  • Rise and Demise Series

    For any history buff, these are awesome. For golf history buffs, these are even more compelling. It is great to listen to these, and then look at the company’s product across my office (staring at an old Hogan iron at this moment). Keep up the great work on all of the podcasts.

  • Strong Content…

    But as with most podcasts the hosts talk for too much, stack multiple questions, interrupt, use over the top hyperbole. They need to ask questions and then shut up! They are the interviewers not the interviewees.
