    Same old story nowadays. It’s ok for certain people to have there own clubs, groups etc but not ok for other people. I’m not part of any club but anyone should have the right to be exclusive to whatever they want just like others

  • Great find, even better podcast

    Awesome episode with Grant. Didn’t really get into podcasts up until six months ago. Grant sounds like he genuinely loves the game and has great history to go with it. I’ll be supporting Eagles and Arrows for sure. Thanks again for the episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Nice Wins (with Karen Peek, Detroit's Muni Golf Boss)
Q: What have you learned about how to deliver things to your students to help them become a better golfer and stay more attached to the game?
Peek emphasizes listening, making space for students to explain their experience, and connecting instruction to familiar movements or activities. She recommends setting practical goals and getting students onto the course as soon as possible.
Why Nice Wins (with Karen Peek, Detroit's Muni Golf Boss)
Q: Did you ever feel comfortable at Q-School?
Peek says she never felt comfortable. She felt prepared until she arrived and began comparing herself with other players, which brought doubts about whether she was good enough.
Shared, Not Gatekept (with Jeff Warne Founder New Holland Golf Club)
Q: Where would be your recommendations here in the US.? Is there one or two that exist in your mind today?
Warne recommends Myrtle Beach for its concentration of several good courses, and Maine for its appealing nine-hole courses. He also says parts of upstate New York offer good golf.
Shared, Not Gatekept (with Jeff Warne Founder New Holland Golf Club)
Q: What are the things from those places that you are stealing without apology? And put it on note. What are you gonna take from those places and bring to your new place?
Warne emphasizes drawing on the character of the golf properties he has worked at while creating a distinct course and club at New Holland, shaped by its natural land and a welcoming, members-centered culture.
Don't Shrink the Game. Educate It.
Q: What do you miss today about corporate America? Like what are the things, you know, you obviously were doing it for almost a decade. Are there things in sometimes days where you're like, man, I really missed that?
Beckman most misses helping colleagues develop their careers and working with a team toward shared goals. Coaching has helped fill that mentorship role and gives him a way to support young people.
