Podcasts about golf courses

We finally arrive at the crescendo of our inaugural Australian Top 50 Golf Course rankings. After pulling up stumps during the late night recording of the previous episode, we resume the count at number 11 and work steadily to number 1.  Scott's recording on the road on summer holidays, hot spotting the laptop from his phone, and the audio is somehow better than Matt's (who hosted). The Top 10 is sure to contain a few points for spirited discussion, particularly among members of the Clubs who have a course in the upper echelon. We talk in depth about each of the top 11 courses - what we like, why it ranked so highly, and what potentially holds it back from achieving a higher ranking, with respect to peer courses. Visit our website (www.australiangolfpassport.com) for more on the rankings, and a catalogue of all the courses from 1 to 25 in numerical order, followed by the 26-35 bracket, and the 36-50 bracket. Thank you again to all our Top 50 Australian course ranking panellists who devoted their time, effort and expertise into making the rankings what they are. We look forward to getting listener thoughts on what they feel is right and wrong. Huge thanks again to Assoc Prof Davis McCarthy who guided us through the whole statistical process. We couldn't have done it without him. We plan on chatting with Davis at some stage in '26 during an episode looking at rankings and listener questions. As mentioned within the episode – No Laying Up visited King Island during their second Tourist Sauce expedition to Australia – their round over Cape Wickham and more can be seen here - https://youtu.be/UDRV_LUpxRs?si=76xHUVrCqYodapKN We put Australian Golf Passport podcast out with supportfrom Matt Burns and his team at Angus And Grace Go Golfing.

PGA Tour veteran Jay Delsing is a nationally syndicated host of Golf with Jay Delsing, a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, and author of You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You: An Unforgettable Memoir of Golf, Grit, and a Blue-Collar Kid on the PGA Tour. From a modest, sports-obsessed upbringing in St. Louis to earning his PGA Tour card and building a hospitality business around pro-ams, Jay brings rare behind-the-scenes stories and practical wisdom on relationships, mindset, and money.​ On this episode we talk about: How a blue-collar kid from St. Louis earned a scholarship to UCLA and eventually a PGA Tour card Why caddying as a teenager became Jay's masterclass in soft skills, networking, and dealing with high achievers Wild stories from the course with Sean Connery, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus How Jay turned pro-am rounds into a multi-decade hospitality and entertainment business using simple follow-up tactics The mindset, gratitude practices, and “soft skills” he believes will separate winners in the next generation of business Top 3 Takeaways Deep competence in anything (golf, guitar, business, whatever) combined with soft skills and respect will open doors you can't predict. Small, “old school” touches like handwritten notes, genuine gratitude, and being great at the bottom rung of the ladder still massively differentiate you. You get more of whatever you focus on—shifting from excuses and victimhood to ownership and opportunity is a non‑negotiable money and life skill. Notable Quotes “You get what you think the most about.” “Write handwritten notes to people. Nobody does that now—and that's exactly why it works.” “You don't have to be good at golf, just don't be an ass. People do business with people they enjoy being around.” Connect with Jay Delsing: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jay-delsing-83142914​ Twitter/X: https://x.com/JayDelsing​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaydelsinggolf​ Other: https://jaydelsinggolf.com​ ✖️✖️✖️✖️

Y'all, my guest today, Toni Becker is absolutely incredible.Toni lives in South Africa and is a content creator with twelve years sober. Toni was plagued by disordered eating years before her addictions to meth and alcohol began. Years of partying led to homelessness, meth psychosis and severe illness and kidney failure. In sobriety, Toni was still struggling with disordered eating. Treatment in sobriety finally helped her with that struggle. Later in sobriety, she developed facial dysmorphia induced by social media expectations and filters. Talking about these issues in sobriety was fascinating and I learned so much from Toni!Connect with Toni on ⁠Instagram⁠DM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

We often say that "golf is a microcosm of life," but in this episode of the Imagen Golf Podcast, that phrase takes on a profound new meaning. Daniel sits down with Tim Thrasher, the Superintendent of the Cedar Creek Corrections Center in Washington State, to discuss one of the most unique and impactful programs in the country: The Cedar Creek Golf Club.This isn't just a story about hitting balls; it is a deep dive into how the specific mechanics and ethics of golf are being used to rehabilitate inmates and prepare them for re-entry into society.In this episode, we cover:The "Self-Policing" Philosophy: For the average golfer, calling a penalty on yourself when the ball moves an inch in the rough is a test of character. Tim explains how this exact principle—integrity when no one is watching—is used to teach accountability to men who have historically struggled with following society's rules.From Softball Fields to Fairways: Learn the fascinating logistics of how a golf program operates inside a minimum-security perimeter. Tim details the humble beginnings using mats, foam balls, and a retrofitted softball field, and how this stripped-down version of the game highlights the purity of the sport.Turf Management & Career Skills: Beyond the swing, the program introduces inmates to the agronomy of golf. We discuss how learning to care for the "course" provides vocational skills in landscaping and turf management that translate to real jobs post-release.The Graduation Round: Tim shares the emotional journey of taking qualified inmates outside the wire to play The Home Course. We explore the sensory overload of that experience—the smell of fresh cut grass, the expanse of a real fairway—and how it serves as a powerful metaphor for the freedom they are working toward.Why You Should Listen: If you love the game for its mental challenges, its demand for patience, and its code of honor, this episode validates everything you believe about golf. It proves that the lessons we learn on the tee box—patience, emotional control, and honesty—are powerful enough to change the trajectory of a human life.

In this episode, we sit down with Cody Retlich, founder of Midwest Aerial Productions, to explore how drone cinematography is reshaping the way we experience golf.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake has been in the spotlight recently following developments related to his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's controversial memoir. According to multiple entertainment outlets including RadarOnline, Timberlake has come to Spears' defense after Federline made serious accusations against her in his book "You Thought You Knew." Sources close to the NSYNC alum reveal he views Federline's revelations as despicable, particularly given that Spears is currently at a vulnerable point in her life. An insider told RadarOnline that Timberlake "thinks it's despicable that Kevin's hitting her with all these terrible insults and sleazy revelations about their time together while she's at low ebb." The report indicates Timberlake still maintains a soft spot for Spears despite not being especially close these days, with sources claiming "seeing her suffer makes him sad." This sentiment comes as Federline's memoir has dredged up details about Spears' personal life, including allegations about her parenting and a controversial phone call she made to Timberlake the night before her wedding to Federline.On the professional front, Timberlake continues his entertainment ventures. He recently performed "Mirrors" live at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as part of his concert tour, and he's set to headline the 2025 Lollapalooza South American festivals alongside Olivia Rodrigo and Tool.In business news, Timberlake took a significant financial hit when he sold his hometown Mirimichi Golf Course in Memphis for just five hundred thousand dollars. The course, which he purchased with an investment group in 2007 for eight hundred eighty thousand dollars, required approximately sixteen million dollars in renovations to make it environmentally friendly and aesthetically superior. The course had been recognized by Golfweek as one of the best courses you can play in both 2013 and 2014, but ultimately failed to generate the return on investment Timberlake had anticipated.Musically, 2024 saw the release of his album "Everything I Thought It Was," which featured the single "Selfish" and marked a collaboration with his former NSYNC bandmates and producer Timbaland. The album demonstrated his continued relevance in the music industry nearly two decades into his solo career. His estimated net worth currently stands at one hundred seventy-five million dollars, making him significantly wealthier than his former bandmates.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

   The old adage "stats are for losers" almost applied to the Chiefs against the Colts except for one big, big thing.  The Chiefs won.  If you looked at all the numbers, this should have been a KC blowout as the defense was just spectacular against the best runningback in the NFL.  But it's the same troubles that have plagued this team all year that put the Chiefs in a really tough spot.  Penalties, sloppy turnovers and bad special teams.  Take the win, clean up the rest for the home stretch.    It looks like it actually got tougher to make the playoffs as all three teams at 7-4, in the playoffs, have wins over KC too.  That means the Chiefs are two games back of all of them.    It was a bummer of a college Saturday but nobody had it worse than KSU coach Chris Klieman who just lost it in his post game news conference, literally crying and asking for respect.  Oh my.     Trump wants to fix up Joint Base Andrews including their golf courses.  Does this guy miss anything? Wait until you hear who he's asking for help.   Also, Elon Musk nails it when it comes to our homeless problem in America, the AP is suing Trump over the Gulf of America and one of our sponsors is a very proud dad as his daughter's college volleyball team wins a national title.

Hi All! Some haunted golf courses andA theatre Investigation

Want to get in touch with Mark?

Send us a textSome tee times unlock more than a fairway. They open doors for families fighting through the longest days of their lives. We sat down with Ryan Bush from the Fore Hadley Foundation and our friend Mike of Beautiful Golf Courses to share how a daughter's story became a force for good—funding CDH research, survivor scholarships, and NICU grants—through an annual charity auction that also happens to deliver the most exciting golf itinerary you'll build all year.We walk through Hadley's journey and the reality of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, then map the three pillars Fore Hadley supports: cutting-edge pediatric research across leading centers, college scholarships for survivors who often return to care as nurses and NICU pros, and the Angels in the NICU program that sends rolling grants and holiday care packages nationwide. The heart of the engine is the auction: members and clubs donate rounds, public courses offer select tee times, and golfers bid on access to private clubs, international links, and serious stay-and-plays. Think Old Head in Ireland, Lofoten in Norway, Dismal River in the Sandhills, Dormy Network experiences, and West Coast and Southeast standouts—all curated and amplified to a massive audience.You'll get practical, no-fluff guidance on how to register and bid on Handbid, when the action spikes, and how to sort lots to build a year of golf you'll talk about for a decade. We also spotlight why donating a tee time or hosting an accompanied round is a no-brainer for clubs: tax-deductible support, real social reach, and new fans who return for merch, meals, and more. Along the way, we trade notes on Sand Valley, Bandon Trails, Arizona peak season sticker shock, and why the planning text thread is the best part of any trip.If golf is your love language, this is your moment. Download Handbid, search “Fore Hadley,” set your watchlist, and get your card on file before the opening bell. Bid big, book that dream round, and help families who need it most.

On truwana/Cape Barren Island, off the coast of Tasmania, there is a 9-hole golf course that is almost impossible to get a tee-time at. That's because Marra Wunna Golf Course is by the locals for the locals.

York County secured $5 billion, with plans including converting Brierwood Golf Course into a data center. This effort faces public resistance fueled by fears of higher electricity and water prices.

Marketing your book doesn't have to feel like a second full-time job—or a mysterious game only the loudest voices win. Some of the most successful authors aren't chasing trends or algorithms. They're building momentum by staying true to their roots and the original purpose behind the book. The truth is: marketing isn't about selling—it's about inviting. Inviting readers into a conversation and into the value your book unlocks.
