Come Out And Play

Time for a chat with the #1 ranked Long Driver in the world. Kyle Berkshire spoke with host Hugh Burrill about how he develops that record-breaking ball speed and turns it into 400-plus yard drives and if the PGA Tour is in his future plans.

She can drive a golf ball as very few people can. Irene Crowchild is a two-time Canadian long-drive champion. Raised in the Tsuut'ina Nation near Calgary, Irene’s journey to the top of her sport is one filled with tears*, tragedy and, ultimately, triumph. 

Golf Town’s Hugh Burrill spoke with Irene in a 2022 interview about the challenges of finding her passion for golf, how a wrong-handed set of clubs almost ended her career before it began and how it felt to win a National Long Drive Championship … and then another one. 

*Disclaimer: During this episode, Irene speaks about her very difficult times battling with addiction, her mental health during these times and her recovery process.*

Former NHL’er turned TSN broadcaster Jeff O’Neill joins Hugh Burrill on this episode of the Come Out and Play Podcast presented by Golf Town. O-Dog recounts how he took a golf ball to the face during TradeCentre, how he injured Gary Roberts on the course, and we find out if he ever got his stolen clubs back.

A very special episode of the Come Out and Play Podcast as host Hugh Burrill catches up with Golf Town Ambassador and 2003 Masters Champion Mike Weir! Mike looks back to that winning moment and recaps his emotions when he became the first Canadian to put on the green jacket.

One of the fiercest competitors in NHL history, Doug Gilmour battled with the best of them throughout his career, but his play in the hockey hotbed of Toronto cemented “Killer” as one of greatest Maple Leafs of all time.  

Golf Town’s Hugh Burrill spoke with Doug in 2022 about his other passion, golf. How much does Michael Jordan owe Doug from a golf bet years ago? Who was the best golfing teammate he ever had? And does that famous “non-call” come up when he and former referee Kerry Fraser play a charity tournament? 

Most of us come to a career crossroads at one time or another. Play it safe, or take a chance? Already on a path to a promising career as an engineer, Evanka Osmak decided to tee it up again and start a life in Sports Broadcasting. We’re glad she did.

Golf Town’s Hugh Burrill caught up with Evanka back in 2022, and she spoke about the pivotal moment when she made the choice to follow her dream. He also asked her to describe her golf style (you’ll be surprised), who would be in her dream golf foursome (you’ll be shocked!), and more!

As Canada’s preeminent golf analyst, Bob Weeks has had a front-row seat to some of the most iconic moments in Canadian golf history. From Mike Weir’s Masters win to Brooke Henderson’s victory on home soil, Bob has been there.

In a wide-ranging discussion recorded in 2022, Golf Town’s Hugh Burrill finds out how a problem with a bridge sparked Weeks’ life-long love affair with golf, how recent events have changed the game and who would be included in Bob’s dream golf foursome.

Start dreaming of that perfect round.
