The Tie Podcast

#PICKLEPOD. Some of you may remember Tadd Fujisawa as the 15 year old hawaiian who qualified for the 2006 US Open then made the cut in the 2007 Sony Open in Hawaii. Well, Tadd would go on to play more than 10 years of pro golf after that only to be found by  a new passion that is now his full time gig, Pro Pickleball.

Tadd is the head pickle ball pro at Sea Island and also travels around to some professional pickle ball tournaments to compete against other pros. As a total novice to what is now the fastest growing sport in america. This episode was basically a tutorial on the game to me, so if you are ready to get into the pickle scene, this episode may be for you! Hope everyone enjoys. Feel free to let us know what you think or engage with our partners at the links below!

Lukas is back!

Always a blast talking to Lukas about golf course architecture AND competition. As we stand in late November 2022, both paths are still an option. As he gears up for a heavy summer with Australia's best events, 7 Mile Beach in Tasmania awaits his return.

We go over the project, which is located about 15 minutes from the Hobart airport- nearly 3 hours closer than its predecessor, Barnbougle. We discuss what it's like learning from different approaches on site-- the Mikes (DeVries and Clayton) being the primary architects running the show.

Lukas talks about having a shaping team of accomplished golfers, the autonomy and responsibility given on site (particularly with the practice facility at 7MB), and what it's like learning to build features more efficiently.

Make sure to check out the links below for updates on the project!

Foster McCune is not your everyday 23 year old. Instead of going back to school for another year of eligibility with Georgetown Soccer, he continued his relationship with   The National Links Trust. A few conversations later, he was found setting up for a Golfers Journal Event with Casey Bannon. "Does this guy work for us"?
"Maybe"...

Foster is almost 2 years into running an event schedule that puts ambitious golf nuts on the same piece of ground together for a weekend. Almost two dozen states covered (just with events, no travel), many thousands of miles in a murked out sprinter van, a shit ton of phone calls, planning, early mornings, "where are we getting dinner's", and "can I stay at your place in a few weeks" have taken place since that day with Casey during COVID.

And in a big way, that's Foster's Tie.

Get out there, be active, get involved, see come cool stuff, hold some responsibility, and enjoy the sunrises- because there will be many. And creating relationships with the people who bring soul to the game-- that brings us energy.

Enjoy the pod with Foster McCune.

Matthew Galloway is a man of many talents and few interests. The term 'golf nut' gets thrown around a lot- but what qualifies someone for that title?

After a successful college career at University of West Florida and a State Amateur Title, Matt appeared on Golf Channel's "Big Break Mexico". After playing professionally across a variety of mini-tours, it was caddying that gave him the opportunity to see golf through a new lens.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Mini Tour life
- Caddying at Streamsong
- College Golf Fellowship & Lee Janzen
- Money games at Isleworth
- Do we over-analyze golf course architecture?
- $1.50 Street-side Pad Thai
- Stinky Tofu over Applebees... all day.
- Meeting (& working for) Michelle Wie West
- Mid Am Golf (Crump Cup & Gasparilla Inv.)
- & more

We're back to talk about the fall season on the college golf front and run through how are predictions from the preseason primer shook out, what we were surprised by this fall, what we are tracking heading into the spring, and what some of our predictions are headed into the spring.

Lots of great golf this fall and a lot to be excited for headed into the spring season. There are a good many events that will be on golf channel so be sure to keep track of those with our help to know when to tune in to watch a bit of college golf to get excited for NCAA's come May. Until next time,

Cheers,

Tony Aloi is a former pro golfer turned assistant golf pro turned part time chef turned full time private chef. Tony has cooked for friends on the PGA Tour and does tons of private dinner parties for people on and near Sea Island. If you need any tips or inspiration on your pasta game, Tony is your guy, but pasta is not all he does. As Tony has expanded his business, his menu has followed. Steaks, chicken, fried shrimp, vegan food, the man does it all, and it all looks delicious. My real takeaway from this episode is Tony's passion. You can't fake loving what you do, and it won't take long to gather how much Tony enjoys what he does every single day. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did and be sure to checkout our stuff as well as Tony's at the links below!

Interesting week at The Tie. Inspired by the PGA Tour being in Bermuda this week, The Tie Guys sit down to talk about what we have in the Caribbean, what is coming down the line in the next few years from a golf course standpoint. There are some really neat projects being done and planned on the islands and we are looking forward to seeing what we will have in a few years time. We think there are some neat opportunities to create destination golf options in the Caribbean so let us know what you think about the conversation by reaching out at the links below!

This was a fun topic to tackle. We have talked a lot about LIV at The Tie and although we may not love everything about it, we do believe it is important to not act as if it doesn't exist or that when players go LIV that they shouldn't have the opportunity to talk about their decision and experiences on this new tour.

We figured there isn't really a better guy to talk to about this to get candid insight to his decision than HV3. Harold is a very straight shooter and just an all around good guy. His willingness to be very open about what went into his decision and ultimately why the LIV tour made sense for him and his family was very refreshing and I think it is a healthy thing for many people to hear.
