  • Shad Tuten Interview

    Aside from making it all about himself Shane misses the entire issue with Shad… he got screwed.

  • Great guests, great conversations

    Really enjoy the podcast. Miss Max, but you can really tell Shane is trying to have guest from all corners of the golf world and showcase the positive things this game has to offer. Personally I’ve been trying to get better content on the APGA and the recent episode was a fantastic insight into some great players and even better people. Highly recommend for podcasts that fit both the golf geek and the general sports fan.
