  • Bonus Hugs: Pinehurst and the US Adaptive Open

    The Shrinks are at the USGA’s 2nd Adaptive Open at Pinehurst No. 6! This impromptu Bonus Hugs session from Bradford and Connor was laid down between lighting setups. Giddiness and love ensues. Cisco brought the GGT team to Pinehurst to help capture stories of the Adaptive Open competitors and what makes this tournament so important.


    In this session: Earthly elements, Connor’s Hut, curiosity.

  • #077 - Dinks.

  • #076 - Going deep with Tossing Clubs

    This was almost a six-voice podcast. The Tossing Clubs trio have been creating podcast and social media content for a year, focused on their new journeys in golf. Zach and Aaron from the Tossing Clubs outfit join the couch to talk about their roulette-style approach to playing the world’s best golf courses, and how they’re each embarking on adventures in therapy. 


    In this session: ClubTalk, the Corn Song, knee shakes.

  • Bonus Hugs: Macklemore returns to the couch

    Ben Haggerty first came on the couch a year ago — he was in the self-described painstaking process of finishing an album. Time has passed. The album’s out, he’s gone on a world tour. Now, he’s dropping another album: an entire line of clothing (plus a golf shoe) with adidas Golf. The Bogey Boys x adidas collaboration dropped on June 14, and in celebration of the release, the Shrinks got a few minutes with Macklemore at the adidas store. 


    In this session: the worst part of making an album, fulfillment, what the kids think.

  • #074 - Rachel Drake is an artist.
    Rachel Drake is an abstract golf artist — her commissioned golf paintings hang in homes of bucket-list trippers and daughters of major champions. Her journey to becoming an artist, though, and becoming a mother, was born from a stretch of unimaginable grief. One certainty is learned from this conversation with Rachel: when presented with loss, she has the unmistakable knack of creating. Rachel went to the golf course — alone — in 2020, to find solitude. It took. Now, her golf art accounts for a majority of her business; and she can paint Pebble Beach's 7th hole with her eyes closed (next step is seeing it in person).
    In this session: GGT’s first Mom, a Pimento verdict, “When did you forget you were a flower?”

  • #073 - Golf means nothing to Christine Fraser

    Golf course architect, Christine Fraser, came on the Group Golf Therapy couch 2 years ago. She was the fourth session of the podcast. Much has changed for us all in that time: work has come; pro-ams have been played; Connor slept on a cot in Christine’s Edinburgh hotel room. But one thing has remained: the Shrinks and Christine are family. This session is a catch-up on the past few years, running through Christine’s recent work, and her future plans to build the modern day St Andrews. Praise: check. Tears: check. A GGT classic.


    In this session: Nan is a badass, the Power of No, the universality of maintenance sheds.


    ALERT: In the show, Christine referenced a golf course called The Loop at Chaska, which is a 9-holer in Minnesota designed specifically with adaptive needs golfers in mind. Read more about Chaska HERE!

  • #072 - Cole Walliser is getting Brain Gains
    Cole Walliser learned at a young age that being different wasn’t a bad thing. While his friends were playing baseball, basketball, and golf, Cole dug his heels into a skateboard and drilled trick after trick; ultimately leading to sponsorships as a junior. He applied the same hardworking principles to his creativity, and never lost his drive to make things. Cole got a visa from his native Canada, moved to Los Angeles, and began working toward a career as a filmmaker. Now, again, he's attacking his newfound passion for golf with the same fervor: "every shot is your most important," rings in his head on the course. For Cole — and for the Shrinks — golf has been a lesson in staying present and focusing on the process.
    In this session: Red Carpets, garbage time, flexing the hippocampus.

  • #071 - Shrinks Only: Ashes to ashes, diapers to diapers

    Despite spending the better part of four weeks together for various GGT-related projects, it had been months since Bradford, Connor, and Drew got the opportunity to sit together and lay down a Shrinks Only conversation. Well, it finally happened. The Shrinks reflect on a hectic season, handling fast-pace in different ways, and how they've reconciled their working relationships with their personal ones.


    In this session: Brother Button, yard signs, US Open!

  • #070 - PGA Tour player, Trey Mullinax, LIVE from the Wells Fargo Championship

    For the second year, the Shrinks were brought together to enjoy the scenes at the Wells Fargo Championship. On a long Wednesday — which included following a pro-am group with Rory McIlroy, walking with First Tee students-turned-caddies, and participating in a First Tee clinic — Bradford, Connor, and Drew grabbed a quick couch session with PGA TOUR player, Trey Mullinax. In addition to the week-in, week-out grind of the tour, Trey is a father, an entrepreneur, and a believer in community with his fellow competitors. The Shrinks and Trey sat down at the bustling Wells Fargo Small Business Market, so you’ll be joined by a lively crowd in this session — but that didn’t stop Trey from opening up about life on the road, and chasing his dream. 


    In this session: Honoring the 12 year-old, new shoes, Fast Car.


    Many thanks to our good friends at Wells Fargo and SKRATCH for making this opportunity possible: Karl, Becca, Amanda, Tyler, Jason, and the rest of the team are forever in our hearts <3
