943: Matt Ginella, TV personality from The Golf Channel and The FirePit Collective, discusses his obsession with L.A.B. Golf and his journey to uncover the story behind the company. Matt's interest in L.A.B. Golf was sparked when he witnessed Lucas Glover's success with the putter. He explains how his interviews with Sam and Bill Presse, the inventor of The Revealer, revealed the fascinating history of L.A.B. Golf. Matt also discusses the influence of Vaughn Taylor, Kelly Slater, and Adam Scott in the L.A.B. Golf story. The podcast series is described as an audio book, with each episode weaving together multiple voices to create a compelling narrative arc. This conversation covers a range of topics, including the importance of reporting and authenticity in broadcasting, Kelly Slater's influence on golf, the success of L.A.B. Golf and the importance of tour recognition, the marketing of golf putters and the concept of “letting go of control to gain control”, the transformation of Lucas Glover and the power of never giving up. Fred and Matt also get some quick hits on golf courses in Northern Ireland that will be played on the Golf Smarter Royal Adventure in July. TakeawaysMatt Ginella's obsession with L.A.B.

Upon hearing about his competition in this year's Wishbone Brawl at Goat Hill Park in Oceanside, Calif., in which Xander Schauffele (No. 6 in the world) and Chris Riley (PGA Tour winner and former Ryder Cupper) will be taking on Geoff Ogilvy (U.S. Open winner) and Colin Featherstone (Korn Ferry Tour player and local legend), as well as Jasmine and Janae Leovao, 19-year-old twins who are sophomores at Long Beach State where they're coming off back-to-back team wins in the Big West Conference, and who grew up playing Goat Hill Park,  Schauffele couldn't help but acknowledge what most people are thinking: “When I said we were slight underdogs, I was talking about the field.” In part 2 of our Fire Pit podcast series previewing Wishbone Brawl VI, Schauffele shares his thoughts about how and why this event means so much to him, John Ashworth's effective leadership, the evolution of the course's condition, the magic in that land, the smiles on the kid's faces and why Goat Hill Park, a 4,500-yard, par-65 municipal course is so conducive to this type of event in which women won't just play with the men, they'll play against them. For updates throughout the day and during the Wishbone Brawl, be sure to follow Fire Pit Collective's social channels, Goat Hill Park and Linksoul.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bobby Weed is an accomplished golf course architect who will leave behind a lasting legacy through his work. But the Weed who's out to change the world, one letter at a time, is Lanier, his 24-year-old non-verbal autistic daughter. “She has a lot of things she wants to achieve,” Bobby says. “She's just a beautiful young lady, inside and out.” Lanier Weed's story, in both video and words, can be found on firepitcollective.com. Lanier's life changed when, at 14, she was introduced to facilitated communications, which involves an autistic person spelling out words on a keyboard or similar device while their hand or wrist is physically supported by another person. Lanier Weed was 14 when she got in front of her first keyboard. Her opening salvo?  “Thank you for releasing my voice.” This podcast, featuring an interview with Bobby Weed and his wife Leslie, is a follow-up to that video feature on the Fire Pit Collective's website and YouTube channel. We hear about where Lanier Weed is now, ten years after typing her first sentence. We hear about the foundation the Weeds founded 20 years ago, HEAL (Helping Enrich Autistic Lives), and its ongoing impact. The Weeds talk about Arnold Palmer, Dean Beman and Jay Monahan, just some of the people who have helped them along the way. Bobby and Leslie also reflect on Pete and Alice Dye and what Players Championship week means to them and their community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew also discussed his amateur days, which included competing in long-drive competions, plus the heart-warming story Ryan French from Firepit Collective first told about his relationship with David and Austin Buncher. https://firepitcollective.com/the-caregiver-andrew-strother/

The story of how the loss of one life is saving countless others. Curing Kids Cancer is an organization that has raised over $23 million with a simple mission: “Find cures for all childhood cancers.” This podcast tells the story of how one family's loss has resulted in the inspirational progress to fund the development of CAR T immunotherapy. You'll meet Grainne and Clay Owen, who, almost 20 years ago, lost their son Killian to leukemia. On the one-year anniversary of his death, they founded an organization that continues to change lives.  “I didn't have the luxury of feeling sorry for myself,” says Grainne. “That would've been way too selfish because I had three other boys that needed me and they saved me from myself.” You'll hear from Dr. Stephan Grupp, of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, who has become a leader in research devoted to developing cell-based and molecularly-targeted therapies to treat leukemia and solid tumors.  “What motivates me is I see what it looks like when it doesn't work,” says Dr. Grupp. “And it's completely unacceptable.” Is this a golf story? Not really. But golf has played a critical role in the cultivating of the funds that are being used to make the difference. Curing Kids Cancer's 17th annual golf tournament will be held on Oct. 3rd at Lakewood Country Club in Dallas and is expected to raise upward of $400,000. PGA Tour player Matt NeSmith will be there and makes a cameo in this podcast as he explains why he and his wife, Abigail, are involved in supporting Curing Kids Cancer.  Lee Corso of ESPN's “College Gameday” also offers his perspective and support.  “It was 15 years ago when I met Clay Owen,” says Corso. “He was making his speech in Atlanta about how he and his wife lost their son Killian to leukemia. I was so touched, I walked up to him on the stage and I grabbed him and I said, ‘How can I help?'” Corso hasn't stopped his support ever since. And there are countless others.  If you are interested in getting involved, please give this story a listen and then go to curingkidscancer.org.   For more visit the The Fire Pit Collective to check out everything we are doing.

Matt Ginella has covered golf for 25 years. For someone who collects once in a lifetime golf experiences more often than you get your oil changed, the stories to show the world are endless. But the content- though it lived in his mind-  was scraped into short segments that couldn't possibly tell the full story. It was after nearly 5 years of frustration that he began working towards owning the content he and his talented team worked so hard on producing. The result was something called The Fire Pit Collective. During the episode we discuss the full story of how it came to be. Including the departure from Golf Channel, a move out to California, and assembling a lethal team of creatives with the goal of providing them freedom to... create. We also discuss how golf has proven that it can be a community asset. Although few and far between, it's an important point to highlight as we move towards scaling these concepts as far as they will go. As always, we appreciate you choosing to spend your time here with us. This time, to discover Matt's tie to the game.

In this episode, Alan talks about what motivated him to write this book, his decades following the PGA Tour, Phil Mickelson's unwillingness to cooperate with the biography, and the complex character Phil has been throughout the years.

Michael Bamberger is the greatest golf writer alive, author of various classic books and winner of innumerable awards, including this year's lifetime achievement citation to be presented by Jack Nicklaus at the Memorial. The intellectual curiosity that informs his writing has led Bamberger to leave corporate media for a scrappy upstart. With typical modesty, Michael did not want a splashy announcement that he was joining the Fire Pit Collective, preferring instead a substantive discussion with Alan Shipnuck about their shared history and Alan's forthcoming Mickelson biography “Phil: The Rip-Roaring (and Unauthorized!) Biography of Golf's Most Colorful Superstar.”                                                                                                                    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
