This week, we are joined by Bert Lamar.  If his name sounds familiar, it may be because he competed against Tony Hawk, was a world snowboarding champion, and ran a snowboard company that became the standard used in the sport.  Bert has been making the transition to golf and now also competes in Ironman competitions because the guy doesn't know how to dabble in anything, he dives in full bore.  This week we discuss Bert's transition between sports, his golf clothing line, Iliac, and his passion for the 80/20 fitness rule that he feels can transform the game of golf.

This week I’m joined by Damian Lopez. Damian has been on the tour for almost 20 seasons and currently is on the bag for Michael Thompson. As a professional caddie, he’s been on the bag for Chez Reavie, Notah Begay III, and Rich’s childhood favorite, Stuart Appleby. In this episode, you’ll hear how Michael and Damian found out they were both Eagle Scouts, his passion for restoring VW’s and his love for small-town Texas.

This week we are joined by Byron Morgan. Byron is the genius behind the custom putter company, Byron Morgan Putters. We chat all about how he got his start making toys, then surfboards, and found his calling in custom putters. To Byron no design or specification is off limits... just ask the custom putter collectors that reach out to him when they get a new idea. I’ll be honest, I had no idea that custom putter collectors even existed. If you wanted to learn more about the custom putter industry, what it’s like moving from California to small-town Georgia or even looking for a business to buy... then this episode is for you. Let’s get started!

This week I’m excited to be chatting with Audrey Leishman. Audrey is the President of the Begin Again Foundation, mom to three amazing kids, and the wife to PGA Tour player Marc Leishman. During our conversation, we talk about the serendipitous way she met Marc, her near-death experience in 2015, and what life is like with Marc at home during the COVID pandemic but also what it’s like balancing life on the road and so much more! Talking to Audrey was such a light during this crazy and sometimes dark time we’ve been in recently. I can’t wait to visit her hometown of Virginia Beach and experience all the great food and attractions she talks about. If you’d like to get a behind the scenes look from one of the most genuine people you could meet, then this episode is for you! Let’s get started...

This week we are joined by Kessler Karain. You’ll know Kessler as Patrick Reed’s caddie, but to be clear we don’t get into the drama surrounding Patrick or his game. Kessler and I had a great conversation that went on for almost 2 hours with his girlfriend, Keith, chiming in and keeping him in check. If you’ve wanted to know his thoughts on why gardening is manly, why you should always stop to save an animal, and what it takes to become a top Caddie without extensive experience then this episode is for you! Let’s get started...

This week on the Golf-ish Podcast, we are joined by Bruce Miller from Golf Pride golf grips. Golf Pride is a household name among professional and recreational golfers and prides itself on not needing or having sponsorships to grow their cult-like following. Bruce gives us inside advice on the differences between professional and recreational golfer grips, some of the newest products on the market, and how Golf Pride partners with club makers like Titleist, Callaway & Ping while on Tour. If you’ve wondered what you need to be thinking about when purchasing grips, how often to regrip, and even how to do your own regripping when you’re stuck at home, then this episode is for you. Let’s get started!

This week we are joined by Michelle Tesori. You probably know her from the glowing recommendations from Paul Tesori & Kourtney Schenk to have her on our podcast. In this raw and honest interview, Michelle shares what it’s like to be married to a PGA Tour caddie, her amazing son, Isaiah, the Tesori Family Foundation and so much more. In this episode, we shed a tear or two, talk about what’s next when Paul goes back on Tour and how her faith in God has helped her find balance in the chaos.  Let’s get started!

This week we are thrilled to have Mark Immelman join us. Mark is a Broadcaster, Author, and Golf Coach. You may know him from his podcast “On the Mark,” his broadcasting with CBS Sports and PGATour.com, or even as Trevor Immelman’s older brother. Mark and I talk about all things golf, what it was like moving from South Africa to Texas, and settling down in Georgia and his impressive feats at Columbus State University. If you want a better look behind the scenes of the PGA Tour, are curious about Mark’s journey around the world, and how he obviously has more hours in the day than anyone I know, then this episode is for you!  Let’s get started!

This week I’m excited to be joined by Francie Kaufman. Francie is the blogger behind Fairway Finds, the VP of Community Outreach for the PGA Tour Wives Association, and is also married to Smylie Kaufman from the PGA Tour. Francie and I talk about growing up in Birmingham, marrying Smylie, and tackling the PGA Tour life travel schedule. If you’ve wanted to learn more about her passions behind Fairway Finds, what the PGA Tour Wives Association does to give back and her goal to get a golden retriever (which recently happened!) then this episode is for you.  Let’s get started!
