Take Ownership of Your Swing. Now Repeat It! with Tony Manzoni (RIP)

943: Matt Ginella, TV personality from The Golf Channel and The FirePit Collective, discusses his obsession with L.A.B. Golf and his journey to uncover the story behind the company. Matt's interest in L.A.B. Golf was sparked when he witnessed Lucas Glover's success with the putter. He explains how his interviews with Sam and Bill Presse, the inventor of The Revealer, revealed the fascinating history of L.A.B. Golf. Matt also discusses the influence of Vaughn Taylor, Kelly Slater, and Adam Scott in the L.A.B. Golf story. The podcast series is described as an audio book, with each episode weaving together multiple voices to create a compelling narrative arc. This conversation covers a range of topics, including the importance of reporting and authenticity in broadcasting, Kelly Slater's influence on golf, the success of L.A.B. Golf and the importance of tour recognition, the marketing of golf putters and the concept of “letting go of control to gain control”, the transformation of Lucas Glover and the power of never giving up. Fred and Matt also get some quick hits on golf courses in Northern Ireland that will be played on the Golf Smarter Royal Adventure in July. TakeawaysMatt Ginella's obsession with L.A.B.

Stop Topping The Ball....FOREVER! with Tony Manzoni (RIP)

942 Summary Dr. Bob Jones IV returns to discuss the history of golf in Atlanta and the impact of prominent golfers and philanthropists in the city. The conversation then shifts to the legacy of Bobby Jones and situating Jones in his historical context and the intersections between history, athletics, and psychology in understanding his impact. Jones achieved early success in golf, breaking records with hickory shafted clubs and low-compression balls. The conversation also covers the formation of Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament. Jones faced a health crisis after World War II, but bore his illness with grace and dignity.TakeawaysAtlanta has a rich history of golf, with prominent golfers and philanthropists contributing to the sport and the community.Amateur golf was highly regarded before the rise of professional golf, and Bobby Jones was a key figure in this era.Arnold Palmer and the advent of television brought significant changes to the sport, increasing its popularity and commercialization.Creating a curriculum on Bobby Jones would require situating him in his historical context and exploring the intersections between history, athletics, and psychology.***Summary was AI generated from riverside.fm, our recording platform.This is an invitation for you to join host Fred Greene and other Golf Smarter listeners for a once in a lifetime Golf Smarter Royal Adventure to Northern Ireland!
