Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!Hello again fellow Golfists,Got to pontificate on my way to work on the Thursday morning before the 2025 Players Championship.  This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Calvin Peete winning the 1985 Players Championship.  It has been great to hear recent podcast episodes that really open the book on Calvin Peete's dominance on the PGA Tour in the 1970's and 1980's.  No Laying Up with Kevin Van Valkenburg and The Society of Golf History Enthusiast's Conor T Lewis interviewed Gordon Hobson after the book on Calvin Peete's life was published back in 2024.  The book is called "Calvin Peete: Golf's Forgotten Star" by Gordon Hobson.  I really want to hear it on audiobook and I hope to soon. I also share an update on my work with my Honma forged blades that I still have not quite finished yet.  I also bought a grip to have a Scottie Scheffler club in my bag in order to get back to the fundamentals when practicing.  I also think that The Player's Championship should be a legitimate major championship but when should it be?Thanks so much for listening.  God Bless You and Have a great week!  Support the show#theknackeredgolfistpodcast@theknackeredgolfistCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfistThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookOughton's Golf Repairhttps://oughtonsgolf.com/#myscorecardThank a Veteran Today!!https://www.pgareach.org/services/militaryThe Observant Ear Radio Network GOD Bless You!!

Mumm discusses the seismic news and how he views it as both a fan and filmmaker; having cameras rolling at both a players' home and the RBC Canadian Open when the announcement was made; not being given advance warning; how this will change the story arc; the impact of “Drive To Survive” on his show; the number of hours they have shot for the show; how potential episodes will exist for Season 2; what a Season 3 might look like and more.

We can all see the physical toll that athletes take upon their bodies. What we might not be as aware of, is the mental and emotional stress that many of them are subject to as well. Especially after retiring. So how do these athletes find ways to manage that sort of trauma? In some cases, the unlikely answer is psychedelics. One underground community of athletes journeyed to Jamaica on a retreat to take psilocybin aka “magic mushrooms,” to help them heal, and rediscover themselves. A journey to let go of the pain. So today, Kevin Van Valkenburg takes us inside a seldom glimpsed world…to shed some light on an unusual, but intriguing healing practice. Learn more about your ad choices.
