There's plenty to talk about on this show as the outdoor golf season in most parts of North America draws closer. For those in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, we'll provide updates on range and course openings, discuss the release of the 2025 Golf Facility Openings Calendar at Flagstick.com, and highlight courses that are already open in Ontario. With the Canadian dollar struggling against foreign currencies, we've seen an increase in requests from people looking to spend their golf travel dollars within Canada this year. We dive into that, exploring destinations now on the radar for upcoming golf trips. Jeff has spent some time on TikTok recently and stumbled upon some "Hot Takes" on golf. This sparks a conversation about twelve-hole courses and twilight green fees that might pique your interest. On the Back Nine, we take a broader look at Rory McIlroy following his recent victory at The Players Championship, which brings him close to $100 million in career PGA TOUR earnings. We discuss his legacy, what the future may hold for him, what's holding him back from winning The Masters, and what a win at Augusta National could do for his public perception.

Brian and Bob visit with Scott Michaux and The Caddie during The Back Nine of the show.
In this episode of Golf and Politics, Matt Parker recounts his lesson and putter fitting with renowned golf instructor Philip Walker at Back Nine Golf in Bentonville, Arkansas. Matt dives into the technical adjustments made during his session, focusing on improving his swing consistency, reducing high-right misses, and perfecting his sternum positioning for better ball striking. The episode also highlights Matt's first-ever putter fitting, exploring how LAB Golf's technology has transformed putting by eliminating torque and increasing accuracy. The conversation emphasizes the importance of addressing mental aspects of the game, such as staying confident after bad shots, learning to grind through tough rounds, and maintaining a positive attitude. Matt also reflects on how lessons in golf translate to personal growth, offering listeners insights into how improving focus and resilience on the course can impact other areas of life. This episode blends practical golf advice with broader takeaways about mindset, confidence, and the power of expert coaching. Fixing High-Right Misses with Proper Sternum Positioning: Adjusting the sternum to “cover the golf ball” helps with striking the ball consistently, eliminating high-right misses and fat shots. Lab Golf Putter Fitting: No-Torque Technology for Precision: LAB putters' innovative design eliminates torque, improving putting accuracy by allowing a straight-back, straight-through stroke without manipulation. Mental Game Matters: Staying Positive Through Tough Rounds: Philip emphasized the importance of flushing bad shots, staying in the moment, and grinding out the best possible score, even on off days. Alignment and Ball Position Drive Consistency: Minor adjustments, like centering ball position and widening the stance, can significantly improve swing accuracy and trajectory. Better Tempo Equals Better Putting: Maintaining a metronome-like tempo helps ensure a smooth stroke and more consistent results, particularly on putts within 6 to 10 feet. Lessons in Golf Translate to Life: Embracing challenges on the course, improving focus, and maintaining a resilient mindset can positively impact personal and professional success. Trust Your Equipment and Coaching: Custom-fitted clubs and professional feedback build confidence, allowing golfers to focus on speed and alignment rather than equipment flaws.

We have one helluva guest for you this week! Jann Arden, Caitlin Green and Sarah Burke welcome television host and best-selling author Mary Jo Eustace. Jann and MJ begin with their origin story, the evolution of their careers, and the challenges and triumphs of aging. They discuss the impact of personal experiences in the public eye, like divorce and public scrutiny, and how they have transformed pain into empowerment. They also discuss the pursuit of purpose in the later stages of life, the excitement of participating in reality TV, the importance of connection and empathy, and the complexities of modern dating. More About Mary Jo Eustace: Mary Jo Eustace is an award winning TV host, a best-selling author and trained chef, who has cooked her way through 800 episodes of lifestyle programming in the US and Canada. Tabloid fodder for two decades via a high profile divorce, she has utilized her notoriety globally to create multiple platforms for personal empowerment. Her podcast Senior Bitches charts internationally, highlighting women over 55 who are changing the landscape around conventional aging. A fierce advocate of anti-agism, Mary Jo roams the planet, connecting with connectors, celebrities and characters who share their secrets to a life well lived. Her new show Day Trippin for PBS will commence filming in early 2025. MJ became a household name in Canada in the late '90s when hosting more than 600 episodes of the cult TV cooking show What's for Dinner with her co-host, the late Ken Kostick. Later entangled in a tabloid tempest — with her then-husband Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling — she managed to always keep her humour intact and strip-mined her misery for others' benefit in the funny, poignant survival guide, Divorce Sucks: What to Do When Irreconcilable Differences, Lawyer Fees, and Your Ex's Hollywood Wife Make You Miserable. MJ is funny and candid about her own fears (and joys) of getting older, and will offer a no-holds-barred look at embracing the next chapter with honesty, humor, and a healthy dose of self-discovery. As a television host, author, and podcast personality, she has discussed topics like divorce, single parenting, and reinvention, resonating with audiences by offering a mix of wit, honesty, and resilience in navigating tough moments. Her openness about her journey has made her a voice of empowerment for those facing similar struggles.

He was a first-team All-American in 2005 and 2006 and two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year.Willis was the 11th overall selection of the San Francisco 49ers in the 2007 NFL Draft and won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in his debut season.

On today's episode of The Edge of Excellence, Matt is joined by Grace Jones as they discuss her professional journey and the significance of internships and diverse work experiences in shaping her career. She reflects on how college internships, particularly those that allowed her to run her own business, provided her with the freedom and guidance to explore and succeed in the business world. Grace highlights how these opportunities equipped her with the skills necessary to navigate and thrive in various industries, emphasizing that if the right opportunities aren't available, one should take initiative to create them.Grace's path took an interesting turn when she moved into a role in entertainment sales at Back Nine, a company distinct from her original career aspirations in the music industry. Her role involves crafting unique event experiences, requiring her to leverage high-level communication and problem-solving skills to meet diverse client needs. This role has not only allowed her to refine her sales and management skills but has also positioned her strategically for lateral moves within the entertainment and music industries. Grace underscores the importance of adapting and transferring skills across different fields to achieve one's career goals.The conversation also explores personal challenges Grace has faced, particularly her recovery from multiple hip surgeries during college, which forced her to pause her career pursuits temporarily. This period of forced inactivity provided her with valuable time for self-reflection and personal growth, highlighting the importance of resilience and adaptability. Grace discusses how surrounding herself with supportive people and engaging in activities that brought her joy helped her navigate these challenges effectively. She concludes with reflections on the sacrifices made during her college years, noting that while she may have missed out on typical college experiences, the choices she made were instrumental in setting her up for future success.Join Matt and Grace for this fascinating episode. Enjoy! What You Will Learn In This Show:How college internships provide the freedom and structure to create your own business, book clients, and shape your professional path under expert guidance.The importance of lateral movement in a career, how to combine passion with professional success, and the significance of taking on different roles to gain diverse experiences that prepare you for your ultimate career goals.How facing and overcoming personal challenges, like managing multiple surgeries, can contribute to personal growth, better self-awareness, and professional clarity.How selling techniques can vary significantly between industries like home services and entertainment, and why mastering these can be crucial to career advancement in sales.How critical listening, communication, and problem-solving skills are developed through real-world experience, not just classroom learning, and how these skills apply across various job roles and industries.The sacrifices made during formative years and how these choices, often in lieu of typical leisure activities, set the stage for future professional achievements and satisfaction.And so much more...
In today's sunny episode of The Coop, Kit Hoover brings in none other than Katie Couric for a chat bubbling with laughter and sage advice. Whether she's discussing the rose and thorns in her career, navigating widowhood, or how she's shaping the future of women's health with her current projects, Katie is a vibrant force of nature.Katie's career rose from morning cheer on the 'Today Show' to making history as the first female anchor of the 'CBS Evening News' and then stirring up (and walking away from) daytime TV with her own talk show. She didn't just stay in the headlines; she rewrote them by channeling her personal battles with cancer into a powerhouse advocacy for early colon and breast cancer screenings. Katie has taught us everything about how to turn pain into purpose.And because no visit to The Coop is complete without some spice, we dive into Katie's love life pre-Molner (her current hubby) and the lessons learned from dating in her 50s. This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration and giggles. Tune in and get ready to be inspired, educated, and, as always, left wanting just a little more Katie.Follow The Coop with Kit on Instagram @thecoopwithkithoover
