This episode wraps up the summer Neighboring State Project where I talk to some of the top golfers in VT and ME. I speak with Hailey Katona who recently captured the Vermont state am title. Hailey grew up in Canada and started playing and competing at a young age. We talk about some of her big wins in Canada, her collegiate career and her golf plans once she graduates. 

Hailey was candid about the nerves she felt during the state am and how she manage her nerves. I really appreciated what she shared. 

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy my conversation with Hailey.

The Neighboring State Project continues. This episode features Erin Holmes who just captured her first Maine state am title. 

We talk about her mindset going into the tournament and for the final round when she had a big lead.

I talked with Erin about her early years in golf and her time playing golf at Bucknell. 

She talks about what is in her bag and why she went back to her high school putter.

Erin was a lot of fun to talk with and I hope you enjoy the conversation.

(Neighboring State Series Ep. 1) In this episode, we talk with one of the top golfers in Vermont, Bryson Richards, who just won his second Vermont state am title. Most states are holding their state am titles this month and I thought it would be interesting to check in on the action in some of our neighboring states and meet some of their top golfers.

This is Bryson’s second state am title. We talk about the tournament and how we felt throughout it. We also discuss his time on the URI golf team and his golf plans when he leaves college.

Thanks for listening and sharing the show with your friends.

Happy US Open week. I am all in on Rickie Fowler.

This episode features Mark Stevens and Joe Bowker who teamed up earlier this week and won the NHGA 4 ball championship at Owl's Nest. (I also played in the event but was never a threat!). I talk with Mark and Joe about their earliest golf memories and how quickly they both got addicted to the game. We discuss their win this week, how they approached the event and some strategy on a couple of the holes.

Thanks as always for listening and sharing this with your friends. Enjoy the show.

We discuss his play over the weekend and the importance of smart target selection. We also talk about what is in his bag and how dominant his Bow High School golf team was. Jeremy did well in last fall's Mid-Am and I think we will be seeing his name more and more on the leaderboard this year.
