Group Golf Therapy

Anthony Alabi says that everything in his life can be fixed with work. He competed at football's highest level, he stars as Moz in the Netflix original series, Family Reunion, and is now eyeing a path to becoming an executive producer. He's also completely golf obsessed. Anthony shares that the locker room culture in the NFL didn't jive with the creative, vulnerable kid inside of him, and his new career as an actor was always his ultimate game plan.

Two weeks ago, Connor took the trip of a lifetime: a pilgrimage to golf's pantheon, Augusta National, for the 2022 Masters. He responds to some hard-hitting listener questions about the experience: favorite smells, sandwich rankings, painted grass, and much more. Connor went to Augusta as a kid, brought along by a father figure in his life—something we unpack in the show. 

But first! Bradford gives us the rundown of his own experience with his dad on a shoot with a prominent athletic brand.

Ben Haggerty spent a summer at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn when he was 17. He spent most of that time bouncing around thrift shops, buying tartans and dressing up as a character he called “Professor Macklemore”. He eventually dropped the “Professor”, became a Grammy award-winning rapper, and somewhere along the way started playing golf. Now he’s focusing his energy on finishing an album, getting his handicap to single digits, and building his golf clothing company, Bogey Boys. Ben dropped by the Group Golf Therapy couch to talk about what golf has taught him about himself, addiction and recovery, fear, fulfillment, death, and Young Thug.

In June 2021, Farris Holliday completed a whopping Pandemic project: he played a round of golf in all 50 states. His one tip for anyone else trying to do this? Marry a flight attendant, like he did. Farris' journey across the country with his golf clubs was one of self-discovery and getting to the root of what golf in America truly resembles. Unfortunately, Farris wasn't always met in the pro shop with open arms. 

Farris has an evolved outlook on what golf can do for the mind, the body, and the soul. He also has one of our favorite "mortal wounds" we've ever heard.

Hannah Tenenbaum is new to the game. She picked up golf the way many Americans did in the past couple years, during the pandemic, egged on by friends. But she's bringing her own style to golf, and showcasing her Poshmark, Depop, or otherwise thrifted clothing finds via her golf-focused Instagram account, Ginny le Golfeur. 

Hannah tells the Shrinks about her experience as a new golfer, her recent journey with therapy, and—with inside knowledge, as the head of brand partnerships at Paradigm Talent Agency—how the golf industry can better represent creators, models, and influencers in the constantly evolving media landscape. We also have Hannah on the hook for our first-ever GGT guest music playlist. Stay tuned.
