Make Money on the Golf Course | Jay Delsing
PGA Tour veteran Jay Delsing is a nationally syndicated host of Golf with Jay Delsing, a member of the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame, and author of You Wouldn’t Believe Me If I Told You: An Unforgettable Memoir of Golf, Grit, and a Blue-Collar Kid on the PGA Tour. From a modest, sports-obsessed upbringing in St. Louis to earning his PGA Tour card and building a hospitality business around pro-ams, Jay brings rare behind-the-scenes stories and practical wisdom on relationships, mindset, and money.
On this episode we talk about:
How a blue-collar kid from St. Louis earned a scholarship to UCLA and eventually a PGA Tour card
Why caddying as a teenager became Jay’s masterclass in soft skills, networking, and dealing with high achievers
Wild stories from the course with Sean Connery, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Arnold Palmer, and Jack Nicklaus
How Jay turned pro-am rounds into a multi-decade hospitality and entertainment business using simple follow-up tactics
The mindset, gratitude practices, and “soft skills” he believes will separate winners in the next generation of business
Top 3 Takeaways
Deep competence in anything (golf, guitar, business, whatever) combined with soft skills and respect will open doors you can’t predict.
Small, “old school” touches like handwritten notes, genuine gratitude, and being great at the bottom rung of the ladder still massively differentiate you.
You get more of whatever you focus on—shifting from excuses and victimhood to ownership and opportunity is a non‑negotiable money and life skill.
Notable Quotes
“You get what you think the most about.”
“Write handwritten notes to people. Nobody does that now—and that’s exactly why it works.”
“You don’t have to be good at golf, just don’t be an ass. People do business with people they enjoy being around.”
