     Plans for the year ahead

     Any new clubs or potential additions to the bag

     Content ideas in the pipeline

     Upcoming golf away days

     Today’s golf and general golf chat

     A bit of YouTube golf talk and the creator scene

  • Season 2, Episode 7 – Julia (@juliac_golf), Founder of the 6AM Club

     Season 2, Episode 7 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. Julia (@juliac_golf), Founder of the 6AM Club


    Episode 7 of Season 2 is in the can, and I’m joined by Julia, founder of the 6AM Club — a club I’m proudly a fully fledged member of 


    We dive into:

     The 6AM Club — why she started it and the commitment it takes to train that early

     How accountability makes all the difference in sticking with it

     Her journey into golf — from her mum being a golfer and hitting balls in the back garden, to family trips to Portugal and realising she was missing out

     Starting ladies group coaching and eventually joining a golf club

     Seven years on at the same club — now serving on the committee and as club captain

     A classic WITB chat and her ball of choice


    All this and plenty more in a brilliant conversation.


    Julia is an incredible ambassador for golf — whether that’s for brands, her golf club, or the wider community through her content. 


    She’s someone I highly recommend supporting and getting behind.

     Season 2, Episode 6 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. PGA Assistant Pro Brad Rossiter (@bradders_avfc)


    Episode 6 is here and this one was a lot of fun. I’m joined by PGA Assistant Pro Brad Rossiter to talk all things golf, turning pro, and life inside the industry.


    We get into Brad’s journey:

     Starting young, playing golf with his dad

     Growing up playing alongside a friend — building that competitive edge and pushing each other

     Taking golf seriously and eventually turning pro


    We also chat about:

     The courses, the costs, and the ambitions of playing professionally

     Where he’s based and those long summer days spent just playing golf — the kind of stories that make me wish I’d played as a junior

     WITB — what he’s gaming now and what could be coming next (possible brand deal? )

     Whether you still love golf when you work in the industry

     Thoughts on LIV vs PGA

     How YouTube has shaped the modern golf world

     Would he ever start his own channel?

     A round of This or That

     A little football chat

     And where to contact Brad if you’re looking for lessons


    As always, thank you for listening and for supporting the podcast.

  • Season 2, Episode 5 – Martha (@shesforeright)

    Season 2, Episode 5 – Chasing Pars ft. the dancing golfer, Martha (@shesforeright)


    Joined by the lovely Martha this week to talk all things golf… and even a few cups of tea 


    We chat about:

     When and how she started playing

     Courses she’s played so far and where she’s looking to join next

     Her lessons and what she’s working on this season

     Her goal — which she came fully prepared for (I reckon she smashes at least 75% )

     Whether her dance background helps her golf

     WITB — what made her pick them (pink may have had something to do with it )

     Another guest using ChatGPT to help find their next club?

     The challenges in women’s golf attire


    All this and plenty more in this episode.


    Make sure you give Martha a follow and as always, thanks for listening

  • Season 2, Episode 4 – Stu the Course Reviewer

     Season 2, Episode 4 – Chasing Pars ft. Stu the Course Reviewer


    We finally made this one happen after life kept getting in the way — and it was well worth the wait.


    Come and listen to a brilliant chat with Stu as we get into:

     How he started playing golf

     Where his channel began and where it is now

     What’s in store for the future

     My favourite WITB chat — Stu basically has a whole new bag… is he worse than me? 

     His home course, where the short par 3s are some of the best around

     Courses we both want to play


    All this and so much more on this week’s episode.


    Make sure you give Stu a follow and go have a listen

  • Season 2, Episode 3 – ft. @demi_golfs

     Season 2, Episode 3 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. @demi_golfs
    The latest episode is here, and I’m joined by the lovely Demi (@demi_golfs) — someone with a genuinely unique and refreshing journey into the game.
    Demi started with lessons before even hitting the driving range, something she still commits to, alongside practising like a mad person (her words ). She says the addiction is very real… and I believe her.
    She only played her first ever round on a golf course in August last year. Four months later? A 28 handicap, with an enthusiasm for golf that just keeps growing.
    We chat about:
     Her home course — one of my favourites I’ve played in the last couple of years, so I can’t wait to head back and play with her this year
     WITB — including the club she’s absolutely in love with (true love or just the honeymoon period? )
     Clubs, content, courses, and goals
     How we somehow end up in the Bahamas in 2027 as full-time content creators, cocktails in hand
    Demi is genuinely one of my favourite people to interact with on TikTok — and you should be following her too.
     Give the episode a listen and make sure you show her some love.
    Huge thanks to Demi for giving up her time for a great chat, and as always, thank you all for listening, sharing, and supporting the podcast

  • Season 2, Episode 2 – Carl aka @slanjepar

     Season 2, Episode 2 – Out Here Chasing Pars ft. Carl aka @slanjepar


    Episode 2 of 2026 is here, and I’m joined by Carl (@slanjepar) — someone I’ve been trying to get on the podcast for ages. Timing never quite lined up, but today he managed to park up in Perth and jump on a Zoom call with me. One day we’ll crack in-person recording properly 


    As always, we get into all things golf:

     How Carl got into the game

     My favourite topic — WITB — including his favourite club, which he’s convinced will never leave the bag

     His special tour bag (you’ll want to hear why I think it’s so cool)

     His very first course and his current home course

     The famous par 3 where he started his channel — I genuinely can’t wait to visit

     A few This or That questions to wrap things up


    All this and plenty more on this week’s episode.


    Big thanks to Carl for taking the time to join me, and as always, thank you at home for listening and supporting the show.


    Stay blessed, stay humble — see you next week

  • Chasing Pars Special Episode – Talking FND with Laura (@rubbishcricketersandgolfers)

    For this special episode, I’m joined by Laura, one half of Rubbish Cricketers and Golfers, to talk a little golf — but more importantly, to help raise awareness of FND (Functional Neurological Disorder).
    This conversation was as much about me learning as it was about sharing information. Huge thanks to Laura for patiently educating me and answering my questions — even the ones that felt silly to ask. I really hope this episode helps anyone who knows someone living with FND, or who may be dealing with it themselves.
    I truly believe we can all be curious, ask questions, and learn — without being rude or intrusive. Hopefully I managed to do that here.
    I’m looking forward to having Laura back on with Gary in the future to talk all about their channel and, of course, more golf. But for now, I hope this episode is as interesting and eye-opening for you as it was for me, and that it helps shine a light on the realities of this condition.
    Thank you again to Laura for her openness and honesty — and thank you all for listening.

  • Season 2, Episode 1 – Welcome to 2026 ft. Niall (@JoinSkratchr)

    We’re back. Welcome to Season 2 of Out Here Chasing Pars — and what a way to kick things off.


    For the first episode of the new series, I’m joined by Niall from Skratchr. Raised in Dublin, and now living near London, Niall shares his journey into golf — including saving up for his first set of clubs (I’ve forgiven him for the brand choice ).


    We get into:

     How he got into golf

     WITB — and why he believes a putter fitting is absolutely vital

     His home course… and yes, everyone has a nemesis hole

     His passion for the game and the creation of Skratchr — go check it out at the links below and show him some support. If this takes off like I think it can, it could be massive for the golf community

    Sign up here for waiting list:


    Www.skratchr.com/waitlist


    There’s also plenty of general golf chat — and anyone who knows me knows I don’t shut up once I get going 


    Incredible to have Niall on the show, and I’m really looking forward to welcoming him back once his project is fully underway.


    Thanks for sticking with us through the short break — weekly episodes are back and ready for your ears 

    Find us in all the usual places, tell a friend, and if you fancy jumping on for a chat, reach out!

  • BONUS Chasing Pars – Fitness Special ft. Gav Sorley (@gavsorleycoaching)

    Out Here Chasing Pars – Fitness Special ft. Gav Sorley (@gavsorleycoaching)


    For this special episode, I’m joined by my friend and coach Gav Sorley, and this one goes a bit beyond golf — into fitness, mindset, and real-life change.


    I wanted Gav on the show to talk about:

     His journey from office job to fitness coach

     His football background (goalkeeper… that still counts, right? )

     Why he started, where the passion came from, and what drives him now

     How much he invests in himself through education — funny how he loves learning now when school was a different story 


    We also get into:

     The advantages of online coaching

     Tips on what to look for if you’re starting your own fitness journey

     Where people often go wrong — and how to avoid it

     Gav’s own comedic golf story and whether he could ever see himself becoming a golfer

    …and as always, we venture off down a few different avenues along the way


    I don’t praise him enough, but Gav is the main reason I went from 136kg down to 83kg. I’m back working with him over winter now, getting ready for the next golf season — and I couldn’t recommend him more.


    Give Gav a follow — he might just motivate you to start a journey of your own 


    More fantastic golf content coming very soon… thanks as always for listening and supporting the podcast
