We're back this week with a fresh one, and Jake Stoutland delivers an outstanding guest appearance as he joins us to get into some golf talk and such. The episode begins after our ~10-minute opening with the two of us, and then we roll it into Jake.We open up the discussions with Jake giving us a look at his background. As an avid golfer, he wasn't necessarily in the golf space until one day he realized he had a knack for knowing stories that pertained to golf. Because of this, his storytelling social media handle was born. The conversation explores various themes, including the importance of community in golf, storytelling, and unique experiences offered by elite clubs. We highlight the golf in the Northeast and Long Island area. It's true that a golf experience at a club is more important than the score you shoot, agree? We hear a sick story about the creation of Sand Hills Golf Club in Nebraska that few may know. We turn the page and get into some Masters talk and what it was like seeing Rory win the Green Jacket.

Golf carts don't really don't cut it for Daniel. Too slow, and not enough torque. But, the man knows how to get it around the track on weekends. Daniel Dye is here this week to chop it up a bit about his early career in racing and his low-key love for golf.We get into some fast talk out the gate while hearing the story of his dad owning Roberto Clemente's car that he drove to the airport before the plane crash.

We think people who aren't into golf don't necessarily understand the grueling nature of a Member-Guest tournament. To make the shoot out is one goal, but to win it all ties in luck and straight puke-driven guts. That's what happened to Mr. Pepe and Mr. Katzeff in the recent Pelican Golf Club Member-Guest. We open up and give Pep a big congrats and hear the story from him.We revisit the recent Pine Needles Invitational that took place a few weeks ago with none of us making the cut..again. To twist it up a bit, we phone a friend and request Brandon Katzeff join in to tell his side of the story since he won the Member-Guest after 6 months of joining the club. What does that look like from a club perspective? We touch on the PGA Tour and the first ‘non' major of the year kicking off this weekend: The Players. Who you got? We round out the episode with some more banter and fun talks. Tune in, share, listen, and chase spring (and golf) with us.

This week's episode is just a start to the New Year. We have a lot of good talk revolving around golf and the holiday season. We debate when is too early in the year to take a golf trip or when is it too late? We just got back from a quick trip to the Sunshine State where we pegged it up for 3 days and got into some talks around that. This light hearted banter episode brings us back to the roots of this show and its fitting for the first drop of the year. We dive into the state of the PGA Tour and other talks surrounding golf and sports in general. We finish this off with a Birdie Count challenge that runs the full year.

We're ending the year on a bang. And we can't thank you enough for the support we've had this year. Now, looking ahead to 2025, we can't wait to keep bringing some good episodes. But for now, we're joined by two long-lost friends. For context, Sez works for FootJoy, and Sully (Ryan Sullivan) plays at the Pro level and is a Monday Q junkie. We felt it was good to have the boys on and join us on what would typically be our ‘banter' session. But today, it's four ball (or 8). We break open the episode and get right into it with some background on what these two do. Sully can't keep himself off the golf course, and Sez is just looking for another Member-Guest to get in on. We hear some stories about the two of them and their golfing addiction, which naturally pairs well with us!Sully tells us a story of his time playing with Donald Trump. It's a funny story and warrants a listen...other than the fact he lost the autographed scorecard from DJT himself. Sez breaks open with a story of caddying for Michael Jordan. We chop it up a bit and really have no purpose for this episode other than for a good time and some good laughs. We hope you tune in, listen, share, or whatever your heart desires. We look forward to bringing you some more episodes in 2025! Key Links:Visit redvanly.com for great golf apparel now repped by Chasin' Birdies.

Another episode, another cool story. Josh Booty joins us today on Chasin' Birdies. Josh has had quite the life and has experienced many things that most of us won't experience like playing in the MLB and NFL. We open up the episode and dive into Josh's past career. Growing up in Louisiana allowed him to play football and baseball. Playing college football at LSU helped him get into position to win. His baseball career took off and landed him in the first round of the 1994 MLB Draft. Soon thereafter, after serving some time away, he came back and, this time, took a shot as a QB in the NFL. One thing that we have in common with Josh is our golf addiction. We turn the talk over and dive into some golf talk. Josh regularly plays in Nashville with John Daly and some other past guests of the show. As an Entrepreneur, Josh stays chasin'. Josh opens up about his new gaming company he is about to launch that changes the way betting is done. The story is interesting, to say the least.We end the episode with our standard Tap-In segment, where Josh is asked questions that demand his quick response.

We're back this week for an episode with your two favorite podcast hosts. No guest this week on Chasin' Birdies, but that's ok; we will keep you entertained. We have a lot to cover since our last episode drop. We open up the episode with a lot of LIV Golf talk. Bash played in the Pro-AM at the LIV tournament at The Greenbrier. We talked about what that experience was like from start to finish. He was paired up with Peter Uihlein and Scott Vincent. He talks about what the pairings party was like and who showed up. A very interesting story takes place where he was mistakenly thought to be Abraham Ancer. We navigate the episode over to some fun banter, and Pepe explains his recent golf adventures. Playing in his 4th Member-Guest of 2023, he comes up short again and gets waxed by some people with too many dots on their cards. Pepe tells us he spent some time in Nashville recently playing at Troubadour, but we can't get him to tell us who he played with. We have to imagine, though, that it was someone famous in the country music scene.We turn the episode over to some current-day golf talk and end it with no Tap-In segment! We will be coming back in two weeks with a new guest for your listening pleasure, but for now, we hope you enjoyed this light-hearted, humorous episode of Chasin' Birdies!

In a rapidly changing geopolitical environment, alliances are changing fast. The US, Russia, and China are using their influence to rally support from previously neutral countries. Increasingly, nations -- especially developing nations -- are forced to pick a side. Is non-alignment possible in an increasingly polarized world? Who are the fence sitters, and how long can they hedge their bets? The Altamar hosts are joined by Matias Spektor, founder and professor at the School of International Relations at Fundacao Getulio Vargas. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic examines the history of the Non-Aligned Movement.   ----- Produced by Simpler Media
