Today, I’m joined by long drive professional Bry Roberts from Holyhead golf club in North Wales. Bry is a great athlete and he has represented Wales at Football, before getting into long drive. Bry can easily smash a 6 iron over 275 yards and he can drive the ball well over 400 yards, he’s achieved up to 220mph ball speed, which is absolutely incredible! Bry also coaches at the North Wales Golf Centre and he famously guarantees Golfers, he can give them 25 extra yards, or their money back!

Hey Guys, welcome back to the Hole In One Golf Podcast, I’m your host Jack Bull. Thanks very much for listening! In this episode, I’m joined by the renowned American Author & Golf Historian Stephen Proctor. Stephen has been described by the famous St. Andrews Golf Historian Roger Mc Stravick, as “The Bernard Darwin of our Times” which is quite the compliment. Stephen’s first book- “Monarch of the Green: Young Tom Morris Pioneer of the Modern Game” published by Birlinn in Edinburgh, Scotland, has been greatly received and read around the World. His new Book “The Long Golden Afternoon, Golf’s Age Of Glory 1864- 1914” is very hotly anticipated and will be launched by Stephen in Edinburgh and St. Andrews in June, just before the 150th playing of the Open in July at the home of Golf St. Andrews:-

https://www.waterstones.com/events/an-evening-with-stephen-proctor/st-andrews-95042

Thus, the timing of the book launch (and this podcast!) is absolutely impeccable.

Stephen tells me more about his books and his views on the history of the game and he also shares a few historical anecdotal gems!

Please reach out to Steven on Twitter, follow his book launch at Waterstones (UK) where he will sign you a copy & if you're very lucky, he may well recite some more gems & please buy the book online at amazon or barnes and noble!

We’re already looking forward to the next podcast Stephen!

Hey Guys welcome back to the Hole In One Golf Podcast, I’m your host Jack Bull. Please remember to like and subscribe to the podcast and please share the podcast with your friends, I would really appreciate it!

In this episode I’m joined by Stuart Manley from Mountain Ash Golf Club in Wales. Stuart played lots of sports growing up and had football trials with Man Utd, but Golf was his passion and he dedicated himself to the sport he enjoyed the most.  I’ve watched Stuart as an Amateur and followed his career. Stuart had a superb amateur career, winning the Welsh Amateur, Duncan Putter and Gold Cross and he also played in Walker Cup and Palmer Cup teams. Since turning professional, he’s won 3 times on the Challenge Tour, including the Eurma Bank Open last year.

Stuart tells me about his plans to qualify for the 150th British Open at St Andrews this year and also shares plenty of great insights from the great Welsh players he's played with and other household name guys such as Rory Mc Llroy and Angel Cabrera.

Stuart scored an infamous Hole In One at the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne Australia which was even trending on Twitter, but he’s the only guest who is sick of talking about a Hole In One as he’s asked about it at every pro-am he’s played since! Stuart also shares stories from when he briefly led the British Open and another tour story that will blow your mind!

Hi Guys, welcome back to the Hole In One Golf Podcast! I'm your host Jack Bull. It was a pleasure to be joined by Kazuma Kobori, fresh off his recent Charles Tour Win at the Muriwai Open!  He shares some amazing insights into his winning mindset. We discuss his awesome tournament schedule and also why he followed the New Zealand academy route rather than head to America. Kazuma also tells me about his potential future plans and why he aims to play more in Japan.  Kazuma‘s sister is also a famous Golfer- Momoka Kobori , watch out for her on the ladies tour!

It was a privilege to be joined by Kiwi Golf star Amelia Garvey! Amelia turned pro this year, following a stellar amateur career which saw her win the Muriwai Open on the Charles Tour, the New Zealand Strokeplay Title and she was also runner up at the British Amateur, as well as being a top player on the University of Sothern California Golf team.

Amelia turned professional just before her second US Open and she also teamed up with former New Zealand Open and PGA Tour winner Grant Waite as her new coach. Amelia has certainly surrounded herself with a great team. We discuss one of Tiger Woods’ greatest shots https://www.pgatour.com/long-form/2020/05/26/tiger-woods-best-shot-all-time-2000-rbc-canadian-open-bunker-iron.html 

Amelia also shares some amazing insights from playing with major winners Patty Tavatanakit and Lydia Ko.

Amelia plays out of the Kaipoi Golf Club in New Zealand and was originally born in Manchester, England, but sees herself as Kiwi through and through! Amelia is a naturally talented sportsperson and could have chosen to play football professionally but decided to focus on Golf, a decision which is really starting to pay off! Amelia also provides an update on Tour School and her playing status and schedule for next year and we even have time to talk football and Manchester United! Go strong Amelia, you’ll continue to absolutely smash it!

Hey Guys, welcome back to the Hole in One Golf Podcast, I’m your host Jack Bull. Welcome to a very special episode of the legends of golf G.O.A.T.s series on The Hole In One Golf Podcast where I take a look at some of golf’s greatest ever players.

In 1997, a young 21 year old playing in his first Masters Tournament as a professional, would play his first 9 holes un-remarkably, taking 40 (+4) shots on the front nine at Augusta, as he appeared to be on his way to missing the cut. On the back 9, he would begin his journey into changing the course of Golf History while also changing the future of the game. When Tiger Woods came back in 30 (-6), recovering his round and going on the win the Masters by a record margin of 12 strokes, a winning margin which still stands to this day, one of the greatest golfers the game has ever seen emerged.

I reflect back on the news of Tiger's recovery and what Tiger has meant to the game in his career so far, remembering some of his many career highlights and also sharing some of my personal encounters with Tiger and offering where I think he stands alongside the other greatest players of all time.

Hey Guys welcome back to the Hole In One Golf Podcast, I’m your host Jack Bull, thanks very much for listening. On this episode, it was great to catch up with English Golf Professional Steve Surry, who is an amazing guest with an inspirational journey. Steve turned pro back in 2003 and he’s chosen to play mainly on the Sunshine Tour in South Africa. He shares some wonderful insights into playing golf in South Africa as well as on various tours in the UK, where he sometimes struggled to even enter! Steve has recently hit some great form in South Africa, he shot a 63 which included a hole in one! Steve is currently resting in Trowbridge before heading back to South Africa for the co-sanctioned European and Sunshine Tour events. Steve talks openly about the highs & lows of professional golf on the “mini tours” and he reveals how to maximise the opportunities of playing on various tours across the UK and South Africa. We also discuss some of the talented players that Steve has played with, who have then gone on to perform at the highest level. Steve of course shares some crazy travel stories form his time in Africa and he talks more about being a huge Bristol Rovers Football fan! I’m sure you’ll really enjoy this podcast. Thanks very much for your time Steve!

Hey Guys, welcome back to the Hole In One Golf Podcast, thanks very much for listening! Joining me on this episode is Kiwi Golf Professional-Josh Geary. Josh is a very well known Touring Pro, having won numerous times in New Zealand and Australia, plus 3 times on the China Professional Tour, after getting his first win on the Canadian Tour back in 2008, not long after turning pro. Josh has also played in the USA on the Web.com tour, as well as in Latin America and now Europe, so he truly is an International pro!

I managed to catch up with Josh on his way back through New Zealand and he reflects on his season, with events on both the Challenge Tour and the main European Tour. Josh shares some great insights into how he is improving and he also tells some great tales from the Tour and European Q School, playing against the likes of former World Number 1 Martin Kaymer and long hitting Wilco Nienaber. Josh also picks who the next Kiwi to break through will be. Thanks very much for your time Josh!

It was an absolute honour to be joined by Spain’s Alex Del Rey, who shares with me some incredible insights into how he is able to regularly shoot so many low scores and he tells me more about his amazing round of 58, during the second round at the Swiss Challenge in France, on Europe’s Challenge Tour. Alex’s round of 58, consisted of an incredible 8 birdies and 3 eagles and at 14 under par, his round has gone down in history as the lowest under par score in a professional tournament on any tour- ever! Congratulations on your historic round Alex and I’m certain we’ll see many more like this from you again in future!
