Welcome to this episode of The Wild Golf Podcast with Michael McDonald and Luke Willett.  Imagine a world where you love golf and love working with kids.  Imagine further that you could do all of that at St. Andrews, the home of golf.  Our guest today is Rachel Lewis and she is living that dream.  Rachel is a former Welsh international amateur who spent four years at university in Florida on a golf scholarship.  She is the only female PGA professional at the Golf Academy at St. Andrews and she is the coordinator of the junior programme.  You will be blown away by Rachel’s passion and energy for life, chocolate and the game of golf.  We hope you enjoy the show as much as we did.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Wild Golf Podcast with Luke Willett and Michael McDonald.  We are honoured to have Kendal McWade on this episode.  Kendal has over 40 years experience in professional golf and is the founder of Instinctive Golf Coaching.  Over 20 years ago Kendal had the courage to step outside the conventional golf coaching box.  Kendal shares the wild experience of his trip to California where he had a transformative experience.  The feeling, experience and learning of the student is at the heart of Kendal's approach.  As Paul McGinley has said, "It's the simplicity of Kendal's coaching that makes it so effective."  Both Luke and Michael have benefited from being gently guided by Kendal into a place where learning can happen.  This interview focuses much more on Kendal's own journey as a golfer and person, and less on his journey as a coach, but both are of course intertwined.

This is episode 1 of The Wild Golf Podcast with Luke Willett and Michael McDonald.  Our podcasting journey had to start with Luke Willett, The Iron Golfer.  Luke exemplifies everything about wild golf and adventure golf.  He is one of the many pioneers who is pushing the boundaries of what is possible with a set of golf clubs.  Luke is many things.  He is a PGA professional, a climbing golfer, speed golfer, ultra distance golfer, triathlon golfer and host of golf adventure retreats.  But first and foremost, he is a father of three daughters and a husband.  Luke has (just to highlight a few adventures):

• climbed the three highest peaks in the U.K. with his clubs, playing a round of golf at the base of each peak, in under 24 hours
• run 57 miles along The Thames with his clubs, playing golf along the way at various courses, in under 24 hours
• played all 14 Open rota golf courses, cycling over 800 miles between them, in 10 days
• played three well known courses in Surrey, running between them, in just over two hours
