The Follow Through

Welcome to part 2 of our 3 part series with guest, Trevor Ellerman.

We’ve broken Episode 8 into a THREE part series. Our guest, Trevor Ellerman gave us so much great content, we thought we’d deliver it back to you in digestible chunks!

We've taken a bit of a fall break but are back with our first "Book Club" episode. This is where Troy, Sheldon and Corey gather, sans guest, and chat about ideas. Most are golf related, some are just about random topics. We are recording a few of these to see what the response is with a goal of keeping the show going in between our great guests.

In Part 2 we jump right into the mid-amateur story.  We get to hear the raw blow by blow of a guy on the verge of a huge win and encountering a couple of the most unlucky breaks imaginable.  

What are the lessons to take from this, how did he bounce back, did he bounce back?  What is next for Ryan in his competitive golf career?  All of those answers and more in part two!  

Ryan is a former NCAA standout at University of Texas San Antonio.  Now back in Medicine Hat, he and his wife Sarah have a young son and Ryan works as a Real Estate agent.

Part 1 of a two part episode with top amateur golfer and Desert Blume member Ryan Werre.  In part 1 Ryan will walk us through his desire to become a top junior and pursue a division 1 golf scholarship.  Listen along as he continues to reach for the next level, until it is out of reach.

Ryan is a former NCAA standout at University of Texas San Antonio.  Now back in Medicine Hat, he and his wife Sarah have a young son and Ryan works as a Real Estate agent.

It’s clear that competition drives Ryan’s passion and he continues to compete at a high level here in Alberta and in Canada, having represented Team Alberta at the Canadian mid-Amateur championships. 

Part 1 sets the stage for Ryan’s transition back to amateur golf and the highs and lows experienced there.  Be sure to listen to both episodes!

Episode 6 focuses on attending a Major Championship. We know we are well past major season, but thinking this is the time of year that average people start thinking about booking a trip. Dave Ridgedale ('99 Sr. Open, '19 Open), Tim Bloomfield ('17 Masters, '24 PGA) and Troy Bartman ('15 Open) share their thoughts on the ins and outs of attending a major golf tournament.

We left you hanging in part 1 with Dillon Batsel. In part 2 you get the blow by blow, shot by shot account from the man himself on how he shot 58 this season. Get inside the mind of a player as he approaches this incredible number, the pressure he was feeling, the choices he made and how he closed the deal.

We’ve broken Episode 5 into a two part series. In this episode, Dillon Batsel joins us to talk about a very special round of golf. But before we get to that magical round we learn a ton about the person that Dillon is, what drives him and just how passionate he is about golf. You thought you loved golf, wait until you hear Dillon talk.

Episode 4 is out and Tim Hall joins the crew to talk about all the unique characters you meet in this game. His longtime connection to Redcliff and the Riverview Club gave him a front row seat to plenty of shenanigans.

In episode 3 Kevin Fuhrmann joins the pod to talk about his love/hate relationship with the game. A natural athlete who played high levels of hockey and baseball, Kevin eventually turned to competitive bodybuilding. While he underplays his accomplishments there, he quite obviously and visibly puts the rest of us to shame.
