What is professional golf really like when the cameras aren’t rolling?

In this episode of The Top 100 in 10 Golf Podcast, we sit down with Welsh No. 1 Toby Hunt for a brutally honest conversation about the reality of chasing a career in pro golf.

We go behind the scenes of Q-School pressure, mini tour economics, and the razor-thin margins that can define an entire season. Toby shares what it’s like to miss Stage Two by a single shot, how a last-minute DP World Tour call-up can turn your week upside down, and why resilience matters more than reputation.

You’ll hear stories from:

• Winning the Welsh PGA with just 12 clubs and seven straight birdies
• Funding life on mini tours and the true cost of travel, caddies, and entry fees
• Navigating Challenge Tour categories and DP World Tour pathways
• First-tee nerves, snap hooks, and fighting back mid-round
• Winter training in the UK, simulators, putting tech, and why putting moves the needle
• Quiet confidence boosts that keep players going when results don’t

This is a conversation about the craft, the grind, and the mental toughness required to stay in professional golf — without the highlight-reel gloss.

If you’re a golfer who loves the game, competes seriously, or has ever wondered how close (or far away) pro golf really is, this episode is a must-listen.
