No Gimmies Golf Podcast

Part 2 of my interview with Barry Hume, we dive into his career as a Professional and everything that went with that roller-coaster ride. The talent and ability was never in doubt, but why did he not emulate his startling amateur career and continue this into the Pro ranks...

Wow, what a career, a very thoughtful gentleman and a golfing genius!

As a young Junior golfer, I looked up to Barry as THEE Player in our county and country that every young kid wanted to be. Winning national titles by 13 shots, winning 72-hole events by 10 shot margins, course records and much more - I had the pleasure of sitting with Barry and reminiscing about his early amateur days at Haggs Castle Golf Club, the influence of Jim McAllister, Head Pro, his partnership with Marc Warren and the drive to be the best player in the world!

1 hour and we have only just started, enjoy Part 1 with Barry Hume, one of Scotland's greatest ever amateur golfers.

I sat down with 2 x time European Tour Winner, Alastair Forsyth. "Big Al", a gentleman and a Scottish golf legend, one of the most consistent players we had on the European Tour for 15 + years. He talks of his rise from the Junior section at Ralston G.C., onto Tour, the impact he is having as a coach and also now in his "rookie" year on the Legends Tour! A great insight into the life of Big Al and also gives his opinion on the future of Scottish golf.

WOW... i could speak with Will Kelly all day. What an incredible individual, who after only 2 x conversations, i can't wait to get onto the golf course to put into practice the new drills and techniques i have learned to improve my golf mentality.

Sorry to say this, but we are miles off it... the country who invented the game are lagging behind, but what is going to be done about it?

Starting off "round 2" of the No Gimmies Podcast with Olympic Cyclist, Jack Carlin.

A bit of a full circle moment for Jack and I... he started his golfing journey as a 13year at Paisley Golf Club, when i was Club Professional. Fast forward 15 years and 4 x Olympic Medals later and and we got together at Paisley GC again to discuss his career and what role Golf now plays in his life. An engaging conversation with a great insight into what it really takes to compete and win at the highest level.
