  • Great show but audio wasn’t working today (05-12-2026)

    Please listen to it back, ‘diagnose’ the problem — and see if you can remedy the problem. I think you’ll lose listeners and subscribers, if it becomes a chronic issue.

  • Scott Mahoney interview.

    Jimmy,

    Just listened to you and Scott. As you know he’s authentic…. and just a great person. (not afraid to make tough decisions, by the way) Not as easy as he made it sound. Shows how one person can affect an entire business….. while giving credit to everyone else. He took me along for the ride for about 20 years.

    Congrats- great Podcast!Denny DeMarino

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S E37: How Stanford Built a Women’s Golf Powerhouse
Q: What role does NIL play in your program?
NIL has introduced new dynamics, with early examples like Rachel Heck and Rose Zhang showing how sponsorship can complement development; the key is implementing NIL rules in a way that benefits student-athletes and the ecosystem.
S E37: How Stanford Built a Women’s Golf Powerhouse
Q: How do you balance on-course performance with off-the-course development?
We focus on the whole player, including academics, social-emotional growth, and family dynamics, because these factors influence golf performance and long-term leadership.
S E37: How Stanford Built a Women’s Golf Powerhouse
Q: What is your daily approach to designing practices for elite players?
Practices are never identical; they are custom-designed using three data buckets—observations, real-time stats, and players' personal experiences—to keep competition and growth aligned with each athlete's needs.
S E33: Arthur Blank Bet on Himself... and Won
Q: What keeps you grounded as you navigate competing interests in golf's business landscape, especially with the LIV situation and player ownership structures?
By focusing on long-term value for players and fans, emphasizing listening and collaboration, and pushing governance and equity models that empower players as owners, while surrounding myself with capable leadership that strengthens the PGA Tour's pillars.
S E33: Arthur Blank Bet on Himself... and Won
Q: You mentioned golf as both a business and a passion. How did you come to see golf as a serious business opportunity?
I leaned on a combination of realizing the potential of merchandising and scale (as with PGA Tour Superstore), the value of listening to customers, and applying core, proven business principles from Home Depot to golf investments, which turned around struggling ventures and created durable growth.
