Episode 13 - August 5th, 2019 -

The Ampcaddy Bluetooth Speaker We are all familiar with the popular trend happening in the golf world. Music on the course. While some find it utterly obtrusive and unacceptable, there is a growing number of golfers who love the concept of music on the course. Please don’t think we are advocating the jerks out there who blast the music disrupting everyone around them. There’s a level of civility that needs to be maintained if you enjoy playing your music playlist while golfing. For the most part, the people we have encountered who play music have been respectful and understand this trend is something that needs to be cared for as it matures. You’re not going to change the golfing world by being a pompous ass and forcing your way into the game. Meet John, the man behind the birth of Ampcaddy John has a great story of how he came to be a player in this music on the course niche. In this episode, John joined Matt for some candid behind the scenes information on how Ampcaddy started, and what the future holds for them. Music on the course is a love it or hate it type of experience. John has some fantastic insight into the golf speaker space. He shared with us how he got started with Ampcaddy, his background with golf, and why he has the knowledge to grow this business. With the good, there comes some bad Unfortunately, there was some lousy press thrown in the direction of Ampcaddy. We thought it would be an excellent opportunity for John to share his thoughts on what happened with MyGolfSpy. We let him explain why he feels they could be doing so much more with the platform they have. If you’re looking for a hate speech on why MyGolfSpy is an awful company, don’t listen. John is very respectful and made it clear he has more things to concern himself with than some social media posts. He has a reputable company that is producing a fantastic product that is only getting better with time. When you take into consideration his background in golf and the audio industry, we hope you’ll get a better understanding of how poor a decision it was for MyGolfSpy to attack them.

Episode 12 - July 29th, 2019 -

The hilarious PGA Memes We did it! Our first milestone for the Chasing Daylight Podcast, our twelfth episode. What better way to toast this occasion than having one of the hottest Instagram Golf Accounts join us for an interview. Travis, the man behind the madness at @pgamemes, hopped on the phone and gave us a little insight into what started the wildly popular account and what’s it’s like running the page. PGA Memes is an account worth following If you’re not following PGA Memes, do yourself a favor and go follow. Ryan and I both agree the content is hilarious. Most of the time the jabs they put on the Tour guys are exactly what we all are thinking. Travis has a unique sense of humor. He has brilliantly been able to use it grow the account to almost 400,000 followers. That’s just insane to us. It has been incredible to watch the growth on the account and to see the interactions from his following. You want to talk about building a community. However, pgamemes isn’t the only account for Travis We’ve all seen the videos, and some of us, mainly Ryan, have been “pranked” by SirHissalot. The wildly entertaining account @hissalot is another brainchild of Travis. It started back in 2014 and has grown to be an account where he doesn’t even need to create content anymore. Fans of the page are consistently sending in videos. Travis let us know he’s planning a revamping of the account and has some plans for 2020 to make it even better than it is now. We can’t wait to see that.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by ♛ Sir Hissalot ♛ (@hissalot) on Aug 19, 2018, at 10:15am PDT Ryan’s Easter Eggs It just wouldn’t be an episode if Ryan didn’t have something to give away. Since pgamemes is partnering with ShortPar4 and has some shirts for sale on their site, we thought it would be fun to give away a ShortPar4 hat. Here’s all you need to do….. Listen to the episode and find out! There’s a hint in this post and a link that will assist, but you have to listen to figure out what to do!

Episode 11 - July 23rd, 2019 -

We chat about The Open Championship and more. Congrats to you on The Open win Mr. Lowry The Irish flags were waving, and so were the Sxrion ones! And oh what a Major it was. In arguably the best put on major overseas that we could remember Royal Portrush flourished on TV and in person from those who were lucky enough to be on the grounds. That means you Joel, you lucky SOB! The stunning landscape and what this tournament meant to the people of Northern Ireland made it an unforgettable experience. Matt and Ryan briefly cover their thoughts on what took place and how this was the conclusion of the Major season. No more Majors in 2019 With the conclusion of The Open, we’re now left to wait another 261 days before we see Augusta in early April. With the new season schedule, we have no more majors left on the calendar and only the Tour Championship to look forward to for a high profile event. We are curious how this new schedule will pan out only time will tell. Both Matt and Ryan offer their takes on the new schedule and what this means for the offseason. Listener Voice Mails YES, we finally got to these! Matt has been pushing the voice mails for a while now (702-518-1864), and Ryan figured out why in this episode! We took in some great calls, and it provided us with some excellent content for this episode. The voice mail calls was a great segment! We cannot wait to hear more from all of you. After you listen, you’ll understand why we’re expecting more calls after recording this episode. So get busy! Something BIG is coming It may happen in Tahoe, it may feature a fine co-sponsor, and it will be the first event in our new BREAKFAST BALL EVENT SERIES. Stay tuned for more info in this. We will be heavily promoting it on our social feeds. Ryan’s Easter Eggs For this episode, we’re giving away a Garsen QUAD Tour grip to one lucky listener.

Episode 10 - July 17th, 2021 -

We are excited to share this interview with all of you. 

Both of us are fans of Corey Paul and Logan Olson's work. We’re not just fanboys, though; we’re owners as well. 

Ryan has several pieces from Corey’s Wedge and Iron collections, and he also has an Olson Manufacturing putter. Matt has two putters from Olson Manufacturing, most notably the VEGAS58 Putter, which Logan crafted earlier this year. 

Getting to know these two incredible craftsmen

We’re familiar with the backstory of how both brands came to be, but it was fun to listen to them talk about their passion. Corey and Logan have very different paths to this industry, and it was great to hear them tell their stories. Make sure you listen to what they are saying. They nailed so many analogies throughout the episode; it was hard to keep track! 

CPFA and Olson Manufacturing Collaborations 

Sunday, the dynamic duo will release another collaboration on the Corey Paul Functional Art website. From the photos we’ve seen on their Instagram accounts, it looks like it’s going to be another fantastic release, and we’re pumped to see it hit the site. 

Ryan’s Easter Eggs

Of course, Mr. Giveaway was at it again. Stay tuned to the end to hear what you need to do to grab yourself some free swag.

Episode 9 - July 11th, 2019 -

The show goes on with some Club Champion talks and MyGolfSpy The second part to episode 7 opens up with our first Voice Mail message. It’s a creepy one. Then we dive back into the Stability Putter and the new flat stick from TRU2. Club Champion and getting fit correctly Both of us have spent a little time at the new Las Vegas Club Champion, and we are both fans of what they are doing there. The fitting process can be an uneasy experience if it’s not done correctly and we talk about why we like Club Champion. We also offer our insights on what to look for in a fitting. Getting fit is tops on our list of things you need to consider if you are looking to improve as a player. MyGolfSpy Rant However, what gets the boat rocking is Ryan’s take on MyGolfSpy. We cover our thoughts on what’s taking place with them, and that leads us to talk about golf balls. We cover MGS and their recent series about the findings in cut open golf balls and why we think what’s happing with this “tactic” may not be for all the right reasons. Please be reminded that this is our opinion and one of the reasons we wanted to start the podcast, to share our stories and opinions. The MGS topic led us into talking about our Golf Ball Sponsor over at The Breakfast Ball, Wilson Staff. Links for this episode: TRU2 Golf Club Champion Las Vegas MyGolfSpy WEBSITE Wilson Golf Balls Cut Golf Balls Olson Manufacturing Ryan’s Easter Eggs Like always Ryan had some goodies to give away, and this time it’s was a dozen golf balls from Cut Golf. Two ways to win, and it’s straightforward. Leave Ryan a DM on his IG account that reads “Build your own empire.” Leave a message on our voice line saying, “Send me the cut golf balls.” The voice line number is 702-518-1864 be sure to leave us your name and mailing address so we can get them out to you.

Episode 8 - July 10th, 2019 -

The Last Major It is almost here, the last Major of the season. With it, just around the corner, we got in some first thoughts about the tournament's return to Ireland. Will Rory win a Major in Ireland? Will Koepka add another to his growing list of Majors? Should you chastise anyone who calls it “The British Open” and what’s up with ESPN. Matthew Wolff is setting himself up to be a star We then got very long-winded on the new star on the PGA Tour, although he’s been making a name for himself for a few years now, Matthew Wolff. Last week's winner has been a huge topic around the golfing world, and we chime in with our thoughts and question is the exemption to the “young guns” good for the sport. We interrupt this podcast Nothing can ruin the proper flow of a show like “technical difficulties.” We were getting to dive into the Stability Shaft when an unforeseen incident took place. After we “fixed” the issues we picked up the episode again and went on to talk for another 50 minutes. So instead of creating one, very long podcast, we have split this up into two parts. The Stability Shaft conversation picks up in part 2 along with some other topics you will not want to miss. Let’s say Ryan has a considerable soapbox and he’s not scared to get on top of it and voice his opinions. It’s excellent golf talk! Links for Episode 7 Part 1 The 2019 Open Championship Matthew Wolff on Instagram Breakthrough Golf Technologies Episode 7 Part 2 Look for Part 2 to hit the podcast tomorrow (7/11) and as always thank you for the support!

Episode 7

Joel Leopard from Atomic Golf joins us for this episode. If you haven’t experienced any of the work Joel is producing at Atomic Golf, you are in for a treat! Joel took some time out from his busy schedule and chatted with Matt (and briefly Laura) about his company. He has an outstanding story about how Atomic Golf came to be, his career in the Nuclear Energy field, and of course, we talked about his Ball Markers. With an upcoming MAJOR #4 release a few weeks away Joel gives us a little insider info about what you can expect to see with the new marker. Hint, it’s going to be clover-related. Then, Joel drops a bomb for us and let us know he’s working on a Putter Release for later this year! That’s right, a putter! It was an absolute pleasure having Joel on the show. He’s one of those guys who could talk golf for hours, and we LOVE that! He has some outstanding products in the works, and we cannot wait to see what he has in store for the MAJOR #4 release and his future endeavor with creating putters. Links for this Episode: Atomic Golf Website True Tech Tyson Lamb Shire Post Mint BlitzKrieg Golf Maria Fassi UST Mamiya Ben Hogan Golf Thank you, Joel, for coming on the show! The interview process for the podcast is one aspect I’m incredibly excited about continuing. Getting to know more about people via casual golf conversation is so entertaining. As much as I love scrolling the Atomic Golf Instagram page you don’t get the back story we were able to showcase in this episode!  I want to thank Joel for coming on and chatting golf. And I can’t wait for the time we have him back on to talk more about his company and how things are going

Episode 6

“Hashtag Hello!”  The man behind the fastest growing hashtag brand #claytoncomments joins Matt and Ryan for some golf chatter. This includes a 5 min intro on the inner working of the world-famous Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich. That’s not a typo. 

The topics for this episode include;  Matt’s trip to Bandon where he played in their annual Solstice Event for the first time. Clayton talks about what his role is within the Wilson family. During the conversation, Clayton gives us some great in-depth information into Wilson’s new Staff Model Blade irons. The same ones Gary Woodland just won the US Open with at Pebble Beach. Both Ryan and Clayton are playing the Staff Blades and continue to be impressed with every round they play. Clayton also dives into some info regarding the three golf balls Wilson has out. The Duo Soft, the Duo Professional, and the new FG Tour. We conclude this week’s show with a teaser.  We’re going to be running a giveaway soon where we will be sending a special someone, could be you, a Ricky Johnson Custom Putter and some RJCP accessories to go with the new flatstick.

Episode 4 - June 11th, 2019 -

Pebble Beach to shine again for the 119th US Open In this two-part episode, Matt and Ryan sit down and preview the US Open. With so many storylines for this year’s Championship, it took almost an hour to cover everything. So we broke this down into two parts. We hope you enjoy the first half and pick up part 2 to close out the preview. In all honesty, we could have easily continued this topic for a couple more hours. It’s such a fantastic time to be a golf fan, and the Golf Major Season is one of the best times of the year for all us super fans. Check out the links below for some additional information about the topics we discussed.
