, sharing untold stories from the caddie's perspective — from sore feet and stolen shoes to the emotional rollercoaster of dealing with high-strung golfers. Mark opens up about the physical demands of caddie life, the importance of investing in quality gear like Hoka shoes, and the potential recovery benefits of ice baths. He and Bill also explore the mental side of golf, highlighting how the game reflects deeper truths about a person's character, expectations, and attitude toward life. They tackle tough topics, including inappropriate behavior toward female staff, and the challenges of managing pace of play while dealing with strong personalities on the course. Mark's journey is as inspiring as it is raw — a former pastor who battled addiction and found redemption through golf, storytelling, and authentic human connection. Caddie Tales isn't just about golf — it's about growth, respect, recovery, and relationships. Whether you're a player, a fan, or someone curious about the lessons behind the game, this episode offers wisdom, humor, and heart.

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 469 - Dean Snell on Snell Golf, Tariffs & Tour-Tested Performance. We sit down with Dean Snell, Founder and CEO of Snell Golf - the Official Ball of MGL - to dive deep into the world of golf ball innovation, pricing strategy, and manufacturing challenges in today's global trade climate. Dean brings decades of experience from the golf ball industry and shares his unique insights on how Snell Golf delivers premium-quality balls without the premium price tag. From bypassing expensive TV ads to skipping pro endorsement deals, Snell Golf focuses on what matters most: performance and value for everyday golfers. We discuss the impact of global tariffs, the recent closure of a major manufacturing facility, and how Dean and his team are navigating supply chain hurdles to maintain quality and inventory through Q2 2023. Dean also explains how golfers should choose balls based on their 7-iron distance—not just swing speed—and how Snell's Tour Test Pack is helping players find their perfect fit. Dean and Bill also talk pricing, with the MTB Prime 4.0 and MTB Prime X 3.0 offering performance rivaling tour-level balls, all while saving you money. Whether you're a scratch golfer or a weekend warrior, you'll walk away with new knowledge to help elevate your game.  ---------------- Subscribe to the FGN Podcast Watch FGN videos on YouTube Check out our other sports pod: Church Pew Sports TEXT or CALL (989) 272-2383 to share your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and questions    

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 468 - Golf Etiquette Tips for New Golfers with Mr. Golf Etiquette Bill Hobson sits down with Jim Corbett, widely known as Mr. Golf Etiquette, to dive deep into the essential etiquette every golfer—especially new ones—needs to know. With decades of experience as a caddy and a lifelong passion for the game, Jim shares his personal journey and why golf etiquette is more than just tradition—it's about respect, pace, and preserving the enjoyment of the game for everyone. From the practice green to the clubhouse, this conversation emphasizes how small choices—like respecting music volume or minimizing practice swings—can significantly enhance the golf experience for others. They also touch on one of the biggest complaints in golf today: pace of play. Jim offers simple, practical tips for speeding up your round without compromising your game, like limiting time spent looking for lost balls and being intentional with your shots. You'll even hear a few hilarious and heartfelt stories, including hole-in-one tales and reflections on the "7 Habits of Highly Effective Golfers."

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 466 - Scotland, Sportswashing And The Love of Golf - Joel Beall In this in-depth interview, host Bill Hobson talks with author Joel Beall about his groundbreaking new book, Playing Dirty: Rediscovering Golf's Soul in Scotland in an Age of Sportswashing and Civil War. Beall takes us inside the battle for the soul of golf as the PGA Tour and LIV Golf wage war over the future of the sport, with billions of dollars, reputations, and the game's traditions at stake. Beall's journey leads him to Scotland, golf's birthplace, where he examines whether the sport's original values still hold strong amid the chaos of modern professional golf. He explores the impact of sportswashing—where powerful financial forces, including Saudi-backed LIV Golf, are reshaping the game—and questions whether the PGA Tour is truly the defender of golf's legacy or just another self-serving entity. This eye-opening discussion uncovers the greed, politics, and shifting allegiances defining golf's civil war. Beall provides a candid look at what's happening behind the scenes, the consequences for players and fans, and whether golf can ever return to its roots. Whether you're a die-hard golf fan or just fascinated by the intersection of sports, money, and power, this interview is a must-watch!
