  • We All Piss Ourselves | Episode 43

    Yes, you're correct. We talk about pissing ourselves in this episode. It's been a while since we just sat and talked shit and we've had plenty of feedback to suggest this makes folks laugh so here we are... We talk about how our new interest in Surfing is going, question whether we all piss ourselves in pools, drop some mates in it with embarrassing stories, the binge drinking culture in the UK and how good it is to let your hair down and party a little on Golf trips! We didn't stop laughing and hope you don't either! Oh, and there's a little bonus if you listen to the full episode... Please review also! We're starting to try and push this podcast and grow it to help bring value to as many people as possible. It would mean the world. Thank you, Nation :)

  • We Made A Serious Up And Down | Nation Series With Zac Radford | Episode 42

    So, we recorded with Zac last week but we had a huge technological error and none of his audio recorded! He was kind enough to come on again today so we are immensely thankful for that. This podcast was so much fun and we even got an exclusive that you'll have to keep your ears peeled for.  We talk about Zac's entry to Golf, his amazing transformation from 12 to +6 handicap within 12 months, his recent trip to Scotland and so much more. He even teaches you how to perform the famous Zac Radford stinger! Zac is so down to earth and only creates content to provide value and benefit to his community and to help make Golf as relatable as possible. We sincerely hope you enjoy! If you enjoyed it or are enjoying the episodes frequently, please do review, subscribe and tell a mate to help us grow. Thanks for the love, Nation!

  • It Just Has To Be Fun | Nation Series With Dorig - Owner Of The Surf Towel Brand 'Leus' | Episode 40

    This was dope. What Dorig was able to bring to the table was so valuable and we hope it brought you all benefit. We discuss the Surf culture and how that might be able benefit Golf. We dive into what Leus stands for, why it was started and Dorig' s journey to this point.  We established that the main thing was for people to understand about Golf was to just be able to have fun. It's something we've spoken about so much either on the Podcast, Instagram or Blog and is something we will continue to drill into people. Community, experience and fun. It really can be that straightforward. Why we concern ourselves so much with the 'hierarchy' that may or may not exist, I will never understand. Dorig makes an amazing point that the more emerging brands that are able to tell different stories and narratives, the more this game progresses. We are all welcome to play, no matter our background. This one will appeal to Entrepreneurs, Golfers, Action Sport enthusiasts and probably everyone else in between! Hope you enjoy JJ Nation. Please like, share, subscribe, leave a review etc etc :) Btw, for those of you who don't know, Leus is a towel brand and probably the only towel brand that tells a real story and gives the consumer the ability to express themselves.

  • Make This Shit Relatable | Episode 38

    In this episode, we dive into more around who we are and what we aim to create and why. We discuss how we aim to use the benefits of Golf as cornerstones for more connected experiences on our Escapes. For example, we will introduce yoga into our itinerary in the hope we are able to prolong the the time people are able to play by being more flexible and healthy. Whilst vital, accessibility doesn't always mean to focus on price and youth. It's making this game relatable, promoting its sub-cultures and benefits that will help our special game. Hope you all enjoy and as ever, please share!

  • Sushi Me Rollin' - The Importance Of Travel | Episode #37

     In this episode, we discuss travel and it's importance. Once more, we talk about why we think Golf harnesses so much of what travel is about and discuss its role as a vehicle to travel and explore. It's pretty cool that an individual sport can take you to so many places and meet so many interesting people. You see, Golf is much more than a sport or a game. It's a lifestyle, it's an opportunity within itself to benefit those who take part in so many ways. This episode also contains the regular dosage of laughs :) Hope you enjoy and gain value from it :) If you did, please share, subscribe like or comment!

  • Embrace Yourself | Nation Series With Colin McCarthy | Episode #36

    The first thing to know about Colin is that he is an incredibly real guy and the topic of authenticity is what resonated throughout. It's so important that we all recognize who we are and embrace that. So many of us reject ourselves somewhat and spend our time posturing or faking to maintain a certain image. Colin knows this and is unapologetic about being himself. What's more encouraging is that Colin spends a lot of his time with kids and teaching them how to play but is also teaching them how to be themselves. Golf gives us all the opportunity, through our swing and style of play, to express ourselves freely and I think this isn't talked about enough! We go deep on Colin's introduction to the game to his life as a trick shot artist and Golf coach. Some really insightful conversation here with a healthy dose of laughs! Hope you all enjoy and please don't forget to share, like and subscribe. We do this to bring as much value to you as possible so it would mean the world if you could help bring value to more people :)

  • Introducing Just Jaks Golf Escapes | Episode #35

    Excited! A couple months back, after coming to the conclusion there isn't a value add Golf holiday in the market, we set out to create Just Jaks Golf Escapes. This podcast references 'Nation Tours', but we just changed the name :) We wanted to create the best Golf Holiday product out there so we spent weeks formulating this. Just Jaks Golf Escapes will be an all-inclusive, hassle free, bespoke, concierge driven, improvement, competition and value driven trip. We want to create an environment where either individual Golfers or Golfers as part of a group can come and enjoy this experience together. We were growing frustrated in the amount of effort required to book and manage your typical Golf holiday and then when on the holiday, there always seemed to be issues with shuttles or tee times etc. Additionally, as amateur Golfers, we long to be part of the competition that pros get to be involved in week in and week out so we decided to create a team tournament format where players will take part in dinners, receive loads of merchandise and compete Ryder Cup style! Not only this, to make sure you improve, there will be a coach on hand to help you improve all week - all included in the price! We hope you enjoy listening and sincerely hope you join us on our inaugural Just Jaks Golf Escapes to Turkey between the 21st and 28th October! Product to be released shortly!
