Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 518 - Michigan's Ryan Lenahan Earns PGA Championship Spot | Inside the Journey, Pressure, and Purpose

Michigan golf has a story to celebrate—and it's one built on grit, sacrifice, and belief.

In this episode of Fore Golfers, host Bill Hobson from Michigan Golf Live shines a spotlight on PGA Professional Ryan Lenahan of Walnut Creek Country Club, fresh off an incredible performance at the PGA Professional Championship that secured his place in the PGA Championship.

This conversation dives into the realities most golf fans never see. Lenahan breaks down the pressure of competing at Bandon Dunes in brutal wind conditions, the razor-thin margin between missing the cut and chasing a dream, and the mindset required to perform when everything is on the line. From grinding through Michigan winters to sneaking in last-minute competitive reps, his journey is a masterclass in perseverance.

You'll also hear about:

• The emotional moment that went viral after he qualified
• The challenge of balancing full-time teaching with elite competition
• What it really means to represent Michigan on a national stage
• His perspective on competing alongside the world's best—including admiration for Scottie Scheffler
• How faith, family, and support systems fuel success under pressure

Lenahan's story is more than a golf achievement—it's a powerful reminder that preparation meets opportunity in the most unexpected ways.

As he prepares for another major championship appearance, one thing is clear: Michigan golf is well represented.

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 516 - The LIV GOLF BOMBSHELL with Ryan French of Monday Q Info

The future of LIV Golf may be hanging in the balance—and this conversation pulls back the curtain on why.

In this episode of Fore Golfers Network, Bill Hobson welcomes Ryan French, founder of Monday Q Info, for a revealing discussion on the reporting that has shaken the golf world. Drawing from multiple sources and extensive behind-the-scenes conversations, Ryan explains why he believes LIV Golf, as we currently know it, may not survive without major structural change.

At the center of the discussion is a growing concern over funding. With signs pointing toward the Public Investment Fund (PIF) pulling back from continued financial support, questions are emerging about sustainability, leadership decisions, and long-term viability. The conversation explores how massive losses, shifting priorities, and patience wearing thin could force a dramatic reset for the league.

Bill and Ryan also examine LIV's struggle to gain traction in the American market, contrasting it with its success internationally. Marketing challenges, leadership messaging, and public perception all play a role in why the league has yet to truly resonate with U.S. audiences.

Beyond the business side, the episode dives into communication breakdowns between LIV leadership and its players, raising concerns about trust, transparency, and organizational stability. There's also discussion about the ripple effects across the golf ecosystem—from venues and vendors to employees whose livelihoods depend on these events.

While the future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: significant change is coming. Whether LIV Golf evolves, is acquired, or fades away, this conversation provides critical insight into one of the most important stories in the sport today.

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 515 - The Truth About Golf Ball Fitting with Dean Snell from Snell Golf.

Most golfers are choosing the wrong golf ball—and it's costing them strokes.

In this converaation, we break down the new Snell PR3 and PR4 golf balls and explain why the way you've been choosing your ball might be completely backwards.

Here's the truth: you should NOT be picking your golf ball based on your driver.

Instead, the real differences in performance show up from 150 yards and in—where scoring actually happens. That's exactly what Dean Snell (the mind behind some of the biggest golf ball innovations in the game) explains in this conversation.

Listen, learn, and then give Snell Golf balls a try!
