The new major season has been set and my word, it is the most juicy looking and packed July-November you ever did see. We discuss this, the top 5 courses in California on Forelinx's roster and of course, given it's Masters week, the historic 2019 Masters win for TW aka El Tigre aka GOAT aka Eldrick aka TIGER! This was such a fun episode, filled with knowledge bombs all episode long. Cali listeners, you guys will get even more value out of this! Thank you for listening, Nation!

This was an insane episode. Colt Knedler, the extremely talented Golf videographer from Hawaii, takes us on a journey discussing his hole in one experiences, time working with Erik Anders Lang, his time at Fox Sports, his early Golfing career, his favourite Golf travel experiences, current work at Vice Golf and also the interesting shift in perspective having now experienced a lot of Golf through a lens. Colt is so passionate about the game and brings so much energy to the episode. Poignant sentiments are a regular occurrence and he is not short of a story or two, that is for sure! Thank you, Colt, for sharing your wild Golf experiences that have spanned from Hawaii to Iceland, Scotland and beyond. There is so much value here for listeners from both an entertainment and educational perspective. If we can learn a couple things from Colt, it's to pursue your passion at all costs and don't be afraid to evolve your perspective. Thank you so much for listening, Nation, it means the world!

Colin McCarthy joins us again to help improve your game. Now his 5th episode with us, he's becoming a bit of a hit among listeners. In this episode, we discuss all things course management and how it's perhaps the most overlooked part of your game, which is crazy. If you improve your ability to manage the course, you will see your score improve so much! Enjoy, Nation! We hope you get a tone of value.

Another varied episode to say the least! We begin with that little thing called the corona virus and the effect it is having now and will have in the future on our beautiful game. We then discuss the 2015 Masters and the emphatic way in which Jordan Spieth started his life on tour. We discuss his ups and downs to date and what the future might look like. That led us into going back and forth on what it really takes to be great and talk about how great he can be. We then end the episode with some fun questions, 1 Masters or winning the other 3 with no green jacket? etc... Once again, we sincerely hope you're enjoying it and would love any feedback! Please share, subscribe and review if you got any value at all. Much love, Nation!

Any Podcast that starts with Daft Punk is going to be good. No Tour = no events to discuss. However, we discuss the career of Dustin Johnson, the 1998 Masters where Jack Nicklaus famously had a run at 58 years old and our strong thoughts on the PGA Championship. It has potential, but needs to get better, right? Enjoy, Nation. Another episode down and loving every step of the journey.

I first started noticing James around 6 months ago on LinkedIn and he immediately caught my attention.  To convey your honest, sincere and well substantiated views and opinions on a LinkedIn platform where most consumers are at least 10 years older than you takes a lot of heart and guts and it's those exact traits that we need in our Golf industry. We need mavericks who view the game differently, who have new and interesting ideas on how to benefit the game, but who are also able to do so tactfully to help breakdown the cultural divides and conflicts that exist in the mass game. James does a fantastic job of this. In his position, James helps golf clubs acquire members and so is directly involved in the nuts and bolts of the industry. We discuss ideas on how to break down cultural barriers, how to make Golf more accessible, what stale smells linger in the game as well as some general back and forth as to why this game means so much to us both. An episode with a ton of value of players, clubs and whoever else with Golf on their mind. All opinions delivered on this episode are with the best intent behind them. We aim to make this game more fun and relatable, but also to help build an inclusive and collaborative community that will help drive the growth and enjoyment of this game. Much Love, Nation!

We named this episode 'The Adventures of Lie + Loft' for good reason. Luke's journey in Golf has been nothing short of adventurous. We discuss Luke's rad introduction to the game at the tender age of 18 months on an airfield in Spain, his sporadic obsession with Golf, his introduction to the Golf industry, why and how he started Lie + Loft and of course, the epic 900 mile, 19 Golf Course Pacific North West Cycle, Golf and Camp trip. The latter being my personal favourite. Everything you need to know about Luke and L+L can be found in this story.  At its core, L+L is an experience focused brand aiming to merge Golf and home. The consumer is at the forefront of everything the team does and has led to an impressive display of products and services from prints to caps and now, Golf camping trips. Luke is such a genuine guy with an amazing brand and purpose and I think his story can serve as a reminder that we can all pursue our passions and create meaningful careers that stem for that pursuit. Season 2 continues to bring the goods. If you got any value at all, please like, share, subscribe, review, get naked etc etc blah blah. Much love, Nation!

Ok, the Tour is off for now, but that won't stop us. We take a trip down memory lane as well as Magnolia Lane! We start off discussing the benefits of Golf in this adverse time and how we can use Golf to help us. We go deep on Jordan Speith, his highs and lows, special nature and debate whether we think he can get back to his old self. Sam then beautifully takes us to Augusta National in 1986 to remember that special win for Jack Nicklaus. He had been written off and started the tournament in average fashion and couldn't make a putt for love nor money. But the weekend brought the Golden Bear back out of hibernation and the rest was history. We loved recording this and hope we continue to bring nothing but value to you. Once again JJ Nation, if you got any value at all, please help us get in front of more people. A subscribe, share or review will go a long way to help! Much Love, people!

Penmar Social Club. Wow. I have nothing but huge respect and admiration for what Garrett and the crew are creating.  A club totally dedicated to the Golfing experience. It was out of Penmar Golf Course in Venice Beach, California, where Penmar Social Club was born and calls home. They exist to collaborate and enjoy Golf however they see fit, constantly iterating on or altering what rules they play, how tournaments are structured etc with a good time for all being the goal always. Players of all abilities are able to come together, learn from one another and become a part of a supportive community. We then take a dive into Garrett's favourite ways to enjoy Golf and some memorable experiences he has had over the years. Keep up the inspiring an community driven work, man! Once again, if you got any value, please review, subscribe and share! Season 2 continues to deliver :) The 1986 Masters recap up next for episode 5! #JJNATION

Fun Fact: Harrison Ford once crashed his plane at Penmar Golf Course!
