Whispers From the Green

In this episode I sat down with author, teaching pro and sports psychologist, Nicole Weller. Nicole shares her idea of how golf is more of an emotional game than it is mental, and how we might use that to our advantage. We discuss how to optimize our bodies physical reactions while learning to identify which of our emotions might be taking over within our minds. Nicole shares her experience working with children and how we can be more effective coaching parents!

Country Singer, professional golfer, and huge supporter of our Veterans. This was an old recording, but still very much relevant. Rob talks about his time on The Big Break, history with addiction and offers the secret to great putting. Great episode and really great guy! 

I couldn't follow up the Ryder Cup with a better episode than this. The mental fortitude it takes to win a tournament like that was on full display this weekend and Sam Jarman shares his take, not only on how to be more present on the course, but off it as well. Such a deep conversation, proving the point that golf is so much more than just a game and the lessons learned can transcend all levels of our lives.

After a long break Whispers from the Green opens season 2 with a Pinehurst local, Nikki Conforti. Nikki has been around the game for most of her life and has spent many of her recent years here in Pinehurst. In this episode we talk about how Nikki got introduced to the game and what eventually brought her to the Pinehurst area. We also drop a bunch of our comments about the local courses here for anyone hoping to come and play. Another great conversation about golf and about Pinehurst.

Such a great and fun episode as I sit down and interview former LPGA pro, Kelly Cap. In today's episode we talk a lot about the importance of keeping your body in shape to compliment your own swing and the importance of learning what may be specific trouble areas. Kelly takes us through her career and how her "after golf" life came to be. Hear some stories about her days on tour from an amazing golfer and even a better individual!

In our conversation we discuss how the Par Train and WFTG came to be, talk a little about our friend Steven Pressfield, and even dive into what began Evan on his spiritual path. Of course, we also talk a little about golf and some of Evan's favorite courses as he shares his recent experience at Bandon Dunes with our listeners.

Please join us this week as we sit down with Pro Golfer and All American Matt Vick to discuss golf's "it" factor, how the game might be changing and what it is like to play your first PGA tour event at the young age of 43. Matt talks a bit about his younger days and how his father was inspirational in starting him on his golf journey while hoping he can do the same for the next generation of Vick's. Just a fun hearted conversation between two golf fanatics, one of whom is also a phenomenal player and the other who just asks a lot of questions. 

In this episode we talk to Victor Afable the Owner of VA Composites, one of the leading shaft companies today. He talks about his life in Pinehurst, how he founded his current company and why being fitted for the right shaft will improve your game, regardless of handicap.
