What’s up golfers everywhere? Welcome back to Episode 14. We all send the occasional fly ball into someone’s backyard. Unfortunate, but understandable. We can account for that. But how many of our rounds have been sabotaged by the dreaded in-bounds lost ball? Few things are more upsetting on a golf course than missing a fairway or green, only to search for 5 minutes without any luck.

Our guest this week, Tony Pawlak, finally had enough of it, so what did he do? He quit the game. No!! Over the last 9 months Tony has spent his life savings searching for and finding the one developer who shared his vision for using smartphone technology to save golfers heaps of time, money, and frustration. Tony created a golf ball locator app. No GPS, no shiney colors, just a stroke of genius from the mind of a 21st century golf entrepreneur.

 Alright, episode 14, with Tony Pawlak, in the books. That’s right. Golf Ball Locator App. You heard it here first. That's what we're all about. Be sure to sign up for their mailing list at golfballlocatorapp.com. We hope you enjoy our weekly podcasts with the thought leaders, pioneers, and game changers in the golf industry. Thanks for listening today.

The innovators of today create the standards of tomorrow. What we see transpiring in the golf industry is part of a much larger, dynamic, and natural tug of war between progress and stability. The decline in participation over the last 5 years has created an economic vacuum, and entrepreneurs like Blakely are setting up shop at the intersection of these two forces, creating solutions to the biggest problems golfer’s face in today’s world.

In Bret's case, the company he co-founded in 2009 with his close friend Steve Colton, OnCore Golf, has a clear mission: grow the game by designing a golf ball that helps the player score better, more often, and therefore have more fun in less time. OnCore’s patented technology dares to spare us those precious, valuable inches and feet, but the promise didn’t come easily. I was personally inspired by Bret’s story, and I hope you are too. 

*****

We hope you enjoy part 1 of our conversation with Bret Blakely. Be sure to check back next week as we get further into the unfolding story of OnCore Golf. Bret takes us through the difficult challenges, temporary defeats, and ultimately, historic triumphs he and the rest of the team have experienced since getting started back in 2009. You don’t want to miss it.

In the meantime, check this out. As a special discount for our loyal listeners, head to our website, paceofchange.com, for access to a discount on OnCore’s products.

25 years ago Brad Kearns was in the prime of his pro triathlete career. It's 1991, he enters 16 races, 16 races he finishes in the top 3, racks up 9 victories, including the US National Championship. For a couple of months early in the season he was actually ranked #1, and finished the year as the #3 ranked triathlete in the world.

Now, it kind of sounds like I’m talking about Brad’s glory days. I mean, this was a quarter century ago. And maybe, you’re beginning to think, is this a podcast about a guy who used to be great, and we’re going to wax nostalgic about the early days of triathlon, and coincidentally, the earliest days of Speedgolf as we know it?    

Brad would definitely say his strategy in triathlons relied on his strength in the latter legs of the race. He was better on the bike than in the water, and better on his feet than in the saddle. When you look back on the last 25 years of Brad’s life though, a similar pattern begins to emerge.

Now 50 years old, Brad is not only just as competitive with his peer group in things like the high jump(5’3”), the 400 meters (under a minute), the 100 meter sprint (13 seconds), but he’s continually excelling in all areas of work and life. As a longtime Speedgolfer, Brad recently shot 83 in 51 minutes at the 2014 SGWC, good for 20th place in the professional division, and repeated his 20th place finish in 2015 as well. You see, the astonishing thing about Brad’s life is, he’s accomplished so much, and yet his glory days are nowhere to be found.

Since 2008, Brad has been deeply involved in a comprehensive lifestyle movement known as the Primal Blueprint. He’s worked closely with it’s creator on several books, most recently as co-author of Primal Endurance.

Coincidentally, I gotta mention Brad is also a fellow podcaster, hosting the Primal Blueprint Podcast, and Primal Endurance podcast. I highly recommend them.  

I’m not done yet. He is also the Founder and Executive Director of Running School, a non-profit organization promoting cardiovascular fitness for kids. The organization conducts events on campus at partner schools in Northern California and Nevada, tracking students' aerobic conditioning results against national standards and helping kids make healthy lifestyle choices and develop positive attitudes towards competition.

And there’s more. My goodness, so much more. Do you see what I mean now? The bright light in Brad’s life is somewhere up the road, the glory days are part of a story Brad can’t tell yet, because although he’s lived an inspiring, powerful and vibrant life over the last 50 years, his best is yet to come.

In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, running with an undiagnosed hip and knee injury, Nick Willis emerged from the pack down the home stretch of the 1500m finals, passed three runners, and earned a Silver Medal for his valiant effort. A few months later, after a well-deserved break from running, Nick discovered Speedgolf as a way to ease back into his training regimen, and he fell in love with the sport after an exceptional round of 79 in 44 minutes his first time out.

What you’re gonna find out about Nick Willis in the next hour is that he’s not just committed to being an exceptional athlete, at the expense of other areas of his life, like being a husband and father. On the contrary, Nick is committed to a much higher calling, that of being an exceptional human being. What we watch him accomplish on television is just the outpouring of a lifestyle he employs behind the scenes on a daily basis. It’s a lifestyle that emphasizes self-awareness, balance, gratitude, appreciation, trust, and support. For him, maximum energy is derived from a clean and balanced body, and maximum output is the result of a pure and clean conscience. Whether you’re a golfer, or a runner, we all stand to learn a lot from this Olympian who’s been through the ups and downs of sport and life, and has managed to find meaning in every moment, and has continued to ask the most of himself every single day. It was a real honor to have Nick on the podcast, so I hope you enjoy it.

To get you up to speed, Nick actually finished in a close second at the Wannamaker Mile this weekend, running a 3:51 and narrowly missing the win by less than a half second. It was riveting to watch, we’ve posted the video in the show notes (below). Show Nick your support by liking his athlete page on facebook, again that’s facebook.com/willisrunning. He’s definitely in the mix for a medal in the 1500m at the Olympic games this August in Rio.

LINKSRUN

This episode of the Pace of Change Golf Podcast is sponsored in part by LinksRun. Can you guess what Runner’s World rated as the #1 surface to run on? That’s right, golf course fairways. The same fairways that are off limits to runners. There were a record 18,000 timed foot races in the United States last year, and almost all of them were on roads. I wonder how many ran past golf courses and wished they could be on the other side of the fence? Well, LinksRun is making that a reality.

LinksRun is an innovative racing concept whose founders are passionate about running, and growing the game of golf in the 21st Century. Their vision is to build a bridge between two of the largest athletic communities in the world: golfers and runners, by hosting foot races on golf courses.

Welcome to Episode 8. Today we’re talking with Jaacob Bowden. It was actually hard to nail down an appropriate title for exactly what it is he does. Let’s just say, in the world of golf, he’s pretty much done it all. Jaacob is someone who understands the value of writing down his goals and plans, and then pursuing them step by step until achieved.

Take for example, his goal of becoming a professional golfer. You’d probably guess this was his childhood dream, something he fantasized about since he was a kid. Not exactly. Jaacob was 27 when he got started on this dream. And he was by no means a scratch golfer either. A 14 handicap, someone who admired the single digit player in his foursome. He was quite literally the average golfer. An average golfer with a superhuman belief system and a powerhouse work ethic.

His story blossoms from there into a beautiful picture of a late bloomer who falls in love with golf, and turns his love of the game into a budding entrepreneurial career. He’s an out of the box thinker, a swing speed teacher, an accomplished Speedgolfer, a senior writer for GolfWRX.com, and finally, with the recent release of Sterling Irons, a golf club innovator. Alright, I’ve said enough. Let’s catch up with Professional Golf Entrepreneur, (hopefully that sums it up), Jaacob Bowden.

I hope you enjoy our conversation with Jaacob Bowden. Definitely want to encourage you to check out his swing speed training program. Like he mentioned, most golfers have never done any swing speed training, and therefore can see massive gains in just a few weeks time. For his unique view on current topics and events in the world of golf, follow him on your social media platforms of choice: he’s on facebook, twitter, instagram, and youtube.
