#GolfLifeAB

Leah chats with Murray McCourt about his new book Outside the Tee Box, and we meet Junior Golfers of the Month: Kali & Kohen Yeske.

Leah gives an update on the Alberta's Favourite Hole Bracket which is about to enter the Final Four, with a reminder of it being the last week before the early bird sale ends with the Alberta Golf Tour. Junior Golfers of the Month Carla van Remmen and Charlie Gillespie join the podcast, and Leah also chats with Brendan Stasiewich from the PGA of Canada about the changes this year to the RBC PGA Scramble that you're going to want to know about!

Leah celebrates International Women's Day with some amazing ladies in the Alberta golf space! First up, a quick chat with Blakely and Sonja from the new podcast Club Twirls With The Girls (give it a listen!). We go over ways that golf can work into the lives of busy moms (and all parents). Then, we move on to the Junior Female Golfer of the Month: Tessa Ion. Next, we celebrate a National Award with local pro Kim Valleau from The Winston Golf Club, hearing about how she got started in the game, how to make golf more enjoyable, and how pro's are there to help you with everything from apparel to equipment and lessons. We finish off the pod with another excerpt from our chat with Blakely and Sonja about a very important hot topic in golf, you can't miss it. 

On today’s show, we’ll be recognizing a Junior of the Month - Tate Bruggeman. We also chat with Paul, Wade, and Ryan from Village Sports / Forge Golf and we reveal a fun fact about Ryan. Then we have Chris and Sam from the PGA of Alberta board to chat with us about the first consumer Golf Show happening in Calgary in FOUR years!

Leah talks about her year's absence and what that means for GolfLifeAB moving forward. We start a brand new segment for Junior Golfers of the Month, featuring Christian Flick and Sydney Bisgrove. Then, Leah talks to Ryan Cater from Edge School about the importance of Athletics, Academics, and Character, and what one mistake could mean for your future. We end the pod chatting with Jeremy Maher from Modern Golf about the importance of fitting, and how you can get one at Modern Golf. 

Need help navigating the junior golf scene? We've got you! Leah talks to Trent Matson of the Maple Leaf Junior Tour (MJT) and John Deneer of Alberta Golf, and the McLennan Ross Junior Tour to give you all the deets on how you can introduce your child to competitive golf. What are the main options out there, and the differences between the two.

Leah chats with Edmonton's own Christina Lecuyer, 2-time Big Break star, about her start in golf, and what she's doing now. Listen to what she had to say about Kerry Ketter, Darrell McDonald, Al Prokop, and her time at The Derrick Club and Blackhawk. 

Leah chats with Calgary’s Jesse Galvon about growing up in Alberta, his time spent as an elite junior golfer and what he did to get recruited to NCAA Div I School USF, where his path ended up going rather than the PGA Tour, the entrepreneurial grind, and we hear about all the amazing things he’s been up to with G-Tech Heated Apparel including the most recent Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits.

Leah catches up with Luke Elvy, broadcaster and co-owner of CanGOLF. They discuss his beginnings in broadcasting, his most memorable moment in golf, and how his path brought him to opening a unique indoor golf facility in the heart of the Bow Valley. 

Leah catches up with Katy Rutherford before she makes her 2nd pro appearance in the Mackenzie Tour Stop, the 2021 ATB Financial Classic at Country Hills Golf Club this coming up weekend.
