Along with her experience with Oregon golf, Barb has also held a variety of roles within the golf world including VP of Tournament operations for the LPGA and was one of the first women to be invited to officiate the 4 majors.  Mike and Donovan ask her about this and much more in this fun and informative interview.

We made it to episode 10! Double digits baby! 
In this episode we talk to Justin Ratte, the Program Director at First Tee Greater Portland. Justin fills the guys in on all the great things that First Tee is doing to grow great people and golfers. Listen in to learn about First Tee's mission, ways you can get involved and what First Tee can do for kids. Mike and Donovan were so impressed and they think First Tee is a program that everyone, golfers and non-golfers alike, should know about! Enjoy learning all about First Tee!

"It was a garbage hole in one", Mike exclaimed while describing a good friends hole in one. Not surprisingly, offense was taken and wrongs needed to be made right. So in episode 9, Mike and Donovan invite their good buddy Big E onto the show to defend his hole in one and put Mike and Donovan back in their place. Was it really a garbage ace or are Mike and D just jealous? You decide!
Also, Donovan presents the intriguing idea of a hole in one pact. Traditionally, the ace buys the post round drinks, but can we take that idea one step farther? The boys, including Big E share their ideas for how they will celebrate their hole in one with their playing parters. Is Mike's idea too extreme?
Enjoy our episode about the elusive ace! #noputterneeded

In episode 8 Mike reveals his new driver! Which driver did he decide on and how did he make his decision?  Also, a jealous Donovan talks about which driver he fancies and how he hopes to get his hands on one. 
Don't miss Donovan's conclusion on drivers and the importance of the process Mike and Donovan took to narrow down their choices..
The boys also talk about their latest round out at Heron Lakes golf course in Portland, Oregon. Hear about Mike's collapse, Donovan's complaints and the good and bad of a soggy round in the PNW.

The one where the guys head to Fiddlers Green golf facility to demo new 2021 drivers in the hunt for a new addition to the bag.  In this episode, we recap our great experience demoing clubs with Tyler, from Fiddlers Green, as our guide.  What a great dude!  Once we finished our session, Tyler was kind enough to sit down and walk through the process as well as tell us a little bit about his golf journey (including a hole in one at 11!).  Tune in to find out if this experience led to new clubs in the bag.  Also, if you are in the area, go to Fiddlers Green for a fitting and ask for Tyler, phenomenal experience!

I'm sure most of you are just like Donovan and Mike. When the weather turns, the clubs go away in the garage, and they don't come back until the sun comes backs. This year,   Donovan and Mike decide to do things a little differently. Listen in to hear how they plan to keep their games sharp so they are ready to attack some pins come spring. 
Also tune in to hear about Donovan's biggest regret,  Mike becoming his parents and Donovan cheating death. So much to talk about in episode 5 of Golf Cart Conversations.
