Is it a coincidence that we release this session with an ordained rabbi the morning after Rosh Hashanah? Absolutely. Also, Rabbi Marc isn't ordained — he isn't a rabbi at all (don't worry though, he is Jewish). Instead, Ben Something from southern California went on eBay early in the pandemic to buy a used golf bag to feed his budding golf interest; the leather staff bag he purchased arrived at his door, and upon opening the box saw "Rabbi Marc Gellman" emblazoned across the front in slightly-faded stitching. Thus, Rabbi Marc was born. Marc/Ben has been a day-one supporter of Group Golf Therapy, and it felt only right to bring him onto the couch for a chat. Three shrinks and a rabbi walk into a recording studio... you finish the joke.

In this session: identity theft, compassionate golf, being a "setter".

Jacques Slade has his hands in a lot of things: he's built a successful YouTube channel, he's made sneakers with Nike, he's acted in feature films. He's also become golf obsessed, and is learning more about himself through playing the game. Jacques came to the GGT couch with loads of opinions on the state of fashion in professional golf, how sneaker culture can bring more people to the golf course, and how learning Spanish is helping him get ready for his next round.

In this session: what shoe silhouettes should be brought to golf, sweet potato biscuits, safe words.

Uh oh. A last-minute guest cancellation bore a truly, madly, deeply unhinged conversation betwixt the Shrinks. This clip is the tip of this iceberg.

In this session: Game of Thrones (tons of it), Connor's encounter with Flea, shout-outs aplenty.

Group Golf Therapy is officially back for season 3! Another chewy block of 20 sessions is coming to you, and we begin this batch with a timely one: professional golfer, Hailey Davidson. Hailey is the first trans woman to win a professional golf tournament in the US, but eking out a living on mini tours isn't easy — a reality she shares with us on the show. After posting 2-under par in her first round at Q-School this year, Hailey drew negative attention from conservative media regarding her identity as a trans woman fighting to earn LPGA Tour status. While articles in Fox News, The Daily Mail, and Breitbart painted an inaccurate and regressive account of Hailey's situation, she does believe they opened a door for her to share her story and experiences. 

In this session: life on the mini tours, gender transition in professional golf, infecting others with positivity on the golf course.

What's this?! The Shrinks invoke the *reverse-hiatus* to bring you a special announcement about season 3, and what new goodies you can find on the GGT Patreon page. We're doubling down on connecting with the GGT community, and we want you to come along with us!

In this session: new ways to connect, Mt. Rushmore of golf movies, Honey.

This session marks a bittersweet ending for Bradford, Drew, and Connor, as the shutters close on season 2 of Group Golf Therapy. The Shrinks spend some time reflecting on the illustrious and not-so-illustrious guests to have graced the couch over the past 20 sessions. But where one chapter concludes, another commences: the Shrinks will spend the next several weeks tinkering, sitting down to build season 3, and readying the release of a few entirely new ways to connect with Group Golf Therapy. 

In this session: a whole lot of death, getting hit with golf balls, some gratitude.

John Nichols owes a lot to golf, and to Bradford. The two became pandy golf buddies, and now the basketball media personality (otherwise known as LaJethro Jenkins) is fully hooked on finding meaning on the course. John's also a new father, and it's instantly evident how much family means to him. John is on a mission to break away from his phone, something that both golf and fatherhood are drilling into him. Believe us: when John gets paid, LaJethro is going to disappear.

In this session: parenthood, being present, tears.

Richard Johnson is a leading expert in all things SEC football. Born in Gainesville, Florida, RJ knew from day one that he wanted to work in sports media, preferably covering his beloved Gators. Well, he accomplished that mission rather quickly, and now makes regular national television appearances on the SEC Network, is a staff writer at Sports Illustrated, and hosts several podcasts of his own. In the pandemic, Richard took to golf with obsessive vigor, and has even taken to writing a few pieces about the sport.  

In this session: the complicated feeling around Tiger Woods, charcuterie boards, HOW RICHARD AND CONNOR WON A GOLF TOURNAMENT.
