His role as both a life and golf coach to his students

Future Champions is the premiere junior tour for any junior golfer trying to improve their game and have fun in the process. 

Also, the outro includes changes to the podcast coming in 2018. Happy holidays everyone! Enjoy the new year.

Gunga Galunga is my guest today as we go over our "favorite 18". He's been lucky enough to photograph and play most of the best courses in the world, and as a year in review game we decided to form our favorite 18 holes that we've played.

Be sure to check out Gunga Galunga on instagram or his website. And subscribe to the podcast, enjoy!

Jay Blasi is the golf course architect and owner at Jay Blasi Design. He sits down with me to discuss the process of creating a golf course, his design philosophy, and his biggest inspirations in golf course design.

Jay does a great job of explaining significant architectural principles in layman's terms throughout this episode. I hope this allows you to be able to differentiate good golf from bad golf, and form your own opinions on what you like in a golf course.

Enjoy!
