On this episode of the Club + Resort Talks podcast, Rob Thomas speaks with Robin Shelton, PGA Master Professional and General Manager of Newport Beach Country Club, and Bianca Gillett, the club's Director of Fitness and Recreation. The trio discuss the celebrated club's newest edition—an outdoor fitness center called “The Cove.” Gillett shares the space's unique features and amenities, how it integrates with the existing facilities at Newport Beach Country Club, and what types of fitness programs and classes will be offered. Shelton touches upon construction costs, the expected return on investment, and how “The Cove” will contribute to the club's member retention rates. Rob and Senior Editor Phil Keren opened the podcast by talking about Phil's recent visit to Glenmoor Country Club in Canton, Ohio to cover the Northern Ohio PGA HOPE Cup. PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is a program that provides free golf lessons to veterans and active duty military service members. In the Glenmoor event, 15 teams, each consisting of four veterans and a PGA Professional, competed in a 9-hole scramble. The winning team was led by PGA Professional Kevin Sullivan and consisted of veterans Tom Brown, Rob Sutton, Jason Wallingford, and Jim Morrison. Special guests at the event were former Ohio State University Head Football Coach Jim Tressel and PGA Professional and TV host Jimmy Hanlin. Phil and Rob also discussed an enhancement project happening at Brown Deer Park Golf Course in Milwaukee, Wis. Money from the American Rescue Plan Act is being used to fund the construction of a new practice facility that will include a 23,500-sq.-ft. putting green, a 1,500-sq.-ft. practice bunker, and 5,300 sq. ft. of asphalt cart paths. The facility will be located just west of the current driving range near the clubhouse. The project will replace a small practice bunker and a concrete pad from previous years with the new putting green and practice bunker. The existing putting green between the clubhouse and the driving range will remain. Rob and Phil also highlighted an interesting discovery made by golf course workers at Omni Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Va. The resort features two classic courses, one being the Old Course, established in 1892 and lined with mature oaks and maples. Throughout the year, workers clear dead and fallen trees, which they chop into firewood for the resort. This routine task took an unexpected turn when a thick piece of oak was split open, revealing two golf balls embedded in the wood. While both balls were encrusted with dirt and sap, one exhibited distinctive characteristics of an antique golf ball, including a square dimple pattern that was popular around a century ago. Further examination by an expert will be needed to learn more. Victoria Nenno, Senior Historian at the USGA Golf Museum and Library, suggested the diamond or mesh (square) pattern most likely dates between 1910 and 1930, indicating it is probably a rubber-core ball.

Joe’s website is https://www.joehallettgolf.com/ Learn more about PerfectMotion app for iOS or Android at https://perfectmotion.io/ This week on Golf Smarter Mulligans episode 96 we open our scrap book to 2009, when the Presidents Cup was held at Harding Park in San Francisco. The next day, Golf Smarter listeners drove North across the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County (home of host Fred Greene) to play 18 holes at Peacock Gap Golf Course. After our round, we gathered for dinner and a live conversation between listeners and our special guest, Jesse Ortiz of Bobby Jones Golf. This was just around the same time the USGA made their ruling on wedge grooves that was the first step to controversial bifurcation (different rules for the Tour Pros and amateurs). Next week, tune in to hear Fred’s recordings from the sounds of play at that President’s Cup event in San Francisco. This episode was #200 of Golf Smarter from October 2009. We don’t replay every Golf Smarter episode for Golf Smarter Mulligans because, in this case, the previous two episodes were discussing technology and websites that are no longer relevant or available.

Golf Should Be FunThe number one reason kids don't play golf: it isn't fun. When I get on the course I cannot count how many times I round number 18 frustrated. I believed I should have shot a better score. I knew I could have hit longer drives and hit more fairways. That's fine. How can we take that same game and make it more enjoyable when teaching our kids? One way is to eliminate what is defeating about golf. At least for your kids. This episode highlights similar ways to make golf fun for kids, we had similar talks in our interview with https://golferswhodadpodcast.captivate.fm/episode/e17-george-bryan-iv-bryan-bros-golf-how-we-built-150k-followers-doing-what-we-love (George Bryan IV (Episode 17). ) We also recommend this episode with https://birdiedads.com/how-parents-influence-their-child-with-andrew-jensen-ep-28/ (Andrew Jensen, How Parents Influence Their Child).

Welcome to The Knackered Golfist Podcast, Tim Hovancsek PGA Master Professional is someone who has been an integral part of Sacramento California area golf for over 30 years. Originally from Cleveland Ohio, Tim Hovancsek started teaching and instructing golf in the Phoenix Arizona area and then later in the Sacramento California area. I first met Tim at the Haggin Oaks Golf Course in Sacramento California as a golf instructor back in 1990 and is my first and only golf coach. Since I met him he was an integral part of bringing the LPGA to the Sacramento California area market every year in early April the week after the Dinah Shore from 1996 to 2008. The tournament was called the Twelve Bridges LPGA Classic, Longs Drugs Challenge, and the CVS Pharmacy LPGA Challenge. Tim was a key figure in starting this tournament back in 1996 at the Twelve Bridges Golf Club in Lincoln California. Since then he has had a successful tenure as head golf coach at Sierra College in Rocklin California and later at William Jessup University in Rocklin California. Coaching at William Jessup University yielded being selected as NAIA Men's Golf Coach of the Year in 2017, also receiving NAIA All-Academic Team status, and finishing 7th place at the 2017 NAIA National Men's Golf Championship. Back in 2010, Tim went through a series of health challenges where he had two near death experiences. These experiences are explained in detail in his book called "Heaven's Nice, Been There Twice". His book was released back in June of 2020 and can be purchased through Amazon.com. He is Christian and loves to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Today, he is retired and really is excited about volunteering for "The Patriot All-America Invitational" that is from December 27th to December 31st, 2020 at The Wigwam Golf Resort in Litchfield Park Arizona. I really think this episode is amazing and I am so thankful to Tim Hovancsek for allowing me the time to do this interview. Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist.

He talks about the days at Sierra College, the grind of being at a two-year school, the accomplishments they achieved and getting the job from being at Seven Bridges GC.We discuss the time at William Jessup, how he landed the position and not getting it the first time, he applied. The conversation then goes into his TWO near death experiences, a little about them, and how this became the reason for the book- Heaven's Nice Been There Twice.Tim openly discusses being dead for 18 minutes! How he was brought back, and who he had a conversation with before coming back to life. See links to get your copy!
