In this invigorating episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee reflects on his recent life lessons gleaned from participating in a golf tournament for a new high school football team near Fort Worth thanks to Julie Harper. Baylor shares how venturing out into the middle of nowhere led him to a stunning golf course, a beautiful metaphor for the necessity of intentionality and commitment in pursuing one's goals. By using golf as an analogy, he underscores the importance of staying focused on the bigger picture, even when faced with the inconvenience of the road less traveled. Throughout the episode, Baylor emphasizes the value of genuine human interaction in an increasingly digital age. He recounts his experience with his golf team, showcasing how the willingness to show up and perform, no matter what the circumstances, can redefine expectations and earn respect.  Key Takeaways: Intentionality is Key: Pursue your goals with determination, even if they lead you down inconvenient paths. Genuine Interaction Matters: In a world leaning towards digital interactions, personal connections remain invaluable. Show Up and Perform: Surprising others with your abilities can alter perceptions and build respect. Surround Yourself with Supportive People: A strong support system enhances any journey and brightens experiences. Appreciate the Moment: Taking time to recognize and appreciate your current situation can lead to gratitude and fulfillment. Notable Quotes: "All the best things in life are going to be a little out of the way." "AI might be taking over everybody's actual jobs, but there will never be a situation where humans don't need to interact with humans." "Just show up and be great at what you do, and you will earn the respect and adoration of people." "Be a good listener and be available for everybody." "You'll realize how good you have it...doing what you love."

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.

This week on Next on the Tee, I'm thrilled to welcome three great friends to the show. I start things off in Part 1 with a player who I believe is one of the most underrated and underappreciated of the 21st century—Shaun Micheel. Most people remember Shaun for his incredible win at the 2003 PGA Championship at Oak Hill, but his career extends far beyond that. He finished runner-up to Tiger Woods at the 2006 PGA and even defeated Tiger in the first round of the Match Play Championship that same year. Beyond his playing career, Shaun offers incredible insight into the current state of both the professional and college golf scenes. We haven't seen much of him on the Champions Tour recently, and unfortunately, there's a heartbreaking reason why—you'll hear all about it. He also weighs in on the shrinking number of Tour exemptions and the ongoing struggles the PGA Tour faces in marketing its players, given how much they've relied on Tiger Woods for the past 28 years. Then, I'm joined by Top 100 Instructor Tom Stickney, who shares some fantastic playing lessons and short-game tips. In a fun twist, I recently discovered that not only did Shaun and I attend Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, but Tom is an alumnus as well! Tom has earned a Doctorate from The Golf Machine organization, a system that has had a major influence on the game. Shaun is a big believer in it, and Tom breaks down why more golfers should be paying attention to its principles. He also shares his expertise on how to fix a big slice or banana hook off the tee and offers short-game strategies from 100 yards in. It's a jam-packed episode with great stories, insights, and tips. Thank you so much for pressing play!
